Chapter 512: Chapter 274: The Great Harvest of Easter Egg Chapter, Star Lord Canis’ Shell_1
The way his female boss handled the situation left Lin Xun disoriented.
Setting up a large enchantment indeed expended a considerable amount of materials, which had a spiritual value of several tens of thousands, but that was still far from the value of a legendary defensive artifact.
He caught Li Xingyue giving him a look, as if to say: you just need to nod and agree to play along.
What else could Lin Xun do but put on a begrudging expression?
He admitted that just as Li Xingyue had said, they had indeed expended a lot warding off the surprise attack, such as the consumable used to unleash a heaven-shattering sword swing, the summoning artifact to call forth the warrior army, and finally the ’legendary-grade’ defensive artifact...
After the difficulty of the hidden Chapter was raised, Lin Xun estimated that it had been bumped up from normal difficulty to nightmare difficulty, and not a solo nightmare dungeon, but a large-scale nightmare Chapter for seven people.
Having been able to successfully clear a multi-player nightmare Chapter and escalate the overall interpretation evaluation to SSS grade, most of the credit indeed lay with Lin Xun.
Shangguan Yu was more than aware of this. If it weren’t for Lin Xun, even without the difficulty increase, it would have been impossible for them to clear the Chapter with an SSS grade evaluation, let alone acquire the legendary artifact ’Crown of the Star Lord’.
The ’Crown of the Star Lord’ alone was worth five ’Linglong Haotian Divine Swords’, not to mention the subsequent individual evaluation rewards.
Logically, Lin Xun deserved to be compensated for some of his losses. It wouldn’t be fair for him to both lead the team to clear the dungeon and bear the cost of consumables, right?
Shangguan Yu didn’t have the nerve to do that, so he stood up on the spot, promising to go to the library later, sell some unused equipment and artifacts, and gather the five hundred thousand spiritual energy to give to Lin Xun.
The rest also nodded in agreement, claiming that such a move was just, and promising to compensate Lin Xun for his losses.
After dividing up the loot, Shangguan Yu again brought up the matter of the celebratory feast.
Lin Xun had no way of refusing this time, and the whole group went to a restaurant, drinking from afternoon till late at night.
Lin Xun also received five hundred thousand spiritual energy each from Shangguan Yu, Yin Linlin and Du Cheng.
As for Li Xingyue, Lu Caiyi, and Wang Zong, Lin Xun, of course, wouldn’t take advantage of his friends.
In reality, apart from the loss of more than four hundred soldiers by the Crimson Army, and the materials used to set up the large enchantment, he had suffered no other losses.
The ’Judgement of Thunder’ skill he bought for the Valkyrie was not a consumable, and the Valkyrie was in need of an AoE skill. So it’s fair to say it was an incidental purchase.
Lu Caiyi and Wang Zong both insisted on providing spiritual energy, and after much resistance, Lin Xun symbolically received one hundred thousand in spiritual energy from each of them as entry fee.
The contribution of spiritual energy from just these five people came up to one million seven hundred thousand. As for the five hundred thousand from his female boss, he naturally returned exactly that amount to her.
The money of the common folk goes three for them, seven for him. The money of the nobles is returned exactly as received is the unspoken rule.
Lin Xun quietly returned the five hundred thousand spiritual energy to Li Xingyue. However, the female boss only took in four hundred thousand stating that the entrance fee still needed to be paid.
However, in the end, all the spiritual energy that he earned still ended up in the pocket of the seductive woman wearing black silk.
The huge debt of two million spiritual energy was only reduced to two hundred thousand. Lin Xun simply dug into his pocket to pay it off at once.
"Did you forget? You won against Lv Yiming last time and had the twenty thousand bet paid to me."
With a reminder from Li Xingyue, he recalled about it. Coupled with the two hundred thousand contributed by the young scholar, he was able to offset his debt.
Lin Xun couldn’t help but marvel at the hidden Chapter. The spiritual energy he’d harvested was enough to pay off the two million in debt, not to mention the astonishingly valuable four reward artifacts.
The others were curious about his decision to withhold his personal evaluation and kept badgering him until Lin Xun had to truthfully answer them.
Even Du Cheng and Lu Caiyi had received S grade evaluations. If he mentioned a lower grade evaluation, it would be obvious that he was hiding it.
In the standard Chapters, whether it was official or civilian apostles, they all had to report their interpretation evaluations after clearing a Chapter.
Because if they achieved S grade or higher, there was a certain chance of obtaining the highly destructive ’source of Doomsday’.
Officials were a little more lenient towards official apostles, but they were much stricter when it came to civilian apostles.
Officials would assess each civilian apostle’s credit rating, and apostles with low ratings would regularly be supervised.
Some official apostles in the supervisory group had the unique ability to see the game text on other people’s phones for supervision.
If a civilian apostle was found hiding their personal evaluation or not reporting when they obtained the ’source of Doomsday’, they would face severe punishment.
Whenever an apostle, whether civilian or official, received the ’source of Doomsday’, it must be solidified into a Sacred Object under the supervision of the supervisory group.
However, most of the civilian apostles found it hard to achieve an S grade evaluation and remained oblivious to the existence of the ’source of Doomsday’.
This was to prevent the New World from acquiring the ’source of Doomsday’ from civilian apostles, which could cause damage to the real world.
Lin Xun did not want the supervisory group to see his game text, and after the two successful dungeon runs, he casually reported his evaluation to his female boss.
Li Xingyue was fully aware of this and did not intend to delve into it. She doted on Lin Xun, who was a strong asset to her.
After all, considering Lin Xun’s talent and growth rate, he would sooner or later enter the real core of the organization, be absorbed by the Apostles Council as a council member or senior council member. If he was bold enough, he might even become a director or honorary chairman...
Since the invasion of the surprise Chapter by the Heavenly Demon did not involve the ’source of Doomsday’, Lin Xun saw no need to hide it from his fellows.
