Upon hearing Tong Gua's explanation, Lu Wu and Bei Li burst out laughing, while Tong Gua looked constipated.
"Don't laugh. If you cultivate the Heavenly Art of Randomness to the extreme, you'll be qualified to become a god. Do you know how to become a god? The Demonic God is so powerful! "
Bei Li nodded with a look of understanding. She then waved her hand and a video appeared in the air. Tong Gua's shouting could be heard from the video.
"Crane can be humiliated but not killed, you can beat me and humiliate me, but please don't …"
Tong Gua was speechless.
Lu Wu was speechless.
"Can you delete it?" Tong Gua asked angrily.
"No!" Bei Li answered without hesitation.
"Can you let me out?" Tong Gua asked expectantly.
"No!"
"Then can you remove the soul contract?"
"No!"
Bei Li's reply infuriated Tong Gua, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Stop pretending, Big Goose. You should know what your value is. Now, I'll give you a choice. Let me modify your soul and put you back, or die here!"
It was not that Bei Li had not thought of directly modifying Tong Gua's soul. However, Tong Gua's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Ghost King Realm, and his soul had solidified. If she were to forcibly modify Tong Gua's soul, it would probably be incomplete. Hence, she could only resort to coercion.
Tong Gua glared at the two choices given by Bei Li and stomped his foot again.
"You really want to enslave This King? You should know that when the King of Beiqi was still around, he treated me as a distinguished guest. How about this, I'll be your subordinate, but forget about the Soul Enslavement. Let's both take a step back, and we'll see each other again in the future! "
The ability to modify souls was difficult even for the gods, but Tong Gua was not confident at all.
In Tong Gua's eyes, Bei Li was very mysterious. She was weak, but she was highly valued by the King of Beiqi. Under such circumstances, Tong Gua was really afraid that Bei Li had such an ability.
"Do I look like I'm negotiating with you?" The broadsword in Bei Li's hand gradually took shape.
"I heard that crane meat is delicious," Lu Wu interrupted from the side.
When it came to food, Bei Li's eyes lit up, making Tong Gua's feathers stand on end.
As the broadsword was slowly raised, the timid Tong Gua immediately began to beg for mercy.
"Stop, stop, stop! I agree, but you have to tell me what to do. "
Tong Gua's answer made Lu Wu and Bei Li smile.
"You'll know soon enough. Open your soul and let the power of the divine artifact pour into your soul."
As she spoke, Bei Li focused her mind. The invisible energy emitted from the artifact instantly locked onto Tong Gua and surged into his body.
"Big Goose, stop struggling. You don't want your soul to be incomplete, do you?"
Bei Li could not help but remind him while she was modifying Tong Gua.
The goose was sprawled on the ground, staring blankly at the sky in the Relic. It looked as if it had lost faith in the world and was trying to tell the goose to ignore it.
After half an hour of remodeling, Bei Li heaved a sigh of relief and said to Lu Wu happily,
"Wu, it's done!"
Lu Wu nodded and looked at Tong Gua, who was still lying on the ground.
After the transformation was complete, Tong Gua flapped his wings and stood up slowly, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Little Li, you actually dared to go against the rules of the three dimensions and control the strength of the mortals in the mortal dimension! You … you're too daring. Do you know what will happen if you're found out? "
Tong Gua had now become an NPC in the game, just like the Wood Spirit Clan. His soul was engraved with the content of Battle Online and the Reincarnation Contract that he could not reveal the existence of the artifact, Lu Wu, and Bei Li. Therefore, Lu Wu and Bei Li were not worried that Tong Gua would find out about this secret.
"You don't have to worry too much. You've already seen your mission panel. Just do your part. Since we dared to do it, we're not afraid of being found out!" Bei Li said confidently.
Tong Gua was terrified. He knew that if this matter was exposed, they would have to face the suppression of the Immortal Realm, and the end result would be the destruction of their souls.
Looking at his NPC panel, Tong Gua felt as if he had been dragged into a pirate ship. Moreover, it was the kind of pirate ship that would not allow him to leave.
[NPC: Tong Gua (Master Blacksmith)]:
The Ghost King of Beiqi's Illusory Land. After repentance, he voluntarily joined the Beiqi Army and is now the number one blacksmith in Beiqi.
NPC Ability: Complete Master Tong Gua's random missions or provide materials and spend a high amount of soul coins to forge a custom-made Epic Level equipment.
(Note: Provide King Level and above spiritual materials to forge a Legendary Level equipment)
NPC Requirement (Personal Check): Forge five pieces of Epic Level equipment or one piece of Legendary Level equipment per day (Failure to complete will result in obliteration!)
"It can't be. Five a day? Are you trying to tire me to death? If there's no business one day, I'll be dead for sure. Moreover, forging weapons of this quality requires soul cores. Where am I going to find so many soul cores?"
Bei Li chuckled when she heard that. She entered another message into Tong Gua's mind.
"Wow, soul power extraction, turning into soul coins. The player has a lot of soul coins!" Tong Gua's lips curled into a smile.
"Will I get a bonus for forging equipment?" The fear in Tong Gua's heart faded away. All that remained was his desire for soul power.
He knew how precious soul power was, but he did not expect the artifact to have such an ability. It could directly extract the soul power of a dead creature and turn it into its own.
Even though he had reached the peak of the Ghost King Level, soul power was still very important to Tong Gua. It was an indispensable aid for him to continue to improve his strength.
Bei Li glanced at Lu Wu and saw him nodding his head.
She then said, "The cost of forging an Epic Level weapon is set at ten thousand to thirty thousand soul coins. You can take 200 soul coins as a bonus for each weapon you forge."
Bei Li set the limit of five weapons a day to prevent Tong Gua from slacking off. Anyway, Lu Wu would provide the materials. Even if the weapons could not be sold, they could still be sold in the shop. Hence, there was no need to worry about wastage.
She had also taken into consideration the fact that Tong Gua could issue quests.
Although Tong Gua could rely on the ability to issue quests to drive players to do certain things, he also had to provide soul coins as quest rewards.
In order to ensure fairness, Bei Li had also set up an NPC monitoring system in the artifact to ensure that every issued quest and the corresponding rewards matched. Furthermore, NPC quests had to be reviewed by the monitoring system before they were issued. If the reward did not match the difficulty of the quest, the NPC would be rejected.
Lu Wu and Bei Li had considered this before. This was the first time it was officially running, and Tong Gua was the first NPC who could issue quests.
Of course, this improvement was also to improve the interaction between the NPC and the players, and to make the game more interesting.
Tong Gua, who was initially looking forward to it, immediately pulled a long face when he heard that it was only 200 soul coins.
"You get 70 and I get 30. I'm a ghost after all … I agree!"
Tong Gua agreed immediately with a bitter look on his face when he saw half of the sword hilt in Bei Li's hand.
"Little Li, what is this artifact? How can it be so powerful? If the King of Beiqi had this, he would be invincible! " Tong Gua was filled with curiosity. He could not understand what this artifact that could connect the Yin and Yang Realms, lock onto souls, and extract soul power was.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You're just an NPC now. Later, I'll help you build a forging room in the Mansion of the Dead. Get ready to work. You haven't completed your quest today!"
Tong Gua sighed when he heard that. He could not help but let out a long sigh in his heart. He had no choice but to lower his head when he was under someone else's roof!
"Don't be afraid, Big Goose. You'll be my follower from now on. Now that you know how powerful the artifact is, work hard and you'll have a good life every day!" Lu Wu smiled and patted Big Goose's shoulder.
"Who's this stupid cat? Your pet? A mount? "Tong Gua looked at Lu Wu in disdain.
After that, Tong Gua sized up Bei Li's height and took a closer look at Lu Wu. He made a guess with certainty.
He said confidently, "It must be a mount!"
Bei Li was speechless.
The smile on Lu Wu's face gradually disappeared, and the murderous intent in his heart increased …
