Chapter 141 A Blessing in Disguise, Prosperity in the Wasteland (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

The moment Xu Shu finished his mocking speech.

Lance moved.

He pounced towards Xu Shu like a big bird.

Xu Shu cursed, "Come here," and he actually seemed to be going in!
“Ahaha, it works!”

Seeing this, Xu Shu was not afraid, but was suddenly delighted.

The sarcasm just now was certainly not just a spur-of-the-moment sarcasm.

But it was a premeditated seductive glance.

He secretly used a seductive glance!
[You have removed the taboo title: Sit-ups! The cooldown time is 12 hours; you are currently wearing the title: Succubus (Flawless), and you have obtained the skill - Seductive Eyes.]

[Seductive Eyes: Can be released to targets within a certain distance of the field of vision! If used on the opposite sex, it will have a charming effect, and she will walk towards you involuntarily until she breaks free; if used on the same sex, it will have a taunting effect, and she will attack you in anger until the effect disappears.]

Originally Xu Shu was about to leave, but when he saw how powerful the Star Tower was, how could he not be tempted?

Putting aside the power of this Black Widow Count, this creature is a third-level alien species.

As long as it rushes in after being taunted and crosses the border, we can kill it today!

Are level three monsters awesome?
The Star Tower has stood firm as a mountain in the wasteland for eighteen years. I don’t believe that a mere third-level monster like you can withstand a normal attack!
At this moment, Xu Shu's true intentions were exposed!

——However, at the last moment, Earl Lance stretched his muscles and pulled his waist back with all his might, his body leaning back as if it was broken, his legs still moving inward involuntarily.

Until he opened his mouth and violently spurted out two balls of white spider silk, attacking Xu Shu.

The Earl of Reims finally forced himself to stop outside the border.

At this moment, his exaggerated pointed boots were only 0.13 cm away from the Star Tower.

This number is very accurate.

Therefore, the Star Tower Thunder did not attack him, but easily shattered the two spider webs he spit out.

Because the distance was too close, the aftermath of the lightning spread.

Compared to the entire lightning, the aftermath of this spread is extremely small, just a drop in the bucket.

No, it's not even a drop in the ocean. It's just the tip of a drop in the ocean.

The sharp lightning struck and blew the torso of Count Lance below the waist, which was 0.13 cm away, into pieces of blood and flesh.

"Bang~"

The upper body of Count Lance was blown away, and his strange green internal organs flowed all over the ground.

But the flesh and blood rolled, and soon fresh, transparent, slender and beautiful legs grew out.

As an alien species, he had a strong vitality and was full of vigor. Just blowing half of him off would not kill him at all.

But even so, that handsome and elegant noble face had completely lost its original indifference and was replaced by overflowing anger and fear.

He roared: "You...you..."

He didn't know how to describe it.

Almost! He was just about to die from that terrifying attack!

How could he not be afraid, and how could he not be angry because of fear?
But Xu Shu felt very sorry.

Damn, this old guy is so lucky, he’s not dead yet.

If Lance had moved forward an inch today, he would have died.

What a pity!

Her own title of [Succubus] was of flawless level, and the taunting effect on him lasted for less than a second before he broke free with his powerful strength.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a third-rank earl, he is really strong.

Xu Shu curled his lips and thought to himself, wait a little longer, until I can let go of my seductive eyes a second time, then I will have a big fight with him.

Charm can only be considered a short-range control and essentially cannot cause any damage.

If it wasn't for a place like the "border line", Xu Shu would have died if he had released that charm just now.

Therefore, the time interval required for each release of the skill [Seductive Eyes] is not very long.

But it is obvious that Lance has learned his lesson after suffering such a big loss.

"Human... I will remember you. I advise you to let the queen come back as soon as possible, otherwise you will regret it!"

He glared at Xu Shu fiercely, and while uttering harsh words, he moved his six legs and retreated quickly. The spider monsters behind him also slipped away in an instant.

"..."Xu Shu suddenly felt helpless and sighed.

There is nothing we can do now.

If I had known this earlier, I would have caught another small spider monster, at least I would have had a chance to get a piece of erosion crystal.

Things have come to this, Xu Shu certainly won't stay here any longer.

The moon had risen at this moment. Xu Shu always felt that the moon in the wasteland was strange, so he was not willing to let it shine on him all the time.

He needed to find a safe place to stay for the night.

At that moment, Xu Shu estimated a direction and walked carefully to the north along the border line.

In fact, because he was in a panic when he escaped back before, Xu Shu was not sure whether he was now in the north or south of his original starting point.

But that doesn't matter.

Every few steps along the border, there is a building nicknamed "Lighthouse".

This serves as a temporary supply point for patrol soldiers.

Generally speaking, there are some wasteland refugees living in every lighthouse.

After all, with just some effort, you can get a relatively safe home and a little food. Why not do such a good thing?

Occasionally, there would be some refugee women who were a little bit pretty. When they saw patrol vehicles passing by, they would rush here to stay overnight before the sun sets.

As long as the patrol soldiers are happy, they will not be stingy with their rewards and supplies.

Don’t be fooled by the desolate wasteland. Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. It has always been like this.

Over time, a special trading area with relatively large flow of people will often be formed among every few lighthouses.

There is a nickname called 'Adventurer Camp', which is very descriptive and appropriate.

Of course, it is just a compliment to oneself. To put it bluntly, it is a place for wasteland refugees or scavengers who pick up garbage everywhere in the wasteland to exchange what they have and seek temporary shelter, just like a common practice.

Xu Shu walked for more than an hour and saw a relatively intact building area in front of him.

It is complete, but it has not completely turned into a ruin made of steel and concrete.

In fact, their walls were all peeling off, their glass was all broken, and the vines that grew wildly swayed in the darkness, like the tentacles of a monster with bared fangs and claws.

Only one of them had been carefully maintained and repaired, with its window glass intact and a flag on the roof: (19, 3)

It is the 'lighthouse' of this place.

Although it is called a tower, its appearance has nothing to do with a tower. It is actually a "臣"-shaped building, which is very modern.

Seeing the lights on inside the building and the shadows of people around, Xu Shu felt a little relieved.

Finally I saw a human gathering place.

Passing by a parking lot with many vehicles outside, he moved the iron net outside with his bare hands and saw a heavy and thick white-painted iron gate. On the sofa next to the door, there was a strong man sitting in his arms and kissing the woman sitting on his lap. They were so passionate that they started to make moves. The woman's coat had already fallen to the ground.

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu's footsteps were not deliberately concealed, which naturally attracted the other party's attention. The strong man stopped awkwardly and looked at Xu Shu, who was not very clean and looked dusty.

"Remember to pay fifty if you stay overnight, one hundred for a better room." The sturdy man didn't dare to stand up, nor did he stop him from pushing the door open. His throat moved a little, and after Xu Shu went in and closed the door, he continued to kiss the woman passionately.

Xu Shu naturally saw this scene. He was a little speechless, thinking, are they also believers of the Mother God? Do believers of the Mother God do this every night? Are they getting enough nutrition?
However, this has nothing to do with me.

He shook his head.

As he walked through the gate, the place was dazzled.

On his right side was a large hall with many billiard tables. There were more than a dozen people playing there, and it was obvious that they were betting.
It was even more lively inside, with many gambling tables. The busiest one was probably for betting on big or small. The one shaking the dice was a hooded man who seemed to have great skills, dancing like a flower or butterfly.

There were at least fifty or sixty people surrounding the gambling table. Every time the man pressed the dice cup and said "it's settled", the people around him would enthusiastically shout words of encouragement like "big big big" and "small small small".

The other tables were a little quieter, but still quite crowded. There were beautiful female dealers dealing cards online, with long legs that looked like they had nothing to wear.

From time to time, there are some girls who, although their skin and appearance are not as fair and delicate as those of the city people, are also dressed very revealingly. Their wheat-colored skin has a unique wildness. They walk around with plates of desserts and drinks. This is a rare sight.

"So lively?" Xu Shu smacked his lips.

This overly prosperous scene was so different from the several shelters he had encountered before that he almost forgot he was in a wasteland.

I don't know where these guys looted these things from, but I guess there might be some old casino nearby that they dug out.

However, when he turned around and saw on his left a group of strong men who were obviously well-trained and not much worse than ordinary patrol soldiers, packing things in large and small boxes, all of them armed with guns and looking at him vigilantly, Xu Shu roughly knew what was going on.

It seems like today is quite a coincidence, as we happen to encounter the peak period when scavengers, wasteland merchants, etc. from the vicinity come here to trade.

But even so, the living conditions here are really not bad. Many people in the safe zone would be jealous when they see it, and there are so many people.

It is worth mentioning that in a corner on the left there is a group of believers in black robes, including men, women, old and young, who gather there to pray.

When Xu Shu saw these church believers, his heart tightened. He leaned over and listened for a while. He found that they were probably ordinary believers of the Dawn Church, and then he felt relieved.

I walked to the bar in front, and saw a middle-aged, short and fat man with strong muscles, at least 180 pounds, blond hair and brown eyes.

As soon as one looked at his greasy face, one could tell that he must be living a very comfortable life here.

"Brother, are you finishing your archaeological work so late? Come back and see me. My name is Brooke, and you can call me Old Brook." The fat man greeted Xu Shu, speaking fluent Xia Chinese.

"Archaeology" means scavenging. In fact, it would be more appropriate to call it picking up garbage. Calling it archaeology is indeed too respectable.

Apparently, in addition to the rare casino, there is also a publicly owned hotel at this wasteland supply point.

This Brooke works for the patrolmen who are not convenient to show up here, and he is considered the owner of the hotel.

Seeing Xu Shu come in dressed like this, Brooke naturally thought he was just a scavenger.

Of course, Xu Shu is now tall and mighty, and although he looks a little dirty, he is no longer like before and is less likely to be looked down upon.

Xu Shu nodded without comment. After a little thought, he did not deliberately reveal his identity as a superhuman, but simply asked about the accommodation price.

There are two types of accommodation here. One is with better conditions and is located in the middle of the Chinese character "臣" (minister), between the second to fifth floors, and costs two hundred yuan a night.

There are also rooms from the sixth floor to the twelfth floor, which cost less in descending order. The cheapest is 80 yuan a night, and higher rooms are free. However, there are no beds, and there are spider webs and dust everywhere, and no one cleans the room.

The reason why the higher the price, the cheaper it is is mainly because there is a shortage of electricity in the wasteland, and most of the power is supplied by motors. We have tried to use photovoltaic power generation before, and the efficiency is not low, but it is easily damaged by strange birds flying around at night, so we mostly give up.

After a brief thought, Xu Shu took out a 100-yuan bill that was folded very delicately but had a faint smell of sour feet and handed it to Brooke: "One night on the top floor, and the remaining 20 yuan can bring me some canned food."

"No problem." Brooke did a good job of hiding the disgust in his eyes.

……

The twelfth floor was just a short walk for Xu Shu, without even having to catch his breath.

After a brief arrangement, Xu Shu took out the four white erosion crystals of the Black Widow, as well as one blue and one green erosion crystal belonging to the crawling worm and the Slaanesh demon, all of which were first-level.

"What a pity. Before throwing Lan Xin out, I forgot to search for the spoils she had on her."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu decided to keep it and upgrade it first.

He placed these erosion crystals in order and stacked them next to each other.

Wait until the CD of sit-ups is over tomorrow morning, and then you can devour and upgrade it as soon as possible.

After all this time, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Unfortunately, Xu Shu had just broken through to level 15 last time.

Now, except for the blue piece which is level 16, the levels of the others are very low, especially the Black Widow pieces which are only level three or four.

Therefore, I estimate that it is unlikely that these can be upgraded to level 16.

Xu Shu also made his own judgment. If he could get a few more white crystals like this, and if he could get around ten pieces like last time, he should be able to upgrade successfully.

"It costs money to upgrade a legendary curse seal. The more you upgrade, the more money you will need. If you don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend, don't even think about upgrading."

As first-order crystals, the white and green ones are both priced between 40,000 and 80,000 yuan each. If you find a buyer for the blue one, the price will at least double.

While no one was around, Xu Shu went to wash himself again. There was still a lot of dust on his body when he went in, but he was clean when he came out.

Then he returned to the room, and as usual, he lifted up the quilt on the bed to make a human shape, rolled himself under the bed, and then took out the Yuanshen figurine and faced the door.

After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to the wasteland life again, Xu Shu can be said to be experienced.

"Phew! Next, I just have to wait for the Taichu volume to be refreshed tomorrow morning."

At this time, Xu Shu had the space to push his hips forward, and the light particles in front of him condensed into a real screen.

* Upgraded network
*Gu Pan (Taichu), first-level warrior

*Contributions: 12
*[Curse Seal: Hercule (Legend) Level: 15/20]

-

"The dozen or so black widows in Lance aren't counted on me?"

Seeing that the contribution was only 12 points, Xu Shu was quite indignant.

For this trip, he was originally scheduled to leave at 8 o'clock.

On the way, he robbed the heads of two evil beasts and gained two points.

In the following process of pioneering, there were a total of fourteen monsters, but he only got the heads of two white black widow spiders and gained two points.

As for the ownership of other contribution points, they belong to the teammate who made the main kill.

There was only one blue, three green, and ten white ones in total. Our team consisted of six people, and two spots were given to Lan Xin, the nurse.

In the end, all Xu Shu got were just two pitiful points.

However, something unexpected happened in the end, and Xu Shu took away the most precious blue erosion crystal, so it was not a loss at all.

The only difference was that in Lance's case, the dozen or so monsters killed by the star tower were not counted as his contribution, which made Xu Shu very angry.

You have changed!

It was clearly the Chosen One who was killed by the Star Tower before, but he was given a special contribution reward and his performance was counted in the ranking list.

Why doesn’t it count this time?

Without me attracting hatred, would Lance leave those little spiders in your defense tower to die?
You are really ungrateful, damn formation, how dare you bully me!

Xu Shu clenched his fists fiercely.

At this time, he noticed that his team channel had not been completely disbanded.

*Team: 4
When he clicked on it, he saw that besides himself, there were three other people, Hong Yan, Chen Nian, and Bi Chaoyang. Lan Xin had quit the team on her own before, and Rudius had also quit the team.

After a brief thought, in order to avoid finding himself on the "List of Martyrs Fallen in Action" after returning to the city in a few days, Xu Shu entered the message and said hello:
"I am back."
