Chapter 87: Spending Over a Million, with 16,000 Krypton Points Remaining
Outside, a group of people are groaning in despair.
Inside the box, however, Qin Xiu is overjoyed, practically bursting with happiness.
“Hahaha, I like this approach! Talking about money is indeed too tacky, not fitting for Miss Ling,” Qin Xiu chuckled.
If it were an auction, Qin Xiu wouldn’t have much confidence.
There are simply too many wealthy people in the capital.
Considering Ling Kexin’s status, if she wanted to snag the first guest, it would certainly cost several million spirit stones.
But comprehending the essence of the tune is a completely different story.
He possesses a body of enlightenment.
How many people in the capital can compare with him?
In the younger generation, there isn’t anyone who comes close.
So, the outcome this time is basically a sure win for him.
“Your Highness, it seems your frequent visits have proven effective. Ling Kexin is clearly favoring you. Knowing you have a body of enlightenment and your comprehension surpasses others, she naturally chose such a challenge.”
“I guess she was too shy to just pick you, Your Highness, so she fabricated this so-called test,” Pang Zhou added with a flattering grin.
“Oh? Is that so? Well, now that you mention it, it does seem quite plausible. Looks like capturing Ling Kexin is just around the corner!”
Qin Xiu couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the thought.
“But I’ve heard that Prince Bei is quite formidable too. His comprehension ability demonstrated in the martial arts library last time was a bit over the top. I’m worried he might outpace me.”
He remembered something Qin Ke had told him.
When Qin Bei was in the martial arts library, he managed to pull out several heavenly martial arts techniques in no time at all.
That’s something even he, with his body of enlightenment, couldn’t manage.
But as worried as he was, Qin Xiu didn’t have a good plan.
In his heart, even though Qin Bei only got the prince title thanks to the saintess,
it didn’t change the fact that Qin Bei’s and his own statuses were on the same level now.
He’s at most two years older, with no other advantages.
So he refrained from making any other moves.
…….
“Brother, since we still have a day left, why don’t we go to the Chef Immortal Pavilion for a nice meal tonight?”
Qin Bei, oblivious to Qin Xiu’s thoughts, suggested to Qin Zhen.
“Of course! My treat! The dishes at the Chef Immortal Pavilion are no worse than the rewards my father gives on festivals.”
The two of them laughed and chatted as they left the Spirit Pavilion.
This little escapade caught the attention of Xiao Huan on the second floor.
She thought to herself, while everyone else was impatient, Prince Bei looked ever so leisurely.
It seems having a wife like the Saintess makes a man different from mere mortals.
Inside the Spirit Pavilion.
Ling Kexin was watching Qin Bei through a mirror.
Others might think this guest of honor was for Qin Xiu.
But in reality, it was for Qin Bei.
Ling Kexin certainly wasn’t infatuated with Qin Bei at first sight.
She wasn’t that foolish; knowing that Qin Bei had a wife, she wouldn’t just fall in love instantly.
It was all because of the Floating Spirit Compass on Qin Bei.
She had been searching for this item for many years.
One of her reasons for coming to Great Xia was indeed the quest for the Floating Spirit Compass.
The limitations of the Foundation Establishment Secret Realm were useless to her, so she had even ventured inside to look for it.
But she ended up empty-handed.
Now, it suddenly appeared on Qin Bei!
As a spirit being, she believed in fate.
So she understood that a connection between her and Qin Bei was inevitable.
Why wait passively when she could take action?
Moreover, she really wanted the Floating Spirit Compass that Qin Bei possessed.
Though she knew it wasn’t the compass’s true form, if she could acquire this incarnation, with enough luck, she could eventually find its real entity.
From then on, she could revitalize her spirit race and uncover the mystery of their disappearance.
But Qin Bei’s nonchalant attitude, wanting to indulge in feasting, left Ling Kexin feeling a bit defeated.
……
The food at the Chef Immortal Pavilion was extraordinary.
Both the ingredients and chefs were top-notch.
The only downside? It was exorbitantly expensive.
By the end of the meal, the three of them had spent 20,000 spirit stones.
Of course, in the end, it was Qin Bei who treated.
For him, it wasn’t much at all.
He even felt it was a steal.
Spending 20,000 spirit stones, he merely earned 200 krypton points.
Looking at the prompt on the system interface:
After that, Qin Bei took the trio on a wild adventure in Luofeng Tower.
No matter how many spirit stones it took, if it was fun, Qin Bei was all in.
Qin Zhen was reluctantly dragged along for the ride too.
Thus, the three of them enjoyed a carefree night.
They spent over a hundred thousand spirit stones.
It was all on Qin Bei.
Qin Bei took another look at the system interface.
Three thousand krypton points indicated that Qin Bei had spent a whopping 300,000 spirit stones.
Not a single one of those was used on cultivation resources; it was all for enjoyment.
This was actually quite a lot.
Typically, even the royal family wouldn’t dare to splurge that recklessly.
But for Qin Bei, that was peanuts.
After all, he had millions of spirit stones on him.
The reason for coming to Luofeng Tower was to both indulge himself and earn krypton points.
“If I keep this up, when will I ever run out of money?”
Qin Bei complained inwardly.
Sure, he was living it up, but the speed at which he was spending money was nothing compared to an auction house.
……
The next morning.
Qin Zhen and Qin Xuan watched as Qin Bei animatedly pointed and spoke ahead; they exchanged glances, and the helplessness in their eyes was unmistakable.
“Xiao Xuan, did your brother strike it rich or something? Or has he suddenly come into a fortune, leading him to indulge in reckless spending?”
Qin Zhen whispered.
“I’m not sure, but I do know that our father seems to give my brother quite a lot of spirit stones every month. It seems to be from some under-the-table dealings. My brother won’t let me ask about it.”
Qin Xuan replied honestly.
“Father’s a bit biased, isn’t he?”
“If he knew how much my brother was spending, I wonder if he’d continue giving him spirit stones.”
Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly.
Meanwhile, Qin Bei was ecstatic.
“I want the sturgeon from the Snow Country! No matter how far, just get it here! And make sure it’s alive; you don’t have to worry about the spirit stones!”
“Oh, and I need tons of special spirit plants from the mixed domain. I’m loaded with spirit stones anyway!”
Qin Bei rambled on.
The staff at the All Things Pavilion hurriedly took notes.
Last night, Qin Bei felt that spending spirit stones on just fun activities was too slow.
So, he decided to buy some good stuff.
He wasn’t interested in cultivation resources whatsoever.
Right now, he had no desire for personal cultivation.
He was only thinking about using krypton points to directly exchange for cultivation level.
So he was spending money on quirky and expensive items.
Just like the luxury goods in his past life.
“Prince Bei, I can assure you that everything you’ve ordered will be delivered within three days. It will cost a total of 1.2 million low-grade spirit stones. As a prince, you can pay upon delivery.”
The staff said respectfully.
“Do I need that? Just give me the spirit stones now! And make sure everything is expedited! I want it all within a day!”
“Uh… that….”
“I’ll pay extra!”
“Deal!”
In the end, Qin Bei spent 1.3 million spirit stones.
Looking at the 16,000 krypton points in the system, Qin Bei felt a lot more at ease.
These krypton points were more than enough for him to spend extravagantly for now.
