Chapter 136: Special Item
At this moment, Yu Sheng'an had yet to realize that in the dark forest of the multiverse, he—a hunter who had descended from the skies—had not only brought threats but also new ideologies. More importantly, he was about to trigger a technological explosion for the God of Death!
For now, his focus remained primarily on the war in Kazad-dûm.
After rejecting the "assistance" proposal from the Three Gods of Magic of Keville, the number of guilds in the Conquest of Subdomains skyrocketed overnight, surpassing triple digits—and the count was still rising rapidly.
If the guilds established earlier were mostly casual ventures by noble youths, the newly formed ones now had a clear, aggressive purpose: to plunder Kazad-dûm.
In no time, a flood of mid-to-high-level mages poured into the Conquest of Subdomains. They formed guilds, recruited players, assembled teams, and launched organized, systematic invasions into Kazad-dûm.
Though Yu Sheng'an despised the official granary rats, he was generous to those who played by his rules. After careful consideration, to balance the combat power invested in the Dofi domain, he decided to add a new item to the Conquest shop.
The moment this item appeared, it didn’t just shock the mages of Keville—even the gods across the multiverse who had been secretly observing Yu Sheng'an were left astounded!
……
……
The pride of Kabael, the Genius Archmage of the Du family—Du Qier—was returning!
Once this news was confirmed by the Old Man of the Du family, the entire household erupted into a frenzy. Servants scurried about, busy with deep cleaning and stocking up on ingredients. Even the most carefree second young master of the Du family, Du Duode, dressed himself in exquisite attire, meticulously groomed, and headed to the city’s Magic Tower to welcome his elder brother home.
The grand spectacle of the Du family’s preparations naturally drew the attention of countless residents in Kabael.
Standing outside the Magic Tower, Du Duode watched the bustling scene and felt a twinge of envy deep in his heart. Such treatment was something he could only experience—to a lesser extent—in the Conquest of Subdomains, and even that was only because of his heavy spending.
Sigh…
Don’t be ungrateful. The life I have now is all thanks to my brother. How could I possibly expect the same status and treatment as him?
Du Duode chuckled self-deprecatingly.
But the fact that he could laugh at himself showed he now had the courage to face reality.
Where did this courage come from?
It all traced back to the dungeons opened in Conquest.
Ever since the Internet God declared war on Kazad-dûm, Du Duode had stopped spending money in Conquest. With his brothers, he could now raid Kazad-dûm to break even—or even turn a profit.
This had greatly bolstered his confidence!
Thank the Internet God—I’m not just fooling around anymore, I’m actually making money!
He had even decided to save up for an airship, which he would fly to the remote corners of Kazad-dûm to uphold justice in the name of the Internet God!
Lost in his thoughts, the arched gate of the Magic Tower silently swung open.
Two Archmages clad in Red-Robed stepped out.
One was Kabael’s Pastoral Mage.
The other was none other than Du Duode’s elder brother—the Red-Robed Archmage Du Qier.
Though nearly forty, Du Qier looked remarkably youthful.
Due to his prolonged seclusion for magical research, his skin was exceptionally pale. The red robe symbolizing status and power instantly made him the center of attention in the room.
After bidding farewell to the Pastoral Mage with a hand over his chest, Du Qier finally approached his family. He first paid his respects to his parents in a proper manner, enduring their sighs about how "he’s gotten thinner again," before turning his gaze to his good-for-nothing younger brother—Du Duode.
It had been a long time since Du Duode last saw his brother, and the sudden attention made him inexplicably nervous.
To his surprise, Du Qier wasn’t as stern as before. Instead, he walked over with a smile and affectionately patted Du Duode’s shoulder, asking, "Do you know why I suddenly came back this time?"
Du Duode shook his head blankly.
"Because of you, my dear brother!"
This wasn’t sarcasm—Du Qier’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he spoke, and his hand unconsciously tightened on Du Duode’s shoulder.
Du Duode was stunned.
His parents exchanged bewildered glances.
To be honest, the Du family was already more than satisfied with having a magical prodigy like Du Qier.
As for Du Duode?
They’d be grateful if he just stayed out of trouble.
So why had their youngest, Du Duode, suddenly caught the attention of their eldest, Du Qier?
"Did... something happen?" Du Duode’s parents couldn’t help but ask, fearing their youngest had caused trouble for the eldest again.
"Conquer the Four Directions!" Du Qier laughed.
"What? Conquer the Four Directions?" The Du Family Elders looked at each other in confusion.
"Mom, Dad, you didn’t know? Duode’s player guild, Conquer the Four Directions, earned 60,000 gold coins in Kazad-dûm within a week, ranking first among all guilds. It’s incredible!"
As he praised, Du Qier couldn’t resist patting his brother’s shoulder again.
Du Duode’s face flushed red with excitement.
He had never heard his brother praise him like this before!
The last time his brother had shown even a hint of approval was during the invasion of the Five Great Evil Gods, when Du Duode earned the title of Empire Guardian, and his brother had merely mentioned it in passing.
That could hardly even be called praise—just an acknowledgment that he knew about it.
Yet even that had made Du Duode so excited he couldn’t sleep all night, feeling like he had finally done something worthy of his brother’s attention.
Who would have thought that the latest dungeon update in the Conquest of Subdomains would earn him his brother’s attention—and even praise?
In his eyes, this wasn’t even as glorious as the Empire Guardian title!
"What? 60,000 gold coins?" The Du Family Elders were shocked.
"Did he spend 60,000 gold coins? No, that can’t be—I never gave him that much money!" The Old Man seemed to recall something and glared at Du Mother in frustration. "Did you give money to this troublemaker again?"
Du Mother looked embarrassed.
Yes, Du Duode had indeed asked her for money recently.
She had given in out of soft-heartedness.
Their youngest was the least accomplished and the one she worried about the most.
As long as he didn’t cause trouble, she was already satisfied—what did spending a little money matter?
"Dad, don’t blame Mom! I borrowed the money from her, and I’ll pay it back—I’ll pay it back double!"
Du Duode panicked and quickly spoke up.
Before the Old Man could flare up in anger, Du Qier quickly interjected, "Dad, you misunderstood. Duode really earned 60,000 gold coins, and he can withdraw them from the Interconnected Bank anytime! Duode, didn’t you tell Mom and Dad?"
"No. After distributing the money to my brothers, only a little over 20,000 gold coins remained," Du Duode replied.
As his words fell, the Du Family Elders exchanged stunned glances.
Even if only 20,000 gold coins were left, that was no small sum!
The Pastoral Mage, who had lingered, stepped forward with an expression of astonishment.
"Du Qier, so your brother is the guild leader of Conquer the Four Directions? Ah, as the guardian of this city, I was unaware—what a dereliction of duty! Guild Leader Du Duode, I’ve long admired your reputation! My younger brother also founded a guild called Victors’ Guild in Conquer. You should exchange insights when you have the chance."
The Pastoral Mage’s words only deepened the Du family’s shock.
Not just the elders, even the surrounding servants stared at Du Duode with disbelief.
In their minds, Du Duode had always been just a spoiled young master relying on his elder brother’s influence.
They might have feared him, but none had ever truly respected him.
Only a handful of servants who had followed Du Duode in his mischief now lifted their chins with pride, basking in reflected glory.
"Ah, child, why didn’t you tell us you’d earned money?" Du Mother exclaimed, both surprised and delighted, overjoyed that her youngest son finally seemed to be making something of himself.
"I was saving up to buy an airship, so I didn’t mention it," Du Duode said, his heart aching slightly at his mother’s excitement.
"A fine ambition! No need to save—I came back this time intending to sponsor you with 200,000 gold coins! If we brothers are buying, we’re getting the best," Du Qier declared firmly.
"What? 200,000 gold coins?"
The Du family was dumbstruck. Before the elders could press further, Du Qier waved them off.
"This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go home and discuss it in detail."
With that, after bidding farewell to the Pastoral Mage, he slung an arm around his brother’s shoulders and led him toward the carriage.
Once seated inside, Du Duode couldn’t hold back. "Brother, you’re really planning to buy the best airship?"
"Of course!"
"But won’t the cost be too high?"
"High risk, high reward!" Du Qier lowered his voice. "Did you see the new item in Conquer’s item shop this morning?"
"This morning?" Frowning slightly, Du Duode pulled up the internet and opened the Conquer Forum to check.
—The pinned post was updated daily with the latest Conquer content.
"You mean… Source Essence?" Du Duode scanned the information before looking up hesitantly.
"Exactly!" Du Qier’s eyes burned with fervor. "Do you know what it does?"
Du Duode shook his head.
"It strengthens the soul! In other words, it can alter your innate talent—letting you return to the path of magic!"
At those words, Du Duode’s pupils dilated in shock!
