Chapter 325: Chapter 70: Superman Xu Shu’s Attempts and Discoveries (6k for Monthly Pass)_4

Following that, the "well-dressed" Xu Shu returned to the front entrance of the inn and boldly walked in.

This Lighthouse Inn wasn’t as tall as the one at (19,12).

But it was much livelier than the one at (19,6).

As soon as Xu Shu entered, he ignored the watchful gaze of a team of brawny men, likely Wasteland Hunters, and confidently approached the front desk. He nonchalantly handed over two hundred-yuan bills and booked a very decent room on the third floor with a private bathroom and hot water.

After closing the room door, Xu Shu stripped off his clothes, walked into the bathroom, and directly consumed four Erosion Crystals. Without a word, he began to cocoon himself on the spot.

...

Time flew by quickly, and when Xu Shu finally emerged from the bathroom after thoroughly cleaning himself, he was glowing and brimming with energy.

"Hehe, such an intense burning sensation, leveling up feels great."

Xu Shu clenched his fists, thrust his hips forward, and activated the Promotion Drive.

*Promotion Network

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

*Contribution: 162

[Curse Seal: Warrior (Legendary) // Level: 18/20]

——

"Level 18! Sadly, the last breakthrough technique for Black Widow still eludes me. It seems I’ll have to wait for the big safety net at level 20."

"I also gained ten more Contribution Points, but that’s not the main point. The value of the Erosion Crystals I consumed far exceeds just ten points, hehe."

"Level 18, hehe, if it were at Flawless Level, the limit would be 18! Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, for example, is at this level."

"But my level 18 is far stronger than an ordinary level 18."

"Now, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I can stride across the Wasteland. Of course, I mustn’t let my guard down."

After confirming the results of his level up, Xu Shu closed the Promotion Network interface.

"All is ready..."

After some thought, he spread open the Tai Chu Scroll. His eyes were bright with determination, and he ultimately didn’t choose the path of conquest but instead selected—Legendary mode!

If he guessed right, the higher the potential danger level around, the richer the Life Pattern pool available in Legendary mode.

This theory had been preliminarily confirmed by Xu Shu during his encounter with Jianqi’s Chosen One.

However, this conflicted with the low-quality pool he had opened when he met Earl Lance.

Thus, Xu Shu decided to test it again this time.

The Tailed Ksitigarbha seemed a bit mysterious, having killed him twice already, which naturally qualified as a "grave crisis."

So, by initiating Legendary mode at this moment, on one hand, he could use Ksitigarbha to test whether the level of threat was positively correlated with the quality of the Life Pattern pool;

On the other hand, he could also seize the opportunity to gain another "Mark Altar." With some luck, he might directly obtain an ’exotic’ Mark Altar.

It was indeed a win-win situation—being a double win for Xu Shu.

"Come on, let’s see what you’re capable of. Legendary mode, activate!"

Within the overlaid visions, Xu Shu’s spirit soared to infinite heights, surrounded by the surging of the Chaotic Sea as he plummeted with it.

Then, the prompt appeared before him:

[You have entered Legendary mode, you have used 2 of your chances]

[Randomizing coordinates for you...]

[This time’s Legendary coordinates: ruins of the dead!]

[Randomizing identity...]

[Please choose one of the following four locations to be your birthplace.]

Xu Shu was all too familiar with the legendary mode’s different starting conditions depending on whether it was a 1/2/3 draw and didn’t feel unfamiliar at all.

With a two-draw legendary—he first confirmed his birthplace, then directly selected a character to start his life.

Therefore, the four birthplace options that came up next weren’t a surprise to him.

Next, he just needed to choose a place that seemed likely to have many issues arise.

"Hopefully, I won’t get some messy start this time; I’d prefer a mutant kind. Otherwise, I won’t be able to resist using another set of double entries, starting with those of the main Warrior Seal."

While he was thinking this, Xu Shu’s expression gradually stiffened.

Because the four cities appearing before him were...
