Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 659 - 330: The Legend of Divinity, The Origin of the Wet Nurse_1
By the Qinhuai River in Jinling, there stood a secluded mansion.
Lin Xun finally concluded his management work after sending off the last batch of temporary representatives.
Due to the short interval since their last harvest, the income from this Ceremony of Dedication reached nearly ten million. Even after deducting the third that would be given to Vesinu, six million remained.
According to Amos, if disciples held a ceremony every quarter, the spiritual energy gained could reach a terrifying amount of twenty to thirty million.
And this was just for the disciples ranked at the bottom, with fewer areas under their management.
The top-ranked disciples, who had gained even more lands, had astronomical earning from a single shepherding operation after the disciple’s war.
This massive spiritual energy would arm the disciples to the teeth, even allowing them to use the energy to cultivate more personal followers, for participation in subsequent wars.
If they could win the wars and expand their managing areas, it would create a virtuous cycle which allowed them to grow stronger and stronger.
"After a few energy harvesting like this, even the clumsiest apostles could have terrifying fighting power, let alone the one-in-a-million disciples."
"Wiping out the New World Organization won’t be easy."
The organization was very powerful, with countless brainwashed apostles under its control, including many big shots who already had considerable power and money in reality.
The mansion where Lin Xun was now living was a hidden asset of New World.
The mansion covered a vast area, with a garden, a swimming pool, an underground wine cellar, a fitness room, a private cinema, etc. The storage room alone was larger than an average living room.
He also found a small orchard. It wasn’t an exaggeration to describe this mansion as a modern palace.
And this mansion was just one among countless assets contributed by his subordinates at the expense of their devotion to New World.
In the garden of the mansion, the last batch of representatives had left.
Besides Lin Xun, there was a cultured, elegant-looking young man wearing golden spectacles.
The apostle codenamed "Arsonist" was one of the official undercover agents, and also Li Long’s assistant assigned to Lin Xun.
Cao Chi had been undercover in the New World for years but always remained at the lower level, never even making it into the Disciple’s Sanctuary.
Now that Lin Xun had become a disciple, this undercover agent, who was always neglected, was also brought into the Sanctuary. By funnelling money in and out of the Ceremony of Dedication, he was made a representative on justifiable grounds.
Two other undercover agents were also promoted smoothly in the same way.
This move would not appear suspicious, for it was normal that newly-promoted disciples would escalate their original followers along with them.
Amos had also operated in secret in order to get Lin Xun to his current position.
"Now that we have finished here, go back to Xicheng and manage the area for me."
"Yes, Lord Cain!"
’Arsonist’ Cao Chi responded, turning and departing.
In a blink of an eye, Lin Xun was the only one left in the vast mansion.
Housekeepers, maids, gardeners, and other miscellaneous personnel were all kept outside the mansion, only allowed in at designated times for the regular maintenance and cleaning work.
A head peeked out from around the corner of the garden. A blonde girl, retracted the refined copper wings from behind her back. She lifted her skirt and moved behind Lin Xun, massaging his shoulders to help him relax.
In no time at all, Shikigami ’Snow Woman’ brought over some freshly washed and cut fruit. She was feeding it to him spoonful after spoonful.
"Where are Sly Ghost and Nine-tailed Fox?"
Lin Xun asked somewhat absently.
"In reply to your lordship, Lord Sly Ghost is in the game room."
"Mistress Nine tails mentioned that she missed the hot springs in Sakura fall and...there is one in our current residence..."
Lin Xun swallowed a mouthful of juicy peach, and got up without hesitation. "Let’s go, let’s hit the hot springs too!".
...
After a relaxing dip to ease his fatigue, Lin Xun called his new boss, Li Long.
The spiritual energy generated from the dedication would be considered a gray income during the undercover period, but, as with his time in the Intelligence Team, the authorities did not forcefully ask undercover agents to hand over additional benefits earned during this period.
Having become the twelfth disciple, Li Long didn’t even mention the matter to Lin Xun.
Of course, when Lin Xun contacted his new boss, it wasn’t to foolishly hand over his donation, but to exchange the spiritual energy gained from the dedication with the organization for resources.
He was currently at a level six difficulty, and the trading pages in the library would not display items above that difficulty level. The highest quality equipment and weapons available in the trading channel were of the Legendary Grade.
He might be able to get equipment superior to the legendary grade through the organization’s channels, but the divine equipment at the mythic grade came with usage restrictions. So even if he could get it, it wouldn’t enhance his current strength.
Moreover, his main bodies all had suitable weapons by now, so forging personalised armours would not provide the best benefits for him - he, who already had a healing body.
Lin Xun was well aware that his cornerstone was his soul talent - Thousand Faces and Million Forms.
Money should be spent where it could yield results. Instead of forging weapons and equipment, he’d be better off upgrading his soul talent again to increase affinity.
It wouldn’t be too late to forge personalized armours once his soul talent had reached a high level.
"Legendary equipment of a divine nature... Didn’t Xingyue just give you one?"
"Uncle Li, who would ever think their soul talent level is too high?" The new boss was quite amiable towards him, treating him like a junior. Lin Xun obviously climbed up the hierarchy, directly calling him Uncle Li.
Lin Xun used to buy weapons for the Valkyrie, aiming to replace the divine equipment with spiritual energy, but he was stopped by the female superior.
Back then, the three epic divinities were kept by the female superior to gather enough quantity to exchange for the legendary divinity.
