Before embarking on his journey to Quenching Road, Xu Shu only kept 50 Contribution Points on him.
The extra dozens of points ca from the reward for exterminating the Snake Servants of Xinglong Manor.
Except for the Snake Mother’s clone, which is a ’Dark Creature’, yielding no kill reward, the general Snake Servants did provide rewards—although all of them had consud the "Elevation Pill" infused with the Snake Mother’s breath. This gave them a certain degree of mutation but they still belonged to the "Alien Species".
"Speaking of which, I killed Edric and that Rashaim, both of whom were chosen by the Demon God. By rights, there should have been special rewards, so why didn’t they give them to ?"
Xu Shu frowned as he browsed through the "Battle Records" in the "System ssages".
He quickly discovered that the first "Battle Log" after arriving in Penglai District was from the Snake Cultivation at Xinglong Manor. Even earlier records showed only the previously killed ’Demon Hunting General’ Song Nanshou, and all the older ssages had expired and been cleared, yet there was still no information about the two Divine Chosen.
After so thought, Xu Shu could only give up in frustration, though he quickly guessed the reason: when he killed Edric, he was in the underground ruins, and when he killed Rashaim, the Promotion Drive wasn’t activated, and the "signal" was blocked.
In other words, he was out of contact with Lie Zhenzi at the ti.
The battle achievents were naturally "not counted afterward".
"Damn it, these Demon Chosen cost at least two million. I will avenge this sooner or later."
Xu Shu viciously caressed Alice’s green lace and poured out a pile of items with a clatter.
He looked very serious as he categorized these things into two portions.
One part was the loot from the Xinglong Manor raid, which included a considerable amount of cash and a pile of primarily white and green, with very few blue, Erosion Crystals, all of First Rank.
He had previously calculated the value, which added up to about six million in cash.
The other portion was shrouded in purple, and it was the most marketable item Xu Shu had on him now: Flawless Level Curse Crystals.
Among them, there were four First Rank Curse Crystals, two Second Rank Curse Crystals, and one Second-order Erosion Crystal—which was set aside for the materials needed to advance his alternate identity "Wang Teng" and his own Third Rank materials, which had long been listed separately to avoid mixing them up.
He thodically categorized all the information that could be sold, placed them neatly in front of him, took a deep breath, opened the private chat interface, and found an old trading friend, sending over a pop-up ssage.
The shopkeeper of "Pangu Machinery", Old Gang.
Speaking of Brother Gangzi, this person seed reliable, active year-round on the Ascension Network, advertising in the trading channel daily, and whenever Xu Shu reached out to him, he responded within minutes, almost like a robot that didn’t need rest or food.
This ti, Old Gang didn’t keep Xu Shu waiting long either, replying in less than three minutes.
"Hey, good evening, brother! Visiting so late at night, surely you have sothing good in mind for Old Gang? Let guess, could it be more Flawless Level Erosion Crystals?" —Old Gang from Pangu Machinery.
When chatting with him, Xu Shu used an "anonymous" identity, so Old Gang still didn’t know who was on the other end.
However, this didn’t hinder him from recognizing Xu Shu, as private chat ssages could always be retained.
"Boss Gang, I’ve brought so good stuff this ti." —Anonymous.
Having traded with Old Gang many tis, they always got along quite well, and the prices were fair, never letting Xu Shu suffer any losses.
Therefore, this ti Xu Shu didn’t beat around the bush either. He opened the virtual comrce platform of the Realm of Illusion and placed all the purple materials into it.
After scanning through the Ascension Network, Old Gang on the other end also saw the holographic images of these items, as if they were right in front of him.
As one purple crystal stone after another was placed into the ’scales’, Old Gang’s eyes went from calm at first to a bit delighted, and by the ti it was filled with layers of pure and rich purple, he couldn’t hold back and exclaid in shock:
"Brother, I’m sorry to ask, but did you secretly grab a baby cradle from so Alien Species noble’s court? So many First and Second Rank Flawless Crystals, such extravagance... Wait, this doesn’t seem like ordinary Erosion Crystals, could it be that this is..."
Xu Shu, slightly amused, said, "Old Gang, we’re old friends, is there still a need to put on this performance with ? These things are nice, sure, but they might not catch the eye of you, the great shopkeeper Gang, right?"
"Haha, what are you talking about, brother! To , you’re absolutely the best custor, no need to say more, you’re this!"
Brother Gang sent a thumbs-up emoji.
He continued, "Curse Crystals are quite rare, handling this many at once, brother, you’re taking good care of my business, no need to say more, my gratitude is heartfelt!"
"For the whole package, I’ll give you 2800, how about that for sincerity from your elder brother?"
"2800..."
Xu Shu rubbed his chin.
Actually, before coming over, he had estimated countless tis in his mind. Based on his previous trading experience with Old Gang, the total value of these materials was initially estimated at about 2700, and that was even estimating on the higher end.
Now, Brother Gang’s opening offer was 2800, directly exceeding his expectations by another 100 Contribution Points, which was indeed quite sincere.
Seeing this, Xu Shu felt quite satisfied.
He wasn’t the type to spend much ti on such matters, and since the other party was straightforward, he wouldn’t break the rules. The deal was thus imdiately settled.
