Chapter 538
As long as heroes are elevated to a high enough position, there will always be people who ignore danger and climb upwards one after another.
It seems, it can only be like this.
Almost every day, a large number of disasters erode this world. Every moment, brave Origin Mages who solve disasters die, and more new generations awaken to become new Origin Mages, joining the team, embarking on heroic epic careers, until they die in some disaster.
Too many!
So much so that the entire group gradually becomes numb.
Everyone only remembers the victors, those who died are commemorated with wreaths, and then life goes on.
Even Ah Xing, at the center of the spotlight, didnt feel anything wrong.
The victories he earned with his life should be enjoyed as his own glory. With such glory, he overcomes strange disasters time and time again until he earns the title of Bizarre Disaster Slayer, until he dies in some disaster.
A night of joy.
The next day, Su Hao and the others set off back to Huai Shui Town.
Their one thousand high-quality source stones will be approved within a month after reporting and distributed by the Huai Shui Town Association.
The direct gain this time was eighty-three high-quality source stones, twenty-five for each of the three, leaving eight. Six of these were given to Xiao Tang, and the final two, one each for Su Hao and Ah Xing, as a reward.
Xiao Tang didnt want them initially, but Ah Xing said they were for her to give as consolation money to the families of the deceased teammates, so Xiao Tang accepted.
Not much, but better than nothing.
Before disbanding, Ah Xing announced that the team would have a month of rest, with no mandatory recruitment missions, and no missions outside for a month. The reason was to summarize this disaster, identify their shortcomings, and urgently seek improvement.
After disbanding, Su Hao returned home to freshen up, then teleported to the temporary base outside the town.
As soon as he appeared, a black and yellow figure immediately pounced on him.
It was Big Dog!
But its sincere gesture was destined to receive no response, as Su Hao kicked it a meter away.
Yashan and Feng Cheng were trying to make a crude apparatus for synthesizing spiritual medicine. When they saw Su Hao appear, they stopped their work and ran over curiously, asking, Boss Wei, youre back so soon? Did you figure out what the bizarre disaster was?
In fact, this mission only took a few days from start to finish. For cultivators like Yashan and Feng Cheng, who almost measure time in years as the smallest unit, it was like he had just left for a moment and returned.
Su Hao didnt say much, he directly sent them the video of solving the bizarre disaster for them to watch.
After watching it, Yashan and Feng Cheng looked at each other, feeling a chill down their spines.
Yashan muttered, This is too damn scary, its like watching a horror movie.
Feng Cheng couldnt believe it: This is clearly ghostly If we were to be whipped, even as cultivators, wouldnt we perish? I didnt expect bizarre disasters to be so dangerous.
Yashan chuckled: Look at you, forgetting who you are? Youre a Shell Person! Later, you became a Child of Fate, its not easy to die.
Feng Cheng was shocked: I saw brains running around, and Child of Fate can still replenish brains?
Yashan: I havent tried that yet
Su Hao said: Now it seems that this world is too strange and dangerous. Those who possess this strange power are not only bizarre disasters but also many strange Origin Mages. If you are careless, you might inexplicably fall victim to it. Without understanding the principles behind it, once affected, even with transcendent power, theres no solution. To be honest, I wouldnt be surprised if one day I sneeze and inexplicably die while going out.
Yashan and Feng Cheng, who had watched the video, deeply agreed.
Su Hao continued: So, before we restore our peak strength, its better to keep a low profile. Yashan, teach Feng Cheng the teleportation technique! Things that can save your life should be prioritized. Next month, Ill help you both evolve into Prophetic Persons to improve your brains!
Yashan said: Okay, Boss Wei.
Prophetic Persons? Feng Cheng heard another new term and didnt understand, but immediately opened the omnipotent assistant to search for it.
He had learned to ask the assistant when he didnt understand things now
Su Hao said: Yashan, how is the progress with your spiritual medicine? Thats the most crucial.
Yashan scratched his head: We are currently designing a synthesis assembly line machine, using spiritual rune structures, but currently, we are still in the stage of refining blood qi. Without strong power, its too difficult to make many instruments by hand! The key is, we dont have corresponding material reserves
Su Hao thought for a moment, and then said: In that case, Yashan, you break down some of the machine design drawings into parts, and Ill pay someone to make them. The source energy industry in this world seems to be doing well. As long as we have enough money, it shouldnt be difficult to produce these things.
Feng Cheng exclaimed: This will cost a lot, Boss Wei, do you have money?
Yashan couldnt help but pat Feng Chengs head and said: Your brain is even worse than mine. I already told you back in school, money isnt such a superficial thing. As long as there is sufficient productivity and surplus value in society, then when Boss Wei goes out for a stroll, wont he have it? How much do we lack?
Although this reasoning made sense, Su Hao still said: Yashan, do you think of me as a robber? Am I that kind of person?
As he spoke, he casually took out two source stones and gestured: I can earn these myself, I dont need to rob.
Yashan and Feng Cheng leaned in: Are these source stones money?
Source stones arent money, but they are valuable. They can be exchanged for a lot in the association. If I exchange all the source stones on me, it should be enough
Whether it was enough or not, Su Hao wasnt sure himself. He didnt know much about the mechanical production capabilities of this world.
Yashan asked curiously: Boss Wei, can I take a look?
Su Hao put away the source stones with a backhand: Not for now. These things are very dangerous. If someone who doesnt know how to use them touches them, they might accidentally kill themselves. To obtain the source safely, you still need to awaken at the Mage Association.
Just like when Su Hao awakened, if he had directly awakened with a source stone, he might have caused a huge explosion that would have flattened the entire town.
Seeing Su Hao say this, Yashan could only temporarily suppress his curiosity.
After Su Hao gave some more instructions, he turned around and said, Lets go, Big Dog, were going back to the town.
Big Dog immediately dashed out with a whoosh.
This Big Dog could also be kept at the base, but after all, 25 Baisha Lane in Huai Shui Town was its true home!
Since its master was gone, at least the home should be kept for it.
After returning to the town, Su Hao went straight to the hall of the association.
There werent many Origin Mages in the town, so the scene was usually quite deserted. The receptionist, Gulang, was dozing off as usual.
When Su Hao walked in, Gulang immediately woke up, her expression becoming very excited: Ziyang, I heard that your Yang Wang Star Gazing team solved a strange disaster in Weeping Willow Town and became mage heroes! Thats amazing! Now your deeds are spreading everywhere, youve become famous!
And I heard that someone has already turned your experiences into a story called Rescuing Children in Desperate Situations, and they even want to write it into a book! Im so envious, if only I were as skilled as you.
Su Hao ignored her directly, putting a small bag of source stones on the counter: Gulang, can you help me see how much money these source stones can be exchanged for?
Gulang was stunned: What? You want to exchange so many source stones for money?
Is that not allowed?
Its allowed, but its a big loss. Usually, you only exchange a few, most of them are used by yourself. Origin Mages are in great need of these things, and whatever amount you have is never enough!
Oh right! I almost forgot, youre the heroic team that solved the strange disaster. Youve already made a fortune! Its normal to exchange some money Im so envious!
Su Hao said: Can you help me exchange them now? How much can I get? Hurry up and do it, I might give you a tip.
Gulangs eyes lit up, and she immediately said, Ill exchange them for you right away, just wait a moment.
