# Chapter 37: Gains and Risks
After Zuiyasi and the others left, the Grand Cathedral inevitably felt a bit desolate, with only the sound of hammering coming from the forge.
Su Xiao walked to the inner side of the Grand Cathedral, found a desk against the wall, and felt this place was suitable. He began setting it up, intending to turn it into a temporary alchemy workspace to mix potions and later manufacture "Source Stones."
A moment later, Su Xiao sat at the desk, inspecting the various tools on it, while Gulu peeked and craned her neck from behind, seemingly trying to secretly learn alchemy.
Su Xiao turned his head to look at Gulu, who had already taken out a recording device, and said, "Are you interested in alchemy?"
"Interested, very interested. Will you teach me?"
"..."
Su Xiao took out the Alchemy Codex. Gulu happily picked it up, the joyful smile on her face clearly unaware of the dangers of this world.
An hour later, Gulu was holding a gaming terminal, already teaming up with Bubu Wang and Baha to play games. As for learning alchemy, after she tried to decipher the Alchemy Codex, it was no exaggeration to say she was half-dead. At the time, Bubu Wang and Baha both had expressions of seasoned mockery, especially Bubu Wang, who had even prepared mental shock suppression potions.
Su Xiao observed Gulu throughout and came to a conclusion: before mental strength reached a certain level, one could not understand, or rather could not bear, alchemical knowledge. This was very important intelligence. In the future, he would need to find ways to further increase his mental strength, lest he be unable to bear more profound alchemical knowledge.
Su Xiao took out the "Ring of Saint Marks" he had just obtained. This saint mark was embedded on a stone slab, overall golden in color. Staring at it continuously gave one the feeling that their spirit was about to be sucked into it.
The "Ring of Saint Marks" was also known as the "Synthesis Saint Mark." Theoretically, aside from living things, this saint mark could synthesize anything, but the synthesis results were extremely unstable, and most were negative enhancements.
For example, using Soul Crystal + Soul Crystal + Soul Crystal would definitely not yield a Soul Crystal Core, but rather a Soul Crystal Fragment Ball, which was less valuable than Soul Crystals themselves.
Soul-level synthesis exceeded the scope of the "Ring of Saint Marks," which was why it resulted in a shattered-then-clumped-together form. During the Age of Gods, alchemists discovered the wonderful use of the "Ring of Saint Marks": material synthesis.
To be precise, it was the synthesis of plant-type materials. Because the characteristics of the materials were sufficiently singular, the synthesis error was minimized. Additionally, the "Ring of Saint Marks" had a very high compatibility with plant materials.
Following the methods passed down by alchemists from the Age of Gods, Su Xiao sketched an energy transmission formation on the table. He then placed a Soul Crystal (Large) at the energy output node and set the "Ring of Saint Marks" at the central position, thus arranging a simple yet practical synthesis formation.
He took out several materials and was about to begin material synthesis when he suddenly thought of another possibility. Activating the "Ring of Saint Marks" with positive energy conduction allowed for synthesis. What would happen with reverse energy conduction?
Su Xiao modified several energy nodes of the formation. After confirming there were no issues, he activated the formation. The synthesis formation, which had been emitting a golden glow, immediately turned pitch black. He threw a fruit-pit-like material onto it, and the next second, the fruit pit turned to dust—to be precise, it was decomposed.
Su Xiao figured out the wonderful uses of the "Ring of Saint Marks." Positive energy conduction activation created a synthesis formation, while reverse energy conduction activation created a decomposition formation.
After understanding the basic characteristics of the "Ring of Saint Marks," Su Xiao stopped studying the item. Instead, he used the synthesis formation to synthesize dozens of materials, enhancing their quality, and then began mixing potions.
When Su Xiao stopped mixing, there was a row of potions arranged on the experimental table in front of him, totaling:
[Ancient Demon Potion · Fourth Improvement · Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[Dawn Flame · Fourth Improvement · Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[Holy Dragon Guardian · Third Improvement · Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[Saint Mark Potion · Third Improvement · Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[Active · Strength · First Improvement · Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[Radiant Potion · First Improvement · Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[Tree of Life · Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[Ancient Secret Medicine · Perfect × 2 (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
...
Su Xiao mixed these potions not for his own consumption, nor for Bubu Wang or Baha. The four of them had already reached their effectiveness limit from drinking these potions. Every time a new formula was obtained, Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Beini would drink freely.
Su Xiao put away seven of the nine potions, leaving only two bottles of [Ancient Secret Medicine · Perfect], and made sure Gulu saw them.
[Ancient Secret Medicine (Perfect): After drinking, permanently increases physical strength by 6 points, permanently increases health by 2500 points (Perfect grade bonus · Can drink another bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine).]
Among all the potions mixed this time, Ancient Secret Medicine provided the greatest boost to survivability.
"Is this potion...?"
Gulu was attracted. Seeing this, Su Xiao made the attributes of [Ancient Secret Medicine · Perfect] public.
"This potion... it's not for me, is it?"
As Gulu spoke, she began to step back. After seeing the potion's attributes, she was very tempted, but the problem was, she found it hard to imagine what kind of plan would require such generous compensation to be paid in advance.
Gulu stopped after half a step back, not for any other reason, but because the potion on the table was too tempting.
"Gulu, are you chickening out?"
Baha spoke. Hearing this, Gulu raised her middle finger elegantly. She came to the experimental table and drank both bottles of [Ancient Secret Medicine · Perfect].
Su Xiao's plan was simple: have Gulu wear the World Three-Piece Set, whose effects were:
[World's Affection: After wearing this ring, increases Luck attribute by 30% of one's Charm attribute.]
[World Hunter: After killing someone who threatens the world's safety, gains a certain amount of World Force.]
[World Eye: This equipment fuses with the user's eyeball, forming a World Eye.]
...
World's Affection ensured survivability, World Hunter was the means to obtain World Force, and finally, World Eye could store the obtained World Force. Having evolved three times, the World Eye could carry more World Force than imagined.
All enemies within Dead Silence City were enemies threatening the world's safety. Killing them while wearing [World Hunter] would grant World Force. Additionally, the kill rewards for killing the People of Death included a considerable amount of Soul Coins.
Having Gulu, who wore the World Three-Piece Set, go one-on-one with the People of Death was something she, as an assassination-type, could handle. However, given the People of Death's Eighth-Rank mini-boss-level health and physical defense, after Gulu killed one Person of Death, she would basically have all her skills on cooldown.
Relying on Gulu to hunt the People of Death to gain a large amount of World Force was extremely unreliable.
Su Xiao's method was this: first, he would go to the central high tower in the inner city, which had the best view of the inner city area. Then, he would use his blood energy to construct a Blood Qi Phantom, and through soul energy, construct a Soul Great Bow. The Blood Qi Phantom would hold the Soul Great Bow, using Blood Spears as arrows, to remotely shoot and kill the People of Death.
The problem was that the People of Death in the inner city generally didn't go to open areas. They were on the streets between buildings or inside buildings. Given the perception suppression within Dead Silence City, Su Xiao couldn't blindly shoot from a distance. Even with Bubu Wang's positioning, it wouldn't work.
In that case, let Gulu lure the People of Death. Her task was to flee, as fast as possible. As long as she lured the People of Death into Su Xiao's firing range, her task was complete. Su Xiao had a way to quickly shoot and kill the People of Death.
This was also why Su Xiao gave Gulu permanent enhancement potions. Being chased by the Dead Silence City Sword Saint Group was quite an exhilarating experience.
"So, you just need to lure the enemies into my firing range."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Gulu took out an exquisite metal box. Opening it, it contained various fine candies, which she usually couldn't bear to eat. Now, she stuffed her mouth full, her cheeks bulging like a goldfish.
Having formulated the plan, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, Baha, and Gulu were about to set out when the Grand Cathedral's door was pushed open. A figure with pitch-black eyes and black mist wafting around its entire body walked into the Grand Cathedral. It was Kai Yin.
Su Xiao's hand rested on his sword hilt. He didn't understand Kai Yin's intention. Due to his talent ability, which could bring extremely high soul growth, Kai Yin's soul energy posed very little threat to him. To be precise, this wasn't because Kai Yin was weak, but because he had encountered an enemy that countered him.
"I've come to redeem someone."
As Kai Yin spoke, he looked at Lu Ge, who was hanging upside down from the chandelier, his entire body wrapped in black tentacles, his five senses sealed.
Hearing Kai Yin say this, Su Xiao was quite surprised. Kai Yin, the teammate-betraying maniac, had actually come to redeem a teammate?
In reality, Kai Yin came to redeem someone not out of friendship or any nonexistent camaraderie. Among Kai Yin's three teammates this time, he didn't care about the life or death of Duke and Snow Monster. In fact, he was even looking for an opportunity to kill these two. But the contractor named Lu Ge had earned Kai Yin's respect.
Or rather, Kai Yin and Lu Ge were simply the perfect partners. The reason was that Nightmare Ghost · Kai Yin would first betray his teammates, then devour their souls and plunder their belongings.
Lu Ge was different from Kai Yin. Subjectively, he never betrayed his teammates. However, due to his unique talent ability, his teammates died one batch after another.
Given the current situation, with Kai Yin's strength, Lu Ge's talent ability was basically ineffective against this Ghost King. To be precise, Kai Yin wasn't even considered a living person.
If Kai Yin, as the leader of the Elven Temple adventure group, recruited teammates, and Lu Ge was in the Elven Temple, then Kai Yin wouldn't even need to personally betray his teammates. They would gradually die off due to Lu Ge's lone-star-like ability.
The higher the rank, the more alert and cautious the members recruited by adventure groups were. Kai Yin, who was about to advance to Ninth Rank, had already prepared to give up the Elven Temple, a large adventure group. But now, Lu Ge's appearance gave Kai Yin another hope: to "cleanse" himself after advancing to Ninth Rank.
First, he would frame Lu Ge as a Violator. Then, Kai Yin himself would find a way to step into the ranks of Violators. He knew a secret: Violators also had comprehensive notarization. In fact, many years ago, Violators were simply a class of a certain Paradise faction.
Kai Yin's idea was this: all along, he had betrayed and killed countless contractors. In the judgment of Death Paradise, he was definitely a black sheep type of character. Fortunately, Paradise had no emotions or favoritism. As long as he didn't cross that line, he wouldn't face punishment or even warnings.
But the judgment value of Paradise Reputation made Kai Yin constantly worry. The day when he would become a black sheep and be hunted by Death Rangers was not far off.
So Kai Yin had to do something big: first become a Violator, then, in a team format, attract Violators of the same rank. Using Lu Ge's extremely powerful ability against living people, he would betray and kill these Violators, leaving them dead without knowing what happened.
In this way, he could not only devour the powerful souls of Violators but also avoid further becoming a black sheep and being hunted by Death Rangers. To some extent, such a Kai Yin would be a Death Ranger disguised as a Violator.
Kai Yin had planned all this and was ready to implement it after returning this time. However, the core member of the team he had conceived was currently completely wrapped in black tentacles, hanging upside down from the chandelier.
Clang.
A flash of blade light passed. All the black tentacles on Lu Ge's body snapped. Still hanging upside down, Lu Ge's eyes widened as he gasped for air.
"Name your price."
Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Kai Yin narrowed his eyes. Having betrayed and killed teammates numbering in the thousands, he had actually come to redeem a teammate this time. How unpredictable.
"5000 Soul Coins."
"Deal."
Finding that Su Xiao agreed so readily, Kai Yin thought to himself that he had offered too much. He looked at Lu Ge, still hanging, and said:
"Lu Ge, big brother here only has 400 left. You lend me 4600 first."
"?"
Lu Ge was a bit confused. He looked at Kai Yin suspiciously.
"Hurry up. Bai Ye might change his mind soon."
"Not... this..."
In extreme bewilderment, Lu Ge traded 4600 Soul Coins to Kai Yin. He had obtained this profit less than 12 hours ago, and now he was giving it all up.
[Prompt: You have received a trade request.]
[You have obtained 5000 Soul Coins.]
Su Xiao had Baha release the person. He had released Lu Ge earlier, but Zuiyasi had caught him back. Now, being able to obtain a sum of Soul Coins was an unexpected bonus. He would split a portion with Zuiyasi later.
"Brother Kai Yin, see you around if fate allows."
Baha spoke. Hearing this, Kai Yin paused in his steps, as if saying, "Better not see each other again," before leaving with Lu Ge.
Outside the Grand Cathedral, Lu Ge's expression was exceptionally complicated. He looked at Kai Yin and said, "Thank... thank you, big brother."
"No need. Just return the 5000 Soul Coins to me later."
"Huh? What 5000?"
Lu Ge was immediately confused. He continued, "Big brother, weren't 4600 of that 5000 borrowed from me?"
"Yes, but this was the expenditure to redeem you. Do you have the nerve to ask me for the money?"
Kai Yin looked at Lu Ge, almost saying outright: if you dare ask for this money, I'll beat you half to death immediately.
"No... I don't have the nerve to ask."
Lu Ge, in his dealings with people, always adhered to the principle that a wise man knows his place.
"Since you don't have the nerve to ask, then this account is settled. But one thing is one thing. I saved you, and I paid 5000 Soul Coins. You can't deny that debt."
"But..."
Lu Ge scratched his head, his mood exceptionally complicated. He was very touched that Kai Yin had come to save him this time, but the account issue was starting to confuse him.
"We're leaving this place. Going to High Wall City to see a friend of ours."
Kai Yin looked at the dim sky, his gaze serious.
"Friend? Who?"
"The Priest."
"Ah?!"
Lu Ge was so startled he almost slipped and did a split on the spot. The last world, how badly the Priest had screwed him over was still fresh in his memory. Now they were going to find him. And from Kai Yin's tone, the Priest was someone he had just found in this world.
"Big brother, what are we seeing the Priest for? He's a dangerous figure among Violators. Violators of the same rank are afraid of him."
"It's nothing major. The two of us are also going to become Violators."
"!"
Lu Ge stopped in his tracks. The look he gave Kai Yin seemed to say: 'Bro, maybe you should let me go back and keep hanging. Hanging on that chandelier was actually quite nice.'
"Are you scared?"
Kai Yin looked at Lu Ge.
"Terrified."
Lu Ge's answer was unabashedly honest, completely nullifying Kai Yin's provocation.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to go see the Priest alone."
Kai Yin's tone carried a hint of regret.
"See you, big brother."
With that, Lu Ge turned and walked toward a nearby alley. But just as he turned—
Bang!
Lu Ge was struck on the back of the head. His vision went dark, and he fell to the ground with a thud. A wisp of black mist entered his body. A ghost controlled by Kai Yin drove Lu Ge to stand up and follow behind Kai Yin.
On top of the Grand Cathedral, Gulu was watching this scene. Without subtitles and with the complex plot, she was somewhat confused.
Su Xiao took off the wireless earpiece. Bubu Wang had followed them, so he naturally heard the conversation between Kai Yin and Lu Ge. The key point was that the Priest had already arrived in this world and was currently at High Wall City.
Using the teleportation device in the Grand Cathedral, Su Xiao quickly arrived at the second floor of the treatment center. Going down to the first floor, he saw the Ghost Old Man in the wooden window.
"The items have been delivered."
The Ghost Old Man took out a piece of parchment with a large handprint pressed in black blood, which Amu had made.
After Su Xiao took the scroll, his mental energy flowed into it. The scene before him transformed into a battlefield with a dim, bloody tone. On a pile of corpses made of aberrant beasts, Amu was sitting.
Amu was covered in mottled bloodstains, with large wounds all over his body. Many of the wounds were blackened. The Dragonheart Axe, covered in blood and flesh, was embedded in the head of an aberrant beast beside his foot. He was holding a large beast leg, bitten down to the bone.
The scene before Su Xiao shattered, and the parchment in his hand ignited on its own.
"Those supplies almost didn't make it. We encountered a special situation on the way, but fortunately, we resolved it in the end."
The Ghost Old Man didn't elaborate on encountering Caesar along the way.
"..."
Su Xiao activated the faction shop and used [Hunter's Badge] and [Sinner's Badge].
[You have obtained Origin Stone · Chaos Flame.]
[You have obtained Technique Soul · Dark.]
Although Dead Silence City was full of dangers, the rewards were equally generous. Su Xiao also had a [Saintess Badge]. The problem was that the "Proof Item" exchanged with this was used to go to the Ancient Experimental Site. Since the Steel Maker no longer allowed outsiders in, exchanging for the "Proof Item" was meaningless.
In that case, selling the [Saintess Badge] was the best choice. As for who to sell it to, he hadn't decided yet.
After leaving the treatment center, Gulu began rubbing her eyes. The World Eye had temporarily fused with her eyes, and she was a bit uncomfortable.
"I always feel like I'm creatively seeking death."
Gulu let out a long breath and walked toward the east side. Su Xiao headed to the nearby central high tower.
The journey was smooth. When Su Xiao reached the top of the tens-of-meters-high central high tower, he found that the crossbow here had been destroyed, presumably by Zuiyasi.
Su Xiao clasped his hands together and released one-third of his blood energy, forming a Blood Qi Phantom above him.
The Blood Qi Phantom was about 10 meters tall, with only an upper body. It resembled the form of the fierce beast Fei, but more features leaned toward a humanoid shape. Its left hand was a beast claw, its right arm was a human arm, and the hand had only three fingers: thumb, index, and middle.
This wasn't all. Su Xiao released soul energy. Using the crystallization of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy as a base, supplemented by soul characteristics, he constructed a Soul Great Bow. The Blood Qi Phantom held the bow body with its beast claw.
A total of ten Blood Spears, nearly 4 meters long, materialized. Under Su Xiao's control, they were embedded in the half-meter-high rock parapet in front, making it convenient for the Blood Qi Phantom to retrieve.
Just this alone wouldn't be enough to instantly kill a Person of Death in one hit. Su Xiao took out a ring and put it on the index finger of his right hand.
[Ancient Kill Ring +13]

...
When Su Xiao shot and killed the People of Death from a distance, he chose to attack the torso. The reason was that for the People of Death, the head wasn't considered a vital point.
With this constant, the damage bonus from the Kill Ring was about 7 times. That meant the vital point attack power of one Blood Spear was close to the vital point killing power of seven.
One Blood Spear couldn't kill a Person of Death instantly, but the power of seven Blood Spears stacked together would definitely kill a Person of Death instantly.
Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder, his sharp eagle eyes scanning the surroundings. He was Su Xiao's lookout, responsible for observing all movements in the vicinity and spotting Gulu running back as quickly as possible.
Bubu Wang set up a signal base station nearby, beginning to collect wind speed, possible air resistance variables, and the real-time distance between Su Xiao and the enemies.
Initially, Su Xiao frequently scanned the surroundings, but after waiting for a long time, Gulu didn't appear.
"Boss, here they come!"
Baha pointed east with his wing. Su Xiao followed the direction and saw Gulu leaping between buildings, with three People of Death behind her.
Boom!
An explosion sounded. One of the People of Death had used its explosive hammer to blast the ground. The ground within a hundred meters was sent flying. Gulu was also launched into the air by the impact from below.
Seeing this, Su Xiao controlled the Blood Qi Phantom to nock an arrow and draw the bow.
Crack, crack, crack~
The Soul Great Bow emitted a deep bow-drawing sound. Su Xiao locked onto a Person of Death 1.7 kilometers away. The Blood Qi Phantom's large hand released the bowstring.
Bang!!
The moment the Blood Spear was shot, a sonic boom exploded. Then, the Blood Spear broke through layers of sonic booms, following a diagonal downward trajectory, straight toward the Person of Death holding the explosive hammer.
Gulu, who had just staggered to her feet, heard a sonic boom a few meters beside her. The shockwave from the impact lifted her hair. Even though the attack had passed several meters away, she still felt her cheek ache. Or rather, this was the warning pain from her perception.
The Blood Spear hit the Explosive Hammer Person of Death. The Person of Death's body instantly became as brittle as dead wood. The entire upper body shattered into dry fragments in an instant, splattering in all directions.
Boom!
The Blood Spear plunged into the ground, plowing up gravel, leaving a several-hundred-meter-long trench before finally going underground. The hole it created was bottomless.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more Blood Spears shot over. The second Person of Death was shot and exploded. The third, who had a long braid and was exceptionally agile, successfully dodged the third arrow but was shot and exploded by the fourth arrow's prediction shot.
A few minutes later, Gulu reached the top of the central high tower. She lay on the ground, sweat sticking a few strands of hair to her face. Although she had only run for a little over ten minutes, she was somewhat exhausted. She swore that these ten-plus minutes were the fastest she had ever run in her life, constantly pushing her limits and draining her stamina.
"Three or four more times, and the World Force should be enough, right?"
Gulu drank most of a bottle of water in one go, feeling like she was coming back to life.
"Enough."
"Then let's continue."
Gulu stood up and leaped down from the tens-of-meters-high central high tower.
An hour later.
Gulu returned to the tower top with slow, fatigued steps. As soon as she arrived, she collapsed to the ground:
"This is already the fourth batch. A total of 11 People of Death killed. Is the World Force enough?"
Gulu felt like she was about to collapse.
"Not enough."
"What?"
Gulu looked up and glared at Su Xiao. She was angry at being deceived.
"..."
Su Xiao took out [Tree of Life · Perfect] and tossed it to Gulu, which made her eyes gradually clear.
[Tree of Life (Perfect): Permanently increases True Stamina attribute by 4 points. (This potion is effective for True Stamina below 257 points. Repeated use is ineffective.)]
"At most... three more times. I really will be completely drained of stamina."
After resting for a moment, Gulu went down the tower to lure the People of Death. She felt like she was no longer just a dancer on the blade's edge but was frantically testing the limits of death.
Over an hour later, Gulu lay on the stone slab at the tower top again. Looking at the sky, she said:
"I can't run another step. No matter what you take out this time, it's impossible. My legs don't even feel like my own anymore."
"..."
Su Xiao took out [Holy Dragon Guardian · Third Improvement · Perfect] and [Saint Mark Potion · Third Improvement · Perfect].
[Holy Dragon Guardian (Third Improvement): After injection, the user's subcutaneous tissue is enhanced, generating Holy Dragon Guardian. Holy Dragon Guardian can block one instance of same-rank curses, microbial erosion, etc. (This potion is effective for True Stamina below 255 points. Repeated use can be fatal.)]
[Saint Mark Potion (Third Improvement): Permanently increases True Strength attribute by 3 points, True Agility attribute by 2 points. (This potion is effective for True Strength and True Agility attributes below 263 points.)]
Seeing the attributes of these two potions, Gulu closed her eyes. After resting for 10 minutes, she got up from the ground again.
"Continue."
Gulu leaped down from the tower, regaining her strength.
Three hours later, Gulu, with only her right arm remaining and her left arm placed in a life-support device, lay on the stone slab at the tower top. Looking at her eyes, which had lost their luster, it was clear she was completely exhausted.
"..."
Su Xiao took out [Active · Strength · First Improvement · Perfect] and [Radiant Potion · First Improvement · Perfect]. These two potions not only provided permanent enhancement but also greatly restored stamina depletion.
After resting for over half an hour, Gulu's condition recovered. She went out again to find the People of Death in the vicinity.
Four hours later, Gulu returned to the tower top once more. This time, she couldn't even be bothered to lay out a blanket. She just lay down and didn't move.
Su Xiao took out [Dawn Flame · Fourth Improvement · Perfect] and [Ancient Demon Potion · Fourth Improvement · Perfect], placed them on the ground, and let Gulu choose for herself.
After seeing the attributes of these two potions, Gulu said, "Help me up. I can still go."
After resting for an hour, Gulu set off again.
