I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 587 - 76: Acupoint Pay-to-Win System

Mountain Residence.

Ning Jiaojiao and Su Yuniang went to the prison.

Ning Zheng, who returned from the mountain, didn't pay attention, nor did he go to the Bone Demon Sect overhead, but instead went home to embroider the "meridian" flowers.

After all, the poison of the meridians is unlike Ning Zheng's Embers poison, which is mindless.

This poison requires learning.

Otherwise, combat power cannot be fully exerted.

Disturbing someone's meridians, how to weave them, how to change the internal pathways, is a profound skill.

One must learn the Silk Thread Puppet Technique.

If possible, even research a Solid Puppet Technique for oneself!

This way, the Dharma Aspect split off would be a solid Dharma Aspect, a puppet doll woven from the meridians, comparable to the giant Dharma Aspect that the Human God once used to conquer the world—the Divine Ape.

All the tricks played by the Human God, I'll copy them one by one!

"Even more, I want to construct a meridian array map within my body..."

Ning Zheng pondered in his heart.

To acquire the powerful abilities of the One Heart Realm in advance, of course, he wants to learn ahead of time.

Moreover.

Then change the opponent's meridians to form a pattern.

And what style of pattern to turn the opponent's meridians into, what effect it has... this is a subject of study.

Imprisonment Divine Map,

Weakening Divine Map,

Control Divine Map,

Just like back in the day, when Xin Xichen, through constant battling, slowly became immobile, obviously it was the Human God's repeated attacks that altered, strengthened his meridians, forming an Imprisonment Map within him.

Strong like Xin Xichen, the second person of the era, was played to the point of immobilization by this old fossil of an era gone by, eventually retreating back to the ancient tomb.

"The other One Heart Realm cultivators need to learn the Amplification Divine Map."

"And I not only have to learn amplification maps but also learn negative effect divine maps."

"The profound meridian Divine Maps should be researched by the various Great Holy Lands, but they wouldn't reveal it. However, Xin Xichen publicly shared a few Basic Divine Maps that I can start learning."

He planned to make a trip to Xinyi State City, attend the auction to purchase related materials.

...

The next morning.

Ning Zheng went to the auction, purchased a few Basic Divine Maps, and the whole process went smoothly, after all, he always had good luck, avoiding those clichéd face-slapping scenes main characters in novels would encounter.

It's just that a single map was shockingly priced at 500,000 Magic Coins, a bit extortionate.

One can only say that High Tier cultivators are always big spenders.

A single Celestial Spirit Root costs tens of millions or even over a billion Magic Coins, and a Divine Weapon likewise costs tens of millions. The market price speaks for itself.

Dragon's Mighty Force Map, power amplification, triple the strength.

Tiger Roar Mountains and Rivers Map, soul amplification, triple the soul power.

Human Path Fire Map, recovery amplification, triple the recovery.

...

Each of them enhances a fundamental value and is extremely powerful!

"And these are just the basics..."

"Meridian-skin circulation is akin to having an additional subsidiary realm, how could it not be strong? The meridians can even extend externally, forming a meridian thread war robe. Transforming into a mighty atavistic Human Ape like the Human God."

He studied for a while, selected a Tiger Roar Mountains and Rivers Map, and began weaving it within his body.

For normal powerhouses, altering meridians can easily cause problems... damage to the body takes several two-hour cycles to recover.

But Ning Zheng, being the Ghost King, wasn't afraid of meridian damage.

Even if mistakes occurred, he wasn't afraid of damage; after studying for several two-hour cycles, Ning Zheng roughly completed the main framework of the first map within his body.

He felt that his aptitude was quite good.

Because after the Ghost King Awakening, upon reforming in a second life, he discovered his various enlightenments and learning abilities had rapidly improved.

"Using a blacksmith's words, this is programming... altering fundamental life codes, one's own circuit pathways..."

The study of meridians is indeed profound and extensive.

Seeing the results, Ning Zheng relaxed in his heart: "The main framework of meridians is the entry level, the next step is the meridian branches..."

He was very satisfied with his combat power enhancement, making him more confident in possessing or ambushing the ancient Embers tomb owners!

"Furthermore, after mastering the Divine Map, I can also provide blacksmiths with an [Meridian Acupoint] skill system, weaving Divine Maps into them, allowing them to enjoy some One Heart Realm powers ahead of time!"

For example, the Meiling Fish character logged in by the Food God already has an Immortal Spirit Root, very strong.

If I then provide him with meridian acupoints, weaving in Divine Maps, it's like giving a permanent positive buff, how delightful!

A Two-Phase Realm Immortal Spirit Root, plus part of a One Heart Realm Divine Map, this combat power is explosive!

Even if he's a useless possession...

This Blank Attribute can still hammer most Two-Phase Realms down!

My Two-Phase Realm troops, each with a wave of blessings, see their strength soar, making it easier to attack the secret realm Embers and possess them!

"Awesome."

He stood up, stretched, feeling the vast, majestic power within his body.

Meridians returning to his control were like liberating hidden life shackles throughout his body, he felt an instant sense of boldness, like he could use a fist to suppress mountains and rivers.

He began opening the forum.

"This [Meridian Acupoint] post, I seem to have seen it on the forum before, it seemed like some blacksmiths mentioned, saying other similar games have this system, known as the bottomless pit of microtransactions..."

"Let me just find that post and take a look."

"Research the meridians, acupoints, how to get those blacksmiths to throw money!"

Now Ning Zheng was already a qualified planner.

Ning Zheng entered the keywords.

Soon enough, posts related to [Meridian Acupoint] appeared, written by the Medical Fairy.

This Medical Fairy always had bizarre ideas, proposing many messy but ultimately discarded medical projects, among them was one about using Blood Separation Flower to modify meridians.

Now it seems, indeed highly bizarre.

The Yang Spirit Roots are all capabilities related to flesh and blood, but meridians are the most mysterious, profound supreme realm within flesh and blood, how could mere Blood Separation Flowers achieve this?

Ning Zheng looked at the information within, contemplated a bit, and quickly came up with a rough plan:

"Set up a project at the clinic, a [Meridian Acupoint] function, let the Medical Fairy learn meridian diagrams, make business with blacksmiths, weaving Divine Maps internally."

"After all, the Medical Fairy never does serious work... those messy things, utterly useless, it's better to open a proper business in the clinic that's beneficial to the estate."

"Throwing her tens of thousands in expensive equipment might finally come in handy."

Give the Medical Fairy an Upper Grade Human God Flower + Upper Grade Pseudo-human Spirit Root, she possesses the Divine Techniques of controlling meridians, and from then on leave meridian embroidery to her.

Her clinic makes money, and our estate takes a 70% cut.

"Moreover, blacksmiths like ceremony... can set up a projection to show them the lit-up meridian map inside their body... light up the main trunk, gain partial power, charge a certain amount, light up surrounding meridians, charge another portion..."

Meridian, acupoint microtransactions are all like this, a bottomless pit.

What?

Why start plucking their money?

Because they have value now!

Previously, how much money could a bunch of Five-Body Realm apprentice blacksmiths give?

Now?

The blacksmiths have grown rich!

Two-Phase Realm, even potentially future One Heart Realm, each one is a Great Cultivator, even if just Blank Attributes waste, they're still strong.

And seeing their nature, in the future they'll possess secret realm master bosses, become a Master of their Secret Realm, possessing Ancient Bronze Town, Yesterday's Forest, becoming their owner... how wealthy is this?

The further they progress, the more money is needed for cultivation.

Ning Zheng's savings clearly aren't enough for the expenditures of a bottomless pit force.

Actually, Ning Zheng is short not of Magic Coins, but of various high-end resources.

Things that can't be bought with Magic Coins alone, high tier cultivators barter instead.

Just like before, when Ning Zheng forged the Sun Moon for Jiu Shui, did they give Magic Coins?

No, it was settled with a large amount of Celestial Spirit Roots.

"Need to set up a proper system to trick them into spending!" Ning Zheng thought to himself.

After observing Jiucai Rong's internship period, now it's time for him to officially take the role, becoming that qualified dog planner in the mouth of the blacksmiths!
