CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 204: REWARDING YOU WITH A BIG WATERMELON (COMBINED PART)

System: It has been detected that the host currently possesses 17,215 units of Molten Fire Crystal, meeting the construction requirements for a Basic Meditation Room of 15,000 units of Molten Fire Crystal. Would you like to renovate a room in the Martial Arts Hall into a Basic Meditation Room now?

"Renovate." Lin Qi looked at the possibility of renovating immediately and chose to renovate without hesitation, especially transforming the newly expanded third-floor training room of the Martial Arts Hall into a Basic Meditation Room.

Recently, the Martial Arts Hall recruited over a thousand construction workers to expand the hall. These workers, perhaps spurred by the players or due to other plans, worked with considerable dedication.

Originally projected to take a month, the expansion plan for the Martial Arts Hall is now nearly complete. The third floor is already built, and the first floor has three training rooms entirely crafted from B2 Level Ancient Bronze Ore alloy.

These three rooms attracted a lot of VIP identifications, allowing him to acquire a total of fourteen Energy Crystal Stones. The renovation for the Basic Gravity Room began yesterday and will be completed by tomorrow, while all ten Basic Training Rooms will be finished today.

Currently, the only part of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall remaining unfinished is the courtyard. Once this is complete, the entire Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall will meet the system’s advanced hall standards.

System: The renovation of the Basic Meditation Room will be completed in three days. Please wait patiently, host.

"Great! Now the Martial Arts Hall finally looks like a proper Martial Arts Hall," Lin Qi felt gratified seeing the system notification.

The first floor is occupied by the Basic Training Room and Basic Gravity Room, the second floor primarily serves as a resting area, and the third floor is the Basic Meditation Room. The entire Martial Arts Hall is now fully functional. From now on, not only can the players practice well, but the local residents can also train usually, without the need to risk their lives like the players do.

"Hall Master, have we completed our task?" Lin Xinyao couldn’t help but ask softly, seeing Lin Qi silent for a while.

As Lin Xinyao spoke up, Lin Qi remembered there were two waiting small players here.

"It’s completed, and we’ve even overachieved." Lin Qi nodded, smiling, "So besides your original reward, I’ll give you an extra reward."

"An extra reward?" Lin Xinyao heard this, looking at Lin Qi with excitement, curious about what extra good things Lin Qi would reward.

This task was accepted after the system update, so there was no difficulty rating. Still, she could be sure this task level wasn’t low because it was an ultra-high-level map, and the mechanical man was just too powerful, always one level higher than them, with combat skills reaching Entering the Micro level.

If not for Lu Fanchen’s creation of the Heaven-Shaking Fist, they wouldn’t have been able to complete this task at all; even if Luo Wushang and other martial artists came, they would have been defeated by the mechanical man.

The reward for completing such a task wasn’t really much.

Now, hearing there would be an extra reward made Lin Xinyao somewhat excited.

"Here, this is your extra reward." Lin Qi handed over a large watermelon that had been on the table for some time to Lin Xinyao.

"Is the extra reward just a large watermelon?" Lin Xinyao looked at the green watermelon identical to ones on Blue Star, dumbfounded.

To complete this task, they each likely died more than a hundred times in these days, and each death cost a 648.

Such a 648 on Blue Star could buy countless watermelons, yet they spent tens of thousands in the game Descent of High Martial to buy the feeling of eating watermelon?

"Hall Master, can we exchange for another reward?" Li Tianxing couldn’t help but look at Lin Qi.

Although eating watermelon in a 100% virtual game was a unique experience, he’d prefer to try it offline.

"The reward cannot be exchanged." Lin Qi shook his head, giving Li Tianxing a side-eye, "This time I gave you a large watermelon as an extra reward because you completed the task exceptionally. Do you think this is just a regular watermelon? It’s a watermelon with attributes."

"A watermelon with attributes?" Li Tianxing, after hearing this, couldn’t help but look curiously at the large watermelon in Lin Xinyao’s hand with astonishment.

"It really is! It’s a watermelon with attributes." Observing carefully, Lin Xinyao noticed that the thing indeed had attributes.

Qi Blood Watermelon: Eating one-eighth of it increases the Qi Blood limit by 30%, lasting for six hours.

"If you don’t want it, you can return it to me." Lin Qi didn’t hesitate to reach out to retrieve it.

This reward watermelon was drawn previously, and since it had been there for some days, he worried it might spoil, thus planned to reward it to the players.

Increasing the Qi Blood limit by 30% is a divine item for local residents, especially older martial artists whose Qi Blood has declined. These martial artists have no technical barriers; their inability to break through is only due to insufficient Qi Blood. With this Qi Blood Watermelon, they can effortlessly achieve breakthroughs.

However, Lin Xinyao reacted quickly. She immediately took a step back, turned, and ran out the door, naturally not allowing Lin Qi to take it back.

"Hall Master, I was just kidding about the watermelon, I love it!" Li Tianxing hurriedly explained, seeing Lin Qi planning to take back the watermelon.

Increasing Qi Blood limit by 30% is a fantastic aid for those at 100% proficiency in the Shocking God Breathing Technique First Layer like them.

If Lin Qi took it back, they wouldn’t know how long it would take to switch jobs.

Meanwhile, the players in the training field looked in astonishment at Lin Xinyao, who was running out of the hall master’s resting room holding a large watermelon, with a delighted expression on her face, leaving the watching players bewildered.
