Chapter 110, Chapter 110: 11.02 billion faith...
Late at night, Lin Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes and carefully moved off the bed without waking Xiao Weizhi, who was lying next to her.
After getting out of bed and putting on her outer robe, she slowly walked to her father's study, relying on her memories from the day, and gently knocked on the door: 'Knock, knock, knock'
Xiao's father's hoarse voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Lin Xiaoxiao gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Sitting at his desk, working under the lamp, Mr. Xiao looked somewhat surprised: "Xiaoxiao, what brings you here? Where's Weizhi? Come and sit down."
Lin Xiaoxiao pulled out a chair in front of the desk, sat down slowly, her expression very serious, and stated her purpose directly: "Uncle Xiao, I want to talk to you about a collaboration."
After thinking for a day, Lin Xiaoxiao had come up with a way to delay the madman, but this method required the help of Xiao's father, who was close to the quasi-god level.
If she can hold out for a year, no, for half a year, and allow her to reach level eight, she will have the strength to fight back.
Damn it, why does everything in my life seem to happen earlier than expected, and why do those people always seem to know her whereabouts, like that phone call with Xingyan?
This led Lin Xiaoxiao to a very absurd conjecture.
Does she have an undercover agent in her life? Otherwise, why would that group of people always know her location in advance and with such precision, and always act ahead of time, catching her off guard?
Mr. Xiao clasped his hands in front of his chest, a gentle smile on his face, as if indulging his younger relative: "Oh? What kind of cooperation does Xiaoxiao want to discuss with me?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked directly at the middle-aged man in front of her and said, word by word, "I need to go to area A, zone 08 to find something. I hope you can help me."
The smile on Xiao's father's face vanished instantly, replaced by a scrutinizing gaze as he stared at Lin Xiaoxiao, as if wondering how she knew about Area A.
In the Black Abyss, the closer an area is to the origin of the pollution, the higher its level, and the ranking is arranged as follows: E, D, C, B, A, S.
Area A, which Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to go to, was an extremely dangerous place. There were so many polluted beasts that it was almost impossible to find a place to step. There were almost no resistance forces from the Black Abyss willing to go to Area A.
Mr. Xiao crossed his arms and remained silent for a long time before asking in a hoarse voice, "I want to know why you want to go to Area A."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and said in a soft voice, "There is something I really need in Area A. I need that thing to keep the leader of an organization in check, so that I have time to level up; and I need a powerful professional to protect me as I level up."
Lin Xiaoxiao's original plan was that there were still a few years before the [New Creation] and [Hidden Light] gangs launched their agent hunt.
She could manage to sneak around and rise to the eighth level over these few years.
Then, they won over the wavering neutral agents, successfully participating in the Age of Gods Hunt, eliminating the leaders of the two gangs, and finally launching an attack on the source of the Black Abyss's pollution.
All the original plans were reduced to ashes by Xingyan's communication.
Mr. Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, weighing many thoughts in his mind. After a long while, he replied in a low voice, "I can protect you, but with my abilities, I may not be able to help you find what you are looking for in Area A."
Lin Xiaoxiao took out a box about half the height of a person from her space, slowly opened the box, and a set of [(quasi-god level) warrior professional outfit] radiating seven-colored light slowly floated up into the air.
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes; she couldn't delay any longer: "No, Uncle Xiao, you can do it. Your level is already stuck at 799 of the Nine Revolutions. You just need an opportunity to break through to the Quasi-God level."
"And I can help you break through to the level of a near-god, and with this set of equipment, sweeping through Area A will not be difficult for you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao stood up excitedly from his chair: "Are you sure?"
He has been stuck at level 799 for seven years, but he can't find any opportunity to advance to the quasi-god level.
Now some people say that it can help him break through to the level of a near-god.
Lin Xiaoxiao met Xiao's father's gaze and nodded firmly: "I'm sure, absolutely certain."
Xiao's father's heart pounded violently, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably: "Alright, if you can help me break through to the Quasi-God level, then I will help you go to Area A, get what you want, and upgrade your protection."
After confirming the terms and signing the contract, Lin Xiaoxiao slowly stood up, walked to Mr. Xiao, and said softly, "Uncle Xiao, please sit down."
After Xiao's father sat down, she released the lucky scales of her right eye, creating a special space to prevent energy leakage. She raised her hand to Xiao's father's forehead and mobilized the power of faith within her body into her hand.
A burst of intense golden light emitted a violent gust of air, blowing Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao's father's hair into disarray and their clothes fluttering in the wind.
As the diluted power of faith slowly flowed into Xiao's father's body through her palm.
An excruciating pain, as if tearing his soul to shreds, shot through Xiao's father. He gritted his teeth, gripping the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands. The veins on his face and neck bulged, making his face look ferocious.
Ten thousand units of faith power, twenty thousand units of faith power, thirty thousand units of faith power... up to two hundred thousand units of faith power, washed back and forth within Xiao's father's body.
It was as if an invisible wall had been smashed to pieces in this erosion, and Xiao's father successfully advanced to the level of a quasi-god.
With his eyes closed, Xiao's father sat on a chair whose armrests had been crushed, his aura rapidly increasing.
[Lin Xiaoxiao, the agent of Lady Luck, assisted Xiao Junxing, a ninth-level expert, in breaking through to the quasi-god level through the power of faith. Would you like to recruit her as a wish-granting official?]
Lin Xiaoxiao ignored the prompt and instead turned and left, leaving Xiao's father alone in the room to stabilize his level and the sudden surge of energy within his body.
She turned and went back into the empty room next door, opened the protective shield, and proactively dialed the communication module for Xingyan and Kagome.
Xingyan's carefree voice came through: "Contacting me so quickly, have you figured out how to handle this?"
Kagome greeted him gently, "Xiaoxiao, it's been a long time."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't exchange many pleasantries, but directly stated her thoughts: "Xingyan, here are a few broken divine cores for you. Can you hold off Nuenluo (the agent of the God of Creation) and Atums for a year? I need time to upgrade."
Xingyan's tone was somewhat frantic: "How could a divine core possibly hold off Nuenro? He can have as many of those as he wants."
"Don't forget, that madman Nuenro used to team up with Atums' little gang and slaughtered a lot of quasi-god level god agents."
Lin Xiaoxiao's lips curled slightly: "Where's the Ancient God Core?"
These words interrupted Xingyan's frantic rant, and she asked seriously, "Can you really find the Ancient God Core?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was calm: "Okay, I have four ancient broken god cores. How long can you hold them off for me?"
Xingyan quickly assessed the resources at his disposal and the people he could use, and gave an answer: "If nothing unexpected happens, I can barely hold you off for five months."
Five months? That's enough time for her to reach level eight.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "I will give you the things as soon as possible. You can make the arrangements first. Also, lend me 1 billion units of faith power."
Xingyan's roar made the small communication module tremble violently: "Get lost! You just throw around 1 billion? I don't have any! You still haven't paid back the 800 million faith power you owe me..."
Lin Xiaoxiao covered her ears with her hands, and only let go when Xingyan was tired of cursing: "800 million is a thing of the past life, we haven't lent it out in this life."
Xingyan started cursing again, the barrage of insults continuing. After she finished, she said irritably, "I'll have someone send it to you later. Don't forget, you owe me 1.8 billion high-level faith power."
Lin Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly: "Okay, if it works out, I'll pay you back double later."
If she loses, she probably won't even have a complete corpse left. If she has the chance, she can repay the debt in her next life.
After greeting Kagome, Xingyan hung up the communication module while cursing. He immediately instructed his subordinates to spread the news about the Ancient God Core and to devise a plan to create a fake location for the Ancient God Core. No matter what, he had to hold off that group of people for five months.
After Xingyan left, Kagome asked softly, "What do you need me to do for you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao pinched her index finger and thumb together and rubbed them together, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "I want to send Redtail, Treasure Hunter, Hill, Monette, and Terral to your place so that you can take care of them for me for a while."
She wanted to verify whether her guess was true or false, hoping that she was just overthinking it.
Kagome nodded: "And then?"
Lin Xiaoxiao continued, "Monet will be focusing on crafting a batch of epic-level or higher equipment during this time. When that happens, could you please have someone secretly send it to the Dragon Kingdom for me, and then convey a message: Time is running out, we need to speed things up."
Kagome listened silently to Lin Xiaoxiao's entire arrangement and softly agreed to it: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take Red Tail and Treasure Hunt to level up."
Kagome didn't say that she would also have someone keep an eye on Terral and Lauevin.
But as a long-time comrade-in-arms, Lin Xiaoxiao knew that Kagome would handle the matter properly and steadily.
Before hanging up, Kagome casually added, "I'll have someone send you 1 billion faith points later. Contact me if you need more."
He paused for a few seconds: "I thought you would keep hiding until you reached level eight."
Lin Xiaoxiao remained calm. Hiding? Now that she had made a deal with Xiao's father and had a quasi-god-level protector, as long as she didn't step into an S-level area, she could sweep through most of the Black Abyss Contaminated Zones. She no longer needed to hide.
Within five months, with the addition of the 2 billion units of faith power within her body, it would be enough for her to advance to the eighth level.
Meanwhile, Xiao Weizhi, who was still in the room, was pulled into a mysterious space by a wisp of black smoke.
This space was boundless black, with only a live broadcast screen made of energy hanging in mid-air, showing Lin Xiaoxiao talking and trading with her father Xiao Junxing, as well as Lin Xiaoxiao helping Xiao Junxing break through.
The black smoke swirled around him, and a hoarse voice said, "You see, she doesn't trust you. She always pretends to be stupid and acts coquettish in front of you. She will never take the initiative to tell you anything, and she will even turn around and make deals with your father. She doesn't care about you at all."
Xiao Weizhi stared intently at what was happening on the screen, her hands secretly clenching into fists. Her heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand. A red light flashed in her eyes for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
He forced himself to remain calm and replied, "My level isn't high enough, so it's only natural that she went to my father for help."
The black smoke laughed loudly: "Fine, keep deceiving yourself. I've already arranged for someone to deliver something to you. You can back out anytime. I'm waiting for you to come find me, hahahahahaha."
After laughing, the black smoke kicked Xiao Weizhi's consciousness out of this mysterious space.
As consciousness returned to his body, Xiao Weizhi slowly opened his eyes in the darkness. His hands, hidden under the blanket, were clenched into fists. Only he knew the resentment and sadness hidden in his heart.
Until the door was pushed open, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. When the bed next to him sank, he reached out and hugged her.
The next morning, Lin Xiaoxiao received a crystal ball containing the power of faith, sent by Xingyan and Ge Wei.
At the same time, she handed over Red Tail, Treasure Hunter, Hill, and Monette to the people sent by Kagome, and explained in detail why they should be sent to Kagome temporarily.
Her voice was gentle: "I need to go to a very dangerous place later, and it won't be convenient for me to take you with me. You should stay with Kagome for a while, and I'll come pick you up when I'm done with my work."
Then she said to the black cat, "Brother Cat, could you please take them to Kagome's place? I need you to take care of something with Lau Evan. Please come back after you're done, okay?"
Just a few days ago, Lau Evan contacted her through special means, saying, "I've run into some trouble and hope Black Cat can come back and help." This was a perfect excuse to transfer Black Cat away.
The black cat licked its paws and nodded in agreement.
While they followed the people sent by Kagome, Xiao Weizhi was called away by his uncles to complete the induction procedures.
Lin Xiaoxiao extended her index finger and gently flicked one of the crystal balls.
The next second, the crystal ball shattered, and billions of units of faith power surged into her body.
A few minutes later, after enduring the excruciating pain of having her bones broken, she gasped for breath and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "If it weren't for the Dragon Kingdom's protection, which allowed me to open my Sea of Faith ahead of time, I wouldn't be qualified to store so much faith power in my body at my current level."
After resting for more than twenty minutes, she used the same trick again, absorbing the power of faith from the other crystal ball into her body.
An hour later, she left a note on the table in the room saying she had to go out and would be back later, and quietly left the right city for the left city.
Not long after she left, Xiao Weizhi returned to the room, read the contents of the note, gave a self-deprecating smile, and crumpled the note into a ball with her fist.
Lin Xiaoxiao drove the vehicle skillfully through the bustling streets of Zuocheng.
More than an hour later, the vehicle stopped in front of a modern building.
Lin Xiaoxiao opened the car door and tossed a 1-point wish coin and the key to the doorman, asking him to park the car.
Then she skillfully navigated the magnificent lobby, past various white and black professionals, and found a teleportation magic circle in a small room in the staff break room. She stood on it and used her driving energy.
The magic circle emitted a burst of pink light.
A moment later, Lin Xiaoxiao stood in a room with many pink gauze curtains hanging in the air.
In the center of the gauze curtains was a soft couch, on which lay a beautiful woman whose clothes were disheveled, revealing large expanses of fair skin. Surrounding her were four men, all of whom were exceptionally handsome and well-built.
The woman opened her red lips and ate the grapes that one of the men peeled for her. She raised her eyes with a charming smile and said, "Oh, a rare guest. How dare you come to see me at this level?"
Lin Xiaoxiao walked to a chair 3 meters away from the woman and sat down, smiling gently: "I dare to come here at this level, naturally I have my own reasons."
They didn't dare come before because they had no means of retaliation;
But now that she has the 2 billion faith power borrowed from Xingyan and Kagome, even if negotiations break down, she can still beat her up and leave safely.
The woman waved her hand, signaling her male companion to leave. She slowly sat up from the soft couch, tugged at her clothes, and asked in a languid tone, "Need to introduce myself?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No need."
At the peak of the quasi-god level, Ina, the agent of the God of Love, is a veteran agent who has lived for over 500 years and survived three [hunting of the gods] operations by Nuenro (the agent of the God of Creation).
Ina tossed her hair, then made a surprise attack. Pink light condensed into a claw, which flew straight towards Lin Xiaoxiao's heart at an extremely fast speed.
Lin Xiaoxiao's right hand flashed with golden light, and with a gentle tap, the pink light was smashed into dust.
In the next minute, the two exchanged over a hundred moves in a flash. Pink and gold energy beams darted wildly through the room, accompanied by deafening crashes, occasionally shattering a vase or a table...
When Ina's probing stopped, the entire room, except for the area where the two of them were sitting, had been destroyed and was in a state of war damage.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was not low in level but had considerable combat power, Ina decisively gave up the idea of killing Lin Xiaoxiao.
She slumped back into the recliner, took out a cup of black tea, held it without drinking, and struck a graceful pose: "Just tell me why you came to see me?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked directly at her, her voice calm: "Help me."
Ina scoffed and sat up, abandoning even the most polite language: "Help you? First of all, I'm not crazy. You're only at level six, with no power, no followers, nothing at all. Do you think it's possible for me to help you take down Nuenro and Atums?"
"Both of them are ancient beings who have lived for over a thousand years. The organizations and intertwined forces behind them are not to be underestimated."
"Don't forget how your predecessors died. At least they had something, some influence, or some manpower. You're just a half-crippled commander with no skills. How can you fight those two lunatics?"
Ina lives in Mona City year-round, but she has her own channels for this information, so she can receive news immediately whenever anything happens.
Ina was fully aware of Lin Xiaoxiao's predicament; to be precise, ninety percent of the neutral agents were aware of it and indicated that they did not want to get involved.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Ina, are you sure you can survive the fourth [Hunter's Era]?"
All the agents knew that Nuenro and Atums were plotting to restart Operation [Hunting the Age of Gods], but they didn't know what the pretext for this war would be.
Ina crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and said arrogantly, "Heh, if I can't beat you, I can at least dodge?"
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled and nodded, seemingly agreeing with Ina's words: "With your abilities, you can definitely avoid being hunted, but you've forgotten one thing, Ina."
"There aren't many quasi-god level gods left now. The others are either suppressing their level or are newly born beings like me with very low levels."
The implication is that once all the agents of the gods who possess divine cores have been hunted down, they will definitely target the agents hiding in the Black Abyss.
As the agent of the goddess of love who has lived for over 500 years, Ina was definitely the first target to be operated on. The reason was simply because she had lived long enough and her divine core was large enough.
Unfortunately, the Divine Core can only be condensed when the agent reaches the Quasi-God level.
Ina understood what Lin Xiaoxiao meant. Her rosy face instantly turned ashen, and her fingers, painted with red nail polish, clenched into fists, with bright red blood dripping from her hands.
Seeing Ina's expression, Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, "She still loves to act."
Knowing that she had achieved her purpose for coming today, she got up, patted her slightly wrinkled clothes, and turned to leave.
Some things are better left unsaid; there's no need to get an answer right now.
Ina sat on the recliner and whispered to Lin Xiaoxiao's back, "How can you be so sure I have to choose you?"
After all, there are quite a few gods in the neutral faction. Choosing those gods who are already at the ninth level and about to reach the quasi-god level will give them a higher chance of victory than choosing Lin Xiaoxiao, who has nothing.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't turn around, but simply raised her hand and waved it behind her. Before stepping into the magic circle, she left with the words, "You can try."
After she left, Ina stopped her clumsy performance, chuckled, and leaned back in her recliner. Her left hand, glowing with pink light, brushed over the crescent-shaped wounds on her right hand. A few seconds later, the wounds returned to normal, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao is right. If those neutral fence-sitters were reliable, Ina wouldn't have been hiding in Mona City for over 300 years like a stray dog.
Three hours later, Lin Xiaoxiao drove back safely to the residence of the Xiao family's team in Youcheng.
Back in her room, as soon as she turned on the light, she saw Xiao Weizhi sitting on the sofa for who knows how long. She smiled and asked, "Why didn't you turn on the light?"
Before Lin Xiaoxiao returned, Xiao Weizhi had thought a lot. He wanted to question her and lose his temper, but after she came back, he swallowed all his resentment and showed a gentle smile: "I was thinking about something just now and forgot."
The next morning, Xiao's father handed over all the affairs to Chen Hao and the others.
This means there are some things that need to be taken care of. They are to keep an eye on Liu Yuan and his group. If anything serious happens, they should handle it if they can, and if not, they should wait for him to return.
Then the three of them (Lin Xiaoxiao, Xiao Weizhi, and Xiao's father) embarked on their journey to Area A.
After a 15-day journey at high speed, the three of them successfully flew over Area A. Xiao's father floated in mid-air, with Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi by his side.
Lin Xiaoxiao put her index and middle fingers together and smeared them on her eyelids, covering her eyes with a light golden glow.
The next second, it was as if her eyes had been fitted with an invisible night vision mirror, allowing her to clearly see the polluted beast horde below, huddled together and struggling to even turn around.
They roared and opened their mouths to bite at the air where Lin Xiaoxiao and the others were.
Father Xiao looked down at the corrupted beast below and took out a weapon from his spatial storage: "Shall we go down and fight?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I'm not going down. I'll fight here. Uncle Xiao, could you please help me clear out the polluted beasts that are attacking us?"
Then he said to Xiao Weizhi, who was standing next to him, "Weizhi, come on, unleash your full potential here."
After she finished speaking, she opened her spatial dimension and scattered gold coins down as if they were free, creating a dazzling rain of gold coins that drifted down in the darkness.
Explosions occurred one after another among the polluted beasts below.
The fiery red light, carrying a burnt smell, illuminated the darkness, attracting countless polluted beasts from the surrounding area to rush towards their location.
The polluted beasts, which were very far away, sensed the energy of the divine agent and also rushed in this direction.
A red and purple magic circle, 35 meters in size, appeared out of thin air beneath Xiao Weizhi's feet. Fireballs the size of heads and lightning bolts as thick as arms rained down on the polluted beast horde below, mixed with a shower of gold coins.
Explosions of all sizes were created, and countless polluting beasts were reduced to ashes in these explosions.
Congratulations to Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi...
Congratulations on your upgrade...
...
Time flew by. Just as Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi were constantly using their skills and leveling up rapidly, Xiao's father shielded them from countless flying pollution beasts.
Two hours later, Xiao Weizhi reached level 250 first and obtained the seventh job advancement quest:
[Slayed 30 million corrupted beasts [0/30000000]]
Not long after, Lin Xiaoxiao reached level 250 and received the seventh job advancement quest:
Craft 5 Epic Chests [0/5]
However, she had no intention of completing the task step by step. Instead, she used 3 million faith points to exchange for five epic treasure chests made by herself.
Before long, the seventh-tier upgrade quest was completed, and Lin Xiaoxiao's level successfully reached 251. At the same time, she received the seventh-tier skill reward:
[Golden Upgrade (Quasi-God Level): Upgrades the level of skills, items, weapons, equipment, treasure chests, etc., using a large amount of Faith Power]
After acquiring this skill, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately spent 5 million Faith Power to upgrade her Diamond-level Gold Coin Critical Strike to Legendary level.
[Gold Coin Critical Strike (Diamond Tier) skill... Upgraded to (Legendary Tier)]
Then, with the help of Xiao's father, Lin Xiaoxiao successfully obtained the four ancient god cores hidden in the coffin deepest in the polluted beast horde.
[Congratulations on obtaining 4 Broken Ancient God Cores (???)]
[Broken Ancient God Cores (???): These broken god cores come from fallen gods. Many years have passed, and these cores still possess intense divine power...]
