Chapter 25: I hadn't even thanked him yet, so how did he die first?

Lu Yun did not rush to start his shopping spree; instead, he first opened the "Rare Treasure Chest" he had obtained from completing his previous task.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Supernatural Power: Thunder Origin Talisman! Do you wish to extract it?"

Lu Yun was a bit confused. This Thunder Origin Talisman sounded like some kind of Talisman or magic treasure, so why did the system call it a Supernatural Power?

He responded decisively: "Extract!"

"Reward is being extracted..."

Suddenly, Lu Yun felt a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

His perception was far sharper than before, and having awakened his divine sense, he instantly detected a peculiar Talisman appearing within his body.

The Talisman looked like an extremely complex character for "Thunder" and appeared directly in his dantian, instantly causing his magic power to undergo a transformation.

Lu Yun was pleasantly surprised to discover that as long as the magic power within his body passed through the Thunder Origin Talisman, it would gain a lightning attribute! Furthermore, the marvelous uses of the Thunder Origin Talisman surfaced in his mind, leaving him overjoyed.

This was because the Thunder Origin Talisman could actually absorb the power of lightning and convert it into origin power, allowing him to refine it with ease!

"With this, what do I have to fear from the Immortal Ascension Tribulation?"

A brilliant smile appeared on Lu Yun's face.

Thinking that this reward had been triggered by Wen Xingyao in the group, he decisively entered the Chat Group once again.

He prepared to see if he could trigger more tasks before doing his shopping.

Although he still had a few uncompleted tasks, that did not stop him from triggering more! Coincidentally, the moment he opened the Chat Group, he saw a message pop up: "Group member Wen Xingyao has died!"

Lu Yun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he immediately posted in the group.

Lu Yun: "What's the situation? How did Brother Wen Xingyao suddenly die?"

Liu Chongxiao: "Who knows? That guy didn't really pop up much anyway."

Zhou Yu: "Isn't this normal? Twenty percent of the members who joined the group with you have already died!"

Lin Yan: "Shivering in fear! Could I be the next one to die!"

Lu Yun: "That's a real pity; I was originally planning to properly thank him!"

Xiao Ling'er: "You want to thank him? Why would you want to thank him?"

Lu Yun: "Because he gave me quite a few suggestions!"

Seeing this from Lu Yun, everyone in the group suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Because many of them could see that the suggestions Wen Xingyao had given were clearly ill-intentioned, constantly trying to get Lu Yun killed.

It was just that he probably never expected that while Lu Yun was still alive, he himself would die first!

Of course, if he were still alive and knew about this, he would probably be angered to death! Jiang Ye: "@Lu Yun, you didn't actually follow the suggestions he gave, did you?"

Lu Yun: "Of course I did! As long as it's something I can do, I've been very diligent in completing the suggestions everyone in the group gives me. For the ones I can't do for now, I'll find a way to complete them later."

Chen Hai: "You're too willing to listen to advice! Aren't you afraid someone is trying to set you up?"

Lu Yun: "Not at all! The suggestions everyone gives me are very sincere!"

Fang Wenjie: "I remember Wen Xingyao suggested you go to a Demon beast stronghold to kill Demon beasts? And told you to take that member of the Wu Clan with you? Did you really go?" Lu Yun: "I really went! Because there was a Demon beast stronghold near me, I just obtained a lot of high-grade beast bones, and it even earned me quite a few points. That's why I wanted to thank him! I didn't expect that before I could even thank him, he would die. It's truly a pity!"

Lu Yun: "By the way, I also want to thank the other brothers and sisters in the group for their patronage in buying everything I uploaded."

Everyone fell silent once again.

Only then did they realize that the beast bones Lu Yun had just obtained were actually the result of him following Wen Xingyao's advice and taking the newly befriended member of the Wu Clan to a Demon Race stronghold! As a result, he had actually gained huge benefits!

They had all just seen that the total value of the beast bones Lu Yun uploaded was over two hundred thousand points! For most people in the group, that was already a huge fortune!

Thinking that Lu Yun had likely just picked up such a huge fortune by chance, there was no telling how many people in the group were filled with envy and jealousy! Seeing that everyone had suddenly stopped talking, Lu Yun hurriedly changed the subject.

Lu Yun: "However, although I picked up a few beast skeletons at the Demon Race stronghold, I've run into some trouble now. Depressed. jpg"

As soon as these words were said, the group suddenly became active again.

Lin Yan: "You actually run into trouble too? Tell us, tell us, let us feel balanced too!"

Li Pengyu: "I thought you were different from the rest of us newcomers; turns out you run into trouble too!"

Ming Xi: "As expected, the Heavenly Condemnation Halo of the Newbie Period didn't expire, it just arrived a little late?"

Lu Yun couldn't help but scratch his head.

He realized that his development had been too smooth, which seemed to have aroused the resentment of quite a few people.

Come to think of it, if he hadn't activated the Listen-to-Advice System, he would surely be suffering from constant bad luck due to the Heavenly Condemnation Halo, and might even be in mortal danger at any moment.

If one saw someone else having such explosive luck at a time like this, they certainly wouldn't feel comfortable.

Although everyone might not harbor great malice because of this for now, this situation didn't seem too good, did it?

However, Lu Yun thought about it and suddenly shook his head, dismissing the thought.

After all, with the system by his side, he wasn't afraid of people like Wen Xingyao who deliberately caused trouble; what he feared more was people not being willing to give him suggestions.

If he really encountered a particularly difficult suggestion that he couldn't do for the time being, couldn't he just wait until he had the strength to complete it?

Thus, Lu Yun felt relieved and immediately spoke in the group again.

Lu Yun: "Didn't I take that Wu Clan friend to a Demon Race stronghold to grind monsters? It turned out that after arriving, I didn't encounter any danger, but instead stumbled upon several Demon beast skeletons."

Lu Yun: "However, just as we were planning to leave, a group of powerful Demon Race members attacked! Now that Wu Clan friend has asked me to hide for a moment while she goes out to fight the monsters alone."

Lu Yun: "I am very worried about her safety, but my strength is truly too poor to be of any help to her. I don't know what to do now. Can everyone give me some ideas!"

By now, Lu Yun had basically become familiar with the functions of the Chat Group and the system, so he was consciously starting to build his persona.

He wanted to create a persona of someone who was lucky but very reckless and lacked his own opinions, to make it easier for him to continue triggering tasks in the Chat Group in the future.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the enthusiastic group members began offering him suggestions one after another!
