Chapter 3386: Washing away previous shame (Revised)

~16 min read 3,181 words

Border area, inside Warehouse 2 near the base camp, Beni, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, and a batch of pig-headed people teleported over at the same time.

Hundreds of wild boar warriors were maintaining order. After the pig-headed people were teleported over, they first entered a mountain tunnel, entered the residential area, took a bath there, had a full meal, and then entered from the back door of the fortress, then went up to the second floor and entered the Evolution Nest.

Beni jumped nimbly on the shoulders of the pig-headed people. Only after ten minutes did it arrive at the fortress. It came to the alchemy laboratory on the top floor of the fortress and placed a list on the experimental table.

Su Xiao put down a metal egg that was mostly completed in his hand and picked up the list to check.

Seeing the numbers above, Su Xiao looked at Beni. The reason was that Beni bought 196,000 pig-headed people with 3,901 units of active ore.

Calculated this way, the price of one pig-headed person was about 1.99 kilograms of active ore, which was cheaper than the price of buying directly in Freedom City, not to mention the expenses brought by subsequent networking and large-scale teleportation.

"Did Caesar lose money, or Azba?"

Su Xiao could be sure that in this transaction, either Caesar or Azba must have lost money, otherwise the price wouldn't match.

"Meow!"

Beni's meow paw pressed on the table, and it raised its head to show anger. Its meaning was: 'That goblin, all the benefits were taken by it, it deserves to lose money.'

Su Xiao looked at Beni with surprise. Having known Caesar for so long, he really hadn't seen Caesar lose money. This time, he really saw it.

Su Xiao was strange before why the selling price of items in the trading street in Reincarnation Paradise had been higher recently, about 8-10% higher than the price he sold items before.

Now it seemed that the market price wasn't high; it was Beni's selling price of items that could earn 10% more than Su Xiao's selling.

Su Xiao and Beni's selling methods were different. When Su Xiao sold items, he followed one principle: set the price about 3% lower than the market price, buy if you want, and go cool off if you don't.

Beni set the stall price 15% higher than the market price. For those popular goods, such as high-score immortal-level equipment, it would contact the dozen or so chambers of commerce it knew. If a chamber of commerce took a fancy to it, it would sell it quickly at a price 8-9% higher than the market price, so as not to suddenly have no soul coins while Su Xiao was in the skill upgrade warehouse, right in the middle of ability improvement.

There was a reason why the chambers of commerce were willing to purchase at this price. When Reed collected materials and so on, he would often ask Beni to help bridge the gap. The chamber of commerce valued this, and also because, even if they purchased at a price 8-9% higher than the market price, they could still earn about 4-6% by finding corresponding clients to sell.

For goods that the chambers of commerce were unwilling to collect, Beni would sell them at a price 10% higher than the market price. If it really couldn't sell them, it would go to the chambers of commerce again and use the popular goods reserved in advance to package and handle other items that were difficult to sell.

Selling materials also required talent. Su Xiao didn't need to mention his selling of items. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could fall asleep while selling, Am would stare straight at whoever bargained, and Baja could spray with the buyer.

Beni was very capable of selling items in Reincarnation Paradise. However, in the mission world, it couldn't do this. Benefits were certainly the first priority, but every link in this chain was a crime enough to lose one's life.

If it wasn't profitable enough, who would be willing to do these things? Su Xiao never thought he had the ability to convince others to be his little brother with just a few words.

Taking out the communicator, he dialed Caesar's number. A few seconds later, the communication was connected.

"My dear friend, what's the matter?"

"You and Azba come to the fortress tonight."

"Let him go to the fortress? This isn't good, is it?"

Caesar's tone was a bit hesitant.

"As long as Azba isn't stupid to the extreme, he will notice something tonight."

"That makes sense. Alright, I'll bring him to the Sun Fortress in the evening. If there's nothing else, I'll end the communication first."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao looked at the communicator in his hand and waited for a few seconds. Caesar still didn't hang up on that side.

"Caesar, is there any news about the Awakening Stone I want?"

Su Xiao had previously entrusted Caesar to help find the 【Awakening Stone】. Only with that thing could the "Shadow - Magic Blade" ability of Dragon Flash be awakened.

"There is news, but it can't be confirmed yet."

"Is that so? When you come to the fortress tonight, I'll pay you half the reward in advance."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette. This transaction before was to exchange 3,000 grams of Black Maple Tree branches for the 【Awakening Stone】. However, these 3,000 grams of Black Maple Tree branches were produced by the Arcane Eternal Star.

"My dear friend, how can I be embarrassed, hehehe."

Caesar's cheap laughter came.

"How much active ore did you lose this time?"

"Didn't lose, didn't lose, all small problems."

Caesar's iconic treacherous laughter came from the communicator. Su Xiao hung up the communicator and placed it on the table. Human relationships are just like this.

Su Xiao didn't know Beni's personality? Didn't know Beni would ruthlessly slaughter Caesar? Of course... he knew. The current situation was critical, and he was about to go to war with the clans. He needed to quickly improve his own troop strength.

Su Xiao couldn't do this thing, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, and Am couldn't do it either. Only Beni could do it. It often opened the orphan mode in the mission world. Caesar hadn't seen it in the mission world, only met it in Reincarnation Paradise, knowing it was Su Xiao's permanent summon.

With Caesar's treacherous degree, would it be slaughtered? The answer was, even if it was Beni, it couldn't slaughter Caesar. The price reduction on that side was also because the situation was critical.

Some things didn't need to be made very clear. Afterward, saying it was a misunderstanding, but both sides knew it clearly, was enough. Everything was unspoken. This time the opposite side suffered a loss, next time the opposite side must be allowed to share more benefits.

Now a total of 196,000 pig-headed people were sent over one after another. The Evolution Nest could transform 120,000 soldier-type units a day. With such efficiency, it wouldn't take long for the number of wild boar warriors to break through 300,000.

By then, he could teach the clans a good lesson on what "group-fighting tactics" was. Although this tactic was simple, it had stunned many famous generals.

There was also good news: the "Sun Power" that the Evolution Nest could endow would not consume additional active ore during the period.

The source of sun power was absorbed by the part of the Evolution Nest that extended outside the fortress. In most native worlds, the best energy to absorb was sun power. As long as there was sunlight, it could be absorbed at will.

Near evening, Su Xiao dialed another number, which was Li Siniwei. The news he got was that nothing happened there.

Su Xiao hung up the communication, thinking about whether the other party's statement was true. A few days ago, Hunting Tide was attacked in "Loyash," where the Tribunal was located. The reason was that a team of Saint Light Paradise contractors suspected that Hunting Tide was a summon of an Apocalypse Paradise contractor.

The Saint Light Paradise team dared to do this, representing that they had already regarded "Loyash" as their own territory. To do this, one of two conditions must be met: 1. All high-level members of the Tribunal have been controlled, 2. Cooperation has been reached with the Tribunal.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't offend the Tribunal in the situation of fighting a world contention. In other words, Saint Light Paradise had reached a cooperative relationship with the Tribunal.

Saint Poetry was the leader of Saint Light Paradise in this contention. In this way, if cooperation was reached with the Tribunal, Saint Poetry must occupy a very important position in it.

After these conditions were combined, Saint Poetry suffered setbacks in the border area. She was very likely to rush back to the Tribunal at the fastest speed to explain the situation to the high-level members there and make this matter a big deal.

The wider the matter spread, the harder the three major clan forces would be slapped in the face, the more troops they would send to crusade against the Sun Fortress, and the faster they would send troops.

Under such circumstances, how could Saint Poetry not return to "Loyash" to seek help? In order to leave her time to rush, Su Xiao specifically waited until evening to contact Li Siniwei's side.

The result was that nothing happened.

This answer couldn't satisfy people, or Li Siniwei's true identity was exposed, or Li Siniwei was probing. That guy was very capable, but not very honest. The possibility of probing was greater.

Su Xiao put down the communicator and looked at Baja.

"Understood, I'll go now."

Baja integrated into the space. Without verbal communication, it already knew what Su Xiao asked it to do: find out what was going on with Li Siniwei's side, or kill or save.

Just as Baja integrated into the environment, the communicator on the table began to vibrate. After Su Xiao connected, it was Li Siniwei.

"Bai Ye... Lord, just now I seemed to be monitored, now it's fine, this morning a few people came to the Tribunal, saying the border area..."

Li Siniwei in the communicator explained the day's events clearly.

After Su Xiao hung up the communication, Baja detached from the different space and asked: "Boss, how to deal with this? This guy is frantically probing on the edge of death."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Last time it was like this. The other party used subsequent actions to make the situation killable or not killable, and keeping it was still useful.

Once was a coincidence, twice was not. This made Su Xiao think, did Li Siniwei have something that could predict danger, or did the other party have this kind of ability.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang walked into the command center, meaning Caesar and slave merchant Azba had arrived.

A moment later, slave merchant Azba, whose face was ugly to the extreme, walked into the room. He was still in a suit + small round sunglasses, pot-bellied despite being a dwarf.

"Sit."

Su Xiao signaled Azba not to be polite. Azba sat opposite, looked at the tea poured by the servant, not to mention drinking, even the teacup didn't touch. This guy should also be a frequent user of poison.

"Kuku Lin Bai Ye, you really do big business."

Azba sneered. After arriving at the Sun Fortress and seeing the numerous wild boar warriors, he understood everything. Selling pig-headed people to the human side, bullshit! All the pig-headed people he sold, as long as they weren't dead, should all be here.

"Your business in Freedom City won't last long. It might be tonight, or it might be tomorrow morning, the pig-headed people trade will be called off."

Su Xiao said while taking a sip of light tea.

"So what? At most, I won't do slave business anymore. I have already earned wealth that I can't spend in several lifetimes."

Azba continued to sneer. He smiled like this, his face was a bit stiff.

"You have talent in this area, just like you like to visit prostitutes everywhere. For you, this is not just business, but also a hobby and fun."

Speaking of this, Su Xiao paused, then continued: "Azba, why not let the Sun Fortress be your backing? You give up the business in Freedom City, go to the human side to continue doing pig-headed people business, how many pig-headed people you receive, I buy how many? How about it?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Azba became expressionless and said: "You think beautifully!"

"Azba, you have already sold me hundreds of thousands of pig-headed people. If the Clan Alliance knows about this, what will their high-level members do?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Azba's cheek twitched fiercely.

"Kuku Lin Bai Ye, I, Azba, will not betray the clans..."

Azba became more excited as he spoke. Am on the side couldn't listen anymore. It took out the Dragon Heart Axe, pressed Azba's head with a large hand, bang, pressed Azba's head on the table, raised the axe and was about to chop off Azba's head. Am was a typical cow who was ruthless and didn't talk much.

"I... I want 40%!"

Azba immediately softened. It could only be said that Caesar's judgment of people was really accurate. This was also the reason why Caesar chose Azba as a partner at the beginning.

Azba and Caesar left the fortress overnight, returned to Freedom City, and prepared for the subsequent running away.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. Everything was still the same as before. There was calm on the clan side. Not only did they not send a single soldier, but they didn't even send scouts to the border area.

This situation was too abnormal, making people suspect whether the most aggressive "Clan Alliance" among the three major clan forces had already secretly mobilized troops to raid the border area with thunderous momentum, and in a way that shocked those small and medium-sized forces, to raze the Sun Fortress to the ground.

Although the situation was surging, the development of the Sun Fortress didn't stop for a moment. When the active ore stored by Su Xiao was about to be exhausted, his own development slowed down.

In the mountain spaces connected one by one, wild boar warriors stood or sat, some half-knelt on the ground, bowing their heads and praying silently.

The number of wild boar warriors on his side reached an unprecedented 337,592, and the warriors who could transform into heavy tanks also reached 30. All five bonus effects of the War Lord were triggered.

Inside the first floor of the fortress, Su Xiao looked at the time. It was almost midnight at twelve o'clock. The enemy still had no action. In another half an hour, if the enemy had no action, he would take the initiative.

The number of wild boar warriors had exceeded 300,000. Su Xiao opened the reward list that had popped up once before and chose the four-star title 【Sun Lord】.

There was already quite a bit of faith power - sun in the "Sun Ring." After dealing with the current situation, he would try to use the faith power to upgrade the star rating of 【Sun Lord】.

【Announcement (Tree of the Void): Detected that the change in the pattern within this world has met the prerequisite requirements for historical-level events.】

【Historical-level event: Sun Faction VS Clan Faction.】

【Sun Faction: Kuku Lin Bai Ye (Hunter).】

【Clan Faction: Golden Count, Saint Poetry, Orandi... (The personnel list of this faction does not calculate the natives of this world).】

【After the historical-level event is opened, it will significantly increase the acquisition probability of titles, and regularly open the title shop (need to first improve the exchange level of the title shop by killing enemies, occupying important areas, etc., and subsequently be able to purchase titles in the title shop by consuming soul coins at a 65% discount).】

【Only after triggering the historical-level event will the title shop have a probability of appearing and giving high discounts.】

【This title shop is a shared system for both enemy and us. If the enemy exchanges a title with a quantity of 1, we will not be able to exchange this title, and vice versa.】

Seeing these announcements, Su Xiao was very interested in the title shop. For him, titles were certainly the more the better. Now the War Lord was a seven-star title. If he got a few more seven-star titles and upgraded the War Lord to an eight-star title, the strength improvement could be imagined.

However, this title shop was first come, first served. High-star titles shouldn't be many, and all had inventory limits. In other words, if Su Xiao's exchange level was high enough, and he exchanged for high-star titles, the enemy could only envy and hate.

Outside the fortress, the stars filled the sky, and a full moon hung high in the sky.

Located outside the border area, figures walked quickly. They were Golden Count, Saint Poetry, Orandi, and others.

With Reincarnation Paradise participating in the war, Apocalypse Paradise and Saint Light Paradise were extra united. This time, Watcher Paradise joined, and they were just as united. In fact, they couldn't afford not to be united.

At this moment, Golden Count, Saint Poetry, Orandi, and others were all holding the determination to win. Unlike last time, this time they would not be surrounded. The "Clan Alliance," as an aggressive force, learned of the situation in the border area and verified the situation here, immediately mobilized soldiers from several garrisons, plus troops near the border, totaling 200,000 clan soldiers.

It wasn't that the "Clan Alliance" underestimated the enemy. After learning the number and combat situation of the wild boar warriors, they originally wanted to mobilize 100,000 soldiers to wipe out the Sun Fortress. Now it was for stability, so they mobilized 200,000 clan soldiers. This could also be seen that the "Clan Alliance" had much confidence in the soldiers under their command, or rather, after fighting with humans for so many years, the average combat power of the soldiers was there. The "Clan Alliance" should have this confidence.

Orandi, with bandages wrapped around his head, walked at the very front. He hadn't had such an excited mood for a long time. This feeling of imminent revenge was really refreshing.

"There won't be any problems this time, right."

Saint Poetry's eyes showed worry. She was a bit autistic from the Bai Ye-style legion flow last time.

"No."

Golden Count spoke in a deep voice, and Hao Mei on the side immediately said:

"How could there be problems? 200,000 clan soldiers against those wild boar warriors who have no other advantages except being resistant to beating, plus us contractors, the gap in hard power. I can't even think of how to lose."
