[Zhu Zhuyun:???]
At this moment.
Zhu Zhuyun was very dazed. She felt that in these past few days, she would finally find an opportunity to be with Leon.
However.
The rewards had already been issued in advance?
Zhu Zhuyun: No, I haven't gotten on the bus yet, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!
Slap! Slap!
Zhu Zhuyun reached out and patted Zhu Zhuqing's perky buttocks, shouting, "Zhuqing, wake up for a moment and claim your reward."
"Fortunately, today's Administrator reward is one for Everyone. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't have been able to grab it."
"What?"
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes groggily.
[Zhu Zhuqing received a red packet: Three levels of Spirit Power...]
[Zhu Zhuqing:???]
[Number Nine: Where's Yan Yan?]
[Xiao Wu: She's here. She was too tired last night and went to bed early today.]
[Dugu Yan received a red packet: Two levels of Spirit Power...]
[Dugu Yan: I'm the last one?]
[Liu Erlong: Um, I have a friend who wants to ask, can the next Administrators to be promoted still receive this reward?]
[Tang Yuehua: Yes, I am that friend.]
[Winter Cutie: I'm dying of envy. You guys... how many levels of Spirit Power have you snatched from the last two Group Chat achievement grand prizes?]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Brother Leon, I want it too!]
[Number Nine: Thinking about it won't work; even if you want it, you have to wait in line.]
[Bo Saixi: I'm so frustrated. I haven't snatched a single First Level Spirit Power so far, but for you guys, snatching them is as easy as drinking water. Is there no law in this Group Chat anymore?]
[Sea Goddess Douluo: High Priest, haven't you been snatching rewards from the "Law" himself all along?]
[Ma Xiaotao: I want rewards, I want teleportation rewards, I want to become an Administrator!]
[Ling Luochen: Wanting it won't work either; you have to wait in line.]
[Shui Yue'er: Huo Wu, where's your reward?]
[Huo Wu: I don't know, maybe my number hasn't come up yet.]
[Dugu Yan: Melon melon melon!]
[Dugu Yan: Ah, wait, I need to keep sleeping. I'll only have melons to eat when I wake up tomorrow. Goodnight!]
[Call Me Her Majesty: Goodnight!]
On this side.
As Leon's Spirit Power Level increased, he was now able to attach a second spirit ring to his second spirit.
[second spirit ring attached. Unlocking the second layer of the Eighty-Nine Arcane Art. About to enter cultivation...]
At the moment Leon entered closed-door cultivation, a new prompt appeared in the Group Chat.
[During the Group Owner's Enlightenment, Group Chat upgrades are paused. All group members receive one reward, and all Administrators receive two additional rewards.]
[Everyone:???]
[Liu Erlong: What happened?]
[Bai Chenxiang: I-I don't know. It seems to say Leon has had an Enlightenment, so the Group Chat upgrade is paused, but Everyone gets a reward?]
[Shui Yue'er: Huh? How can we accept this? We haven't even arrived yet.]
[Shui Bing'er: For real?]
[Bibi Dong: What is Leon doing?]
[Jiang Nannan: Brother Leon, he... he seems to be in cultivation. He told me just now that he was going to absorb a Spirit Ring.]
[Ning Rongrong: Does absorbing a Spirit Ring require giving Everyone a reward?]
[Bo Saixi: I think I understand. Leon's cultivation this time might take some time, so the Group Chat paused the upgrade but also issued compensatory rewards to us.]
[Bo Saixi: Could it be... am I finally going to get my wish?]
[Ma Xiaotao: Ah? Then even if I get the reward and go find Leon, he won't have time!]
[Winter Cutie: You guys wait a second. Leon has entered cultivation and might need some time, so you won't be able to laugh at me for a while, right?]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Yes, indeed!]
[Call Me Her Majesty: Still copying the way I talk? I'll really hit you!]
[Congratulations to all Group Administrators. Obtained: god-bestowed spirit ring (advanced version), First Level Spirit Power (divine force), Group Chat Instant Teleportation ×2.]
[Congratulations to all Group Administrators. Obtained: god-bestowed spirit ring (advanced version), First Level Spirit Power (divine force), Group Chat Instant Teleportation ×2.]
[Congratulations to all Group members. Obtained: god-bestowed spirit ring (advanced version), First Level Spirit Power (divine force), Group Chat Instant Teleportation ×2.]
[Bo Saixi: It's here! It's really here! It's been so hard. After being in the group for so many days, I've finally hit the pity reward.]
[Sea Goddess Douluo: I have a reward too!]
[Ma Xiaotao: Ah, my Instant Teleportation reward! I can finally go to Douluo World 1. Leon, I'm coming!]
[Bai Chenxiang: Xiaotao, wait. Leon is cultivating, and it looks like it will take some time. I think it's better if you wait for him.]
[Gu Yuena 1: First Level Spirit Power... I actually got it so easily?]
[Gu Yuena 2: I got it too. The system spirit ring doesn't seem very useful. Does anyone want to trade with us?]
[Ning Rongrong: I can't use it all, I simply can't use it all. There are too many rewards.]
[Xiao Wu: I'm dazed too. Suddenly getting three God Bestowed Spirit Rings, three levels of Spirit Power, and six teleportations. How are we supposed to use them all!]
[Number Nine: Based on the System rewards the Group Chat issued, Leon's closed-door cultivation this time will probably take about two months, right?]
[Everyone:???]
[Winter Cutie: You won't be able to eat my melon tomorrow, and you won't be able to eat it the day after either. Plus, I got rewards! Hahaha!!]
[Winter Cutie: That's too cool!]
...Time flies like an arrow, and the years pass like a shuttle.
In a flash.
More than two months passed.
Leon suddenly opened his eyes. A long golden rope had appeared in his hand. This was the new Magic Treasure unlocked by his second spirit ring—the demon binding rope.
Of course.
Unlocking the Magic Treasure wasn't the troublesome part; this session of cultivating the second layer of the Eighty-Nine Arcane Art was what had been quite difficult.
"System, don't we have some... time adjustment function where one day outside equals one year of cultivation?"
Ding!
[It was already active when the Host was cultivating.]
Alright then!
Leon didn't say anything more. It made sense! Without such a function, if he wanted to Cultivate a technique like the Eighty-Nine Arcane Art, it would probably take a very long time.
[Leon: Ahem.]
[Everyone:???]
[Call Me Her Majesty: Oh no! The Group Owner has come back from the dead!]
[Number Nine: Leon, you've finally finished your cultivation.]
[Ma Xiaotao: Ahhh!! I finally waited for you. Leon, can I go find you right now?]
[Red Dream Dust: I want to, I want to go find you!]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: We... we're about to start the Freshman Competition. Can I go find you after I'm done? Brother Leon!]
[Bibi Dong: Leon, I'm currently in the Slaughter City with Xiao Ya. We'll head back once she makes it out.]
[Liu Erlong: Leon, oh Leon... this wait has been so bitter for me!]
[Dugu Yan: Melon melon melon! No, wait, what I want to eat now is Leon!]
[Ning Rongrong: Brother Leon, you're finally out. I've been waiting for you every day. I didn't even dare go home for fear of missing you.]
[Winter Cutie: Uh??]
[Winter Cutie: Why do I feel like these two months went by so fast? They passed Instantly. Does this mean people are really going to eat my melon tomorrow?]
[Leon: Yes, yes. We'll eat your melon tomorrow. We'll definitely eat your melon.]
[Wang Dong: I want to check the cards!]
