CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 119: TIANYI TOURNAMENT (PART 11)

The atmosphere in the livestream room remained lively at night, with the eye-catching, flamboyant, colorful bold barrage making an appearance again.

//Sure-Shot Pill, increases hit rate by 60% within 300 seconds, patented medicine by Earth Rank Great Healer Li Xing, exclusively available at a shop on No. 9 Changan Street, welcome to make a purchase! Send ten effective bullet comments supporting the JustCause team and get a discount of 500 star coins on purchase!//

The backstage administrator quickly picked up a cup to obscure his view pretending not to see it. He was too lazy to block it, knowing that no matter what he did, the colorful barrage would reappear. There must be an internet whiz who’s far more skilled than him behind the scenes, so the little brother chose to give up.

//Damn, a new drug again, feels like the Tianyi competition is turning into Li Xing’s product launch.//

//But the Sure-Shot Pill is indeed godly, the difference before and after taking it is noticeable. For Elemental Spirits who excel in long-range attacks, this kind of medicine is definitely a cheating tool, who wouldn’t want to have it?//

//Isn’t there strict censorship for tournament comments, with all advertisement barrages getting blocked? What kind of hacker did that shop hire to bypass all those programmers in the event group so effortlessly?//

//No wonder all comments supporting the JustCause team have a colorful delay effect, turns out they hired a hacker!//

//...//

The chief of the tournament advertising department apologized to all the sponsor bosses while pressing the programmers to ban the shop’s account; otherwise, don’t expect sponsors to shell out money for ads in future tournaments.

On the field.

Cui Tianxiao, not caring about his image, whined while shaking Li Xing’s arm, "Xing, this medicine is too useful for me, give me some more!"

Li Xing nodded but added a reminder, "Didn’t make much, so I’ll give you one bottle. The side effects of this medicine are significant, don’t take too much. I don’t want you to feel great temporarily and then suffer from withdrawal, relying on drugs to increase strength is ultimately not the right path."

Cui Tianxiao readily agreed, "Got it, got it."

The harassment of the three-headed Zhu Yan took the team some effort and time, but fortunately, there were no dangers. Not far from where the Zhu Yan attacked, Qi Ming luckily found another clue, and the team continued on.

Tonight, the happiest person was Cui Tianxiao. At this moment, he was grinning ear to ear, holding twenty-two high-grade Crystal Stones.

"You tell me, how could there be such a magical Star Beast like the three-headed Zhu Yan, not only can it split its body, but even the Crystal Stones can be duplicated? If I knew they had this attribute, I would have let them split a few more times to get more Crystal Stones."

Ye Qingting poured cold water on him, "Don’t daydream, the original three-headed Zhu Yan was twelfth-grade, at least 85% of the Elemental Power in its Crystal Stone. However, look at the quality of what you’re holding, 70% Elemental Power is already good!"

Cui Tianxiao observed carefully, indeed as Ye Qingting said.

Ye Qingting, "Energy is conserved, the more the three-headed Zhu Yan splits, the weaker the Elemental Power inside the Crystal Stone becomes, no matter if it’s the usage effect or the exchange rate, they’re not as good as ordinary high-grade Crystal Stones."

Cui Tianxiao’s high spirits instantly fell, "tsk" he tossed the Crystal Stones into his spatial button.

Noticing his good brother was unhappy, Ye Qingting softened the blow with some sweetness:

"Don’t be upset, poor quality or not, they’re still premium Crystal Stones. Getting over twenty at once, even if you don’t want to use them yourself, you can exchange them for star coins. I’ll give you my share too, don’t keep that long face, it’s not camera friendly."

Cui Tianxiao immediately brightened up, hugging Ye Qingting’s shoulder and giving him a punch, "Thanks, brother!"

The two of them had been playing together since childhood, closer than blood brothers. Hugging shoulders and pounding chests was normal, but the fujoshi and fudanshi in front of the screen didn’t see it as pure friendship.

//Ahhhh, I’m dead, what kind of divine CP is this~~~~//

//Brother, kill me!//

//The sweetest male-male couple this year, Heavenly Court CP!//

//Please get married on the spot!//

//Heavenly Court! Heavenly Court!//

...

Qian Xiaowu was on the verge of a breakdown, he was just an octopus beast with eight arms, and even so, he couldn’t handle this barrage of CP-shipping wolfish words, sweating profusely, "Brother Yang, what do we do, I can’t block them all!"

Yang Dawei, being an experienced otaku, had seen it all before and calmly patted Qian Xiaowu’s shoulder, and said:

"No need to worry, Young Master Cui’s face looks like that, it’s hard not to make people think the wrong way. Let them ship CP, given Young Master Cui’s straight male nature and behavior, I’m sure netizens will soon realize they’ve matched the wrong pair."

——————

Every participating team has a Thousand Machine Tent, entering the tent means needing rest or an inconvenience for filming, and cameras are not allowed to follow, which is also the event group’s respect for all participants’ privacy.

At this moment, the Tianyi team had already camped and rested, and inside the Thousand Machine Tent, Lin Caier brought a cup of medicine to Chu Yunyi, speaking softly:

"Brother Yun, you look tired. This is a Spiritual Soothing Agent I made, please try it."

Chu Yunyi, keeping a straight face, sat up straight and smiled, "Cai Er, thank you, but you know my situation, soothing agents don’t work. You’d better not waste your energy making medicine for me."

Lin Caier took a quick glance at Jiang Yuesheng and An Qing, lowered her voice, and said:

"Brother Yun, the medicine contains Spirit Fruit ingredients, you can use it."

After the Red Hall incident, the "rumor" of Chu Yunyi’s Spirit Sea being injured was thoroughly debunked. Thus, taking Spirit Fruit had no doubts, and there was no need to hide it.

Lin Caier only learned then that Spirit Fruit was effective for Chu Yunyi and specifically asked Lin Zhian to take her into the Heaven-Reaching Tower to find a formula for preparing Spirit Fruit. Today, she brought it to please Chu Yunyi.

Chu Yunyi, "So it has Spirit Fruit, okay then, leave it here, I’ll drink it later."

Lin Caier shook her head charmingly, pushing the medicine once more in front of Chu Yunyi, and stated, "No way! My medicine must be consumed while hot, otherwise, the effect diminishes. Brother Yun, quickly drink it, no room for negotiation!"

Chu Yunyi, "... alright."

Even from far away, he could already smell the bitterness of the medicine mixed with the unique sour gelatin smell of the Spirit Fruit, causing his stomach to spasm reflexively.

Unfortunately, Lin Caier had great confidence in her medicine, and Chu Yunyi couldn’t refuse. He had to suppress his discomfort and gulp down the medicine.

Lin Caier eagerly watched Chu Yunyi’s face, as if trying to deduce the efficacy from his subtle expressions. But Chu Yunyi only slightly twitched his eyebrows after drinking, showing no other facial expressions, leaving her to inquire,

"Brother Yun, how do you feel, any better?"

Chu Yunyi, struggling to suppress nausea, nodded, "A lot better."

Lin Caier’s autumn-water-like eyes brightened, and she joyfully said, "Then I’ll make it for you every day from now on!"

Beads of sweat trickled down Chu Yunyi’s back as he hastily said:

"My spiritual power is unique, my mother has always advised me since childhood to take less medicine, lest it affects the stability of my spiritual power. Your medicine is good, but it should be used when necessary. This level of spiritual power consumption has little effect on me, so don’t trouble yourself, Sister Cai Er."

The term "Sister Cai Er" whisked away all of Lin Caier’s intellect; she nodded her head muddleheaded without giving much thought to the logic of Chu Yunyi’s words.

Chu Yunyi quietly let out a sigh of relief. Lin Caier’s pharmaceutical skills were not bad, but it depends on the comparison.

Take her soothing agent as an example; neither its taste nor efficacy could rival coffee. When you have Lingzhi, why bother eating mushrooms?
