24: Counting the Harvest
"National-level mission?"
"This is the first time I've seen one; I only read about them in textbooks before."
"Back then, it seemed there was a Divine-level Boss rampaging, spreading a terrible virus, which was why the empire launched a national-level mission."
At this moment, Su Bai, of course, also received the mission notification.
However, when he saw the mission requirements listed, he couldn't help but be stunned.
It should have been like this a long time ago!
Those scoundrels used to bully us a lot; they could have struck back hard a long time ago.
After putting away the mission panel, Su Bai looked at his gains.
The equipment dropped by the World Boss was placed directly to the side; those items were too high-level, and he couldn't wear them at all.
If possible, he would like to sell this equipment and ask City Lord Zhao if there's a way.
Besides the equipment, what Su Bai cared about most were the scrolls.
"Type: Space Scroll"
"Grade: Legendary"
"Function: Ignores any time, any place, and any restriction, instantly teleporting you to your desired location. (Uses remaining: 5/5)"
Hmm!
This thing is too buggy!
I'm invincible now; who can kill me?
"Type: Time Scroll"
"Grade: God-level"
"Ability: Can reshape time, making the river of time flow backward, tracing back to ten minutes ago. Usages: 1."
Awesome!
Su Bai clenched his fists, a hint of indescribable excitement in his eyes.
This is a pure resurrection token!
And with this item, it's like having a cheat device.
After using his endless ring, he can directly go back ten minutes, refreshing the cooldown of the endless ring.
Su Bai now deeply felt the terrifying power of the endless ring.
With this equipment in his hands, it was no less powerful than some God-level equipment.
"Type: Resurrection Scroll"
"Grade: Legendary"
"Ability: After using the scroll, it can revive a creature that died within five minutes."
There's nothing much to say about this one; it's a simple resurrection scroll.
However, this item was quite useful for Su Bai.
You have to understand, if a Beast Master's beast dies, it's truly dead.
Completely vanished from this world.
Beast Masters can only re-contract new beasts and re-cultivate them.
This is also why Beast Masters have always been considered the bottom tier.
"Type: Skill"
"Name: Absolute Defense"
"Level: Legendary"
"Function: This skill is a passive skill. After learning this skill, you can withstand one fatal, certain-death blow. Cooldown: one month."
!!!!
Upon seeing this skill, Su Bai immediately crushed the scroll without a second thought.
It's simply fantastic!
This is absolutely the skill he needs most.
His current life-saving ability is truly exceptional.
Damage Transfer, Invincible Golden Body, Etherealization... these are all extremely powerful life-saving skills.
But this Absolute Defense directly compensated for the shortcomings in Su Bai's skills.
After all, he couldn't always maintain an ethereal state or keep the Invincible Golden Body active, could he?
If he were ambushed by some assassin master, having the Absolute Defense skill would give him time to react.
Now, he can truly be called immortal.
"Prompt: You have successfully activated the Merit function."
"Current faction: Meteor Empire."
"Current Merit Points: 1,000,000"
"Inviter: Jiang Lin"
The sudden prompt made Su Bai freeze for a moment.
Oh, an unexpected gain!
The Merit System is a system unique to the great empires, designed to reward those who contribute to the nation.
It must be because he eliminated two Bosses that he received 1,000,000 Merit Points.
He just didn't know how many things these tools could be exchanged for?
Su Bai opened the Merit Point warehouse.
"Storm Greatsword"
"Type: Weapon"
"Grade: Gold"
"Applicable Class: Melee"
"Usable Level: 80"
.........
...
Su Bai's eyes showed some disappointment as he looked at the equipment listed.
He didn't care for this equipment at all; it was like chicken ribs to him.
Given his current situation, he didn't need to act personally.
"Oh, there's a good one here."
"Star's Protection"
"Type: Skill Scroll"
"Grade: Epic"
"Applicable Class: Beast Master"
"Usable Level: Level 60."
"Skill Description: After activating this skill, you can designate a Beast, greatly increasing its defense for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes."
"Merit Points required for exchange: 20,000"
Su Bai didn't even think twice and directly bought this skill.
After learning the skill, Su Bai finally finished clearing out his items.
"Su Bai, are you back?"
An urgent knocking sound rang out, and Sun Kai's voice came from outside the door.
"Almost forgot about this kid."
When Su Bai took him away from the central square, he left this kid on the city wall, and then he himself rushed out of the protective barrier.
"It's fine, I'm already back."
Su Bai opened the door and looked at Sun Kai in front of him.
"Su Bai, you're simply my idol!"
"You're too amazing!"
Upon seeing Su Bai, Sun Kai immediately hugged him, looking extremely excited.
"Big brother, are you trying to crush me to death?"
Su Bai rolled his eyes and said grumpily.
"I thought you were dead! After you flew out, I was immediately knocked off the city wall, couldn't see anything."
"Later, I heard what the City Lord said."
Sun Kai recalled that scene, and a hint of worry involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, I'm not going to die."
"Where's that kid Zhao Song?"
"He still owes us twenty million; we need to get that money back!"
Su Bai certainly hadn't forgotten about the debt.
With the college entrance exam over, he would soon be leaving Tang City, so he had to get the money back.
"That kid probably got scared out of his wits and ran home already. Should we go to his house and block him?"
Sun Kai rubbed his hands together.
"Sounds good!"
Thinking of this, the two immediately left the room and walked towards Zhao Song's home.
Zhao Family Villa.
That guy Zhao Song was curled up inside the house, an undisguised fear in his eyes.
When the fierce beasts attacked the city just now, it almost scared him to death.
He rushed non-stop from the examination hall, quickly returning home, wanting to hide in the family's secret room to escape the disaster.
"Zhao Chong, get out here, you bastard!"
Cursing voices rang out from outside the villa.
"Why are those two here?"
Hearing the shouts downstairs, Zhao Chong couldn't help but frown and cursed under his breath.
"You son of a bitch, don't pretend to be dead inside."
"I know you cowardly fellow wouldn't dare to guard the city, so hurry up and get out here."
"Don't forget, you still owe us money."
"Good grandson..."
Sun Kai stood at the entrance of the villa, his insults growing fouler, attracting the attention of those around.
"Stop cursing, I'll come out, alright?"
Zhao Song's face was extremely grim as he shouted towards the door, then opened the villa's main entrance.
