Chapter 78: Lucky King Possession
Su Xiao urgently needed World Core Fragments, as they were crucial to the growth rate of the Black Maple Tree. Before returning to his Exclusive Room, he first went near the Trade Market.
Before long, a Necromancer girl wearing a soft gray round-top hat walked toward him. Her hat was too distinctive, with a diameter of at least over a meter, and it drooped down somewhat limply, making one wonder if she could even see where she was going while walking.
"You didn't die in the mission world. Congratulations and felicitations."
The Necromancer girl gave a slight smile, uttering a blessing that sounded rather awkward to hear.
"Don't you dare die."
"..."
"If you die, there won't be any sugar daddy buying World Core Fragments anymore."
"How many pieces do you have?"
Su Xiao was more concerned with how many World Core Fragments the Necromancer girl had obtained this time.
"10 pieces. Buying them all?"
"Mm."
"5500 Soul Coins."
As the Necromancer girl said this, she pushed up her soft hat, revealing a pair of dark green eyes filled with longing. It was hard to imagine that someone with such eyes would show such a yearning gaze.
"5000."
Su Xiao spoke calmly. He was certain the Necromancer girl would be willing to sell the 10 World Core Fragments for 5000 Soul Coins.
"No way. At least 5300 Soul Coins."
"4500."
"5000 Soul Coins. Deal."
The Necromancer girl raised her hand, holding a handful of World Core Fragments.
The transaction went smoothly. After receiving the Soul Coins, the Necromancer girl couldn't help but break into a smile. She had gathered these 10 World Core Fragments from other Necromancers, promising them 400 Soul Coins each. She netted a profit of 1000 Soul Coins! Enough for her few permanent summons to feast for several meals.
"If I get any other good stuff in the future, I'll definitely sell it to you. Don't you dare die on me."
"..."
Su Xiao took the 10 World Core Fragments and headed toward his Exclusive Room. This transaction signified one thing: he now had a stable channel for World Core Fragments. The Necromancer contractors the girl knew were all willing to sell this item.
Although there wouldn't be this many in the future, there should still be a steady trickle.
Pushing open the door to his Exclusive Room, Amu and Baha weren't there. Beini was crouched in front of the bed, an ice cream paper bucket stuck on her head, her sharp little claws extended as she stared intently under the bed, her tail bristled.
Bubu Wang was hiding under the bed. In the confined space, he wasn't afraid of Beini. But outside, he would be continuously kited and scratched badly.
Ignoring the standoff between Bubu Wang and Beini, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed. It was time to open the treasure chests he had obtained and then enhance his own strength.
He had obtained many treasure chests this time in the Demon Sea World. Among them, 4 Scarlet Cards and 2 Epic Chests were handed over to Bubu Wang and Beini to open. Su Xiao had never been very interested in Scarlet Cards.
"Meow!"
"Woof."
Bubu Wang and Beini temporarily called a truce and began opening the Scarlet Cards.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Xiao lit a cigarette. The Lucky King status had been successfully applied, temporarily raising his Luck Attribute to 47 points. After opening a few chests, the Accumulated Luck (Passive) effect would trigger, further increasing his Luck Attribute by 10 points.
Su Xiao picked up three Holy Spirit Chests. He started with a triple open to build up luck. As soon as the chests opened, a blinding golden light burst forth.
[You have opened Holy Spirit Chest ×3.]
[You have obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) ×6.]
[You have obtained Strange Monocular Telescope (Epic).]
[You have obtained Soul Gathering Sculpture (Immortal Rank Item).]
[You have obtained Sweat-Stained Headband (No Grade Item).]
...
Su Xiao tossed a dirty headband aside. This opening of Holy Spirit Chests was a massive stroke of luck.
Could an Immortal Rank item be obtained from a Holy Spirit Chest? The answer was yes, but the probability was very low. Among the three Holy Spirit Chests, one had a purity of 98%. That was the one that flashed, yielding an Immortal Rank item.
Su Xiao first picked up the [Strange Monocular Telescope] and checked its attributes.
[Strange Monocular Telescope]
Quality: Epic
Category: Special Equipment
Durability: 19/19 points
Equipment Requirement: Intelligence 5 points.
Equipment Effect: Life and Death Wandering (Passive): By observing distant enemies through this monocular telescope, after 10 seconds of observation, the enemy will be locked.
Tip: After locking is complete, the next ranged attack will track the enemy, with a guaranteed hit effect.
Tip: The maximum visible distance of this monocular telescope is 500 meters.
Warning: While observing an enemy through this monocular telescope, you will definitely be sensed by the enemy, attracting a massive amount of aggro.
Rating: 650 points
Introduction: A very magical monocular telescope. By observing enemies through it, you will find the enemies getting closer and closer.
Price: 325,000 Paradise Coins.
...
Su Xiao looked at the [Strange Monocular Telescope]. The introduction had a lot of soul. By observing enemies through this thing, they would be instantly enraged and charge toward the equipment holder. Wasn't that exactly getting closer and closer?
[Soul Gathering Sculpture]
Origin: Demon Sea (Unique)
Quality: Immortal Rank
Type: Permanent Enhancement Item.
Effect: Consuming this item permanently increases the level of Soul-type skills.
Rating: 1390 points (Immortal Rank item rating is 1000~1500 points)
Introduction: This sculpture seems to emit the singing sound of souls. Listening to this song with a calm heart will yield unexpected gains.
Selling Price: 920 Soul Coins.
...
This was a good item. Su Xiao's "Soul Gaze" ability was a Soul-type skill. As long as Su Xiao suffered a control effect, the "Soul Gaze" ability would activate. It was currently at Lv.70. He wondered how much it could be raised through the [Soul Gathering Sculpture].
The three Holy Spirit Chests had yielded a pleasant surprise. Su Xiao picked up the Immortal Chest dropped by the West Sea King. Among the three Immortal Chests, this one had the lowest purity.
[You have opened Immortal Chest (12%).]
[You have obtained Elixir of Forgetfulness (Holy Spirit Rank · Rum).]
[Elixir of Forgetfulness: A unique rum from the Demon Sea. Only one bottle remains in this world. Even those with extremely strong constitutions will get drunk after drinking it. It is said that after drinking it, one can forget all worries in their heart, living in a drunken stupor.]
...
Su Xiao looked at the rum in his hand. Only this one bottle existed in the world. For alcohol lovers, this was a rare treasure. But for Su Xiao, this item couldn't enhance his strength and was hard to sell.
Putting away the [Elixir of Forgetfulness], Su Xiao picked up the [Growth-Type Equipment Chest] rewarded from the main mission. He planned to use this chest to stabilize his luck. The Holy Spirit Chests yielding an Immortal item had somewhat overdrawn his luck.
[You have opened Growth-Type Equipment Chest.]
[You have obtained Gem Heaven.]
[Gem Heaven]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: White (Growth-Type Equipment)
Category: Bracelet
Durability: 9/9
Equipment Requirement: Intelligence Attribute 10 points or above.
Equipment Effect: Crystal Radiance (Passive): When using Crystal-type or Crystal System abilities, damage increased by 3%, ability intensity +5 points.
Growth Condition: Absorb same-grade gems.
Current Growth Value: 0%
Rating: 10 points
Introduction: Dazzling and deadly.
Price: Cannot be traded after equipping.
...
Overall, [Gem Heaven] was quite valuable. Even though it was only White quality, Growth-Type Equipment had better growth prospects the lower its initial grade.
The growth path of Growth-Type Equipment wasn't completely fixed. Its system wouldn't change, but the specific ability tendency would gradually shift based on the user.
Although Su Xiao could form a crystal layer through Cyan Steel Shadow Energy, his ability wasn't Crystal-type but Energy Enhancement-type.
[Gem Heaven] could sell for over 3000 Soul Coins, provided he found a suitable buyer. Otherwise, it would only sell for a few hundred Soul Coins.
His luck had turned somewhat. Su Xiao picked up the Overlord Chest dropped by the Giant Crocodile Leader and opened it directly.
[You have opened Overlord Chest.]
[You have obtained Overlord Essence ×1.]
...
Su Xiao was quite satisfied with this harvest. At the very least, it was the guaranteed minimum, indicating his luck had improved.
[You have opened Law Chest.]
[You have obtained Natural Element · Wood (0.15 ounces, sealed).]
[You have obtained Spellcaster's Diary (No Grade Item).]
[You have obtained Li Element Magic Pattern (Bloodline/Class Inheritance Item, Potential: S, this item is in a missing state).]
[Tip: This Bloodline/Class Inheritance Item is missing a key potion and cannot be inherited. This item is unique to 'Arcane Eternal Star'.]
...
Su Xiao put down the other two items and only picked up a crystal tube as thick as a pinky finger containing [Natural Element · Wood]. He squeezed it, and the crystal tube shattered, releasing a green Wood-type Natural Element.
As soon as these Wood-type elements came out, they began circling around Su Xiao. He waved his hand to drive them away. After a while, these Natural Elements dissolved into the air.
A scroll floated before Su Xiao, imprinted with golden magic patterns. This was the Li Element Magic Pattern, developed by Mage Sage Seraphilia.
It had to be said that Seraphilia was quite capable. Even in its missing state, the [Li Element Magic Pattern] was a Potential S class inheritance.
Su Xiao didn't plan to sell this item. He wanted to study it, to see how Seraphilia had developed this class inheritance specifically to counter the Law Destroyers.
Picking up the diary beside his leg, Su Xiao flipped through a few pages and lost interest. Like mentor, like disciple. In this diary, the female Spellcaster Ava developed a strong interest in other women. Due to her mentor's warnings, she never dared to try it.
Through this diary, Su Xiao learned a piece of intelligence. Arcane Eternal Star held a grand celebration every year called the "Arcane Celebration." During these few days, Arcane Eternal Star would host competitions among the younger generation, followed by various celebratory activities that would last for several days.
The date of the first day of the Arcane Celebration was the day Arcane Eternal Star defeated the Law Destroyers, which was also the death anniversary of some Law Destroyers.
The Arcane Celebration was not far off. Su Xiao was somewhat interested in this celebration. If he activated the [Time Hourglass] on Arcane Eternal Star on that day, the scene would certainly be very lively.
