"Cheers~"
In a makeshift tavern on Padma Island, Wu Hui and his group were celebrating the victory of the first battle. They were drinking rum, a strong liquor brewed from sugar cane that was brought to various countries from the southern continent by pirates in recent decades.
After a few drinks, the handsome blond Blake picked up the harp and began to play a poem with great interest: "We crossed the ocean, fought against storms, and fought against alien races. We arrived at the magical holy land of Patrick Islands and opened an epic chapter..."
The refreshing music, coupled with Blake's outstanding bardic skills, naturally attracted countless attention. More and more onlookers gathered around, and the scene was extremely lively.
"Hehe~" Wu Hui was also half-lying on the solid wood chair, drinking a little wine while experiencing the fun of life in the mortal world. He was in a very good mood. This time, the gambling game entrusted to Jimmy Gaunt and the three Saint-level bosses earned him 30 magic stones, that is, divine crystals. Although it was only the lowest-level divine crystal, it was equivalent to 600 points of divine power.
You know, with the total number of Wu Hui's followers, the power of faith that can be converted into divine power every day is only two or three points. It would take at least half a year to accumulate so much divine power by relying on followers alone.
How could he not be happy when he made so much money from a small bet? However, extra income was an unstable factor. For him, the God of Light, a stable income every day was the most important.
It is for this reason that it is imperative to find the Heart of the Earth this time, otherwise the number of his believers will reach a bottleneck.
Of course, this does not mean that the divine power cannot directly create the Heart of the Earth. It’s just that if one wants to use the divine power to create a treasure of the same level as the Heart of the Earth, the divine power consumed is far beyond what Wu Hui can afford at the moment.
"Wu Hui..." Jimmy Gaunt held back the last word, laughed dryly and said flatteringly, "We agreed in advance that you would give me some as research funding."
Of course, Jimmy had obtained some good things like the Philosopher's Stone before and after, but he consumed some of them and sold some of them in exchange for other resources.
As a result, he, a master of alchemy, couldn't even find half a magic stone on him.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Wu Hui said calmly, "It's just the beginning, there are still semi-finals and finals. The three great masters are all wealthy, so we have to plunder them a lot."
Jimmy Gaunt shuddered all over, surprised and delighted, swallowed his saliva and said weakly: "You mean you won't come again?"
"This is a rare opportunity. I decided to bet it all." Wu Hui leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words, then handed Jimmy a lucky bag and told him to open it when the time comes.
Jimmy Gaunt was more and more shocked as he listened, his face turned pale with fear. Isn't Wu Hui really too brave? However, there was one sentence from that boy that touched him thoroughly, which was that wealth and honor can only be found in danger.
If this vote can really be successful, it is estimated that Jimmy Gaunt will not lack research and development funds in the short term.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Jimmy gritted his teeth, took Wu Hui's tips, and started warming up.
