Chapter 245: Chapter 42 The Blessing in Disguise, Prosperity on the Wasteland (Second Update, Please Subscribe)_3

Xu Shu nodded noncommittally and, after some thought, did not deliberately reveal his Transcendent identity, but instead simply asked about the accommodation prices.

There are two types of accommodation here. One is the nicer rooms located between the second and fifth floors at the middle of the "minister" character, two hundred a night.

The other option is the rooms from the sixth floor up to the twelfth, getting cheaper the higher you go, with the cheapest being eighty a night. Any higher could be free of charge, but there would be no bed and the place would be full of spider webs and dusty, with no one to clean it up.

The reason the higher floors were cheaper was mainly due to the scarcity of electricity in the Wasteland. Most of it was powered by electric motors. They had tried using photovoltaic power generation before, which wasn’t inefficient, but it tended to get knocked out at night by strange birds that flew about unexpectedly, so they mostly gave up on that idea.

Xu Shu, after some thought, took out a very neatly folded hundred-dollar note with a faint smell of sweaty feet and handed it to Brook, "Top floor for one night, and with the remaining twenty, get me some canned food."

"No problem," Brook concealed the disdain in his eyes very well.

...

For Xu Shu, climbing up to the mere twelfth floor naturally didn’t even require him to catch his breath.

After tidying up a bit, Xu Shu took out four white Erosion Crystals from the Black Widow Spider, as well as a blue one and a green one belonging to the Ground Worm and the little Slaanesh Demon, all of which were First Rank.

"Too bad, before throwing Lan Xin out earlier, I forgot to search her for any spoils of battle."

After a moment of consideration, Xu Shu decided to keep them and give priority to upgrading.

He arranged the Erosion Crystals in order, setting them aside.

Waiting for the Sit-ups CD to finish by morning, so he could consume them right away and level up.

After all this, it was already past eleven o’clock.

Unfortunately, Xu Shu had just broken through to level 15 last time.

Now, except for the blue one at level 16, the others were quite low level, especially those few from the Black Widow that were only three or four levels.

So, he figured that with what he had in hand, he probably wouldn’t be able to reach level 16.

Xu Shu himself could judge that with such white crystals, if a few more were to come along, like last time, reaching about ten or so, he should be able to successfully level up.

"Legendary Curse Seal, leveling up sure is expensive. The further you go, the more it costs. Without hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw in, don’t even think about leveling up."

Even though they were all First-tier Crystals, the white and green ones were worth forty to eighty thousand dollars each, and the blue one, if sold to the right buyer, could be at least double.

While alone, Xu Shu took another shower, entering with lots of dust on him and coming out clean.

Then he returned to his room, as usual made a human shape with the quilt on the bed, rolled himself under the bed, and even took out the Primordial Spirit figurine, facing it towards the door.

After all this, he took a leisurely breath.

Back in the Wasteland life, Xu Shu could be said to be quite experienced.

"Whew! Now, just wait for the Tai Chu Scroll to refresh tomorrow morning."

At this time, Xu Shu found a moment to push himself up from the ground, as tiny light particles in front of him condensed into a solid screen.

* Network Upgrade

* Gu Pan (Tai Chu), First-tier Warrior

* Contribution:12

* [Curse Seal: Warrior (Legendary) Level: 15/20]

"Lance didn’t count those dozen-plus Black Widows on my head?"

Seeing only 12 Contribution Points, Xu Shu felt quite aggrieved.

He had left for the trip with 8 points remaining.

On the way, he had grabbed two beast heads from the Sin Beasts, earning two points.

During the subsequent pioneering process, out of the fourteen creatures, he only got the heads of two white Black Widow Spiders, gaining two more points.

As for the attribution of the other Contribution Points, they went to the main killers among his teammates.

In total, there was one blue, three green, and ten white. The team had six people, and even gave Lan Xin, the healer, two points in the middle.

So what ended up in Xu Shu’s hands were just a pitiful two points.

However, after the last turn of events, Xu Shu managed to take the most valuable blue Erosion Crystal, which somehow made things not so bad.

Only with Lance, those Star Tower slain creatures not counting towards his own Contribution really irked Xu Shu.

Lie Zhenzi, you’ve changed!

Before, Divine Chosen killed by the Star Tower also got special Contribution rewards and counted towards his own leaderboard achievements.

Why not this time?

Would Lance have been able to throw those little spiders into your defense tower to die without my attracting their hostility?

Such an ungrateful Lie Zhenzi, how dare you deceive me!

Xu Shu clutched his fist angrily.

At that moment, he noticed that his team channel had not completely disbanded.

* Team: 4

Upon opening it, aside from himself, there were three people left: Hong Yan, Chen Nian, Bi Chaoyang. Lan Xin had left the team earlier, and Rudius had also left.

After some thought, to avoid finding himself on the ’Roll of Martyrs’ after returning to the city in a few days, Xu Shu typed a message and greeted:

"I’m back."
