Chapter 349: Chapter 347 The Saintess is Greatly Shocked_1
“Really, truly just bringing the five thousand points, just, just, just to exchange for its seven days of usage rights?”
Shana stood up straight, her lips slightly parted, her eyes wide open, her ice-blue pure eyes filled with an undeniable shock.
According to the task “hint,” the other party had already given out the points!
Shana looked over the content of the task again to confirm it wasn’t fifty or five hundred but five thousand!
This…
This simply made no sense!
And both the task and her intuition were telling her that as long as she agreed, she could imdiately get her hands on this massive sum of money that she had never seen before in her lifeti!
“Not even the legacy left by the previous Saint Heir and Saintess amounted to that much.”
The Saintess murmured to herself, her face still sowhat distant.
She rembered, when she first got the parchnt, it still had so of the predecessors’ legacy on it.
These were the various tasks the predecessors completed, saving up as much as possible to leave for those who ca after them.
But all together, it was barely under three thousand…
It was only about half of what this seemingly ordinary and completely safe task offered.
Even for herself, after striving for ten or eight years and adding up all that she had used, it barely amounted to just over ten thousand, yet this very ordinary task was equal to half of her entire Saint career’s efforts…
This stark, blunt comparison caused her usually swift thinking to co to a halt.
Snap.
The sour and stiff black bread involuntarily fell to the ground.
Shaking her head, Shana ca back to her senses from the shock, bent down gently, picked up the black bread, wiped off the dust on it with a piece of clean cloth, then stored it in the Storage Room before looking at the parchnt task again.
“There couldn’t be… sothing wrong with it, right?”
Shana wore a doubtful expression.
The paynt for this task was completely disproportionate to what was being offered.
In the past, the largest inco she received from a task was two years ago when she entered an unknown world and hunted a part of a special intangible rule-based Ancient God creature.
In that battle, she had to face attacks from multiple mythical creatures and fight with the main enemy.
She eventually succeeded, but she also sustained severe injuries, nearly spending a month lying in bed resting.
And the inco from that was…
800 points.
Shana rembered coughing up blood every day but still being very happy because it nearly caught up to what she could earn in a year.
And this ti, rely lending sothing out for seven days could earn her such an amount.
To her, it was simply incomprehensible.
However, with the guarantee of the parchnt, she knew this was very likely real…
But after confirming that both the parchnt and her own judgnt were correct, Shana began to wonder if the “Bonfire” agent’s brain and sanity might have issues?
‘If he made such a decision due to so temporary problem with his brain, wouldn’t it be… sowhat unethical for
to take advantage of it?’
What if this was all he managed to save over a lifeti, and in a mont of irrationality, he traded it away, might he suffer a ntal breakdown after “sobering up”?
Shana gradually cald down.
This act of taking advantage of soone whose wisdom might be montarily weaker than normal didn’t seem quite right…
But… from that first glance observation earlier, his mind seed to be functioning normally, didn’t it?
Could it be that during the battle just now, she accidentally hit too hard and caused his brain to malfunction?
While she thought this, the large sum of points still greatly tempted her.
If she could get her hands on this fortune, she would have the chance to save even more people.
At this mont, as Shana hesitated, a voice ca from the side:
“Your Highness, what’s the matter?”
Shana turned to look back and saw a woman with blue short hair dressed in female armor.
This was her current First Knight, Helena’s sister, Dianas.
“I’m fine…”
Shana said, then seed to think of sothing. She patted a stone beside her, signaling for the other to co sit and began,
“Dianas, would you… If you t a friendly but irrational person, who had sothing you wanted, would you try to take advantage of their irrational state to acquire that necessary item?”
What kind of bizarre question was this? It was almost as strange as the previous one about whether to save many or save few with a single slap…
Unable to help it, Dianas murmured in her heart. She detested these kinds of brain teasers the most.
While pondering, Dianas glanced at Shana.
On the surface, Shana undoubtedly appeared saintly and beautiful, clad in simple yet elegant white with golden edges. Her pale golden hair was coiled behind her head, surrounded by a holy light, her deanor gentle. Just sitting there, she seed like a beautiful painting crafted by a divine hand.
However, upon closer inspection, beneath this superficial gleam, lay an extrely gaunt girl who was still beautiful, but with scarcely any flesh on her face, and pale skin that seed stretched over bones—
If she were any thinner, she could be described as a skeleton blessed by the holy light.
Dianas rembered that ever since Shana had entered the disaster area over half a year ago, she had scarcely eaten anything.
To the point that, at this mont, the saint herself looked so emaciated that it was disconcerting.
No matter how frail and weak her body was, her eyes shone as bright as ever, flickering with the sa pure and kind aura that had made people involuntarily revere her at first sight.
It was only now, nearly able to leave this hazardous area and seeing that there was surplus, that the saint began to eat a bit.
Yet, for so unknown reason, she saw the saintess’s light flicker, standing there confused, even forgetting to maintain her facade, seemingly witnessing sothing incredibly shocking.
Worried, Dianas approached.
“Dianas?” Seeing her silent, Shana spoke up.
“Ah… Regarding your question…”
Dianas tried her best to exercise her mind, aiming to provide a sensible explanation.
After a while, Colin, who was far on the other side, finally received a response.
“Decide whether to agree to the trade after three days if nothing changes?”
Colin watched ‘The Light Chaser’ fade away, his ‘Shield of Fairness Adjudication’ taken by another, confused in his heart.
He felt that ‘The Light Chaser’ must have agreed, but the agreent wasn’t very decisive.
There might be variables.
However, the other party didn’t ntion the Bone Spur this ti…
‘Could it be that the points offered were too low?’ Colin wondered if it was possible. The right to use a powerful Golden Artifact could be employed to take the enemy’s head in a multitude of armies. And his next promotion task involved those forr D Level employees from the ‘Ghost Train.’
If unlucky, he might even encounter that C Level.
With this item, perhaps he could overco each one and avoid a lot of trouble…
So, to say 5000 points— even 10000 points wouldn’t be unacceptable.
Initially, Colin started with 3000 points, rely wanting to leave room for bargaining, but unexpectedly, just as the negotiation reached half the psychological expectation, the “seller” suddenly went “offline” due to a network interruption.
They waited quite so ti to reconnect, only to say that the trade would proceed after three days.
Colin raised his hand, looking at the bonfire burning beside him, stroked his chin, “Does this imply that the points I’m offering now are too low and he’s not satisfied? Suggesting I should figure it out?”
Of course, Colin, who was considering how to appropriately raise his offer, couldn’t possibly imagine at that mont; his upfront offering of five thousand points had dramatically shocked ‘The Light Chaser’, who was now suspecting him of being a fool…
So much so that he needed to leave three days open to properly calm down.
