Chapter 21: Victory in the Challenge and Obtaining the Sharpening Stone Blueprint
Page 1/3
Ye Chuyun glanced at the progress bar.
Area 346: 8 challenge tokens
Area 118: 14 challenge tokens
It seemed that while he was dealing with the three-headed boss, Wang Gang’s group had some good luck, unexpectedly acquiring 4 challenge tokens.
Ye Chuyun looked at the 15 challenge tokens in his storage space and smiled faintly before handing them all in!
Originally, the chat channel on both sides was buzzing with excitement, but suddenly the progress bar for Area 118 changed again. Opening it up, they saw:
Area 346: 8 challenge tokens
Area 118: 29 challenge tokens
Kudo Moto exclaimed, “Impossible!! How could Area 118 suddenly gain 15 challenge tokens in such a short time? This is cheating!!!”
Ito Shuichi shouted, “I don’t believe it! How is this even possible?!”
Cai Kun laughed heartily, “Why not believe it? It must be Boss Ye stepping in. Now we’re just one token away from winning this challenge. Brothers, stop wasting time arguing and charge forward!”
Wang Gang said, “Brothers, I see a blue poison frog. I think the last challenge token is coming. I’m charging ahead!”
Yoshino Eiji yelled, “No!!! I can’t accept this. How can the other side gather tokens so fast without any drop rate potions?!”
Kitahara Sosuke accused, “Shuichi, you bastard! It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t initiated the resource challenge, we wouldn’t be in such a mess!”
Huang Li chimed in, “Keep cursing, it’s that Shuichi! Why does he send us such big gifts for no reason? And he acts all innocent.”
Ito Shuichi snapped back, “Shut up, you idiots! Playing double standards, huh? Fine, I don’t care anymore. Curse me all you want — it’s not just me who will bear the punishment.”
Kudo Moto shouted, “You selfish devil!! You’re going to get us all killed!”
At that moment, everyone in Area 346 went mad, each one stepping forward to curse Ito Shuichi bitterly.
They had praised him so enthusiastically before, but now their words were harsh and unforgiving.
Yet even so, they could not change the outcome of defeat.
Before long, Wang Gang and the others completed the last challenge token.
Area 118 had completely won the challenge!
[Announcement: Area 118 gathered 30 challenge tokens the fastest. Area 346 failed the challenge!]
[Announcement: Area 118 immediately receives a 24-hour reward of double energy gain and double resources in the Trial Land!]
[Announcement: Area 346 is punished with half energy gain and half resources for 24 hours!]

[Announcement: The person who contributed the most during this challenge is Ye Chuyun, who contributed 25 challenge tokens, earning 30 attribute points and a Dark Iron treasure chest reward!]
[Notice: Challenge ended. The chat channel connection with Area 346 will be disconnected.]
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, the entire Venomous Swamp began shaking violently.
All kinds of spiritual herbs, spirit fruits, treasure chests, and ferocious beasts appeared in multiples.
Additionally, many mineral deposits and mountain ranges emerged.
These were all resources!
At this moment, everyone erupted in excitement.
Cai Kun laughed, “Hahaha, awesome! A gray treasure chest suddenly appeared next to me. I opened it and got a first-tier piece of equipment and some God-Demon coins.”
Huang Li said, “I just found a bunch of spiritual herbs here. Hehe, I’ll gather them all and sell them to Boss Ye.”
Liu Daqiang grinned, “Haha, there are lots of Green Claw Beasts too. Are there any other level-one players? Let’s form a team and hunt these fierce beasts. Don’t waste that 24-hour double energy!”
Wu Jun said, “Brothers, I’m ashamed to say this, but I was too scared. Ever since arriving in the God-Demon World, I’ve been hiding. Now I see we’ve won, I realize how pathetic I’ve been. I’ve decided to pull myself together.”
“Is there room for one more upstairs? Let’s team up.”
Huang Peng said, “Good, good, good. Our Area 118 will only get better.”
Ye Chuyun ordered, “Keep collecting special items, spiritual herbs, ores, and all materials—everything!”
Wang Gang exclaimed, “Boss Ye is here!! I’ve got five spiritual herbs on me. I don’t want money; they’re all yours!”
Zhuang Liang said, “Boss Ye, I want to follow you. Our team leader is too trash.”
Liu Mengran added, “Boss Ye, I just caught a handful of spiritual herbs. I’ll sell them all to you!”
Meanwhile, Area 346 was filled with wailing.
Takano Izumi said, “I don’t believe it. How could our Great Sakura Empire lose to the East Asian Sick Man?”
Kudo Moto shouted, “Damn it, a gray treasure chest just disappeared right in front of me. My treasure chest!!”
“Shuichi, you bastard, you owe me that chest!!”
Kitahara Sosuke raged, “It’s all that damned Shuichi. If he hadn’t recklessly started the resource challenge, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Where is he now? I’m going to kill him!”
Otoha Nobuko cried, “Where did all my spiritual herbs go? That huge patch just vanished!!”
Xiao Zhai Shen said, “I just killed a level-one ferocious beast and got 1 energy point. What’s the point of fighting if it’s this easy?”

Sago Mami exclaimed, “Oh my god, the three-headed ferocious beasts in front of me all disappeared. Our resources really are dwindling.”
Kudo Moto shouted, “Ito Shuichi, don’t let me see you or I’ll cut you down!!”
For a time, everyone in Area 346 was searching for Ito Shuichi’s whereabouts, swearing to make him pay.
Victory and benefits originally belonged to Area 346 in their previous life.
But now, with Ye Chuyun’s intervention, the outcome was changed.
Area 118 began to thrive.
...
Ye Chuyun held the Dark Iron treasure chest in his hands and took a deep breath.
[Dark Iron Treasure Chest: Opening guarantees a 100% chance to receive God-Demon coins, 20% chance to obtain third-tier equipment, 20% chance to get skill books, and special item rewards.]
He slowly opened the chest.
The next second, a burst of white light flashed, dazzlingly bright.
[God-Demon Coins] *1000
[Sage’s Chain: +30 Spirit. Wearing it reduces skill cooldown times. Third-tier equipment. Wearing requirements: level 4, Spirit above 100.]
[Blueprint for Beginner’s Sharpening Stone: Used to craft Beginner’s Sharpening Stone.]
[Skill Stones] *10
[Enhancement Stones] *10
“Wow, this necklace is insanely powerful!”
Ye Chuyun quickly removed the [Spirit Necklace] and equipped the [Sage’s Chain].
He then allocated all 30 newly obtained free attribute points into [Spirit], causing his mental power to soar to 289.
His eyes then gleamed as he looked at the [Blueprint for Beginner’s Sharpening Stone] in his hands, murmuring to himself,
“This is going to make me rich.”
