Chapter 3040
Inside the hotel on Gem Street.
Su Xiao glanced at the pocket watch hanging on the head of the bed. Calculating the time, Bishop Noah should be arriving soon.
"Boss, Bishop Noah is here. Are you seeing him?"
Baha flew over, laughing unconscionably. Previously, the Kodo School's flashy operations could be described as eating everything and wiping it clean, not sharing a bit with their side, as if they had forgotten who had temporarily suppressed the Old God and sealed the spread of corruption.
Su Xiao's finger tapped on the 'Death Match Terminal', pausing the puzzle game. Besides not being able to play death match games, this thing could play any other game. That game company had really run away, even issuing a server shutdown announcement.
The headquarters of that game company was blown flat, and a photo was attached to the server shutdown announcement. This was the most hardcore server shutdown announcement Su Xiao had ever seen, and the reason was sufficient enough.
"Bishop Noah? A very familiar title."
Su Xiao put away the Death Match Terminal. He knew that a large amount of resources was about to be obtained.
"Uh~, Boss, they are listening over there. Is that good?"
Baha's laugh was even more unconscionable. At the same time, outside the hotel door, Bishop Noah, standing on the street, had his old face twitch. The way they had eaten just now was indeed ugly.
"Noah, I know you can hear me. Don't be hypocritical there; come upstairs and see me."
Not long after Su Xiao finished speaking, Bishop Noah walked into the room, his old face beaming with an eager smile.
"Bai Ye, there was a problem with the castle's array, which is a big deal. By the way, your two old friends have returned, Merlos, Marcia, don't stand at the door."
After Bishop Noah finished speaking, Merlos and his wife walked into the room. A very faint smell of blood came over, and both of their faces were pale, and they both had injuries on their bodies. It had to be said that the fact that these two could live until now meant they were both very capable people.
"They were both originally members of the Kodo School. The 'misunderstanding' from decades ago caused them both to be treated unfairly."
Bishop Noah looked sideways at Merlos. Merlos closed his eyes and didn't look at Bishop Noah. When they were with the Great Sage, they were cleared out of the Kodo School, which was deserved. Moreover, Bishop Noah was the guide who led them into the Kodo School. Meeting now, their moods were particularly complicated.
"The position of Gem Street manager has always been vacant. Merlos, Marcia, if you are willing, come back and manage Gem Street."
"I refu..."
Merlos's words were halfway through when he received a punch from Marcia in the lower back. She said: "We agree."
"That's good. From now on, this place will be handed over to you. The Great Sage's beasts won't dare to come to Gem Street to find trouble with you. Merlos, you are only a few years younger than me; you should enjoy your old age."
Bishop Noah waved his hand, signaling that Merlos and his wife could leave.
"Bai Ye, I don't know if they count as your friends, but... you have cooperated, right."
Bishop Noah's meaning was very clear. Settling Merlos and his wife was the sincerity he brought. Among all the sincerity, it was the most insignificant appetizer.
"So?"
Su Xiao smiled. The benefit of working with an old schemer was that he didn't need to say too much, and the other party knew what they should pay.
"So, shall we talk?"
"Sure."
Su Xiao took out a black stone and tossed it. Seeing this black stone, Bishop Noah knew why the castle's array had failed. Many such black stones were embedded in the array, and now one was missing.
"I have seen your sincerity. Take it away."
Su Xiao tossed the black stone in his hand. After Bishop Noah caught it, his expression was slightly dumbfounded. He glanced at the black stone in his hand and then looked at Su Xiao. This was... too simple.
Bishop Noah asked tentatively: "Just returning this black stone to its original position is enough?"
"Of course."
"Heh, Bai Ye, we both know what kind of people we are. No need to do this. Just say it directly: what do you want."
Bishop Noah tossed the black stone in his hand back to Su Xiao. Would this matter be so simple? Bishop Noah didn't believe it.
"Since you insist on giving, then I won't be polite. Extraordinary resources."
"Good, come with me."
Bishop Noah got up and left. He had even brought the key to the material warehouse.
Under Bishop Noah's guidance, Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha left Gem Street and arrived at the Kodo School headquarters.
Taking the elevator, Su Xiao arrived at the fourth basement level of the Kodo School headquarters. This was the resource warehouse.
"Bai Ye, whatever you want, just speak up."
Bishop Noah was very generous. Since it had already reached this point, being generous was always right.
"You said that?"
"Hmm, I said that."
"Then I want everything."
"The moon today is really round."
Bishop Noah, as an old schemer, suddenly gave up thinking. It was too heartbreaking. He would rather have his brain removed now.
Su Xiao wasn't joking. He was indeed prepared to want everything. Since he had opened his mouth, he couldn't let the Kodo School be 'disappointed'.
Amu stepped forward with two large bags. Seeing these large bags, Bishop Noah felt that this thing was very familiar. In a flash, he remembered that this thing had contained him before.
Ten minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was carrying two large leather bags, Baha was grabbing two, and Amu had one on each shoulder, and was also carrying one in each hand.
Under Bishop Noah's numb expression, the group got on the elevator. With a 'clank', the elevator paused; it was overloaded.
"Bishop Noah, you go down; it's overloaded."
Baha's words made Bishop Noah smile.
"Yeah, it's overloaded."
Bishop Noah got off the elevator and watched Su Xiao and the others leave.
Carrying a large amount of extraordinary materials, Su Xiao was stopped just as he reached the door. Several messengers were full of vigilance in their eyes. They all suspected that Su Xiao had come to the Kodo School to rob.
"What are you doing! Let my guests pass!"
Bishop Noah walked out of the elevator. Although he really wanted to shout angrily, stop those robbers, he couldn't.
Traveling all the way, Su Xiao returned to Gem Street. After putting the few large cloth bags in the hotel, he walked toward the suburbs with Bishop Noah.
When Su Xiao arrived at the castle, he found that hundreds of Kodo School people were already guarding this place. The surrounding ten-plus kilometers were all blocked, and sensing stones were buried deep underground.
Accompanied by Bishop Noah, Su Xiao walked into the second floor of the castle. The 'little monster wood carving' at the center of the array was still in its original appearance.
Su Xiao took out the black stone and pressed it onto node 029 of the array. With a 'click', the array was restored, and the surrounding corruption power dissipated rapidly.
"This is... enough?"
Bishop Noah suddenly remembered that Su Xiao had tossed that black stone to him before. In other words, if he had brought this black stone before, he could have let the array be restored?
Seeing Bishop Noah's expression that was about to twist, Su Xiao frowned. In fact, it was enough like this right now, but there could also be more processes, after all, he had taken a lot of resources.
"Of course not, the array is not stable enough."
Su Xiao had just pressed the black stone, which seemed simple, but in fact, this was based on his understanding of alchemy. If it were someone else, half of their body would have been instantly shattered by the Old God energy.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
Bishop Noah felt much relieved in his heart. However, Su Xiao just sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao opened his eyes and said: "It's okay now."
"You..."
Bishop Noah was not stupid, of course he knew what Su Xiao had just done. If he were not an extraordinary being, he would have had a cerebral hemorrhage by now.
"Good, so perfunctory."
A female messenger muttered in a low voice. Bishop Noah turned his head and glared angrily, scaring the female messenger into shrinking her head.
Su Xiao got up and walked out. He was going back to count how many benefits he had gained this time.
"By the way, Noah, there is one thing I need to remind you."
"Speak."
Bishop Noah had already calmed his state of mind. What kind of big waves hadn't he experienced? The current situation was just a small matter. Besides the severe heartache, he felt nothing else at all, but his old problem was acting up a bit.
"This array needs regular maintenance, and the cost is very high."
"How often does it need maintenance?"
Bishop Noah took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom while speaking, poured out a pill, and tossed it into his mouth.
"Maintenance once an hour."
"?"
Bishop Noah poured a few more pills from the small porcelain bottle and tossed them into his mouth.
"It can also be once a day."
"Then... let's do it once a day."
Bishop Noah, while speaking, raised the small porcelain bottle to his mouth and poured all the pills inside into his mouth. His heart had been shattered when he was young, and now that he had been stimulated, he had to increase the dosage.
