Chapter 3267: Compensating for Losses

A bird egg and a black pottery shard appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This bird egg had no value. Back in the Nightmare World, Su Xiao, Wood, and Sin-Ais encountered the manager, Zakawa.

That guy had a lot of presence when he appeared, with a pair of black wings, and then he was put into the jar by Wood. After being released, he had become a bald bird, half-dead.

The 【Stupid Bird Egg: Zakawa】 opened at this time was an item related to that. Su Xiao's only psychological comfort was that this time he opened a Holy Spirit-grade treasure chest, not an Immortal-grade treasure chest, otherwise the loss would be huge.

This was the time to test "friendship." Su Xiao prepared to give the 【Stupid Bird Egg: Zakawa】 to Wood; he didn't want to have a direct causal relationship with the Abyss Jar.

As for the Abyss Jar shard he just obtained, did he need to ask? Of course, it was to be returned to Wood. Returning it to its original owner—Su Xiao was a person who had received nine years of compulsory education, and he understood this virtue.

Placing the ostrich-egg-sized bird egg and the black pottery shard aside, Su Xiao picked up the 【Nightmare Treasure Chest】. This was obtained after killing the Nightmare King. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu were watching intently from the side.

The treasure chest opened. This time, it wasn't a golden light, but a green light, but it also flashed.

【Prompt: You have opened the Nightmare Treasure Chest.】

【You have obtained End Meteor (Immortal-grade weapon).】

【End Meteor】

Origin: Painting World

Quality: Immortal-grade

Category: Long-handled nail hammer

Durability: 117/230

Attack Power: 407~440

Equipment Requirement: True Strength 230 points, True Stamina 230 points, body energy of systems such as Nether, Nightmare, Dark Space, etc., already mastered.

Equipment Effect 1: Heavy Hammer (Passive): When attacking, it will carry ignore-defense damage equal to your own strength attribute × 1.75.

Equipment Effect 2: Cage of Despair (Core/Active): Immediately consume 10% of your maximum mana (or other body energy) to form a cylindrical independent space with a diameter of 20 meters and fight the enemy here for 5 minutes.

Prompt: After dragging the enemy into this independent space, your health increases by 10%, body defense +17 points, True Strength +1 point, True Agility +1 point, True Stamina +2 points, and control time received is reduced by 35%.

Prompt: The cooldown of this ability is 3 natural days.

Score: 1499 points (Immortal-grade equipment score is 1000~1500 points)

Introduction: This weapon is very old, but it underwent a recasting half a year ago. It was recast by a forging master, changing all the abilities of this weapon. The characteristic of this item is its "Cage of Despair" ability—either make the enemy despair, or... make yourself despair? Use it cautiously. After dragging the enemy into the independent space, if you can't beat the enemy, it's a very serious problem; you will have nowhere to escape.

Prompt: The Hunter is the 195th recipient of this weapon.

Price: 2030 Soul Coins.

Seeing the attributes of 【End Meteor】, Su Xiao felt, did this forging master come from Reincarnation Paradise? This ability looked particularly familiar.

Su Xiao couldn't use 【End Meteor】; he didn't have the body energy of systems like Nether, Nightmare, Dark Space, etc.

In terms of the characteristics of this weapon 【End Meteor】, it was suitable for that kind of heavy-duty warrior-type contractor. This type of contractor was both strong and weak in one-on-one fights. The weak part was that they were easily kited, and the strong part was that as long as they could catch the opponent, there were few they couldn't beat.

【End Meteor】 perfectly solved the problem. Those who could use this weapon were basically burly men. If a burly man used this weapon to trap a perception-type or treatment-type teenager, that scene would simply be "Oh yeah," full of philosophical flavor.

Su Xiao put 【End Meteor】 into his storage space. If he met a destined person, this thing could be sold for a high price.

There were three treasure chests left. Su Xiao opened the treasure chest dropped by the Sun Monarch.

【You have opened the Immortal-grade Treasure Chest (81%).】

【You have obtained Immortal Soul (Rare, 1457 points score).】

【You have obtained Sun Inscription (Immortal-grade).】

【Sun Inscription】

Origin: Painting World

Quality: Immortal-grade

Type: Inscription type

Effect: Insert this inscription into inscription base-type equipment to allow the spirit pattern base-type equipment to obtain the "Sun" characteristic.

Prompt: Inscription base-type equipment can insert 3~5 inscription pieces (the specific quantity depends on the quality of the inscription base-type equipment).

Prompt: The smaller the inscription base-type equipment, the more precious it is. Rare inscription base-type equipment can even be hung on the waist like an ornament.

Prompt: Inscription base-type equipment has no active ability bonuses initially; all are passive gains.

Prompt: Inscription base-type equipment has no active ability bonuses; all are passive gains.

Score: 1500 points (Immortal-grade equipment score is 1000~1500 points)

Introduction: Rare item.

Price: 2100 Soul Coins.

Su Xiao felt that his luck had turned around. This time, his luck was more than just good; it was truly European Emperor-possessed.

Su Xiao possessed five 【Immortal Souls】. After returning to Reincarnation Paradise, he could perform 【Immortal Soul】 synthesis. At that time, a full-score 【Immortal Soul】 would be in hand, which could be used to upgrade Dragon Flash.

And the 【Sun Inscription】 was a full-score inscription piece. If he could get a five-slot inscription base ornament, that would simply be...

Su Xiao didn't think about these. It wasn't that he didn't have dreams; he had never seen a five-slot ornament-type inscription base.

Su Xiao suspected that if he had that thing and inserted five full-score inscription pieces on it, it would be no different from carrying half a treatment-type person with him 24 hours a day. At least compared to buff-type states, it wouldn't be bad.

A single old brother once said a classic line: "If I had an inscription base filled with inscriptions, would I still spend money to find you?"

There were two treasure chests left, 【Secret Magic Treasure Chest】 and 【Immortal-grade Treasure Chest: Shadow of the Dark Demon】. No matter how one looked at it, opening these two treasure chests wouldn't open items related to dealing with nightmares.

Su Xiao's luck was a bit good this time. According to the law of conservation of luck he had explored all along, if these two treasure chests opened up normal-level gains, he might overdraw his luck. If he overdrew his luck, he wouldn't need to think about exploring the Nightmare: Ancient Castle Ward.

Su Xiao checked the prompt records and quickly found two prompts, the content of which was:

【Prompt: You have completed the exploration of the Sand World.】

【Prompt: You can rest in the Main Painting World for 24 hours. After 24 hours, all participants will enter the third Inner Painting World.】

The time was still quite ample. Su Xiao put away the remaining two treasure chests and took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar out.

"Guest, how long will you be away?"

The maid, Anastasia, floated over. She asked this mainly about when to eat.

"Back in a while."

"Alright."

The maid, Anastasia, floated away gloomily. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly shivered. It had a shadow of this maid. Last time it came back, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was woken up by the urge to pee while sleeping. It was pitch black, and as soon as it opened its eyes, the ghost maid, Anastasia, who didn't need to sleep, was looking at Xiang Bubu, less than 10 centimeters away from Xiang Bubu's dog face, and smiling.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang almost ascended on the spot, letting out a "wow" sound.

After going out, Su Xiao came to the door with the Devil race seal and knocked. After Wood opened the door, perhaps hearing the knocking, the doors of Sin-Ais and Lilim also opened, and the two watched strongly.

"What's the matter?"

Wood's pupil flames condensed, and there was an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Your father is looking for you again."

"I..."

Wood made a gesture to buckle a plate of meat in his hand. The target was not Su Xiao, but he was guarding against Su Xiao taking out the black pottery shard. Unfortunately, it was too late; Su Xiao had already taken out the black pottery shard.

Bang.

Wood fell backward as if shot in the forehead. The Abyss Jar seemed to be saying: 'You unfilial devil, dare to hit your father?'

A few minutes later, Wood returned to his usual appearance. In fact, he knew in his heart that the scattered Abyss Jar shards would return to him in various forms sooner or later.

"Just this one piece."

"Hmm."

"Then I'll sleep first."

"Wait, there's also your cousin."

"?"

Wood was confused for a moment. Su Xiao took 【Stupid Bird Egg: Zakawa】 from his storage space and tossed it to Wood.

Lilim in the nearby room was already laughing uncontrollably. She was of the same generation as Wood, and she had never seen this Devil race member have such an appearance. In the past, they were all arranged by Wood; no one dared to play against Wood.

"Gone?"

Wood examined the bird egg in his hand, having already guessed the general idea.

"Temporarily gone."

"Temporarily..."

Wood chewed on the word "temporarily." Su Xiao walked toward his room. Just then, two people walked up the stairs and pushed the door into the Shelter Hall.

As soon as these two saw Su Xiao, they immediately wanted to slip into the room with the brand.

"Stop!"

Bahar shouted loudly. Morey and the Apostle of the Moon stopped immediately. They naturally wouldn't have listened to Bahar's words, but now they were guilty.

"Are you two doing well?"

"Still... still okay."

"Smooth, smooth, haha, thank you."

When the Apostle of the Moon said this, her conscience felt like it was being cut by a knife, especially painful.

"What about the Sun Head Bucket I lent you?"

"Uh~"

"Like this~"

Morey and the Apostle of the Moon both smiled very sweetly. Su Xiao looked at the two with a blank expression.

"Ahem~, lost. Listen to me, it really wasn't our fault. I don't know how it was lost either. It was clearly hanging on our bodies, and then with a 'whoosh,' it was gone."

When Morey said this, she felt even more guilty.

Su Xiao still didn't speak, just showed the four-piece set of the Sun Church to Morey and the Apostle of the Moon, only missing the Sun Head Bucket. In fact, the original head bucket of this set was of course still there.

Seeing the Sun Church set and missing one piece, Morey and the Apostle of the Moon felt even more guilty. Bahar took the opportunity to ask: "Is one left okay? Both head buckets were lost?"

"Uh~, seems... so?"

Morey smiled and scratched her pink short hair. Seeing this, Bahar "sighed."

Bahar knew what was going on. Morey and the Apostle of the Moon's head buckets were lost? That was of course. Su Xiao only had holding rights to those two head buckets, not ownership. In this case, they didn't even have holding rights, only temporary usage rights. Morey and the Apostle of the Moon couldn't check the attributes of those two head buckets.

Overall, those two head buckets couldn't be brought into the Sand World, so it was strange if they weren't lost.

It was hard to meet these two little rich women once, so Su Xiao of course had to squeeze hard and squeeze out more good things.

After thinking, Bahar said in a regretful tone: "Since it's already lost, let's talk about the compensation problem. Caesar, business is here."

"Business? What business?"

Caesar pushed open the door of Room 7 with a "creak" and walked out with a treacherous smile.

Seeing Caesar appear, Morey and the Apostle of the Moon stood still. Their brains were buzzing now. ===== CHAPTER 3268 =====
