Chapter 3201: Closer Again

~12 min read 2,212 words

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't participate in a gambling game that he was bound to lose, and he didn't even want to touch the Abyss Jar, not wanting to have anything to do with this thing.

Judging from Wood's performance just now, this thing was a big pit. As the harvest of the Devil Tribe opening the Abyss passage, if it were a treasure, would the Devil Tribe let Wood carry it with him? Absolutely impossible.

This thing had nine times out of ten been harming the Devil Tribe for a long time. Wood brought this thing this time just to try if there was a chance to give it to someone or throw it away. Now the other party had succeeded.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao avoided the Abyss Jar even more. Something that had harmed the Devil Tribe for hundreds of years and they had no way to deal with, and he had a way to deal with it? Turning danger into opportunity? Afraid he wasn't awake. In Su Xiao's view, if he obtained the Abyss Jar, even if he didn't cool down completely, it wouldn't be much better.

The gambling game continued. Although the skeleton won the Abyss Jar, it calmly put it away, accepting this fact simply. It was a pure gambler, and it had lost too much for this, including its loved ones, comrades who shared weal and woe, its own body, two-thirds of its soul...

So, the skeleton was already numb, numb to losing.

The second round of the gambling game began. This round was 3 【Scroll Fragments】. Not only did Wood participate, but Zuiyas also participated.

Su Xiao turned and walked toward the outside of the bone house. He was prepared to go to the other side to see a certain little guy.

As soon as Su Xiao left the bone house and walked into the video game hall, he saw the chubby clown talking to an old man, who was nodding repeatedly.

"Sack."

Sack was the chubby clown's name. Hearing Su Xiao call him, the chubby clown walked over quickly. He actually wanted to run away for a long time, but running away required time to prepare.

"What's the matter?"

The chubby clown's attitude was not servile.

"I want a wooden stick, a scholar's wooden stick."

"What?"

The chubby clown was full of confusion.

"Isn't that what you picked up? Then forget it."

Su Xiao didn't use physical negotiation because he had played the red face before. Would the chubby clown have some gratitude? Probably, Su Xiao wasn't sure, so he was prepared to try.

Walking one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, Su Xiao stopped. The chubby clown didn't call him to tell him where the scholar's wooden stick was.

Su Xiao was sure that the scholar's wooden stick was in the playground. He had determined this point when he saw the stone house earlier.

"Sack, you should have said just now that you actually know where the scholar's wooden stick is. Now say it to me like that. Say, you know where the scholar's wooden stick is."

Su Xiao turned his head to look at the chubby clown. He didn't believe he couldn't awaken the chubby clown's "gratitude." Even if he had to cut the other party into a human stick today, Su Xiao had to get this done.

"Eh?"

The chubby clown was even more confused.

"..."

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes, a smile appearing on his face. He was prepared to start physical negotiation.

"Ah! I remember now. Yes, a month ago, after that stone house fell, I did find a wooden stick in the dark compartment of the back wall of the stone house. So that's what you were talking about. Hahahaha, I'll go get it right now, right now."

The chubby clown ran to the storage room. The reason was that in the instant just now, he felt an aura that made his hair stand on end. That blood aura, how many tens of thousands of people had to be killed to have it?

Before long, the chubby clown brought a wooden stick. This wooden stick was about 1.3 meters long, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, with spiral wood grain on it.

Taking the scholar's wooden stick, Su Xiao walked out. After walking for more than ten minutes and passing the path between the lawns, under the night sky, he saw the stone house from before, with a human-shaped grass roof, and the rocks on the outer wall had traces of melting, looking like a half-melted candle.

Su Xiao had been to many worlds and had seen many styles of architecture. Unless it was something with special significance, even if it was built magnificently or luxuriously, he wouldn't keep it in his heart.

The ordinary-looking stone house ahead left a deep impression on Su Xiao because the stone house had sheltered him, sparing him from the scorching of the sun.

It didn't sound like much at first, but what if it was sparing him from the scorching of the sun in the Holy Land of Kiliad? The sunlight there could melt people into a large lump of candle-like substance.

Su Xiao stopped at the front door of the stone house and raised his hand to press on the wall next to it. Even though this wasn't the Holy Land of Kiliad, he felt the scorching heat of the sun from the wall.

Su Xiao walked into the stone house. The furnishings inside had decayed and turned into ash piled in the corner. Only a metal table against the wall remained intact. Su Xiao had prepared sun potions on this metal table.

He came to the wall on the innermost side. The wall was pitch black, and a black stone disk was embedded at a height of about 1.2 meters from the ground, with nothing inside.

Su Xiao pressed his hand on this stone disk.

"Dudu, gugu."

A very clear sound came from inside the wall behind the stone disk. Hearing this sound, Su Xiao knocked on the stone disk with the scholar's wooden stick in his hand.

Po~

A wave with white light spread out.

【Prompt: You have awakened 'Dudu Gugu'. You can conduct friendly trading with 'Dudu Gugu'. 'Dudu Gugu' is a friendly unit of the Painting World.】

【Prompt: Because the Hunter's Charm attribute is too low, it is -9 points! 'Dudu Gugu' refuses to trade with you.】

【Prompt: Because the Hunter's Charm attribute is -9 points, 'Dudu Gugu' feels you are very terrifying.】

Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao's expression didn't change. He had suspected before that Dudu Gugu was just residing in the Holy Land of Kiliad. Looking at it now, sure enough, Dudu Gugu might even have signed a contract with the Tree of Void, an existence similar to the old woman selling water, the blind old man, and the mushroom sage.

Su Xiao had traded with Dudu Gugu once. Trading with Dudu Gugu was very interesting. It wanted everything, and afterward, it would give back Soul Crystals or other rare items.

Su Xiao had made a profit trading with Dudu Gugu last time. More importantly, Dudu Gugu could provide buff states.

Logically, Su Xiao had already traded with Dudu Gugu once, and Dudu Gugu wouldn't refuse a second trade, but this was under the condition that Su Xiao's Charm attribute didn't slide.

When trading with Dudu Gugu last time, Su Xiao's Charm attribute was -1 point, which already made Dudu Gugu very afraid. This was a cowardly and cute little guy.

Right now, Su Xiao's Charm attribute was -9 points, plus he had just finished improving his blood aura recently. He stood there now, and ordinary evil spirits passing by him would tremble. Note, not ghosts, but evil spirits with chaotic sanity.

Su Xiao took out 【Heart of Burning (Epic Prop)】 and placed it in the stone disk fixed on the wall, and knocked on the stone disk with the scholar's wooden stick in his hand again.

"You bad, bad, bad, bad."

A clear sound came from inside the wall, and then several fluorescent white small bone hands protruded from the wall. These bone hands were very small, close to the size of a baby's hand.

Dudu Gugu's small bone hands lifted 【Heart of Burning (Epic Prop)】, wanting to throw it~, but didn't dare, only placing it on the edge of the stone disk. The meaning was very clear: it wouldn't trade with Su Xiao.

Seeing this, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes, and Dudu Gugu's small bone hands retracted with a swoosh, terrified.

Su Xiao pressed his hand on the hilt of his blade, making a gesture of drawing the blade.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss."

A clear sound came from inside the wall again.

【Prompt: Due to irresistible reasons, 'Dudu Gugu' has agreed to trade with you.】

It could only be said that this was very Dudu Gugu; it was cowardly when it said it was cowardly.

"Pitch black, dark and gloomy."

This was 'Dudu Gugu' reminding him of what it wanted. It looked like it wanted black things, but in reality, it wanted items with dark characteristics.

Su Xiao took out a small bottle of 【Dark Matter】 and placed it on the stone disk. Several small bone hands immediately protruded, grabbed the small bottle containing 【Dark Matter】, and threw it into the corner of the wall. A small bone hand submerged to the very edge of the stone disk and reached out to lightly grab Su Xiao's clothing.

"Bad, bad, bad, don't touch, touch."

Dudu Gugu's meaning was that it thought 【Dark Matter】 was a bad thing. Not only did it not want it itself, but it also told Su Xiao not to touch it.

Su Xiao thought for a moment and took out 【Twisted Abyss Energy Condensate: Fragment】 from his storage space and placed it on the stone disk. This was obtained after he dealt with the dangerous object S-173 (Calamity Bell) in the previous world.

With a swoosh, Dudu Gugu's several fluorescent white small bone hands grabbed 【Twisted Abyss Energy Condensate: Fragment】, as if afraid that if it were a fraction of a second slower, Su Xiao wouldn't give it this thing.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss."

A clear sound came from inside the wall again. It seemed to like the items obtained this time very much. Immediately, Dudu Gugu's return gift came.

Ding, ding, ding...

A full five 【Soul Crystal Cores】 fell into the stone disk. After 2 seconds, Dudu Gugu seemed to feel it wasn't enough, and another 【Soul Crystal Core】 emerged from the wall and fell into the stone disk, totaling six 【Soul Crystal Cores】! This time he made a big profit.

According to the experience last time, Dudu Gugu would continue to make requests until reaching a certain upper limit.

Trading with Dudu Gugu had an upper limit. When approaching the upper limit, Dudu Gugu, this kind little guy, would keep using special gestures to remind you. If you forcibly required it to continue trading, Dudu Gugu would be very sad. Forced by the fact that once the trade started, it couldn't unilaterally terminate it, it could only be forced to continue.

Breaking through a certain upper limit in trading with Dudu Gugu would bring bad luck, and the Luck attribute would permanently decrease. This time, Su Xiao's trade with Dudu Gugu was still some distance from reaching the upper limit.

Su Xiao found that this upper limit seemed to refresh every once in a while, or did the trading upper limit refresh in different worlds? Otherwise, he had already traded to the upper limit with Dudu Gugu last time, so he shouldn't be able to trade this time.

Right now, it hadn't reached the upper limit of trading, but before continuing to trade, Su Xiao had to first determine if Dudu Gugu still had some kind of ability. He knocked on the stone disk twice with the scholar's wooden stick in his hand.

"Hand, hand, hand, grab hand, hand."

Dudu Gugu's small bone hand pointed to Su Xiao's hand. Su Xiao pressed his hand on the stone disk, and Dudu Gugu's several small bone hands grabbed his hand. The small bone hands were a bit cold.

【Prompt: You have obtained Dudu Gugu's buff blessing. Your Luck attribute is temporarily increased by 6 points, lasting for 12 hours.】

【You have obtained Dudu Gugu's secondary buff blessing. Your real Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes are temporarily increased by 5 points, and your maximum HP +15%. The effect lasts for 12 hours.】

【Because you have reached a trade with Dudu Gugu, and the items you took out made Dudu Gugu feel your generosity, when the two buff blessings end, you can return to this place again, or when you encounter Dudu Gugu in other areas, you can obtain Dudu Gugu's buff blessing again.】

ps: (Two chapters today, one chapter of 5000 words, one chapter of 3000 words. Actually, it could be sent in four chapters. Feiweng generally sends 2000 words per chapter, which is a bit short, but if these two chapters today were split, I feel it wouldn't be compact, so I sent them in two chapters.) ===== CHAPTER 3202 =====
