The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 222: The informant: Qingyun idiot, the invincible golden spear (asking for monthly tickets)
"I hope that Bishop will not think that I am cheating you just because I said something vague. You should take it seriously~"

After carefully selecting the information he had currently obtained and sending it to the bishop, Xu Shu waited quietly.

In less than five minutes, he received a reply from the other party.

"I'm Yu Mingluan, thank you for your letter."

“First of all, I regret to tell you that I don’t know what you mean by [Sky Sea]. If you look at the literal meaning, it may be related to air flow, ocean currents, natural disasters, etc., but this is just a guess;
“Strangely, its name makes me feel inexplicably familiar, haha, maybe it’s because we pray to the sky every day and at the same time go deep into the ocean to explore the unknown;

"Secondly, the secret cult that worships the Dark Mother Goddess is called the Black Virgin School. This cult flourished briefly in the early days of the Cataclysm, but soon withered away. Now it seems that the cultists are still determined to destroy our human race, so we need to continue to be vigilant.

"I will submit this matter to the Astronomical Society's top leaders. Thank you for your efforts. May the formation bless you. And the Lord of our temple as well.

"Also, I invite you to join the church again and become a formal member, or even go a step further and enter the Holy Church directly? Young people like you who are so passionate and ambitious should enter the Holy Church and explore the glory that mankind has lost together.

"You know, Dawn Church saved me in my darkest hour. And the Lord.

"And young people like you are the most suitable to witness the dawn of glory. Of course, there is also the Lord."

"I look forward to seeing your name on the human list. Keep up the good work. The Dawn Church is also looking forward to your joining. And the Lord." - Yu Mingluan, a third-rank cardinal.

……

"Whoo~"

Xu Shu wiped the sweat off his face.

Perhaps that was why he was reluctant to go to the Archbishop for help more often.

As one of the remaining believers of the fallen temple, even though he is now the Archbishop of the Church of Dawn, he always wants to promote the 'Original Creator' that the temple once believed in to others from time to time, which is somewhat a case of taking advantage of his position.

This is because the Dawn Church believes in the sun and does not praise any gods. Otherwise, if someone like Yu Mingluan was placed in a sect like the Moon Church or the Star Church that has a clear belief in "God", he would be thrown into a pig cage.

Speaking of this, Xu Shu even thought that the Star Society also believes in the so-called "Lord who created everything", and the Temple also believes in an "original creator". They probably learned this from the same Bible. Why don't you two fight to see who is the real "original"?

Fortunately, apart from his somewhat old-fashioned fanaticism in faith, Archbishop Yu Mingluan is ultimately a relatively reliable person.

Although, he didn't know what the sky sea was.

But when he saw that he chose to take the matter seriously and reported it to the top leaders of the Astronomical Society without knowing the truth, Xu Shu felt relieved.

What he feared most was that when he sent the intelligence up, it would be considered unimportant and ignored by those who had only a limited understanding of the information. That would be a real headache.

In other words, Melanie deleted herself out of fairness and justice. Otherwise, Xu Shu would have chosen to report it directly to the Astronomical Society's top leader.

"I hope the authorities can send someone strong enough to stop it in time."

Xu Shu prayed silently in his heart for the refugees living in the eastern wasteland.

As for himself, of course he would choose to stay away from there.

As the saying goes, listen to advice, eat your fill, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

If you know clearly that the Church of the Dark Mother Goddess or the School of Black Virgin are going to cause trouble in the eastern part of the wasteland, but still stubbornly refuse to leave, then you are not a warrior, you are simply mentally ill, and even if you want to die, you can't be stopped.

"Speaking of which, the bishop looks quite serious and formal, but why does he speak in a weird way? What does it mean to be on the human ranking list and have an unbreakable golden gun?"

Xu Shu rolled his eyes secretly.

He was just about to shut down the upgrade drive and call Gu Pan and Gu Yueming to rest tonight in this large shelter located almost directly north of the safe zone.

But suddenly, he noticed that the two women turned their heads from the front seat and looked him up and down with curious eyes.

Just watch it.

But when they saw that Xu Shu was also looking at them, they looked away unnaturally, as if they didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Ok?"

what happened?

What's wrong with their attitude? Why are they blushing...

Xu Shu immediately noticed something was wrong, cleared his throat and asked, "Is there something wrong with me? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, nothing! You are very, very normal!" Gu Yueming refuted immediately, trying to cover up his mistake.

Xu Shu frowned and looked towards the driver's seat: "Teacher? Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

His tone was rhythmic and deliberately drawn out, with a hint of threat.

If you don’t tell me, I will tell your secret!

Gu Pan immediately understood the meaning, and was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She completely forgot what kind of handle Xu Shu had on her, but she always felt that if she told it out, it would be a secret that would kill her on the spot.

No, I can’t say it.

Will die!
It will definitely kill the company!
She exhaled, adjusted her mood and said: "It's nothing, it's just that you are on the list again."

"ranking?"

Xu Shu was stunned at first, then a familiar feeling came over him, and he suddenly understood.

Yes, today we killed the real body of the "Demon of the Heart" Suji Herrera, also known as Fish Head Su.

The opponent is not a simple monster, but is somewhat similar to the Devil's Chosen One, and has cursed crystals in his body.

As we all know, killing an enemy that possesses a curse crystal can also gain the recognition of the array.

This morning, after Xu Shu killed Yutou Su, he subconsciously clicked on "Upload Battle Record" once.

I just thought it was interesting at the time, and since the target was not a human, I uploaded it casually.

Now it seems that it is time to refresh my position in the rankings.

"Tsk, it's just a new ranking, why make such a fuss about it..."

Xu Shu felt that the two were making a big deal out of nothing.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he seemed to remember something.

"Wait, if the rankings are refreshed, it seems that there will be a short-lived server-wide announcement, and a new nickname will be given, right?"

With a bad premonition, Xu Shu turned on the upgrade drive.

I flipped through it casually and found a "server-wide announcement" whose latest reply time was one minute ago.

This announcement was released around three o'clock in the afternoon. It must be said that Liezhenzi was very efficient this time, refreshing the rankings in just a few hours. At that time, Xu Shu was preoccupied, Gu Yueming and Gu Pan were busy driving and sleeping respectively, so everyone missed this server-wide broadcast.

Fortunately, the server-wide broadcast exists as a separate post and can be pushed to the top by continuous replies for a long time.

The comment section was completely filled with comments from two of the three major healing professions, naturally the "Mother Goddess Path" and "Nun Path" nurses.

It's either 'Brother is so awesome, let me introduce myself, I will feed you my 37 degree hot milk alone', or 'I'm hiding in the safe zone, it's already the safe period, I'm waiting for my strong brother to come and accompany me' and so on.

The entire comment section is not suitable for children, and it is completely flooded with all kinds of explicit and strongly suggestive words.

The reason is, of course,
[The sky is full of praise, I am filled with gratitude, and I am a talented person who will make further progress! ]

"In early December, in the Eastern Wasteland, Tie Yi Gu Pan, with his second-level body, leaped over a large level to fight against a third-level demon girl. He drove a tiger to devour a wolf, held up a pillar and pierced through two, killed one and subdued another, and retreated unscathed."

"The voice of the giant muscle king is still there, and the unbreakable golden spear will defeat the queen!"

"The ranking of the Qingyun Ranking has been updated. The new crown has been crowned, and the glory is endless!"

"Qingyun 250th place: The unbreakable golden spear, Gu Pan!"

-

"..." The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched.

Two hundred and fifty is two hundred and fifty, it's a good thing to be ranked high, at least the weekly salary can be a dozen or twenty points more.

I guess it was because he won by driving the tiger to devour the wolf, otherwise he would definitely be ranked in the top 50.

Even if you say that it is an unbreakable golden spear, I can tolerate it. After all, the "Sun-Chasing Golden Spear" is indeed strong and stands firm.

However, isn't your battle evaluation a bit malicious?
What is a pillar supporting the sky? What is a one-on-two? It was a pretty normal fight, right?
After being evaluated like this, it seemed as if Xu Shu had done something to Su Ji's real body and three corpses.

No, I didn’t, I am innocent!
Seeing that the comments section was filled with messages like "Brother, do you want to make a date?", Xu Shu felt that his reputation had really been damaged.

This is blatant slander, isn't it?

"Damn you, how dare you bully me!"

Xu Shu clenched his fists tightly, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Pan looking at him with a look of despair.

Gu Pan said silently: "Xu Shu, as your teacher, I beg you, can you use your own name from now on? If not, I will be your student and you can be my teacher!"

Xu Shu sat up straight on the spot, waved his hand, and said righteously: "How can that be? A teacher for one day, a husband for a hundred days, a thousand days..."

"what?"

"No, nothing. I mean I won't change." Xu Shu said confidently.

"you!"

Gu Pan was really about to collapse. She felt too embarrassed to face anyone.

How can I face people who know me and my real name in the future? Ah? I am Gu Pan!
The last time, the giant muscle king only gave a little hint, but this time the hint was more obvious, it was almost explicit.

So this guy went out for the whole morning to commit crimes?

Damn it, how could I have been so blind to think he was a good person!
What a pity.

He is definitely not a good person!

Damn Qingyun, you idiot!

Gu Pan was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Gu Yueming, who was standing next to them, looked back and forth between the two of them with a strange look in his eyes, lingering for a few moments as if he was thinking about something.

……

By the time this matter was over, it was already evening and the sun had set. Xu Shu and the others finally moved into this rather large shelter.

Every shelter in the wasteland, no matter how good or bad the living conditions are, will have some guest rooms prepared to provide for passing scavengers or some pioneering teams out hunting.

Rooms vary in quality, and prices for a night's stay vary in price.

The cheap ones are just a few dozen yuan per room, which is enough to accommodate four or five people.

The more expensive rooms are provided with hot water and heating, and the charge ranges from two to three hundred yuan to four to five hundred yuan, depending on the level of demand in each place.

In addition, some transactions for money and sex are also quietly proliferating here, which is not uncommon.

It can be used to make friends with the official patrols that come to provide supplies regularly, and to be self-sufficient. If you are lucky, you may even meet a rich young man and take him back to the city to live.

There is a real precedent for this. The women in the wasteland may not be as pretty as the girls in the city, but their personalities are unique, and some of them have good foundations and are quite wild.

As for the possibility of accidentally giving birth to a boy or girl, wouldn't it be more in line with the teachings of the Mother Goddess Church and help the human race to expand, the more the better? That is another story.

In short, it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

This shelter is quite large, and has the air of a nearby trading hub, with people coming and going in the hall.

On the side of the hall, there was an area blocked off by a curtain. Sitting outside was a woman who was wearing rather revealing clothes and had a graceful figure. She was a relatively older woman.

At this moment, she was talking to a few tall, dusty men. Soon she received the deposit, smiled brightly, and led the men to the back with graceful steps.

"There are streetwalkers everywhere in the wasteland. It's become an industry here~"

Xu Shu recalled his past experiences and could not help but marvel at them. Just as he was about to stop and look through the gap in the curtain to see what was happening behind, he was pushed by Gu Pan in an unpleasant tone.

Facing the obviously hostile gaze of his "mentor", Xu Shu's breathing stagnated, and he snorted coldly, "The world is really going downhill, people's hearts are no longer the same, it's outrageous, too outrageous!"

After saying that, he strode towards the hotel check-in counter in front.

Since he had some money from collecting bodies of victims of a bankrupt lighthouse, Xu Shu was very generous this time and directly asked for three rooms in good locations.

I originally wanted to let the two women live in one room, but then I thought about it and realized there were people queuing behind me. If the scavenger saw them, he would think he couldn't afford to live there, so I just gave each of them a room.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, Xu Shu said goodbye to his beautiful teacher and Aunt Bai Lianhua one by one, hoping to meet at the entrance of the shelter tomorrow morning.

Then he went into his room number 301. After finishing the inspection, he locked the door and closed the curtains.

beep~
Xu Shu took out a handful of erosion crystals and arranged them neatly on the bed sheet, one by one.

Most of it is white crystals, and there are not many floc-like spirals inside, with as few as one or two and as many as nearly ten.

Some of them are green, which are of good quality.

In addition, there are several purple erosion crystals and curse crystals placed separately.

Among them, there are first-order erosion crystals from the Vampire Baron and Count Lance, first-order curse crystals from a certain demon god's choice, and a complete set of first to third stage curse crystals obtained from Su Ji Herrera.

Open the panel and take a look.

* Upgraded network
*Gu Pan (Taichu), Level 2 Iron Armor

*Contributions: 81
[First-level Curse: Hercule (Legend) // Level: 20/20]

[Second-level Curse Seal: Iron Armor (Legendary) // Level: 01/20]

—

"Only 81 points, not enough, too little."

Xu Shu weighed a piece of white erosion crystal, and without much hesitation, he stuffed it directly into his crotch, and with the help of his underwear (upgrade drive), he swallowed it into his body.

As a wave of heat rose, he quickly lay on the ground and did sit-ups.

But the strange thing is that this time I only produced some slight sweat and felt a slight soreness in my body.

It was not like usual, as long as he swallowed the erosion crystals and increased his spell power, blood would spurt out from the pores all over his body. No matter how low-quality the crystals he ate, some blood would spurt out as a token of his respect, more or less.

Now, although the blood did not spurt out, Xu Shu was not satisfied.

As his strength increased, his control over himself became more and more subtle.

After eating this level 4 white crystal, he could clearly feel that the experience bar of his "Yang Shen·Iron Armor" curse was not moving at all.

It is as still as a mountain.

How much has it improved? Is it one percent?
Xu Shu wasn't so sure.

Maybe not.

Too little.

When upgrading the first-level curse, eating a white crystal would at least increase the level by 3-4 percentage points, sometimes even by 7-8 percent.

But now, not even one percent.

Comparing the two, Xu Shu was naturally dissatisfied.

He remembered that he was Wang Rui in the bathroom of Nuxu Palace, oh no, it was the practice room.

If I remember correctly, the true disciples of the Nuxu Palace at that time used mainly second-order erosion crystals for their cultivation.

"It seems that what Gu Pan said is correct. Each level of crystal corresponds to a level of curse seal. When I was at the first level, I used a first-level crystal, which belongs to the same stage."

"Now that I'm at the second stage, naturally, I have to use crystals of the same stage as dog food to ensure efficiency."

Xu Shu let out a breath and preliminarily confirmed the matter.

This is not something to be happy about.

He took out a piece of paper and started calculating silently.
