The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 223 Xu Shu: Danger! (asking for monthly ticket)
At the end of the eighteenth year of the new calendar, in the northern part of the D8B3 wasteland, (1) Shelter, on the third floor, in a relatively clean and tidy single suite.

Beside the bed, there were balls of white paper crumpled into fist shapes, all covered with densely packed formulas. The large number of numbers made one feel dizzy at a glance.

A young man, lying with his legs spread out, sunk deep into the bed sheets, completely stiff.

His hands and feet were already cold, but his pupils still showed fear and despair.

The man's name is Xu Shu and he is eighteen years old.

he died.

……

In the supernatural world, there is a well-known thing.

That is the upgrade law called "The winner of the PK at the same level advances."

Every extraordinary person has a corresponding "curse seal" in his body, one for the first level, two for the second level, three for the third level, and so on.

And they form links in their own different ways.

By increasing the erosion level of the "curse", the amount of cursed power that the container can call upon can be greatly enhanced.

The method is very simple, which is to devour other objects with corrosive magic power, such as corrosive crystals.

The law of 'PK among the same level, winner advances' tells everyone that any level of transcendent must devour erosion crystals of the same level in order to upgrade the level of their curse.

For example, for a third-level transcendent who has just been promoted, his first and second-level spells are of course at the maximum level, each at least level 16 (excellent), while the third-level spell is just level 1.

After a period of practice, this person's erosion level is full (i.e. the experience bar), and he must devour another third-order erosion crystal to complete the transition from level 1 to level 2.

So the question is, where do the third-order crystals come from?

It doesn't appear out of thin air, it is only found in the body of a third-level monster!
Most of the first and second level strange creatures, no matter they are demons, alien species or evil spirits, are still primitive and like to gather in groups, but their numbers are abnormally large. If you walk out of the border and go into the wilderness, you can easily hunt a lot of them, just like chives.

However, monsters above level three are different. They have a strong sense of territory and are usually treacherous and cunning, with many burrows. Although there are also a lot of them, it takes a huge price to hunt them. If you are not careful, the roles of hunter and prey will be reversed.

This also means that after a Transcendent enters the third level, the upgrade speed will be visibly much slower than when they were at the first or second level.

It’s nothing, resources are just too hard to come by!
It is worth mentioning that.

If the extraordinary person chooses to be backward compatible, for example, a third-order extraordinary person devours a first-order or second-order erosion crystal, this is actually feasible.

Although it cannot provide the key step of "leveling up", it can still provide basic erosion magic power (experience bar).

However, its enhancing effect will be diluted to a very scary level.

As for those extraordinary people who want to advance to the first or second level, can they devour the third level crystals to practice?
Regardless of whether this is just a foolish dream, even if it can be done, it would be purely courting death.

It is the same path, swallowing crystals, which is essentially "PK".

If one is greedy and reckless and devours a level higher than the monster, at best the body that serves as the container will be damaged, and symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, concussion, internal bleeding, bone softening, visceral fibrosis, cell mutation, etc. will appear - in layman's terms, the curse of the extraordinary person failed in the PK with the monster's erosion crystals and suffered backlash.

In serious cases, the cursed power will get out of control, the body will disintegrate, and death will occur on the spot.

In short, when you are at the first stage, you devour the first stage crystals to upgrade. When you reach the second stage, you need the second stage crystals to upgrade. The third stage requires you to eat the third stage, and so on. This is the most common way for humans to practice cultivation at present.

The higher the level, the more brutal the competition.

It is said that if they reach the fourth level, eating second-level crystals will hardly increase their experience, and third-level crystals may not be useful to them.

After all, the fourth level is already known as a "demigod", and there is a stage gap between him and ordinary transcendents in terms of life form.

Maybe demigods have to eat one other demigod alive every day to level up.

It’s similar to raising Gu.

But this is actually the same for low-level players as well.

Aren't first-level extraordinary people also hunting first-level monsters? Hunting erosion crystals of the same level is definitely life-threatening. The death rate of the human pioneer team has never been low. We can only thank the Mother Goddess of Life, at least everyone can still survive.

Fortunately, humans are social creatures. Where there are people, there is the world, and where there is the world, there will be transactions.

The value of a first-level erosion crystal is generally around 30,000 to 100,000.

The price of a second-order crystal starts at around 300,000 yuan for the cheapest ones, and even over 1 million yuan for the more expensive ones, which is basically ten times the price.

Sell ​​the low-level crystals on hand, exchange them for contribution points, and use them to buy high-level crystals for upgrading. This will naturally greatly improve the efficiency of promotion for low-level transcendents.

After all, for higher-level extraordinary people, contribution points are consumed like water. Thousands or tens of thousands of contributions can be spent in a blink of an eye, and they may spend all of them on something they don’t know.

The "official mall" listed here is actually a bottomless pit.

But taking advantage of others' strengths and making up for one's own weaknesses is the unique economic model of human beings.

But the higher the color quality, the greater the fluctuation.

If the quality is higher, such as blue and purple erosion crystals, then it would be a bit of a loss to hand them over to the array directly. It is more suitable to be sold to some large chamber of commerce groups, so that some premium can be obtained. The first-level blue crystal can be sold for 200,000 or 300,000, and the first-level purple crystal can be sold for millions without any problem. Even so, they are often sold out and in short supply.

and so.

Xu Shu calculated over and over again on paper and came to a conclusion.

When I was at the first level, I consumed nearly ten blue crystals in order to upgrade.

Just a quick calculation.

That’s a loss of several million!

So Xu Shu died.

He was heartbroken!
"Is there any wealthy woman who treats money as dirt and wants to help me~"

"Those who can't kill me might as well kill me directly~"

Xu Shu lay on the bed, wailing weakly.

The body is soft, like softened marshmallows, in lumps.

Howling and howling.

Xu Shu gradually felt relieved.

Well, if he had saved up all the blue and above crystals and not eaten them, thinking of selling them for money and exchanging them for more cost-effective white and green crystals for upgrades, he might have been killed by the enemy long ago.

All I can say is that every sip and every bite is destined.

At the same time, Xu Shu also came up with a bold idea.

Originally, after he found out that his life at the second level was not much better than that at the first level, he had already developed a sense of frustration.

What about the second order?

Don’t you still have to worry about money? In order to upgrade, don’t you still have to put your head on the belt and fight those second-level monsters?

I had to risk my life to upgrade to level one, and I still have to risk my life to upgrade to level two. It doesn’t matter. Then wouldn’t my upgrade be in vain?
But after thinking about it, Xu Shu suddenly discovered a mistake he had made at the beginning.

That is, not every second-level transcendent has to fight to the death.

Those who are protected by family power are all protected by their elders.

I won’t talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Gu Pan and the others. A group of first-level people came out to fight and train, and they were followed by three second-level elders, a nanny, a radar (rogue), and a main C (fire mage), which was a perfect combination.

Even though most of them died miserably, the appearance was still there.

But when it comes down to it, it all comes down to one word - money.

People like Tang Rou, Gu Yueming, Song Qixing and other second-level people have nothing to do but come and hang out with the first-level people. Is it because they have too much time and nowhere to spend it?
of course not.

They accompanied the younger generation out to accept a mission, and after completing the mission and returning, they will receive corresponding rewards.

You can earn a lot of money by playing around with the first level. Isn't this better than going to the wilderness and taking risks yourself?
People die for money and birds die for food. It has been like this since ancient times.

Xu Shu has no elders to rely on.

But first he could join the organization - the Administration Bureau. They would not refuse a top 250 on the Qingyun List, which would be enough to get a relatively safe and well-paid job, such as becoming a prosecutor in the Judgment Department.

Prosecutors have it easy. They just need to use their power to give lectures against Gongbu attacks and cults in the city every day, and then sit there and enjoy respect and admiration. Criminals, on the other hand, have to consider a lot more, like the method of committing the crime, the target of the crime, the time and place, and how to kill an entire family in the most likely way to affect the security reputation of the safe zone.

In short, it was a good job. When Xu Shu was a high school student, he envied the prosecutors the most.

At that time, he could only stand on the playground under the scorching sun and endure the other side's chattering. Now, he has the strength and confidence, and has the opportunity to become one of them.

Unfortunately, it is said that the salary of the judge is higher, and the prosecutors do not have to go out on duty from time to time, nor do they have to face the risk of accidents such as being exposed after going deep into the enemy's lair and being tied up.

Unfortunately, judges generally need a background and power, and Xu Shu is not quite suitable in terms of the approach.

As far as he knew, judges were usually people from the "lawyer" profession, but strangely, the second level of this profession was called "prosecutor."

However, if one road doesn't work, Xu Shu still has another way to choose.

That is, to get rich by selling high-level marks!

His eyes fell on the mark "Physician", and he suddenly had a very bold idea.

You can completely go through the Taichu Volume Legend mode, choose twice, and mass-produce high-level marks.

It doesn't need to be very high, as long as it can reach the purple quality mark. The price of a purple curse seal can be several times more expensive than a blue one.

The only problem is that the 'fate pool' in the legendary mode is not fixed, and you may not be able to obtain a high fate every time.

Currently, the highest quality of destiny obtained in the second draw of the legend is the purple flawless level.

The worst time was when he started out green and white, and turned into a lizard. In the end, he got a blue quality mark altar through the channel: Ferryman.

But even so, because of the rule that 'the talisman can be one quality lower than the mark', Xu Shu still made some profit.

Find a reliable person to buy a green spell, and then combine it with the seal, and the one you sell is a blue spell. The difference is more than double. In this way, you can have a safe and stable harvest every day. Isn't it better than going out to the wilderness and risking your life for money?
This is because it is impossible to enter the safe zone when creating a legend, otherwise Xu Shu would be able to sit back and relax, making money just by lying down every day.

"That is to say, Wang Teng has a three-source Dao Marker, not a two-source Dao Marker, otherwise I would have been killed. I haven't seen anyone selling Xuan Zhang, so it seems that this thing is a contraband. It is estimated that its value will not be low. It cannot be easily shown to others unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Speaking of which, the Yin God Seal is fine as it can only be used by myself, but I can't seem to use this golden doctor's seal for the time being. If I synthesize it, I wonder how much it can be sold for? This price may be difficult to calculate, right? I have never seen an epic-level curse seal in the trading area. Scarcity makes things valuable. Why don't I set a small target price?"

Xu Shu muttered to himself cheerfully.

After some thought, he had a plan.

In order to alleviate the upcoming wallet crisis, he decided to find a way to see whether the recent "fate pool" is reliable and whether it can bring him enough profit.

"By the way, there's one more thing..."

As Xu Shu was sorting out the items in the Taichu Scroll's prop column, he discovered that he had an extra golden mysterious seal - [Bloodline].

There were two of these before, and one of them was used by Wang Teng as a curse seal.

Now, there is one left.

Originally, the Xuan Zhang could be kept until it reached the second level and given to Wang Teng to use. Its quality was fixed, but it was not affected by the level of the curse itself.

The first-order spell can be integrated to improve its quality, and the same can be done with the second-order spell.

However, Xu Shu now thought of Gu Pan who was sleeping in the next room. He remembered that a few days ago, she took out a set of white protective gear and gave it to him generously. He also remembered that when she took out a blue talisman and a purple mark for him, her face was full of pain and reluctance, but she still did not hesitate at all.

Xu Shu now knows clearly that although Gu Pan has the support of her family and some money, she cannot be said to be a truly wealthy lady.

She was very short of money, and these things were definitely not a small amount of money for her.

But even so, she didn't ask for any return from me that day, and to this day, she hasn't even mentioned it once.

If it were someone else, they would have hinted at something long ago. But unlike Gu Pan, who didn't even mention it directly?

Xu Shu can now feel that this "teacher" really does not regard him as an outsider.

Perhaps there is also the meaning of repaying the life-saving grace.

But in this matter, Xu Shu still accepted her favor.

He is not a person who likes to owe others anything. Being grateful is one of the virtues of human beings.

"If it becomes a double martial artist entry, just like Wang Teng, it will not affect the subsequent promotion. It will be fine to only use the curse of the single entry..."

"Haha, this guy is always thinking about restoring the glory of his ancestors. He seems to be quite ambitious and has aspirations to do great things. He can help her."

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Shu cleaned up all the things that were scattered on the bed, then took the [Bloodline] Xuanzhang in his hand and walked out of the room silently.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a gentle knock on the door in the corridor, followed by a creaking sound a moment later.

It was obvious that he had just taken a shower and his hair was still slightly wet, but Gu Pan, who was already dressed neatly, opened the door a crack.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late? It's almost eleven o'clock." Gu Pan looked Xu Shu up and down. She looked a little wary, fearing that he might have some evil thoughts in the middle of the night.

After all, this guy may be getting more and more lustful, and even his nickname is the Unshakable Golden Gun.

But if Xu Shu didn't go to find her, she would feel lonely and her self-esteem would be a little hurt, and she would be quite resentful.

Extremely contradictory.

All I can say is that women’s hearts are as unfathomable as the sea.

Xu Shu, on the other hand, looked like a gentleman. He quietly stretched out a hand and said, "I'm practicing and studying secrets. I've figured out a new posture that can effectively help people improve their strength. I want you to try it out."

"WTF?"

Gu Pan was stunned.

What kind of knowledge? Can it help others improve their abilities?
Why don’t you help me eat and study?

Just kidding really.

Don’t let your imagination run wild…Gu Pan wanted to say this.

But suddenly, she got a shock in her mind, and remembered the shameful urge to pee that she had when Xu Shu was practicing next to her, and the obvious positive effect it had on her body, and she immediately wavered.

"If someone else said that, I would just tell him to get lost and stop scamming people, but if it's this guy, he, he seems to have such ability... Damn, I always feel like I'm going to get addicted if I continue like this. What on earth is that secret book..."

Gu Pan thought a lot in his heart for a moment, and finally licked his lips and said: "It can improve strength, is it true? Let's try it?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Put your hand over here."

"Extend your hand? Is a handshake enough?"

Gu Pan reached out her hand half-believingly and let Xu Shu grab it.

"Holding hands can improve your strength? What the hell, is it the palm-to-palm power transmission in those old cartoon books? No, that stuff is really bluffing."

Feeling the big hand from the "student" completely wrapping his small hand, that reliable feeling of being completely wrapped made Gu Pan feel nervous for no reason, and suddenly an inexplicable thought flashed through his mind.

Wait, the way to help people improve, isn't it the legendary dual cultivation? The nun path has a similar skill that can help people break through...

Damn it, why did I agree to him without asking clearly!
No, no, I'm not ready yet...

Gu Pan reacted belatedly and his face turned red.

But in an instant, she felt something was wrong.

She felt something flowing from Xu Shu's hand into her body, like a warm current, long and endless.

Damn it, what weird thing did he use to strengthen me again... Why do I feel so ashamed of being immoral...

"Hmm~"

Gu Pan forced himself to remain calm, shuddered, and was preparing to use some excuse to reject the other party's subsequent "dual cultivation request", but he saw that Xu Shu had let go of his hand.

"Okay?" Gu Pan asked blankly.

Xu Shu showed a mysterious smile: "Okay, you have been strengthened. Good night, teacher."

After saying that, he went back to his room without looking back and locked the door with a click.

"Okay, it's done? It's done now?"

Gu Pan was extremely puzzled and even felt a little regretful.

She closed the door with a sense of loss, sat in meditation, looked inward, and checked the situation.

As a "martial artist", he possesses the special ability to sense the flow of energy in his limbs and bones.

Upon seeing this, Gu Pan suddenly felt strange. She felt as if there was something extra inside her body.

This thing is actually invisible through internal vision.

"Strange, what on earth did he put in here?"

Be puzzled.

After a brief pause, Gu Pan decided to give up thinking.

She straightened her chest, which completely defied physical logic. With just a bra, her breasts expanded from D cup to A-, as if they had not had time to develop, and she opened the upgrade network in front of her body.

The night is long and I have no mood to sleep, so I might as well surf the Internet and do some homework.

"I've upgraded one more level this time. After two more levels, I can open the trading interface."

Gu Pan felt slightly happy.

I just wanted to go see if there was any information or interesting things worth watching in the evening.

Her eyes were fixed on her personal information.

* Upgraded network
*Gu Pan, first-level martial artist
*Contributions: 24
[First-level Curse: Martial Artist (Epic) // Level: 10/20]

-

[Article: Sword Tomb Wanyi (Epic)]

*Talent: Physical proficiency, long sword proficiency, one of the Heaven Swords (breakthrough skill) (Number of skills remaining that can be broken through: 2)

[Article: Bloodline (Epic)]

*Talent: Mastery of piano skills, mastery of high notes (Number of skills that can be broken through: 3)

-

"Hiss, damn!"

His own curse seal actually had an extra entry, and it was of the same quality as his original sword tomb, both were epic level. This almost made Gu Pan's eyes pop out.

He actually became a "double curse seal", which was a special thing that only legendary figures that he had heard of in storytelling had.

But what is even more surprising is the basic dual skills that come with this curse.

"Mastery of piano skills? Mastery of high notes? What the hell?"

Gu Pan was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, she suddenly felt her hands and throat itchy. She couldn't help but want to play the piano with her hands and couldn't help but want to sing a song!
"No... this is... ah oh~ what kind of damn skills are these!"
