Chapter 92 Rest Area? The Argumentation Area!
Falling spring cold.
Zhong Ming stroked his chin. What a great name. He probably couldn't have come up with such a name in his entire life.
It's a water-attribute weapon, leaning towards ice. If you really have any questions, you can consult Instructor Xueyan. It's just that the "Spring and Autumn Hook and Sickle Spear Technique" recommended by its creator is a bit expensive.
This gun, combined with the marksmanship, earns 500 military merit points.
It's a bit over budget, but I still really want it.
Saving money on escape methods and protective armor doesn't seem like a good idea.
With a heavy heart and gritted teeth, I decided to replace it; at worst, I'd just get a substandard suit of armor.
Regularly polish and refine the armor.
Switching to the leg techniques, movement techniques, and escape techniques section, Zhong Ming finally chose the "Flowing Cloud Movement Technique," a technique that allows for both fighting and running. It was decent, and the price was also decent: one hundred military merit points.
The final suit of armor is always quite expensive.
Everyone values their life, especially on the battlefield where wearing an extra layer of armor can increase the chances of survival.
Zhong Ming deduced that Xuan Jing was able to survive the formation set up by Fu Yinshan, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he must have been wearing more than one layer of armor. Moreover, he must have also affixed relevant reinforcing runes.
Despite his outermost armor being covered in explosive runes, he's more afraid of dying than anyone else.
I have 100 military merit points left. Should I consider getting two sets of low-quality armor together?
As soon as the button to activate the armor was pressed, Zhong Ming's mouth gaped open so wide that even an egg couldn't shut him up.
"How much? A thousand military merit points? Have you no shame?"
The full armor strategy was completely out of the question. Zhong Ming flipped through the pages and realized that even buying a full set of armor was difficult.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and decided to forgo the protection on my limbs!
I bought a vest from the defective goods section.
This is an ordinary low-grade spiritual artifact that failed to be crafted and dropped to the grade of a mid-grade magic artifact. It was made from the shell of a juvenile Northern Xuan Turtle. The failure to craft the arm armor, leg armor, and helmet probably made the crafter quite embarrassed. Only the boots with cold and heat resistance were given away as a bonus. A total of ninety-nine military merit points were awarded.
This big shopping spree broke his heart. The items included "Sword Drawing Technique", "Qi Cultivation Method", "Sword Control Technique", "Flowing Cloud Body Technique", "Spring and Autumn Hook and Sickle Spear Technique", a vest and boots with no name at all, and a hook and sickle spear: Late Spring Cold.
Those 860 military merit points have slipped away like a dream.
Looking at the eleven military merit points in his account, Zhong Ming suddenly realized something.
Oh my god, I forgot to buy my usual elixirs. Elixirs are definitely not cheap.
......
Well, let's just take it one step at a time. As for functional items like animal repellent incense or deodorizers, we'll take advantage of any freebies we can get from the instructors.
He took the check to the counter, where a refined-looking monk exchanged it for a large pile of treasures, all of which were conveniently located in the outpost's warehouse.
After picking up his things, he should have gone back to cultivate, but the atmosphere in the camp was just... oppressive.
Zhong Ming also needed to relieve his inner turmoil, not because of any post-war syndrome, but because he realized that he couldn't do anything about it.
He was bad with words, unable to comfort his comrades, and lacked medical skills to cure them.
He arrived at the only rest area in the military camp, which was more like an argument... or rather, a debate area.
"Hello, a second-class seat requires one military merit point. The seating time is unlimited, as long as you don't leave the second-class rest area." The sweet older sister said gently, and Zhong Ming lost one military merit point.
By the time he realized what was happening, he was already sitting in his seat.
'Spellcasting, it must be spellcasting! How could I waste my military merit points on just one sentence? Did she spray some kind of sleeping potion on me?' Zhong Ming thought viciously. It couldn't possibly be because he was lustful. The beautiful Xue was right on top of him and he remained unmoved... How could someone who remained unmoved be lustful?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it. After three seconds, Zhong Ming accepted reality and slumped into his seat.
Don't tell me, it's quite comfortable.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for a place where he could recoup his losses.
Yes, found it. Free food and tea.
If I don't eat my money's worth today, I'm not a Mr. Zhong!
Second-class seats wouldn't offer any food rich in spiritual energy; it would only provide mortal fare. A spirit stone in the mortal world would be at least a rare and precious jade, enough to exchange for countless amounts of food.
Zhong Ming carried the plate and built a food castle, then returned to his seat and began to devour it.
It wasn't exactly pure consumption; some things were even stuffed directly into the storage stone dentures, and nobody noticed anyway.
No administrator would be stingy with even the food of ordinary people. Nobody cared at all; they could pack as much as they wanted. The only problem was that Zhong Ming didn't know they didn't care and hid it secretly.
While we were eating, the two people behind me started arguing.
The issue being argued about was particularly "high-level".
The question of how much spiritual energy there is in the world.
One person insisted that countless powerful beings, possessing vast amounts of spiritual energy, ascended to the upper realm, taking all the spiritual energy of this realm with them. As a result, the spiritual energy in the world is dwindling, and each generation is weaker than the last.
Another person strongly refuted this, saying that spirit stones are constantly being mined, absorbed, and depleted in this world. Over the years, the spiritual energy contained in countless spirit stones underground has been absorbed, refined, and dispersed into the world, making it a time of abundant spiritual energy.
Have you ever seen anyone create spirit stones and stuff them back underground?
Zhong Ming devoured half of the "castle" amidst their argument. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder, startling him. He thought he had been caught stealing.
His mouth was completely covered, and when he turned his head, he saw two soldiers staring intently at him.
"Young friend, you be the judge, who is right and who is wrong between us?"
"Mmm~" (mouth full of food)
Zhong Ming was confused. Was everyone so outgoing and familiar with each other?
He quickly realized that this was the purpose of this place.
Cultivators usually stay in seclusion to cultivate when they have nothing else to do. They come here to chat, and since I'm sitting here, the entire second-class seating area is like a huge chat room.
He swallowed his food with difficulty and said weakly, "I used to be a miner, and I think the mining argument makes sense. With so many mines mining, there should be more spiritual energy than the few ascended beings who bring. How about we compare the number of great cultivators in the past with the number now to make a judgment?"
The two agreed, and then began arguing about the true number of high-level cultivators...
Zhong Ming was speechless for a moment. So this was the argument zone?
But one thing they mentioned brought him back to reality from his pleasant rest.
"No, you're still missing two Grand Cultivators. The Twin Dragons Moving Water event is just a few days away, and they'll most likely succeed. That means we'll need to add two more Nascent Soul stage Grand Cultivators."
Yes, the time for the two dragons to emerge from the water is approaching.
