Chapter 2028
Su Xiao's harvest from this mission was rich. Not to mention the golden skill points and skill scrolls, he also obtained 5 scarlet cards this time, one of which was dropped by a Battle Angel, with a quality of ★★★★★.
To activate the final link of the promotion mission, Su Xiao first had to arrive at Shelter No. 9. According to the previous hint, Shelter No. 9 should be nearby.
Baham spread its wings and flew into the high sky, starting to scout in the nearby area. After searching for two hours, Baham found a large slum.
"Those are all temporary buildings, they don't look like shelters at all."
Baham landed on Amu's shoulder, still holding a nut in its mouth.
"It should be that one."
Su Xiao's face showed a thoughtful look, and he began to ponder the subsequent plan.
First, the subsequent mission was the World Core. This point was basically stable. As for how to obtain it, this was a difficulty.
This world belonged to Apocalypse Paradise, so the "core" of this world would also have the brand of Apocalypse Paradise. In this case, the difficulty of plundering was extremely high.
And Apocalypse Paradise's previous behavior of summoning contractors was tantamount to revealing one thing: the core of this world could be plundered. Perhaps this was also the reason why Reincarnation Paradise chose to invade this world.
At present, the mission had to arrive at Shelter No. 9 to trigger, which meant that the World Core was unlikely to be inside Shelter No. 9.
It was more likely that Shelter No. 9 had intelligence about the World Core. The World Core—each Paradise might not be able to detect its detailed location.
Otherwise, during the world contention battle, there would be no need to send contractors to search. Directly locking the location and then teleporting contractors from both sides to have a melee would decide the winner.
In other words, Su Xiao entering Shelter No. 9 this time was highly likely to obtain some intelligence or find items related to the World Core.
Thoughts in Su Xiao's mind turned rapidly. If it were Tier 1, he wouldn't think of these things at all, and it was more likely that he would just rush into Shelter No. 9.
The best method now was not to show combat power to gain trust in Shelter No. 9. That was very difficult. Not to mention the personality of the leader of Shelter No. 9, no one would trust an outsider who appeared suddenly and had strong strength.
Since he couldn't gain trust through strength to find the required items, Su Xiao prepared to use alchemy.
There were human transcendents in this world, and combat-type machinery was developed, and firearms were likely not weak.
Dealing with transcendents, nothing was more suitable than "Plant Harmonization," because no one could refuse to become strong themselves.
Saint Flame Pharmacist—this was a name Su Xiao had been operating in Reincarnation Paradise for a long time. He originally prepared to use this name to sell permanent buff potions after arriving in the Void, and now taking it out to experiment was also a good choice.
Su Xiao put the Dragon Flash, Black King Armguard, Scarlet Angel, and other equipment into the storage space and took out a white robe. There was a golden flame pattern on the back of this robe, the lining was red, white was for redemption, golden was for holy medicine, and the red lining was for the cruelty during the experimental potion process.
At least in the Void, 90% of pharmacists were dressed similarly, only the patterns on the back of the clothes were different. Golden patterns were for positive buffs and healing, green patterns were for poison pharmacists, black was for combat-type pharmacists—12 colors represented different specialties.
More than 80% of the races in the Void were in a welcoming state for pharmacists, and the remaining majority were friendly and neutral. Only less than 3% of the races were repulsive to pharmacists, but at most they were just a bit looked down upon, not reaching the level of hatred.
As for disguising as a pharmacist, as long as a person with a normal brain wouldn't do that. Without corresponding abilities, disguising as a pharmacist would be very miserable.
Su Xiao pulled up the hood and put it on his head. Now his blood energy was covered by Reincarnation Paradise, and his charm attribute was also gradually improving due to the title. It would reach 50 points in two days.
Everything was ready, and Su Xiao walked toward the slum Baham mentioned. After walking a few steps, he stopped.
"Baham, Amu, you guys act freely in the nearby area for now."
A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. He was adjusting his state. If Apocalypse Paradise contractors were present, they would definitely be full of astonishment, and the thought in their minds would be: who is this? Is this the monster that just slashed us to the point of losing our way?
"I knew it."
Baham was muttering something. Clearly, Amu and Baham were temporarily incompatible with the pharmacist's temperament, and their strength would be feared.
As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, it was completely fine. On the contrary, it could also add points to the identity of Saint Flame Pharmacist.
The journey was always boring, and bringing a dog was the best choice.
"Woof."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at Baham and Amu with a cheap smile, which meant that its charm was high and it could really do whatever it wanted.
"Brother Ha is ruthless."
Baham used its wings to make a thumbs-up shape.
"Then Boss, Amu and I will be nearby. If an accident happens, I can arrive at the first time, Amu might be a little slower."
"No problem."
"Hmm, with me here, Amu will be fine."
Baham slapped a lacewing on its head, indicating that its team with Amu would not have any problems.
Su Xiao tried to contact Benny, but there was no signal. This was normal. That cat-star person was used to being free, and by now, it didn't know where it had run.
Bringing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Su Xiao moved closer to the slum direction.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao walked out of the wasteland and arrived in a field. This place was clearly carefully managed, and solanaceous plants were planted—potatoes, tomatoes, etc., were all solanaceous.
Su Xiao grabbed a handful of soil. According to his observation, this field had been cultivated for many years, which meant that Shelter No. 9 had started farming many years ago.
The area of the field was quite large. In this world, with this kind of food supply, they wouldn't live in a slum at all.
A faint stench drifted in the air. This was the smell of herbivore feces, not pungent. This smell made Su Xiao immediately think of a farm.
Su Xiao continued to move forward. Sure enough, not long after walking, he saw a wooden fence, inside which a large livestock resembling a cow was kept.
"Don't move, if you don't want your head to blossom."
A hoarse male voice came from behind Su Xiao. In this barbaric and rich continent, this kind of field and farm would of course be guarded.
The five fingers under Su Xiao's cuff moved. Just a moment ago, he was only a little bit away from tearing off the head of the person behind him. The other party's appearance was really somewhat sudden.
"Your clothes... don't look like a refugee. Turn around, move slowly."
The hoarse man stepped back slowly. One of his eyes was narrowed, and there was yellow pus at the corner of his eye. Clearly, he had an old injury. In this continent, injury and illness could only depend on luck. After all, most doctors were not reliable.
Su Xiao turned his head to look behind him and slowly turned around.
"We don't have food for you here, leave immediately."
The hoarse man held a simple firearm, but don't underestimate this metal gun. It was a genuine energy gun—primitive, simple, but advanced. Very contradictory.
"I don't need food, I temporarily... need a place to stay."
Clearly, the forces of Shelter No. 9 were different from the Fire Skull Gang of Shelter No. 17; this place was relatively xenophobic.
