79: Thousand-year-old pearl

The continuous rise in experience, along with countless pieces of equipment and treasures, kept them so excited that they couldn't sleep at night for several days.

Since Three-Year-Old Cute had to go to school during the day and could only log in at night, You Lan took over her position during the daytime.

This drove her crazy because she was only Rank 23, and it would still be a long time before she could obtain an Epic Weapon.

During these past few days, Xiao Xing had already helped Yuantai Ling acquire a Divine-Grade mount.

Because the mount she provided was of good quality, after enhancement, this Divine-Grade mount became exceptionally powerful, ranking among the top tier of Divine-Grade mounts.

Seeing Xiao Xing give her such an excellent mount, Yuantai Ling was so excited that she couldn't help but hug him tightly and give him a fierce kiss, while her favorability also increased by 50 points.

Being taken advantage of like this, Xiao Xing couldn't throw a fit like she had before, so he could only leave feeling wronged for the time being.

But how could Xiao Xing just let it go?

The next day, he tricked Yuantai Ling out of 10 drops of immortal spirit jade nectar and, with one enhancement, instantly produced ten million drops.

But that wasn't the end.

This morning, he went to trick her for more immortal spirit jade nectar again, but Yuantai Ling ignored him completely. No matter how Xiao Xing tried to sweet-talk her, she wouldn't bring it out because she didn't have any left.

That bottle of immortal spirit jade nectar was something she had stolen. With no other choice, Xiao Xing asked her where she stole it from, so he could go steal some himself when he had time.

However, after Yuantai Ling told him the location, Xiao Xing could only give up for now. That place was still far beyond his ability to reach.

Xiao Xing then had to ask her what other treasures she had. Under his relentless pestering, Yuantai Ling took out a few items, hoping to casually brush him off.

But when Xiao Xing saw the items, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Although the items weren't particularly impressive, one of them was exactly the type he needed.

Thousand-Year Clam Pearl

Note: This item is a pearl born within a Thousand-Year Clam Demon, containing pure energy.

Effect: Consuming it increases all attributes by 10 points.

Usage Restriction: Limited to 10 pearls per person.

After enhancing this clam pearl, its quality didn't improve as imagined; instead, one million pearls appeared.

Xiao Xing could only helplessly consume 10 pearls. Combined with 90 drops of immortal spirit jade nectar, his all attributes skyrocketed by several hundred points, which was simply terrifying.

This was mainly due to the bonuses from various pieces of equipment. In terms of base attributes alone, only agility exceeded 300, while the other four attributes were around 270.

With such attributes, every aspect of his real-world body was dozens of times stronger than an ordinary person's, making him practically impervious to blades and spears.

Unless attacked by nuclear weapons, getting injured would be difficult, especially since he also had spiritual power enhancement and the terrifying power of his Divine Soul.

After returning from Yuantai Ling's place, Xiao Xing continued to take the girls farming for equipment until the afternoon when he finally stopped.

Tonight, after eating, he planned to have the Lucky Chamber of Commerce open for business.

Over the past few days, they had farmed around three million pieces of various Rank 20 equipment.

In addition to tens of thousands of pieces from the Saber-toothed Tiger Territory (Rank 15) and tens of thousands from the Thunder Ruins, the equipment in the Divine Deer Space had piled up into a mountain.

With such a massive amount of equipment, plus the two types of Attribute Potions and a large number of property deedss, the Lucky Chamber of Commerce's opening would have some prestige.

Xiao Xing threw ten thousand pieces of various equipment into the Guild Warehouse and put all the rest up for sale in the Chamber of Commerce.

Considering the potentially large number of people, he had hired two hundred more Female Salesclerks and four Super Soldiers yesterday.

Although they were NPCs, they only worked eight hours a day before returning to the Estate to rest.

They couldn't stay there indefinitely without eating or drinking, so Xiao Xing had to hire more people and have them work in three shifts.

After making these arrangements, Xiao Xing logged off to eat, replenishing his energy for tonight's opening... "Xiao Xing, come eat quickly. I cooked lots of delicious food tonight."

Mu Yaner came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of soup. Seeing that Xiao Xing had logged off, she quickly called him over to eat.

Regarding this, Xiao Xing was already somewhat accustomed to it. Mu Yaner was probably going to ask him to check her body again.

Ever since the first time he helped treat her, Mu Yaner had complained of feeling unwell every day, asking Xiao Xing to give her treatment.

At first, after checking, Xiao Xing didn't find anything wrong with her body and told her to get more rest.

But how could Mu Yaner be willing to accept that?

Having tasted the sweetness, she began to pester Xiao Xing relentlessly. If he didn't help treat her, Xiao Xing couldn't play games or sleep in peace.

Left with no choice, Xiao Xing had to use his spiritual power to treat her, which finally satisfied her and sent her running to the bathroom.

These past few days, Mu Yaner felt unwell every day, making him miserable.

Consuming some spiritual power wasn't a big deal.

But every time he saw her revel (tao zui: enraptured, intoxicated) expression and heard her Ecstasy (xiao hun: soul-stirring, ecstatic) moans, Xiao Xing felt as if he were in a furnace, enduring extreme torment.

During the treatment, Mu Yaner felt comfortable, but it made Xiao Xing extremely uncomfortable.

He knew why Mu Yaner was like this. After all, at her age, it was the prime of her vitality.

If she hadn't tasted the sweetness, she might not have thought much about it. But once she had, it became uncontrollable—a basic human instinct.

After the two finished dinner, Mu Yaner quickly washed the dishes, then, with a blush on her face, pulled Xiao Xing into her boudoir. This seemed to have become a habit.

"Xiao Xing, I'm feeling a bit unwell today. Please check on me quickly."

Once in the room, Mu Yaner pretended to hold her forehead, putting on an expression of great discomfort, then looked at Xiao Xing with a pitiful gaze.

This wasn't the first or second time she had acted this way. The extreme shyness she showed at the beginning was no longer present on her face.

"Sister Yaner, with your excellent qualities, surely many men would be willing to come courting. Why don't you find a boyfriend?"

Seeing Mu Yaner's act, Xiao Xing didn't immediately agree to treat her this time.

Continuing like this wasn't a solution. The spiritual power didn't matter, but it was just too agonizing for him.

Xiao Xing was also a normal man. If not for his relatively strong willpower, he would have already done something to hurt Mu Yaner.

He was worried that one day he might not be able to hold back, which would hurt Mu Yaner. So, it was better to resolve this treatment issue as soon as possible.

Hearing Xiao Xing's words, Mu Yaner bit her jade-like lips and returned to a normal expression.

Being an adult, she naturally understood what Xiao Xing meant. But she just didn't want to look for anyone, which was why she had remained alone in this neighborhood until now.

She had never planned to marry or have children in this lifetime; otherwise, she wouldn't have remained single at this age. If not for the previous incident, she wouldn't have sought Xiao Xing's help.

After that incident, she no longer had any defenses against Xiao Xing; otherwise, she wouldn't have let him live with her.

Mu Yaner had considered that Xiao Xing might try something with her, but she didn't really mind anymore.

Even if he did that kind of thing to her, she felt it didn't matter, since she had no plans to marry anyway.

So, every time she pulled Xiao Xing into her boudoir for treatment, it was precisely because she wanted him to do something to her.

But this damn guy didn't understand romance at all. Every time, he honestly finished the treatment and then left.
