Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 137 dares to give a one-star review

Lu Chaoding didn't expect to make money from "Reliable Mall". With the Task Hall, money was just a number to him. However, the stage goal rewards of Reliable Mall were really good. He wanted to quickly get 10 five-star reviews and make the mall's rating reach 100.

Jiang Youxian and Dugu Tian naturally supported Lu Chaoding's business. They also found chilled watermelon juice novel and bought a lot of it, giving it five-star reviews.

To Lu Chaoding's surprise, Song Shu, who was bound by rope, also bought a lot of chilled watermelon juice. However, with his hands tied, he couldn't drink it. After muttering to himself for a while, he actually gave Lu Chaoding a one-star review.

It's important to know that the store's rating is entirely determined by customer reviews. A five-star review adds ten points, while a one-star review deducts twenty points. Moreover, each customer can only give one review for the same product.

"What audacity!"

Lu Chao looked at Song Shu and thought to himself, "Are you looking for trouble?"

Without any hesitation, he immediately took out the Purple Gold Gourd, uncorked it, pointed the gourd's mouth at Song Shu, and said, "If I call your name, will you dare to answer?"

"What?"

Song Shu looked blankly at Lu Chaoding, but the [Purple Gold Gourd] had already taken effect. The bound Song Shu had no power to resist. His body immediately shrank and transformed into the shape of tobacco shreds, flying into the [Purple Gold Gourd], leaving only the bundle of hemp rope scattered on the ground!

"Huh?" Dugu Tiandao asked, "Brother Ding, what's wrong with you...?"

Lu Chao retorted, "This guy actually dared to give me a one-star review."

"So, Brother Ding, you want to punish him yourself?"

"Lock him up for a while!"

Lu Chao picked up the Purple Gold Gourd again, but then, the Multi-Treasure Sword Immortal's special ability malfunctioned, and the Ghost Panel Axe, Counterattack Shield, and two Swift Jade Pendants fell to the ground at the same time.

This scene made it seem as if Lu Chao had taken the treasure.

He quickly bent down to pick it up, thought for a moment, equipped the Counterattack Shield in the first inventory slot, and shrunk the Purple Gold Gourd into a pendant, placing it in the first inventory slot.

Other items were always put into the storage space.

Dugu Tian's eyes lit up as he looked at the Purple-Gold Gourd on Lu Chao's head, and he asked, "Brother Ding, what kind of treasure is this gourd of yours?"

"This is called the Purple Gold Gourd!" Lu Chao exclaimed. "It's an innate spiritual treasure used by Laozi to store elixirs of immortality."

"Laozi? Who is he?" Dugu Tian clearly didn't understand, and asked again, "Song Shu was taken in? Can he escape on his own?"

"Probably, maybe, perhaps, they can't escape. After all, this is the Purple Gold Gourd, not a broken sack. What do you say, Chief?" Lu Chao looked at Ding Quanzhen.

Ding Quanzhen immediately replied, "Yes, any target captured by the Purple Gold Gourd, unless they are an existence above the extraordinary level, has no chance of escaping. However, the Purple Gold Gourd can only hold one target at a time. To accommodate a new target, you must release the target that has been captured inside."

"Extraordinary!" Jiang Youxian's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "This is truly a treasure!"

She noticed Lu Chaoding and Dugu Tian looking at her and explained, "Transcendent is a realm above Excellence! The limit level for Mortal Realm is 30, for Excellence it's 60, and for Transcendent Realm it's 90. Therefore, the weakest Transcendent Realm being must be level 61!"

Dugu Tian said, "So, this guy who uses nunchucks is finished! He'll never be able to get out of here again. This treasure is really ruthless! Brother Ding, did the Grand Master create this treasure? Grand Master, take a look at my three-star pendant binding rope. Can you modify it for me? I'll give you ten bucks!"

Jiang Youxian also took down the Xuanjin wine gourd and said, "Chief, how much does it cost to upgrade this wine gourd to four stars and fully refine it?"

"At least 10!" Ding Quanzhen glanced at the Xuanjin wine gourd, then looked at Dugu Tian and said, "Your rope will cost a million!"

"Why don't you just rob someone?" Dugu Tian immediately became annoyed. Where would he get a million? He looked at Lu Chaoding with a pleading expression.

Upon hearing Jiang Youxian's description of "extraordinary," Lu Chaoding's desire to go to Tianyun Prefecture to undergo the Heavenly Trial and advance to the Excellent level resurfaced.

"Time to head to Tianyun Prefecture!"

He pondered silently, then turned to Ding Quanzhen and said, "Chief Master, your weapon-forging skills are top-notch. Would you be interested in developing your career in my Reliable Sword Sect? We have many disciples. If you come, you'll definitely make a fortune, which is much better than being the Chief Master here. After all, being the Chief Master is risky."

"Sect Leader Lu, are you trying to recruit me? To be honest, this Qian Yuan Lianhuan Dock is an enterprise established by my father. Back then, my father ran into trouble while plundering at sea and was captured by the Grand Elder of the Wuying Sword Sect in Tianyun Prefecture. I reluctantly became the head of this branch, but I didn't really want to do it anymore. Besides, this industry is not easy to do now. As long as Sect Leader Lu can provide me with a suitable salary, I am willing to stay at your sect permanently. I don't ask for much, just this amount a month will do..."

As he spoke, Ding Quanzhen held up one finger.

"One million!" Dugu Tian frowned.

Jiang Youxian seemed to understand and smiled, "It's one yuan, isn't it!"

Ding Quanzhen said, "Give me one cent a month, and I will stay at your sect's headquarters permanently, and I promise to serve only your sect's members. How about it?"

Lu Chao laughed and said, "The price is very reasonable. I'll give you 10 yuan to buy out your contract for 1,000 months!"

After saying that, Lu Chao took out the Qian Yuan Token and swiped it at Ding Quanzhen from a distance, immediately transferring 10 yuan to him.

Ding Quanzhen was overjoyed and jumped up on the spot. He bowed deeply to Lu Chao and said, "Sect Leader Lu is so generous. From now on, I will join your sect. From now on, I will be at your beck and call. If any members of your sect come to me to order, upgrade, refine, or reforge equipment, I will only charge the cost price!"

"Ding! Special storyline completed. Ding Quanzhen relinquishes his position as the Grand Master of Qian Yuan Lianhuan Dock and will be stationed at Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain for 83 years and 3 months. He will automatically acquire the identity of a reliable Sword Sect Refining Elder!"

"Ding, the plot of Qian Yuan Island and Qian Yuan Lianhuan Dock has changed. Qian Yuan Lianhuan Dock has lost its chief leader and all branch leaders and hall masters, and has been judged to be destroyed. The performance elder Grey Heron has been transformed into a free fashion merchant, and the pirates on the island have been transformed into powerless wanderers."

Lu Chao nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Chaoding lost interest in exploring Qian Yuan Island. He said goodbye to Ye Xuntian and then released the Heavenly-class Sky-Patrol Ship, originally priced at 10 billion, carrying Ding Quanzhen, Jiang Youxian, and Dugu Tian towards Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain.

Jiang Youxian and Dugu Tian followed Lu Chaoding back to Qijie Mountain because they wanted to entrust Ding Quanzhen with upgrading their equipment. Once Ding Quanzhen was installed at Hongchen Qijie Mountain and became a reliable weapon-refining elder of the sword sect, her fees for upgrading and refining equipment for the sect's disciples would be greatly reduced, although it wouldn't be free.

Meanwhile, the weapon-refining master Ding Quanzhen boarded the celestial patrol ship, but he sighed and looked extremely dejected, muttering, "Why did I lose another 10 billion? Why, why..."

When Lu Chaoding left Qianyuan Island, Zhao Qunzi had already sailed the sect's patrol ship to Qianyuan Island. A large number of reliable sword sect players jumped off the patrol ship and excitedly chased after novice and veteran pirates.
