Chapter 40: Activities in progress
After more than half an hour, the living disciples had moved all the bodies of the dead to the top of the Black Mountain.
Li Xiaoyao gave an order: "Count how many disciples were killed and injured?"
After counting, the maid [Qingxue] came out and reported:
"Master, in the stampede just now, a total of 93 disciples of my Xiaoyao Sect died and no one was injured."
What's the situation, no one was injured?
Zhao Kongming's eyes almost popped out when he heard this. Could it be that so many disciples who rolled down the mountain all fell on vital parts by coincidence? Wasn't there even a broken leg?
Zhao Kongming was a little suspicious, whether Li Xiaoyao deliberately let his disciples falsely register the quota to cheat his spirit stones.
He respectfully said to Li Xiaoyao: "Senior, I want to count again. If there are people missed, then you will be in vain to help us with the spirit stones. Do you think it's okay?"
Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
Zhao Kongming gave a look to a fat monk next to him, who immediately walked to the pile of corpses and carefully counted the number.
After a while, the fat monk came back, his face not looking very good.
"Boss, the death toll is indeed ninety-three."
As he said that, he also used secret language to transmit his voice: "I also used special means to investigate and found that these people are indeed dead. There is no phenomenon of living people pretending to be dead. And judging from the color of their blood, they all died just now. There is no situation of replacing dead bodies."
Zhao Kongming's face became more and more ugly. They really fell to death. Even those who were still breathing did not exist.
Is it really that I, Zhao Kongming, am unlucky today? I am too unlucky today.
Zhao Kongming thought that he would only have to pay more than fifty medium-grade spirit stones at most, but according to the current body count, he would have to pay out one hundred and twenty medium-grade spirit stones in the end.
It hurts! Zhao Kongming's heart was bleeding.
However, what he didn't know was that this was not God's will or luck at all.
In fact, when these 93 players rolled down the mountain, only about 30 of them died immediately. Most of the rest were missing arms and legs, or were paralyzed.
However, in order to quickly heal their injuries, the players who were still alive chose to commit suicide one by one.
Because they knew that they could be resurrected from the top of the Black Mountain after committing suicide.
Committing suicide after being injured has become a habit for every Xiaoyao disciple.
Li Xiaoyao did not expect that this group of idiot disciples would be so powerful and earn him an extra 120 middle-grade spirit stones.
Li Xiaoyao is now very happy. With himself in charge, he is not afraid that the Blue Sky Construction Team will default on their debts.
Looking at Li Xiaoyao with a serious face, Zhao Kongming endured the pain and asked in a flattering manner:
"Senior, look, our work remuneration this time is thirty mid-grade spirit stones. I will give you ninety mid-grade spirit stones first, and we don't want the other thirty. Can we use it to make up for the debt?"
Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhao, these are two different things. They can't be confused. You should give me one hundred and twenty, not one less. Of course, I won't give you less of the thirty mid-grade spirit stones in a month."
Li Xiaoyao paused and continued, "Do you remember the second clause in our contract? If the final building is not satisfactory to the headmaster due to the unilateral violation of the construction team, I have the right to pay less or even no spirit stones at my discretion. So Xiao Zhao, you must try your best."
"Definitely, definitely." Zhao Kongming smiled, but he didn't know how many times he had scolded Li Xiaoyao in his heart.
He secretly decided that he must use 200% of his efforts in this construction, and he must not let Li Xiaoyao find an excuse to deduct spirit stones again.
Li Xiaoyao held the 120 warm middle-grade spirit stones, and felt relieved.
He felt as if these spirit stones should belong to him.
Could it be true that the old man said that I was the master of the spirit world?
These should be my property?
Li Xiaoyao saw that Zhao Kongming was quite sensible, so he decided to give him some benefits to help him improve his professional skills.
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish!
He ordered a few idiot disciples to move all the corpses away and throw them under the cliff. In his words, this is called "fallen leaves return to their roots".
Then Li Xiaoyao called out all the idiots in the formation hall and asked them to explain the various buildings of the Xiaoyao Sect that they had designed before to the Blue Sky Construction Team, and ordered them to supervise the Blue Sky Construction Team to complete the construction in the near future.
In Li Xiaoyao's opinion, Zhao Kongming learned the architectural design talents of the idiots in vain, and the 120 middle-grade spirit stones were just tuition fees.
Zhao Kongming didn't take it seriously at first, and he was very dissatisfied. He had been working in architecture for his whole life, but he had to be commanded by these mortals.
But as the people in the Formation Hall gradually explained, Zhao Kongming was surprised to find that some of their ideas were extremely exquisite, and their architectural designs were completely unimaginable.
Master, an absolute master of architecture!
Zhao Kongming couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that the Xiaoyao Sect could easily send out so many talents. It was really unfathomable.
In just a short while, he found that he had learned a lot and his professional skills improved by leaps and bounds.
If I can take this opportunity to secretly learn something, won't I be able to raise my price in the future?
Zhao Kongming couldn't help but think wildly in his heart. Where did Li Xiaoyao get so many disciples who were willing to work, and these disciples were rare talents in the outside world.
By learning about the hall buildings to be built this time, Zhao Kongming also discovered that the Xiaoyao Sect not only established rare halls such as the Weapon Refining Hall, the Alchemy Hall, and the Talisman Hall, but also had the Destiny Hall that only the seventh-level sect could establish, as well as the Gongyan Hall and Daoyan Hall that he had never heard of.
Could it be that Li Xiaoyao was a disciple from the seventh or even the eighth and ninth heavens of those big families who came to experience?
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why a small Qi Refining cultivator dared to build a sect in the Black Mountain where there was no spiritual energy, and still had so many loyal and talented disciples.
Zhao Kongming felt as if he had discovered some great secret. If Li Xiaoyao was really the heir of a big family, then his 120 middle-grade spirit stones would not be wasted. If he could hold on to Li Xiaoyao's thigh in the future, he would definitely have a good life every day!
As for why the children of a big family were so stingy, Zhao Kongming had already figured out the answer: this must be a test of the big family for its heir.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kongming quickly greeted his subordinates. This time, the construction must be in the best condition, and strive to satisfy Li Xiaoyao.
Under the leadership of the people in the Formation Hall, the Blue Sky Construction Team did not even take a break. They immediately took out the tools from the space ring and started working in full swing.
On the other side, Li Xiaoyao asked the little boy to secretly revive all the dead disciples and gave benefits to all the Guapi disciples.
At this moment, all the players received a system message.
[Due to the collective efforts of all the players, the plot of this event was carried out smoothly. The head of the sect, Li Xiaoyao, was very pleased and rewarded each participating disciple with 10 contribution points, and each dead disciple with 20 contribution points! ]
For a while, the players cheered with joy.
"As expected, death is a plot mission. So cool. You get contribution points directly."
"Twenty for death? I should have gone to drag that NPC earlier."
"Doesn't this just prove what the dog god said in his guide? Only by harassing NPCs is the correct way to get hidden missions."
"The dog god is awesome!"
"Brother Xiaoyao is awesome!"
