Chapter 3: Smile Town on Skeleton Island, Zone Difficulty Up to Lv.85
It was clearly not feasible to brute force it with the Demon Spirit incarnation. Su Xiao opened the world communication platform, found Demon Scythe·Talid in the participant list, and attempted to communicate with her via text.
White Night: "Within three days, obtain a piece of 'Shattered Origin' and hand it over to me."
About half an hour later, Demon Scythe·Talid replied.
Talid: "?"
Talid, who was usually indifferent and dark and aloof, had been thrown into confusion by Su Xiao.
White Night: "I tested it. Before the end of a round of competition, the 'Shattered Origin' obtained during that round can be transferred."
Talid: "This isn't a matter of whether it can be transferred or not. There's no possibility of such a trade. Abandon your current idea."
White Night: "[Sin-Eye Demon Scythe]."
Talid: "..."
White Night: "Three days, I can wait at most three days. The areas most likely to produce 'Shattered Origin' right now are: Eternal Great Bell, Decaying Blood Sea·Secret Island, Decaying Blood Sea·Skeleton Island·Smile Town."
Talid: "I... will try my best."
...
Why did Demon Scythe·Talid compromise? Because [Sin-Eye Demon Scythe] was a weapon exclusive to the Demon Scythe system, and the only one of its kind in the Void of Ten Thousand Realms. It was previously in the possession of Demon Scythe·Nun, and after Su Xiao defeated the Nun, he acquired it.
For this exclusive weapon, the only one of its kind, Demon Scythe·Talid had no way to refuse. As for the outcome of this World Competition, with a total of fifty pieces of 'Shattered Origin', a single piece of 'Shattered Origin' really couldn't play a decisive role.
Moreover, 'Shattered Origin' was tradable. Trading 'Shattered Origin' among each other was itself part of the strategy.
The key point wasn't about obtaining more 'Shattered Origin', but who could obtain twenty-six pieces of 'Shattered Origin'. After that, the remaining 'Shattered Origin' would become meaningless.
Currently, Su Xiao held ten pieces of 'Shattered Origin', far from reaching the critical number of one piece. This was also one of the reasons Demon Scythe·Talid agreed to the trade.
As for whether Demon Scythe·Talid, after obtaining the exclusive weapon [Sin-Eye Demon Scythe], would skyrocket in combat power and become a hidden danger in subsequent rounds, this would definitely not happen.
If Demon Scythe·Talid dared to immediately replace her current main weapon with [Sin-Eye Demon Scythe], her combat power would actually decrease rather than increase. This powerful weapon required sufficient time to adapt to, and during the World Competition, there was no opportunity for adaptation.
As for whether giving away [Sin-Eye Demon Scythe] now was worth it, if this round of the game was won, Su Xiao's basic gains would be as follows:
