Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 222: Chapter 148: Mountain View Building

Facing Chu Xiu’s request, Qin Xiang just thought for a moment before agreeing outright.

”But I also have a request, which is that you must complete the Ancient Trials within a year.”

”We don’t have time to delay anymore, Extreme Dao, Outer Realm Demon, these sudden appearances have disrupted plans from above, no one knows what we’ll encounter as we delve deeper into the Abyss, so we must race against time!”

”No problem.” Chu Xiu agreed.

He didn’t negotiate further because he knew other clauses were rules set by various factions, hard to change, and Qin Xiang definitely didn’t have the authority, so Chu Xiu didn’t argue any further.

Next, the two began to finalize the specific details.

First was the matter of exchanging resources for Cause and Effect Points.

The meeting place and time were designated by Chu Xiu, and only personnel confirmed by him could enter within five miles of the chosen location. If Chu Xiu discovered unrelated people loitering nearby, the deal would be canceled immediately.

Chu Xiu decided to first sell equipment artifacts of Treasure and below quality, along with Anchor Points. If the cooperation went smoothly, he would then sell the subsequent high-tier items until exchanging the Upgrade Spark and Ascension Sequence, these two big treasures.

Although Chu Xiu felt that as a Civilization Envoy, the other party shouldn’t be unfavorable to him, and even with the methods of those high-tier Awakened individuals, if they were determined to ambush him, his preparations would be useless.

But being cautious never goes wrong.

And Qin Xiang immediately provided the growth opportunity the government had prepared for Chu Xiu.

”Based on various materials found in Corpse City, we’ve roughly located a shelter point about two hundred kilometers from Corpse City.”

”The place used to be a military district. At the first sign of apocalypse, resolute and heavily armed soldiers controlled the situation and established research institutes and shelters there, taking in numerous refugees and top scientists.”

”According to records reproduced from the radio, this military district seems to have persisted for a long time, operating normally until Corpse City was completely destroyed.”

”We speculate that the Abyss creature levels there are generally higher than in Corpse City, making it an excellent exploration site, rated the highest in comprehensive information, but what it actually holds can only be known by going there.”

”Our expedition team will set off three days after the cooldown period ends. Of course, you can join or act alone.”

This opportunity indeed sounded promising.

”So what I must do next is to level up by fighting monsters in the Corpse Demon World, enhance my strength, and meanwhile, find trustworthy teammates to form a team capable of completing the Ancient Trials within a year.”

Chu Xiu roughly organized his upcoming goals.

As long as he successfully completes the Ancient Trials, his importance in the eyes of various big figures will rise significantly, gaining vast resource investments.

It can be said that this is an even bigger opportunity than the Core Anchor Point of the world mission! He certainly has to seize it well.

And once all details were settled, Qin Xiang bid farewell and left.

This investigator seemed quite troubled by matters of Extreme Dao and Outer Realm Demons, unwilling to waste a moment of time.

Chu Xiu meanwhile roamed around Abyss City.

Since he was here, he wanted to take the opportunity to understand more about the dark sides of this world, so that in future dealings he could make more accurate judgments.

After thoroughly wandering around Abyss City, Chu Xiu found people’s interactions here mostly began by adding each other as friends using identity information before detailed discussions. Only a few organizations build houses and establish bases here.

These bases were mostly one or two-story cottages, but one building rose above the cottages, standing out conspicuously.

It was a luxurious Chinese-style pavilion, more than ten stories high, with a sign saying ”Mountain View Building” hanging at the entrance.

”It’s about mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens, is it?”

This sparked Chu Xiu’s curiosity.

He walked in to have a look, finding the pavilion very spacious, with walls filled with data information, and a person standing in the corner as the manager.

This manager stood motionless, seemingly leaving only a small part of consciousness here, while most attention was directed at the main body elsewhere.

Chu Xiu didn’t mind, and continued his exploration.

The first thing that caught his eye was a huge Public Commission board filled densely with tasks.

These tasks appeared to be for those who joined Mountain View Building but were not core members of Mountain View Building, the Contract Mercenaries.

Since Chu Xiu was an outsider, he could only see missions with the lowest confidentiality. Yet even those made him amazed!

[Investigate the specific talent of Kyoto Zhao Family’s eldest son, reward 50000 Cause and Effect Points.]

[Disfigure a female student from Shanghai High School, Name Zhang Chuchu, Student ID 207914355, reward a ’Perfect’ grade General Tier equipment.]

[Sell an A-level talent ’Sensory Sharing’ embryo, male, preserved well, buyer should provide Hand of Deprivation, private chat for price inquiry.]

Of course, these ”dark” tasks were relatively few, most searched for materials or local informant information and the like were ordinary tasks.

But still, it made Chu Xiu secretly exclaim.

What’s more terrifying is that Mountain View Building seems to have core members who serve some top big figures, declaring that if the price is high enough, they accept any task! Even assassination of Celestial Kings!
