Chapter 3306
The God Blood Crystals in the large cloth bag gradually decreased. Seeing this, Su Xiao felt relieved. Finally, he had passed the hurdle of promotion to the Immortal Level. After that, it would be easy to handle; just continue hunting evil gods.
The God Judgment ring still needed some time to promote. Su Xiao took out various items from the team storage space. These were things collected in the treasury, which were valuable but could not be taken out of the World of Paintings.
Sacrificing such items to the White Dragon Emblem was the best choice. Not only did it improve the quality of the White Dragon Emblem itself, but there was also a certain probability of getting feedback when sacrificing.
Su Xiao activated the White Dragon Emblem. The emblem floated up, and a translucent white vortex appeared below. He put items one by one into the vortex and began to sacrifice.
The slowly rotating vortex condensed, and the White Dragon Emblem emitted a faint light. A stream of energy surged from the vortex below and merged into the emblem.
Su Xiao sensed that these energies surging from the vortex were not extracted from the sacrifices but came from a very distant place.
Ancient Dragon Kingdom, Eberias.
The blue-gray buildings made people feel cold, not to mention the frost and snow distributed on them.
A thousand meters above, a stone bridge hung in mid-air. There was a metal chair at the starting point of this stone bridge, and the other end connected to a tower, the tower that imprisoned the Dragon Girl.
Inside the Imprisonment Tower, the White Dragon Girl wore a cold white long dress. The translucent veil that used to cover her head was nowhere to be seen, the reason being that it blocked her vision and affected her performance.
Although her height reached three meters, her body proportions were very well-proportioned. Her figure, at first glance, didn't show any clues. In fact, huge evil was hidden under the cold white long dress, but she wouldn't intentionally highlight it because to her, this was not important.
At this time, the White Dragon Girl sat on the iron chair expressionlessly, holding a tablet computer in her hand.
People's constitutions were different and couldn't be generalized. The White Dragon Girl was cold, dignified, and elegant, but until now, she still didn't want to accept that her talent in strategy games was very poor.
To date, the White Dragon Girl hadn't passed Chapter 1, Level 2, and was stuck firmly there. But she had patience and time. For her, this was the best way to pass the time.
The White Dragon Girl had just taken a short nap and was in good spirits, very suitable for strategy games.
A vortex appeared above. The White Dragon Girl raised her hand almost instinctively. A translucent crystal protective shell like a big eggshell protected her inside, her movements unusually skillful.
Scepters, armor pieces, golden urns, and other various items clattered to the ground. When everything calmed down, the White Dragon Girl felt relieved. Fortunately, there were no bombs this time.
She got up to count the items. Various extraordinary items didn't attract her attention. She was the Dragon Girl of Eberias and was once the apple of the eye of the ancient flying dragons, which made her not care about treasures. The legacies of both the ancient dragons and the Sun God Clan were sealed on the upper level of the tower where she was. Theoretically speaking, this was her property.
Comparing financial resources, the White Dragon Girl's personal wealth was staggering.
After counting, the White Dragon Girl passed the sacrifices to the lower level of the tower. But at this time, a small black card caught her attention. She picked it up and examined it for a moment, returned to the seat, and after picking up the tablet computer, she found that, sure enough, the jack on the side could plug this triangular black card in.
With a click, the card slot snapped shut. Perhaps thinking she wouldn't know how to operate it, this card was in a fool-proof mode—plug and watch. The screen showed a picture. The White Dragon Girl was initially puzzled, but after a while, she was attracted by the content of the video. This was a suspense crime film. Just when the murderer was about to be revealed, the screen suddenly froze, and a line of text appeared.
'Woof, woof woof woof, woof! Woof woof woof woof.' Seeing this line of text, the White Dragon Girl was confused. Perhaps she thought the tablet computer was broken and even patted the screen of the tablet computer with her hand a few times. Obviously, she didn't understand Bubu Wang's dog language.
The kettle whistled as it boiled. As Su Xiao finished the sacrifice, the vortex below the White Dragon Emblem disappeared. Just this sacrifice alone was not enough to promote this emblem to the Immortal Level.
Before reaching the Immortal Level, the probability of triggering 'Remnant (Passive)' to get feedback was not high, and the probability of getting feedback by sacrificing items that could not be taken out of this world was even lower.
It wasn't without benefits. The current stage was accumulation. When the White Dragon Emblem reached the Immortal Level, the bonus of this emblem was one aspect, and turning items that could not be taken out of this world into resources for becoming stronger was the most unique thing about this emblem.
Su Xiao took out a gemstone on the table. This was the only feedback obtained from this sacrifice.
【Scale Guard (Ability Inheritance Stone, after using this inheritance stone, you will master Scale Guard Lv. 3~Lv. 5. This is an Ancient Dragon camp ability, requires mastering prerequisite abilities...).】
Overall, this thing was not bad. Although Su Xiao couldn't use it himself, he could sell it. Things produced by the Ancient Dragon and Sun God Clan were either high-quality or top-quality.
Putting away the White Dragon Emblem and 【Scale Guard】, Su Xiao began to meditate, waiting for the God Judgment ring to complete its promotion.
Four hours later, a fluctuation came from the front. Su Xiao opened his eyes and saw that the God Judgment ring had floated up on its own.
Just at this time, Baha spoke: "Boss, it's about to start."
"Hmm."
Su Xiao grabbed the God Judgment ring, put it on the index finger of his right hand, and got up to walk out of the room.
Going down to the reception hall on the first floor, everyone was there: Wood, Zuiyas, Crow Woman, Lilim, Water Brother, Morey, and Moon Apostle.
Among those present, Lilim, Water Brother, Morey, and Moon Apostle were here to watch the fun. They had all completed their respective goals.
Lilim didn't know what she had obtained. The Demon Clan's choice to let her come was the right one. She completed the task silently and was very low-key.
Morey and Moon Apostle got the Beast Heart and were now just waiting for the competition to end.
Water Brother completed the commission of the Ranger Guild and didn't make the trip in vain.
It could only be said that after reaching a high level, unless it was a World Competition, there wouldn't be a situation where they fought to the death until only one person was left.
Having reached this level of strength, their judgment of the situation was not weak. If they found it impossible, they would choose a compromise way to fish for benefits.
After the fight in the treasury before, Wood and Zuiyas both defaulted to withdrawing from the competition. In other words, now it was Su Xiao and Crow Woman competing for the first place. This was not just competing for the ranking on the leaderboard, but also competing for the ownership of this world. This was the biggest head of interest.
"Crow Woman, you came too late. The loser eats dust. By the time you come, the ashes have scattered, and you can't even eat dust."
Baha spoke, starting to mess with Crow Woman's mentality. Crow Woman didn't speak, silently submitting 29 scroll fragments.
The ranking on the leaderboard changed immediately. Crow Woman was in first place, submitting 29 scroll fragments, while Su Xiao was in second place with 20 scroll fragments.
Seeing this, Su Xiao took out 12 scroll fragments with a calm expression and chose to submit. His ranking returned to the first place, 32 to 29, 3 more scroll fragments than Crow Woman, but that was enough to win.
Where did Crow Woman get the scroll fragments? It was already impressive that she could return to the ancient castle alive; it was unlikely she had time to obtain scroll fragments.
A small part of these scroll fragments came from Water Brother, and more came from Wood. He sold 23 scroll fragments to Crow Woman.
"You really have your ways, but you still lost."
Baha started to sprinkle salt on the wound. Crow Woman still didn't speak, as if she had been prepared, or rather, had already anticipated what would happen next.
"Bai Ye, I lost in the treasury, but now, I seem to have won."
Zuiyas suddenly spoke. He took out 5 scroll fragments. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Crow Woman's face.
"Make an offer."
Zuiyas began to negotiate the price with Crow Woman in a low voice. After a while, the price was negotiated, and Crow Woman submitted 5 scroll fragments. She rushed to the first place again, scroll fragment count: 34 to 32.
"Bai Ye of Samsara Paradise, I originally had two goals: one was to come and kill you, and the other was to seize this world. I don't know if that faction has a sick brain, always wanting to go against you. But an order is an order. In terms of killing you, I lost very thoroughly. I didn't find you before."
Having said this, Crow Woman felt stifled in her heart. Targeting a goal in an area, but not even seeing it, was too shameful. Fortunately, she won this world, which was enough.
Just as Crow Woman thought so, she saw Su Xiao take out a large pile of scroll fragments, estimated to be more than 30. At this moment, her mentality collapsed, blood collapsed.
Not just Su Xiao, Zuiyas also took out a few more scroll fragments. What was incomprehensible was that he actually threw a few to Wood, keeping only 2 for himself.
【Scroll fragment ranking has been refreshed. The current ranking is as follows.】
First place: Bai Ye (Samsara Paradise), scroll fragment submission amount, 63 pieces.
Second place: Crow Woman (Arcane Eternal Star), scroll fragment submission amount, 34 pieces.
Third place: Wood (Devil Clan), scroll fragment submission amount, 8 pieces.
Fourth place: Morey, Moon Apostle (Apocalypse Paradise), scroll fragment submission amount, 7 pieces.
Fifth place: Zuiyas (Meteor Star), scroll fragment submission amount, 6 pieces.
Everything was settled. The key points of what happened just now were in five aspects:
1. In the Undersea World, Wood sold the scroll fragments he held to Crow Woman. In fact, Wood had given Su Xiao 10 scroll fragments before and couldn't take out 23 scroll fragments. How did he have so many? The answer was that at that time, Zuiyas gave Wood 10 scroll fragments, enough scroll fragments to make Crow Woman have the idea of competing with Su Xiao one last time.
2. Su Xiao didn't submit all the scroll fragments at once, but submitted 12 pieces first, leaving hope for Crow Woman.
3. Zuiyas took out 5 scroll fragments to sell to Crow Woman. Due to the suppression of the alchemy poison, there were still slash marks on Zuiyas's face, neck, etc., that hadn't recovered. He was seriously injured to this extent. Anyone could see that this was caused by Su Xiao. Did the two deliberately act? Impossible. With a little thought, one would think that the two had a final competition, and the result was that Zuiyas lost.
4. Su Xiao submitted all the scroll fragments, topping the first place with a crushing quantity.
5. Wood and Zuiyas began to share scroll fragments. Zuiyas helped Wood climb to the third place with the name of the fifth.
Su Xiao deliberately didn't submit all the scroll fragments at once, and Zuiyas's behavior of giving Crow Woman hope at a critical moment were obviously agreed upon.
Crow Woman grinned. Having reached this level, she naturally thought about what was going on.
How did Crow Woman buy scroll fragments from Wood and Zuiyas? Did she bring a lot of resources? Not really. Crow Woman was not a fool, nor would she be blindly confident, thinking she would definitely succeed.
Assuming she brought a lot of resources to kill someone, and then was counter-killed, leading to the resources brought being filial to the enemy, then she would die with regret.
How did Crow Woman buy Wood and Zuiyas's scroll fragments? The answer was the Void Tree contract. She drafted a contract, using the leaderboard rewards obtained after winning as a reward, and used the contract to predict for Wood and Zuiyas. Crow Woman dared to sign the Void Tree contract, but she had to draft it herself.
If Crow Woman won the first place, she would get the leaderboard first-place reward 【Origin Stone · World (1/5)】. Unfortunately, this Origin Stone fragment couldn't be separated and could only be divided among Wood and Zuiyas according to the value ratio.
Wood did the trick here. The content on the contract seemed to be: 'After the matter is accomplished, Wood obtains 82% ownership of 【Origin Stone · World (1/5)】'. In fact, understanding it carefully, it was: after the matter is accomplished, Wood obtains 82% ownership of the leaderboard reward obtained by Crow Woman.
The two seemed to have the same meaning, but what if Crow Woman eventually became the second place? The answer was that Wood obtained 82% ownership of 【Black Maple Tree · Branch (9500 grams)】.
Don't forget, Crow Woman, who didn't carry money and resources, also bought 5 scroll fragments from Zuiyas, which led to the remaining 18% ownership of 【Black Maple Tree · Branch (9500 grams)】 going to Zuiyas.
This matter was conspired by Su Xiao, Wood, and Zuiyas. The benefits were naturally divided by the three people.
Although Su Xiao had a Black Maple Tree, he needed this opportunity to obtain several thousand grams of Black Maple Tree output at once. Selling his own Black Maple Tree openly would attract a large group of wild dogs who didn't want to die. Before he was strong enough, Su Xiao wouldn't do that.
Moreover, every time he sold his own output at the Starry Sky Seat, because his own Black Maple Tree was not tall enough, it was often out of stock. Su Xiao felt several times that Saintess Seat was going to bite him because of this.
The Black Maple Tree produced by his own family was not enough for domestic sales, let alone foreign sales. Moreover, foreign sales would lead to constant trouble.
Selling the Black Maple Tree of Arcane Eternal Star was no problem. The output of the Black Maple Tree of Arcane Eternal Star had a unique "Overflow Mark", which was a tradition there for many years.
Seeing this mark, one knew that this came from Arcane Eternal Star. Therefore, these Black Maple Tree outputs could be sold however they wanted without causing trouble. The "Overflow Mark" was a very wise method, significantly increasing the value of the Black Maple Tree of Arcane Eternal Star.
The "Overflow Mark" on the Black Maple Tree output was equal to Arcane Eternal Star, so whether it was a buyer or a seller, they wouldn't investigate the source of the Black Maple Tree output. There was no need at all, which significantly increased the circulation and value of this kind of Black Maple Tree output.
Therefore, Su Xiao was very interested in the Black Maple Tree output of Arcane Eternal Star. Although the quality was not good, he wouldn't use it himself, but in the eyes of others, this was a rare treasure, and selling it was particularly valuable.
"The contract is divided."
Wood took out three contracts. In the past, he would definitely do tricks, but considering that Su Xiao came from Samsara Paradise, he thought it was better to forget it. They were all old thousand-layer cakes; there was no need to compare who had more layers. That was superfluous.
Wood divided the ownership of 【Black Maple Tree · Branch (9500 grams)】 that hadn't been obtained yet, using the contract scroll as a medium. Su Xiao got 46%, Wood got 14%, and Zuiyas got 40%.
Zuiyas got more because he helped Wood climb to the third place on the leaderboard.
In fact, compared to the rewards of the third and fourth places, Zuiyas wanted the 【Soul Crystal Core】 x20 of the fifth place more. He came from the Meteor Star, and Soul Crystals were scarce resources there, let alone Soul Crystal Cores.
The reason why Su Xiao took the most was, first of all, the three-way competition, and he won. If he refused, this plan would end in nothing, so Su Xiao took the big head.
Su Xiao took the contract scroll, confirmed there was no problem, and put it away.
On the diagonally opposite seat, Morey and Moon Apostle witnessed all this. They were both stunned, their scalps numb from being shown, and at the same time, they were thinking about a question: if Caesar were added to this, wouldn't Crow Woman have to pay back?
Morey and Moon Apostle thought about things too simply. In this matter, Caesar was really a participant. If it weren't for the fact that he lost his identity as an adjudicator because he did something, and was forcibly teleported out, Crow Woman would have more than a 50% chance of not only having to take out the Black Maple Tree output obtained but also really having to pay back.
At the same time, inside the Void Arena.
The auditorium was silent. At this time, looking at the seat of Arcane Eternal Star, there was no one here. Perhaps the spellcasters felt that they couldn't afford to lose this person.
The head-on collision they originally estimated didn't happen. The "Scroll Competition" and the previous "Strongest Hegemony" were two modes. If Crow Woman participated in the latter, she would be a hot favorite to win the championship.
Main Painting World, inside the reception hall of the ancient castle.
The second-place reward 【Black Maple Tree · Branch (9500 grams)】, Su Xiao 4370 grams, Wood 1330 grams, Zuiyas 3800 grams. This had already been allocated in advance, just waiting for the things to arrive. Su Xiao, Wood, and Zuiyas all looked at Crow Woman.
Crow Woman lowered her eyes. She didn't find Su Xiao in the Undersea World. She thought it was her own problem and had nothing to do with others. Being calculated by the three, she endured it. She couldn't help it if she didn't endure it. She couldn't be incompetent and furious.
However, she couldn't endure that after the three people succeeded, they divided the spoils in front of her. What made her almost lose her mind was that her reward hadn't arrived yet, and it was divided by others in advance.
At this moment, Crow Woman's only feeling was that all this was really too incredible, like a dream. In fact, she should be glad that Caesar had been teleported out. Otherwise, she would feel that everything she experienced was more dreamy.
