Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 39: Blood Demon Imprisoning the Dragon's Heart

What is a "tuhao" (nouveau riche)?

Ling Xiao didn't really know either, after all, he was a penniless person before he transmigrated.

But he understood one thing:

Money, in itself, is nothing!

If it cannot be converted into purchasing power, money is just a uniformly shaped piece of waste.

Don't be fooled by his current large savings and the fact that his forging furnace is still making a steady stream of profits.

When there are no desired goods on the market, having more ominous copper coins is just an ever-increasing number.

As the newly appointed vice president, Ling Xiao's foundation in the guild is actually very weak compared to Dao Ge and Ye Zhanqing.

As the top-ranked player, his title alone is an excellent selling point, and his strength is arguably the strongest in the entire region, so no one would object to him taking the position of guild leader.

The latter was also on the list and was the founding president of [Suiyuxuan], the predecessor of [Qingshan Zhiguang]. In reality, his prestige was probably slightly higher.

While seemingly successful, being a strong contender for the top spot and also an "alumni," joining the guild would be a win-win situation for both sides.

However, parachuting someone in can easily cause others to have ulterior motives. If you don't demonstrate your value beforehand, you'll likely end up as a figurehead commander with no real power.

Ling Xiao is not a rich, foolish man who would throw money at people at the slightest provocation.

Without hesitation, I generously donated, and it wasn't because I had too much money to burn!

He actually has a "cold" dark side, but he just needs to embellish and disguise it.

Use the copper coins that you don't need for the time being to inject a lot of funds in the early stages of your business when resources are scarce and everyone is going through the toughest time, and boost your reputation!

Logically and emotionally, if I were to express certain ideas or requests in the future, it would be perfectly reasonable for others to take them more seriously...

The three thousand copper coins may seem like a complete loss with no real profit, but people's hearts are the most difficult resource to buy.

Seeing the funds surge, they quickly accumulated more than half of their capital.

The members of 【Qingshan Zhi Guang】were all wailing and praising Ling Xiao so much that they almost turned him into a real sugar daddy!

Most members only knew of this legendary number two big shot, but were not familiar with him.

At most, it's just a matter of luck; someone once managed to snag an iron spear at a bargain price from his shop.

But now, with a wave of his golden hand, [Xiao], the newly arrived vice president, instantly solidified his position in their hearts!

He has already joined forces with [Bayi Cleaver] and [Ye Zhanqing], becoming a veritable trio of giants of [Qingshan's Light]!

Ling Xiao noticed everyone's enthusiastic praise.

It would be hypocritical to say he wasn't pleased, but he quickly adjusted.

[Xiao: "I shouldn't need to worry about the other materials, right?"]

[81 Kitchen Knife: "Of course not! How can we let our God of Wealth personally chop down trees and mine? @Owl, you can rest assured, these materials will be ready in less than a day!"]

[Ye Zhanqing: "Green Mountain Light! Brother Xiao is doing so well, we can't fall behind! If we find there's no danger in the surrounding area after the trial, we should start exploring as soon as possible! We want to be the first guild to open a base!"]

[Old Eight is right: "Let's go! Cheers!"]

[Thresh, you Demacia: "Hooray! Mission accomplished!"]

[When you see a deer in the deep forest: "Boss is awesome! Boss is awesome!"]

……

Having achieved his selfish little goal, Ling Xiao smiled slightly.

The store sells a three-piece set; anyone with a brain can guess what will happen after the trial ends.

Exploration and survival require resources!

Although it's unknown what will happen after losing the protection of a campfire, the price of combustible wood has already quietly increased.

Moreover, many smart people are now taking advantage of the fact that the safe zone is still there and are frantically going out to find resources and accumulate capital.

After experiencing the most helpless and ignorant beginning, most of the explorers who completed the trial mission with trepidation mustered up the courage to step into the gray fog again.

The three types of consumables required for the guild base each require a quantity of 5,000.

It is foreseeable that everyone will need to collect and donate their donations to reach the target as soon as possible.

When averaged out per person, that's three parts of 100 units of resources.

Ling Xiao chose to directly invest, not only to enhance his own reputation, but also because of the "exemption from corvée labor".

With the three top explorers from the entire region gathered together, figuring out how to arrange things was quite a hassle.

Making the three of them toil away collecting these basic resources would be a waste!

But this point hasn't been discussed yet, so Ling Xiao decided to set an example by throwing money around to ensure his freedom of movement in advance.

As the trial drew to a close, guild members huddled around the campfire and refused to venture out.

The entire channel's atmosphere became conservative at this moment.

Everyone knew that when the time came, the ashes of the gods who had protected them would completely disappear.

If the gray fog sweeps in, it could cause the largest casualties since the beginning of the journey.

Being willing to take risks is not the same as being reckless and foolish.

On the eve of a major upheaval, no one dared to gamble their lives on it...

[81 Kitchen Knife: "Brother Xiao, I'm a little nervous!"]

Ling Xiao: "???"

[Xiao: "What are you so nervous about! If you, the top-ranked player, are nervous, half the people in District 61035 will faint from fright."]

Ye Zhanqing: "Add one."

The latest novel is first published here!

Qi Heng stroked his bare chest, teasing his two vice presidents with a relaxed expression.

[81 Kitchen Knife: "Oh, I was just nervous! The trial is over, that's all! But they had to take away the campfire too. How can the game work without a safe zone?"]

Ye Zhanqing: "Speak properly. If you keep acting strange, you might as well transfer this student council president position back to me, so you don't embarrass yourself in public."

[Owl: "Agreed."]

With a chuckle, Qi Heng lightly squeezed his heart, suddenly unsure of what to say.

He exhaled heavily.

He looked down, his gaze complex as he stared at the grotesque, dark blue ball of flesh that flickered with light with each breath.

This is his heart.

To be precise, it is his new "heart".

The terror of the sealed artifact far exceeded Qi Heng's imagination.

Even though he was number one on the list, he still suffered greatly in the face of this bizarre unsealing.

Having exhausted all the materials he had obtained from [Xiao] and [Ye Zhanqing], and with the final preparations, he finally subdued this "heart".

The price is exchanging one's true heart for a "true core," transforming into a bizarre being who controls sealed artifacts with a dying body.

Refusing has even worse consequences.

In order to survive, Qi Heng had no choice but to become the new "host" of the [Blood Demon Imprisoning Dragon Heart].

But... there are still some benefits.

And it's big!

Although if he had to do it again, he would definitely throw that damn thing far, far away...

The enormous heart slowly shrank, and the trembling light spots gradually disappeared into the flesh.

After a long period of integration and transformation, Qi Heng's body was finally able to accommodate and "place" this precious object.

Feeling the exhilaration of his rapidly increasing attributes, he forced a smile and resignedly accepted it.

"Now that things have come to this, I have no regrets! There are no unsolvable problems in the world! With the cooperation of the guild and two top experts, finding a solution in secret will definitely be faster than going it alone..."

"But I can't let them suffer... If I ever feel something's wrong, I'll just go far away by myself! When I'm on the verge of breaking the seal, my strength will definitely be monstrous! Killing more monsters for people will make this trip worthwhile!"

Looking at his chest again, there was nothing unusual.

Qi Heng grinned silently and opened the group chat.

[August 1 Kitchen Knife: "Hey! I have a great idea!"]
