An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 34 Challenge Mission Completed
Chu Xiu darted swiftly between the residential buildings, his powerful physique allowing him to search for prey at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary awakened beings.

He couldn't have been happier after acquiring the two ghosts.

Once prey is spotted, a mere flick of the finger will summon two ghostly figures that will swiftly emerge and tear the target to shreds.

Even if you accidentally provoke a horde of zombies, it's okay. Just de-physicalize and hide again.

This made him much bolder in his actions, and his efficiency improved accordingly.

Chu Xiu was very pleased with this risk-free fighting style, where he could command from the shadows without having to lift a finger.

Unfortunately, encountering that elite corpse hound seemed to have exhausted all his luck, and he didn't encounter any more elite monsters for the rest of the afternoon.

Only those ordinary ghouls, as cunning as rats, often reward Chu Xiu with only +6 professional experience after a long hour of hard work.
"8 causal points and 44 professional experience points, that's all I've gained."

"Tsk, as expected, good character is conserved."

Chu Xiu shook his head.

However, it is worth mentioning that after the great harvest during the day, Chu Xiu finally completed the task of killing one hundred corpse demons.

[Challenge Completed! Reward: 150 Karma Points!]

Including his previous gains, his total causal points have reached 267!
Chu Xiu glanced at the sun outside the window, which was about to set completely.

"That's it for today."

He was exhausted and needed a good rest; the real upgrade was tonight.

Moreover, he also needs to carefully consider how to spend all the karmic points he has gained from this sudden wealth.

Back in the apartment building, Chu Xiu headed towards the stronghold upstairs and returned safely before it got completely dark. On the way, he also discovered and killed a black-haired ghoul.

This put Chu Xiu in a good mood.

Humming a little tune, he happily walked up to the thirty-second floor. Just as he came out of the stairwell, he heard a burst of cheerful laughter.

Chu Xiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Shen Zhuo and the others had all returned and were now gathered around a table, chatting and laughing.

Upon closer inspection, Chu Xiu discovered that the table was set with a mahjong set!
At the table, Yunlu's face was tense, while Shen Zhuo and Wu Xinyi were calm and composed. There was also Li Shan, whose small eyes were scanning back and forth, seemingly hesitating between two cards.

"Hurry up!" Shen Zhuo urged with a smile.

Li Shan gritted his teeth and slammed one of the cards onto the table.

"Six loaves!"

"Ha!" Wu Xinyi excitedly pushed aside her cards, "I won!"

"Damn it, I should have just made four pieces of jerky!" Li Shan said with a look of frustration, reluctantly tossing out a few pieces of jerky.

This jerky appears to be made from venison; it seems the people in the camp have figured out a way to extract edible salt from the expired salt.

It must be said that although these support classes cannot fight, they can indeed improve the quality of life.

Wu Xinyi happily accepted the gift, and the onlookers burst into laughter. Yun Lu breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was glad that she hadn't been tricked. The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

At this moment, Li Shan's eyes suddenly lit up as he spotted Chu Xiu passing by.

The others followed his gaze, and the atmosphere immediately turned cold.

Fortunately, Chu Xiu never stopped walking; he only glanced at the door as he passed by, and his figure quickly disappeared through the doorway.

"Ah," Yunlu opened her mouth as if to say hello, but before she could speak, Chu Xiu had already gone far away.

Wu Xinyi said unhappily, "What are you pretending for? If you ask me, he must be regretting it to death right now, but he's too proud to admit it. How easy is it for a person to survive in this post-apocalyptic world?"

Everyone else chimed in, especially the two support classes.

However, everyone spoke softly, clearly not wanting Chu Xiu to hear.

This made Guan Ke shake his head with amusement. "Alright, everyone has their own choices," Shen Zhuo interrupted the denunciation of Chu Xiu, stood up, and said, "I'm going to talk to him about upgrading his equipment."

After hearing his words, the combat team members filed out. Although they didn't like Chu Xiu's maverick ways, they still needed his help to upgrade their equipment.

"Dong dong dong."

One minute later, Shen Zhuo knocked on the door of Chu Xiu's room.

Chu Xiu opened the door, glanced around, and immediately understood why everyone had come: "You want to upgrade your equipment?"

"Not bad." Shen Zhuo nodded. "The price is still the same, right?"

"Ah."

"follow me."

Shen Zhuo led Chu Xiu to the room where they stored the corpses. To Chu Xiu's surprise, there were no fewer than twenty corpses of ghouls displayed there!

"You've had a good day," Chu Xiu said.

"Envious, aren't you?" Wu Xinyi said smugly. "Let me tell you, what's displayed here is only half of what we got today. We couldn't be bothered to move the corpses that were too badly mutilated."

Chu Xiu glanced at Shen Zhuo and casually asked, "Did you go challenge the zombie horde?"

After she finished speaking, Wu Xinyi paused for a moment, then said, "You're quite clever. Not bad. Today we found a small horde of zombies in the mall, and with everyone's cooperation, we wiped them all out, and even killed an elite one!"

"This is the power of teamwork. Haven't the teachers emphasized this many times in school?"

Chu Xiu smiled, neither confirming nor denying. He had never denied the role of the team. Now it was the fourth day since they arrived in the abyss, and everyone's level had increased. With Shen Zhuo, a rich second-generation, leading the way, killing elites was not an impossible task.

After absorbing this large amount of experience, the combat team should all have reached level 3 or higher, and Shen Zhuo, the leader, has most likely reached level 4.

With their strength improving by leaps and bounds, it's no wonder everyone is in such high spirits today.

"Congratulations," Chu Xiu said sincerely.

Improving the strength of a stronghold can, to some extent, also increase his own safety.

He was always ready to lure any enemy he couldn't defeat into the stronghold and have the other cannon fodder distract them.

"Chu Xiu, why don't you join us? It's dangerous for you to be out there alone, and you can only hunt lone ghouls, which is very inefficient," Yunlu advised.

Chu Xiu could tell that this girl genuinely cared about him. Although he didn't understand why, he replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have my own plans."

Then he turned to Shen Zhuo and tapped the table: "The elite corpse will cost extra."

Shen Zhuo rolled his eyes: "With such a beautiful girl caring about you, what are you thinking about?"

Yunlu's face immediately turned red, but Chu Xiu simply said indifferently, "If you keep saying these useless things, I'll have to pay more."

Shen Zhuo immediately changed his tune: "15 causal points."

"30, not a penny less."

"."

Shen Zhuo glanced at Chu Xiu with annoyance, thinking to himself, "Does this guy have mind-reading abilities? How come he can always accurately calculate my desired price?"

Undeterred, he said, "Considering how much Yunlu cares about you, could you give me a discount? I'll give you some more venison."

"No." Chu Xiu refused without even thinking.

The group was furious at his domineering attitude, but there was nothing they could do.

Who gave Chu Xiu the monopoly?

Finally, Shen Zhuo sighed helplessly, "Alright, deal."
