Chapter 71

[[[cp|w:141|h:182|a:l]]] It's the third watch of the night! I present this to you all! I need your support and encouragement! This is a QR code, thank you all for your rewards!

Lin Qing turned to KG and Hook and ordered, "You two, end your mission early and come with me!"

He was afraid these two might cause trouble, endangering Li Meilin and her daughter.

Adventurers must always be on guard.

KG, now only half alive, was eager to return to the space to repair his body and naturally nodded in agreement. Hook, though reluctant and muttering, "We'll have to pay a penalty for not completing the mission," did not dare to argue further in the face of Lin Qing's stern expression and nodded in agreement.

Lin Qing turned to Yin Wufu and Yin Wulü and shouted, "You two, stay on Mount Emei during this time. Master Jingxu, please watch these two fickle fellows closely. If they make any moves, kill them without mercy!"

Master Miaojue gave Yin Wufu a cold glance. Though her martial arts were ruined, her killing intent remained.

Yin Wufu broke into a sweat, knowing that Master Miaojue did not hesitate to kill evildoers. He bowed and said, "The Ming Cult and the Heavenly Eagle Sect have both been defeated by our master. How dare we harbor any thoughts of rebellion? Master, please go ahead. We will await your return to explore the headquarters of the Heavenly Eagle Sect."

Lin Qing nodded and decided to leave.

Zhou Zhiruo seemed to know where Lin Qing was going. She forced her beautiful eyes open and smiled apologetically, "It's all my fault. I was careless and was poisoned by the enemy. I'm sorry for making you return early to treat me."

Lin Qing smiled.

He received a prompt: "You have abandoned a promising adventure and returned early to the space to treat Zhou Zhiruo and remove the poison. Zhou Zhiruo feels your concern and her affection towards you has increased by 10 points. Her affection towards you has reached 100 points. She has developed a fondness for you."

"You made a wise choice."

"Please continue to cultivate Zhou Zhiruo's affection, skills, and equipment. The feelings of the female lead are far from useless. The higher her skill level and the better her equipment, the stronger her combat ability. The higher her affection towards you, the more proactive she will be in battle. In the future, when her affection reaches its maximum, a unique combination skill will appear, with even greater power."

Lin Qing smiled bitterly.

He arrived at the exit of the plot instance.

The exit was a large room. As Lin Qing stood in the center of the room, numerous scenes from this world flashed through his mind. His first battle, outwitting Yin Wufu and his companions, tricking the Green-Winged Bat King, killing Yin Yewang, gathering the tokens of the sect leader, debating with the scholars, entering the secret passage of Bright Peak, standing up to save the six major sects, using the momentum to lure the monsters and block the Ming Cult's pursuers, using Cheng Kun's explosives to blow up Bright Peak and the Ming Cult, and finally, Master Miaojue entrusting the Emei Sect, Zhou Zhiruo, and the Heaven Sword to him...

Many thrilling scenes flashed through Lin Qing's mind like a movie.

But the final scene was of Lin Qing facing off against Zhang Wuji, proudly crushing the invincible and arrogant protagonist's aura, which shattered like fragments of the Milky Way, being swallowed by Lin Qing's domineering and cunning aura!

Clearly, this was what the space considered Lin Qing's most impressive and influential move in this adventure world!

"The strange animal on my chest, which looks like a horse, an owl, and a monster, is actually so highly regarded by the space?" Lin Qing realized.

He speculated that the things he had obtained, such as the Heaven Sword, the Nine Yang Manual, Zhou Zhiruo, the sect leader's token, and the Emei Sect's ring, were all overshadowed by this strange creature in the space. How incredible must this thing be?

He checked the space and found that the creature was still asleep, curled up in a ball, snoring loudly. He shrugged helplessly.

Eating and sleeping, truly beyond redemption.

Lin Qing received a prompt from the space.

"Plot summary and reward distribution will now begin."

"This is a beginner world! Rewards are increased by 25%."

"The difficulty of this world is D-level. Standard attribute reward points are 2."

"World exploration rate: 8.5%, no reward."

"Inner world exploration rate: 5%, one hidden instance completed, reward increased by 50%."

"World achievement: White Path reputation reached the achievement [Master of the Martial World], Ming Cult enmity reached the achievement [Mortal Enemies], reward increased by 50%."

"Plot deviation: 50%, additional reward of 50%."

"Mainline tasks and three fragment tasks completed, each with a 25% reward increase."

"Team tasks: None."

"Total reward ratio: 300%."

"Total reward points: Standard attribute reward points multiplied by the reward ratio, 6 points."

"You have obtained 6 attribute points."

"Completed the purple rare task [Miaojue's Last Wish], completion rate 200%. Based on task difficulty, the adjustment factor is 2. Reward: 2 points."

"Completed the orange continuous task [Destruction of the Ming Cult], completion rate 140%. Based on task reward, the adjustment factor is 1.4. Reward: 1.4 points."

"Total attribute points obtained: 9.4 points, rounded down to 9 points."

"You have obtained 9 attribute points. You can freely distribute them among the six attributes."

"9 points, that's quite a lot!" Lin Qing sighed. "But the reward dimensions are many, including world exploration rate, plot deviation, mainline tasks, special task completion, and team tasks. The rewards are then multiplied based on the world's difficulty. This beginner world benefited greatly from my leveraging the situation and significantly changing the world. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to receive such high rewards."

He didn't have time to think about how to allocate the 9 points and immediately asked the space, "How can I treat Zhou Zhiruo?"

"After examination, Zhou Zhiruo is a unique plot female lead belonging to you."

"She will no longer appear in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

"Since only you can bring plot female leads out of the world, this is the first time such a situation has been encountered."

"Calculating..."

"The space has determined that Zhou Zhiruo should be treated as a special adventurer."

"She can be treated and the poison removed, but it will cost 2000 supply points."

Lin Qing was taken aback.

"Supply points?"

"I only have 2700 fortune points. Where can I get so many supply points?"

"After examination, you have 2845 supply points, which is enough to cover Zhou Zhiruo's medical expenses."

Lin Qing was overjoyed. After checking, he realized that 50% of the supply points from killing adventurers automatically go to his account. No wonder the Hong Gang members were all vying for the final blow.

Lin Qing indeed couldn't get supply points from completing tasks, but he could get them from trading and killing!

He had killed the Red Flower Twin Sticks' killer, the surgeon, who seemed to be a wealthy member of the team.

Lin Qing's guess was correct.

Just like in the real world, where doctors have high status and income, in a world where daily struggles, bloodshed, and death are common, the status of a surgeon in a team is even higher!

Think about it, treating Zhou Zhiruo costs 2000 supply points! Where would ordinary adventurers, who live on the edge of life and death, get so much money?

What do they do when they need medical treatment?

They seek help from the medical adventurers in their team, who at least charge a price they can afford.

Why does the surgeon have so many treasures, from medical monitoring devices to deep blue weapons?

The Hong Gang is a large team, and the number of patients seeking treatment and detoxification from him every day is more than a large hospital in the real world!

How could he not become rich?

From this, Lin Qing saw the value of life skills in this space.

Opportunities abound everywhere.

Don't forget, Lin Qing also has a high-level [Ancient Knowledge] skill, which is also a life skill.

In the future...

Lin Qing smiled and paid 2000 supply points.

A beam of light descended upon Zhou Zhiruo.

The space, as rumored, is all-powerful, as long as you have enough supply points.

Zhou Zhiruo's complexion turned rosy.

The intense poison in her body was removed by the space—without the need for surgery.

Zhou Zhiruo took a deep breath, opened her beautiful eyes, and gazed at Lin Qing.

With a beautiful woman by his side, gazing at him with deep affection, Lin Qing had never felt the world to be so beautiful.

At least, in his previous real world, he had never received the favor of such a beautiful and extraordinary woman.
