"Erm …"
Beautiful women had the right to do whatever they wanted. There was nothing Chen Xiaobei could do if she did not want to take off her veil.
Liu Xuanxin did not give Chen Xiaobei a chance to pester her.
Chen Xiaobei did not hesitate. What would come would come eventually. There was no need to force it. Besides, he had an appointment with Gu Congwen today. He had to go back to Northern Wilderness Starfield.
After Liu Xuanxin left, Chen Xiaobei was ready to leave.
He took out the second Returning Bracelet that Wangcai gave him and set the starting point at Bei Xuan Faction.
This way, no matter where he was, he could always return to Bei Xuan Faction or the secret space. It would be much more convenient for him to move around.
After that, Chen Xiaobei used the first Returning Bracelet to return to Northern Wilderness Starfield.
…
Silver Plume Planet.
Chen Xiaobei returned to the capital city and went to the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce.
His plan to buy the Beast Cores went very smoothly. Chen Xiaobei bought 1,500 medium-grade Spiritual Stones worth of Beast Cores from Gu Congwen!
These Beast Cores could increase Chen Xiaobei's health and combat power by 150,000!
That's right! You're right!
As long as Chen Xiaobei digested all these Beast Cores, he could increase his combat power and health by 150,000! That was a terrifying increase!
However, he had to take note that he could only increase his strength after he digested all the Beast Cores!
In other words, it was not enough to absorb the essence of the Beast Cores into his body. He would need a long time to digest them.
Chen Xiaobei had tested it before. An hour of digesting could increase his combat power and health by 100.
To reach 150,000 combat power and health, he would need 1,500 hours, or 62 and a half days.
Including the Beast Cores that Chen Xiaobei already had, he would need close to 70 days to fully digest them.
To Chen Xiaobei, this would be a long time. After all, the trip to Black Desert was imminent but he could not reach his goal in one go. That was quite frustrating.
If he had enough lifespan to use the Sunlight Cache, Chen Xiaobei would only need 70 minutes to complete all of this.
One could imagine how short Chen Xiaobei's lifespan was.
Of course, even though it was lacking, there weren't so many coincidences in the world. As for his lifespan, all Chen could do was to wait.
Once the Old Leader had written three million words, he would get another Ginseng Fruit from the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan.
While he was waiting, Chen Xiaobei had to squeeze out all the time he could to train!
"Mr. Chen, as a friend, before you confirm the deal, I want to remind you."
Gu Congwen said, "Actually, you didn't have to buy so many at once! You won't be able to use them all up in a short period of time, so you can buy less and keep some spirit stones in hand so that your daily life won't be affected. "
Clearly, Gu Congwen's reminder was spot on. Northern Wilderness Starfield was very expensive. If Chen Xiaobei did not keep any Spiritual Stones for himself, he would not even be able to eat. His life would be affected.
"I have my reasons. I need to buy everything in one go. Don't worry. I still have Spiritual Stones with me. It won't affect my daily life!"
To put it bluntly, the reason why he had to buy it all at once was because he was limited by his lifespan.
With Chen Xiaobei's lifespan, he could only use the Dark Power once. Naturally, he would absorb as many Beast Cores as he could!
He would just treat it as energy stored in his body and slowly digest it.
He had no idea when he would be able to use the Power of Darkness again.
As for his daily life, Chen Xiaobei was not worried. After all, he had just obtained 50,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones from Penglai Faction. It was enough for him to eat and drink every day.
"Alright! Since Mr. Chen still has Spiritual Stones, then I'm not worried anymore! "Gu Congwen nodded and recorded the transaction in the ledger.
"Elder Gu, I want to ask you something!" Chen Xiaobei stood by the window and pointed at the street below. "Why are there so many soldiers here?"
"Don't you know?"
Gu Congwen said. "Some time ago, a man named Lu Yiju died on the first street. I heard that he was an illegitimate child of the Lu Family! The Silver Plume Commandery was shocked and sent out a large number of Silver Scaled Guards to investigate. The Lu Family even said that they will not let the matter rest until they find the murderer! "
"Lu Yiju …" Chen Xiaobei frowned. "Is there any progress in the investigation? Are they really going to keep investigating? "
"There's no progress …" Gu Congwen shook his head. "The murderer did not leave any traces behind. There's no way to find him. I think the case will be closed after a while."
"Mm. If there's nothing else, I'll make a move first …" Chen Xiaobei said goodbye and left the Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Yiju's case was a reminder to Chen Xiaobei.
There were still a lot of things that he had to do in Northern Wilderness Starfield!
First of all! He had offended the young master of the Lu Family, Lu Changwei, during the auction. Now that he had returned to earth, Lu Changwei would not be able to seek revenge.
Second of all! Chen Xiaobei had helped Ju Niao get rid of the Black Dragon Faction's leader but Ju Niao had not called him. This meant that the Lu Family did not have the time to ask about it. But conflict was inevitable. It would come sooner or later!
Third! The investigation into the destruction of Atlantis was still ongoing. Chen Xiaobei had no idea how far it had progressed.
In comparison, the third matter was the most important one!
After all, Atlantis had left some traces behind. If they were to investigate further, they might be able to trace it back to Japan. The consequences would be unimaginable!
"I can put the first two matters aside. I won't make a move if the enemy doesn't make a move!"
Chen Xiaobei thought. "But I have to figure out a way to understand the third matter. If not, I won't even know what's going to happen to me."
Immediately, Chen walked towards the gate of the inner city.
In Silver Plume City, there was a huge wall that separated the city into the inner city and the outer city in order to separate the nobles from the commoners.
Non-nobles were not allowed to step foot into the inner city!
Just as expected, Chen Xiaobei was stopped by two guards when he reached the gate.
These two guards were Silver Plume nobles. They looked at Chen Xiaobei with their heads held high.
One of the guards shouted in disdain, "Kid! Stop right there! If you take another step forward, you will be violating Silver Plume's laws! "
The other guard added, "Of course! If you're tired of living, you can come over too. According to Silver Plume's laws, I have the right to kill you! "
Chen put on a nonchalant face and walked towards them.
"Motherf * cker! Kid, you're really tired of living! Do you think Silver Plume's laws are a joke? "
The two guards raised their spears and charged at Chen Xiaobei. They were really going to arrest him!
"Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look. Who's tired of living?"
