That was what made an existential plane’s master so fearsome. By using Power of Existential Plane, they could easily kill all the low-end living beings in their existential planes.
“Ding! 1 Longhorned Demon killed, 12 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals gained!”
“Ding...”
As Meng Lei commenced his operation, his Wealth value also began to spike insanely. He gained one billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals after wiping out the demons on one existential plane.
Going by the rate of 0.1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal per demon, that meant that he had killed as many as 10 billion demons!
Of course, the actual numbers were undoubtedly even bigger.
If 1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal equated to 10 billion gold coins, then that meant that 0.1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal equated to 1 billion gold coins.
That was the amount he earned when he killed a Saint Domain Magical Beast, which was the equivalent of a Demon General among the demons.
Was it possible for every demon on an existential plane to be a Demon General? Obviously not. Worlds would always be populated by low-end beings the most, no matter which it was.
Therefore, more than 10 billion demons had definitely died on that existential plane alone.
Fortunately, Meng Lei had employed a humanitarian way of annihilating them. The demons died instantly without any pain or fear and left the world very peacefully.
“Let’s head to the next one!”
Just like that, Meng Lei traveled around all 48 existential planes and began an all-new way of withdrawing funds from ATMs.
About ten existential planes later, the depleted funds were not only replenished, but he had also broken through the 10 billion milestone.
The system’s icy voice abruptly rang out at this point.
“Ding! It has been detected that the host’s Wealth value has broken through the 10 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals mark and now fulfills the system upgrade condition. Dear host, will you upgrade the system?”
Meng Lei was stunned. The system was upgrading again?
The last time it had upgraded was when he had broken through to Saint Domain, thereby fulfilling the system upgrade condition. However, this time, the upgrade was actually because his Wealth had broken through the 10 billion mark!
Wasn’t the trash system being a little too willful here?
Dissing aside, Meng Lei promptly gave the order to upgrade the system without any hesitation whatsoever.
“Upgrade!”
“Ding! Upgrading the system requires 10 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. Dear host, will you upgrade the system?”
“10... billion... Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?!”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp and remark, “What the hell! Must you use that many Laws of Nature Origin Crystals just to upgrade yourself? Isn’t this daylight robbery?!”
As though it hadn’t heard Meng Lei’s dissing at all, the system repeated coldly, “Ding! Upgrading the system requires 10 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. Dear host, will you upgrade the system?”
Meng Lei suppressed the heartache from having to part with the money, and then he gave the order to upgrade—albeit in an extremely disgruntled manner.
Whoosh!
The 10 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals that he had only just earned were instantly reset to zero, and Meng Lei turned into a pauper once more.
“Ding! System upgrade commencing!
“Upgrade Duration: Three hours.
“A friendly reminder: During the upgrading process, all functions of the system will be shut down. Dear host, please wait patiently.”
“Go ahead and upgrade all you want! All the better if you’re broken in the process! Upgrade all the way into the sky, and don’t come back if you so dare! Goddamn it!”
Meng Lei felt like crying as he stared at his empty Wealth attribute. He had only just earned 10 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals through his own abilities and hadn’t even spent that much time with it, yet they were all gone now?
Wasn’t this frustrating?
Wasn’t this infuriating?
Despite his displeasure, however, Meng Lei was still very much looking forward to the results. The system had gained two new functions—Limitless Pickup and Brutal Plunder—after its previous upgrade.
Even though he rarely used Brutal Plunder, the function’s powerful capabilities were an undeniable fact.
Limitless Pickup didn’t even require any further explanation. Just how many benefits had the function brought to Meng Lei?
The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline, the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline, various fusion laws of nature fragments, as well as the Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts and Soul Ice Marrow droplet used to enhance his divine spirit...
All of these had been thanks to Limitless Pickup.
It was no exaggeration to say that Meng Lei wouldn’t be where he was today had it not been for Limitless Pickup.
It was apparent how great the benefits that the system had brought Meng Lei after its upgrade were.
This was also the reason why Meng Lei hadn’t hesitated to upgrade the system at all, despite the astrological cost. The rewards that he had received post-upgrade were far more than what he had spent.
“I wonder what kind of new functions there’ll be after the upgrade?”
Meng Lei was full of anticipation.
“Master, you...”
Bubbles and the others were utterly confused at the sight of Meng Lei, who had suddenly stopped in his tracks and adopted a look of anticipation.
What is Master secretly so thrilled about? C’mon, tell us and let us share in the joy, too!
After all, happiness is better off shared with others!
“It’s nothing.”
Meng Lei waved them off and said, “You can return to Heaven’s Vault Continent and discuss the migration issue with Puhaman first. A sudden wave of inspiration has struck me, so I’m going to go into seclusion here instead.”
A sudden wave of inspiration?
His subordinates didn’t quite know what to say anymore. How long had it only been since his breakthrough? Yet he had been struck by inspiration again?
Compared to Master, we’ve practically lived our lives in vain!
