Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1366 - 1050: Advanced Chain Schemes! Absolute Control!

Chapter 1366: Chapter 1050: Advanced Chain Schemes! Absolute Control!

The suffocating, intense, and strangely oppressive world at the base of Leifeng Tower, with searing heat rolling by, makes one feel breathless.

The Fire Qilin and the Fake Phoenix take turns unleashing their abnormal power, stirring up poison flames thousands of feet high in the Magma Pool, rushing wildly and venting onto the West Lake water flowing downwards, evaporating the lake water to create layers of thick steam and mist.

Piles of scorching magma eventually cool and turn into gray-black sandy soil, which falls to the ground. Each mound that forms a small hill several meters high is quickly pushed to the corners of the cave’s surroundings by Hui En Monk’s strong palm force, resulting in piles of sand and ash towering in the corners.

This process has continued for a full five days.

Even with the energy and strength of the Fire Qilin and Fire Phoenix, they are starting to feel deeply exhausted.

Furthermore, the magma in the Magma Pool below has dropped by more than ten meters in depth.

Jiang Dali has been overseeing this as if steaming in a sauna, without any mistakes during this time.

But now seeing the weary state of the Fire Qilin and Fake Phoenix, he knows that both beasts are already physically and mentally exhausted and may not last even ten days.

As early as the second day, the supporting Eighteen Divine Monk Relics had already completely consumed all of their energy. Now, he can only hope that the Fire Qilin and Fake Phoenix can hold on a little longer.

"If they can’t support it, there’s no other way but to let the West Lake water pour into the Magma Pool. It probably won’t reach the Earth’s core that quickly, and it’s difficult to cause a large-scale geological disaster by rapidly cooling the magma."

"And there are only eight days left until the day the Divine Stone is unsealed... only five days left until the ten-day deadline agreed upon with Yu Cheng’an."

"If the plan entrusted to Yu Cheng’an fails, then I must retrieve the Divine Stone within the next ten days, or we may not be able to prevent the catastrophe... unfortunately, I can’t know in advance where the Divine Stone is, otherwise, I wouldn’t be so passive."

Jiang Dali contemplated various plans in his mind, then got up and approached the Magma Pool, throwing a Nine-Turn Golden Pill to both the Fire Qilin and the Fire Phoenix to help the two exotic beasts recover their strength and resources.

This was the second time in five days that he had fed these two beasts the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

However, the greatest use of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill is to heal injuries, not primarily to restore physical strength and internal energy, so it could only serve as a slight aid.

After consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, the Fire Qilin and Fire Phoenix temporarily alleviated some of their fatigue and resource depletion.

Jiang Dali looked at the progress of the Save the World task on the power panel.

"Save the World Task: First Phase: Progress of material accumulation for filling West Lake’s natural hazard: 63%;

Second Phase: Progress of filling West Lake’s natural hazard: 0%."

"In five days, we’ve accumulated sixty percent of the materials. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to complete it entirely within the next four days.

However, I need to add more pressure and see how much potential these players can unleash, aiming to finish the accumulation of all materials in two days."

Jiang Dali strategized internally, opened the Jianghu Forum, and entered the Leshan Lingyun Cave and Divine Iron City sections, collecting information from the posts players made in these sections to assess the "market value and potential" of these leeks.

It was evident that many players in the Leshan Lingyun Cave were posting about their mining experiences on the forum during this time.

As expected by Jiang Dali, many players on the forum were boasting about the amount of Qilin Ore they mined daily, flaunting their achievements.

Remarkably, some had made record posts, with the most popular being a player named "Little Chicken Eating Eagle," who could mine about three hundred kilograms of Qilin Ore a day, earning the nickname Burst Liver Mining Brother.

"Hmph... only mining a mere three hundred kilograms of Qilin Ore, and already called Burst Liver Mining Brother by so many players? It shows how lazy these slackers really are..."

Jiang Dali scoffed as he noted this data, then looked at other posts with even less recorded, feeling quite dissatisfied with the players’ work enthusiasm.

After pondering for a moment, he immediately issued a new task directive on the power panel to encourage players to accumulate resources at a faster rate.

Soon after, in the Leshan Town’s Lingyun Cave, next to Hangzhou West Lake, and within Divine Iron City, many busy players suddenly received the new task instructions that appeared on their panels.

In the Lingyun Cave, the player "Human World’s April" was engrossed in mining. When he tossed aside his hoe and took a break to drink water, he checked the panel for the prompt.

"The changes in the sky are nothing to fear, the ancestors’ laws nothing to follow, people’s words nothing to heed.

No matter how high or low the work, ambition should remain unwavering, how can a man with goals afford leisure.

Your diligence has moved the Three Sects Alliance leader, the Black Wind Village Chief, reaching the condition to trigger the Save the World task’s advanced stage, upon completion enjoying advanced rewards.

Save the World Task Advanced Stage Requirements: 1: [Struggle without Ceasing] Within 12 hours of accepting the task, mine 300 kilograms of Qilin Ore and submit it to the NPC;

2: [Undying] Within 12 hours of accepting the task, place in the top three among all submitted players with your Qilin Ore (cannot acquire through mutual trading).

Save the World Task Advanced Stage Rewards: Completion of Task One [Struggle without Ceasing] rewards a 3 times price buyback of each kilogram of Qilin Ore based on the original price;

Completion of Task Two [Undying] rewards a golden hoe forged in Divine Iron City, 10000 contribution to Black Wind Village, a choice of any Rank 2 famous weapon from Divine Iron City’s foundry, and 2000 reputation with Black Wind Village.

Note: (Once you accept the task, you must complete at least one task, or it will be considered a failure and you’ll lose further qualifications for advanced tasks.)

Accept the task?

Countdown: Ten...

Nine...

"Pfft—"

Human World’s April spat out a mouthful of water in disbelief, eyes nearly popping out from the sudden appearance of the advanced task information, quickly accepting the task, first overwhelmed with joy, then rounding his eyes after calculating.

"What? Task requirement one already needs 300 kilograms of Qilin Ore mined? Shit! Besides that freak Little Chicken Eating Eagle, who else can manage that?"

Human World’s April was feeling despondent and speechless, immediately declaring this advanced task as dead, ready to toss it into the task bar to gather dust.

The task reward was good, no doubt about it, and the Black Wind Village’s 10,000 contribution points were tempting, but unfortunately, he was lazy.

One bit of laziness could make him ignore all these benefits.

However, the next moment, he couldn’t help but notice the message at the end of the task.

"Once the task is accepted, at least one task must be completed, otherwise it will be regarded as an advanced failure, losing the qualification for further advanced tasks..."

"There are further advanced task qualifications? Ah, this... this turns out to be a rare chain task? Now in the first stage’s highest reward for advancement, there’s already a second-grade famous weapon. In the next stage of the task, could there even be a first-grade famous weapon? This..."

Human World’s April looked down at the hoe in his hand, feeling grieved and moved, clenching his teeth.

Shit!

It’s rare to obtain the qualification for a chain task; it seems quite a waste not to do it!

Must do it!

At this moment, many players who received the advanced task prompt like Human World’s April almost all chose to work hard after figuring out the situation.

The Jianghu Forum also quickly started popping up related posts about the advanced tasks.

This new suspected chain advanced task appeared, immediately attracting the attention of all players.

However, the extremely high task completion difficulty also made many players complain, claiming it’s almost an impossible task.

Especially since this task actually prohibits players from completing it through mutual trade or assistance, making it impossible for players to try shortcuts, forcing them to work hard independently.

Jiang Dali looked at the reactions of many players on the Jianghu Forum and smiled proudly to himself.

A bunch of leeks!

Faced with an NPC like him, who was the grandmaster of players in a previous life, wanting to play tricks and exploit loopholes was impossible; he had fully grasped player psychology, first researching the market, then designing reasonable task content based on the overall performance of players at Lingyun Cave, Divine Iron City, and West Lake, practically applying big data to cut leeks.

To prevent lazy players from choosing to give up, he also set up thoughtful task "reminder segments," hinting that after this ring task, there are more powerful advanced tasks, all linked, indicating once this chance is missed, there won’t be another, so others will earn while you don’t, causing a huge loss. With this subconscious hint and stimulation, the lazy ones had to get up and grit their teeth to work hard.

"Hmm, now these players who have accepted the advanced tasks all look like they don’t want to work, actually they’ve already started working full force, this clever little misdirection, do they think I can’t see through it?"

Jiang Dali looked at many players on the forum complaining and grumbling, smiling inwardly.

He could confidently say these complaining players were shouting "I definitely can’t complete the advanced task today; even if I give up the qualification to continue advancing, even if I kill myself now, I definitely won’t endure hardship."

On the other hand, they had already started working frantically, laughing inside "I’ll fool you bunch of bastards to death; as long as someone believes my nonsense, I’ll have one less competitor and a greater chance to be in the top three."

However, no matter how these players play, Jiang Dali has always believed in one principle—"Leeks may lose, but the one cutting leeks, Dali, absolutely won’t."

Seeing the players’ enthusiasm and activity already being aroused, Jiang Dali couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

This stimulation method, used at key moments, is a decisive move achieving a one-hit final result.

Just as he was about to leave the forum, his gaze suddenly landed on an inconspicuous post in the West Lake section—"Mysterious foul-smelling old man appears in West Lake, claiming to meet the Black Wind Village Chief, is he crazy or a master?"

The post was quite popular, with many player comments.

Jiang Dali curiously clicked to view, finding the post contained two videos.

In the first video, on the West Lake path appeared an old man wearing a bamboo hat, a few players gathered around him and then dispersed. The filming player was clearly wanting to record and create buzz, joining in, streaming the process of triggering conversation and task.

Yet the old man kept saying the same thing—"I want to see the Black Wind Village Chief, can anyone help me?"

This dry task requirement, along with the laughter-inducing goodwill reward, naturally didn’t motivate many players to complete the task.

However, in the second video, the same player continued filming. The mysterious old man appeared along with a tall man wearing a bamboo hat, entering the tent area of the Three Sects Alliance office, seemingly received.

Such a scene naturally made players in the post speculate about the mysterious old man’s identity and his intent on meeting the Black Wind Village Chief.

"This person..."

Jiang Dali’s gaze fell upon the tall man with a bamboo hat in the second video, mind slightly focused, confirming the man’s identity, "It’s Po Jun..."

With his photographic memory, anyone he’s seen once, unless they’re extremely skillfully disguised, can be recognized, even in a video without sensing their aura.

Po Jun and a mysterious old man appearing to find him at this time, clearly isn’t ordinary.

Jiang Dali immediately decided to leave Leifeng Tower Base to meet these two, and determine their purpose...
