This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Jiang Liu stared at the upgrade interface of the [Divine Dragon Body], his fingers twitching involuntarily. He wanted to click, but dared not.

This is an abyss!
"Did the developers just copy the code from a private server of Legend of Mir and modify it a bit?"

Jiang Liu's lips twitched. Looking at the note on the interface that read "Not enough to reach -1000 Four Seas Dragon Clan Favorability", he felt his vision go black.
-
1000 favorability points. If you don't max that out, forget about ascending to the Heavenly Court. You'll probably be chased and hacked down for ten streets by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Four Seas Dragon Kings as soon as you step out of Wanlong Beach.

"I'll give it my all! It's just a matter of leveling up gods and demons. Back in the day, I couldn't afford to level up great gods and demons in private Legend servers, but surely I can afford it in Cultivation Era?"

Jiang Liu took a deep breath, his eyes instantly sharpening. He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and hardened his heart.

Open the window!
[System prompt: Do you wish to consume 1 spirit stones to upgrade [Divine Dragon Body - All Attributes]? Success rate: 50%]

"Yes!"

Jiang Liu clicked "confirm" without hesitation. A flash of golden light appeared on the screen, followed by a prompt.

Upgrade successful. All attribute levels increased by 1. Current level: 2. All attributes increased by 2%.

"Good start!"

Jiang Liu's spirits lifted, and he pressed on while the iron was hot.

[System Notification: Upgrade of [Divine Dragon Body - All Attributes] failed, consuming 1 Spirit Stones. Level -1, Current Level 1]

"Grass!"

Jiang Liu was so happy for only two seconds before his enthusiasm was dampened that he almost pressed his finger into the light screen in anger.

He gritted his teeth and clicked again. This time he was lucky and succeeded three times in a row, instantly boosting all his attributes to level 4.

But good luck obviously wouldn't last. When all his attributes reached level 10, the nightmare began. He failed eight times in a row, and his level dropped from 10 to 3. He watched helplessly as 20 spirit stones went down the drain.

"You damn game designer! You secretly changed the odds, didn't you?!"

Jiang Liu slammed his fist into the air, but the dragon phantom beside him remained expressionless, as if watching a clown's performance.

"Calm down, calm down, you need to stop when you're feeling sullen."

Jiang Liu forced himself to take a deep breath and switched to the [Defense] attribute to begin upgrading.

Perhaps because of the change in the path, the defensive attributes progressed smoothly, and it only took 30 spirit stones to reach level 20.

For the next few hours, only the roar of the river and the alternating sound of system notifications echoed in the core area of ​​Wanlongtan.

[System Notification: Upgrade of [Dragon Body - Damage] failed; level dropped from 35 to 34]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 40]

[System Notification: Upgrading [Dragon Body - Spiritual Energy Limit] has failed 5 times consecutively, reducing your level from 28 to 23]

"Fuck your grandpa!"

Jiang Liu looked at the level of the spiritual energy limit and his mentality completely collapsed.

He has already spent 4000 million spirit stones, but the highest level of his five attribute lines is only level 45, which is still a long way from level 500.

Oh, it's not 40 million spirit stones, it's 4000 spirit stones.

But 40 spirit stones is a lot!
"No, this can't go on. We have to think of a solution."

Jiang Liu stopped clicking and began to recall the techniques for playing the legendary private server's "Gods and Demons" mode.

Use low-level upgrades to increase the success rate!
Only a sacrificial knife can save him now!

He switched to level 1 for all attributes, clicked three times in a row, failed twice and succeeded once, then immediately switched back to level 30 for maximum spiritual energy and decisively clicked to upgrade.

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Spiritual Energy Limit], current level 31]

"It's done!"

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed his advantage, using this wave of good luck to click ten times in a row, instantly raising his spiritual energy limit to level 50.

With the help of techniques, the leveling speed became significantly faster.

[System Notification: Upgrade of [Dragon Body - Damage] failed; level dropped from 173 to 172]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 187]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Spiritual Energy Limit], current level 139]

Success, success, success; failure, failure, failure.
The 50% success rate is genuine; it often succeeds several times in a row, which shows that the planners did not secretly change the success rate.

But the problem is that there's a 50% chance of failure!
Sometimes you succeed several times in a row, and sometimes you fail several times in a row.

One minute you've successfully leveled up, and the next minute you've lost it all! Who can stand that?!
Jiang Liu's face darkened as he frantically tapped his fingers. Time ticked by, and he had lost track of how much time had passed.

His psychological journey began with grand pronouncements, then turned to silence, and finally to rambling nonsense.

"Damn it, we failed again!"

"Ganni's scheme!"

"What kind of garbage system is this? Can't it function like a human being?!"

"I was wrong, child, I know I was wrong, please, please give me a full comment."

"Waaaaah, I can't take it anymore, I promise I'll never scold you again."

"That damn plan!"

The spirit stones flowed like water, and Jiang Liu continued to burn them for a full day and night before finally stopping. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the interface of the Divine Dragon Body, his expression filled with indescribable excitement.

[Divine Dragon Body]

[All Attributes: Level 498]

[Defense: Level 499]

[Damage: Level 500 (Perfect)]

Maximum Health: Level 497

[Spiritual Energy Limit: Level 499]

Waaaaah, I finally got a full bar!

The moment Jiang Liu saw the damage indicator maxed out, tears welled up in his eyes, and he almost burst into tears.

Divine Dragon Body!

50% success rate: Success results in upgrade, failure results in downgrade!

Level 500 maximum!
Level 500? Holy crap!

Is this something a human could come up with?
Even the legendary private server only dares to reach level 10!
Please, developers, let's be human! Humans shouldn't mess with each other, okay?

"Just a few more hits!"

Jiang Liu clenched his fist, suppressing his excitement, and gently tapped it with his trembling fingers.

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - All Attributes], current level 499]

It worked again!

Great!
All attributes are just one level away!

Don't ride the roller coaster!
Charge!
[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - All Attributes], current level 500 (Perfected)]

"Hehehe! Hahaha! Another one full!"

Jiang Liu couldn't help but laugh wildly, and immediately pressed his advantage, clicking on the next item.

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Defense], current level 500 (fully upgraded)]

Holy crap, it worked again!

Another one full!
What happened? Did you get a new shipment?
"Don't rush, don't rush."

Jiang Liu exhaled a deep breath and placed his trembling finger on the Divine Dragon Body—maximum health points.

Then, I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth.

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 498]

It worked again!

Just one level away!

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 499]

Just one level away!

Do it, sir!

Jiang Liu roared in his heart.

[System Notification: Upgrade of [Dragon Body - Maximum Health] failed, level reduced to 498] "Damn it! I even lost a level on the last hit!"

Jiang Liu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Damn it, it's the last level, can't you let me have a moment of joy?

He continued clicking furiously with a dark expression.

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 499]

[System Notification: Upgrade of [Dragon Body - Maximum Health] failed. Current level: 498]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 497]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 496]

Jiang Liu: “.”

Three more losses!
Waaaaah, what are you trying to do? Are you going to drop to level 490?

Are you trying to ruin a rising star in the Heavenly Court?!
[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 497]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 498]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 499]

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Maximum Health]. Current level: 500 (Perfected)]

"Phew, that scared me to death."

After a large number of health points were maxed out, Jiang Liu breathed a long sigh of relief, and the heart that had been in his throat finally settled down.

That scared me to death! He thought we were going to have to go through this cycle of success and failure again.

"Just one more spiritual energy limit to reach."

Jiang Liu looked at the spiritual energy limit of the Divine Dragon Body. Since there was only one level left, he didn't hesitate any longer and started leveling up immediately.

Do it, sir!
Even if I become a master, I still need to spend another 10 billion spirit stones!
[System Notification: Successfully upgraded [Dragon Body - Spiritual Energy Limit], current level 500 (Perfected)]

The moment the last attribute line lit up to level 500, the entire Wanlong Beach suddenly trembled violently. The liquid dragon energy river surged with towering waves, and nine mini dragon-shaped water columns spiraled and flew into the river, merging into his body.

[System Notification: Congratulations to player Jiang Liu! All five attributes of the Divine Dragon Body have been perfected.]

Final damage +10%

Final damage reduction +10%

Attack speed +10%, movement speed +10%, casting speed +10%

Cooldown reduction +10%

[Heavenly Court - Dragon Clan of the Four Seas Favorability +50]

"Finally full!"

Jiang Liu plopped down on the ground, feeling utterly exhausted but his face was full of excitement.

His current attributes are already ridiculously high. Just the numerous attribute bonuses brought by the Divine Dragon Body, plus the wings, costumes, titles, and bloodlines he bought before, he is confident that even if the Tribulation Transcending stage comes, he can fight against it without using the invincible bloodline skill.

Just then, the dragon phantom finally made a new move.

He slowly raised his hand, and a treasure chest wrapped in golden light appeared in front of Jiang Liu, at the same time a system notification sounded.

[System notification: Congratulations to player Jiang Liu for purchasing all items in the Dragon Clan Shop, unlocking the ultimate reward gift. Do you wish to activate it?]

"Activate! It must be activated!"

Jiang Liu clicked confirm without hesitation, his heart filled with anticipation. After all, he had spent so many spirit stones, the ultimate reward couldn't be too bad, right?

The golden light faded, the treasure chest opened, and inside lay a dragon-shaped jade pendant and an ancient manual.

【Name: Token of the Four Seas Dragon Clan】

[Grade: Lower Grade Immortal Grade]

[Type: special props]

[Entry 1: After wearing it, one can freely enter and exit the territories of the Four Seas Dragon Clan without any restrictions.]

[Entry 2: Summon Dragon Clan Reinforcements (once per day), can summon 1 dragon clan reinforcement that is one major realm higher than the user, lasting for 1 hour]

[Note: This is the supreme token of the Four Seas Dragon Clan. Those who possess this token are considered honorary members of the Dragon Clan.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

I spent over a billion spirit stones just to become an honorary member of the Dragon Clan, right?

【Title: The Dragon Classic of the Four Seas】

[Grade: Lower Grade Immortal Grade]

[Type: Cultivation Technique]

[Entry 1: Cultivation Speed ​​+500%]

[Entry 2: Dragon-type skill damage +300%]

[Entry 3: After learning this technique, no dragon-type creature (excluding special bosses) will attack you on its own initiative.]

[Note: The Four Seas Dragon Clan has accepted your friend request fee. From now on, you are a friend of the Four Seas Dragon Clan.]

"Friendship fee? That's practically a tribute!"

After seeing the notes on the Four Seas Dragon Scripture, Jiang Liu couldn't help but complain.

Do you think I really want to make offerings?
Do you think I did this voluntarily?
If I could do it all over again...emmmm, I would still buy all the shares, since the increase in combat power is really significant.

"A celestial-level cultivation technique that instantly increased cultivation speed by 500%."

Jiang Liu muttered something under his breath, a hint of disappointment on his face.

A dragon's token and a cultivation technique that accelerates cultivation—this is the ultimate benefit?
It feels very ordinary.

Oh well, it's free anyway, so there's no point in asking the planners for anything.

Expecting the developers to give away good stuff is no better than spending real money yourself.

Jiang Liu shook his head. Just as he put the Dragon God's token back into his backpack, the entire space was suddenly enveloped in dazzling golden light, and the system notification sounded like thunder in his ears.

[System Notification: Player Jiang Liu has collected all items from the Dragon Clan Shop and possesses the Four Seas Dragon Clan Token, thus meeting the requirements for the hidden class change to [Dragon Sword Master]]

Jiang Liu: “????”

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

"What did I see? What did I see?"

"Hidden professions? There are actually professions in the cultivation era?!"

Jiang Liu was stunned, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the job change quest that popped up in front of him, not knowing how to react for a moment.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds, one minute
He was stunned for a full minute before he reacted, and then he burst out laughing.

Laughed.

He made me laugh in exasperation. (End of Chapter)
