CHAPTER 228: 182 CHAPTER THOUGHTS CLEAR

Chapter 182: Thoughts Traversed

But relies on the Second World.

For some reason, the Second World has no intention of dominating Water Blue Star, nor is there a single true alien or remnant of a previous civilization point.

Everything seems to follow predetermined rules, as if this technological civilization’s life has ended, but its technological power remains preserved, and the regulations stay intact.

Just follow the rules, enter the Second World, and exchange the needed items with Primordial Qi Pills.

It doesn’t directly provide technological techniques, only finished products, but when it comes to deciphering, it’s laissez-faire, not intervening.

Relaxed well, feeling pleased, Small Knife entered the Second World once again.

No prompt, don’t know why.

But Small Knife had a feeling, a shadow of the Golden Bell appeared in his Dantian.

It seemed like his real-world Golden Bell was also brought to the Second World, merging the two Golden Bells together.

Gradually, it fused into one, becoming more solid, yet still transparent.

Small Knife was thoughtful, seemingly sensing without the need for a system prompt.

So, with a thought, a piece of metal appeared in his hand.

The Golden Bell emerged from his body and enveloped the metal.

The metal decayed at a visible speed, as if something was being siphoned away.

Soon, the metal turned to flying ash.

Next piece!

Next piece.

...!

Not knowing how much metal was consumed, his personal space had long been out of stock, luckily the Witch Residence warehouse still had plenty stored, satisfying his consumption.

Drip: Congratulations, your Companion Treasure has reached Great Perfection.

The prompt sounded, bringing Small Knife back to his senses, the transparent Golden Bell in front of him was no longer transparent but had completely become solid, like a real entity.

It’s still a junior-level magical artifact, not upgrading to intermediate as imagined, but Small Knife felt the defense had increased significantly, at least doubled.

After so much hard cultivation, the strength, especially the defense, has increased several times, everything was worth it.

He carefully examined the golden small bell floating in front of him.

Attributes Reality.

Golden Bell: Attribute, Earth Gold, Innate Companion Treasure, Junior-Grade Spiritual Artifact, Growth: 100,000,000 experience. Defense (First Realm): 20.

Hint: Combining with cultivation technique Golden Bell Shield can enhance defense.

Small Knife was puzzled, how was this defense of twenty calculated?

But it should be decent.

It’s time to emerge from seclusion.

Small Knife has now broken through the Hundred-Level bottleneck, ready to upgrade.

After such long cultivation, devouring millions of experience, even after consuming a portion, the total experience was still over nine million.

Upon checking, he discovered that upgrading one level required one million experience, could only increase by nine levels?

After hesitating for a moment, he did not upgrade.

He glanced once again; the experience required to upgrade the Lifebound Treasure had added an extra zero.

These days, besides hard cultivation, Small Knife also pondered and coveted that treasure vault, wanting to seek treasure there.

The ruins of the cultivation sect, if he could acquire all the remnants within, it’d be easier for him to mingle when leaving.

Thinking much, inspiration came, and plans formed.

Childhood friends would arrive later, couldn’t wait.

So he contacted the guild leaders of the Nine Heavens Guild and the Four Seas Guild, inviting them to gather.

The news spread, and soon the two guild leaders arrived.

They hadn’t actually left the Hidden Witch Tribe.

Both guild leaders were enthusiastic, even somewhat fawning.

Because, the internal test players could activate thanks to the Half-Spirit Water sold by Small Knife.

"I need a group of people as a signal source to expand the Celestial Net range, I need reliable players." Small Knife didn’t mince words and directly stated his plan.

"No problem! We may not have much else, but we have lots of brothers, all trustworthy." The two pounded their chests in assurance.

Small Knife didn’t waste words, directly sending out contracts through Little Knife Studio.

Requiring both major forces to provide a large number of players, using players as coordinates to temporarily expand the Celestial Net’s range, which is the system’s coverage range.

The requirement is that even if they die, soul fragments must not be retrieved for one month.

Based on the acquired intelligence, Small Knife also knows the importance of the Celestial Net.

Within the Celestial Net range, with system coverage, as long as players don’t die continuously, it’s not a major problem.

But outside the Celestial Net, death becomes serious, if you can’t recover the soul fragments lost upon death, the consequences become even more severe.

Too many internal test players have paid a heavy price for this.

Currently, over at Northern Witch, besides the totem poles, players can serve as signal sources.

Players not far from each other can form a local area network.

As long as they’re not red-named, if someone dies, the soul fragment will automatically attach to others, once in contact with the Celestial Net range, it instantly returns.

Small Knife’s plan, at the edge of the Celestial Net’s coverage, to have players stand at certain distances like communication base stations, as long as the player number is large enough, the Celestial Net can expand to the desired location.

The only concern is players having issues, thus needing both major forces to rely on their guild (battalion)-level as guarantors.

This task rewards each with a jin of Earth Grade Half-Spirit Liquid.

Price-wise, that’s only 10,000 Bone Coins per jin.

Both major forces can overlook this money, but the spirit liquid cannot be bought with money, requiring spirit stones or treasures instead.

In this manner, with enough people, the profits are significant, both major forces were thrilled and repeatedly assured it’s no problem.

Of course, Small Knife paid this price with some requirements; players must stand at designated positions as required, and they must be pre-set, even if they die, the soul fragments must remain for one month before returning, that’s the key.
