Shen Fei and the others had a feast at the Su Familyās restaurant, with Shen Fei leaving behind two epic items and a longsword, which was also level 20 lordās equipment.
The rest of the equipment and skill books were sold to Su Bai and Wang Xun.
All of a sudden, over twenty million was in hand.
Shen Fei suddenly felt a bit desensitized to money.
But he learned from Su Bai and Wang Xun that the drop rate for equipment is really low.
In fact, most equipmentās quality is a level lower than expected.
Even for them, lord level and rare level equipment are relatively scarce, or rather, never not scarce.
After all, equipment wears out.
And it also requires updates and iterations.
"This is really rolling in wealth!"
When Shen Fei returned home, the sky was already dark.
He leaned on the sofa, looking at the extra twenty million on his card.
If he really wanted to earn money, he could even find easier dungeons for a chaotic spree, guaranteeing profits.
But exploiting the nation shouldnāt be done.
He also knew how the equipment in dungeons was obtained.
But the abyss...
"Iām off to read a novel. Originally, they said I wouldnāt need to step in." The Empress waved her hand, ran into Shen Feiās room, and lay on the bed to start reading.
Meanwhile, Little Cang was watching TV; compared to novels, he preferred the lively drama shows.
"Stabbing Immortal, is there anything you would like?"
Shen Fei asked the air.
Stabbing Immortal knew her abilities were special, often hiding in the void on regular days to burst with the strongest attack during battles.
But Shen Fei worried sheād be bored.
"Um... well, could you buy some milk tea for me, Master?... Uh, pearl milk tea is fine, it doesnāt need to be too expensive." Stabbing Immortalās voice carried a hint of girlish shyness and embarrassment.
"Of course."
Shen Fei quickly placed an order for more than a dozen cups of milk tea on his phone; if he didnāt indulge his summoned beast, who would?
"Thank you, Master!"
A crisp voice came from the air, indeed sounding like a young girl.
"No need to be polite."
Shen Fei leaned on the sofa, starting to calculate how else he could use his money, and opened the panels of Vast Heaven Venerable, Five Elements Empress, and Stabbing Immortal.
"For Little Cang, just keep feeding him. Should I feed him the Heart of Commander?" Shen Fei looked at the [Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique] entry and hesitated.
He was now level 19, just one level away from being able to use the Heart of Commander, but figured he might as well wait.
Epic equipment is extremely precious to many people, but for Shen Fei, encountering epic abyssal creatures guarantees drops.
By then, some equipment that he couldnāt use would be fed to Vast Heaven Venerable.
The family was currently poor, why indulge in extravagant meals.
"But the anomalous fire..."
Shen Feiās gaze fell on the Five Elements Empress panel, and he began logging into the Breaking Abyss Army website, searching for anomalous fire tags, and soon several tags appeared.
Yet after a glance, Shen Fei closed them.
This darn Sea Green Flame, the cheapest, unexpectedly costs over a hundred million, even after discounts, and currently, it seems that anomalous fire is indeed relatively rare.
The summoned beastsā needs were quite extravagant; Shen Feiās family reserves werenāt thick enough yet.
"Little Ji, besides anomalous fire, do you need other flames?"
"Yes. Any flame can increase my skill damage, although anomalous fire is the best." Empressās voice came from within the room.
"Then Iāll buy them."
Shen Fei searched a bit more, finding indeed other flames, with anomalous fire mostly occurring in some special environments in the abyss, also present on Blue Star, but relatively rare.
Yet beast fire originated largely from some special animals and plants, as well as abyssal creatures, priced not too expensively, averaging four to five million.
These more unusual flames didnāt have significantly higher temperatures than normal flames, but were claimed to have special effects.
"Letās try buying two and see what happens." Shen Fei ordered two beast fires, Netherworld Leopard Flame and Spirit Wood Heart Flame.
One produced within an animalās body, the other within a plantās.
He checked which was better for the Empress.
After finishing these tasks, Shen Fei exhaled a breath, glanced at the time, noticing it was almost ten oāclock, scanned his phone, seeing no messages.
He was about to go shower, then wait for the milk tea to arrive.
Suddenly, a video call came through.
"Dusk Rain..." Shen Fei acted quickly, pressing the answer button, seeing an extremely beautiful face with a hint of allure but predominantly pure.
"Brother Shen Fei."
Su Muyu waved her small hand.
"Dusk Rain."
Shen Fei sat upright, listening to Su Muyu happily saying, "Did Brother Shen Fei receive the items I had sent?"
"Received."
"Thatās good. Brother Shen Fei, keep it up! But for now, Brother Shen Fei should be quite skilled. I heard from the principal that you are the captain of the exchange competition this time.
Iām on the team."
"Ah? Iām the captain!" Shen Fei was indeed unaware of this.
"I finally reached level 10 today, it was exhausting..."
Su Muyu playfully complained; she appeared as a cool goddess to others but a young girl before Shen Fei, and had been like this privately for the past three years.
"Thatās amazing. By the way, Iāll drop by when you return, Iāve prepared a gift for you." Shen Fei chuckled mischievously.
"What gift?" Su Muyu sounded curious.
"Youāll find out when the time comes. By the way, are you still near Shencheng City?"
"No, Iām at an abyss edge area, here referred to as the Lu City Defense Line. My teacher says my profession is better suited for leveling up here."
"I see." Shen Fei nodded.
"When I return, I should be able to reach level 13, then Iāll take Brother Shen Fei leveling up. Iām quite something now."
"Alright~" Shen Fei smiled and nodded, glancing at his own level...
The gap between level 13 and level 19 seemed quite wide.
"By the way, I met Brother Bai today."
"Ah? He didnāt give you any trouble, did he?" Su Muyu sounded a bit worried, mainly fearing that her brother would look down on Shen Fei.
"No, weāre on good terms."
Shen Fei wasnāt lying; if not for Su Muyu, Su Bai wouldāve had to call Shen Fei "Brother" as well.
"Whew~ Thatās good. If he bullies you, just let me know. Iāll go beat him up!"
Su Muyu nodded.
Shen Fei: "I kind of miss you."
"I miss Brother Shen Fei too. Oh, right. Brother Shen Fei, remember to pay respects to uncle and auntie for me; I couldnāt visit their graves this month."
"Understood."
Shen Fei nodded, and at this moment, a distant voice came from Su Muyuās side, "Timeās up, Dusk Rain."
"Ah? Alright... okay." Su Muyuās face was full of disappointment, but thinking she was nearly home cheered her up quickly.
"Brother Shen Fei, Iām going to level up now."
"So late?"
"The teacher says talent is talent, effort is effort, and any profession requires understanding beyond mere level for better skill utilization..." Su Muyu said softly.
Shen Fei nodded, this indeed was the case.
"Well, go ahead then."
"Mua~" Su Muyu kissed the screen, which then went dark.
Shen Fei sat dazed for a while, letting out a breath, "Iām missing this nizi more and more."
