Chapter 268: Chapter 51 Hunting Invitation (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Can emit light as a title?"

"What good is this thing?"

"Damn, are you kidding me?"

In the dim room, Xu Shu grimaced and spread out the Tai Chu Scroll with furrowed brows.

If a bystander were to see this, they’d probably think he’d lost his marbles.

Because from someone else’s perspective, it looked like he was suffering from delusions—nothing was in front of him and yet, he was acting as if he was caressing and examining something.

But actually, right in front of Xu Shu, was the props bar of the Tai Chu Scroll.

Now, Xu Shu had accumulated quite a collection.

Shiny mystical Chapters, several marks were imprinted.

Besides, there were some seemingly unhelpful props, things like little backstays, fishing hooks, and the like.

And titles were automatically arranged at the very front of the prop bar.

There was one [Sit-ups], a black taboo title.

Then came the flawless level [Enchanting Demon], superior rank [Chaser of Light], and the green [Joker Crown].

At this moment, Xu Shu was examining the recently acquired [Chaser of Light].

It had a cylindrical shape and looked somewhat like an oversized light bulb?

Uh... does it just glow?

This was the first time he discovered that a "blue" quality title was even worse than the "green" Joker Crown.

At least the Joker Crown had been of great service when he dealt with the sacrificial group of the Black Emperor’s son.

But this time, glowing? Like a flashlight?

But I don’t even go out at night...

So, besides lighting, what else is it good for?

Xu Shu fell into contemplation.

This legendary fate pool indeed moved up a notch, basically confirming his guess.

When there was a threat nearby, like the Earl lurking, it would improve the quality of the pool...

It seems the Earl still isn’t giving up on hunting me down, and there might be a further opportunity to threaten me.

But what’s the use of that?

Doesn’t it know that I have the Tai Chu Scroll, which allows me to foresee the future?

Xu Shu shook his head and gradually gave up thinking.

Because his stomach had started growling.

As is well known, hunger impairs one’s thinking ability.

So he decided to head downstairs to grab some food; it was just 6 PM, dinnertime.

Just as he thought this, his underwear buzzed.

"Who’s looking for me? uh, could it be Dongxuan True Monarch, urging me to quickly amass 20 contributions? I wish I could, but these things take time..."

Xu Shu adjusted himself and opened the upgrading network.

He found he’d guessed wrong.

The caller was Dao Mark Wang Teng’s "bride."

*Upgrading Network

*Private Message Channel

"What are you up to?" — Xie Xiaochan, Second Rank Seven-Colored Taoist.

These sudden, daunting three words made Xu Shu startle a bit.

He almost thought he had returned to his previous life, where a girlfriend would frantically inquire why he ignored her all day—uh, those people are like that, right? Xu Shu guessed, as he hadn’t had a chance to have a girlfriend in his previous life.

"Getting ready to eat, sister, what’s up?" — Gu Pan.

Because he didn’t know Xie Xiaochan’s intentions, Xu Shu replied rather politely.

The response came quickly.

"Just checking, last time you came and told me you were almost Second Rank, right? Just asking about your progress." — Xie Xiaochan.

"Uh, almost there~" — Gu Pan.

Xu Shu sent the message but was utterly confused.

Did I say that? Did I really?

I mean, even if I did, calling you ’sister’ was just a polite gesture, but you really take yourself as the boss, supervising my progress, right?

This girl’s mind seems a bit off, maybe next time I should get Wang Teng a new bride...

This thought had just flickered through his mind.

When the screen prompted:

[Xie Xiaochan has sent you a picture, it has been automatically saved.]

"..." Xu Shu.

When he opened it, it showed a selfie view of a two ponytailed Taoist lying on a bed.

She was wearing a clingy, black lace Taoist robe, her curvy figure fully displayed, and her expression was dignified yet serious, adding an unclear and ambiguous allure.

Moreover, she awkwardly made a ’yeah’ gesture with her left hand yet looked somewhat haughty.

A contradictory yet perfectly reasonable expression and temperament fused together on her.

"Sss~"

Xu Shu inhaled sharply.

At this point, he had already saved five photos of her.

Each one unique, and each one showed drastically different demeanors.

While admiring her changing demeanors as befitting the Seven-color Taoist, Xu Shu couldn’t help but wonder, what’s she doing sending me photos?

Last time she was this proactive was to trick me into her crappy dungeon to be a punching bag.

Could it be this time...

This thought had just surfaced.

Xie Xiaochan’s next message came through.

"Speed it up, let me know when you reach Second Rank, got a trigger item suited for the ruins of the Sea of Death recently, I need a reliable Second Order Iron Armor, thought it over and you’re the most trustworthy, you wouldn’t refuse, right? With me there, I guarantee a quick run." — Xie Xiaochan.

Xu Shu instantly arched an eyebrow:

"Another motherly healing gig?"

"Of course, didn’t you know that healers following the Mother Goddess route are the most popular at the Sea of Death?" — Xie Xiaochan.

"I thought that ruin was said to be deceptive, did they say we shouldn’t go?" — Gu Pan

"With me leading the team, what’s there to fear, sis said she’d have your back, so it’s settled then, just like that." — Xie Xiaochan.
