Chapter 689: Chapter 689 – The Woman
“Although the life force contained in this gem is not bad, there are also many substitutes here. There’s no need to spend so much money to buy it…”Charlie could not help but say, looking at Chen Heng standing in the same place.
Even though he was used to seeing extraordinary occasions throughout his journey, he still felt terrified by Chen Heng’s actions, as Chen Heng would immediately buy anything he liked along the way.
Chen Heng had already bought countless things. Of course, buying things was not a big deal. As a great mage and now a fifth-rank mage, Charlie was also a nouveau riche in the outside world. He usually spent a lot of money without hesitation when he bought things.
However, the situation here was different. Spending a lot in the outside world was only money in the ordinary sense. Those who could enter this space were not short of money. Yet, spending a lot of money in this place would cost precious simulation points.
Charlie had already noticed his surroundings. As Chen Heng walked, the gazes of many people around him changed, staring at Chen Heng’s undisguised face and being attracted by his extremely nouveau-riche style.
They stared at Chen Heng from head to toe, and their eyes were fixed on him as if they wanted to remember him in their hearts. They just can’t help it, as he was simply too rich. Chen Heng easily attracted the people’s gazes, making it impossible for them to take their eyes off him. Even Charlie himself was the same, not to mention others.
Charlie was somewhat glad that he was the first to meet Chen Heng. Otherwise, with Chen Heng’s status, he would not even have the opportunity to approach and talk to him under normal circumstances.
“I think it’s alright.” Listening to Charlie’s words, Chen Heng smiled and said softly, “Although there are many things that can replenish life force, there are very few things of high quality like this Life Gem before me. Moreover, such a Life Gem is only sold for 1,000 simulation points. I think it’s quite affordable.” He smiled as if he had picked up a bargain.
‘Quite affordable?’ Listening to Chen Heng’s words, Charlie could not help but twitch his lips. Even those secretly observing around him did not know what to say.
The Life Gem before him was indeed precious. It was a crystal condensed by a magical beast whose strength was comparable to a mythical existence, containing all its life force. Moreover, it was said that it came from a simulation world.
/
Such things were naturally extremely precious. It was enough to be a collection for a high and mighty god. But to buy it with 1,000 simulation points was quite squandering.
‘What didn’t he spend the 1,000 simulation points wisely? Why was it so wasteful?’ The people around felt their hearts ache and did not know what to say.
Only the priest selling this Life Gem was smiling brightly, looking as friendly as he could be. His attitude also became more respectful, kept bowing to Chen Heng. He can’t help it. This customer was a god. The Church of the Gods was not unworldly. Just that ordinary wealth was nothing to them.
After buying the Life Gem, Chen Heng was quite satisfied despite the heated gazes of the people around him. All in all, he had spent more than 3,000 simulation points on this journey. Such a huge amount was enough to make one’s heart ache.
This amount of simulation points was equivalent to the amount many have accumulated since they had the marks. But, on the other hand, Chen Heng spent them when he came out.
However, Chen Heng had nothing to feel sorry for. After all, money was meant to be spent. At this moment, there were still more than 100,000 simulation points in his simulator. The surrounding people did not even dare to imagine such a huge number of simulation points, let alone possessing them.
This was also why Chen Heng was willing to spend them. After all, the number of simulation points he had was already beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
“The gemstone is nice, can be used to make potions later…” Chen Heng was deep in thought as he walked on the road.
That huge egg was still lying there in his laboratory. It absorbed a huge amount of life force every moment, so much so that Chen Heng could not bear it anymore.
Fortunately, this place gave Chen Heng a good replenishment. Otherwise, he would probably still have to worry about these things now. Chen Heng harvested a lot from this trip.
However, the only thing that made him a little regretful was that the mark owners were not strong enough at the moment. The time they had the marks were too short.
Another possibility was that they did not have enough purchasing power. Therefore, not many things were useful to Chen Heng at the moment, as most of the things that might be useful to him were not displayed.
After all, judging from the current situation, even if these people displayed the items, not many people could afford them. Chen Heng could not help but feel a little regretful thinking of this. Then, he looked at Charlie and smiled, ready to leave.
Then, someone suddenly called out to him.
“Oh?” Chen Heng was surprised, looking at the person behind him. Then, he smiled and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The person who stopped him was a woman covered in a long robe. She was wearing a long robe and a mask on her face. No one could see her actual appearance but could only tell she was a woman.
Standing beside Chen Heng, Charlie’s expression slightly changed as he looked at the woman who suddenly appeared before them. Charlie looked at Chen Heng as if he wanted to say something, but he did not dare to say it directly.
Charlie’s attitude immediately made Chen Heng realize that the woman’s identity was unusual. Thus, he carefully sensed it. Layers of hazy reflections were stripped out. The real scene began to appear before Chen Heng’s eyes. Then, everything changed.
The woman seemed to have turned into a ball of light in Chen Heng’s eyes. There was a bright radiance in it and waves of law energy interweaving, condensing together to form an unknown existence. A vast and powerful divine power aura faintly spread and was caught by Chen Heng’s keen senses.
Suddenly, he seemed to be in deep thought. This was a figure related to a god. Perhaps it was a god’s incarnation, or perhaps it was a god’s substitute. However, it was related to a god no matter what.
“I have some things on hand that I think you might need.” The woman shrouded in a haze looked at Chen Heng and said.
While wearing a mask, Chen Heng could not see her expression but could only hear her light and unique voice.
“I do need something unique.” Chen Heng thought for a moment and said, “I just don’t know what you have here.”
“I don’t think I’ll let you down.” The woman’s voice sounded, “I’ve been observing you. You’ve been wandering around the periphery for a long time. Are you trying to find something you want here? But, unfortunately, although there are many good things here, it’s not so easy to display truly valuable things.”
“Is that so?” Chen Heng smiled and said, “You seemed confident. Where are your goods? Can you show me what good things are?”
“You will see them.” The woman nodded and waved her hand, indicating for Chen Heng to leave with her.
Chen Heng walked forward and followed her without much hesitation. However, Charlie was a little hesitant. He looked at Chen Heng’s back and didn’t know if he should follow him.
He was smart, so he naturally knew that the woman intended to deliberately bring Chen Heng away to avoid others. Although he was curious, he was still tactful and didn’t move. Instead, he was prepared to stay where he was and leave.
Unexpectedly, Chen Heng’s voice sounded from the front, “Mr. Charlie, come over too.” Chen Heng looked at Charlie behind him with a smile, “Thank you for leading the way today. I haven’t had the time to express my gratitude to you. Can you follow me for a while now so I can give you my contact information later?” His smile was very cordial, and his actions were decent, involuntarily giving people a good impression.
Charlie no longer hesitated and quickly followed, hearing Chen Heng’s words. He still did not want to let go of the person before him. Since he had already given him a ladder, he naturally had to grab it.
The woman glanced at Charlie indifferently. Perhaps Charlie’s identity and strength were too inconspicuous, therefore, did not attract her attention. The three of them walked forward. Fog shrouded the three of them, turning them into a void.
“Okay.” As they walked forward, Chen Heng came to another area. He looked around and smiled, “There shouldn’t be anyone here to spy on us.”
“No.” In front, the woman paused, seeming hesitant, “There’s still some risk.”
“How about this?” The smile on Chen Heng’s face did not change. Instead, he just waved his hand.
A purple light appeared in his hand and then spread, forming an obvious isolated area in the surroundings. One could only see a hazy area from the outside.
