The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 239: I don’t have a sword to slay dragons, so I can only return to my hometown to start a business (ask for monthly tickets)
"Alas, I never thought that after running through such a vast wasteland for a whole morning, I would only encounter these two monsters. The Administration Bureau has been describing the wasteland as so dangerous, but I think it is just like that. It's really disappointing. My sword is not yet full of water!"

Gu Pan gently wiped the blood-stained sword with a cloth, with a look of unsatisfied emotion on his face. Two words were written all over his snow-white and flawless face: invincible.

She got up early this morning and was dragged by Xu Shu to open up new land in the wilderness, under the pretext of "challenging oneself and breaking through limits."

Since becoming a transcendent and going out of the city to "hunt", she has never really left the wilderness. Today is her first time to "go out and explore the wilderness".

The enemies they encountered were a pair of monsters who were having an affair.

One is a flying-headed barbarian with only a head left, and all its organs are grown on the head. When it gets angry, a long horn will grow on its forehead.

The other one was a demon of lust that was obviously disgusting and ugly, with skin like mud and covered with plum blossoms with large holes oozing pus.

Their strength was not particularly strong to begin with, and they were ambushed during a period of climax. How could they have the ability to fight back?
So Xu Shu and Gu Pan each attacked one by one separately and captured the enemy directly.

Among them, Xu Shu was particularly surprised by Gu Pan's performance. This guy was killed with just two sword strikes.

Then, Gu Pan followed Xu Shu and killed a lot of monsters without encountering any monsters, and returned safely to the border.

But she never thought that she would be so "lucky" this time because Xu Shu had already gone through the journey mode of the Taichu Volume and figured out the safe route.

Otherwise, if I rushed around, I would probably step into the swamp full of beautiful frogs and fish heads and become the frogs' meal. How could I still speak here?
Like those parking lots full of skulls at the back, the weird glass fragments that could tear people apart at any time, the strange video store that is swallowed up by old records as soon as you enter, and other weird ruins of former civilizations, etc. Which one is not a dangerous place that could make an entire team of pioneers go there and never come back?

Not to mention the tomb that can create illusions and lure people into going deeper. The third-level "Yin Wang" of that ghost woman has such a big appetite that even if a second-level team goes in, I'm afraid it won't be able to fill even a tiny bit of her gap.

Even so, in the wilderness, it can only be regarded as the lowest "force".

Other more terrifying and scary monsters keep appearing.

Once humans cross the border and enter this wilderness, it is no exaggeration to say that there is a threat of death every five steps.

As for the third-level Yin King's Tomb, although Xu Shu has already experimented with a way to lure her to the border in the simulation, he can successfully kill her with the help of the Star Tower's defense mechanism.

Unfortunately, the price is too high and my aunt’s life must be sacrificed.

After considering it for a while, Xu Shu decided that he couldn't do such a cruel and unscrupulous thing.

Although in the journey, he could just play with Gu Yueming and Gu Pan's lives, but in reality, he is still relatively humane.

People must have bottom lines, otherwise, what’s the difference between them and animals?
Therefore, this time when he went out, Xu Shu only selected the "field duo" with the lowest cost, killed them and ran away without any lingering fight.

At this time, the sun was already high in the sky. The three of them set up camp within the border to rest, eat some food and replenish their energy.

There were two white erosion crystals on the ground, each with twelve floc-like spirals slowly rising inside.

This is the result of the morning's battle.

Xu Shu munched on the compressed biscuits without any appetite, thinking with a serious look in his eyes.

There are still two chances left. What should I do next?

Continue to explore the wild and kill lone monsters?

However, including the number of times yesterday, it means that it took three full "expeditions" to safely obtain two erosion crystals.

Even so, I still have to share the spoils with my teammates. This efficiency is really not that high...

Gu Yueming next to him seemed to be thinking about a similar question, his eyes were dull and his brain didn't look very good.

Gu Pan, on the other hand, was full of energy. After complaining that there was no enemy in this vast wilderness who could match his sword, he turned his attention to the spoils in the middle.

She looked at Xu Shu, who seemed to have reached a difficult crossroads in his life, then looked at Gu Yueming, who was in a daze, and cleared her throat to attract their attention.

"Hey! I think the one among the three of us who has made the greatest contribution should eat this crystal! What do you think, Xu Shu?"

Gu Pan said this in a decisive tone and turned his gaze to Xu Shu, signaling him to express his opinion.

"?"

Where did you learn this method of killing someone with a borrowed knife? How sophisticated it is?

Today, the three of us will die because of these two crystals, right?

Xu Shu simply rolled his eyes.

However, Gu Pan's question made Xu Shu make up his mind.

This can't go on like this!
With my current strength, if I continue hunting outside and still maintain the same crystal acquisition speed as before, the upgrade efficiency will be too low.

Today, I can never go back to the good old days when I could happily upgrade to the next level with just a few first-level crystals.

If you want to upgrade the second-level curse, it will consume more resources. The income from playing jungle every day is not enough.

So, after careful consideration, Xu Shu finally decided to change the model to make money.

"Teacher, stop eating and get up to drive," Xu Shu commanded.

"Okay, where are we going next?"

Seeing that Xu Shu seemed accustomed to ordering him around, Gu Pan was not angry at all. Instead, he looked eager to try.

However, Xu Shu shook his head: "No, it's been a long time since I came out, I'm going back to the safe zone. What about you? Do you want to continue practicing outside, or go back with me?"

"Ah, going back?" Gu Pan was stunned for a moment, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

She was not in a very good mood a few days ago, but today she went out for a fight, won a great victory, and became excited.

So when she heard Xu Shu say that they were going to set off again, she already looked towards the north, scanning left and right across the wasteland, looking for a route to travel - she herself didn't even realize that, in some subtle way, she was now able to keep up with Xu Shu's rhythm of 'obtaining resources through fighting'.

But in fact, she can now go back and lie at home and enjoy the official resource subsidies.

Perhaps, for "martial artists", fighting is a better way to promote their advancement and ignite the primitive desires in their hearts.

After a fight in the morning, I feel refreshed.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shu said he wanted to go back at this time.

Gu Pan was not happy.

You obviously like fighting!
What's going on now?

I've just warmed up and you can't do it?

What a disappointment!

Gu Yueming beside him added: "Well, let's go back together. It's time for me to report. The head of the family has urged me several times."

Seeing that his aunt also wanted to return, Gu Pan had no choice but to put away his burning desire to fight and said helplessly: "Okay then."

She was very conscious. She opened the car door, got into the driving seat, and acted as the driver.

Because he was quite resentful, Gu Pan drove very fast this time. It took him only more than three hours to cross half of the wasteland and return to the northern entrance of the safe zone.

Xu Shu had been thinking along the way, weighing the fastest way to make money. When he came to his senses, he saw in front of him the majestic city walls, the towering Star Tower, the long queues of people entering the city, and a very lively "market" on the open flat ground outside the main entrance.

Under the protection of the Star Tower, the safe zone remains the same, stable, peaceful and thriving.

It was the hottest time of the day, and the pedestrians under the sun were like ants, crawling in rows in front of the city wall.

Gu Pan was about to drive straight in, but Xu Shu stopped her and got out of the car alone.

"I have something to do. You guys go back first. I'll visit you next time! No need to see me off. Goodbye, teacher, goodbye, aunt!" Xu Shu was like a good kid. After greeting them one by one, he quickly found a nearby public toilet and dived in.

After taking a long breath, he swept his eyes over the remaining "two times" in the Taichu Volume and clenched his fists heavily.

I have been hunting these past two days, but the returns are too low.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Shu decided to switch from the "hunting" mode to the "survival" mode again!

Through the second draw legendary mode of the Taichu Volume, you can obtain seals to synthesize curse seals.

During the synthesis process, the spell crystals or talismans consumed can be one level lower than the mark itself.

This was "Plan 2" that Xu Shu had planned a long time ago, a reselling model. He would purchase blue or even green talismans, synthesize higher quality spells, and then sell them to earn the difference.

In this way, the efficiency of making money will be greatly improved!

Of course, the prerequisite is that the quality of the extracted horoscope cannot be too poor.

If it is too bad, with only green or even white quality fate, and there is not much room for operation in the legend, it will be very bad. When a green mark is produced, it will be difficult to make a move.

The profit margin in the green curse is very low.

"Anyway, let's give it a try first. If being a businessman is more efficient, I can survive forever!"

Xu Shu poured the Taichu volume firmly into his hand, and disappeared in the rising mist. He did not notice that within a few seconds after he disappeared, two figures sneaked into the simple men's restroom.

It was Gu Pan and Gu Yueming who should have returned to the city earlier.

They all wore peaked caps and covered their faces with black cloth.

"Panpan, this... this is not good, right? This is the men's restroom..." Gu Yueming's somewhat embarrassed voice sounded in the corner.

"Shh, keep your voice down, auntie, do you want to be discovered and then both of us will be ruined?!" Gu Pan was very stern.

"But, but, the smell here is a bit strong..."

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me! Otherwise you will go back alone."

"Oh, I..."

The two men approached quickly, locked the door of the men's restroom, and searched each stall one by one.

When they approached the position where Xu Shu was originally, the expressions on their faces suddenly relaxed at the same time.

Gu Pan rubbed his hands together, revealing an expression of "as expected", "Just as I expected, he really came here and practiced secretly without our knowledge!"

It turned out that as soon as Xu Shu got off the car, Gu Pan followed him quietly.

She had experienced a similar situation last time, so it was a piece of cake for her.

Now, after taking a closer look, his guess was immediately confirmed.

"Huh, you actually want to abandon your teacher and become stronger secretly by yourself?"

Although he had entered the men's restroom, Gu Pan did not feel ashamed at all, and his face was even full of pride.

She closed the window on her own, then slipped into the empty seat on Xu Shu's left and slammed the door shut.

Hearing some rustling sounds coming from inside, which was obviously the sound of someone taking off pants, Gu Yueming blushed.

No, Panpan, you’re too… too…

For the first time, Gu Yueming felt that his cultural level was not high enough, and for a moment he could not find the right words to describe the other person.

Although I had some guesses about what Gu Pan wanted to do before coming here, but actually seeing it with my own eyes is another matter.

She always felt that the "daughter" she raised with her own hands had changed.

I don't even recognize her anymore!
It was an accident last time, so let it go and I can comfort myself.

This time he came to me on his own initiative!
How can this be possible? How can this be possible!

Want to leave?
But... I felt really comfortable after that day, which means there are some benefits... And anyway, the bathroom door here can be closed, so others can't see me in there...

I felt the warmth gradually getting stronger, as if it was burning inside my body, dispelling all the coldness of this winter, and the swelling gradually gathering in my abdomen...

Gu Yueming gritted his teeth again and again.

"Oh, never mind. No one saw it anyway! It's all because this kid's skills are too outrageous~"

Finally, her reason overcame her shame, and she went into the compartment on the other side and carefully locked the door.

Not long after.

Zizzi~
Patter~
The constant flushing sound of the toilet covered up the not-so-loud sound of urination.

The faint scent of gardenia also began to dispel the odor in the toilet.

Everything is going well...

-

D8B3 safe zone.

Xu Shu’s home is in a relatively clean and convenient high-end residential area within 5 kilometers of the Star Tower.

After lunch and a quick nap, Zhou Shiyu packed her bags, put on her clean and simple school uniform, and prepared to leave home for school.

However, as an unlucky senior high school student, Zhou Shiyu is currently experiencing the most boring time in an ordinary person's life.

There are endless test papers, no weekends, and love is a million miles away from us.

Today is another weekend. After enjoying the second half of Saturday and the first half of Sunday, the girl is about to step onto the small cliff before the single-plank bridge where thousands of troops cross.

Looking at the empty room next door, she cleaned up the slightly dusty sheets and walked out with some disappointment.

"Mom, I'm going out~"

While changing her shoes, Zhou Shiyu greeted her mother who was cleaning the kitchen.

There was a slight pause in the kitchen before Li Guoying's slightly hoarse voice was heard: "Okay, be careful on the road. It's getting cold recently. Bring a few more clothes with you so you don't catch a cold."

"Oh, I know."

Zhou Shiyu elegantly stuffed an orange turtleneck sweater into the small suitcase. Before leaving, she saw a pile of paper boxes and square blocks of new spare parts on the sofa and couldn't help but frown.

These things are all "outsourced" products that mother Li Guoying brought back from nearby factories.

You can make it manually at home and deliver it to the factory after completion, and you can get a small processing fee.

Today, her family has moved back from the dilapidated "slums" to the "high-end community" here. Their lives have improved a lot, and they don't have to be as miserable as before.

But Zhou Shiyu discovered that her mother seemed to be in about the same condition as before. In addition to her regular job, she had recently started looking for various jobs to do.

My father has recovered completely since he was discharged from the hospital not long ago, but he found a new job and now often has to work night shifts.

Zhou Shiyu vaguely felt something.

But she shook her head and forced herself not to think about it.

After leaving home, Zhou Shiyu walked towards the elevator, but saw that the door of the neighbor opposite had just opened and a lady walked out.

She was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and wore heavy eye makeup, looking overly glamorous.

This person is naturally Hu Xinrui.

"嘁~"

Dressed like this, are you going to date those rich, social men again?
Zhou Shiyu couldn't help but curl her lips in her heart. She really didn't want to meet the other party too often, so she hurried into the elevator, pressed the first floor button, and then pressed the door closing button frantically.

Unfortunately, Hu Xinrui still walked in before the elevator door closed.

"What a coincidence, are you going on a date again?"

Although Zhou Shiyu didn't like her, after all, they were neighbors and classmates now. As a good girl, of course she had to say hello and ridicule her at the same time.

Unexpectedly, this time, Hu Xinrui did not exaggerate about the various jewelry, perfumes and other things that her "boyfriend" bought for her as she did in the past.

She looked like someone who had insomnia. She nodded listlessly and stared at the mirror in the elevator.

Zhou Shiyu felt slightly surprised, and suddenly felt a little alert.

Is this because the rich guy had enough fun and got dumped?
Is she planning to come back and harm my brother again?

She was lost in thought and rubbed her nose to dispel the overly strong smell of perfume.

At this moment, Zhou Shiyu discovered that Hu Xinrui next to her turned around and stared at her intently. She said in a very dull voice: "Hey, can you imagine that a cat can grow on the body of a mouse? Do you think such a mouse is still a mouse?"

what?
These sudden words completely confused Zhou Shiyu.

What the hell?

Did someone fuck you up?
Isn't this taught in the recent biology experiment course?
Zhou Shiyu felt that the other party was unreasonable and didn't want to say more. When she reached the first floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, she left on her own and hurried to take the ghost tram.

Soon after I came out, I saw a luxurious black car parked there.

There was also a man wearing sunglasses inside. He smiled at me, nodded, and greeted me with a smile: "Hello."

Zhou Shiyu knew that this man was Hu Xinrui's financial sponsor.

However, she didn't want to get to know him.

The gaze from the adult man made her feel uncomfortable, so instead of continuing to be polite, she pretended not to see him and ran away without looking back.
