"Can't I take out a loan?"
"Loan? What the hell are you talking about!"
The Spiritual Old Man rolled his eyes and curled his lips, saying, "Fine, in your situation... I can only lend you a maximum of one million. If you want to continue increasing the loan amount, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Hmm, unless you can... kill any World BOSS! And retrieve the world fragment from them!"
The Spiritual Old Man said with a chuckle, "If you succeed, I can lend you ten billion prestige points. Why don't you consider it?"
Lin Bei frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Based on what he knew, people who needed world fragments were generally members of the Major Powers.
Although the Spiritual Old Man in front of him seemed unreliable, he was very likely a hidden member of some faction.
Furthermore, Lin Bei had carefully used his Spirit energy to probe the other party's strength.
However, in his sensory investigation, the other party appeared to be just a common person.
Is it possible for a common person to become the administrator of the Prestige Exchange in a King-Level Dungeon World?
Clearly, the Spiritual Old Man in front of him either possessed Spirit energy far superior to his own, or... he carried a powerful item capable of blocking Spirit detection.
"How about it? This deal... should be very worthwhile, right?"
Seeing Lin Bei silent, the Spiritual Old Man smiled and asked.
"Maybe."
Lin Bei shrugged, but suddenly seemed to recall something. He raised an eyebrow, looked straight at the old man, and asked directly, "Wait, you just said that as long as I kill any World BOSS and obtain a world fragment, you will loan me ten billion prestige points."
"In this condition... it doesn't seem like I need to hand the world fragment over to you, does it?"
"That's right, that's right. I'm just an old man who has been idle for too long and wants to find some fun to watch."
The Spiritual Old Man nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, saying, "Besides, world fragments are useless to me. You can keep them for yourself when the time comes."
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing in their depths.
He glanced around, maximizing his Spirit energy to spread outward. After confirming there was nothing amiss, he leaned forward and asked in a hushed voice, "Are you... one of us?"
"Huh? Young man, what are you talking about? 'One of us'? I'm just a casual old man, and I have no relation to you!"
"Wait! Are you trying to use our supposed relationship to trick me into giving you a loan?"
"Hmph, I've seen through your petty tricks! I absolutely won't fall for it!"
The Spiritual Old Man took half a step back and looked at Lin Bei with vigilance.
Lin Bei curled his lips and said, "Heh, stop pretending. Aside from members of the Major Powers, almost no one needs world fragments."
"And you deliberately brought out those ridiculously priced good items to pique my interest, and then used the form of a loan to make me take action against a World BOSS to obtain their world fragment."
"Furthermore... you are even willing to let me keep the fragment."
"This sort of thing cannot be simply explained away by saying you just want to watch for fun."
"You old fellow... you must also be a member of the Lucky Faction, right?"
"Tell me, did Aleria tell you to do this?"
Lin Bei frowned and looked at the Spiritual Old Man.
The old man heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
However, he still shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I've already told you the conditions. Whether you are willing to do it or what you think in your heart, that's none of my old man business!"
"Alright, alright, I still have business to attend to. If you're not exchanging anything, you should leave as soon as possible!"
After speaking, the Spiritual Old Man waved his hand, and a vast amount of Spirit energy spread out, directly enveloping the surrounding people and helping them lift the Mental Barrier effect on them.
"Such powerful Spirit energy!"
Lin Bei's expression was incredibly solemn.
Facing the vast Spirit power casually released by the old man, he felt like a small, helpless boat adrift in the ocean.
There was no doubt that if the other party wanted to attack him, he would gain absolutely no advantage!
This strength was enough to crush him!
"Heh heh, don't worry about it, just some minor tricks."
"Young man, you are very good. I look forward to meeting you again!"
"Oh right, I just conveniently activated a Prestige Exchange function on your wristband. From now on, you can gain prestige points simply by killing Survivors from hostile factions."
"Remember to exchange for good items with me when the time comes~"
"Oh, and one last thing, I really wasn't sent by that little girl Aleria."
In the depths of Lin Bei's mind, the Spiritual Old Man's cheerful voice rang out.
However, when he looked back towards the Prestige Exchange, the old man's figure was already gone.
In his place stood a glamorous woman with exquisite makeup, wearing a black uniform.
"Hey, are you going to exchange anything or not? If not, move aside for the others behind you."
The woman's gaze fell upon Lin Bei. Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she spoke in a deep voice.
Lin Bei glanced at the list and found that it was no different from the list the old man had initially shown him.
There was nothing on it that he needed.
Therefore, he did not linger and turned around and left immediately.
As for the people from the Three Major Forces standing behind him, they all proactively cleared a path for him, watching him leave.
Only when Lin Bei's figure had completely disappeared did the crowd finally let out a long breath.
"Holy cow, was that person who took first place on the honor ranking, Bei Ming? What terrifying strength!"
"Yeah, his Spirit power is so strong! I just got a casual glance from him, and my mind went blank!"
"Truly terrifying, we can't afford to provoke him!"
"No, we must quickly report this to the leader. The plan has changed. This kid named Bei Ming... he's quite tough."
Everyone was discussing animatedly, but every face showed an expression of lingering fear.
Although killing each other is not allowed inside the main city, if the opponent directly used Spirit to control them and make them kill each other... when the time came, the world will would impose punishment, and they would be the ones who suffered in the end!
Therefore, a saying secretly circulated among the forces of the various main cities: "Never provoke someone with powerful Spirit energy, or else... you will die miserably!"
Clearly, the name Bei Ming had already been placed on their "Danger List"!
...In the Survival World, an Shadow Tank was speeding across the boundless sea.
Inside the cockpit, Bei Bei Nan Gua looked at her shoulder-length hair and murmured, "This world is really strange. Why does hair grow so fast? Is it because time has been accelerated?"
"Does he prefer long hair or short hair?"
She fell into contemplation.
Behind her were hundreds of Survivor Bracelets piled together.
According to the distance displayed on the sea map, she could reach the island where the other party was located in a maximum of three days.
Thinking of this, Bei Bei Nan Gua felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
