A Game for Everyone: I'm Using Different Flames to Play Overload!

Upon seeing the system message, Yang Shan burst into tears.

Since meeting Xiao Xun'er in a dream in version 2.1, her favorability rating has remained at 32 points.

Yang Shan waited until version 3.1 before he had the opportunity to increase his favorability rating again.

Two whole major versions!

The wait has been agonizing!

With a solution to the predicament in hand, Xiao Xun'er was overjoyed and took the initiative to say:

“Junior brother, we can plan the Purple Immortal Pavilion matter later. The Myriad Treasures Imperial Treasury is an extremely rare opportunity. The Ancient Wilderness that has been opened this time is currently limited to the highest level of Dou Zun. So theoretically, there is a chance to find treasures that can help Dou Zun break through to the Half-Saint realm faster! We must seize this opportunity!”

Yang Shan immediately replied:

"Yes, I must seize this opportunity to rise to the top and break through to the Dou Zun realm! Senior, do you have any communication tokens on you?"

Xiao Xun'er was puzzled:

"What do you need the voice transmission token for?"

Yang Shan: "If I ever run into something I can't beat, I can come to you for help. I'm thick-skinned and not a chauvinist. If I'm in trouble, I'll definitely ask my senior for help!"

Xiao Xun'er: "Then why don't you act with me?"

Yang Shan: "Senior, you're already a three-star Dou Zun. If I go with you, wouldn't that be holding you back?"

Xiao Xun'er shook her head:

"No, I'm the senior, it's my duty to help the junior! I have to keep you by my side no matter what."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shan looked at Xiao Xun'er with a meaningful expression.

I kept watching until Xiao Xun'er's cheeks flushed a second time:

"Why are you staring at me, junior?"

Yang Shan: "It's because the senior is pretty."

Xiao Xun'er: "To tell the truth."

Yang Shan: "I'm just telling the absolute truth!"

Xiao Xun'er: "Don't try to fool me, just tell the truth."

Yang Shan: "But senior, it seems you didn't tell me the truth either."

The two of them were like tai chi practitioners, pushing and pulling back and forth in various ways.

Finally, Yang Shan spoke first:

"Senior, do you really want to keep me by your side just to help me out?"

"Of course it is."

Xiao Xun'er couldn't hold back her laughter as soon as she finished answering; she was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Alright! I do have some other ideas. How did you figure that out?"

Yang Shan: "Senior, you're not good at lying to begin with. Besides, you can't fool me. Among all the top students in your class, not one of them knows you as well as I do."

"That's true."

Xiao Xun'er said earnestly:

“I think you’re different from the geniuses of our ancient eight clans. You’re not only powerful, but you’re also smart. You’re even more skilled at using underhanded tricks than the Soul Clan. With you by my side, I don’t have to worry about being targeted by others.”

Yang Shan crossed his legs:

"anything else?"

"And also, I always feel happier when I'm with my juniors."

Xiao Xun'er spoke with exceptional sincerity, and she seemed to be particularly looking forward to adventuring with Yang Shan, just like before.

Yang Shan pretended to be deep in thought:

"How is the revenue split calculated?"

If those geniuses from the ancient clans were to see this scene, they would probably all activate the "Emperor's Seal Technique" and slap it onto Yang Shan's face!

The Xiao Xun'er they always saw only two expressions!

But Xiao Xun'er's expression towards Yang Shan was like a constantly changing face, changing every few moments!

Xiao Xun'er even took the initiative to say that she wanted to act together.

This guy actually wants to discuss profit sharing!

They actually want to discuss profit sharing!

He deserves to die!

But when Yang Shan proposed a profit-sharing arrangement, Xiao Xun'er was not surprised at all.

This is how she perceives her junior classmates.

The rule that talking about money hurts feelings seems to have no effect on him.

But Xiao Xun'er really enjoyed discussing profit sharing with Yang Shan.

Those who want to monopolize the benefits are greedy.

Those who don't seek personal gain are mostly driven by ulterior motives.

Discussing profit sharing is what constitutes cooperation!

Only then can it be considered proof of the effort and mutual trust between the two parties.

This is Yang Shan; no one else has given Xiao Xun'er the same feeling!

"I am seven and you are three?"

Xiao Xun'er gave what she considered a reasonable profit-sharing ratio.

Yang Shan nodded readily:

"Okay, thank you for your help, senior."

When Xiao Xun'er saw Yang Shan agree, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up:

"Okay, then it's settled!"

After leaving Canaan Academy, Xiao Xun'er had always hoped to meet Yang Shan again and spend some time together.

Whether it's competing for resources or simply enjoying sightseeing, it's all fine.

Anyway, by her junior's side, she can always be Xiao Xun'er!

"Senior, what is your current combat strength? I need to know your specific situation before I can formulate a corresponding plan."

"Me?" Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment:

"I haven't received the clan mark yet, so I can't use bloodline techniques. Therefore, I don't know my current combat strength."

Yang Shan: "How many of those Ice River Venerables could you take on?"

Xiao Xun'er: "Without using the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, it's a sure win, but fighting two of them would be a bit tricky."

Yang Shan: "Then what about using the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame?"

After much deliberation, Xiao Xun'er gave a somewhat non-standard answer:

"Three or four, I guess."

Yang Shan: "."

If we substitute the equivalent values, then if Xiao Xun'er, who is now a three-star Dou Zun, were to go all out, she could defeat three or four Tang Zhens.

Tang Zhen must never find out about this; it would be too much of a blow!

But what followed was, of course, ecstasy.

This is hardly a collaboration!

This is clearly a case of the senior student carrying the team!

If another round of replacements were to take place, Xiao Xun'er's overall combat strength would probably be even stronger than that of the Nine Heavens Venerable of the Soul Palace!

Surpasses a Seven-Star Dou Zun and rivals an Eight-Star Dou Zun!

Thinking of this, Yang Shan couldn't help but ask another question:

"Senior, is your Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame particularly fast at refining medicinal power?"

Xiao Xun'er nodded:

"Correct."

Yang Shan immediately took out the Heavenly Fragrance Grape he had previously snatched from his storage ring:

"Then, senior, you should refine this thing first, and increase your strength a bit. Then we can probably roam freely in this ancient wasteland!"

Xiao Xun'er quickly refused:

"Junior brother, you mustn't! This Heavenly Grape Fruit is extremely precious; even our ancient clan doesn't cultivate it."

Yang Shan skillfully peeled the skin off the Tianqin grapes:

"I haven't reached the Dou Zun level yet, so I don't need it. It just so happens that the Tianqin grape fruit looks similar to grapes. Open your mouth, ah!"

When Xiao Xun'er heard "Open your mouth, ah," her mind hadn't even processed it before her mouth was already open.

This has become a conditioned reflex!

The grapes are sweet and delicious, which is Xiao Xun'er's favorite grape flavor.

Sensing that the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was already autonomously helping Xiao Xun'er refine the medicinal power, Xiao Xun'er didn't even have time to say thank you before quickly sitting down cross-legged.

In fact, the ancient clan cultivated many spiritual plants of heaven and earth.

There are even sacred medicines that can benefit even a Dou Sheng powerhouse!

However, whether it is a spiritual plant or a pill made from a spiritual plant, the stronger the effect of the pill, the stronger the drug resistance.

Especially for spiritual plants that enhance cultivation, most lose their effectiveness after the second use.

Gu Yuan had already arranged everything for Xiao Xun'er, including what stage she was at, what pills she should use, and what spiritual plants she should consume.

Because of drug resistance, even though Xiao Xun'er's divine bloodline has enough inherent potential to reach the Dou Sheng level, the ancient clans do not have enough types of top-tier spiritual plants to supply her.

Therefore, the geniuses of the ancient clans, during their "rapid potential" period, rely 40% on resources and 60% on cultivation.

The reason why the geniuses of the eight ancient clans participated in the Five Hundred Years Grand Event is that many of the resources that emerged during the Five Hundred Years Grand Event were not available within the eight ancient clans!

Especially for spiritual plants or elixirs, as long as they are different types, there is no problem with drug resistance.

This can greatly shorten their training time.

Take this Tianqin Grape Fruit for example. It's an eighth-tier rare spiritual plant that can increase the level of Dou Zun experts below the late stage by one star!

As long as the potential hasn't been exhausted, this one Heavenly Grape Fruit can save a Dou Zun expert from ten or even decades of arduous cultivation!

Taking a gamble and saving thirty years of arduous cultivation—how could such a temptation not cause those Dou Zun powerhouses to fight each other?

Only ten minutes after Xiao Xun'er began meditating, Yang Shan could clearly feel that the aura emanating from her was about to surge into the sky.

However, this power was only just revealed before it was quickly withdrawn!

Xiao Xun'er's cultivation level also advanced from a three-star Dou Zun to a four-star Dou Zun!

The potential of her divine bloodline and the refinement of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame allowed Xiao Xun'er to break through at a speed that surpassed that of players who consumed level-up pills!

Xiao Xun'er opened her eyes and took out the map crystal from her storage ring:

"Junior, which light spot do you think we should go to next?"

Yang Shan was taken aback and also took out the map crystal from his hand.

When the two map crystals came together, they instantly merged into one.

This larger map crystal not only displays a larger map area, but also increases the number of light spots from five to fifteen!

Moreover, three of the light spots were not white.

It's gold!

Yang Shan chose the closest golden spot of light:

"Senior, let's go here!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Xun'er was eager to repay Yang Shan's "debt of gratitude," so she didn't hold back. She gently hooked Yang Shan's arm, and with a flick of her finger, she opened a spatial rift.

The distance of over three hundred miles was covered in less than thirty seconds thanks to Xiao Xun'er's spatial teleportation!

Both are large golden chests, and both contain treasure-guarding puppets.

However, the standard combat power of this treasure-guarding puppet has reached the level of a six-star Dou Zun.

"Junior, just help me finish with one more 'Remnant Spirit Hundred Howls', and leave the rest to me."

Seeing that Xiao Xun'er was about to make a move, Yang Shan quickly said:

"Senior, wait! Don't rush in so readily. Come on, follow me, let's back off first."

Perhaps because the interaction between the two made Xiao Xun'er feel so natural and comfortable, she didn't even realize that she was being led by the hand!

Once they were at a suitable distance, Yang Shan said with a serious expression:

"Senior, this treasure-guarding puppet has a detection range. Let's use our battle qi to activate our battle techniques here first. Once the techniques are ready, we can launch a surprise attack with our movement techniques. This way, we can unleash powerful battle techniques that would otherwise require a lot of time to activate in an instant!"

Even while explaining, Yang Shan was still holding Xiao Xun'er's hand!

But Xiao Xun'er didn't seem to sense anything was wrong. She let Yang Shan lead her and listened attentively to his explanation.

[Ding! Player, please note that you have achieved the special achievement "Holding hands with Xiao Xun'er for five minutes". Xiao Xun'er did not show any resistance towards you. Xiao Xun'er's favorability +3, current favorability: 40!]
