Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills

The Diamond Sutra: A Buddhist sutra. After using, you will gain 1 point of Enlightenment (can only be used once).

Relic: The relic left behind by an eminent monk after he passed away. After using it, your cultivation will increase by 5,000 points.

A sutra that could increase his enlightenment and a relic that could increase his cultivation. Both of them were exceptional items that couldn’t be bought with money!

“These two items should be worth the same. The only difference is that one is for your long-term development while the other can instantly increase your combat ability. Let’s go 50-50. Ladies first. You can take your pick.”

“How is that possible?” Youyou shook her head firmly. “You were the one who found these items. I didn’t help at all. I can’t take the relic!”

Ye Weiming sighed helplessly and silently used both the items.

Actually, he was just being polite just now. He was just testing the lady’s character.

Such things could only be done once.

If not, the lady might really have been touched by his sincerity.

In that case, he would make a huge loss!

Ding! You have used the relic. You’ve received 5,000 points of cultivation.

Ding! You have read ‘The Diamond Sutra’. Enlightenment +1.

His cultivation immediately reached a new high. Ye Weiming immediately opened his skills page and started leveling up his ‘Daizhong Way’.

Ding! ‘Daizhong Way’ is a special sutra. You’re unable to use cultivation points to level up.

What?

He couldn’t use his cultivation points to level up ‘Daizhong Way’!

He remembered the irritating activation criteria for this sutra. It seemed like if this sutra was cultivated in the normal way, no one would be able to complete the mission.

Every time he successfully activated the sutra, he would only be able to increase 1 point of proficiency. However, in order to activate it, he had to answer 10 math questions! That meant that if he wanted to gain 1,000 proficiency, he needed to do 10,000 math questions!

This would only allow him to jump from level 1 to level 2. What happened if he wanted to move to a higher level?

He wasn’t playing a game.

He felt like he was studying for his university entrance exam!

The most important thing was, this increase of 1 proficiency was calculated based on the best-case scenario. In reality, during a battle, there were many unexpected situations that could arise. If he put all his focus on doing the math questions, it was the same as seeking death.

Fortunately, he was still able to increase the proficiency of this sutra through analogy. Otherwise, it would be too inhuman!

He went back the same way as he came. Along the way, Ye Weiming used the cultivation points to increase his expiration exercise and ‘Sword of the Yue Maiden’ by one level. After that, the cultivation he just accumulated was only left with a single digit.

Equipment

(Not listing out everything)

…

Based on Ye Weiming’s current attributes, he would be able to survive one arrow from the Zhuge Celestial Bow in Youyou’s hand without instantly getting killed.

Well, probably…

They came to the entrance of the underground palace. Ye Weiming turned the lever and the secret passage was opened. Then, he followed the chain steps and climbed up. Every step he took caused the chains to clang loudly.

However, halfway through, arrows started plummeting down on him furiously. They landed violently on Ye Weiming’s body.

– 42

– 39

– 95

…

Among the numbers, there was even a critical hit. These arrows instantly took away a sizable amount of Ye Weiming’s blood.

“What the f**k!” Ye Weiming was astounded. He hurriedly released the chain and his body landed in the underground palace. Then, he immediately shifted to the side and moved away from the range of vision from the entrance of the secret path. Then, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly took out a pill from his bag and swallowed it. His expression became gloomy.

Without even asking, he knew that the two of them were being ambushed by other players. They were stuck in this underground palace that only had one entrance!

At this moment, Youyou took out the Zhuge Celestial Bow and rushed to the bottom of the entrance. She aimed her crossbow at the top before waving her hands at Ye Weiming. She was telling him that she couldn’t see any enemies at this angle.

Coincidentally, they heard the voice of a lady coming from outside the underground palace. “That little girl’s reaction was really fast. I just started attacking, but she had already jumped down. I didn’t manage to kill her; she escaped!”

From what the person was saying, they had mistaken Ye Weiming for Youyou.

“It’s alright!” Another voice was heard. This was a lady’s too. The lady who spoke later comforted the first lady and asked her to keep calm. Then, she raised her voice and shouted to the people below, “Youyou, we don’t have any evil intentions.”

They tried to kill them with their ambush but now, she was saying that they had no evil intentions?

Ye Weiming glanced at Youyou. This young lady is really funny.

On the other hand, Youyou’s expression was extremely dark. She said in a low voice, “You’re Poached Spicy Pork Slice!

“Oh! Youyou, you make it sound so distant. I still remember that a while ago, you were calling me Senior Sister Pork Slice, right?” The lady outside laughed sweetly. Then, she suggested, “However, I don’t care how you address me. I just want to make a deal with you. We will give 50 Gold to you for that Zhuge Celestial Bow in your hands. Junior Sister Youyou, what do you think?”

Youyou gritted her teeth furiously. “50 Gold for the Zhuge Celestial Bow! Why don’t you be a bandit?”

Poached Spicy Pork Slice laughed when she heard this. She said arrogantly, “Look at what you’re saying. Am I being a bandit now?”

“In your dreams!”

“Junior Sister Youyou, don’t get agitated. You can consider my offer slowly. I’m not in a rush.” Poached Spicy Pork Slice appeared very confident as she continued, “However, I think that there must be a time limit for you to return the Zhuge Celestial Bow, right? I suggest that you consider my offer carefully. If you wait until your mission is over and you fail the mission, you will be exiled from the clan. At that time, all the powerful NPCs will chase you and you will have nothing to gain.”

Youyou’s face was extremely black. Ye Weiming asked in the team channel, “What happened?”

“I got tricked!” Since they were both trapped in this place, Youyou didn’t hide the truth from Ye Weiming. She replied, “Actually, if I’m not sure where Chen Ming’s hideout is, I will not take this five-star mission. I managed to find out that he was hiding in the Leifeng Pagoda through another mission. That was the mission that Poached Spicy Pork Slice ‘unconsciously’ revealed to me when we were having a casual chat!”

After hearing her explanation, Ye Weiming briefly understood what happened.

“How is she so sure that she will get the Zhuge Celestial Bow if she kills you?”

“There is a 100% possibility of getting the Zhuge Celestial Bow during the mission. Hence, the real danger begins after I get the Zhuge Celestial Bow. Before I take it, I will only lose my rewards if I fail the mission. I will also lose the right to take this mission again. However, after I take the Zhuge Celestial Bow, I will be viewed as a traitor if I don’t return it to my clan within the allocated time or if I drop it!”
