Chapter 79: Dividing the Spirit Stone
The big catfish and his little brothers were all pulled in, and a huge cauldron was also delivered to Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen dismissed his men, then breathed out the red lotus fire and started making fish soup.
When the fish meat was almost mature, Luo Zhen added the seasonings and stirred it for a while, and soon a pot of delicious fish soup was freshly baked.
The big herring and the carp demon had already found an excuse to leave. After all, Luo Zhen ate fish, and they were also fish. When they saw the fish in the pot, they always felt like a rabbit dying and a fox dying.
Therefore, Luo Zhen enjoyed this pot of delicious food all by himself.
It didn't take long for Luo Zhen to eat all the fish, and then he burped with satisfaction.
Why did Luo Zhen cook the fish in a big pot instead of swallowing it directly?
There are two reasons for this. One is that after cooking and adding seasonings, the fish tastes more delicious, and Luo Zhen can enjoy the addiction of eating delicious food.
The second reason is that if Luo Zhen eats it raw, it will activate the phagocytosis function of the system.
In this way, Luo Zhen will get the messy weak abilities of Big Catfish and others.
Luo Zhen didn't like big catfish at all, so he simply cooked it before eating it.
Do you really think that any monster can fall into Luo Zhen's eyes? Luo Zhen will devour every monster he kills?
Innocent!
Luo Zhen is now a top-quality spiritual snake with some of the abilities of the Nine Infants, while the big catfish and the others are just the most ordinary fish!
Even if Luo Zhen really wants to devour monsters, they must at least be monsters with powerful abilities. As for ordinary monsters, they should be made into food and eaten.
After burping, Luo Zhen called the fish demon butler over.
"Master Snake, what are your orders?" the fish demon steward said respectfully.
"Please tell me in detail about the situation of this ten-mile water shop, such as how many spiritual stones can be earned every month, and how much wealth Big Catfish and the others have accumulated before, and where the wealth is placed. Tell me one by one. Make it clear. Luo Zhen said.
The fish demon butler did not dare to neglect and quickly explained the situation in detail.
About ten minutes later, the fish demon finally explained everything clearly. Luo Zhen nodded, and then said, "Except for keeping the necessary monthly expenses, bring me all the remaining spiritual stones and elixirs." "
"Also, call me the big blue carp and the carp demon."
"Yes!" The fish demon replied respectfully.
Not long after, a large number of spiritual stones and elixirs were moved in front of Luo Zhen, and the big herring and the carp demon also came.
"Brother Snake, what are you doing?" Big Blue Fish asked in confusion.
"We have occupied this territory, and naturally we have to divide the wealth." Luo Zhen smiled, then pointed at the pile of spiritual stones in front of him and said, "These spiritual stones are all the wealth that Shili Shuipu can mobilize. You and the carp demon Everyone gets one-tenth, and I want the remaining eight-tenths, which is four-fifths. Do you have any objections?"
"Give us so much!?" Big Blue Fish not only had no objection, but was surprised, "Brother Snake, the carp demon and I had no contribution at all before. It was you who built this territory on your own. We can't divide these things. "
"Yes, Brother Snake, we didn't even fart, we just watched the excitement. If you give us the spirit stone, we deserve it!" The carp demon on the side also said.
The big herring and the carp demon were telling the truth. In fact, they really had no reason to want these things. After all, they were just making soy sauce next to them.
Luo Zhen smiled and explained, "These spiritual stones are considered your wages, so you can accept them without any worries!"
"Salary? What do you mean?" Big Qingyu said, "Brother Snake, please explain the matter clearly, otherwise we really don't dare to ask for your things."
"That's it. I plan to be a hands-off shopkeeper and focus on my cultivation. As for the trivial matters on the territory, I will leave them to you two." Luo Zhen said, "For example, training young men, patrolling the territory, collecting rent from those merchants, etc." All these things are done by you. "
"And I will concentrate on practicing and improving my strength. Therefore, these things are your salary, and each of you will get a tenth share every month."
"So that's it," the big herring breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the carp demon and said, "If that's the case, then I'm embarrassed to accept it."
"Then I'll take it too." The carp demon hesitated and took his share.
Luo Zhen smiled. With the help of two helpers, the big herring carp demon, he could let go completely and concentrate on his cultivation.
"By the way, Brother Snake, I heard that you have to pay spirit stones to General Green Frog every month. Have you reserved those spirit stones?" Big Qingyu suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements." Luo Zhen said, "Not only the spiritual stones for General Green Frog, but also the wages for my subordinates."
"After all, they are messing around with us. How can we not pay our juniors?"
"What you're saying is, I'm relieved if you arrange it this way." Da Qingyu said.
After talking for a while, the big herring and the carp demon went out to familiarize themselves with the situation. Luo Zhen looked at the pile of spiritual stones in front of him and smiled, then rolled his tongue and swallowed a few spiritual stones into his belly.
"You refined a low-grade water attribute spirit stone and gained 500 experience points!"
"You refined a low-grade water attribute spirit stone and gained 500 experience points!"
"You refined a low-grade water attribute spirit stone and gained 500 experience points!"
The system's voices sounded one after another, and before long, Luo Zhen converted all the spirit stones into experience points.
"Experience points and evil spirit values have all reached the critical point, meeting the upgrade requirements, do you want to upgrade?" The system's voice sounded again.
"No!" Luo Zhen refused directly.
There are two main reasons for refusing to upgrade.
The first reason is that Luo Zhen's current strength does not rely on upgrading, but on his beast fire Red Lotus Fire, and Red Lotus Fire has nothing to do with whether he upgrades.
The second reason is that Luo Zhen wants to suppress experience.
Because once upgraded, the experience points gained by hunting the same monster again will plummet.
For example, Luo Zhen is now in the early stage of the Earth Profound Realm. He can get about 1,000 experience points by killing a monster in the same early stage.
But if he is upgraded now and becomes the middle stage of the Earth Profound Realm, then hunting monsters in the early stage again, the experience points he gets are estimated to be only 200 to 300 points.
The gap is still very large!
What's more, even if he upgrades, it will not have much impact on Luo Zhen's current strength, because his strongest means is the Red Lotus Fire, which makes Luo Zhen even less willing to upgrade.
As for why he didn't suppress experience before, it was because Luo Zhen had no choice!
He had been facing very dangerous survival pressure before. He had to upgrade if he could, because if he didn't upgrade, he might die. He had no time to press experience!
Think about the miserable situation that Luo Zhen had been through. He was chased in the misty swamp, and was chased in the mountains near the county town. He was still chased in the Mingyue Mountains!
Even the reason why he came to this Black Water Lake was that he was chased all the way.
Now he is forced to grab territory in the chaotic waters.
But fortunately, Luo Zhen has the Red Lotus Fire, a killer weapon, and he doesn't have to worry about danger in a short time, so he can relax and press experience.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Luo Zhen opened the system map and began to think about the next plan, which is to start external expansion!
External expansion can not only kill powerful monsters, thereby gaining a lot of experience points, but also occupy territory and collect a lot of rent!
"The attacking force cannot be too strong, otherwise there will be a bloody battle, but it cannot be too weak either. Too weak monsters cannot provide me with experience points."
Weak monsters will not provide experience points to Luo Zhen. In fact, Luo Zhen had thought about collecting experience points by killing weak monsters on a large scale before.
But the problem is!
Killing small monsters will not give you experience points at all, or in other words, the experience points you get are zero!
Take Luo Zhen now for example. Luo Zhen will not get experience points if he kills monsters in the Yaoqi realm and Yaoyuan realm. Even if he kills monsters in the higher level Yaoling realm, the experience points he gets are only in the single digits.
For example, one or two points of very little experience points.
It is precisely under the restriction of this rule that Luo Zhen must kill monsters of the same level or stronger monsters to gain experience points and thus upgrade.
If we use a conversation to describe Luo Zhen's mood at this time, it would be the following paragraph,
"Why do you have to kill monsters to level up?"
"There is no experience value, so you must do it. If you don't do it, there is no experience."
"Then won't you kill the little monsters? You are so strong."
"It is impossible to kill little monsters. I can't kill little monsters in this life. I can't beat big monsters. I can only maintain my life by killing slightly stronger monsters."
"So do you think urban life is better or in the other world?"
"Entering the other world feels like going home. I go home once a year. I don't go back on New Year's Eve. I just go back to see what happens at home. It feels much better to be a snake in the other world than at home!"
"Why?"
"It's boring to be alone at home. I don't have friends to play with. Everyone in the other world is talented and speaks well. Wow, I love being in the other world!"
