281: Pointing Stars and Deriving Heaven

Xu Le wasn't used to scamming people. Without Ghost's help, the Paper Control Technique, even after his modifications, could only be considered a decent technique. He had to find precious spiritual Materials to make spiritual paper.

Finally, after a professional inspection by Xiao Qian, Xu Le sold the Paper Control Technique for 1,800 contribution points, and he would enjoy a 50% commission for life.

It wasn't that it was cheap, but that contribution points were highly valuable.

In the Xuanwu Treasure Vault, Xu Le looked up the most expensive Cultivation Technique inside, called the "Star Pattern Deduction Technique," which cost exactly 2,000 contribution points.

"Are your paper figurines for sale?" Ye Beixuan asked again.

"What's the price?"

Xu Le thought the "Star Pattern Deduction Technique" was pretty good. It claimed that once mastered, one could know the past, understand the present, and even glimpse the future.

If he really learned it, he could look up at the stars, calculate with his fingers, and know where powerful evil spirits were hiding.

That Spirit Turtle from before was quite good, but unfortunately, it was killed by the Golden Buddha.

That Golden Buddha really deserves to die!

Oh, he's already dead. That's good then.

Ye Beixuan said, "You make paper figurines quickly and conveniently, and their strength is decent. However, our Xuanwu Legion... (200 words omitted)"

Xu Le's head throbbed as he listened and quickly called for a stop. After hundreds of words, it could be summarized in four: poor but wants it.

"Just tell me the price."

Ye Beixuan: "The price is negotiable. Your paper figurines are powerful, and I won't let you lose out. After all, you're one of us..."

Xu Le's head hurt. He had previously thought the guy was a tough, straightforward man, but now it seemed he was a damn iron rooster. Circling around without naming a price, he definitely wanted to get a huge bargain.

Xu Le couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him and continued scrolling through the prices of similar items in the "Xuanwu Treasure Vault." After some comparison, Xu Le took the initiative to state a price.

"10 contribution points each."

"Good brother! You will always be my, Ye Beixuan's, best, best brother. Look, the most precious thing in our Xuanwu Legion is the Legion Commander. How about you do it for two years?" Ye Beixuan rubbed his hands excitedly.

Xu Le looked at him with disdain: "I haven't finished. I'm talking about a purchase limit. The first purchase for each person is 10 contribution points, the second is 20, and it doubles each time."

Ye Beixuan was stunned!

This guy is a damn profiteer!

He originally wanted to buy 100 to play with, but after calculating, 10 paper figurines, even if the change was rounded off, would cost ten thousand contribution points.

After some bargaining, the price was finally fixed according to what Xu Le said.

After all, for many novices, Xu Le's paper figurines were absolutely the most friendly—bar none—novice Divine Artifact.

Combat power at the Peak of the Bright Moon Realm was the lifetime ceiling for the vast majority of Spirit Tamers. Yet, it could be obtained by doing two or three simple tasks. The survival rate would surely increase by 20 percentage points, and that was only because the Xuanwu Legion didn't assign death missions in the first place.

However, the cost was that for Xu Le's first time listing the product, he needed to provide ten thousand paper figurines.

"Ahem," Ye Beixuan rubbed his hands and pointed at sailor moon. "I think that paper figurine is pretty good. How about making one for me based on that template? No, two."

Xu Le chuckled: "No way!"

Ye Beixuan opened his wallet and pointed to a photo inside: "What about this one?"

The photo was of the real-world idol star Zhao Ziyi, dressed as Meng Qianqian in a red dress.

So this is the kind of person you are, Ye Beixuan.

Xu Le's gaze was narrow and playful as he refused again: "No! I'm afraid they'll ask me for copyright fees!"

Ye Beixuan: "..."

Xu Le smiled: "With your status, even if you went out and brought the real person here, it would be very simple, wouldn't it?"

Ye Beixuan shook his head: "You don't understand! I only like this Meng Qianqian."

Xu Le gave a thumbs up: "Impressive!"

To respect a noble person, Xu Le took out ten sheets of paper from his paper ring and quickly folded 10 Meng Qianqians. He took the liberty of making two of them in sailor suits.

"How about two more with black stockings and high heels?"

"No, that wouldn't be right, would it?" Ye Beixuan stammered.

Understood, arranged!

Men's friendship is just that simple; it might just be two 2D characters.

Ye Beixuan excitedly transferred twenty thousand contribution points to Xu Le: "Brother, don't think it's too little. Your big brother..."

Xu Le waved his hand: "It was just a small favor. These are my gifts to you; I can't take these contribution points."

After some back and forth, Xu Le finally accepted 3,000 contribution points before waving goodbye.

In the car on the way back, Xiao Qian spoke up curiously: "Commander, when you came this time, weren't you planning to let him take over as the captain of Team 96?"

Ye Beixuan sighed: "You're still too young! When we met, I changed my mind and decided to let him take over Xiao Yu's position as captain. But when I tempted him with the position of Legion Commander, he didn't even blink. He clearly has no intention of joining the Xuanwu Legion."

Xiao Qian was speechless: "Then did they just make things worse this time?"

Ye Beixuan shook his head: "No, they shot themselves in the foot—with a thousand-pound boulder!"

Xiao Qian even felt that "Mount Tai crushing down" was more appropriate. Previously, Yu Gang was the captain of the 11th Team, only one step away from entering the top ten numbered teams, which would have significantly raised his status.

But success and failure are fleeting; now his life and death are unknown... It has to be said that the Xuanwu Legion's app is very practical. Not only does it have task reminders, but it also has the Xuanwu Treasure Vault, similar to a certain 'Bao' from his previous life. Whatever you like, you place an order, and after the contribution points are deducted, the goods are delivered to your door very quickly.

Because they were all at the Xuanwu Base, it was within the same city, so orders could be delivered within half an hour.

However, Xu Le didn't need to wait half an hour. He ordered a Cultivation Technique. After 2,000 contribution points were deducted, an e-book of the technique popped up immediately.

"So damn trendy! In this godforsaken Spirit Realm, they actually set up the internet and online shopping."

Xu Le couldn't help but marvel at how awesome the pioneers who came to the Spirit Realm were, and he began to read the Cultivation Technique.

At the very beginning was a reading notice in red and bold. The reader needed to agree and type the following content into the box.

[The copyright of the purchased Cultivation Technique belongs to the Xuanwu Treasure Vault. No individual has the right to disseminate or pirate it. Violators will face a penalty from the Xuanwu Legion of no less than ten times the purchase price. In severe cases, they will be hunted down by the Xuanwu Legion.]

Xu Le: "..."

No wonder they take a 50% cut of the sold techniques. How conscientious!

He continued reading the main text below.

Volume One: Names of the Stars in the Sky.

Looking at the dense text, an ominous feeling welled up in Xu Le's heart.

Then he looked at the page number: [Page 1/111].

That should be the whole book, right!

Xu Le thinking, clicked on the table of contents to choose.

Volume Two: Common Constellations.

He immediately looked at the page number: [Page 1/269].

The content included tens of thousands of miscellaneous details, such as different brightnesses of the same constellation and different star arrangements.

Xu Le: "..."

He continued flipping through the table of contents.

Volume Three: Meanings of Special Constellations.

Page number: [Page 1/89].

...Volume Twelve: The Intricate Connections Between Constellations and Individuals.

Page number: [Page 1/3698].

Xu Le: I give up!

The contribution points have already been spent; I might as well read it slowly!

If I had known this thing had so many words, I wouldn't have bought it at all.

Compared to Divine Abilities, Xu Le felt that the technique in his hand was more like statistics, recording and categorizing various phenomena.

It wasn't until after ten volumes that it slightly touched upon the relationship between constellations and individuals.

"I'll read it slowly later."

Xu Le opened the treasure vault, planning to get some Spirit Medicine to boost his cultivation or some interesting Spirit Treasures.
