Chapter 61: A slight reward for someone? No... reward them heavily!

"Dr. Li?"

Su Nian slightly furrowed his brows.

Dr. Li was precisely the person who had communicated with him via phone the previous day and given him numerous precautions.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Beside him, Su Yu turned her small head, having not quite caught Su Nian's low murmur.

"Shh." Su Nian made a silencing gesture. "Someone is calling, keep it down."

"Oh, oh, okay." Su Yu nodded obediently.

Su Nian tapped to answer. "Hello, Dr. Li?"

"Brother Su, please bring the patient over before five o'clock this afternoon to complete some pre-surgery preparations, such as examinations, blood typing and reservation, antibiotic skin tests, and height and weight measurements."

"Do you have time for that?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing that it concerned the surgery, Su Nian didn't dare to show the slightest bit of negligence. "Doctor, would it be better if I head over as early as possible?"

"Good, then I won't disturb you any further."

"Beep."

As the call ended, the glowing light screen before his eyes vanished.

Instantly, Su Nian noticed the slight trembling of Su Yu's delicate body beside him, along with her tightly clenched little fists.

"Don't be afraid." Taking the initiative to hold her small hand, Su Nian said softly, "I will stay with you the whole time, rest assured."

"Mhm..."

Seeing Su Yu nod, Su Nian glanced at the time; it was already two-forty in the afternoon.

He looked at the lovely girl beside him and said, "We can't keep the doctor waiting too long, how about I come pick you up before three?"

Su Yu shook her head. "I'm not a child, why would I need a pick-up? Let's meet at the hospital entrance..."

Even though she was still very scared deep down.

She couldn't let down the man's care and concern!

How about...

Tonight, right before the surgery.

She gives him a tiny, little reward?

Although the day before a craniotomy one should avoid strenuous exercise to prevent intracranial hematoma.

But... Su Yu looked down at her own small hands.

This shouldn't count, right?

Mhm... To heck with it!

"Alright then, let me dig up this treasure map first, and then give Dezu and the others a heads-up."

"Listen to you, let's go."

A short while later, the two plunged into a small grove within Imperial City.

Following the arrow's guidance, Su Nian arrived beside a very short tree.

"Let's hope it doesn't dig up anything too bizarre." Muttering to himself, Su Nian decisively thrust his shovel down.

Yet the moment that shovel went in, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth from the cracks in the soil!

Su Nian: "???"

What the heck?

A direct legendary golden drop?

If he remembered correctly.

His last legendary golden drop.

Was when he rolled the ultra-S-rank talent!

At this thought, Su Nian hurriedly narrowed his eyes to look.

[Successfully used the treasure map. Congratulations on unearthing: Ancient Divine Artifact Nexus.]

[Ancient Divine Artifact Nexus: The core material for upgrading ancient divine artifacts, possessing incalculable value!]

"What the heck?"

The moment he saw this item.

Su Nian completely lost his composure!

Just as the detailed description stated, the future value of the Ancient Divine Artifact Nexus was simply incalculable—it was of priceless, supreme treasure tier!

If during the previous life's feedback period.

Among the tens of billions of people globally.

There were fewer than a thousand red-tier gear pieces in total.

Then the number of people worldwide who possessed ancient divine artifacts and ancient divine sets...

Would definitely not exceed twenty!

And wanting to upgrade a red-tier gear piece into an ancient divine artifact required, aside from the Ancient Divine Artifact Nexus, three other rare materials.

However, those materials could only be obtained once players reached level thirty, hitting the threshold to enter the God-Fall Mountain Range...

The monster levels within the God-Fall Mountain Range had no restrictions, and its overall size was several times that of the Dragon Ancient Kingdom.

Therefore, to describe the level of danger inside without exaggeration... when most players in the previous life reached level fifty,

they only dared to operate on the outer periphery of the mountain range!

Because even within the mixed zones of the mountain range, there were level sixty or seventy mobs and bosses, let alone the core zone.

Probably even an existence of the Destroyer's caliber wouldn't have dared to rashly step foot into the core zone during their lifetime...

"Upgrade quests are imminent!"

Upon seeing this, Su Yu poked her little head over. "Look at that excited look on your face, what good stuff did you dig up?"

"Take a look and you'll know."

Su Nian shared the description panel.

After reading it, Su Yu was slightly stunned. "What's an artifact? Is it even more powerful than red-tier gear? And its value is incalculable... Really or fake?"

Seeing that this girl had zero understanding, Su Nian shook his head helplessly. "You only need to know that the value of this thing is even higher than that talent upgrade card I sold previously!"

"Oh my god!"

Su Yu's pair of beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

Her man really struck gold!

She had to reward him when they got home.

Reward him heavily!

Directly squeeze—

Pfft, pfft, her mind wandered again.

At that moment, Su Nian dotingly pinched Su Yu's little face and smiled, "Alright, let's go. I already notified Dezu and the others on the way to gather at the resurrection altar. We should still say goodbye in person before leaving."

"Let's go then, stop pinching me!"

...

Roughly a few minutes later.

Inside the resurrection altar of the main city.

"Hou Xiaoyu and You Rong Nai Da aren't here yet?"

Seeing only Zhao Dezu sitting alone on the stairs at the entrance of the altar, Su Nian asked uncertainly.

Zhao Dezu stood up, patted his backside, and looked left and right. "Not yet, but they should be arriving any second now."

"By the way, Master, I just remembered, what was that bounty reward you mentioned earlier?"

Saying this, Zhao Dezu scratched his head. "I only knew that the one called Slaughter All Heavens had a bounty on him, but I really have no clue about the rest concerning bounties... Could it be you've accepted quests related to this?"

Seeing Dezu's curious expression, Su Nian didn't offer a lengthy explanation and simply pulled out a mask to wear on his face.

Then, as the ID above his head shifted.

"???"

"Wait, this... huh?"

Zhao Dezu was completely dumbfounded.

Where did his massive master go?

He put on a mask and instantly turned into Slaughter All Heavens?

Rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

The bewilderment on Zhao Dezu's face was gradually replaced by shock, which then morphed into wild ecstasy!

Holy cow!

He just took on a master.

And ended up enjoying the perks of two masters?

This wave meant Zhao Dezu had struck a goldmine!

Right at that moment, Hou Xiaoyu and Yu Yourong arrived at the resurrection altar from different directions.

"Since you're all here, I have something to say."

As Su Nian finished speaking, seeing Zhao Dezu and the others all perk up attentively,

he held Su Yu's small hand and said calmly, "The bounty rewards will probably have to wait until the day after tomorrow, or the day after that."

The three of them were stunned upon hearing this.

Zhao Dezu spoke up first, "Master, what's wrong? These next two days... are you not logging into the game?"

Su Nian nodded. "Xiao Yu and I have some real-life matters to attend to and will be logging off soon. You guys just take on more quests over the next couple of days to level up."

Saying this, he seemed to recall something.

His gaze shifted toward Dezu...
