"Dr. Lan?!" Gao Neng’s expression darkened. ’Why does everyone know Dr. Lan? Is her social circle really that wide?’
He listened to the sounds outside.
Gui Zian had already left.
Gao Neng breathed a temporary sigh of relief. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to let Gui Zian in, but Gao Xiaong was still lying on his bed.
He really couldn’t let anyone in.
’I’ll just keep experinting with my Source Ability. I’ll deal with Dr. Lan when she gets here. Does she really think I’m afraid of her? If worse cos to worst... I’ll just have to sacrifice my body!’ Gao Neng grit his teeth.
This ti, he didn’t experint on any tables or chairs.
It wasn’t worth it.
’If the Source Ability’s description is right, it can ignore the structure of matter. That should an it can forcibly change a substance’s properties, right?’
’Reverting to its initial state... like a tree turning into a seed.’
’But what about evolution?’
Gao Neng thought for a mont, then pulled out the large backpack hidden under his bed.
Inside was a bountiful harvest: one hundred crystal ores. Besides those, there was also a pile of clothes and other things left by the Seventh Princess.
He didn’t pay much attention to the clothes and other things.
His gaze was fixed on the crystal ores.
’Let’s try it! If I can really evolve these crystal ores, this ability is terrifying!’ After a mont of hesitation, Gao Neng picked one out.
It was a fist-sized crystal ore of seemingly average quality.
He’d been in a hurry to gather a hundred pieces at the ti and hadn’t been too picky, so so of the crystal ores weren’t very large.
"Use Source Ability on this ore!"
"Please select a direction for the ’Source’: revert to initial state or evolve to the next tier."
"Evolve to the next tier."
"Analysis: A common crystal ore, when evolved to the next tier, can beco a crystal ore with special abilities. The appended ability will be ’random.’ Do you wish to evolve?"
"Evolve!" Gao Neng grit his teeth.
DING! 500,000 Alliance Coins deducted from Host!
"Evolution successful. Crystal ore has evolved into ’Fla Crystal Ore.’ Quality: dium-grade. (Fla Crystal Ore is a special ore found in volcanoes. If used to craft weapons or battle armor, it can be imbued with the fla attribute.)"
’500,000 Alliance Coins?! A common crystal ore turned into a Fla Crystal Ore... Did I make a profit on this deal, or did I take a loss?’ Gao Neng glanced at the now bright red Fla Crystal Ore in his hand, feeling both excited and lancholy.
’Half a million, gone just like that!’
’But, co to think of it...’
’I should have still made a profit.’
According to the system’s description, Fla Crystal Ore was a special ore found in volcanoes, aning it couldn’t be mined elsewhere.
There’s a saying: the rarer sothing is, the more valuable it becos.
The scarcer it is, the more expensive it is!
’Setting everything else aside, just taking a trip into a volcano—the ti cost, the travel expenses—all of that added up would probably be more than half a million.’
’An epic-tier ability! It really is super powerful. I wonder if it can evolve things other than ore? I’ll have to explore it more in the future!’ Gao Neng didn’t continue experinting.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to.
It was that he had no money!
After returning from the Elf Territory, he had three million Alliance Coins left. He’d spent so during his fights, leaving him with less than two million. Just now, he’d spent another 500,000.
Now he only had a little over 1.4 million left.
If he kept experinting, he wouldn’t even be able to afford his transformation.
’Still need money!’ Gao Neng subconsciously picked up the card Li Tiannan had given him and looked it over. ’There’s no PIN written on this card, is there? Don’t tell Li Tiannan is trying to screw over. He promised a billion, but he’s just letting look at it? Is he treating like his personal piggy bank?’
’I’ll have to find so ti to try it out.’
’Maybe it doesn’t even need a PIN!’
As Gao Neng thought this, his gaze fell upon the Middle-tier Secret Manual that had dropped on the floor.
’Might as well take a look at the Middle-tier Secret Manual Li Tiannan gave .’ Gao Neng picked it up and opened it to the first page, where two large words were written in a flourishing script.
*Electromagnetic Storm*!
’Electromagnetic Storm?’ Gao Neng knew that mid-tier and low-tier combat styles were different, but these two words still gave him quite a shock.
He could understand electromagnetism.
After all, he was the one who had built Fang Tangtang’s No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon.
The biggest difference between the No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon and other electromagnetic cannons was that it could form an Electromagnetic Protective Shield around the user.
He wondered if this *Electromagnetic Storm* was the sa.
Gao Neng began to read it carefully.
Half an hour later...
He closed the secret manual.
’So it really is a Domain Combat Technique!’ Gao Neng now truly understood the difference between Mid-Tier and low-tier Fighting Skills. This was a Domain Combat Technique.
The so-called *Electromagnetic Storm*.
It wasn’t just about forming a simple electromagnetic field around the body. Instead, it involved manipulating electromagnetism in highly diverse ways, such as imbuing it onto one’s body or using it to directly strike people.
Most importantly, a Mid-Tier Fighting Skill could be used in conjunction with low-tier ones.
For example: using *Electromagnetic Storm* in combination with the Sword Drawing Technique and Half-Step Kill.
In that case, the instant Gao Neng drew his sword, electromagnetism would cover the blade, forming a sharp magnetic field on it.
It could be understood as the sword transforming into an "Electric Saber" the mont it was drawn.
Then, when he slashed down, he could create a Storm Electric Blade Slash!
The power would be at least doubled!
In addition to that, *Electromagnetic Storm* also had defensive applications, thods for mid-to-long-range object control, and more.
To put it simply, as long as it was within the range of his energy’s coverage, the *Electromagnetic Storm* could be freely controlled and combined with various other fighting skills.
’This is good stuff, worthy of being a Mid-Tier Fighting Skill!’ Gao Neng took a deep breath. This fighting skill’s greatest feature was its incredible compatibility.
And its power was imnse.
’I wonder if I can use the Wordless Celestial Book to upgrade this thing?’
Gao Neng decided to try.
"Use the Wordless Celestial Book to upgrade *Electromagnetic Storm*!"
"DING! Upgrading *Electromagnetic Storm* requires 50,000,000 Alliance Coins. Do you wish to upgrade?" the chanical voice prompted quickly.
"Fifty million?!" Gao Neng rembered that upgrading the Sword Drawing Technique had only cost eight million, but now upgrading this *Electromagnetic Storm* cost fifty million?
’Isn’t that too outrageous?’
’This Wordless Celestial Book is a real ripoff!’
’But, *Electromagnetic Storm* is already so strong. If I upgrade it, won’t it beco even stronger?’
"Upgrade!" As if possessed, Gao Neng chose yes. He didn’t have the money anyway. ’Fifty million... this trash system might as well just go rob a bank.’
DING! Upgrade successful!
"*Electromagnetic Storm* has evolved into *Supergravity Electromagnetic Storm*!"
"What the hell? What the hell? What the hell?!" Gao Neng shot to his feet, imdiately opening his phone to check his remaining Alliance Coin balance.
Balance: 1,987,400.
"Huh? That’s not right. Why do I have this much money?" Gao Neng was montarily stunned. He rembered this was the amount he had after returning from the battlefield.
But he had clearly just spent 500,000 upgrading the Fla Crystal Ore.
’Wait a minute!’
’If it didn’t deduct my money, then whose money did it deduct?’
’The card?! It’s the money on this card!’ Gao Neng instantly understood. He really didn’t have the PIN for this card, but it was the card Li Tiannan had given him.
’Which ans...’
’The trash system defaults to this card belonging to !’
’Whoa!’
’I think I just struck it rich.’
’One billion!’
’I have a billion!’
...
「In a small courtyard in the City of Hope.」
Li Tiannan stared intently at the notifications on his phone, his lips trembling slightly, because a constant stream of deduction alerts was appearing on the screen.
The first ti, it was a deduction of 5,000.
He didn’t pay it any mind.
The second ti, 500,000 was deducted.
He didn’t pay it much mind either.
But the third ti, it was a deduction of 50,000,000 all at once.
Li Tiannan’s eyes were starting to turn red.
’I don’t rember telling Gao Neng the PIN, do I? Why is this kid using my card to make purchases? And three tis in a row?!’
The most crucial part was that the reason for the deduction was listed as: Unknown.
’How the hell did that brat guess my PIN? No... I have to change my PIN!’ Without hesitation, Li Tiannan started the process of changing it imdiately.
’If he keeps spending like this, my one billion will probably be gone in three days.’
Even for a Strongest, one billion was no small sum! ’I was just joking, did you really think I’d just hand over a billion upon eting you? It’s not like I own a bank.’
After changing the PIN, Li Tiannan felt much more at ease.
’You little brat, you’re still too green to play gas with !’
Just as he was thinking this, another notification appeared on his phone.
"Alert: Your bank card ending in 0568 has been charged for a purchase of 500,000 Alliance Coins. Reason for deduction: Unknown."
"Alert: Your bank card ending in 0568 has been charged for a purchase of 800,000 Alliance Coins. Reason for deduction: Unknown."
"Alert: Your bank card ending in 0568 has been charged for a purchase of 700,000 Alliance Coins. Reason for deduction: Unknown."
"Alert..."
"..."
"What is this?!" Li Tiannan stared at the notifications flooding his phone screen, feeling as though he was being hollowed out.
’But I changed the PIN!’
’How is this possible?!’
’What kind of Magic did that kid use?!’
’My billion!’
’It’s about to be gone...’
"No, I have to transfer the money! I have to transfer it right now!" Li Tiannan’s hands were shaking as he snatched up his phone and quickly began operating it.
Soon, a prompt popped up.
Alert: Incorrect PIN.
Alert: Incorrect PIN.
Alert: Incorrect PIN.
After three consecutive failed attempts, the PIN was locked, and further operations were temporarily impossible.
"Alert: Your bank card ending in 0568 has been charged for a purchase of 1,000,000 Alliance Coins. Reason for deduction: Unknown."
"Alert: Your bank card ending in 0568 has been charged for a purchase of 900,000 Alliance Coins. Reason for deduction: Unknown."
"Alert..."
"..."
Li Tiannan looked at the locked bank card on his phone, then listened to the unending stream of deduction alerts, and his face finally turned beet red.
"Gao Neng, I’m going to kill you!"
...
「Eastern Capital Military Academy, Dormitory.」
Gao Neng, of course, had no idea what expression Li Tiannan was making. He was currently taking the crystal ores out of his bag one by one, upgrading, upgrading, and upgrading again...
’Being rich feels so good!’ Gao Neng looked at the huge pile of red, green, purple, and various other Attribute Ores on the floor, grinning so wide he could barely close his mouth.
’With these ores!’
’I can craft even more powerful equipnt.’
’Isn’t everyone just fighting and stealing?!’
’I’d like to see who dares to compete with !’
For the first ti, Gao Neng felt his confidence skyrocketing.
The quotas for the "Revolution" were too few.
The Military Departnt, the great families, the sects—they were all fighting and scrambling for them. The near future would be incredibly bloody, and these Attribute Ores would beco his greatest asset.
’I’ll keep a portion for myself and sell the rest. One billion can quickly turn into two billion, or even three billion... Hahaha, I’m going to be a multi-billionaire!’ Gao Neng used to think making money was too hard, but now, he felt it couldn’t be easier.
Such a huge pile of Attribute Ores.
Selling them off would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
’With money...’
’...I can get stronger!’
’...I can do whatever I want!’
’Who dares to stop ?’
’Hahaha, who dares to stop ?!’
CRACK!
The door was kicked open.
