Chapter 66

【Sublimation successful!】

【Fruit of Destiny’s Kiss (Diamond Mid-grade)】

【After consumption, randomly increases the Luck attribute.】

Su Ming stuffed it directly into his mouth.

He swallowed it in one gulp.

After eating it, Su Ming immediately felt his Luck attribute increase.

He took another look.

【Luck: 130】

The Luck attribute had reached a value of 130!

The increase was significant.

Su Ming was very satisfied.

He took out the random Platinum-grade skill scroll and used Sublimation of All Things on it.

【Sublimation successful!】

【Soul-Severing Scythe (Platinum High-grade skill scroll)】

【Usable only by classes with Soul Power; can channel Soul Power into the scythe to strike down enemies and directly damage their life-soul.】

"Hmm... this isn't a skill for my class."

"I'll find a chance to give it to Ji Yao."

Su Ming rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment.

This skill did not restrict specific classes; as long as the class could channel Soul Power, they could learn it.

For example, Jiang Yunqing’s Soul Healer.

Or Ji Yao’s Undead Summoner; they could both learn this skill.

However, Ji Yao was the one who primarily used a scythe, so this scroll was clearly better suited for her.

【Skill: Continuous Rain Sword (Silver Mid-grade) proficiency increased, skill advanced!】

At this moment, a voice rang out in his mind.

【Gale and Rainstorm Sword (Silver High-grade)】

【Proficiency: 2000/3000】

【Drifting like a phoenix, continuous like a rainstorm, the sword momentum is like a wave!】

It wasn't far from becoming a Gold-grade sword technique.

Su Ming’s other skills were basically all Gold-grade or higher.

Only this skill was still Silver.

But it would break through soon as well.

At this time, Su Ming suddenly noticed that someone had sent him an email message on his personal profile panel.

He immediately opened it to take a look.

Upon seeing it, his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

This message was actually sent by Jiang Yongli, the chairman of the Jiang’an Consortium.

Transcenders could communicate remotely and send items remotely.

Su Ming had long heard of Jiang Yongli’s famous name.

The chairman of the Jiang’an Consortium, the largest conglomerate in Zhongchuan Province.

"Jiang Yunqing’s father?"

Su Ming frowned slightly.

Why would he send him a message?

Could it be that he was about to stage a "Here is 1 million, leave my daughter" scene?

The corners of Su Ming’s mouth curled up.

He felt his own unrealistic thoughts were somewhat ridiculous.

Such things only happened in manga and novels.

Which high-level conglomerate executive in reality wasn't a shrewd person?

It was impossible for them to use such a blunt method.

Moreover, he had saved Jiang Yunqing’s life, so surely she wouldn't say anything bad about him in front of her father.

Su Ming clicked on the message directly.

He had never had any thoughts about Jiang Yunqing, so no matter what message her father sent, he could handle it.

Su Ming took one look, and his eyes immediately sharpened.

It read:

"Student Su Ming, hello."

"I am Jiang Yunqing’s father, Jiang Yongli."

Attached was an image of his personal business card.

"I heard from my daughter that you saved her life in the dungeon."

"Therefore, I offer a small gift; I hope you will accept it."

"I also ask that Student Su continue to look after my daughter in the future."

"I am deeply grateful."

In the field below the letter, there was a gift.

Su Ming tapped it, and it was immediately stored in his personal space.

This item was a skill scroll.

It was inlaid with a circle of gem-like patterns on the outside.

It was actually a Diamond-grade skill scroll!

A Diamond-grade skill scroll generally had a market value ranging from 8 million to tens of millions of Arrival Coins.

It was such a heavyweight gift.

Su Ming was somewhat surprised.

And what surprised him even more was Chairman Jiang’s extremely polite tone.

It couldn't even be called polite; it was almost servile.

In the letter, he referred to himself as "this humble one."

A chairman of a major conglomerate, a man with a pivotal position in the Dragon Kingdom’s business world.

Was actually being so humble toward a young student like him.

It was truly extremely strange.

And this gift was also truly too heavyweight.

Diamond-grade.

Even if he had saved his daughter’s life, it was still a bit too precious.

The language in his letter even had a hint of entrusting a final wish.

Su Ming’s expression was solemn; he pondered for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wait, Jiang’an Consortium, Jiang Yongli..."

"I remember now, in my past life, Jiang Yongli died..."

"It seems it was just a few months later."

In his past life, Su Ming didn't know Jiang Yunqing at all and had no connection to the Jiang’an Consortium.

So he didn't know much about these business matters.

It was just a small detail he had heard by chance, buried in the deepest part of his memory.

It was difficult for him to recall it now.

After Jiang Yongli died, the Jiang’an Consortium still stood, but the person in charge had changed.

"Looking at his letter, it feels like he is entrusting his daughter to me before his death. Does he already know he is going to die?"

"Does he hope that after he dies, I can look after his daughter?"

"That’s why he sent such a precious gift, hoping to plant a seed of gratitude in my heart."

Su Ming pondered the meaning behind his words.

In the business world, internal strife is bloody and cruel; assassinations, framing, and slander are endless.

For money, humans will exhaust every means.

Perhaps Jiang Yongli had already foreseen that his time was running out.

It seems the Jiang’an Consortium is deeply trapped in some kind of vortex.

He sent such a precious gift to leave a way out for his daughter’s future!

At the same time, Su Ming felt a sense of heaviness.

Although he saw some clues, his current strength was too low to intervene.

"I should take care of myself first..."

He muttered.

He sublimated the Diamond skill scroll.

【Sublimation successful!】

【Drunken Sword Stance (Diamond High-grade)】

【Drink to the present while there is wine, the cold light of the sword is pure.】

【After you are drunk, you enter the Drunken Sword Stance; all sword techniques have a chance to add a Sword Qi effect!】

Su Ming’s eyes sharpened.

It was actually Diamond High-grade!

And it was a stance skill.

It could be activated once drunk.

Sword Qi was an extremely powerful additional effect in sword techniques.

It usually required very late-game skills to add Sword Qi.

And this skill allowed all sword skills to have a Sword Qi effect!

He learned it immediately.

Afterward, he bought a lot of fine aged wine in the Arrival Coin shop.

He stored it in his personal space.

When needed, he could take it out to drink and coordinate entering the Drunken Sword Stance.

Subsequently, Su Ming practiced his new skill in the training room at the inn.

The training room was a virtual space provided for people to practice skills.

In the center of the room was a wooden dummy.

He got drunk and entered the Drunken Sword Stance.

Immediately, his posture while holding the sword became somewhat unsteady.

But his sword technique became increasingly sharp.

Swish! Swish!

He activated the Gale and Rainstorm Sword.

Pale white Sword Qi flowed and flew out in a long-range slash.

It directly slashed the dummy into shreds.

Soon, the dummy healed as before.

"Very good... with this Drunken Sword Stance, my combat power has greatly increased again."

Su Ming was in a great mood.
