Chapter 274: Wants to die
[Montray Ore.
Quality: Special.
Type: Rare Consumable Ore.
Effect: When used during equipment upgrades, the chance of an unsuccessful upgrade is significantly reduced if an upgrade is made before +10.
If the upgrade fails, nothing will happen to the equipment.
Only one application.
Rating: None.
Description: Montray Ore is a very unique ore. The Kara people added this ore to the core of their spaceship. Because of this, the core of the ship became very strong.]
Su Xiao threw the obsidian-like ore into his inventory.
This time, the loot was very good. Su Xiao had been experiencing a shortage of soul crystals for a long time. They weren't sold in the marketplaces, but they could be purchased from major merchant factions.
The only problem was that a small soul crystal cost from 20,000 to 50,000 Paradise coins, and even large factions often did not have them in stock and had to order them.
Average soul crystals weren't sold at all. Those who were able to get them used them themselves, and no one sold such crystals, unless of course they urgently needed the coins of Paradise.
As for this ore, it was unique to this world, but in reality, this ore was rather unique to the current time as a whole, for if this world was taken over by Paradise, the people of Kara simply wouldn't be able to appear in this world in the end.
Su Xiao didn't dare upgrade the Dragon Flash to +7, because if the upgrade failed, it would return to its original state, and for each attempt, 3,000 Paradise Coins had to be given away.
From +7 onwards, a failed upgrade will cause the item to be destroyed...
But this ore solved a similar problem. She could guarantee that if she failed to upgrade to +8, nothing would happen to Dragon Flash. But unfortunately, this ore could only be used once. After applying it, it will disappear, regardless of whether the improvement is successful or unsuccessful..
Su Xiao calmly surveyed his crops while the contractors tried their best to contain the parasite hordes.
The battle gradually gained momentum and the contractors were losing ground more and more often, while the parasite hordes did not stop going ahead.
[Remaining time: 6 hours and 3 minutes.]
----
On the battlefield.
The King among the Gods swung his sword and cut off the head of another beast. The blood had long since completely covered his body, and he could no longer tell how many beasts he had killed.
The surrounding area was completely filled with corpses.
But the parasites were still coming at them in an endless stream, and many contractors were already mentally and physically exhausted by this battle.
This place was full of these things, and no matter how many of them they killed, they didn't run out.
— Mindless creatures, over here! The main tank of the Kings among the Gods roared and its eyes turned red. He raised his shield slightly and made a simple lunge that destroyed a dozen parasites.
*Ding!*
A strange weapon hit the tank's body. If it had hit an ordinary contractor, he would have been injured, but the tank only peeled off a little skin.
— Calm him down! The King among the Gods shouted, and one of the healers immediately stabilized the main tank.
After the tank calmed down, its eyes returned to normal.
This was a frequent occurrence on the battlefield. Contractors are real people, not killing machines.
After another hour of dogged defense, the contractors found that the parasite offensive had begun to weaken.
— Ha, it seems like we're about to win.
— Kill them all!
Laughter and curses rained down on the parasites, and the contractors ' morale rose noticeably.
But the faction leaders were concerned about this turn of events.
If these beasts really decided to stop attacking, that was good news, but if something stronger started attacking them now...
But they were in human territory.
Right now, the people of Kara were gradually retreating and this territory was the territory of humans, so there shouldn't be anyone stronger appearing here.
And Rai chose a very good time to drop off its contractors.
He decided to land his men at a time when the Kara people were weak and the humans were rapidly gaining strength.
The people of Kara knew of Paradise, but the people of this world did not.
After another half an hour, the parasites retreated. The contractors, ignoring the blood and bodies, began to rest.
Some of the contractors were shivering as they took out cigarettes...
[Remaining time: 4 hours 37 minutes.
Number of contractors: 259/289.]
Almost one-tenth of the contractors died.
War is not child's play. War is about putting living things in a meat grinder, and the winner was the one who stayed alive in the end.
The King among the Gods stood up heavily and immediately said into the military channel:
— Our guild of Kings among the Gods can send two people.
— The fraternity can also send two.
— We refuse! Silver Flash said.
Su Xiao was stunned. The character of the King among the Gods was quite good and he was willing to sacrifice someone for the common good.
Adam, surprisingly, was just as willing to single out two people from his Fraternity.
But the Silver Flash was driven by emotion, not reason.
— Flash, you... The leader of the Kings among the Gods felt helpless.
— This is a good chance, and it's best if you think about it again, " Adam's tone was very helpless.
— No, I'm not giving it up completely, I have another suggestion, " Silver Flash said. — Mr. Judge, the situation in our group is somewhat special, I can't reveal the reasons, but I want to send two girls with charisma greater than 25 points. They are twin sisters, and they do not need guards, because they themselves have sufficient strength. We want to send them as negotiators, but I do not know if the Judge will agree with this.
This was unexpected but welcome news.
«...»
Su Xiao replied with an ellipsis and didn't make any statement.
Silence could mean both consent and refusal. Right now, everything depended on the flash. He didn't want to waste his precious warnings on such a small matter.
— Thank you very much, Mr. Judge, " Silver Flash chuckled, looking thoughtful as she did so. "This Judge... He's not fair, but I like it when people like that are unfair.
Silver Flash bit her thumbnail and muttered — " I do not know why the King among the Gods was scared, but it only means that the Judge should not be provoked. Right now, he's released a task that tells us what we need to do... If this is what I think it is, then we will win.
The silver flash wasn't stupid. With such a simple action, she tested the Judge's attitude towards them.
Su Xiao, naturally being a neutral Judge, couldn't tell them, " I'll help you win».
If he did, his status as a Judge would be revoked and he would receive the appropriate punishment.
