Chapter 1187 - 1185: Arrangements for the Contracted Puppet
Yaliduvi Tower, except for Shaya, all of Gu Xi’s Contracted Undead were gathered together, and standing before them was the Contracted Puppet Jade, faceless and indistinguishable in gender.
After taking a glance up and down at Jade, Eldest Princess Anna then turned to look at Gu Xi.
"My lord, Jade’s situation is actually very good; he is like a Contracted Undead born with an Orange Armor, with limitless potential.
Directly sending him to Li Yufang would not only teach him nothing, but also hinder his growth.
I know you want Jade to grow unnoticed and act as our hidden ace.
But upgrades aren’t done like this.
I believe the most suitable place for Jade to upgrade is in the dungeon."
"Agreed!" Luna nodded in response.
"Or perhaps study Mind Magic with me over at the Magic District." Eve mumbled to the side.
"What do you think?"
Gu Xi glanced at Jade.
Becoming a Contracted Puppet, Jade’s status was equivalent to Gu Xi’s Contracted Undead.
However, Gu Xi hadn’t assigned any tasks to Jade, as her task direction was somewhat different.
At that moment, Jade pondered seriously before slowly speaking.
Her voice was somewhat mechanical, almost pausing between each word, with each word timed precisely, almost breaking up phrases.
"With my current low level, I cannot fully utilize many capabilities, and newly joined, I can’t coordinate with others, my combat capability only reaches thirty to fifty percent of its potential.
I hope to rapidly improve my level and collaborate with the strongest soldiers in battle."
"I understand."
Upon hearing Jade’s intentions, Gu Xi immediately understood, "You should first join the barracks to undertake battle missions and gain experience, don’t go to Li Yufang for now.
After three months when my tasks are complete, I’ll take you to the real world.
Then you must raid the dungeon alone for me."
Upon hearing Gu Xi’s arrangement, Jade nodded in agreement.
As a Contracted Puppet, battle was his vocation.
Moreover, he was naturally suited for combat; whatever the situation he encountered, survival was certain.
Dungeon raids yielded more experience, and completing dungeon tasks earned greater rewards.
Didn’t Gu Xi raid a dungeon over a thousand Chapters, repeatedly conquering it, turning a dungeon into a guild raid, bestowing the Lord titles on many under Eldest Princess Anna?
It was evident how much the dungeon had aided Gu Xi.
Sending Jade into the dungeon also met Gu Xi’s requirements.
Rapidly enhancing Jade’s combat power, allowing him to become familiar with and integrate into Gu Xi’s combat system, effectively keeping him hidden, unknown to others.
Should Gu Xi continually discover different dungeons, Jade would naturally not mind staying inside to raid them.
Gu Xi had his own plans too.
He had only experienced one dungeon, but it was a level 5 to 10 dungeon, each time guaranteed a Purple Armor drop.
Regarding Jade’s status, Purple Armor could be equipped almost limitlessly.
Raiding dungeons could not only boost Jade’s level, but also provide him with various equipment, enhancing different combat strategies.
This was a sensible growth path for Jade.
Now that Jade has agreed.
Gu Xi no longer needed to elaborate.
"Eldest Princess Anna, I entrust Jade’s arrangements to you, first elevate his level, as for equipment.
Jade, do not change weapons with your hands anymore.
Head to the warehouse to select suitable weapons and equipment."
Upon hearing Gu Xi’s arrangement, Jade nodded in agreement.
Such matters required no extensive explanation, just a simple instruction sufficed.
"Then let’s leave it at that for now, I have matters to attend to and cannot stray far.
When this task is complete, we’ll find a place to hide and head directly to the real world.
Perfect, there’s nine months remaining, I can consider pursuing a master’s degree or something."
With that, Gu Xi left swiftly.
Jade also departed from Yaliduvi Tower, heading towards the warehouse to choose weapons and equipment as Gu Xi had instructed.
Compared to the information Gu Xi saw from the Attributes, Jade naturally understood himself better.
His required equipment fell into two categories: regular equipment and embedding items.
Regular equipment consisted of various weaponry and armors.
Though belonging to the Diamond Puppet category, no one ever said Diamond Puppets couldn’t wear armor, right?
Thus Jade, like Luna and others, could wear various gear.
However, Jade was less picky, wearing whatever was available.
Embedding items referred to those mentioned in special traits, embedded onto Jade, directly achieving Purple Quality.
Such as Jade’s yet unembedded eyes, replaceable organs, mechanisms within the body, and others.
Anything embedded within Jade’s body counted.
Due to this special trait, Jade placed no demand for Purple Quality items; those embedding into his body with special functions were significant.
Jade planned to follow Gu Xi’s advice to pick at the warehouse.
It should be noted that such items were plentiful now.
Weekly pea artifacts from the Library, daily refreshed goods at the Witch’s House, Gu Xi had people collecting them.
Upon purchasing, Gu Xi never concerned himself with price.
Not bothering with Attributes either, purchasing indiscriminately.
For Gu Xi, this was minor expenses.
Missing out on valuable items due to minor expenses would be a huge loss.
Purchased items were classified on the same day, entirely stored in the warehouse; those with similar attributes or functions were grouped.
With daily acquisitions, the warehouse was piled high with such artifacts.
Jade, as Gu Xi’s Contracted Puppet, holds status equal to Luna and others.
This time Jade visited the Magic Warehouse located in the Magic District.
Upon seeing Jade arrive, the warehouse administrator immediately greeted him.
"My lord, what do you require?"
"I just spoke with Luna, she said all fairytale artifacts produced from the Library, and various artifacts bought at the Witch’s House, are stored here, I’m here to take a look."
"My lord, you’ve come to the right place; our Magic Warehouse specifically serves the Magic District.
Housing various materials and products from the Magic District.
Both the Library and Witch’s House are Magic District buildings, all artifacts are meticulously selected and stored here.
Even that lord occasionally visits to pick useful artifacts.
My lord, what do you desire? I can introduce them to you."
