90: Honesty and Cooperation

Looking at the treasure chest, whose color was growing deeper, Han Fei couldn't help but chuckle.

"Heh, this is really interesting."

He didn't rush to smash the piggy bank, but instead continued to let it accumulate pollution sources.

The more pollution sources the piggy bank accumulated, the more rewards he would get after smashing it.

Afterward, Han Fei once again immersed himself in opening treasure chests and Cultivating.

He could clearly feel that as the pollution sources were continuously absorbed, his Superpower Aptitude, like a seedling, gradually absorbed scarce nutrients and grew robustly.

Although his Cleaning Superpower was always unable to Breakthrough the Bottleneck of the first layer, with the continuous absorption of pollution sources, Han Fei gradually perceived that the seemingly impregnable barrier actually had subtle cracks.

At this moment, his Cleaning Superpower was like a sharpened sword; each encounter with a pollution source added an unprecedented sharpness to it, preparing for the final Breakthrough of that barrier.

Thus, time quietly flowed away in concentration and anticipation; several hours passed as if in the blink of an eye.

Han Fei's state of mind also became increasingly calm; all distracting thoughts vanished, leaving only a clear, water-like will, quietly awaiting that moment of eruption.

Finally, at an unsuspecting moment.

Like ripples suddenly appearing on a calm lake, the Bottleneck that had long troubled Han Fei and kept him awake countless nights finally succumbed to the accumulated power and shattered with a roar.

At this moment, there was no anticipated lightning and thunder, nor dazzling light; only the surging joy and relief in Han Fei's heart.

And at the moment the Bottleneck broke, the Superpower in Han Fei's palm underwent a qualitative change!

Originally, the activation of the Superpower only condensed a mini garbage can in his palm.

Now, Han Fei's entire hand gradually transformed into a giant garbage can in a way he couldn't comprehend!

The power of absorption increased by more than ten times!

At this moment, with just a slight exertion, Han Fei discovered that the air in front of the garbage can seemed to be slightly distorted.

He understood that it was because the powerful suction inside the garbage can was affecting the surrounding space.

It showed how terrifying the suction was!

This terrifying power made Han Fei wonder if he were to encounter that all-black Garbage Monster again, he could probably absorb it completely in one encounter, not even giving it a chance to resist!

After a brief moment of emotion, Han Fei immediately plunged into opening treasure chests and Cultivating.

Due to the significant increase in absorption speed, one pollution-environmental bronze treasure chest was no longer enough for Han Fei.

He first tried to open two bronze treasure chests simultaneously but didn't feel any pressure.

This unexpected ease seemed to ignite his fighting spirit, prompting him to further test his limits.

Three, four, five... As the number of treasure chests gradually climbed to seven, tiny beads of sweat began to appear on Han Fei's forehead.

He finally felt a little pressure.

But for him, this was more like an incentive, urging him to explore higher and continue challenging his limits.

Eight, nine, ten.

Simultaneously absorbing ten treasure chests, the pressure erupted like a mountain flood, almost engulfing him.

"Ten... seems too much."

He secretly weighed in his heart that if it were ten treasure chests, although it could achieve the effect of extreme training, it was very likely that some garbage would be left in the room.

If the leaked garbage was special, it was very likely to cause unpredictable consequences.

One must know that due to Han Fei's skyrocketing luck, the special garbage opened from the treasure chest not only increased in quantity but also became more bizarre and complex, some even making people feel eerie and terrifying.

For example, a violently wriggling rotten severed hand, or a gray-black head maintaining a strange smile.

Fortunately, these pieces of garbage were absorbed by the Cleaning Superpower the moment they appeared; otherwise, no one could predict what the consequences would be.

If it were nine treasure chests, with Han Fei's current absorption speed, he could ensure that all of them were absorbed, preventing any garbage from falling into the room.

After some hesitation, Han Fei decided to play it safe and chose nine treasure chests.

Soon, he calmed his mind and once again devoted himself to this unique treasure chest Cultivation.

Now, he opened nine treasure chests simultaneously, and the rate of performance improvement was nine times that of before!

If the increase in luck was also factored in, the current rate of performance improvement was definitely dozens of times that of before.

This made Han Fei unwilling to waste even a second, trying his best to absorb garbage and improve his performance.

However, even so, it was unlikely to accumulate 50 million in performance in a short time.

Time flowed like a gentle stream, silently passing through his fingertips.

In the blink of an eye, it was Luna's departure day.

"Can you tell me how you conjure magic cakes?"

Luna tightly clutched Han Fei's sleeve, crystal tears glistening in her eyes, her pleading words filled with intense curiosity.

"Didn't I tell you? It's a secret," Han Fei said with a wry smile.

"Can you teach me? I can exchange it for something else!" Luna asked pitifully.

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's that I really can't; this is my special ability," Han Fei said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

To be honest, if he hadn't known that the fairy spirits were inherently kind, Han Fei would never have revealed that he could replicate magic cakes.

"Then... at least let me see the moment you use your ability with my own eyes, okay?"

Luna opened her large, jewel-like eyes, deliberately putting on a pitiful expression, her pleading gaze almost melting one's heart.

"I can only use that ability six times a day, and today's uses are all up. If you want to see it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow," Han Fei explained with a hint of apology.

"Tomorrow, huh..."

A trace of hesitation flashed across Luna's face.

She had already been here for three days.

Being away from Tianhe City for so long made her feel a bit uneasy.

However, she had also left a backup plan in Tianhe City; if anything really happened, she would know immediately.

With her methods, she could return to Tianhe City in a few breaths.

"How about... staying one more day?"

On the scales of her heart, wavering thoughts constantly failed to find a balance.

Ultimately, an irrepressible curiosity won out.

Luna decided to stay one more day.

Full of curiosity, she very much wanted to witness Han Fei's methods firsthand.

Han Fei smiled in his heart when he saw this.

The fish had taken the bait.

One must know that the duration of White God Good Luck Magic was limited.

And as time passed, the aura of luck bestowed upon Han Fei also dimmed little by little, gradually losing its initial dazzling brilliance.

Han Fei felt this deeply; his experience was like riding a roller coaster, sliding from the Peak to the trough.

At first, the gain from one treasure chest opening was four or five times that of before.

Gradually, it decreased to three or four times.

Now it was only twice, more than half less than when it started!

It was estimated that in another day or two, the effect of good luck would completely disappear.

That's why Han Fei wanted to keep Luna by his side for as long as possible.

When the effect of good luck was about to disappear, he would use White God Good Luck Magic again, so his good luck could return to its Peak state.

Moreover, there were only about two days left until the treasure chest exhibition began.

It would naturally be best if Luna could stay until the exhibition started.

So Han Fei used his Superpower as bait, which could at least keep her for one more day.

Afterward, Han Fei resumed Cultivating, while Luna stayed in her room, happily enjoying the magic cakes.

In the blink of an eye, it was the start of another day; the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the curtain gaps, illuminating every corner of the room.

Before Han Fei finished Cultivating, he heard Luna's impatient knocking.

"Quickly show me your ability!"

She excitedly fluttered in front of Han Fei, seemingly unwilling to wait even a moment.

"Alright, alright, I'll show you now."

Han Fei responded with a smile, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the magic cake treasure chest on the table.

With a gentle grip of his right hand, a level two magic cake, exuding an enticing aroma, appeared in his palm without warning.

"This, how is this possible..."

Luna murmured, her voice filled with disbelief.

"It's not magic, nor Superpower, nor the use of a magical item..."

"Why did the cake appear in his hand without any energy fluctuations?"

Her gaze darted back and forth between the magically appearing cake and Han Fei, trying to find a reasonable explanation for this untraceable act.

"How on earth did he do it?"

Luna's heart questioned silently, every thought accompanied by an intense desire for knowledge.

Her mind spun rapidly, like a precise instrument, analyzing, sifting, and eliminating; each negation furrowed her brow a little more.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Han Fei with disbelief.

"You... you couldn't be using a System, could you?!"

Although her words carried a probing tone, in the depths of her pupils, there was an eighty to ninety percent certainty, as if she was convinced her guess was correct.

Han Fei's face showed a hint of surprise when he heard this.

He hadn't expected Luna to figure it out so easily.

"How did you know?" Now it was Han Fei's turn to be puzzled.

"An ability that can create something out of nothing like this, without any cost, besides a System, I can't think of a second one."

Facing Han Fei's question, Luna's expression was exceptionally serious.

She was, after all, the legendary Great Sage, and the treasure trove of knowledge stored in her mind was all-encompassing and unfathomable.

It was certainly no less than the largest information storage database of today.

With such a vast reserve of knowledge, based on just a subtle clue, she could, like the most precise analyzer, instantly unravel the threads, discern the essence of things, and see through to the deeper logic behind phenomena.

One must know that although there are hundreds of millions of magic spells, countless Superpowers, and various strange curses in this world, no matter which one, there is always a price to pay for its use.

When Han Fei used the System before, Luna secretly activated her Demon Source Eye, trying to see through the source of Han Fei's ability.

The Demon Source Eye could see through the essence of all things and analyze the root of everything.

However, under the gaze of the Demon Source Eye, Luna saw no signs of any source being revealed.

This meant that when Han Fei used his ability, he paid no price, not even the price of a single dandruff flake!

This both astonished Luna and immediately ruled out the possibility of Han Fei using magic or Superpower.

Neither magic nor Superpower, nor the use of a magical item, yet he could conjure a level two magic cake out of thin air.

This astonishing feat, after much thought, led Luna's mind to those mysterious existences that only existed in ancient legends—Systems.

In ancient legends, the Systems within the treasure chests were omnipotent.

Creating things out of thin air, changing the sky and earth, bringing the dead back to life... Many things that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine, Systems could accomplish.

Some powerful Systems were rumored to be Heaven-Defying to the extent of reversing time and creating a dimensional Universe.

Compared to reversing time, creating things out of thin air seemed insignificant.

But one must know that among the hundreds of millions of magic spells Luna knew, there were only a few Divine-Grade magic spells that could create a level two magic cake out of thin air.

And those magic spells, to create a level two magic cake, would definitely be accompanied by huge sacrifices and exchanges, by no means as effortless as Han Fei, as if playing with the boundaries of reality at will.

Noticing Luna's suspicious gaze gradually turning into conviction, Han Fei didn't hesitate at all and frankly confessed: "You guessed right, I really used a System."

In fact, Han Fei had already anticipated this situation before revealing his Cheat.

Last night, Han Fei thought all night about whether or not to expose his Cheat to Luna.

His purpose in doing so was, of course, to maximize his transactions with Luna.

Before witnessing the shocking luck enhancement of White God Good Luck Magic, he might have harbored some suspicion and uncertainty about Luna's ability.

But now, after experiencing the shock of his performance skyrocketing like a rocket, Han Fei had deeply realized Luna's value.

With Luna's knowledge and magic, if he could gain her strong assistance, the effect of his Cheat would definitely increase dozens, even hundreds of times!

More importantly, the nature of fairy spirits was very kind; there had never been an evil fairy spirit in history.

Through this period of contact with Luna, Han Fei further confirmed this point.

Although Luna's strength was unfathomable, far above Han Fei's, she only showed respect and patience, never bullying others with her power, nor did she ever make any unreasonable demands of Han Fei.

Their transactions were always conducted in an equal and friendly atmosphere, and even for occasional requests for credit, Luna readily agreed.

This treatment, in Han Fei's eyes, was undoubtedly a great trust and affirmation.

In this world full of deception, she was like a lotus rising unstained from the mud.

This also made Luna's trustworthiness in Han Fei's heart far surpass that of the Special Guard Team, with whom he had been in contact longer.

So after much deliberation last night, Han Fei still decided to expose his Cheat to Luna, hoping to use her knowledge and magic to maximize the potential of his Cheat.

Even if Han Fei misjudged and Luna harbored ill intentions towards the System, Han Fei was not afraid.

After all, he was always under the protection of the Dragon God, and Luna's current strength was less than one-tenth of her Peak, so it should be unlikely for her to harm him under the Dragon God's protection.
