Chapter 608: Chapter 188: Soul Ring
The administrator of He Kou County is quite unusual; even with the strong influence of the Doomsday Cult, he can still maneuver smoothly.
Su Changxing even suspected he might also be a Doomsday Cultist, but the situation didn’t seem like it. If he were, there would be no need to hide.
"He won’t have run away, will he?" Deng Zhibin mumbled softly.
Su Changxing looked at him, "What did you say?"
Deng Zhibin showed an embarrassed smile and chuckled, "I know our administrator very well; he’s as timid as I am. Maybe you scared him, Leader Su, and he might have fled."
"Are you making excuses for him? I believe you’re timid, but would he be?" Su Changxing sternly questioned.
Deng Zhibin waved his hands repeatedly, "Of course not, I’m fully devoted to you; I know the shade of a big tree is comforting."
Su Changxing didn’t continue to question, instead changed the subject, "How about this, give him a message for me. I have something here that can turn someone into an Extraordinary. Ask if he’s interested, seventy thousand points."
"Seven million points?"
Deng Zhibin was first astonished by the huge amount of points, then realized, "Something that can turn someone into an Extraordinary, is it a mysterious item? Is this true?"
Su Changxing nodded calmly, "Of course it’s true; would I deceive you? If you want it, I can sell it to you at the same price, seventy thousand points."
Deng Zhibin blinked; suddenly, his brain froze. Seventy thousand points seemed expensive, but something that can make someone Extraordinary also seemed precious.
Gu Xingrong widened his eyes, "Leader Su, are you serious?"
Su Changxing smiled, "How? Do you want to buy one? You’re not an Extraordinary; you can indeed buy one."
Gu Xingrong was silent for a moment, "I should be able to become Extraordinary soon; I probably don’t need it. I want to buy one for Han Su’s brother."
"Without becoming an Extraordinary, it’s hard to survive in the apocalypse. He’s still young, and becoming an Extraordinary would greatly increase his chance of survival."
Su Changxing thought for a moment, "We haven’t found Han Su; she is likely a Doomsday Cultist. Do you still want her brother to become Extraordinary?"
Gu Xingrong said seriously, "Her brother is not a Doomsday Cultist; I don’t think there’s any necessary connection between the two."
Su Changxing pursed his lips and laughed, "Seems like your relationship is indeed good, what a pity. Do you have that many points?"
"Just enough to buy."
Gu Xingrong felt a twinge of pain as he spoke; this was all the belongings he had accumulated over time.
Su Changxing considered and said, "I can sell you two at half-price. Wear one yourself and give one to her brother, on the condition that you can’t give them to others or tell others."
Can it be like this?
Gu Xingrong raised his eyebrows, then quickly thanked, "Thank you, Leader Su, but can this thing really make someone Extraordinary?"
Su Changxing took out two Ancient Bronze Pendants and handed them over, "Not a hundred percent, but it’s very likely. I would advise you to get rid of that belt."
Gu Xingrong looked down at the black belt around his waist, puzzled, "Why? Is there a problem?"
Su Changxing continued, "This thing is constantly affecting you; it will hinder you from becoming Extraordinary, and even if you do become one, other unexpected things might happen."
[Whisper of Fury: Rank C Crown, Middle Rank, grants the wearer unparalleled power, but such power comes at a cost...]
Gu Xingrong was taken aback as his trump card was exposed. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
Su Changxing glanced at him nonchalantly, "It’s up to you what to do; I’m just giving you a warning."
Gu Xingrong replied solemnly, "Thank you, Leader Su, for the reminder... Is it just worn?"
Su Changxing nodded and smiled, "Yes, but this thing is so valuable that it’s easy to attract covetous eyes. You’d better bring Han Su’s brother to the Security Bureau for a while."
Gu Xingrong was filled with confusion but didn’t show it. Su Changxing taking such special care of him must have a reason.
In this world, there is no love without reason and no hate without reason.
But he couldn’t figure out the reason; it certainly wasn’t because of his strength or aptitude. The Security Bureau had many Extraordinary; they didn’t lack just him.
After Gu Xingrong and the others left, Xu Wenfeng thought for a moment and said, "These people are not trustworthy; the Pathfinder Pendant will likely be exposed."
Su Changxing placed a hand on his shoulder, "This news will eventually get out, so we might as well reveal it ourselves. We need points, and other players have a lot of points."
"Got it, leader."
Xu Wenfeng nodded, still harboring many doubts, but he understood now that some things don’t need to be asked, just done.
Su Changxing produced a shining stone in his hand and handed it to him, "You’ve been busy all day; go rest. Your current strength is still lacking; this should help you improve."
"Is this a Source Stone?"
Xu Wenfeng showed a look of surprise, never having seen such a large Source Stone, usually only the size of a soybean.
Source Stone is an aggregation of Extraordinary Power, which can enhance an Extraordinary’s mysteriousness. Generally, the larger the size, the better the quality.
However, this thing held no use for Su Changxing; in his hands, this Jade Source Stone would slowly degrade.
This Source Stone couldn’t affect him, but he could affect the Source Stone.
Su Changxing said casually, "It was obtained from a Doomsday Cult priest; I have no use for it, so I’m giving it to you."
"Although it can’t help you advance in rank, you still have a lot of room for improvement. Your position is quite different from others, and you need to explore slowly by yourself; being eager to advance might lead you into trouble."
Xu Wenfeng looked up, his face serious, "Leader, didn’t you say we don’t have much time?"
Su Changxing handed him a can of grape juice, "You’re not in a hurry; you have great talent. There’s always someone ahead, and someone behind."
"It’s not always a good thing for an Extraordinary to advance quickly; going too fast can lead to a backlash from power."
Xu Wenfeng took the grape juice, pulled the tab, drank a big mouthful, and said seriously, "I understand, leader."
He didn’t used to like drinking such sour things, but now he found them quite nice. At least, it wasn’t bitter; it was sweet.
...
At this moment, dusk was about to fall, and it was time for the Discount Store to refresh.
o’clock.
Familiar time.
This seemed to be an important time divide.
He still looked forward to the items in the Discount Store; they might not fit, but they’re always good, and the Doomsday Shop felt like panning for gold in the sea.

[Maria’s Soul Ring: Three-folds, 1,200,000 points]
Soul Ring?
Su Changxing pondered that this must be part of some power system.
But can it actually be used?
He recalled that "Concentrating" wasn’t a thing of the Extraordinary but a Divine Power of the Great Power Swordsmen, but he could also use it.
It seems that after passing through the Discount Store, such things have all undergone a conversion, making them usable by the Extraordinary.
So this item, he should be able to use as well.
Should he really use it?
According to the description, this thing would change the form of the soul, and for the Extraordinary, the soul has always been something quite feared.
The body is a reflection of the soul, and also the vessel of the soul, reflecting the appearance of the soul to some extent.
Humans are considered human not just because the body is human, but the soul is also human.
This is also a very vague concept; only when Su Changxing reached Tier Seven did his Spiritual Power increase again, slowly gaining some understanding.
