Chapter 3242

Su Xiao tossed the 【Sun Potion】 to Caesar. This potion was decent enough; as for the extra buff effects, that was a common occurrence, especially when improving and developing potions.

After examining the 【Sun Potion】, Caesar discovered that it was indeed ten times stronger than similar potions, though one point was unavoidable: each person could only drink the 【Sun Potion】 once.

Caesar left with the potion to begin initial promotion and prepare for the opening that evening.

In front of the laboratory bench, Su Xiao glanced at the remaining 【Sunlight Particles】. There were 95 ounces left; barring any accidents, there would be no problem concocting another 95 bottles of Sun Potion.

Su Xiao had Baha open the window. After lighting a cigarette, he leaned back in his chair, his whole body relaxed. He intended to finish concocting all the Sun Potions this afternoon, holding them as bargaining chips in his hand. Adjusting his state was to ensure he could concoct even more bottles of perfect-quality Sun Potion.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao had Baha close the window. His energy was fully focused on the potion concoction, and bottle after bottle of Sun Potion was produced.

……

4:00 PM, first floor of the Cathedral, supply station.

Thump, thump, thump.

A knocking sound came from the door. Two figures, one tall and one short, walked into the supply station room. Behind the wooden counter, Caesar was fast asleep, a large puddle of drool flowing out.

The two believers who arrived included one who was tall, wearing faith robes and a head bucket. Judging by his figure, he was male. The faith robes he wore indicated he was skilled in using Sun Miracles, belonging to the ranged class.

The slender figure beside him was a head shorter. This person wore black leather clothing and carried a Cruel Saw Spear on her back. She also wore a head bucket, with "39" written on it, representing her age to avoid young brats harassing her because of her voice.

These two were a married couple. The tall male believer was named Dan'er Nuo, and the shorter female believer was named Xi Wei.

Although the female believer Xi Wei was not tall, she had a fiery temper. Seeing Caesar fast asleep with a large puddle of drool, she confirmed the time and made a move to slap the counter.

Xi Wei's hand had just been raised when it was caught by her husband, Dan'er Nuo. Xi Wei felt annoyed, but thinking that they were outside, she took a step back. Even though the only bystander around was still fast asleep, in Xi Wei's view, this was her husband; outside, she had to give him the utmost respect, just as her husband respected her.

Thump, thump~

Dan'er Nuo tapped the counter lightly with his knuckles and called out, "Mr. Caesar, it's still early, stop sleeping."

"Hm? Who is it?"

Caesar groggily straightened up. Seeing the "39" on Xi Wei's head bucket, he remembered this was a married couple.

"Dan'er Nuo, was the commission for you two this time successful?"

Caesar didn't show his treacherous smile; he only revealed his cunning side to those he was familiar with. When he was truly being treacherous, his expression would be very sincere.

"Very successful, we need..."

Dan'er Nuo listed the items the couple needed and placed a bag of gold coins on the counter.

Caesar's business capability needed no mention; he quickly handled everything for Dan'er Nuo and his wife. His brain, which had been a bit dazed from sleep, also upgraded from "dual-core" to "octa-core."

"Dan'er Nuo, I've just received a batch of new potions, are you interested?"

"Is it a formula developed by Bishop Cooper? If so, I won't be interested until at least three months from now."

Dan'er Nuo smiled. He respected Bishop Cooper deeply in his heart, but he would absolutely never drink potions concocted by him. As for the formulas he developed, Dan'er Nuo would only feel safe drinking potions concocted from such formulas after they had been perfected over a period of time.

Of course, it couldn't be concocted by Bishop Cooper himself; it had to be a church pharmacist. Bishop Cooper often added his own "private goods" when concocting potions.

"No, this time it's from Pharmacist Kuku Lin."

"Pharmacist Kuku Lin? Who is that?"

"That's not important. I guarantee with my reputation that this potion is truly effective and has already passed inspection by other church pharmacists. This potion is called Sun Potion."

"Sun Potion?!"

Dan'er Nuo's tone was slightly displeased. Within the Sun Church, not just anything could be named after the Sun unless it was something very meaningful, such as the Sun Head Bucket.

"This is the efficacy and the finished potion."

Caesar took out the only bottle of Sun Potion, along with a card on which the efficacy was written.

When Dan'er Nuo saw the effects of the Sun Potion, he was astonished. He hadn't expected this potion to be so powerful.

When he saw that this potion provided a significant boost to the heart and kidneys, his expression became solemn. When he was young, his kidney... cough, no, that's not it, his heart had suffered a penetrating wound. Coupled with being nearly 40 and having been married to his wife for nearly 20 years, he urgently needed to strengthen his two "hearts."

"Cough, this potion is good, especially regarding the growth and adaptability of Sun Power. How many gold coins is the price?"

"3,000."

Caesar held up three fingers.

"This..."

Dan'er Nuo hesitated. 3,000 Sun Gold Coins was a huge sum for him. Although he could save some money every time he took a commission, such a high price made him hesitate.

"We'll take it. We'll send the money in half an hour."

The female believer Xi Wei spoke up, her attitude exceptionally firm. Dan'er Nuo beside her coughed lightly and said nothing.

"Thank you for your patronage. Oh, I almost forgot, my partner and I are preparing to offer discounts to customers. From today on, if customers are willing to help us promote, we are willing to provide the two of you with a large discount, or even... free."

Caesar began to describe the rules of the discount. It was very simple: for every customer Dan'er Nuo and his wife helped Caesar bring in, they could waive 100 gold coins of the purchase cost. In other words, if Dan'er Nuo and his wife brought in 30 people to buy Sun Potion, it meant they could get a bottle of Sun Potion for free.

This sales model meant that this fellow Caesar had perhaps been to the real world.

Assuming a total of 100 bottles of Sun Potion were sold, costing a total of 10,000 Sun Gold Coins, Caesar, who occupied 30% of the total revenue, was willing to pay this cost. This was a promotional expense, an aspect he was responsible for.

Sun believers trusted each other more; potions recommended by each other were, in their hearts, much more reliable than those recommended by Caesar.

……

Apartment No. 4, in room 05 on the third floor, the sunset shone in from the horizon. Su Xiao put down the bottle of Sun Potion in his hand. There were a total of 95 bottles of Sun Potion on the table: 93 bottles of ordinary quality and 2 bottles of perfect quality.

Being able to concoct 2 bottles of perfect-quality Sun Potion was due to Su Xiao's good touch. He didn't intend to sell these 2 bottles of Sun Potion but would use them for something more important.

"Woof."

"Hm, send them over."

Su Xiao stored 43 bottles of Sun Potion into the team storage space, leaving 52 bottles.

Caesar had already opened the sales channel on his end. For most believers, the Sun Potion seemed a bit expensive, but for those believers keen on combat, the Sun Potion was not expensive at all.

It was precisely because Caesar knew this that he patted his chest and guaranteed it could be sold. This was the value of intelligence.

Not long after Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sent the potions over, Su Xiao discovered several large bags of gold coins in the team storage space, totaling 10,500 Sun Gold Coins.

These Sun Gold Coins could not be sold to the Samsara Paradise but had to be handed over to Caesar. In this way, Caesar could, in his capacity as a logistics administrator, transfer reputation points equivalent to the 10,500 gold coins to Su Xiao. Otherwise, Caesar could not help Su Xiao obtain reputation points in any way, unless he wanted to taste the consequences of violating the initial regulations.

【You have obtained 105,000 reputation points.】

【You have obtained 168,000 reputation points.】

【You have obtained 147,000 reputation points.】

Sun Potions were sold one after another. In less than half an hour, 20 bottles of Sun Potion were sold, and 420,000 reputation points were in hand.

It's interesting to say, Su Xiao solved the strange noise in Yongwang Town, and his sanity value even slipped below 200 points, only to obtain 7,830 reputation points. Now, selling one bottle of Sun Potion over there, he netted 21,000 reputation points.

This was just the beginning. Once the Sun Potions were sold out and Su Xiao had obtained a large amount of reputation, he would announce one thing: from today on, he would concoct several types of potions for all believers of the Sun Church, with believers bringing their own materials.

The reward Su Xiao proposed was for them to do one thing for him. This thing was very dangerous but did not reach the level of certain death. Furthermore, as long as they reached this deal with him, the believer could bring materials later and have potions concocted for free.

In reality, this was just a gimmick. Su Xiao claimed to the outside world that he would only concoct a few types of potions. Finding the corresponding materials was not difficult to say, but to say it was simple, it also required time.

Climbing to a high position within the Sun Church was useless to Su Xiao. The high-level members of the Sun Church were just strong; they would not command, nor could they command other believers. This was the tenet of the Sun Church.

Therefore, Su Xiao adopted this strategy. The thing he needed the Sun believers to help him with was to go over there and snatch the scroll fragments when the Sun Monarch, Wood, Zui Yasi, Morey, and others were fighting to the end.

This matter was not urgent for now. Su Xiao had Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was at the supply station, activate the faction store and share the permissions. The exchange list appeared before Su Xiao's eyes.

Su Xiao, carrying a huge sum of 420,005 reputation points, immediately exchanged for 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】. Buying this thing at the current stage would not be a problem.

What Su Xiao regretted was that there were a total of three 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】, and he could only exchange for one at most. This was the rule of the reputation store.

【You have consumed 136,000 reputation points.】

【You have obtained Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece.】

【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】

Quality: Immortal Grade

Type: Strengthening Item

Effect: Can increase the enhancement level of Immortal-grade equipment to +10 (excluding Immortal-grade weapons and a small number of special Immortal-grade equipment).

Rating: 1,500 points (Immortal-grade item rating is 1,000–1,500 points)

Introduction: This is the scorching blood flowing from within the Sun Ring. After this blood solidifies into a blood crystal, it becomes this object. Unfortunately, it cannot be used for painting. Compared to scorching blood, dark blood is what this world needs. The Sun Church has made its greatest efforts, but they do not come from darkness. Only the Trace King longs for darkness, and the Painter needs dark blood.

……

【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】 is a good thing. This 【Sun Blood Crystal】 can enhance Immortal-grade equipment to +10. Using it to enhance the Fate Ruler or Berger's Heart are both good choices.

Su Xiao spent another 60,000 reputation points to exchange for 30 【Warm Sun Stones】. This was the reward to be paid to ten believers. Su Xiao decided to hire people now to catch the Moon Apostle and Morey.

3 【Warm Sun Stones】 per believer, which was an item worth 6,000 reputation points per person. For a commission, this was already a very good reward. What was even more wonderful was that this time, 10 people were acting.

Sun Church Set · Set Effect 2: Sun Justice (Passive), when you fight in coordination with other Sun believers, for every additional Sun believer beside you, your True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina, True Intelligence, and True Charisma attributes will each increase by 2 points.

Hint: This set effect can increase True Strength, True Agility, True Stamina, True Intelligence, and True Charisma attributes by a maximum of 10 points!

Hint: When the set effect reaches its maximum value, a stronger Sun Power buff will be activated. Sun Power will nourish your body. After you are injured, the speed of health recovery will be determined based on the severity of your injury (the more severe the injury, the stronger the recovery effect brought by this effect).

……

Caesar had already contacted 10 Sun believers skilled in concealment and capture. Su Xiao put 10 【Warm Sun Stones】 into the team storage space and had Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang transfer them to Caesar. This was the deposit paid to the ten believers.

20 minutes later, the deposit was paid, and the ten Sun believers set off.

After a round of spending, Su Xiao still had 224,005 reputation points left. These reputation points came quickly and were spent even faster.

By the sunset window, Su Xiao lay on a lounge chair, a breeze blowing gently. He took out the Deathmatch Terminal to play the DLC of the puzzle-solving game. From this DLC, he felt that Pi Pang's game production level had improved.

At the same time, in the Ancient Dragon Kingdom · Ebeiya Si, a thousand meters above, a stone bridge hung in mid-air, with a tower connected to the end.

Inside the Forbidden Tower, scorch marks could still be seen on the walls and ground, as if it had been bombed many times. A layer of crystal covered it to prevent the smell of burning from spreading.

The White Dragon Lady was still wearing a cold white long dress. The translucent veil covering her head had already been removed because this veil affected her vision and made her reactions slower.

At least that was what the White Dragon Lady thought; it was definitely not that her reactions were slow. The previous mistakes were all because this veil blocked her vision.

It could be said that the White Dragon Lady's thoughts at this moment were no different from the excuses of "network lag," "there's a delay," or "my palms are sweating" mentioned by many netizens.

The White Dragon Lady, sitting in a chair, held a tablet computer in her hands. On the screen was the puzzle-solving game that Su Xiao had once conquered. The keywords for this game were: "Anti-human difficulty, nightmare for the clumsy, game withdrawal device, malice from the developer, friendship ends after recommending to friends."

This puzzle-solving game had made countless contractors furious, foaming at the mouth, and angrily throwing their phones. When they played this game, Pi Pang became their best friend, often being "greeted" on their lips.

The White Dragon Lady's eyes were fixed on the screen, her slender fingers tapping continuously. After conquering a small level, she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart. Then, the character on the screen was stepped on by a butcher and hacked to death with axes. The screen was full of blood spots. With every axe hack from the butcher, the screen shook irregularly and even had a vibration sensation.

The screen turned black and white. The White Dragon Lady looked at the screen, and after a few seconds, she smiled reluctantly. She thought in her heart that this was a plaything called a game. As a Dragon Daughter, a survivor of Ebeiya Si, and a witness to the demise of two great civilizations, how could she be angry because of a game level? Absolutely not.

The White Dragon Lady started a new game. The random character was a machine puppet, the White Dragon Lady's favorite character, and also the character she used best. Unfortunately, 5 seconds later, the screen turned black and white.

"Hoo~"

The White Dragon Lady exhaled lightly. She didn't notice that her mindset had already changed.

Half an hour later, the White Dragon Lady frowned and hesitated for a few minutes before not putting away the tablet computer.

One hour later, the White Dragon Lady's frown deepened.

Two hours later, the White Dragon Lady seemed to be gritting her teeth, and her eyes narrowed a little. She wanted to throw the tablet computer in her hand, but she couldn't bear to. Furthermore, as a lady, she had to maintain dignity and elegance. The White Dragon Lady recited silently in her heart that she couldn't be angry; it was just a game, not worth it.

Five hours later, the White Dragon Lady turned off the tablet computer. The pitch-black screen reflected her expressionless face.

Taking a total of 16 hours, the White Dragon Lady was completely tortured into autism by this puzzle-solving game.
