Chapter 3245

~10 min read 1,962 words

The moonlight was bright. In the iron cage near the altar, the Moon Apostle now had two choices.

A. Spend money to avoid disaster.

B. Get a beating, then spend money to avoid disaster.

C. Die on the spot.

The Moon Apostle struggled in her heart and decided to choose B. This was her backbone. A simple analogy was: "You haven't hit me yet, why should I give you money."

"I won't!"

The Moon Apostle tilted her head and even hummed. She saw it; today's matter had nothing to do with grudges, mainly the problem of soul coins.

As for all this being planned by Su Xiao, the Moon Apostle didn't think in this direction because she felt it was impossible. How long had it been since entering the Sand World? Even if he joined the Sun Church, he wouldn't have such great power to mobilize that kind of elite squad.

The Moon Apostle only felt that she was both unlucky and lucky. Unlucky in that she was targeted by the Sun Church. She was now panicked to death. Being caught by this kind of faith-based force, all kinds of 18-forbidden scenes flashed in her mind. She had once looked for resources and watched... cough, criticized this kind of anime. Now that she was caught by a faith-based force, could she not panic?

The iron cage door was opened, and the Moon Apostle was dragged out. The full moon hung high in the sky. A few minutes later, the Moon Apostle sat on the ground, sniffing her bloody snot.

"Giving money is not impossible, but I don't have that much. Even if you beat me to death, I don't have it. Wait, wait, look, if you really beat me to death, you might not even get a single soul coin. I was unlucky to be caught this time. You are willing to save me for the sake of soul coins. How about this, after this transaction, our grudges will be wiped out."

The Moon Apostle's expression was sincere. Her tenet was that as long as you don't keep chasing her, she never looks for people to take revenge. What if she dies? She hasn't lived enough yet.

"If you hadn't said it, I would have forgotten. We were hostile before. Then goodbye."

"18,000 soul coins!"

The Moon Apostle's shout was kept as low as possible.

"Deal."

"Eh? What about being hostile before?"

"Was there? 18,000."

"Even... even the way you address me has changed. I admit defeat. I'll bet on this one."

The Moon Apostle said this, but in fact, some kind of life-saving prop was already ready. She was willing to take out 18,000 soul coins because the value of her life-saving prop was above this. Such an expensive life-saving prop, one could imagine how hard the Moon Apostle was to kill.

【Hint: You have obtained 18,000 soul coins.】

Another huge sum was in hand. Su Xiao's mood was very good. Based on the current revenue and the potential revenue, this world was the most profitable world he had ever had.

If he could return to the Samsara Paradise alive this time, Su Xiao had an idea to practice, which was about the Firearms Master. This technique-type ability looked high in level, but in fact, it was still at the starting point, about to reach the degree of characteristic transformation.

If the Firearms Master developed further, it would be a technique-type ability related to energy control. If it was the same as he guessed, there was a kind of power he had accumulated for a long time that would be transformed into combat power. The potential of this power was very high.

If the ideal effect could be achieved, Su Xiao felt that his firearms ability growth would stop there, and the Firearms Master would become a technique-type ability completely different from before, with characteristics even diametrically opposite, and powerful in group battles.

Su Xiao took out the 【Church Knight Head Bucket】 from the storage space, buckled it on the Moon Apostle's head, and signaled the other party to follow him.

Out of the circular valley, the Moon Apostle walking behind looked around. She was even more nervous now. If she couldn't leave the Sun Church, she would simply lose blood.

The Moon Apostle was willing to accept this deal for a simple reason. She had heard from Morey that the other party was able to escape because she reached a deal with Bai Ye of the Samsara Paradise.

For some reason, the Moon Apostle felt that it really might be Su Xiao who hired people to kidnap her. But the time to enter this world was too short. Before having a certain status, the price paid to do this would be very high. Furthermore, even if hiring people, they might not be able to find them.

Thinking of this, the Moon Apostle's heart skipped a beat. She guessed a possibility: if Morey was located, then sending people to kidnap them would make sense, and the cost would be greatly reduced.

"The moon is really round today."

The Moon Apostle gave up thinking about this matter. She didn't want to die yet.

Su Xiao took the Moon Apostle into the Cathedral. He didn't head for the main entrance but came to the logistics supply station.

With a bang, the door was closed tightly, and Baha behind locked the door.

"Do you really have to... do this? I pay soul coins, and then take me away. Isn't this a win-win?"

The Moon Apostle lowered her head, her little fists clenched, very angry.

"Caesar."

Su Xiao handed a formula for an alchemical potion to Caesar. Caesar was like getting a treasure. His alchemy level was not very good, but he was exceptionally keen on this aspect.

"Of course, no problem."

Caesar, who had received the benefits, snapped his fingers. With a click, his finger was poked not lightly, and he winced in pain. At this moment, the Moon Apostle watching from the side received a large number of Apocalypse Paradise hints.

【Hint: The neutral unit of this world · Nicholas Caesar's favorability toward you has increased by??? points.】

【Current Caesar favorability:???】

【Due to Caesar's unilateral reason, favorability has been cleared.】

【Hint: Detected that you are ignoring equipment requirements and temporarily wearing the 'Church Knight Head Bucket'. Remaining wearable time: 45 minutes. This equipment is a representative item of the Sun Church.】

【Because you are wearing the 'Church Knight Head Bucket', and because your favorability with Caesar is cleared, you will temporarily join the Sun Church under low favorability.】

【Judging...】

【Judgment completed. You have successfully joined the Sun Church (temporarily). When the wearing time limit of the 'Church Knight Head Bucket' is reached, you will be forced to quit the Sun Church.】

【With Caesar as the 'intermediary', you have received the faction permission transfer from Kuku Lin · Bai Ye. After you are forced to quit the Sun Church, this faction permission will belong to Kuku Lin · Bai Ye again.】

【You have temporarily obtained faction privilege: Cost-price procurement (when you exchange items in the reputation list, reputation consumption is reduced by 25%).】

【You have temporarily obtained faction privilege: Profiteer (due to the introduction of Profiteer · Caesar, you can ignore the reputation level prerequisite for item exchange in the faction store and perform item exchange).】

【Caesar is the 'intermediary', and the right of interpretation for this faction permission transfer belongs to Caesar.】

【Hint: Caesar has activated the faction store function for you. Because Caesar is the 'intermediary', the quantity of items in the faction store has been restricted by Caesar.】

【Hint: Sun Sect faction reputation has been activated. You can exchange items by consuming existing reputation points.】

【Existing reputation value: 0/0 points (Indifferent).】

【You can exchange for the following 1 type of item by consuming reputation points.】

1. Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece (Immortal-grade item · Rare)

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

Inventory quantity: 2 pieces

Price: 136,000 reputation points (requires Bishop-grade reputation level, each person can exchange for 1 piece at most)

Hint: You have one exchange quota.

Hint: Due to faction privilege · Profiteer, you can ignore the reputation level prerequisite for item exchange in the faction store and perform item exchange.

……

【Hint: You have received a transaction. You have obtained 10,200 Sun Gold Coins from Kuku Lin · Bai Ye.】

【Hint: 1 Sun Gold Coin can be exchanged for 10 reputation points at the intermediary · Caesar.】

……

Receiving this large push of hints, the Moon Apostle was stunned. Before she could react, Caesar took the large cloth bag she was holding, and the Moon Apostle received another hint.

【Caesar's faction privilege · Forced buying and selling has been triggered.】

【You have paid 10,200 Sun Gold Coins; you have obtained 102,000 reputation points.】

【Due to the effect of faction privilege · Forced buying and selling, you have paid an additional 15 soul coins (this is the exchange rate conversion handling fee).】

The Moon Apostle's red lips parted in surprise, standing blankly on the spot. She seemed to have seen keywords like "handling fee" just now, and also lost soul coins. Everything she experienced today had refreshed her cognition.

The Moon Apostle looked at the 102,000 reputation points she possessed and checked the price of 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】. The price was 136,000 reputation points.

Counting her newly obtained temporary faction privilege · Cost-price procurement, which was 136,000 reputation points × 75%, it was exactly 102,000 reputation points! Wonderful~

More importantly, 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】 had an exchange quantity limit, and each person could only exchange for one piece. The Moon Apostle guessed that Su Xiao had already exchanged for 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】, and there was no quota left.

Thinking of these, the Moon Apostle knew what to do. She exchanged for 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large Piece】 with her own quota. The permissions, reputation, etc., were all prepared for her. After exchanging, she had to trade this 【Sun Blood Crystal】 to Su Xiao.

The Moon Apostle felt that if she privately swallowed this thing, she might not be able to escape even if she used a life-saving prop. The pile of hints that appeared just now really scared her. She had never seen such confusing hints from the first tier to the eighth tier.

The Moon Apostle really wanted to ask Su Xiao and Caesar: You two, are you really not violators? No, the Moon Apostle estimated that even if they were violators, they couldn't come up with these operations. She was stunned, and her head was still buzzing now.

Su Xiao and Caesar were of course not violators. Su Xiao was a Hunter, and Caesar was an Arbiter. As for violation, what evidence was there? From beginning to end, this was just a normal trade, notarized by the Void Tree, Samsara Paradise, and Apocalypse Paradise.

If the Moon Apostle had doubts, she could report it at any time. However, these transfers, trades, etc., had no direct relationship with Su Xiao. He was a third party. These were all drafted by Caesar in the capacity of a plot character. In layman's terms, Caesar was a neutral "NPC" in the Sand World. Who has ever heard of reporting an NPC?

Su Xiao was the third party in the trade. In this matter, the Void Tree and Apocalypse Paradise could not control him.

Of course, the Moon Apostle had another choice, which was to report to the Samsara Paradise. Su Xiao, who was a Hunter of the Samsara Paradise, just thinking about this was exciting.
