The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 158: Bundle Purine for Half a Lifetime, Saving Enough Contributions (asking for monthly tickets)

Actually, I probably understand, but, Bishop, can we stop being Riddlers?
Xu Shu asked innocently, "...I don't understand. Can you tell me what the rules are?"

"That won't work. You can't tell me if you don't understand. No, no, no." Yu Mingluan shook his head at this time.

"Then, do I understand?" Xu Shu blinked his big eyes.

Yu Mingluan was displeased: "Don't be naughty, this must not be leaked. Even I was only told a little bit after I officially assumed the position of Bishop of the Dawn Church. Ordinary third-level people do not have the authority to know.

"You will know about this matter when you are supposed to know it. If you don't know it, you should ask in detail. It will not be good for you if you really know it. It involves too many deep things. It is not your time yet. Don't put your mind on this kind of thing."

"Oh~" Xu Shu seemed to be thinking about something.

It turns out to be Brother Dong.

It must not be leaked, that means signing a confidentiality agreement like the one in the array.

It seems that most of them are talking about the "Human Protection Regulations"!

It seems that the Chosen One actually took advantage of this loophole?

Did they use some method to avoid being discovered by the Star Tower?

But how?
Could it be that when they are in a certain state, they are considered 'human'?
When Xu Shu himself entered the safe zone through the journey, it triggered the "Those who damage the Star Tower are not considered human beings", and then he was killed by the Star Tower. This is how he learned this information.

Speaking of which, the rationality of the chosen ones seems to be much higher than that of the ordinary extraordinary people of the four major factions of the "Path of the Abyss".

In Xu Shu's impression, whether it is Yang Manman from the Slaanesh system or 'Ao Yaoqi' from the Nurgle system.

After becoming extraordinary beings of the Abyss Path, their sanity was greatly reduced. They were completely unlike normal people and were basically the same as monsters. Their behavioral logic was extremely chaotic. They only retained a portion of their human memories, and the rest they did things based on their bloodthirsty instincts.

One could even think of them as people who have been "possessed" by monsters, which is almost the same.

In comparison, Magitel, who is equally bloodthirsty and murderous, is indeed more human than them.

He is calm and collected, insidious and vicious, and does things in a purposeful and methodical manner. As for being perverted and bloodthirsty, that was his original purpose.

In addition, whether the Star Tower will kill the traditional "Three Weird Families" extraordinary people is also a question.

First of all, Xu Shu himself has the Black Widow's curse, but normally he would not be considered "inhuman".

Secondly, it is said that the three paths of supernatural beings, the abyss, and the alien species are no longer human. It is written by Melanie [A must-read for newcomers to the Human Supernatural Alliance]

Of course, after trying the 'Mark Altar', the array did not accept Yang Manman as a sacrifice, so first of all she was "not human".

But if they are not human, will they definitely be judged as monsters and killed by the Star Tower?
Xu Shu felt that this might not be true, but there was no way to confirm it.

First of all, the most important key issue is that no one else in the city can become a transcendent person of these three paths without the curse of these paths - except himself.

If others want to succeed, they can only take the path of being polluted but not dying. This is not a proper route and is difficult to replicate.

Ah, speaking of the curse of the Three Gui Family Path...

Xu Shu suddenly thought of the Black Widow, and the Countess Black Widow who was waiting for him outside the border.

It's a third-level primitive alien monster, not chosen by God. I wonder if the Tianwen Association would be interested in helping to hunt it down?

The Alien Count is at least a "purple name" monster!

but……

Xu Shu first looked at Yu Mingluan and was somewhat tempted.

But when I saw his red robe, I remembered how skillfully he put away the two curse crystals.

After changing his mind, Xu Shu finally gave up the plan.

Forget it!

Let’s put aside the fact that I won’t share the purple erosion crystals I obtained with him.

It is difficult to explain why he attracted the Earl's pursuit!
By then, if everything gets to that point, the Astronomical Society will force him to look at the upgraded online personal attribute interface, that would be damn embarrassing.

By then, even if there is a "human wrestler" certified by the array, the matter will be difficult to resolve and there will be endless troubles afterwards.

So, after much thought, the Earl's affairs were slowly dealt with.

Anyway, Count Lance is not as scary as the Chosen One and can avoid the monitoring of the Star Tower.

The monster that could only hide outside the border and howl was at best a mobile granary and could not pose a threat to him.

"When I reach the third level, I will take the spider head from Count Lance's neck and avenge this arrow."

Xu Shu silently bore the grudge.

After that, when Yu Mingluan had no more information to provide, Xu Shu said goodbye to him carefully and prepared to leave.

During this period, Yu Mingluan invited him many times, asking him to go to the Dawn Church to attend the high mass when he returned to the city in the future and experience the atmosphere in person.

It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, and since he had caused the trouble himself, Xu Shu could only agree perfunctorily.

Next he would continue walking north, hunting along the way.

Now this place, the count has probably marked it.

If you continue to stay here, the chances of being ambushed are very high.

It's time to shift the battle line.

Moreover, Xu Shu knew that at a certain distance, Lance could not sense the remaining breath of the Black Widow Queen.

When leaving, the scavenger Matthew and his men were reluctant to leave and expressed their willingness to follow.

But Xu Shu refused.

It’s not that I think they are too weak. If they really want to help, they can still provide some fighting power.

In addition, these people can help to some extent in terms of knowledge.

For example, providing information such as "Vampires can only be killed with sunlight or nun's holy water."

In addition, as a "rogue" profession, Matthew has bloodthirsty skills and can avoid gathering places with large numbers of monsters, which is also helpful.

In this day and age, more people mean more strength. If things really don't work out, there will be people to step up when cannon fodder is really needed, right?
But Xu Shu's reason for refusal was very simple. He simply felt it was too troublesome. He himself had many secrets. It was okay to form a temporary team, but it was not suitable for him to travel with others for a long time.

For example, he would occasionally disappear out of thin air during the day. If we stayed together for a long time, this kind of thing would definitely not be kept secret.

So it’s better to be alone.

"Speaking of which, Gu Pan is fine. Anyway, she saw a lot of my secrets in the beginning. She already knows that I can practice secrets and stay invisible, so there is no need to hide it from her, hehe."

"Unfortunately, my cheap teacher is too weak and can no longer keep up with me. If she continues to follow me, she will only be a burden. It is better for her to just be my main supporter. The Gu family has some power, so I can rely on them for a bit, but it is only a little bit."

"This is my path to becoming a strong man. With my special curse seal and the Taichu Scroll as my support, I think it won't be long before I can reach the second, third, and even fourth level. The fifth level is just around the corner."

"To become the strongest is destined to be a lonely road."

Xu Shu packed a bag containing portable canned compressed food and some water and set out on his journey alone.

All the way north.

This time, he got a little taste of sweetness.

Therefore, we prepared to sweep along the border line all the way.

I will try to save enough erosion crystal resources to level up to 20 before I go back this time!

This time he killed the vampire and obtained four green crystals and one blue crystal, which theoretically should be enough to upgrade to the next level. There is even hope that he can fill up the experience bar after upgrading this level.

This is actually very luxurious. Normally, white crystals are enough for a first-level transcendent to upgrade.

Unfortunately, Xu Shu's upgrade consumes too much energy, and using white crystals is not cost-effective.

This is the price to pay for gaining power far beyond one's peers.
Everything in the world follows this rule, which is the "law of conservation."

In addition, he also has a purple erosion crystal in his hand, which comes from the Vampire Baron.

If this crystal was used directly as dog food, even Xu Shu would feel that it was such a waste.

So of course it should be kept for other uses.

It is only a matter of time before he reaches level 20.

The next step is to prepare the basic seal.

The curse requires two things, one is the "mark", the other is the "curse crystal".

There is nothing that can replace the imprint.

However, there is a substitute for curse crystal, that is "talisman".

Strictly speaking, "talismans" are the orthodox ones, and using spell crystals is a niche.

The erosion crystal is the main material that can be used to make amulets. The quality of amulets is closely related to the erosion crystal. If you want to make a flawless talisman, you naturally need a flawless erosion crystal.

The only way to make talismans is through the Astronomical Society.

This was the fundamental reason why Xu Shu had a sudden idea today and was willing to take a small risk in order to make friends with the top leaders of the Astronomical Society and leave a good impression.

As a newbie with no background, he still needs to have connections in the court and make many friends before he can get things done.

"But speaking of it, my contribution points this time should be..."

Xu Shu quietly turned on the driver as he walked, unfolded the screen in front of him, and took a closer look.

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

*Contributions: 32!

-

Is it 32 o'clock?

Well, although they are both first-level, the purple-named Baron’s kill contribution is 4 points, and the blue-named Maid’s is 3 points.

In addition, for green vampires, each kill contributes 2 points, and the total for 4 vampires is 8 points.

All in all, the kill contribution from last night accumulated to a total of 15 points.

Add to that the 17 points already accumulated, and the total naturally reaches 32 points.

This is more than enough to pay for the contribution required to purchase the [Mirror of Reality and Illusion] to open the trading zone.

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little in joy.

Opening a trading zone is only the first step.

The trading area is a door. Once you open this door, you can earn more contribution points!

In this way, many of the difficulties he is currently facing will be completely resolved.

At the same time, the opportunity to express myself through the theme of "Taichu" that had been buried in my heart for a long time can finally be further attempted.

Xu Shu didn't expect that this time he came out to open up the wasteland and worked so hard for so long, but he didn't earn as much as he did in one night in the wasteland. He was filled with emotion.

It was the same thing as before in the western shelter, which provided him with many erosion crystals.

"Although the secret cultists are evil and have caused a lot of harm to people, they really... count as my experience pack."

"Unfortunately, the risk is too great every time. There is always the possibility of death."

"No wonder they say wealth and honor can only be found through risk. The ancients were right."

It's half past three in the afternoon.

Xu Shu walked northward, his eyes fixed on a predetermined coordinate - the supply point: (19, 6).

……

……

Northeast corner coordinates of the wasteland, (17, 19)

There are overgrown weeds taller than people, and from time to time there are exaggerated tree roots that look like earth dragons, tangled and intertwined.

Small ponds and streams can be found everywhere, the water surface is deep and green, and you can't see the bottom, dividing the area into wet areas.

A group of more than a dozen patrol vehicles were moving slowly along the inner side of the border line, leaving obvious ruts on the wet ground.

"It is said that this place was a famous scenic spot decades ago, before the great catastrophe and even the meteor shower. It was a time before the extraordinary appeared. Countless scholars and writers stopped here and wrote poems and painted pictures for it."

"Unfortunately, after so many years, modern civilizations have become ruins, and many are buried underground. Moreover, these ancient civilizations have long been destroyed and are difficult to find."

"Aunt, I've been here once. I was very young then. There were endless stairs to climb and ancient temples to visit, and endless playgrounds and animal parks to visit."

"What was the name of this place? It's been so long, I can't remember it..."

In one of the cars, Gu Yueming, dressed in snow-white clothes, rested his chin on one hand, looking at the scenery along the way and chattering away.

She did listen to Gu Pan's advice and did not wear her iconic career queen outfit this time. Instead, she chose something that was relatively convenient for traveling.

But even so, compared with the other members of the Gu family who were all dressed in dark white clothes, she was still the brightest one.

"Aunt, you'd better understand that we are here to hunt, not to travel."

Gu Yueming blinked: "Oh... Panpan, you are becoming more and more boring. You were not like this when you were a child."

"The city and the outside are naturally different. I told you to call me Gu Qian outside."

"Okay Qianqian."

"..."A thin "man" was sitting upright at the back, with the cursed sword placed flat on his knees. When he opened his eyes, murderous intent was everywhere, and he was cold and murderous, and naturally he was looking around.

This large force was jointly organized by the three heads of the Hunter Association.

The real main task is to find out the reason why a large number of alien species appeared in this wasteland not long ago.

However, the three major families all have their own plans. Find out the reason? How can it be more interesting and profitable than pioneering hunting?

Gu Pan is only at level six. His purpose of coming out this time is to hunt and hone himself, just to make up the numbers.

Of course I won't tell anyone else.

In fact, other people did not dare to underestimate the two head and servants of the Gu family.

Because they had conducted several small-scale pioneering hunting operations in the wilderness along the way, they had seen that this guy named "Gu Qian" was extremely powerful.

"Stop for a moment, there's something going on ahead."

The leading vehicle gave the first signal, and the following cars immediately pulled over and gathered around a building that might have been an ancient temple.

It looks like it has exquisite decoration, and was originally supposed to be in the shape of a "box", but after being buried under the soil, only a "person" is left.

The building is located in a special position, right on the border, so it is half inside and half outside.

At this moment, what alerted everyone were the large number of rut-like traces around it, which were one centimeter deep into the ground, spread out in all directions in a disorderly manner. The traces were very new and should have been left not long ago.

However, the problem is that even the first car has just arrived at its door.

"Everyone be careful. Either we just happened to run into another patrol and pioneering team, but that's unlikely. I think the traces were left by a snake-like species." A woman in black clothes and leather pants got out of the car and said, Tang Rou, whose name contains the word "rou" (rou), but there is no gentleness on her face at all. It is obvious that she is the type who has a strong desire to kill.

The Tang family is the only one in Shuri of the Three Hunter Associations that focuses on the "rogue" profession.

This Tang Rou is a second-level "assassin" and is considered the leader of the three families' joint outing this time.

With her around, one can naturally sense some dangers in advance.

"So, why can't it be a tentacle monster?" Gu Yueming walked over.

Everyone made way for him, and couldn't help but complain in their hearts, this is what an "assassin" specializes in doing, why are you, a wet nurse, joining in the fun?
As the only two healing professions in the team and the only second-level nurse, everyone naturally respected her and no one objected to her face.

After all, if something really happens and there is a life-threatening injury, you will have to ask her for help.

Tang Rou looked at Gu Yueming expressionlessly, her lips moved a few times, but she finally resisted the urge to scold her.

She then waved her hand, asking the others to stand on the left and right, and she took out a terrifying-looking three-edged spike and walked in first.

Theoretically, a Tier 2 warrior could easily walk across the wasteland, but it was always better to be cautious.

From the left side of “人”, walked into “人”.

But in this dilapidated temple, on the yellow sand ground, there was a strange Buddha statue.

Six arms and two faces, one smiling and the other glaring, nothing else.

Tang Rou stared at the strange Buddha statue, her nostrils fluttering several times, as if she was sensing something. Seeing that it was within the border, she finally said, "Move it away and go back to find someone to identify it."

……

The sun gradually sets in the west.

Xu Shu, who hurried along the way but encountered nothing, finally arrived at his destination.

The supply point lighthouse at (19).

Compared to the bustling wasteland trading area in 19 and 3, this place is naturally much quieter.

As soon as Xu Shu came in, he saw no more than ten people dining in the hall. When they saw him, they all looked at him warily, then lowered their heads and kept silent.

He looked around, but this time he didn't see anyone wearing a cult or organization uniform, and felt a little disappointed.

He immediately walked to the front desk and pushed two neatly folded 100-yuan bills to the aunt in her forties, saying, "Okay, get a room with hot water."
