Chapter 228 Harvesting Reward Points!
Upon hearing that Cheng Xiao was born into a family of military doctors, possessed innate internal strength, had been cultivating for over a decade, and had recently switched to true cultivation, learning the Golden Light Mantra and possessing considerable combat power, Zheng Zha and the others were overjoyed.
Doesn't this mean they've suddenly gained a seasoned combatant, greatly increasing their chances of annihilating the Indian team?
"Great! The Indian team also has eight veterans, which means they don't have any veterans whose strength far surpasses ours. Now that we have an extra combatant, our team battle win rate can reach at least 70%!"
Xiao Honglu was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that after getting two amazing scriptures for free, he would also get a powerful combatant for free. It was as if the heavens were helping them.
Hearing Xiao Honglu's words, Zheng Zha and the others felt a little embarrassed. After Lin Yu's reminder, they were certain that the team's chances of winning the battle were 99%. The only uncertainty was how many casualties there would be.
Hearing Xiao Honglu say there's a 70% chance of winning is naturally a bit awkward.
Seeing the strange expressions on Zheng Zha and the others' faces, Xiao Honglu asked with some doubt, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with what I said?"
""
Zheng Zha first glanced at Lin Yu, and seeing Lin Yu nod, he then explained the situation.
"Actually, the main god's evaluation is determined based on reward points and side quests. Lin Yu is a weapon refiner who can refine up to C-grade equipment. We all bought several C-grade equipment from Lin Yu, so our strength is far greater than the evaluation suggests!"
Upon hearing Zheng Zha's words, Xiao Honglu fell silent.
After all that, it turned out his analysis was wrong, yet he kept seriously analyzing the winning rate. This clownish behavior dealt a significant blow to Xiao Honglu!
"Xiao Honglu, your analytical skills are actually quite good, but you're lacking crucial information."
Seeing that Xiao Honglu looked quite devastated, Zheng Zha quickly comforted him.
Lin Yu said he wanted to test and hone Xiao Honglu, so he wouldn't tell him the truth yet. Zheng Zha didn't object to Lin Yu's idea, but he also felt that Xiao Honglu was already quite good and shouldn't be criticized too much. He should still be praised, after all, he was just a child.
Xiao Honglu listened to Zheng Zha's words of comfort but didn't react much; his face still looked terrible.
He certainly understood that he was just missing crucial information, but he didn't ask the members of the Central Continent team for details. Instead, he analyzed things based on his own assumptions, which was the real reason for his mistake. So the problem still lay with him.
Moreover, how could he not guess Lin Yu's thoughts? But clearly, his performance was very poor.
"Cheng Xiao, these are two C-grade equipment pieces, one offensive and one defensive. They can greatly enhance your combat power and survivability. Each piece is worth 3,000 reward points. Return them to me after we return to the Main God Space, is that alright?"
Lin Yu ignored Xiao Honglu and instead took out a ring and a longsword, handing them to Cheng Xiao.
If Xiao Honglu can't even handle this kind of setback, then what kind of wise man is he!
"no problem!"
Cheng Xiao happily accepted the two pieces of equipment and began to try them out. He didn't care that it would cost 6000 reward points.
Given the circumstances of this horror movie, if you survive, the reward points you receive will definitely far exceed 6000 points, so there's no need to worry about not being able to pay them back.
As for whether 6000 points is expensive for two C-grade equipment pieces, he doesn't care at all. He understands why desert water is expensive. If he can't survive this horror movie, everything else is meaningless. Besides, based on the information he has, this price doesn't seem expensive.
Defeating the terrifying monster Imhotep only rewards each member of the team with a D-rank side quest, so you can imagine how precious a C-rank side quest is.
The veteran players' expressions changed upon hearing the price. Frankly, it wasn't expensive; a C-level side quest was far more valuable than a thousand or two thousand reward points. However, compared to the price Lin Yu had offered them, 30...
A reward of 00 points is a bit excessive.
However, the veterans were also clear about Lin Yu's purpose: to obtain the reward points from the newcomers in a reasonable way.
Even Zheng Zha wouldn't say much about this. It's good to make use of a newcomer like the bald giant, but newcomers like Cheng Xiao and Xiao Honglu who will become team members can't be treated the same. Of course, it's not something to talk about now.
Cheng Xiao received the two pieces of equipment and began to try them out. Sometimes he would create a protective shield around himself, and other times he would unleash a blade of true qi, leaving a deep cut on the wall, which made the other newcomers extremely envious.
"Brother Lin, do you still have this kind of equipment? Can we buy it too?"
When actress Qin Zhuiyu saw the effect of the equipment, her eyes lit up immediately, and she walked to Lin Yu's side and asked him in a sweet voice.
The other newcomers also looked at Lin Yu expectantly. From the locusts before to the scarabs just now, they deeply felt the danger of this horror movie and felt extremely insecure, so they really wanted Lin Yu's equipment.
"Yes, we do have some, but the question is, why should I sell it to you?"
"Cheng Xiao possesses immense power, giving him a relatively high survival rate. You are just ordinary newcomers with an extremely high mortality rate. Wouldn't I be at a huge loss if you died?"
Lin Yu remained calm, unmoved by Qin Zhuiyu's display of charm, as if he had no intention of selling them the equipment. This embarrassed Qin Zhuiyu, who inwardly cursed Lin Yu for his lack of tact.
"We can offer double the price, so even if only half of us survive, you won't lose money."
The bespectacled man, Gao Hongliang, was a bit clever. He guessed from Lin Yu's lack of immediate refusal that Lin Yu wasn't unwilling to sell, so he immediately raised the price.
Qin Zhuiyu felt that double the price was too high and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. The reward points might be important, but her life was more important.
"That's a good idea. Do any of you have any objections?"
Lin Yu nodded in agreement with Gao Hongliang's suggestion, and then asked for the opinions of the other newcomers.
Whether it was Qin Zhuiyu, the bald giant, or Xiao Honglu, they all immediately expressed that they had no objections, but what they really thought was another matter.
So Lin Yu took out eight more C-grade magic artifacts and distributed them to everyone. The newcomers felt much more at ease after receiving the artifacts. Although the price they paid was huge, as long as they could survive, it was not a problem.
"Although double the price is a bit expensive, I'm only doing this to protect my own interests. If you can become official members of the Central Continent Team, I can refund the extra reward points to you."
Seeing the newcomers receiving their equipment, Lin Yu started making grand promises.
After all, only by making newcomers less resistant can we better empty their reward points.
Although the breeding team's approach could be used to more easily deplete their reward points, the other members of the Central Continent team would definitely not accept this approach, so Lin Yu could only try to make the newcomers willing.
