69: Spring Breeze Pavilion
“It’s fine, just curious,” Li Changkong replied casually.
“Want to go to Chunfeng Pavilion tonight?” Just then, Hou Wen asked with a grin.
“What kind of place?” Li Changkong furrowed his brow, as the name sounded a bit improper.
“It’s the biggest professional trading spot in the capital. They have everything there. I want to see if I can buy a handy weapon,” Hou Wen explained, rubbing his nose.
“Oh, I thought…” Li Changkong chuckled, “Alright, let’s go together tonight.”
…
Gold Institute.
The Red-Haired Man, who had been beaten half to death, had mostly recovered under the priest’s treatment.
At least that half-dead look was no longer on the Red-Haired Man’s face.
However, the Red-Haired Man was still sniveling and weeping as he complained to the white-clothed man in front of him.
“Elder Feng, you can’t ignore me.”
“He didn’t just hit me; he was slapping the face of our Crown Prince Gang. He’s arrogant and even snatched the contribution points we worked so hard to collect.”
The Red-Haired Man wailed loudly, making the white-clothed man’s expression grow even darker.
“How could a mere newcomer be so bold?” Elder Feng suppressed his anger and continued.
“Exactly, we didn’t expect him to just directly attack.”
“This person is relying on being the Newcomer King of Shenhua University this year. If we don’t suppress him, then there’ll be no point in collecting contribution points in the future.”
The Red-Haired Man nodded repeatedly, continuing to instigate.
Elder Feng naturally grew more worried upon hearing these words.
He turned to the Red-Haired Man: “Don’t worry, Chen Zhen, our Crown Prince Gang will get back at him for this.”
“However, that guy is just a newcomer. If we Elders make a move, it might seem too much like bullying, and we’ll likely be criticized for it.”
Elder Feng pondered for a moment, stating his concerns.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen hastily explained: “That person’s strength is not weak. If we truly underestimate him, even we Elders won’t be able to defeat him.”
Elder Feng snorted upon hearing this: “That’s just because you lot are useless.”
“We’ve recently recruited some new people. It’s a good opportunity to let them try their hand.”
Chen Zhen wanted to retort upon hearing this.
But seeing Elder Feng’s confident expression, he still didn’t speak.
He had already witnessed Li Changkong’s strength, and he was worried whether those newcomers would be able to deal with Li Changkong.
…
Coming out of the Training Room again, Li Changkong felt invigorated.
It had to be said, the effect of this Training Room was better than he had imagined.
He had now reached Rank 30, and to continue raising his Rank, he first needed to complete the task given by the System.
That task had already appeared before Li Changkong: to go to the Dark Night Forest and kill a thousand monsters.
The Dark Night Forest was a camp near the capital, a gathering place for monsters.
Just hearing the name Dark Night Forest, one could tell that this camp was not simple.
Just as Li Changkong had imagined, this place served as a small battlefield.
And before entering the small battlefield, Li Changkong still wanted to try his best to improve his strength.
Within the small battlefield, there were no opportunities for revival.
Once one died, they would truly die.
During this period, he planned to raise the Rank of all his minor skills.
This included not only his ranged skills but also some of the close-combat skills Li Changkong possessed.
As long as both types of skills were utilized well, there would definitely be great benefits in the future.
After night fell, Li Changkong returned to his dormitory.
Hou Wen was waiting for Li Changkong in the dormitory, and the two of them didn’t think too much before quickly leaving the university.
Compared to Blue City, where Li Changkong was from, the capital was on a completely different level in terms of both scale and prosperity.
Shenhua University was not in the center of the city, but it was very close to the central area.
There was a commercial street nearby, considered the most popular commercial street in the university town.
And the Chunfeng Pavilion, where the two planned to go, was located on this commercial street.
As soon as he stepped onto the commercial street, Li Changkong could see the large Chunfeng Pavilion sign in the distance.
The Chunfeng Pavilion was a Chinese-style pavilion building, looking at it, it was easily over ten stories high.
At the entrance of the Chunfeng Pavilion, there were all kinds of luxury cars, and even a helipad.
The two quickly entered Chunfeng Pavilion, and they also received a distributed map.
The entire Chunfeng Pavilion had a total of nineteen floors; the first eighteen floors were places to buy various things, and the nineteenth floor was an auction house.
However, there was also a threshold to enter the auction house.
Only by spending or selling items reaching a certain amount of chinese yuan within Chunfeng Pavilion could one enter the auction house.
There were no shops on these first few floors, but rather small stalls.
The owners of these small stalls wore various types of clothes, clearly professionals who came to sell.
“These small stalls are basically run by independent individuals. You might even find treasures, so just take a look,” Hou Wen, who was clearly more familiar with the place, reminded Li Changkong.
Li Changkong nodded and began to wander around.
In fact, the chance of finding a bargain here was very small, as most items could be appraised.
With just a glance, their attributes would clearly appear before one’s eyes.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally very difficult to find something special.
Li Changkong didn't come with any intention of finding a bargain, he just casually observed his surroundings.
“Purple Boss Iron-Blooded Wolf King’s Claw, rare Materials for sale, cheap price, five hundred thousand chinese yuan.”
“Great Master-grade medicinal Material, Blood-Colored Lotus for sale, anyone passing by, come take a look.”
“Rank 30 bodyguard, only fifty thousand chinese yuan a day, cheap, cheap!”
…
The sounds of hawking filled his ears, which indeed broadened Li Changkong’s horizons.
Not only were various Materials and medicinal Materials being sold, but even bodyguards and thugs.
As they passed through these floors, preparing to go upstairs, a quarrel came from the distance.
This surprised Li Changkong somewhat, and his gaze turned towards a nearby small stall.
This was a corner stall, probably costing only a few hundred chinese yuan to rent for a day.
The owner of the small stall was a woman dressed rather simply, but her appearance was very delicate and pretty, looking no older than seventeen or eighteen.
Looking at this girl, Li Changkong didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of his own younger sister.
