Chapter 2996: Double the Happiness

Su Xiao raised his left arm and looked at the temporary brand on his upper arm. He had this thing as soon as he entered the Dark Star world. It was also because of this thing that he had the brand fluctuation of the Apocalypse Paradise side. Otherwise, he wouldn't appear in front of any Apocalypse Paradise contractor.

Now this temporary brand's functions were more perfect. He could even enter the World Contact Platform and could also formulate contracts for the Apocalypse Paradise side.

This was very interesting. Apocalypse Paradise contractors didn't dare to sign contracts from the Reincarnation Paradise side, but what if they were contracts from their own side? The answer was, as long as one observed carefully, they still dared to sign.

The World Contact Platform was also very important. Su Xiao could know the general movements of enemy contractors through the information inside.

This wasn't urgent for now. Su Xiao had to finish seizing the minerals first.

"Big brother, we don't have much combat power, no need for you to do it, just..."

Before Prince could finish his words, 【Sin-Falling Heaven Legacy】 appeared in front of him. With a dull thud, he was swung at. The procedure still had to be followed.

Bang~, bang~, bang~

After a burst of wailing, the three miners were already squatting on the ground. Miner girl Belle sniffed her bloody nose, her expression aggrieved.

Su Xiao pinched Prince's neck with one hand and let go after a moment. Prince didn't notice a blue mark flash on his shoulder.

Su Xiao now had the identity of a temporary Apocalypse Paradise contractor, so the plan changed. Assuming he only seized the minerals and then turned and left, letting this mining team called "Heaven Squad" continue to dig for minerals, and then find them again after they had raised them to a certain level—wouldn't the double gains be double the happiness?

Coming to the Dark Star world, Su Xiao wasn't here to kill contractors, but to obtain more gains.

"Minerals."

Su Xiao smashed a club onto the alloy box; the middle section of the alloy box was flattened, and both ends curled upward.

"Taking them, taking them."

Prince gave a look to Belle, Old Fish, and Black-Faced Man. The four of them took out pieces of minerals and put them all into a metal box. Before long, there were more than a hundred.

"Only these. Light Silver Ore is a Saint-Spirit level mineral, and the mining difficulty is very high. There really are only these."

Prince wished he could open his storage space and show Su Xiao.

"Yes, yes, yes, just these."

Belle spoke timidly. After looking at Su Xiao, she immediately turned her head away. That was what kind of gaze—the killing intent that was almost staring, calm and penetrating.

"Young man, don't be impulsive. Killing us miners has a gain decay penalty."

Old Fish spoke earnestly and shut up after being looked at by Su Xiao.

Su Xiao collected the mineral box, and a hint appeared.

【You have obtained Light Silver Ore x165 pieces (Saint-Spirit level).】

165 pieces of Light Silver Ore, each piece's weight was cut or fused according to the standard unit. This was the habit of miners. Lide collected this thing all year round, 46 Soul Coins per piece. If it were 165 pieces, 7,590 Soul Coins would be in hand!

At this moment, Su Xiao had a new understanding of the wealth of miners. These few were all Eighth-Tier miners, strength ignored, at least the brand tier was Eighth Tier.

"Soul Coins."

Su Xiao spoke again. Hearing this plan, Prince sent a trade request.

【Evaluating...】

【Temporary brand has been perfected. This trade will not bring risks.】

【You have obtained 1,652 Soul Coins.】

The Soul Coins obtained weren't many. The total gain this time was 9,242 Soul Coins, which was more than what Su Xiao had fought for in a world when he was in the Seventh Tier.

"Big brother, you won't really kill us, right? No need."

Prince blocked in front of Belle as he spoke. He was worried that the enemy would go beastly, and then they would be too miserable.

"You guys."

Su Xiao looked around at the four people.

"Yes, yes, yes, you say."

Prince felt that this time it was over. The enemy was too greedy and wanted to seize their high-quality mineral shovels and equipment.

"Don't court death."

"Eh?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the four people of the Heaven Squad were completely confused. They all wanted to roar: "Big brother, we have never courted death. You found us yourself, beat the bodyguard we hired to death, and then beat us up. Thank you for your concern."

Su Xiao shook the blood off 【Sin-Falling Heaven Legacy】 and walked toward the exit, soon disappearing from the sight of Prince and the other four.

"Encountered the most ruthless kind of contractor. Only a bit worse than those lunatics in the Reincarnation Paradise."

"Not that exaggerated. I watched the battle recording last time. Those lunatics playing with their lives is daily routine, half their heads were cut off, and they were still laughing on their faces."

"Heavy losses."

"It's alright, at least that big brother didn't rob our equipment."

"That~, Red Gold's reward for today is saved."

Belle's words drew the gazes of the other three. They only then discovered that Belle's brain circuit was so unique.

"Prince, what should we do next? Retreat?"

"Don't retreat. Hire a stronger bodyguard. The surroundings are the Lost Withered Forest. It's very dangerous to return to the surface now. Wait for the new bodyguard to arrive before making plans."

Prince showed a very sunny smile. He knew his combat talent very well. Moreover, fighting wasn't as happy as digging for minerals.

Before long, the four miners were busy again. While waiting for people to come, they dug for minerals by the way.

Su Xiao leaned against the entrance. The Heaven Squad didn't intend to retreat. He was a bit hesitant, whether to block for a while, but thinking that he had left a mark, he turned and left.

Returning to the surface, Su Xiao headed straight for the Lost Withered Forest. After arriving at the Lost Withered Forest, he found that the rune stones on the ground had dimmed a lot and no longer emitted seven-colored light.

This was good. When the rune stones failed, outsiders couldn't reach Pale Town.

Passing through the Lost Withered Forest, Pale Town presented itself before Su Xiao's eyes. He walked into a half-collapsed building, sat on a wall stone, activated the World Contact Platform, and prepared to get a temporary "new vest."

【You have activated the World Contact Platform. Please formulate a code name or name.】

Su Xiao pondered for a moment and formulated "Hunter" as the code name.

【Code name formulation complete. World Contact Platform opened. You can speak freely.】

Poliu (Solo): "Recruiting temporary partners. Location: Old Royal Capital."

Little White Shark (Alliance Adventure Squad): "Guarding the mine, bored to death,"

Magic Hand (Integrity Chamber of Commerce): "Acquiring all qualities and types of minerals, selling resource mining consumables, selling recovery potions, selling..."

Haigini (Solo): "Main mission already completed, 12 days of stay time remaining. Looking for mining squads, daily fee 350 Soul Coins, squads with stable output prioritized."

Prince (Heaven Squad): "Brother, how is your combat power? I was just robbed once, robbed by a masked man, that person... is as fierce as a beast."

Morey (Battle Angel): "Robbed? 6,000 Soul Coins, help you take revenge, combat permission blessing in progress, steady, beat the masked man down in minutes."

Little White Shark (Alliance Adventure Squad): "A Battle Angel with blessed combat permission? You were entrusted with a great task?"

Morey (Battle Angel): "Hey~, just reached the Eighth Tier and got blessed with combat permission, not any great task, just avoiding the Holy Light Paradise side from seizing the resources of the mining squad."

Prince (Heaven Squad): "Thanks to Big Sister Morey, temporarily not needed. Haigini, are you interested in accepting my employment?"

Haigini (Solo): "Yes."

Prince (Heaven Squad): "Deal, brand contact. Prior statement: when we were robbed just now, Red Gold died."

Haigini (Solo): "Red Gold, hehe, I am a magic type."

Hao Mei (Fengtian Guild): "Hire me, 900 Soul Coins a day, I can beat three Haiginis, eight Red Golds."

Haigini (Solo): "..."

Prince (Heaven Squad): "Can't afford to hire."

Su Xiao closed the World Contact Platform. The Heaven Squad was hiring a new "bodyguard" and chose a magic type. This was very easy to handle.

Not to mention a magic type that was a bit stronger than Red Gold, even if it were a magic type at the top tier of the Eighth Tier, Su Xiao could beat the other party until they couldn't find north.

From the current situation, the Heaven Squad side could be raised for a period of time. ===== CHAPTER 2997 =====
