บท 24: Chapter 24: Family Hunting
After putting away the Soul Crystal Gu, Zhou Ming picked up the watch on the table to check the time.
"Hmm, this time?" Zhou Ming frowned slightly after some calculations.
After some calculation, he finally figured out the time ratio between the Main God Space and the main world.
For convenience, the world can be divided into three parts: the main world, Zhou Ming's personal space in the Main God Space, and the public space of the Main God Space.
Firstly, whether in the main world or in the public space of the Main God Space, the time in the personal space remains still. In other words, if Zhou Ming is not in the personal space, time does not pass in the personal space.
Secondly, when Zhou Ming is in his personal space, the flow of time in the main world and the personal space is consistent. In other words, if Zhou Ming stays in his personal space for a day, a day will also pass in the main world.
Thirdly, the time ratio between the public space and the main world cannot be determined and can be temporarily assumed to be the same. This is because the time in both the main world and the public space is always flowing normally, and time does not pause just because Zhou Ming is not there.
"Why does the Main God make time so complicated?"
To Zhou Ming, it was another mystery.
Shaking his head, Zhou Ming pushed these questions to the back of his mind and counted his inventory.
One Sword Insect Gu, one Soul Crystal Gu, twenty Leaf Blade Gu, tens of primeval stones, and 2,979 reward points.
The Leaf Blade Gu had a selling price of 330 primeval stones in the shop, but it could only be sold for around 290 to 300 primeval stones to the store. Nevertheless, this was the highest-priced one-turn Gu in Zhou Ming's possession.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to another market and sell this batch of goods."
With this goal in mind, Zhou Ming busily rushed around all day, fighting a battle of wits with the void, working hard both mentally and physically. He soon fell into a deep sleep.
Of course, before sleeping, he didn't forget to use the Soul Crystal Gu.
The next day, as soon as Zhou Ming got up, he left the clan and went to another market that was slightly further away from the clan.
Although it was said to be slightly farther away, it wasn't much further compared to the market he had gone to yesterday. The only difference was that the number of shops belonging to the Zhou family was relatively small, and the connection with the Zhou family was not as close as that of the market yesterday.
This had no effect on Zhou Ming. As long as the shop was not within the clan, he could sell his goods at a similar price, no matter where he went.
He quickly sold all 20 Leaf Blade Gu he had and with the several dozen primeval stones he had previously, he managed to get a total of 6,000 primeval stones.
Then he went on a shopping spree again.
Compared to last time, when he bought various kinds of Gu to try, this time Zhou Ming's purchase of Gu was very targeted.
All he bought were one-time consumption Gu!
Generally speaking, the price of a consumption Gu is only one-sixth of the price of the same-level Gu.
For example, a rank 1 consumption Gu usually costs around 50 primeval stones, while a rank 2 consumption Gu can sell for 150 primeval stones or more.
When it comes to rank 3 Gu, the price soars. The price of a regular rank 3 Gu usually ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 primeval stones, and it's normal for a one-time consumption Gu of the same level to sell for more than 800 primeval stones.
In the end, he bought four rank 2 Gu and six rank 3 Gu, all of which were the lowest-priced one-time consumption Gu in their respective levels. Even so, it cost him more than 5,400 primeval stones.
With less than 600 primeval stones left, he did not spend any more, as daily life and cultivation also require a considerable amount of primeval stones.
After consuming 1000 reward points, Zhou Ming once again returned to the main god space.
Counting the time he returned from completing the task, this was his fourth time entering the main god space, and he had spent a total of 2000 reward points.
But, it was worth it.
After submitting all the gu worms in his hand to the main god, Zhou Ming's reward points once again soared!
At the main god's space, it takes 1000 reward points to exchange for a rank 3 gu worm. Accordingly, Zhou Ming can get 2000 reward points for submitting one rank 3 gu worm, and a total of 12000 reward points for submitting six rank 3 gu worms!
Four rank 2 gu worms contributed 2840 reward points.
As Zhou Ming expected, when he submitted the third rank 2 gu worm, he had already submitted a total of ten rank 2 gu worms in the main god's space. So the fourth one, which is the eleventh rank 2 gu worm, only gave him 440 reward points.
When the number of gu worms of the same level submitted exceeds ten, the extra reward points will change from double to one-tenth of the original amount.
Anyway, Zhou Ming's assets have now skyrocketed, and he has a total of 16819 reward points, which directly makes up for yesterday's consumption.
"It turns out that doing business is more promising than fighting and killing."
"However, although these reward points look like a lot, they are still not enough to support my next exchange."
Zhou Ming muttered to himself.
Anything he exchanges with the main god may be refined into Gu worms upon his return to the Gu world, which greatly limits him.
For example, the Forest Spirit Bloodline that Zhou Ming exchanged has four levels in total: low, intermediate, high, and top. Each level of exchange requires a certain amount of reward points, as well as the prerequisite of having the bloodline of the lower level.
If he wants to exchange for an intermediate Forest Spirit Bloodline, he must have the low-level bloodline. But after he exchanges for the low-level bloodline and returns to the Gu world, it will be refined into a Gu worm, which prevents him from further upgrading his bloodline.
Other reincarnators can gradually upgrade their bloodlines by accumulating reward points from one task world to another.
However, in order for Zhou Ming to obtain a high-level bloodline, he must strengthen it all at once, otherwise, he would lose all his progress if he returns to the Gu world during the process.
Therefore, Zhou Ming must accumulate a large number of reward points before considering the next upgrade.
Having made up his mind to accumulate a wave of reward points, Zhou Ming exchanged for a pure soul crystal and twenty leaf blade Gu before exiting the main god's space once again.
For safety reasons, he will not exchange any rank 2 Gu to sell before he advances to rank 2. Now that his aptitude has been upgraded to Grade A, it is not difficult for him to break through from the peak of rank 1 to rank 2, and he can definitely achieve it before the next mission starts.
Before entering the main god's space, this was his three-month plan, and even he was not fully confident that he could successfully advance to rank 2 within three months.
Returning to the Gu world, he was still in his room. Zhou Ming first used the soul crystal Gu after he had just arrived and then prepared to continue his cultivation to spend the remaining time of the day.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Zhou Ming opened the door and saw the visitor. He smiled and said, "Captain, why are you here?"
"Where have you been these past few days? I couldn't find you anywhere."
The person standing at the door was a young man in a white robe, emitting the aura of a rank 2 Gu Master.
In the Zhou family, Gu Masters usually form teams of five people to complete tasks and earn sect contributions and primeval stones.
Zhou Ming was no exception. He belonged to a new team led by Zhou Hao, the only rank 2 Gu Master in the team. The other three team members were two peak rank 1 Gu Masters and one, like Zhou Ming, was in the rank 1 upper stage.
"Wow, you reached the peak of rank 1 in just a few days?"
Zhou Ming did not deliberately conceal his aura, and Zhou Hao soon sensed the change, asking with surprise and joy.
"Yes, I secluded myself for a few days to cultivate and luckily succeeded in breaking through," Zhou Ming lied.
"Good, good, good! Now our mission is even more secure!" Zhou Hao exclaimed happily.
"What mission?" Zhou Ming had a bad feeling and asked quickly.
"Hunting," Zhou Hao replied. "The family is going to hold a large hunting event in May, and all the Gu Masters who opened their apertures in the same year as us have to participate."
"To get familiar with and further polish our team's cooperation ahead of time, I have accepted a hunting mission. Our entire team will participate and train well together," said the team captain.
Zhou Ming felt anxious and quickly shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Captain, I can't participate in this mission. I just broke through and need to consolidate my strength in seclusion."
"What's the use of seclusion and consolidation? Just after breaking through, you should consolidate your strength in battle," said Zhou Hao, somewhat displeased.
"There are no comfortable hunters on the grassland, only comfortable prey. Zhou Ming, a warrior, cannot shrink back!"
"But hunters also need to rest and recuperate. Hunters who do not conserve their strength will only end up becoming prey," Zhou Ming replied.
"Zhou Ming, the way you speak is an insult to our team's strong relationship!" Zhou Hao said sternly, but seeing Zhou Ming's determined gaze, he knew that Zhou Ming would not change his mind.
"Okay then, our mission will begin in three days. If we can't wait for you by then, we'll go on our own."
After saying this, Zhou Hao did not try to persuade Zhou Ming any further and left without saying anything else.
Watching Zhou Hao leave, Zhou Ming closed the door expressionlessly.
He also knew that refusing Zhou Hao so firmly would surely make him resentful and create a rift between Zhou Ming and the team.
But he didn't have time to waste on hunting missions. With only a few days until the next mission, he had to earn more primeval stones and reward points during this time and improve his strength as much as possible to prepare for the next world mission.
Another day has passed.
Early in the morning, Zhou Ming hurried to the third market.
Compared to the first two markets, this one was further away from the Zhou family's Warm Pool Valley and was more chaotic, with all kinds of people mixed in.
In the past, Zhou Ming wouldn't even come to such a market alone. His cultivation level wasn't that high, and while the possibility of being targeted by others was small, it still existed.
But now, in order to accumulate capital quickly, Zhou Ming was willing to take the risk.
Just like the previous two times, Zhou Ming quickly sold off this batch of goods, and, combined with the primeval stones he had on hand, he had a total of more than 6,400 primeval stones.
After careful selection, Zhou Ming successfully spent all of the more than 6,000 primeval stones to exchange for a total of forty rank 2 gu insects, all of which were consumable gu.
It was not an easy task to gather forty different types of consumable gu at this market. Zhou Ming even ran to several shops and bought a few from several stalls. It took him most of the day to complete this goal.
He still kept a few hundred primeval stones for himself, just in case, without spending all of them.
As the sun began to set, Zhou Ming, filled with a sense of accomplishment, set out on his way back.
"One rank 2 Gu can be exchanged for 440 reward points. With forty of them, it is 17,600, plus the 8,319 I had left over from before, so that's a total of 25,919."
"If I do this kind of business a few more times, I could even upgrade one bloodline to the highest level in one go without any problems."
"I wonder what kind of gu an ultimate bloodline would be refined into in this world. Would it be an immortal gu? There's a high possibility, but it doesn't matter. I don't have any immortal essence, and I can't use an immortal gu anyway... Haha, what a happy problem."
Lost in thought, Zhou Ming laughed to himself.
Just then, a strong sense of crisis surged up in his heart.
