The current Online Game Virtual Business activities have gradually become a standardized event, no longer just small exchanges, and many people now consider themselves professional merchants in the game. After the opening of the Lufeng shop, Murong Xiaoxiao displayed all the merchandise, creating a series of famous stores and collaboratively establishing a harmonious virtual business district. It became extremely popular, with many players praising their shopping experience. Lufeng even offered a large quantity of low-priced finished products, forming a flea market. As a result, the Duty-Free Shop gained fame in Luoyang, becoming the largest store in Asking Heaven and currently the only store.
Seeing such prosperity, Lufeng believes that the development of Virtual Business in online games will prompt manufacturers to pay more attention to the construction of the Virtual Business aspect within the game, standardizing the economic system to avoid issues like inflation and unsold goods, thus extending the game's lifespan and providing more opportunities for players who enjoy doing business, achieving a win-win situation.
After the establishment of the Duty-Free Shop, Lufeng upgraded to four counters: one selling pets, one selling gems, and two selling status items and other props. There are many types of props, but now Lufeng has invested all his money into expanding the store counters. After this expansion, everyone is broke, and other props can only be temporarily grouped together until they can be sorted out later.
Previously, Lufeng and others had many Second-Generation Crocodile items and five level 40 Dual Perfection weapons, along with a large number of props. Now that they have their own store, Lufeng arranged for Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing to assist in management together, making business even more prosperous.
However, for Lufeng and others at this point, earning these small profits is not very meaningful. Everyone knows that future upgrades will require a significant amount of gold coins and effort. Therefore, they must continuously improve their strength; only by playing the long game can they catch big fish.
Now, for all players, if they want to quickly enhance their strength, they naturally need to keep completing quests. The quest series in Asking Heaven is a very attractive feature; there are so many quests that players may not want to do them all. Players can choose freely and often have unexpected rewards.
Completing quests requires organization; each quest in Asking Heaven corresponds to a specific level. Once players reach that level, they can undertake quests they prefer. Some quests offer very minimal rewards, so players must choose wisely; those with experience know how to approach them.
For Lufeng, this upgrade path is familiar; it's like child's play. The tasks from Zhou Tianshi are essential. Previously accepted tasks like the Wrapped Silver Martial Arts Seal have been completed. Thus, everyone followed the task prompts to find Tong Guan at the center of Luoyang City, seeking information about Cuqiu.
Tong Guan is indeed the issuer of Cuqiu tasks; however, he has an unusual obsession with collecting White Jade Bottles. Before Lufeng could explain his purpose, Tong Guan could not contain his anxiety: "Have you seen my favorite White Jade Bottle? It's gone!"
Seeing how foolish he was acting, Lufeng didn't bother with pleasantries and took out the White Jade Bottle given by the owner of the Grocery Store, asking, "Is this it?"
Tong Guan was overjoyed: "Thank you so much! I've heard about your deeds from Zhou Tianshi. Meeting you today confirms your reputation! Since you want to learn about Cuqiu, I suggest you visit Shaolin. It is a major force in martial arts with countless secret techniques. Recently, I've heard that a group of Evil Persons intends to harm Shaolin. If it falls, chaos will ensue across the land and Cuqiu activities will cease. For now, you should first inquire about the Scripture Repository from Mr. Zhuge Kongliang!"
Regarding the Cuqiu Tournament, unlike other dungeons where entry is based solely on level, it also requires that one's martial arts skills be above level thirty (the first six books) and that teams consist of three or more members (with no killing intent). The Cuqiu dungeon is periodic; it can only be participated in on the first Sunday evening of each month between 7 PM and 11 PM.
Participating in the Cuqiu Tournament, you can go to Suzhou (187, 148) at Qianqian, Dali (280, 95) with Xia Qingqing, or Luoyang (204, 58) with Tong Guan to enter the Peony Bowl Dungeon. Playing football here is equivalent to five times the usual Experience. Before entering the Dungeon, don't forget to claim a double, which gives you ten times the Experience, making it much faster than leveling up by teaming up to defeat monsters.
Since this is a Cuqiu competition, the entire Dungeon map is shaped like a football field, quite similar to a Chess Game. There are a total of 149 footballs, including "Cloud Floating," "Mandarin Duck Cane," and "Double Swallows," which are several dozen times larger than regular footballs. Of course, you don't need to kick them into the goal; just eliminate them. During the competition, Sun Meimei (the final boss) will say some things and request substitutions, but you don't need to pay attention to that. After defeating the footballs, they will drop some items that can be sold to NPCs for a good amount of silver.
The final boss Sun Meimei, known as "Cuqiu Thirteen Sister," has quite high skill levels. However, as long as the team is efficient and there are enough attackers, sweeping through the Peony Bowl is quite easy, especially at higher levels where it can be completed quickly. The boss will drop the New Python God Talisman (used for repairing artifacts).
Next, Lufeng and others found Zhuge Kongliang. It's unclear what relationship he has with Zhuge Liang; perhaps he was named after Confucius's teacher due to his peculiar name.
Zhuge Kongliang is a fortune teller skilled in feng shui and the ways of heaven and earth, delving into chaos and infinity. From infinity comes duality; from duality comes Taiji; from Taiji comes the two forms; from the two forms come the four images; from the four images comes Bagua... These profound Taoist teachings are indeed difficult to comprehend. However, Lufeng and others were not there to study Taoism; they simply accepted the quest and planned to leave.
"Hello, Mr. Kongliang. I was sent by Lord Tong Guan!"
Zhuge Kongliang nodded calmly, raising his right hand with fingers pointed upward while placing his left hand behind his waist in a Taoist greeting. After a moment, he murmured: "Recently, through calculations and gathering information from the martial world, I learned that a group of evil monks has repeatedly invaded Shaolin in an attempt to seize Shaolin's martial arts classics. The wandering monks of Shaolin often gather at Erhai and West Lake before returning to assist the temple. If you have the fortune to visit the Scripture Repository, could you please keep an eye out for Bamboo Scroll Fragments? They are quite valuable."
"Of course, no problem!"
Lufeng immediately agreed. It’s known that 40 Bamboo Scroll Fragments can be exchanged for a Treasure Box, which randomly yields a Skill Book or possibly a group or ordinary book. When Lufeng played Heavenly Dragon before, he opened a Poison Soul Baby Group Book; such ancient groups are much better than Fire Blaze, Blood Poison, Five Thunder, etc., significantly increasing attack power—simply amazing.
Seeing Lufeng agree to his request made Zhuge Kongliang very happy. Without waiting for Lufeng to ask about the Bronze Martial Arts Seal matter, he eagerly spoke up.
"Food is paramount for people; salt, iron, and rice Canal Transport are crucial national matters. The smoothness of Canal Transport relates directly to national security. If you want to learn how to earn traveling expenses through Canal Transport, Lord Zhao Mingcheng in Luoyang can assist you."
"Thank you!"
Lufeng bowed in gratitude. According to the quest prompt, this was related to the Chain Quest about the Bronze Martial Arts Seal; as long as he found Zhao Mingcheng, he could continue with the next task.
Before long, Lufeng found Zhao Mingcheng near the Engraving Master. Lufeng held a certain admiration for this manager of Luoyang Canal Transport. A secure livelihood enhances the quality of life, but in the game world, this has been virtualized. Players need not worry about starving in the game; instead, they can enjoy a higher level of satisfaction and even a spiritual uplift.
Upon seeing someone approach, Zhao Mingcheng got straight to the point: "The importance of Canal Transport doesn't need further explanation, does it? If you have earned enough coins to wander the Jianghu, feel free to come find me."
"Ha ha, thank you very much!"
Lufeng chuckled lightly. Relying on such labor to earn coins would likely be no different from the struggles of today's working class; one could never afford a piece of heavy armor through Canal Transport alone. Diligent individuals learn skills, while smart ones learn management. To go further in the game, it's not just about luck; one must seize opportunities and stay ahead of others to find the Way to Make Money.
Zhao Mingcheng looked at Lufeng and continued, "If you're not satisfied with earning coins through Canal Transport, you can also run Trade Runs at the Gang altar to earn coins. This is a long-term Way to Make Money with considerable returns. If it weren't for Zhou Tianshi's instructions, I wouldn't be sharing this. If you want more details, go ask Qiao Zhiguang in Luoyang!"
"Thank you!" Lufeng smiled slightly, bid farewell to Zhao Mingcheng, and then headed towards where Qiao Zhiguang was located...
