Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 176 - 174: I’ll Lend It to You, But You Have to Return It!

Chapter 176: Chapter 174: I’ll Lend It to You, But You Have to Return It!

Before this, Su Mo took out a scarlet gourd from his System Space.

This gourd was the one that Tu Hongwu had given him not long ago.

The function of the gourd is very simple, it can absorb the corpses of alien races and turn them into drinkable liquor.

This liquor, when consumed by low-level professionals, can cure ailments or strengthen the body if there are none.

The higher the grade of the corpse, the stronger the effect of the liquor.

The Divine Level being I just killed is one of the best raw materials.

Targeting this headless alien corpse, Su Mo opened the mouth of the gourd, and the next moment, the scarlet gourd floated straight into the air.

A blood-red light enveloped the corpse, which gradually became transparent until it disappeared.

Initially, when Mr. Gongsun Mu saw Su Mo take out the wine gourd, he thought he was going to take a sip, and he even planned to step forward and take a sip himself.

Then he saw Su Mo aim the mouth of the gourd at the corpse, wanting to absorb it, and hurriedly shouted in panic, "Hey, wait a moment, what are you doing, kid?"

Hearing the voice, Su Mo turned around in confusion and looked at Mr. Gongsun Mu, "Isn’t this what you said, that we can turn alien corpses into liquor? I’m just testing its efficacy."

"What a waste, such a waste, these Divine Level alien bones and flesh are top-notch materials, and you just absorbed them like that?

Can’t you remove those valuable materials first and then absorb them?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo hurriedly tried to grab the floating gourd, but after the blood-colored light enveloped the Divine Level alien corpse, it quickly sucked it into the gourd.

Even if Su Mo managed to retrieve the gourd, it was already too late.

Seeing this, Mr. Gongsun Gongsun was so angry he blew his beard and glared his eyes.

He kept muttering, "Such a waste, such a waste..."

Holding the gourd, Su Mo was also helpless, "Well, now that it’s already absorbed, can it be released back, or is there a way to remedy this?"

"Ah, never mind, with all these good things absorbed, it might make a good bottle of wine, it’s just a shame for those materials."

"Uh~"

Su Mo was speechless for a moment, then thought about all the Kings he had previously slain; maybe those could be absorbed too.

But when he turned his head, there were no King-level corpses left but a wasteland of ruins.

Those earlier King-level corpses had already been destroyed in the aftermath of the recent battle, leaving nothing but broken limbs.

Thinking that even the legs of a mosquito are still meat, Su Mo handed the gourd to the Enchanting Demon Alice beside him.

"Go and collect all those corpses and such."

The Enchanting Demon Alice dared not resist Su Mo’s words in the slightest, even though those corpses were their subordinates or comrades.

But now, he dared not hesitate, knowing that Su Mo could take his life with a mere thought, and even without the contract, he doubted he could beat him.

Seeing the Enchanting Demon Alice leave with the gourd, Su Mo directly walked toward a Divine Level alien still in a comatose state.

But after walking only a couple of steps, Mr. Gongsun Mu once again spoke: "Hey, hey, hey, kid, what are you doing? Trying to steal credit, huh? Believe it, or not, I’ll whack you with a hammer!"

As he spoke, Mr. Gongsun Mu symbolically waved the Forging Hammer in his hand.

The threat was apparent.

"Come on, Artisan God sir, is there even a thing as stealing credit?"

"Why not? Slaying divine enemies is worth military merits. I’ve been at the rear forging for you guys, hardly earning any military merits. Now I finally get to earn some, and you want to steal my credit?"

Hearing this, Su Mo was at a loss for words, even though he longed for more Assignable Free Attribute Points.

But Mr. Gongsun had already stated that he was using this for military merits, and Su Mo felt bad about seizing it.

As Su Mo was about to give up, he suddenly heard his master Tu Hongwu’s voice in his ear. Looking around, nobody else seemed to have heard it.

Instantly, Su Mo realized his master was speaking to him through telepathy.

"Don’t listen to that old man’s nonsense. What does he mean by not getting any military merits? Every weapon he forges at the back counts for military merits. Among us, he has the most military merits.

His military merits have even turned into a string of numbers. He doesn’t lack materials; whatever he wants, others will provide for him. He doesn’t lack weapons either; as the sole Artisan God of the Human Race, he can easily craft the weapons he needs."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was at a loss as to why Mr. Gongsun was preventing him from striking the final blow, but as he opened his mouth to speak, Tu Hongwu interrupted.

"Don’t talk, just listen; you should have seen earlier, relying on his strength—no, his Forging Hammer—ordinary gods are nothing more than a hammer’s plaything to him.

But he’s been holding off to give you a chance; otherwise, he would have hammered it down long ago.

If you want to steal this kill, just know that the old man’s only hobby is drinking. Got it?"

Hearing this, Su Mo’s eyes lit up. Though liquor brewed from a Divine Level being’s corpse is indeed great and precious, compared to countless Assignable Free Attribute Points, it was nothing.

Once his strength increases and he can slay gods as easily as his master, getting the corpse of a Divine Level alien will be easy.

Thinking of this, Su Mo quickly turned and called Alice back, who was holding the gourd to absorb other alien corpses.

After taking the gourd, Su Mo chuckled awkwardly and walked over to Mr. Gongsun Mu, "Old man, you must be thirsty after hammering for so long, have a sip to quench your thirst."

As he spoke, Su Mo handed over the gourd, and Mr. Gongsun Mu’s previously stern face immediately softened.

He took the gourd eagerly, opened the mouth, and gulped down the liquor.

"You’re a good kid, sensible. Alright, this kill is yours."

Hearing this, Su Mo was overjoyed, just about to finish off the comatose Divine Level alien, when Mr. Gongsun Mu spoke again.

"Using your crappy method, who knows how long it would take, use this instead, catch!"

As he spoke, Mr. Gongsun Mu tossed the Forging Hammer toward Su Mo.

Su Mo’s eyes gleamed; he had seen Mr. Gongsun Mu use this hammer to kill a Divine Level being before. There was no need to elaborate on how potent it was.

At this moment, Mr. Gongsun Mu remembered something and quickly added, "I’m just lending it to you for a bit, make sure to return it after use!"
