Chapter 237: Chapter 213: Do You Want to Get Rich?

"So that’s how it is."

The One-eyed Giant sat cross-legged in front of the massive bronze door, letting out a long sigh.

He looked towards the sky—

As his own form had become mountainous, the Book of the Dead was no longer a tiny book.

Now it was about half the size of a basketball court, exuding an aura of cold ice and darkness, quite spectacular to behold.

"How did you get so big too?"

The One-eyed Giant—or, to put it differently, Wu Xiaode, silently wondered in his heart.

A line of ice crystal characters emerged on the Book of the Dead:

"If you can grow, why can’t I? I am your ability, capable of expanding or shrinking!"

The One-eyed Giant shook his head.

He discovered that even the act of shaking his head brought about a gust of wind.

"Not used to it? Want to change back?"

Nina was sitting on his giant hand, tilting her head up, asking with concern.

"Let me adapt a bit more," said the One-eyed Giant.

"I want to try too—"

Nina jumped down from his giant hand and ran off, starting to chant a spell:

"Summon!"

The One-eyed Giant immediately sensed a wave of Mana calling him.

"It still works, I can still be summoned." He yelled from afar.

"That’s great!" Nina exclaimed happily.

The One-eyed Giant’s eyes fell on the Book of the Dead, which now displayed some of his information:

"Mage bound by contract to you: Nina is summoning you."

"She canceled the summoning."

"You are a mighty one from the Giant Clan."

"You currently possess the following Giant-specific powers:"

"Summoning Black Skull Mace, Deep Red Star Fall, Capturing Hand, Deep Red Beam, Curse Death Demon Palm, Devouring Weapons, Myriad Universe..."

"Activating corresponding powers requires a specific Soul Power base."

"Each transformation needs Nina’s power."

Wu Xiaode looked at the densely packed skills, which numbered in the dozens, the least expensive being Devouring Weapons.

Even that move required 300,000 Soul Power.

300,000!

His own Soul Power was only at 21 points!

The One-eyed Giant could devour and destroy any weapon with that move.

Even the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit was afraid of this skill.

Only the Desert Sword, which had the unique ability to make the enemy bear its own damage—

was regurgitated by the One-eyed Giant.

Wu Xiaode looked around, seeing that every skill required at least hundreds of thousands of Soul Power.

How was he to play this game?

He couldn’t possibly play it alright!

He could not help but sigh deeply.

Nina seemed to know what he was thinking and said softly, "Don’t worry, you will gradually awaken the cultivation methods of the Giant Clan, thereby greatly enhancing your strength."

"That is good news, but..." Wu Xiaode said.

"But what?" Nina asked.

"I don’t want to wait any longer." Wu Xiaode said.

Nina widened her beautiful eyes at him, not understanding his meaning.

"The place we’re going next, your brother has already sent many world’s top experts there," Wu Xiaode said.

"Exactly." Nina responded.

"If we don’t have the strength of top experts from various worlds, we can only sneak around, and one small mistake could mean death," Wu Xiaode said.

"Right." Nina agreed.

"So we can’t afford to wait, we must immediately possess the corresponding Soul Power of a giant so we can mess up his plans and save the targets he wants to kill," Wu Xiaode said.

Nina hesitated, "But that would require millions of Soul Power, my abilities have just awakened, I can’t yet..."

Wu Xiaode waved his hand.

"Earning Soul Power, I have experience with that, just leave it to me."

—Despite his current one-eyed state, his look conveyed a confidence that Nina couldn’t comprehend.

Nina truly didn’t understand.

How do you earn Soul Power?

And everyone has a limit to their Soul Power, right?

Even if you have some rare ability that allows you to store more Soul Power, who’d just give their Soul Power to you without reason?

The One-eyed Giant then closed the bronze door and enveloped Nina in a thick mist before striding over to the corner, crouching down, and shouting into the hole:

"Black Dragon! Come here for a moment!"

A few breaths later.

A cold beauty in a black bodycon dress stepped out from the hole, looking at him warily and asked:

"You are... the person who fought with our boss?"

"Correct," said the One-eyed Giant.

"Why have you turned into the appearance of a giant?" asked the cold beauty, curiously.

"This is one of my abilities, now let’s cut to the chase, do you want to earn some money?" the One-eyed Giant asked.

"Earn... money?" the cold beauty was perplexed.

"Listen, I know you have many Dragon Eggs, which means you have many offspring, right?" the One-eyed Giant buzzed.

The cold beauty was stunned.’

It’s over.

Does he, like the boss, have a liking for eating Dragon Eggs?

This guy, when he fought with the boss, every sword strike he made surpassed her own limits.

—He could easily kill her.

Even the boss had acknowledged his power.

Now if he makes an unreasonable request, how could she dare refuse him?

But my children...

Was she just going to let him eat them?

The cold beauty looked downcast and said, "What do you mean, sir?"

"Raising so many offspring alone must be very costly," said the giant in a tone that suggested he knew the market well.

Even in human society, raising a child was not a simple matter.

Let alone for a species like the Dragons.

"Indeed it is," the cold beauty nodded.

"Listen, I’ll put up the money. Right now, I have a business proposition for you, see if you can handle it," said the One-eyed Giant.

"Please, sir, give your instructions."

"I see your Dark Palace is built luxuriously and magnificently, greatly resembling the style of ancient races. I would like you to renovate my Death Demon Cave," the One-eyed Giant said.

"Renovation... Sorry, sir, I don’t quite understand what you mean," said the cold beauty.

"That’s odd, I remember you being quite shrewd. How can you not understand?"

The One-eyed Giant walked over to the wall and started to gesture on it.

By the time he finished explaining, the cold beauty was struck dumb.

This guy...

This guy actually wants to set up a shop in the depths of this prison of sin, in the Demon God’s underground palace?

I wonder what the boss thinks of this.

"Hold on a moment, I need to ask the boss about this," said the cold beauty.

Her figure flashed as she was about to disappear.

"Wait a moment!" the One-eyed Giant shouted.

"Do you have another matter?" the cold beauty asked.

The One-eyed Giant’s gaze flickered as he tossed a heavy pouch over.

The cold beauty caught it and opened it, quite surprised.

"These are coins from the Ancient Era... I thought they had long vanished into history, never to be seen again. I didn’t expect you to have them,"

the cold beauty said.

"This is a little advance payment for your work, remember to say some good words for me. If your boss agrees, I will have more benefits for you," the One-eyed Giant said.

The cold beauty looked up at him.

The One-eyed Giant chuckled softly and slowly said, "Who would do something that brings no benefits? Rest assured, if you work with me, you’re guaranteed a good path. Of course, you can totally choose other paths; I won’t force you."

The cold beauty squeezed the pouch in her hand, nodded, and vanished in a flash.

The One-eyed Giant stood quietly, waiting.

"Hey, are you actually planning to renovate inside the Demon God’s Palace?" Nina’s voice quietly came through.

"For earning Soul Power, how else would we manage in major battles?" the One-eyed Giant quietly responded.

"But... this is just too absurd," Nina sighed.

"Technically, you’ve just awakened, and I only have 21 points of Soul Power; we can’t stop your brother from doing anything—but you want revenge, and I also have reasons that I must get involved in this matter," the One-eyed Giant said.

"What are you going to do?" Nina asked.

"He needs to find other Law Divine Beasts—starting from a target your brother must confront is the simplest path," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit interjected.

"The many powerful beings of various worlds... how can we ever confront them, I can’t figure it out," Nina sighed again.

"Let’s just try," the One-eyed Giant shrugged.

Elsewhere.

In the deepest parts of the Demon God’s Palace.

The cold beauty quietly appeared and respectfully said, "Boss, that guy has come back."

"Oh? What does he want?" the middle-aged man asked attentively.

"He’s remodeling the first floor of the Death Demon Cave, asking me to help with the renovation."

"Renovation?"

"Yes—"

The cold beauty opened her mouth to elaborate, but suddenly remembered the pouch.

If she disclosed his transformation into the One-eyed Giant, the boss would definitely be interested.

Once the boss got interested, things would get complicated.

What benefits would it bring to her?

None.

Only if that guy’s plans went on without issue would she continue to receive ongoing benefits.

—Who doesn’t need money?

"He might want to live here, boss,"

the cold beauty shifted the topic and then shut her mouth.

"Damn... this is the residence of our Demon Gods, and he really wants to renovate it to stay? What is he thinking?"

The middle-aged man felt a headache coming on and asked again:

"What is he planning to turn it into?"

"Seems like a hotel," the cold beauty answered.

The middle-aged man fell into thought.

Principally speaking, he shouldn’t allow this.

But then he thought—

The opponent had killed the One-eyed Giant and proved his strength in a battle with him, and he also held a prophecy about the future.

Such a guy might have a deep meaning in anything he does.

More importantly—

He had already noticed that the entire prison was already starting to change.

The Law Divine Beasts had actually left the prison!

Maybe times were about to change...

Oh well, let’s just see how it goes.

"Boss, do you need me to stop him?" the cold beauty asked.

"...No, you aren’t even worth one slash of his sword," the middle-aged man chuckled.

"Let him be, he’s an important client of mine, I still have matters to discuss with him later," the middle-aged man continued.

"What about others asking about us, the Demon God’s Palace, turning into a hotel? How should we handle that?" the cold beauty asked.

"We don’t have such embarrassing Demon Gods, it must be other parallel worlds doing this."

"Understood."

The cold beauty vanished from the Black Ice Palace in a flash.

After she left.

The middle-aged man’s expression darkened, uncomfortably shifting his seat as if remembering something not so pleasant.

"I hope your prophecy is right..."

he muttered softly.

...

In the Death Demon Cave.

The cold beauty released Mana from both hands, continuously constructing large blocks of stone.

Some were carved into various statues, some made into walls, and some covered with shiny materials to form ceilings.

Only to hear the One-eyed Giant rambling:

"Look, this is the lobby, it needs to be grand and classy."

"The rooms, then, should be divided into Sin Prison single rooms, double rooms, executive suites, Demon God’s Palace VIP rooms, Royal Black Dragon suites."

"You decide the style, but they must be built like your palace,"

the cold beauty worked swiftly.

It only took about fifteen minutes—

a seven-to-eight-floor high castle stood erect in the Death Demon Cave.

"My wages,"

the One-eyed Giant said concisely, tossing another pouch to the cold beauty.

The cold beauty opened it and could no longer shift her gaze away.

"Not enough?" the One-eyed Giant asked.

The cold beauty took a breath and softly said, "...It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a substantial income."

The One-eyed Giant leaned forward, eyeing her, "Do you really need money?"

The cold beauty did not avoid his gaze, straightforwardly saying, "I have many children to support."

The One-eyed Giant’s eyes twirled, suddenly making a decision.

—Having a beautiful woman overseeing matters is completely different.

This was evident from Christina.

People might not trust a one-eyed giant, given how brutal and barbaric giants can be.

But the Dragon Clan is an extremely ancient race.

And a beautiful woman.

And powerful.

People would like this place.

With this thought, the One-eyed Giant bent down and whispered in the cold beauty’s ear:

"Do you want to get rich?"

"Of course."

"Come oversee the affairs of this hotel, I’ll share the profits."

"...Are you sure?"

The One-eyed Giant nodded emphatically.
