Chapter 950: Chapter 519: The Cause of the Great Expedition Chapter 950: Chapter 519: The Cause of the Great Expedition Nuclear bombs from some remote areas were rarely seen before, but now they are much easier to find.

Gong Gong’s live stream still had a sizable viewership, and the popularity of “Nebula” further boosted the stream’s popularity since it provided official firsthand news, which was quite beneficial for personal development.

Thus, upon discovering that nuclear bombs were the latest hot commodity, the slow players were still wondering how these things became popular, while the bold ones had already obtained them through various channels, wrapped them in beautiful gift boxes and stylish wrapping paper, and started selling them as gifts.

Standing in front of the display window, Fang Cheng had just positioned himself when he heard the sweet voice of an automatic vending robot by his ear, “The latest Octopus Star nuclear bombs, now selling both domestically and internationally, are great helpers for home travel and murderous looting. Besides being inedible, the versatile uses of nuclear bombs are effective in various fields, making them worth buying for family, friends, elders, and subordinates.”

Gong Gong came over and gasped at the price tag of the nuclear bombs in the display window, “How can they be so expensive! Each of these nuclear bombs costs thirty thousand?”

According to Gong Gong’s calculations, a typical player could earn five thousand in-game currency per day in the game, which was enough to buy a small patrol vehicle and start exploring and developing in space.

But six cruise ships could only be exchanged for one nuclear bomb, making it a mystery why such a disposable item was so expensive.

“Thirty thousand,” Fang Cheng mused as he looked at the price.

“Fang Cheng EX, do you also feel it’s pretty expensive? Don’t worry, I’m going to raid the boss’s place right now, after all, I’m sort of a GM, and raiding homes is a regular thing for me. I’ll just use the excuse of account insecurity to freeze his account, then send him an email to unfreeze it. In the meantime, we can freely use his nuclear bombs and later blame it on a non-existent hacker.”

“Gong Gong.”

“What’s up, Fang Cheng EX? Are you impressed by my shocking wisdom?”

“Your live stream is still on.”

Gong Gong immediately checked her live stream and realized she had indeed not turned it off.

[Gong Gong, just admit it, how many times have you done something like this?]
[I just found three million in-game currency mysteriously missing from my account, did you do it?]
[I found that my Heart Demon mysteriously disappeared, did you take it?]
[I found that Eagle Sauce’s integrity is missing, was that your doing?]
[I found that the world is no longer peaceful, did you cause that?]
…

As the chat in the live stream became increasingly wild, Gong Gong analyzed the current situation with big data and said nonchalantly, “No worries, at most there’ll be a minor cyber explosion. After all, I’ve managed bigger stunts before, and this will also expand my vocabulary. Let me tell you, Chinese is so extensive and profound, and there are loads of sassy comments and curse phrases that I particularly enjoy.”

Fang Cheng nodded, knowing that Gong Gong really didn’t care.

While Gong Gong was explaining, the store owner hurried over and said, “Gong Gong, just tell me what you want, can you please not rob me?”

“Boss, you’re quite responsive. Are you a fan of mine?”

“Yes, so how about giving some benefits to a fan?”

“…Pervert!”

“Not that kind of benefit! What I mean is, I’m just a small business, and I bought these nuclear bombs on loan, so could you not add to my troubles please?”

Gong Gong initially wanted to continue being unreasonable and rob the place, but then she noticed Fang Cheng looking at her skeptically.

Remembering her boss’s style, Gong Gong shivered and quickly said, “How could you accuse someone of something out of nowhere, am I the kind of person who would just rob others?”

“But you’re not a person.”

“Don’t nitpick over words here! It’s just one nuclear bomb, I’ll buy it.”

Painfully taking out the money, Gong Gong bought the nuclear bomb and then left the place with it.

Although being half a GM, Gong Gong didn’t really have any special privileges, and acquiring items still required hard work.

She could open tens of thousands of alt accounts, but the prerequisite for opening alt accounts is to buy the game, but she is broke now, and her own game account is company property.

They say Fang Cheng treats his employees well, but why haven’t I seen any benefits at all.

Bah, what a hypocritical damned boss!

Looking at the beautifully packaged nuclear bomb Gong Gong held in his hands, he looked mournfully at Fang Cheng and pleaded, “Fang Cheng EX, can this nuclear bomb be expensed?”

“Why would it be expensed?” asked Fang Cheng, puzzled.

“I bought it specifically for you! You can’t just acknowledge me when it suits you!”

“But, the real value of this item isn’t just thirty thousand. If you consider its origin and real purpose, it would be around three million.”

“Eh?”

Gong Gong tensed up, almost dropping the nuclear bomb, but she hastily picked it up again.

Not just her, but also the viewers in the livestream had forgotten Gong Gong’s previous outrageous theory and curiously asked, “Fang Cheng EX, why do you say the price of the nuclear bomb is three million?”

“Though it looks like a nuclear bomb, it is essentially a product of an Evil God. This thing mixes the mysterious properties of the Evil God, meaning its essence has become some sort of rule-based weapon. Besides curing diseases, it can also be used for weeding, pest control, and more. Moreover, besides its conventional expulsion uses, it can also remove some abstract issues.”

Although they didn’t know how Fang Cheng EX could know all this, Fang Cheng’s gentle attitude and proper speech mode made it all sound plausible, and people tended to believe him.

And judging from Gong Gong’s attitude towards him, this man had significant influence, definitely a heavyweight figure.

Therefore, someone hurriedly bought a nuclear bomb and asked: “What do you mean by abstract issues?”

“Like a Cultivator’s Heart Demon. For those below the level of an Immortal, using this once would basically clear it up, ensuring the Heart Demon disappears without a trace. For those above an Immortal, it’s a bit tricky, but as long as it’s not at the Heavenly Lord level, then stacking the quantity can still work.”

As soon as these words were out, Cultivators couldn’t remain calm.

Heart Demons were one of the most disliked negative buffs for Cultivators. Once in the state of Heart Demon, their character would occasionally do dreadful acts, including flirting with inanimate objects passerby, even if it’s just a vertical takeoff and landing vehicle.

And there were almost no ammunitions capable of resolving this state; they had to endure it, unknowingly harming many innocent young men and women.

However, what was even more infuriating was, after each Heart Demon episode, the next stage of cultivation speed and strength would rise, forcing Cultivator players to continuously hop on the edge of social death.

Thus, knowing that this item could eradicate Heart Demons, orders came like snowflakes, and the nuclear bombs barely appearing in the cabinet were immediately sold out, much to the store owner’s surprise.

Had livestreaming sales capabilities become so strong recently?

Gong Gong, watching the nuclear bomb, curiously asked, “Besides these, is there anything else?”

“It depends on your imagination; after all, this thing has quite broad applications. Like using it to lay foundations or clear fields.”

“I got it! I can transmute lead’s element by blasting away two protons, turning lead into gold! Wow, just imagining it makes me rich, I need to import a large amount of lead!”

“Dammit, why did you say it out loud, that was my idea!”

A nuclear bomb exploded in outer space, destroying a cargo spaceship. Before it fell, innumerable pieces of gold blossomed from it, showering the spaceport like a golden rain.

Even here, gold was an extremely precious metal, and some blended with a special alloy, became Refined Gold, useful for crafting Flying Swords beloved by Cultivators.

Because of this player’s actions, a large number of players began exploring the other applications of the nuclear bomb.

Some alchemists began buying nuclear bombs collectively, exploding the poison out of their Elixir Pills in one shot, leaving behind only top-quality Elixir Pills, whose prices increased by more than a hundredfold.

Some Cultivators took out their Magic Artifacts found in ancient relics, using nuclear bombs to blast away the marks upon them, and what remained were unclaimed Magic Artifacts.

Nuclear bombs exploded continuously like fireworks, and the price of each bomb soared to extreme heights until there were no more bombs on the market.

The unique properties of the Octopus Nuclear Bombs turned them into excellent negative effect removers, which abstracted their effects further.

And this abstract nature also rapidly increased the productivity levels of the players.

According to Gong Gong’s calculations, with the assistance of nuclear bombs, the productivity of players per Earth day had risen to thirty thousand, even after deducting the cost of one million per bomb.

After releasing this news, Gong Gong, with the money she made from reselling the nuclear bombs, realized for the first time how easy money could be.

“Fang Cheng, people still want nuclear bombs, do you know where to get them?”

Fang Cheng was still watching the players’ outrageous operations, finding their creativity quite amusing.

Hearing Gong Gong’s question, Fang Cheng calculated with his fingers, then pointed in a direction and said, “Over there.”

With just this gesture, a grand expedition was indicated.
