144: Gu Yan Points

“Has the Luck of my Destiny completed its leap?”

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes. The System’s notifications hadn’t ended yet, still announcing the changes brought about by his Destiny’s leap to two stars.

“Your Ultimate Villain Destiny Luck has reached two stars. All heavenly fate treasure chest you obtain in the future will automatically be promoted to upper-grade heavenly mandate treasure chest.”

“Your Ultimate Villain Destiny Luck has reached two stars. You have unlocked the Destiny Mall permission.”

“Your Ultimate Villain Destiny Luck has reached two stars. You have obtained Destiny Time Treasure Wheel * 1.”

“Because your Ultimate Villain Destiny Luck has reached two stars, all your current heavenly fate treasure chest have automatically been promoted to upper-grade heavenly mandate treasure chest.”

“Caution! Because your Ultimate Villain Destiny Luck has reached two stars, the probability of you encountering Heavenly Mandate Protagonist has increased.”

“Caution! Because your Ultimate Villain Destiny Luck has reached two stars, Heavenly Mandate Protagonists will have more frequent interactions.”

Along with the upgrade of his Destiny, new permissions were unlocked, and new treasures were obtained.

The biggest change was that all heavenly fate treasure chest obtained in the future would directly leap to High Grade.

This was incredibly awesome!

Previously, to promote a heavenly fate treasure chest to High Grade, he could only use a tianming ascending seal!

But that item was extremely rare; it was a reward he received only after completing a hidden quest with a 300% completion rate.

It could only be used 50 times!

Once used up, it would be gone!

Chu Feng had considered whether he should hint to the System to “V me 50 more” since he had accumulated so many boxes.

He didn't expect that before he even opened his mouth, when he was feeling sleepy, not only was a pillow delivered, but even a black-stockinged sister was brought to his bed.

This wave was truly a massive win!

Chu Feng had personally experienced the difference between a heavenly fate treasure chest and an upper-grade heavenly mandate treasure chest.

Ordinary heavenly fate treasure chest generally yielded True Immortal Rank treasures, occasionally Immortal Lord-Rank ones.

However, an upper-grade heavenly mandate treasure chest could easily yield Immortal King-Rank rewards; they were simply not on the same level.

Not to mention the difference in the golden guaranteed drops!

He sensed the rows of heavenly fate treasure chest in his God Ocean, which directly leaped in grade after his Destiny reached two stars.

The boxes were covered in golden light like flowing sand, their volume increased, and they gradually emitted a faint blue glow!

Chu Feng’s eyes lit up. Fortunately, he was a hoarder and didn't blindly listen to the System's nonsense about opening boxes as soon as he got them.

Now, all fifty-six heavenly fate treasure chest in his God Ocean had leaped to High Grade.

If he had opened these boxes casually before, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss on the spot?

“Oh, you foolish and useless System, do you see this? This is the victory of a hoarder!”

System: “...”

“Respected Host, with this upgrade, this System is no longer useless and has brought you a brand new feature — the Destiny Mall!”

“Would you like to view it!”

The System quickly tried to prove itself!

“Let me see.”

Chu Feng's eyes flickered. He noticed a new entry for “Destiny Mall” on his panel, and his gaze sharpened, reflecting a brand new interface.

This was the new trick the System was so proud of — the Destiny Mall!

Upon opening it, he immediately saw a large, clear balance display — 70 gu yan points.

Chu Feng frowned: “Why are there so few points?”

This thing was clearly a currency, and the Mall naturally used it for exchanges.

70 gu yan points couldn't buy a hammer, let alone anything useful. As expected, he couldn't have any expectations for the System.

“Respected Host, it’s not a small amount. One gu yan points is equivalent to one hundred thousand Destiny Value. This is generated from all the Destiny Value you have currently reaped from Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.”

The System hastily tried to save face.

“Oh? One gu yan points equals one hundred thousand Destiny Value?”

Chu Feng instantly understood, and casually said: “Then don’t call it Destiny Points anymore, it sounds tiresome. Everything is ‘Destiny’; I’ve seen ‘Destiny’ so much I almost don’t recognize these two characters anymore.”

System: ???

“Just call them gu yan points. It’s perfect, one gu yan points equals one Gu Yan. As a goblin in the Novice Village (newbie village), I, as the villain, should give him basic respect and honor.”

System: ???

Are you sure this isn't rubbing salt in the wound?

After Chu Feng casually redefined it, he suddenly felt something was off: “Wait, 70 gu yan points, wouldn’t that be 7 million Destiny Value?”

Gu Yan: one hundred thousand Destiny Value.

Martial Emperor: one million Destiny Value.

Xuan Wei: five million Destiny Value.

Even if they had fortuitous encounters and their Destiny Value increased, and even if he was good at harvesting, he hadn't harvested 7 million Destiny Value, had he?

“Because you, the Host, performed too exceptionally, after the Gu Yan Mall opened, you received a point bonus.”

The System drew inferences and showed astonishing intelligence.

“So that’s how it is. That barely makes sense.”

“But, Gu Yan Mall? What kind of messy name is that? Don’t change the name randomly. Gu Yan is fine as a unit of measurement, but seeing Gu Yan’s name as soon as I open the panel is too unlucky.”

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, rejecting the System’s suggestion.

System: “...”

The Host’s bizarre and abstract thinking is too difficult to comprehend. It even felt a little sympathetic towards those Heavenly Mandate Protagonists. Thankfully, it and the Host were on the same side, otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they were played to death.

Chu Feng ignored the System and began to carefully browse the brand new Mall.

The Mall interface was identical, filled with a dazzling array of goods.

One hundred million tons of Quasi-Imperial Rank treasures, five gu yan points.

Three thousand tons of Wu Dao Tea, ten gu yan points.

Immortal-Rank Scroll (Special) * 1, twenty gu yan points.

Destiny Critical Strike Talisman * 99, thirty gu yan points.

tianming ascending seal * 1, forty gu yan points.

Innate Chaos Sutra, fifty gu yan points.

...

Just as the System had said, gu yan points were very valuable.

Even the most common one gu yan points could be exchanged for a large amount of treasures.

Of course, some items also had unreasonable pricing.

Why was something like the tianming ascending seal, which was an outdated item, worth forty Gu Yan?

“Dog System, are you looking down on my brother Gu Yan?”

Chu Feng initially didn't feel there was anything wrong, but the more he looked, the higher his brows furrowed.

“Dog System, aren’t all these items in the Destiny Mall things I’ve already had?”

“What’s the use of this?”

“Items from the Destiny Mall are guaranteed to be high-quality. All treasures you have extracted from heavenly fate treasure chest can be exchanged through the Mall.”

Chu Feng: “...”

“Then why isn’t there any heavenly fate shard?”

“Respected Host, heavenly fate shard are extremely special; the Mall is not qualified to stock them.”

“Alright, please just gracefully leave.”

If it were other Protagonists/Villains, seeing this Destiny Mall would probably make them so excited they’d wet themselves.

But he was different.

The items extracted from the heavenly fate treasure chest were not only priceless but also generally of good quality and quantity.

Take the Wu Dao Tea, for example. Si Budao would even chew on wrinkled tea leaves for ten years, while Chu Feng could use it for bathing for several hundred years.

And he still needed to use gu yan points to exchange for it in this broken little Mall of yours?

Forget it, he shouldn't have had too many expectations for the System.

It could only provide emotional value at best.

However, this Destiny Mall wasn't completely useless. The items extracted from the heavenly fate treasure chest weren't all in large quantities. Some golden legends were still very practical.

For example, Immortal-Rank Scroll.

The gu yan points were essentially obtained for free, a recycling and reuse of the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist’s Destiny Value.

Although he didn't care for it now, perhaps this Destiny Mall would be useful in the future?

Chu Feng casually closed the Destiny Mall and his gaze fell on his God Ocean.

A special treasure floated there.

It was about ten meters high, like a windmill, with six rotating blades.

As it rotated, the treasure emitted a brilliant blue light. The light, in the form of ripples, quietly spun, forming a small world of its own within his God Ocean, which was enveloped by his Immortal Law.

This was… the aura of time.

Chu Feng’s heart stirred slightly.

Time was an extremely abstract yet ever-present thing.

In the world of Immortals, a blink of an eye might mean a hundred years passing.

As an Immortal King, the Immortal Law he touched was closely related to time.

That was why he instantly felt the aura of time carried by this special treasure called the Destiny Time Treasure Wheel.

What was this thing used for?

Chu Feng’s thoughts unconsciously landed on the Destiny Time Treasure Wheel. The next moment, his expression became playful.
