Chapter 134: Spend Money Like Water
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo and Luo Huan chatted for a while.
“Su Mo, I’m busy right now, let’s have a good chat some time later!” Luo Huan said in a flirtish manner, enchanting and captivating.
She even ogled at Su Mo when uttering “have a good chat”.
As the Deacon of Purple Gold Pavilion, Luo Huan was of course heavily engaged.
Uh!
Su Mo was flirted to a daze by Luo Huan’s leer, and then said, “Okay, talk some time later. I gotta go now.”
Su Mo, together with Li Feng, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu, immediately went on to the elixir area.
“Does the woman have a crush on me?”
Su Mo spontaneously thought in narcissism on the way.
“Senior Brother Su Mo, that woman looks very pretty. Who’s she?” Li Feng curiously asked.
“Her name’s Luo Huan. She’s the the leader of Purple Gold Pavilion in my hometown,” Su Mo said.
“Luo Huan?”
Li Feng looked surprised at Su Mo’s reply.
Even Niu Xiaohu and Zhou Xin were surprised.
Having seen their countenances, So Mo felt puzzled and asked, “Why? Do you know her?”
“Sure! Though we haven’t met her before, her name’s very well-known.”
Li Feng excitedly answered and added, “She’s well-known as one of the Four Beauties in Gale Island!”
“One of the Four Beauties?”
Su Mo asked in amazement and added, “Why have I not heard of her?”
Bang!
Li Feng staggered and almost fell down after hearing what Su Mo said.
“Senior Brother Su Mo, you’re too obsessed with your cultivation. Either you’re out for missions or in seclusion. You’re too ill-informed!” Li Feng said and forced a smile.
“Oh!”
Su Mo nodded at Li Feng for he knew he was indeed uninformed.
Everyday, other than working on his cultivation, Su Mo did nothing else.

“Senior Brother Su Mo, it has been said that the Four Beauties of Gale Island were all unworldly gorgeous and each has distinct characteristics… ”
Speaking of beauties, Li Feng began to salivate and talk endlessly.
“Stop, stop! Li Feng, don’t waste time on trifles, your priority should be on cultivation!”
Su Mo immediately interrupted him with a frown and added, “It’s futile for you to chase after any cutie if you don’t have matching strength!”
“Oh!”
Li Feng nodded after hearing Su Mo’s words.
He knew fairly well Su Mo had made a good point. Even if there were countless beauties, his unqualified strength would hit no one’s fancy.
Soon the four reached the area for elixir exchange.
Li Feng and Zhou Xin respectively asked for four bottles of Medium Lv 2 Elixirs.
These cost Su Mo more than 3,000 contribution points.
Li Feng and Zhou Xin would have their strength boosted in a short time with the aid of these elixirs.
Su Mo had intended to get for them some Upper Lv 2 Elixirs.
But Li Feng and Zhou Xin decisively rejected his idea.
Only at Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm, they could not digest Upper Lv 2 Elixirs at all and would possibly die of body-bursting if they went ahead to take the pills.
It was already an extravagance for them to have Medium Lv 2 Elixir!
Su Mo still exchanged two bottles of elixirs for Niu Xiaohu even though he did not ask for it.
Su Mo spent altogether less than 5,000 contribution points for the elixirs of the three.
Su Mo also needed to exchange some resources for himself.
First, Su Mo exchanged four bottles of elixirs, all of which were Upper Lv 2 Elixirs, worth 13,000 contribution points.
Next, he went to exchange Beast Souls.
Beast Souls were Su Mo’s indispensable resources for each exchange.
“Please give me 1,000 Beast Soul Crystals of Class 7 Lv 2,” Su Mo said at the counter for Beast Soul exchange.

He was so generous that he did not even ask about the price.
The man at the counter was a dumpy old man and might be an elder or a Deacon.
“1,000?” the old man asked in surprise.
“Why? Short of goods?” Su Mo asked with a frown at the old man’s expression.
The old man soon reacted to Su Mo’s question and said, “Beast Soul Crystals of Class 7 Lv 2 are in short supply. There are only 400 left. You can choose Soul Crystals of other ranks,” the old man said and looked at Su Mo in doubt.
One thousand Beast Soul Crystals of Class 7 Lv 2 were enough for two years’ use by a Pill-refining Master or Tool-forging Master of Upper Lv 2.
“Is he a new disciple under any master in Gale Island? Is he here to exchange Soul Crystals for his master?” the old man thought.
“Well!”
Su Mo muttered and said, “I’ll take all the 400 Soul Crystals of Class 7 Lv 2, and please pack for me 1,000 Soul Crystals of Class 6 Lv 2.”
“Okay, wait a moment.”
The old man took out several storage pouches from under the counter and selected one of them for Su Mo.
“You can check it now.”
Su Mo took the storage pouch, roughly checked for a while, and then picked it up.
“How many contribution points do they cost?” Su Mo asked the old man.
“The price of the 400 Soul Crystals of Class 7 Lv 2 is 32,000 contribution points, and the 1,000 Soul Crystals of Class 6 Lv 2 cost 35,000 contribution points, totaling 67,000 contribution points.”
Just then…
Hiss!
They heard a gasp.
Li Feng, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu were all dumbfounded.
The Soul Crystals were too expensive!
“Just one purchase costs Su Mo more than 60,000 contribution points?”
“He’s a black sheep indeed!”
“He spends money like water!”
The three men inwardly grumbled.
Su Mo, however, was not surprised. Beast Soul Crystals of this rank and quantity would cost more than 60,000 contribution points.
Besides, Purple Gold Hall, as the inner hall of Gale Island would not cheat its disciples.
Su Mo gave his jade identification badge to the old man, paid accordingly and then wandered around Purple Gold Hall.
More than 10,000 contribution points were left, and he was seeing what else he would need.
He was not short of cultivation methods, martial arts techniques or elixir.
What he wanted to exchange was a better sword.
The gem-encrusted long sword he used was only of Medium Lv 2. After rounds of fights in Guanwu City, breaches could be seen on its sword blade.
Furthermore, the sword would not withstand his strength before long due to his continuous progress.
Even if Su Mo possessed a Spirit-slayer Sword, he could not use it at will.
If he had used a weapon for martial artists of the True Spirit Realm, it would catch the attention of others.
Only when he at least reached the high level of Spiritual Martial Realm, that is, Level Seven of the Spiritual Martial Realm, could he feel free to use it.
Su Mo went to the counter for weapon exchange.
Looking up, he saw various weapons hanging on the frame behind the counter.
The weapon frame was full of knives, swords, spears, axes, lances and other types of weapons, all in a dazzling array of exhibits.
“Junior Brother, what weapon do you want?”
A thin youth of 27 or 28 years old stood behind the counter.
The youth hurried forward to Su Mo and asked with a smile.
“I need a sword of Upper Lv 2!” Su Mo answered.

My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe...
Xavier had a happy, humdrum life: normal friendships, a normal girlfriend, a somewhat oddball family. Until, that is, he literally stumbled through the fourth wall and discovered he was the protagonist of a manga. Now he's scrambling to maintain any semblance of control over his own life in the face of something he never imagined he would need to contend with: the power of the Genre. Hello, E.O. Tenkey here; thank you for your interest in "Not A Manga"! This was my first serial novel, and I hope you enjoy Xavier's predicament! Familiarity with manga not required (though it can't hurt)! I look forward to exploring the bounds of the Genre with you. (First volume is rated PG-13 for comic mayhem and light profanity—these are high school students, after all. Second volume is rated PG-13 to R for some violence and similar levels of profanity. Tags may or may not contain spoilers.)

The Edgars
A serial killer is wreaking havoc in a small European village, and Charles Edgar believes his estranged brother to be the culprit. But little does he know that a much darker truth lies behind the bloodshed; one that will bring betrayal and destruction to the entire Edgar lineage. (This is a one-act play. A (beat) indicates a pause in the dialogue.) Also, please feel free to rip this story apart in the reviews (if you're so inclined). I really want to improve as a writer, so any criticisms are more than welcomed.

Polly and Drake
Drake has been searching for a job as a personal guard, but wherever he turns, he is kicked out without fail. It's not that he's terrible with weapons, or inattentive. It could be because of his obvious racial heritage. Or because of Polly. With his funds dwindling, the only remaining option is to become one of the Cursed: poor souls that work for the Dragoneye Guild. In other lands, they may be called adventurers, saviors or even heroes, but not in the White Desert. Here, they are shunned and ignored. Depraved people who forsook their humanity for money and fame. With this choice, Drake may not only fall from grace, but also become one of only a few thousands capable of unearthing the secrets of ancient times. If he could get this guardsman notion out of his head. May contain gore, violence, profanity and traumatising content. Taking another shoot at this writing business. I write for fun and when I have time. There is no plan. The story may change drastically from what it starts out - or not. We'll see what happens. Currently, I'm aiming for a Slice of Life with LitRPG elements at a later time.
