Chapter 433: Chapter 5: Holy Spirit
"Is this the boss of the God Emperor Adventure Group? Not what I imagined, no presence at all."
"Maybe you haven’t seen his charisma in the Derivative World. He’s the leader I most want to follow."
Discussion erupted around them, God Emperor gave a dry cough; luckily, he was wearing full body armor and a helmet.
"Mistaken identity, I’m not the God Emperor you’ve heard about, just the same name, that’s all."
The explanation from God Emperor was so feeble, Xiela’s red lips parted slightly, as if she still wanted to speak.
The eyes under God Emperor’s metal helmet were staring angrily, directly at Xiela.
"Ahem, I’m not trying to talk about your visit to that spa."
Xiela’s offhand comment nearly made God Emperor faint with anger.
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else about that."
God Emperor’s fists clenched tightly, now everyone knew, right?
"Brother of Strong Intent to Kill, you have a lot of good stuff here."
Xiela seemed to forget Su Xiao’s name and casually gave him a new one.
"Ha?"
Su Xiao looked up at Xiela.
"Though I’m not sure why, don’t look at me like that, it’s terrifying. What exactly is your profession, a Mage Hunter?"
"Xiela, shut up. I’ve said before, I’ll handle the negotiations."
"Okay, okay, I’ll keep quiet, but remember to pay me back."
"Got! It!"
God Emperor gritted his teeth, feeling quite helpless with a troublesome sister like this.
"Brother Bai Ye, excuse the interruption, let’s talk business."
God Emperor looked over the four items on Su Xiao’s stand, nodding approvingly at the Original Sin Suit and artificial human bloodline, and his eyes lit up at the sight of the [Magic Spirit Crystal].
"Oh~ Magic Spirit Crystal, Dark Purple Treasure Chest?"
God Emperor recognized it at once, immediately seeing the origins of the [Magic Spirit Crystal].
"Interested?"
"Very interested, how about 25,000 Paradise coins?"
"Purple materials at least 30,000."
Bargaining began, and a few minutes later, God Emperor bought the [Magic Spirit Crystal] for 27,000 Paradise coins. A large adventure group like God Emperor Adventure Group would cultivate forging masters.
The first deal was struck, making the atmosphere noticeably more relaxed with Xiela’s silence.
Cooperating with large adventure groups like the God Emperor Adventure Group is essential, at least to quickly offload the spoils gained in Derivative Worlds.
If you pile up benefits in a Derivative World and can’t sell them due to Contractor’s lack of purchasing power, that’s a problem.
"Brother Bai Ye, let’s talk about these two Original Sin Suits."
Xiela clenched her fists behind God Emperor, having already collected three pieces of the Original Sin Suit. If she added these two, one attribute of the set would activate.
Although the Original Sin Suit is a seven-piece set, you can unlock an attribute with either 3 or 5 pieces.
Set Effect 1: Original Sin (Passive), increases magic damage by 60%.
This is the set effect when all seven pieces are collected; a 60% enhancement in spell power—what does that mean.
"I heard Xiela already has three pieces of the Original Sin Suit, congratulations."
Hearing Su Xiao’s congratulations, God Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Xiela behind him.
"Why are you looking at me? You’re the one who told him?"
"What, I said that?"
God Emperor was somewhat incredulous.
"Last time you two had drinks at ’Dazzling,’ remember? When you bought the Devil fruit."
God Emperor internally regretted; it’s a flaw of his, enjoying drinking and often doing absurd things afterward, like taking over a hundred men to a spa.
No one is perfect; God Emperor leading such a large adventure group already speaks to his capabilities.
"Brother Bai Ye, you won’t rip me off, right?"
"Certainly will."
Su Xiao’s blunt response made Bubu Wang roll his eyes.
At this point, there was no need to hide it; Xiela had three pieces of the Original Sin Suit already, and God Emperor was determined to get these two.
"You’re really straightforward, as always."
God Emperor felt a bit of a headache momentarily.
"Let’s go, we can’t afford these two pieces."
Xiela made as if to leave; she wasn’t trying to bargain but really intended to go. She’s indeed God Emperor’s sister, but she can’t use team funds for personal reasons—the members would be unhappy.
God Emperor understood this too, but he didn’t stand up.
"Two pieces of the suit + artificial human lineage, I’ll exchange them for one piece of equipment."
God Emperor took a deep breath, seeming a little reluctant.
"What equipment? Show me."
Su Xiao’s interest was piqued.
Xiela seemed to remember something and whispered into God Emperor’s ear, "Brother, are you crazy."
God Emperor chuckled lightly and shook his head.
"Doesn’t matter, that lineage is also very important, very suitable for that guy Tandu."
God Emperor untied the Knight Sword from his waist and removed its scabbard.
This was a sword sheath in black and red, which slowly transformed in God Emperor’s hand, turning into a blade sheath.
The attributes of the scabbard were displayed in front of Su Xiao.

...
Su Xiao’s pupils shrank slightly; without a doubt, this was the most powerful equipment he had ever seen.
The benefits include Strength +3, Agility +3, automatic repair of weapon durability, a one-second invincible shield, and recovery of Life and Mana values.
Especially the Mana recovery, restoring 0.5 Mana Points per minute means 30 points per hour, amounting to 720 points in 24 hours, faster than his own recovery rate.
Su Xiao’s Mana recovery speed is 26 points per hour, totaling 624 points in 24 hours.
He has a total of 1,063 Mana points. With this scabbard, it’d only take 19 hours to fully restore Mana depleted to zero.
"Hurry up with the deal before I regret it."
God Emperor’s eyelids drooped, Su Xiao didn’t hesitate, trading the Original Sin Suit and artificial human bloodline for the [Divine Spirit Afterglow].
Bringing Dragon Slash into contact with [Divine Spirit Afterglow], [Divine Spirit Afterglow] immediately changed shape, adapting to the size of Dragon Slash.
Clang.
Dragon Slash made a soft sound as it brushed against the new scabbard, the milky energy within enveloping Dragon Slash, beginning to repair some hard-to-detect damage on the blade.
Having dealt with the four items, even though he didn’t gain much Paradise coin, Su Xiao was very satisfied.
This scabbard seemed custom-made for him; not to mention the recovery of Life and Mana values, the one-second secondary invincible shield was also quite powerful.
