Fire Monster

Chapter 264: Durability of the Hack

Now that things have come to this, if Zhao Guanshan still doesn't understand, then he would be really stupid.

He immediately knelt down with a plop, "Please, ancestor, save me!"

Mei Xun sat on the fourth stone platform and looked at Zhao Guanshan with disgust.

"It's hopeless. May the best for you."

"Ancestor, I was wrong."

"It's no use being wrong. After all, I was a beauty in the world of immortal cultivation, a descendant of a famous family. Your Zhao family's ancestor, Zhao Fengxiao, was just a small and declining immortal cultivator. Why should I fall in love with him? Why is there so many beautiful women around him? Why can he do things that others can't do? Why can he rise all the way to the top and become a great immortal? Do you think it's because he is too talented, has too much potential, or is it because his family is rich enough?"

"It's just that he reached some kind of immortal agreement with the Lihuo Immortal, so he got the Lihuo Secret Key, and then he started a legendary journey. But guess what? Even so, he was ultimately unable to break through to the Great Vehicle Golden Immortal and enjoy a lifespan of 100,000 years. Humph, I was so infatuated with him back then. I heard that he became possessed and died, and I even went out to avenge him. Not only did I lose my body and a lifetime of cultivation, but I also ended up like this, neither a ghost nor a human."

"To be honest, if Zhao Fengxiao was still alive, I would want to strangle him to death! Love and hate are just passing clouds, they are all passing clouds!"

Mei Xun's words made Zhao Guanshan break out in a cold sweat.

"Hehe, now you are scared, don't worry, it's not that serious, at most you will die. And if you give up the path of a Qi Refiner, you can become a national teacher. If you manage it well, you can get 500 years of life for free. To be fair, living 500 years longer, isn't that great?"

At this point, Mei Xun carefully observed Zhao Guanshan for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed, "Wait, this is not right, you are different from Zhao Fengxiao, your life fire sign is too wrong, how is it possible?"

After that, she stood up again, walked around Zhao Guanshan several times, and finally sat down again with a frown on her face. After a moment of looking strange, she spoke, "I said too much just now, can I take it back?"

What is this word?

You are the ancestor, you are the boss.

"You are different from Zhao Fengxiao. I studied his life fire in the past, and I have been studying it for thousands of years. The life fire of my eldest son, eldest grandson, and great-grandson are all completely different from yours. To be precise, their life fire can be clearly seen. They are supported, so they are on the rise and have smooth sailing in all aspects. However, because of this, their life fire is affected. They are the kind of people who are lucky and helpless when the world is with them, but when the luck is gone, the heroes are helpless."

"Once the support provided by the Fire Key reaches its upper limit, there will be no further progress. Do you understand what I mean?"

"It is this Lihuo Secret Key that can give you great support, but this support is not infinite, it is not arbitrary, and it is not permanent. It can help you turn a waste into a genius, but it cannot turn you into a genius forever. Sooner or later, the genius will be exposed."

"Zhao Fengxiao is like this, as is my eldest son, my eldest grandson, and the descendants of the Zhao family. They should have inherited the Secret Key of Lihuo. I don't need to guess what happened. The unknown ones are truly unknown."

"But you - although you also gained key benefits from the Secret Key of the Fire, it was not much. You even made a profit. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, interesting. I was wondering why that ray of Fire was so close to you. I see."

Zhao Guanshan looked at Mei Xun, who was beaming with joy, and was stunned. Could one tell so much from the Fire Sign of Fate?
"Don't try. You can't see it unless you can survive the calamity. This calamity is the key to mastering one-third of your life. Only by surviving the calamity can you break free from the fate. Come on, my good grandson, tell me, your ancestor, how did you do it?" Mei Xun was already smiling and looked quite kind.

Zhao Guanshan was helpless, but at the same time he was curious. Was there an upper limit to the support that the Lihuo Dao Fu could provide to the inheritor? So the cheat code also had a durability?
This is the first time I've heard this statement.

"Ancestor, can I know the upper limit of the support that this Fire Separation Key can provide me?"

Zhao Guanshan asked, he was more concerned about this, nonsense, who wouldn’t care, this was his cheating golden finger.

"The upper limit is not much. You have seen that two pieces of the Dongxuan Stone have been broken. The men of your Zhao family have been like pigs. They only know how to ask for things but not how to save. As a result, they have exhausted all the support and squeezed them crazily. In one breath, they have exhausted the upper limit. This is wrong."

Zhao Guanshan nodded vigorously, agreeing very much. Even with the cheating golden finger, one should not be too arrogant. The cheating golden finger also has dignity, it has a health bar and durability. It is necessary to give the cheating golden finger a thorough maintenance.

Don't think that you can do whatever you want with plug-ins and that any difficulties can be easily solved.

Mei Xun continued, "In fact, this support limit is difficult to quantify, but if you have to quantify it, it is not impossible. Take Zhao Fengxiao as an example. He is the first beneficiary of the Lihuo Secret Key. His support limit, um, can be calculated as one million points. I am using this analogy, you can understand it, right?"

“And when it comes to my older son, his support ceiling has become 500,000.”

"My good grandson, only one hundred thousand are left."

"By analogy, when it comes to you, the upper limit of the support that the Fire Key can provide you is—"

Mei Xun suddenly raised five fingers.

"Five thousand?" Zhao Guanshan asked nervously.

Mei Xun shook his head.

"five hundred?"

Still shaking his head.

"It can't be fifty." Zhao Guanshan said with a wry smile, but Mei Xun still shook his head.

"Could it be five o'clock?" Zhao Guanshan understood. This was the legendary weakling in combat.

"That's right, it's five points, so I can't help you much. This is also the reason why I, the ancestor, didn't think highly of you before. You must know that once the upper limit of support reaches zero, the Fire Key will disintegrate by itself and will no longer waste energy on our Zhao family. You are truly the last generation of inheritance."

"But, do you know how much support you have accumulated in your Lihuo Secret Key now?" Mei Xun stretched out five fingers again.

"Fifty?" "Five hundred?"

"No, it's fifty thousand! So I'm quite curious, how did you do it?" At this moment, Mei Xun looked at Zhao Guanshan with particular favor and kindness.

"I, I don't know either." Zhao Guanshan was overjoyed, but he was a little confused, because he believed that the imperial seal oil lamp really helped him a lot, so how was it possible that he didn't consume the support limit?

"Come on, tell me what you did when you first realized that the little flame in this imperial oil lamp was a little special."

"I, I just killed a third-level life-devouring demon."

"Did the Imperial Seal Oil Lamp help you kill him during this process?"

"No, I assembled the psychic crossbow myself. The oil lamp was there to warn me. After I killed the Life Devourer, I discovered that the oil lamp was very different."

"Yes, that's right. The warning is a function of the Imperial Seal Oil Lamp. It is not the help of the Fire Key. You killed the Life Devourer Demon entirely through your own efforts. On the contrary, the evil spirit of the Life Devourer Demon can be absorbed by the Fire Key."

"and then?"

"Then--"

Zhao Guanshan told him how he earned his first pot of gold, how he dealt with the Nightmare Demon in the bounty mission, how he successfully visualized the Fire Talisman, how he met Zhao Fengxiao, and how he prepared the Marrow Cleansing Liquid.

There were many vague points, but Mei Xun asked again and again.

He spoke until his mouth was dry, but Mei Xun was very happy to listen.

"That's right, that's right. Throughout the whole process, the only support the Fire Separation Key provides you is to help you purify the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Fluid. This level of support is about the amount of purification of a Spiritual Stone, and only a little support will be consumed. In other aspects, it is all your own efforts. Especially when you deal with the Nightmare Demon, it is very important. Under normal circumstances, you have to consume ten points of support in one go before you can successfully visualize the Fire Separation Talisman."

"As a result, you have merged with the illusion of the nightmare demon, and you have met the visualization conditions. This will not consume support points."

"You have to understand that the Fire Key can provide basic help."

"For example, here, there are five cave stones, which are all provided for free. Only when you log in to the dual cultivation partner, you need to consume support. Now, tell me how you logged in to the dual cultivation partner? You must know that this consumes the most support."

"Back then, I was a well-known young talent in Linjiang Prefecture, a genius in cultivation. Zhao Fengxiao spent 500,000 points of support to register me as his dual cultivation partner. Otherwise, do you think I would be interested in him? What a fool!"

Mei Xun said with disgust that ever since she figured out the secret key to the Fire of Departure, she has been angry about everything that has happened to her in her life.

The fact that she didn't go crazy was a testament to her extraordinary self-control.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan couldn't help but feel guilty, really.

After thinking about it, he told the story of how he met Liu Yuwei, and how he helped her stabilize the situation, including killing Xiao Baiyun and becoming the city lord. Finally, when he was trying to help her break through to the three-seal martial artist, he somehow triggered the login mechanism, making Liu Yuwei his NPC female teammate.

"Look, this is different. Liu Yuwei has had a crush on you before this. You are also a fool. The girl is willing to take off her armor in front of you and show you her true face. Don't you understand? Idiot!"

"So you see, logging in as a dual cultivation couple like this won't cost you support. In fact, because she's devoted to you and has a very good impression of you, logging in like this will earn you support. I think Liu Yuwei alone has earned you 500 support points."

"Come on, let's talk about Xiao Chengyun. She has even greater potential. How did you subdue her?"

"Well, I didn't do anything, I just saved her life!"

"Silly boy, you still call this doing nothing? It's a life-saving favor, which requires a personal reward. It's a huge favor. I understand. This at least helped you earn a thousand points of support. What happened next?"

Mei Xun was simply burning with gossip.

"What happened next?"

"How could there be no later events? What is your relationship with them like? What are your daily lives like? What happened later? Your current support limit is a full 50,000. This is definitely not something you can earn by logging in as two dual cultivation couples."

"I really didn't do anything. I just built a city, collected some resources, killed some evil spirits, and then came to the spirit world to earn some spirit stones. I used the spirit stones to help them light up the magic runes. Doesn't this process consume support?"

"Of course it will be consumed. This is a shortcut, but the support consumed will not be too much. After all, you obtained the spirit stones yourself, and Liu Yuwei and Xiao Chengyun have a close enough relationship with you. If you are in tune with each other, the consumption will be minimal. No, no, you must be hiding something, otherwise how could you have so much support? Could it be that you gave birth to a son?"

"You must have given birth to some Qilin children. This is a relatively effective way to increase support. A father's status is determined by his sons."

"no!"

Zhao Guanshan shook his head.

"What went wrong?" Mei Xun was so anxious that he scratched his head. Zhao Guanshan looked innocent. He had said everything he should say, and naturally would not say anything he shouldn't say.

And he had already guessed where the problem lay.
