Resistance was futile, so all Tang Ling could do was figure out what the punishment was.
Unfortunately, Kun did not even spare him the chance.
He clenched his fist and the Dream Coins disintegrated into light spots before vanishing into his hand.
Then, he waved his hand and the endless shelves behind him opened up a few more drawers and a few items fell into Kun's hands.
Everything happened too fast. Tang Ling did not even manage to count how many shelves he had opened even after stretching his neck.
As for how many items he had opened? Kun's hands were on the table, so Tang Ling could not see clearly.
"These are the items that the Mysterious Store is exchanging with you." Kun waved his hand and the items flew towards Tang Ling.
Tang Ling did not even have the time to pay attention to the items as he grumbled, "Hey, I haven't even chosen a single item."
"This is a punishment. Don't you understand? Your choice has been taken away, "Kun replied as though it was a fact.
"You can take away my choice, but you can't take away my right to know. You gave me a few random things. What if they're only worth 10 Dream Coins? Dream Coins are very precious. "
"Moreover, you only charged me 5 Dream Coins for the germ suppressant you gave me just now. I seriously suspect that the Mysterious Store is bullying its customers. "Tang Ling's voice got softer as he spoke because he saw a smile on Kun's face.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling did not think that Kun would scam him, but he could not help but bargain with him. Who knew when the next dream entry would be? Who knew whether he could earn as many Dream Coins the next time? He might not even have the permission to enter the Mysterious Store the next time.
Besides, there would not be any kind-hearted Uncle Liu He giving him Dream Coins next time, would there?
Of course, Tang Ling wanted to maximize his profits. A piece of Level 3 vicious beast meat had helped him a lot, and he knew it very well.
"Hmph." Kun chuckled as he looked askance at Tang Ling. "Dream Coins are precious to you, but do you think they are precious to me?"
As he spoke, Kun waved his fair and slender fingers and countless Dream Coins appeared out of nowhere. They flickered in Kun's hand and formed a belt of light that resembled the Milky Way before vanishing all of a sudden.
Tang Ling gulped nervously at the sight.
Kun waved his hand and a colorless, sparkling potion appeared in his hand.
"You 'rolled' in the Green Fungus Queen's bedroom and were infected with the deadly Green Fungus, which is a level two contagious disease in the universe."
"Do you think the so-called fungal suppressant will work where you are? Even if he took out the purest one, it would only have a slight suppressive effect. If they saved you at all costs and treated you with the so-called highest purity fungus inhibitor. "
"Let me see. Two a day. After three months, you will regain your mobility. After half a year, the green fungus in your body will be completely eliminated. "
"Oh, of course, I forgot one thing. There's a way to quickly get rid of the green fungus in your body, but it's a little painful. Do you want it? "The sneer on Kun's face was getting more obvious.
Tang Ling shook his head vehemently. He did not want it. He had just used this method in the Dream Domain and it was indeed simple and straightforward.
"Humph." Kun grabbed the transparent potion and said, "This is only available in the Mysterious Store — Type 1 Reappearance Potion. Eliminate the fungus and restore your true self. Eight Dream Coins for this. "
"If you're not satisfied, I'll return you five Dream Coins. I have a way to extract the reappearance potion from your body and plant mushrooms all over you. You can go back to where you came from and treat yourself."
"No." Tang Ling looked determined and serious as he firmly said no. He then said, "Lord Kun, with your beautiful face and peerless charm, I don't think I'll lose anything if I make a deal here. My biggest motivation for entering the dream is to see you, Lord Kun … "
"Shut up." Kun seemed to have lost his patience. He seemed to be chasing Tang Ling away.
How could Tang Ling allow Kun to chase him away? He still had not figured out what Kun had given him.
As for the potion, did he profit from it? Tang Ling felt great, but would Kun suffer a loss? Probably not. The tube of reappearance potion was worth eight Dream Coins, but Kun only injected 5 Dream Coins into him and kept the rest.
With that in mind, Tang Ling started to count the items that Kun had given him.
It was a book with a blue cover called Thousand Satin Skill Addendum.
What the hell is this? Tang Ling had a bad feeling when he read the name. With a heavy expression, he flipped through the book in his hand.
As expected, it was not a complete cultivation technique at all. Instead, it was a supplement and explanation for a cultivation technique called the Thousand Satin Skill.
"This …" Tang Ling gulped nervously. Aside from the fact that he had no idea what the Thousand Satin Skill was, even if he did, where would he find such a cultivation method?
On top of that, what about the Thousand Satin Skill? What kind of cultivation method was it? Tang Ling had no idea.
In the end, all he knew was that he was about to officially start cultivating. Even if he had a strange Thousand Satin Skill that sounded like an ancient Chinese martial art, he would not have the time to practice it, would he?
The concept of modern combat and the method of combining anaerobic and aerobic exercise to enhance one's inner strength were deeply ingrained in his mind.
What did he mean by cultivating by sitting cross-legged? What the hell was that?
This addendum was probably useless. It was a waste of Dream Coins. It was useless.
However, due to Kun's dominance, Tang Ling dared not say anything.
Then, he picked up something else. It was a wooden lump the size of a seed.
What's the use? It didn't feel heavy in his hands.
Tang Ling looked left and right and studied it repeatedly. He even used his Precise Instinct, but he could not figure out what it was.
Then, what about food? Can it be eaten?
With that in mind, Tang Ling wanted to put it into his mouth.
Kun, who had always been calm, finally frowned in disgust when he saw the scene. He did not stop Tang Ling. "This isn't food."
"Then, what is this?" Tang Ling raised a brow.
"A seed," Kun answered.
"What?" Tang Ling was a little surprised. He immediately thought of the seed in his heart and started to think about its origin. Did it come from the Mysterious Store as well?
If that's the case, is the person who gave me the seed also a Dream Seed?
Tang Ling had a feeling that things were getting complicated.
Besides, he already had a seed, so what was the point of taking another seed? Would he become a farmer in the future?
As if he saw through Tang Ling's thoughts, Kun's answer was unusually direct. "This isn't as interesting as your seed. It's not even comparable."
Tang Ling was stunned. Kun called it a seed, so he even knew that Tang Ling knew it was a seed?
Tang Ling suddenly had a feeling that Kun was peeking at him while he was taking a shower, but he dared not say it out loud.
Kun, of course, did not know that Tang Ling had such a dirty thought in his mind. If he knew, Tang Ling might not have the permission to enter the Mysterious Store for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Kun continued to explain, "This is just a one-time seed. If you plant it in your body at a critical moment, I mean anywhere, it will become a one-time energy storage seed. If you plant it in your body at a critical moment, I mean anywhere, it will become a one-time energy storage seed.
As long as it's filled with energy, it can be released at once. Have I made myself clear enough? "
Yes, I am.
But what use do I have for it? Tang Ling was deep in thought as he pinched the seed.
He was a huge consumer of energy. It was already difficult for him and the seed in his heart with his daily income, so where would he find the extra energy for this seed?
Even if he did give it to the seed and it was fully stored, it would be able to unleash a terrifying burst of energy, but it would only be a one-time use.
He might not be in urgent need of such a thing at the moment. However, he had to admit that it was a good thing.
With that in mind, Tang Ling looked up at Kun and asked, "Then, how much energy do you think it can store?"
The question was the key. If the storage was limited, it would be useless, and Tang Ling might even take back his comment about the seed being a good thing.
"You still don't have a clear concept of energy, so I'll explain it to you in a way that you understand. The maximum energy it can store is equivalent to 20 of you, "Kun explained in an unusually clear manner.
Tang Ling's breath turned heavy all of a sudden. What kind of concept is that?! If there were 20 of me, wouldn't I reach the standard of a Purple Moon Warrior?! As for what the standard of a Purple Moon Warrior was, unfortunately, Tang Ling had no idea.
However, if there were 20 of me, can't I be a Purple Moon Warrior?
"I still have another form …" Tang Ling started to ramble.
"It won't affect you. The seed's current form is just an amplifier. If it can amplify the current you, it can also amplify the stronger you, "Kun said calmly.
It was as if a hundred Tang Lings were nothing but a joke in his eyes.
However, Tang Ling was overjoyed. A killing machine! A goddamn killing machine! If he were to use this seed in a certain extreme situation, coupled with the seed in his heart, how powerful would he be?
Tang Ling started to think. Should he sneak into the battlefield and kill a Level 3 vicious beast? Or should he kill a Level 4 vicious beast?
With the thought in mind, Tang Ling was so excited that his hands were shaking.
"This is just a low-level war seed. Don't think too highly of it. At your current stage, you haven't even touched the most basic Law. It won't be of any help to the Law Domain, but it's enough to bully low-level existences. " Kun pouted and looked at Tang Ling as if he was looking at a bumpkin. He then looked at Tang Ling. "Don't forget that it needs to store energy."
Law? Tang Ling scratched his head. He immediately thought of Anthony with the Night Lightning and the lightning he used. He also thought about the castellan Worf with the spear and the black threads. As expected, there were still a lot of things that he did not understand in this world.
On top of that, storing energy was indeed a troublesome problem.
However, it did not affect Tang Ling's mood. He carefully put the so-called low-level war seed into his pocket as if he was a money-grubber.
Kun would never suffer a loss anyway, so the war seed should not be expensive. When he had Dream Coins in the future, he would have to exchange for a few more.
Who cares if it was a low-level war seed or not?
Tang Ling's little abacus was clicking noisily. With a smile on his face, he picked up the next item.
This item was a little strange. It was kept in a small transparent box the size of a fingernail. It was crystal clear, but upon a closer look, there seemed to be smoke flowing inside.
Tang Ling studied it for a long time, but he still could not figure out what it was.
Why don't I open the transparent box and have a look? With an idea in mind, Tang Ling was a man of action. He wanted to open the box, but Kun stopped him.
"If you want to be frozen right away, you can open it."
"What do you mean?" Tang Ling dared not move. What did it mean to be frozen? He was still a little confused.
"This is a drop of Extreme Cold Liquid that has been modified by the Mysterious Store. After you open the box that seals it, it will quickly spread out and create a small frozen space of absolute zero. "Kun seemed to be very patient. If Tang Ling asked, he would explain.
He had wanted to chase Tang Ling away before this.
"How big is the space?" Tang Ling had a vague idea of absolute zero. According to the old civilization's explanation, it was the lowest temperature that could be achieved based on the theory of thermodynamics — negative 273.15 degrees Celsius.
However, it was just a theory in the old civilization, so how could it become reality in the Mysterious Store?
Of course, Tang Ling believed that the Mysterious Store had the ability to do so!
"It's a killer weapon! It's another killer weapon! It's even more powerful than a lot of the explosives from the old civilization, okay? " Tang Ling was excited. The Mysterious Store was always able to surprise him. He started to imagine himself tossing the drop of Extreme Cold Liquid into the air and a frozen world appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the smile on Tang Ling's face, Kun's eyes somehow flashed with a faint sense of sadness.
However, Tang Ling did not notice the subtle change in Kun's expression. All he heard was Kun saying, "Don't overthink it. The small space it mentioned is really a small space. It's about the size of a palm.
The correct way to use it is to prepare a bucket of water with a ratio of 10,000: 1. If it was placed in water, its shell would automatically melt. Then, it will create a small frozen space that can last for more than a hundred years. It can't reach absolute zero, but the temperature it can reach should be negative 196 degrees Celsius. "
Negative 196 degrees Celsius? A strange feeling rose in Tang Ling's heart, but he could not pinpoint where the strange feeling came from.
Would it work by putting it in the bucket of water? Or would it have to melt the seal? How slow would it be?
Tang Ling suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked Kun again, "Then, if it's used correctly, how big is the frozen space it can create?"
"Around … Hmm, around the size of a single bed?" It was the first time Kun answered vaguely.
"What's the use of this thing?" Tang Ling was confused, but it was definitely a good item. Anything that the Mysterious Store could offer would always be something good.
"Hmm, the last one is the good wood core. The reason why it's called the good wood core is because it's a very good cooking ingredient. If you get vicious beast meat in the future, whenever you cook it, put a piece of the good wood core in it according to the ratio of 100: 1. The good wood core will produce a special chemical that will gently dissolve the energy in the vicious beast meat. It can increase your absorption rate of the vicious beast meat by more than 10%. "It was rare that Kun took the initiative to explain before Tang Ling even asked.
On the other side, Tang Ling had already put the piece of sugarcane from the old civilization into his mouth.
He wanted to taste it. What would it do if he ate it alone?
As calm as Kun was, a small vein popped up on his forehead. He purposely said slowly, "Oh, I'm not done yet. The good wood core alone won't have any effect. Besides, it tastes like sh * t! "
"Cough … Pui … Urgh …" Tang Ling bit off a small piece of the good wood core and started to chew.
An extremely bitter taste came from his mouth. Of course, it did not taste like sh * t like what Kun said, but the bitterness was very stimulating.
Tang Ling instinctively wanted to spit it out, but he knew that he should not waste it, so he covered his mouth.
He spat out the small piece of good wood core that still had teeth marks on it and put it into his bag.
He did not cook it anyway, so the effect should not be affected, right? He still had some vicious beast meat. Should he cook it when he got back?
What did it mean to increase the absorption rate by 10%? Tang Ling knew it better than anyone else.
The first time he ate Level 3 vicious beast meat, Su Yao told him that he had wasted it and that he could only absorb 1% of it?
After that, Su Yao found a lot of complementary ingredients and fed Tang Ling another Level 3 vicious beast meat. He even taught Tang Ling the eating method. Even though Su Yao did not tell him how much he could absorb, Tang Ling's Precise Instinct knew it would not be more than 20%.
After that, Tang Ling found out about the existence of the seed. Even after all of them combined, the absorption rate did not exceed 50%.
The higher the grade of the meat, the worse the absorption rate.
Tang Ling believed that he could only solve the problem after he started cultivating. However, he did not think that he could absorb all the vicious beast meat with a 100% success rate after he started cultivating.
With that in mind, Tang Ling looked up and pointed at the good wood core. "Then, does it have no limit? Is it effective for any vicious beast meat? "
"It's effective for any vicious beast meat. No matter what grade it is, it can increase the absorption rate by 10% to 15%. "Kun was certain.
Tang Ling hugged the good wood core tightly as if he was hugging the girl he loved. No, he did not have any girl he loved.
Therefore, a girl might not be as good as a good wood core. Tang Ling must have thought so.
The last thing Kun gave Tang Ling was carefully kept away, except for the addendum. Tang Ling simply held it in his hand.
"Keep it or give it back to me." Kun seemed to be a little angry, but he was suppressing his anger for some reason.
"Okay." Tang Ling pretended to keep the good wood core. He did not want to waste it anyway. Since he already got the addendum, he might as well exchange it for the Thousand Satin Skill with Dream Coins in the future.
"Do you know that all these things are useful to you?" Kun squinted his eyes at Tang Ling.
Useful? Of course they were useful! Tang Ling never thought that the things from the Mysterious Store were useless.
But when he thought about it carefully, the items given this time were all a little strange. Apart from the good wood core, which could immediately help him, the other items all had a trace of, well, indescribable feeling. In any case, it was a feeling that he could not see their use for now.
Is Kun guilty of doing business, so he emphasized that all these things are useful to me?
With that in mind, Tang Ling showed a sincere smile and said to Kun, "Don't overthink it. Business happens all the time, so I don't mind."
"Hmph." Kun waved his hand and flung his sleeve. Tang Ling rolled and crawled out of the Mysterious Store, and he heard the other word from Kun, "Scram!"
Did I say something wrong?
**
Under the dreamy candlelight in the Mysterious Store, a figure slowly walked out from the side.
In the darkness behind the candlelight, a figure slowly walked out from the side.
"Kun, you've crossed the line this time."
"So what?"
"So what? Although that kid doesn't know anything, do you think Yana will be unhappy? "
"Hmm? Do you think I care about him?"
"Of course you don't. However, there seems to be an outstanding Dream Seed on Yana's side as well. Very outstanding. "
"Hmph." Kun's disdainful laughter echoed in the Mysterious Store.
