Building a sect from scratch.

Strictly speaking, since the players "invaded" the Guixu Realm, the market price of various spiritual materials has plummeted, especially those that can be mass-produced and raised. The entire market in Zhongzhou has been almost completely taken over by the "farms" that have sprung up like mushrooms after rain under the rule of the Taiyin Sect.

The price of spiritual materials from the Nine Nether Demon has plummeted due to the constant need to complete daily tasks, run dungeons, and fight monsters.

The attitude of cultivators towards the job of guarding the Nine Nether Passage has changed drastically, from "take a gamble and your donkey cart will turn into a flying boat" to "even dogs won't fight the Nine Nether Demons". This is because players are unreasonable and keep killing monsters to sell materials every day, which has caused the market to collapse!

Even so, such a large amount of spiritual materials is still quite valuable—even if it's not as valuable as the flying boat that Wu Tong bought last time, it's still not cheap!
"Boss lady, you...you've struck it rich!"

[Green Tomato] was so envious his eyes turned red.

This kind of group dungeon raiding is different from players forming their own groups to raid dungeons. The loot from group dungeon raids usually goes to the "buyer".

If the boss is generous, he might give the employees a bonus for special circumstances, but it's normal if he doesn't, since the employees are already receiving wages.

Although these drops are technically rewards from hidden quests, they are still in a dungeon. It's hard to say whether these rewards belong to dungeon drops or simply to quests. Even if Wu Tong directly concludes that they are dungeon drops, the players have no way to refute it.

Wu Tong had obviously thought of these things as well. After learning that the BOSS was in a good mood and sent a bunch of materials, she immediately decided to divide these materials by rolling points.

To save time and prevent resentment among the team, Wu Tong suggested that the Emperor divide the materials into ten portions so that each team could receive one portion.

The "Roll" refers to the dice roll; the player with the higher roll gets to choose a specific roll first.

As for how to divide the materials within the team, that's up to the team to decide. Overall, these ten materials are only roughly divided into one portion, and the team doesn't haggle over the value of the materials.

Even if Wu Tong had kept it all for himself, no one would have said anything. On the contrary, this somewhat luck-based distribution method made everyone very accepting. After all, luck can't save the unlucky, and spending money can't change fate. It was just the boss kindly distributing extra money to everyone, so if you're unlucky, you can't blame anyone else.

After the spoils were divided, the giant beast obediently lay down beside everyone and stared at them with a curious expression, but it didn't make a sound or disturb the players.

Zhao Qing did not participate in the "spoils," not because she looked down on the value of the materials, but because she was thinking about how to communicate with the giant beast.

"Actually, if we could bring NPCs into the dungeon, we might be able to communicate with them."

Zhao Qing explained, "When I was dealing with the Quanxian people in Quanxian Royal City just now, I specifically asked them. The Quanxian people communicate through divine sense, so they don't need to use language. This might be helpful in this situation."

The Emperor's eyes darted around, and he said something that was sure to shock everyone: "Since it's not easy to bring people in, we can take the BOSS out!"

The other players were stunned: "Are you kidding me, Your Majesty? A boss can be taken out of the dungeon?!"

The Jade Emperor argued righteously, "Wasn't that demon a boss? Didn't we bring it out of the instance?"

"Holy crap! It really does seem to be true!"

Everyone then realized that the Demon Lord was the same boss they had been forced to bind in another instance!
[Green Tomato] clicked his tongue and asked, "Then how are we going to take it out? We can't just tie it up and carry it around, can we?"

"Let's see if we can make it understand!"

The Emperor added cheerfully, "Let's give it a name, how about Big Eyes? Anyway, with such big eyes, it really only has one eye!"

"I'll do it! I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Unexpectedly, [Handsome Guy] was the first to volunteer: "I've been outwitting my golden shaded dog for so long, I'm sure we can communicate across species!"

As he spoke, "Handsome Guy" ran over to Big Eyes in a few steps, carefully pulled up Big Eyes's frontmost tentacle, and then pulled it outwards with all his might, trying to convey the idea that Big Eyes should follow him.

Fortunately, while Mikey couldn't communicate with the players verbally, he wasn't unintelligent. He quickly understood what "Handsome Guy" meant and obediently followed behind him, crawling slowly. His several-meter-tall body, combined with his six short tentacles, made Mikey move like an octopus on the seabed, leaving a long trail—except that while sea creatures leave trails of slime, Mikey didn't secrete slime; instead, he slammed his seemingly powerful tentacles into the ground, creating several deep trenches.

Soon, the players brought Mike to the teleportation array. This teleportation array was temporary and only used for players to enter and exit, so its size was limited. After Mike climbed up, it was difficult for the players to stand inside.

Unexpectedly, the big-eyed creature merely glanced at the teleportation array a few times with curiosity, as if it understood what the players wanted to do. It happily stretched out its tentacles and rolled all the players one by one onto its head. Finally, it urged them on by gently poking the Emperor with the tip of its tentacles.

It was even able to identify that the person in charge of the team was the Jade Emperor!
Seeing this through the player's perspective, Fang Xianyu became increasingly shocked and curious.

Clearly, this creature is quite intelligent, and judging from its previous performance, its strength should not be underestimated—it can force a superior demon to cower like a quail as food, so it is definitely not a simple character. Why have I never seen it in the Ruins of Return...?

To avoid having to return to the instance, Wu Tong and the Sea God remained inside, while the Jade Emperor also left an extra lone figure in case of unforeseen circumstances.

However, Fang Xianyu planned to treat this task as a dungeon run.

There were no monsters left to fight in this small cave world—it seems that any that existed had become food for the one-eyed giant beast. Fang Xianyu even suspected that the one-eyed giant beast was deliberately squatting inside, waiting for the various demons and mythical beasts that wandered into the Five-Colored Array to be delivered to its mouth.

Of course, these are all just speculations. Since the Cyclops seems to be a highly intelligent creature and its current attitude is relatively friendly, Fang Xianyu will definitely choose to disguise himself and make contact with it personally...

"Huh? It's Senior Sister!?"

As soon as he left the instance, Emperor Junshan, who habitually looked around, looked up and saw Baili Shuang gracefully riding the clouds in the sky. He shouted excitedly.

With the increasing number of players, encountering important sect NPCs like Baili Shuang has become extremely difficult. Many players lost favorability points earlier due to their inappropriate behavior, and it's hard to get them back. Even camping out at the Taiyin Palace makes it difficult to encounter her, which is why the [Emperor of Junshan] was particularly excited upon seeing Baili Shuang.

What if you lick it well and it increases the other person's affection level?

"Thank you all for your hard work in receiving our guests. This is a reward for you."

As Baili Shuang spoke, she smiled slightly and took out a small Qiankun bag from her sleeve, handing it to the Great Emperor.

The Qiankun Bag was the same plain blue color as before, without any patterns. However, out of curiosity, the Great Emperor opened it and found that it contained some equipment and items as rewards for clearing dungeons, nothing special, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Immediately afterwards, the mission completion notification sounded. Besides the basic rewards, the guaranteed drop of a "limited-time mystery item" caused many players to shout with excitement—

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Five thousand points to exchange for coins!"

Some rather clueless players didn't realize what was going on: "What points?"

"It's the event points from the limited-time event! They're exchangeable coins! One coin is equal to five thousand points!"

"Wow! Does that mean that collecting 200 exchange coins is enough to get the exchange voucher for drawing a house?"

"As expected, whales never have to worry about their livers..."

As the workers were discussing amongst themselves, Wu Tong, who had been lurking in the team chat, finally climbed onto the team microphone, cleared his throat, and asked:

"Ahem, so, do you guys sell the tokens you get for these event points? I'll buy them for 500 RMB each!"
