Chapter 229: 229: About to Begin
Ten years of cultivation only required a thousand prestige points!
Jiang Xiaobai almost couldn’t believe his own eyes when he saw this. It was that cheap?
He even had to restrain himself from immediately using all of his prestige points to exchange for cultivation.
However, Jiang Xiaobai quickly calmed himself down.
It seemed affordable at first glance, but a careful understanding of the underlying rules would prove just how precious these prestige points were.
The reason why his prestige score was so high was all because of his reckless actions ever since he set foot in Four Seas City, where he had been causing troubles non-stop.
Undoubtedly, the main contributor to this was the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
When Jiang Xiaobai realized the importance of these prestige points, he didn’t immediately exchange them. If he wasted them recklessly, he might be left short on cash when he discovered something good and that would be a real pity.
Prestige points were vital for survival during a crucial moment.
Having collected his thoughts, Jiang Xiaobai decided to bide his time and not act recklessly.
Worth mentioning was that after this system upgrade, many great features had been added, with numerous modules appearing within the prestige function.
Besides the Prestige Store, there were also Prestige Scrolls, and the Baicheng War Simulator.
When he clicked on the Prestige Scrolls, he found them to be of a dull grey color, with a red exclamation mark on the first two scrolls.
“Congratulations to the host, for reaching a small optimum prestige level and obtaining one initial scroll.”
“Congratulations to the host, for reaching a high optimum prestige level and obtaining another initial scroll.”
After clicking on the two red exclamation marks, he heard the system’s voice in his mind, and the two scrolls changed from their dull grey color to a vibrant one.
They were filled with intricate patterns, and after taking a closer look, Jiang Xiaobai found that these scrolls could be pieced together like a puzzle.
The two scrolls also had a beneficial effect.
“Adding both scrolls together, my cultivation speed will increase by 2%?”
Jiang Xiaobai stared stunned at the description of the scroll’s effect. This was too overpowered!
Although 2% might not seem like a lot, cultivation was a gradual process. If Jiang Xiaobai cultivated for ten years, it would be equivalent to practicing an extra two to three months more than before!
The more time passed, the more time could be saved, significantly increasing Jiang Xiaobai’s strength in the long run.
For now, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to see the effect of collecting all the scrolls.
However, without collecting all of them, it was impossible to see the complete effect, as all the scrolls were in fragments.
But just by looking at the effect of these two scrolls, he could infer how exaggerated the effect would be when all the scrolls were collected. Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t contain the excitement in his heart at that moment!
System, oh system, you’ve finally been reliable for once.
This upgrade was definitely a jackpot!
Restraining the excitement in his heart, Jiang Xiaobai quickly opened the last feature—the Baicheng War Simulator.
“Baicheng War Simulator: Host can use this simulator to fight against projections of geniuses and prodigies from various planes.”
The introduction was quite simple. Besides a “Start Battle” button, there wasn’t anything else.
But this was also a good thing. Fighting against projections was presumably safe, and it would enhance his combat experience.
Risk-free battles that could offer the kind of combat experience and insights one could only get from life-or-death fights—this feature, if used correctly, was no less than the Fighting Battle Scriptures he had previously.
But, of course, he wouldn’t rashly use it at the moment.
“I’ll find an opportunity to try it out. This is simply a godsend. This system upgrade is amazing!”
Thinking about this, a maniacal grin spread across Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
“What are you thinking about?”
Just then, the annoyed voice of Xiao Yuwei beside him pulled him from his thoughts.
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, “Nothing much, I’m just overjoyed about serving
Princess.”
“Yeah, right.”
Xiao Yuwei replied coldly. Had it not been for Jiang Xiaobai’s previous tactics to deceive her, she might have believed his nonsense.
“We’re almost at Mad Demon City. Change your look. I know you’re proficient in a strange disguise technique. Don’t expose yourself.”
Xiao Yuwei scoffed, “Before you’ve accomplished a major task for me, you’re still a wanted criminal of the dynasty. If you don’t want to be attacked and killed at such a moment, behave yourself.”
“Once we enter the Mad Demon Secret Land, follow my instructions. If you do well, I promise you won’t lose out on any benefits. I can even hand over all the treasures obtained from the Mad Demon Secret Land to you!”
It must be said that Xiao Yuwei certainly had a knack for manipulation. Even while drawing a big pie for others, she wouldn’t make one feel displeased.
Because the pie she drew was really tempting. Handing over all the gains from the Mad Demon Secret Land was a temptation that not even several billions of top-quality spirit stones could match.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, “Rest assured, Your Highness. Do you think I, of all people, could still play any tricks?”
“That depends on whether you want to live or die.”
Xiao Yuwei sneered coldly, “If you dare to run away or mess around, I won’t mind exposing your identity and having everyone hunt you down.”
Jiang Xiaobai merely let out a sneer in response, his face showing no change in expression.
Just as he had suspected, this woman intended for him to become the scapegoat.
“Scapegoat, huh… Well, we’ll see who the deer falls to in the end.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered inwardly.
Soon, the flying device landed at Wuhai Academy in Mad Demon City. Anyone intending to enter the Mad Demon Secret Land had to gather at Wuhai Academy.
As it was time for the official opening in the evening, when Jiang Xiaobai stepped out of the flying device, the place was already flooded with people.
Aside from some onlookers, a considerable area was filled with people who had come to participate in the opening of the Mad Demon Secret Land.
There were many at the later stages of the Yuan Infant stage, quite a few at the Transcendence stage, and those at the forefront and drawing the most attention were a few figures at the Dividing the Gods stage.
Jiang Xiaobai took one look and averted his gaze.
He followed Xiao Yuwei into that area, where a Wuhai Academy elder immediately approached them reverently.
The way the elder behaved, it was almost as if he was treating Xiao Yuwei as his mother.
“Which descendants of the dynasty are present?” Xiao Yuwei asked indifferently.
“Your Highness, currently only the third prince has arrived, ” replied the elder.
“Third brother?” A look of trepidation flashed across Xiao Yuwei’s face..
