The Demon Lord of the Outside World

In the Xu family's resource hall, Xu Wang was looking at the contribution exchange list in front of him, slightly lost in thought.

Just two days ago, Xu Wang became the first rookie Gu Master to activate the pneumatic Gu to hit the same place three times because of his "hard work in daily practice". The family naturally gave a reward for this situation, so Xu Wang also received 100 family contribution points. At this moment, he came to the resource hall to receive and check the contribution exchange list.

After taking a look, Xu Wang found that his previous understanding of the family contribution point system seemed to be wrong.

On the price list, except for the most basic Xu family Gu worm pneumatic Gu, which only requires 100 contribution points, some other auxiliary Gu worms generally require 200 contribution points to exchange, and Xu Wang did see the relic Gu on the exchange list. A bronze relic Gu alone was priced at 1,000 contribution points.

In terms of price alone, there is not much difference from simply using Yuanshi to buy Gu worms. In fact, there may be a lot of price fluctuations when using Yuanshi alone, especially for rare Gu worms such as relic Gu. But if we talk about the difficulty of obtaining, contribution points are much more difficult to obtain than Yuanshi.

When the Xu family Gu Master enters the middle stage of the first turn, he can take on some simple family tasks, mostly patrolling the area and guarding materials. These tasks can only exchange for 30 to 40 contribution points. Just to exchange for an ordinary first turn Gu worm, it takes several tasks to accumulate.

What about more difficult tasks? Yes, hunting exotic beasts and collecting Gu materials, but this requires you to have enough strength. How can Gu Masters improve their strength? It still depends on more Gu worms. And it is difficult to get more contribution points by forming a team, because the larger the team, the more people to allocate.

"It seems that if you want to get non-rare Gu worms, the best way is to buy them with Yuanshi."

Xu Wang nodded slightly, and had a clearer understanding of the Xu family's contribution point system - essentially a means of converging the value of labor.

If Gu Masters want to become stronger, the more cost-effective way is to buy Gu worms with Yuanshi, and only when they are particularly needed and difficult to buy, will they use the accumulated contribution points to exchange for Gu worms. Contribution points are a kind of virtual currency created by the Xu family. Using contribution as a reward for the family's Gu Master's tasks is also a way to reduce the family's Yuanshi expenditure.

So at present, the most important value of family contribution is not to exchange for Gu worms, but to vote. Generally, when a family has a major event, the Xu family will hold a voting ceremony, and the premise of voting is to have a certain number of contribution points.

This behavior seems to give the Gu Masters the right to choose the family's development, but in fact it is just a means of recovering contribution points.

Xu Wang turned around and left the Resource Hall without buying anything. The Xu family is a Gu Master family that has developed for thousands of years. Most of the convenient ways to improve strength have been firmly controlled. In this way, if you want to quickly obtain resources... you can only borrow power.

………………

Naturally, there are many leisure places such as taverns and hotels in the territory of the Xu family. Because it is located in a dense forest, most of the buildings are also built of solid wood.

In a tavern with the best business in the Xu family, Xu Wang sat in front of the tea table in a private room on the second floor, facing the man opposite, his uncle-Xu Cun.

"Thank you for your care during this period, uncle. I will drink a glass to toast you."

There was a small celadon cup on the tea table, in which the transparent liquid exuded a long-lasting aroma of wine, and some popular side dishes in the wine shop were placed on the side.

Xu Wang picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. Then he seemed to be choked by the fishy and spicy wine, and couldn't help but coughed slightly with his mouth covered.

"Hahaha, nephew, you still need to practice your drinking capacity."

Seeing this scene, Xu Cun's mood also improved a lot. Toasting is essentially a kind of flattery in behavior. And flattery is a good way to make people happy.

Xu Cun smiled and took a sip of the wine glass. He first felt a hint of bitterness, and then a long sweet fragrance filled his mouth.

"This should be the Ganlai wine, a specialty of the Xu family. I remember that a small cup of wine costs three Yuanshi. Nephew, you are really extravagant."

"Uncle has been taking good care of me recently. Xu Wang naturally wants to repay uncle, otherwise he will be an ungrateful person."

"Hahaha, good, good, you are polite while working hard. Nephew, you will definitely have a bright future and will not embarrass your parents."

Xu Cun seemed to be happy and drank another glass of Ganlai wine. His eyes narrowed as if he was savoring it carefully.

Xu Wang looked at the other party's actions and knew that this uncle who seemed to care about him was not so close. At the beginning, although he said that Xu Wang was extravagant, he did not bring the extravagance into himself. In other words, Xu Wang's extravagance had nothing to do with him, Xu Cun. Although he was drinking the wine you bought, he was just accompanying you to be extravagant.

Looking at Xu Cun's appearance as if he was sinking into the wine, Xu Wang took the initiative to speak with emotion.

"Uncle, you don't know. I'm a little confused about the future."

"Oh? Nephew, just tell me. I'll see if I can help you solve your doubts."

Faced with Xu Cun's concern, Xu Wang lowered his head slightly, looking a little lost.

"Recently, I've been practicing day and night, and finally I was able to use the pneumatic Gu proficiently not long ago. I also received a reward from the family, but it was this reward that made me a little confused."

Xu Wu then shook his head and expressed his views on the exchange of contribution points for Gu worms. Basically, he felt powerless about the difficulty of accumulating contribution points in exchange for Gu worms and didn't know what to do.

To put it simply, it is like a young man who has just stepped out of society and is shocked by the gap between his salary and what he hopes to get after seeing the price of luxury goods.

After hearing the difficulties Xu Wang said, Xu Cun's eyes flashed with luster.

[It seems that my nephew has not realized the true use of contribution points, and his vision is still focused on buying Gu insects to increase his strength. This... can be used to facilitate guidance. ]

After recovering from his thoughts, Xu Wan in front of him was still telling his worries, such as how he practiced hard day and night, but Xu Wenshuo and Xu Yichen at the same time could leave him almost at any time, just like they were working hard in school. Top students are worried about being overtaken by a genius academic master in an instant.

For people who have passed this age, this is just a trivial matter, but being bothered by trivial matters shows the other person's down-to-earthness and simplicity.

There are two people of the same age in front of them. One is worried about rising prices in the market every day, and the other is worried about world war every day. Most people will naturally think that the former is simpler and easier to communicate with.

"Nephew, you actually don't have to worry."

Xu Cun saw that Xu Wu, who was originally depressed and worried, seemed to have ignited hope because of his words, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"The way for a Gu master to obtain Gu worms is not just through family contribution. As long as there are resources, there are many ways to obtain Gu worms. As for resources, you don't actually need to worry too much."

Xu Cun paused slightly when he said this, and Xu Wan also saw at a glance that the other party wanted to test, so he immediately held the wine glass with both hands and offered a respectful toast to the other party.

"Please ask uncle to clarify my doubts."

"Okay, okay...Uncle, I'll just tell you."

Seeing Xu Wan's reaction, Xu Cun's eyes were even more satisfied, thinking that he had basically got this junior under control.

"It is indeed much more difficult for a Gu master to obtain resources by himself, but most of the Xu family's Gu masters have parents who are also Xu family's Gu masters. Even if their strength is not high, they will accumulate some resources over the years."

"Nephew, although your parents sadly passed away back then, they were also second-level high-level Gu Masters during their lifetime, and they devoted themselves to tasks all year round, so they accumulated a lot of resources, and nephew, you can definitely inherit these resources. "

"Although it is difficult to manage the inheritance properly when you inherit an inheritance at the age of eighteen, your nephew still has an uncle! Your uncle will naturally try his best to help you. In this way, nephew, you will not lack the resources for daily practice. !”

Hearing Xu Cun's words, Xu Wan seemed to be extremely surprised, but he quickly calmed down and spoke slowly after a moment.

"The family stipulates that to inherit the inheritance, you need to be at least eighteen years old, or become a second-level Gu master. These are too far away for me."

When Xu Cun heard this, he wanted to give some verbal comfort, but Xu Wan started talking again.

"And... forgive my nephew, I don't want to inherit the inheritance left by my parents!"

"This?! Does my nephew know what he is talking about?"

"I know that the inheritance left by my parents may allow me to cultivate to the second level stably after I turn 18, but if I am so slack, how can I say that I live up to my parents?"

Xu Wang raised his head fiercely, his eyes firm.

"Since Xu Wang has a good talent, he can't waste his time, and he can't just focus on the second rank! The family Gu Master can accept family tasks as soon as he reaches the intermediate level, how can I just wait until the second rank? So? How can you say that you have contributed to the family, and how can you be qualified to be the Xu family's Gu Master!"

Xu Wang's words were sonorous and powerful, as if they came from the heart. Xu Cun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he asked after he calmed down.

"Then I wonder what my nephew is planning?"

After hearing Xu Cun's inquiry, Xu Wang thought. This was the first time since the other party had met him during this period that he took the initiative to lower his attitude and put himself in the position of a 'listener'.

"Uncle, Xu Wan wants to compete, not for the so-called newcomers who are the first family geniuses, but because he truly wants to become a truly powerful Gu Master to complete important tasks for the Xu family. Only in this way can his parents be gratified. !”

Xu Wang said these words with sincerity in his eyes.
