Jiang Han stared at the scene in front of her with a dumbfounded expression.
Not far away, Pang Yong's body was embedded in the wall. His eyes were wide open, and there was still a look of disbelief and fear on his face.
A gentle breeze blew past, and a few pieces of gravel fell to the ground. The crisp sound of the gravel breaking into pieces woke Lin Lichuan up from his thoughts.
He looked at his fist and then at Pang Yong on the wall. He was stunned. He didn't expect that Pang Yong, who looked so arrogant, would die without even being able to take a punch from him.
Was this guy strong in appearance but weak in reality, or was the power of One Bone too strong?
After a long while, Lin Lichuan suppressed the surprise in his heart and slowly withdrew his fist. He glanced at Jiang Han not far away and quickly walked to Pang Yong's body. He reached out and searched his body. Not long after, he found an exquisitely crafted ochre wooden box. He opened it and saw that it was covered with soft light gray cotton wool. In the middle of it was a stone the size of a thumb.
"This is the convertible currency?"
A trace of doubt flashed across Lin Lichuan's face. He reached out and picked up the stone. In the next second, an exclamation mark appeared in the lower right corner of his vision. After clicking on it, a line of text popped up.
"Convertible currency detected. Do you want to exchange?"
Without hesitation, Lin Lichuan directly chose to exchange. The moment he confirmed the exchange, he keenly felt that the stone in his hand seemed to have become lighter. When he clicked on the personal interface, he found that the value in the crystal column had become 1.
"Only this little?"
Lin Lichuan frowned. However, when he thought that 1 crystal was enough to upgrade to VIP1, his eyebrows slowly relaxed.
"Forget it. It's already a pleasant surprise to get 1 crystal. The most important thing is to figure out what this convertible currency is."
Lin Lichuan looked at the stone for a moment and suddenly remembered that Jiang Han was beside him. He quickly turned to look at the girl and showed her the stone in his hand. He deliberately asked in a vague voice, "Do you know what this is?"
Jiang Han had been staring at Lin Lichuan in a daze. She had not recovered from the shock of the latter killing the martial artist in one hit. She subconsciously answered in a daze.
"Stone."
"…" Lin Lichuan was speechless. Wasn't this girl supposed to be a top student? Why did it seem like there was something wrong with her head?
Seeming to have realized her mistake, Jiang Han's pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Sorry, I don't know what this is either."
Lin Lichuan couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment and simply crushed the stone. In the end, after carefully examining it, he found that there was nothing but stone dust inside.
Although he was a little disappointed, he was not surprised. Judging from the situation just now, the Grim Reaper must have absorbed some substance that could be used as a 'convertible currency', so naturally, only ordinary stones were left.
"Your Excellency, you …" Jiang Han had just opened her mouth to speak when she saw Lin Lichuan turn around and leave without hesitation.
After a slight pause, she hurriedly chased after him. As soon as she ran out of the park entrance, she saw a figure flash at the end of the street. The mysterious man had already disappeared into the night.
"Who the hell is he?"
Jiang Han looked in the direction where Lin Lichuan left, her face full of doubt. "To be able to kill a martial artist in one hit, could it be that he has truly stepped into the Transcendence Realm?"
.....
After quickly returning home and closing the door, Lin Lichuan couldn't wait to call out the light frame. He clicked on the cultivation interface and decisively used 1 crystal to upgrade his VIP level.
The preciousness and importance of crystals was self-evident. However, at the current stage, it could only be used to upgrade his VIP level. If he wanted to use it to draw cards, he would have to wait until he reached VIP2.
As the crystal was consumed, the image on the light frame instantly changed.
'Status: Cultivating (2 points/hour)'
'VIP1 can obtain 2 strengthening points per hour. Upgrading to VIP2 requires 10 crystals.'
"10 crystals, huh? There's still a long way to go."
Lin Lichuan sighed lightly. He didn't know when he would be able to gather 10 crystals. VIP2 could be said to be far away in the future.
However, he quickly became excited again. Now that his cultivation efficiency had doubled, he could obtain 2 strengthening points per hour. In one day, he would be able to obtain 48 strengthening points. He only needed to save for about 4 days to obtain the strengthening points needed to upgrade his Reiatsu.
He could foresee that in the next month, his strength would inevitably usher in a leap.
"I almost forgot, there's still the shop!"
Lin Lichuan suddenly slapped his forehead and hurriedly opened the shop interface.
After upgrading to VIP1, the shop was officially opened.
The light frame flashed, and soon a list popped up. On the list, there were densely packed text descriptions and pictures.
'Imitation Shallow Strike: An excellent weapon forged by Imitation Shallow Strike. It does not have the unlimited development ability of the Zanpakuto. It is only suitable for low-level combat. Price: 20 strengthening points.'
'Surveillance Bacteria: A special tool invented by the Technology Development Bureau. It can be attached to another person's body to monitor the other person and the surrounding situation without being discovered. Valid for 30 days. Price: 30 strengthening points.'
'Miniature Spirit Transformation Bead Core: A special hardened spirit particle wall generating device. Its volume is one-tenth of the original. It is only the size of an egg. After injecting Reiatsu, it can temporarily form a hard protective shield to resist any physical or spiritual attacks. Its defensive power depends on the total amount of Reiatsu injected. Maintaining the protective shield and resisting attacks requires continuous consumption of Reiatsu. Price: 100 strengthening points.
Note: Once the Reiatsu is unstable, the protective shield will immediately explode, causing great damage to the area outside the shield. At the same time, the bead core will be permanently damaged. Please use with caution. '
'Special Nourishing and Strengthening Potion: After consumption, it can quickly restore physical strength and Reiatsu. Repeated consumption is ineffective. Cooldown time is 24 hours. Price: 1 crystal.'
'Flesh Replenishing Potion: After consumption, it can instantly regenerate damaged parts of the body. Repeated consumption is ineffective. Cooldown time is 72 hours. Price: 5 crystal.'
'Celestial Dazzle: A cloak treasure. After injecting Reiatsu, it can fly in the sky. Price: 8 crystal.'
The dazzling array of goods dazzled Lin Lichuan, and he was slightly excited.
But when his eyes fell on the price of the goods, he couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
Other than the Imitation Shallow Strike, the Surveillance Bacteria, and the Miniature Spiritual Transformation Bead Core, which could be purchased with Strengthening Points, the rest of the products were all priced in Crystal Stones. Moreover, the products after the Celestial Dazzle were all question marks.
Lin Lichuan tried to focus his mind on the question marks, but a prompt popped up. 'Insufficient authority, unlocked after upgrading to VIP2.'
"Everything really needs VIP." Lin Lichuan shook his head. "And the prices are too expensive."
Not to mention that he didn't have any extra crystal on hand, even if he did, he wouldn't spend it on goods. Although these things had excellent effects, they were still too extravagant for him at the moment.
The most important thing now was to upgrade to the VIP level as soon as possible and then draw the Zanpakuto.
"But the first three goods can be purchased." Lin Lichuan glanced at the list.
The Imitation Shallow Beating was definitely a must. This way, he could start practicing Kendo.
Although White Beating was powerful, his main combat weapon in the future would undoubtedly be the Zanpakuto. The practice of Kendo was indispensable, so if he could get his hands on a sword as soon as possible, he would have to do it as soon as possible.
As for a powerful life-saving item like the Miniature Spiritual Transforming Bead Core, he would naturally buy it if he had the energy to spare. However, the price was slightly more expensive. 100 Strengthening Points were enough for him to upgrade Bao Ba to Level 3, or upgrade his Kendo to Level 2 in one go.
As for the Surveillance Bacteria, it might play an unexpected role in some situations, so he could buy it when he needed it.
