[System Prompt: “Who Called Me Blind” killed a minion of the evil god and foiled the evil god’s plot, rewarding the entire team with 10 free attribute points.]
A whopping 10 points all at once.
Not only that, but as the giant wolf died, thick black smoke poured from its body. However, the smoke in the air was compressed by an invisible giant hand, turning into beads that floated in mid-air, glowing with the light of dropped equipment.
And that light was golden.
Chu Fu quickly grabbed one.
[Evil God’s Divine Substance (Gold-tier Item):
Can be used on equipment level 10 or below (including level 10) to improve the equipment's quality.
Bronze to Silver: Requires 1 piece.
Silver to Gold: Requires 10 pieces.
Gold to Dark Gold: Requires 100 pieces.]
Jackpot!
Chu Fu and her teammates picked up all the items and found 56 beads.
Chu Fu quickly divided them up.
“We’ll split them based on contribution,” she said. “But if any of you don’t have enough to make 10, you can buy the extras from others at 100 silver coins each. Sound fair?”
Gold-tier equipment was incredibly valuable in the newbie village—practically priceless and unavailable on the market.
But they were about to head to a level-20 map, where nightmare-difficulty dungeons dropped gold equipment, usually selling for between 1 and 9 gold coins.
Of course, this item could be used to enhance any gear slot. If you used it on something like a cloak, you’d make a massive profit. The price would easily double.
That said, they were a fixed team, members of the same guild, and even shareholders in the same company.
At this moment, having a few extra pieces of gold gear wasn’t as important as maintaining fairness and unity within the group.
Chu Fu’s proposal was both fair and considerate of everyone’s feelings. It was spot on.
“No problem! You’re taking a loss again this time,” Jiao Jiao said. “When we get to the new map and a special piece of gear drops, I’ll let you have it!”
“Boo-hoo, thank you, Plant Girl, I know you’re looking out for me,” Suture Saint chimed in. Her contribution this time hadn’t reached 20%, so she couldn’t get 10 pieces of the substance.
But at least she wasn’t short on money anymore. Her Corpse Sewing skill was earning her a fortune every day, making her the highest earner in the team.
Next came the distribution.
Chu Fu’s contribution was 39%, earning her 22 pieces of the Evil God’s Divine Substance. She would naturally have to give a few away.
This was essentially giving up a gold-tier piece of equipment.
How could that not be a huge sacrifice?
Chu Fu then sold 6 pieces of the substance, pocketing 600 silver coins. The others traded among themselves until everyone had 10 pieces.
After the distribution, nobody used them immediately. The monster tide wasn’t over yet.
“Kill, kill, kill! If Plant Master shows up, there’s no way we can compete with their team!”
“Free attribute points! Grab those free attribute points!”
“Go all out! Use your skills!”
Thanks to everyone’s efforts, the other teams snatched up all three boss kills. But with 10 free attribute points from killing the motionless king, Chu Fu had made up for her previous deficit and even earned an extra 7 points.
Once the bosses were dead, clearing the smaller monsters became easier. After Chu Fu unleashed a few rounds of [Plague Rat Spread], the monsters began to fall in droves.
Fifteen minutes later, all the monsters were dead.
The system let out an electrifying announcement.
[System Announcement: The monster tide has receded. Wangxi Village’s building preservation rate is 100%, NPC survival rate is 100%. Village defense successful!]
[System Announcement: Perfect defense rating achieved: 100% protection. All players receive a Guardian Badge, and all rewards are doubled.]
[System Announcement: All players in Wangxi Village gain +2 to all stats.]
[System Announcement: Public event contribution points are now being tallied.]
[System Announcement: A limited-time shop is now open. Exchange contribution points for rewards. Duration: 24 hours.]
[System Announcement: Players who have reached level 10 can spend 1 gold coin to teleport to the next-tier map: Fengdu Town Fortress.]
[System Announcement: Wangxi Village map restrictions have been lifted. Players can also travel to Fengdu Town Fortress on foot.]
[System Announcement: Level restrictions for all newbie village players have been removed.]
Everyone could hear these announcements.
But the next notification was personal.
[System Notice: Player “Who Wants to Be a Plant Lady,” you ranked first in contribution points during this monster tide invasion event, with a total of 6.28 million points.
You have received: Talent Enhancement Stone x1, Skill Enhancement Stone x5, Gold-tier Chest x1.
Due to the village achieving a perfect defense, your rewards have been doubled.
You have received: Talent Enhancement Stone x2, Skill Enhancement Stone x10, Gold-tier Chest x2.]
Then, a temporary exchange shop appeared automatically on her interface.
The first item made Chu Fu’s eyes light up.
[Talent Enhancement Stone: Exchange requires 5 million contribution points. Limit 1 per player.]
Chu Fu acted instantly and bought it.
Now she had 3 enhancement stones!
Some talents couldn’t be fully upgraded in a single enhancement, after all. Even among S-tier talents, there were differences in strength.
It was never a mistake to buy it.
Meanwhile, Jiao Jiao’s hysterical voice echoed across the entire server.
[Server 0308888] [Jiao Jiao]: “Don’t waste your contribution points! They’re now tokenized with numbers on them and are tradeable! I’m buying contribution points at a 1:1 ratio! Unlimited purchases! Unlimited!”
Jiao Jiao wanted that Talent Enhancement Stone!
Chu Fu quickly shouted, “Jiao Jiao, have someone help you buy them. This isn’t the time to celebrate. Gather everyone now. We’re heading to Tianhe Village!”
The team was stunned.
Shen Chi was the first to react. “You’re thinking of doing…?” he started.
Before he could finish, Chu Fu sent a shout across the server.
[Server 0308888] [Who Wants to Be a Plant Lady]: “Thank you to all the players of Wangxi Village. Today, we fought alongside Server 0288888. Although their server failed to defend their village, there are definitely NPCs still hiding there. And the monster tide will keep attacking.
“Hey, everyone, do you want to come with me to rescue those hidden NPCs? And the monsters in Tianhe Village will give tons of experience and gear. Anyone who wants to come, head there now! I’m leading the Thorn Guild out first!”
Chu Fu unfolded her mechanical wings and flew toward Tianhe Village.
Her team quickly caught on and unfolded their wings too.
They would follow Plant Girl!
Meanwhile, Lin Haowan was stunned by what he was seeing.
As Chu Fu soared into the air, the entire newbie village rose with her.
Over nine thousand players, each with a set of flying wings, soared together beside Chu Fu, heading toward Tianhe Village.
In that moment, Lin Haowan felt a surge of excitement, adrenaline rushing to his head.
“How is this even possible? This is incredible!”
“Right, there are still NPCs alive.”
“Hurry up, move faster! I’ll give you coordinates!”
“Those monsters are looking for NPCs right now. Some NPCs are hiding in a cellar, and the monsters are wrecking everything everywhere.”
“Damn it, why couldn’t the players in Tianhe Village hold out just a little longer? If they’d held out just a bit more time, you would’ve made it to support them!”
“Useless bunch!”
“Shit, a few wolf-type elite monsters have found the NPCs! But they’re too big to get inside for now—they’re destroying the cellar!”
