Chapter 24 – Guardian Package
Chapter 24 – Guardian Package
"Is there no other way to obtain a Spiritual Root?"
Does this battle order really have to be opened?
Does Chen Huaian's money grow on trees?
Faced with Chen Huaian's frustration and confusion, a system girlfriend shop popped up on the screen.
The first thing that caught his eye was the golden, glittering Xuan Water Spiritual Root, priced at 19.99 million yuan. This superior type of Five Elements Spiritual Root was the cheapest, with even more outrageously priced roots listed below, the zeros trailing longer than his lifespan.
Ordinary Spiritual Roots were not available.
This shop only sold superior ones.
The key issue was that this Xuan Water Spiritual Root was still locked, and Li Qingran had to reach the Elemental Infant Realm to unlock the purchase rights.
This was insane.
If he had 19.99 million, wouldn't it be better to treat his cancer?
Once cured, he could enjoy life lying down for the rest of his days.
So, this game never intended for him to obtain a Spiritual Root through such a purchase!
"Heh, what's there to say?"
Chen Huaian let out a bitter laugh.
Thinking that this damn game at least accidentally unlocked his Gene Lock.
So, top up!
Another large sum vanished from his EasyPay account.
Chen Huaian collapsed onto the sofa, the overwhelming emptiness hitting him harder than the post-sage mode, and lasting even longer.
"Meow..."
A weak cat's meow came through.
Chen Huaian sprang up like a carp and rushed to the shoebox.
"Hey, little Nibby is quite resilient!"
Compared to its earlier pitiful state, the little black cat seemed much better now, at least able to move inside the shoebox. Though its wounds still looked severe, upon closer inspection, they seemed to have healed a bit since the bath.
"I, Chen, am truly a genius."
This time, Chen Huaian spoke with certainty.
But he quickly shook his head, smiling self-deprecatingly, "Too bad I don't have long to live."@@@@
He didn't notice the little black cat staring intently at his neck, a flash of murderous red gleaming in its dark eyes.
[Eat... eat him...]
[Eat him, and the wounds will heal...]
[A mere bird, not enough to eat...]
"What are you staring at?"
Chen Huaian and the little black cat locked eyes.
Noticing Chen Huaian's gaze, the little black cat's fierce eyes softened, its previously vertical pupils becoming round, and it let out a soft 'meow.'
"Still not feeling well?" Chen Huaian rubbed his chin, "How about this..."
He turned around, exposing his back without any defense.
[Opportunity!]
The black cat arched its back, ready to pounce.
Its fur bristled, eyes filled with killing intent.
However, in the next second, the man suddenly turned,
Holding a set of silver needles in his left hand,
And pinching its nape with his right.
The black cat's eyes widened in shock!
[Damn... what did this damned human do? Why, why can't I move... this weak body, move for me ahhhhhh!]
"I only pricked you once before, now let me reinforce it!" Chen Huaian placed the little black cat on the sofa, wrapped it casually in a towel, and began to apply the needles.

How was that different from destroying someone else's property?
Fortunately, he didn't see that rogue disclaimer when entering the game—"The final interpretation right of the game belongs to this game company."
Meanwhile, in the phone, changes occurred around Li Qingran.
The curtains stopped swaying, the dust around the small room settled, and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations stabilized. Chen Huaian saw golden, plant-like sprouts emerging from the girl's side, their growth area expanding, gradually spreading throughout the room, and buds began to form on the sprouts—it seemed something extraordinary was about to be born!
[Li Qingran is entering the final stage of new Dantian formation, a Grade One Dantian easily attracts prying eyes from all directions, would you like to top up 88¥ to protect Li Qingran?]
"A new pay-to-win trick?" Chen Huaian smirked disdainfully.
If he didn't choose, Li Qingran's Dantian restoration would surely fail, and some old monster would pop up out of nowhere to snatch her Dantian... As for whether it could be snatched? The game was developed by them, how the incident was scripted was just a matter of their programming.
Fortunately, 88¥ wasn't much, so Chen Huaian topped up directly.
[Please choose your protection form:
100,888¥ per time.
58,888¥ per time.
38,888¥ per time.
35,888¥ per time, includes a set of Little Zhuxian Sword Array, a set of Basalt Array, 7 Nine Suns Five Thunder Talismans.
18,888¥ per time, includes a set of Thunder Lock Dragon Trapping Array, 1 Nine Suns Five Thunder Talisman.
1,888¥ per time, includes a set of Sky-Piercing Sword Array, 10 Immortal Grade Five Thunder Talismans.
188¥ per time, includes a set of Thunderfire Burning Heaven Array, 10 Immortal Grade Thunderfire Talismans, 1 Nine Suns Purple Thunder Talisman.
(All above are limited-time offers, only once, hurry to buy~♥)]
After reading through the packages, Chen Huaian's mouth twitched.
He was too naive.
88 yuan was just the key to unlocking the spending spree.
Without paying that 88 yuan, he wouldn't even qualify to spend!
Now that he paid the 88 yuan, would he spend or not?
Fortunately, the additional items weren't too outrageous, the packages offered here were surely the standard to help Li Qingran through this tribulation, buying the expensive ones was just for the rich to show off. He could even predict that if the game officially launched, when players reached this stage, the rich would enjoy full-screen special effects, and other players on the map and their corresponding virtual girlfriends would see it, drooling with envy, while most ordinary players would choose the basic protection package with no special effects.
Choosing this package wouldn't affect the game progress.
Chen Huaian considered himself not a fool, so he chose the basic protection package.
Strangely enough, he, who thought 15 yuan for a takeaway was expensive, now found the 188¥ package quite reasonable?
And this was just the limited-time offer price, how much would it cost originally? Pay-to-win games were truly terrifying!
[Deploying Basic Protection Package!]
Chen Huaian saw a lightning-flashing array quickly form with Li Qingran's small room as the center, covering an area of a hundred meters, then it disappeared.
At the same time, 10 Immortal Grade Thunderfire Talismans were pasted around the small room, and inside the room, on the table in front of Li Qingran, a large talisman glowing with purple lightning, covered with mysterious twists and turns, as long as an adult's arm—the Nine Suns Purple Thunder Talisman.
"Next must be the monster siege, right?"
Chen Huaian crossed his arms, already knowing the game's progression like the back of his hand.
At this moment, Li Qingran's Dantian reconstruction had entered the final stage, with the progress bar reaching 90%.
...
Azure Cloud Realm, Evergreen Mountain.
A barren rocky ridge with no vegetation.
In a pitch-black deep pool hidden by towering peaks,
A pair of evil eyes suddenly opened.
"So fragrant! Such a fragrant scent!"
"This, this scent is of a Dantian, a Superior Grade Dantian! Unbelievable, in this era, there's actually a peerless genius condensing a Superior Grade Dantian!"
"Jie jie jie! Heaven helps me! Truly, heaven helps me!!!"
