Upon hearing this, Ye Chen thought of the glittering stones that his mentor Xu Jing held in his hands before entering the secret realm.
If I had enough spirit stones, wouldn't I be able to stay in the secret realm forever?
He had previously asked Jiang Ningshuang what would happen if the power of the spirit stone was exhausted and they had not yet emerged from the secret realm.
The answer was: they would be expelled into another dimension by the secret space.
You might even end up being transported to some other world.
Therefore, if you want to kill monsters in the secret realm, you can only continuously consume spirit stones.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked: "Brother, how many contribution points can be exchanged for a spirit stone?"
"One hundred contribution points for one yuan."
Yan Wenxing continued, "If you want to earn contribution points, besides gaining honor for the school, the most common way is to complete tasks. Task difficulty is divided into four levels: C, B, A, and S. Only tasks with difficulty of B or above will earn contribution points. S-level tasks can earn 100 contribution points."
"The most difficult task can only be exchanged for one spirit stone?"
"Of course! Spiritual stones are a scarce resource. We don't have many on Blue Star to begin with, and most of them are obtained in the Demon Cave. However, the large-scale spirit stone veins in the Demon Cave are all controlled by the demon forces, and we can't get our hands on them at all."
After hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.
If I only exchange spirit stones for tasks, how long will it take me to save them up before I can enter the secret realm, not to mention the money needed for cultivation?
Thinking about entering the secret realm today, Xu Jing added countless spirit stones into it. It seemed that Principal Hu had obviously contributed too much to her.
If I don't produce some results, I will really be unworthy of his huge investment in my training.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked again: "Brother, how many contribution points can I get for gaining honors?"
Yan Wenxing replied, "That depends on how great the honor is. If it's provincial or national, and can boost our school's ranking, you can earn thousands or even tens of thousands of contribution points. If it's a world championship, the sum is even more astronomical. However, this method is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than completing quests. Anyway, I haven't received any such honors yet."
Ye Chen nodded.
He didn't plan to do tasks to earn spirit stones. That would be too tiring and inefficient.
Or the path of gaining honor is suitable for me.
But you have to have the ability first.
After all, you still have to improve your combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
At least reach the seventh level of strength first.
In terms of cultivation, he is now at the second level, and can also spend money on elixirs to improve quickly.
As for the secret realm, you can only suck Lao Hu's blood first.
When I become rich in the future, I will compensate him many times over.
After chatting with Yan Wenxing for a while, Ye Chen returned to the dormitory with him.
Right now, my Qi and blood are almost breaking a thousand, and there is a trend of continued growth.
So he took another body-tempering pill.
For an average second-grade warrior, his Qi and Blood would limit to around 400, but he hadn't reached the limit even after his Qi and Blood exceeded 1,000.
It is already comparable to the Qi and blood of an ordinary fourth-grade initial-stage warrior.
This is the benefit of having a strong foundation.
Ye Chen spent the next few days practicing.
Soon all five body-tempering pills were eaten.
He also felt that his energy and blood had reached their limit.
So Ye Chen contacted Cheng Siyu again and asked her to help him prepare the "Fitness Pill" to break through to the third level.
This kind of pill is even more expensive, with one pill costing over 300 million.
Buying this kind of medicine almost used up all his savings.
Although there are cheaper ones, Ye Chen doesn't intend to compromise.
Anyway, according to what Senior Brother Yan Wenxing said, after entering the middle level, it is difficult to buy the necessary cultivation resources with money.
And this is indeed the case.
Ye Chen asked Cheng Siyu if she could get him a fourth-grade elixir, and the answer he got was that it was very difficult.
Most pill manufacturers basically only produce one to three grades of pills.
No matter how high the level of the elixir is, it cannot be mass-produced, and the raw materials required are too rare and expensive.
The raw materials needed to make fourth-grade elixirs are all spiritual treasures that can only grow in places with rich spiritual energy.
In the environment of Blue Star, artificial breeding is simply impossible.
You can only have the chance to see it in secret realms or magic caves.
Moreover, this kind of spiritual treasure usually needs to be purchased with spiritual stones, and it is rare to settle the payment with money.
It was the second day after Ye Chen broke through to the third level.
There was a knock on the door of his villa.
Ye Chen saw from the surveillance video that there were three young men standing outside his door.
One of them was Luo Feng.
Ye Chen opened the door and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Then he looked at Luo Feng, "Didn't we agree that the showdown would be in half a month? It's still more than a week away."
Luo Feng didn't say anything, but the burly man with a scar on his face who was the leader of the three smiled.
"Could we please go inside and talk?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly. Although this person had a smile on his face, he gave him a very sinister feeling.
However, Ye Chen still let them in, wanting to see what they were up to.
When they entered the room, the scarred burly man sat on the sofa, while Luo Feng and the other young man stood on his left and right.
He looked as if he was the only one who followed his lead.
Ye Chen asked, "May I ask your name?"
"I don't deserve it. I'm Jia Ren."
The scarred-faced man smiled again and said, "You're new to Chuncheng, so you might not know that my father is Jia Zheng, the governor of Northeast Province."
Ye Chen raised his brows.
There are only five provincial governors in the whole of China. It can be said that each of them is a high-ranking official. With just a stomp of their feet, the whole of China would tremble.
The other party introduced himself directly and it seemed that he had no intention of beating around the bush with him.
Immediately, Ye Chen sat on the sofa opposite, looked at the former and said, "Brother Jia, just tell me what you want."
"Brother Ye Chen is a man of quick words, so straightforward!"
Jia Ren said with a smile: "It's nothing, actually. I just want you, brother Ye Chen, to withdraw from the competition and give this opportunity to Luo Feng. He will graduate next year, and the future belongs to you, brother."
"I'm sorry, Brother Jia, I can't do that. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I don't want to miss it."
As if he had known that Ye Chen would answer like this, Jia Ren continued to persuade with a smile on his face:
"Don't be so heartless, brother Ye Chen. Martial arts is not just about fighting and killing, there are also social skills. This time, if you give the opportunity to Luo Feng, we will definitely not treat you unfairly."
He pointed at the two people beside him and said, "You know Luo Feng, his father is the chief of defense of Chuncheng. This one is called Ke Yu, the son of the mayor of Chuncheng. If he can make friends with the three of us, won't Brother Ye Chen be able to walk all over the Northeast Province in the future?"
While speaking, Jia Ren always had a confident and calm smile on his face, as if he was in control of everything and had Ye Chen in his grasp.
But Ye Chen's answer made Jia Ren's face suddenly darken:
"Sorry, I'm a bit straightforward and can't handle social interactions. Martial arts matters should be resolved using martial arts methods."
Jia Ren said coldly: "So, Brother Ye Chen is unwilling to give me this face?"
