Chapter 60 - Planning Mandarins Floating Cannon!

Xu Shu thought a lot in his mind, going back and forth, still entangled, unable to make a choice.

Difficult!

Difficult!

Difficult!

Despite all the talk, it still came down to a matter of strength!

Without enough strength, one couldn’t be ruthless enough.

Without ruthlessness, one couldn’t stand firm.

Strength, I need more strength!

“That erosion crystal from the alluring flower puppet, I must get it, even that person who later ambushed and tried to kill me, I must find a way to get her erosion crystal!”

“Considering the pros and cons, to be safe, at least Second Rank…

no, Third Rank!

Only at least Third Rank is feasible.

“From what I read on the forums, First Rank might seem formidable to ordinary people, but in the realm of the Transcendents, it’s just a beginner level.

“Second Rank is just a decent mid-level force, it appears that those at Second Rank have a lot of freedom, but that seems to be the extent of it.

“Only at Third Rank does one begin to have a say, gain a respectable position, and can be largely unshackled!”

Xu Shu clenched his fists.

After making his decision, he determinedly spread out the Tai Chu Scroll and pressed down hard, stepping once again into the journey amongst billowing mists—

[Great!

You’ve decided to tackle that assassin who tried to kill you head-on, after a short rest, you properly cooked a few dishes this time and took them over to enjoy breakfast with Gu Pan.]

[But she seemed not to have arrived yet, the spot where you had caught her last time was empty.

Considering that during your last journey, you had arrived here around 4:30 pm, you decided:]

[“Thank you, kind sir, I’m stuck, can you pull me…

eh?

Eh?

Why are you pulling my skirt, handsome?

Hey hey that’s my underwear, not that!~”]

[Heavenly Defiance.

It seems you’re done acting, knowing well that mission mode only foresees the future, providing a fully realistic experience but still not the reality, so you increasingly disregard restrictions, treating this merely as a dream of your own making, going entirely your own way.]

Ha, dare to mock me?

Faced with those critical words, Xu Shu remained unmoved, not even blushing.

He even felt a bit excited upon seeing the words “Heavenly Defiance.”

This was a keyword that could enhance the level of the final reward!

Thinking about it, from gradually becoming a bit twisted to now this thirsty state, who could he blame?

It was all thanks to the Tai Chu Scroll!

If it weren’t for the yellowish rubbish in that Tai Chu Scroll messing things up, completing the journey normally wouldn’t fetch rewards that could enhance the evaluation level.

I’m so perverse, all forced by the Tai Chu Scroll!

That was what Xu Shu was thinking at the moment.

“But, seems like I wrote the Tai Chu Scroll as just a little game, huh…”

“So, being this twisted, did I force myself into it?”

Xu Shu shook his head.

[You don’t feel ashamed at all, you even enjoy it, feeling super, exhilarating!

Cool!]

[Having mastered the Ultimate Skill Jingwei Filling the Sea, you had high defensive power, not really scared of this little thing’s sneak attacks, you quickened your pace to take down the flower puppet, twisting its neck…

just at that moment, you saw the little fist stone’s turbo concave slot, like a breathing pulse, continuously collapsing inward, gathering a blue spherical flame.]

[“Wait, fuck, I got it!

You’re that damn Float—”]

Fugitive Mandarins (Fine) to Fugitive Mandarins (Excellent)

[Mandarins Chant: In this bond, the weaker party will temporarily gain some strength enhancement from the stronger one, equalizing their powers, up to 100%;
