Chapter 159
Although the computer was sold for 18,000 spirit stones, it still did not stop the enthusiasm of the cultivators on Tianyuan Continent. In less than half a day, more than 200,000 units were sold in Jujing City alone.
All cities combined, the number of buyers exceeded 3 million, this is because there were too many people queuing, and the price of the computer was too high.
Some cultivators with low strength and young age simply cannot afford to buy a computer of their own.
For example, Li Yu, as a new disciple of Jujing Sect, he is just 16 years old this year. A year ago, he passed the entrance test of Jujing City and became an inner disciple of Jujing Sect.
Although he has outstanding qualifications and a single earth spirit root, he is a mortal after all. He has only saved a few hundred spirit stones in one year. Faced with the price of 18,000 for the computer, he is simply unable to afford it.
At this moment, his fellow disciples are in the same situation as him.
In the courtyard of the inner disciples of the Giant Whale Sect, more than a dozen inner disciples of the same age as Li Yu were gathered together. In front of them was a pile of scattered spirit stones, which they had gathered to buy computers. But even if everyone took out all their spirit stones, it was still far from the number of 18,000.
Just when everyone looked sad, a big-headed disciple suddenly said:
"Li Yu, why don't we deliver food? I heard that you can earn more than ten spirit stones for delivering a takeaway. If we work harder, we can earn hundreds of spirit stones a day."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the Giant Whale Sect disciples present suddenly lit up.
"Really? Is it true that delivering food is so profitable?"
"Of course. I have an elder who was a casual cultivator before. I heard that he went to Ele.me for food delivery two days ago. Sometimes he can earn more than 20 spirit stones for one order. After running for a day and a night, he earns more than he used to earn in a month. The most important thing is that it is safe."
"In the past, in order to earn some spirit stones, he either went to dangerous places or fought with monsters. Now he doesn't need to do that at all. He just needs to deliver the food on time."
At this time, another disciple also spoke up.
"No, I asked. There are cultivation level restrictions for food delivery. People like us in the Qi Refining Stage are too slow to fly swords, so we can only take short-distance orders. In addition, we need to buy special delivery boxes and standard flying swords before delivering food."
"If you ask me, let's be extras. I heard that Sihai Film and Television has two new TV series to start filming. One is called The Legend of Sword and Fairy and the other is called The Journey of Flower. They are now recruiting extras. If you are selected, you can get at least 50 spirit stones for one day. If you perform well and are noticed by the director, you may become a big star. If you really become a big star, I will quit the sect."
"Come on, extras don't have dramas to shoot every day, and you still want to be a big star. Star, you are dreaming."
"Why don't we write novels? Isn't the author of Rebirth as an Immortal Emperor also a sect disciple? I heard that he made tens of millions of spirit stones from the royalties and copyright fees."
"Not right, not right. It's better to shoot short videos and be a host than to write novels."
"I heard that the construction site of the Civil Engineering Sect is recruiting part-time disciples recently. You can earn dozens of spirit stones a day. They want those who can use earth, wood, gold, and water spells."
"I heard that being a security guard is also very profitable, and it's also leisurely..."
.......
For a moment, this group of inner disciples of the Giant Whale Sect thought about all the ways to earn spirit stones, but only Li Yu said nothing.
When everyone had almost finished discussing, Li Yu spoke:
"All the methods you mentioned can indeed earn spiritual stones, but have you ever thought about a problem, that is, we don't have that much time. In addition to the necessary practice every day, we have to listen to the lectures of several elders, plus some sect tasks, so there is not much time to spend freely in a day."
As soon as this was said, the people who were just excited fell silent immediately.
After a long time, a disciple said cautiously:
"Why don't we quit the sect? I always thought that joining the sect was the only way out. Now I think there are actually many choices if we don't join the sect. We are still young, and it's not a loss even if we disperse our skills and start over. Anyway, as long as you have spiritual stones, you can buy any kind of skills."
"Quit the sect!"
Hearing these two words, the eyes of the group of young disciples who had just entered the sect for a year lit up instantly.
As the disciple just said, they used to only think about practice, practice was their only goal, and becoming a high-ranking great cultivator was their ultimate ideal, but now it's different.
Become an internet celebrity, a blogger, a live streamer, a novelist, an extra, a professional gamer, a delivery man, a security guard,Working as a plasterer at a construction site or as a waiter in a restaurant, either of these can support oneself and make oneself live comfortably.
They had to admit that they were tempted at this moment, even Li Yu was tempted, but he soon shook his head.
"No!"
As soon as Li Yu finished saying these two words, the other disciples beside him all looked over.
"Brother Li Yu, have you developed feelings for the sect? Yes, the sect has been very kind to us, and it is indeed a bit heartless for us to say that we are leaving the sect now." As they spoke, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
But Li Yu's next sentence made their expressions stagnate.
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that we don't have any savings on hand now. It is irrational to blindly leave the sect. My suggestion is to consider this matter after we have a certain amount of savings."
"And our top priority now is how to play Black Myth Wukong. Judging from our current situation, buying a computer is definitely unrealistic, but fortunately we have another way."
"What way?" More than a dozen heads came to Li Yu at the same time.
"Bypass the sect protection formation and go to the Internet cafe in Giant Whale City!" Li Yu said word by word.
"When?"
"Tonight!"
......
A few hours later, night officially fell. As a major sect in the Northern Territory, the Giant Whale Sect, like other sects, fully opened the sect protection formation. On the one hand, it was to prevent attacks from sea beasts in the sea, and on the other hand, it was to prevent spies from the demon sect from sneaking into the sect.
If you want to enter and exit the sect protection formation freely, you can either go through the mountain gate with a token specially approved by the elders, or you can only open a temporary passage through the waist badge of the patrolling disciples.
Apart from these two methods, even a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage can't break the sect protection formation.
However, at this time, in a pile of rocks outside the Giant Whale Sect, more than a dozen disciples wearing Giant Whale Sect's standard long gowns were hiding behind stones, and the leader was Li Yu.
At this moment, he was holding a compass-shaped magic weapon in his hand, staring at the needle on the compass. After a moment, his eyes lit up, and then he pointed to an old tree not far ahead and said:
"That's the place. Everyone dig a hole under the big tree, we can bypass the sect protection formation and go straight to the Giant Whale City!"
As soon as the voice fell, all the Giant Whale Sect disciples present rushed forward.
Ten minutes later, they passed through the loopholes in the sect protection formation and escaped from the Giant Whale Sect under the cover of night.
