I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 614 - 101: Human Detective Goes Viral, X’s Sacrifice as a Salted Fish

Ning Zheng wasn't in a hurry to distribute new rewards.

He decided to wait for three days until the merchant ship had left.

His gaze focused on the remaining Qi Fortune Value:

[4.01 million]

After taking a few days to rest, his foundation was stable again, and it was time to break through to the next realm.

He took a deep breath.

[-1 million Qi Fortune Value.]

Boom!

His mind suddenly exploded as if forming a vast vortex, swallowing everything.

Ning Zheng sat cross-legged and quickly consumed a large number of top treasures that nourish the soul from his storage ring.

Qi Fortune Value only facilitates the breakthrough, but doesn't conjure the energy needed for it.

These resources were something Ning Zheng didn't have when he was selling Immortal Artifacts to make money.

Fortunately, as the Xirong Giant, he had raided many tombs and forbidden zones, acquiring various treasures from those Great Powers. These soul resources were enough to support a breakthrough to the One Heart Realm.

One day.

Two days.

The retreat passed swiftly.

Ning Zheng opened his eyes again, exhaling a long breath of muddy qi, silently sensing the condition of his body.

Yin Yang Cycle.

Great Perfection of the Two-Phase Realm.

He felt the surging power within his body, the solid and nearly tangible Dharma Aspect, one yin and one yang, one primary, one auxiliary.

Others, being living people, have a yang Dharma Aspect as the main part, while the yin Dharma Aspect wanders out of the body.

However, Ning Zheng was quite peculiar.

His primary Dharma Aspect was yin, and the yang Dharma Aspect wandered out of the body.

This was probably because he was dead, and in the Yin Yang Cycle, yin qi was the main attribute.

He didn't mind, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes:

"The next is the One Heart Realm. Then, I will truly be at the level of a Sect Leader of Nine-State, starting to reach the peak of the world. Being a Sect Leader of a Holy Land would be fitting."

On average, it still took about a week per realm, just like during the Five-Body Realm. The speed of the breakthrough did not slow down.

In the old era, even the top prodigies had to spend thousands of years honing, but he completed it with just "good luck."

His gaze fell on a piece of information.

[Breakthrough to One Heart Realm: 10 million Qi Fortune Value.]

Just as he thought.

The next realm not only required vast breakthrough cultivation resources but also required a full 10 million Qi Fortune Value, equivalent to five million individuals: -2.

But fortunately, with his established family and fortune, at the current rate of Qi Fortune Value increase, it would take about twenty days to gather it all.

This was under the condition that the worship of statues in Ximen City was declining.

However, when the East is not bright, the West is.

The Bone Demon Sect had now absorbed a million refugees, and since the Sea Race were generally illiterate, they were quite simple and honest, making them very easy to deceive.

With the promotion of Detective Yan Shuangying, it was easy for them to worship the [Bone Demon Statue] in the square.

Now, some devout Sea Race believers would even pray to the statue before meals, while also covering blessings for seeking children, praying for fortune, and going to sea for fishing and hunting.

"We also need to push for Marriage Dress Town."

"With tens of thousands of townspeople, those who can accompany sacrifices are elites. As original No-Life Sect conversions, the rate should not be low. It's estimated that sixty out of a hundred ghosts can sincerely dedicate themselves -2."

Once Marriage Dress Town was absorbed, along with the daily 100,000 from the prison, the daily fixed Qi Fortune Value might soar to 200,000 a day!

And this was just one Secret Realm!

If I find a few more tombs with such believers and cohesion, wouldn't the Qi Fortune Value just come streaming in?

Ning Zheng sat cross-legged, and as he fully understood his thoughts, a smile appeared.

"Forget it, let's stabilize the realm first and then task a few jobs to the blacksmiths; gather them together."

"After all, it's an era of personal bravery."

"If I'm strong enough and my fists are big enough, only then can the blacksmiths have the ability to fool around."

....

In the afternoon, while Ning Zheng was still adapting to the new realm, he received a message from Bian Shuang.

"We are leaving."

Bian Shuang came to bid farewell.

During these three days of Ning Zheng's retreat, he had basically ignored external affairs, leaving everything to Jiucai Rong, as this person's management skills were much more reliable than Ning Zheng's.

During these three days, Bian Shuang and Jiucai Rong had a battle of wits and ended up speechless.

They could only say this money-loving fish was simply insane and too stingy!

No wonder they were willing to lie dead, waiting for the heavens to bestow a Three Flowers gift package.

The most outrageous part was that he actually took over the channels of seven or eight shops, moving them directly from the Ark to establish businesses here.

To know, the shops on the ark are all opened by members of the Other Shore Business Alliance. If the Bone Demon Sect settles in and becomes a member, it will open a shop called "Coral Ball" on the ark.

But now?

The other party obviously has no intention of joining, turning around to exploit the members of their business alliance instead?

But she couldn't say anything, just members, not her slaves. If members choose to open a branch in this city, she really can't say much.

If she is too fussy and forcibly stops them, her reputation among business alliance members would not be good.

"Leaving so soon?" At this moment, seeing the ever-changing expression on Bian Shuang's face, Ning Zheng asked curiously, "Not staying a few more days?"

"Not necessary at all."

Bian Shuang repeatedly refused.

I'm just selling some things to make a little money, and you're directly digging at my roots?

If they're digging at my foundation today, won't they steal my money-making channels tomorrow?

"Not staying long is the rule."

She spoke seriously, "We are itinerant merchants, it's not appropriate to linger too long. This time we're heading to the north to Frozen Plain City to check on the frontline situation. We might stop here again for three days on our return."

Ning Zheng thought for a moment and agreed, these large forces definitely didn't come here specifically for him, "Then I wish you all a safe journey."

"Thank you for your kind words."

Bian Shuang smiled, "The customs here are nice, after a while, I'll introduce some friends to come over with merchant ships, you can entertain them as well as you did us."

"Of course." Ning Zheng had no doubts.

Bian Shuang left quickly, steering the ark away from this city.

"What good people."

Ning Zheng went out, watching them leave.

A group of young blacksmiths also stood in the square, happily waving at the sky, full of reluctance:

"Come to play next time!"

"Yes, I hope you like the 'Detective Yan Shuangying' we gave you!"

...

Bian Shuang, who was leaving, heard the shouting about the book behind them and showed an even stranger expression.

This time, the featured products sold in this city mainly include three items.

Coral Ball, Coral Magical Robe, the novel "Detective Yan Shuangying".

And, surprisingly, "Detective Yan Shuangying" is quite a bestseller.

In the last day, a group of young blacksmiths went door-to-door to promote, as long as you purchase more than 1000 copies, it comes with 10 episodes of a limited edition collectible signed law enforcement video (a ten-episode series).

In this "law enforcement video", Yan Shuangying is valiant and heroic, frequently solving strange cases, and the bystander roles are vividly expressive, with each episode's twists being exceptionally brilliant!

After all, the plotlines of those award-winning detective novels on Earth have been utilized by them.

And the whole story also has a main storyline, with each case connecting together to gradually reveal the chaotic law enforcement of the Sea Race.

Those murderers with deep hatred can only rely on killing to avenge, with many of the motives for the crimes being deeply touching.

For example, Bian Shuang's favorite in the seventh episode of the law enforcement video, "X's Sacrifice as a Salted Fish", is particularly exciting. Witnessing the childhood genius rival of Yan Shuangying battling wits and courage stirs the blood!

The shop owners were so engrossed, they saw a business opportunity, thinking that if they themselves were fascinated by this, they should buy a large batch.

They weren't stupid, they also found it fake... perhaps there was a business genius in this town adept at this type of mythology-building, creating a spiritual faith, using a hero to rally the people's hearts...

But what does it have to do with them?

As long as it looks real, and is based on real events, there will be topics and it will sell!

And.

These blacksmiths were also incredibly shameless, even revealing:

"Recently we are organizing new law enforcement records, preparing to release the second part."

"It's a terrifying 'Death Note' case, where a Ye Shengyu who obtained an Immortal Spirit Root uses the Death Note to kill! Whoever's name is written in the notebook is cursed, their heart stopping suddenly, that Ye Shengyu feels the darkness of Sea Race law enforcement... and wishes to be the god of a new world!"

"Watch how our Sea Race's no.1 detective Yan Shuangying battles wits and courage!"

Very explosive.

The few episodes secretly released are stunning, the plot twists are masterpieces, keeping the shop owners on the edge of their seats.

This was also one of the reasons Bian Shuang hurriedly led her people to leave!

A bunch of beasts indeed.

Clearly a bunch of fish, yet they know how to fish...

Our shop owners are all dazzled by them.

The hard-earned money from them, you're all using to buy this batch of mostly useless paper books?

This time a few shop owners were drawn away, now thinking about it, during these three days they didn't make money, but actually gained quite a lot in magic coins!

"This place has great terror indeed."

"A bunch of money-grubbing fish who live only for money, their faith is in money, and everyone is cunning, very good at making money."

Bian Shuang took a glance at the city behind her, standing on the top of the ark, deep in thought:

"After a while, I'll communicate with other merchant ships and let them come here to do business."

"Moreover, 'X's Sacrifice as a Salted Fish' is indeed formidable. I'll sell it to all the Human Race's major cities' inns, let storytellers tell it, if the sales are good, I can come back to buy the copyright."
