Chapter 3318

Su Xiao closed the email. Except for the Black Maple Tree branches, all other items on the stall had been sold. This was a result he had long anticipated. It wasn't that the Black Maple Tree branches were hard to sell, but that there were many interested buyers currently in the bargaining stage. Selling things, of course, goes to the highest bidder.

Just hang them up for sale. Su Xiao had just received the adventure group promotion prompt and only now had time to check it. He opened the adventure group's data.

Adventure Group Name: Dawn

Adventure Group Tier: SSS-level (highest level adventure group)

Leader: Su Xiao.

Deputy Leader: Xiang Bubu Teni.

Honorary Deputy Leader: Baha.

Leader's Muscle: Amu (this is a position added by Deputy Leader Xiang Bubu Teni).

Leader's Assistant: Benny.

Adventure Group Mode: Solo (cannot recruit external members).

Team Space: Available.

Team Skill 1: Hunting Group (Passive Lv. 1): During world settlement, can increase own physical attributes by 1 point (can increase Charisma, Luck, Willpower).

Prompt: This increase requires going to the Attribute Enhancement Hall to activate (random increase).

Team Skill 2: Radiant Team (Passive Lv. 52), all team members' HP +3060 points, Mana +1960 points.

Team Skill 3: Vitality Su Xing (Rare · Team Passive Lv. 1), when a team member's HP drops below 3%, this ability will activate, recovering 5% of max HP within the following 3 seconds.

Prompt: The cooldown for this ability is 24 hours, and each team member's cooldown is calculated separately (e. g., if Xiang Bubu triggers this ability, it will not affect Amu continuing to trigger it within 24 hours).

SSS-level Adventure Group Shared Ability: Every world settlement, based on the leader's comprehensive evaluation, obtain corresponding team skill points.

Current Team Skill Points: 92 points (42 points converted from original remaining team experience, 50 points rewarded for adventure group promotion to SSS-level).

A total of three team abilities. The Hunting Group ability existed originally, but it didn't have this characteristic before. The previous Hunting Group could obtain team experience by wiping out other adventure groups and seizing 20% of the enemy group's supplies.

This ability had been activated twice in total, which was the means to raise the adventure group to SSS-level. 50,000 team experience could raise the Dawn Adventure Group to an SSS-level group.

Su Xiao had already saved up 42,000 points, but ended up not using them. These team experience points were not wasted; they were all converted into team skill points.

As for how the current Hunting Group ability is, it's hard to judge for now. The Radiant Team ability existed before; this ability belongs to a very conventional type, but the effect is truly tempting. After inserting this skill into the team skill slot in the last world, Morey and Shenying joined the team on the spot.

The third team ability, "Vitality Su Xing"—the first impression this ability gives people is not good. When HP drops to 3%, recover 5% HP within the following 3 seconds. No matter how you look at it, this ability is somewhat unsatisfactory.

But don't forget, the "Vitality Su Xing" ability is only Lv. 1 and is the only rare-grade ability among the three team skills.

With 92 team skill points, Su Xiao pondered which ability to upgrade. First is "Hunting Group." This ability is very strong, but to him, it's a bit strange.

The 1 point of physical attribute increased is a random increase in the attribute enhancement chamber. Choosing one of the three physical attributes, having a one-third probability of adding to Charisma, truly makes one's mood complicated.

If this were a team skill that provided an extra 1 point of real attribute, he wouldn't even need to consider it; Su Xiao would immediately max out this ability. If he couldn't max it out this time, he would continue to max it out later.

With the current bonus, if he maxed it out and subsequently had a few more random increases to Charisma, would the Charisma attribute still be salvageable?

Soon, Su Xiao abandoned this unrealistic idea.

Attempting to upgrade "Vitality Su Xing (Rare · Team Passive)," he immediately received a prompt: upgrading this ability requires 3 team skill points per level.

The crushing defeat of the Zhan Long Shan impact 12 made Su Xiao decide to be more stable in his actions in the near future. One might ask, which team skill is the most stable to upgrade? That goes without saying: of course, it's "Radiant Team." This can also improve the survivability of Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny.

Compared to ruthlessly dumping team skill points into the "Vitality Su Xing" ability, the effect of dumping into "Radiant Team" first is better.

The former has a high growth ceiling, but dumping all 92 skill points into it would only raise it to Lv. 30 at most, whereas upgrading "Radiant Team" would max it out directly! A maxed-out common team skill is far stronger than a rare team skill in the middle of growth.

With the Tree-Born World approaching, Su Xiao wanted some immediate improvements. Based on his brand level, he consulted the Reincarnation Paradise in detail about this and learned one thing: the first team skill to reach max level will have different changes.

【Prompt: You have chosen to upgrade Radiant Team Lv. 52, and it is a continuous upgrade.】

【You have consumed 23 team skill points.】

【Radiant Team has been upgraded to Lv. 75 (this is the limit level for common team skills; the limit for rare team skills is Lv. 80).】

【Prompt: Your first team skill has reached Lv. 75 (max level). You can choose the following additional bonuses (this is a unique reward for SSS-level adventure groups).】

【Checking the Hunter's record of participating in World Conquest Wars...】

【Check complete. Because the Hunter has participated in World Conquest Wars many times and has won victories for the Reincarnation Paradise under harsh battle situations many times, this team skill extra reward will have 2 types of rare rewards. You can choose one of the following rewards.】

1. Radiant Team increased HP +1000 points, Mana +650 points.

2. Radiant Team level limit increased by Lv. 15 (rare reward).

3. Radiant Team additionally increases 5 points of real Stamina attribute (rare reward).

Three choices. The previous Radiant Team increased 3060 HP and 1960 Mana. Su Xiao pondered for a few seconds and chose the second reward: level limit increased by Lv. 15.

After completing the selection, the level of Radiant Team was no longer at max level. Since he wanted to max it out, he might as well push it to Lv. 90.

【Consumed 15 team skill points.】

【Radiant Team upgraded to Lv. 90!】

"Team Skill 2: Radiant Team (Rare · Team Passive Lv. EX), all team members' HP +9700 points, Mana +4200 points."

The tier of the Radiant Team ability has been upgraded from a common team ability to a rare team ability. This is not surprising, as the level was pushed to Lv. 90.

However, according to Su Xiao's understanding, skill level is unrelated to tier; the two cannot be converted. Brand level, world level, and mission level are related to tier and are conversion relationships.

What is a simple, crude, yet exceptionally powerful ability? This is it. If forming a small team and inserting this ability into the team skill slot, as long as it's not a direct hostility, most wild healers can't resist this temptation.

The increase in Mana has extraordinary significance for Su Xiao. His Mana broke through the 40,000 mark, reaching 41,682 points. Not to mention anything else, just based on the amount of Mana, if Su Xiao didn't have a Reincarnation Brand and was in a Tier 8 native world, if a Qiyuezhe detected his data, they would definitely turn around and flee, mistaking him for the big villain boss of that world.

Regarding this, Morey the little angel deeply agreed. She once saw Su Xiao one-on-one with the Blood God. After watching the battle for a while, Morey no longer had that feeling of a Qiyuezhe fighting a boss, or rather, the weak fighting the strong. Her more intuitive feeling at the time was that these were two big bosses beating each other up. The only special thing was that one of the big bosses actually had a Reincarnation Brand, which was truly strange.

With 54 team skill points remaining, Su Xiao upgraded the Vitality Su Xing ability to Lv. 19 at the cost of 3 points per level.

"Team Skill 3: Vitality Su Xing (Rare · Team Passive Lv. 19), when a team member's HP drops below 10%, this ability will activate, recovering 630 HP + 20% of max HP within the following 3 seconds."

"Prompt: The cooldown for this ability is 19 hours (cooldown between team members is calculated separately)."

"New characteristic: This recovery effect is controllable. It can be extended according to the control of the person being recovered, but the total amount of HP recovered remains unchanged. If the person being recovered does not control it, this recovery will be completed in 3 seconds in the normal way."

As the level of the "Vitality Su Xing" ability increases, the effect becomes more and more satisfying. At the current stage, this ability can save lives. If it can be upgraded to above Lv. 50, it must be a life-saving divine skill.

For Su Xiao, this ability is particularly useful. He now has a trump card: relying on the Black King Armguard's immunity to near-death, combined with the Blood Gun Master's increase in melee attack intensity during near-death, to fight enemies head-on.

Now with this ability, not only is there no conflict, but it makes near-death not so life-threatening. This recovery is controllable and can be delayed for a period of time, just like being blessed with "Slow Recovery," keeping Su Xiao's HP stable between 9% and 10%, maintaining a near-death state, but not the kind of situation where he could die at any moment.

Su Xiao realized the power of the SSS-level adventure group. The only thing he couldn't quite grasp was the Hunting Group ability. He only hoped that the attribute points obtained in the future could be added to Luck or Willpower.

Adding to Charisma would be like throwing money into the water; it wouldn't cause the slightest ripple for Su Xiao's -9 Charisma attribute.

Su Xiao previously had a title that increased Charisma by 30 points. When he wore that title once and his Charisma attribute still remained at 0.1, he realized the severity of the situation and abandoned the plan to save his Charisma attribute. However, he later discovered that negative Charisma is truly very strong. When a blade is held to a plot character's neck, they tell everything they know, and their attitude is enthusiastic.

High Charisma requires being polite to plot characters. Su Xiao holds a blade, and plot characters have to be polite to him. Which is more comfortable is obvious.

Su Xiao took out three pieces of 【Solidified Sun Blood Crystal · Extra Large】 from his storage space. This thing can upgrade most Immortal-grade equipment to +10, but it cannot be used on Immortal-grade weapons and a small amount of Immortal-grade equipment.

There were three pieces in total, one each for 【Fate Dominator】 and 【God's Judgment】. For the remaining piece, 【Wolf Blood · Moon Ornament (Immortal-grade · Accessory)】 seemed like a good choice, but the attribute of this accessory is "Damage tier of blade and sword weapons +1."

Even if upgraded to +10, it's impossible for the damage tier to be +2. Su Xiao's Blade Master reached Lv. 60, and the blade damage tier only increased by +1.

Keep the remaining piece for now; this thing can be used anytime, anywhere. Currently, the pre-selection is 【Berg's Heart (Immortal-grade)】. Before the stay time this time, there was no better choice, so use it on Berg's Heart.

Having made up his mind, Su Xiao used the Sun Blood Crystal on 【Fate Dominator】 and 【God's Judgment】. The two fist-sized Sun Blood Crystals dissolved, wrapping a metal lighter and a ring inside. Now, many names of strong people have been carved on Fate Dominator.

Si, Chi, An, Shan

Xi (originally thought Xi was dead, but wasn't; now dead thoroughly, grass on the grave has likely grown)

Qian, Jia, Ba, Zhao, Zui

Hei (Black King, this is the enemy who brought death closest to Su Xiao)

Yue (Ancient God · Moon God)

Tie (Sera Guardian · Iron Feather King)

Yi (Alien King)

Yuan (Source Guardian · Edri · Dewin)

Xue (Blood God · Gehepus)

Yin (Canglong Continent, Duoyin King)

Shi (Immortal · Rogesh)

Yu (Dark Star, Feather God · Hegla)

E (Demon Sea · Third Captain of Doom · Nameless Captain)

Yin (Law-Extinguishing Ally · Yin, Moon Wolf)

Qi (Painting World · Old Knight)

Su Xiao put away Fate Flame and God's Judgment. It would take some time to get these two pieces of equipment to +10.

"My dear friend, what you have on your stall is good stuff. I really miss that tree I saw last time."

Caesar rubbed his hands, the greed in his eyes almost spraying out.

"Oh? You've seen the Black Maple Tree with your own eyes?"

"Of course I have, my dear friend. You underestimate Caesar too much. I am also a person who has seen the big world."

Caesar put his hands behind his back, pretending to be profound.

"The one in the Black Abyss, or the one at the bottom of the Abyss Dragon?"

Su Xiao of course knew that there were three known Black Maple Trees in the outside world, all in the Void.

"It's the Black Maple Tree of the Arcane Eternal Star. Those abominable spellcasters, their attitude toward guests is too rude; they actually hung me up and beat me."

When Caesar said the last part, his voice choked.

"You went to steal the output of the Black Maple Tree?"

Su Xiao had already guessed the general idea in his heart.

"How is that possible? Am I, Caesar, that kind of person!"

Caesar was indignant. He wiped away the tears he had forced out and said: "I had only heard of the Black Maple Tree before and hadn't seen it. Last time, I went to the Arcane Eternal Star as an Arbiter of the Reincarnation Paradise to find someone. I just wanted to visit the Black Maple Tree, but I had to pee on the way..."

Caesar didn't pee under the Black Maple Tree; that was impossible. The Black Maple Tree was heavily guarded. This guy had to pee, looked for a toilet everywhere, and then found a stone platform with a metal cover on it. Unable to bear it any longer, he lifted the metal cover with all his might, heard the sound of running water below, and peed.

Caesar indeed didn't pee under the Black Maple Tree; he peed in the underground well where they drew water. If they didn't beat him to death, he should be grateful for their mercy.

"Bai Ye, who is the Arbiter you mentioned? I know quite a few Arbiters."

"Artoria."

"The little cutie over at the Toad's side?"

"You have contact with that side?"

"Yes, we are also called the Three Scumbags of the Arbiters."

Hearing Caesar's words, Su Xiao suddenly realized. He had indeed heard of the Three Scumbags of the Arbiters. It is said that in a certain World Conquest War, three Arbiters from their side formed a team. The three of them first arranged for the Arbiters of other paradises, then disguised themselves as Arbiters of the enemy side, and provided intelligence to the Qiyuezhe participating in the war on the enemy side by pretending to cheat.

At first, it was real intelligence, but in the end, they provided a fatal piece of false intelligence. Plus, having gained trust before, after the three of them gave a bunch of blind commands, the Qiyuezhe alliance of the Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Watcher Paradise collapsed. Internal strife + being ambushed + suspected of attacking Arbiters—it is said they were miserable.
