Chapter 426: Chapter 229: Ten Thousandfold Attack, Instant Kill of a Level Eight Ghost King_5

He entered the room and immediately felt as though his entire being was soaked in a warm hot spring, his body filled with an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Have a seat," Mu Rufeng directed as he moved to the sofa, gesturing for the two to sit down.

The pair obediently walked over and took seats on the sofa facing Mu Rufeng.

"Now, tell me about the second floor, how is the gambling different from the first floor?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"Mr. Mu, to tell you the truth, I don’t know much about the second floor either. I’m not sure what the specific games are, because I have never been to the second floor," Zhao Tian admitted somewhat embarrassingly.

"Hmm? Never been to the second floor?" Mu Rufeng frowned slightly.

"Because going to the second floor requires assets of one million Soul Power, my knowledge is merely from overheard conversations between some guests," Zhao Tian explained.

"I’ve never been either," Murong Qingqing chimed in.

They had only worked as guides on the first floor, dealing mostly with new clients with the occasional unfamiliar guest hiring them.

As for the second floor, it was truly beyond their ability to reach.

Then, after chatting with the two for a while and having them share everything they knew,

"Alright, then, my hiring of you for today is over. You can leave now," Mu Rufeng announced.

He was too lazy to go to the first floor, and since they didn’t have information about the second floor, there was no point in keeping them around.

"Mr. Mu, our assets are now sufficient, so let’s head up together later," Zhao Tian and Murong Qingqing exchanged a glance before suggesting.

"No need, I’ll go by myself. You two do whatever you need to do," Mu Rufeng waved them away.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian and Murong Qingqing wanted to insist but ultimately held back.

"Alright, Mr. Mu, we won’t disturb you any longer."

They bid farewell and left the room.

Outside, Zhao Tian and Murong Qingqing headed toward the elevator.

"Qingqing, do you think we should wait around on the second floor?" Zhao Tian suddenly suggested.

"Of course we should. Who knows, we might be able to continue betting with Mr. Mu. Plus, we can explore the second floor first and then report what we find back to Mr. Mu."

"That way, Mr. Mu probably won’t mind us following him," Murong Qingqing reasoned.

"Right, but since we’ve never been to the second floor, we should be cautious—I don’t want to lose what I’ve just earned." Zhao Tian replied.

"That’s natural. I don’t want to lose everything either. We’ll take it steady and just bet the minimum when it’s time," Murong Qingqing said.

With that decision, the two set out for the second floor together.

...

Back in the room.

Sitting on the sofa, Mu Rufeng began reviewing his gains.

Setting aside the Rule Items and Level 9 items for now, they were more or less comparable to what he had bet on.

In terms of talents, he originally had seven but had bet on seven, only to be compensated with four, plus the three talents from Sulfuric Acid that he had won.

This meant that Mu Rufeng now had fourteen talents. The other three talents he won apparently did not have an equivalent value, so they compensated him with Soul Power instead.

Or perhaps talents of Mu Rufeng’s type just couldn’t be found.

Still, Mu Rufeng mused, it wasn’t likely that his talents alone were worth several million Soul Power, was it?

But then again, Mu Rufeng didn’t care to dwell on that.

He glanced at the four talents he had won from his successful bet.

[Fire Element]: You possess the power to control fire.

[Fury]: Upon consuming fresh blood, you can enter a state of fury, enhancing all attributes by 10%.

[Defense Extension]: You can double the duration of your defensive talents.

[Thief Never Leaves Empty]: When killing an enemy, you can make them drop an item they possess, including items within their Storage Space.

Mu Rufeng immediately recognized that these four talents corresponded to [Thunder Element], [Bloodthirst], [Absolute Defense], and [Hundred Times Drop Rate].

However, what Mu Rufeng was particularly curious about was why Thunder Element seemed stronger than Fire Element at a glance.

After pondering for a while, Mu Rufeng realized that while Thunder Element was strong, it wasn’t about strength but rather about the type of element.

Thunder Element was a natural Elemental Power, just as Fire Element was a natural Power of Fire Element.

It wasn’t about strength or weakness, only about their equivalent status.

A new thought struck Mu Rufeng.

If that was the case, then when betting on talents, the calculation would be based on the lowest equivalent value.

For instance, his [Rule modification] wasn’t available in the Talent Library of Golden City, but there might have been previous talents that were somewhat related.

They would then use that related talent as a benchmark, set a price, and compensate with Soul Power.

Mu Rufeng guessed that this was most likely the case.

Speaking of which, Fire Element wasn’t bad at all; acquiring the Power of Fire Element would definitely enhance Mu Rufeng’s control over Fire Magic.

Mu Rufeng introspected his own status and then popped the bubble representing the Fire Element talent. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

As the bubble shattered, a prompt appeared in his mind.

[You have acquired the talent: Fire Element]

In an instant, Mu Rufeng felt a searing energy emerge within him.

This energy immediately absorbed and integrated the Fire Attribute power he had from Fire God Descending.

Seeing this, Mu Rufeng’s eyes flashed with surprise and then he smiled.
