I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 600 - 326: One Hundred Million Pieces of Equipment, The Mad Saint!

"Sigh~"

Gu Shanhai exhaled a breath of turbid air, casually pushing back the Spirit Plant roots that came out with the breath back down his throat; recently, with the increase in his power, the roots within his body kept trying to grow outwards.

This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; it was an expansion, and his own "human skin" could hardly contain it.

It was like when children grow up and their clothes become too small.

"I need to think of a way to suppress it, at least this skin in this world can’t break."

If he hadn’t formed his own Child Skill, Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt, to reach this level, he would at least need to be in the process of refining and integrating the soul of heaven and earth, not now.

Getting stronger is just that, becoming stronger; his strengthening was in all aspects, so it was quite normal.

"Never mind, suppressing it might not be very realistic; better to think of another idea, to make my skin tougher." Gu Shanhai pondered as the flesh beneath his skin writhed, giving one the creeps. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

However, it quickly subsided, Gu Shanhai had already instructed the Spirit Plant inside him not to move anymore.

"The idea is good, but where can I find such strong material?" Gu Shanhai sighed helplessly.

As for maintaining it with illusion techniques, it seemed possible, but illusion could only conceal; if he truly lost that layer of skin, an indescribable aura would permeate out.

Gu Shanhai’s current internal state was quite terrifying, especially the various effects derived from the Heart Demon series abilities; if he were to walk into a crowd, the milder case would be various emotions being induced into madness, and the more severe one would be the entire person undergoing mutation.

Next were the many cycles formed between the different Spirit Plants, which within their range would assimilate all life within the natural ecosystem.

Yet, compared to the true indescribable, he still lacked a little, and now this little bit was being perfected bit by bit by the "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" as part of growing his Child Skill.

As for stopping?

How could that be possible? He would not stop his pursuit of strength over a little trouble.

He wasn’t an official player; if his strength growth stopped, it wouldn’t be much different from a slow death.

"As long as I don’t exert myself too much, there shouldn’t be a problem; if I do need to exert myself, then that’s not much of a problem either."

Gu Shanhai’s definition of exertion naturally meant fighting for his life; if there’s no need for such desperation, then how could it be called exertion? Either defeat in an instant or call the protagonist to the stage—no need for such trouble.

"Next, I will just slowly grind it out, waiting to perfect my ’Blood Buffalo Three-Piece Set’ to completion before I can begin to work on its Divine Skills transformation."

"It will just require some time."

Previously, it would’ve taken three years, but now it’s different; he needs twenty years.

Mainly it’s slow grinding, relying on a gradual process; the reason is naturally the integration of the Child Skills, Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt, which is too much; if we’re really counting, it’s even higher than the Qi Refining Sixth Level White Tiger martial art formed in the Daoist Soldier World by gathering a hundred schools of martial arts.

Gu Shanhai suspected that some of these Child Skills might come from a Martial World of even higher energy level than the Daoist Soldier World.

This wasn’t impossible; after all, the Child Skill was supposedly purchased from a Plane Merchant. Players in "The First Epoch" might be restricted by world energy levels, but these Plane Merchants don’t have as many problems, with their own forces and personal strength being enough to roam through the worlds.

And after twenty years, the real work had just begun; turning it into a Martial Arts-based Divine Skill was key, but Gu Shanhai hadn’t even created a new file for that yet.

For him, focusing on the future was right, but he also needed to stay rooted in the present.

After perfecting the Child Skill, Gu Shanhai continued to observe the Great Xu.

It was now the eleventh month of the Great Xu; in another month, the Great Xu would start to converge with the Adventure King World, so the next two months were the most dangerous period for the entire Adventure King World.

Until the Great Xu gradually departed from the Adventure King World.

Now the whole world had already started to decay, thanks to the constant aid from players and "The First Epoch," the world managed to survive with difficulty.

Even many adventure zones disappeared due to disordered and fractured rules, with Divine Relics included.

Gu Shanhai also had his preventive measures in place, protecting all five adventure zones metamorphosed by the God of Destiny’s End.

As for other places, Gu Shanhai’s abilities were limited; it was already good that he could protect these five zones, he planned to run if there were more.

In poverty, one looks after oneself; in prosperity... oh, Gu Shanhai thought that even if he prospered, he would still look after himself, considering the world is vast and not lacking in one person like him, at most he would just help his Disciples, no one else could truly be saved.

"Hope the world can hold on and not snap in half." Gu Shanhai sincerely wished, otherwise, it would be difficult to find another suitable world to extract the soul of heaven and earth.

"Hiss~ How come they’ve sent another batch of gear?" Gu Shanhai’s Spiritual Sense detected the adventurers bringing more materials over.

He had just completed a batch of eighty million worth of equipment the day before yesterday.

"Have they gone mad? This batch is worth a billion, right?" Gu Shanhai’s countenance was a bit horrified.
