An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 35 The debt must be repaid!

Having reached a deal, Chu Xiu stopped wasting time and began helping everyone upgrade their equipment.

Li Shan's bone bow, Wang Long's battle axe, and a set of bone armor for each person.
This time, with everyone supervising, he didn't cut corners. After refining all the corpses, the weapons all reached +4 level, unlocking the first layer of restrictions, and most of the armor was also upgraded to +2.
Shen Zhuo's combat team consisted of seven people, each equipped with a +4 weapon of standard quality and a +2 armor, which greatly boosted the team's overall strength!

The corpse of that elite monster was used to create a +6 quality weapon!
With the seven of them working together, they were able to easily hunt the elite corpse dog that Chu Xiu had encountered at noon that day.

Of course, he was still far inferior to Chu Xiu. Although he didn't have many combat skills, his +7 energy-absorbing heavy armor and two Yin Ghosts were no joke.

Although the opponents are combat professions, apart from Shen Zhuo, their profession levels are not high.

The gap between Chu Xiu and the others continued to widen.

This is why he felt so confident in upgrading everyone's equipment.

"Here, these are the agreed-upon 117 causal points." Shen Zhuo looked pained.

Of the 300 causal points he initially brought, half went into Chu Xiu's pocket.

Chu Xiu accepted it with satisfaction, bringing his total number of karma points to 384!
How wealthy!
A genuine smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face.

Shen Zhuo glanced at him dejectedly, perhaps wanting to salvage some of the loss, and asked, "Want some meat? I'll give you a discount, 2 credits for three catties."

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "No need. I was lucky today and caught a little wild boar."

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo became even more annoyed. Not wanting to look at Chu Xiu's hateful face any longer, he simply turned around and left.

After completing this deal, Chu Xiu, unusually, wore a smile and bid farewell to the wealthy man with a beaming expression.

This left Shen Zhuo speechless. He glared at him a few times and then pushed the door open and left.

After seeing Shen Zhuo off, just as Chu Xiu was about to carefully consider how to spend so many cause and effect points, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He discovered that Wang Long and Li Shan did not leave with Shen Zhuo; Wu Xinyi and a tall, thin man were also left with them.

He was also a member of the combat team. Chu Xiu didn't know his name, but he had scanned him with his Ghostly Eyes. His profession was Escort (C), and he was considered a decent member of the combat team.

At this moment, the four people were playing with their newly upgraded equipment, but showed no intention of leaving.

"Is there anything else, everyone?" Chu Xiu asked, frowning.

Wang Long wiped his axe and grinned menacingly. "Chu Xiu, you're a rich man now, aren't you? It's time to pay back the karma points you owe us, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu revealed a knowing expression.

Is he now that he's grown up and has the confidence to challenge him?

Chu Xiu glanced at the equipment they had made themselves and found it somewhat amusing.

Wearing his gear to cause him trouble, and even knowing how to form cliques and call on teammates to back him up, that really has the style of a demonic cultivator!
Chu Xiu's eyes showed approval.

"So?" he asked.

"We hunted down five ghouls together, but we got a lot of karma points and an extra piece of equipment. We saw all of that."

Wang Long was clearly prepared, counting on his fingers as he said, "The corpses of those five ghouls also need to be counted, and since it's the early stage when everyone's level is not high, these resources will also be calculated with additional bonuses." "Each piece of equipment is worth 50 points, and each corpse is worth 10 points. We four will each get 25% of the share. In short, just give us a total of 100 karma points."

Wang Long squinted at him: "You just took 117 karma points from the boss, don't tell me you didn't."

Seeing Wang Long's well-prepared and confidently demanding manner, Chu Xiu found it even more amusing: "Did Shen Zhuo send you? Do you think your equipment level is sufficient and you no longer need me?"

“It’s none of the captain’s business,” the tall, thin man shook his head. “But it’s only right to pay back debts, and the captain will definitely support us.”

“That’s right,” Wu Xinyi nodded. “I’m here to get back Yunlu’s share. She was too embarrassed to ask, but I can’t let you bully her like this. You should know how valuable those five black-haired corpses were in the early stages. 100 karma points isn’t an unreasonable price!”

Li Shan also said, "Chu Xiu, the four of us are now all Level 3 Awakeners, and all of us are combat professionals. You can no longer bully others like before."

Looking at the four menacing figures, Chu Xiu found it increasingly amusing. He suddenly felt that he was a failure as a demonic cultivator. He had been in the Abyss for four days and had not killed anyone. Now, it seemed that he had become an easy target for others to bully.

Chu Xiu gently stroked the bone spear in his hand and said with a faint smile, "What if I don't give it to you? What do you want to do? Kill me? Then come on then."

As he spoke, he brazenly spread his arms, looking like he was ready to fight or kill anyone who wanted to.

Seeing his shamelessness, the group was stunned. They stared at him for a long time, but no one stepped forward.

After all, they are all high school students. A little bullying at school is enough. If it really comes down to killing someone, they will all have psychological burdens.

Except for a few scumbags.

At this moment, Li Shan suddenly said, "We can use his equipment as compensation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu gave the man a deep look.

Although Li Shan may seem harmless, Chu Xiu has already discovered that he is actually the most ruthless of the four. The more honest a person is bullied in daily life, the more decisive they are when they actually take action.

Unlike Wang Long, who usually acts cool and tough because he knows he won't really encounter danger, he immediately reveals his true colors when it comes to actual combat.

It's likely that this person secretly orchestrated the gathering of four people to cause him trouble.

Chu Xiu had no objection to this, after all, his own character was much worse than Li Shan's, so it was perfectly normal for the other party to want revenge.

The only pity is that he chose the wrong person.

Li Shan's words also stirred up the others, and their eyes revealed greedy looks.

Since Chu Xiu had used most of his storage space to store wild boar meat, he was wearing his bone armor directly on his body. Its unique defensive capabilities naturally attracted everyone's attention.

“Let’s hold him down and strip him of his armor. This armor can barely be worth 100 karma points!” Wang Long said, his eyes darting around.

Others nodded.

Chu Xiu himself had no objection to this.

There was even some anticipation.

He placed the bone spear on his lap, a kind smile on his face:
"Okay, come and get it quickly."
