Chapter 1641 Sacrifice, the first pit in the Blue Star Domain!
Once you pass, you'll not only be on the right track, but you'll also receive a lot of attribute points to make up for the previous losses, and there might even be a surplus.
Unlike those people in her previous life, Ye Chuyun did not attempt to attack out of resentment.
He stepped forward and placed his right hand in the palm indentation of the device.
The instant his palm touched the dent, a notification sounded directly in his mind:
[A challenger has been detected to have chosen the sacrifice path.]
[Please select the amount of free attribute points to sacrifice: minimum 1000 points.]
[Sacrificing attribute points will be used to maintain the corridor's operation and open up the path forward. After the sacrifice, free attribute points will be permanently lost.]
[WARNING: The sacrificial process is irreversible.]
"A thousand points..." Ye Chuyun didn't even frown, silently thinking, "Sacrifice a thousand points."
hum!
The device lit up slightly, and Ye Chuyun immediately felt an invisible force being drawn out of her body, and the number of free attribute points on her attribute panel instantly decreased by one thousand.
For a total of over 300,000 free attribute points.
These 1,000 points are nothing.
At the same time, the seemingly indestructible gray stone wall in front slowly parted from the middle to both sides, revealing the corridor passage behind it.
Ye Chuyun nodded to herself, withdrew her hand, and stepped through.
After he passed through, the separated stone wall silently closed behind him, restoring itself to its original state, as if it had never been opened.
The corridor continued forward, and after walking about a hundred meters, another identical gray stone wall, along with that familiar hand-shaped device, blocked the way once again.
This time, the notification tone sounded directly:
[Please select the amount of free attribute points to sacrifice: minimum 2000 points.]
price goes up!
Ye Chuyun's eyes flickered slightly; just as she had suspected.
According to information from my previous life, the "toll" for the Evolution Corridor keeps increasing. The further you go, the more attribute points you need, and there is no pattern to it. It might be three thousand next time, and then jump directly to five thousand the time after that. It all depends on its mood.
He placed his hand on it again. "Sacrifice two thousand points."
Attribute points were deducted again, and the stone wall opened.
He continued on his way, offering sacrifices at every wall he encountered.
Three thousand points... four thousand points... five thousand points... eight thousand points...
Ten thousand.... Fifteen thousand.... Twenty thousand....
Attribute points are being lost like a flood.
Each sacrifice meant that the foundation he had painstakingly accumulated was diminishing.
This feeling of only losing money and not receiving anything, without any immediate returns, is enough to make most people hesitate, feel anxious, and even doubt whether they have fallen into an elaborate scam.
In fact, that was indeed the case in my past life.
After the special dungeon, the Evolution Corridor, was discovered and the conditions were met for entry, the initial group of challengers almost all sacrificed tens of thousands of attribute points, only to find that the corridor still seemed to have no end.
Having exhausted all his attribute points, he could only crash and exit the game.
When they exited the corridor and discovered that their hard-earned attribute points had truly vanished permanently, and they hadn't even seen a trace of the rewards, their anger and despair were unimaginable.
As a result, numerous posts filled with heartbreaking accusations began to appear on the forum.
"A shocking scam! The Evolution Corridor is nothing but a black hole that devours attribute points! Everyone, please do not go in!"
"I cried. All 80,000 attribute points I had saved up over the past year are gone. There are only walls and nothing else in there."
"Damn corridor, give me back my attribute points! What kind of bullshit opportunity is this? It's just empty promises."
"Damn it, reclaim your attribute points!"
"Those who have experienced it firsthand will tell you that going in is a loss, and a huge loss at that, unless you have so many attribute points that you don't know what to do with them."
"OP is a good person, I'll avoid this place."
"Thanks for the mine clearance, I almost couldn't resist going in to try it out."
Similar posts have emerged one after another, almost labeling the Evolution Corridor as the "number one pitfall in the Blue Star Region".
Almost everyone reached a consensus.
Anyone who goes to this place is a fool; there's no chance of finding a good opportunity.
However, there are always those oddballs who refuse to believe in superstition.
As Ye Chuyun mechanically sacrificed her attribute points, she recalled the once-sensational name from her past life.
Grand, the person who obtained this S-level talent in his previous life, was nicknamed "the miser".
In the early days of Blue Star Region, Ge Lang was not well-known and had mediocre combat strength; he was the kind of person who would be hard to spot in a crowd.
However, he has an extremely obsessive hobby: hoarding free attribute points.
He almost never uses free attribute points to enhance himself.
No matter how many free attribute points he received as rewards for defeating monsters, completing quests, or clearing dungeons for the first time, he treated them like the most stingy miser, hoarding them tightly and unwilling to spend a single penny.
His improvement in strength relied entirely on equipment, skill books, and his own slow cultivation.
This behavior was undoubtedly extremely foolish in the early stages, resulting in him being able to keep up with the main group in level, but his actual combat strength was far behind. He was often disliked when forming a team, and no one wanted to run dungeons.
Many people on the forum ridiculed him, thinking he was mentally unstable, living off a fortune while begging.
But Grande remained defiant, dismissing the mockery with a laugh.
No one knows what his mentality was. Perhaps it was a lack of confidence in his own potential, perhaps he was waiting for an opportunity he thought was worthwhile, or perhaps he simply had some kind of hoarding disorder.
Despite being labeled a useless person, he managed to accumulate attribute points by doing solo quests and gathering resources.
One year, two years... while most players were converting their attribute points into combat power, the number of free attribute points on his panel was expanding at an astonishing rate.
Just when Evolution Corridor's reputation for being a scam spread throughout the forums and everyone avoided it like the plague, Grande's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a treasure.
He used almost all of his stockpiled resources, trying every possible way to acquire more free attribute points.
They buy rare but unpopular quest items that can increase attribute points at high prices; they specifically seek out hidden quests that reward a lot of attribute points but are extremely time-consuming and laborious, and are considered useless; they even go to great lengths to farm low-level dungeons that only drop a small number of attribute point items.
Everyone thought he was crazy.
To invest precious resources and time in this notoriously unbelievable sinkhole—what else could it be but madness?
Faced with doubts and dissuasion, Grand just smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't understand. Some investments are not about short-term returns."
Then, amidst the stares of countless people who looked at him as if he were a fool, he resolutely stepped into the Evolution Corridor.
And then... that was it.
After he went in, he seemed to vanish into thin air, and there was no news of him for a long time.
The forum further confirmed that the Evolution Corridor was the ultimate scam, even claiming that attribute points accumulated by someone like Grand had been completely wiped out.
Six months later, Grand reappeared.
This time, he made a name for himself!
