15: Tragic Xia Fei

Lin Xingyu remembered that among the items the System listed as necessary for his Inner World's growth were space-attribute Materials.

"Since you guys used loan sharks to scam me, wouldn't it be fair for me to take your space stones?"

However, he was still very weak right now, so he could only focus on developing first.

"Tomorrow, I'll buy some supplies, and then I'll go kill monsters!"

After browsing the forum, Lin Xingyu put away his wristband and fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps he was dreaming of something happy, a slight smile played on his lips... Just as Lin Xingyu drifted off to sleep.

Outside Starfall City, in Falling Phoenix Valley.

Xia Fei arrived here covered in wounds, his spiritual energy motorcycle nowhere to be seen.

"I've really had a run of bad luck!"

"When did such a large pack of wolves appear there?"

"I never heard of it in my previous life?"

"Fortunately, I escaped with a scare; now it's time for the harvest!"

"I remember that spatial rift was in the southwest corner of Falling Phoenix Valley, a very secluded spot..."

Xia Fei rubbed his hands excitedly and began to search.

However, an hour passed... Xia Fei finally found the place from his memory.

But... "What the hell is this?"

A large hole appeared before him, clearly carved out by human hands.

Looking at the scene, Xia Fei suddenly had a bad premonition.

He rushed into the cave, taking big strides.

Sure enough, he didn't find the spatial rift even at the end of the cave.

"Did I remember incorrectly?"

Xia Fei was momentarily unable to accept it.

However, numerous traces before him indicated that a spatial rift had existed here.

What made it worse was that many of the traces on site were new... From this situation, it was clear that someone had beaten him to it.

Even just recently.

"If I hadn't encountered the wolf pack, perhaps..."

The more Xia Fei thought about it, the angrier he got.

"Is this how you treat a Reborn Person??"

"Could it be that after my Rebirth, that 'butterfly effect' flapped its wings?"

"It shouldn't be, I didn't do anything!"

"No..."

As he thought, Xia Fei suddenly realized something and instantly understood everything.

"Supreme Nianyu, that liar!!!"

"In her previous life, she must have obtained the Opportunity much earlier, not a month later, it's such a scam!"

"Who is this meant to guard against? Is there not even basic trust between people?"

...After a fit of venting, Xia Fei finally accepted reality.

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Fortunately, there's a backup option; I'll go get that Opportunity tomorrow."

"This time, it absolutely cannot be a scam!"

"Heavens, please show some respect to a Reborn Person!"

Xia Fei clasped his hands together and prayed silently.

At this moment, the sky was full of twinkling stars, as if responding, or perhaps...

The next morning.

Starfall City, South City Commercial District.

Lin Xingyu walked into a small shop specializing in beast-taming supplies.

"Boss, do you have beast luring incense?"

"Yes! We have F-rank to D-rank, what level do you need?"

Behind the counter, a drowsyFat (fat man) quickly got up and responded when he heard Lin Xingyu's call.

"F-rank is 1 unit of spirit crystal per stick, E-rank is 10 units of spirit crystal, and D-rank is 100 units of spirit crystal."

"That expensive?"

Lin Xingyu was a little surprised.

One must know, the drop rate for spirit crystals was very low.

The Spiritual Energy Research Institute had done tests, and it took about killing 30 exotic beasts to drop one spirit crystal.

That meant, even using F-rank beast luring incense, he would need to kill 30 first-order exotic beasts just to break even.

Of course, this didn't count the income from exotic beast Materials.

"Young man, you don't know, the Materials for making beast luring incense are very hard to find, this is already a very fair price."

"As a consumable, it's generally only used by large teams; if there are too few people, they can't withstand the impact of a beast horde."

"If you're alone, I don't recommend using beast luring incense, as it will put you in danger!"

Hearing the boss's words, Lin Xingyu smiled and nodded.

"The boss is quite honest, aren't you afraid I won't buy it?"

"Of course, I don't earn ill-gotten gains, so I have many repeat customers!"

"The boss is not only an honest person but also a smart one."

"I want 2 D-rank, 10 E-rank, and 30 F-rank ones."

"Alright! I'll pack them up for you right away, that's 330 units of spirit crystal in total."

Seeing Lin Xingyu want so many, the boss immediately became excited.

"Additionally, as a big customer, I'll give you an extra F-rank Spiritual Seed; you can choose it here."

The boss deftly packed the beast luring incense and pointed to the shelf nearby.

The price of an F-rank Spiritual Seed wasn't high, usually around 10 units of spirit crystal; the boss knew how to do business.

Hearing this, Lin Xingyu looked towards the nearby shelf.

He saw a dense array of F-rank Spiritual Seeds displayed there.

He began to check them one by one.

His luck was good this time; he soon picked one that was useful to him.

【spirit seed】

【Quality: F】

【Description: After hatching, an F-rank "Soul Pendant" can be obtained.】

This Soul Pendant was a Soul-type defensive gear.

It could help the wearer resist one Soul attack not exceeding second-order intensity.

Although it was a one-time use defensive gear, it was still very practical.

"Boss, I want this one!"

"Alright!"

...After buying the beast luring incense, Lin Xingyu went on a shopping spree in the commercial district.

First, he purchased some building Materials; he began to construct a simple house in his Inner World.

After a series of clanging and banging, he went to an outdoor supplies store.

"Boss, do you have tents, big ones..."

...After setting up the tent, he added some simple furniture and daily necessities.

After a busy period, a simple "home" was completed.

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Xingyu nodded with satisfaction.

From now on, when hunting outside, he could spend the night in his Inner World.

Although the Inner World could create things out of nothing, it required consuming a large amount of World Power.

Wasting it on such trivial matters wasn't worth it.

"When I get the chance, I'll get a palace-type spirit seed and put it there."

...Starfall City, outside the city gate.

Several lazy figures leaned against trees, watching Lin Xingyu's retreating back.

"Brother Hu, that kid left!"

"Go, follow him, find a secluded place to deal with him!"

"It's not easy for us to act in the city, but it's different in the wilderness."

"This kid is really bold, daring to snatch something from our Blood Wolf Gang."

These people were members of the Blood Wolf Gang.

There are no impenetrable walls in the world.

At this time, the Blood Wolf Gang had already found out that Lin Xingyu and a few others had gone to World-Saving Hall on the day of the incident.

Coupled with the fact that he, who was originally not well-off, suddenly equipped two pieces of spirit gear.

It was clear the money came from selling the potions.

This led the Blood Wolf Gang to directly pinpoint Lin Xingyu, resulting in this scene outside the city gate... Lin Xingyu continued on, moving away from Starfall City.

He planned to go to the location where he last encountered the wolf pack to kill monsters.

He hadn't gone far before he realized he was being followed.

Although the other party used equipment to conceal their figures, Lin Xingyu had the System.

Those few extra information boxes that appeared out of nowhere were still very conspicuous.

"One first-order seven-star, four first-order five-star, all Blood Wolf Gang members."

"No big problem, I can handle it!"
