I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 616 - 103: Surprise After Surprise, An Unprecedented Major Update

"Function for the Manor Master's avatar to rent out and forge? The manor's economy has improved, and now you're planning to boost the blacksmith shop's profits?" Ning Zheng smirked.

Seeing his intentions exposed, Daojiu scratched his head sheepishly:

"Everyone else is making money, shouldn't we too? Previously, those few dozens of Magic Coins couldn't keep up with the times."

Ning Zheng pretended to ponder for a while, and then with Daojiu growing more nervous, he slowly said, "I agree!"

In the distance, a few junior blacksmiths were murmuring.

"Have you noticed?"

"Huh?"

"The old steward has started to crack jokes, developed a perverse sense of humor, and even teases Daojiu."

"You don't say, I hadn't noticed. When we first met, he was just a rigid, taciturn old steward. Looks like the AI has been trained by us." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Isn't that right? The planning team is amazing!"

"Whoa! So you were waiting to praise the planning team, and are you sure they're eavesdropping?"

"You don't understand, even if they're not eavesdropping, we can still practice our acting! Previously, we practiced with the No-Life Whale; now, we're practicing with the planning team."

...

Ning Zheng was speechless at their antics from the shadows.

They're training every day now.

Engaging in "sticker battles," performing "emoji skits."

The expressions on their faces change rapidly, like theatrical face changes—shock, laughter, widened pupils, hair standing on end!

Recently.

They've become increasingly bizarre, lacking any semblance of human logic.

Ning Zheng had gotten used to it. If outsiders saw their mutable expressions that looked like ever-changing mud... they'd wet themselves with fear.

Ning Zheng wondered, could this be the result of pseudo-humans impacting their nerves?

Sigh!

At this moment, Daojiu let out a breath of relief and presented a ready-made report: "My lord, please take a look; this is our blacksmith shop's pricing model."

Ning Zheng took the sheet and glanced at Daojiu's application for new blacksmith services.

Daojiu introduced:

"While we can plant Upper Grade Soul Separation Flowers ourselves for everlasting iron forging with Shadow Crocodiles,"

"Our own Shadow Crocodile's strength is ultimately limited—we're merely blacksmiths at the Five-Body Realm Great Perfection."

"However, by renting the Manor Master's Embers Avatar, the strength is greater, the size larger, and the Shadow Crocodile's purity higher. The intensity of forging has increased more than tenfold!"

"I propose a 100 Magic Coins for ten minutes pricing model, with a 10,000 Magic Coins monthly subscription option."

Ning Zheng nodded, quite satisfied.

This pricing model was done well.

Ordinarily, his Manor Master's avatar was also unused, better to use it for revenue and open a second avenue for spending.

And it could be foreseen.

In the future, as the bosses of various Secret Realms in the manor are approached, his Manor Master's interventions will become more infrequent.

"Life is getting better," Ning Zheng sighed.

"All thanks to the meticulous management of the old steward, my lord," Daojiu praised with his big, bright eyes.

Ning Zheng then toured the blacksmith shop.

Noticing they were already experimenting, using the Manor Master's avatar to split into small avatar bubbles for forging.

The once top-tier group of blacksmiths had become Upper Grade blacksmiths. Now with cultivation techniques and the assistance of the Yin Yang Forging Furnace for metal forging and crude embryo refinement,

they'd barely become a pseudo-divine craftsman team, and Daojiu was the leader of these divine craftsmen. Ordinary Divine Weapons and Immortal Weapons posed no challenge now.

Ning Zheng picked up a weapon and examined it for a few minutes. His gaze finally settled on a Magic Coin, "What's this?"

"My lord, this is our new research."

Daojiu glanced at the Magic Coin and said, "A semi-finished product: Money Child + Golden Turtle, it feels like something is missing... Probably that Bronze Statue from Ancient Bronze Town."

"Oh?" Ning Zheng pondered, "This Magic Coin doesn't have a bronze statue, but its completion has improved. It seems like you've added something else?"

"Yes."

Daojiu thought to himself, "We've added something you'd never think of, which enhances the new Magic Coin!"

"What did you add?" Ning Zheng scratched the Magic Coin with his nail, testing its hardness.

Daojiu replied, "In the Magic Coin, we've added Bai Xingling's Dharma Aspect Soul Fragment."

?

Ning Zheng was startled inside.

You guys added all sorts of things? Our enemies are surely fated with bad luck encountering you.

Daojiu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed:

"In our homeland, this is how we do things! Synthesize everything. Just a few days ago, they even attempted to synthesize the poop of Money Child and Expensive Child, fortunately, the Artifact Spirit Night Mad Cultivator in the Yin Yang Synthesis Furnace got so scared it pulled out four tripod legs and broke through the Alchemy Room walls to escape!"

Ning Zheng already pictured that scene in his mind.

But he still opened the forum and found a trending post.

On the post, an Immortal Artifact Square Cauldron was shown pulling out its legs and creating a large hole in a house, which had since been made into a gif emoji.

The gif was captioned with colorful flashing text: [Even if I cultivate the Sixth Body nightly, I can't fit into your perverted circle.]

Quite amusing.

Ning Zheng withdrew his gaze and established a rule, "From now on, no more of these haphazard syntheses. Also, since Night Mad Cultivator's artifact spirit broke the Alchemy Room, have him compensate at its worth."

In the distance, several blacksmiths watched with a look of gloom, as if they'd lost some enjoyment.

Ning Zheng couldn't be bothered with them and instead looked at this Magic Coin, "Bai Xingling, synthesized Magic Coin... this guy, there's an issue."

Beside him, Jiucai Rong jumped out at some point, "It's really problematic! According to the hidden settings, I have to suspect that he's a walking Magic Coin! A large Magic Coin that has gained Essence!"

Ning Zheng couldn't understand.

"That's how the developers are, they love these twists, and when you explore the plot, you might end up with such results." Jiucai Rong "spoiled" it: "Bai Xingling's appearance is definitely no coincidence! Foreshadowing! It's definitely foreshadowing!"

Ning Zheng was speechless.

These know-it-alls, they've figured everything out thoroughly.

Ever since that plot twist went unpredicted by them, they've become paranoid, suffering from PTSD, too easily triggered.

They endlessly outsmart the air, convinced this is definitely a developer's twist, surely a foreshadowing for the next plot!

Jiucai Rong felt his reasoning was logical:

"This guy is rich beyond measure! An absolute VIP pay-to-win player in all the major instances. If we hadn't accidentally synthesized him... we'd never have discovered he's an invisible Qi Fortune Divine Beast."

"This guy's Spiritual Root is very mysterious, and its origin is very ancient, definitely related to Qi Fortune in many ways."

Ning Zheng felt solemnly about it.

This guy, he's the main character in the story, with endless good fortune, likely to find treasure even if he falls into a cave.

No wonder he's so inflated, even his Dharma Aspect is armed to the teeth, not afraid of losing equipment.

But thinking carefully, with the population so large, how can there not be a few chosen ones?

Having several super lucky main characters is quite normal.

The world is vast, and there is no shortage of wonders.

No wonder he repeatedly plundered him... time and again giving him windfalls, now in hindsight, Ning Zheng roughly understood the reason.

1. This guy is relatively weak, only in the Two-Phase Realm, but possesses wealth completely unmatched by his current strength!

So, in the Qi Fortune Value assessment, he is like a soft target... stealing treasures from this weakling has the highest cost-effectiveness.

2. No matter how lucky he is, can he be luckier than Ning Zheng?

Ning Zheng's luck comes from spending Magic Coins; his luck is constant, spending tens of thousands of Qi Fortune Value to instantly steal his magical artifact.

Of course, you look for soft targets.

From this point of view, this guy had issues from the start.

Jiucai Rong, even more mysterious, said: "Look at his name, from the start, it was foreshadowing, details! Bai Xingling, this Qi Fortune Beast... the developers are brilliant!"

Are you also praising the developers' foreshadowing?

Suddenly, Ning Zheng felt even more headache.

So, how did this trend actually emerge?

I just secretly gave you cheats, and you got addicted, praise and urge daily.

Jiucai Rong continued: "My suggestion here is to break through to Magic Copper Town! Bai Xingling, we need to capture him, bleed him dry, use his blood to cultivate his Spiritual Root, and steal his Divine Technique talent."

"Alright!"

Ning Zheng pressed his temples, "This task for forging the Qi Fortune Divine Artifact, you're in charge! Our manor, tasked with forging Immortal Artifacts, can't do without the blueprint for the Qi Fortune Immortal Artifact!"

"Sure thing." Jiucai Rong beamed with glee, still as smart as ever, picking up the task right away.

Mission to capture Bai Xingling, activated!

Then, Ning Zheng couldn't be bothered with them anymore and directly announced: "This time, after taking down Marriage Dress Town, the Lord of the Manor was quite pleased, next, the manor decides to award some prizes, pick three out of these six rewards."

"Great!"

"Manor Master is brilliant!"

"Indeed, the big update, straight to pick three out of six!"

"My dad, the Manor Master, has the potential to be a Great Emperor!"

...

They went into a frenzy of praise.

As part of their acting play, the human-like practice tool, Ning Zheng could no longer bother using the "look at the crazy" eye, directly revealed the six choices and left.

1. 300 blacksmith invitation slots.

2. 300 blacksmith invitation slots.

3. Reset revival Magic Coin limit (starting with ten revival Magic Coins).

4. Each person gets one Upper Grade False Spiritual Root.

5. 10 million Magic Coins available for public procurement resources (can be used to purchase some Divine Beast materials, build new buildings, etc.).

6. Nine-State Square Cauldron mode enabled, blacksmiths can collect [Qi Fortune Value], which allows modification of certain parameters, increases the probability of event success, like entering Enlightenment, accelerating cultivation, forcing Spiritual Root advancement...

Note 1: Because the Manor Master became the Nine-State Cauldron, enabling this mode, and in this mode, a new currency system will emerge, [Qi Fortune Coins], for transactions.

Note 2: Upon completing hidden side quests — Magic Coin's Qi Fortune task, this mode will further update.

"This!! This!!"

Everyone watched wide-eyed, deathly quiet, with a pin-drop silence.

In an instant, they exhibited the extraordinary facial management skills of the shock-nineteen-style.

Suddenly, they resembled a Night Parade of Hundred Demons, each expression fierce.

An unbelievable thought flashed in everyone's mind.

This is...

Planning finally not pretending!

This directly opened the backstage, changing to data mode, right?
