Chapter 146

"I know... it's time for me to grow up too!"

In her eyes, a radiance of longing for strength flickered.

She had killed the corpse inside the giant snake's molted skin; although she received no rewards or experience, she had been brave for once.

To her, this was the most precious loot of all.

If there is a first time, there will be a second!

Su Ming bought two bottles of healing potion and poured them over her hands.

Soon, the wounds began to heal.

Then, Su Ming began to organize his loot.

Su Ming put all of that man's equipment up for auction.

After all, it was a saber, and he wasn't used to using one.

Everything added together could sell for about several hundred thousand Arrival Coins.

"How could this person have so many good things?"

"Wealthy... too wealthy..."

"It's truly bizarre."

Su Ming's gaze was solemn.

What Su Ming found most strange was that this black-robed man actually had one hundred thousand Myriad Race Coins.

This number was even higher than his own.

Myriad Race Coins are the only currency that can be used to purchase items in the Myriad World Shop.

Their priority is higher than the Arrival Coins used within the human race.

Moreover, it is the only currency common to all the myriad races.

That is to say, half-orcs, orcs, elves, and other races also use Myriad Race Coins as currency!

This person actually had one hundred thousand!

It was truly a bit terrifying...

"How could a level 20 person have so much property?"

Su Ming felt somewhat strange.

Subsequently, Su Ming tapped on the man's Heavenly Tower Society token.

A virtual screen list unfolded.

It didn't matter if Su Ming didn't look, but one glance left him startled.

This man's Heavenly Tower Society token had dozens of completed historical missions!

The list was dense and packed.

They were basically all low-tier F, E, and D-grade missions.

A person in their twenties able to complete dozens of missions?

This was simply inconceivable.

Afterward, Su Ming found a notebook among his personal items.

This man had a habit of keeping a diary?

Su Ming immediately judged that this person was not a decent individual.

Decent people don't keep diaries!

Opening the diary, Su Ming finally understood.

It turned out this wasn't a diary at all.

It was a criminal record book.

Every page clearly recorded his target objects.

【January, some year: Target 19-year-old student, profession Heavy Sword Gladiator; the Heavenly Tower Society mission he accepted was to kill a poisoned newborn-grade vampire in the wilderness, extremely suitable for an ambush.】

【Postscript: Success】

【December, some year: Target 21-year-old class-changer; his mission was to kill a mutated giant mosquito in the wilderness, mission reward 4,000 Myriad Race Coins.】

【Postscript: Success】

【June this year: Target 18-year-old student, Su Ming, key observation object, ten-star talent Sword Master; when a lone wolf accepts a D-grade mission alone, the location happens to be in the wilderness, extremely suitable for an ambush!】

【...】

Su Ming's gaze was solemn.

It turned out this black-robed man, Ding Pan, was a criminal who went around killing people and intercepting their gains.

He would observe those low-realm Heavenly Tower Society members and tail them as they completed their missions.

Then, at the final moment when they were fighting the monsters, he would emerge to kill both the person and the monster.

He would seize the supplies and complete the mission at the same time.

A typical act of reaping the benefits of a fisherman.

To a certain extent, this guy was a criminal genius.

With this kind of mindset, it was no wonder he had so many supplies and assets.

Su Ming had originally thought he was the fourth assassin sent by Zhang Tang.

Now it seemed that wasn't the case.

This guy had no connection to the Zhang family.

He was just a murderer who went around killing people and intercepting mission rewards.

He himself just had bad luck and was targeted by him.

"He has killed so many people; the Heavenly Tower Society and the country must have already noticed him."

"This guy might already be wanted."

Su Ming carefully put away his token.

If this person was truly a wanted criminal, then by using his token, he could claim the bounty reward.

The reward for killing this person might be even more generous than the mission reward for killing the giant snake.

It could be considered an extra harvest.

Su Ming incidentally equipped one of the man's items, the Keenness Ring.

It could enhance a person's five senses and strengthen their perception of combat.

Humans have ten fingers, so theoretically, one could wear ten rings at once.

But doing so would extremely affect the feel of gripping a sword.

So Su Ming wouldn't wear too many.

He took off the ring that added 5 points of strength and put it up for auction.

This bit of attribute was better than nothing for him, and this ring could sell for some money.

Subsequently, Su Ming opened the lottery roulette.

Now his Origin Sword Body's power had reached 20 times.

His strength had already undergone a qualitative change.

After another round of drawing, his strength would climb to a new level once again.

【Drawing in progress...】

The golden pointer rotated continuously.

Finally, it stalled on an epic-grade slot.

【Millennium Purple Vein Lingzhi (Top-tier Shi Shi)】

【After consumption, randomly increases all body attributes】

Su Ming's eyes were filled with shock.

Millennium Purple Vein Lingzhi!

It could increase all body attributes, and the value wouldn't be small.

The increased attributes would be permanent!

It could be called a top-spec version of the Marrow-Strengthening Pill.

The Marrow-Strengthening Pill could also enhance attributes, but it was only a gold-quality pill.

Why?

The weak effect was one aspect. ### CHAPTER 148
