Chapter 3229
After putting on the Sun Church set, Su Xiao stomped his left foot. These were new shoes, and they felt a bit tight; he would have to wear them for a while before they became comfortable.
At this moment, Su Xiao was wearing an iron-black bucket helmet, and his upper garment was a black leather coat decorated with several button straps. The hem of the coat covered his belt, different from the long leather coat he used to wear. His lower body was black trousers, plus black leather shoes.
It goes without saying that this attire indicates that members of the Sun Church often operate at night. During the day, there is the Sun, and it is best not to see blood. Moreover, their cultivation speed is faster during the day, with high bonuses from the Sun. At night, there is no Sun, so anything goes.
It can be said that Sun believers are either cultivating or on their way to a battle location. They are very busy and only sleep when they can find the time.
Strangely, although there was no Sun Power in Su Xiao's body and he did not know any abilities of the Sun Church, after he put on the 【Sun Church Set】, there was not the slightest sense of incongruity. This was due to both his Charm attribute and his aura.
This might also be the reason why those Sun believers did not attack him when he only wore the 【Church Knight Bucket Helmet】, and even brought him back to the Sun Church headquarters gathering place. After he put on the 【Church Knight Bucket Helmet】, he gave the crowd of Sun believers such a strong sense of being one of their own.
He put the 【Cruel Saw Blade】 into his storage space. This thing was too big, and he would not carry it on his back unless he was in combat.
Su Xiao roughly calculated that to exchange for all the items he had his eye on, even with a 25% discount, it would require over 1.3 million faction reputation points.
A single 【Sun Flame Combustion Seal】 alone cost 450,000 reputation points, which was also the item with the highest unit price in the faction shop.
Seeing this, Su Xiao immediately thought that if he bought the 【Sun Flame Combustion Seal】 with 337,500 reputation points and then returned it, wouldn't he make a net profit of 112,500 reputation points on the spot? If he did it twice a day, he would make 225,000 reputation points. It would be exhilarating!
Doing this a few times would allow him to get everything he wanted. However, he couldn't do that yet. Everything must be done in moderation. If he went too far, the Sun Church would find out.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao thought about why he should exchange items step by step. He could save up first, wait until he had saved a huge sum of money, and figure out the current situation, so he could plan strategically and determine when he would leave this world.
After achieving these conditions, before leaving, Su Xiao could use the huge sum of money he had saved to make a surprise purchase. After buying, he would run away overnight with Caesar.
This idea had the possibility of being realized. Su Xiao needed some initial capital. He only had 4,256 reputation points now. Even if he spent it all and returned the items, theoretically, he would make at most 2,128 reputation points. It was too slow.
Su Xiao flipped through the notifications. There were many ways to obtain Sun Church reputation, the most efficient of which were completing faction missions, handing over Miraculous Objects, and offering Soul Coins and Soul Crystals to the Sun Altar.
Logically speaking, investing some Soul Coins now was a good choice, as it would allow for faster development with lower risk.
Besides fishing for reputation this way, Su Xiao had a method unique to him. Last time he returned to Reincarnation Paradise, he went to the Ancient Dragon Kingdom, Ebeias, and met the White Dragon Lady. After some "negotiations," the other party gave him the 【Covenant Emblem: White Dragon】.
The equipment effect 1 of 【Covenant Emblem: White Dragon】, Dragon Soul (Passive), was not very good for the time being. Currently, the 【Covenant Emblem: White Dragon】 was of White quality and needed to grow.
The way to make the 【Covenant Emblem: White Dragon】 grow was exactly the method Su Xiao would use to fish for Sun Church reputation.
Emblem Effect 2: Legacy (Passive), every time the quality of the emblem is increased through sacrifice, the Hunter will have a certain probability of obtaining a "Return Gift." After this emblem reaches Immortal-grade, every sacrifice will have a certain probability of obtaining a "Return Gift."
Notification: The items obtained as a "Return Gift" are items related to the Ancient Dragon faction or the Sun faction, mostly relics of powerhouses from both sides.
As long as he sacrificed to the White Dragon Emblem, he could not only increase its quality but also obtain return gifts. Specifically, he could sacrifice anything with extraordinary characteristics. Before the White Dragon Emblem reached a certain grade, it was best not to sacrifice items of too high a grade, as this had a probability of causing the White Dragon Emblem to break.
Su Xiao prepared to exchange for items in the reputation shop to sacrifice to the White Dragon Emblem. When the quality of the White Dragon Emblem increased, there would be a 50% probability of obtaining items related to the Sun faction.
Then he would hand over these items with Sun characteristics to the Sun Church to obtain reputation.
Then he would exchange for items from the reputation shop to sacrifice to the White Dragon Emblem, and so on in a cycle.
One thing to note is that the Sun faction items obtained can have Sun characteristics, but they should not have too strong a Holy Land, Kiliad style.
The Sun Church and Kiliad are "cloud hostile," meaning the Sun Church is unilaterally hostile to Kiliad. This point must be noted.
Suppose he handed over an item with the Sun emblem of the Holy Land, Kiliad, to the Sun Church. The Sun Church would immediately reward him heavily and then investigate, openly or secretly, where Su Xiao got this thing.
If they found out about Su Xiao's relationship with the Holy Land, Kiliad, then it would be a disaster. Su Xiao wouldn't necessarily be treated as a heretic—both Kiliad and the Sun Church worship the Sun—but he would definitely be accused of blaspheming the Sun and would need to be purified, which meant being exposed to the sun.
Thinking of being exposed to the sun, Su Xiao immediately thought of the little angel Morey. As soon as dawn broke, she would be sent to the Sun Altar to be exposed to the sun. Being exposed to the sun there was different from normal sunbathing.
Is being exposed to the sun in the Endless Desert terrifying? Actually, being exposed to the sun at the Sun Altar is a more terrifying situation.
You won't die from being exposed to the sun there. Every half hour, the Sun believers will give the purified person water, and they get two meals a day. This is normal. If you died, how could you still be purified? How could you still feel the Sun?
Precisely because you can't die, the Sun Altar is terrifying. The young lady believers there will watch you in turns 24 hours a day, talk to you, give you water, feed you on time, and then watch you gradually start to "aba, aba," until finally you "happily" praise the Sun, especially happy, the kind without any worries.
The Sun Church has an iron rule: never, ever provoke those beautiful female believers. One of the meanings of the Sun is beauty, so the more Sun Power the women in the Sun Church have, and the purer it is, the more beautiful, powerful, and crazy they become. They look like beauties and behave normally, but once they become interested in something, then... it's very terrifying.
The male members within the Sun Church don't have this change; the stronger they are, the more expressionless they become.
If you encounter those male Sun believers who don't fight back when scolded or hit, run away quickly. When they become interested in someone, that person doesn't even have the chance to repent or kneel. These guys who look like honest people are actually extremely dangerous.
Su Xiao decided to go and take a faction mission first, both to fish for his first pot of gold and to rendezvous with Xiang Bubu Wang and Bahar to retrieve the Black King Armguard. Without the near-death immunity, he didn't feel very secure when fighting.
Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the room. Before he could even leave, Caesar's voice came from behind:
"My dear friend, about that matter before..."
Caesar rubbed his hands, his face showing a look of embarrassment. Although he was greedy, he had already negotiated the split of the treasures in Room 7 with Su Xiao.
"What matter?"
Su Xiao looked at Caesar suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what the other party meant. In reality, as soon as Caesar opened his mouth, he knew what it was about.
"It's, cough~, Room 7 of the ancient castle."
"Hmm?"
"The split I promised before~"
"Did we talk about this?"
Su Xiao's expression was even more "suspicious."
"No!"
Caesar denied it flatly, as if nothing had happened before.
Seeing this, Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the room. Of course, he coveted the treasures in Room 7, but he never had the idea that all treasures should be his. Everyone has greed, but one cannot be insatiable.
Caesar had paid a price to create the four faction privileges earlier. The other party had consumed that item called 【War Medal】, which was absolutely very rare. This was the price paid to create the four faction privileges.
After creating these four faction privileges, Caesar didn't mention any conditions. This was already very obvious. Caesar's meaning was that he had swallowed the treasure from before, and now, after cutting this big cake, he would only feast his eyes on it and wouldn't even steal a bit of the cream.
Caesar had no combat power and only knew how to survive, but Su Xiao never thought Caesar was weak. This fellow could often do some unimaginable things.
The credit privilege in the Magic Sea World last time left a deep impression on Su Xiao. A large reason he was able to kill in all directions on the Magic Sea was the help from Caesar in the beginning, which was why Su Xiao shared so much Primordial Water with Caesar that time.
So, this matter is turned over, and whether they will cooperate to fish for benefits in the future depends on the situation.
"Bai Ye, where are you going?"
Caesar's smile was still cunning. The matter from just now was also turned over for him.
"To find a woman."
"Hmm?!" Caesar widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He tentatively asked: "My dear friend, who is this woman?"
"The ATM."
Hearing the word "ATM," Caesar felt relieved. Ignoring Caesar, Su Xiao left the room to find the "ATM" to withdraw Soul Coins.
