Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 52 Kid, do you want to inherit the Crystal Ball account? (2.3k views, please continue reading)
"If you want these treasures, go find the Thunderstone! I'll be waiting for you here!" The white-bearded old man's eyes were filled with madness, and his voice echoed throughout the surrounding world.

After saying that, his figure disappeared.

The area was silent for a moment, but soon a cacophony of voices rose from it:

"Let's go."

"Go find Thunderstone!"

"..."

Luo Feng remained motionless, wanting to know Chen Qi's next instructions, what he was to do, and whether he would also go to collect 'Thunderstone'.

"Luo Feng, leave here first and go with 'Hong' and 'Thor' to find the Thunderstone. I'll tell you what to do next later."

Chen Qi remembered that this white-bearded old man, 'Master Mist,' was a pervert.

Furthermore, he could observe a certain area around the castle, so Luo Feng's 'Soul Devouring Beast' clone was meant to disguise itself as someone else outside that area and then use Thunderstones to purchase items...

"it is good."

Luo Feng responded and then prepared to leave.

"Sir, please wait a moment." A ninth-level Stellar Realm expert flew over from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Judging from his previous position, he should be a powerful figure in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire whose status is second only to 'Brolin'.

Luo Feng frowned. Could it be that these guys were going to cause him trouble? Knowing that he had Manluo as his backer, they still dared to go against him?

"whats the matter?"

“My name is Satchison. I’m here to deliver a message to you. My prince said that if you encounter any trouble, you can contact us immediately. The men of Black Dragon Mountain will come to your rescue as soon as possible.” Satchison said with a friendly expression.

Luo Feng said:

"okay, I get it."

"Mr. Luo Feng, now that we've left the Realm Within a Realm, we'll have a chance to talk in detail again!" In the distance, Ninth Prince Brolin waved from afar, looking friendly.

The next moment, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen left.

Chen Qi, inside the system space, was quite surprised to see that the same realm within a realm had completely different future directions.

He remembered that in the original story, this 'Brolin' wasn't so polite.

Now, in this timeline, Luo Feng has Manluo as his backer, and even the arrogant and domineering Brolin has started to curry favor with him.

As the Ninth Prince Brolin watched Luo Feng's departing figure, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he reverted to his usual sullen and sour look.

He said to Satchison:

"Spread the word, and make sure no one offends Luo Feng."

"We still have to try to comply with everything."

"As long as we befriend this person and prevent him from using Lord Manluo's background as an excuse to cause trouble, then he will pose no threat in the competition for the inheritance crystal ball account. He only has a few scattered individuals; how many thunderstones can he possibly mine?"

"The triple account with the inherited crystal ball is more valuable than all other treasures combined."

"We must get it into our hands!"

“Yes, Your Highness,” Satchison replied respectfully.

Chen Qi didn't hear these words. If he had, he would have just smiled to himself and would never have fought with Brolin for those three accounts.

Who cares?

That's nothing but a hoax concocted by the monstrous intelligent life form 'Lord Mist'.

As Luo Feng left, various organizations sent messages saying that their leaders were willing to help and protect him, and that he could contact them if needed.

but
Not a single person offered to help him find the Thunderstone.

"Luo Feng, these guys are all terrified of Lord Manluo!" Thor saw it clearly and naturally understood what was going on.

Luo Feng said:

"Lord Manluo is no ordinary immortal; she is a member of the 'Virtual Universe Company' and works at the 'Qianwu Branch.' Naturally, these organizations of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire dare not provoke her."

"However, they didn't mention Thunderstone at all."

"That means they are actually just afraid of Lord Manluo behind me. They are afraid that I will use Lord Manluo's background to give orders to them and demand Thunderstone. Therefore, they all treat me like an ancestor and try to please me."

"It makes me feel embarrassed to use my connections to cause trouble for them." "That's exactly right."

Hong understood this very well.

The three of them were like the only 'adventurers' in this world, and no one dared to disturb them...

Chen Qi was happy to do so, as his goal was to use the treasure to pay off his loan.

After a period of time.

The Soul-Devouring Beast clone, disguised as a Stellar-level adventurer, is heading towards Thunder Castle, where items can be exchanged.

"Luo Feng, this is the list of items I asked you to exchange."

Chen Qi listed the items, which basically included all the valuable treasures that could be exchanged from 'Lord Mist'.

He left the trivial, worthless items to the adventurers.

Among those treasures, the difference in value between the precious and the worthless ones is enormous; some are merely weapons made of primal force, which are not particularly valuable.

Valuable items are tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of times more valuable than less valuable items...

He and Luo Feng ate the meat, leaving the adventurers with the scraps!

"Shouldn't we exchange those three accounts with the inheritance crystal balls?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask. No matter how you looked at it, those three accounts were the most valuable, right?
Chen Qi said decisively:
"No change."

How will we have fun if we change it?
Those accounts are just a bunch of silly things created by the psychopathic AI being 'Master Mist' to play with people; they're useless even if you redeem them.

Luo Feng asked a few more questions, puzzled.

After learning the truth, I couldn't help but feel a chill; that 'old man with the white beard' was a real swindler!

Those organizations went to great lengths to gather Thunderstone.

The white-bearded old man would also try to distribute the account among several factions, watching them fight and trade, and in the end, whoever got the account would get nothing.

"Those few truly precious treasures will be enough to pay off the remaining balance of the loan..."

The remaining balance of the loan is worth only about a dozen mixed units.

Actually, exchanging some items would have been enough to repay the debt, but Chen Qi still planned to clear out and take away any treasures that caught his eye!

Chen Qi intended for Luo Feng to openly exchange for the "Lightning Secret Technique," which truly contained the inheritance of "Lord Mist" and "Lord Kabu." Since Lord Mist was hidden within it, Chen Qi didn't want that guy to know that the "Soul Devouring Domain Beast" belonged to Luo Feng.

The system does not accept secret manuals for loan repayments.

Chen Qi didn't have time to let Luo Feng obtain the inheritance of a Realm Lord, which couldn't compare to the inheritance of the Meteorite Star Master.

With the new credit limit increase, equivalent to the value of several immortal corpses of the Mechanical Race, Luo Feng wasn't short of those measly sums.

We can just hand it over to Thor when the time comes.

The Soul-Devouring Beast disguised itself as a Stellar-level adventurer and infiltrated the group exchanging items, thus entering 'Thunder Castle'.

The shopping has begun.

He arrived so early, and several treasures had already been exchanged.

"I want this, this, this..." The Soul Devouring Beast Luo Feng transformed into a strong and robust man, whose true identity was a member of the Hundred Tiger Tower.

Lord Mist looked at the exchange quantity with some curiosity.
But seeing that the person in front of him had actually produced a huge amount of Thunderstone, he widened his eyes and said, "Kid, I can tell you're from the Hundred Tigers Tower. Is this all the Thunderstone your entire organization has gathered?"

"Sir, didn't you only want the Thunderstone? Do you even need to ask about its origin?" Luo Feng didn't want to explain further.

"Fine, don't tell me then." 'Lord Mist' said lazily. Anyway, he didn't care about those treasures. He only cared about who he would go with when he hid in the auxiliary computer, and how to distribute the No.1 inheritance crystal ball account to more factions.

Let them fight!

Thinking of this, Lord Wu suddenly felt that giving an account to the Hundred Tigers Tower behind this kid wouldn't be bad, so he coaxed him, saying:

"Boy."

"Don't you want to pass on the Crystal Ball account?"

"Since you're the first one with so many Thunderstones, I can give you a discount!"
