Chapter 111. Eighth Revolution, Endless Treasures...

[Level +1], [Congratulations...]... Level-up notifications are interspersed among kill notifications and appear occasionally.

For the next two months, under the protection of Xiao's father, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi focused solely on drinking potions and leveling up their skills, spending 13-15 hours a day fighting polluted beasts.

The rest of the time was spent resting and crafting experience coins at the B-zone shelter, which was hundreds of kilometers away.

Lin Xiaoxiao ran out of gold coins in her space on the third day, and is currently using experience coins she created by extracting experience to fight.

The aura emanating from the experience coins would continuously attract the corrupted beasts, so the three of them didn't need to change locations at all. They only needed to stay in this place and wait for the beasts to come to them.

'bomm—' A huge circular explosion zone, about 100 meters in diameter, formed the instant the experience coin came into contact with the contaminated beast.

With just one hit, he gained nearly ten million experience points.

Congratulations to Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi!

Xiao Weizhi, whose physical strength was completely depleted, wielded the energy gun with perfect accuracy. With each pull of the trigger, a corrupted beast would fall, turning into experience points.

Mr. Xiao's face was somewhat pale. For two consecutive months, he had been flying in the air for more than ten hours every day with his two children.

Even though Lin Xiaoxiao uses the power of faith to replenish Xiao's father's energy every day, his body is still struggling to keep up.

Looking at the dwindling number of polluted beasts below, Xiao Weizhi asked in a deep voice, "Should we move to another spot?"

Lin Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and used her mental power to sense the situation in the area. After a moment, she frowned slightly and said, "No rush, let me think about it some more."

Her current level is 377, while Xiao Weizhi's level is slightly lower at 334 due to the seventh job advancement quest.

If you want to force yourself to level up to 399 and quickly reach the eighth job advancement within the next month, then you can only consider going to the S zone.

But when she thought about what was hidden inside S area, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine.

Do I really want to enter the S zone before reaching the ninth level of the rank?

However, if they don't go in, it might take more than two months for the number of polluted beasts in Area A to reach the eighth rank.

Lin Xiaoxiao threw out two more experience points worth 100,000 each. The two explosions blasted the already few polluted beasts below to pieces.

After waiting for a long time, the polluted beast below still hadn't reformed. Just as the group was about to leave, a series of heavy footsteps sounded: 'ta.ta.ta…'

A twenty-meter-tall polluting beast slowly emerged from the darkness, stepping on smaller polluting beasts. With each step, it crushed several or even dozens of polluting beasts.

On the head of the corrupted beast, a humanoid corrupted entity clad in black armor looked up at Xiao Weizhi in mid-air with only two empty eye sockets remaining. Its mouth opened and closed, emitting hoarse roars: 'Ah, ah…'

'Found it! It has been found! A gift has been brought to my Lord. Please accept this gift from my Lord.'

Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi, who were above, could both understand what the pollutant was saying.

As the leading giant pollutant beast gradually emerged, the three people floating in mid-air could clearly see many other giant pollutant beasts, some ten or twenty meters tall, following behind.

Strangely, these polluted beasts simply walked out like robots, without actively attacking the three people in mid-air. They stopped after walking to a certain position, as if they were just a bunch of ugly sculptures.

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned as she glanced at the polluted object in front of her, then turned to look at Xiao Weizhi with a very serious expression.

Having been with Xiao Weizhi for so long, she immediately discovered that he could understand the speech of the pollutants below.

She wasn't stupid; she considered his reaction and the words coming from the contaminated creature below.

It's highly likely that Xiao Weizhi was targeted by the one deepest in the contaminated zone—the source of contamination, the Dark God: the God of Greed.

Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze toward Xiao Weizhi was exceptionally complex.

Xiao Weizhi understood Lin Xiaoxiao's expression perfectly, knowing she had probably guessed it, and said calmly, "I didn't agree."

Father Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, then at Xiao Weizhi, and then at the motionless advanced pollutant below, his expression both puzzled and extremely solemn.

In the short time it took to say just a few words, the humanoid contaminant slowly raised the spear in its hand and pointed it at the three people in mid-air.

Before it could even unleash its skill, Lin Xiaoxiao, Xiao Weizhi, and Xiao's father, who reacted quickly, swiftly threw down their skills.

Several skills were unleashed in succession, and a massive explosion engulfed the polluted beast horde below, billowing smoke that blocked everyone's view.

A few minutes later, the thick smoke dissipated, and the polluted beasts below were unharmed. The humanoid polluted creature, its face rotten beyond recognition, raised a strange smile that could hardly be called a smile.

Its mouth opened and closed, emitting a hoarse sound: 'My lord said, waiting for you to change your mind; today, it's only to deliver a gift.'

After he finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of polluted beasts below self-destructed simultaneously, creating an exceptionally powerful explosion. The polluted beasts nearby were also killed in this sacrificial-like self-destruction.

The purplish-black blood splattered into the air, turning into a corrosive purplish-black blood rain that slowly fell to the ground, making a hissing sound upon contact.

Before the blood rain touched them, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly used the power of faith to create a spherical barrier that emitted bursts of light.

[Congratulations to Xiao Weizhi and Lin Xiaoxiao for defeating the Corrupted Humanoid Leader, General Wumeng. Experience gained: 8412432540. Experience distribution: equal.]

[Level + ...]

[Congratulations to Xiao Weizhi and Lin Xiaoxiao for defeating the Polluted Beast BOSS - Black Fierce Beast, gaining 453,252,3287 experience points. Experience distribution...]

[Level + ...]

After the polluted beasts self-destructed, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi's levels were pushed to 399 in just over ten seconds, successfully obtaining the eighth-level quest.

Lin Xiaoxiao's eighth-tier quest is: [Craft 1 Quasi-God level treasure chest: [0/1]].

Xiao Weizhi's eighth-tier quest is: [Kill 100 million Polluted Beasts: [0/100000000]].

A black sphere the size of a fist, taking advantage of the purplish-black blood rain, quickly approached the protective shield that resembled a giant sphere of light.

Just as the black sphere attempted to break through the protective shield, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed it in advance. A golden light emanated from her hand, and she reached out to grab the sphere from a distance.

When the golden light touched the black sphere, the surface of the sphere dissolved into the air like a fragile bubble.

Countless black mists surged toward Xiao Weizhi. Lin Xiaoxiao only managed to stop most of them, but a small portion still quickly merged into his body.

In just two seconds, the black mist merged into Xiao Weizhi's body. He couldn't control his body and fell backward. Before losing consciousness, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Wei Zhi!" Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao's father reached out together to support Xiao Wei Zhi, who was falling backward.

Black mist swirled around the protective shield, emitting eerie, guttural laughter that only Lin Xiaoxiao could hear: 'Success! Hahahaha, lucky darling! If you want him alive, send him to me.'

After leaving behind this sentence, the black mist vanished into thin air.

At the same time, the purplish-black blood rain in the sky stopped, and the surrounding darkness seemed to have been washed away by the rain.

It was no longer thick darkness, but more like the evening when the sun had just set and night had fallen; it was a bit hazy, but you could clearly see everything around you.

Anxious, Xiao's father carried the unconscious Xiao Weizhi and, with Lin Xiaoxiao, quickly flew away from Area A and headed back to Mona City.

Not long after they left, a figure in a red dress staggered over.

She opened her bloodshot eyes, which had no whites at all, opened her mouth wide, which stretched to the back of her head, and tilted her head to say in an extremely hoarse voice, "Unfortunately, it's too late. Oh well, she'll come again."

As it spoke, it wobbled and flew away from this place, like a passing traveler.

After traveling for 13 days, the three returned to Mona City. Xiao's father put Xiao Weizhi in the room and then went to Zuo City to fetch a doctor.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, looking expressionlessly at Xiao Weizhi, who was in a coma. She stroked his hand, her heart aching uncontrollably.

Over the next two days, many legendary doctors and priests came to see him, and even a legendary priest did.

After each performance, they would sigh and shake their heads, expressing their incompetence and not knowing why Xiao Weizhi remained unconscious.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed with a blank expression, watching the doctors and priests come and go.

Ning Qiu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting by the bed for two days, staring blankly at Xiao Weizhi, who was lying on the bed and whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker. She gently advised, "Xiaoxiao, Weizhi is lucky and will be fine. You should go and rest."

Lin Xiaoxiao moved the corners of her mouth, forcing a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "It's okay, Aunt Ning, I'll sit for a while longer."

Xiao's father rushed back, looking travel-worn, and pushed open the door. He said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxiao, go and rest. I've already pulled some strings and found a legendary, peak-level doctor. Maybe that doctor can find out why Weizhi suddenly fell into a coma."

Only Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi could see the black mist at the time, so Xiao's father only saw Xiao Weizhi collapse and faint for no reason.

Lin Xiaoxiao's smile was bitter. This matter concerned a god. How could an ordinary legendary-level professional possibly find out the cause? Even a demigod probably couldn't solve it unless it was a god.

Wait, Goddess, how could she forget? She could meet the Goddess of Fortune by offering tribute.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao became excited and quickly stood up to explain to the two elders that she had thought of a way that might give her a chance to wake up Xiao Weizhi.

She hurriedly went to the empty room next door, locked the door, released the Scales of Fortune to create a safe space, and used the skill [Sacrifice to the Goddess of Fortune].

A burst of intense platinum-gold light flashed, and Lin Xiaoxiao's body collapsed onto the floor of the room. The Scales of Fortune floated in mid-air, scattering light and tending to her unconscious body.

Consciousness once again traversed space and appeared in that familiar divine kingdom, which was filled with white clouds and mist.

She ran with unwavering determination in the direction of Lady Luck, cutting through layers of white mist.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao stood in front of the Goddess of Fortune, who was sitting crookedly on her throne, resting with her hands on her cheeks and her eyes closed. She looked up, about to ask how much faith power would be needed to save Xiao Weizhi.

The goddess of fortune did not open her eyes, her divine voice carrying a hint of disgust: "This familiar aura is truly repulsive."

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that He was referring to the aura of the God of Greed, and immediately asked anxiously, "Goddess, my partner Xiao Weizhi has been cursed by the God of Greed. If you were to save him, how much faith power would it take?"

Lady Luck slowly opened her eyes, sat up straight, placed her hands on the armrests on either side, and looked down at Lin Xiaoxiao, who had an anxious expression: "I won't save her. I loathe that disgusting aura of greed."

Lady Luck would love to wipe out everything related to the god of greed from this world; how could she possibly help Xiao Weizhi?

Lin Xiaoxiao bent her back at a ninety-degree angle, lowered her head, and spoke earnestly with a bitter voice: "Please help me. He is still young and should not have turned into that inhuman and ghostly appearance."

Each of the God of Greed's agents eventually loses their humanity and becomes neither human nor demon because they cannot control the source of pollution within their bodies.

In her previous life, Liu Duoxin did so many heinous things to maintain her sanity (sacrificing the Dragon Kingdom, sacrificing everything that could be sacrificed...), but she still couldn't escape the fate of becoming neither human nor ghost.

After a long silence, Lin Xiaoxiao stood in one position for nearly two hours, and due to the lack of oxygen, she began to feel dizzy.

Just as she was about to collapse, Lady Luck slowly spoke: "I can help him remove the curse."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise: "How much faith power do I need to pay?"

The goddess of fortune remained silent, her eyes piercing through the clouds as if looking through space itself. After a long while, she slowly spoke: "I do not need the power of faith. What I want is something you cannot afford right now."

When Lin Xiaoxiao heard the word "now," she knew there was still room for negotiation: "I can't afford to pay now, but I can pay later."

Lady Luck smiled knowingly: "Oh? Even if I were to take your life?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, finally returning to the "now" mentioned by the goddess of fortune, and the phrase "cannot afford it".

If it were a matter of life and death, she wouldn't say she couldn't afford it, which means that Lady Luck wants something else.

After a long silence, she nodded firmly: "Okay."

As if she had heard a joke, Lady Luck raised her head and laughed wildly, causing the surrounding clouds to tremble incessantly.

After He finished laughing, His eyes, glowing with platinum light, looked down at Lin Xiaoxiao with an air of authority: "I grant your request. Don't forget your promise to a god."

After saying that, Lady Luck waved her hand and slapped Lin Xiaoxiao away, along with a golden shooting star.

After Lin Xiaoxiao left, the goddess of fortune slowly crossed her right leg over her left, revealing a black energy chain binding her wrist as she changed her posture.

These energy chains bound Him, fixing Him firmly on His throne, preventing Him from leaving this space.

As Lin Xiaoxiao regained consciousness, she slowly got up from the ground, retrieved the Lucky Scales, and reached out to the sphere floating in the air, radiating a platinum-gold light.

Once the sphere was held in the palm of the hand, it instantly transformed into a teardrop-shaped crystal the size of a thumbnail.

Congratulations on obtaining: Purified Essence (Divine Level)

【Purified Essence (Divine Level): This is a purified essence extracted from the purest energy within a god's core by a deity. After use, it can purify all spells, bindings, negative buffs, etc. How to use: Place it on your forehead.】

[Special Note: Due to the excessive energy contained within the Purifying Essence Source, certain side effects may occur after use.]

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the Purification Essence and saw that it said it could purify and bind. She pursed her lips, took the Purification Essence, and turned to walk towards where Xiao Weizhi was.

Inside the room, Xiao's father and the others gathered around Xiao Weizhi's bedside, their expressions filled with melancholy.

Because the legendary peak-level doctor had just arrived, and after examining him, he simply shook his head, subtly reminding Xiao's father that he could start preparing for his passing.

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao entered the room, she smiled easily and said, "Uncle Xiao, there's only one way to save him."

After saying that, she placed the purifying essence on Xiao Weizhi's forehead under everyone's gaze.

The purifying essence, shaped like a water droplet crystal, merged directly into Xiao Weizhi's body upon contact with his forehead, followed by a slow bloom of platinum light emanating from within him.

The black mist within Xiao Weizhi's body gradually dissipated under the crushing force of this light, along with the life lines that had been intertwined between him and Lin Xiaoxiao.

[Use of purification items detected; forced binding is in progress: 1%, 2%...100%]

[Binding successfully removed. Congratulations on regaining your freedom.]

Once the binding was broken, the black mist within Xiao Weizhi's body completely disappeared, his weak breathing gradually became calm, and his pale face regained its rosy hue.

Seeing that Xiao Weizhi still hadn't woken up, disappointment crept into everyone's eyes, but they still forced a smile.

A golden light flashed from Lin Xiaoxiao's fingertip. She wiped it across her eyelids and carefully scanned Xiao Wei on the bed. After noticing that the black energy in his body had completely dissipated, she said in a relaxed tone, "Wei is sleeping. He will wake up tomorrow."

After sending Mr. Xiao and the others to rest, Lin Xiaoxiao sat on a chair by the bed, opened the information panel, and stared at it blankly for a long time:

Staring at the position of the missing Destined Bound Person, he sat for a long time before remembering the Eighth Rebirth quest that was still waiting to be completed. He immediately used 10 million Faith Power to exchange for a Quasi-God-level treasure chest that he had made himself.

After completing the task, Lin Xiaoxiao's level instantly jumped to 400, and her long-dormant Endless Treasure Vault skill turned from gray to bright:

[Congratulations on reaching level 8: Endless Treasure Vault (Legendary) (Active)]

After upgrading to the eighth level, the sea of ​​faith within her body increased several times in size, and the power of faith stored in the Dragon Kingdom's Temple of Faith was directly transmitted into her body from a distance.

Faith +1, +2... The more than 200 million Faith Power consumed earlier was slowly replenished by new Faith Power.

Late at night, Xiao Weizhi slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoxiao who was resting on the edge of the bed, slowly got up, carried her to the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

His long, slender fingers, with distinct knuckles, traced across her forehead and delicate nose, finally lingering on her red lips for a long time. He recalled their past words, his eyes filled with sadness and sorrow.

Back at the manor, during the three days Lin Xiaoxiao disappeared, Xingyan came to find him and said, "Xiao Weizhi, your level is too low; you can't even protect her while she levels up..."

Kagome: 'Your level is too low, try harder, don't hold her back...'

Lloyd Evans: 'Only love can remove all obstacles, strength can…'

Black Cat: 'Kid, your level is too low. What she'll be doing in the future...'

...

Even the mysteriously appearing black mist seemed to be saying, 'It's because his level is too low, so she can only pretend to be stupid and act coquettish in front of him.'

And in her unconscious state, the divine female voice spoke: 'You can't help her now... But I can...'

Xiao Weizhi gave her a very light kiss on the corner of her lips, his eyes resolute, and quietly left the room to go to the next room to find his father.

The next morning, news that Xiao Weizhi had woken up and suffered from amnesia spread throughout the entire Xiao family army.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood in the living room, her eyes red-rimmed, looking at Xiao Weizhi, who stood three meters away, expressionless, with a distant gaze as if he had a "keep away" label on him.

I recall that incredibly distant question I asked when we met: "Who are you?"

A bitter smile appeared on her lips. So this was the aftereffect.

He hadn't forgotten anyone, except her. Well, that was fine; the things she would have to face later were too dangerous, so it was better for him to stay here.

Lin Xiaoxiao responded to Xiao Weizhi's question with a smile: "I am your father's guest. I am staying here for a while and it will be time for me to leave soon."

Xiao Weizhi nodded slightly: "Yes, take care."

Not long after, Lin Xiaoxiao borrowed a car from Xiao's father and left Youcheng.

Xiao Weizhi stood by the window, her hands behind her back, her eyes reddening slightly, her gaze following the slowly moving figure below.

Watching her walk out, get into the car, and leave...

Xiao's father stood to the side and sighed softly, "Weizhi, if there's anything, you can talk it out. Why do you have to put on this amnesia act? Aren't you afraid she'll really leave you?"

Xiao Weizhi didn't answer his father; he just stared blankly in the direction the car had disappeared for a long time...
