His Childhood Dream Was to Live Off Someone Else
Su Luo piled up a new batch of monster corpses in the courtyard of Han Song's Sanctuary, then knocked on the door.
As soon as the door opened, a precise and gentle breeze enveloped Han Song, lifting him off the ground. The scenery before his eyes swirled rapidly, and the next moment, he found himself in the mobile Laboratory filled with the cold light of metal and the glow of elements.
"Hey boss, how's it going today!"
Han Song's already good mood improved even more after seeing the corpse.
"Hello."
Su Luo stood with her back to him in front of a distorted and ever-changing mass of light and shadow, her Mana surging like Tide, as if she were conducting some kind of experiment.
Without him making any move, the metal wall on the side melted as if it were alive, quickly expanding into a very trendy tea set. Tea flew in from afar and flowed steadily into the tea set.
"Same as usual, 5% reward. Survival Coins will be traded directly to the Mutual Aid Association. The materials I urgently need are ready there; you just need to confirm."
Su Luo spoke calmly, then changed the subject, reminding him:
"Also, there is [Dangerous Terrain] slowly expanding not far in the direction of your Sanctuary. Be careful to avoid it and conduct regular mental self-tests."
"What?!" Han Song almost dropped the teacup he had just picked up; he was completely stunned.
Just then, Su Luo seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped what she was doing, and turned around to look at Han Song.
After a week, this Survivor wasn't very strong to begin with, has already reached 12 points in all three Attributes?
I looked through the rankings and found I was actually in the top fifty in the region.
The speed of progress is quite interesting.
Su Luo glanced at his crotch again.
"How have you been lately? When are you planning to enter the Dungeon?"
Han Song swallowed hard, feeling a chill creeping up his crotch.
It seems the small porcelain bottle was too cold.
He took a sip of tea; it tasted bland, almost indistinguishable from water.
"I've saved up two Free Attribute Points. I'll add them up later, and then learn some green-level job skills. That will give me a much better chance."
The expert's senses remained sharp; his special item had been discovered by the other party without him even realizing it.
What else can we do?
Rather than passively exposing yourself, it's better to be decisive and proactively demonstrate your value.
Han Song looked at Su Luo, and at the same time reached into his crotch...
Then he took out a small porcelain bottle, intending to hand it to Su Luo.
Su Luo: "..."
Damn, it smells! And is that even real hair on there?
What is this thing?
He activated his newly acquired blue Appraisal, but received no feedback; he couldn't even determine whether it was a system-certified item.
"Can't you see the description?"
Han Song was even more surprised than him, and looked down at the panel that was clearly visible in his field of vision:
[Unknown Porcelain Bottle (Special) (Fine)]
[Already bound to: Han Song]
[There seems to be a space inside...]
This was a stroke of luck he had won from the Wishing Well, his own personal Fortuitous Opportunity.
"This bottle has a space inside where you can grow vegetables."
"Space? Growing vegetables?"
Su Luo's Divine Power reached out towards the porcelain bottle like tentacles, but was blocked by an absolutely tough force, unable to even analyze the material of the bottle.
"This item was originally of common quality, but I spent a lot of effort upgrading it to Fine. Now it's my bound item."
"This is no ordinary dish."
"It's a plant-based treasure that can enhance Attributes! It can't be Copy out of thin air; it requires a 'mother plant' as a catalyst, resources, and a period of time to 'nurture' a new daughter plant with the same effect. The only downside is the long cycle; higher-level treasures consume more resources, and there seems to be a hidden success rate limit."
Su Luo examined it again and found that she couldn't see anything at all.
This thing is either ridiculously high in level, or its operating mechanism is completely independent of Su Luo's current understanding system.
Su Luo's expression was complicated.
I'm a top-tier farming cheat!
After carefully inquiring about the types of treasures that can currently be planted, the maximum cultivation scale, the growth cycle, and the resource consumption, Su Luo came to a positive conclusion:
"There's a special Sanctuary for professionals in the World Channel with unique buildings where you can grow treasures, and even some Survivors Talents that can, but... this one item of yours is worth it."
With a thought, a gentle breeze lifted the porcelain bottle, suspending it in mid-air. He summoned a pool of water to wash it, then touched it with his hand, but still found nothing.
Who else knows about this?
"It's just you, sir."
Han Song answered decisively.
His thinking was clear: this treasure was good, but in the Land of Darkness of dangers, there was no time for it to develop and no safety guarantee. If it was accidentally exposed, it would be a death sentence.
Rather than risk being caught with a valuable treasure, it's better to find the strongest backer to cling to.
Su isn't a bad person, that's why he posts so many things.
"You just told me that?" Su Luo asked with a half-smile.
Han Song helplessly spread his hands. "There's nothing I can do, I'm terrified of being poor. My dream since I was a child has been to be able to live a stable life as a kept man... Now that I can cling to your coattails, I'm more than grateful."
Su Luo pondered for a moment:
What are your own thoughts?
"Could you please help me contact Chairman Song? I hope to cooperate with the Mutual Aid Association and officially join it." Han Song was clearly prepared and gave a clear reply.
"Can."
Su Luo nodded, then contacted Song Shige through her Personal Channel, briefly explained the situation, and emphasized the porcelain vase.
"You can try applying to Chairman Song for the professional-grade treasures produced in the [Dangerous Terrain] for planting experiments. I don't have any on hand right now," Su Luo said to Han Song.
Finally, Su Luo accepted the materials from the transaction, then took out three small silver metal swords, each about an inch long, and a blue Skill Book, handing them to Han Song along with a detailed instruction manual.
"It contains three of my combined Spells, which can be activated in times of crisis, making them invincible to non-professionals; as well as a blue- Attribute Skill Book, which you can explore yourself."
Han Song solemnly accepted it, as if holding a lifeline, and carefully put it away.
This statement gave Han Song the feeling of a sect patriarch addressing a genius disciple.
They even bestowed treasures upon them.
"With the District War imminent, we'll devise a detailed training plan for you once we return."
Su Luo gave her final instructions. "Be careful during this time, and try your best not to die."
Han Song: "..."
Is this the best you can do?
After sending Han Song back to the Sanctuary, Su Luo drove the Laboratory back towards the [Dangerous Terrain] not far away.
This was the first time Su Luo had ever seen an item with such exaggerated effects—a treasure that created its own space, had growth potential, and could be nurtured to increase its Attributes...
In a novel, he'd be practically overpowered, and incredibly strong at that.
Since Han Song has taken the initiative to tell everything so frankly, he must have been prepared.
[Song Shige:?]
[Song Shige: Is that so exaggerated?]
[Song Shige: Was that the guy who sold corpses last time? Let me add him as a friend.]
[Su Luo: Ensure his safety first.]
[Song Shige: I have a few professionals here who aren't participating in the District Wars; let them go over there.]
[Su Luo: If I'm not mistaken, the reason they're not participating in the District War is probably because they're not in good spirits, right?]
[Su Luo: What if they've gone completely mad?]
[Song Shige: That's right, I'll have someone prepare a set of escape tools to save my life...]
After ending the communication, Su Luo turned her gaze to the large Mana Pool component in the center of the Laboratory, which was less than one-third complete.
Looking at the time again, Su Luo decisively abandoned the large Mana Pool and prioritized the creation of a small Mana Pool, as well as some miscellaneous components.
