Seeing Flourishing Flowers generously collecting Contribution Points, some players with leftover points were also tempted. Now that Junlin had lowered his price, they were waiting for wealthy players like Flourishing Flowers. In no time, quite a few players approached Flourishing Flowers.
Who would want to give up the chance to make money?
"0.111111111? I still have Twenty-Three Points, do you want them?"
"Those three thieving merchants bought them from me for Fifty Points and are now selling them to others for a Hundred?"
"Sorry, I feel completely ripped off. I've already taken note of those three."
"May those thieving merchants die a horrible death!"
...
In just a short while, Flourishing Flowers had already collected 530 Contribution Points.
Is it difficult to catch up with the players ahead?
A veteran player glanced at Flourishing Flowers and whispered some advice, "If you want to catch up with Junlin, it's best to start with Internal Energy. He's the only player who has trained in it so far, and he also obtained the first weapon in this game!"
"The first weapon?" Flourishing Flowers looked at the veteran player with some surprise.
"The Black Dragon Dagger, the one Abbess dropped."
The veteran player chuckled. "Abbess possesses the talent of a European Emperor and is on good terms with Junlin and his team. You see that guy who looks honest and unassuming? He's sure to drop good equipment in the future. It would be best for you to make your move and build a good relationship with him now."
The competition among the rich is always the most exciting to watch.
Clearly, Flourishing Flowers wanted to contend for the title of Top Player.
But it seemed Junlin wasn't willing to give up either.
When these two wealthy individuals got together and started spending money, it would all come down to who had more.
Flourishing Flowers and his team were still unknown quantities, being new players.
But everyone knew Junlin; he was a genuine Rich Second Generation, the type who wasn't short of money.
As for the title of Top Player, others might as well forget it.
The real spectacle was watching these two wealthy bosses compete.
Following the advice of some veteran players, Flourishing Flowers also chose the Internal Energy path.
After browsing the Martial Arts Manuals in the Contribution Hall, he didn't rush to buy any but continued to collect Contribution Points instead.
This also motivated ninety percent of the players.
Only a fool would turn down a chance to make money.
Right now, Contribution Points were priced at 0.111111111, but who could say if that would remain the same in the future?
「Elsewhere.」
Junlin and his team headed straight to the Martial Arts Stage.
As famous players, they naturally attracted a lot of attention from other gamers.
"Junlin and his team are going to challenge Self-Created Martial Arts."
"That gameplay is a trap. Anyone who tries it is a fool; it's impossible to succeed even with all the money in the world!"
"Well, it also depends on who's doing it. Abbess is with Junlin and his team, so it's likely Abbess who will attempt to create a Martial Arts Manual."
"Holy shit, is the European Emperor starting his challenge?"
...
Abbess, Don't Love Me immediately bought Ten Low-Level Manuals.
To be on the safe side, he didn't opt for combining three or five but started with ten at once.
One Hundred Contribution Points were enough for him to attempt it ten times.
If a Secret Manual of Ultimate Techniques emerged from those ten attempts, he would make a massive profit.
Seeing Abbess, Don't Love Me go for the ten-at-once method, many players felt a pang of dismay.
Ten Contribution Points! That was worth 1,000 RMB!
If this went down the drain, wouldn't it be heart-wrenching?
"It's starting!"
Abbess, Don't Love Me placed the Ten Low-Level Manuals on the Martial Arts Stage one by one, then sat cross-legged on the stage and closed his eyes, entering meditation.
The ten manuals stirred without any wind, their pages beginning to flip automatically.
WHOOSH—
Soon, the first manual finished and then turned to ash, vanishing.
Then the second, the third…
After all ten manuals had turned to ash, a brand-new, untitled Martial Arts Manual materialized in front of Abbess, Don't Love Me.
The first thing to catch the eye was the dazzling golden light, as if the Martial Arts Manual was declaring its extraordinary nature to everyone.
"Holy crap, no way? It's gold?"
"Abbess really has the luck of a European Emperor, striking gold on the first try! If that's not an Ultimate Technique, I'll eat my hat!"
"Why is there such a huge gap between people?"
"Thinking about my experience of exchanging ten for one, and then looking at someone else cashing in ten for ten thousand... I'm crying…"
...
Seeing the golden light emerge, Junlin and his team also clenched their fists nervously. Many players had tried the Martial Arts Stage and knew just how much of a gamble it was. But now, with Abbess, Don't Love Me striking gold directly, how could they not be thrilled? This spectacle would likely drive many players to splurge their Contribution Points.
Abbess, Don't Love Me let out a slow breath, picked up the manual in front of him, and stood up. After briefly understanding its contents, he frowned.
It wasn't suitable for him! To be precise, it wasn't suitable for anyone wanting to pursue a long-range combat path.
[Name: None.]
[Type: Martial Arts Manual.]
[Quality: Extreme·Ultimate Technique.]
[Trait: Circulate internal energy to break through the body's eight major meridian limitations, greatly enhancing speed and strength. Each meridian breakthrough damages the surrounding acupoints. This continues until the Ren and Du meridians are completely ruptured, unleashing ultimate power! Disregards realm differences—even Grandmasters will perish!]
[Reminder: This martial art has significant side effects. After unleashing ultimate power, death is certain.]
[Note: When ultimate power is unleashed, even gods bow down!]
Reading the introduction to this unnamed martial art, Abbess, Don't Love Me couldn't help but breathe more heavily.
This was simply the Ultimate Technique that every melee player dreamed of.
And according to the description, it seemed that among all the current players, only one person was suitable for practicing it.
Evil Queen Morgana!
The brash and bullish path he had chosen was perfect for this Martial Arts Manual!
"How is it? Is it an Ultimate Technique?" Junlin asked eagerly.
It had to be suitable for him. It absolutely must be!
"Mission accomplished. It's a Close Combat Ultimate Skill."
Abbess, Don't Love Me handed the Secret Manual of Ultimate Techniques to Junlin, saying, "You guys pooled the money for this; you should name it."
Looking at the introduction of the Secret Manual of Ultimate Techniques in his hands, Junlin's entire body trembled.
Disregard realm status! Does that mean if I practice this martial art, even a Ninth Grade realm player could pin the Sect Leader to the ground and beat him ruthlessly?
Xu Nian was taken aback. This kid's got some dangerous thoughts.
"Damn, an Ultimate Technique really appeared? Abbess is too badass!"
"I beg you, Abbess, get me an Ultimate Technique! The price is negotiable!"
"Is this Ultimate Technique for sale? If a few of us pool our money, we should be able to afford it."
"Forget it. Junlin will definitely take this Ultimate Technique. After all, he and his team worked with Abbess to get it this time."
...
A self-created Ultimate Technique.
And it was the one most suitable for melee players.
The most daunting part was the quality of this martial art; there was an 'Extreme' prefix before 'Ultimate Technique'.
Did that mean this was the most powerful Ultimate Technique among all Ultimate Techniques?
Morgana took it, glanced at it, and then exclaimed, "Isn't this just the Eight Gates Escape Armor? Holy shit, a Martial Arts Version of the Eight Gates Escape Armor! Chakra turned into internal energy... this thing is tailor-made for me!"
As a gamer and an otaku, series like *Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece* were naturally indispensable.
And in the world of Naruto, if you were to rank the most popular characters, Emperor Kai would definitely be in the top three.
Didn't Emperor Kai nearly end the series by Opening the Eight Gates?
If a player learned this, saved up enough Contribution Points, and went straight to Opening the Eight Gates, they could probably kick His Majesty to death in public in the Imperial Palace!
Anyway, you just resurrect after dying, right? That's the player's advantage—Reincarnation!
