Chapter 229 - 200: Demon Gun Knight
"If I have to keep at it, then I’ll keep at it!"
Wang Yi immediately took out the Golden Nail-Raking Tool and scraped it against the Terracotta Horse.
Then he used his No-Damage Attack to "repair" it!
Scrape, repair, scrape, repair...
He repeated this cycle more than thirty times. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the number of Terracotta Horses pulling the vehicle increased to six.
’It finally Enhanced again! It seems the chance of an Enhancement from repairs is very low. Or maybe... doing a major repair after severe damage increases the odds?’
Wang Yi stopped scraping the Terracotta Horses with the Golden Nail-Raking Tool. He realized that after this whole process, the vintage car’s collection value had become 10,056 Gold Coins.
Meanwhile, he himself had lost 22 Gold Coins!
’Forget it. I’ll just let nature take its course and fix it when it breaks. This Bronze Vehicle might become my main ride from now on. Even though it’s a bit ridiculous, the tangible, useful positive effects make it necessary. Plus, the chance to get stronger through repairs means this car has infinite growth potential...’
With this in mind, Wang Yi wanted to let Yuan Yao and Liu Qin drive the Bronze Vehicle so he could wait for it to break down, freeing him up to open the Golden Blind Boxes.
However, Yuan Yao and Liu Qin couldn’t get into the vintage car at all.
Without a certain status and position, one simply couldn’t board it.
’This vintage car actually discriminates against people. I have status and position, yet I’m still stuck being the driver...’
Wang Yi muttered to himself and ignored the vintage car for the moment. After performing his usual superstitious ritual, he opened the Golden Blind Box dropped by Luan Bu and the others.

’This haul has some pretty good stuff...’
Wang Yi rubbed his chin, pondered for five seconds, and responded to the system, "I choose the Demon Gun Knight’s Reclassification Certificate!"
A Golden Scroll immediately appeared before Wang Yi.
It flashed with a golden light six times, turning into [Demon Gun Knight’s Reclassification Certificate +6].
====

Status: Unsealed (Requires 64,000 Chaos Energy to unseal)

’This seems like a very powerful class. Just unsealing it requires 64,000 Chaos Energy...’
Wang Yi steeled his resolve, unsealed the Reclassification Certificate in his hand, and said to Yuan Yao, "Yuan Yao, go and ask General Xiang Yun to come here!"
"Yes!"
Yuan Yao was just about to leave.
When Wang Yi suddenly added, "Never mind, I’ll go find him myself!"
With that, Wang Yi climbed aboard the Bronze Vintage Car and shouted, "Giddy-up!" The six Terracotta Horses started moving. They pulled Wang Yi for a hundred meters before breaking down. The reason: the vehicle’s canopy had fallen off.
Wang Yi got out, used his No-Damage Attack, and punched the Bronze Vintage Car 32 times and kicked it 16 times to fix the canopy, happily pocketing 15 Gold Coins for his troubles.
He continued driving. Just as he passed through the portal to Victory Fighting Land, both of the bronze wheels fell off simultaneously.
Wang Yi once again repaired the car with his iron fists. This time, it took a full 62 punches and 26 kicks to fix it, earning him 19 Gold Coins as a repair fee.
After that, Wang Yi basically had to stop and fix the car every two or three hundred meters. He was literally "beating a ride" the whole way, taking over half an hour just to leave the Water Curtain Cave.
By the time Wang Yi found Xiang Yun at the General’s Camp, two hours had passed. The Bronze Vintage Car was now being pulled by eight Terracotta Horses, and its collection value had reached 10,398 Gold Coins.
Wang Yi had also earned over three hundred Gold Coins. He felt that, regardless of anything else, just repairing this vintage car was already a very profitable venture.
"Xiang Yun!" Wang Yi didn’t waste any time. He took out the [Demon Gun Knight’s Reclassification Certificate], handed it to him, and said, "This item... only you are worthy of possessing it. Do not fail my expectations!"
When Xiang Yun saw the [Demon Gun Knight’s Reclassification Certificate], he was overcome with excitement and immediately knelt on one knee to pledge his loyalty.
Wang Yi helped him up. After a moment’s thought, he also took out the [Mobile Storm·Ion Beast] and said, "What the heck, I’ll give you this treasure too. Reclassify as a Demon Gun Knight, and with the Ion Beast as a mount, your combat power will be significant. Oh right, you’ll also need a spear. Go to the Fine Weapons Factory and ask Fish-Transformed Dragon for one. He’s very approachable!"
"Yes! Thank you, my Lord! Thank you, my Lord!"
"Call me ’Sir’ or ’Boss’ from now on!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
Xiang Yun was ecstatic. He immediately reclassified as a Demon Gun Knight and mounted the Ion Beast. In an instant, he looked like a demon-subduing lord descended from the heavens, incredibly majestic and imposing.
Wang Yi checked Xiang Yun’s current status information.
====
Name: Xiang Yun
Class: Demon Gun Knight
Level: Level 1
Innate Skills: [Might], [Dragon Gall], [Breaking Array], [Blood War]
Professional Skill: [Fourfold Magic Energy] Level 1
Description: Xiang Yun is valiant in battle, a born Military General. He is righteous, loyal, brave, and tenacious, skilled at breaking through encirclements and erupting with power in times of crisis.
====
’Not bad at all!’
Wang Yi thought to himself, ’This Grand General, Xiang Yun... I’ll have to use my No-Damage Attack on him more often in the future, just to make sure his loyalty is maxed out!’
Xiang Yun stopped grinding the General’s Tomb and quickly rode the Ion Beast toward the Fine Weapons Factory.
Zhang Lengzi, Yang Qingniu, and the others who had been grinding the General’s Tomb with Xiang Yun were incredibly envious. They gazed at Xiang Yun’s departing figure, sighing endlessly, and said things in front of Wang Yi about the boss playing favorites.
Wang Yi knew these guys were saying it on purpose, just trying to fish for some benefits. But as a Lord, he had to maintain his authority, so he started punching and kicking them until they were shouting in pleasure.
"What are you guys so envious about? Don’t you have the Jade Jiaolong? Just perform well, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get stronger..."
Wang Yi lectured Yang Qingniu and the others for a bit.
Then he got back on the Bronze Vintage Car, thinking he should find some open land to build the paper mill, Printing Factory, explosives factory, and Watch Factory.
But after shouting "Giddy-up!", the Bronze Vintage Car traveled less than two hundred meters before breaking down again, still within the General’s Camp. This time, the rear compartment broke clean off, sending Wang Yi sprawling face-first onto the ground.
Yang Qingniu, Zhang Lengzi, and the others quickly ran over.
"Boss, are you alright?!"
"Boss, your car is too old!"
"Boss, there’s a Rock Giant Scorpion over here. Why don’t you ride it back?"
"Yeah, you should ride the Rock Giant Scorpion back!"
The group said worriedly.
Wang Yi got up, dusted himself off, and said, "No need. I’ll ’beat a ride’ back!"
And so, Wang Yi stubbornly "beat his ride" home, starting and stopping the whole way and attracting a crowd of onlookers.
He couldn’t help but wonder: could riding around in the Bronze Vintage Car like this really make the residents of his territory feel proud and indirectly raise their loyalty?
「At this moment, in the Valon World, on the Southern Continent, within an oasis in the Yellow Sand Desert.」
Luan Bu crawled out of a Yellow Sand Altar.
That Yellow Sand Altar was called the Soul Altar.
The Soul Altar was a special building that, upon construction, granted the Lord Player one chance at resurrection. However, this resurrection wasn’t free; it required a large sum of Gold Coins to be submitted beforehand.
"Dammit, a total wipeout! Who the hell is that Yang Jian? He’s ridiculously strong. He even slaughtered the Star Sky Giant Beast Roushan Duo’Er! Mad, I even dropped the Super Explosion Bomb, and the Black Squid Battleship was destroyed... The losses this time are just too great..."
Luan Bu cursed under his breath, brushing the sand from his body before looking back at the Soul Altar.
Ruan Saint, Chen Lebao, and the others were his subordinates, a status acknowledged by the Soul Altar. Therefore, Luan Bu could use the Soul Altar to resurrect them, but he had to do it within 24 hours.
If he missed the deadline, they would truly become Sufferers and would never be able to return.
However, resurrecting subordinate Players also cost Gold Coins, and the more powerful they were, the higher the resurrection fee.
Luan Bu was completely broke now. He was wiped clean, without a single Gold Coin to his name, and couldn’t possibly afford the resurrection fees.
’I have to resurrect all of them, not a single one can be left behind. Whether I can rise again, whether I can get my revenge, it all depends on them. I have to raise the Gold Coins as fast as possible!’
Luan Bu made a quick decision. He soon found one of his indigenous subordinates in the territory and ordered, "Gather up the Binding Ropes and Starry Sky Skateboards as fast as you can. Then take these two specialty products to Feisha City, find Chief Manda, and get me Gold Coins!"
The indigenous subordinate was shocked. "My Lord, didn’t you say you would never sell these two specialty products?"
"Circumstances have changed. Remember, you must raise Ten Thousand Gold Coins for me before nightfall!"
Luan Bu clenched his fists.
His territory’s development was actually quite excellent. Not only could it produce powerful items like Binding Ropes and Starry Sky Skateboards, but it could also train powerful soldiers like Scorpion Knights and Yellow Sand Warriors. As long as he could find a way to contain Yang Jian, he felt his Yellow Sand Oasis could definitely contend with that Huaguo Mountain.
「Meanwhile, in the Typhon World, on the Eastern Continent, a helicopter was flying along the upper reaches of the Jade River.」
Inside the helicopter sat a man in red official robes. He was sitting prim and proper. Peeking through the helicopter window at the ground below, he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, "The things these Aliens create are truly magical. This helicopter is surely a creation of the Immortals!"
A pale-faced Eunuch beside him said, "Sir, we are about to reach our destination. According to the information provided by the Xiaoliang State Preceptor, that Sun Wukong is just ahead. I just wonder if we’ll be able to successfully recruit him."
"The situation is urgent, and the rewards set by the cabinet are extremely generous. Once Sun Wukong accepts the offer and joins the court, he’ll practically be a king of a different surname. He’ll even get to marry the most beautiful woman in the world. With such a wonderful offer, I really can’t think of any reason he would refuse!"
The man in the official robes said, "Once I meet him, I will certainly be able to persuade him."
