Chapter 146 One Punch Sends Chu Xuan's Treasure Vault Away [Fifth Update, Making Up for Last Night's Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"God Hand Crash!"

The giant warrior moved slowly, and storms and lightning gathered on his fists, like an eternal light, dominating the universe.

It makes one wonder if a divine punch could sink this entire wilderness!

As an alchemist, how could he possibly be completely unprepared after spending so much time in the City of the Dead?

You know, what withstood Imhotep's terrifying magic... wasn't it the energy shield that Chu Xuan created?

"Buzz!"

Three layers of hexagonal prism-like protective shields quietly emerged.

Chu Xuan quietly consumed the forty-three energy crystals he had stored. Anyway, he could produce them even faster once he returned to the Main God Space.

In terms of cost, the energy crystal alone will cost a full 4,300 points. Add to that the energy shield system made from the Philosopher's Stone and the spare materials on hand, and the cost of withstanding this attack will be 5,000 reward points!

Is it worth it?

Of course it's worth it. Because it's not Chu Xuan's money that's being spent...

Of course, it's not for such a nonsensical reason!

Because Chu Xuan suspected that the other party was a "snap popper"... which meant that he could test the strength of the reincarnators to a greater extent.

The main god will then use the survivor's vital signs after receiving this powerful attack to give a more specific description of the survivor's combat strength rating.

And yet, this is a meager C-level side quest.

Further forcing the evil spirits to evolve and demonstrate Zheng Zha's physical strength, or having Orochi block with its own body again to show even greater power... are all not worth it.

Chu Xuan decided to use disposable protective shields to solve the problem.

If the shielding system eventually collapses and breaks down, wouldn't that settle the mess?

This refers to rating!
"boom!"

The shockwave from the punch collided with the protective shield!
The sky itself seemed to creak and groan, as if the space itself was about to collapse!

"Snapped!"

With a sound like shattering glass, the first layer of protection collapsed almost instantly!
Then came the second layer. The two energies were locked in a stalemate for about five seconds before the cracks on the second layer of the shield began to spread rapidly... and then it shattered into faint specks of light!

Immediately afterwards, the third layer of shield clashed head-on with the shockwave of the Divine Fist!
"Can they withstand it?" The group of people standing next to Chu Xuan were all somewhat apprehensive.

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, showing no sign of worry.

He actually has a fourth, or even a fifth, backup plan, but it doesn't need to be revealed yet.

This attack did not involve any subtlety... after all, the Supreme God would not issue missions that are certain to result in death or certain to fail.

Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha kept a close eye on the movements of the giant soldier phantom.

Without Orendor as its vessel, the Colossus phantom was at its limit in terms of the amount of attack it could deliver.

With all its power channeled into this attack, it was completely exhausted, with no ability to defend itself whatsoever!

The remaining head of the Yamata no Orochi shot out, just reaching the spherical object on the forehead of the Titan, and then swallowed it whole!
"hiss~"

The Yamata no Orochi seemed to have an upset stomach, and it kept howling in pain.

It struggled incessantly, its massive body churning in the desert, constantly kicking up clouds of dust.

With its energy core consumed, the Colossus's phantom could no longer be maintained, and its massive body vanished abruptly, as if it had never existed.

Destroy the Colossus Phantom and receive 1 B-rank side quest and 7000 reward points.

Zhan Lan quickly received the notification of the main god's kill, everything went smoothly... unbelievable!

With a sharp crack like shattering glass, Chu Xuan manually destroyed the third layer of the protective shield, which had less than 10% durability remaining.

And with that, the matter came to an end...

"The Central Continent team won the main battle without any casualties. The team is severely underfunded."

Chu Xuan dialed Fang Ge's communicator and conveyed this message.

—How much money is considered money anyway?!
Fang Ge became increasingly suspicious that Chu Xuan was embezzling funds... but the problem was, even if that were the case, where would he get the evidence? And even if he did get the evidence, could it really refute Chu Xuan?

No.

This is the first open conspiracy in Central China.

"Fortunately, this team battle is over, so we shouldn't lack reward points anymore... right?"

The Zhongzhou team even managed to save Third Master, which is a proper 15-man lineup that cleared the level without taking any damage and earned 10 points!
The reward points alone will bring in 300,000!

However, considering the potential expenses later on, 300,000 yuan seems like a lot. In reality, it's still not enough.

As for the Scorpion King side quest, it's very similar to the daily quest chain in some old online games.

Guided by the image on the bracelet, Fang Ge visited the Temple of Osiris, the Temple of Ra, and the nameless obelisk.

At each location, a third-tier guardian awaited him, but he swept them all away with a wave of his hand.

In the meantime, he also met with the main group and distributed the [East China Sea Team Points] they had.

These pigs have all had their genetic potential unlocked under the influence of the drugs, and each one is a considerable source of income for the B-level side quest.

Fang Ge alone, Chu Xuan with two others, and Cheng Xiao alone. They're trying to gather as many A-level side quests as possible.

In any case, as a newcomer, Cheng Xiao needs to use a large portion of his side quests and reward points as part of the "public account." Only when the reward points are in Chu Xuan's hands can he have more time for research.

There was no objection to this distribution model.

On the seventh day, Fang Ge brought Zhao Yingkong to the Amshe Oasis and determined the direction of the pyramids from above.

This place has the very famous [Gundam Monkey], but farming it is not cost-effective.

A good way to use it is to come back to the monkey bank when you're short on change, and only take a little bit each time.

In short, Fang Ge decided to get down to business first.

Ahead stood a massive, magnificent pyramid that looked as if it were made of gold.

At the very top of this pyramid is a huge, crystal-clear diamond.

That's the giant diamond that Jonathan snatched away at the last moment in the story. In the Z setting, it has a similar function to Aja's Red Stone, and when combined with the golden mask modeled after the Stone Mask, it can temporarily evolve a person into a Saint-level fighter.

This thing is also an important component of the Reincarnation Army... If it is combined with the [Horn Formation], its uses are even more ingenious.

The final mission was triggered as soon as Fang Ge and his two companions stepped into the pyramid.

[The Scorpion King is resurrected. Challengers are stripped of their enhanced attributes and skills. Killing the Scorpion King triggers the Death Army, which slaughters all living beings within a 50-kilometer radius of the pyramid until the Scorpion King is defeated.]

"On the other hand... what can you take away from us?"

As everyone knows, Fang Ge's skills are all self-taught, and he even created his own inner world.

Jinxi had no exchange items on her.

Zhao Yingkong's only asset was the Uchiha bloodline, which she had obtained through exchange. The only consequence of having it stripped away was an increased chakra consumption for her Sharingan.

and so……

The Scorpion King can only face... humiliation.
