After everyone had left, Xu Nian was relieved and immediately started his plan to have children with the Blood Demoness.

The Cultivation Realm was becoming more and more dangerous; he needed to leave an heir soon.

「It was the second day since the players had come online.」

After a tiring day, the Players were refreshed and began to receive their rewards.

One Thousand Contribution Points in hand—it was indeed a considerable amount of money for the Players.

With the appearance of the Realm-Breaking Pill, the Players were filled with conviction.

Breaking through Realms had suddenly become much simpler.

With the Realm-Breaking Pill, they no longer needed to waste Contribution Points on breakthroughs.

It was at this time that the System's online update appeared.

[Version 3.8 Update: Players who have reached the Nascent Soul Realm will no longer consume Contribution Points to break through Realms; future breakthroughs will be determined by the amount of Spiritual Qi.

The reward of Contribution Points will also be further reduced; whether killing the Sea Race or Demonic Beasts, the Contribution Points obtained will be reduced to ten percent of the previous rewards.

Reopening of the Spiritual Stone exchange feature, direct linkage between Contribution Points and Spiritual Stones, exchange rate of one-to-one.]

This update seemed minor, but to the Players, Contribution Points were indeed becoming excessive.

After all, Task rewards were still available, and Players still possessed their earned rewards. The issue was that every player now had at least One Thousand Contribution Points, with few immediate uses for them.

Many Players were saving up their Contribution Points for the Fourth Test.

After all, the Third Test had started over one month ago, and the Fourth Test definitely wouldn't be far off.

But now, breakthroughs didn't use Contribution Points and had switched to Spiritual Stones. Even the Contribution Point rewards had been reduced.

For those Players waiting for the Fourth Test, this was indeed a Thunderbolt in Clear Sky.

"Fuck, this update is toxic! It's directly cut off my money-making route!"

"From my checks, the Fourth Test probably won't arrive soon. It might still take about a month, right?"

"I noticed too. They've really opened up a large Map for the Third Test. The Fourth Test is probably going to be even more bustling."

"Does that mean earning Spiritual Stones has become the primary goal now? Is anyone forming teams to earn Spiritual Stones?"

"The Refining Team is recruiting! Join us and you can earn Spiritual Stones while lying down. Don't miss this!"

"The Alchemy Team is also recruiting! A three-day crash course in Alchemy to help you ascend in one step and become the best Alchemist in the Cultivation Realm!"

"The Communication Ring development team needs a few smart players. Brainless players and Dung Beetles need not apply!"

"..."

The Players also began to make their own plans.

Earning Spiritual Stones clearly became the foremost objective, and it seemed Contribution Points could be saved for a while.

Based on the current situation, there weren't many places where Players could use their Contribution Points.

It could even be said that they only needed them to buy some bits and bobs Inside the Contribution Hall.

Other than that, it seemed unnecessary to waste Contribution Points.

It was better to save them for now. Once the Fourth Test started, Players could sell their Contribution Points in Hand to the Fourth Test Players.

These were essential for Resurrection and purchasing Cultivation Techniques.

The number of Fourth Test Players would undoubtedly be greater. At that time, those new players would have an even greater need for Contribution Points.

Save them for the Fourth Test launch!

「Days later.」

The Great Inventor, Antarctic, Neighbor Six, and Chaotic Dance Steps sat together, reviewing the newly developed features of the Communication Ring.

"Now that we've launched the Live Stream feature, Recharge has become a problem for us."

Neighbor Six pondered, "People in the Cultivation Realm all carry Spiritual Stones. Even though we've opened an Online Payment function, we still need to collect offline."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. It seemed somewhat challenging to be capitalists in the game.

Chaotic Dance Steps frowned, "Collaboration. Find distributors, let them collect the Spiritual Stones, and we should quickly create the Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array to facilitate our collection."

"That's a good idea, but let's forget about the Northern Wilderness; they're as poor as ghosts over there."

The Great Inventor shook his head, "Since we have to build an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array, I think we should start with the Southern Continent. The Great Dream Immortal Sect has a good relationship with us; we could start by making them our distributor."

No one gets up early for no profit!

Why would the folks at the Great Dream Immortal Sect help the Profound Yellow Sect?

That was also a problem!

Antarctic pondered, "If we open up the Live Stream function with a charging model, since the Great Dream Immortal Sect is our collaborator, perhaps we could lower their fee a bit."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

But after all was said and done, the most troublesome part was building the Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array.

Without Sect Leader Xu Nian stepping in, the Players had to rely on themselves.

Inside the Contribution Hall, there was indeed an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array, but the price was extraordinarily high, beyond what a few of them could afford.

It required all Players to contribute. Everyone had to put forward at least One Hundred Contribution Points!

An Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array required One Hundred Thousand Contribution Points.

A single player definitely couldn't afford it.

Thus, all Players had to contribute.

Upon learning that the Great Inventor and his group were preparing to establish inter-provincial teleportation, the Players also grew eager to participate.

For each to contribute One Hundred Contribution Points wasn't too much.

For the current Players, that was a trivial matter.

The important question was: what benefits would they receive?

The Great Inventor and the others came up with a plan: promising all Players an Advanced Realm-Breaking Pill!

"An Advanced Realm-Breaking Pill? Doesn't that mean one could directly break through a major Realm from the Nascent Soul Realm onward?"
