Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Celestial Cyan Sect Female Disciple? (Five more)
HEH HEH... Bringing Firewood inside is one thing, but these guys even brought Coriander? Are they here to search for the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure, or did they come here for a picnic?
Xu Nian watched the Players’ behavior, feeling completely unsettled.
What the heck! Day after day, instead of thinking about how to earn Contribution Points, they only focus on things that make them happy. This game is a waste even when it’s free for them to play!
Little Boss’s skills were excellent. With swift moves of his knife, he gutted the Big Black Fish, then started washing it by the Cold Lake.
"And we can even get Contribution Points for this!"
Little Boss turned and said, "Just one Big Black Fish is worth Ten Contribution Points; it’s quite valuable."
Hearing this, the Players’ eyes immediately blazed with excitement. Contribution Points? One fish worth Ten Contribution Points? Dozens had jumped into the lake just now, right? If they killed them all, that could earn them a few hundred Contribution Points!
"Don’t fight over it; I’ve got this covered!"
"Sorry, I’m going first—the Black Fish in this lake now belong to Cloud Lament!"
"People of the Second Legion, don’t just stand there! Come with me and kill the Big Black Fish!"
"Mine, all mine!"
...
The Players threw caution to the wind and leapt into the Cold Lake. They didn’t care whether they could swim or not; they’d jump in first and figure it out later.
In the lake, when the Big Black Fish saw prey arriving, they too emerged and attacked the Players. But facing the fierce Players, these Big Black Fish were clearly no match. They could manage surprise attacks, but they were weak in a head-on battle.
The Players joined forces to hunt. Anytime a Big Black Fish appeared, seven or eight of them would charge at it. They would grab the fish, pin it down, and drag it forcefully toward the shore.
The Big Black Fish thrashed in the water, never expecting their prey to fight back. Moreover, it seemed as if the prey intended to kill them.
Blood Demoness stood on the shore, swallowing hard. "Did you teach them this too?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xu Nian turned, his face dark.
This was all the Players’ Talent; it had nothing to do with him as the Sect Leader!
Nearby, Little Boss had already dissected the Big Black Fish. He carefully placed the fish head into the pot to boil, remembering to add some seasonings. Before long, an enticing, savory aroma wafted from the pot. Even Blood Demoness couldn’t help but glance over a few more times.
Standing nearby, Guan Guan Jujiu asked Dung Beetle curiously, "Can we really eat that? Won’t it be poisonous?"
"What’s there to fear? The worst that can happen is death," Dung Beetle replied nonchalantly.
Guan Guan Jujiu was stunned. The worst is death? Does he have some misunderstanding about death? If you die, that’s it, you’re gone!
At that moment, she sensed the terror of the Profound Yellow Sect. These people, for the sake of food, are willing to forsake their own lives—truly a bunch of monsters! Ordinary people, upon seeing a Big Black Fish, would likely run as far away as possible. After all, such creatures are things normal people have never seen. But here in the Profound Yellow Sect? These Big Black Fish have become nothing more than a means to satisfy their appetites. Terrifying! After exploring the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure, I must leave at the first opportunity. This Profound Yellow Sect is too bizarre.
Guan Guan Jujiu was now not just fearful of Dung Beetle alone but had become fearful of all Profound Yellow Sect Disciples.
As the Players’ slaughter began, the Big Black Fish in the Cold Lake dared not show themselves anymore. Even if a Player stripped naked and jumped in, the Big Black Fish would hide far, far away. This was blatant entrapment! Who even does that?
"Damn, these fish are pretty smart, all swimming towards the Deep Depths!"
"Who’s pulling me up? I can’t swim! Save me!"
"I only killed one, and that bastard Daytime Alms started kill-stealing again! He’s stolen eight already by himself!"
"He also stole three from me! This bastard is seriously toxic!"
...
The Players cursed as they climbed ashore, shivering from the cold, casting hostile glances at Daytime Alms, who had just come onto land.
That bastard is truly toxic, many thought. He was more proficient at kill-stealing than anyone; all the Contribution Points had been completely snatched by him alone. Many Players shivered, cursing Daytime Alms.
But Daytime Alms didn’t care in the slightest. At worst, I’ll just get beaten up. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve already profited. I alone snatched one hundred and seventy Contribution Points; the other Players couldn’t compete with that at all!
Seeing the Big Black Fish on the shore, many people were annoyed that they had been too slow. Those were Contribution Points, after all. Such a pity!
As time ticked by, the Fish Head Soup Little Boss was preparing was almost done. The other Life Players had already started making grilled fish and fish sashimi nearby. In short, they had managed to prepare that one fish in a dazzling variety of ways. Although Players didn’t really need to eat in the game, they still wanted the experience. It was their first time encountering such a Big Black Fish, after all!
"Let’s eat, let’s eat! I’m ready!"
"Damn, I can’t stand it anymore just smelling that delicious scent! Little Boss’s cooking skills are getting better and better!"
"Who has extra chopsticks? Please pass me a pair."
"Don’t push! My grilled fish just fell on the ground!"
...
Watching a Player pick up the grilled fish from the ground to eat it, Xu Nian couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
What is all this? Where are my hardworking, Task-completing Players? System, what on earth have you done to my Players?!
Blood Demoness and Guan Guan Jujiu also sat down together, each picking up a piece of fish head meat with their chopsticks. Their mouths were soon glistening with oil from the rich meat, and its savory aroma filled the air. The entire Cold Lake Cave was almost filled with the tempting aroma of fish.
Just as Xu Nian was planning to eat a bit, a rush of hurried footsteps came from somewhere inside the cave. At once, he became vigilant. Looking back, he saw a group of rather disheveled women rushing out from a corner, and then they all froze in place.
Their appearance also attracted the attention of the Players. These women all had good figures. Although their looks were not as striking as those of Blood Demoness and Shen Rongyin, each was an exceptional beauty in her own right—absolutely pleasing to the eye.
Xu Nian recognized them as Disciples of the Celestial Cyan Workshop from Jiangnan and was a bit surprised. The Abbot Tianqing, Yan Ruyu, was the only woman among the top ten martial artists. This woman had a strong reputation in the Jianghu, and many female martial artists aspired to be like her.
At the same time, the Celestial Cyan Workshop was a strange faction. They only accepted women as disciples. Moreover, these women had to be exceptionally beautiful and skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. No one knew the reason for this requirement. However, it was true that the women of the Celestial Cyan Workshop all possessed unique talents. In fact, all Disciples of the Celestial Cyan Workshop were virgins! From the day they joined, their chastity was marked by a special substance, personally applied by Yan Ruyu herself. This practice truly baffled the people of the Jianghu.
But looking at the current situation of these Celestial Cyan Workshop Female Disciples, it seemed they were not faring too well either.
