Chapter 232: Rising Fame (asking for monthly votes)

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

*Contributions: 81
-

"Eh? It makes sense that Ji Yu wasn't killed by me. But how come Ji Yang isn't considered a monster?"

In the room, Xu Shu looked at his contribution, which was still at 81 points, and he was confused.

He thought that after killing Ji Yang, he would get 4 basic kill rewards.

But I didn't expect that there wasn't one.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

This is because this guy's erosion crystal is "Level 2", and he also showed Level 2 strength, but this is in the wasteland, and he was not attacked by the Star Tower.

According to the Star Tower's protection level, if a second-level monster appears directly in the wasteland, it will be hit by a single attack from the Star Tower.

Thinking about it this way, it is understandable.

In fact, Xu Shu even had to thank Ji Yang. If it weren't for his sudden idea, Ji Yu would have been dead.

Then, Xu Shu clicked on the flashing system prompt in the lower left corner with anticipation.

As we all know, although killing a Demon Chosen does not give you the same "kill contribution reward" as killing a monster (one point for white, two points for green, and three points for blue), you will get an extra "friend fee".

"I wonder if it will happen this time too? They won't deduct money from me just because Ji Zhe's ability is too poor, right?"

Xu Shu muttered to himself as he stuffed the level 18 purple spell crystal into the small cloth bag, wrapped it repeatedly several times, and placed it together with the other spell crystals, occupying one grid in turn, and then looked at the interface in front of him with a little anticipation.

[You have defeated/killed other extraordinary people. You have chosen to upload your record to the upgrade network. Excellent records have the opportunity to improve your ranking. Please continue to work hard. ]

You defeated...

[Your current ranking: No. 250 on the Qingyun Ranking, nickname: Unbreakable Golden Spear, Gu Pan! ]

Xu Shu remained unmoved.

This is the record uploaded at the beginning when I killed five Saviors.

He continued to look down and saw the latest news:
[You picked up the upgrade drive of another extraordinary person... Correction, you picked up the curse crystal; the other party's identity is: blank, not an extraordinary person registered on the upgrade network. ]

[Information input completed: Nibest, first-order unclean one... A special state has been detected, and authorization has been requested from the array. Information is being corrected...]

[Information confirmed: You killed a demon chosen by God, and will receive an additional 100 contribution points! ]

[The chosen ones of the devil are a great threat to the human race. Hunting down the chosen ones of the devil is a great contribution to the human race. I will give you this reward as an encouragement.]

[Note: The reward is delayed and will be automatically issued to you within 24 hours! Thank you for your great contribution to the revival of mankind! ]

Hey!

After seeing the new news, Xu Shu couldn't help but curl up his lips.

Sure enough, there are also a hundred points.

With this purple curse crystal, if I take it to the trading zone to sell it, I can get more than 100 points. At least I can get nearly 200 points.

In other words, my net income from today's battle is close to three hundred contributions.

If this were converted into cash, it would definitely be more than three million.

Three million, what does that mean?
This amount of money is enough to allow his adoptive father Zhou Junjie to get sick again. The amount is more than the contribution Xu Shu has accumulated so far.

The average person cannot earn that much money in their entire lifetime.

And I only made a slight effort, spent less than an hour and my life, and successfully obtained it.

"Killing people and setting fires will earn you a gold belt. The ancients were not wrong!"

"Of course, the premise of all this is to have strong enough strength."

"Three hundred contributions are enough for me to buy a dozen second-order erosion crystals, which can allow me to upgrade to at least three levels, no, four levels, right?"

"It's a pity that the purple quality items are better left in my hands. It's more cost-effective to exchange them for purple quality items in other people's hands. If I exchange them for money, it's a bit of a loss!

"But if I meet the Chosen One a few more times, wouldn't I be able to reach the second level in a matter of minutes?"

"I wonder if there are any other shelters in this wasteland that can produce the Chosen Ones?"

"No, you can't think like that. After all, the Chosen Ones are rare. Moreover, the first level is not the limit. They can even enter the second level. At the same time, it seems that all the curse crystals of the Chosen Ones must be at the maximum level.

"With my current strength, if I were to meet a Level 36 God's Chosen, I'm afraid I'd still be far behind... I'd better be more restrained, huh!"

"Still not strong enough..."

Xu Shu patted his face, feeling both expectant and conflicted.

But this did not prevent him from thinking carefully.

With the money I have now, plus the dozen or so erosion crystals from the Man-Man that I still have, I can sell them quickly. After selling them all, how many second-level crystals can I get in exchange for them to improve myself?

Anyway, it was still early, not even seven o'clock, and Xu Shu was too lazy to urge Gu Pan, the "mother and daughter", to get up so early.

It's just right, I can relax, read the news, and browse the trading house.

He first entered the [Trading Channel] with a purpose. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the major trading companies and the "official" shops of the Astronomical Society, which specialized in selling erosion crystals, spells and seals, to check the cabinets.

The result was somewhat similar to what Xu Shu had guessed.

Even though it was still early, all the purple flawless quality crystals, talismans, and seals in the major shops were "sold out".

There will also be a note at the bottom of the shelf: We purchase various purple crystals at high prices for a long time.

Xu Shu was very skeptical whether these guys really put the flawless props on the shelves for sale.

Maybe it's just a video of the cargo.

There are quite a few blue quality ones, but the prices are often inflated.

The most outrageous one here is the chain store that shouts every day on the [World Channel] next door that the prices at Wanbaolou are fair and honest.

Just click into one of the stores and look at the shelves. A blue quality talisman is selling for 80 points for the first level?
Is there anything wrong.

This premium is definitely more than 200%!
Why not rob?

They still dare to claim that their prices are fair and honest, how shameless they are!
Xu Shu frowned and silently clicked on several sellers with the Wanbaolou brand. The upgrade driver was quite user-friendly, providing an option to "reduce refreshing the seller's information".

However, if the quality drops a little, the price will drop significantly.

For example, the green erosion crystal has eight points for the first level and about twenty points for the second level.

Noticing the price of the second stage, which was similar in many stores, Xu Shu felt a little relieved.

This price was higher than he had imagined, but it was still acceptable.

In addition, the same is true for some spell tools. The price of green spell tools ranges from a few dozen points to over a hundred points, which seems not expensive, but it seems that they don’t have much effect and are not suitable for me.

But the price of a higher level blue superior grade spell tool is very high, with the starting price being four or five hundred points, and often over a thousand points, which really makes Xu Shu hesitate.

This suddenly reminded him of an old friend who had turned on the perspective and automatic aiming, and the excellent floating cannon that the other party had mentioned, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

"Clap clap~"

Thinking of this, Xu Shu picked up the "Narrow-sleeved Guanyin" on his waist, which still had its eyes closed and seemed to be undergoing some changes. He fanned it hard a few times to vent his anger for losing tens of millions of dollars.

The last time I saw the pair of floating cannons was when I was being chased by the narrow-sleeved Guanyin. As a result, this guy was contaminated and turned into a record girl figure. Although she became Xu Shu's plaything, the valuable curse tool was lost.

"Let's see how deep it can go. If it doesn't work, we'll tear it down. There's at least one top-grade purple crystal inside."

Xu Shu calculated silently.

The eyes of the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin seemed to close even tighter.

After sweeping the basic market in the trading area, Xu Shu clicked on the world channel and browsed the latest "news" with great pleasure.

The world channel is still as lively as ever, and you can always see various news about new relics.

In addition, there are also many "clickbait headlines" that are full of jokes.

Speaking of clickbait titles, Xu Shu couldn't help but wonder if there was any explosive news recently that could be used to give the pseudonym 'Taichu' some exposure and status.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any recently.

The "Ksitigarbha with the Tail" seems to be counted, after all, His status is high enough. Unfortunately, it's not good if it's too high, and the Alliance can't seem to afford to offend this thing at the moment.

Apart from the Star Tower, Xu Shu has never heard of any human hero who can single-handedly challenge a "sixth-level" one.

Therefore, the message pinned on the Shengge Network that “the human situation is very difficult” is indeed correct.

Who knows how many evil gods with strange states like the One-Tailed Ksitigarbha there are in the wilderness?

If it weren't for the star towers in various places serving as a protective umbrella, human civilization would have been crushed by monsters long ago.

Speaking of which, the two fourth-level monsters that fought outside the border a few days ago, the demon "Famine Lord" and the cancer duke "Lakaan", were actually worth mentioning.

If the news was released in time, he could pretend to be someone who had left the hairy crab there and was planning to raise it to eat as a drunken crab, just like the fourth-level "plastic surgery monster" last time.

Unfortunately, Xu Shu's interest was diverted by Su Ji Herrera who came over following the scent, and he didn't have time to take care of it.

As a result, Xu Shu had just seen that someone had sent this message.

[Breaking news! Witness the battle between the fourth-order giant beasts, and the invasion of monsters outside the border of D8B3 area! ]——The poor little widow. (99+ comments)

This was news from the day before yesterday, but it was still pushed to the top.

Click in and you can see this guy's own pinned reply: Front row acquisition of epic Physician Path Curse! The higher the quality, the better, please~
-

"Fuck, this guy is also a headline party! They just had a fight outside, where did they invade?"

Xu Shu was very angry and upset that his "traffic" was taken away by others.

This young widow from a poor family is ranked fourth on the Qingyun List. Her nickname is quite nice, something like "Tangxi Sword Fairy".

At that time, because his title was too ugly, Xu Shu remembered her angrily. He also remembered that this guy seemed to be hanging around in the northern war zone and often participated in various pioneering activities in the Arctic Ocean, so he was on the list.

The D8B3 area is located in the middle section of the Eastern Theater, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the northern border, and it takes hundreds of kilometers to teleport there. Xu Shu suspected that this guy probably got the inside scoop from somewhere.

"The fourth-best expert in Qingyun, his strength is probably close to the third level. Even many third-level experts of lower quality may not be his opponent. If I have this strength, then a mere second-level divine choice would be easy for me to defeat~"

Xu Shuhao was envious for a while, and saw a post, which was a list of "Qingyun Ranking (updated daily)" compiled by a curious person. He clicked on it and took a look, and was suddenly stunned.

The poster, "Shuilongyin", first gave a long speech saying that he was from Baiyujing and was bored. He thought that young people were formidable, so he made a list of people on the list for everyone to browse.

And on this list, the number one on the Qingyun list has surprisingly become this poor young widow.

[Battle record: Defeated the number one on the Qingyun Ranking, "The Immortal Grip" Yan Huoxing head-on, and successfully reached the top, well-deserved.]

After not seeing her for a few days, she has become the top lady on the list? Is she that awesome?
At the same time, he also looked through it and found out that his bride, Xie Xiaochan, was also on the list in terms of strength, and ranked quite high.

Sure enough, she was found. She is now ranked 19th on the Qingyun List, nicknamed "Black-Hearted Rose". Before that, she was ranked 38th, and the ranking was refreshed on "the end of November of the 18th year of the new calendar."

Black heart rose?

Ah, does this nickname mean that she is insidious?

Xu Shu's mind automatically emerged with Xie Xiaochan's outrageously cute face, as well as the private "selfies" she sent him from time to time. He thought that she was not a bad person at all, and that the Seven-Colored Taoist Nun was obviously quite repressed and coquettish.

However, the other party's ranking was so far ahead that Xu Shu couldn't help but feel that there were indeed many heroes in the world and he still needed to work hard.

Just as I was thinking this, a golden light suddenly flashed before my eyes, followed by more and more golden lights.

At the top of the forum, past the pinned Instructions for Newbies to the Extraordinary Alliance, large golden characters symbolizing auspiciousness were arranged in an array, as if an invisible figure was writing all of this.

A server-wide announcement appeared.

Xu Shu was familiar with the place and naturally knew that this was another update to the list.

With an attitude of watching the show, Xu Shu waited for a moment, ready to see which young talent would be on the list recently.

After a few breaths, his eyes froze slightly.

I saw a string of words appear in large letters:

"The sky is full of praise, and I am filled with gratitude. This young talent has made further progress!
"In early December, in the Eastern Wasteland, the second-level Iron Armor Gu Pan was attacked. He was not afraid of the powerful enemy and won the battle. He killed the cunning and powerful enemy and stopped the evil plot. He made great achievements in the battle and even blocked the Demon God's Chosen. He has made great contributions to the human race. He has unlimited potential and should be commended!"

"My brother is currently in trouble. A black spear bursts out amid the sound of tearing silk. A demon has been haunting me for half an hour. The sky is filled with the roar of flying lions!"

"Qingyun Ranking Updated!"

"No. 99, the Demon Slayer - Gu Pan!"

-

what?
It’s me?

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.

Good guy, he has ended up eating the melon on his head. This announcement is his own "Qingyun Ranking Update Announcement".

Xu Shu couldn't have imagined that this time the array rankings would be announced so quickly.

It's been less than an hour and the ranking has been updated.

This comment, what is this brother currently doing, damn it... the implication is too obvious!

Xu Shu almost blacked out from watching this.

He then remembered that when he uploaded the battle record just now, it was so smooth. He thought that killing the Demon Chosen One was a good thing, so he clicked it directly.

But who would have known that this "battle video" started from the time he killed the Saviors and ended when he killed the Demon Chosen One, with no pauses in between.

Therefore, even the clip where he took the opportunity to bully Ji Yu, who had turned into an evil spirit, just to make himself happy, was uploaded.

Xu Shu read it over and over again, somewhat worried that someone might be able to tell what had happened from just these few words.

"Shouldn't it be? Except that the first sentence is a bit straightforward. However, when ordinary people see something like being possessed by evil spirits or exorcising evil spirits, they probably won't think about what I'm doing. It's impossible for them to guess what the battle that I finished in half an hour involved! Yes, absolutely impossible... At most, they would think that my method of killing the devil might be a bit extreme..."

Especially this "flying all over the sky", other people probably don't know what it is talking about specifically.

Only Xu Shu himself knew at a glance that he was talking about Ji Yang, whom he used as a human bomb.

"Fortunately, it was said in a rather obscure way! It shouldn't be that easy to tell!"

"What the hell, what's the point of having such a good imagination? What kind of shitty doggerel did you write? Deduct your money!"

When Xu Shu was indignant, the post quickly reached (99+ replies).

It was his first time, so he was a little hesitant to click on it to read what was said inside, fearing that someone would discover the truth.

But blessing is not a disaster, and disaster is unavoidable. There is no point in being a turtle. After taking a few deep breaths, Xu Shu pretended to be calm and clicked on the comment section to take a look.
