Chapter 379: Chapter 269: Mythical Recruitment! The Advent of the True Vampire Ancestor

"Master, welcome back~"

As the Teleportation Array in the Guild flickered with a faint light, Alice immediately rushed toward Su Xuan and threw herself into his arms.

"President, you’re finally back!"

Viora followed close behind, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly perched on her deer-like back, flapping its wings cheerfully.

"Yes, we’re back."

Su Xuan gently ruffled the two girls’ hair, a soft smile on his face.

Although Alice and Viora had not left the Guild, they had witnessed everything in the Star Kingdom through Su Xuan’s perspective.

Of course, they couldn’t see anything that happened in the Abyss; the feed had been nothing but a blur.

[You have received a new private message!]

Just as he returned to the Guild, Su Xuan received a private message.

He opened the messaging interface and saw it was from Xu Feiyan.

[Feiyan: ??? (Accompanied by a confused kitten emoji)]

Su Xuan looked at the message, rubbed the tip of his nose, and replied with a question mark of his own.

Soon, another message from Xu Feiyan arrived.

[Feiyan: What in the world happened? How did your Contribution Points suddenly shoot past mine?]

’Ahem... A few things did happen...’

Su Xuan gave a light cough, then told Xu Feiyan about the series of events that had occurred in the Royal City.

Of course, he chose to remain silent about the crucial part: how he had defeated the Valkyrie-form Vivian. He didn’t mention a single word about it.

[Feiyan: I can’t believe so much happened. Looks like I missed a lot of the fun.]

"Yes, if you had been there, you definitely wouldn’t have been disappointed..."

Just after sending this message, Su Xuan fell silent.

He suddenly realized that the area had been pitch-black at the time. Even if Xu Feiyan had been present, she probably wouldn’t have been able to see a thing.

[Feiyan: That’s a real shame. But what’s even more of a shame is that I didn’t get those seven Valkyrie Petals... (Pitiful-looking emoji)]

"..."

Seeing the emoji Xu Feiyan sent, Su Xuan immediately understood her intentions. She was still fixated on those seven Valkyrie Petals.

"You want them?"

[Feiyan: Would you be willing to part with them? I’m willing to pay.]

"I..."

Just as Su Xuan was about to respond, another message from Xu Feiyan popped up.

[Feiyan: If you’re willing, I can give you a price you’ll like. What do you think of 1,000 Gold Coins?]

’1,000 Gold Coins?’

Su Xuan’s gaze narrowed, and he raised an eyebrow.

These seven Valkyrie Petals could summon a phantom of a Valkyrie for a short battle, but they were ultimately one-time consumables, not suited for prolonged combat.

However, even as a brief projection, a Valkyrie phantom possessing a Divine Format could sweep away any unit below the rank of Demigod.

A price of 1,000 Gold Coins wasn’t unreasonable. In fact, was he even getting the short end of the stick?

But before Su Xuan could reply, Xu Feiyan sent another message.

[Feiyan: I haven’t gotten any Gold Coins in the game recently, and I just bought a batch of equipment, so I only have 1,000 Gold Coins on hand. If you’re willing to trade in the real world, I can triple the price.]

"?"

When Su Xuan saw Xu Feiyan’s message, his eyes instantly lit up with a shrewd glint.

3,000 Gold Coins was equivalent to three million in cash!

This wasn’t just enough to solve his housing problem; as long as he wasn’t too extravagant, it would be enough to cover normal living expenses for decades.

Su Xuan weighed the pros and cons. After careful consideration, he typed out a message and sent it: "A real-world trade is fine."

[Feiyan: That’s great! But I’m really busy these days and probably can’t find the time. I’ll get back to you when I’m free. Don’t worry, it won’t be more than a week.]

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

After replying, Su Xuan’s gaze fell upon the seven Valkyrie Petals in his inventory.

He couldn’t help but sigh. If a mere Pseudo-Mythical quality item was worth millions, then a true Mythical quality piece of equipment must be worth over ten million.

However, all this so-called value was based on the game’s mechanics.

Su Xuan knew full well that his Mythical quality Adventurers were priceless. Even if someone offered an astronomical sum, he would never use Lucia and the others as bargaining chips.

Of course, he had never even considered selling his Adventurers. At most, he would only sell some of the equipment and items obtained from his adventures.

Ending the conversation with Xu Feiyan, Su Xuan closed the chat window and turned his attention to the seven Valkyrie Petals in his hand.

The petals exuded a faint fragrance, seemingly imbued with some kind of magic. Just taking them out was enough to attract the attention of Viora and the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

"It smells so good~"

Viora elegantly strode over on her deer legs, slowly approaching Su Xuan and sniffing gently at the Valkyrie Petals with the tip of her nose.

The Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly also danced happily around Su Xuan, seeming to take a keen interest in the seven petals.

Looking at the two little ones, Su Xuan smiled and asked, "Do you two really like the scent of these petals?"

"Mhm, mhm!"

The two little ones nodded vigorously to show how much they liked it.

Seeing this, Su Xuan then took out the White Rose Valkyrie’s private petal, held it out in front of Viora and the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly, and asked, "What about this one?"

"This one..."

Viora curiously moved closer to the private petal, sniffing it carefully.

However, when she sensed the peculiar aura mixed within the petal, her beautiful face instantly turned grave.

"President, this petal... it’s not good."

There was a hint of terror in Viora’s voice. She even took a few steps back on her deer legs, seemingly wary of the petal.
