Chapter 44. The Two Realms of Rock and Flame (10③): Obtained...
The savage stared intently at the prosthetic leg on Lin Xiaoxiao's right leg, his gaze filled with an envy that others couldn't comprehend.
Seeing that the savage did not attack immediately, Lin Xiaoxiao's rapidly beating heart and tense body relaxed a little.
Seeing that the savage did not speak, she did not speak either.
The savage watched for a while with reluctance, then got up and patted his fur coat, instantly filling the tent with a cloud of yellowish-brown dust.
"Cough cough cough." Lin Xiaoxiao choked on the dust kicked up by the savage.
The savage scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his tone clearly apologetic: "Sorry, I forgot your tent isn't very spacious."
Forgot that tents aren't very spacious? That sounds so sarcastic.
Lin Xiaoxiao's lips twitched twice, suppressing her displeasure, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand: "It's okay, this tent is indeed not very spacious, so, who are you?"
The savage pointed to the black cat lying on its bed, licking its fur: "I came to find it, and I also came to see you."
Following the wild man's movements, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the black cat licking its fur, pointed at herself in confusion, and asked, "See me? Do I know you?"
Could it be someone related to the original owner of this body?
The savage's gaze lingered on Lin Xiaoxiao's right foot for a few seconds before he shook his head: "I don't know you, but we'll probably have a lot of contact in the future."
After saying that, the savage threw a shiny, irregularly shaped piece, about half the size of a palm, resembling a small piece of broken porcelain, at Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have time to think much before reflexively reaching out to catch the fragment.
The next second, the fragments turned into a burst of light and melted in her palm, followed by a notification sound:
Congratulations on obtaining Mao Chang's (attendant of the God) contact information!
Congratulations on obtaining the special section: Special Contact Module
The special contact module is now officially open. Currently, the following contacts have been recorded: [1/1] (list collapsed)
A servant? Someone like her? Long-haired? That's a very distinctive name.
And what does the customer list module mean?
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression became somewhat strange.
When Mao Chang saw that Lin Xiaoxiao had added his contact information to her contact list, a satisfied smile curved his lips, hidden beneath his beard.
Before Lin Xiaoxiao could speak, a flash of light appeared in Mao Chang's hand, and a familiar small crystal ball appeared.
He tossed the crystal ball containing the power of faith in his hand twice and said to Lin Xiaoxiao in a very familiar tone, "Give me a gold-level treasure chest."
Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze remained fixed on the glass sphere imbued with the power of faith, her face clearly displaying the words "I want it."
After a moment, she replied to Mao Chang in a dry voice: "I'm sorry, I don't have any gold-level treasure chests at the moment, the highest level I have is silver."
Mao Chang looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a shocked expression, as if to say, "Are you kidding me? You, as a treasure chest merchant, don't even have a gold-level treasure chest?"
He reached up and scratched his messy hair, his tone somewhat irritated: "This is troublesome. You still don't have a gold-level treasure chest."
Just as Mao Chang was complaining.
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that she hadn't used the three [Experience Chests] she had this month.
Moreover, there's a batch of experience coins that Xiao Weizhi traded with her in the space that she hasn't used yet. If she just piles them up, she should be able to make a gold-level treasure chest.
She was just considering whether she really wanted to use tens of millions of experience coins and the tens of millions of experience points she currently had to build a golden treasure chest and exchange it with this mysteriously appearing divine servant.
Is it worth it?
She bit her lip, hesitated for a few seconds, and tentatively asked, "I can certainly produce a golden treasure chest, but the price you'll have to pay might not be low."
Lin Xiaoxiao was also very curious. Did this 'wild man' come to her door just for a gold-level treasure chest?
Upon hearing this, Mao Chang's dimmed eyes instantly lit up.
After hesitating for a moment, he said with some hesitation, "Okay, take it out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately took out an experience treasure chest and poured all the experience she currently had into it.
Under the influence of millions of years of experience, the box gradually transformed from a simple wooden box into a magnificent silver metal box, with a few corners tinged with gold.
But that's still not enough.
Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, quickly picked up the small box containing 300 experience coins from a corner of the space, and poured all the experience coins into it at once.
After absorbing all the experience coins, the box emitted a faint seven-colored light. After the light faded, the box had transformed into a treasure chest forged from gold.
The treasure chest was placed on the ground, and the light from inside the tent shone on it, giving it a soft, golden glow that made it look exceptionally precious.
Mao Chang took out a scroll from his spatial storage and handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao along with the crystal ball containing the power of faith: "Use this forbidden spell scroll and 300 points of low-level unclaimed faith to buy this gold-level treasure chest from you."
Lin Xiaoxiao took the two items, and then the properties of the two items appeared before her eyes:
Congratulations on obtaining: Water-type Forbidden Spell - Raging Tide (Silver Grade)
[Raging Tides: Water-based forbidden spell; 20-second casting time; after casting, sixty massive waves capable of sweeping across a radius of three kilometers will form; duration 2 minutes; damage: 20,000 damage per second; mana cost: 200,000; cooldown: 3 hours/time]
Congratulations on receiving: 300 points of Unclaimed Faith (Low-level)
Holding the two items in her hands, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded to Mao Chang, indicating that she approved of the deal.
Mao Chang put away the golden treasure chest, turned to the black cat that was licking its fur and pretending to be very busy, and said, "Your injuries have almost healed. It's time to come back. Don't forget our promise."
When the black cat heard Mao Chang's words, its ears twitched, and it paused for a moment while licking its fur, but then continued licking its fur as if nothing had happened.
Mao Chang was clearly used to the black cat ignoring him.
After speaking with the black cat, he turned to Lin Xiaoxiao and earnestly advised her: "You should level up quickly. At your current level, you need to use experience to get even a golden treasure chest. If other officials, followers, or servants come later, you might not be able to handle them."
Willing to serve as an official? Attendant? Servant?
Is this their hierarchy? Why didn't I hear the term "agent"? ...
Lin Xiaoxiao had countless questions in her mind and was about to ask Mao Chang.
Unexpectedly, Mao Chang casually waved his hand, and his figure disappeared into the tent, leaving behind the words: "Keep leveling up, I'll come back to find you later."
The conversation and transaction between Lin Xiaoxiao and Mao Chang only took about fifteen minutes.
The sudden appearance of Mao Chang left her with many questions, so she waved and left.
With beads of sweat on his forehead, Xiao Weizhi lifted the tent flap and asked, slightly out of breath, "Xiaoxiao, aren't you up yet?"
Lin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her reverie, put the crystal ball containing the power of faith back into her spatial storage, and handed him the azure scroll in her hand: "You're awake, this is for you."
Anyway, this thing is useless to her, but giving it to him can enhance their combat power and better protect their lives.
Xiao Weizhi took the forbidden spell and saw that it was a silver-level water-type forbidden spell. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Same as before, I'll give you gold coins and experience coins?"
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "I want experience coins for everything."
She still has gold coins, but she's used up all her experience coins. She should save up more experience coins.
If we encounter a situation like today again, at least we'll have a Plan B to salvage the situation.
However, we still need to level up quickly. From what Mao Chang said, we can roughly guess that as long as we level up, higher-level treasure chests will definitely appear later, as well as some people who want to buy treasure chests from her.
Xiao Weizhi's spatial ring on his right index finger flashed, and he put the forbidden spell in his hand into it.
Keep this safe for now; it's not the best time to study.
"Boss, Xiaoxiao, hurry! The monster horde is too frenzied tonight, and Captain Gu can't hold them off." Jiang Tao's anxious voice came from outside the tent.
Xiao Weizhi and Lin Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and immediately ran outside.
Gu Qingqi kicked the red flame giant lizard at his feet away and smiled wryly at Xiao Weizhi, who was rushing over behind him: "Weizhi, hurry up, something's not right tonight."
Xiao Weizhi led Lin Xiaoxiao to the middle of the two teams, stood firm at the best casting point, his brow furrowed slightly, and the flickering firelight reflected in his glasses: "What's going on?"
Wang Hao fired another volley of energy bullets from his dual pistols, speaking rapidly but clearly to explain the current situation: "The BOSS has appeared, and there's more than one."
Xiao Weizhi's expression was solemn. He glanced around in the distance but didn't see the BOSS: "Where is the BOSS?"
Chen Feng cleaved four or five demonic beasts away with a single sword strike and replied in a deep voice, "The three BOSSes have all escaped with the S-class and SS-class teams. They should be in the southeast area right now, but the distance is unclear."
Chen Yijin continued, "The three bosses are the Crimson Flame Giant Lizard leader we saw before; a snake-like boss; and another one that's not very clear, but it looks like a crab..."
While receiving the information from her companions, Xiao Weizhi quickly selected the useful information in her mind and wrote it down.
He swung his staff rapidly, unleashing a series of skills to quickly clear out the densely packed monsters in front of him, leaving no space between them.
Congratulations on defeating the level 34 Rock-tailed Rattlesnake! Experience gained: 16789
Congratulations on defeating the level 44 Crimson Flame Giant Lizard! Experience gained: 37823
Congratulations on defeating the level 28 Lava Crab! You have gained 8232 experience points.
...
This time, all the monsters that came were low-level. If one skill wasn't enough to kill them, then we'd just have to hit them with a few more. Amidst the booming explosions, messages about gaining experience kept refreshing.
Although the level was low, the number of them was much greater than before. The crimson earth was almost never seen; instead, there were all sorts of monster scales, shells, and bodies...
The battle, which lasted for dozens of hours, left many of the professionals present dead or wounded.
Most professionals die from being overworked and losing their composure for a few seconds, allowing the monsters to seize the opportunity to devour them.
Several members of both the Dragon Fang and Tiger Roar teams had already given up and retreated to the back to rest.
Xiao Weizhi gritted his teeth and continued to throw out skills, a series of fireballs that created a series of explosion zones.
Dozens of monsters were blown to pieces, and scattered gold coins fell from their broken bodies. Occasionally, one or two pieces of equipment could also be seen.
"Buzz—All professionals, retreat to the residential area! All professionals, retreat to the residential area! All professionals, retreat to the residential area!"
"In twenty minutes, the super-large forbidden spell will fall, and the protective shield of the residential area will be activated. Teams still outside at that time will have to bear the consequences themselves."
A loudspeaker announcement instantly resounded throughout the battlefield where the professionals were located.
Xiao Weizhi instructed in a deep voice: "Pack up the tents and other things, and we're going back to the residential area."
In eight minutes, everything in the back was packed up and stuffed into Lin Xiaoxiao's space.
The two teams sprinted towards the residential area and successfully entered it two minutes before the countdown ended.
After all the professionals returned to the residential area, Xiao Weizhi threw more than twenty bronze-level hypnotic grenades outwards before the protective shield could rise.
Immediately afterward, the protective shield rose up, and all the professionals in the West District witnessed an exceptionally spectacular meteor shower.
Countless red and purple meteor fireballs rained down from the sky, landing among the horde of monsters and creating a series of powerful explosions. Countless sparks flew onto the monsters, igniting flames that could not be extinguished.
This meteor shower covered an area of hundreds of kilometers, including the BOSS and the low-level monsters. Occasionally, one or two small black dots could be seen floating in mid-air, fighting with the BOSS.
When all the professionals could only watch helplessly as those monsters were strangled by forbidden spells, unable to gain even a sliver of experience.
The Dragon Fang Squad sat inside the protective shield, basking in experience points.
This was all because Xiao Weizhi had thrown outwards with his backhand those twenty-odd bronze-level hypnotic grenades before entering the residential area.
The meteor shower lasted for a full day and night. Of the three bosses, one was killed (the one that looked like a crab), one was maimed (the one that looked like a snake), and one escaped (the leader of the Crimson Giant Lizards).
During this time, Longya and Huxiao returned to their previous remote territory and set up camp.
Just as everyone was resting and asleep, the black cat slowly opened its eyes, jumped down from its cat bed, and prepared to leave.
Just as it was about to leave, Lin Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and whispered, "Boss Black Cat, will you come back?"
The black cat paused in raising its front paw, then opened its mouth and uttered a very soft word: "Hmm, there's a chance."
Just as it was about to leave, Lin Xiaoxiao asked again, "Can I know your name?"
The black cat hesitated for a moment, then uttered a name: "My name is: Terral!"
After saying that, he leaped into a vortex and disappeared into the tent.
Lin Xiaoxiao buried her head in Xiao Weizhi's chest, the corners of her mouth curving upwards with a hint of bitterness.
No wonder the black cat took over the cradle cat bed as soon as it appeared; it turns out that cat bed was something the cat used to have.
And silently decided in his heart that he would put away this cat bed from now on and give it to the black cat boss (Terra) to use.
After returning to the capital, she will spend money to customize a special little home for Redtail.
Hmm, let's customize one for the treasure-hunting mouse too.
Xiao Weizhi overheard the conversation between Lin Xiaoxiao and the black cat. Without opening his eyes, he rested his chin on Lin Xiaoxiao's head, patted her back, and softly advised, "Sleep for a while. You'll have a chance to see her again in the future."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, yawned, and fell asleep in Xiao Weizhi's arms.
Shortly after the black cat disappeared, a light blue chain formed of energy appeared out of nowhere around the treasure-hunting rat's neck, breaking apart like shattered glass.
The treasure-hunting mouse opened its dark, beady eyes, a look of relief flashing across them. The contract was complete, and its life was spared.
