Chapter 285: Stationed Indefinitely - 285
Guang Fu watched in horror as the wing got closer and closer. He instinctively closed his eyes, not willing to watch his death happen before his own eyes.
After some internal conflict, Guang Fu's eyes opened again. He decided to die brave and courageous instead of acting like a coward.
Guang Fu watched the wing reach within a few inches of him. Suddenly, the shield emblem on his chest began to glow. Then, a golden barrier appeared around Guang Fu, stopping the wing in its tracks.
Guang Fu's mind raced as the crane stood shocked. In less than a second, Guang Fu's slash cut the crane's head off.
Its head flew far away and landed on the ground, its eyes still opened wide. Guang Fu fell on the ground and sat there. He too was shocked by the development.
He hurriedly took the shield emblem off of his chest and looked at it. It was similar to before, but the gold on it was more dim.
Guang Fu spent the rest of the day staring at it. After a day had passed, the gold was looking the same as before. This proved a few conjunctions that Guang Fu had made in the last day.
First, the shield emblem was very likely a special defensive weapon. From its brief performance earlier, it seemed to at least be of the void traversing realm.
Second, it seemed to automatically activate when its user, or Guang Fu, was about to die.
Third, it seemed to have the ability to recharge.
If Guang Fu guessed right, the emblem was something that could be used a few times in a day before it stopped working. After a day, it would recharge.
Guang Fu couldn't help but be amazed at his luck. The providence he had been given by Zhou Fan was showing its effect.
An item owned by a poor beggar and sold for cheap actually turned out to be a defensive weapon that would be expensive anywhere in the world.
Guang Fu had gone out searching for silver and found diamond!
As the day ended, Guang Fu regained his composure and reported his situation to the talisman. After a few "Are you insane"s and some "Who do you think you are"s, Guang Fu was given the order to stay put as previously planned.
Naturally, the events were reported to higher ups. Most of the information was concealed by Guang Fu, only mentioning that he took down an injured cultivator a tier above him.
Luckily, he was barely punished. Instead of giving him contribution points for killing a third tier nascent soul realm cultivator, he was given the contribution points for killing a second tier nascent soul realm cultivator.
Despite the punishment, he was given compliments by the higher ups.
After taking his replacement's body to the teleportation array and having it collected, Guang Fu waited in his location for 6 months.
Only after 6 months did a new challenger walk into the square.
As the barrier formed, he spoke. "I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is, if you win this, you will be left alone for quite some time. The bad news is, I am one of the strongest talents of the beast world."
The one speaking was a large hippo twenty feet tall. He was purple and fat. He was at the 6th level of the nascent soul realm, two levels above Guang Fu.
Despite his declarations, Guang Fu smiled. He had a trump card that guaranteed his victory.
Without allowing the hippo to speak further, Guang Fu got up and ran towards him recklessly. The hippo was surprised, but laughed and charged forward.
Guang Fu formed a sword of light Qi using all of his power without even caring about defense.
"Fool!" The hippo said as a water needle came out of its mouth, shooting toward Guang Fu at an incredible speed.
Guang Fu laughed and got closer before swinging down. As he swung down, the water needle hit him, or rather the golden barrier that appeared, and bounced off.
The hippo's eyes widened as a wave of light Qi hit the hippo full force, knocking it back into a tree. Despite its great size and incredible defense, it was on the verge of death. Guang Fu did not waste time as a large landslide earth Qi crushed the hippo to death.
The barrier fell down and Guang Fu was declared the victor. He took the hippo's corpse and roasted it over a fire. Luckily, the hippo was dead and its defense had fallen greatly.
Otherwise, Guang Fu with no fire affinity and no experience in using or practicing fire techniques wouldn't have been able to enjoy the meal.
Guang Fu reported his victory to the talisman which had previously received word of the hippo's challenge.
"Congrats on the victory. The hippo was one of the great talents of the beast world. As previously shown on the wall, you will get rewards equal to that from killing a 3rd tier nascent soul realm cultivator." The talisman informed him.
Guang Fu nodded as he calculated his points. Ignoring the points from simply staying stationed, he now had 2,097 contribution points.
When his break time was up and he went back, he would be able to lavishly enjoy his time. As six months passed and Guang Fu was waiting for a notice from the talisman, he received new orders.
"Due to the beast world deciding to leave the square guarded by you alone, it has been requested that you keep your post. In order to compensate you, we will triple the contribution points gained from staying. Along with that, we have given a heavenborn the job of buying items for you and bringing them to you. He will be available once a year and will arrive soon. Apologies and good luck." The mechanical voice said.
Guang Fu wasn't sure what to think. On one hand, he got more contribution points and a personal shopper. On the other hand, he was forced to stay in a constant state of battle readiness.
Eventually, Guang Fu sighed and waited for his personal shopper to arrive.
Chapter 286: Personal Shopper Yuo - 286
After waiting for another hour, Guang Fu saw a figure appear on the teleportation array. He carried with him a large book the size of his chest.
Seeing Guang Fu, the shopper walked over and introduced himself.
"My name is Yuo. Nice to meet you Mr.Guang Fu." The shopper said.
"Hello Yuo. Nice to meet you." Guang Fu responded.
Without wasting any time, Yuo took the book and placed it on the ground.
"There are some more convenient ways of transmitting the information, but I prefer to go by the classic way. In this book is a list of every single item that can possibly be bought with contribution points. It is quite a lot, but you should have no issue memorizing it." Yuo said.
"Alright." Guang Fu responded as he flipped over the cover and looked at the first page. The first page was filled to the brim with items, prices, and descriptions.
The text was so small that a mortal would need a magnifying glass to read it. Guang Fu quickly read over the page and saw a bunch of low level items that he had no use for, along with spirit stones.
In total, the book had 4,000 pages. It took Guang Fu nearly an hour to read and memorize everything.
There were thousands of items he could not afford or even use, and tens of thousands of items he would not use.
Luckily, there were plenty he could find a use for. For example, on a page regarding core formation items, there was an item called the automatic house creator.
It was a one time use item that, when injected with Qi, would form a house. It came with furniture, but nothing too fancy.
Guang Fu thought for a while and realized that he would be staying a while. He decided to buy the automatic house for a hundred contribution points.
After that, he bought a couple of snacks, all adding up to twenty contribution points, and some expensive clothes with formations on them for a thousand contribution points.
The formations would activate a defense in times of peril. While Guang Fu had the emblem, there was no problem with being too cautious. Also, in the case that he was ever seen using the emblem, he may be able to claim the clothes did it.
Guang Fu spent 1,120 contribution points, bringing his total to 1,050 due to the contribution points received from staying stationed.
After telling Yuo his choices, Yuo wrote them down and left, saying that he would return in around a week with Guang Fu's items.
In the meantime, Guang Fu cultivated.
After a week and one day, Yuo returned with Guang Fu's items. He handed them to Guang Fu and left quickly.
Guang Fu looked at his items one at a time. He put the snacks he had bought in his spatial ring and looked at the clothes he bought.
He had bought a shirt and pants. The shirt was similar to a vest and opened up in the middle. It could be clipped together with buttons as if it was a jacket. It was red and yellow. There was a design of a golden dragon coiling upwards and a silk red background.
There were also dragons going down the sleeves. It was a very elegantly made shirt.
The pants were a plain white color with no design. It was very simple, but it matched the shirt and his blonde hair.
Next, Guang Fu turned his attention to the automatic house. In its current state, it looked like a square block of wood. Guang Fu could have looked deeper into it to see how it was made, but he did not care.
He inputted his Qi into the block of wood and backed away, waiting for the show. The first thing that happened was the block of wood expanded in size. At first, it could fit in a normal person's palm, although it was quite heavy.
Now, it was as tall as Guang Fu and its width was equal.
Next, it turned into a vertical rectangle with a piece of wood going upwards. Then, two more rectangles extended out of the sides of the cube.
Then, the wood expanded again, growing thrice as big. Afterwards, the wood extended backwards. Then, from the vertical rectangle, two more cubes burst from the side. Finally, windows and a door appeared.
The house in front of Guang Fu could only be described as a mansion. Disregarding its outside size, Guang Fu walked inside and saw a completely unexpected scene.
Unlike the outside, which was completely wood, the inside of the house looked no different from a normal house. There were white walls, a living room, many other rooms, and a master bedroom.
The master bedroom was the only room on the top floor and had a balcony. Guang Fu entered and saw that, like the rest of the house, it was completely furnished. There was a large bed and a dresser, along with windows and curtains.
Although Guang Fu did not mind it, he didn't pay too much attention to the details. After wandering around, he figured that the best place to cultivate would be the balcony.
Guang Fu walked onto it and sat down before beginning to cultivate. Time passed and seasons changed as Guang Fu remained on the balcony. As expected, he was left alone by the beast world. While the amount of time he would be left alone was unknown, Guang Fu knew that he should at least have ten or so years.
A year soon passed and the personal shopper came back again. He walked up to Guang Fu's house, but Guang Fu did not want or need anything this time.
"Go back. I do not need anything right now." Guang Fu said to the man below.
"Alright." Yuo Responded. "Have a good year."
Yuo then ran back to the teleportation array and disappeared. Guang Fu took out some snacks and had a bite before going back to cultivation.
