The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 287 Vanishing Memories (asking for monthly tickets)

There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and the ground is hard.

Xu Shu only had a few second-level crystals left that he could eat raw, about 10 pieces or so.

There are quite a few, but the quality of this batch is slightly worse. 7 of them are the remaining 3-5 grade crystals.
This is what was left after I ate 42 crystals at once, leveled up eight times in one night, and nearly "stuffed myself to death".

In addition, there are 3 crystals left, which are 7 flocs.

Xu Shu's second-order curse seal "Iron Armor" is now level 10. Naturally, the effect is somewhat reduced when it consumes these level or crystals.

Fortunately, the "experience bar" he had accumulated before was slightly in excess, so the amount was made up this time. The two times offset each other, and he was able to reach the requirement for the next level of spell erosion quite smoothly, and there was even a slight surplus.

"Second-order Curse Seal, Level 11. So, I'm level 31 now."

"Ten crystals provide almost the required erosion magic power for level one."

"So, today I have already increased my erosion level by three. My head is aching..."

Looking at the words [Second-level Curse Seal: Iron Armor (Legend) // Level: 11/20] on his underwear, Xu Shu moved his lips slightly and muttered a few words to himself.

This time, I also did not realize the “breakthrough skill” in advance during the upgrade.

However, we are about to reach level 12.

Any curse will have a "big guarantee" effect at level 12, and will definitely allow you to comprehend a skill.

Just one level short, can you handle it?

Xu Shu felt a little itchy, but having learned from his previous experience, he did not dare to take any risks.

"I nearly died yesterday after leveling up 7 times in a row, but luckily I survived! This time I only leveled up 3 times, and I actually feel like I've reached my limit."

"As expected, the erosion level of the curse seal increases. As expected, as time goes on, not only does the amount of cursed power required increase, but the load on the body also increases greatly."

"No wonder they say that the Curse Sealing Technique is dangerous. It turns out it's not groundless!"

Xu Shu washed off the stains on his body, walked to the mirror and observed himself.

The eyes are red, as if bloodshot.

I am a little exhausted mentally, but I haven't reached my real limit yet.

Try your best and reach level 12 immediately?
When you reach level 12, you will have two more breakthrough skills, and your strength will hopefully be greatly improved.

I only leveled up 3 today. If I level up again, it will be very stressful, but I won't die suddenly... Well, I don't think so...

Xu Shu clenched his fists, his blood surged, his brave gaze fell on the light curtain, and he paused for a moment.

It was clearly written on it:

*Contributions: 40
"Forehead……"

"You have to walk one step at a time and eat one bite at a time. As the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"To be on the safe side, take a rest for a night and save some money tomorrow before upgrading again."

Xu Shu put on his clothes, cleaned himself, opened the small green lace storage box, and counted the relics.

His erosion crystals were also used up and he had no money, but he had quite a few "relics", such as the trap props he had just obtained from Song Nanshou.

In addition, there are actually some crystals left.

There are two purple erosion crystals, belonging to my old friend Zhuge Weiwo, one is level two and the other is level three.

——There will be some very strange small rune symbols on the crystals, flowing along with other spells.

It is difficult to understand the fonts of these small symbols, but any extraordinary person can tell at a glance what level of crystal it is.

In this regard, curse crystals, talismans, and even curse seals all have this characteristic, which is very magical.

In addition to two erosion crystals, there are five curse crystals remaining.

Among them, the God-chosen One, Fdivos, and Ji Yu's God-chosen brother, Ji Zhe, each contributed a first-level curse crystal.

There is also a set of "Curse Crystals" from level one to three, which were dropped after the death of Suki Herrera of Fish Head.

By the way, speaking of Yutou Su, Xu Shu couldn't help but think of the fight he had done on her, and also remembered what the beautiful mistress Su Ji said when they separated that day.

She had warned that the local area had been in unrest recently, could she be referring to this "God's Choice" incident?
After all, Su Ji has a curse crystal in her body, so maybe she is also the chosen one of some evil god.

This matter is worth discussing.

Wait, Suki Herrera…

Xu Shu's expression suddenly froze. He felt something was strange, and vaguely felt that Su Ji seemed to have said something that day.

What did she say?

Is there really such a thing?
What is this effect called?

I forgot and can’t remember it right now.

Xu Shu frowned.

Has your memory become so bad?
Shouldn't.

Since becoming a superhuman, Xu Shu feels that his memory has become much better.

Although I am not yet at the level of having a photographic memory, I basically won’t forget important things.

For example, after so long, he can still recall and describe in detail the beautiful curve of the special roujiamo and the smooth texture of the half-chewed bun.

So, have I forgotten anything?
Xu Shu stood frozen in place, carefully recalling what happened that day.

From entering Storm Manor and meeting the "mistress" Su Ji, to deliberately deceiving Fish Head Su and letting them fight to a draw, and himself getting the upper hand, after leaving, he met the great scientist Ji Yang, and then went hunting in the wilderness, but felt that the results were very limited, so he returned to the safe zone.

Everything that happened in the past half month, no matter how big or small, flashed before my eyes.

The mind is clear, the memory is sharp, nothing is missed.

Did I remember it wrong? Actually, I didn't forget anything, but my obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in. It's like I locked the door when I left the house, but halfway through the walk, I started to worry and couldn't remember whether I locked the door or not?

Xu Shu touched his chin, and suddenly, an idea came to him.

By the way, after Suki and I parted ways, I reported the situation to the Archbishop, including the possibility of a cult causing chaos in the Eastern Wasteland, so that they could be prepared in advance.

There is chat records to prove this!

I can't be sure if I missed anything, but the chat records on the upgraded network cannot be wrong!
Xu Shu felt reassured and quickly opened the private chat channel with Yu Mingluan and scrolled through several pages to find the truth.

"I learned about Su Ji's battle for her body on December 12, when she had just been promoted to the second-level Iron Armor. I remember this very clearly!"

"If there is anything missing, it must be on this day!"

Xu Shu flipped through the chat history and quickly located it on December 12. (Note 3)

"My Lord Bishop, I want to report! A cult is preparing to conduct a terrorist ritual in the Eastern Wasteland. The cult involves a sect called the Dark Mother Goddess! Before they could get more information, they blew themselves up and turned to ashes. Bishop, do you know what the Dark Mother Goddess is? I look forward to your answer - Xu Shu, an excellent and outstanding young man who is enthusiastic and kind and cares about the safety of all mankind, is reporting to you. The specific content is as follows..."

——The above is what Xu Shu reported himself at the time.

"Thank you for your letter. The church that worships the Dark Mother Goddess is called the Black Virgin School... I will submit this matter to the top leaders of the Astronomical Society..."

——This part is the Archbishop’s response that day.

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, checked again and again, compared it with his memory, and compared it word by word.

After some checking, I found that it was exactly the same as my memory.

"It seems that there is nothing missing."

Am I overthinking or having obsessive compulsive disorder?

Xu Shu licked his lips.

After a few minutes, he decided to ask just to be on the safe side.

Who to ask?

Of course, it was the only participant in this matter, Yu Mingluan.

"Archbishop! I want to ask you something. Do you have anything to tell me?"

At 2:30 in the morning, Xu Shu once again harassed the archbishop in order to verify something.

After a while, the other party replied with one word.

“Hmm?”——Yu Mingluan.

"That is, do you think I have forgotten something and did not report it to you?" - Gu Pan.

Xu Shu quickly calmed himself down and asked carefully.

"It's difficult for me to answer your question. Maybe you should ask someone else, for example, Xu Shu." - Yu Mingluan.

Ask Xu Shu? Isn't Xu Shu me?

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.

It is indeed a bit funny that my weird question is almost the same as "Guess what I'm going to say next".

But this was not the time to joke. Xu Shu examined his question rigorously and asked again, "I feel like I missed something, Bishop. In addition to the Black Virgin School, did I tell you anything else that day?"

After a few minutes, Yu Mingluan seemed to think seriously and answered, "No."

"Is that so? I'm relieved." Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I'm going to continue tracking down the whereabouts of the Chosen One. Time is running out. Do you have anything else to tell me?" Yu Mingluan sent another message.

Time is running out? Xu Shu was stunned.

The bishop is about to go out to get busy, and he reminded me not to disturb him next time?

It seems that I have communicated with him too much today...

That is Yu Mingluan. If it were someone else, he would definitely be made difficult by his superiors.

Xu Shu apologized secretly. Knowing that Yu Mingluan was busy at the moment, he did not dare to disturb him any further. After thinking for a while, he sent a message: "No more."

"By the way, let me show you something." Yu Mingluan said again.

【Tip: Your friend Yu Mingluan sent you a photo. 】

Xu Shu clicked on it and saw that the photo showed a relatively fresh piece of ruins that had just been built. Judging from the background, it was obviously not in the safe zone, but somewhere else.

The ground was littered with ruins and there were many broken bodies that looked as if they had been torn apart by something. They had one thing in common: both men and women had very well-developed muscles.

There were quite a few people wearing black priest robes and the black and white uniforms of the Judgment Department, cleaning the battlefield.

A middle-aged priest in red clothes walked to the edge of the battlefield, his hair combed straight, facing the camera.

It was Yu Mingluan.

He didn't seem to be used to having his photo taken, so his expression was rather serious.

What is this? Bishop, did you ever tell me that if you stare too hard at the camera while taking a selfie, you'll get a little cross-eyed and dull?

Xu Shufu thought for a moment and was about to reply when he received another message.

"Jiang Tiansheng and Pei Yuyan are both dead, and the Cao Gang is completely destroyed." Yu Mingluan.

The Cao Gang was completely wiped out...

Xu Shu remained silent for a long time.

Not long ago, the bishop told him not to worry and that no remnant of the Cao Gang would be let off.

He really kept his word and killed all the members of the Cao Gang.

It has only been less than five hours!

"By the way, do you have anything else to say to me?" Yu Mingluan asked again.

Xu Shu smiled and replied: "The Archbishop is awesome! May God bless you forever!"

"Okay." - Yu Mingluan replied and ended the call.

Xu Shu felt a little excited as he looked at the scene in the photo which looked like it had been devastated by artillery fire.

When will I be able to kill the helpers on the human list with ease?

Looking out the window, Xu Shu saw the Cao Gang's "headquarters" still blocked. He chuckled and stopped monitoring.

The real base camp has been destroyed, and the remaining people are just a group of marginal guys who are all doing odd jobs. There is no need to continue monitoring here.

There are only two days left, and the God's Chosen Ones are likely to launch a large-scale attack in the safe zone. By then, many people will surely suffer. If they dare to take action, they must have the confidence to fight against the Astronomy Society for a while.

Xu Shu hoped that the archbishop could deal with them.

But no matter what, a blacksmith must be strong himself!
He picked up the bulging snakeskin bag in his hand and walked towards the Star Tower and the trading area.

I can still level up in two days. Even if I calculate based on the limit of three levels a day, I can still improve my strength a little bit more.

Only in this way can we better protect ourselves and our families.

The most urgent task...

It's money.

Only if you have money can you buy enough erosion crystals for upgrading.

and so--

"Price is very important, shopkeeper."

Xu Shu, who currently has 39 contribution points remaining and is wearing a strange horse head mask, looks at the proprietress in front of him seriously and attentively.

This is a shop opened inside the Star Tower, and its name is "Mogong Branch".

The first thing he came to sell this time was the sack of "traps", which were made of extraordinary biological materials, but it was not easy to find a market for them. Xu Shu didn't know any extraordinary people in the hunter path who could use these things.

Asking Mogong to recycle it is naturally the best and most convenient option.

Even a newcomer like Xu Shu knows that Mo Gong is currently the most powerful spell tool manufacturer in the entire "Superhuman Alliance".

There is only one such store in the Star Tower in area D8B3.

"Just these things, is it worth waking me up in the middle of the night? Young man, you don't know the rules, at least you should know how to be gentle with women, otherwise how can you find a wife? Hey, do you have a wife? If not, sister can introduce you to one."

The proprietress was in her forties, but she looked like an eighteen-year-old, still charming, yawning all the time, and speaking with a strong local accent.

She took a magnifying glass that looked very old and examined them one by one. Halfway through her speech, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Press-type earth, fire and gold thunder, 'gecko' clamp, voice-activated pear blossom needle box, venom adhesive made from the gall of a beauty snake, tsk tsk tsk, the quality of these is not, uh, not that good... You are a hunter? No, hunters don't come to sell finished traps and spells. I see, you killed a hunter?"

Trap spell?

Can all these things be considered as spell tools?
Why is the lift drive near me not responding?

What's the point here?
Xu Shu was a little surprised, but he didn't ask too much. He looked at her calmly and said, "Name a price."

The lady boss touched her double chin and said, "Young man, don't think I'm a liar just because I'm young and pretty. I'm actually a real person. To be honest, these things look pretty good. I'll take them and do some processing to make a profit of 1%. But where are you from..."

"Don't worry, I'm a legitimate writer registered with the Astronomical Society!" Xu Shu took out a small badge.

It is published by the Astronomical Society, and there is absolutely no pirated version, and we will not cheat anyone.

The lady boss looked at it and nodded, holding up her fat finger: "Then don't beat around the bush, this is the number."

It's a eight-character horoscope.

Xu Shu frowned: "Too little, add a little."

After all, it was left by a third-level master, and it’s only 800,000. Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

The lady boss said earnestly, "It's really a lot. Go and ask around. This thing is really hard to sell! I'm losing money buying it."

Xu Shu didn't believe it.

Why are you still buying it?

The two haggled over the price for a while, and finally the proprietress relented a little and said, "The maximum is 820 yuan, no more. If you want to increase the price, go ask somewhere else."

Xu Shu's breathing stagnated when he heard this.

Take less?

Not eight hundred thousand.

But it’s not eight hundred and twenty yuan either.

It turns out she was talking about 8.2 million!
Xu Shu was a man who knew when to stop, so he immediately said, "Deal, I don't want cash, just pay with contribution points."

Having said that, he opened his own trading entrance.

The proprietress took out an abacus and calculated a few times. According to the ratio of 750%, she gave Xu Shu points, and happily moved all the traps in the sack into the bag.
"Young man, you are straightforward in what you say and do. Come to me next time if you have business. Don't worry, our shop can handle any business, no matter how big it is!"

So straightforward, it seems that I lost money on the sale, but it shouldn't be much...

Xu Shu nodded and didn't dwell on it any further. He turned around and found a location close to the "transmitting platform". He bought some midnight snacks and sat down to eat while browsing the upgraded network.

He really didn't expect that these traps of Song Nanshou could be sold for so much money.

I originally thought that two million was the maximum, but I didn’t expect it to increase several times.

Song Nanshou, you did a great job, you did a really great job!

Xu Shu looked at the personal interface of [*Contribution: 789] with great satisfaction and said a few nice words to him sincerely.

Originally, he had made up his mind to reluctantly give up a second-level crystal from the Zhuge brothers. Now he doesn't have to be anxious and can take it easy.

They were all so polite and provided a lot of financial assistance. There was nothing much to say, they were all brothers.

Xu Shu found Lao Gang from "Pangu Machinery". They were all old customers, so he got a discount for large quantities. He bought a batch of green-quality second-order erosion crystals, which were just over level 10, for 30 yuan.

This is enough to cover the upgrade costs for the next day, with the remaining 50 points saved for emergencies.

On average, it’s close to 25 points per coin. It’s not that cheap, but considering its grade, the price is still very reasonable.

"Alas, according to previous estimates, I now need to consume about 10 erosion crystals of the same level to level up. On average, it is close to 300 million. It will probably be even more in the future. It's a bottomless pit."

"I haven't had any good gains recently... How about selling the epic curse seal?"

Xu Shu stroked his chin, thinking about it, and took a look at the world channel to find out what big news there was recently.

When I looked at it, it really was there, and it looked very familiar.

[Damn it, who cleared the Boneyard? I was halfway through last night and it was leaked! I am the Young Siming of the Golden Palace, and I am buying the curse seal as a reward for clearing the level at a high price. No matter how much others offer, I will always offer a little more! Message me directly! ]——Girl afraid of the sun, covering the shade with one hand, third-level heavenly master.
