Chapter 26: Rich Rewards

  "Is this victory?"

  Wu Sheng, who had just grasped the dagger in his hand in 2009, was about to make a big move, but he was shocked to hear the cold and ruthless declaration of the ruler that the heroes of the Nightmare faction had surrendered one after another, and the Tianhui faction won the victory.

  Victory came too suddenly, leaving him somewhat unprepared. After being stunned for a while, he finally came to his senses and shouted at Su Hong who was walking over: "One hammer decides the outcome! Enemy Law Brother, I finally understand your intention in using the Shattered Bone Hammer. You never intended to climb to the high ground of the opponent, but rather wanted to force them to surrender through this method. But didn't you say that once defeated, they would be ruthlessly erased by the ruler? Doesn't the person on the other side fear that?"

  "They should all be veterans, with a certain amount of Tian Ti points and Xue Xie coins on their bodies, which can be used to offset the punishment of the ruler, so they are not afraid." Su Hong explained with a slight smile.

  After a pause, Su Hong told Wu Sheng 2009 some rules of the ancient battlefield as much as possible to help him quickly pass through the ignorant stage of new players, which was also a return for his help in winning this battle.

  Of course, some secret information such as the Blood Tempering and Team Equipment Token, Su Hong did not mention. Although he had a good impression of Wu Sheng in 2009, without deeper contact and understanding, he would not casually inform someone about such key information.

  "Thanks, Enemy Law Brother. If it weren't for you, I might have been ruthlessly killed by the Dominator." After Su Hong's explanation, Wu Sheng 2009 unconsciously wiped away a cold sweat from his forehead, only then realizing that he had already walked a round trip in front of the Ghost Gate. If not for Su Hong being there, they wouldn't have even had a chance to turn things around, and the final outcome would be all too predictable.

  "Hehe." Su Hong shook his head and smiled lightly, patting Wu Sheng 2009's shoulder. "These are all small matters, no need to thank me, I just understand a bit more than you do. This Cang Yue space is extremely mysterious and danger lurks everywhere. To survive and truly stand firm, in the end one can only rely on oneself. So let's work hard together."

  "Alright!" Wu Xuan's face was firm in 2009, he nodded vigorously and then said with a hint of embarrassment: "Enemy Law Brother, I won't say more words of gratitude. If it's convenient for you, please tell me your contact information. Who knows, maybe one day we'll fight side by side again."

  "It's possible." Su Hong smiled slightly, Wu Sheng 2009's proposal coincided with his own thoughts. Having one more friend and one more path was a good thing, especially in this perilous month of mourning. Who knows, maybe one day they would fight side by side, just as Wu Sheng 2009 had said.

  After exchanging contact information in the real world, Su Hong didn't say much more because at this time, a loud thunderclap rolled across the sky and the cold, unfeeling voice of the ruler announced: "This battle has ended, the Tianhui camp wins. Each person receives a basic reward of ten Blood Coins and thirty points of Heavenly Ladder score. Please leave the Ancient Ruins battlefield within ten minutes."

  Immediately afterwards, a strange blood light flashed in the sky above the ancient ruins battlefield. Su Hong's chest tattoo slightly heated up, and a reward message that only he could see suddenly appeared, while his personal data also changed:

  Blood Type: AB

  Camp: Tianhui.

  Game times: 2

  Sky Ladder Points: 400

  Blood Gold Coin: 134

  Game death count: 1

  Successfully tempered blood once, and the personal attribute panel is opened accordingly, with specific attributes as follows:

  Magic Points: 30

  Physical strength: 0.6

  Power: 2

  Intelligence: 2

  ……

  "He was actually given an extra reward of 100 Blood Coins and 270 Heavenly Ladder points!" Su Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he had expected that this time's extra reward would exceed the last time, but he hadn't thought it would exceed by so much. It seemed that just as Li Dairen said, the battles in the Shangyue Space were bloody and cruel, but as long as one could pass the test, the ruler was also very generous with rewards, being extra liberal with his hands.

  Let's take this battle as an example. From the start, the match was extremely abnormal and unbalanced, it can be said that it was very frustrating. However, after Su Hong led four newbies to a difficult victory, the benefits gained from it were also exceptionally rich. Not to mention the extra rewards of 100 Blood Coins and 270 Sky Ladder points, just the special reward for that bloody battle alone was enough to satisfy Su Hong.

  Also, if Su Hong wasn't mistaken, if he could complete a godlike kill in battle, he should have gotten another special reward from Blood Tempering. Unfortunately, the Nightmares chose to surrender and give up, not giving him the chance...

  "It seems that the unwritten law of high returns always being accompanied by high risks also applies in the Shangyue space, and is even more cruel. The ruler appears to be encouraging all the trial-takers to boldly break through conventions and constantly challenge their own limits." Su Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, and his understanding of the Shangyue space deepened once again.

  Just then, Wu Sheng's words in 2009 brought Su Hong's thoughts back. He saw him standing under the World Tree, clicking his tongue and saying: "Enemy Law Brother, this Blood Coin is not ordinary precious, one Blood Coin can be exchanged for a gold bar, now I believe what you said before, ten Blood Coins are indeed equivalent to 10 million RMB!"

  "What? Blood coins can be exchanged for gold bars?" The social thug, who was disguised as a fairy dragon Puck, heard this and his eyes widened in surprise. He quickly walked over, carefully examined it, and then revealed an ecstatic expression. Without hesitation, he used the ten blood coins he had obtained as a basic reward from the World Tree to exchange for ten gold bars, which he hugged tightly in his arms, laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

  Huǒ nǚ Lì Nà and Tiān Nù Fǎ Shī saw that there was still such a good thing, where they would not easily let go. After identifying the gold bar in the social thug's arms, they suddenly smiled with joy, and then exchanged the gold bars from the World Tree without saying goodbye, directly exiting the Cáng Yuè space.

  "Hey! You little punk, since you helped me make a fortune, let's just forget about the previous debt!" The young thug said with a flourish of his hand, striking a very generous pose as he spoke to Su Hong.

  "Hehe." Su Hong chuckled and shook her head slightly.

  "Enemy Law, didn't I say something wrong? It's too misleading. Those guys completely don't understand the situation and won't think that after leaving, they can thoroughly leave the Moonlit Space?" Wu Sheng 2009 rubbed his nose, somewhat embarrassed to say, originally he was going to tease Su Hong a bit, but unexpectedly it led to the other three people rushing to exchange for gold bars, so much so that he didn't even have time to stop them.

  "It has nothing to do with you, as the saying goes, 'the strong survive and the weak perish.' Although these three guys managed to escape today's calamity by luck, it won't be long before they are ruthlessly eliminated by the ruler. It's just a matter of sooner or later." Su Hong said shaking his head.

  "Alright, that's it. The battle is over and it's time to leave. If there's anything else, we can contact each other in the real world." Su Hong smiled slightly and patted Wu Sheng 2009 on the shoulder, his entire body gradually fading away before disappearing instantly from the ancient ruins battlefield.

  "Farewell, Enemy Law! We will meet again!" Wu Sheng loudly waved goodbye in 2009, and after lingering for a while under the World Tree, he also left the Xue Yue space.

  ……

  "Ah~~~~"

  After exiting the Cang Yue space, Su Hong's figure appeared in front of his small cottage. However, just as he was about to take a step forward, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. The severe pain that followed made him let out a miserable cry.

  "It hurts to death! It turns out that after dying on the ancient battlefield, there are still aftereffects...” Su Hong struggled to move his feet, lying flat on the bed, panting heavily, with a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

  At first, when meeting Li Dairen in the cafe, Li Dairen had reminded him that it was not recommended for him to frequently enter the Cang Yue space to participate in battles. He should ensure that he could have three or four battles per month. Su Hong had been skeptical about this at first, but now he completely understood what Li Dairen meant earlier.

  Originally, after dying once on the ancient ruins battlefield, although it can be revived through the base's Fountain of Life, seemingly without damage, but when returning to the real world, the hidden dangers will erupt, and the sequelae will become apparent.

  At this moment, Su Hong felt that his entire body's muscles were sore and aching, with bulging veins, trembling non-stop, extremely painful. If he had to describe it, it was similar to the time when he was bitten to death by the neutral wild monster in the past. Although he wouldn't die from it this time since he had already exited the Cang Yue space, nobody would want to experience this intense pain for a second time...

  It wasn't until a while later that Su Hong finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling slightly better. He sat up from the bed, but still felt weak and limp all over, only able to lean against the side of the bed as he slowly regained his strength. It was clear that getting out of bed immediately was not an option.

  "It seems that I need to take a few days off and wait for my body to fully recover before entering the Shangyue space again. Otherwise, with this physical condition, fighting in the ancient ruins battlefield will definitely have some negative impact." Su Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, fortunately, he won this battle and gained some benefits from it, which gave him the capital to take a few days off, but if he had lost, the consequences would be severe.

  "Just dying once and returning to the real world, the body would produce such a strong pain reaction. What if I died seven or eight times?" Su Hong thought of someone and couldn't help but look out the window, a sympathetic and mournful expression floating on his face.

  At the same time, in a residential area near Hangzhou University Town, a loud and mournful cry suddenly rang out, shaking the surroundings. A university student wearing black-framed glasses fainted on his own balcony with a very tragic look.
