Chapter 1475: Gaming Addiction

Once the Demonic Beasts were successfully subdued, Chen Xiaobei freed them from the gourd.

The Demonic Beasts who had been waiting eagerly outside were shocked to see Chen Xiaobei return alive with their Beast Kings. They really had inititally believed that Chen Xiaobei was going to die.

What was more mind-boggling was the fact that not only was Chen Xiaobei perfectly unscathed, but their three Demonic Beast Kings were strangely submissive towards Chen Xiaobei.

All one million Demonic Beasts were extremely confused; so much so that they even began to wonder if it was all just an illusion.

However, as loyal subjects to their Beast Kings and the fact that they needed the protection and governance of all three Kings, it was more important to them than anything that their kings came out alive.

As for how the three Demonic Beast Kings became so subservient towards Chen Xiaobei was a mystery to them.

Once outside the gourd, Chen Xiaobei treated the Tyrant Dragon King's wounds with some Taiyi Life Enhancement Pills.

With the Tyrant Dragon King around, these one million Demonic Beasts would be able to settle down and thrive on this planet freely.

That way, the merit points Chen Xiaonbei had earned for bringing the Overgrown Forest battle to an end could finally be consummated.

Once the Demonic Beasts had put down their roots, Chen Xiaobei would be able to bring the three Demonic Beast Kings with him to strengthen his force!

After everything was settled, Chen Xiaobei hopped onto the combat spacecraft and began his journey back to Silver Plume Planet.

With the spacecraft on autopilot, Chen Xiaobei freed his hands from the controls and took out his phone.

Chen Xiaobei was obviously eager to solve the Diao Chan issue, and could not bear to waste another minute.

He thought about contacting his Sifu but The Prime of Tongtian was probably still busy listening to the Ancestral Lord's lecture. It was better not to disturb him.

His good friends from his Brotherhood group could not be involved in Chen Xiaobei and Shen Gongpao's open rivalry and veiled strife.

In the end, Chen Xiaobei decided that the best person to consult was Acheron.

Acheron: Little brother Xiaobei, what do you need?

Chen Xiaobei: Brother, do you still remember the idea you suggested to me? The one about saving Diao Chan?

Acheron: Saving Diao Chan! Oh! Yes! Diao Chan is being held captive by Shen Gongpao. For her to be absolutely safe, you need to give her one million merit points, so that she could become an Earth God, and descend to the earth god's realm!

Chen Xiaobei: Yes, that's the one! That's why I've come to you today!

Acheron: Xiaobei, you must know that one million merit points is not a small number. It's difficult to obtain such an amount even for a deity! You can come to me about any other problems, but I simply can't give you this one million merit points!

Chen Xiaobei: Brother, you've misunderstood my meaning! I've already earned enough merit points!

Acheron: What?! How is that possible? 🤯

Chen Xiaobei: This this 100% true. By chance, I was able to resolve a war that involved two million lives, and earned one million merit points!

Acheron: Heavens! Who knew that that's even possible! Little Brother, you really are incredible!

Chen Xiaobei: Brother, don't need to praise me. Now that I have enough merit points, what should I do next? Should I just send the merit points to Diao Chan?

Acheron: Whoa! Whoa! Wait a minute! One million merit points is a lot! Are you really willing to just give it away?

Chen Xiaobei: Yes, I am!

Acheron: Brother, calm down! Diao Chan is a married woman! Even if you give her one million merit points, she will never devote her life to you!

Chen Xiaobei: Blaaaargh 🤮! Brother! What kind of person do you think I am? Do I seem like an asshole to you?

Acheron: Yesh, you do! Other than desiring Diao Chan for her beauty, I could not think of any other reasons that would make you want to hand over one million merit points for!

Chen Xiaobei: Blaaaargh 🤮! Man, it looks like I am more misunderstood than Dou'e! I swear on my life that I am saving Diao Chan for the sake of friendship! It has nothing to do with lust!

Acheron: Friendship? How could men and women share a purely platonic friendship?

Chen Xiaobei: I... Diao Chan and I are seriously, just pure, respectable friends! She drank my WaHaHa High-Cal Milk before and I received her Thousand Whispers Knot! That's all! It's just that simple! It's that pure and innocent!

Acheron: Explanations only mean that you're hiding something! The more you explain, the guiltier you are!

Chen Xiaobei: Fine! Fine! Fine! I won't explain anymore! Just tell me how to save her!

Acheron: You really are willing to let go of one million merit points?

Chen Xiaobei: Yes! For the sake of my friend! I'll do anything for my friends - even if I have to sacrifice my own life! It's just one million merit points! I can earn them back next time! If you were the one in trouble, I would have done the same! I would have given all one million merit points to save you!

Acheron: You would save me?

Chen Xiaobei: of course! I will always repay kind deeds with kind deeds! As long as you are a friend of mine, I will treat you with absolute sincerity and devotion! I will never abandon or betray you!

Acheron: The Prime of Tongtian has such great insight! Out of all the people, he was able to find a disciple like you! It's the Jieism's great fortune! It really is a great fortune!

Chen Xiaobei: Can we focus on the main topic? This matter cannot be delayed!

Acheron: Wrong! You cannot rush this matter!

Chen Xiaobei: Cannot rush? Why is that?

Acheron: Do you think that Shen Gongpao is going to let Diao Chan get to Earth God level? Don't forget that Shen Gongpao has the merit points ledger!

Chen Xiaobei: What you're saying you need the ledger for the exchange of Earth God levels?

Acheron: That's right! Mortals can either exchange merit points for Earth God levels, or work hard through cultivation to reach Earth God levels! Evil spirits, on the other hand, only have one option which is to collect merit points! To exchange for Earth God levels, they would need 9 million merit points! And the only way to do the exchange is through the rewards for upholding virtue and condemning evil in the merit points ledger! The ledger used to be managed by Jiang Ziya. But now, Shen Gongpao has taken over! Even if Diao Chan has enough merit points, there is no way Shen Gongpao would allow her to exchange them for Earth God level!

Chen Xiaobei: Then what should I do?

Acheron: All you can do now is wait! You have to wait until the merit points ledger is no longer in Shen Gongpao's hands. Only then can Diao Chan make the exchange!

Chen Xiaobei: When will the ledger not be in Sheng Gongpao's hands?

Acheron: That's hard to tell! Only when Shen Gongpao is either cultivating in seclusion, or handling some important matters that he cannot pry himself away from, would he then hand the merit points ledger to his subordinate who will help him manage it!

Chen Xiaobei: There's no way Shen Gongpao is going to cultivate in seclusion. As for keeping him busy, there might be a way!

Acheron: You have an idea?

Chen Xiaobei: I'm only 50% sure! It'll have to depend on whether or not Sheng Gongpao will get addicted to gaming!

Acheron: Addicted to gaming? What do you mean?

Chen Xiaobei: There's a type of game on earth that people of all ages, from primary school students all the way up to middle and old age people, are crazy about! And I am going to introduce this game to the Three Realms Red Envelope group!

Acheron: You want Shen Gongpao to play games so that he has no time to manage the merit points book? That's impossible!

Chen Xiaobei: Of course, it's possible! Stupid game ruined my life! This is not a joke! 😏
