I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats

"Yes, City Lord." Tang Feng responded with a single word and then quickly left the office.

"Contractor, talents I've never seen before, Gluttonous Cruise... the real world, haha, truly fascinating." Zhao Chen flicked his cigar, a smile appearing on his face.

He felt not a twinge of sorrow for the many items Mu Rufeng had won because to him, they meant nothing.

And he was determined to possess the talents of Mu Rufeng. He just had to wait—after all, he had plenty of time.

...

"Congratulations, Mr. Mu, for betting ten million Soul Power and successfully winning twenty million Soul Power."

"Congratulations, Mr. Mu, for betting fifty years of life and successfully winning one hundred years."

"Congratulations, Mr. Mu, for betting a Special Item, refund of original bet, and successfully winning a Special Item."

Mu Rufeng glanced at his lifespan, a total of one hundred and seventy-one years.

This meant that even if Mu Rufeng's strength no longer increased, he would naturally die of old age at one hundred and ninety-five.

Mu Rufeng felt an urge. Should he bet his life again? If it doubled, he could directly reach over three hundred years.

Over three hundred years, what a concept that was—even from the end of the Ming dynasty to 2023, it was just over three hundred years.

However, Mu Rufeng quickly dismissed the thought.

Greed does not pay; his gains from this instance were already sufficient.

And so, Mu Rufeng stepped out.

He planned to exchange some Soul Power for soul banknotes. Even though he had plenty of soul banknotes, he felt it still wasn't enough.

After all, once he left Golden City, he didn't know when he would return.

Mu Rufeng turned to look at the now-closed door, puzzled as to why there were no other guests inside.

"Mr. Mu, congratulations again, you've won another time." Tang Feng approached from a distance.

"Manager Tang, your information is quite up-to-date; I haven't even left, and you already know." Mu Rufeng said slowly.

Sure enough, the higher-ups of Golden City were indeed closely monitoring him.

"I had to, Mr. Mu, your bets were too large. Whenever you win, we all receive a notification."

"As soon as I got the notification, I immediately came over here," Manager Tang said with a smile.

"May I ask what brings Manager Tang here? I remember you mentioning that you can't stay on the third floor, right?" Mu Rufeng spoke up.

"That's correct, Mr. Mu, I cannot stay on the third floor for more than three minutes, or I will be forcibly expelled from this level."

"Only Level 9 Ghost Emperors or those with sufficient assets can linger here," Manager Tang explained.

"By the way, why are there no other guests on the third floor other than myself?" Mu Rufeng asked again.

"Normally, not many Ghost Emperors come here. Even if they do visit Golden City, they go to the dining area or the accommodation and leisure areas upstairs."

"It's only during the once-a-decade Golden City gala that these Ghost Emperors flock here," Manager Tang revealed.

"Golden City gala?" What's that?

Mu Rufeng immediately became interested.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss that with you, but we do sincerely invite you to participate in the next Golden City gala."

Manager Tang, while speaking, took out a golden invitation and handed it to Mu Rufeng.

Seeing this, Mu Rufeng, though somewhat puzzled, nonetheless accepted it directly.

[Golden City Gala Invitation]: An invitation to Golden City's once-a-decade gala.

Special Items: Possessing this invitation, one can attend Golden City's gala at a specific time.

Gala time: January 1, 2024, at 00:00.

Holder: Mu Rufeng

Note: The Contractor holding this invitation can, at a specific time, use it to summon the holder from the real world to attend the Golden City gala in the form of an instance.

"An invitation? A once-a-decade gala?" After reading the attributes of the invitation, Mu Rufeng pondered.

It was clear that Golden City knew he wanted to return, yet they didn't want to give up on the talents he possessed, so they sent this invitation?

Was it to win his powerful talents during the next gala?

"Manager Tang, what is the meaning of this gala invitation?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"Mr. Mu, your assets have reached the threshold, so naturally, you can participate in Golden City's gala. There will be many Ghost Emperors attending."

"Our Golden City gala is held once every ten years, and there hasn't been a single one with less than a hundred Ghost Emperors participating," Manager Tang spoke with pride.

"A hundred Ghost Emperors? Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's quite the grand affair." Mu Rufeng marveled and then promptly tucked the invitation away.

No matter what, this was still an instance, and Mu Rufeng was now at LV3 (2/4).

After completing this instance, it would be 3/4, getting close to advancing to Level 4.

"I'll accept the invitation, and I'll definitely come when the time comes," Mu Rufeng said.

"Then, we await Mr. Mu's esteemed arrival," Tang Feng said cheerfully.

"You go on with your work, I'm going to head downstairs to exchange some soul banknotes," Mu Rufeng said, and began walking downstairs.

"Take care, Mr. Mu!" Tang Feng complimented, then took another elevator to the top floor.

...

Mu Rufeng followed the staircase to the first floor, and then went straight to the exchange area.

"Mr. Mu, what can I assist you with today?" asked a staff member.

"Help me exchange ten million Soul Power into soul banknotes," Mu Rufeng requested.

"Ten million? Alright, Mr. Mu, please input your Soul Power here," the staff member said, a bit surprised, and then immediately pointed towards a card slot.

Mu Rufeng didn't dawdle and directly transferred the ten million Soul Power.

"Mr. Mu, please take out your bank card so we can transfer the soul banknotes to it," the staff member instructed.

Mu Rufeng promptly fetched his Black Gold Card.

Soon after, Mu Rufeng received the transfer, a whole ten billion in funds had been deposited.

[Your account ending in 3318 has received a transfer of 10,000,000,000.00 yuan on October 27 at 9:01 AM. The balance is 139.27 billion.]

Over a hundred billion in soul banknotes should suffice for now.

As for the remaining Soul Power, Mu Rufeng naturally wouldn't continue the exchange.

This thing had a lot of uses.

Afterward, Mu Rufeng took the elevator to the tenth floor and returned to his room.

Mu Rufeng was in no hurry to go back; there were still a ton of matters to handle.

He took out his phone and dialed Lilith.

Mu Rufeng was somewhat worried he wouldn't get through, but, clearly, he was overthinking it as the call connected smoothly.

Mu Rufeng inquired about recent events and chatted for a while before transferring ten billion in soul banknotes to Lilith.

One was to let Lilith expand his businesses, and the other was to continue heading to Treasure Tower to make purchases.

The purchases were mostly Life Ore, which was the material used to make Login Bracelets.

Apart from Life Ore, he also bought other types of ores and even some special items.

Mu Rufeng specifically arranged for Lilith to rent a storage space inside Crimson Preferred to store these materials.

When Mu Rufeng had the chance to visit Crimson Preferred, he could bring back some of the items.

After hanging up with Lilith, Mu Rufeng called Deputy Zhao.

He inquired about the Gluttonous Cruise, and then was about to ask about Golden City.

However, as the words came to his lips, Mu Rufeng suddenly found himself unable to speak.

Mu Rufeng could clearly sense a rule's power sealing his mouth.

Immediately, Mu Rufeng realized that anything related to Golden City was not to be shared with outsiders.

Even if that person knew about Golden City, even if Mu Rufeng was inside Golden City, he still couldn't speak of it.

Thus, Mu Rufeng simply closed his mouth and hung up the call abruptly.

After dealing with all his matters, Mu Rufeng started to examine the special item he had acquired earlier.

[Mysterious Invitation]: This is an extremely mysterious invitation.

Special Item: The holder can tear the invitation to be invited to a secretive activity.

Holder: Pending

Note: The Contractor holding this invitation can, at a specific time, use it in the form of an instance to summon the holder from the real world to attend the mysterious activity.

"A mysterious event's invitation?"

"Though I don't know what it is, it can still count towards one more instance," Mu Rufeng found this quite satisfactory.

He then chose to bind.

[Binding successful]
