Chapter 392 – Origins of Water and Wood (1/2)

Whether willing or not, the ordinary players paid the self-redemption fee of 100,000 gold coins each. Since there were nearly ten million people here, that meant nearly one trillion gold coins. Upon hearing this number, not only Fatty, but even Lin Xi was dumbstruck.

“Are you sure?” Fatty asked Bai Xiaosheng, eyes wide. The All-Knowing Sect was responsible for calculating the harvest this time, and everything went through Bai Xiaosheng first.

“Yes.” Bai Xiaosheng gulped. He was also frightened by the number.

“How can there be so much?” Fatty felt like it was a daydream.

“Not really, there are early ten million people after all.” The aged and experienced Bai Xiaosheng first regained his composure.

“What about those guild masters? How are we gonna butcher them?” HeadofGod and the others also felt quite blissful.

“Since we’ve offended them anyway, extort them as brutally as possible,” savagely said Fatty who had woken up from his trance.

Fatty had a good talk with the guild masters from all over the world. This talk was recorded in the history of the game. Fatty called it ‘a great conversation that laid the foundation for the fight of humankind against the Demon race,’ while the guild masters called it “robber-style talk, cunning extortion using any underhanded means possible.’

In any case, the conversation was happily conducted in a pleasant atmosphere – of course, according to Fatty. As for whether the guild masters were happy or not, he didn’t care.

After a long period of bargaining and working his butcher blade, Fatty finally ordered the Thunderstorm Formation to be opened. With pale faces full of fear, the guild masters rejoined their people and left in a hurry. Even the fiercest one didn’t want to linger a second to drop any cruel words.

“I’m rich!” Fatty laughed face up at the sky. Excluding the expenses, this harvest was nearly 500 billion gold coins. This number floated back and forth in his mind, knocking him dizzy.

Apart from the money, Fatty got many good things from the guild masters. He had stripped off all of their belongings except for the equipment they used.

“Now we’re really public enemy number one,” said East Gate BlowingWind with a pained smile.

“Public enemy then public enemy it is. The Demon army is attacking on a large scale, not like they’d dare to come here and attack my city at this kind of time.” Fatty pouted. He simply didn’t care.

With this harvest, plus half the construction of the city that Lin Xi had promised to undertake, Fatty could already see a future where a flying war fortress attacked wherever he pointed at.

“That’s right, my Lordship, how can someone so stingy like you would offer to take on the construction of half of Sky City for a Divine artifact? This isn’t like you,” Fatty probed as he suddenly remembered this matter.

“His Majesty has decreed that in order to reward the lord of Sky City for his contribution to the battle with the Sun Dynasty and to prepare for the future wars against the Demon race, the Treasury Department is hereby to audit the needs of Sky City construction, half of which shall be borne by the dynasty,” Lin Xi announced dryly.

Fatty fell on his back.

“Lin Xi, you are too cruel!!!” A long while later, Fatty’s roar resounded in Sky City.

Stingy as he was, Fatty naturally wouldn’t let Lin Xi trick away a Divine artifact so easily. The two had a heated argument for a whole afternoon before they finally reached an agreement. The Doomsday Ice Staff went to Lin Xi and Black Tortoise City would provide various resources to Sky City at a 10% discount.

Sending off Lin Xi, Fatty began to count the harvest he extorted from the guild masters. Immediately, a ball-shaped equipment attracted his attention.

This round equipment was foggy with light circulating inside, from which the sound of flowing water could be heard, like it had imprisoned countless rivers.

“This is the Origin of Water!” West, who was taken aback by the breath blowing by him, recognized it immediately.

Amazingly, this, the Origin of Water, the dream of every water mage, had been thrown to Fatty by some blind guild master who couldn’t recognize the treasure in front of him. Fatty carefully placed it on the Elemental Skill Book and saw a deep blue light shine. As the rumbles like tidal waves poured out from the skill book, the entire Holy Spirit Island was bathed in this deep blue light.

“Finally, another good part has been restored.” Fatty was overjoyed.

At present, the fire and water energy needed to repair the Elemental Mystery Realm had been fully gathered. Plus the Demon-Sealing Stele, it could be said that half of the restoration was done. As long as Fatty found the other three elemental origins, the reappearance of a Legendary artifact would be around the corner.

“I know where the Origin of Wood is,” West said.

“Where?” Fatty hastily asked.

“In Azure Dragon Mountain, northeast of Azure Dragon City, there’s a valley called Myriad Blooms where there’s an azure tree over thirty-thousand meters high. It should know where the Origin of Wood might be. I never told you because you weren’t strong enough before. Now you can go there,” West said.

“Azure Dragon Mountain, Myriad Blooms Valley.” Fatty kept the two names firmly in mind.

He wasn’t in a hurry to find the Origin of Wood. After giving instructions on the course of Sky City construction, he left for the Imperial Capital.
