Chapter 233 Return, Settlement of Rewards [10,000 Words]
"Eh?" Mu Rufeng suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
When the mysterious invitation had bound successfully, there was a slight change in his attributes.
Of course, he still couldn't see which event the invitation was for.
But a new description had appeared.
[Mysterious Invitation]: This is an extremely mysterious invitation.
Special Item:...
Owner: Mu Rufeng
Note 1:...
Note 2: After successfully binding to the owner, the activity must be attended within a maximum of one year and a minimum of one month.
A maximum of one year and a minimum of one month meant that the invitation had to be torn up within a year, and a minimum of one month meant that Mu Rufeng could only…
"Just one month, that's about right; I can take some more time to rest." Mu Rufeng immediately stored this special item in his item slot.
Then, he continued to refine his Soul Power.
However, considering that the stronger his power, the faster the refining process, Mu Rufeng would go out every hour to unleash a wave of [You Die, I Live].
This kept him continuously in a Peak State.
Originally, he could only refine ten thousand Soul Power per hour, but when he was in Peak State, he could achieve one hundred thousand per hour.
Mu Rufeng could feel his soul power getting extraordinarily strong, and, at the same time, his understanding of certain things grew more profound.
He could even perceive others' hostility towards him with greater accuracy.
Even when engaging in battle with enemies, his brain's processing speed and battle skills improved.
Most importantly, due to the enhancement of soul power, he could cast powerful skills and spells with less consumption.
...
In a blink of an eye, nine days had passed.
Mu Rufeng sat cross-legged on the sofa, eyes tightly closed, motionless.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Ding! Esteemed Mr. Mu, your room rental will expire in one hour. If you wish to renew, please proceed to the front desk."
...
After being prompted three times, Mu Rufeng was awoken from his deep refinement state.
"Nine days have passed just like that? Time really flies," Mu Rufeng murmured to himself.
He then stood up, stretching his limbs.
"Gurgle gurgle~~~!"
"I'm so hungry..." Mu Rufeng's face suddenly turned slightly uncomfortable.
He hadn't eaten anything for a full nine days.
Maybe it was because he couldn't feel hunger while refining Soul Power, but now that he'd stopped, the sensation of hunger surged.
"You all may leave," Mu Rufeng said to the ten Abnormalities sitting quietly in front of him.
"Yes, Mr. Mu!" The ten Abnormalities quickly nodded and then left the suite.
Mu Rufeng found it too bothersome to go out every hour to find Abnormalities to use [You Die, I Live].
So he simply asked Zhao Tian to summon ten weak Abnormalities of only Level 7.
Their pay was a thousand Soul Power a day; Mu Rufeng rounded it up, giving them ten thousand Soul Power outright.
Of course, because it was in this place, private transactions could only involve up to ten points of Soul Power or items of equivalent value.
There was also a limit of one hundred transactions per day, so Mu Rufeng found a gambling event specifically for extra opportunities to complete the transaction with them.
The ten Abnormalities heard about this good deal and ran over excitedly.
Firstly, staying in a luxury suite was a big win, and on top of that, they could earn a thousand Soul Power a day; it was as though they had struck it rich.
As for worrying about them harming Mu Rufeng, that was completely unnecessary.
Mu Rufeng could crush them with a single finger, and besides, it was impossible to fight in this suite.
Just as he was about to leave, Mu Rufeng suddenly remembered something and gave Deputy Zhao a call.
"Captain Zhao, has the cruise itinerary been refreshed yet?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
"Mr. Mu, the itinerary hasn't been refreshed yet," Deputy Zhao replied.
"That's a pity, remember to keep that Gold Coin for me next year."
"Yes, Mr. Mu, rest assured."
According to Deputy Zhao, although the Gluttonous Cruise sailed in the Dead Sea, their routes were not fixed.
Only after passing through all the itinerary's stopover points would a new route be refreshed.
If luck was on their side, the itinerary could be refreshed in a month at the earliest, but he remembered one time it took half a year to complete all the stopover points before a new itinerary was established.
With each new route, they could bring guests to Golden City.
Of course, to go to Golden City, one needed a Black Gold Card from the Gluttonous Cruise and to be at least Level 7 in strength or above.
As for the Gold Coin from Golden City, it was given to the Gluttonous Cruise by Golden City, and each year only one was granted.
...
"First, let's eat something; it's time to return," Mu Rufeng thought, as his stomach was really starting to bother him.
He took out some food to nibble on, then went straight to the front desk to check out of the room.
After that, Mu Rufeng directly headed to the eleventh floor.
Right away, he began to eat and drink with Little Ying and the others.
He also stored a large amount of food again.
Mu Rufeng even found some special foods that could enhance his own attributes.
Although they were only effective the first time he ate them and didn't increase much, the variety was extensive.
All in all, his All Attributes increased by 30.
Unfortunately, after scouring the entire gourmet area, he could only achieve a 30-point increase.
Most of them were for enhancing his own soul power and Ghost Power.
