Chapter 20

Two days later, Xiao Yu returned to the Southeast Military Region Supply Base, claimed his small townhouse T1665 Villa, rested for a night, then arrived at the monster material purchase shop at the Supply Base carrying three backpacks.

"Sir, we have 92 Primary Beast General Rank monsters, 5 Intermediate Beast General Rank materials, and 3 High-level Beast General Rank materials." A procurement manager surnamed Wang at the Extreme Martial Hall Shop said, looking at the mountain of monster materials, "The total price is fifteen hundred million."

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Fine, this is my account."

"Mr. Xiao, the fifteen hundred million Huaxia Currency has been transferred." Manager Wang handed over a card and added, "This is my business card; next time you sell materials you can contact me directly."

Xiao Yu nodded and walked out of the shop.

This time he earned fifteen hundred million Huaxia Currency in just half a month, far more efficient than before.

That's true; in this world, the stronger one is, the easier it is to acquire wealth.

Xiao Yu had a simple lunch at a restaurant, then went to a shopping street that sells all kinds of goods; although prices are several times higher than items in the base market, compared with the round‑trip train fare and the time required, it's not a big deal. He purchased some necessities and then returned to the T1665 Villa to rest for a night.

The next day he returned to City 003 and continued hunting monsters.

Two days later, Xiao Yu arrived at Wanke Fantasy City; this time, just on the road he killed nearly a hundred Beast Soldier Rank monsters, three Primary Beast General Rank monsters, and earned 4,650 Wish Points.

Previously, all monsters around the temporary base had been killed by Xiao Yu; in less than a week, even when monsters re‑entered, their numbers were few.

Around dusk, Xiao Yu entered Building 0562, fighting his way from the first floor up to the twenty‑eighth floor, slaying nearly forty Beast Soldier Rank monsters and two Primary Beast General Rank monsters, devouring them to obtain 2,500 Wish Points.

On the twentieth floor, he chose a relatively intact room as a temporary base and stored some necessities there.

A silent night passed; the next morning.

Xiao Yu stood on the balcony of the twenty‑seventh floor, took out a telescope, and surveyed the surroundings.

In a distant residential building, the corners were covered with mossy vines. Yet on those vines lay a massive python about waist‑wide and roughly twenty‑plus meters long; its body bore nearly parallel black line patterns, and the lines grew thicker toward the head.

At the foremost part of the giant python, two triangular heads split off, each with a slight bulge on the forehead.

It is the highly poisonous "Black Line" among serpentine monsters, specifically the mutated "Double-headed Black Line Snake."

Moreover, it is about to sprout horns and become a jiao.

This is a High-level Beast General Rank, approaching Lord Rank.

Xiao Yu also inhaled a cold breath; this guy is not to be trifled with!

The Double-headed Black Line Snake is extremely dangerous; its venomous fangs are highly toxic, and any bite is certain death! Even a War God cannot avoid it.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and decided to kill the creature; its venom is strong, but as long as he avoids being bitten, it's manageable, especially since his power is now 3.5 times normal, with strength and speed surpassing that of an average Primary War God.

He rushed down the stairs toward the Double-headed Black Line Snake; any monsters he passed, whether Beast Soldier Rank, Primary Beast General Rank, or Intermediate Beast General Rank, were casually slain, with only some important materials kept and the rest converted into Wish Points in the system.

A hundred meters from the Double-headed Black Line Snake, Xiao Yu accelerated, moving at full speed and reaching 195 m/s, generating a massive airflow disturbance.

The Double-headed Black Line Snake also sensed Xiao Yu and lunged toward him. At the moment they met, Xiao Yu powered his left foot, leapt, and applied four successive bursts of force, instantly reaching a height of four meters in front of the snake's left head, while his right‑hand Silver Moon Battle Knife thrust toward the snake's eye.

"Puff~" The Silver Moon Battle Knife emitted an explosive sound with two consecutive accelerations.

"Sss~" The Double-headed Black Line Snake let out an angry hiss; in an instant, its left head made a dodging motion!

Under the Four-layer Nine-layer Thunder Blade, Xiao Yu's battle knife speed had reached supersonic; over a half‑meter distance it could arrive in one‑thousandth of a second. Even so, the Double-headed Black Line Snake managed to evade, showing how fast its neural response is.

However, with limited time, it only avoided by less than three centimeters.

Xiao Yu seemed to have anticipated the snake's dodge; the Silver Moon Battle Knife accelerated twice more, clinging tightly to its eye.

A flash of cold light; the Silver Moon Battle Knife pierced the left head's eye and entered the skull, with dark‑green blood streaming out.

Xiao Yu's body continued soaring upward, only descending after leaping dozens of meters.

"Sss~" The Double-headed Black Line Snake hissed angrily; its left head had been heavily damaged by Xiao Yu, and destroying the right head would kill the creature.

After two consecutive hisses, the Double-headed Black Line Snake turned and fled.

When Xiao Yu landed, the snake had already fled several hundred meters away, its blood spraying along the way.

After landing, Xiao Yu chased quickly; the Double-headed Black Line Snake was coiling around the exterior wall of the residential building.

Reaching the ground floor, Xiao Yu powered his legs, leapt with four bursts of force, and surged toward the snake's right head like a cannonball.

Xiao Yu's upward rush was so fast that he slammed against the snake's body while soaring upward.

His right‑hand Silver Moon Battle Knife slashed the snake's body, accelerating four times, instantly cutting the scales.

Chich~~

It left only a streak of white marks, and the battle knife was ejected.

Xiao Yu arced through the air and arrived at a floor above the Double-headed Black Line Snake.

Seeing no escape, the snake launched a deadly pursuit toward Xiao Yu; the remaining head chased his silhouette, even entering the building, shattering any glass, iron doors, and even walls it encountered.

Xiao Yu concealed himself behind a load‑bearing wall, carefully watching the snake's trajectory, and struck a fatal blow the instant it approached.

After four accelerations, the Silver Moon Battle Knife, like a phantom accompanied by an explosive sound, pierced the right head's eye and pierced the skull.

The snake's upper body twitched and convulsed for a long while before collapsing, dark‑green blood gushing out.

The most valuable materials on the snake are its venom sacs, scales, and gallbladders.

This Double-headed Black Line Snake is worth the price of four equal‑rank Black Line Snakes! A Black Line Snake about to become a jiao costs around 400 million, so this one can sell for 1.6 billion.

The price of just this one Double-headed Black Line Snake nearly matches the earnings of the previous ten days.

Pack the dissected monster materials into the backpack.

Xiao Yu looked at the remaining monster corpses and silently thought, "System, devour the Double-headed Black Line Snake corpse."

【Absorb Double-headed Black Line Snake corpse, gain 1,600 Wish Points.】

After killing this Double-headed Black Line Snake, Xiao Yu began his monster‑clearing journey; for five straight days he cleared all monsters within a five‑hundred‑meter radius of the temporary base, earning 60,000 Wish Points and numerous Beast General Rank monster materials.

After five consecutive days of killing, Xiao Yu felt somewhat fatigued; after resting a night, he decided to continue strengthening himself in this wilderness.

"System fulfills the First Wish."

【First Wish: body quality reaches Apprentice Seventh Rank, in progress…】

Apprentice Seventh Rank, i. e., Primary War God Rank, with a standard punch force of 64,000 kg and speed of 340 m/s.

Surges of energy flow into his body, reshaping and optimizing his genes, enhancing his physique, strength, speed, and neural reaction speed.

It took a full ten minutes for the body quality upgrade to complete.

【Wish already realized.】

"System checking wish status."

【Host: Xiao Yu】

【First Wish: Double genetic multiplier (100 Wish Copper Coin)】

【Second Wish: None】

【Third Wish: None】

【Remaining Wish Points: 160600 points】

"System sets Second Wish to body quality reaching Apprentice Eighth Rank."

【Setting successful!】

【Second Wish: Body quality reaches Apprentice Eighth Rank (64000 Wish Points).】

"System sets Third Wish to obtain a Space Ring."

【Setting successful!】

【Third Wish: Obtain a Space Ring (5 Wish Copper Coin).】

Xiao Yu did not expect that a Space Ring would only require 50,000 Wish Points, which is completely mismatched with the value of obtaining Purple Light Dew that needs 10,000 Wish Points.

But since it can be picked up, why not?

"System fulfills Third Wish, obtaining a Space Ring."

【Wish Points already consumed!】

【In progress…】

Human Seventh Battlefield, countless Human Race Universe-level, Domain Lords, Realm Lords, Immortal Divine Spirits and Demon Race elites continuously clash across the battlefield's various zones.

A White-robed Realm Lord with thunder‑electric inscriptions on his forehead, leading seven veteran Domain Lords, hid in the Fragmented Star Belt; in the distance, a group of five Alien Tribe elites were constantly searching, their height ranging between 16 meters and 20 meters,

All were clad in heavy battle armor.

Their upper bodies resembled human torsos.

Their lower halves were reptilian, with six stout hooved claws and a scaly tail; the entire body, including the upper half, was covered in blue‑green scales.

They were Leiquan Tribe members.

These five Leiquan Tribe were led by a Realm Lord of Domain Lord Level.

The Human Race White-robed Realm Lord initiated the attack, shaping his right hand into a claw and snapping forward; instantly a massive beast claw materialized in the cosmic void, lunging toward the five Leiquan Tribe.

The five Leiquan Tribe each gathered their internal thunder‑electric abilities to resist the attack; though weaker than the Human Race Realm Lord, they barely held.

In a moment, the five Leiquan Tribe scattered in all directions to evade.

However, one Domain Lord‑level Leiquan Tribe member was slightly slower, got hit, and died from that single strike.

"Huh?" The Human Race White-robed Realm Lord, after a casual move, found his hand empty, then looked at the floating Thunder Electric Tribe's finger in space—empty as well.

"Just now I clearly saw that Thunder Electric Tribe's finger wearing a Space Ring! Why did it suddenly disappear?" the Human Race White-robed Realm Lord muttered in confusion.

Though this Leiquan Tribe individual was only Domain Lord‑level, the items inside might not be valuable, yet there could be some Thunder Electric Tribe specialty products.

【Wish already realized!】

【Item ready for delivery, please select drop location.】

"System, deliver the Space Ring directly into my palm."

After a flash of dazzling light, in Xiao Yu's upward‑facing palm appeared an ancient‑looking ring.

"Is this the Space Ring?"
