"You know him well, so what? Have you guys become Stan’s pawns now?"
Su Xiao picked up the glass of iced orange juice on the table, the water droplets slid down the side of the glass.
"Of course not, it seems Brother Bai Ye knows quite a bit about this matter, so I won’t beat around the bush. Stan’s bounty is now valued at 1 million Paradise coins."
"Oh?"
The cup paused at Su Xiao’s lips, he truly didn’t expect that the situation with Umbrella Brother and Stan would escalate like this. Not only was Stan cuckolded, but the news spread widely. It’s no longer just about the hatred of having one’s wife stolen, it’s a matter of face.
"I advise you to stay out of this. The Divine Emperor, Blood Gate, and others are all involved. The people from Red Maple are making a mess of things. The mess wouldn’t be this big without Red Maple’s involvement."
"Uh..."
Black Merchant 24K showed a difficult expression. The Black Sail Merchant Group got involved in this mainly to bring down the Red Maple Commerce Association. As the saying goes, business rivals are enemies, not to mention their ways of rising were very similar, leading to numerous business conflicts.
Su Xiao hadn’t gotten involved in this matter, but he had a good relationship with Umbrella Brother and the Divine Emperor while he was opposed to Blood Gate. The situation had grown beyond who cuckolded whom. Umbrella Brother was just a target, and it seemed like various adventure groups were gearing up for a strategic confrontation.
Such a shameful matter, of course, Stan wanted to nip it at the source.
"Let’s continue the transaction. As you said before, I need to transform these things from fragmented to complete."
Su Xiao no longer engaged in idle chatter with the Black Merchant. Or rather, he wasn’t prepared to participate in the quarrels of the adventure groups. He didn’t yet understand the situation of the Fourth Tier—Divine Emperor and Blood Gate were large adventure teams within that tier.
"In that case, I won’t waste any more words."
Black Merchant 24K took out a test tube with a diameter of twenty centimeters and a length of nearly one meter from his storage space. The tube had a metal frame on the outside and yellow liquid inside.

...
The Black Merchant’s financial power was growing stronger, starting with just a Gold ~ Legendary Level item. As for why it’s at this special grade of Gold ~ Legendary, it’s because this item has great randomness, not as beneficial as it seems.
It’s important to note that what Su Xiao brought out was an entire adventure group’s worth of low-level gear and materials, including Gold and Light Gold materials. Without mentioning quality, the sheer quantity was astounding.
And the Black Merchant’s [Oxidation Fission Device], although seemingly able to directly enhance Legendary Level gear to +12, the possibility of enhancement only reaching +2 was higher. If calculating the cost of enhancing Legendary Level gear, reaching above +6 meant Su Xiao earned, below +6 meant the Black Merchant earned.
"With Mister Bai Ye’s luck, this thing would be very useful to you."
The Black Merchant 24K flattered subtly, but unfortunately, talking about luck with Su Xiao was pointless. His luck was so bad it was despairing. If he hadn’t fought through multiple derivative worlds, whether he would have the strength he has now was completely uncertain.
Normally, Su Xiao wouldn’t agree to this deal, but he had a piece of Legendary Level gear that desperately needed enhancement, which was the Spirit of Wood. The enhancement cost for the Spirit of Wood was too high, as it was a dual-form gear, thus the enhancement cost was more than 1.5 times the normal Legendary Level gear.
"Deal."
"Eh~"
Black Merchant 24K seemed a bit startled, not expecting Su Xiao to agree so readily.
A few minutes later, Black Merchant 24K left the café with a large amount of low-level gear and materials. As merchants, they were never short on time, so he had plenty of time to sell these items.
Su Xiao detached the Spirit of Wood clinging to the hem of his windbreaker, opened the cover of [Oxidation Fission Device], and directly threw the Spirit of Wood into the liquid, sealing it tightly.
[Spirit of Wood is catalyzing, remaining catalysis time: 20 hours 33 minutes.]
How much the Spirit of Wood would be enhanced by remained to be seen. After storing the [Oxidation Fission Device], Su Xiao got up and left the café, heading straight for his exclusive room.
Upon returning to his exclusive room, Su Xiao found Bubu Wang vigorously shedding fur on the treadmill. This guy didn’t sweat.
Su Xiao felt like the sun had risen in the west today; Bubu Wang, the lazy dog, was actually exercising? Normally, it would be lying on the carpet contemplating life or strolling down the food street.
Just when Su Xiao was ’shocked’ by the scene before him, Bubu Wang jumped off the treadmill, squatted on a nearby scale, and started weighing itself.
Bubu Wang seemed quite satisfied with its weight now, shook off its fur, greeted Su Xiao upon seeing him return, and walked out of the exclusive room, likely heading towards the food street.
Bubu Wang’s quirky mindset was something Su Xiao couldn’t comprehend for the time being. He sat cross-legged on the bed, a treasure chest appearing in his hand—a [Gold-set Treasure Box] that Su Xiao had obtained from Xiya Temple.
Su Xiao took out Fate Redemption, letting Qi Luck flow outward as he opened the Gold-set Treasure Box in his hand.
[You have opened the treasure box (Gold·Set).]

...
Seeing that the [Moon God Silver Ring] required 80 points in True Charm Attribute, Su Xiao already considered this thing junk in his mind, at least for personal use.
The Moon God Set couldn’t be called a Summoner’s dream set, but the collection difficulty was relatively low, requiring only two pieces. However, considering there weren’t many summoning-type Contractors, Su Xiao felt it might not sell well.
Putting away the [Moon God Silver Ring], this item could just be thrown onto the trading market for sale, at most incurring some stall rental fees.
After opening the treasure chest, Su Xiao took out three gemstones from his storage space—the Stone of Extinction, Stone of Magic, and Shadow Stone. These were three golden gemstones, which Su Xiao planned to synthesize and embed onto Dragon Slash.
In the future, if there’s another chance to obtain a Soul-Cutting Shadow Stone·Incomplete, it would still be embedded onto Dragon Slash. To synthesize a Soul-Cutting Shadow Stone·Complete, one can directly synthesize while it’s in the embedded state, eliminating the concern of the gemstone shattering during extraction and having no effect on the power within the Soul-Cutting Shadow Stone·Complete, as it’s a very special gemstone.
He previously spent 1,000 Paradise coins consulting Reincarnation Paradise about this matter, and their response was: there is no risk in synthesizing gemstones in an embedded state, but the gemstone will remain embedded after synthesis.
"Synthesize the Stone of Extinction, Stone of Magic..."
[Tip: Synthesizing requires a payment of 50,000 Paradise coins, pay yes/no.]
"Pay."
As soon as Su Xiao spoke, the three gemstones in his hand shattered open.
