Ch 6 - Selecting Gu Worms

Everything is difficult at the beginning. After hunting wild boar for the first time, Chen Xing learned from his experience and went around this wild boar ridge to look for more wild boars to kill. During the period, he faced many dangers, and he almost died by one of them, and the primeval essense in the aperture became higher and higher as he went further which led to faster recovery and more usage of moonblades, helping him in some critical cases.

Chen Xing had done calculations. This increase in aperture's primeval essense storage and recovery speed was firstly due to daily practice and secondly due to fighting monsters and leveling. He has 90% talent, so he is faster than most players in his cultivation. If he is assisted by a primeval stone, he would be even faster. However, it takes at least a month to upgrade from the initial level to the middle level, and two months from the middle to upper level of the 1st Rank. The time has to be doubled, let alone advancing to the peak level. It was impossible to reach the second rank in three months just by practicing.

Therefore, when fighting monsters to advance, hunting wild boars was the best method. Every time a wild boar was hunted, Chen Xing would obtain a little increase in primeval essense. The fangs of the wild boar can also be collected and sold to merchants in exchange for primeval stones which can used during cultivation.

Chen Xing fought monsters during the day, and returned to his room at night and rest. In this way, within two weeks, the system prompt sounded, [ Congratulations, your cultivation level has been upgraded to the first rank middle level! ]

"Haha, not bad, not bad," Chen Xing spoke with joy. Killing wild boars intensively for two consecutive weeks was exhausting for him. To be honest, he was a little embarrassed to even see those wild boars now. He felt a little guilty killing them so cruelly even though he knew this was only a game. Now that his cultivation base has improved, he can not only launch more moon blades, but can also go to the academy to receive an auxiliary Gu worm.

Returning to the cottage again, he saw that the number of players in the cottage had obviously increased, and the power of some players in the markets at the foot of the mountain had begun to increade, and some guilds had even set up banners to recruit people.

"Brother, I always see you alone! Why don't you join our Dragon Guild?"

"Hey~ Brother, don't go so fast, our StrongPower Guild treats their members well, and there is also a special training group. Think about it!"

"Hey, you are so handsome, come to our Cutegirls Guild, our Cutegirls Guild is the guild with the most beautiful women, hey handsome, don't leave~!"

For these recruiting guilds, Chen Xing was too lazy to bother. Where there are people, there will also be an organization, but he has long understood that the so-called organization is nothing more than an exploitative tool of the superior. In reality, he was already discouraged and lazy enough to work for others, so he wouldn't be joining any of these boring guilds.

Going straight towards the place of the college, Chen Xing submitted his cultivation level to the elders of the college.

"Well, this young man is commendable, and he deserves to be a disciple of the patriarch!" The elder smiled, "Let me receive your reward!"

Before the elder led him to the Gu room of the school, he spoke, "There are our Gu Yue clan's Gu worms. You can go in and choose one."

Squeak

The door of the Gu room was opened by the guard, and Chen Xing walked in expectantly.

The Gu storage room was not big, but there were many Gu's inside. Square holes were punched in the surrounding walls, these holes were large and small, and various Gu were placed inside.

There were stone basins, jade plates, straw-woven cages, and burning purple clay pots.

Chen Xing swept his eyes away, and saw the Gu worms that were stored in it. Some looked like bed bugs, and some looked like long beetles, with various appearances. As he watched, the system listed the effects of these Gu worms before his eyes.

[ Copperskin Gu ] - makes the back body hard like a copper skin, and the defense is greatly increased.

[ Ironskin Gu ] - makes the hindquarters as hard as iron, greatly increasing defense.

[ Stone Skin Gu ] - makes the back like a rock, and his defense is greatly increased.

These are a few Gu worms that increase defense power. This may be what most players need urgently, but it is not what he wants, because the patriarch's mission to him would provide him a rare white jade Gu which would increase his defense monumentally and he would not require these gu worms later. Chen Xing continued to look, and a Gu worm resembling a longhorn caught his attention.

[ Brute Force Beetle Gu ] - After being activated, it gives Gu master the power of a bull, can be maintained for five breaths, and puts a certain burden on the body.

"Well, no, the time is too short, and it's certainly not a good thing to burden the body." Chen Xing shook his head.

There was also a dark yellow long beetle gu insect called Yellow long beetle Gu, which increased stamina. But he cannot do strenuous exercise for a long time, so this gu was also abandoned.

"I can only choose one! It's really hard to choose!"

"If I choose that little light gu, I can increase the power of moonlight gu. It's not really good, I can only launch a powerful moon blade with it, the method is too simple."

"If I choose that cricket, I can increase your jumping ability. Not good, I am not a person who likes to jump around."

Chen Xing looked at the Gu worms on the surrounding walls and wasn't able to make a decision.

"Is there no special Gu?"

A good Gu worm was directly related to his strength for a long time, and Chen Xing was naturally cautious, and carefully checked the Gu worms in the room.

Finally, a worm shaped like an earthworm made his eyes shine.

[ Soil Drilling Gu ] - After being activated, the Gu Master can drill a certain distance in the soil.

This solitary Gu worm was thrown in the corner of the storage room. Its function was not for attacking or defending, and it can only drill through the soil. It seemed to be very tasteless at first, but Chen Xing intuitively felt that it will be very useful.

"Forget it, I'll take a gamble and choose you!" After thinking about it, he made a decision.

In fact, a lot of time in life he relied on such gambling! Take the decision to buy this game as a prime example!
