Chapter 166 Taichu must be a master of the Heavenly Ranking

[Unlucky! I lost a plastic monster that just reached the fourth level at the eastern border of D8B3 area today. I don't have time to find it, so I'll give it to you guys.] - Taichu!
A big post appeared in the world channel of Shengge Network.

Soon, some replies appeared.

Xu Shu clicked on it and saw:
"Is it authentic?"

"?"

"Taichu, this guy again? I remember him. The last time I saw him post was last time."

"?"

"Fuck, are you kidding me? Can you just throw this thing around?"

"?"

"If it was someone else who posted it, I might think it was bragging, but this person is Taichu, so everything starts to make sense."

"I said last time that this person's horse was gone. Look, I was right. Let's observe a three-minute silence for area D8B3."

"You dare to say such nonsense, brother, you are really brave. I mourn for you."

"A moment of silence."

"A moment of silence."

"What are you afraid of? I'm anonymous, haha."

"?"

"No, are you serious, sir?"

"Someone please sympathize with me, poor bastard! I just transferred here and made an appointment to go explore the wasteland! I spent 120 contributions to fly here! Fuck you, no, how can I dare to leave the border if you treat me like this!"

"That's so scary, luckily I'm not in area D8B3."

"???"

……

As soon as Xu Shu opened the comment section, he saw a large number of blessings.

There are a lot of question marks mixed in with the few greetings.

Seeing that a random post quickly became popular with 99+ messages, and that some people had already begun to speculate about the identity of "Taichu", Xu Shu couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the nickname "Taichu" is still quite popular, and it is worth his previous efforts to pretend to be a riddle man.

Human beings' ability to fight against weirdness is just so-so. So far, they have been hiding in tiny places dotted with strange things, unable to launch a real attack.

However, the power of this imagination is so amazing that it can shock the world and make ghosts cry.

If he changed the post to his real name "Gu Pan", not to mention the trouble that might come later, the Astronomical Society might ask him why he knew there was a fourth-level monster out there, and his credibility would be greatly reduced.

Who would believe a mere first-level transcendent who said he knew about the appearance of a fourth-level transcendent nearby?

But "Taichu" is different. This account had made some moves before. At that time, a direct sentence caused Melanie, the president of the Astronomy Society, to intervene and "manually" lock the post. It also attracted a large number of fourth-level masters to add "Taichu" as a friend, and contributed a tiny bit to his enjoyment of the upgraded essential oil spa at that time.

However, although the news is quite popular, why no one asked for the specific location? I want to do a favor.

Xu Shu frowned slightly, but understood in an instant.

To put it bluntly, most of the people in the comment section at this moment are just joining in the fun. They are not here at all, so whether there are any fourth-order "plastic surgery monsters" outside the border has nothing to do with them at all.

Since it's none of my business and I'm just joining in the fun, there's naturally no need to ask for the specific address.

After a little thought, Xu Shu saw the replies from several "locals" and locked on one of them. He was ready to ask "himself".

A good actor must have his own supporting role. No one can support him other than himself!

"Brother, stop joking. I'm from area D8B3. I'm currently pioneering on the eastern border. What you said almost scared me to death." - Yan Feng, Yan Xue, Yan Changsheng, a second-level night watchman.

"What a coincidence! Me too. I was so scared when I saw this sentence." - Captain Blackbeard.

"Is the news true or not? A few of us were just trying to find a location for the ruins, but we are stuck. Is your Eastern Theater Command so dangerous?" - See you as soon as you open the door.

"I happen to be in the northeast corner. I will help you verify it if I have the chance in my next life." - A widow.

"Don't be ridiculous upstairs. I'm in the southeast corner. Is this Taichu a big shot on the Heavenly Ranking? How come I've never heard of him?" - A big day.

Seeing these "locals" start chatting together, Xu Shu rolled his eyes, typed quickly, and replied after him:
"Damn it, me too! I just stepped one foot out of the border line, and I quickly shrunk back in fright! Can you tell me the exact location?" - Gu Pan, a first-class strongman.

"I depend on you being here too." - A widow.

"Naturally." - Gu Pan.

Although Xu Shu didn't know who the other person was, he knew that he was somewhat famous. After all, he was a young talent on the Qingyun List, and his title was outrageous enough, so it was normal for someone to recognize "Gu Pan".

Then, after asking for the address here and waiting for a few minutes, Xu Shu's mouth twitched.

Why doesn’t it seem like you’re setting a good example?
Except for "Gu Pan" who asked about the specific location, the others still didn't seem very interested.

How to answer "Taichu"? If you answer "Gu Pan" alone, it will seem too deliberate and will be remembered by those who have ulterior motives.

The key point is that Xu Shu was originally planning to wait for at least a fourth-level strong man to speak before answering reluctantly.

As a result, now a bunch of first, second and third level guys are making a fuss in the comment section. They have raised the status of "Taichu" to the level of a top figure on the Heavenly Ranking. If they speak rashly again, they will only lose their status.

So Xu Shu had a headache.

Are these fourth-level guys so patient?
Or is it that the way I spoke was wrong and someone saw through me?

Damn, ask me my location.

Ask, why not ask!!!
Xu Shu was a little angry, but decided to give up. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. He couldn't just give up his identity just to do good deeds.

I am now ready to shut down the network and continue on my journey.

However, at this moment, a comment from an acquaintance caught my eye.

"Senior, did you do this on purpose or by accident? Please tell me the exact location." - Melanie, the fourth-level Dongxuan Zhenjun.

"I love you, senior. Please tell me the approximate location." - Yimeng Qianqiu, a fourth-level spring elf.

"The fourth-level purple crystal is for those who are destined to get it! I have arrived at the D8B3 area. I haven't called anyone to form a team for a long time. Is there anyone who wants to go out for a walk with me?" - Chao Tianzi, a fourth-level soldier.

"When we fight with him, who will win depends on our own ability. I would like to ask you to privately message me for my position. I will add you. I hope you will be lucky enough to pass." - Yun Zishan, a fourth-level evil fairy.

"You can't do this, you fucking can't do this! If it falls here, it will be ours!" - Han Mo, a fourth-level astrologer.

"It's so funny. I remember there were two garrisons in your area, a nanny and a formation master? What can you use to grab kills?" - Bie Tianfeng, a fourth-level law mage.

……

For a moment, the comment section became much quieter, with only a group of fourth-level masters chatting.

This group of people are usually elusive and you rarely see them speak on the world channel.

I didn't expect that once they appeared, there would be so many of them.

Of course, Xu Shu recalled the vibration frequency that night and knew that the number of people who came was relatively small. It seemed that there were not many people in the water forum in broad daylight.

There is a saying that goes, netizens are like cockroaches. When you find one, there are actually many more underneath.

"That's about right." Xu Shu touched his chin. Although he didn't see any fifth-level characters, he felt that it was about right at the moment.

After all, 'Taichu' is obviously not a particularly aloof personality. Too much is as bad as too little, so he decided to stop while he was ahead, so he switched to using his nickname to speak.

"Hmph, you picked up such a bargain but you don't even know how to thank me? I forgot the exact location, but it's about 200 miles north of the central axis and about 80 miles away from the border." - Taichu.

As soon as these words were spoken, naturally another group of people came to express their gratitude.

At the same time, pop-up windows with information added by friends keep popping up in the lower left corner.

But Xu Shu ignored it.

He deliberately did not describe the location in detail, but his description was basically close to the position (19, 12).

Presumably, in this way, the group of unlucky third-level pioneers we met on the journey before would have a chance to escape the disaster in advance.

If this still doesn't work, or if they were too busy to see it, Xu Shu would have no choice but to give up.

Although I was trying to increase the popularity of "Taichu", I have done my best to help after all.

If this still cannot save them, it means that they are destined to have this disaster, and even if Jesus comes, he cannot save them.

After doing all this, Xu Shu closed the upgraded network interface.

Since they had explored the route in advance, Xu Shu felt more at ease. He continued north along the border and finally arrived at the Lighthouse Hotel (19, 12) at around five in the afternoon.

The scale of the lighthouse hotel here is similar to that of (19), and its location is quite unique. It should be a campus of a university, separated from the border by a lake.

The border is on the other side of the lake, and the Lighthouse Hotel is on this side of the lake.

Xu Shu still checked in and asked for one of the best suites.

Taking advantage of the fact that many people came to trade today and supplies were abundant, Xu Shu enjoyed a nutritious and rich dinner, which included relatively fresh air-dried beef and some frozen vegetables.

After all, it's in the wasteland, and it's a supply point like a lighthouse located on the border. Although there are many people, it's a bit wishful thinking to want to eat truly fresh food.

Even such a dinner cost Xu Shu a full 180 yuan.

After entering room 301 on the third floor of the hotel, Xu Shu locked the door and took out a big gun.

As the saying goes, when one is well fed and warmed, he will think about sex. Now that he has had enough food and drink, of course he will consider
——Upgrade matters.

"A level 15 blue erosion crystal. I'm already level 17 and a half now. This should be able to increase my experience bar by a large margin."

"But if you add some money, you can use it to make a blue talisman, which is exactly what I need..."

For the first time in his life, Xu Shu felt confused about the use of the blue crystals.

In the past, he might have just eaten it without even looking at it, but now, he has to make longer-term plans.

As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. What he has to consider now are nothing more than two things.

The first is to create a purple-grade curse seal, then engrave a Xuan Zhang on it and upgrade it to epic gold, so that Wang Teng can take it in and use it to break through to the first-level "Martial Artist". The next step is to make a big news by "continuing the legend" and get the legendary Xuan Zhang.

The second is to obtain the curse mark of "alien species".

Alien curse, this is the really difficult thing to deal with.

The only way Xu Shu has at the moment is to draw the legend twice and rely on luck to achieve it.

"Well, in that case, I should continue with my previous plan and draw the Taichu Scroll three times a day. The first draw will be used to poach monsters near the border, and the remaining two chances will be used to directly enter the Legend to brush the mark."

"So, although this blue erosion crystal is indeed valuable, it is just that valuable to me. What is more important to me is to quickly improve my strength."

Xu Shu silently made up his mind, swallowed the crystal, and quickly did sit-ups in a separate bathroom.

Nothing happened that night. The young couple upstairs were sweating profusely in bed, while Xu Shu was passionately working in the bathroom.

Everyone has a bright future.

……

The next morning, as the early morning sun tore through the darkness before dawn, Xu Shu crawled out from under the bed with a confident smile on his face.

[The sun rises, and all things revive. Welcome back to the Taichu Volume, great master! ]

[Number of times remaining to open today: 3/3]

[You can freely choose between the following two modes]

【Journey Mode】

【Legendary Mode】

As soon as the Taichu Volume was refreshed, he felt that he had infinite power.

"I don't know if the plastic surgery monster was killed yesterday. I could have used the crisis it brought to improve the quality of the legendary fate pool, but I guess it won't be useful now. Haha, there's always a trade-off."

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he did not regret his choice.

He silently clicked on [Journey Mode] and poured his will into it.

[Detecting current status...]

【Testing completed! 】

[Today is another beautiful day. You, Xu Shu, a level 17 peak warrior, have woken up from your deep sleep again. This time, your goal is to open up new land and hunt down erosion crystals.]

[Although you know that the wasteland is very dangerous, and there is a third-level Black Widow Count who has been eyeing you covetously, and you still don’t know whether you can get rid of it, you are not panicked at all, because you have the Taichu Volume, and the future is in your hands. With three chances to restart, what are you afraid of? ]

【Be foresighted and one step ahead of others. You are invincible on the journey! 】

[You are in a very...

……

"We are in a very bad situation right now."

In the moving SUV, Gu Pan opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yueming who was sitting next to him.

The one who said the bad words was not Gu Pan, but Gu Yueming.

"Why, weren't you just sighing that this place was a Feng Shui treasure land in the past and worthy of repeated visits?" Gu Pan rubbed her temples, feeling very tired. Suddenly, she noticed the word "again" in her mouth. Her eyes were confused at first, and then suddenly became sharp.

She hurriedly lowered her head and secretly took out something wrapped in a round black bag from under the car seat. When she opened it, she saw that it was an extremely round soup bowl!

Thinking of the purpose of this soup bowl, a hint of shame and annoyance flashed across Gu Pan's eyes, but this was not the time to worry about it.

She quickly turned the soup bowl over and saw four characters "正" (positive) engraved on it!

"That means I've been trapped in this cycle at least twenty times..."

Gu Pan narrowed his eyes, took out a knife very solemnly, and lightly added another "one" at the bottom.

This is the first stroke of the character Zheng.

Twenty-first cycle.

start up!
