Inside the hall, the air was incredibly quiet.
After a long while, Hei Feng came back to his senses, looking at Lin Bei as if he were a monster.
"You... awakened Shadow Points by yourself?"
"Yes."
"And you gained a maximum of 10,000 points upon your first awakening?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
"Yes."
The two exchanged questions and answers.
Finally, Hei Feng fell silent again.
He was completely defeated!
It was one thing that his strength was inferior to the other party, but now it seemed that he, as the former tribal leader of the Dark Night Elf Clan, was already more attuned to Shadow Power than ordinary people.
But even so, when he first awakened, he only gained a maximum of 1,000 Shadow Points!
However, his awakening at the time caused a sensation throughout the entire Dark Night Elf Clan!
Everyone hailed him as a genius, with limitless potential!
But now, compared to Beiming... if he himself was a genius, then what was the other party?
Pain! Too much pain!
Hei Feng clutched his chest, feeling a bit stifled.
"Um... Lord City Lord, are... are you alright?"
Seeing Hei Feng's face constantly changing, as if constipated, Lin Bei couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Oh, I... I'm fine."
"Um... this storage bag contains introductions and skill books related to shadows. I'll package them and give them to you. I... I have important matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first."
After Hei Feng finished speaking, he immediately transformed into an afterimage, merging with the darkness, and completely disappeared.
Lin Bei was startled by this.
This method was indeed powerful.
Even he, if he hadn't deliberately concentrated his Spirit to investigate, wouldn't have been able to detect the other party's departure.
One must know that his Mental Attribute was more than ten times that of the other party!
This was enough to show the extraordinary nature of Shadow Power.
"His face was so ugly just now, he probably had an upset stomach, right?"
"Never mind, I've got the stuff anyway, so I can leave now."
Lin Bei said his thanks, then took the storage bag and left the City Lord's Mansion.
After he left, a shadow condensed in the hall, and Hei Feng reappeared.
He looked in the direction Lin Bei had left, his expression complex.
He suddenly felt that his Bailing might be a bit unworthy of that kid.
"No, the revival of the Elf Clan is at hand; I can't let this golden son-in-law slip away!"
"I need to find a way to tie this kid down!"
"Hmm... what exactly should I do?"
"Right, I should find time to see my big brother. He usually has a lot of clever ideas, maybe he'll have a miraculous plan!"
Hei Feng muttered to himself, his eyes gradually brightening... On the other side, after getting the storage bag, Lin Bei came to the Prestige Exchange.
A large group of Survivors had already gathered here.
Among them, naturally, were many people from the Three Major Forces.
Upon seeing the words "Beiming" above his head, everyone's gaze immediately converged and fell upon him.
Subsequently, everyone's expressions turned unfriendly, and they surrounded him, blocking Lin Bei's path.
However, Lin Bei didn't pay attention to these gazes. Instead, his spiritual power spread out directly, instantly repelling the surrounding crowd. He then walked straight to the window of the exchange and looked at a Spiritual Old Man responsible for prestige points exchange behind the window.
As for the others, they were now standing dumbfounded, like statues, motionless, as if their souls had left them.
Lin Bei didn't lay a hand on them; these people would gradually recover within half an hour and forget everything that had just happened.
He genuinely didn't want to engage with people from Jidao and Tianjian Pavilion.
As for those from the Order Dynasty, he just thought that he hadn't activated his "Super Luck" state yet, and killing them like this would be a bit of a loss.
So, it was better to let these people fatten up before slaughtering them.
Anyway, the Order Dynasty's main base was in Tianjian City; they couldn't run.
"Hey, young man, are you cutting in line?"
Behind the exchange window, the Spiritual Old Man responsible for prestige points exchange smiled at Lin Bei.
"I'm not cutting in line; they moved aside on their own."
Lin Bei spoke directly, without batting an eyelid.
The Spiritual Old Man's face twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he bared his teeth, saying, "Alright, interesting."
He had clearly felt a spiritual pressure erupt from the Survivor in front of him, directly pushing back the other Survivors. Otherwise... it would have been impossible for him to stand at the exchange window under such heavy encirclement.
However, he also didn't want to meddle in others' business.
"Here's the exchange list. Take a look yourself, what do you need?"
The old man stopped talking nonsense and directly handed Lin Bei a list.
Lin Bei took it and glanced at it indifferently, his brows furrowing slightly.
The items on the exchange list were all... not very practical.
Directly exchanging them with prestige points would truly be a waste.
"Is there nothing else?"
Lin Bei asked.
"No."
The old man shook his head and said, "It will be several more hours until the exchange items refresh next time."
"Then never mind, I'll come back next time."
Lin Bei lost interest upon hearing this and turned to leave.
He hadn't walked a few steps when the Spiritual Old Man suddenly called out to him: "Young man, wait a moment!"
"Is there anything else?"
Lin Bei turned back to look at the Spiritual Old Man.
"Hmm... I see your spiritual power isn't weak, so your strength must be very strong, right?"
"Just say what you want, otherwise I'm leaving."
"Alright, alright, oh dear, you young people are just so impatient!"
Seeing Lin Bei actually make to leave, the Spiritual Old Man quickly said, "I have some private good stuff here, only sold to fated people! Want to take a look?"
The Spiritual Old Man had a lewd smile on his face, then, under Lin Bei's dumbfounded gaze, he pulled out a tattered piece of parchment from his crotch.
"This is a special list, want to see it?"
"Uh... no, don't give it to me. You just hold it yourself; I'll look from afar."
Lin Bei took a few steps back, covering his nose and mouth, and said with a look of disgust.
Seeing this, the Spiritual Old Man's smile grew even more lewd.
"Young man, don't worry, these treasures of mine... I guarantee they won't disappoint you!"
With that, the old man unfolded the tattered parchment in his hand.
The list of items on it immediately fell into Lin Bei's eyes.
"This is...?!"
At just the first glance, Lin Bei couldn't help but exclaim.
Because... he actually saw a Legendary Level item!
And... it was a complete Legendary Level item!
However, when he saw the prestige points required for exchange later, his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.
Well, this thing was too expensive.
The trailing zeros made Lin Bei dizzy; upon closer count, there were actually ten zeros!
In other words, if Lin Bei wanted to exchange for this Perfect Legendary Level item, he would actually need to spend a whopping 10 billion prestige points!
Even for Lin Bei, who possessed the Critical Hit System, such a large amount of prestige points was definitely an astronomical figure!
He gave up directly.
His gaze moved downwards.
This time, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, besides that one Legendary Level item, the most expensive of the other exchangeable goods is only 100 million prestige points."
"No, why do I feel that 100 million prestige points is 'not bad'?"
"Damn it, this is clearly a lot, isn't it?"
Lin Bei, having come to his senses, cursed inwardly.
He must have been stunned by the initial 10 billion prestige points price of the Legendary item. Otherwise, how could he, an insignificant person with only 200,000 prestige points, dare to say that 100 million prestige points was not enough?
Lin Bei browsed the parchment.
Finally, he sighed.
These things were indeed good items.
But... the price was really expensive!
Even the cheapest item required 10,000 prestige points!
With Lin Bei's current prestige points, he couldn't buy many items at all.
He could only say that he was still too poor.
"How about it, young man? See anything you like?"
"Hehe, I also offer loan services here. If you're short on cash... just ask. Don't worry, the interest is absolutely fair!"
The Spiritual Old Man grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
Lin Bei's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly asked, "Can I really get a loan?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Tell me, how much do you want to borrow, and what do you want to buy?"
The Spiritual Old Man put down the parchment, picked up a teacup nearby, took a small sip, and smiled brightly.
"I want that Legendary item, the one for 10 billion prestige points!"
Lin Bei spoke directly, his words shocking.
"Pfft—"
"Holy crap! No... you, you, you..."
The old man spat out a mouthful of tea, but Lin Bei reacted quickly, dodging it with a sidestep.
He looked at the old man with a puzzled expression, frowning as he asked, "Didn't you ask me? I told you, why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Besides, you said it was a loan. Don't worry, I'm a man of my word; I'll definitely not be a defaulter!"
"So, are you lending or not?"
Lin Bei asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Young man, are you trying to pick a fight?"
The Spiritual Old Man wiped the tea stains from his beard and looked at Lin Bei with some anger.
He had truly lived long enough to see everything!
He had lived for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation!
That was 10 billion prestige points!
If converted into kings medals, that would be 10 billion kings medals!
How dare you even ask for that, kid?!
