Chapter 248 - 248: 248: Pay Extra for Exchange

The villa door opened, and Lin Liye and Li Qin rushed out.

“Son, you’re finally back.”

Seeing his worried parents, Lin Zhen felt a little emotional.

His parents were now part of the Martial Artists and could log into the Martial Artists’ forum to check news, so they naturally knew that Lin Zhen was in danger.

“Dad, mom, there will be many situations like this in the future. You don’t need to worry too much about me. I have good luck, and these things are nothing to me.”

Lin Zhen gave his parents two gifts – two space rings.

These two rings were from Yue Zhenhua and He Liu. Lin Zhen took off Yue Zhenhua’s ring, and Xiao Nuan, under Lin Zhen’s warning, didn’t eat people but killed He Liu and took off his ring to give to Lin Zhen.

There were quite a few equipment inside the rings, even two lower-grade Star Artifacts, attack weapons, and complete sets for physical and mental defense.

Lin Zhen went inside the house with his parents and told them what to use at what stage, and also gave them a billion in pocket money each.

Seeing their son safe and bringing back so many good things, they were very happy. Li Qin said to Lin Zhen, “You don’t know, that Li Mengxi came again yesterday. ”

“She came again?” Lin Zhen frowned.

“Yes, she came over to persuade us, saying that you would definitely be fine, and we shouldn’t worry about anything. She also brought us a lot of good food.” Lin Liye added.

“Didn’t you tell her that I have a girlfriend?”

Li Qin hesitated, and in the end, it was Lin Liye who said, “I wanted to say it, but your mother disagreed. She thinks your girlfriend is unreliable. We checked a lot of information about the Saintess of Gods Clan these days, and Saintesses cannot get married. If they do, they can’t continue being Saintesses. So, can things between you two work out?”

Lin Zhen helplessly said, “Mom, dad, don’t worry about this. I will definitely bring Yue’er back, and even if Yue’er can’t come, my daughter-in-law won’t be Li Mengxi.”

Lin Zhen didn’t have any good feelings towards Li Mengxi, but she never said anything to him, just came to see his parents time and time again. Lin Zhen didn’t take this matter seriously at the beginning, but now it seems that he has to deal with it.

In the end, he still needed to bring his girlfriend back to reassure his parents, but unfortunately, Su Mingyue couldn’t come with him for now.

At this moment, Lin Zhen suddenly thought of An Ning.

Where had An Ning gone? He hadn’t heard from her for a long time. Duo Long said she had returned to Ice City and might even participate in the War God’s Knockout, but why hadn’t he seen her?

Seeing that there was still a day before the War God’s Knockout started, Lin Zhen tidied up at home, took a refreshing bath, changed into a clean white casual outfit, and called Yang Jianying to tell him that he had adopted a pet, a Lion Dog, and asked the martial arts hall to help handle a certificate.

Yang Jianying was surprised by Lin Zhen’s call and didn’t expect that Lin Zhen, who was rumored to have possibly died in the Five Connected Pools, was actually out. This was great news.

He immediately agreed to help. Nowadays, the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall was gradually stabilizing, and handling a pet certificate was just a matter of a few words for him.

In just a short amount of time, Xiao Nuan had become familiar with Lin Zhen’s parents. Under Lin Zhen’s guidance, it knew who were his family members. The intelligence of Galaxy Beasts was not inferior to that of children, so it quickly became familiar with the yard and treated it as its home.

With Xiao Nuan at home, Lin Zhen didn’t need to worry about the safety of the house. Although this little thing was only recently born, its Innate Devouring skill was enough to deal with anyone below the Star Realm.

Lin Zhen checked the internet for news about the War God’s Knockout. The competition would start tomorrow morning. There were even underground gambling activities, with odds for various Martial Artists to win the championship.

Looking at his own odds, they had already reached one to twenty!

He had just killed Yue Zhenhua and He Liu and immediately returned on the black specter. It had been less than an hour, and the news had not yet spread.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen curled his lips, thought for a moment, transferred 50 billion from his card, and placed all of it on his championship win.

This time, the gambling stakes on the War God’s Knockout were several trillion. Losing one trillion to himself was nothing, right?

Anyway, the 50 billion had no use in Lin Zhen’s hands. If he lost, he wouldn’t feel sorry, but if he won, it would be very useful.

After placing the 50 billion bet, Lin Zhen received a message.

“Respected Mr. Lin Zhen, your First Blood reward in the virtual world has been released. Please claim it online.”

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t used the draw prize opportunity for his First Blood yet.

When Lin Zhen exchanged gemstone fragments before, the reward for First Blood hadn’t been released yet. He didn’t expect it to come out now. The timing seemed a bit coincidental.

Once he logged in, Lin Zhen was stunned.

It wasn’t a roulette-style draw but a “pay and choose” one.

There were ten high-grade Star Artifacts in total. Among them were four weapons, of which Lin Zhen could choose any one he liked.

Four armors were also included. If Lin Zhen wanted them, he could choose any of them for an additional 30 billion each.

One is a mental defense necklace, which is worth the value of a general top-quality Star Artifact. It can block all mental attacks below the Diamond Level. To claim it, you need to pay an extra 300 billion.

The other one is a set of flying knives, Seven Stars Knife, with seven knives in total. Each knife alone is a small-sized high-grade Star Artifact. To claim it, you need to pay an extra 500 billion.

This time Lin Zhen didn’t even pay attention to the mental defense necklace.

The seven flying knives, each just more than a foot long, caught Lin Zhen’s eye.

“Attribute-less flying knives! They are actually attribute-less flying knives! This is not just a high-grade Star Artifact at all; it’s a top-quality Star Artifact set! Although each of them alone is a high-grade one, they are attribute-less and made of pure white meteorite iron. After infusing energy, each one becomes a top-quality Star Artifact flying knife!”

Lin Zhen knew that there was a material in the starry sky called White Meteorite Iron, which was a type of meteorite and very rare. The weapons made of this material weren’t particularly good, reaching at most the level of high-grade Star Artifacts, but it had a unique feature: energy infusion.

It was like a piece of white paper; whatever color you applied to it, it would become that color.

Once energy was infused, the quality would improve, and a high-grade Star Artifact would become a top-quality one.

Moreover, these seven flying knives all came from the same piece of white meteorite iron, which made them even more valuable.

“I understand. The one who created these Seven Stars knives wanted all seven to be infused with energy by the same person, so the knives would have no rejection issues. If they were made from the same piece of meteorite iron and the same person infused them, the quality of this set of knives would surpass the category of Star Artifacts.”

“That person just couldn’t find someone who could have seven energy elements at the same time.”

Lin Zhen secretly calculated his own situation. At present, he had three types of elemental energy he could freely control: lightning, light, and golden energy.

Moreover, there were ice and flame elements within the Dark Star. If he could master them too, he would have five kinds of elements.

If he could master two more elements, this set of Seven Stars knives would undoubtedly be a supreme treasure.

Lin Zhen silently made up his mind. He had to get this set of knives.

As for why the War God Alliance provided such a choice, Lin Zhen had a guess: they probably wanted to swindle some money from him. After all, who wouldn’t want to choose some good Star Artifacts compared to the bad ones?

The War God Alliance was currently controlled by the European Union, the United States, and Sand Russia; maybe this was someone’s wicked idea.

But these people didn’t know the true value of the Seven Stars knives and thought they were just slightly worse high-grade Star Artifacts. They wanted to use them to swindle Lin Zhen out of 500 billion.

Lin Zhen hadn’t used flying knives for a long time, not because he didn’t want to, but because he had lost them near the Star Fruit Tree and hadn’t found suitable replacements since. This set of Seven Stars knives filled that void nicely.

However, their 500 billion value made Lin Zhen feel a bit of pain. He had just spent 500 billion on a bet, and now he only had 120 billion left.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but regret not betting later.

Then he realized some things: after paying online, someone must have been monitoring his account, knowing that he was out of money, and deliberately arranged this situation to make him uncomfortable. Otherwise, these seven Star Artifact flying knives wouldn’t appear in the rewards.

“To deal with me, they are really using every trick in the book. If I can’t get the flying knives or mental defense Star Artifacts, I will definitely feel frustrated; they really want to set me up.” extra 300 billion.

Moreover, there is a time limit for this money exchange, requiring Lin Zhen to complete within an hour, and there are only 55 minutes left now.

“But they still don’t know the potential of this set of knives. The 500 billion price is too little; this is not something that can be measured by money on Earth. I must get this set of Seven Stars knives, but where will the money come from?”

Lin Zhen searched his contact list. This wasn’t a small amount of money; there was a gap of nearly 400 billion, and ordinary people couldn’t afford it.

People like Zhao Liang might have a few billion at most, and probably no one had a fortune of more than 10 billion.

Yang Jianying wasn’t capable either. Although he was the hall master, 400 billion was astronomical to him as well.

Su Mingyue couldn’t help either. While Yue’er was willing to provide for him, she didn’t have money, and as far as Lin Zhen knew, she barely needed to spend any money.

An Ning might have money, but Lin Zhen hadn’t been able to find her for a long time. Moreover, he wasn’t thick-skinned enough to directly ask her for money.

Finally, Lin Zhen found Hansen. Hansen was Soul Locked by him, and if he had money, he would never hesitate.

With a desperate mindset, Lin Zhen called Hansen.

The call was quickly connected, and Lin Zhen explained the situation. Hansen said, “Lin, I don’t have 400 billion. Even if I sold all of my assets, they wouldn’t exceed 50 billion. But I can ask Alice for help, so wait a moment.”

Lin Zhen waited for about ten minutes, and Hansen called back, excitedly saying, “Lin, we have the 400 billion! Give me your account number!”

Lin Zhen was overjoyed, gave Hansen his account number, and in less than a minute, the 400 billion was transferred.

After receiving the money, Lin Zhen asked, “Does Alice have so much money

“Alice doesn’t. Her wealth isn’t much higher than mine.”

“Then who is it?” Lin Zhen asked curiously.

“This… the young lady told me to keep it a secret, and I can’t tell you.” Hansen said seriously.

“Ouch!” As soon as Hansen finished speaking, it seemed as if he was heavily hit, and then the phone hung up.

Lin Zhen was dumbfounded. The young lady…. Why was it her?
