Philip reminded everyone to stay calm. He had no idea what to expect, but it was better to be careful. They soon arrived at the door of the store. It was very quiet with no people on the street. They heard something as they approached. It was as if someone was breathing into their ears and laughing hysterically. They could not even tell whether the voice was male or female. Aslan shuddered, thinking it was terrifying. “Philip, what’s going on? Did the thing inside escape?” Lyle asked in puzzlement. Although he was not very scared, he felt chills all over. “Something inside is doing this. I noticed it during the day. The thing inside carries the same vibe as the fortune teller.” Ordinary people could not detect it, but Philip's five senses were more acute than others, so he could detect things that others could not. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other and realized something. “Philip, are you saying that the fortune teller is behind this? Did he bring this thing on purp
“You’re here. Are you interested in my store? You’re welcome to take a closer look. The yard at the back is very big. You can move right in! There are even small houses at the back!” The old man greeted Philip very warmly. He was probably very interested in this store to return. “Indeed, I'm quite interested in your store,” Philip said with a smile. Oracle turned up, surprised to see Philip and the others again. “Didn’t you take a look last night?” Although Oracle spoke to Philip smugly, Philip saw the fatigue in his eyes. Oracle’s booth was a wreck last night. Oracle had to replace the flag this morning and buy new stools for the booth. “I did take a look last night. I saw people knocking your booth over,” Philip said with a smile, waiting for Oracle’s explanation. “Hehe, only the street punks would do that. My booth has nothing to do with them!” Oracle cursed unhappily. Philip disagreed. “It won’t be a problem if you set up a booth in a designated area, but this p
Philip smiled as a plan formed in his mind. Seeing that Philip was serious about this store, Oracle felt nervous. He did not expect that Philip would intervene. His plan was just about to succeed as the old man was ready to give in, but Philip decided to buy the store instead. “What? If you were here last night, don’t you realize what’s going on? Are you not afraid?” Oracle threatened Philip fiercely. In his opinion, Philip was seeking death. Philip signaled Aslan. Aslan rushed forward, grabbed Oracle, and threw him into the store. “Do you have the cheek to say that? If not for you, this store might have been sold for millions of energy stones!” They had inspected the store. Both its renovation and location were quite good. More importantly, the store looked very grand, a good fit for Philip’s tastes. The small houses in the backyard were well-built, more than enough to accommodate a dozen people. Hence, Philip felt that the price was too low. Philip thought it was
Oracle grimaced, shocked that Philip exposed his secret in public. With Philip’s explanation and Oracle’s reaction, the old man finally realized what happened. He was shocked by the truth. Oracle did not hesitate to kill most of his family members just for the store. His family was everything to him. Oracle was simply appalling for harming others just for a store. The old man could hardly control himself. He took a magic weapon and attacked Oracle. The weapon was all the old man had left. He planned to sell the magic weapon to treat his son's illness. “I can cure your son's condition and also pay you 800,000 energy stones for the store,” Philip said solemnly without any intention of taking advantage of the old man. The old man nodded. Although he was devastated to learn the truth, the dead could not return to life, but the living had to continue to survive. “Can you really cure my son? He has lost his mind.” The old man called his son over and looked at his foolish son he
The old man burst into tears at his son’s recovery. He hugged his son and shook his head helplessly. Philip asked Lyle to give the old man the money before leaving with the house deed. They had to buy some daily necessities, so they left the space to the father and son instead of wasting time.Before they left, Philip sealed Oracle’s energy core. No matter how powerful Oracle was, he could not break Philip's constraints by force. “This guy is no different from an ordinary person now. You can do whatever you want,” Philip said. The old man was excited to hear Philip’s casual remark. He had suffered enough of Oracle’s torture. He would not miss the opportunity to teach Oracle a good lesson. “That’s great. You’re such a good person, young man. Not only did you solve such a big problem for me, but you also helped me deal with this mean guy!” The old man dragged Oracle away excitedly. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He wanted revenge. This so-called fortune teller
Aslan kindly gave Lyle a soft mattress too. Lyle was hooked and wished he could stay in bed every day. At this time, Philip brought out some pills, weapons, and charms, all byproducts from the kids’ practice. Although most of them were considered semi-finished products, Philip felt they were good enough. Philip had done a market survey. Although the products on the market looked good, the actual results were not as good as expected. Philip knew that he had to open a store to gain popularity. The opening of Philip’s store attracted the attention of many people. Everyone wondered if anything was wrong with the store. Many people watched cautiously, but no one dared to enter. Some bolder people took a closer look and found that the spooky feeling was no longer there. “You’re really bold to buy this store. Are you not afraid of death?” “Haven’t you heard the rumors about this place? You should have asked around before buying this store!” Everyone advised Philip to get a
His body was not only marred with old wounds but also old illnesses that had not been treated properly. Such things had an impact on practice, so his level had been stagnant over the years because of this. This commander was not young. If he could not find a way to level up, he might leave the world soon with his current physical fitness. Although he was relatively young among practitioners, his injuries were too serious. He was curious about the pill Philip handed to him and wondered what Philip meant. “Do you want to sell this pill to me?” The commander was puzzled to find someone selling something to him. When he was younger, he tried various pills to treat his problems, but nothing worked over the years. As he fought on the battlefield again and again, his problems became more serious, and old wounds tended to relapse. His wounds ached at night, making him very uncomfortable. He was out to look for a cure and discovered this store. Philip's store was quite nice,
“Don’t worry. As a businessman, I won’t make a loss. If my pill can cure you, I believe you’ll become the best walking advertisement for me. If I’m not mistaken, you have an extraordinary status.” Philip smiled at him. He had identified the other party's identity at a glance. With so many injuries, he had to be someone in a fairly good position. It would be a pity if he died. The commander was surprised that Philip was so smart to recognize his identity at a glance. “In that case, your wish is my command. I’ll accept this pill. As for the result, I’ll give you the feedback!” He was confident in his influence. If the pill produced any effects, he would do as Philip said without hesitation and recommend Philip to others. He trusted Philip and swallowed the pill in one go. The commander's expression changed after taking the pill. He was amazed by the pill, which melted in his mouth and made him very comfortable. He trembled all over at this extraordinary feeling. “I feel l
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
