Chapter 232 Taking stock of recent gains (10,000 words, please subscribe!)
The last time Qiu Tu took stock of his gains was before the fierce battle with Jia Shu.
Since that day, more than a week has passed.
During these seven or eight days, the "cooling down" time of several of Qiu Tu's subordinates whose loyalty exceeded 90 has ended.
Therefore, Qiu Tu happily used them to salvage.
However, I don’t know if the second salvage effect was not good, or if the Noble Phantasms that Qiu Tu salvaged before came from Jia Shu, Jia Wei and others. Now that they are finished, there are fewer Catastrophic Noble Phantasms in New Territories City.
Anyway, Qiu Tu only succeeded three of these five salvage opportunities.
However, fortunately, the results of the three salvage operations were good, and two cataclysmic treasures and a bottle of cataclysmic potion were obtained.
Both cataclysmic treasures are related to defense.
One is the "trigger paper man" that Tang Feifei lent to Qiu Tu and Qiu Tu used.
The function of this cataclysmic treasure is that when the user is attacked, it will automatically trigger and form a defensive layer on the body surface.
That layer of defense can block attacks from large-caliber firearms for up to 30 seconds.
It is a very conventional defensive treasure, made by the Sanctuary, and is a protective prop given to high-level officials in the area to be planned.
Moreover, now that Qiu Tu has become the deputy minister, the Bureau of Investigation will theoretically send him one.
Therefore, Qiu Tu thought about giving the piece he salvaged to Shen Lingshuang.
After all, compared to the women around Qiu Tu who were "fully armed" and safer than him, Shen Lingshuang was the poorest and the weakest.
Among Qiu Tu’s recent crisis reminders is the crisis of [RUF’s Revenge].
In the introduction of this crisis, the RUF will not only attack him, but also his family. So Qiu Tu does not want to regret it after the tragedy happens.
Of course, there was another important reason why Qiu Tu was willing to hand over such an important defensive catastrophic treasure to Shen Lingshuang.
That is the second catastrophic treasure he salvaged: the Money-Hungry Wallet.
"Catastrophic Noble Phantasm: Money-Hungry Wallet"
"Introduction to the Noble Phantasm: A cataclysmic Noble Phantasm made of an unknown substance. As long as you put enough gold into your wallet, it will automatically trigger for defense when you are attacked."
"Theoretically, as long as you have enough gold, it will resist any damage. But in reality, it can only resist attacks of light artillery and below."
"Note: This item can be used multiple times, and there is no interval between uses. But please deposit enough gold. When the gold is used up and it is attacked, it will self-destruct."
When he first obtained this catastrophic treasure, Qiu Tu was astonished.
This Noble Phantasm is obviously not an ordinary defensive Noble Phantasm like "Trigger Paper Man", but a specially made Catastrophic Noble Phantasm.
Not only is the defense more powerful, but it can also be used unlimited times - provided you have enough money.
So after getting this treasure, Qiu Tu immediately put all the small goldfish he carried with him into it.
After that, he also tested the effect of this treasure: he took out a metal dagger issued by the Bureau of Investigation and tentatively cut his wrist.
As a result, what surprised Qiu Tu was that the moment the blade cut through his skin, a thin layer of golden light suddenly appeared inside his wrist, and then he gently blocked the blade.
Qiu Tu tried to use great force to cut off the blade. But no matter how hard he tried, the thin layer of golden light could not be broken through.
Afterwards, Qiu Tu put down the knife, opened Xiqian's wallet and checked it.
A small goldfish inside was missing almost one-tenth of its weight.
Although this consumption is not small, it is still within the acceptable range for Qiu Tu.
After all, you can make more money, but you only have one life.
The greatest sorrow in life is: the person is gone, but the money is still there!
And it was precisely because of this defensive Noble Phantasm that was far more effective than "Triggering the Paper Man" that Qiu Tu was willing to give Shen Lingshuang the life-saving Catastrophic Noble Phantasm.
After all, there is no conflict with this kind of defensive treasure, so the more, the better. If they are infinitely stacked, no one will think they have a long life.
However, apart from these two relatively normal catastrophic treasures, the bottle of catastrophic potion that Qiu Tu got was a bit weird and special.
"Catastrophic Potion: Pregnancy Potion"
"Introduction to the potion: A catastrophic potion made by the "mysterious" path catastrophic using moonlight water, multi-child red beans and other catastrophic materials."
"Effectiveness of the potion: As long as you add a drop to the water and drink it, it will effectively increase the probability of pregnancy of the creature and greatly increase the chance of giving birth to offspring. If you drink it for 10 consecutive days, the next time you have sex, you are destined to be pregnant."
To be honest, when he saw this bottle of potion, Qiu Tu was filled with questions.
The first thing he was curious about was: Who drank this bottle of potion?
From the description, it seems that it is for women to drink, after all, it can increase the probability of pregnancy.
However, the introduction of this potion does not indicate that it can only be consumed by women.
Therefore, Qiu Tu had a bold idea at that time: Could it be that after drinking this bottle of pregnancy potion for 10 days in a row, the next dose would make a woman 100% pregnant?
This idea made Qiu Tu, a pervert, feel a little perverted.
However, he soon began to wonder who made this potion and who was it intended for use?
After thinking about it, Qiu Tu felt that the only person in New Territories City who could be so perverted, and who happened to be related to the behavior of "reproduction", was the evil girl La Riluo.
In the past, followers of La Riluo made "Rosemary Love Potion", which later proved to be used to seduce the section chiefs and their wives and tame them.
And now she has made this "pregnancy potion". To be honest, Qiu Tu is really worried.
He suspected that La Riluo was preparing some conspiracy again, or was eyeing some targets.
Apart from these three Catastrophic Noble Phantasms obtained in the "Salvage Game", Qiu Tu did not gain much in these seven or eight days.
Because Wang Xi was arrested, Qiu Tu's previous authority had not been expanded, and all the subordinates around him were very loyal, there was no worthy opponent in his "fighting game". So Qiu Tu simply didn't even play.
As for the [Crisis Treasure Box], because there haven’t been many crises during this period, only [Jia Shu’s attack] brought Qiu Tu a catastrophic material: Shadow Fragments.
According to Goldfinger's introduction, this is a somewhat precious catastrophic material that can be used to make catastrophic props such as "Shadow Whip", "Spell Skull" and "Old Seal".
This actually corresponds to a piece of catastrophic material called "Unnamed Inscription Stone Powder" that Qiu Tu obtained last time.
Qiu Tu thought about giving this material to Shen Lingshuang to see what magical cataclysmic treasure this talented blacksmith could make!
In addition to the rewards obtained from the golden finger, Qiu Tu's biggest gain during this period should be the promotion of his position and the improvement of his catastrophic ability.
The former allowed him to truly gain a certain status and influence in the Bureau of Investigation and in the New Territories City.
The latter will further enhance his strength.
However, what Qiu Tu has always been a little puzzled about is that he is now obviously very powerful, second only to the highest level three cataclysm in mankind.
But why does he still feel that he is very weak?
This extreme weakness is not only reflected physically, but also mentally.
He doesn't seem to have as much self-confidence as Tang Feifei, nor does he have the consciousness to become an extraordinary creature.
He always feels like he's missing something
He was not sure if it was because he was a monk halfway and was groping alone on the road to disaster, missing some key factors.
Therefore, if he has time in the next two days, he plans to go to Tang Feifei to have a good chat about this matter and see if there is anything wrong.
At this time, Qiu Tu was taking stock of his harvest.
The sound of "ta-da-da" footsteps was also heard on the stairs on the second floor of the villa.
Qiu Tu came to his senses and looked up. He saw Shen Lingshuang running downstairs with two short legs and a happy face.
Xiaobai's body became flat and wide, and he was carrying a black statue the size of a basketball on his back, which was almost in pieces. He followed Shen Lingshuang and ran happily downstairs.
Because the potion it drank was imperfect, only one part of its body could grow in size, so its big body, coupled with its short four legs, small head, and bent body, looked extremely funny.
Qiu Tuxiao looked at the man and the dog, and took the initiative to stand up and greet them.
When she ran to Qiu Tu, Shen Lingshuang reached out and took Qiu Tu's hand, pointed at the black statue on Xiao Bai's body, and said excitedly, "Qiu Tu, look! What is this?"
Qiu Tu held Shen Lingshuang's hand and tilted his head to look at the black statue on Xiao Bai's body, carefully identifying it for a long time.
However, I don't know if Shen Lingshuang's artistic techniques are too superb. Qiu Tu looked at it carefully for a long time, but he really didn't see what this statue was.
In his sight, it was a building made of mud. Mud.
It is covered with traces of Shen Lingshuang's palms and fingerprints, just like an octopus. It looks weird, and if you look closely, it looks a bit scary like Cthulhu.
However, facing Shen Lingshuang's pride, Qiu Tu felt that there was a high probability that there might be something wrong with his aesthetic vision.
Therefore, he looked at Shen Lingshuang and asked tentatively, "Is it a piece of art?"
Shen Lingshuang obviously didn't notice Qiu Tu's confusion. She said excitedly, "Thinker! This is the Thinker!"
Hearing this, Qiu Tu looked at the black statue carefully again.
After a while, he looked stunned!
Didn't see it at all
But when faced with the fruits of the girl's hard work for several days, Qiu Tu would definitely not be honest and tell the truth.
So he extended his thumb without hesitation and gave Shen Lingshuang enough emotional value, "It really looks like it!"
"Lingshuang, don't tell me. You are really ingenious!"
Hearing Qiu Tu's compliment, Shen Lingshuang sheepishly laughed "hehe" twice, and then said, "Actually, my father has praised me for my artistic talent since I was a child."
"The clay figurines I made look just like alive ones."
Qiu Tu:
It's okay, your father is a powerful official and what he said makes sense.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu also brought the topic back to the topic at the right time. He asked, "Then what is the function of this thinking statue?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's inquiry, Shen Lingshuang pinched her waist proudly, puffed up her chest, and said proudly, "This is the first cataclysmic treasure that I have made: the thinking statue!"
"Thinking Statue?"
As he murmured this name, the confusion on Qiu Tu's face slowly turned into realization.
He remembered.
Last time he saw Shen Lingshuang repairing the workbench, preparing to make a cataclysmic treasure, so he casually handed over all the cataclysm materials he had obtained before: the ashes of giant beasts and memory clay to Shen Lingshuang (Chapter 182).
According to Goldfinger's introduction to these two cataclysmic materials, they can be used to produce a cataclysmic treasure "Thinking Statue".
Originally, Qiu Tu didn't have much hope that Shen Lingshuang could make this precious phantom. He just wanted to find something for Shen Lingshuang to do.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Shen Lingshuang actually figured it out!
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu looked at Shen Lingshuang in surprise.
Qiu Tu's surprised look was obviously very helpful to Shen Lingshuang.
She carefully removed the "Thinking Statue" from Xiao Bai, then held it in her arms and introduced it to Qiu Tu, "Don't think this cataclysmic treasure I made is a bit ugly. But... I promise! Its ability , the effect is no problem at all!”
Speaking of this, Shen Lingshuang said with pride, "The function of this cataclysmic treasure is to greatly improve the user's thinking speed, memory and other abilities."
“Not only can it help users analyze problems and make decisions more easily, but it can also help users quickly learn knowledge and skills.”
Shen Lingshuang said seriously, "So this treasure can really be called a cheating artifact."
She looked nostalgic, "In the Third Sanctuary, many powerful people use it as an assistant in order to quickly learn a certain skill or acquire certain knowledge. Often they get twice the result with half the effort."
Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked, "Then if I want to learn some boxing and kicking skills, will it work?"
Shen Lingshuang puffed up her small breasts slightly and said firmly, "Of course!"
"As long as it's related to learning and thinking, it will have excellent results."
Speaking of this, Shen Lingshuang might be worried that Qiu Tu wouldn't believe it, so she gave an example, "Actually, I have used this cataclysmic treasure in the Third Sanctuary."
She said, "I learned my pharmacy, medicine refining skills, and ability to make catastrophic treasures all from it!"
Qiu Tu:
After hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, to be honest, at that moment, Qiu Tu felt like a basin of cold water was poured on his head.
Did Shen Lingshuang's unreliable medicine-making ability and her ability to forge Noble Phantasms be learned using "Thought Sculpture"?
Why did Qiu Tu suddenly feel that this Noble Phantasm was unreliable?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu coughed, concealed his emotions, and then asked, "Does this treasure have any side effects?"
