Chapter 510: Chapter 357: Oasis Upgrade_2

After recording Ability, Youlius received his first task.

Making potions.

He was to concoct all the poisons and antidotes he knew. At the moment, he was climbing the spiral staircase of the dungeon under the surveillance of the Red-haired Empress.

According to the two feeble clerks ahead, he was being taken to the warehouse to collect supplies, and he would also be assigned a laboratory for work.

Once he exited the dungeon, sunlight spilled onto the earth.

This place was situated within the garrison, the most strictly guarded location in Oasis, bustling with experts and even four mythical beings standing guard. Every now and then, overwhelming divine senses would sweep the area.

A bitter expression crossed Youlius’s face.

Luckily for him, the Blazefire Commerce Guild did leave him some dignity, allowing him to wear a long, loose black robe that covered the Sealing Stones shackled to his neck and limbs.

Upon reflecting on this, Youlius decided to focus on his work honestly for a while, as for now, he couldn’t find the slightest possibility of escape, but he believed that opportunities could be waited for.

Here, with four mythical beings in power, but the small Oasis couldn’t sustain so many myths. Even with the formidable strength of the Blazefire Commerce Guild, they would eventually have to disperse these beings elsewhere, seizing more benefits.

Moreover, over time, the vigilance of the guarding myths would surely wane, and that would be the moment for him, Youlius, to rid himself of the shackles and dive into the vast ocean.

For now, he’d endure it!

He didn’t speak, standing still like a statue, waiting for the two clerks in front to collect the instruments needed for potion-making.

Yet, the commotion near another building caught the attention of Youlius, and his gaze shifted upward, catching sight of a sign that read ’Task Handover & Item Exchange’.

"A three-star task, rated excellent, rewards contribution points... Oh, you want to exchange your contribution points for the Dragon-Snake Potion? Please wait a moment."

"A four-star task, rated excellent, you all will receive contribution points... Also, Captain Roland, this is the Gigantification Ability Fruit you reserved a few days ago."

"Recruiting teammates for a six-star elimination task? Alrighty, I’ll pin it to the top for you."

The other building was over a hundred meters away, but to a mythical being, such a distance was virtually next door.

Breezes carried the voices into the ears of Youlius.

He was astonished.

He didn’t know how much the contribution points were worth, but he was well aware of the value of the epic Dragon-Snake Potion, as well as the Gigantification Ability Fruit, which had fetched a sky-high price at the auction.

It must be fake! After all, those receiving the potion and fruit were only third and fifth Awakeners, mere ants in the hierarchy of Awakening. How could they possess such treasures?

Especially that Gigantification Ability Fruit, he, Youlius, a myth, couldn’t afford it; only one was auctioned, and how could a mere fifth Awakener possibly own it!

He couldn’t believe it and suspected it was all a play put on by the Flamefire Commerce Guild.

Youlius snorted at these matters.

But since he was idle anyway, he cast a glance over, taking in the scene before him. He saw the third Awakener shaking the potion, then gulping it down on the spot at the exchange window.

The fifth Awakener did the same, opening the jewel box containing the fruit as if he didn’t even bother to look, grabbed it, and gobbled it up.

As the fruit, covered with mystical patterns, was bitten and swallowed, the heart of Youlius missed a beat.

"The Ability fruit... is real!"

He could only be 80% sure about the Dragon-Snake Potion, but for the Ability fruit, Youlius was completely certain. He had covertly glimpsed at such fruits many times, and during the auction, he had remotely cast his gaze upon the Gigantification Ability Fruit being sold.

This one was exactly the same!

Yet it was devoured by a mere fifth Awakener, a sheer waste!

Could this fifth Awakener be a direct descendant of one of the myths, perhaps the Red-haired Empress or the golden-haired woman? Indeed, those with powerful backing lead an easy life.

Youlius felt both envy and longing.

But what followed made him curse inwardly while feeling more jealous and envious.

Within moments, three Blazefire Awakeners collected Ability fruits, and the other two were just minor third Awakeners. He tried to convince himself that these two were merely servants running errands for nobles, but the first thing they did after retrieving the fruits was to stuff them into their mouths and swallow them.

Was that even reasonable?

What on earth had this world come to?

Youlius screamed internally, watching the Blazefire Commerce Guild staff come and go, as well as the Strange Implements emitting faint glows on their bodies. He felt as if something inside him had broken, while something else was gradually rising.

...

...

The trouble with Youlius, the myth, lay not in how much value he could create, but in the surveillance over him.

Even though he was greatly weakened and shackled with the Sealing Stones, theoretically, there needed to be a demi-myth watching over him to ensure security.

Yet the only ones with such power in Blazing Fire Mall were Citina, Yiluo Xi, and Xing Jing Lei, all of whom needed to cultivate. It was simply a waste to spend their precious time watching over a myth.

And neither Yiluo Xi nor Xing Jing Lei were reliable in the slightest.

The real reliance, for keeping an eye on Youlius, was actually on Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan’s daily tasks were many, and she occasionally needed to handle cultivation missions. However, due to the special nature of the Illusionary Spirit, multitasking was as simple for her as eating and drinking. She could lock on to Youlius tightly while working.

This was a constant watch that would not tire, become distracted, or blink.
