Lein and Nita looked at the list of exchangeable items on the scrolling screen.
[Contribution Points Exchange]
- Silver Badge: 30,000 points
- Tetan Sword: 17,000 points
- Mountain Armor: 13,000 points
- Damage Talisman: 2000 points
- Purple Stone: 100 points
- Folew Flower: 100 points
- Reu Defense Tower: 19,000 points
- ...
There were thousands more items on the exchange list.
"It seems difficult to get a badge just by doing patrol missions," Lein said, pondering how to earn 30,000 contribution points.
"Come on, let's explore the city first," Nita urged from the side.
"Alright... Alright... Let's go."
They left the war office and started thinking about where to go.
...
"Hehehe... How could I forget a place full of items like this," Lein thought to himself.
They were now at the largest treasure pavilion in the city of Heaven's News.
Tou Pavilion stood tall at the center of Heaven's News, boasting ten floors. Many people were coming in and out of the pavilion.
Most of them were tier-1 and tier-2 beings, with occasional tier-3 individuals appearing with a haughty demeanor. Even though they were at the Golden Core stage, these cultivators could live comfortably in the city.
Not only cultivators, but Faithwardens, Players, and Star Beasts also frequented the pavilion to shop for equipment. Occasionally, someone in human form would emit a powerful dragon aura, indicating a significant background in the cultivation world.
When Lein and Nita entered the first floor, they saw numerous glass displays surrounding the area. The weapons hanging on the walls were equally luxurious and impressive.
"Brother, have you seen that huge bull head?" Nita pointed at the bull helmet hanging on the wall.
(Hell Bull Helmet)
- Level: 25
- Attribute: RES +120, STR +76
- (Breath of Courage): Increases stamina by 25%, increases RES attribute by 25% for 1 minute.
"Yes... A special equipment for Tier-2 rulers," Lein said as he walked towards one of the displays.
Besides the helmet, there were many weapons of various shapes and attributes.
(Murder Staff)
- Level: 35
- Attribute: INT +371, AGI +296
- (Breath of Courage): Releases a massive energy explosion in a 25-meter radius, dealing an additional 200% of total INT damage.
"Welcome to Tou Pavilion. How may I assist you?" a male attendant greeted politely.
"I would like to see the most expensive items in this pavilion," Lein asked directly.
The attendant's expression changed slightly. He thought Lein was being a bit arrogant and ignored him. After all, how could you trust someone who hadn't even reached Tier-2 to make such a bold request?
Seeing the attendant's silence, Lein felt confused.
"Brother... They're not part of the system. They don't even know us," Nita whispered from the side.
"Sorry... Sorry... I was just joking," Lein apologized sincerely. He then took out a bag full of 10,000,000 energy crystals.
The attendant frowned and checked the bag's contents. A wide smile soon appeared on his face.
"Sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you earlier."
Hastily apologizing, the attendant ran to the back to retrieve something.
"Please have a look, sir," the attendant said, presenting a bag full of items.
[Small Bag]
- Intercontinental Ship: 14,000,000 energy crystals
- Advanced Lightning Tower: 8,000,000 energy crystals
- Fu King's Sword +10: 2,500,000 energy crystals
- ...
Lein was interested in all the items except Fu King's Sword. Even so, he bought everything, feeling there was a slight difference between system items and cultivator items.
"What's the total?" Lein asked casually.
Hearing Lein's words, the attendant almost fainted. Did he just catch a big fish? Even with a 1% commission, he would profit greatly.
"Sorry, sir, I can't handle such a large transaction. I need to call Elder Wan," the attendant said, heading to the back to fetch someone.
Soon, an old man in a white robe appeared.
[Status]
Name: Wan Lu
Race: Cui Race
Power Core: Cultivator
Level: ???.
"Demon!!!! Someone above a master?" Lein and Nita were shouting in their hearts. Their hearts were pounding.
"Young friends, sorry to keep you waiting."
Elder Wan was very friendly, not emitting the slightest pressure.
"Hahaha... It's no problem, Elder Wan," Lein could only laugh nervously.
"No need to worry. I'm just doing some routine checks," Elder Wan said, scanning Lein's entire body with his gaze.
Lein felt completely defenseless under Elder Wan's examination, standing still as if being searched without clothes.
"Good, you may proceed with the transaction at Tou Pavilion."
Lein felt relieved hearing Elder Wan's words. He worried his talent might be discovered, not about the system's existence.
"Then, I'll leave it to you, Elder Wan."
Lein handed over a bag containing 67,000,000 energy crystals to Elder Wan. In return, Elder Wan gave him a bag with seven items.
"Hahaha, young master Lein is very straightforward," Elder Wan laughed, having checked the bag's contents and found the value matched the agreement.
"May I ask if young master Lein is interested in another deal?"
Lein hadn't expected Elder Wan to offer another deal. He was a bit cautious but nodded in agreement.
"Well... What do you think, young friend? Are you interested?"
Elder Wan took out a round object with strange writing and a portal image inside.
[Multi-Space Portal]
Forms a dimensional path between spaces. Maximum distance: 10 spaces (1 space = 1,000 trillion km).
Lein's eyes widened at the item before him.
"1 trillion km?" Lein thought to himself. 10 spaces mean approximately 10 trillion kilometers. Isn't this distance almost the same as the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy? What kind of existence is capable of creating a device with such a vast teleportation range?
"What do you think?" Elder Wan asked, seeing Lein's interest.
"How many energy crystals are needed to exchange for it, Elder Wan?"
A small smile appeared on Elder Wan's face.
"This portal cannot be exchanged for energy crystals. It requires 5 Blessing Potions."
Elder Wan continued to smile warmly, waiting patiently.
In contrast to Elder Wan's calm demeanor, Lein's heart was pounding. Nita was no exception.
