Chapter 691 - 322: S+ Demon Blade

Chapter 691: Chapter 322: S+ Demon Blade

Gao Xin waited for a long time, and the first to return was Dongfang Yi’s squad.

Seeing that all five were present, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the five were all in a daze, seemingly still shaken with fear.

Although their injuries had been repaired, they were drenched in blood, their eyes bloodshot, clearly not having recovered from the terrifying experience.

Dongfang Yi looked up and saw Gao Xin seated like a statue, exuding an imposing presence, and squeezed out a joyous smile.

"Boss Gao, you’re back..."

Before he could finish, Gao Xin said sternly: "Playing three redemption games in a day? Are you trying to get yourself killed? It’s a miracle you managed to bring everyone back."

Dongfang Yi was initially flustered, but then his eyes focused, and he said firmly: "Boss Gao, I know it’s dangerous, but at least the risk comes with absolute rewards."

"Some things must be done. Seeking wealth in the midst of danger, should we always hide under your shelter?"

"We have so many people, lacking money everywhere, we’re this poor, what is there to fear?"

"We must fight when it’s time, otherwise when can we leave this island?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Xin’s expression shifted; he sensed a change in Dongfang Yi’s demeanor.

Previously, there was always a sense of resignation, a feeling of being a lost cause.

Now, although he still seemed fearless, it was different; there was a determined struggle towards a clear goal.

Gao Xin nodded inwardly and said: "It seems you’ve grown quite a bit... Hmm, have you stepped into the Tiger Level?"

Dongfang Yi nodded: "Jiang Yuan and I have both reached the Tiger Level, but unfortunately, the opponents were all Wolf Kings, and even joining forces we only managed to kill one."

Liu Xu chimed in: "Brother Yi is really amazing now; when he fights it’s like he’s gone mad, savage and fierce, and he killed a Quasi-Wolf King."

"Oh?" Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, somewhat pleased.

He was afraid Dongfang Yi would come back and say something like ’I didn’t even expect this.’

But now Dongfang Yi faced his scolding, argued with reason, his eyes were bright, his heart was set.

Without a doubt, this was also greatly beneficial to his breakthrough, having an obsessive determination for success, and with his high potential, breaking through was a natural outcome.

Dongfang Yi now resembled the Silver Hand of the past.

One could only say that the redemption game truly tempered people, though it was uncertain whether Dongfang Yi’s heart was as twisted as the Silver Hand’s.

Dongfang Yi said: "Boss Gao, not only did I bring everyone back, I also earned 5000 redemption vouchers this time, thankfully without failing my mission."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow: "Oh, what about special items?"

Dongfang Yi’s face froze: "How do you know?"

Gao Xin rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, I’ve been down the paths you’ve walked."

"After winning two jackpot rounds, the next is a special item battle, and its difficulty will be very high, possibly involving Wolf Kings or people breaking through to Tiger Level."

"What if you break through to Tiger Level? The opponents might all be Wolf Kings, even if you’re a Sub-tiger, surviving wouldn’t be certain."

Su Lei also chimed in: "Bro is a Golden Player, he can see your game information."

Dongfang Yi grinned and immediately recounted the game process.

He sighed at the end: "We sensed something was off with the game difficulty right from the start, and the opponents were strong, our team was at the bottom, so we didn’t dare go for the jackpot."

"Even so, we barely made it out unscathed, becoming the softest target, attacked by everyone."

"Fortunately, there was a Demon Blade in that game, and those two teams didn’t recognize it, so I used that to incite their fight over the Demon Blade, which is how we survived."

"As for the Demon Blade, we weren’t qualified to seize it, and it ended up with the five from Lin Village."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, this time the game’s special item was also a Demon Blade?

"Are you sure it’s a Demon Blade?"

"Absolutely!" How could Dongfang Yi mistake it, it was once Gao Xin’s trademark.

Gao Xin pondered, the Demon Blade was one of the most unique special item rewards.

Most of the time, it was other special items, like a spear that auto-targets and retrieves, or an armor with adaptive combat AI.

A Demon Blade was usually rare because it comes with a module and is limited edition.

Only when the Navy sourced Demon Blade fragments from Cangyue, could the Silver Tower stock a new batch.

Gao Xin had learned from Solomon that the newly promoted Demon Blade was mostly available in the mall, with one or two left as game items.

So after Gao Xin got the Demon Blade last time, the Silver Tower had no more Demon Blades.

Now that it has appeared again, does it mean the organizers restocked?

"Swoosh!"

Gao Xin immediately opened the mall and quickly listed the Demon Blade for exchange.

Sure enough, the Demon Blade was in stock!

Moreover, the C+, B+, A+ Demon Blades were rapidly disappearing, turning gray, indicating they were sold out!

Gao Xin’s pupils contracted as he glanced at the most expensive one.

[Demon Sword Cangyue · Limited Edition Replica · S+ Level], 12 million Redemption Vouchers, Quantity left: 1.

"The most expensive one is still there!"

Gao Xin’s mind went blank, and he had already clicked on it like lightning.

Bought it!

Only to see Solomon smile: "You really bought it."

Gao Xin was overjoyed; he had previously been thinking about whether to ask Brother Kai for his A+ Demon Blade.

Though Brother Kai was also skilled with the Demon Blade and needed it once he regained True Dragon Level combat strength.

But Gao Xin also really wanted the Demon Blade; if he had it during the last game, he wouldn’t have needed devious schemes to kill the Big White Shark, perhaps he could have chopped it down head-on.

Now Gao Xin’s combat strength was at T2 Quasi-Elephant King level, and he had to exhaust everything to win one-on-one against people like Fujihara Tomohiro, Sivina, and Lester.

It’s because he found it extremely difficult to deal with the powerful biological force fields of Quasi-Elephant Kings or Hidden Dragons.

At most, he had True Image Level biological energy, and he could only launch substitute attacks, lacking a biological force field.

His Quasi-Elephant King level performance was all due to his overpowering awareness.

He won against the Sub-dragon Robot in the same way; a major factor was that the robot lacked a biological force field.

For other force fields, he had ways to counteract them, even Quantum Ghosts could be penetrated.

He joined forces with Yak to ultimately defeat the Sub-dragon.

But if he had the Demon Blade, all this would have been easier; the Demon Blade could pierce combat bodies, cut substitutes, allowing him vast operational space when paired with his awareness.

"Someone’s sweeping up all the Demon Blades; is it Caesar?"

"I actually managed to buy the S+ Demon Sword from under his nose, haha, why didn’t he buy the most expensive one first?"

Gao Xin was overjoyed but also a bit puzzled.

Solomon said calmly, "This is normal; the other side is probably not Caesar himself, but his subordinates tasked with watching for changes in the marketplace."

"As soon as they see the Demon Sword listed, they’d immediately buy it."

"But the most expensive one is likely reserved for Caesar himself; otherwise, his underlings would need too much prepared funds. You think everyone carries a huge cash flow like you?"

"Moreover, everyone knows Caesar would wage war for the Demon Sword, haha—probably only you dare to snag his sword on the island."

Gao Xin thought it made sense.

Who the hell carries more than a billion?

Even if someone does, they’re top-tier big shots.

And such characters wouldn’t be loitering in the marketplace all day snatching goods.

Evil Dragon Castle purchasing the Demon Sword definitely involves sending subordinates to watch, with limited ready cash.

Otherwise, a large organization’s cash flow would face problems.

As expected, when this batch of Demon Swords went online, Evil Dragon Castle likely just learned about it.

Then their subordinate informed Caesar, and before he could seal the purchase, Gao Xin, sitting on a fortune, seized the opportunity.

Caesar was probably dumbfounded, not expecting someone daring enough to grab his Demon Sword.

This is, after all, the first war fanatic of Crime Prison Island, famously known as the tyrant.

The trigger for three wars was his desire for all the Demon Swords. After the third war ended, he successfully obtained all the swords.

Since then, nobody dared compete with Evil Dragon Castle for the Demon Swords, as no one could research much anyway.

Who would’ve thought, Gao Xin directly brought a fortune and snatched the new S+ Demon Sword just online.

"Tsk tsk, this grudge might become big."

Gao Xin shook his head and sighed, but his gaze was firm.

Give him a million chances; he would still buy this sword.

"Solomon, where’s the sword?" Gao Xin urged.

Solomon said, "Don’t rush, I’ll deliver it myself. After all, Demon Swords can’t be transported via the electromagnetic field logistics system."

Gao Xin nodded, true enough; Demon Swords absorb and trigger energy states. To transport them, you can only rely on kinetic means, that is, physically carrying them over.

And apparently, the safe house exists in a special place.

If force field transport cannot be used, only someone can carry them over.

Gao Xin waited for a while; suddenly, the elevator stirred.

His eyes narrowed; it wasn’t the sword arriving—it’s Luo Yan!

"Luo Yan! That’s wonderful, you’re okay!"

Gao Xin rose with excitement, rushing forward.

He felt relieved inside; it was best that Luo Yan returned alive.

Though the audience stirred trouble, they couldn’t directly interfere within the game; high difficulty wasn’t a death sentence, and Luo Yan was quite adept at games.

Luo Yan looked somewhat apprehensive; seeing Gao Xin, his eyes suddenly reddened.

"Xin, I understand you... Damn, is this the hellish stuff you play with all day?"

"When I was in Yamaguchi Village, were you fighting tooth and nail in such difficult games to grow stronger and earn money to save me?"

"This is... too hard..."

Luo Yan’s face trembled, tightly hugging Gao Xin with eyes full of admiration.

This was only his second game, and what he thought would be relaxing ended up being explosively difficult.

He began questioning life itself.

Yet now, surviving felt euphoric—a sense of sheer shock transforming into remorse toward Gao Xin as he saw him.

He almost cried.

Gao Xin had achieved immense growth and acquired a stockpile of redemption vouchers in a short time to rescue him.

It was all thanks to the game, so the harder Luo Yan struggled inside it, the more he understood Gao Xin’s efforts.

Gao Xin chuckled warmly, "What? Got scared? This level of difficulty at just the second round—it’s truly impressive you survived."

Luo Yan, face taut with frustration, said, "This is damn crazy, okay? No glass soldiers; everyone besides me was a True Tiger! And there was even a Quasi-Tiger King!"

"Plus, the game itself was mind-numbingly complex; yet they all had perfect insight, I saw no advantage."

"What’s more absurd was that people immediately targeted me when I entered—I’m practically going mad!"

Gao Xin inquired curiously, "How did you stay alive?"

Luo Yan sighed, "Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted older sister; she allied with me, helping me through the toughest period."

"..." Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

Luo Yan’s luck with women was absurdly good, wasn’t it?

Gao Xin glanced behind Luo Yan, seeing Rousi perched on his shoulder... with an expression of desolation.

Luo Yan continued, "Her name is Hua Yin, from the New World. With her help, I stepped into True Tiger mid-game, coupled with Quantum Ghost, ensuring I didn’t drag her down."

"Later, the two of us cooperated, reaching the endgame... But our opponent, that Quasi-Tiger King, was ridiculous; Hua Yin stepped into Young Elephant yet couldn’t defeat him."

"That guy spoke of Tai Sui ahead, himself behind; they kill even tigers encountering elephants... Then, he battled until exhaustion, truly defeating both me and Hua Yin who’s stepping into Elephant Level, leaving only heads nailed in the room."

"Luckily, he coveted the highest reward, so needed us to remain alive temporarily."

"At the time, I had just a head left, skewered by a spear through my mouth, pinned to the wall—pure despair... It was so hard..."

Everyone was astounded: was it really that tough?

Luo Yan was defeated two against one, and his teammate was Elephant Level; their opponent merely a Quasi-Tiger King.

Finally, beaten to merely a head pinned to the wall, expecting death.

Luo Yan continued, "At one point, I thought of giving up; yet remembering, Gao Xin, you endured such hopeless games time and again..."

"To save me, who knows how many times you’ve faced such situations; getting decapitated, nailed on the wall, shut in a room for points... This sense of despair, you must have experienced..."

"And eventually, you overcame, reaching today... how could I abandon hope? So, at that moment, I too stepped into Elephant Level."

Saying this, he looked at Gao Xin with determination, revealing his biological field.

As wide as an eight-meter radius!
