Chapter 90: Cunning Succubus! Exploding to the Sky

Infernal Fire Corner.

The succubus walking in front twisted her waist, and her round and perky buttocks attracted everyone's attention. Her figure was extremely graceful and attractive, and her slender waist was so slender that it could be held in one hand, giving people the illusion of being enchanting and weak. The succubus was outstanding in both appearance and figure. Even Xiao En, who had experienced the baptism of Internet beauty in his previous life, could not help but lose his eyes for a moment when facing the charming succubus in front of him. (Succubus is born with 26 points of charm.)
Fortunately, Xiao En woke up quickly and immediately shifted his gaze away from the round full moon, stabilizing his mind.

"Keep your mind steady and be careful of succubi!" Xiao En reminded himself secretly.

Abyss City is the base camp of the creatures of Purgatory. There are promotion routes for both succubus and lust demons here. The extraordinary people who are promoted through these two monster routes are not simple.

As if she had sensed Xiao En's gaze, the succubus walking in front smiled and turned around. Her charming face, fiery red lips, and seductive eyes gave people the feeling that she was affectionate to everyone she looked at. She said softly, "Guest. Please come in."

This is a room filled with a faint scent of eroticism, with pink gauze curtains hanging over the windows and furniture made of black ebony. Abyss City is not the real world, and the material things here are very scarce. From the decoration of the room, it can be seen that this store is very powerful, because without sufficient financial resources, there is no energy to arrange these things.

Those who have not yet established a firm foothold in Abyss City are still busy trying to find a place to stand, and have no time to arrange these details.

The previous stores are not as luxuriously decorated as this one.

The succubus in front of him sat down with a smile, her slender but strong thighs crossed, revealing a touch of whiteness. She said in a tender tone: "Veronica, I am the owner of this store."

"I wonder if you have anything to sell?"

Xiao En looked around and stared at the succubus in front of him. After a moment, he took out the gains from his trial.

The succubus named Veronica's pupils shrank slightly in an instant. She looked at the strange objects and relics that appeared out of thin air in front of her, with an expression of uncontrollable shock. Then her eyes fell on Sean's ring. She seemed to have associated it with something. The enchanting feeling gradually dissipated, and her expression actually became a little respectful.

Dimensional ring!

In Abyss City, although extraordinary objects can be found everywhere, there are still many people who cannot afford a dimensional bag.

Spellcasters are a little richer, most of them have dimensional bags, but few of them can own dimensional rings. Xiao En didn't even take out the dimensional bag, but directly took out a bunch of things, so the black ring on his hand immediately attracted all the attention of the succubus in front of him.

"The city lord's men?"

Veronica's eyes flickered, and she instantly suppressed all bad thoughts, such as relying on her charm to lower the price during negotiations, or even using some of her succubus talents and tricks to squeeze the benefits out of the man in front of her.

She is a smart woman and knows who not to mess with or touch.

Xiao En deliberately showed his storage ring. This was Abyss City, Amon's territory. He chose the strongest and richest shop to avoid some trouble and to borrow some of their connections. As long as the other party recognized the black ring in Xiao En's hand, even if they only guessed what it was, they would know that his identity was not ordinary.

Sean is planning to take advantage of the power of another. Now that he has been kidnapped to Abyss City, he must rely on Amon's power.

There was a hint of expectation in the succubus's eyes, but after seeing what Sean took out, her expression became a little disappointed.

These are all very common oddities and relics.

She had thought she had come across a big deal, but it turned out to be just some small stuff that didn't interest her at all.

It wasn't until Sean took out the Eye Demon's relics that the succubus showed a hint of interest.

However, Xiao En quickly took back the relics of the Eye Demon. He still needed the spell to detect the Demon Eye, so he only took out the eye stems collected from the Eye Demon and said calmly, "How much can these be sold for?"

Lizardman stuff.

A glimmer of light appeared on Veronica's fingertips, and she guessed the origin of the strange object at a glance, and even guessed where Sean had gone.

"These strange things are not very valuable."

She looked at Xiao En in front of her, thought for a moment, and explained: "Many residents of Abyss City are infernal creatures, and they don't really need to rely on the power of the survival amulet."

"These relics are of some value, and the Ranger Hunter route is more popular."

After that, she smiled and said, "However, since you can take out so many rare items at once, you must be very powerful."

"To make friends."

"I'll give you a satisfactory price."

These things were not of much value to Veronica, they were nothing more than regular exotic goods, but the man in front of her was very valuable to her.

She had always wanted to enter the magical area, and the commercial area could no longer satisfy her appetite.

Veronica hopes to make her business bigger and stronger. Only shops in the magic district are qualified to deal in sealed objects, high-level objects and legendary objects. She has always lacked the most critical connections. The man in front of her gives her a glimmer of hope, because he is wearing the city lord's black ring.

This is an investment, and she hopes to have the opportunity to meet the legendary city lord.

Ok?
Hearing the other party's words, Xiao En frowned slightly, and then seemed to understand something. He swept the relics beside him aside and said calmly: "It's okay to make friends, but I'm also a newcomer and I'm not familiar with Abyss City."

Xiao En's words made the succubus in front of him look even more eager. A newcomer actually had the city lord's token.

What does this mean?
As a succubus, she knew it all too well.

Veronica said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, sir. This is just a small investment. Talented spellcasters are our big customers."

“This is just the beginning, right?”

"Given your ability, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things that will require help in the future. I'm just expressing my sincerity in cooperation."

Regardless of whether it was a powerful spellcaster or a well-connected spellcaster, she would not lose money on this investment.

It's just that you'll earn less soul stones in this transaction.

The other party had said so much that there was no need for further bargaining. It was clear that he intended to buy back these rare items and relics at a high price.

This is a very smart succubus.

Xiao En gladly accepted it. He really needed some external help now. This batch of rare items could be sold at a high price, and he would also have more soul stones to prepare for the next trial.

After half an hour.

Sean walked out of the store called "Infernal Corner". Veronica did give Sean a high price. He got more than 500 soul stones for this batch of rare objects and relics. It was basically equivalent to the other party helping Sean sell them. There was no profit at all, and he might even have to pay a little.

Veronica watched Sean leave with a smile. After he left, the succubus waved her hand gently, and a short figure only about 1.2 meters tall emerged.

The succubus whispered, "Go and find out if there have been any human-looking people entering or leaving the city lord's mansion recently."

The short figure nodded and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

on the street.

With the help of the succubus proprietress, Xiao En found a very hidden shop in the alley. The sign hanging on the door was called "Hellflame", and it was obvious that it was a very legitimate alchemy shop.

"Veronica introduced me."

Xiao En pushed open the door and said to the charred corpse inside: "I need to buy some powerful alchemical explosives."

——The Fire Demon.

It should be an advanced mutation, because what Sean saw was an almost burnt humanoid corpse, with cracked skin, sparks surging in the flesh and blood, no hair on the body, and complex magic patterns engraved on the skin, as if trying to stabilize its body shape.

A demon who ascended through alchemy.

Advancement through the monster pathway is rather complicated and cannot be explained in a few words, and Xiao En himself is still learning.

Simply put, the demon path is to first advance to the demon form, then change the race template, and then advance to the corresponding career system.

The proprietress of Purgatory Fire Corner is a succubus.

According to Xiao En's understanding, her first ten extraordinary levels were monster levels, a branch of the demon species - the succubus form. When she was fusing the extraordinary relics in the third stage, she chose to be promoted to the warlock profession, so she should be a level 10 succubus/level 2 warlock, which is probably a promotion template.

Rely on the succubus's natural 26 points of charm to improve the warlock's spellcasting ability.

Demonic supernatural beings will choose a final life form and then be promoted to the corresponding career system.

If you continue to advance to the demon form, you will need a higher monster level.

The final form of the Fire Demon should be the Balrog. According to Xiao En's understanding, the promotion template should be - Level 20 Balrog/Level 1 Alchemist. If it is promoted in this way, before the Legend of Destiny, it will only be a monster level, and there will be no extraordinary level of the professional.

Demons, devils, evil spirits, etc., each form transformation and race transformation of the monster path has a corresponding monster level requirement, and also occupies the extraordinary level of the professional.

Because the ultimate destiny path is capped at 20 levels, the higher the monster levels, the lower the career levels.

The monster level gains racial talents, and the professional level gains comprehensive enhancements.

Overall, the professional level of the Transcendent is still stronger, but the racial attribute of the Demonic Promotion Route is indeed very high. A Level 26 Transcendent has an amazing points of Charm, and probably only the Succubus form of the Demonic Path can get such a high Charm talent.

(The Devil's Path's Succubus only has 20 points of Charm, so there's no need to guess which one is prettier. Succubus has always been N01, even surpassing the Fairy.)
The owner of this shop is a semi-elemental demon species. It should be a special promotion route, and it is possible that he has integrated the extraordinary relics of elemental life.

There was a strong smell of sulfur and gunpowder. It slowly raised its head, glanced at Xiao En, and said in a heavy voice, "The cargo list is at the counter."

“Some are sold out and are out of stock for the time being.”

There are no clerks in this store, and probably no one wants to stay with a fire demon who likes to play with gunpowder. It is not afraid of fire damage, but other people are probably worried that they will be blown to death.

Xiao En was actually a little worried.

The whole store smelled of sulfur and gunpowder, and sparks were coming out of the owner's body. If there was a sudden explosion, the whole store would blow up into the sky.

When he walked in, he was already ready to 'dimension jump'.

Xiao En did not go into the innermost part. He stood about five meters away and looked at the list of goods on the counter to make sure that he could escape by dimensional jumping at any time. The prices of the things here were very expensive. The cheapest explosive gunpowder barrel cost fifteen soul stones.

He estimated his own assets and said in a deep voice, "Three powder kegs of purgatory."

"An explosive trap."

"What is Hellfire?"

The Fire Demon looked up at him, as if examining something, and said in a heavy voice: "This thing is not sold to strangers, but you were introduced by Veronica."

"I can sell you one."

"Hellfire is a weakened version of the Incinerator Explosion. It will kill everyone within a 7-meter radius. Its power is roughly equivalent to a th-level Shaping Spell."

What the hell? Is it that cruel?
Xiao En looked at the price. If he bought a copy of Hellfire, he would spend all his family fortune.

The total of the previous ones is only more than 100 soul stones, and one Hellfire requires 350 soul stones, which can be used to buy many explosive traps.

Xiao En was a little moved and asked, "How do I use this?"

The Fire Demon glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Usually it is used for self-destruction. This is not a magic scroll, otherwise it wouldn't be so cheap. I can make a trigger detonator for you, but you have to be careful of its explosion range."

A magic scroll of this power would probably be very expensive.

It is impossible to buy more than 300 soul stones because the magic scroll requires extraordinary relics as materials.

"Thirty-five meters in explosion diameter."

"A basketball court is only 28 meters long, so the explosion range is about one and a half basketball courts."

Xiao En roughly calculated the range of the explosion. The explosion area was not small, so he must not accidentally get killed in the explosion.

Bought!

What Xiao En lacks is explosive output.

With this thing, even high-level extraordinary people may be blown to death by him.

Explosion is art!

The Fire Demon glanced at him and continued, "After the Hellfire explodes, it will continue to burn."

"Be careful when using it."

It reached out and took Sean's soul stone, and quickly moved out three gunpowder barrels, a rather complicated explosion trap, and finally a hellfire that exuded a hint of supernatural essence, and its appearance was a bit like a closed bomb can.

The Fire Demon glanced at Xiao En and said, "Is three seconds enough?"

Xiao En shook his head and said, "Too slow."

“One second will do.”

When the Fire Demon heard his words, he actually showed a hint of appreciation. He quickly changed the trigger wire and said, "Don't blow yourself up. It will affect my reputation."

rest assured.

I don't use it myself.

Xiao En discovered that although he couldn't buy guns in Abyss City, explosives seemed to be quite easy to get. All the extraordinary people in the alchemical path could make this thing.

The Fire Demon opened a cabinet at random.

It took out three iron lumps that looked like grenades, handed them to Xiao En and said, "Since it was introduced by an acquaintance."

"I'll give you some little gadgets."

"Grenade, do you know?"

Grenade?

Xiao En's eyes were a little surprised. The word "grenade" suddenly appeared in the retro furnishings here, which made him a little stunned, but he still nodded and said, "I know a little."

The Burning Demon introduced: "It is said that it was researched by the alchemists in Dorne. I copied some of it."

"More powerful than traditional fire glue."

"I added some iron scraps in it, which is a combination of flaming glue and explosive caltrops. It has a three-second delay, so you can throw it farther when you need it."

"If it works, I'll come back next time."

This guy is a talent!

Xiao En took it in surprise. The appearance was very similar to the grenade in his previous life. There was a shallow rune mark on the surface, which should be the trigger ignition device. The technology in this world uses a lot of rune patterns. A little bit of extraordinary material can be detonated after activating the rune.

However, the craftsmanship of the things here is rather crude, far inferior to that of the alchemists in Dorne.

Simple, easy to use and powerful.

Demons are all pragmatists and simply don't have the energy to engrave precise runes. Although defective products and accidents may occur occasionally, they do not affect the overall value.

The biggest disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive, as it is all made by hand through alchemy.

Xiao En returned with a full load.

About ten minutes later, a charming and enchanting figure appeared outside of Hellflame. Like Sean, the succubus Veronica did not walk into the store completely, but stood at the door with a vigilant look, as if she was ready to escape at any time.

No one wants to get close to a fire demon who likes to play with explosives!

Usually, few people pass by this alley.

The Fire Demon was still busy with his own business behind the counter. He didn't even raise his head, too lazy to look at the charming succubus outside. He didn't have that function anyway. He said, "Did you introduce a customer just now?"

Succubus Veronica nodded and said, "Yes. A potential big client."

"I think he'd like your alchemical explosives."

The Fire Demon nodded and said, "Yes. It looks like he is not a simple person."

"Last month's dividend is on the counter, take it yourself."

The succubus didn't even come in. She raised her hand and performed a magic trick, taking away a bag of heavy soul stones from the counter.

She said she would give Xiao En a fair price and that this business could be considered as making friends.

But she didn't say that she also had shares in this 'Hellflame'. It was opened with her investment in the Fire Demon in front of her. After going around in circles, these soul stones finally returned to her own pocket.

After all this back and forth, she finally made some money from Xiao En and made Xiao En owe her a favor.

Cunning succubus!
Outside the commercial street in the market area, Xiao En was eating dinner, grilled salamander meat, hind leg meat, very chewy, tasted good, the boss was a real halfling. The prices in Abyss City were relatively expensive, probably because of the scarcity of resources, and daily food was not cheap. The residents here were all extraordinary people, but most of the people who really went out for adventure were mercenaries. Most of the local residents used a relatively gentle way to advance, that is, saving money to buy extraordinary relics from adventurers.

Not everyone is willing to go out and work hard. Even in Abyss City, many people choose a more ordinary lifestyle, such as doing small business.

Their need for promotion is more about a desire for a longer life, and some people will even give up promotion for fear of contamination.

There are many extraordinary people here who are below level five.

Everyone is an extraordinary person, they are just ordinary people here.

After Xiao En finished eating the grilled salamander, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all. No other drinks were provided here, only water and wine. He drank water, but the glass seemed not to be clean and smelled of alcohol. His good mood was instantly gone.

"how much is it?"

The halfling boss at the side turned around, held up two fingers and said, "Two gold coins."

Xiao En nodded and took out a soul stone. It was a grayish-white diamond-shaped stone, translucent, only the size of a little finger, a bit like quartz, with a deep black mark inside. This was the soul crystal, a common currency in many places. Jindler was not commonly used because it was a gold coin made by druids and was generally only used as a regular small-denomination currency.

One gold der is equivalent to 100 dinars in Dorne.

The price difference between these two sides is really too big.

However, eating a good meal in the weird country has always been expensive, and the output of the Abyss City is definitely not as abundant as in the real world.

There are no paper money here, and paper money is not recognized. Small-denomination currencies are all gold and silver coins.

The half-orc boss reached out to take the soul stone, took a look at it to make sure the soul power inside was not lost. A small businessman had to take a few more glances, then he found eight gold coins and handed them to Sean in front of him.

High-quality soul crystals are not circulated on the market. What is circulated are these small pieces of quartz crystal soul stones.

It is a resource in itself.

Xiao En reached out and took eight gold coins. The value of a soul stone was roughly 1000 dinars. It was much easier to make money here than in the real world, but it was a pity that he couldn't take it back, otherwise he would have made a fortune by exchanging a bunch of gold coins.

In fact, in Abyss City, many adventurers do not recognize Jindler. They only want Soul Crystals, and gold coins can only be regarded as change for daily shopping.

Druids are very popular here.

Even the fallen Withered Ones have a say in the Abyss City.

After eating, Xiao En returned to his residence. As expected, the sixth floor of the tower was not cleaned up, but there was nothing good left for him. It must have been taken away by other demons and devils. He could not expect them to leave any rare things for Xiao En. There were only a lot of books here.

Mainly the notes of the previous wizard, and some collected ancient books.

In the corner is a clay golem that is 70% new.

Sean opened the brain structure of the clay golem, placed a soul crystal into it, embedded it into the rune groove, and quickly activated it.

The clay golem said, "Master. Please give me your orders."

Xiao En thought for a moment and said, "Go clean the room."

He just gave it a try.

Invisible servants can actually do tasks like cleaning, but now it has a greater use, so let's use the clay golem for now.

"Yes Master."

The clay golem quickly picked up a broom and began to clean all the rooms, and also simply tidied up the messy things. It has a certain intelligence, roughly equivalent to a low-end combat robot.

This is the technology tree of another world. Although there is no industrialization process, artificial intelligence was invented in another world very early.

The Golem series is considered a representative work of the otherworldly technology tree.
