Elder Gu Tianheng of the Tianxuan Sect: ["Hah! Look at you, old man! Flexing with your 500 spirit stones, huh?"]
[Elder Gu Tianheng of the Tianxuan Sect gifted "Sword Storm."]
Li Jiujian of the Infinite Sword Sect: ["Yeah, I’m flexing. What about it?"]
[Li Jiujian of the Infinite Sword Sect gifted "Sword Storm x2."]
...
Watching the barrage of dazzling visual effects flooding the livestream space, Lu Ze couldn’t suppress the grin on his face.
"Sword Storm" was currently the most expensive gift in the livestream, costing 500 spirit stones.
He had anticipated that "Three Kingdoms Kill" would be a hit among the elders, but he hadn’t expected it to be this addictive.
They were even willing to splurge on gifts just to get a chance to play a few rounds.
The livestream gifts were purchased using contribution points earned within their respective sects.
1 contribution point could be exchanged for 10 spirit stones, meaning a single "Sword Storm" required 50 contribution points.
Though these elders weren’t members of the Lingxiao Sect, given their connections, it wasn’t hard for them to exchange points through acquaintances among the Lingxiao Sect’s elders or stewards.
Cultivators in this world had never encountered anything like this before.
The livestream chat erupted in awe.
["What is this? It looks so cool!"]
["Livestream gifts? Donations? This is something entirely new!"]
["500 spirit stones… That’s my monthly allowance…"]
["Is 'Three Kingdoms Kill' really that fun?"]
["Duh! You think the elders would sit here all afternoon if it wasn’t?"]
["You brat!! When’s the livestream ending? I want to play too!!"]
...
The eight players at the table paused their game, all staring in amusement at the gift effects.
"These livestream gifts sure have flashy effects, huh?" Zhong Yi remarked, impressed.
Zhao Wendao turned to Lu Ze with a puzzled look. "You went all out on gift effects, but the general skills are so plain?"
"General skill effects? Oh, they’re coming! And they’ll be even more spectacular than the gift effects, I promise!" Lu Ze replied with a sly smile.
General skill effects?
Of course they’d have them!
How else could he milk their wallets?
With the illusionary techniques at his disposal, the possibilities for visual flair were endless.
Just projecting the original artwork of the "Three Kingdoms Kill" generals as spectral figures behind the players would be a breathtaking sight.
Zhao Wendao nodded in satisfaction. "Good. That’s what I wanted to hear."
Lu Ze grinned. "You can rest assured."
The eight resumed their game.
Meanwhile, the livestream was flooded with more and more gifts.
All kinds of donations poured in, big and small.
["Junior Brother Lu, can I join in and try it out?"]
["When will these illusion crystals go on sale?"]
["I’m dying of envy over here!"]
["Will the Tianxuan Sect get access too?"]
["If not, can someone just make a physical card version to tide us over?"]
["Nah, without the effects and voice lines, it won’t feel the same."]
["Hurry up and release it! I can’t wait!"]
["Junior Brother Lu’s fame has spread across the five major sects. Will the illusion crystals get more expensive now?"]
["I’d buy it even for 100 spirit stones!"]
...
Seeing the flood of questions, Lu Ze quickly addressed them.
"Don’t worry, fellow cultivators. The 'Three Kingdoms Kill' illusion crystals will be available for purchase very soon."
"As for the price… rest assured, it’ll remain the same—10 spirit stones per crystal."
The chat exploded instantly.
["What?! Still just 10 spirit stones?"]
["That barely covers the cost… he might even be losing money!"]
["Junior Brother Lu is a saint!!!"]
["So generous… unbelievably generous!!"]
["Damn it, why aren’t I a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect?"]
["Is it too late to switch sects now?"]
["Young friend, you truly disregard wealth like dirt? Such virtue! I must gift you something!"]
["Count me in!"]
["Me too!"]
...
[Elder Gu Tianheng of the Tianxuan Sect gifted "Sword Storm!"]
[Li Jiujian of the Infinite Sword Sect gifted "Sword Storm!"]
["Pill-Loving Lamb Meat" gifted "Blazing Inferno!"]
...
For a moment, the screen was ablaze with dazzling gift effects.
Lu Ze almost felt guilty.
But then again, he wasn’t lying to them.
He had promised the illusion crystals wouldn’t increase in price—and they hadn’t.
It’s just that the game would have… optional in-game purchases.
Noticing the escalating hype, Lu Ze swiftly changed the subject.
"Disciples of other sects can also experience the illusion… but without the Lingxiao Sect’s soul resonance array, the full experience won’t be available."
"New generals and card packs will be released in the future. Stay tuned!"
...
...
That evening.
The "Three Kingdoms Kill" illusion crystals went on sale.
The Artifact Pavilion was instantly swarmed, its popularity surpassing even that of "Immortal Realm Domination."
The afternoon’s livestream had been a resounding success.
Even without the internet, word of mouth among cultivators had spread like wildfire.
Elders and powerful figures from other sects even personally visited the Lingxiao Sect to purchase "Three Kingdoms Kill."
Nangong Yuan was basking in the glory.
A crowd of elders and experts fawned over him, begging for favors to skip the line and buy the game.
He had never felt so important in his life.
In high spirits, Nangong Yuan designed a spell and tool for Lu Ze to automate the sale of illusion crystals, solving the crowding issue instantly.
This old man’s artifact-crafting skills are no joke… I’ve gotta find a way to learn them later!
Lu Ze quietly schemed about how to "borrow" some of Nangong Yuan’s techniques in the future.
"Oh, right, Master. Didn’t you owe me a magical artifact?"
Lu Ze suddenly remembered something important.
Before Nangong Yuan had returned to the sect, they’d made a bet.
If Lu Ze won the sect contract against Ding Mingcang, Nangong Yuan would gift him a treasure.
"Of course I remember."
Nangong Yuan generously produced a radiant, multicolored gourd from his palm and tossed it to Lu Ze.
This was Nangong Yuan’s personal storage artifact for rare items—a clear sign he was serious.
"Go ahead. Pick whatever you want."
"I want… an artifact that can conceal my aura."
Lu Ze didn’t hesitate.
Without questioning his motives, Nangong Yuan’s divine sense locked onto an item, which he then tossed into Lu Ze’s hand.
"Here—the 'Veil of Heavenly Obscurity.' It can mask even a Nascent Soul cultivator’s presence. Should be more than enough for your needs."
Lu Ze blinked.
He’d already prepared an elaborate excuse, but Nangong Yuan had trusted him without reservation.
"Many thanks, Master!"
Lu Ze accepted the artifact and bowed deeply.
Today, thanks to the collective efforts of the elders, his "Demonic Path Value" had finally reached the threshold.
He was ready to break through to the Golden Core realm.
[P.S.: Not feeling well. The last chapter will be written tomorrow. Can’t keep going tonight.]
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
