36: Chapter 36 High-end Shopping

Early the next morning, Fang Chuan was awakened by the vibration of his phone.

He groggily reached for his phone and saw a series of messages sent by Zhang Chao.

"Old Fang! Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"Eighty-two thousand! Eighty-two thousand combat power! Hahahaha!"

"My parents were stunned, and they asked me to thank you on their behalf!"

"For this joint exam, I'm sticking with you! No one else matters!"

Attached to the message was a screenshot of the attribute panel of that Silver Moon Demon Wolf named "Cang Ya"; that glaring 82,000 total combat power announced the birth of a brand-new powerhouse.

A smile curled the corners of Fang Chuan's mouth.

He casually replied with a "Keep it up" and tossed the phone aside.

A combat power of 82,000 was indeed at the ceiling level among his peers.

But for Fang Chuan now, this was just a drop in the bucket.

What he was looking forward to more now was the joint exam day, and what kind of desperate expressions those high-and-mighty geniuses from big families would have when they saw his "F-Rank" Divine Kingdom.

He stretched and sat up from the bed.

All day yesterday, the classroom had been like a madhouse. The reward of an SS-Rank Divine Kingdom building card had completely ignited everyone's ambition and desire. Those family "scouts," who were usually stuck-up, had almost worn down the doorsteps.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with him.

"Just wait; when the joint exam comes, I hope your expressions will be even more entertaining."

Fang Chuan muttered, skillfully sinking his consciousness into his Divine Kingdom.

The Divine Kingdom was still a thriving scene; the Expeditionary Army was still tirelessly grinding monsters in the outer areas of the snowy mountains, and massive amounts of Faith Points and EXP were pouring in continuously.

However, Fang Chuan's mind was not on that today.

During the four days he had been AFK grinding in the Divine Kingdom, the daily Hextech refresh had not stopped.

"System, open today's Hextech options," Fang Chuan thought to himself.

Hum—

The familiar three-choice interface unfolded before his eyes.

However, when Fang Chuan saw the light on the interface, his breath hitched, and his heart skipped a beat.

Two Gold, one Prismatic!

A Prismatic appeared!

Ever since he last chose "Level Up! II," he hadn't seen anything above Gold tier for Hextech in a long time. He thought his luck had run out, but he didn't expect such a huge surprise today!

He suppressed the wild joy in his heart, took a deep breath, and carefully examined the specific details of the three options.

[Magic Roll (Gold): Roll three magical dice. You will receive a corresponding Faith Point reward based on the total sum of the roll.]

[Advanced Loan (Gold): Instantly gain 200,000 Faith Points. As a price, the tier of your next Hextech augmentation option will be reduced by one level (Prismatic becomes Gold, Gold becomes Silver, Silver will not be reduced further).]

[High-End Shopping (Prismatic): Your follower card pool will be permanently upgraded! Now, when you refresh the follower card pool, you will have a higher chance of obtaining high-star talent followers!]

"Holy crap!"

When Fang Chuan saw the third option, he couldn't hold it in anymore and blurted out an expletive.

Magic Roll was a purely luck-based option with unstable returns—high ceiling but low floor—so it could be directly ruled out.

Advanced Loan, 200,000 Faith Points, was just pocket change to a "God-tier tycoon" like him who was currently sitting on nearly a billion in savings. Not to mention the negative effect of lowering the Hextech tier, it was a massive loss.

But this "High-End Shopping"...

This was simply a divine skill!

A divine skill tailor-made for him!

What was he most lacking right now?

It wasn't Faith Points, it wasn't equipment, and it wasn't even high-star followers.

What he was most lacking was diversity in follower types!

Although his legion was powerful, the core team was always just those few—Goblin Tyrant, Goblin Arrow King, Goblin Sharpshooter... they were all goblins.

Although the goblins were insanely fierce under his system's buffs, the lack of unit variety was always a huge hidden danger.

If he ever encountered an enemy that naturally countered goblins, or a specific environment, his legion would likely suffer a huge loss.

He had long wanted to diversify his unit types, but he never had a good way to do it.

The high-star follower cards in the exchange were not only expensive but also limited in variety, and they were all one-time use.

And now, this Hextech, "High-End Shopping," perfectly solved his problem!

This was no longer a one-time deal, but a broad road for infinite development!

"Is there even a need to think? Must choose this!"

Fang Chuan didn't hesitate at all. With a thought, he directly locked onto the Prismatic-tier Hextech in the middle that was flickering with seven-colored light.

"Select [High-End Shopping]!"

Hum—

The seven-colored light instantly surged into his soul, and a mysterious power of law reshaped his system interface.

[Ding! Hextech augmentation: High-End Shopping is now in effect!]

[Your follower card pool has been permanently upgraded!]

Fang Chuan couldn't wait to open the refresh interface of the follower card pool.

Sure enough, the original refresh probabilities had undergone an earth-shattering change.

[Follower card pool refresh probability (after High-End Shopping bonus):]

[One-star talent follower: 25%]

[Two-star talent follower: 40%]

[Three-star talent follower: 30%]

[Four-star talent follower: 5%]

"Hiss!"

Seeing this probability, Fang Chuan gasped, and the smile on his face could no longer be contained.

With the previous card pool, let alone four-star, he would have to burn incense just to roll a three-star; the vast majority were just one-star or two-star filler items.

And now, the refresh rate for three-star followers had soared directly to 30%!

The most ridiculous thing was that there was even a full 5% refresh rate for four-star talent followers!

Five percent!

This might not look high, but for a card pool that could be refreshed infinitely, this was already a terrifying number!

This meant that on average, every twenty refreshes, he had a chance to see a four-star talent follower!

"I'm rich! This time, I'm really rich!"

Fang Chuan paced back and forth in his apartment in excitement.

With this, there would be no more obstacles to his army expansion plan.

As long as he had enough Faith Points, angels, dragons, titans, behemoths... all these high-tier races that were tightly monopolized by big families, he could roll them all!

However, frantically refreshing the card pool required a massive amount of Faith Points.

Fang Chuan composed himself, his gaze crossing the Divine Kingdom's main city, locking onto the abyss in the north shrouded in mist from afar.

The Temple of Fortune ruins—the one-week restriction weakening period ended exactly today.

"Fara, Yi, it's time to set off!"

Fang Chuan looked at the 3,000-strong army that had already assembled in the six cities and gave the order.

"By your command, my God," Fara and Yi, who were already level 48, replied respectfully.

Then Fara turned around, waved his axe, and pointed toward the Temple of Fortune ruins. "Advance!"
