Scumbag: Introduction to Immortal Cultivation[Transmigration Book]

The problem of how to form a team is not difficult to solve. Xiang Xiaolei, Mu Tianye, Huai Anruo and You Simiao originally came together, and they only need to find another person to form a team. At this time, one person just recommended himself.

"May I join your team, please?" The person who came was a teenager, dressed plainly, with a hairband tied casually, with his head slightly lowered, looking timid.

"You are..." Xiang Xiaolei felt a little familiar, "You are the one who did the test in the same cubicle as us!"

The man nodded emphatically, "It's fate that we met by chance. I came alone, so I would like to ask if I can join you."

"Of course, we happen to be short of one person." Huai Anruo said kindly.

The boy raised his head happily, it didn't matter if he didn't raise his head, but when he raised his head, everyone gasped.Because the boy's upper left face was completely burned.

Although it was covered with a few strands of bangs, it still couldn't hide the ferocious dark skin, and the scars twisted and twisted like earthworms crawling up the entire upper left face.

And his left eye is equipped with a prosthetic eye, which is not very delicate, the eyeball does not move, it is just embedded in the empty eye socket so that it will not be a black hole.

The lower left half and the right side of the face are complete, and it can be seen that it is a handsome child, if the burns are not too terrible.

"Thank you, my name is Qi Xingchen." He smiled happily, but when he laughed, only his right eye was squinted, and the left eye didn't change much because it was a prosthetic eye.This makes the smile look a bit unreal.

"Please come here to write down the names of the team after the formation." Guan Haoxuan was urging, and Zuo Danqing also came to help.

Everyone took a step back in unison and asked Huai Anruo to write their names, which was considered self-knowledge.

After receiving the talisman, the five of them were arranged to rest in a room.

"Could you ask the reason for the injury on your face?" Xiang Xiaolei asked, and added, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

"It's a thing of the past." Qi Xingchen didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, "This is a member of the Chiyan Hall, one of the demon sects, who set fire to our family in order to seize a cultivation secret handed down from my family. down."

"Back then, they locked our family in the scripture building, sealed the doors and windows, and asked us to hand over the secret books, otherwise they would set fire to the scripture building. My father refused to comply, and died together with my mother."

"Then you are lucky to be able to escape." Xiang Xiaolei sighed.

Qi Xingchen bowed his head and remained silent, probably because he was recalling the past.Xiang Xiaolei felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have asked him, and reached out to touch his head to comfort him, but he felt uncomfortable when he lifted it up, so he put it down again.

But when he put down his hand, Qi Xingchen had a hurt expression instead, and asked tremblingly, "Are you afraid of me?"

Xiang Xiaolei was stunned for a moment, then reached out and grabbed his hand, "How could it be?"

Qi Xingchen raised his head, looked at Xiaolei as if he couldn't believe it, then looked at Xiaolei's hand holding his, and immediately shook it back.Then he threw himself into Xiang Xiaolei's arms and said emotionally, "Can I recognize you as my brother?"

"Impossible!" Mu Tianye, who was already upset while watching, grabbed Qi Xingchen by the collar and carried him over, "He is my brother, not your brother."

Qi Xingchen glared at Mu Tianye angrily, and Mu Tianye said "Come on, hit me if you have the ability! Anyway, you can't beat me!"

"You are really welcome." Huai Anruo sneered at the side, leaned towards Xiao Lei, and was also warned by Mu Tianye, so he complained, "Your brother is really assertive."

Early the next morning, a group of five people went to Yuqiong Mountain Stream to catch silver flamingos.When they arrived, there were already several teams walking through the mountain streams, but no one could catch them yet.

It wasn't until I went down to catch it myself that I realized that the silver flamingo was flying very fast, fluttering past my eyes in an instant, and disappeared before I had time to react.

Mu Tianye can catch a few of them by virtue of his extraordinary speed and beast instinct.But when Huai Anruo, You Simiao and Qi Xingchen flew to catch them with their swords, the silver flamingo fluttered and changed direction before anyone flew over. It was diving again, and the direction changed too quickly, and it was impossible to keep up, let alone catch.

"If you continue to thump like this, let alone catch one hundred in two days, I think twenty will be enough." You Simiao complained, while looking at Xiang Xiaolei with disgust, "But even if you can only catch one, And better than someone who only knows how to bask in the sun."

Xiang Xiaolei knew he was wrong, and kept silent.He can't fly with a sword, nor is he as agile as Mu Tianye, who can jump high with a little force, so he can't play any role in the process of catching the silver flamingo.

Mu Tianye caught two and came back, sweating profusely from exhaustion.He wanted to grab a few more, but he only had two hands.

Looking at the silver flamingo that kept flapping its wings, everyone was dumbfounded again. How can we make this bird stay still and wait for its feathers to be plucked obediently?

"Look for a bamboo basket to cover the bird?" Huai Anruo rubbed his chin, "But weaving a bamboo basket is also very troublesome."

"How about tying its feet?" Qi Xingchen suggested, but the bird's claws were so thin and writhed non-stop, there was no way to tie them together.Plus they don't have a line.

They have to pluck three kinds of feathers, which are the down on the neck, the flight feathers on the wings and the tail feathers on the tail.If the silver flamingos can't be obedient and let them pluck their feathers, they can only pluck them indiscriminately, not to mention failing to collect the desired feathers, and harming the birds.

Xiang Xiaolei took a closer look at the flight trajectory of the silver flamingo. The main reason for the silver flamingo to shuttle in the mountain stream is to prey on the whitebait in Yuqiong stream.

The moment the whitebait jumps out of the water, the silver flamingo will fly into the water and pick up the silverfish accurately with its long beak.Their wings skimmed the water surface, creating circles of ripples, and then shook the water, soaring into the sky.

"I thought of a way to catch the silver flamingo." Xiang Xiaolei looked at Huai Anruo, "Take me to the room where the loom is placed on Qiongwan Peak."

"We haven't collected a thousand feathers yet." You Simiao reminded him, "We will be kicked out."

"I'll give it a try even if I'm kicked out," Xiang Xiaolei told his plan, "Since the female monks at Qiongwan Peak have looms, they should be able to weave nets. Let's use the nets to catch fish, and then lure The silver flamingo flies into the net. If the wing of the silver flamingo that flies into the net is soaked with a little more water, it will not be able to fly immediately, and it will be time to collect feathers."

Huai Anruo and Xiang Xiaolei entered the side hall where the looms were placed yesterday, and the waiting female monks came out to greet them, "Have you collected a thousand feathers so quickly?"

"I haven't collected it yet, but I would like to ask Sister Immortal, can you weave a net for us?" Huai'an Ruo asked politely.

I have to admire Huai'an Ruo as a character with all aspects. The female monk looks only seventeen or eighteen years old. If Xiang Xiaolei was asked, he would not be able to call her a fairy sister.

"It's fine to weave the web for you, but what reward do you have to pay?" The female monk smiled slightly, wondering if it was Huai Anruo who was so charming?Or people have already prepared.

"Can you see me?" Huai Anruo leaned forward again, the female monk blushed, and secretly covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiang Xiaolei was full of black lines, not wanting Huai Anruo to flirt and waste time, so he took out the one hundred talismans distributed yesterday from his bosom, "Can I pay with these talismans?"

There are spiritual power attached to the talisman seal, which is not an ordinary thing. If you go down the mountain and sell it on the black market, one piece can sell for one tael of silver.

"Yes, one net, one hundred talismans, would you like it?" The female monk turned to look at him, and continued to smile.

Huai Anruo stopped him, and asked in a low voice, "If we give them the talisman, we won't be able to paste the silver flamingo, what should we do?"

Xiang Xiaolei was not worried about this problem, he looked confident.

"The deal is concluded, please come over in two hours to get the net and deliver the talisman." The female monk gave them a purple petal as a proof.

In fact, when Xiang Xiaolei got the talismans yesterday, he kept thinking, since there are only [-] silver flamingos, wouldn't it be great to distribute [-] talismans to each team, a total of [-] talismans? Parts are useless?

Since most of them are not needed, wouldn't it be good to grab the ones that are not needed and use them?

But would it be against the rules to grab the talisman seal?

Judging from the reaction of the female monk just now, it should not violate the rules.In other words, that's how the test was designed.

Making talisman seals consumes spiritual power, even though the Xuankong Twelve Peaks are rich and rich in spiritual power, it would be too extravagant to just take these [-] pieces for the exam.

If you use talismans to exchange nets, you need [-] talismans for a net, and another [-] talismans to paste the silver flamingo, that is to say, you need a total of [-] talismans.Just grabbing the talisman seals alone can eliminate half of the team and recover at least half of the talisman seals.

Xiang Xiaolei thought for a while from the position of the chief examiner, and then understood the idea of ​​the exam.

The more talismans to change the net, the fewer silver flamingos that can be caught.Because at that time, even if there are enough nets, there will be no way to pluck the hair.It's like a supply and demand curve.One is that the more talismans you pay, the more nets you get.The other is that the more talismans paid, the fewer silver flamingos that can pluck their feathers.The position where the two curves intersect is an equilibrium point, which is also the optimal solution.

It's a pity that no team will willingly hand over the talismans to find an optimal solution, and everyone will only compete with each other.The result of the competition is either that there are more nets, or that there are fewer birds that can be caught.

Among them, the Twelve Peaks of Xuankong benefited, because no matter what kind, the Twelve Peaks of Xuankong could recycle talismans, protect the silver flamingo, and save the cost of examination materials.

If this exam is designed like this, there is no need to worry about breaking the rules by grabbing other teams' talismans.
