Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 41 I'll Pay Back the Money

When Lu Chaoding woke up, it was already afternoon.

After a quick wash, he remembered that he had acquired a [Flying Insect Sword], so he took it out to examine it.

=====

Weapon: Flying Insect Sword

Star rating: One star

Class: Sword Immortal, Sword God

Refinement Level: +0

Attribute bonus: Attack power +0, Bite attack +1!

Note 1: This sword is so small and delicate that it is as thin as a flying insect, hence the name "Flying Insect Sword".

Note 2: Collecting three flying insect swords will automatically synthesize a two-star flying insect sword and maintain its refinement level.

Note 3: The bite attack is a special attack with fixed damage and is not affected by buffs or debuffs.

Note 4: Iron Crystal Sand can be used to refine Flying Insect Swords. A one-star Flying Insect Sword can be refined up to +1, and it will be bound after refinement!

"A magical weapon with +0 attack power! A bite attack?"

Lu Chaoding took the Flying Insect Sword to the training room.

There was an immortal wooden stake in the training room, which served as a damage testing target. Attributes could be set, such as health, defense, and resilience. Lu Chaoding set it to 10,000 health, 0 defense, and 1 resilience, and then began the damage test.

He quickly realized that the Flying Insect Sword was indeed very peculiar. When wielded, it was like a small metal dragonfly. No matter how high Lu Chao's attack power was, it could only deal a fixed amount of damage, but it still had the effect of breaking toughness.

In addition, the sword shadows created by [Splitting Light and Shadow] also resemble flying insect swords, making Lu Chaoding wield this sword as if controlling a swarm of insects. The attack power of the sword shadows is unrelated to Lu Chaoding's attack power; it is only 10% of Lu Chaoding's attack power, and the damage dealt is much higher than that of the main body of the Splitting Light Sword.

"This sword isn't without its merits; the key is whether it can be upgraded. If it's upgraded and becomes part of a set, and then copied by the complete 'Splitting Light Sword Shadow' set, then even without any increase in attack power, the sword shadow attacks alone can deal explosive damage. But in any case, it's not possible yet!"

Lu Chao shook his head. His strongest weapon at this moment was still a refined +3 two-star commoner's sword.

A moment later, Lu Chao released the [Moon Shadow Azure Dragon] into the cave. The Azure Dragon transformed into a miniature version, only one meter long, occupying the small pond on the right side of the cave courtyard, providing the cave with a full 30 points of spiritual energy.

The Boiling Blood Lion Dog was very curious about its new neighbor. It ran to the edge of the pool and stretched its neck to look into the water. It was impossible to stop it. It looked like it was about to jump in and catch the Azure Dragon. It even stopped playing with the Blood-Regenerating Grass.

The little green dragon appeared very nervous and frightened, hiding at the bottom of the pool and not daring to show its head. Only after the Boiling Blood Lion Dog had run far away did it quietly peek out of the water and take a small look at the cave and courtyard.

As for the Earthly Deity Moon Shadow Azure Dragon's abilities within the cave, those are merely functions!

The system's explanation is: "She can be appointed as the steward of Lu Chaoding's exclusive cave dwelling. Once she becomes the steward, she can manage the local deities within the cave dwelling efficiently and systematically, thereby improving their productivity or service quality."

"Her? Could the Moon Shadow Azure Dragon be female?"

Lu Chaoding found it very interesting.

As for the [Little Clam Spirit], Lu Chaoding also released it to check its cave dwelling ability. Its cave dwelling ability was quite ordinary, only producing luminous pearls, which could increase the cave dwelling's spiritual energy index by 5 points.

Lu Chaoding still needed to hunt night beasts at night, so after a while, he re-equipped himself with the Earth Deity [Little Clam Spirit].

After leaving the cave, Lu Chao went to run the [Mountain Throne] dungeon ten times, but the rewards were mediocre.

By this time, the sky was already slightly dark, and it was approaching night.

Lu Chao reached the mountaintop camp to check out Niu Daren's supply shop. There wasn't much worth buying in the shop, so he shook his head and rode the Great Xuan Sword down the mountain.

He still plans to go to the beach to hunt nocturnal beasts tonight.

While passing by Lion Cliff, Lu Chaoding encountered Zhao Weike and his group.

"Top Bro!"

Upon seeing Lu Chaoding, Gu Xiaoxiao ran over with a beaming smile, saying, "Brother Ding, here's a hundred gold coins! Don't hit me during the sword competition tomorrow!"

After saying that, he threw a small pile of gold coins in front of Lu Chao.

Lu Chao's expression turned cold.

What does that mean?

To drop a hundred-yuan note on the ground and have yourself pick it up?

What do you consider yourself to be?

He immediately put away the hundred gold coins, considering it free money, and decided not to refuse it.

At that moment, Zhang Defa, who was not far away, burst into laughter and said, "Gu Xiaoxiao, this is a bribe. Brother Ding will be the first to beat you up tomorrow!"

Gu Xiaoxiao said dismissively, "My bribery was successful, yours was an attempted bribery, they're different!"

Zhang Jiaqiang gritted his teeth and stepped forward, angrily throwing two hundred gold coins at Lu Chao's head, saying, "Pay back your debt, and don't hit me tomorrow!"

Xiao Ning followed over and said, "Here's the 200 gold for the skill book. We're even. If you help me get the Sword Tournament reward tomorrow, I'm willing to give you another 300 gold. I mean what I say!"

"I'm willing to pay four hundred, Brother Ding, please help me!"

Xiao Panpan also ran over, tossed down two hundred gold coins, and said, "I believe you are a clever AI!"

"Shrewd my ass!" Zhao Weike said with a look of disdain, "His behavior logic is absolutely chaotic. It's pointless for you to pay back your money. I'll leave it at that: as long as I don't disconnect, Brother Ding will still beat you up the way he always has tomorrow. I'm not paying back the money, let's see what he can do! Let me tell you something else: Niu Daren's supply shop may have high-level items available. That's when gold will be useful. Also, after the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament ends, the trading house will open. At that time, having money means having equipment."

Zhao Defa exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Qunzi, you're saying this in front of Brother Ding? Aren't you afraid he'll beat you up?"

"He's just an AI, what am I afraid of?" Zhao Weike said arrogantly.

Wang Yingluo said, "Sigh, judging from Ding Ge's actions, he really doesn't seem like a real person. His behavior logic is hard to judge. According to the price he set, I still owe him 2000 gold. If I can not pay it back, that would be great, but what if he kills people if I don't pay it back... I'd better pay back 500 first, since it was also from the Glory Treasure Chest anyway."

After saying this, the swordsman who had been forced to sell the [Sacred Heart Technique] and [Horizontal Slash] skill books by Lu Chaoding walked up to Lu Chaoding, clasped his hands together in a gesture of worship as if praying to Buddha, and then threw 500 gold coins on the ground.

Lu Chao, expressionless, bent down to pick it up.

Finding money is nothing to be ashamed of.

He actually found these alien players quite interesting. He was just too lazy to communicate with them, so they treated him like an AI. Lu Chaoding didn't intend to explain, and he found it quite amusing.

Zhang Defa then said, "This time I'm not doing anything. Let's see if Brother Ding will beat me up tomorrow! By the way, Zhao Qunzi, what's the plan for tomorrow? Are we still going to beat up Brother Ding together?"

"Otherwise what?"

Zhao Weike said, "If we don't fight him together, we won't have any chance to get the tournament rewards. Gu Xiaoxiao was lucky today; Ding Ge either disconnected or lagged, but we can't rely on that. Also, I suggest we go jungle together tonight?"

"Jungling? Hunting night-stalking beasts?"

"good!"

"That's extremely risky!"

"How can we get stronger without taking risks? If we team up and only stay near the camp, we shouldn't have any problems. Anyway, if we don't hunt Night Beasts, we'll all be suppressed by Top Bro, the AI!"

Zhao Weike paced back and forth, wanting to say something, when suddenly everything went black before his eyes.

From the perspective of the other players, Lu Chao, whom they regarded as AI, circled around behind Zhao Weike, suddenly took out a tattered sack, covered Zhao Weike's head with it, then quickly tied it up, put it on his back, stepped onto his flying sword, and ruthlessly rode away.
