Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

117: Starship Mall! Exchange for epic runes!The scale of the official mall far exceeded Lin Fei’s imagination.

It was a full ten stories high, shaped like a bamboo shoot.

This place not only sold goods but was more like a giant exhibition hall of technology and magic.

All sorts of peculiar alien creations.

Weapons and equipment shimmered with energy, exuding a strong futuristic aura.

There were also gene modification fluids encapsulated in transparent containers.

The dazzling array was overwhelming.

However, the prices were not low.

As soon as the two entered the mall, the mall manager, who was in charge of operations, quickly came forward to greet them.

He was a middle-aged man in a sharp purple suit, with his hair slicked back, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and a professional smile on his face.

”Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, welcome to the Starship Official Mall!”

The manager enthusiastically extended his hand, ”Your heroic performance in the Super Beast-Fighting Competition was truly amazing.

Your visit today truly honors our humble establishment.

On behalf of all the staff at the mall, I extend our highest respect to both of you.”

News travels fast on the Starship.

After all, it was equivalent to a small city, and after Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi’s battle, they completely became celebrities.

”Heh heh, Manager, you’re too kind,” Lin Fei rubbed his nose.

He shook his hand.

”We’re here to claim the champion’s reward, and we also want to buy some epic rune stones.”

”No problem, no problem. The Captain has specifically instructed me to bring out the best rune stones for you. Please follow me.”

The manager’s smile became even brighter, and he personally led the way, taking the two to the VIP area on the top floor of the mall.

The goods in the VIP area, whether in quality or rarity, were far superior to those in the ordinary area.

The skill rune stones here.

Each one was individually placed in an ultra-hard glass display case.

Each rune stone floated, energy fluctuations emanating and bursting forth with special light.

They were all Epic grade!

Lin Fei’s gaze carefully searched through the display cases.

Epic skill rune stones varied widely in type, effect, and price.

The cheaper ones, such as rune stones that slightly increased single element damage or added a tiny amount of attributes, were priced around three million star coins.

As for those powerful, top-tier epic rune stones that could bring about a qualitative change in a certain skill.

Their prices were as high as seven or eight million.

The highest reached 10 million star coins.

”Mr. Lin, according to the champion reward rules, you can choose any epic rune stone from our store as your reward,” the manager introduced at the appropriate time.

”Can I choose any of them?”

”Yes, regardless of price, even a 10-million-star-coin rune stone, you can choose.”

Lin Fei didn’t want to take advantage of others, preferring to choose the expensive one rather than just the right one.

He wanted to find a rune stone that suited him to strengthen his skills.

Now, Lin Fei had many skills at his disposal.

Icy Arrow, Fireball, Teleport, Ice Meteorite, Fire Meteorite, Fire Snake, Ice Dragon Twister, Pyroblast, Ice Hammer.

These were skills granted by the Mage skill tree.

In addition, he had learned Dragons Roar Gold Bell Cover, Monument Breaking Hand, Blazing Fire Leg, Eight Steps Catching Cicadas, and Rakshasa Soul Search.

However, among all skills, the strongest was still Palm Thunder.

Lin Fei was not in a hurry and wandered around all of them.

His gaze finally settled on a rune stone that glowed with purple lightning, as if countless electric snakes were darting inside.

【Rune Stone Name: Lightning Chain Conduction (Epic)】

【Effect: Gives your designated lightning-type skill a certain chance to generate chain lightning after hitting a target, dealing damage to additional enemies nearby.】

【Price: 9 million star coins】

”This is it,” Lin Fei said, pointing to the Lightning Chain Conduction rune stone.

His 【Palm Thunder (Dragon Subduing · Five Thunder Soul Chasing)】 was terrifyingly powerful, but when dealing with groups of monsters, its damage output wasn’t as fast.

It required the thunder dragon to collide with the monsters to deal damage.

But now, if this rune stone reinforcement was added, it could unleash a chain lightning at the moment of contact.

This greatly increased the efficiency of clearing enemies.

Or rather, it added a small-scale burst.

The efficiency of clearing the field would be greatly improved, especially the more enemies there were, the more obvious this effect would be.

”Sir, you have excellent taste. This Lightning Chain Conduction is the treasure of our mall!” the manager praised, and immediately arranged for staff to process the exchange.

Immediately after, Lin Fei began to choose other rune stones for himself.

He was now rich and naturally wanted to choose what suited him best and provided the greatest improvement.

Soon, he took a liking to two more epic rune stones.

One was 【Elemental Penetration (Epic)】, with a simple and brutal effect: directly increasing the elemental penetration of spells, ignoring more of the enemy’s elemental resistance, priced at 5 million star coins.

The other rune stone had a somewhat strange name: 【Big Big Big! (Epic)】.

【Rune Stone Name: Big Big Big! (Epic)】

【Effect: Can designate a spell skill to have its area of effect, volume, or the size of its projectiles greatly increased.

(Some special skills may be ineffective or have reduced effects)】

【Price: 7.5 million star coins】

Lin Fei’s eyes lit up when he saw this rune stone.

Many of his skills, such as 【Infernal Meteor】 and 【Ice Dragon Twister】, would have unimaginable power if their range could be further expanded.

Especially Extreme Icefall; the meteor that fell was already three meters in size.

If it were further boosted by this 【Big Big Big!】 rune stone, wouldn’t it be able to drop giant meteors the size of houses?

The thought of that scene alone was exciting.

However, Lin Fei’s priority for reinforcement was still Palm Thunder.

The Palm Thunder, which fired every three seconds, had to be reinforced with all available rune stones.

”I’ll buy these two,” Lin Fei said grandly.

The 9 million Lightning Chain Conduction was a gift.

These two combined cost 12.5 million star coins, which was not too much of a burden for his current savings of over 30 million.

Lin Fei was done on his side.

Lin Mengzi was also making her selections.

As a Necromancer, her core combat power lay in her summoned creatures.

Her gaze was quickly drawn to two dark red rune stones that exuded a wild and bloodthirsty aura.

【Rune Stone Name: Bad Temper (Epic)】

【Effect: Grants your summoned creatures a stronger desire to attack, significantly increasing their attack speed and attack power, but slightly reduces their defense and makes them more difficult to control.

】

【Price: 5 million star coins/piece】

”I want these two.”

Lin Mengzi said to Lin Fei. She could feel that these two rune stones were very compatible with her undead army.

Although they would reduce defense and make control difficult, for undead creatures like her Bone Dragon King and Eight-Armed Golem, which already possessed powerful offensive capabilities, that slight side effect was completely acceptable.

One must know, the Eight-Armed Golem had eight arms; if its attack speed were to increase further, wouldn’t it be like a glitching animation!

”Sister, these two are indeed very suitable for you.”

”Hehe, pursuing ultimate offense is the style of an Undead Queen,” Lin Mengzi laughed.

Lin Fei naturally had no objections.

He never hesitated to spend money on his sister.

Just like when Lin Mengzi had her first trial, she unhesitatingly gave Lin Fei all of her only 10,000 initial killing coins.

Lin Fei bought them directly.

”Sister, there’s still about ten million left. Let’s spend it all. We only need to keep 2 million.”

After all, it was a special trial dungeon, and it was unknown whether the currency here would be useful later.

Although Lin Fei had also thought that perhaps he could go out and sell star coins to those who needed them, exchanging them for killing coins.

But then again, Lin Fei’s current consumption of killing coins wasn’t too large.

He still had about twenty million on hand, and if he really ran out of money, he could go and take down some high-ranking members of the Angela Conglomerate and Blackwater; wouldn’t that be faster money?

These conglomerates controlled vast amounts of wealth, but it was all ill-gotten gains.

Lin Fei felt no psychological pressure about seizing ill-gotten wealth.

”Okay, then I’ll choose another one.”
