The waiter knocked on the door because Su Bai had locked it as the two senior monks were giving their blessings, and it could be considered a rigorous and serious matter which naturally could not be disrupted.
Su Bai opened the door. The waiter was grumbling a little on why they locked the door and then passed the menu to Su Bai. Su Bai took a quick glance at the menu, pointed at a few dishes and handed it back to the waiter.
“Do you need alcohol?”
“Just some beverages will do.”
“Okay.”
The waiter left and Su Bai sat back in his seat. The little fella was still rubbing his little belly and felt wronged because he couldn’t rub the imprint away. It could be said that his expression would cause internal injury to the monk and Gyatso who were on the verge of collapsing, sitting opposite to them.
The dishes were not quickly served as there were quite a number of guests. Luckily, there was still the singing performance outside which eased the boredom.
At this moment, Su Bai’s phone rang. It was a call from Shanghai, an unknown number.
Su Bai answered.
“Hello, it is elder brother Xiao Bai?”
Su Bai furrowed his eyebrows; he was trying to recall his relationship with the owner of the voice. To address him as elder brother Xiao Bai should be one of the younger ladies of his generation in the family. Of course, after his parent’s accident, Su Bai had gradually distanced himself from the relatives of both his father and mother’s side. Even they did not intend to keep a close relationship with Su Bai, except for his little aunt.
En. Little aunt?
Su Bai suddenly recalled whose voice was it. It was his little aunt’s daughter’s; she could be considered his cousin sister.
“Oh, it’s you, Xiao Yu. What’s up?”
“Elder brother Xiao Bai, where are you right now?”
“I’m over here at Jiuzhaigou.”
“Humph! I want to go too. Bring me there next time, okay?”
“Okay.” Su Bai tapped the table with his finger.
“Then I’ll bring an additional person. Elder brother Xiao Bai, I’m getting engaged.”
Su Bai was surprised. If he recalled correctly, his cousin sister should be only twenty years old or younger. She should have just reached the age of adulthood[1] not too long ago and was already getting engaged. That was really quick, but it was normal for most of the females from these types of family to have their marriage arranged at a very young age. As for the marriage law, even normal families could shove money or pull strings to get the marriage certificate, not even considering families of this level.
“Really, congratulations.”
“En, I want to invite you to my engagement ceremony. I told my mom to invite you, but my mom was not willing to call you, that’s why I called. Elder brother Xiao Bai, you would attend, wouldn’t you?”
Su Bai understood his little aunt’s kind intentions. She wasn’t willing to call him because she was clear that he was not willing to have too much interaction with both sides of the family. There would definitely be many friends and family who would attend his cousin sister’s engagement ceremony.
Luckily, Su Bai had already experienced many story worlds and was not so obsessed at the moment. Even though deep down in his heart, he was still not willing to interact with the so-called relatives, but since his little aunt treated him well and it was her daughter’s engagement, he chose to attend.
“Send me the date, and I’ll be there.”
“En, alright. Elder brother Xiao Bai is the best.”
His cousin sister ended the call and Su Bai placed his phone on the table. He suddenly remembered that he hadn’t checked the story points he gained from the story world. He had neglected every other thing with the appearance of the little fella. For Su Bai, bringing the little fella back from the story world was already a huge gain. Even until now, Su Bai was still unclear why the little fella and the black fox could be brought out from the story world. The dagger Excorciser was stabbed on his thigh and was transported along with him which was reasonable. But the little fella crawled on his own into the demon cave.
Su Bai held his phone, and indeed, the public account “kongbu66” in WeChat had sent quite a few notifications. One of the notices was Dreadful Radio would be on a three-month hiatus to consolidate, which surprised Su Bai and, at the same time, gave him sense of relief. Just like students facing the winter break.
Following that, Su Bai pressed on the story point allotment column. In that column, he contributed to eighty five percent for main task 1 and gained two hundred story point as a prize. In main task 2, he contributed a surprising twenty percent and gained a little less that a hundred story points. Adding both up, it was almost three hundred story points. Together with eight hundred story points which he had saved, he now had one thousand one hundred story points.
Su Bai smiled. The Hellfire Shotgun could be exchanged.
“What are you so happy about?” The monk asked. He misunderstood Su Bai because Su Bai said congratulations in his previous call and thought there was a happy occasion.
Su Bai nodded his head, entered the e-shop in the public group and tapped on the [Hellfire Shotgun, confirm exchange].
A thousand story points were deducted from Su Bai’s account. Su Bai felt it was like letting it all out after tens of years of hardship; luckily, it was all worth it. His vampire lineage offensive ability was too weak. As for the offensive and defensive capabilities of his zombie lineage, it was considered alright, but there were too many limitations and it was being shackled and suppressed in many areas.
For example, that female Qi Master had only used a single paper amulet to put his zombie lineage into a paralyzed state. Taoist, monks, the western light-type sorcerers or even wizards and many more could restrain the zombie lineage. There were times in the story world when the appearance of the zombie lineage was too exaggerated and unsuitable.
Two shotguns appeared in front of Su Bai, quietly placed on the table. Su Bai was surprised:
“Two?”
Two in a set for one thousand story points. That was a pleasant surprise.
The two shotguns didn’t look too gaudy, but they had a reserved aura which clearly stated that they were not ordinary. Su Bai stretched his hand and picked up both shotguns. They were not heavy, and in fact very light, but Su Bai was well aware of the solid and durable feeling.
Su Bai subconsciously pointed the gun down and hit hard on the marble rack beside him.
“BANG!”
The marble had a huge opening.
This was not the destructive force of the ammunition but from the gun as a blunt weapon.
Gyatso was not so surprised when he first saw the two shotguns, but when Su Bai smashed the marble with the gun, he squinted his eyes and took out his phone. When he saw the exchange rate of the shotgun in the e-shop, he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. He handed his phone to the monk. After the monk finished viewing, he had almost the same reaction as Gyatso.
A weapon worth a thousand story points, so luxurious.
Gyatso said in surprise, “You actually had so many story points? Even those audiences who have ten completed tasks might not have such a good weapon as yours.”
Indeed, it was not easy for audiences to gain story points. Once they saved enough, they would immediately exchange to strengthen the lineage or skills and even purchase assisting equipment. It was not enough to spend. A thousand story points was hard to save and to exchange for a weapon; it was really too luxurious.
“I have other place to spend it on.” Su Bai explained vaguely and then pushed opened the window and pulled the trigger.
No response?
The singing sounds outside were loud and Su Bai’s box was positioned near a window. That’s why he would be so unbridled to test his gun. But when he pulled the trigger and there wasn’t any reaction, Su Bai was stunned.
Could it be a spiritual attribute offensive weapon? That’s why there was no physical effect?
Gyatso was waiting for the sound of the gun, but it never came. He suddenly realized something and said:
“You did not exchange any ammunition?”
“Ammunition?” Su Bai was a little astounded. Right, ammunition.
He took out his phone. Indeed, behind the column of the Hellfire Shotgun was the exchange for ammunition and the price… fifty story points for eight bullets.
F*ck! So expensive!
In a story world, If Su Bai’s luck was good and had high contribution rate, he could get two or three hundred story points. Under normal circumstances, it would only be lower which meant that if he were to “Bang! Bang! Bang!” a few extra shots, his story points gained from the story world would be blasted to smithereens.
At first, Su Bai was imagining himself holding the two guns and the scene of a single person facing a group of vampires. But at this moment, this scene was a little unrealistic. His own bullets couldn’t hold on such a major scene.
The monk and Gyatso glanced at each other and tapped on their phones. A box of bullets wrapped in golden foil appeared in front of both of them. Gyatso pushed the two boxes toward Su Bai. Obviously, this was a gift.
Su Bai used the balance of his story points and exchanged two boxes of ammunition. Four boxes of ammunition, thirty-two bullets.
Su Bai opened the clip and filled in the bullets. A full cartridge contained eight bullets. Which meant that with Su Bai’s asset added up with the friendly sponsorship from the monk and Gyatso, he could only piquantly fire four clips, and then the two guns could only be used as blunt weapon.
“Not going to try it out?” Gyatso asked.
Su Bai shook his head. “Can’t afford to. Wait until we encounter a small bandit then we’ll try. Shooting at nothing is like shooting story points, it’s a little pain in the a**.”
The monk chanted Amitabha and said, “Amitabha, it’s actually no problem. Story points can’t be of any help to your lineage. Besides, the benefits you gained in the story world outnumber the e-shop.”
“Looks like you really know how to console people.” Su Bai nodded his head, kept the two guns and hung them on his waist. Looks like he needed to wear a jacket in the future.
“Of course, taking these types of weapons to complete missions is really heartbreaking. If killing a boss will get you a hundred story points, instead of firing a few extra shots, it’s better not to kill him…”
“…” Su Bai
