CHAPTER 219: CHAPTER 204 NOT FOR FREE_2

Xiao Wan was originally not interested in this kind of thing, but seeing how Yun Qingshang performed excellently, she still accompanied Gao Xuan on a round.

With Xiao Wan accompanying him, it indeed saved a lot of trouble. Even if others didn’t recognize Xiao Wan, they recognized her advanced permissions.

Gao Xuan smoothly spent one hundred and eighty million to buy the top two floors of a commercial residential building.

This price is actually quite high, but Gao Xuan didn’t care, after all, he had over eight billion.

The decorated rooms were managed by household robots, allowing immediate move-in after the handover.

After finishing all this, the sky slowly darkened. The sunset mimicked by the Light Computer cast beautiful rosy red hues.

The various shaped high-rise buildings were draped with a layer of gorgeous red veil. This exceptionally clean and beautiful modern city also gained some ethereal charm.

Xiao Wan stood on the rooftop, gazing into the distance, and felt her mind broaden.

Have to admit, the feeling of looking from a height is quite good indeed.

Gao Xuan was by the grill, barbecuing meat, with the smoke from the coals and the aroma of meat wafting in the evening breeze, full of a leisurely life flavor.

"Sister Wan, have a skewer of top-grade beef, taste my skills."

Gao Xuan eagerly handed the skewer to Xiao Wan, extremely enthusiastic.

Xiao Wan hesitated for a moment but still took the skewer. She generally wouldn’t eat outside food, much less eat with others.

Gao Xuan was different, he showcased extremely important value today. She needed to win over Gao Xuan, perhaps even befriend him.

The beef skewer had a lot of fat, slightly charred on the outside, with the fat melted into the meat, the inside still maintained a tender texture with enough fat and oil. Paired with chili and cumin, it was full of meaty aroma.

The innate human gene craving for fat, was instantly greatly satisfied through the taste buds. Xiao Wan even felt a faint sense of happiness.

"How does it taste?" Gao Xuan asked.

"It reminds me of the lively scene of the whole family eating barbecue together when I was a child."

Xiao Wan said with some emotion: "That evening breeze was just as cool, the sunset just as beautiful..."

"Then let’s have a bottle of ice-cold beer."

Xiao Wan was still caught up in her lyrical reminiscence when a large cold bottle of beer was shoved into her hand.

Gao Xuan clinked his bottle with Xiao Wan’s, took a big bite of the skewer, and guzzled a large swallow of beer, "爽" (satisfying).

Seeing Xiao Wan not drinking, Gao Xuan was somewhat puzzled: "Cold beer cuts the grease, why aren’t you drinking it. By the way, what were you saying just now?"

"I didn’t say anything."

Xiao Wan had been somewhat touched, but Gao Xuan’s bottle of beer ruined it all.

She passed an electronic confidential document to Gao Xuan with a cold face: "Here is the data on several mystical objects, see which one suits you to use."

The electronic document was reorganized by her from memory for Gao Xuan’s convenient selection.

Gao Xuan opened the electronic document, which not only had text but also brief images.

"Self-playing Jade Flute, hypnotic pocket watch, Referee’s Copper Whistle, Storm Bronze Mask, Ghost Tiger-shaped Puppet..."

Most of these marvels were at the Bronze Tier, with the Storm Bronze Mask being the highest at the Silver Tier. According to the introduction, its power was also the strongest.

Gao Xuan was a bit disappointed, there was no Undying Golden Cicada, indeed he couldn’t catch a loophole.

It seemed that the Xiao Family knew this was a valuable thing even if they didn’t know how to use the Undying Golden Cicada. They wouldn’t easily bring it out for an outsider like him to use.

Gao Xuan casually pointed at the puppet and said: "Sister Wan, I’ll take this one."

"Ghost Tiger Puppet?"

Xiao Wan slightly frowned and said: "You need to consider carefully, the Ghost Tiger Puppet can only be activated with Spiritual Power to manifest the Ghost Tiger, but this tiger consumes Spiritual Power. Each activation consumes a lot of Spiritual Power.

The Ghost Tiger Puppet also transmits the tiger’s habits to its master, such as liking to lie lazily, enjoying eating meat, and preferring to pounce on others from behind, etc. The most terrifying part is, when the master’s Spiritual Power is inadequate, they will be backfired by the Ghost Tiger..."

The Ghost Tiger Puppet is a very dangerous piece of Bronze Level marvel, with great power but many side-effects. Besides, it’s hard to resist.

Transforming into a tiger’s habits sounds like fun. Actually, for a cultivator, it’s a disaster.

Because the most fundamental nature is changed. The cultivator might even turn into a humanoid beast, losing basic intelligence.

Not to mention, the Ghost Tiger backlash is also a significant threat to the master.

Xiao Wan painstakingly pulled Gao Xuan into the association, hoping he would quickly grow into a powerful helper.

If Gao Xuan got infected by the Ghost Tiger Puppet, turning into a silly tiger, that would be quite ridiculous.

Furthermore, the Sword Dao Association’s examination does not allow the use of outward force marvels.

The most suitable marvels for Gao Xuan would be those that enhance his own power, as long as the power is not directly externalized, the opposition would have nothing to say.

Gao Xuan shook his head: "Sister Wan, I understand what you said. But these marvels are not suited to me. The Ghost Tiger Puppet is the only one that barely works."

"You still want to use it if it hardly works?" Xiao Wan was puzzled.

"If it’s free, I won’t waste it."

Gao Xuan said casually: "Since it’s given for free, I won’t be picky."

Xiao Wan looked deeply at Gao Xuan, a breath stuck in her throat that she couldn’t really let out.

What do you mean by free? Every piece of marvel costs her association points.

The Sword Dao Association is strictly managed, entirely in a military way.

Internal members have to work for the association every year to earn association points.

The higher the points, the more the contribution, the level naturally higher. The power is also greater, and the resources enjoyed more.

In any case, except for the few at the top, everyone else has to do their best to complete tasks for the association to earn points.

Including Xiao Wan’s father, Xiao Cheng, one of the patriarch’s direct sons, and the commander of the Guardian Army, he also needs to try his best to complete association tasks.

Such regulations of the association seem unkind and cold, yet make the members operate efficiently. Maintaining the vitality of the organization.

"The Ghost Tiger Puppet requires three thousand points. It’s not free at all."

Xiao Wan said coldly: "I’m lending it to you. You have to return the points to me in the future."

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said: "How much are three thousand points?"

He hasn’t joined the association yet, so he doesn’t have a clear concept of points.

"I became a Silver Sword Hero, and the association rewarded me with a thousand points. Serving two years at the Pegasus Star Space Fortress, there is a total of six hundred points award."

Xiao Wan said: "Normally, if you work at the association for ten years, you would more or less have three thousand points."

"I..."

Gao Xuan almost blurted out a rude word, The Ghost Tiger Puppet is so expensive, this is even darker than Nuwa.

"Don’t mind the price. This is a marvel. And it’s a marvel that can be used in combat, very powerful."

Xiao Wan said: "Such marvels are not common in my family either. Outside, you won’t even find a place to buy it no matter how much money you have."

The Xiao Family has thousands of marvels, 80% of which have no practical combat value.

Gao Xuan sighed, saying: "Sister Wan, is there nothing else? Even more expensive is fine, at least it should be suitable."

"Useful Silver Marvels start from ten thousand points, as for Golden Marvels, well, don’t even think about it."

Xiao Wan pondered for a moment before saying: "However, there are some mystical objects with unknown uses that might be useful to you..."

"That would be great."

Gao Xuan became excited: "Let me see first."

"But there’s a condition, you must become a Level 5 member first."

Xiao Wan noticed Gao Xuan’s excitement, and she maturely patted Gao Xuan’s shoulder: "Work hard, young man!"
