As Yan hugged his two "fire pokers" and retreated to the side, silently squatting to draw circles and curse the world, Xie Yue could only sigh helplessly before stepping forward.
He didn't share Yan's desperate craving for a spirit ring.
Last night, he had cultivated steadily and broken through to Level 40 on his own.
The matter of a spirit ring could simply be left to fate.
After witnessing a chain of miracles—and Yan's own "miracle"—Xie Yue's heart had already become like still water.
Whatever comes, comes.
Xie Yue placed his 500 gold coins on the counter, movements respectful and calm.
[Consumption: 500 gold coins]
[System Evaluation: A small leek with a peaceful mindset. With no desires, he is strong. We can give him something small to send him off.]
[Random Reward: A 7,800-year spirit ring]
[Host Reward: 50 food points]
Lin Feng didn't even bother lifting his eyelids. He felt like yawning.
He casually pointed at Xie Yue.
"Your reward: a 7,800-year spirit ring."
As the words landed—
hum!
A deep violet halo appeared from nothing and instantly wrapped around Xie Yue's body.
Everyone remained composed… except Yan.
The man who'd been muttering resentfully in the corner suddenly froze.
Then, like an ancient puppet with rusted joints, he slowly… rigidly… painfully… turned his head.
When he saw the deep violet glow beneath Xie Yue's feet, his eyes bulged red.
7,800 years?!
A spirit ring?!
Why?!
Why was fate so unfair?!
The spirit ring he dreamt about, begged for, prayed for—
This straight-faced, deadpan monk of a man received without effort?!
And it wasn't just seven thousand years…
It was seven thousand eight hundred!
His face twisted like someone had stuffed an entire basket of sour lemons into his mouth.
Meanwhile, Xie Yue himself was stunned into silence.
He stared at the spirit ring under his feet, his mind blank.
I… got a spirit ring?
"Th-thank you, Senior, for the ring!"
He hastily bowed, eyes trembling with excitement.
Around them, the Titled Douluo's gazes toward Lin Feng grew fanatical.
They understood.
Senior's acts are tests of character.
Yan's obsession and greed earned him nothing.
Xie Yue's calm mind and lack of desire earned him heaven's blessing.
Senior was enlightening them once again.
Finally, it was Hu Liena's turn.
Her footsteps were light, her foxlike eyes glowing faintly as she looked at Lin Feng.
[Consumption: 500 gold coins]
[System Evaluation: This initial leek seed is good; her loyalty is extremely high. We can consider…]
[Random Reward: Slight increase in mental force]
[Host Reward: 50 food points]
Lin Feng's expression twitched.
"System, didn't you stop mid-sentence?"
[The small-fry host will know tonight.]
Lin Feng: …Dog system.
Always keeping him in suspense.
He flicked his finger, and a soft glow shot into Hu Liena's glabella.
"Your reward: slight increase in mental force, strengthened Charm ability."
Hu Liena trembled.
Her mind instantly sharpened—
the world grew clearer, more real, more detailed.
And her innate Charm was no longer simply a mental influence.
It had gained something deeper—
a trace of soul-level allure.
This was far more precious than a spirit ring.
"Thank you, Senior."
Her bow was sincere.
When she lifted her head and smiled, her fox eyes seemed to hold entire galaxies.
But she didn't notice the effect that smile carried.
The invisible wave of charm rippled across the room.
In the corner, Yan—still hugging his two divine fire pokers—froze.
All sorrow evaporated.
His pig-headed face transformed into dumb, fervent devotion.
"Nana…"
He tried to stand, as if preparing to offer the two Godly Zhuge Crossbows as tribute to a sovereign queen—
"You SIT DOWN!"
Xie Yue grabbed him and slammed him back into the chair.
Even he, as her brother, felt a moment of mental tremor earlier.
This wasn't attraction between man and woman.
It was absolute dominance, the kind that came from the essence of life itself.
Just what terrifying divine ability had Senior gifted her?!
Seeing that everyone had finished drawing their rewards, Lin Feng completely lost the desire to maintain his aloof façade.
He didn't even wait for their gratitude speeches.
With a lazy wave:
"Alright. Today's business is over. You can all leave."
To them, it was the indifferent dismissal of a god bothered by mortals.
"We obey!"
Ghost Douluo led the others out with utmost reverence.
Bang.
The heavy wooden door closed.
"—Hoo!"
The "godly" expression on Lin Feng's face collapsed instantly.
He melted into the rocking chair like a puddle.
Acting.
So much acting.
"System, I announce that today's performance was flawless."
[Heh. You get this tired from one day? Pathetic. Your mediocre acting still needs work, small fry host.]
"Tch."
Lin Feng ignored the tsundere system.
There was only one thing he cared about now.
His favorite post-performance ritual—
Settling today's earnings!
"System! Tally today's points!"
His eyes gleamed like a greedy merchant.
[Calculating today's total consumption…]
Ghost Douluo: 38,000
Devil Bear Douluo: 40,000
Spirit Kite Douluo: 43,000
Saint Dragon Douluo: 35,000
Ghost Leopard Douluo: 32,000
Chrysanthemum Douluo: 34,000
Golden Generation: 1,550
[Total: 223,550 gold coins]
[Food points obtained: 22,355]
Over twenty thousand points!
At this rate, three or four more waves of "leeks" and he would hit 100,000 points—
and unlock the System Mall!
Just imagining the treasures from other worlds made Lin Feng's mouth water.
He pulled open his assets panel.
Adding yesterday's leftovers, his total food points reached—
37,930.
Less than two-thirds away.
Three waves.
Three waves of leeks, and the All-Worlds Mall would open before him.
Lin Feng's heartbeat sped up.
This was the scent of profits.
