16: Massive rewards for bug-solving! Blade and Soul

【Please select the 'idle time' for the player. Once the idle time is reached, you will be reminded to continue the game.】

"Oh? I can even set the idle time?"

Qin Chuan looked at the time points appearing before him, pondered briefly, and selected the idle time—

One year and three months!

The most important reason for choosing such a long duration was—the imperial examination.

The provincial examination (Recommended Man examination) happens once every three years, and there isn't one this year.

This is the best path to obtain fame, Haoran Righteousness, and even reputation; Qin Chuan did not want to waste too much time.

Of course, to have more ample preparation time, Qin Chuan left himself a one-month buffer so he wouldn't have to take the exam immediately upon arriving.

With that, after Qin Chuan finished selecting the 'idle' time, a timeline abruptly appeared before him.

"Hmm? This is..."

After a long while, he finally understood what this thing was.

According to the Reincarnation Simulator's introduction—the flow of time between different worlds is different.

For example, the concept from ancient myths of 'one day in heaven, one year on earth.'

However, the ratio between the Da Zhou World and the Main World where Qin Chuan resides is not that exaggerated.

Instead, it is—1:30.

Converted, one day in the Main World is equivalent to thirty days in the Da Zhou World!

Of course, this ratio is not fixed.

As the Da Zhou World gets closer and closer to the Main World, this ratio will become smaller and smaller.

Yes!

Although Qin Chuan did not know the reason, according to what the reincarnation simulation said—the two worlds are rapidly approaching each other, and their respective time flows are gradually becoming similar.

Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't figure out what's going on anyway."

As for the previous doubts, let's wait to explore them in the future!

Now—time to settle the rewards!

【Settling the rewards for this reincarnation.】

【Talent (Bonus): Tongue Blooming with Spring Thunder】

"As expected!"

Inside the martial arts hall bedroom, the returned Qin Chuan fiercely pumped his fist, his expression somewhat excited!

Looking at the re-drawn talent on the prompt, it proved that his idea of exploiting the bug had succeeded!

As the Bamboo Forest Map was a storage item, he had loaded all other items into it, yet it was still judged as a single item.

This made people very happy, as it meant Qin Chuan had a lot of room for maneuvering.

Just as he was preparing to open the Bamboo Forest Map in front of him to confirm that nothing inside was missing, he unexpectedly discovered something.

"Eh~"

His bright eyes flashed slightly, and everything in the bedroom was clearly visible.

But, at this moment, the bedroom lights hadn't even been turned on!

【Talent: Bright Eyes Night Vision.】

"Ha, at least it saves on the electricity bill."

Qin Chuan didn't know whether to say this talent was useful or useless, so he could only mock himself and continue checking his gains.

"Saint's Teachings", "Qingming", and "Celestial Change Treatise" were all inside.

The Heart-Clearing Jade Pendant was also safe and sound.

Qingfeng Sword.

"Damn, my silver!"

He saw that on the Bamboo Forest Map, the Qingfeng Sword was lying happily on a few pieces of broken silver, looking exactly like it had eaten until it was full.

The price Qin Chuan paid for this was—the pocket money Zheng had given him from his previous poetry writing and imperial examinations was now reduced to just those few pieces of broken silver.

"This isn't right!"

Qin Chuan clearly remembered that when he put them into the Bamboo Forest Map, he had specifically kept the Qingfeng Sword and that silver far apart.

But now.

"Did you go over there yourself?!" Qin Chuan pointed at the hilt and asked, heartbroken.

The Qingfeng Sword lazily shook its hilt, looking as if it didn't really want to pay him any mind.

This action undoubtedly made Qin Chuan confirm a fact!

— — This gluttonous sword possessed independent consciousness.

Or rather, it had a Sword Spirit!

A Divine Artifact!

If it ate the silver, so be it; it wasn't worth much anyway.

He searched the Bamboo Forest Map again and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a small box.

"You actually know what you can eat and what you can't!"

The ten taels of gold were still there!

Who would have thought, just as he took the gold out, he saw the Qingfeng Sword pointing its tip at the ground and hopping over from the corner!

It 'shook its head' in front of Qin Chuan, looking like it was waiting to be fed.

Qin Chuan: ...

Alright, it wasn't that it didn't want to eat, it just hadn't found it.

"Don't be greedy. In a couple of days, I'll find you a scrap metal recycling station so you can eat your fill."

— — When in the Da Zhou World, Qin Chuan had experimented; as long as it was metal, the Qingfeng Sword could absorb it; it didn't necessarily require gold or silver.

It was just that, even ordinary pig iron, under the production constraints of the Great Zhou, was quite valuable, so Qin Chuan hadn't bothered much with it.

The Main World was different.

Sure enough, after Qin Chuan finished speaking, the Qingfeng Sword flopped straight onto the ground.

It looked exactly like it was lying flat because it wasn't getting fed.

Sigh.

With a sigh, Qin Chuan found a small box and put it into his pocket.

Just as he was preparing to see if the other items also possessed miraculous qualities in the Main World, he suddenly heard movement outside the door.

After walking over, Qin Chuan quickly dodged backward.

"Bang!!!" A dull sound came as an iron rod slammed into the ground.

The other person couldn't see Qin Chuan's appearance clearly and was about to attack again.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan reacted quickly, hurriedly retreated a few steps, and shouted anxiously:

"Master, it's me, don't attack!"

"Xiao Chuan? Why are you back from the hospital? I thought it was that group of people."

The person who came was none other than Master Qin.

After the room lights were turned on, the two looked at the shattered floor tiles and fell into silence.

"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Master Qin put down the Vajra Pestle in his hand and asked, seizing the initiative.

"I... um, wanted to save some electricity."

Looking at the forty or fifty-catty Vajra Pestle, Qin Chuan wiped sweat from his heart, rejoicing that he had dodged quickly just now.

Unfortunately, Master Qin was not prepared to let him off so easily.

"Why are you back from the hospital? Didn't the doctor say you need to rest well?"

Regarding how to persuade his old Master, Qin Chuan had plenty of experience and immediately replied:

"I'm already better, if you don't believe me, look at the certificate issued by the hospital."

After finishing, Master Qin carefully looked at the hospital examination report and finally gave up the idea of dragging Qin Chuan back to the hospital.

Instead, Qin Chuan seemed to suddenly remember something: "Master, how are things going?"

Seeing him ask about this, Master Qin's expression became noticeably unnatural.

"...Don't worry about these things. Never do the foolish thing of forcing yourself to practice the breathing method again. Master will handle it."

Qin Chuan immediately understood the meaning of his words—

"In other words, it hasn't been handled yet?"

Master Qin sighed: "The land deed and property rights are all in the hands of others; how could it be that easy?"

Qin Chuan didn't commit to this, consoled Master Qin with a few words, and directly opened his own panel.
