There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 343
Chapter 343: 343. Designated Special Attribute Points
In the backyard of the Demon Sect, in the Small Study.
Fireflies at the back hill existed all year round, no matter the season.
Unless it was raining, they would come out to play at night.
Lu Xun pushed open the window, watching the fireflies flying around outside the room, waiting for the opening of the Contribution Points Mall.
He had already checked the forum just now. A few players, through some rare luck, had managed to kill some of the Foreign Race, and thus had amassed a small amount of contribution points.
For this reason, many players on the forums expressed eager anticipation for the opening of the mall, hoping to exchange their contribution points for some good stuff.
Lu Xun: “Keep dreaming.”
Given the nature of this crappy game, what can you get with contribution points in the single digits?
True, there was plenty of good stuff in the Contribution Points Mall. In fact, every item was of top quality. But they weren’t cheap!
“Thankfully, I’m loaded and sitting on ten thousand plus contribution points,” Lu Xun thought, feeling like he was on top of the world.
Have you ever felt during gaming updates that at the moment it’s going to hit 100%, suddenly things slow down?
Lu Xun was becoming impatient, and finally, the progress bar was full.
“Ding! Contribution Points Mall has opened!”
Lu Xun went straight into the mall, took a quick glance, and said to himself, “Just like when it first opened in my previous life, nothing has changed.”
The unique items in the Contribution Points Mall would occasionally be updated and added as the game version continued to evolve.
But from the very beginning, the mall housed a multitude of good items, it was well-rounded.
The only downside was that the price of every item was above 500!
Let’s not even mention ordinary players, even Tianhe Shangren who ranked second only had 600 points…
Lu Xun could almost imagine the wailing on the forums right now.
Of course, even more players were probably shouting, “Where are the Foreign Race? My big * is thirsting for them!”
Can’t help it, the items were expensive but their allure was undeniably strong!
And the steep pricing could be easily understood.
After all, players already got rewards when they killed the Foreign Race. Consider it as their wage being paid. Items exchanged with contribution points, those were like receiving a bonus.
It’s nice enough to have such system at all, stop hoping to leech!
As Lu Xun browsed through the items, he found each of them tempting.
There were quite a few relatively cheap ones, like the Yellow Level Equipment Upgrade Ticket, Blue Level Equipment Repair Ticket, Blue Level Random Skill Draw Chest, etc.
Seeing the luck-based chest, Lu Xun was reminded of his not so pleasant past experiences.
He was not as well-off in his previous life as he was now. As a Young Elder of the Demon Sect, he didn’t lack skill books.
But in his past life, it was different. He had opened so many of such chests that he had lost hope.
Why was his luck so bad even though he was pretty white-skinned?
He never got any good items!
Lu Xun directly ignored it and thought to himself, “You ignored me in my previous life, I’m not buying you this time!”
As a big shot with over ten thousand contribution points, he started flipping through the pages in the mall. The further on, the more expensive the items got!
When he reached the third page, Lu Xun stopped flipping.
The reason was simple, he found what he desired and coveted the most at the moment.
Special Attribute Points!
And not the random ones, but the kind that allowed you to assign points manually!
But this price was damn high!
One Special Attribute Point cost 10,000 Contribution Points, and this was just the price for the first purchase.
For the second purchase, the price would double to 20,000!
For the third purchase, it would double again to a frightening 40,000!
It’s terrifying!
Normally, players wouldn’t buy this stuff. There’s no need to mention why, the main reason was… they couldn’t afford it.
Poverty is hindering my development!
Most professional players have never bought this.
Even if I wanted to buy it, I wouldn’t do it till any particular special attribute point reached 5.
It would be too extravagant to rely on buying this thing to add points before reaching 5 points!
Of course, if even a particular main special attribute point hadn’t reached 5, one simply wouldn’t have the strength to accumulate so many contribution points.
When Lu Xun made the transition, only a handful of professional players purchased this. After each purchase, they would flaunt a screenshot on the forums, bringing countless exclamations and a barrage of harassing private messages from the foot-rubbing masses.
Lu Xun was a proud man and naturally not a member of the astonished crowd.
Yes, he was part of the send harassing private messages crowd.
Since he was making money off of “Heavenly Dust”, he was really looking forward to engaging in business cooperation with the big shots.
The serious kind of cooperation!
If it were in his previous life, he would have never dreamed that one day, at the time when the mall just opened, he would have the financial strength to buy special attribute points!
Instead of dwelling on it, he clicked on the exchange option immediately.
Soon, the numbers below changed and became [Total Historical Contribution Points: 13187 (Available: 3187)].
As previously mentioned, the value on the leaderboard totals your historical value and will not change due to spending.
After making the exchange, Lu Xun paused his actions, he didn’t immediately add points.
He decided to wait for a few days, for a sunny day to add the points.
The reason is simple; he planned to add the points to [Swordsmanship Aptitude].
And based on his usual experiences, due to his special characteristics, doing this would inevitably trigger extraordinary phenomena!
It’s not because on a sunny day, players are more active, and he wanted to show off in front of more people.
In fact, players on the forums are already discussing: “If Purple Palace also have the mall system, what could he buy?”
Although if he immediately added points, no player would suspect that he is a NPC who owns the mall but he decided to play it safe and not rush.
After all, the mall just opened a few minutes ago, and players are still very focused on it.
It will get better in a few days. After all, everyone can’t afford it for now, so what’s there to pay attention to?
Moreover, it’s common for Lu Xun to break through constantly, and players are already used to it…
Thus, Lu Xun, having nothing special to do, continues to browse other items in the mall, and after consideration, decided to save the remaining contribution points.
“No player thinks they can afford the second special attribute point. After all, the rate is as high as 20,000, it’s a pipe dream.”
“But I think I can,” Lu Xun said in his heart.
He believes he can get a few good rounds before the massive arrival of the foreign race.
Sitting on his bed, Lu Xun opened the [Designated Special Attribute Points] in his [Mall Bag], then a bunch of names of special attributes popped up, all marked with the option to [Add Points].
The special attribute column is in alphabetical order, and he had to scroll down for a while before he could see [Swordsmanship Aptitude].
Although he doesn’t intend to add points now, he wanted to browse through all the various special attribute points.
To see what kind of types there are.
Although he saw it on the posts in his previous life, since he has nothing to do, he decided to look again.
This can also be understood as someone who is so pleased with his treasure that he couldn’t help taking it out in the middle of the night to feel it a bit.
If you bought new clothes and shoes, even if you don’t go out, wouldn’t you try them on at home in front of a mirror?
While looking through, he saw [Charisma].
Regrettably, 10 points is the limit, and he can’t add more.
But as he continued to go down, his gaze stopped on a certain special attribute point.
“How could this be?” Lu Xun exclaimed in his heart.
Because what he saw was [Primordial Power]!
This is the primordial power that he generated after absorbing the pearl from the foreign race altar!
It wasn’t supposed to be on this list.
“Even that can be added too!?” Lu Xun was secretly amazed.
(Second update, the monthly ticket list is short, asking for monthly tickets!
Then I would like to recommend two books, no need to mention ‘Surgery Live Room’ right? The other book is a new work, ‘Badly Played Great Song’)
