He was calculating. Xie Xiaochan had just woken up faintly. She was dazed as she opened her eyes, saw Xu Shu close by, and then noticed his big hand slid inside her clothes resting on her stomach, which was burning hot. "Mmm... the hot hand of a warrior... huh?" "Yeah, you’re awake," Xu Shu pinched again. "Slap!" Xie Xiaochan slapped Xu Shu across the face, mixing shame with anger, "What are you doing!" Dammit, I taught him so generously, sharing important details he didn’t know, and he dared to take advantage of me while I was passed out, it’s just... wait, why did I faint? Xie Xiaochan suddenly stopped thinking. If this slap were outside, it would’ve skinned a layer off Xu Shu. However, this was inside the ruins, under the protection of the "Heart Fire Incense Burner," Xie Xiaochan’s attack was no different than a peck on Xu Shu’s face. The only real effect was to push Xu Shu back a couple of steps. The incense burner only protected Xu Shu. The force was still present, while the incense burner’s duration decreased by one. "...How should I explain this..." Xu Shu fell into contemplation. At that moment, Xie Xiaochan somewhat embarrassedly said, "Did I just faint? Were you treating me? I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, but it probably didn’t hurt you. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "By the way, you actually knew that in a certain state known to the Seven-color Taoist, rubbing the stomach could restore energy. You’re not that ignorant, are you?" She looked at Xu Shu with newfound respect. Xu Shu: "..." Is that so? No wonder they say the Seven-color Taoist is seven times more lecherous than the Lecherous Taoist, possessing such inconceivable abilities. Truly a shameful constitution! "Let’s go, time to distribute the spoils. Once we’re done, we can head back. Hehe, you’re quite fierce. If needed, I can bring you along more often to Qingyun 414, little brother." Xie Xiaochan said. "Hehe, sure, definitely next time." Xu Shu was expressionless. Upon returning to the front of the ruins of Lanruo Xiaozhu, Song Nianhui and others had been waiting for a while; they had reasonably divided the spoils into six parts. Among them, there were 94 white Erosion Crystals, split into six portions, laid out in a row. One portion had 19 crystals, while the other five portions had 15 each. On top of that, six were the souls of Ghost Soldiers, green quality Erosion Crystals. Above those stacks of 15, they were arranged in order of 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, totaling six green crystals. Finally, inside the two portions with zeros, each got a blue Erosion Crystal added. The remaining portion had a Twisted Tree Spirit Root added. Thus, the most valuable was the one with a second-level blue crystal, far surpassing the others. Then came the one with a first-level blue Erosion Crystal. For Transcendents, "quality" always meant everything, especially in blue quality and above, it was very rare. High rank Erosion Crystals could be used to create high-level Curse Seals, and digesting high level crystals also made it easier to breakthrough levels or even achieve sudden insights. In essence, the Extraordinary World was very focussed on "color." As for the other portions, their values were quite similar. Not to even mention the uses of Twisted Tree Spirit’s roots, its blue quality was from second order monsters, potentially slightly more valuable than two or three first-level green crystals, but not by much—In the Extraordinary World, monster physical materials mostly played a supportive role, with Erosion Crystals being the most valuable. The value differences in the other portions were notable but not highly significant. The worst portion was the single set of 19 white crystals, but since it had four more crystals than the others, it barely lagged behind. If converted into a currency usable by ordinary people, it was worth at least millions. Because the Lie Zhenzi trading area doesn’t use ordinary currency, transactions are done with "Contribution Points." Thus, from the onset of the Extraordinary Alliance, no one wanted to exchange Erosion Crystals for currency; it was either consumed or bartered with other Transcendents. That put the Supervision Bureau in a difficult position, as currency needed to be uniform. After many years, the Supervision Bureau finally managed to equate ordinary currency and gold through the increasing profession of "Alchemists." Since then, Transcendents were willing to exchange Erosion Crystals for money—gold being a consumable item, could be added to Promotion Drives, effectively reducing the mental anguish of Transcendents as they absorbed the curse power from crystals. Thus, the currency system of the Post-Apocalypse World was finally stabilized by a "gold equivalent". It made Xu Shu quite reflective; this was just from a second-tier instance, and the best "hidden boss" wasn’t even defeated for money. Yet, even so, the obtained spoils could grant him a fortune of millions, an amount most people could not amass in their lifetimes. —The safe area was too competitive, unlike before the disaster where there was plenty of "financial bubbles," where more than half the people had an annual salary pegged at 50,000. After paying basic taxes, even affording meals was tight. Only because housing was nearly free did they avoid homelessness. An annual salary over 100,000 was considered elite. Xu Shu’s adoptive father once had an annual salary of 300,000 alliance currency, a very formidable technical expert. From this, you can see, the gap between Transcendents and ordinary people is comprehensive, not just limited to ’individual power.’
