Chapter 3239: Choice (Modified)

That night, in the latter half of the night, Su Xiao checked the attributes of the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】; this badge had already been promoted to Epic quality.

A total of seven sacrifices allowed the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 to reach Epic quality; as a price, Su Xiao's 12086 reputation points were left with only 5.

The ideal result would be to raise the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 to Immortal quality; then the boost this badge gives to Su Xiao's combat power would be considerable, and the power of his kicking techniques would increase significantly.

From green quality to Epic quality, during which five遗存 (passive) effects were triggered; among the five items obtained, two came from the Ancient Dragon faction, already used by Su Xiao for subsequent sacrifices—these are all extraordinary items, of course they can also be used for sacrifice.

The remaining three are items from the Sun faction, respectively:

【Sunlight Granules (0.72 ounces).】

【Germinated Seeds (Golden quality).】

【Lizard Beast Scales (Epic quality).】

……

Su Xiao chose to sell the 【Sunlight Granules】 because the quantity was too small, only 0.72 ounces; he knew what this was; if the quantity were larger, he could do many things with it; in the Holy Land·Chiliad, this thing is not hard to find, and can be gathered at certain specific locations.

This thing is not particularly rare, but highly representative; Su Xiao estimated that his probability of obtaining it later is not low.

These three items were valued by Caesar at 13560 reputation points; Su Xiao stored these three items in the team's storage space, Bahah took them out, and sold them at Caesar's place.

【You obtained 13560 reputation points.】

It seems he only gained over a thousand reputation points, but don't forget a key point: the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 was promoted to Epic quality—this is a free gain!

Nothing is happier than free gains except continuing to get free gains.

Su Xiao worries that when the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 is promoted from Epic to Divine Spirit quality, the return it brings might not be Sun faction items; if so, the 'funding chain' would break, making it impossible to continue getting free gains.

It's time to test luck; Su Xiao spent 13472 reputation points to first exchange for a Divine Spirit quality equipment, then began exchanging for Epic and Legendary quality items; evaluation doesn't matter, quantity does.

Before the sacrifice, Su Xiao still couldn't figure something out: the sacrifice of the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 is a transaction, with the Reincarnation Paradise as the notary; then who is the other party of the transaction?

The ancient consciousness of the Ancient Dragon faction? The remnant spirit of a strong one from the Sun God clan? Or perhaps some existence similar to an evil god?

Su Xiao feels these are all impossible; at this moment, the party he transacts with via the oath clearly has no ulterior motives; in places where the other party could obviously gain greater benefits, they ignore them.

This makes Su Xiao suspect that perhaps the other party of the transaction is the White Dragon Lady of Eberas.

The White Dragon Lady is someone Su Xiao has always wanted to find; she mastered the power of crystals; if he could master this ability, Su Xiao's Arrogant Song (Crystal Layer) ability would necessarily be greatly enhanced.

The last time Su Xiao met the White Dragon Lady, when he was about to leave, she mentioned she had mastered the power of crystals; the original conversation content was:

White Dragon Lady: 'I can teach you the power of crystals; this control, you can also achieve it; want to know the method?'

Su Xiao: 'Of course.'

White Dragon Lady: 'The time has come.'

Then, Su Xiao was sent back to his exclusive room in the Reincarnation Paradise; before leaving, he saw the White Dragon Lady's somewhat pleased gaze; although that woman was serious and dignified, during the physical negotiation process, she still held some grudges.

Finding the White Dragon Lady is difficult; Su Xiao even suspects that in this life he has no fate to go to 'Eberas' again, and will miss out on the power of crystals.

Since he cannot find her there, can he let the White Dragon Lady actively give accurate coordinates? Or, simply let her act as a medium, provided the White Dragon Lady is willing to temporarily serve as this medium, guiding Su Xiao over.

"Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, how many explosives did I just sacrifice?"

"Woof~"

Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang gestured with his dog paws to both sides, meaning this is such a large pile.

Su Xiao began to ponder, under what circumstances would the White Dragon Lady want to find a way to actively let him come over.

The White Dragon Lady is indeed serious and dignified, but she has been imprisoned in that tower for too long; her voice is indifferent, and her facial expressions do not show large fluctuations—this is because she is very lonely.

The White Dragon Lady said she has a friend named Fortune; Su Xiao guesses that is the Goddess of Fortune, or rather, the divine incarnation of the Goddess of Fortune, who unintentionally arrived in Eberas.

Seeing that the White Dragon Lady still hasn't escaped, the essence of the Goddess of Fortune cannot enter 'Eberas'.

Finding the White Dragon Lady and getting her out of 'Eberas' is very important; then the bait to fish for the Goddess of Fortune is ready.

For someone imprisoned in a cold tower, lonely and desolate, what is most important? The answer is, ways to pass time.

Su Xiao took out a tablet computer from the storage space; this is a commemorative gift from Pifang, because he cleared that puzzle game; this tablet computer with rear titanium particle solar panels contains the collector's edition of that puzzle game.

First let the White Dragon Lady taste some sweetness, then there will be an opportunity to resolve both the crystal power and the Fate Dominator promotion together.

To prevent the tablet computer from being unable to be sacrificed, Su Xiao used the 【Radiant Charging Device】 to give it a micro-charge.

Radiant Charging Device·Equipment Effect: Can inject radiant crystal fragments into growth-type equipment, making it grow at the fastest speed.

Most substances can bear extraordinary power; it's just a matter of how much.

Su Xiao sacrificed the items he previously exchanged for, plus the fully charged tablet computer.

The 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 entered promotion status again; after more than an hour, the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 completed promotion.

【Prompt: Oath Emblem·White Dragon has been promoted to Divine Spirit quality.】

【Prompt: Because this equipment's quality frequently rises in a short time, its interior is in an energy overflow state; if attempting to promote to Immortal quality within 10 natural days, this badge has a 65.77% chance of damage; after 10 natural days, the promotion failure rate will decrease with time until dropping to 0.73%.】

Rating: 1000++

Introduction: Please do not sacrifice explosive items; this message is from an unknown person.

Price: Cannot be sold

The 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 cannot be further upgraded, which is an unexpected situation for Su Xiao; undoubtedly, this is bad news.

However, the 【Oath Emblem·White Dragon】 has undergone a qualitative change; during physical attacks, total damage increases by 27.5%. What does this mean? An increase in total damage intensity means that when Su Xiao delivers a straight kick, the power is nearly one-third greater than before.

Su Xiao took out the Ruler of Fate, lit a cigarette, and entered the Emperor's Luck state; he already realized that the returned item is randomly given, and the Luck attribute is very important.

After waiting more than ten seconds, something emerged from the luminous white vortex beneath the emblem—a large crystal bottle.

【You obtained Sunlight Granules (100 ounces).】

Seeing this, Su Xiao knew his plan needed to change; originally, his backup plan was to go to the Sun Altar and exchange soul coins for a large amount of reputation, then daily use the "Cost Price Purchase" and "Return" privileges to accumulate significant reputation.

During this period, Su Xiao would not exchange anything; after accumulating over a million reputation points, he would exchange all kinds of supplies at the supply point within ten or so seconds, then flee overnight with Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Bahamut, and Caesar.

Obtaining 【Sunlight Granules (100 ounces)】 at this time changed Su Xiao's plan; although the backup plan became easier, having 【Sunlight Granules】 allows for more possibilities.

What are 【Sunlight Granules】? They are a unique product of the Holy Land·Chiliad, used as the main ingredient for preparing 【Sun Potion】.

The effect of 【Sun Potion】 is that after drinking it, for a certain period, one is exempt from the solar scorching of the Holy Land·Chiliad.

In 99% of worlds, 【Sun Potion】 has little value; in this world, 【Sun Potion】 has value.

First, it must be known that the main ingredient of 【Sun Potion】 is 【Sunlight Granules】; this potion inherently possesses high-purity sunlight properties, which is why it can exempt one from the Holy Land's solar scorching—by relying on this, when the drinker's body contains a higher concentration of harmless sunlight, incoming scorching is naturally neutralized.

This is also why Su Xiao can wear the 【Church Knight Helm】 without having undergone the solar bathing ritual, as his body once contained purer sunlight power, making the ritual unnecessary.

Church Knight Helm·Equipment Requirements: Actual Strength 185 points, Solar Bathing Ritual.

After drinking 【Sun Potion】, high-purity solar power appears within the body; over 90% of solar cultists cultivate this power, and for them, 【Sun Potion】 is a supreme tonic, as well as the rarest and most permanent beneficial potion; for outsiders, 【Sun Potion】 is useless, and excessive consumption brings harm.

Coincidentally, Su Xiao is an alchemist; no, he will temporarily refer to himself as a pharmacist, beginning to prepare 【Sun Potion】; under these circumstances, acquiring large amounts of reputation is fundamentally not a problem.

More importantly, when Wood, Siyas, More, and the Scorching Sun Monarch are about to determine a winner, Su Xiao can, by virtue of his identity as a pharmacist of the Sun Church, find some helpers and rush to that battlefield.

Su Xiao also cannot easily judge how many helpers he can find; this depends on how strong the allure of 【Sun Potion】 is for the followers of the Sun Church.

A plan in Su Xiao's mind is becoming increasingly refined; thus, More's capture plan must be carried out in advance, otherwise it will cause risks to subsequent plans.

Regarding this, Su Xiao already has a plan: first, obtain a large amount of reputation through 【Sun Potion】, then exchange for 30 pieces of 【Warm Sunstone】, requiring a total of 60,000 reputation points; using these 30 pieces of 【Warm Sunstone】, hire ten Sun Church followers skilled in stealth and live capture.

Do not think such people are hard to find within the Sun Church; as long as sufficient 【Warm Sunstone】 is provided, not only More, but even sixth-stage beast transformers—those fellows—can be captured alive.

One point has left Su Xiao undecided: currently, this is like shearing wool, focusing only on More; if he shears her bald, it will harm his vitality, and afterward, there will be nothing left to shear.

More has a mark for positioning; normally, she is certainly with the Moon Apostle.

Changing the target of this wool-shearing to the Moon Apostle is also a good choice, to avoid shearing the skin bare and breaking the legs; taking turns shearing, the wool gathered will be greater—this is called sustainable development.
