I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 328-1: Legendary Divinity, Origin of the Wet Nurse (1)

By the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, in a secluded manor villa.

Lin Xun sent off the last group of temporary proxy agents, finally bringing the herding work to an end.

Because the interval since the last round of harvesting leeks was too short, the total income from this offering ritual was nearly ten million. After handing over one third to Vishnu, there were still six million left.

According to what Amos had said, if a Disciple held the offering ritual once per quarter, the Spirit Essence obtained could reach a terrifying amount of twenty to thirty million.

And that was just for the lowest-ranked Disciples who had fewer pastures.

Those ranked toward the top had more pastures after going through the Disciple wars. The income from a single round of herding was practically an astronomical figure.

So much Spirit Essence was enough to arm a Disciple to the teeth and even to use Spirit Essence to cultivate more trusted subordinates to participate together in the later Disciple wars.

If they could win the war and thereby expand their pasture, they would enter a virtuous cycle in which their strength would only grow.

“After a few rounds of this bloodsucking, even the weakest apostle would be able to possess extremely terrifying combat strength, let alone the Disciples who are one in ten thousand to begin with.”

“Eliminating the New World organization really is no easy task.”The New World organization was immensely powerful, with a vast number of apostles under its command who had been brainwashed. Among them were plenty of big shots who already held certain levels of power and wealth in reality.

The manor villa where Lin Xun now lived was one of the New World’s hidden properties.

The manor villa covered an enormous area, with garden, swimming pool, underground wine cellar, gym, private cinema and so on, everything complete. Just the maids’ quarters were larger than the living room in a normal household.

He had even seen a small orchard. It was not the slightest exaggeration to describe this manor villa as a modern palace.

And this manor villa was merely a small act of devotion that one of the leeks under him had offered to the organization.

In the courtyard garden, the last batch of proxy agents had already left.

Aside from Lin Xun, there was also a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who looked refined and scholarly.

The apostle whose alias was Arsonist was one of the official organization’s undercover agents and also the assistant Li Long had assigned to Lin Xun.

Cao Chi had been undercover in the New World for several years already, but had always been at the bottom level and had not even managed to get into the Disciple Sanctum.

Now that Lin Xun had become a Disciple, he had finally brought this frustrated undercover agent into the Disciple Sanctum. By letting Spirit Essence go in the left hand and out the right during the offering ritual, he had made it completely legitimate for Cao Chi to become a proxy agent.

The other two official undercover agents had been promoted just as smoothly.

Such a move would not arouse suspicion. After a promotion to Disciple, bringing one’s original trusted subordinates up along with oneself was the most normal thing in the world.

Amos had also carried out such under-the-table operations in order to help Lin Xun rise to power.

“The work here is done. Head back to Xi City first and manage that pasture for me.”

“Yes, Lord Cain!”

Arsonist Cao Chi answered and turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, the spacious manor was left with only Lin Xun.

The butler, maids, gardeners and other miscellaneous staff all stayed in the outer parts of the manor. They could only enter the inner manor during times he specified in order to carry out daily maintenance and cleaning.

A head secretly popped out from a corner of the garden. The blonde girl put away the Refined Copper double wings on her back, lifted her skirt slightly and came up behind Lin Xun to knead his shoulders and help him relax.

Before long, the shikigami Snow Woman came over carrying washed and cut fruit, feeding him piece by piece.

“Where are Nurarihyon and the Nine-Tailed Fox?”

Lin Xun asked a bit indistinctly.

“Reporting to Dragonborn Lord, Lord Nurarihyon is in the game room.”

“Lord Nine-Tails said she was missing the hot springs in Sakura Falls. And as it happens, there is one in this residence…”

Lin Xun swallowed the juicy peach in one gulp and stood up decisively. “Come on, let’s go to the hot springs too!”

—

After relaxing his exhausted body, Lin Xun called his new superior Li Long.

As for the Spirit Essence gained from the offerings, that counted as a kind of gray income during his undercover work, but just like during his time in the Intelligence Division, the official organization did not strictly require undercover personnel to turn in the extra gains from their infiltration.

For Lin Xun, who had already become the Twelfth Disciple, Li Long did not even bring the matter up.

The reason Lin Xun was contacting his new superior was, of course, not to foolishly hand over his offerings, but to use the Spirit Essence obtained from the ritual to exchange for resources through the organization.

At present, he was in sixth difficulty. The trade pages in the library did not show items that dropped from above that difficulty. The top-tier equipment and weapons in the trade channels were all Legendary-grade at most.

Through organizational channels, it might be possible to get equipment above Legendary grade, but mythic equipment had equipping restrictions. Even if he got it, it would not improve his current strength.

Furthermore, several of his main Shells already had suitable weapons. For someone like him who possessed a healer Shell, the returns from forging exclusive armor were not the optimal choice.

Lin Xun was very clear that his foundation was his soul talent, Thousand Faces, Ten Thousand Forms.

Money had to be spent where it mattered. Rather than forging weapons and armor, it was better to further enhance his soul talent to increase Compatibility.

Once the soul talent level was high enough, it would not be too late to forge exclusive armor.

“Legendary-grade Divine item… Didn’t Xingyue just give you one?”

“Uncle Li, who would ever complain about having a higher soul talent level?” His new superior treated him rather kindly, like a junior, so Lin Xun naturally climbed along the pole and started calling him Uncle Li directly.

Lin Xun had once bought a weapon for Valkyrie, planning to use Divine items in exchange for Spirit Essence, but his female superior had stopped him.

At that time, the three Epic-grade Divine items had all been handed to her for safekeeping so she could gather enough to exchange for a Legendary-grade Divine item.

Before she left, his female superior had returned the Divine items to him. Adding the Divine items he had newly gained in the evil god chapter and in this chapter, he could now gather five Epic-grade Divine items.

To get a Legendary divine item, he still lacked four Epic-grade Divine items, and Lin Xun planned to use Spirit Essence to fill in the gap.

However, Li Long told him that things were not so simple.

Epic-grade Divinity could be exchanged for with Spirit Essence or resources, because Divine items that did not share the same name could not be fused.

Some official apostles already had soul talents at +3 and had to use Legendary Divinity to upgrade them.

Precisely because lower-grade Divinity could not be fused into higher-grade Divinity, those apostles would use their surplus Epic-grade Divine items to exchange with the organization for other resources. Otherwise, most people would choose to go on saving Divine items to upgrade their soul talent.

Only apostles whose soul talent was above +6 would have surplus Legendary Divinity to exchange for resources.

And apostles with soul talents that high were already big-shot figures within the organization, and their numbers were very small, which made the circulation of Legendary-grade Divinity extremely scarce.

Therefore, obtaining a Legendary divine item was very difficult and could not be measured by Spirit Essence alone.

Generally speaking, the number of Legendary Divinity that flowed out from the official organization in a year would not exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

When those big shots obtained surplus Legendary Divinity, they usually granted it to people close to them.

The last Legendary-grade Divine item Li Xingyue had given him had been obtained by Li Long in a chapter. It was originally meant for his own niece to use to strengthen herself. Unexpectedly, it had ended up going to Lin Xun instead.

“First hand over those Epic-grade Divine items and all the Spirit Essence you obtained from the offerings. If those people in the Council gain surplus Legendary Divinity, I will help you fight for it.”

“Of course, if I get Legendary Divinity later, I will give it to you first.”

“Thank you, Uncle Li!”

After hanging up the call, Lin Xun could not help but let out a deep sigh.

He had originally thought that the value of a Legendary divine item was equivalent to nine Epic-grade Divine items and had felt that when he exchanged for a Legendary divine item last time, his female superior would not suffer a loss.

Now he realized that the value of a Legendary divine item was far more than that, and that that Legendary divine item had been one she was going to use herself. He owed Li Xingyue a great deal.

“In the previous chapter, Chaotic Origin Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Enma were both caught up in their own troubles. If the two main gods had been in good condition, I might have had the chance to obtain a Legendary divine item.”

“I wonder if in this chapter I can obtain one here from Primordial Firefly…”

Lin Xun had been busy for several days in a row, arranging all the pastures in Jiangnan Province.

Now, he finally had the free time to continue playing the game.
