#776 - I'll catch you even if you have to pay!
After the flash of lightning, the figure of the Thunder Chaos Bell distanced itself from Qin Buyi once again.
Seeing this, Qin Buyi continuously used his great divine ability, the Golden Light, attempting to catch up with the Thunder Chaos Bell.
The result was predictable; the distance between them grew larger and larger, until finally, Qin Buyi's vision was reduced to a small dot of the Thunder Chaos Bell.
Faced with the Thunder Chaos Bell's frantic escape and its successful getaway, Qin Buyi simply stopped chasing.
Given up? Not at all. Qin Buyi was not one to give up easily.
If he couldn't catch up, there was someone who could.
That someone was naturally the System!
Qin Buyi thought to himself, "Calling System, calling System..."
The classic system introduction rang in Qin Buyi's ears:
[Oh, my foolish, weak host, have you encountered some difficulty that you summon this great System?
[Don't speak yet, let this great System guess!
[Is it that you want this great System to retrieve that Thunder Chaos Bell for you?]
Qin Buyi said with a face full of black lines, "Since you already know, why waste words? Get to it!"
The System remained unmoved and said: [Since you want this System to take action, then we have to talk about the price!
[According to the standards of your Blue Star, even actors have appearance fees, let alone such a great existence as this System!
[So, shouldn't you also pay me some price!]
Qin Buyi had a look that said, 'I knew it.'
Asking the System to take action without spending money? That was impossible! Unless the sun rose from the west!
Otherwise, as long as the sun still rose in the east and set in the west, with the System's style, without talking about money, don't even think about getting it to work!
Qin Buyi cautiously said, "Speak, how much money do you want."
"I'll say it in advance, I just want you to bring back this Thunder Chaos Bell, don't ask for the moon!
"You also know that I'm from a humble background and can't afford it!"
The System said: [Host, look at what you're saying! Am I that kind of System!
Qin Buyi thought in his heart, "You are exactly that kind of System!"
[This System is so fair and great, the asking price is definitely not high!
[Besides, you used to be from a humble background, but you're not anymore! Isn't that right, Qin Emperor!]
Hearing the words 'Qin Emperor', Qin Buyi instinctively felt an ominous premonition.
Soon, this ominous premonition came true!
The System said: [Host, you currently have 454 million System Store points in your balance. I won't ask for too much! Just give me a small goal!]
Qin Buyi blankly said, "What? What small goal!"
Having been away from Blue Star for a long time, Qin Buyi didn't immediately react to the 'small goal' meme!
The System said: [Tch~ It's a waste that the host is a native of Blue Star, and you don't even know what a small goal is?
[Then this System will tell you clearly, give me 100 million System Store points!]
"Oh, come on, why don't you just rob me! To chase a broken bell, you're asking me for 100 million System Store points!"
"You still say this isn't asking for the moon, then what is it!"
After the System finished speaking, Qin Buyi instantly understood what a small goal meant!
This made Qin Buyi's mentality somewhat explosive! He only had so few System Store points, and this System was still eyeing them! It's simply inhuman!
The System said: [It's absolutely conscientious, okay! The Thunder Chaos Bell alone has no value!
[But if it's combined with the Thunder Taiji Diagram and the Thunder Pangu Banner, the value is absolutely astonishing!
[If it weren't for the fact that the weak host is currently short on money, I definitely wouldn't give you this price!
[This System originally wanted 1 billion System Store points...]
Hearing what the System said, Qin Buyi decisively seized the key point and said, "System, what did you just say?"
"The Thunder Taiji Diagram, Thunder Pangu Banner, and Thunder Chaos Bell can be combined together?"
This was originally a guess in Qin Buyi's heart.
After obtaining the Thunder Chaos Bell, he wanted to see if he could combine this Thunder series of the Three Treasures of Creation!
He never expected to get the answer from the System here.
The System said: [With your weak host's abilities, wanting to combine these three Thunder series together is simply impossible!
[But you have this System! As long as you are willing to pay System Store points, I will help you combine these three things together!]
As soon as Qin Buyi heard that it would cost System Store points again, he said, "System, you know my assets, just that little bit, you decide the price."
The System said: [It's okay, you can pay in installments!]
Before Qin Buyi could ask what paying in installments meant, he heard a system notification in his ear:
[Ding! Collection Mission: Thunder Pangu Axe triggered!]
[Host has already collected the Thunder Taiji Diagram, Thunder Pangu Banner, and only needs to obtain the Thunder Chaos Bell to completely unlock this mission!]
[Time limit: Thirty minutes, obtain the Thunder Chaos Bell.]
[Mission Reward: Open subsequent Thunder Pangu Axe mission.]
[Mission Penalty: None!]
(Warm reminder: After thirty minutes, this mission will automatically be considered a failure.)
(Note: This mission can only be opened once in a lifetime! After failure, it can never be opened again!)
Qin Buyi stared at this newly appeared collection mission with a face full of black lines.
Needless to say, it must be the System's doing.
The purpose is very simple, that is to enhance its dominant position in this negotiation.
If the mission is considered automatically failed after more than thirty minutes, and it cannot be opened a second time.
That would mean that the Thunder Taiji Diagram and Thunder Pangu Banner that Qin Buyi had previously obtained would completely become waste products, with no use at all.
How could Qin Buyi accept this? This was something he had exchanged for pain and being ravaged in thunder tribulations time and time again.
If it became a waste product like this, it would really be those four words: wasting resources!
Qin Buyi did not doubt what the system mission said about not being able to open it a second time.
The System may seem carefree, but in some aspects, its principles are indeed strong to the point of explosion!
If it says it won't open a second time, then it definitely won't open a second time!
This is very similar to Qin Buyi. If Qin Buyi says he will blast the enemy into slag, then he must blast them into slag...
After Qin Buyi figured this out, he said in a resigned tone, "I'll give you 100 million System Store points, hurry up and get to work!"
When the System saw that Qin Buyi agreed, it immediately perked up and said: [Host, you should have been so sensible earlier! You had to make this System create some kind of mission! How naughty!]
[Ding! Host's System Store points are being deducted...]
[Ding! Deduction completed, now the host has 354 million System Store points left.]
Looking at his System Store point balance, Qin Buyi's heart ached even more, as if it were bleeding!
In the next second, something appeared in front of Qin Buyi, it was the fleeing Thunder Chaos Bell!
