A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"Distinguished guest, you have been upgraded to a Level 9 user, making you the most honored guest in our Wanbaoge."

"We have prepared the most luxurious VIP room for you. Please follow me." The female ghost looked at Zhou An respectfully.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An nodded slightly and followed the female ghost upstairs.

Before long, Zhou An arrived at an extremely luxurious private room.

"Sir, we..." The female ghost was interrupted by Zhou An before she could finish speaking.

"You go ahead and do your thing. I want to be alone and look at the merchandise at Wanbaoge," Zhou An said, waving his hand.

"Yes, sir. If you need anything, please press the call button." The female ghost respectfully left the private room.

The door closed, leaving Zhou An alone in the private room.

Zhou An wasn't in a hurry to check the rule-based items, but instead took out a portion of the attribute fruits.

He took a power fruit.

The fruit is not large, only about the size of a ping-pong ball.

The moment it enters the mouth, without even needing to chew, it transforms directly into a pure energy that flows through the limbs and bones.

[Consuming the Power Fruit increases Strength attribute by 1]

"Phew, that feels so good." Feeling the energy coursing through his body made Zhou An feel incredibly comfortable.

Immediately, Zhou An took the fruit and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.

[Consuming the Power Fruit increases Strength attribute by 1]

……

[Consuming a Constitution Fruit increases Constitution attribute by 1]

……

[Consuming the Spirit Fruit increases Spirit attribute by 1]

In no time, Zhou An had eaten all 45 fruits.

Next up is the fruit with all attributes.

After eating it all, Zhou An found that he felt much more energetic and stronger.

His physique has also become a bit more robust than before.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou An summoned his clones and had them eat all the attribute fruits as well.

Zhou An brought up his attribute panel.

Name: Zhou An

Age: 24

[Level]: LV26

【Strength】: 834

【Spirit】: 833

[Physical Constitution]: 832

[Contract Slot]: Li Shengsheng

[Skills]: Take a tumble, slash, flesh sacrifice

Props: [Murder Knife] [Dismemberment Knife] [Pain-Saving Bracelet] [Feel-Free Bracelet]...

[Rouhun Foot Bath Black Gold Card]: 12975000

[Tiandi Bank Black Gold Card]: 29756080

[Talismans (4/5)]: Horse Talisman, Tiger Talisman, Dragon Talisman, Rat Talisman

Five times, all his attributes increased fivefold.

Sure enough, coming to Wanbaoge was the right decision.

Zhou An then prepared to open the fourth-level partition and purchase a fourth-level spiritual fruit.

However, I discovered that I didn't have permission to open it at all.

This made Zhou An frown.

"I've already spent ten million, and I still can't access the fourth-level partition?"

Because Zhou An is currently only level 26, which is the second tier of strength, he can only open the third-tier partition, which is one level higher than himself.

Zhou An immediately summoned the staff of Wanbaoge.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" A female ghost dressed in business attire walked in.

"I have spent over ten million and reached the highest level, level nine user."

"But why can't I even open the fourth-level partition now?" Zhou An asked.

"Sir, this is Wanbaoge's regulation, or rather, this is Wanbaoge's rule, which even the chairman cannot change." The female ghost smiled and patiently explained to Zhou An.

"Alright then." Zhou An waved his hand at the female ghost.

Anyway, he just wanted to buy some higher-level attribute fruits, which was better than nothing for Zhou An at the moment.

"Sir, please feel free to call me if you have any questions or instructions." The female ghost left after saying this.

"That's right, the Horse Talisman can refresh physical status and restrictions." Zhou An immediately thought of this.

He immediately purchased a level one Power Fruit.

[Consuming the Power Fruit increases Strength attribute by 1]

Zhou An's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes, that means Zhou An doesn't need to buy higher-level spirit fruits anymore; he only needs to buy level one.

A level 1 attribute fruit, worth 1,000 coins each.

Zhou An glanced at his Soul Money; he still had nearly 30 million left.

After thinking for a moment, he placed an order for 7,000 of each type of fruit, totaling 21 million soul coins.

Just as he was about to make the payment, he was stopped by the malevolent entity.

"Hey Ben, are you trying to eat us alive?"

"There are 21,000 fruits. Each of us needs to eat 7,000. We can only eat five at a time before we have to activate the horse talisman," the evil entity complained.

"What's the big deal? We can spend all night chopping off legs, so what's wrong with eating some fruit?" Zhou An said irritably.

“Yes, and you don’t have to eat it all at once, you can eat it slowly.” The benevolent entity nodded in agreement.

Zhou An immediately placed an order.

Zhou An clicked around for a long time, but it showed that he could not place an order.

[Dear Level 9 users, there is a daily purchase limit of 1,000 fruits of each attribute. Please reduce your purchase quantity before making any further purchases.]

"Well, looks like we'll have to do it in batches," Zhou An said, pursing his lips.

“Wait, Lao Ben, do you think we could open an account together? That way, we can buy a thousand together,” the benevolent entity suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An's eyes lit up.

Yes, the benevolent and malevolent entities were separated by Zhou An using the Tiger Talisman.

However, Zhou An quickly realized that although it was possible, he would need to get a bank card, buy a mobile phone, and get a phone card for both the benevolent and malevolent entities.

I reckon I won't understand it anytime soon.

"No rush, let's look at other things first. I'll take care of it for you when we go out later," Zhou An said.

Both the benevolent and malevolent minds nodded.

Zhou An then reduced the quantity and purchased three thousand attribute fruits.

He cleared out three more inventory slots and threw the fruit into them.

Zhou An glanced at the rules-based section; he did have permission for that.

The Wanbao Pavilion has quite a few rule-based items, numbering in the hundreds.

The cheapest one only costs 100,000 Soul Coins.

[Say it out loud]: You need to learn to accept.

Effect: Rule-based item. When someone makes a request of you, you will always agree to their request.

Note: After each use, the next time you ask someone for help, no matter what the matter is, they will firmly refuse.

This is a rule-based prop, a very bizarre rule-based prop.

That's why it's only priced at 100,000 Soul Coins.

Or rather, even the most worthless rule-based items are worth 100,000 Soul Coins.

As for the most expensive rule item, it shocked Zhou An, costing a full 10 billion.

【Ten Thousand Bones Dragon Court - Supreme Power】: Withered bones piled up to form a golden palace, the yin wind blows through the nine heavens, a hundred ghosts pay homage to the dark throne, lonely souls serve the emperor, and the netherworld suppresses all living beings.

Effect: A one-time rule-based item. Reciting the above poem will transform you into the Lord of the Eternal Dragon Court, wielding supreme power.

Note: Duration is calculated based on age. For every year of age consumed, it lasts for one second. Once used, it cannot be stopped until the lifespan reaches zero.

"Eternal Dragon Court? Supreme power? Good heavens."

Ten billion... compared to this attribute, it seems... it's not expensive, right?

Supreme power—although we don't know what kind of being it is, it must at least possess the power of a Ghost Emperor, right?

This power even surpasses the level of the Ghost Emperor.

The price to pay is severe: it consumes one's lifespan, and once used, it cannot be stopped until the lifespan is exhausted.

This is a one-time rule-based item; 10 billion for one life, that's about right.

Zhou An just felt that this thing was definitely something Wanbaoge put out for others to see.

Even if someone offered 10 billion, I would absolutely not sell.
