After Zhou Xingdou closed the door to the secret room again, his expression could no longer remain as calm and composed as before, and in an instant it turned as gloomy as a cold pool.
How could Grandpa be so calm when he left Chuyuan with the Zhou family without a sound?
He may appear numb, but that doesn't mean he's truly calm. He's just putting on an act for others; his heart is already filled with a sense of crisis.
No matter how arrogant and flamboyant he was in the past, Zhou Xingdou never worried, because the Zhou family was like a mountain firmly in his heart.
But now he had to admit that he was losing his composure, and his whole body was involuntarily tensing up.
Demons, Tianjizi, the Heavenly Dao, the Chaos God Cult, and those unknown enemies, as well as the unfathomable Yun Jinzhi, all threaten his life.
Zhou Xingdou remained calm because, although he was in a swamp of mud, there was still a pillar supporting him, and no one could stop him from leaving if he wanted to.
But now things are very different. The towering pillar behind him has suddenly been pulled away, leaving only a few bamboo poles. These bamboo poles can barely hold him up, but they could break at any moment.
The swampy silt could swallow him up at any moment!
This caused Zhou Xingdou to break out in a cold sweat. Now that he had emerged from seclusion, if he were truly fearless, how could he possibly return to this secret room?
If he were truly fearless, he would immediately go to the original site of the Zhou family to see if his grandfather and Uncle Qin had left any information, instead of letting Chen Nong and the others move the Zhou family's legacy to the Great Yan Dynasty.
However, Zhou Xingdou could not show this worry to Chen Nong and Ning Yueze. Just as he thought, he was now the backbone of the group, and if he lost his composure, everything would fall into chaos.
Moreover, his pride prevented others from seeing his nervousness.
This is an extremely contradictory mindset, which even Stephen Chow finds hard to understand. It's astonishing that such a mindset could appear in someone who has lived three lifetimes.
But this is not Zhou Xingdou's fault. The things he is dealing with and the things he is provoking are things that even the Great Emperor would tremble with fear. Ultimately, he is only a Supreme Saint now.
Zhou Xingdou took a few deep breaths and unintentionally saw his current appearance on the polished jade disc next to him, which was as smooth as a mirror.
Looking at his own tense face and sweaty face, Zhou Xingdou gave a self-deprecating smile and murmured to himself, looking at his reflection on the jade wall:
"You shouldn't have that expression on your face..."
With that, Zhou Xingdou clenched his fist and slammed it onto the jade wall, causing the reflection on the jade wall to distort as if ripples were splashing on the surface of water.
In that instant, the cold sweat on Zhou Xingdou's forehead evaporated instantly with his blood and qi, which was as intense as the blazing sun. He also forcibly suppressed his tense and unsightly expression.
When the reflection on the jade wall reappeared, Zhou Xingdou's expression had become completely indifferent. His silver-white eyes, filled with purple aura, were extremely deep, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Zhou Xingdou stopped looking at his reflection and stared blankly at the palm that had just struck the jade wall, saying:
"Power... strength... influence..."
His voice grew colder and colder:
"I want it all!"
As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou clenched his fist, and a sudden gust of wind rose in the secret room, causing his ink-black hair to dance wildly.
He never wanted that expression to appear on his face again.
That wasn't the expression he should have. He could be easygoing, carefree, even humorous, but he would never allow that look of incompetence to appear on his face!
However, now that he wants to obtain all of this quickly, the system's help is naturally indispensable.
Zhou Xingdou returned to the center of the secret room, sat cross-legged again, and after calming himself down, said to the system program:
"Open the Luck Points Shop!"
After the system was repaired ahead of schedule, Zeng Yan updated the Luck Value Shop, added new products, and enhanced existing cards.
Initially, Zhou Xingdou was suspicious of the system program and lost his composure due to the secret of rebirth, so he did not check it in time. However, it is not too late to check it now.
In an instant, a brand-new Luck Value Shop appeared in front of Zhou Xingdou.
...
[Innate Fortune Stripping Card]: Can strip the innate fortune of those who possess it (after enhancement, it can be used to strip the Chosen One). Price: Fortune Value.
[Ignore Kill Card]: Can remove the invincibility condition of the Chosen One's destiny in advance. (After enhancement, it isolates the Chosen One from all protection, but killing them will still be difficult and unpredictable.) Price: Destiny Value.
[Fate Clearing Card]: Clears the opponent's fate, but does not grant any luck points reward. (Note: Can be used directly on those with great luck; for special luck users such as the Chosen One, the Fate Clearing Card can only be used after using the Ignore Kill Card.) Price: Luck points. (Price halved after enhancement.)
[Chosen One Exploration Card]: Using this card allows you to directly explore for Chosen Ones within a certain range, instantly opening the panel and displaying their locations. (After enhancement, the exploration range has increased from one state to a radius of five states.) Price: 2000 Luck Points.
...
Zhou Xingdou looked at the existing cards in the Luck Value Shop and nodded slightly.
The Innate Fortune Stripping Card used to only work on people with great fortune and couldn't be used on those destined for greatness, making it somewhat useless.
Now that it has been enhanced and can be used on the chosen ones, it has become much more useful. After all, the innate fortune of those so-called people with great luck or destiny is too low-level, and Zhou Xingdou finds it hard to look down on them.
It's a pity that this card wasn't enhanced before Du Buhui was defeated, since Zhou Xingdou was also very envious of the innate fortune of that immortal divine soul.
However, without Du Buhui's indestructible divine soul, Zhou Xingdou would not have been able to repair the system a second time so early. It can only be said that you have to give up something to gain something.
As for the "Ignore Kill Card," it now seems to be a real waste of money. Not only is it expensive, but its function is also extremely useless, as it only removes the kill restriction.
Although all protections have been removed, there are still difficulties and unexpected events. Not to mention the risks, the benefits are not as great as gradually weakening the destiny of the chosen one.
This card is something that I would almost never use unless it was given away for free.
The "Fate Clearing Card" remained unchanged, except for a 50% price reduction, from 20,000 to 10,000, which Zhou Xingdou ignored.
However, the Fortune Detection Card has been greatly enhanced. Originally, it could only detect the territory of one state, but now it can detect five times that amount, covering five states in the surrounding area.
However, these point-adding cards are not Zhou Xingdou's current focus. What he really wants to know is the price of the multiverse travel and what the other new items are.
After reading the card, Zhou Xingdou scrolled down into the Luck Value Shop, where several new items immediately appeared, making his eyes light up.
