What Are a God's Ashes Good For? Waiting Online...
The news that the Fourth Alchemy Heart had its assets frozen due to repeated violations during the organization of events caused a stir in Lost Paradise.
Key personnel were investigated, and most alchemists resigned and were reassigned to other Alchemy Heart — the Daily Council's swift and decisive actions were astonishing.
Xu Nan, however, sensed a conspiracy.
Could they be using the pretext of freezing, dissolving, or restructuring assets to steal my points?
He went to Lost Paradise specifically to see the Daily Council's statement on the matter, still feeling uneasy.
Upon closer inspection, he became even more convinced that the Daily Council was employing a strategy of feigned retreat to advance!
The goal is to target Xu Nan's substantial points-based assets!
According to the Daily Council statements, investigations into key personnel usually take as long as six months. By then, it's too late!
Where are my points?
However, Xu Nan was soon taken aback.
Regarding the Activity Points, the Lost Paradise headquarters promised to compensate the participants one-to-one with Constant Gold Coin.
Xu Nan's 300,000+ points instantly turned into 300,000 Constant Gold Coin.
This gave him a sense of unreality.
"... This Daily Council seems to be trying to curry favor with me..."
"I wrote several articles to report the Fourth Alchemy Heart, but he reported me and I'm out of the game?"
"Is Ron Sorcerer really this democratic? That's unbelievable!"
Xu Nan was puzzled.
He also felt a little regretful.
They shouldn't have attacked the Fourth Alchemy Heart so harshly!
When you're exploiting others, you always emphasize sustainable development strategies. How come you're so ruthless when it comes to the ones who actually lay the golden eggs? This isn't like you at all!
This is terrible! It has frozen the Fourth Alchemy Heart. Although 300,000 Constant Gold Coin is not bad, where can one get a steady stream of income to feel at ease?
Xu Nan felt somewhat melancholy.
He suddenly felt guilty.
So he went to the office of the Daily Council and said that he had not actually suffered much loss and hoped that the Daily Council could reduce the punishment for the key staff of the Fourth Alchemy Heart.
"Mr. Xu Nan is truly a gentleman who repays evil with kindness!"
The receptionist couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Xu Nan waved his hand modestly.
"I'll inform the Council Speaker for you, and you can speak with him in person later."
The receptionist was very welcoming.
At this moment, Xu Nan suddenly received a new notification from the Daily Council—
[Given that the Fourth Alchemy Heart has been frozen, the monthly tasks will now be handled by the Thirteenth Alchemy Heart. Fellow players, please don't be alarmed; the relevant tasks will be released soon...]
Xu Nan looked at this and left without looking back.
The girl at the front desk looked completely bewildered.
Well, with the arrival of another hen that lays golden eggs, Xu Nan was no longer worried.
My conscience doesn't hurt anymore.
The night at the backup base was a long one.
Most people slept well.
For Xu Nan, the harvest consisted of over twenty sacks full of Green-Skinned Lobster, plus 300,000 Constant Gold Coin.
He has no expectations for the new monthly event released by Thirteenth Alchemy Heart!
Since the number of daily tasks was limited by the system, Xu Nan has been relying on these points to make a living!
"Although there were some unexpected events in this practical lesson, it was still quite successful overall. I did lead the team out of the predicament, and although I wasn't as rebellious as Zheng Xie, getting a good grade shouldn't be a problem!"
"It shouldn't embarrass Wu Sanpao."
"The scrolls they gave us were of no use either."
Xu Nan is actually a good person. What kind of power is sealed in the scroll that Wu Sanpao gave him?
Unfortunately, he wasn't forced into a corner at all. The monsters and Cultists here were no match for him, a player who only spends money on in-game purchases!
So, Constant Gold Coin is really a great thing!
The thought that the Thousand Rays Society's rescue team would arrive around noon and that she could comfortably take a car home made Xu Nan feel happy.
However, earlier in the day, things seemed to have taken a slight turn for the worse.
"Where is the convoy?"
"Where is the honor guard celebrating our triumphant return?"
Where are the rescue teams?
Xu Nan stood in front of the alloy gate monitoring room of the backup base, unable to help but roll his eyes wildly.
The convoy promised by headquarters didn't arrive, but a group of uninvited guests showed up at the door!
According to the trainees' reconnaissance, a large number of Fallen Zombies appeared near the base overnight!
The number of these fallen zombies exceeded ten thousand, blocking the main gate of the backup base. If viewed from above, the mountains and fields were covered with zombies!
If the backup base hadn't been built inside the mountain, with each exit constructed of alloy doors, they might have already had their heads snatched by the zombies during the night raid!
Meanwhile, Senior Jiang quietly started scattering beans.
For her, playing another tower defense game wouldn't be a problem, since she seems to have an endless supply of peas anyway.
The trainees were very uneasy.
Lin Hao frowned. "I could contact headquarters last night, that's strange, the communicator just stopped working again."
"We have a feeling that we're being targeted."
"The barrier has indeed been broken. What are these Cultists struggling for in their death throes?"
Xu Nan's heart skipped a beat.
He waved his hand. "Bring He Xi to me."
Soon, the Salted Fish Three Brothers, carrying He Xi whose head had been flattened like a pig's, squeezed through the crowd.
The Salted Fish Three Brothers, were also very dedicated. Xu Nan was worried about entrusting He Xi to others, so he asked the three brothers to keep an eye on her.
Xu Nan hated traitors the most. This guy was not only a traitor but also a human traitor, a human traitor with a hole in his brain who went to believe in evil gods. So, at Xu Nan's suggestion, the three brothers spent the whole night using Xu Nan's three big books to wake him up.
When he was brought here, he was completely disoriented.
"Did you secretly tip off people about the situation outside?"
Xu Nan's eyes were unfriendly; these fallen zombies were blocking his bus home, so of course he was unhappy.
How many Molotov cocktails or Mana Berserk Potion would it take to wipe out 10,000 Fallen Zombies?
Xu Nan felt bad about spending the money.
"I didn't, I didn't, I resolutely obey... the leadership..."
He Xi was probably knocked unconscious and hadn't quite figured out what was going on. It took her a long time to regain her mental clarity.
"With so many fallen zombies, there's only one possibility."
He Xi said with difficulty, "The Blade Warrior and the Gospel Propagator have both come in person; they have come for the Saint's Remains!"
Everyone was completely bewildered. Except for a few people, no one knew what the Saint's Remains were.
Xu Nan frowned and said, "The Saint's Remains? Could they be in this mountain? Are we that unlucky?"
He Xi blinked and fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.
Xu Nan suddenly had an idea. She greeted everyone and ran back to her room alone.
Although Yu Simiao and the others found it strange, Xu Nan had done quite a few strange things before.
With the zombie army about to attack the city, everyone must brace themselves and prepare for battle.
Inside the room.
Xu Nan took out the Ash Box and looked at it from left to right.
After a while, as if remembering something, he took out a clay pot from his storage equipment.
Xu Nan obtained this clay pot from the altar of the old man who had tried to take him in as a flute-playing boy.
Sure enough, the clay pot was so hot that you could fry an egg in it.
Xu Nan was puzzled:
"Could these ashes be the Saint's Remains?"
"The body of Tiamat, damn it, was cremated by accident?"
Xu Nan thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible!
The information he received from MI7 was that this group of Cultists had entered the Riverbend bend in large numbers in search of the Saint's Remains named Tiamat.
The so-called Saint's Remains are actually the corpses of saints. Gods are too powerful to easily enter many worlds, so they may condense avatars to descend to the mortal realm; more often, they take on the form of saints, occupying places in the mortal realm that they can adapt to, and thus carry out certain activities in the mortal realm.
After the saint's form left, that body transformed into a sentient corpse, also known as the "Saint's Remains".
The evil god Tiamat is no exception. It is estimated that he came to Earth before, but for some reason, he did not take the corpse with him. As a result, it somehow ended up in the treasure chest.
The worst part is that he was cremated!
Xu Nan actually wanted to find those Blade Warriors and Gospel Propagator directly and give them the Ash Box!
But the question is, do they believe it?
"Hey buddy, your boss's cremated. You guys keep these ashes, we're all going our separate ways..."
Such a script is clearly unrealistic.
Moreover, even if only ashes remain of Saint's Remains, they should still have value, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Nan immediately opened Lost Paradise.
Because of the Fourth Alchemy Heart's repeated violations, the Daily Council compensated Xu Nan again, and he activated the forum function of Lost Paradise ahead of schedule!
This is my first time posting, I'm quite nervous.
Xu Nan found the miscellaneous discussion section and posted a thread—
What is the use of the ashes of gods and saints? I need an answer urgently...
Soon, a curse sorcerer replied:
[It can be used as a medium for curses, causing him to instantly lose his hair or suddenly become impotent!]
...!
