Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 280: Chapter 167: Final Battle Preparations (Part 2)

”The location of the temporary base has been set up. I won’t restrict your movements, but I hope you can wait at the base for the arrival of the main forces during this period. After all, with such a powerful monster around, exploring rashly is extremely risky.”

”You are the hope of civilization. Protect yourself well and don’t take unnecessary risks.”

Qin Xiang urged seriously.

Chu Xiu nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, the military district was the highest-level opportunity nearby, so Xue Li and the Fang squad were essentially the top combat force for this entry into the Corpse Demon World.

Among the other fifty-plus slots, Chu Xiu knew that there were seemingly only eleven at the General Tier, the rest were at the Fierce Tier, and there were more than ten in support professions.

Currently, there were only three vacant slots remaining, meaning at most three more high-end combat forces could be added.

In this situation, to eliminate the calamity confidently, it would certainly be necessary to mobilize the power of thousands of local Awakened ones.

Although these newly awakened students weren’t high level, with the aid of high-tech weapons, they could still play a significant role. As long as the government provided resources, that batch of geniuses led by Ye Junlin and Zhang Qingshan should soon participate in the Fierce Tier trial.

If they passed, these geniuses with talents above S-Class would be much stronger than ordinary Fierce Tier Awakened ones.

Although many people would come to compete with Chu Xiu for resources, he thought instead that it might be safer if someone ventured ahead of him to explore since that group of corrupted creatures was huddled in a deep pit, and he didn’t dare to enter rashly.

Moreover, not many professions required bodies and souls. Chu Xiu could just follow behind to pick up remains, and the harvest would be satisfying enough.

What he needed to do now was, before the final battle came, enhance his strength as much as possible to seize more resources during the battle.

For example, that Colonel. If Chu Xiu could kill him before others, he would surely obtain a great deal of valuable items.

With an idea in mind, Chu Xiu looked at Qin Xiang: ”Senior Qin, how’s the material I inquired about before?”

Previously, when they parted, Chu Xiu had asked Qin Xiang to help gather the main materials for refining the Eight Desolates Nether Fire Array.

Qin Xiang said, ”The sellers have been found, but only half a day has passed. My operatives haven’t had time to negotiate prices with them properly, nor to search for more sources. Currently, all sellers demand a trade using Cause and Effect Points or High Tier Equipment.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu said, ”Senior Qin, I hope we can bring forward the second transaction we agreed upon earlier. Something so significant has happened in the Corpse Demon World this time, you surely have a reason to gather a large amount of Cause and Effect Points from the surroundings, right?”

”And if possible, I hope the government can help me purchase those materials upfront. For the required price, I will exchange it with items from the second transaction.”

”After all, transporting materials back and forth isn’t easy. Once returned, it will have at least a two-week cooldown. I don’t want to delay it until so far back, to ensure the subsequent final battle is more assured.”

”Please rest assured, the items I exchanged for this time are of extremely high value, definitely enough to cover the price of the materials.”

”Additionally, I ask for more preparation of Cause and Effect Points, as I mentioned, this batch of items is of extremely high value.”

”This...” Qin Xiang hesitated for a moment at Chu Xiu’s words.

After all, the total price for the materials he requested help purchasing was nearly twenty billion Huaxia Coins. Moreover, since the sellers did not accept Huaxia Coin transactions, there was actually a high hidden premium.

This was no small amount, even for Qin Xiang, an Awakened at King Tier, to casually agree to.

However, considering Chu Xiu’s astonishing potential, he finally nodded in agreement.

But he also added, ”The premium on the purchase will be assessed by specialized scholars, which may cause you to have to pay extra.”

To this, Chu Xiu didn’t care in the slightest: ”That’s natural. Charging extra for expedited handling isn’t something very normal?”

Hearing his agreement, Qin Xiang said no more.

Subsequently, after the transaction was concluded, Chu Xiu withdrew his consciousness from Abyss City.

Upon opening his eyes, he met Su Jinyu’s curious gaze.

As soon as their eyes met, she turned her head away immediately, pretending to appear nonchalant.

Chu Xiu revealed a hint of a smile: ”You want to ask about the Resurrection Wine?”

”Mm.” Su Jinyu nodded a bit anxiously.

She was nearly twenty-five, about six or seven years older than Chu Xiu, but for some reason, in front of him, she always felt like she was facing those high-ranking positions.

”Three days later, I’ll give it to you.”

The Resurrection Wine had to be acquired in the Bloody Arena, a place where he also needed to enhance his power. Besides, he had an S-Class Trait [Bloodline Sharing] that had not been absorbed.

Once he removed the pollution and fused the trait, his army of monsters could surge in power again!

However, the opponents in the Bloody Arena were all super gladiators collected by the Four Gods from various worlds, and the battles often involved life and death, which was definitely risky. Therefore, Chu Xiu hadn’t gone there immediately after reaching Fierce Tier.

He planned to go after finishing the transaction and raising his strength to the current limit.

On the other hand, Chu Xiu ended the conversation with just five simple words, leaving Su Jinyu a bit disappointed. Meanwhile, she felt a vague unease, fearing that Chu Xiu was just painting a picture, and a kind of unexplainable resentment arose in her heart.

She had risked her life to hold off the Colonel for Chu Xiu, yet when it came time for Chu Xiu to pay the reward, he started stalling!
