Chapter 136: Special Item
by xennovelAt this moment, Yu Sheng’an hadn’t realized that in this black forest of the multiverse, he, as a parachuting hunter, not only brought threats but also introduced new ideas, causing the Underworld God’s technology… to explode soon!
His attention was mainly focused on the war in Khazad-dûm.
After he rejected the ‘help’ proposal from the three Archmages of Quever, the number of [Conquest Sub-Dimension] guilds skyrocketed.
In just one night, it exceeded three figures.
And the numbers continue to rise!
Before, most guilds were just noble offspring playing around;
Now, the newly formed guilds have a strong purpose—to plunder Khazad-dûm.
Suddenly, a large number of mid to high-level magicians flocked to [Conquest Sub-Dimension].
They established guilds, recruited players, assembled teams with organization and plans, invading Khazad-dûm in an organized manner.
Although Yu Sheng’an detested officials’ monopoly, he treated those who followed his game rules with great courtesy!
After careful consideration, to balance the military strength invested in the Dofi Sub-Dimension, he thought about it and added an item in the [Conquest] mall.
As soon as this item appeared, not to mention the magicians of Quever, even the multiverse gods secretly observing Yu Sheng’an were shocked!
…
…
The pride of Kabayer, the genius magister of the Du family—Du Chil—is coming back!
After this news was confirmed by the Old Man of the Du family, the whole Du family suddenly erupted.
Countless servants were busy inside and out.
Busy with thorough cleaning;
Busy purchasing food ingredients.
Even the most carefree second young master of the Du family—Dudoder—dressed in finely tailored clothes and meticulously groomed, went to the city’s Magic Tower to welcome his brother Du Chil back home.
The grand gesture of the Du family naturally drew the attention of countless residents of Kabayer.
Dudoder stood outside the Magic Tower and, seeing the grand gesture of his family, a hint of envy flashed deep inside.
Such treatment, he could only enjoy a bit in [Conquest Sub-Dimension], but that’s the result of spending money.
Sigh!
Don’t be ungrateful. Having the life you have now is all thanks to your brother. Want to have the same status and treatment as your brother? What are you thinking?
Dudoder laughed at himself.
However, his self-mockery implies he already has the courage to face reality.
Where did this courage come from?
This has to start from the instance opened by [Conquest].
Since the Internet God declared war on Khazad-dûm, Dudoder hasn’t spent money in [Conquest].
Because by leading his brothers, he could achieve a balanced income by plundering Khazad-dûm, and even have a surplus.
This greatly increased his confidence!
Thanks to the Internet God, we’re earning money now!
He has already decided to save money to buy an airship, to travel to the remote areas of Khazad-dûm and uphold justice for the Internet God!
Lost in thought, the archway of the Magic Tower quietly opened.
Two magisters in red robes walked out.
One was the mage overseeing Kabayer;
The other was clearly Dudoder’s brother—the red-robed magister Du Chil.
Du Chil, nearing forty, looked very young.
Probably due to staying indoors for long periods researching magic, his skin was very fair, and his red robe, symbolizing status and power, made him the focus of attention instantly.
After Du Chil bid farewell to the overseeing mage, he walked towards his family.
He first respectfully saluted his parents. Amid their comments about his thinner appearance, he turned to his waste-of-a-brother, Dudoder.
It had been a long time since Dudoder had seen his brother. Suddenly seeing his brother looking over, he inexplicably became nervous.
To his surprise, his brother Du Chil, instead of being his usual strict self, smiled as he walked over and affectionately patted his shoulder, saying, “Do you know why I came back suddenly this time?”
Dudoder shook his head in confusion.
“Because of you, my dear brother!”
This wasn’t sarcasm because when Du Chil said this, his eyes were clearly sparkling with excitement, and his hand unconsciously gripped Dudoder’s shoulder.
Dudoder was dumbfounded.
His parents exchanged puzzled looks.
To be honest, the Du family was very satisfied with having a magical genius like Du Chil.
But as for Dudoder?
If he didn’t cause trouble for them, they were already extremely thankful.
So why had Dudoder suddenly attracted the attention of his big brother Du Chil?
“Did something happen?”
Dudoder’s parents couldn’t help but ask, fearing their youngest had caused more trouble for the eldest.
“Conquest of all corners!” Du Chil said with a smile.
“What? Conquest of all corners?” Dudoder’s parents exchanged puzzled looks.
“Mom and Dad, you don’t know yet? In [Conquest], the guild Conquest of All Corners that Dudoder established has looted sixty thousand gold coins in just one week, ranking at the top among all guilds. Isn’t that impressive!”
While praising him, Du Chil couldn’t resist patting his brother’s shoulder again.
Hearing this, Dudoder’s face suddenly turned red.
He was excited!
He had never heard his brother praise him like this!
Honestly, the last time his brother had spoken with some praise was when he earned the ‘Empire Guard’ title during the invasion of the five evil gods, which his brother mentioned in passing.
That could scarcely even be considered praise.
It could only be said his brother acknowledged that event.
But even so, it made him so excited he couldn’t sleep all night.
He felt he finally did something that his brother appreciated.
Who would’ve thought that this time the updated instance of [Conquest Sub-Dimension] would attract his brother’s attention and even praise?
And to him, it still didn’t feel as glorious as earning the ‘Empire Guard’ title!
“What? Sixty thousand gold coins?” Dudoder’s parents were shocked.
“Could it be that he spent sixty thousand gold coins? That’s not right, I didn’t give him that much money!” The Old Man of the Du family seemed to remember something, angrily looking at Dudoder’s mother, “Did you give this unworthy son money again?”
Dudoder’s mother looked a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, Dudoder had asked her for money before.
She felt soft-hearted and gave it to him.
In the family, their youngest was the least accomplished and the one she worried about the most.
As long as he didn’t cause trouble, she was content. Spending some money was nothing.
“Dad, don’t blame Mom. I borrowed money from Mom, and I’ll pay it back! I’ll repay double!”
Dudoder was anxious and hurriedly said.
Before the Old Man of the Du family could blow his top, Du Chil promptly said, “Dad, you’re mistaken. Dudoder indeed earned sixty thousand gold coins, which he can withdraw from the Internet Bank at any time! Dudoder, didn’t you tell Mom and Dad?”
“No, after distributing the money to my brothers, only over twenty thousand gold coins were left.” Dudoder said.
Upon hearing this, Dudoder’s parents exchanged looks.
Even with only twenty thousand gold coins left, that wasn’t a small sum!
The overseeing mage, who hadn’t left, walked over in surprise and said:
“Du Chil, your brother is the leader of Conquest of All Corners? Oh, I oversee this city, yet I didn’t know. That’s really neglectful! Guild Leader Dudoder, I’ve long admired you! My brother also established a guild called ‘The Victors’ in [Conquest]. You should exchange ideas when there’s a chance.”
The overseeing mage’s words made the Du family even more astonished.
Not just Dudoder’s parents, even the surrounding servants looked at Dudoder with eyes full of surprise.
In everyone’s impression, Dudoder was just a young master enjoying the protection of his brother.
Though they feared him, they never truly respected him.
Only a few servants who usually messed around with Dudoder raised their chins proudly, sharing in the glory.
“Oh, you child, why didn’t you tell the family when you earned money?” Dudoder’s mother said joyfully and surprisingly, glad that the youngest finally seemed to show promise.
“I planned to save money to buy an airship, so I didn’t say anything.” Seeing his mother’s excitement, Dudoder suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
“Good idea! No need to save. I planned to sponsor you with two hundred thousand gold coins! As brothers, if we’re going to buy, we’ll buy the best.” Du Chil said firmly.
“What? Two hundred thousand gold coins?”
The Du family was stunned. Before his parents could question him further, Du Chil started ushering them:
“This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go home and discuss.”
He said this, and after bidding farewell to the overseeing mage, he wrapped his arm around his brother’s shoulder and headed to the carriage.
After the two brothers sat in the carriage, Dudoder couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, do you really plan to buy the best airship?”
“Of course!”
“But, wouldn’t that cost too much?”
“High risk, high reward!” Du Chil lowered his voice and said, “Did you see the item updated in [Conquest] this morning?”
“This morning?” Dudoder frowned slightly and simply opened the Internet to check the [Conquest Forum].
—At the top, some summarize daily updates of [Conquest]’s content.
“You mean… Source Essence?” Looking slightly, Dudoder raised his head in hesitation and asked.
“That’s right!” Du Chil’s eyes burst with fiery light, “Do you know what it does?”
Dudoder shook his head.
“It can enhance the soul! In other words, it can change your talent, allowing you to return to the path of magic!”
Hearing this, Dudoder’s pupils suddenly dilated!
