Chapter 6: Want your goddess's photo?

  Lingquan City, a few faint ripples appeared in the air of a deserted area, and a figure emerged from the ripples. Jiǔ Mìng moved his neck, and an extra black cloak appeared on his body. However, he quickly shook his head, and the illusory cloak inevitably became semi-transparent, making him look even more eerie after putting it on. Perhaps he should get a giant scythe?

  Estimated midnight was illuminated by someone with an electric light, seeing one's own state, plus having no shadowy posture can really scare the opponent out of urine.

  It's broad daylight now, with the sun shining brightly in the sky. The weirdo in his soul doesn't have to worry about being scorched to death by the sun, which should be related to the fact that he woke up after being cremated in a furnace when he died. After all, he didn't get roasted alive in the furnace either... barely not.

  His abnormal exposure has become more severe, and there is no way to cover it up. Others who see it will ask, "Hey! Where did your shadow go?" Those with quick reactions can already imagine the scene where the other person shouts "Ghost!"

  Is there a ghost in this world? Hmm, should be. Anyway, it's a super-powered type of world, even if there are ghosts, they won't be too scary, the most important thing is that this planet, under the nine lives, is called Earth...

  Haha, don't mind such a small detail for now, let's talk about it later tonight. The mysterious shop has a high level of stinginess because Jiu Ling is a ghost, so there aren't even the slightest daily necessities there. Mian Ban Jun also reminded him that he doesn't need such 'useless' things, so the mysterious shop naturally saved on some unnecessary expenses.

  Is collection enabled?

  "...Looking at the stone in his hand, Jiǔ Mìng's mouth twitched slightly, the collection function, is the way the mysterious shop 'restocks', there is no delivery source for the goods, so the source of goods is him, the store manager, going to find and collect them, it's just that he was previously in training mode, the collection function wasn't enabled, as for the process..."

  Name: Stone

  [Type: Consumable]

  [Attribute: None]

  Usage count: 1

  Quality: Ordinary

  Note: Trash that can be picked up at hand, is it valuable except for being used to hit people?

  Convertible Source Power: 0

  Ownerless items can be directly collected into a portable sealed card, of course, there is another forced collection method that forcibly seals things that do not belong to oneself, which requires extra source power consumption. The same collection can also target some intangible but equally valuable existence. When it belongs to a voluntary and legitimate transaction between you and me, this collection function will not consume source power, targeting objects such as life...

  Jiǔ Mìng's body still had a mysterious 'card collection book' provided by the shopkeeper, and this stone was apparently worthless.

  The store is open, let's not mention how light and airy the opening of a certain store is. The nine lives came out, but it wasn't to take a breath, rather, it was the experience provided by the previous shopkeeper that Face Panel gave him. In the early stages, the shopkeeper still had to go out and run errands himself. Anyway, except for not being able to reveal the mysterious store or bring outsiders in on his own initiative, there weren't many special restrictions. Running errands on his own was completely feasible...

  The source power, also known as the original source power, all things have spirits and have their own original source power. The difference is just a matter of degree. This kind of power is also a kind of omnipotent power that can intervene in any aspect. However, whether it can be used or not is another story. The difficulty of using it is many times more difficult than letting people use their consciousness to control every part of the body, including the regulation of endocrine organs.

  Among them, the panel that provided information to Jiǔ Mìng also specially reminded him that if he could destroy a world, he would be able to plunder the entire world's original power... Of course, the premise is that he can survive in the backlash of the destroyed world. The mysterious shop neither supports nor approves of this approach, and Jiǔ Mìng doing so will not provide him with any assistance. If he survives, it's his own luck; if he doesn't, it's time to change shops.

  Taking away plundering is a fair trading method, Jiǔ Mìng thinks that since the mysterious shop exists in the form of a shop, fair trade is the right way. Plundering and whatnot, he hasn't become so depraved as to do that, and it's only effective in apocalyptic situations anyway.

  "Fair deal, let's talk about it tonight." He casually threw the stone in his hand to one side. Isn't a fair deal hard to find?

  Lingquan City's situation is that nine lives are fine, just come here to take a look around. Some situations have been clear for a long time. This world has people with special abilities, no doubt about it. Most humans are ordinary people, and as for schools, they are different from the world where Nine Lives was born. The main purpose is to teach people with special abilities. In this world, anyone with potential can awaken their own superpowers.

  This was found by Jiǔ Mìng in the middle of the night, sneaking into a school in Líng Quán City to flip through textbooks. Unfortunately, it wasn't ordinary human-level stuff, and Jiǔ Mìng almost got discovered. His first business deal happened there, not long ago he noticed a student in that school, whose strength was average, superpowers were also unremarkable, just an **ordinary person...

  The other party is infatuated with the school flower in school, that's all!

  A fleeting figure quickly shuttled through the Changhe Academy, silently and quietly arriving near the girls' dormitory area, even more unreasonably passing directly through the wall.

  "Hmm, the school flower's room is easy to find, that kid's diary has all the details. The only thing to be careful about is the school flower's strength. She's not only the school flower but also a top student, and her abilities aren't bad either. But students are just students, and Nine Lives is confident in taking care of this task. Calming his breath, Nine Lives' body slowly becomes transparent as he advances silently... There are many surveillance cameras with life detection here, but they're all useless against Nine Lives..."

  "Is Du Fei okay? Not waking up yet?" With a handful of hair, he waved it in front of the young man's nose and waited for him to wake up. This was an ordinary four-person dorm room, which was quite different from that school flower's single dormitory. Rubbing his cheek, Jiu Ming curled up the corner of his mouth, he absolutely didn't mean to take advantage, just took a few strands of hair from that school flower.

  It was almost discovered, and I don't know what identity the school flower is, but there are actually guards lurking around her. He can be immune to physical attacks, but energy attacks can hurt him, and now he has a small wound on his cheek that won't bleed.

  "!!!!!" The young man who was originally asleep suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't see any sleepiness at all, "This smell, it's definitely correct!!!"

  Although suppressing his voice for fear of being heard by his roommate, Du Fei's tone still carried an irrepressible excitement. This lingering flavor, could it be that his goddess had been here!!!??

  "You're overthinking." Nine Lives yawned, adding nonchalantly that he wasn't looking for this kid without a reason. His ability was useless in battle, but somewhat useful in other aspects. The ability to record flavors... Nine Lives really didn't believe he hadn't recorded the school flower's flavor!

  "Who!?" Du Fei looked towards the source of the sound in great surprise, and soon his attention was focused on the few strands of hair in Jiǔ Mìng's hand. His expression was a mix of shock and fear. Who is this person? How did he get here? And why does he have the school flower's hair in his hand?

  The school's defensive capabilities aren't bad either.

  "Hey kid, wanna make a deal?" Emerging from the shadows, Jiǔ Mìng flashed a refreshing smile as he flicked the strand of hair in his hand over to Dù Fēi, who snatched it up with lightning speed, like picking up money.

  "What's the deal?"

  As he spoke, he couldn't help but size up Jiuming. The other's skin was pale and translucent, his build slender and weak, with short, messy hair. His pale face wore a faint smile. Du Fei quickly made a comparison and curled the corner of his mouth - the other guy was more handsome than him...

  The most important thing is that he can't smell the scent on Jiǔ Mìng's body!

  This person must be very powerful.

  "Are you secretly in love with the school beauty?"

  Du Fei's face suddenly turned red, and he stuttered, unable to say a word. Jiu Ming smiled slightly, thinking that love was something his weak body had never experienced in life, and now it seemed even more impossible. He didn't bother worrying about such things; if fate brought them together, then so be it.

  "Of course, you're just a thread, destined to have fate but no affinity... However, I can help you."

  "Counterattack?" Du Fei asked weakly, his attention already drawn to Jiuming's proposal, and he could worry about his identity later.

  "Are you good at fighting? Hmm, but your abilities aren't bad either!" Jiǔ Mìng patted his shoulder sympathetically. With his abilities, it wouldn't be hard for him to stand out and become an elite scout. As for other things, don't forget that this world is dominated by superpowers, so it's hard for him to stand out in other areas with his special abilities. "Revenge and all that can wait, do you want to buy her photo?"

  “……Huh?” Du Fei tilted his head to one side, a bit dazed. He had never thought that Jiu Ming would come to make this kind of transaction? Selling photos? Speaking of which, the school beauty's photos were rarely circulated, he could get the school beauty's hair, so the photos shouldn't be a problem?

  It's just a bit frustrating, the goddess in his heart is being secretly photographed by someone else, and the person who took the photo is even more brazenly standing in front of him, patting his shoulder and negotiating with him, 'Hey! Buddy! I have your goddess' photos here, do you want them?'...

  Can we kill this guy after taking his picture?

  "Do you want money?"

  "Is that all you're striving for? Is your goddess measured by money?" Jiǔ Mìng's expression didn't change, what would he do with money?

  "Uh." Du Fei looked embarrassed, "Then what do you want? I don't have anything special."

  "A photo for a day of your life, if not I'll find someone else, anyway there are many people like you."

  "What? How is this possible?" Du Fei's face was filled with worry, and even a hint of fear. In a world where there were many kinds of supernatural abilities, some of which were strange and unpredictable, the person in front of him...

  Rubbing his eyes, Du Fei seemed to vaguely see the curtains behind Jiu Ming's body, through his body.

  This transaction... can be settled? No, it's just a day's worth of life, and it doesn't seem too heavy either.
