Game Lord's Cultivation System

Yang Liqin had long noticed his presence when he had arrived at the location.

Therefore, she wasn't surprised by his warm touch around her waist.

"Well, I was bored to death waiting outside and I noticed these people are regaining their consciousness whereas you aren't. Thus, I have Kractacle to create a beast tide to lure these people away from you." Yang Liqin explained.

"And in the meantime, you realize this is a good chance to extort their resources, right?" Jiang Ming added.

Yang Liqin didn't deny her motive as she interlocked fingers with him.

Her body leaned closer to him as she whispered, "Weren't you planning on extorting them from the beginning? I am merely assisting in your plan."

Jiang Ming nodded his head. Given their alias as someone from the mountainside, it was the best idea to extort them blatantly.

"You deserve some rewards when we leave, aunt." Jiang Ming whispered sweetly to her. "The ancient ruin is going to collapse in about 30 minutes from now, so we must be quick. Otherwise, they can get out either way."

"Is that so? I'll order Kractacle to have the other beasts increase their killing intent and thirst."

Sometime later, Yang Liqin communicated telepathy to Kractacle regarding the new order. Once Kractacle received the new order, it quickly slammed its tentacle to the ground and screeched loudly.

The screech was a soundwave that could only be comprehended by other magical beasts around the area.

The moment they heard the screeching voice, their bodies started to tremble heavily and exuded a fierce killing intent.

One of the participants was unlucky enough to be able to resist the killing intent as he directly fainted from shock.

"Oh man, that kid is in trouble. At this rate, you'll become food for the magical beasts." Jiang Ming leaped down from the Kractacle's head as he announced. "If you all wish to be protected, then please pay for the protection fee."

"F-Fellow cultivator Jing, it's me, Ping Gong." Ping Gong cupped his fist and stepped forward. "We are acquaintances, right? You wouldn't want to watch me falling in the hands of these magical beasts."

Jiang Ming nodded his head. "Indeed, we can be counted as acquaintances, but that doesn't exclude you from the payment. However, I will give you a discount since we are acquaintances."

Ping Gong's expression brightened up when he heard that.

"I don't have much valuables on me that can satisfy you, but my clan owns a lot of business in the Northern Continent. This is a VIP card where you'll get 50% off any purchases you made." He offered.

Jiang Ming rubbed his chin slightly at his offer. The discounts were good, but then it might expose his identity.

Ping Gong sweated nervously when he realized how idiotic his offer might seem. It was clear to him that Jiang Ming wanted to hide his identity since he had a mask on. Yet he was indirectly asking him to expose his identity.

Just when he tried to think of another offering, Jiang Ming said, "Alright, give me the VIP card. Though I hope that you wouldn't be so foolish as to track me afterward when I made some purchases."

"O-O-Of course, I wouldn't dare to spy on you," Ping Gong stuttered nervously and handed the VIP card over to him.

Jiang Ming grabbed the card and pointed at the back, "Go hide behind Kractacle. No magical beasts would dare to target you now."

With that said, Ping Gong quickly went behind alongside his servants and was protected.

As for the other group of participants, they were now struggling hard in trying to defend themselves.

Hung Chao was smart to follow Ping Gong's action and managed to offer something decent in Jiang Ming's eyes to receive protection.

Time slowly passed by, and there were already five casualties so far that had fallen prey to the magical beasts.

As for Jiang Ming, he had returned side by side with Yang Liqin as he watched the scene calmly. He had already given them a chance to survive, but they refused his goodwill and wished to protect their resources.

What are resources if you can't even live the day to spend them?

Jiang Ming couldn't understand their thought process. "What a bunch of idiots. Once they die, their resources and wealth would drop. At that time, we can loot their dead bodies."

"You have to understand their feelings, Jing. Not everyone had the foresight to look at things in the future. Most people would only look at the benefits in front of them." Yang Liqin commented.

She was not surprised by the attitude of those groups of people who clearly wished to hog all the resources for themselves.

Another 10 minutes went by, and three more casualties had occurred with the magical beasts turning more and more bloodthirsty.

"AHHHHH!"

"N-No, I don't want to die."

"This is impossible to defend. The magical beasts aren't even afraid of dying."

They started screaming and giving up hope in trying to deflect the magical beasts. After all, it was a beast tide known for its ferocious and relentless attack.

No matter how much the beasts had fallen, the beasts would not stop their attacks. Instead, they would continue to pounce harder at their prey without feeling any pain.

It was at this moment that some stubborn people finally gave in and rushed toward Yang Liqin for assistance.

"Fellow cultivator Yiqin, I'm willing to offer up all my resources. Please give me protection." One of the people said and dropped his spatial ring to the ground.

His face was bruised and his left arm was bleeding a lot. It was clear that if he had waited any longer, then he would have been the next victim.

"Hmm, although your resources are a bit shabby. I shall allow it considering your sincerity." Yang Liqin yawned and said nonchalantly.

"Now move to the back of the Kractacle and stay with the others that had sought safety."
