Chapter 486: Chapter 124 Xu Shu: Danger! (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

So,

Xu Shu scratched his head over the calculations on the paper.

When he was a First Rank, he had consumed nearly ten blue crystals to level up.

With a quick calculation,

that amounted to a loss of several million!

So, Xu Shu was practically dead.

He felt utterly devastated!

"Isn’t there a rich lady who views money as dirt to give me some support~"

"Everything that doesn’t kill me might as well kill me now~"

Xu Shu lay on the bed, wailing weakly.

His body felt limp, like a softened marshmallow, melting in heaps.

Wailing and wailing,

Xu Shu’s heart gradually came to terms with it.

After all, if he had saved those blue or higher quality crystals to sell for cash and bought cheaper white and green ones for leveling up, he might have been killed by enemies long ago.

It was all fated, every bite and every sip.

Meanwhile, Xu Shu also came up with a bold idea.

Originally, after learning he was a Second Rank, he felt only slightly better than when he was at First Rank; it was still frustrating.

So what if it’s Second Rank?

Still worried about money, still risking his life fighting against Second Rank monsters?

Playing with death to level up at First Rank, and still playing with death at Second Rank, there was no difference, so had this tier upgrade was useless?

But then, Xu Shu suddenly realized a mistake he made from the beginning.

Not every Second-order Transcendent has to fight to the death.

Those with family power have their elders covering them.

Take Gu Pan and the others, for instance, a group of First Ranks training in combat has three Second Rank elders accompanying them: a healer, a radar (a rascal), and a main character (a Fire Mage) — a perfect combo.

Although most of them died miserably, the appearance was set, after all.

But when all is said and done, it comes down to one thing — money.

Like Tang Rou, Gu Yue Ming, Song Qixing, those Second Rankers mingling with First Ranks, are they doing it because they have too much time on their hands?

Of course not.

They’re accompanying the juniors because they’ve taken on a mission, and once completed, they receive corresponding rewards.

Joining First Ranks in their shenanigans and earning loads of money, wasn’t that much better than risking their lives in the wilderness?

For wealth’s sake, a man would die, as birds would for food, it has always been so.

Xu Shu had no elders to rely on.

But first, he could join an organization—the Supervision Bureau. Surely they would not reject someone ranked 250 on the Qingyun List, which could get him a relatively safe and well-paying job like becoming a prosecutor for the Judgement Department.

The work of a prosecutor was easy; he only had to wield his authority in the city, conducting anti-corruption raids and anti-cult seminars when necessary, sitting there enjoying respect and admiration, while criminals had much more to worry about, like methods of committing crimes, targets, timing, location, and how to kill a whole family to most impact the security ratings of a safe zone.

Overall, that was a cushy job. Back when Xu Shu was still a high school student, he admired those prosecutors the most.

Back then, he could only stand on the sports field under the blazing sun enduring their incessant babbling, but now, with his own strength and confidence, he also had a chance to become one of them.

Unfortunately, it’s said that judges earn more and don’t have to do fieldwork as arduously or risk being captured when infiltrating enemy territory.

Unfortunately, judges usually need a background, power, and Xu Shu was not exactly suitable for this path.

As far as he knew, judges were typically lawyers by profession, peculiarly the Second Rank of this profession was called "prosecutor."

However, if one path was blocked, Xu Shu had another option.

That was to make a fortune by selling high-level Marks!

His eyes landed on the Mark "Doctor," and instantly, he had a very bold idea.

He could completely use the Tai Chu Scroll Legendary mode, choose it twice, and mass-produce high-level Marks.

It didn’t need to be very high quality; just reaching Purple Quality would suffice, as a Purple Curse Seal sold for many times more than a blue one.

The only problem was that the ’fate pool’ of Legendary Mode wasn’t fixed; not every time would he get a high fate.

So far, his highest draw from Legendary Mode was a Purple Flawless Level.

And the worst time, during a ’green and white start’, turned him into a lizard, eventually earning a Blue Quality Mark Altar, through the means of a Boatman.

Yet even so, because of the rule that ’a talisman could be one quality lower than a Mark,’ Xu Shu still profited.

Find a reliable person to buy a green talisman, combine it with his Mark, and the output was a blue Curse Seal. With this back and forth, the profit margin was over double.

Wouldn’t this allow for a safe and stable profit every day, much better than risking his life in the wilderness for money?

Also, the reason he could not enter the safe zone while creating legends, otherwise Xu Shu would be completely carefree, lying down and making money every day.

"It’s also because Wang Teng has a Three-source Dao Mark, not a Two-source Waymark, or else I would have been utterly defeated this time. Mystical Chapter isn’t seen for sale, seems like it’s a banned item, probably not cheap, not to be shown lightly unless absolutely necessary."
