Chapter 18: Mutual Reinforcement
Inside a restaurant on Central Street in Fog City.
At the dining table, Amu was devouring food with gusto, while Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Baha weren't eating slowly either. If they ate too slowly, all the food on the table would be devoured by Amu. When eating, Amu was utterly ruthless, showing no regard for anyone. The only thing it dared not snatch was the food in front of Su Xiao; everything else was grabbed by its big hands and gone in an instant.
Finishing the fruit wine in his cup, Su Xiao let out a long breath. Bubu Wang's negotiation with the wealthy merchant had gone smoothly. Although the merchant looked a bit strange when he realized a dog was negotiating with him, after seeing various approvals and documents, he took out the hunter's relic stored in his safe.
Having struggled in Fog City's business world until now, the wealthy merchant was certainly not stupid. The Rhine Kingdom's attitude toward him, almost like a favored son, had felt abnormal to him since his youth. Maritime transport approvals that others couldn't secure for years were obtained by him within twenty minutes of applying at 7 AM. Moreover, he was specifically told not to publicize the matter.
Today, the wealthy merchant finally understood the reason. But if he didn't want his entire family to die in a Dark Demon attack, he would have to keep this secret buried in his stomach forever.
Su Xiao checked the items in his team space and quickly found a hunter's relic.
[Holy Hunter Relic]
Type: Identity Token
Equip Effect: Heartless (Passive), Soul Strength +10 points.
Equip Requirement: Watch Guild Old Hunter or above.
Introduction: Sorry, my children, I cannot stay by your side. There are too many misfortunes in the night that I must prevent — Smollett Temple (Killed in Action, Awakening Era, Year 1622).
Selling Price: 1120 points of World Reputation.
The second God Hunter relic was obtained. There were still three left within the Rhine Kingdom, and only one remained in Fog City where Su Xiao was — with the pianist.
Su Xiao planned to visit the pianist tonight. The reason was that if he went now, Nightmare wouldn't be able to gather the Dark Demons, rendering all his subsequent plans useless and preventing him from acquiring too many Soul Coins.
Leaving the restaurant, Su Xiao temporarily stayed at a hotel on the same street. The cost was not low, but fortunately, the Watch Guild provided financial subsidies.
Inside the clean and bright room, although it wasn't yet evening, the lights were already on. The fog outside the window was simply too thick.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Xiao checked his World Reputation. He currently had 236 points. If he sold two God Hunter relics, he could reach 2456 points.
Su Xiao planned to sell one first, pushing his World Reputation past a thousand to unlock all purchasable items and titles. The remaining God Hunter relic would be kept for emergencies.
