However, for Murong Xiaoxiao, nothing else mattered; what was important was that she could help Lufeng. Therefore, she continued to assist Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing. After helping Lufeng enter the Chess Game - Shattered Void, she went out to sell Yellow Paper!
This time, Murong Xiaoxiao set up her stall at a price of 2 gold coins per Locator. Passersby rushed to buy them, and some sharp-eyed individuals even made bulk purchases. Murong Xiaoxiao's twenty-slot inventory quickly sold out. In just a few minutes, 200 second-level Locators were sold out, earning her 400 gold coins. After deducting 160 for costs and 5% stall tax, she netted 230 gold coins. Since Locators were consumables, the profit was considerable.
At this moment, those who had bought a large number of second-level Locators began shouting: "Second-level Locators for 3 gold coins each! Hurry up and buy; quantities are limited and will be distributed in set amounts!"
Murong Xiaoxiao then understood that these bulk buyers had become scalpers reselling Locators. She felt frustrated but helpless. In the end, she could only ignore it and returned to Emei Mountain to manage the Sect while waiting for Lufeng and the others to finish the Chess Game.
Earlier, Lufeng had given Murong Xiaoxiao some Locators that she hadn't sold, keeping them for her long-term use. She had over a hundred second-level Locators, all purchased at cost price. Now, after netting 230 gold coins and deducting the cost of 90 gold coins for buying Yellow Paper for her own use, she only made a profit of 140 gold coins. Even so, it was still quite impressive; an ordinary player could only earn one or two gold coins from completing quests in a day.
Now that Lufeng had left Myth Studio and was clueless about the studio's way to make money, he would have Murong Xiaoxiao carefully calculate every transaction. Xiaoxiao managed finances while Xiaojing managed material goods, leaving Lufeng as the most burdened executor. However, with two beautiful women supporting him, Lufeng felt fortunate beyond measure.
For players in Free Mode, it was like having an additional Hidden Profession. This was the biggest difference between Asking Heaven and Heavenly Dragon. Free Mode was not affected by any skills and allowed players to unleash skills freely without being restricted like Skill Mode players such as Gao Chao, whose every action was limited by their skills; exceeding the skill's attack range rendered the skill completely ineffective.
However, Free Mode did not come without challenges. Currently, Royal Beauty, Sima Changfeng, and others were still stuck at the Gathering Stage. This indicated how difficult it was to cultivate in this mode. Royal Beauty and others had not received guidance from Chess Sage and mistakenly believed that Shattered Void was like the outside world where skills could not be used, which widened the gap between them and Lufeng.
Nevertheless, once they reached the later stages when gold coins could be freely exchanged for Reality Currency, Skill Mode players could easily overpower everything with money. With a massive accumulation of wealth, their strength could significantly increase; even if someone was a Newbie, possessing absolute power meant that if they hit Lufeng once, he would be defeated. Therefore, what Lufeng valued most was improving his strength while relying on Free Mode and his understanding of Phantom Form skills to stay ahead of others.
Just like before in Shattered Void, Lufeng had already adapted to this chess farming environment. After finishing over a hundred chess pieces, a long-awaited System Announcement echoed again, making Lufeng once more the leader among Free Mode players.
"Ding~"
System Announcement: Congratulations to player Lufeng for being the first to complete Gathering Qi proficiency and receiving the permanent title [Gathering Ring].
Lufeng was taken aback and quickly checked his title. To his surprise: "Wow! This Gathering Ring is even better than Two Wolf Deities! It adds ten to all attributes and is a permanent title! Plus, my Qi has already surpassed one hundred thousand! Haha, this is amazing!"
Lufeng was so pleased with himself that he shared his level 40 attributes with Wang Xiaojing:

Even Wang Xiaojing, who has seen bloodshed a million times, had never encountered a level 40 player with over 110,000 Qi. This was truly hard to accept, and it even felt like a hallucination.
Seeing Wang Xiaojing's astonished expression, Lufeng smiled proudly: "Don't be surprised. You'll be like me in the future. Each point of proficiency gives you 100 Qi. The combined proficiency of Gathering Energy and Gathering Qi totals 1100, which increases your Qi by 110,000."
"I know!" Seeing Lufeng so excited that he forgot to collect pieces, Xiaojing couldn't hold back any longer: "Hurry up and collect the pieces. If you turn into a Chess Soul, it's just a title! Look at how happy you are; you can't even find your way!"
Lufeng grinned: "No rush. I can already release skills normally; these pieces are a piece of cake for me!"
"Yes, now you can compare with the Two Wolf Deities... and their Howling Sky Hound. One has a collar around its neck, and the other has a Gathering Ring title on its head. Truly a Good Brother!” Wang Xiaojing stammered, “Haha~”
"Don't run!"
In the first half of his sentence, Lufeng was still amused, but upon hearing the second half, he realized it had taken a turn and quickly chased after Wang Xiaojing. The two played recklessly in the Shattered Void, completely forgetting that there were still dozens of pieces left to collect.
After running for a while, Wang Xiaojing grew tired and was caught up by Lufeng. They exchanged glances, and Wang Xiaojing involuntarily closed her eyes. Hormones surged in Lufeng, and their lips slowly drew closer. Just as their lips were an inch apart, Lufeng suddenly noticed a Chess Soul flying towards them on a sword.
In an instant, without any time to lose, Lufeng swiftly shifted positions and moved behind Wang Xiaojing. The Chess Soul thrust its flying sword at him, nearly causing him serious harm.
“-1000”
Lufeng took damage from a critical hit. Fortunately, he had thick skin—no, thick health—with over 9,000 health points, so he narrowly avoided disaster. However, he was quite furious; what was supposed to be a tender moment with Wang Xiaojing had been interrupted by the Chess Soul.
“Pretty Boy, how dare you ambush us? Just wait until I skin you alive, dripping oil and whipping you, then let your backside explode all over the mountains…”
Lufeng grumbled. Both Gathering Energy and Gathering Qi are instant casts, but when it came to Bursting Qi, he couldn't produce a single sound after a long while. Just as Chess Soul's flying sword was about to strike again, at the critical moment, Wang Xiaojing swiftly took action and knocked Chess Soul down.
Lufeng smiled awkwardly: “Hehe, my wife is still amazing. Well, I let you have this chance to save the beauty and be the hero so that my wife could show her brave and heroic side.”
Wang Xiaojing chuckled: “What a bear you are! Even in this situation, you're still trying to show off in front of me. Hurry up and let your Sunglasses Cat assist me. These pieces have all turned into Chess Soul, really! Every time I have to deal with these low-experience Chess Soul.”
“I can't be blamed for this; if it weren't for you…” Lufeng muttered softly.
“What did you say?” Wang Xiaojing glared at Lufeng, clearly having heard his mumbling loud and clear.
“Nothing, my dear wife, just go ahead and attack!” Lufeng feigned weakness.
Wang Xiaojing smiled slightly: “Hmm, my husband is so obedient!”
“Smack!”
“I meant to say attack Chess Soul!” Lufeng said with frustration.
Wang Xiaojing pouted her lips and gently said: “Oh, it’s my fault. Don’t be angry, dear!”
Lufeng felt a shiver inside: “Not angry, not angry! Just go ahead!”
Seeing Lufeng concede, Wang Xiaojing smiled triumphantly and continued her assault on Chess Soul.
Lufeng was puzzled: "Why is it that I can release Gathering Energy and Gathering Qi in an instant, but I can't seem to muster any energy after a long time?"
