My chat group is full of female losers

Chapter 54 Return
Chu Lu had a headache at the moment.

It seems that Cuihua has some secrets, but the problem is that she has no idea how to solve it.

He opened the task interface of the chat group again and found that the task could now be confirmed as completed.

So he thought to himself: Never mind, let’s just leave it this way for now.

He stood up to leave.

"Hey! Why are you leaving?" Cuihua said in shock, "Let me out too!"

"No rush, just stay in there for a while." Chu Lu said.

"How can this be! We are from the same hometown!"

Chu Lu ignored Cuihua's cry. He returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and thought carefully again to see if there was anything he had missed.

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no problem.

Marquis Zhenbei is bound to fail, and it will probably not be long before he receives news that Marquis Zhenbei has been imprisoned.

As for Liu Jinli, who was released together with the Queen, he had been captured again long ago.

"Yeah. I shouldn't be needed here." Chu Lu nodded and said, "Xu Li Niang, the matter has been resolved. It's almost time for me to go back."

"Thank you, Chu Lu." Xu Li Niang thanked sincerely, but then she asked, "But what should we do with Cuihua?"

"It's up to you to decide." Chu Lu said, "Whether you want to provide her with good food and drink, or torture her all day long, it's up to you to decide."

Chu Lu thought that there was not much grudge between him and Cuihua, so he had no urge to do anything. Not to mention that he was an outsider in this matter. But Xu Li Niang was different. Her suffering in her previous life and troubles in this life were all caused by Cuihua. Therefore, how to deal with Cuihua should be left to her to decide.

"Of course." Chu Lu paused and said, "If possible, it's best to keep her alive for the time being."

After all, Chu Lu was still very curious about her secrets.

Xu Li Niang was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, I will spare her life!"

"That's good." Chu Lu said, and was about to click to confirm the completion of the mission and return. He stretched out his finger halfway, suddenly felt a little uneasy, stopped and said: "Wait a minute, you won't let her run away, will you?"

Xu Li Niang: “???”

Xu Li Niang: "She's already like that, how stupid must I be to let her run away!"

Chu Lu: "No, I'm still a little worried, you should just kill her."

Xu Li Niang: "I wouldn't... well... what you said makes sense."

Chu Lu: "Remember to do it thoroughly. Make sure it's dead."

"……it is good."

After saying that, Chu Lu pressed confirm and chose to return to the main world.

A white light flashed before his eyes, and his body had a strong sense of weightlessness.

And when all this disappeared, he opened his eyes and found himself back in the luxurious mansion in Qingfeng Town.

This feels exactly the same as last time.

He opened the chat group and reported that he was safe.

Chu Lu: "I'm going back to my own world."

Hua Honglian: "Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Qingdie: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Shanlin: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Li Niang: "Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Ruyue: "Thank you for your hard work."

Chu Lu: "It's really hard. I hope the next mission will be... a little more normal."

There was suddenly a bunch of ellipsis in the chat group.

Hua Honglian: "I think it would be hard to be more abnormal, right?"

Luo Qingdie: "I can't imagine what a more outrageous world would be like."

Zhu Shanlin: "I think we have reached the limit of human beings. If we want to go even further, we can only move towards the direction of strange beasts. For example, the demon insect swarm, the love between snakes and humans, etc.?"

Liu Ruyue: "I kind of want to see it."

Xu Li Niang: “???”

Xu Li Niang: "My side is obviously very ordinary, okay!"

When they saw Xu Li Niang's reply, everyone shouted in unison: "It's not ordinary, okay?!"

Xu Li Niang: “…”

Seeing that this group of people were making a lot of noise, Chu Lu decided not to join in.

He closed the chat group, stood up, stretched, and then went back to his room to rest.

After he came back, he felt all the accumulated stress and fatigue coming up.

Two days later, just when Chu Lu felt that he had rested enough and it was time to start practicing, Tie Zhanxiong and the others suddenly came running over.

"Sir, good news, good news!" they said excitedly.

"What's wrong? Any good news?" Chu Lu asked with a frown.

"The Lingxiao Sword Sect has come to our place to recruit disciples!" Tie Zhanxiong said in a voice almost like shouting.

Chu Lu was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes widened: "What did you say?!"

It’s no wonder that Chu Lu was surprised. After all, the Lingxiao Sword Sect was so powerful.

As for how big it is, we can understand it by explaining its geographical distribution.

Qingfeng Town where Chu Lu and his friends are located is actually a small village under the name of the Great Jin Kingdom, covering only one millionth of the land area.

On the four sides of the Great Jin Kingdom are Yonghua Kingdom, Lan'an Kingdom, Ruize Kingdom, and Jinyang Kingdom. Beyond these four countries is the Endless Sea. Chu Lu has no idea what is there over there.

Among these five countries, the Great Jin Kingdom is the strongest, almost equivalent to the sum of the national strength of any two countries.

The Lingxiao Sword Sect ranks third among all the sects in the Great Jin Kingdom.

The Lingxiao Sword Sect coming to Qingfeng Town to recruit disciples is just like Tsinghua University and Peking University coming to a mountain village without roads to recruit graduate students.

"But why would the Lingxiao Sword Sect suddenly come to our remote mountain area?" Chu Lu asked.

"I don't know. No one knows. But who cares! Even if it's a trap, I'll give it a try!" Tie Zhanxiong said excitedly, "Opportunity! This is a chance to turn things around! Whether we can escape from this broken place depends on this time!"

Not only Tie Zhanxiong, but several other sect leaders also had this expression. Even people like Ye Gou Dao Ren, who had long been content with the status quo, had red eyes.

Chu Lu was not surprised, he knew the reason behind it very well.

It all comes down to one word – resources.

In this world, talent is only the most basic requirement for cultivation; what is truly important are resources.

No matter how high one's talent is, if one does not have a good cultivation method and sufficient cultivation elixirs, then one cannot realize one's talent and transform it into real cultivation.

If one's cultivation level does not improve, then naturally one's status will not improve either.

When Chu Lu was still his third senior brother in Qixuan Sect, he followed the sect leader to Lingyun City to attend the birthday banquet of the head of the Ouyang family. At that time, they couldn't even enter the hall, and the gifts could only be handed over to the doorman, and people were driven outside to eat the buffet like those ordinary people.

The head of the sect was even mocked by a twenty-something Ouyang family junior in front of him as a country bumpkin who came to eat for free. And the head of the sect, who would kill the whole family of his disciples at any time, had to smile obediently.

why?
Because the young man of the Ouyang family who is in his twenties is also in the foundation-building stage.

Is this because the younger generation of the Ouyang family is much more talented than the head of the family?
Actually, no. His talent is even worse.

But he was born in the Ouyang family, and he had no worries about food and drink since he was a child. When he was ten years old, his body qi and blood met the standard, so he started practicing the family's martial arts. During this period, he took countless pills, and it took him ten years to reach the peak of qi refining. After taking a foundation-building pill, he broke through naturally.

By the time the headmaster waited for him to start formally practicing, he was already fifteen years old. He was given a crude set of martial arts techniques that were sold everywhere. He had no elixirs to help him, so he could only practice brute force.

Although it took him ten years to reach the peak of Qi Refining, it took him a full fifteen years to break through this bottleneck.

This is the huge gap caused by lack of resources.

It's not just the head of the Qixuan Sect, Tie Zhanxiong and the others are the same. Why are they all stuck in the foundation-building stage? Is it because they don't have enough talent? No. In the final analysis, the existing resources simply cannot support them to move towards the golden elixir stage.

Therefore, Chu Lu felt a little more excited.

Isn’t Tie Zhanxiong and his friends’ present Chu Lu’s future?
If he keeps staying in Qingfeng Town, he will sooner or later encounter the same dilemma.

Although he has a chat group and can exchange unlimited foundation-building techniques, and even more advanced ones in the future, selling techniques in exchange for resources ultimately carries great risks.

Joining other organizations and honestly exchanging resources is obviously a more appropriate way.

The Lingxiao Sword Sect is countless times stronger than the Ouyang Family. If Chu Lu can take this opportunity to become a disciple of the sect, he might be able to achieve Golden Elixir within five or six years.

"Where are the people from Lingxiao Sword Sect? What are their criteria for selecting disciples? How many people do they plan to accept?" Chu Lu asked.

"They are in Lingyun City." Tie Zhanxiong said, "After all, that place has the most people. As for the selection criteria and number of disciples, we are still unclear. We asked Li Yifeng to inquire about it two days ago. Calculating the date, they should be back today."

"Okay, then we'll wait."

After an hour, Li Yifeng came back exhausted.

The people who were waiting were immediately cheered up.

"How is it? How is it?" Tie Zhanxiong asked repeatedly: "Did you get any news?"

"I found out! I found out!" Li Yifeng hurriedly drank a sip of water. He had been running all the way, running faster than a horse, and was really tired.

"So how many disciples does Lingxiao Sword Sect accept? What are the criteria?" Chu Lu asked.

"They will only take one this time." Li Yifeng said breathlessly.

Everyone looked at each other with concentration.

They were not surprised. After all, in such a large sect and in such a remote place, they were already thankful to have a disciple quota.

"What is the standard?" Chu Lu asked.

"Since it is the Lingxiao Sword Sect, they will not choose someone who is good at swordsmanship, right?" Wild Dog Taoist said worriedly. After all, his swordsmanship is very average.

"No, would Lingxiao Sword Sect still be short of sword-wielding talents? He suddenly came here to recruit disciples this time, so he must be very short of people in some aspect." Tie Zhanxiong analyzed: "Lingxiao Sword Sect is not only good at using swords, but also good at forging swords. I guess they want to select talents who are good at forging?"

The Iron Fist Sect is not only good at boxing, but also has some experience in forging, so he said that.

"No, neither of them." Li Yifeng paused and said with a puzzled look: "They want to choose someone with good calligraphy."

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Calligraphy? Calligraphy!?" Tie Zhanxiong's eyes widened. "Are you talking nonsense? What does Lingxiao Sword Sect need this for?"

"It's absolutely true. I've confirmed it several times." Li Yifeng said, "They just want someone with good calligraphy."

“This, this, this, this, this…”

Everyone present had a gloomy look on their faces, even Chu Lu was no exception.

They all come from poor backgrounds, and they already try their best to practice martial arts to make a living. Who would be free to touch such literary things?

Even if Chu Lu was a college student in his previous life, how many modern students would practice calligraphy?

"Alas! Alas! I have practiced calligraphy a little, but how could they possibly appreciate my little tricks?" Tie Zhanxiong sighed, "This is fate, this is fate! I was born to be a nobody, born to roll in the mud! Alas!"

After Tie Zhanxiong finished speaking, he stood up, lowered his head and left.

Taoist Wild Dog was also full of doubts: "It's incomprehensible, absolutely incomprehensible. Could this position be predetermined? Or is it that the Lingxiao Sword Sect despises the poor and loves the rich, and looks down on us, the independent cultivators who come from poor backgrounds? Alas!"

He also stood up and left.

Li Yifeng knew it early and had calmed down long ago, so after catching his breath, he bowed to Chu Lu and left.

When Chu Lu was the only one left, he stopped pretending and sighed with regret.

Although his feelings were not as strong as Tie Zhanxiong and the others, he was still a little disappointed.

But now that the time has come, he can only accept it silently.

Chu Lu stood up and was about to go back to his room to practice.

"Wait!" He suddenly remembered something.

He sat down again suddenly, opened the chat group, and came to the task interface. Sure enough, there was a pop-up window.

[The mission has been completed. 】

【Do you want to receive rewards? 】

"I was so tired that I forgot about this." Chu Lu complained and nodded.

【Rewards have been issued.】

【Get a random skill pack. 】

"Random skill package? Wait, could it be..." Hope surged in Chu Lu's heart. He opened the warehouse and clicked on the skill package he had obtained.

A large turntable popped up in front of me, with a bunch of random skills written on it, ranging from cooking, writing, fishing to love, and fraud, and below it was written whether to turn it.

After Chu Lu nodded yes, the arrow began to spin rapidly.

After about ten seconds, the arrow stopped and landed on the frame with the calligraphy.

【Congratulations on obtaining the advanced calligraphy skill. 】

Chu Lu: “…”

########
The next day, Tie Zhanxiong suddenly received an order that Chu Lu wanted to see him.

He arrived early with a puzzled look on his face, went to the study, pushed the door open, and was stunned for a moment.

The study was filled with copybooks, piled left and right, almost filling up the room.

In the middle of the study, Chu Lu was burying his head and writing furiously.

"Ahem, sir." Tie Zhanxiong coughed a few times.

Chu Lu came back to his senses, looked up and said, "Ah, you're here."

"Sir, you personally called me here..." Tie Zhanxiong looked around with a confused look on his face.

"Oh, I came here for you to appraise it." Chu Lu pointed to the calligraphy on the table and said, "Didn't you say you learned a little calligraphy? Come and see how well I write."

"Ah?" Tie Zhanxiong was stunned, then he understood and thought that Chu Lu was still not giving up.

He leaned over to take a look and found that the handwriting was correct. He was surprised that Chu Lu seemed to have some basic knowledge.

But he couldn't see more, anyway, he felt the same as his teacher back then.

But Tie Zhan was ambitious and thought that Chu Lu was not a disciple of a wealthy family, and it was impossible for him to have been studying since childhood. Even if he had some ability, he could not compare with those young men from the Five Tombs in Lingyun City. How could he be favored by the Lingxiao Sword Sect?

However, Tie Zhanxiong is not a fool, so he naturally would not say it directly and cause Chu Lu to resent him.

So he said, "This old man is not very knowledgeable and does not understand it very well. It is said that Master Zhang of Mo Liu Study in Lingyun City is very good. You may ask him for advice."

"Okay, today is worse than tomorrow." Chu Lu said, "Then let's go today. You come with me."

"……Yes."
