The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 109: Sorting out the plan, advancing three levels in a row, and the strongman attacks (first update)
"I'm not blaming you. I really don't have any contribution points right now. If you really want to be picky, you still owe me something for this ruins, right?"

Seeing Song Nianhui jumping up and down, Xu Shu's mouth twitched.

Although strictly speaking he did take advantage of this relic copy, ordinary first-level transcendents do not have second-level equipment, and it is impossible for them to gain so many erosion crystals at one time. This is indeed an advantage for him.

But he also paid a price.

This time he did not get any monster heads, so he did not get any contribution points directly. (Note 1)

Strictly speaking, killing 100 Yin soldiers will bring more than 100 contributions, because six of them are green-named monsters.

Secondly, Xu Shu didn't know whether there would be any contribution points from killing the two monsters, but killing the tree monster itself, a second-level level 31 blue-named monster, would at least give dozens of contributions.

Xu Shu didn't get any of the contribution rewards that could be obtained from these kills.

Since six people cleared the level together, it doesn't make sense that the contribution points shouldn't be divided evenly. If you really want to calculate, I should get 20 points for this part of the contribution points.

In addition, Xu Shu himself felt that he had made a significant contribution in this battle.

The task of 'continuously killing the hidden boss, the second-order Yin Jiang', is something that any warrior can accomplish if they put aside their shame, but actual combat is another matter.

Not to mention whether the other wrestlers can rely solely on the vitality of the "witch" and how long they can last, just letting go of shame is actually a difficult thing.

Of course, he is not a man who does not keep his word. Since the ticket price has to be shared equally, the reason is reasonable. After all, Song Nianhui has already borne the bulk of the cost.

But the price, just saying 50, is not quite reasonable, right?

If one had to calculate it literally, then he still owed Song Nian 30 contribution points at most, and the 20 points that he did not receive should be deducted reasonably.

——The main source of contribution points is "Contributing Crystals to the Array", followed by various bounties and ranking rewards.

The contribution points directly obtained from killing monsters are relatively speaking just a drop in the bucket, but a drop in the bucket is also meat, especially for Xu Shu now, it is impossible to ignore it.

"According to the upgrade network, if you can't use up all the white and green crystals, you can just contribute them to the array. There's no loss."

"But for monsters above blue, or even green, it's best to trade with others. It's more cost-effective. After all, the number of colored monsters is much smaller than that of white monsters, and different groups of people have special needs."

"Well, if you exchange a white crystal for the array, you can get 4-8 contribution points. The array will automatically identify the value. In other words, one contribution point is roughly equal to yuan?"

"Shit, so the plane ticket costs 100,000 yuan? Fuck."

The more Xu Shu thought about it, the more he felt that the prices in the extraordinary world were ridiculously expensive, and some services were particularly costly.

After thinking for a while, he clicked on Song Nian's reply and sent him a message:

"I'll pay you back when I have money. But now I really have no money and can't afford the mirror of reality and illusion in the trading area." - Gu Pan, a first-class strongman.

【Message sent successfully.】

Friends have been added back when forming a team before.

Mirror of Reality and Illusion requires 20 contribution points.

He was just one point away from buying it, but now he only had 8 contribution points, which meant he was even further away.

Of course, I can only give him 30 points.

To put things in perspective, Xu Shu will not renege on what he should give, but no one wants to withhold what they should take.

Afterwards, Xu Shu closed the team.

He even went through the world chat history specifically, consciously searching for information about the burial ground.

Not long after, Xu Shu found one.

[Quickly kill elite monsters in the Boneyard North Forest War Zone. Need a night watchman and a prisoner. If you have a strategy, come quickly.] - Xu Feng.

The burial ground that was once the site of the new copy had long been figured out, and the relatively easy-to-kill monsters there had also been killed to almost nothing left.

However, doesn’t it mean that the ruins will be closed after the final boss is defeated?

Wang Teng is not here, but you can still enter the burial ground ruins. Does that mean Wang Teng is not considered a boss for the final level, but only a hidden boss?

Who is the boss of the level pass?

This made Xu Shu a little curious.

In addition, he also specifically looked through and randomly found only about 100 posts from the relics group, and found that they contained more than 30 different relics.

This made Xu Shu feel relieved.

"It seems that although I can create small ruins through the Legendary Mode, the number is very small, so there is no need to worry about it."

Next, Xu Shu sorted out all his current wealth.

In terms of cash: Gu Panna owed him 200 million and 600 yuan in cash, which had not been paid off yet;

In terms of monster materials: the harvest of this copy includes 15 pieces of white erosion crystals, all of which are level 16 goods; a level blue erosion crystal; the epic drop material of Black Widow, spider fangs, etc., as well as the green quality lace underwear of Tempting Flower Puppet.

As for the rest, let’s not talk about the Taichu Volume items; there is a golden “Doctor” seal, which I might consider selling when I have the chance.

In addition, the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin swallowed up the Black Mountain Goddess and should have been upgraded. Xu Shu planned to start a journey mode in the city, blow her up, and see the color of the crystal inside her.

If it is still purple, just keep her and continue to raise her; if it has turned into an epic monster, then if you can't find the curse seal, you can consider killing her and taking the golden curse seal inside!

In addition, there is a bounty, which was given by the Astronomy Society after killing Lu Bingwei. It is estimated to be within 100 points, but it has not been claimed yet;
Also, wait until next Monday, when you have been on the list for more than a week, you will receive a contribution point incentive for your ranking on the Qingyun List, about 50 points will be credited to your account!

Xu Shu did some calculations and found that his life was becoming more and more hopeful.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu went to the Astronomical Society's office in the Star Tower to ask if he could directly collect the reward for the wanted criminal.

But the answer he got was that he had to go outside the Star Tower to the Astronomical Society’s headquarters to verify before he could collect the reward.

"In this case, if I want to claim his reward, I have to wait for Gu Pan to get me my enrollment certificate. Damn it, the Astronomy Society is so sneaky that they dare not let me take advantage of the loophole."

It's not that the Astronomical Society is unwilling to give the reward, but it's obvious that they don't want to give it without knowing why. If you want to claim the reward, you have to leave the Star Tower and go to see them - they will keep it a secret, but they want to know who is claiming it.

Xu Shu saw it.

"I guess Gu Pan will be able to get my certificate tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Or can I find someone to get it for me? However, there is no need to rush for one or two days. We can take it one step at a time. Right now, the most important thing is to improve my strength and first upgrade the curse seal from level 12 to level 20.

“Secondly, we need to prepare two things. Obtain the Mysterious Chapter and the Curse Seal through the Legendary Mode!

"It is basically certain that the Xuan Zhang of the Hercules Path can be obtained through 'Wang Teng'. My mark comes with a legendary Vajra Life. As long as I get a high-quality Xuan Zhang, the path can be fixed as that of the Hercules!"

"It's just that the curse of the alien species is more troublesome. Where can I find so many epic alien species to kill? Oh, I'll probably have to try my luck by drawing twice in the legendary mode! Drawing from a non-directional pool is life-threatening. Fortunately, I have more time next time, and I won't be as pitiful as before, and I have to use up the number of times every day."

"But, after all, upgrading itself is a hassle."

Xu Shu looked at the words [Hercules (Legend) 12/20] and his heart sank again.

A lot of pressure!

According to the experience he currently needs to upgrade, the fifteen low-level crystals in his hand can probably only provide a third-level upgrade.

There may even be only two levels.

A double-entry legendary seal is really a bit expensive!
If I had changed to a normal green one, or even a blue seal, I would have reached level 14 or 16 and would be preparing to reach level .

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but twitch his lips as he saw that he had finally accumulated millions of dollars.

It shouldn’t be enough for upgrading~Gu.

"Oh, I'm poor, really poor!"

"It would be great if there were first-level ruins. It's still too dangerous to fight second-level ruins. I don't dare to fight without enough initial experience.

"Now that things have come to this, let's upgrade first. It will probably take five or six hours just to consume these erosion crystals."

"Strange, why can't the upgrade network find anyone to form a group to fight the first-level ruins? There are no ruins at the first level? Are the first-level unfit for dungeon clearing and can only play in the wild? But playing in the wild is obviously much more dangerous than playing in the ruins. It's really puzzling."

Xu Shu packed up all his things in a depressed mood.

Perhaps, the wasteland can barely be considered a "first-order relic".

After waiting for a while, Xu Shu found a time when there were fewer people around and then left the Star Tower.

The [Ugly Palace·Bullfighting] mask on his face was quite righteous, and it only slowly disappeared when he was almost at the square in front of the Administration Bureau.

By this time, it was already dark and it was time for dinner.

安全区20*20公里的范围，如果只算中心城区，更是只有10*10公里（星塔5公里内）
For such a small place, most people may still need a car, but for Xu Shu, who now owns a car like "Kuafu chasing the sun", he no longer needs any means of transportation.

Ma Chao in the national server, needless to say, runs faster than a car, and consumes three bowls of rice per 100 kilometers.

However, Xu Shu did not go home today, but went directly to Chengbei Hospital.

When I arrived at the inpatient department, as expected, my adoptive mother Li Guoying was already there.

She brought her own dinner, fed it to her husband Zhou Junjie, and then ate the leftovers in small bites.

Xu Shu came back last night and asked the nurse to help convey the news that he was going home. So you can see that his foster mother looks much better today than yesterday. This is because she is worried.

Zhou Junjie did not fall asleep immediately after eating. Instead, he leaned on the hospital bed, wearing a pair of glasses, reading the newspaper carefully, and talking to his wife from time to time.

They are all middle-aged and elderly people in their late 50s. One is sick and the other is tired. Although they look energetic today, their temples are still gray and they look old.

Although Li Guoying's eyes were still filled with worry, tears welled up in them and she felt a lot more relieved. She felt that her husband had not had the energy to chat with her like this for a long time. She didn't understand most of what he said, but she felt that no matter what he said, it always made sense.

——Speaking of this family, Zhou Junjie is the most cultured person.

Before the disaster, he was a master of polymer science, worked as a university lecturer, and also worked as a technical backbone of high-end enterprises in related industries. After the disaster, relying on his knowledge and skills, he has been working for the "Mo Palace" in the Administration Bureau.

Even if they are just non-staff members, their income is already quite high among ordinary people. Otherwise, they would not be able to support a large family and provide relatively good living conditions.

Although the adoptive mother Li Guoying only has a college degree, she has a good personality. She earns less working outside, but she takes care of the family in order. After her husband fell ill, she worked three jobs alone and did her best.

"...Damn it. In this life, I can't continue my studies after graduating from high school. If my sister gets into college next year, won't I be the only illiterate person in the family? It's really, a bit embarrassing!"

Xu Shu thought happily, of course he would not be angry or jealous about this, instead he would sincerely wish them well.

He has become a superhuman, and will slowly live a different life with his adoptive parents who are ordinary people. After all, he will no longer be able to hide in a safe zone forever like an ordinary person.

However, within the scope of one's ability, it is possible to ensure that the family can have a good life in the safe zone and repay the kindness of raising them over the years. Moreover, there is no need to rush to the branch office at the moment, and one can still enjoy the happiness of having family.

But speaking of it, this doesn't seem to have much to do with whether one is extraordinary or not. Isn't it the same for ordinary families?

Regardless of whether they are extraordinary or not, when children grow up, they will eventually have their own lives and their own new families, and their interactions with their parents will become less and less.

Xu Shu went to buy some fruits and chatted with his parents. At the same time, he did not forget to tell her that some money had been transferred to her card. He also implicitly stated that he had met a noble person from a special department in the wasteland who helped him and he got a good job. He would have a good income in the future and let his adoptive father recover.

Li Guoying scolded Xu Shu for a long time why he went to the wasteland to adventure alone, and Xu Shu just smiled and agreed.

Now his identity as a superhuman cannot be made public, and he knows that his adoptive mother pities him, and her voice is relatively gentle, not the kind of unpleasant, rough-voiced woman, so Xu Shu felt quite warm when he was scolded.

Finally, after being stopped by Zhou Junjie, she finally stopped chattering.

"Ashu, I'm glad you're safe. You've made great progress." Zhou Junjie was knowledgeable after all. As soon as he saw Xu Shu's expression, he knew that the salary in the 'special department' he mentioned was definitely not low.

Xu Shu also comforted them, saying, "Just rest and recover. You raised me when I was a child, and I should raise you in the future."

There is little casual chat.

After sitting for about half an hour, Xu Shu stood up and left the small ward to the couple.

Before leaving, I asked the hospital how much it would cost to completely cure my adoptive father's illness.

The number obtained is 250 million.

"Very good. With such neat numbers, we can tell at a glance that this is indeed a quote from someone who is at least a second-level transcendent."

Xu Shu guessed that the other party was most likely a "witch".

He knew that this profession could refine pills through praying, combining monster materials, etc.

For example, the "Life-Restoring Pill" that he used to save Gu Pan was also a product of the witch profession.

However, alchemy is hard work, which affects not only their leveling but also their daily life. Moreover, it often takes seven or even more than ten days to practice, and the final success rate is still low, so it is understandable that the price is high.

250 million! Honestly, with this figure, ordinary people can already be sentenced to death. It’s not that they don’t want to treat the disease, but they really can’t afford it. How much money can they save in a year? They simply don’t have any channels to make money like this.

But for Xu Shu now, it is still acceptable as he has found a place to stay.

This is what a superhuman is. It’s not just about strength, but also about hidden powers in all aspects that allow them to do things that ordinary people would never dare to think about.

You can earn it by killing dozens of first-level monsters! This world lacks everything, but the thing it lacks the most is monsters - provided you have the strength to kill them. The denser the monsters, the more dangerous it is, and there is a high possibility of high-level monsters lurking.

"I'll finish the crystal first. Upgrading is the most important thing. As for the remaining 500,000, since Gu Pan's family is so rich, I'll let the rich lady help me out first. We're all so familiar with each other, so she won't be unwilling. Otherwise, I'll threaten her to tell everyone about her affairs. Hey, I almost forgot what it was."

Carrying a backpack full of erosion crystals, Xu Shu searched around the safe zone.

Finally, before seven o'clock in the evening, he stopped at the front desk of a hotel lobby as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

"500 for one night? Can you give me a discount? I'm a student." Xu Shu looked at the receptionist unhappily.

The heavily made-up receptionist looked at Xu Shu's figure and appearance. Although she gulped, she finally explained seriously: "Little handsome boy, why are you staying in a hotel alone? You are so young and you don't learn your lesson. Go home and live."

“There is no private bathroom in the house.”

"Want to take a shower? We do have a bathhouse, it's cheap, 50 per shower, do you want one?"

"Can I be the only one in the bathhouse?" Xu Shu asked.

The receptionist was surprised: "? You want to book the whole place? How much do you think it will cost?"

Xu Shu's expression was bitter: "Forget it, let's get a standard room."

"500, plus a 200 deposit, and your ID card."

"Room xxx upstairs..."

After a while.

Xu Shu went into his room, locked the door, sat on the bed, looked at the night scene outside the window, and let out a long sigh.

"Damn, this accommodation is too expensive."

He couldn't help but complain.

But there is nothing we can do.

There are few hotels in safe areas these days, and this is the price.

The reason is that the administrative bureau itself will provide housing to residents, manage it in a unified manner, and charge a unified fee. All they have to do is pay a usage fee.

The outer suburbs have their own cheap prices, and the inner suburbs have their own conditions.

Therefore, compared to the peripheral areas, there are no hotels or accommodation industries in the safe zone.

Since it is only available in the central area, the price will naturally go up.

As for the purpose of people staying in the hotel, it is often self-evident and everyone knows it tacitly.

For the residents of the end of the world, there are too few entertainment activities, and living conditions have improved. What should they do? They can only play Seven Star Entertainment and Superman every day.

So there are several days every week that are Valentine's Day.

Not long after nightfall, the building began to shake, just like the description in the ancient Chinese book "The Art of Ventriloquism" that I had read in my previous life. (Note 1)

There was a man in the capital who was good at ventriloquism. He could make waves shake, stones move, and water swirl.

For a moment, Xu Shu vaguely heard singing from all directions!
However, compared to the 'slum' where he lived, the soundproofing of this hotel was certainly much better.

It would not have much impact on his "young and pure" mind.

You know what, he is really pure in this matter.

"Damn it, if the Housing Authority hadn't closed early at 500:, I would have been better off renting a new home within kilometers of the Star Tower for the yuan."

The reason why Xu Shu came to the hotel was, of course, because of the "private bathroom" provided here.

Every time he levels up, blood spurts out, as if he has killed someone. You can't do this in a public bathroom.

In this regard, we can no longer treat ourselves badly.

Whoosh~
Xu Shu took out the erosion crystal and put the level 16 blue crystal aside first, and used it last.

Then he took off all his clothes, went into the bathroom, got into a comfortable position, and stuffed five white erosion crystals into his underwear.

boom!
The cursed energy erupted from his abdomen and poured into every corner of his body. His pores exploded and the walls were smeared with blood.

"call!!"

Xu Shu gritted his teeth and did sit-ups, shedding blood.

The narrow-sleeved jade sculpture of Guanyin that he had placed in front of the washbasin suddenly and quietly opened its right eye, like a black gem, and the pupil moved to the corner of the eye, small and staring at his constantly rising and falling figure.

Eyes, quiet, timid...

Like a poor, helpless little hamster...

……

The bright moon hangs high.

Level 1...

Level 2...

After using it, Xu Shu felt his head was hot, as if it was congested, but he still had energy left, so he ate the last level 16 blue crystal.

Sit-ups……

This set of sit-ups started at around seven or eight o'clock and ended at two or three in the morning before I finally finished.

All the erosion crystals were eaten up.

And Xu Shu's "Hercules" curse level finally reached level 15!
This was barely achieved thanks to previous accumulation, but it is good news.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to learn a new skill. There is a guaranteed minimum skill at level 12, but I wonder when the next minimum skill will be?"

He finished washing up, feeling refreshed, and looked at himself in the mirror.

His body was as strong and powerful as if cast from iron, his eyes were as bright as an eagle's, and his whole aura was even more fierce than before.

However, after changing into a set of loose black clothes to cover up his explosive muscles, just looking at his face, he turned into a harmless fair-skinned young man, giving people a natural sense of approachability.

After all, he is only eighteen years old now, a real young hunk, but the difference between him and the word "young" is a little bit large, he is strong and powerful.

His eyes fell on the narrow-sleeved Guanyin who was quietly closing her eyes beside him, and paused on her waist.

"Come to think of it, I actually have some money that I can get back."

"How much property does a wanted criminal leave behind?"

"Haha, I was worried about problems caused by gangsters robbing gangsters before, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about this matter. On the one hand, my upgraded driver will soon be legal, and with Gu Pan, a man in the court helping me, I don't need to worry too much!

"On the other hand, I don't necessarily want to kill them all...

"Go check out the situation first, then make a decision!"

My strength has greatly improved and I have no desire to sleep.

Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred.

Tonight, it's time to end this grudge!
Xu Shu curled the corners of his mouth, revealing an evil smile, then he lowered his head, pulled up his hood, put on a mask, left the hotel, and walked away without recognizing anyone.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
