Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 438 The Key to Maintaining Game Vulnerabilities

"Haha, you're just saying that, and now you're blaming me." Shen Yun smiled and took a sip of tea.

I must say, Tu Miaoling is quite adorable, and she has a unique charm.

The event continues.

When his character encounters a cave, he buys information about it; if he encounters a powerful monster, he gives a warning to save time.

By the end of the event, the three characters had opened over a thousand caves in total!

Shen Yun also spent 203 million game coins!

In addition to the five [Character Reset Cards] that Tu Miaoling obtained earlier, there are two other top-tier items:

[Materials available for feedback: Primordial Origin Stone: A wondrous stone born from the self-generation of the universe. After obtaining it, cultivators can infuse their own insights into it to forge a magical weapon that suits them, possessing extraordinary power.]

[Material Quality: Dao Ancestor Level]

[Special Ability: To be developed]

[Note: This item is extremely difficult to forge, but players can use a special item—the Custom Forging Table—to forge a magical artifact to their liking.]

He spent fifty million to acquire this fist-sized, grayish stone!

'It's a pity it's a material for a magic weapon...' Shen Yun muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

'I already have a Void-level Creation Cauldron; forging another magic weapon would just result in it gathering dust...'

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pressed the voice button:

"Qingxue, the stone you just obtained is of good quality; it'll be perfect as your natal magic weapon. However, your cultivation level is still too low. To forge this Primordial Origin Divine Stone, you'll need at least the Dao Ancestor level, and it will require countless years."

"I will forge it for you now. Simply infuse the stone with your soul power, depicting the shape of the magical artifact you envision."

Characters also need to be developed, and if there is no shortage of magical treasures, giving this stone to Qingxue is undoubtedly the most suitable option.

"Young master, this is a favor item, and of such high quality!" Back in reality, Ling Qingxue was unwilling to accept it and shook her head repeatedly.

"Qingxue doesn't urgently need the magic weapon right now, so please take it, young master."

The important thing is to find items to win the young master's favor; she can't possibly use them for personal purposes.

'It's just a small stone, not worth my attention.' Shen Yun began his masterful deception:

'Don't worry, just do as I say.'

"Alright then, thank you for your trouble, young master." Ling Qingxue nodded.

She knew that once the young master said such things, the tone was set, and she could no longer refuse.

After careful consideration, she infused the stone with the image of the magical artifact she envisioned.

Shen Yun then took out the [Custom Forging Table] that had been gathering dust in his account warehouse.

The custom forging table was an exclusive reward he received when he won first place in a cross-server arena battle back on Earth.

This item can forge any magic weapon up to the Dao Ancestor level in a short time, and it comes with the Dao Inscription [Peerless Among Heroes] effect!

The effect of this inscription is that it can emit an invincible aura to influence opponents, creating an extremely oppressive feeling.

Combined with Ling Qingxue's invincible Dao Heart, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

'If I forge it myself, I don't know when I'll be able to produce a finished product...' Shen Yun put the Primordial Origin Stone into the forging table.

If it were up to him or Qingxue to forge it, they wouldn't even dream of it without the help of special items.

The forging platform did its job well, and it forged a Dao Ancestor-level weapon of the same level, so it was not wasted.

[Ding! The appearance of the forged treasure has been detected as being based on the character Ling Qingxue, not what the player envisioned. Do you wish to continue forging?]

Having made his decision, Shen Yun didn't hesitate and raised his hand to point:

[Continue forging!]

Projecting.

The forging platform gradually became ethereal, while the Primordial Origin Stone inside began to dissolve and transform, forming a magical artifact that closely resembled gloves.

As time passed, and until the forging platform completely disappeared, the Primordial Origin Stone finally took shape.

After glancing at it, Shen Yun's expression turned somewhat strange:

"These are... lace gloves?"

In the projection, a pair of gray mesh gloves radiated a dazzling light.

The gloves also have lace trim at the wrist, which looks quite pretty.

He never expected that the magical artifact Ling Qingxue had in mind would be so... exquisite?

'As long as she likes it…' Shen Yun put the gloves into Ling Qingxue's spatial ring, but still couldn't help asking out of curiosity:

"Qingxue, did you find the inspiration for this magic weapon from those pieces of equipment?"

'Hmm...' Ling Qingxue, taking out the gloves, looked them over with a slightly flushed face:

'Qingxue proves her Dao through strength, so she wanted a pair of gloves that suited her perfectly. This style is quite beautiful, so I decided to have it made.'

She genuinely thought it looked good.

However, the equipment the young master gave her was too exquisite, so it seems that these gloves also have other wonderful uses, which is why her magic weapon also has a transformation effect.

She certainly wouldn't dress like this in front of outsiders; she could just wear something simpler.

When she meets the young master, she will dress up beautifully.

'To this day I still don't understand the purpose of these gloves. I'm a little embarrassed to ask you, young master. I'll look into the secrets of the Hehuan Sect when I have the chance, to see if there are any related records...'

"I'm glad you like it." Shen Yun smiled slightly; gloves were a useful item, after all.

Next, he looked at the second top-tier item of the event, a key that cost a whopping 8 million:

[A special key (player-exclusive item; item description will appear upon acquisition)]

The game does this well; when a cultivator obtains player-type items, there are no notifications to prevent it from being detected.

These items will only have a notification once the player obtains them.

After Shen Yun added it to his personal account's inventory, the item's relevant information appeared:

[Rare Causality Item - Game World Maintenance Key: Given that [Seeking Immortals] is a mobile game, non-game items may generate game viruses, causing game coding errors. Players can use this key to repair these vulnerabilities and prevent them from occurring.]

[Note: Once the key fixes a game vulnerability, it will store the bug's capabilities, allowing players to exploit the bug for personal gain.]

[Number of uses: 5]

'Does the Heavenly Dao Game also have loopholes?' This was the first thought that came to Shen Yun's mind when he saw the item description.

But after reading it carefully, I understood.

The hint mentions "cause and effect" and "maintenance," which can be interpreted as related settings that will harm the game after its release.

As we all know, cheats are the most troublesome tool for all kinds of games!

With this key, the repairs can be carried out.

However, even if he encountered a cheat, Shen Yun was not afraid, because he happened to have a special item in his hand:

[Extraordinary Privilege Card]!

This item allows him to ignore the game and weaken his abilities in any way!

This naturally includes game-based cheats.

Even if the opponent gains extraordinary abilities through cheats, they will be ineffective against him.

'But with this key, I can unlock at least five game bugs and cheat a bit…' Shen Yun stroked the key, which was crafted from data patterns, and chuckled to himself.

'That way, my cheating will be perfectly legitimate...'
