Chapter 4: One-Stop Whale Stat Rerolling
Golden light flickered as a passionate, stirring BGM rang out and echoed beside his ears.
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for recruiting a fifth-tier Legendary Famous General, Ma Chao! Recruit?
As the notification sounded beside his ears, Xiao Wen listened to the system prompt echoing around him, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Ma Chao?
It finally worked!
Brother, we really do have enough fate between us.
In my previous life, you died for me.
In this life, the very first general I recruit is still you.
Recruit!
Xiao Wen chose to recruit him without the slightest hesitation.
A massive light formation gathered before his eyes, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky.
This pillar of light became extraordinarily dazzling, visible to more than half the people in the Western Liang faction.
At the same time, a row of dazzling gilded words flashed across the Western Liang faction’s chat channel:
A Famous General Becomes Legendary, the First Fifth-Tier Appears!
Only eight words.
But when those eight words appeared, it was no different from dropping a deep-water bomb.
In an instant, countless players were shocked.
[Young Ox-Horse]: Holy crap! I just entered the game, what the hell happened? Golden light everywhere, a famous general becoming legendary?
[Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles]: Fifth-tier? Holy crap! Are fifth-tiers this easy to pull these days? How come I spent three hundred thousand and the best I got was only a third-tier?
[Muscle Golden Wheel]: Uh... suddenly, the fourth-tier in my hands doesn’t feel so good anymore. I still have a million left. I’m going all in for a fifth-tier! Charge!
[Squeeze Your Tire Flat]: Damn it! Trash game. I burned one hundred and fifty thousand ingots and got nothing. Forget it, I’ll just use a third-tier general. I can still slaughter everything anyway.
[Feng Xiao Yi Han Xi]: Cough cough... Brothers, friendly reminder, save some ingots. The game recharge system has collapsed. You can’t recharge now, and there are still plenty of places to spend ingots later.
[Feng Xiao Yi Han Xi]: This game has refreshed my understanding of spending money. Heh...
[Yang Wei Is Not Impotent]: I think I smell the sourness of lemons coming from a fourth-tier big shot.
[Detective Corgi]: Self-mockery from a zero-spending player. One thousand silver, and it got scraped clean the moment I entered the game! Trash game. I firmly resolve to be a zero-spending player and fleece the game company instead.
...
Xiao Wen looked at the messages flashing through the faction channel and chuckled softly.
A fifth-tier legend?
This was only the beginning.
Xiao Wen silently glanced at the number of ingots he had spent.
A fifth-tier appeared after just one million.
It seemed his luck in this life was pretty good.
He had drawn a fifth-tier much faster than he had back then.
Watching the golden light before him grow increasingly intense, the smile on Xiao Wen’s face became thicker as well.
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for successfully recruiting a fifth-tier general and unlocking the Fifth-Tier Divine General achievement. Reward: Random Weapon Draw attempt x1.
[Random Weapon Draw]
Quality: Profound-Tier, Earth-Tier, Heaven-Tier
Initial random points: 1
Notice: You may spend 1000 ingots each time to reset random points.
Notice: Draw now?
The voice sounded beside his ears. Xiao Wen looked at the random draw pool system, his expression calm and completely unmoved.
Tsk...
This kind of black-hearted money-grubbing system actually made this young master feel a little nostalgic.
Wasn’t it just spending money?
This young master only needed to spend hard!
Spending money didn’t necessarily make someone stronger, but not spending money definitely wouldn’t let anyone become the strongest.
So...
Draw!
The thought flashed through Xiao Wen’s mind.
Since summoning the fifth-tier general still required some time, he simply began the weapon draw.
An illusory roulette mirror appeared before Xiao Wen. Then he tapped draw, and the roulette wheel and pointer almost began spinning at the same time.
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for drawing the Earth-Tier weapon Flowing Water Saber!
Earth-Tier?
Trying to send off a beggar?
Redraw!
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for drawing the Earth-Tier weapon Hundred-Soul Seizing Needle.
Redraw!
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for drawing the Profound-Tier weapon Blazing Green Edge Sword.
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for drawing the Earth-Tier weapon Twin-Winged Exquisite Battle-Axe.
...
After countless draws, Xiao Wen felt his clicking finger begin to twitch.
Suddenly, the roulette wheel and pointer before him slowly stopped, erupting with a burst of platinum light.
Ding! Congratulations to player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World for drawing the Heaven-Tier weapon — Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear!
As the notification rang beside his ears, Xiao Wen stared at the long spear floating before him and instantly fell silent.
Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear!
It was actually one of the Heavenly Dao weapon set pieces that had already been lost in his previous life.
Looks like this young master’s luck in this life really isn’t bad.
Xiao Wen muttered to himself, then silently glanced at the more than fifteen million ingots he had spent, not taking it to heart at all.
One step fast meant every step fast. If he didn’t invest during the early stage, how could he grow quickly later?
As for those players shouting in the game channel about how scummy the game was?
Whether it was scummy or not, this daddy didn’t know.
In any case, I have plenty of money, so I don’t care about this little investment.
This daddy only knew one thing: if they couldn’t bear to spend now, then once the virtual world merged with reality later, those people would cry themselves to death!
In that era, money was not omnipotent. A bigger fist was the true hard truth.
Ding! Player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World has drawn the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear. Confirm?
Confirm!
Immediately afterward, golden light erupted and stood side by side with the golden pillar summoning the general. It was only thinner and weaker, its sharpness overshadowed by the golden light of the Heaven-Tier general’s summoning.
Several seconds later, the golden light in the sky vanished in a flash. Inside Xiao Wen’s spatial backpack, a golden long spear lay quietly.
[Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear]
Status: Sealed
Type: Growth-Type Weapon
Grade: Heaven-Tier
Attributes: ??? (Determined by the holder’s potential)
Skills: ??? (Activated according to the holder’s talent)
Overview: According to legend, this is one piece of a supreme-grade set and possesses mysterious power.
Xiao Wen looked at the weapon’s attributes, his expression calm.
This description was indeed almost identical to the legends from his previous life.
After sighing emotionally for a moment, the pillar of light summoning the general before Xiao Wen also gradually weakened, and an illusory figure appeared in front of him.
Ding! Legendary Famous General Ma Chao successfully summoned. Current initial three-dimensional stat points: 35/50 (current value/full value). Gifted Marrow Cleansing Pill x1. Reset talent?
Friendly reminder: Marrow Cleansing Pills cost 200 ingots each and may be purchased repeatedly with no usage limit. Starting with full talent may bring unexpected rewards!
Two notifications rang out beside Xiao Wen’s ears.
Looking at the two lines of text floating above the illusory figure, Xiao Wen remained expressionless.
Heh!
Same old trick!
More spending money!
This daddy had already experienced it in his previous life.
Otherwise, why did people in his previous life jokingly call this scam of a game the Bank of Heaven and Earth?
In other games, you were recharging money.
In this game...
Sorry, you were burning money!
And it was the kind where burning money didn’t necessarily produce results!
Of course, for this daddy at the current stage, if money was burned, then it would definitely work.
If it didn’t work, then this daddy definitely hadn’t burned enough!
So...
Cleanse marrow!
Recharge!
Cleanse marrow...
Cleanse marrow...
Ding! Congratulations, player. Marrow cleansing successful. Ma Chao’s talent has been reset. Initial three-dimensional stat points: 50/50 (full). Do you wish to cleanse marrow again?
When the notification sounded, Xiao Wen, who had already entered an almost crazed state, nearly reached out by instinct to tap yes.
However, he finally reacted in time and slammed the brakes.
Damn it!
When it came to scamming people, you bastards were still the best!
This daddy was almost fooled!
No!
Ding! Would you like to generate the general character now?
Yes!
Following Xiao Wen’s choice, heaven and earth roared. The long-lost BGM sounded again, and golden light burst forth, brilliant and dazzling.
