Chapter 3381

Su Xiao closed the prompts. These prompts contained a lot of information. First, in the initial battle, he had severely wounded the contractors of Holy Light Paradise and Hope Paradise, causing the rank of his forged brand to rise by half a step, making him a Battle Angel (reserve).

Thus, this forged brand gained special significance. Previously, it was merely a forged brand, belonging to a highly realistic counterfeit. Now, because Su Xiao had raised its rank by half a step during the forgery, it leapt from counterfeit to genuine.

In Reincarnation Paradise's judgment, Su Xiao's current forged brand now held different value. Once analyzed, it would allow the construction of counterfeits much harder to detect in the future.

After Reincarnation Paradise completed the analysis, this forged brand would undergo a 'refresh', refreshing from 'black household' to 'legal household'.

Su Xiao could obtain this 'legal household', but by then, it would no longer be merely a brand; it would be a special title.

Simply put, wearing that title would allow Su Xiao to 100% impersonate a contractor of Dawn Paradise. Detection equipment, abilities, and other methods would absolutely fail to reveal his true identity as a Reincarnation Paradise hunter.

This was very valuable. Su Xiao now frequently entered fully open native worlds, where contractors of Reincarnation Paradise, Dawn Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and other factions were all present.

Contractors of other factions, upon sensing Su Xiao bore Reincarnation Paradise's brand, would first react with vigilance, and then likely withdraw.

Within each world, contractors often occupied important positions during major events. Sometimes they could infiltrate these people, seize important items, or gain certain information. Originally difficult tasks would then be swiftly resolved.

After meeting certain conditions, he could also use this brand to enter Dawn Paradise. Unless there was something necessary to do there, Su Xiao would not easily attempt it.

Once inside Dawn Paradise, if exposed, Reincarnation Paradise could not save him; he would certainly be executed on the spot there.

Su Xiao stood by the arched window, gazing down at the battlefield. The battlefield had not yet been fully cleaned; enemy and allied corpses were separated, to be buried in different places later.

After the boar warriors believed in the sun, though still fierce, in their belief, enemies' souls would be purified by the sun after death—that is, death ends enmity, leaving corpses that should be buried in the earth.

Belief in the sun made the boar warriors pure, not simply pure, but essentially pure, with a fundamental difference. From a certain perspective, the purer they were, the more terrifying they became.

In the room, as several female pig-headed beings busied themselves, the central control room returned to its original state. The broken objects were cleared away, and a lavish lunch was set on the coffee table.

Su Xiao sat on the sofa. A few minutes later, Morey and the Moon Apostle entered the room one after another. Morey hummed a tune, and the Moon Apostle wore a smile; both were in good spirits.

No wonder they were in good spirits. Earlier, Morey had formed a team, and Su Xiao and the Moon Apostle had joined.

As the leader of the recent melee, Su Xiao naturally made Morey and the Moon Apostle participants as well. However, the Moon Apostle was very clever, always having her summoned creatures mine, presenting a cooperative yet watchful stance—not because she didn't want more battle achievements, but because she dared not do so.

"I just got hungry."

Morey sat on the opposite sofa and immediately began eating.

"You eat less; I'm hungry too."

The Moon Apostle neatly placed her napkin, picked up her utensils, and began enjoying lunch.

"You don't exercise, so why are you hungry?"

"Who says I don't exercise?"

The Moon Apostle's reaction was somewhat intense, like she had been stepped on the tail.

"You're the only one who exercises—you can sit but not stand, lie but not sit; your limbs are almost lying down and atrophying."

Morey's words caused the Moon Apostle to immediately launch a heavy punch. A few seconds later, Morey sat on the Moon Apostle as if she were a cushion.

"Did you call us here to sell battle achievements?"

Morey's eyes held a hint of anticipation, as did the Moon Apostle sitting beneath her, who ceased struggling.

Earlier, Su Xiao had already agreed on prices with Morey and the Moon Apostle: 10 battle achievements for one complete soul crystal. Now Su Xiao had 2910 battle achievements.

"It's just soul crystals, right? No matter how many battle achievements, we want them all."

"2910 battle achievements, that is, 291……"

"Wait a moment."

Morey got off the Moon Apostle, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered something to the Moon Apostle. The Moon Apostle nodded at times, shook her head at times, and after a moment.

"Cough, after discussion, we decided that handling such important matter as collecting battle achievements should be done step by step. You agree, right, Bai Ye? Hahaha, Bai Ye, how did you pull out your knife? We need to reason; using force is barbaric. Wait… wait, I was wrong—I shouldn't have bragged. We couldn't possibly carry 291 soul crystals on us. Do you think we're soul treasure chests? Who knows if you could get that many battle achievements……"

Morey explained for a long time; the core point was that she truly could not produce 291 complete soul crystals for trade.

"Soul crystal cores can also be used."

"That won't work."

"……"

Su Xiao stopped speaking. Am at the door slammed the door with a bang.

After a round of 'negotiation', Morey and the Moon Apostle completed the trade: 127 complete soul crystals, 3 soul crystal cores, and 5100 soul coins.

Ask: Is the value of 2910 Dawn Paradise battle achievements only these? No, not at all. Even if the World Contention War ended as a defeat, the rewards from so many battle achievements would still exceed these.

The problem is, Morey and the Moon Apostle both suspected there was a catch. They were now like scratching a lottery ticket; afterward, these battle achievements would count, and they would profit. If these battle achievements were erased, they would lose so much they'd cry snot.

After the trade, the Moon Apostle and Morey hurriedly left. Without needing to investigate, Su Xiao knew these two were always ready to flee.

These two preparing to flee was quite normal. However, Su Xiao had already stipulated in the contract signed with them: if, during cooperation, due to irresistible forces, Morey and the Moon Apostle needed to leave this side, the Moon Apostle must dismiss all summoned creatures brought into this world; otherwise, her 85% assets would belong to Su Xiao, and her full attributes would be reduced by 30%.

Thus, even if the Moon Apostle fled, her summoned creatures would be reset to zero. As for re-summoning, she could do so freely, but the World Contention War had already reached this stage; if the Moon Apostle tried to rebuild now, it would already be too late.

On the surface, it seemed like a great victory, but in reality, it was not. This was merely a stage victory. Many events let Su Xiao faintly realize that this World Contention War might differ from past ones. The World Core generating the world coordinates had only half a piece, indicating many problems.

If Su Xiao's guess were correct, the formation of world coordinates three days later would not be the end of the World Contention War, but merely its beginning.

However, this was only Su Xiao's guess, but precautions were still necessary, lest the situation truly develop into such tragedy.

Thinking this way, continued development would certainly not be wrong. Since the war zone was sealed, they could not pass the western border, let alone go to Free City to buy pig-headed people; now even the 'border gathering place' of the retinue was inaccessible.

The war zone encompassed a piece of the borderland and the mutated beast territory, forming a circular whole. Our fortress was located at the westernmost point of the war zone.

The vast eastern plains were left for the attacking side to set up tactics. Put simply, if they couldn't win, they had a place to run.

Enemy contractors still numbered over fifty. Su Xiao decided that after cleaning the battlefield, he would personally garrison the main fortress and leave 10,000 boar warriors there.

The rest would go to the eastern great plain, both to encircle and annihilate enemy contractors and to hunt all mutated beasts they could encounter.

This would both seek enemies and accumulate resources. Mining also needed to continue. Although they couldn't buy pig-headed people these three days, they could accumulate active ore; when the time came, buying a large batch of pig-headed people would boost their forces.

There was also something that needed to be urgently arranged: crafting the 'Sun Ring' to collect solar faith power.
