Chapter 39: The Function of Points

Inside the chat group.

【System Notification: Brother Xiao Yan has turned off the group livestream!】

【Hearing Pang Bo: Brother Xiao Yan, you didn't pull off that act very well; you should have said a few more words!】

【Yue Buqun: The price Nalan Yanran paid was indeed a bit light, especially given such an important occasion...】

【Brother Xiao Yan: I just felt it was a bit boring; sometimes being too calculating isn't very meaningful!】

【Hearing Pang Bo: With you acting like this now, could it be that you have feelings for Nalan Yanran?】

【Brother Xiao Yan: How is that possible? I am completely devoted to Xun'er right now!】

【Hearing Pang Bo: Then you're giving up Yun Yun, Little Medical Immortal, and Queen Medusa? That's one thing, but you're not even keeping Xiao Xiao, such a lovely daughter?】

【Brother Xiao Yan: This... I suddenly remembered I have some matters to attend to, so I'll log off first!】

Just as the few were chatting in the group, a series of notification sounds rang out again inside the chat group.

【System Notification: Detected increased activity within the chat group; the chat group is beginning to upgrade!】

【System Notification: Detected that all group members contributed to the chat group upgrade; everyone will receive certain rewards next.】

【System Notification: Chat group update completed; the following functions have been added...】

【System Notification: Chat group private chat function enabled!】

【System Notification: Chat group inter-realm travel channel enabled!】

【System Notification: Chat group Dao-comprehension support function enabled!】

Five consecutive system messages directly interrupted Hearing Pang Bo's teasing of Brother Xiao Yan, and even Brother Xiao Yan, who was preparing to log off to avoid the teasing, stopped.

【Hearing Pang Bo: Wow, how did the chat group upgrade so quickly again? But I only received 1231 points!】

【Yue Buqun: I only have 1227 points as well!】

【Han Li: I only received a reward of 1032 points!】

Looking at the chat records of everyone inside the chat group, Lu Qingshan discovered that besides gaining 3106 points, he also acquired a permission to prohibit others from private chatting.

【Cao Cao: After this chat group upgrade, several new functions have been added; I wonder what use they will be?】

【Brother Xiao Yan: That's simple; private chat means two people can chat alone, and others cannot see it! As for the other two...】

【Hearing Pang Bo: Damn, the inter-realm travel channel is finally here; we can finally go for a spin in other worlds.】

Seeing Hearing Pang Bo's words, Lu Qingshan also quickly clicked on the several new functions that had just appeared in the chat group...

Private chat needed no further explanation, while the inter-realm travel channel allowed group members to travel to the worlds where other members resided, provided they obtained the other party's consent in advance; furthermore, the other party could request the inter-realm traveler to leave at any time. Besides this, the stronger the inter-realm traveler's power and the more items they carried, the more points were required;

As for the final Dao-comprehension support function, it allowed group members to enter a deep state of enlightenment while cultivating, temporarily boosting their comprehension and cultivation speed. However, the points consumed were the highest, and the higher the user's realm, the more points were required!

【Hearing Pang Bo: Wow, this inter-realm travel channel is way too expensive! I just entered the Shore Beyond Realm, and even without carrying anything, it costs 100 points to cross realms once!】

【Cao Cao: That just proves your strength is great, Hearing Pang Bo. I only need 15 points for one travel now; I must be the weakest in the chat group, right?】

【Brother Xiao Yan: @Cao Cao, I only need 18 points now; it seems our strengths are about the same!】

【Yue Buqun: I just researched this; if we want to go to other worlds, we can spend some points to have the chat group seal away part of our strength. This way, the points required when using the inter-realm travel channel will be much lower!】

【Han Li: The points needed for the inter-realm travel channel are relatively few; this Dao-comprehension support function is the most scammy! I just cultivated to the early Foundation Establishment stage; using the inter-realm travel channel only costs 80 points, but to use the Dao-comprehension support function, I need a full ten times that amount!】

Lu Qingshan ignored the people in the chat area and instead focused his gaze directly on the Dao-comprehension support function within the chat group.

After all, for him, the importance of the other functions was far inferior to that of the Dao-comprehension support function!

【System Notification: Because you are the group owner, you enjoy a twenty-percent discount when using the Dao-comprehension support function. Based on your current realm, using the Dao-comprehension support function once requires 80,000 points!】

【System Notification: Beep! Your point balance is insufficient; you cannot use the Dao-comprehension support function. Please work hard to accumulate points!】

"This..."

Looking at the system notification before him, Lu Qingshan felt quite speechless in his heart: "It actually takes eighty thousand points to use the Dao-comprehension support function?"

He should know that he had only received a few thousand points as rewards from the chat area so far. Adding the points transferred to him by Cao Cao and Brother Xiao Yan previously, plus the points from other members in the chat group who purchased the secret techniques he uploaded to the chat group shop, his total points added up to just over ten thousand!

Yet using the Dao-comprehension support function once required eighty thousand points? And that was after a twenty-percent discount!

"It seems I must work hard to accumulate points from now on!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Fortunately, as the group owner, my speed of accumulating points will surely far exceed that of others. Moreover, I can use resources to exchange for points from others; I believe I will be able to accumulate enough points very soon!"

While Lu Qingshan was thinking, the others in the chat area also began their own attempts.

【Hearing Pang Bo: Wow, the effect of the Dao-comprehension support function is simply too powerful! I obtained a precious secret technique earlier and cultivated it for a long time without being able to enter the door. I just used the Dao-comprehension support function once, and that secret technique was instantly completely mastered by me!】

After seeing Hearing Pang Bo's words, Han Li inside the Huangfeng Valley and Yue Buqun in the Martial World also tried the Dao-comprehension support function within the chat group one after another.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm from the Douluo Continent held an indifferent attitude; after all, he had already become Huo Yuhao's soul ring, so something like Dao-comprehension was simply too far away for him.

As for Cao Cao and Brother Xiao Yan, since they had already transferred all the points in their hands to Lu Qingshan earlier, they only had the newly obtained one thousand-plus points left, so they did not immediately activate the Dao-comprehension function for the time being.

However, neither of them felt the slightest regret; after all, the help Lu Qingshan had given them previously was far greater than the value of those points in their hands.

Brother Xiao Yan had already learned from Yao Chen how precious that Chaos Source Fruit was, while Cao Cao, at this moment, felt even happier in his heart.

He should know that up until now, Cao Cao had always been the one receiving help within the chat area.

Although the other group members were now willing to give him a hand, he had never felt this was taken for granted. Moreover, he understood in his heart that as the members within the chat group increased, such unconditional help would surely become less and less.

But now, with the importance of points rising, it made him feel a sense of relief in his heart.

Looking at the 1123 points he had just obtained, Cao Cao could not help but show a slight smile on his face.

【System Notification: Cao Cao transferred 1000 points to Lu Qingshan.】

【Cao Cao: Group owner, thank you for helping me collect so much grain previously. These points are for you; I hope you do not dislike them!】

Wutan City, Xiao Family.

Brother Xiao Yan, who had just returned to his room, saw the message in the chat group and acted quickly.

【System Notification: Brother Xiao Yan transferred 1000 points to Lu Qingshan.】

【Brother Xiao Yan: Group owner, I am also giving you my points; I hope you do not think they are too few!】
