Chapter 327 [Eternal Tribulation Contract]
Chapter 327 [Eternal Tribulation Contract]
A few days passed, and Russell did not wait for He Yi's notification, but waited for his teacher instead.
Looking at Bai Yueming who looked a little exhausted, Russell poured him a cup of tea with some doubt: "Teacher, is everything over?"
Hearing this, Bai Yueming shook his head slightly: "It's just a temporary end, but now Xiaoye is watching over there, so I'm not needed anymore."
"But the general solution has been worked out. Coastal cities should add some jobs, while inland cities will..."
"We need to think about it a little more."
Russell was not surprised by this. After all, the coastal areas were the association's base, so the collapse of the court would not affect the situation in these places. But it was different in the inland areas. In order to minimize possible chaos, caution was indeed needed.
Bai Yueming also knew that his disciples were not interested in such things, so he did not go too deep into this topic. Instead, he took out an electronic device and said, "Speaking of which, the property of those people in the court has been counted. Xiao Luo, you can see if there is anything you need."
This is also why the old man took so long to return to Shanghai.
Russell was stunned and took the instrument subconsciously.
With just a quick glance, he saw several categories on the screen, including real estate, materials, etc.
However, the young man did not rush to check, but asked hesitantly: "This..."
"Would that be a bit of a violation of the rules?"
If you ask yourself, Russell would definitely want the free material.
The reason why he asked this was naturally because he was afraid that doing so might affect his teacher.
After all, Bai Yueming is already quite old, and the young man doesn't want his teacher to end up with a ruined reputation in his later years.
However, after hearing his words, Bai Yueming burst out laughing: "This time, it's all thanks to you, Xiao Luo."
"Otherwise we don't know how long we will be kept in the dark."
"If anyone is unhappy about this, let them come to me."
"This is also what Xiaoye meant."
Hearing this, Russell felt relieved.
Since his teacher said so, there is no need for him to be pretentious.
But what the young man needs is only materials, property like real estate
It is completely useless to Russell, who is already a diamond-level card maker, not to mention that he also has the ability of [Fake Karakura Town]. No matter how big the land of those people in the court is, can it be as big as a city?
Then he took a quick look.
Some brothers, yes.
Russell couldn't hold back for a moment when he looked at the information in the real estate classification.
"Why, Xiao Luo, are you going to choose a place to live?" Seeing his expression, Bai Yueming said with a smile, "We don't plan to keep these places. We can renovate them later so that civilians can live in them."
Hearing this, Russell shook his head repeatedly: "No, I'm just taking a look."
As he spoke, he switched to the material page, and the young man's breathing became choked.
It can only be said that these guys did not die unjustly. Russell even saw a large amount of duplicate materials. It was obvious that the output of many secret realms was pocketed by that group of parasites.
He slowly swiped the screen to find the material he needed.
"This is."
Suddenly, Russell stopped his movements and his pupils contracted.
He saw masterful material.
Master Level [World Anchor] (Red).
“There are even master-level materials.”
The young man couldn't help but mutter to himself in his heart.
Seeing him so surprised, Bai Yueming glanced at him and then explained with sudden enlightenment: "The court has produced many masters over the years, so there will naturally be unused master-level materials."
"You'll see more if you turn back."
After hearing the teacher's words, Russell gradually calmed down and continued to read.
After a long time, he returned the tablet to Bai Yueming: "Teacher, I have selected all the materials I need."
It’s a pity that the young man did not find any suitable diamond-level field materials among them, otherwise he would have been able to directly assemble the Spirit King this time.
But Russell could also understand it. After all, diamond-grade materials were undoubtedly much rarer than emerald and gold.
Not to mention the scarce variety of venue materials.
The last time Jinping provided him with venue materials, it was exactly what he needed, which was an extremely rare situation.
Bai Yueming looked at the materials Russell had selected and asked in surprise, "Is that all we need?"
"Ah."
Russell nodded, he didn't choose too much.
It’s already very good to be able to obtain so much material that he can use this time.
[Blood Contract] (red), [Chain of Life] (red), [Seal of Immunity] (red), [Jaw of the Abyss (Sword)] (red), [Remains of the God] (red), [Blade of Annihilation] (red), [Man-Faced Demon Spider] (red).
These are the materials Russell chose.
Seeing this, Bai Yueming shook his head helplessly: "You."
"If you need any materials in the future, Xiao Luo, just tell me. Xiao Ye and the others won't have any objections."
"We in Ming Dynasty can still afford a diamond-level card maker."
What the old man didn't say was that after he and Ye Zhou and others discussed it, they had decided to allocate more resources towards Russell.
Not just the Diamond level, but the Master level as well.
After all, anyone who is not a fool can obviously see that the world consciousness loves Russell very much, and the young man has indeed successfully realized his talent.
Although Bai Yueming and the others didn't know the specific reasons, they still chose to believe it.
Of course, part of the reason for this is that the character that the young man has always displayed is very much to their liking.
Russell was stunned. He didn't expect such a good thing to fall from the sky: ".Ah?"
Before he could react, Bai Yueming said, "It's settled."
Then the old man changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Xiao Luo, have you discovered anything recently?"
Talking about this topic, Russell suddenly became serious: "Yes, all the top leaders of the Qiling Society except Jin Ping have already arrived in Shanghai."
"Teacher, I think that old guy seems a little anxious."
Hearing him say this, the old man frowned immediately.
Bai Yueming obviously had some ideas about what Russell said.
After a long while, he sighed heavily: "It should be because the problem in Antarctica makes him feel that he doesn't have much time left."
Russell fell silent.
Since he had never been to Antarctica, he had no idea what the situation was like there, but since it could make Jinping give up his usual cautious approach, he was obviously not very optimistic.
After thinking for a moment, the young man asked hesitantly, "Teacher, is Ye Diantang in good condition now able to kill Jinping?"
Bai Yueming shook his head and rejected his proposal: "Xiao Ye's body"
"It shouldn't last long."
Russell couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Since his teacher said so, Ye Zhou’s condition was obviously not suitable for taking action, and he might even die on the spot if he took action again.
But just when he was thinking this, the old man changed the subject: "But if Xiao Ye really feels that his time is almost up, he should forcefully take action to eliminate some threats."
The old Monkey King, whose time is running out, arrives with the supreme imperial army.
This sentence suddenly appeared in Russell's mind.
".I understand, teacher."
"By the way, teacher, do you need me to inform the Qiling Society about your visit?"
Just as Bai Yueming was about to leave, the young man suddenly spoke.
The old man immediately stopped his actions.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Tell me, Xiao Luo, otherwise I'm afraid your identity won't be hidden from Jinping anymore."
The reason why Bai Yueming said this was because it would be undoubtedly suspicious if Russell, as his disciple, didn't even know that he had arrived in Shanghai.
Moreover, as one of the only three master card makers in the Ming Dynasty, his whereabouts were difficult to hide.
"it is good."
Seeing that the serious business was over, Bai Yueming stood up immediately and said, "Then I will go find Lao Yan and the others."
"Xiao Luo, take some time these two days to go to Nandu to get the materials you need." Hearing this, Russell nodded: "Goodbye, teacher."
"Ah."
Bai Yueming smiled slightly, and then disappeared from the young man's sight.
Looking at the living room that had become quiet again, Russell couldn't help scratching his head.
Although everything that happened today was somewhat beyond his expectations, it would be a good thing to be able to get free materials in the future.
Shaking his head, the young man took out the [sub-phone].
【Six: Bai Yueming has arrived in Shanghai.】
As he sent this message, the group chat was briefly silent and then exploded, with several messages rapidly appearing on the screen.
[One: Arrived today? I see. Thanks, Xiaoliu.]
【two:.】
【Three:1】
[Four: Tsk, that old man came so quickly, didn't you call him over? ]
[One: Fourth Brother! What are you talking about!]
Faced with Long Si's malicious slander, Russell chose to ignore it. Anyway, he had fulfilled his obligation to notify, and if someone was caught by his teacher later, it would be none of his business.
After waiting for a few days, Russell still hadn't received any news from He Yi and the others. He thought it was because Bai Yueming's arrival made them a little cautious for a while.
But these had no way of affecting him. The young man even returned to Nandu to visit Hu Tao and get the materials he needed.
At this moment, he looked at the materials placed in front of him and took a deep breath.
The first thing Russell planned to upgrade was the Holy Blade Armor. After all, the most important thing after advancing to a new realm was to quickly improve the ability to save one's life.
This is also the pain point of professions like card maker, which is similar to summoner.
Due to the characteristics of [Flame Sword Fiery Holy Sword Blade Driver], the young man directly threw the three sword materials of different attributes he currently had into it.
With a flash of dazzling light, the Holy Blade Armor was instantly upgraded from emerald level to diamond level.
"That's convenient," Russell murmured softly as he looked at the cards in his hand.
The Diamond-level Saber Armor has not changed much in capabilities compared to its Emerald-level period, save for the addition of a Fantasy Driving Book.
[Dragon Knight Fantasy Riding Book].
Seeing this, Russell couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Dragon pattern?"
However, if his pirated copy of Arthur's flying dragon is at the top of the emerald level, then it makes sense that Dragon Mark is a diamond-level fantasy driving book.
"What will the Master Level give?"
"Ancient dragon?"
Russell thought about it for a moment and then suppressed his curiosity.
He has a heavy task today, and what he needs to do is not just to upgrade the Holy Blade Belt to diamond level.
The young man let out a sigh of relief and immediately took out three materials: [Blood Payoff Contract] (red), [Life Lock] (red), and [Seal of Immunity] (red).
Russell already had a general idea of how to transfer the damage he had suffered to Spider-Girl.
"bring it on."
【Please start compiling your story. 】
【Due to the coming of the ancient gods, mankind has lost its future. 】
[In 2087, a teenager huddled in front of a coffee shop. ]
[Just then, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a well-dressed man appeared in front of him. ]
[“Are you hungry? Come with me.”]
[It was as if the sound of heavenly music appeared in the boy's ears. He only hesitated for a moment before following the man.]
【After all, he has nothing to lose. 】
[After a while, the man brought a meal, but before the boy ate, he asked him to sign a contract.]
[The boy couldn't understand the words on the contract, but he just hesitated for a moment before signing his name.]
[The contract took effect, and the boy could sense that he was connected to the man in front of him.]
[After a short meal, the boy wanted to leave, but was stopped by the man.]
[The man grabbed the boy by the collar and dragged him to a secret underground place.]
[Here, the boy saw countless children like him. ]
[Before he could react, he was locked in an iron cage.]
[The man then left the basement.]
[In the days that followed, the boy could see that the children in the other iron cages beside him all died in extremely miserable ways.]
[Some children even lost their sanity and became crazy. ]
[The boy was extremely scared, but he still couldn't disobey the contract. In the end, he curled up in the cold basement and lost his life.]
[It was at this time that he finally understood the nature of the contract, which was a contract to voluntarily bear all the harm suffered by the man.]
The card-making process was as easy as ever, and Russell didn't spend much effort to make the cards he needed.
Of course, one of the reasons is that the material level is too high.
After all, in his imagination, the cards made this time should not reach diamond level.
----
【Eternal Tribulation Agreement】
Level: Diamond
Quality: gold
Category: props
characteristic:
[Unipolar Channel]: When the card holder receives damage, including but not limited to physical damage and curse damage, the damage will be transferred to the contractor synchronously, and the card holder will not be injured.
[Absolute Immunity]: The negative effects caused by the holder's damage will also be transferred to the contractor.
Note: This contract requires 100% subjective consent from the signatory when it is signed.
----
That’s right, this time Russell did not choose props from a previous work, but instead tried to make his own cards.
It’s a pity that the quality of the gold material cannot match his investment. You know, Russell used three pieces of red-quality diamond-grade materials.
"So the reason why the cards were so high quality before was because they had a provenance?"
He tilted his head in confusion.
After thinking for a while, Russell still had no clue.
Fortunately, the purpose of making the card this time has been achieved.
"Now, as long as my mental strength is not exhausted, I am basically invincible."
Thinking of this, Russell felt his own powerful mental power.
Coincidentally, what he lacks the least is mental strength.
"With the belt and the Eternal Tribulation Contract, I don't have to worry about my safety anymore."
The young man couldn't help but grin.
He is now confident that even if he faces a master card maker, he will not be killed instantly.
Of course, this is far from being invincible. After all, if the mental power is exhausted and the [Eternal Bond] cannot be maintained, then leaving only a small spider on the scene will be useless.
Putting away [Eternal Tribulation], Russell took out two more materials: "Now there is still one card left to be made."
He was going to promote Spider-Man to diamond level. The main reason was that if there were any missions in the future that required the young man to act under the identity of the Spirit Begging Society, he wouldn't have to continue using Ichigo Kurosaki to support the situation.
That would be too easy to expose.
Although Spider-Man's [Goddess System] feature has not yet achieved maximum benefits, Russell can no longer care about that.
"I hope everything goes smoothly."
