Chapter 53

Returning to the main god space, Li Wucheng appeared in his own villa. After adapting to the sudden change in the environment, he began to check his gains.

In the Book and Sword world, Li Wucheng earned a considerable number of main god points, totaling more than five thousand. Apart from the three thousand points from completing two tasks, he earned another two thousand points.

In addition to the main god points, Li Wucheng also obtained some martial arts manuals and various other items, all from opening treasure chests.

In the final battle, with the Ningshi Sword in hand, Li Wucheng fought through the thousands of soldiers, though he did not complete the hundred-man kill, he did manage to kill over twenty people.

Unfortunately, it was too rushed at the time, and he didn't have the time to pick up all the treasure chests. Thinking about it now, he still felt a bit regretful.

The method Li Wucheng set for gaining benefits in the main god space, apart from a few tasks, was mainly through treasure chests. Even if each chest didn't yield much, the cumulative effect of dozens of chests was still significant.

In a plot world, the drop rate would be higher at the beginning, but as more enemies were killed, the drop rate would gradually decrease.

Therefore, the number of martial arts manuals he obtained was not very high. However, selecting one boxing technique and one leg technique was still feasible.

The manuals dropped by nameless soldiers were very basic martial arts manuals, belonging to the category of unnamed manuals. While their power might not be great, they were good for building a foundation.

Although five thousand main god points seemed like a lot, they were actually far from enough. Just to bring out the Ningshi Sword and the short sword given by Huo Qingtong, he spent two thousand five hundred main god points.

In the plot world, items not obtained from treasure chests needed to be brought into the main god space by spending main god points. The Ningshi Sword cost one thousand main god points, and the short sword cost one thousand five hundred main god points.

"The next world, I need to earn more main god points. I haven't done anything yet, and my main god points are already gone."

Sighing, Li Wucheng muttered to himself.

Through the spatial mark, he opened the main god space's trading system. The system store already listed a series of items, including various martial arts manuals, weapons, and other items.

In the martial arts manual section, Li Wucheng saw techniques like the Hundred Flowers Mistaken Fist, the Seventy-Two Moves of the Soul-Stealing Sword, and the Linked Shadow Leg, all of which required a significant number of main god points, measured in the tens of thousands.

Even the basic unnamed martial arts manuals cost three thousand main god points each, and it would take at least one or two plot worlds to gather enough.

In the weapons section, various categories of the eighteen weapons were listed, along with various hidden weapons and crossbows. Li Wucheng also saw the Ningshi Sword.

As a sharp and precious sword, the Ningshi Sword's price was not low, costing ten thousand main god points to purchase. However, he did not find the short sword after flipping through the list.

As for the other items in the store, there was a True Qi Pill that amazed Li Wucheng. Taking one pill could increase one's internal strength by one year, and with a hundred or so pills, one could have a hundred years of cultivation.

However, the price of the True Qi Pill was even higher, costing thirty thousand main god points per pill. Li Wucheng could only sigh at the sight of it.

After browsing the system store, Li Wucheng didn't buy anything. With just two thousand main god points, he couldn't even make a ripple in the store.

Closing the system store, Li Wucheng headed to the Skill Hall located in the central district of the main city. Inside, a spacious hall was filled with floating light balls.

There were hundreds of these densely packed light balls. Li Wucheng walked up and extended his hand, pressing it against one of the light balls, remaining motionless.

His consciousness seemed to detach from his body, and before his eyes, his attribute panel appeared. It didn't show attributes like strength, intelligence, or agility, only internal strength and various martial arts techniques.

The few martial arts techniques Li Wucheng knew, such as the unnamed sword, boxing, and leg techniques, were all first-stage martial arts. The Wu Liang Sword Technique was a second-stage martial art, while the Lingbo Microstep and the Beiming Divine Skill were fifth-stage martial arts.

Each martial art was divided into ten levels based on the practitioner's proficiency. Level ten was the perfect realm, which could be achieved through self-enlightenment or by spending main god points.

Of the few martial arts Li Wucheng knew, only his understanding of the Lingbo Microstep was slightly deeper, nearing level one. The others were still at level zero.

His purpose in coming to the Skill Hall was to upgrade the Wu Liang Sword Technique to level two. As his only relatively advanced offensive martial art, it would be crucial in the upcoming plot world, so it needed to be upgraded urgently.

He spent two thousand main god points to upgrade the Wu Liang Sword Technique to level one. To upgrade it to level two, he would need another four thousand main god points, and so on, with the upgrade from level nine to the perfect realm costing twenty thousand main god points.

From this, it was clear that the upgrade cost for second-stage martial arts was based on two thousand main god points, and the costs for other stages were similarly proportional.

After spending all his main god points, leaving only a few dozen, Li Wucheng left the main god space and returned to reality.

As soon as he returned, he heard the "bang, bang" sound of someone pounding on the door of his rental house, along with many people speaking loudly.

"Boss, it looks like the kid isn't home. What should we do?"

"Yeah, if we can't complete the task, that old guy won't give us the rest of the money."

"Maybe we should withdraw and come back tomorrow."

The noise indicated that there were quite a few people.

Then a brazen voice said, "Get lost, why withdraw? The person may not be here, but the house is. Break the door, smash the place up, and then go back to that old guy for the money. As for what happens next, whether we beat the kid or not, depends on whether he's willing to pay."

"Right, I didn't think of that. This way, we can get paid twice."

"Still, the boss is smart, making decisions from afar."

"Spit, isn't that obvious? If the boss wasn't smart, could he be the boss?"

The sound of horses and the crowd grew louder, and the "boss" said, "Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and break the door down."

The sound of pounding turned into the sound of ramming.

"What are you doing? Why are you breaking down my door?"

Just as Li Wucheng was about to open the door to deal with the situation, a somewhat familiar voice sounded.

"Boss, the main guy is back. What should we do? Should we let him go and come back tomorrow?"

One person asked.

"Slap!" The "boss" slapped the person and said angrily, "Are you brainless? If he's back, beat him up. No need to be polite."

"Right, beat him up!"

"The boss said, don't be polite. Brothers, hit him hard."

"Damn him."

Then, the sounds of punches and kicks and piercing screams could be heard.
