I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

The Star Fate system basically gives players a high-level buff like "a god descending to earth" or "a deity reincarnated."

There are also all sorts of overpowered skills and passive abilities.

Judging by the strength of Ximen Qing's only three skills.

Even in this world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, the strength of "Star Destiny" is that of a mythical giant with immense prestige, directly unlocking the easy difficulty!

With such expectations in mind, Ximen Qing looked at the remaining four orbs of light with even greater reverence, silently chanting in his heart.

"It absolutely has to be released! It absolutely has to be released!"

Wow!

Under his expectant gaze, the remaining four orbs of light opened.

"Ma Ling's Gold Bricks"

"Pan Jinlian's Three-Inch Golden Lotus Embroidered Shoes"

"Wu Song's Constable Attire"

"Pang Chunmei (Attendant Card)"

Quiet, extremely quiet.

Looking at the shimmering ball of light in the sky.

Ximen Qing took a deep breath.

"Okay, okay, I knew it!"

I knew it wouldn't be that easy! The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Fortunately, Master Ximen kept a calm mind!

Looking at the two remaining soul points, he turned his attention back to the pile of junk he had found.

"A sleeping potion?"

Exchange! 0.2 Soul Points!

Not bad!

"A foot-wiping cloth, for Li Kui the hell?"

Get out of here! Holy crap? 0.05? Are you fucking discriminating against my Iron Bull brother?

"Song Jiang's broadsword? That must be expensive!"

0.1?

Grass, although it's not very useful, it was still used by the leaders of Liangshan, so it can't be that bad!

"Hua Rong's headband! This should be pretty good!"

As expected! Two Soul Points have been added to the account!

We've made our money back, everyone!

"Ma Ling's gold brick, what is this?"

Hmm? Ximen Qing instinctively tried to retrieve it.

A red light suddenly appeared.

[Magic items cannot be recycled]

"A magic weapon!?" Ximen Qing's eyes widened as he looked at the golden brick floating in the ball of light.

Extract it directly.

It has a heavy feel in your hand, yet it feels as light as a feather when you swing it around.

"Who is Ma Ling? Is there such a person in Water Margin?" Ximen Qing scratched his head.

Perhaps due to the special nature of the gold brick [magic weapon], the system unusually provided a small line of explanation—

Ma Ling, a general under Tian Hu of Hebei, was skilled in the art of swift movement and the art of using golden bricks. He was nicknamed "Divine Steed" and "Little Hua Guang." He had a demonic eye on his forehead that could dodge arrows! He injured more than a dozen heroes, including Lei Heng and Zheng Tianshou, with golden bricks, forcing Lu Junyi to raise the white flag of truce. Later, he fought against Gongsun Sheng, the Cloud Dragon, but was defeated and captured.

"That's amazing?"

Although Ximen Qing held a conservative attitude towards people like Lei Heng and Zheng Tianshou, he was still aware of Lu Junyi's worth.

If it's true, then this gold brick is truly a treasure! Moreover, it's a rare offensive magic weapon, which perfectly makes up for his lack of offensive power.

But how do you use it?

Using magic? It seems his magic can only stay in his dantian and can't be used!

As Ximen Qing stroked his chin, deep in thought, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Suddenly, ripples arose in his previously dormant dantian, and the vast magical power of the third level of the acquired realm surged toward the golden brick in his hand.

In an instant, golden light shone brightly!

Ximen Qing felt as if the gold brick was an outstretched hand, pointing and striking wherever it was pointed.

He was immediately excited by the sight of the target and pointed directly at the table and chairs in front of him.

boom!

In an instant, golden light shot out, and the brick smashed onto the table.

A huge crater instantly exploded on the spot, the tables and chairs disappeared, and even the bluestone floor was severely damaged, leaving a dark blue-green hole.

Ximen Qing felt that most of the magical power in his dantian had instantly been emptied.

It seems that the gold brick's potential is far greater than this; its power is simply due to insufficient magical support.

However, the marks in front of him, resembling those from a grenade explosion, were more than enough for him now!

Ximen Qing even doubted whether the three sword energy talismans given by Gu Yunzi had such power!

Carefully tucking the gold brick into his pocket, Ximen Qing thought he should have someone make a waist pouch to attach the gold brick to his waist.

If you encounter any demons or monsters, just pick up a brick and smash them to death!

It sounds wonderful!

Previous time travelers were too conservative. Who says the protagonist can't use bricks!

Ximen Qing was the one who started this trend!

After finally calming down, I looked at the remaining few again.

Continue recycling!

"Pan Jinlian's shoes? Why is Sister Jinlian always bothering me?"

What? This thing can sell for 0.5?

The case is solved! System, you're a mastermind!

"Wu Song's constable attire also costs 0.5."

It's worth it!

The last one—"Pang Chunmei (character card)?"

I glanced at the function and information of this thing.

A look of shock, followed by a hint of realization, appeared on Ximen Qing's face. He silently put the card away and began to sort through his spoils.

This lottery draw was a win-win situation; after recycling, I actually got nearly four Soul Points.

However, it's only close; the system doesn't allow rounding up.

However, with 3 Soul Points plus the two remaining from the 10-pull, that makes another 5 Soul Points!

Seeing the alluring golden glow on the SSR Lu Junyi card fragment, Ximen Qing decided to go all in!

"Just one more fragment to complete the synthesis! You have to give me that! Old Lu! Jade Kirin!!!"

Five consecutive draws! All in!

He strained his neck, making a silent roar.

A flash of white light streaked by, and five orbs of light fell to the ground!

*Splat*

Ximen Qing fell heavily to the ground. How despicable!

I knew it! We shouldn't have been greedy this time!

Was that stroke of good luck just a system-induced spending trap? Fate is playing tricks on this gambling addict!

I will never be greedy again!

He waved his hand, not even glancing at it twice, and retrieved all the strange-looking things in the air.

The five items brought him a generous reward of 0.25 soul points.

So what the hell is this "Wang Ying's Women's Ruqun"?

Are you playing this fancy game?

Damn it!

Ximen Qing closed the system interface after muttering to himself for a while.

It was truly a satisfying and enjoyable shopping experience.

Although I didn't win the legendary SSR prize or get any new skills, the results were still pretty good.

At the very least, it solved his immediate problem of having no means of attack.

Moreover, there were unexpected gains.

Ximen Qing glanced around.

This room was a quiet room that he had specially asked Laiwang to find, and he instructed that no one was allowed to disturb it.

Therefore, no one broke in despite the huge noise he made when he smashed the tables and chairs with gold bricks.

The reason for such caution is that he is about to perform an even more unbelievable operation—the ability to make a person appear out of thin air!

"Resurrect me!!! My love!!! (First of all, I admire the Third Young Master)"

This was accompanied by a loud shout from Ximen Qing.

A character card depicting a charming maid in his hand vanished.

Instead, a maid with playful, alluring eyes and a hint of timidity appeared before him.

"Young...Young Master?"

Ximen Qing looked at her and nodded slightly.

Chunmei was Ximen Qing's maid; of course, this character did not exist in the world of Liaozhai.

This character comes from another famous three-character classic novel about human relationships and customs, based on the character Ximen Qing.
