Nina's combat strength had also been promoted to A2 level a few days ago. How could the fat man, who was only B1 level, withstand her kick? After being kicked, the fat man lay on the ground like a dead pig, groaning, but dared not speak loudly anymore.

"Look at you, sneaking around like this, making it sound like your own home. I've never seen you before, you fat pig. What else could you be but a thief? And who is this 'boss' you're talking about? Is he a thief like you?"

Nina kicked the fat man to the ground, finally gaining the upper hand in the conversation, and began a barrage of verbal attacks. The fat man Dao Eye this young lady was not someone to be trifled with, so he simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

Seeing this, Li Wei guessed what had happened. It must have been the fat man who came here, Nina who mistook him for a thief and stopped him, and the fat man's loose tongue led to the conflict.

"Alright Nina, this fat guy is my friend, I asked him to come," Li Wei said as he walked over.

Upon hearing Li Wei's voice, the fat man jumped up from the ground, rubbed his buttocks, and walked over.

"Boss, I..." The fat man wanted to say something, but seeing Li Wei wave his hand, he immediately stopped talking. From the moment Li Wei called the girl's name, the fat man knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get revenge for that kick.

"Is this sleazy fat guy your friend?" Nina shouted, pointing at the fat man.

Li Wei nodded and briefly introduced the fat man's identity before letting him follow him out of the city lord's mansion.

"So, did you sell everything?" Li Wei cut to the chase. He had a lot of points, but he needed more.

The fat man said excitedly, "Sold! Sold it all! Boss, you've got a lot of good stuff! You even have A-grade and B-grade Skill Book, and those equipment and armor are top-of-the-line. After this trip, my name, Fatty, is now famous throughout the Shadow Street market..."

Li Wei nodded, signaling the fat man not to get excited.

"How many points were sold?"

2.3 million

Li Wei gasped, thinking to himself that this fat guy was really capable. He had estimated that those items were worth at most a little over 1 million points, but he hadn't expected them to be worth so much.

The fat man traded his points to Li Wei for 2.3 million, not a penny less.

Li Wei looked at his Black Paper; the points on it, combined with what he already had, had brought him close to the 3 million mark. This amount was enough to buy the highest-level skills and bloodlines.

The fat man was indeed a natural businessman. After thinking for a moment, Li Wei took the fat man back to the city lord's mansion, called everyone to the hall, and then formally introduced the fat man to everyone.

Hearing about the fat man's business acumen, everyone understood why Li Wei had summoned them. They all took out their unwanted items and Skill Book and handed them to the fat man to dispose of. Now, the fat man was certainly in for a busy time.

Li Wei opened the passage to Shadow Street and stepped inside.

He wants to use 3 million points to buy some things.

Arriving at the Free Market, Li Wei found a spot, set up a stall, and put up a sign that read "Buying rare Skill Book and rare items at high prices." He then sat on the ground, waiting for customers to come to him.

While at the Mage's Tomb, Li Wei had already figured it out: he needed to improve his combat power as soon as possible, but this kind of improvement in realm could not be achieved overnight. He had already cultivated both martial arts and magic to their peak.

A martial arts master, possessing top-tier internal energy techniques such as the 'Sunflower Manual,' 'Nine Yin Manual,' and 'True Qi-Controlling Formula' for protection, and powerful moves like 'Cloud Piercing Palm,' 'Shockwave Fist,' and 'Upper Clear Sword Marrow' for defense. However, at this level, any A3-level reincarnator can contend with him.

He was a master of water magic and possessed the 'Mirror Image,' but even that couldn't put Li Wei at ease, since the Mirror Image's weaknesses were just as obvious as its strengths.

In the cultivation category, Li Wei has already cultivated three inner cores, but his cultivation level has stagnated. His true energy is still relatively abundant, and he possesses powerful attack spells such as 'Finger Thunder', 'Sword Control Technique', 'Myriad Sword Technique', and 'Blood Control Method', which can be considered his strongest attack methods. However, he can only deal with S1 level experts, and he is somewhat inadequate against S2 level experts.

Li Wei possesses several auxiliary special skills, including 'Web Spell', 'Summon Holy Beast', 'Eye of Perception', 'Stacking Technique', 'Shifting Forms and Changing Positions', and 'Card-Making Technique'. While each has its strengths and wide applications, their actual combat effectiveness is limited.

However, the special skills 'Ink Dragon's Protection' and the 'Devour' ability increase with one's combat power level, and currently, they can only be used to deal with enemies of the same level.

As for weapons and equipment, Li Wei had long since abandoned defensive armor because of his protective true qi, possessing only the 'Beast Soul' sword. This sword was incredibly heavy and indestructible, making it an extremely powerful weapon. Moreover, the Beast Soul could absorb the essence of the beasts and monsters it slew and then transform into the appearance of those monsters, making it very practical. Furthermore, the three demons, including the Blood Demon, within the sword were also indispensable combat forces for Li Wei.

This is basically all of Li Wei's wealth. It can be said that in this Shadow Street, Li Wei is invincible. No reincarnator can contend with Li Wei. Even the Great Wizard Taoist He are far inferior to Li Wei.

Even so, Li Wei still felt no sense of security.

Because some people can be killed with just the flick of a finger.

For example, according to Li Wei, there are quite a few strong individuals from other star regions with combat power above S3. Take Liu Yuchen, whom he had contacted a few times, for instance; his combat power is far more than S3.

Furthermore, Li Wei's greatest enemy is probably that Main God.

Li Wei knew very well that no matter what special skills or abilities he possessed, they were no match for the Main God; the 'Time Power' alone could instantly kill him.

Therefore, Li Wei needs to find a way to improve his strength. Even if his combat power cannot be increased in a short period of time, he must acquire some special abilities. This is because Li Wei heard that the current Main God, Mordor, obtained the 'Time Power' by chance.

To acquire this level of ability, Li Wei was willing to trade all his special skills.

Setting up a stall to buy rare and valuable Skill Book was one of the methods Li Wei came up with. Often, many special abilities are not recognized by others. Wasn't that how he obtained the 'Eye of Perception' in the first place?

Li Wei's sign was very eye-catching, and it quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers. Many people saw Li Wei's sign and tentatively took out one or two Skill Book, but Li Wei glanced at them and refused to buy them.

"Gentlemen, I am acquiring truly rare and unique Skill Book. Those who want to pass off inferior ones should not waste their time."

Therefore, Li Wei waited for a long time, but there were more people watching the spectacle than people selling Skill Book.

In one morning, Li Wei only acquired two books: the D-Rank "Bewitching Palm" and the C-Rank "Myriad Food Technique".

D-Rank 'Bewitching Palm', a martial arts technique, is divided into three levels. After learning it, one can mix bewitching smoke into the palm strikes, making it difficult for the enemy to defend against.

The C-Rank's Myriad Food Technique is a bit ridiculous. It's a support skill that allows you to eat inedible things like stones, glass, and steel. The seller claims that even in a desolate environment without food or water, you can still live quite comfortably with this ability.

Li Wei didn't like either of the Skill Book.

Originally, Li Wei didn't want these two books, but in order to make others think that he was genuinely interested in acquiring them, he spent 8,000 and 5,000 points respectively to buy them.

Such a price can be considered high. Immediately, once this door opened, the surrounding onlookers enthusiastically began promoting their Skill Book.

Li Wei looked through them one by one, but shook his head repeatedly before saying, "Gentlemen, I am acquiring truly rare and special Skill Book. Those who want to pass off inferior ones should not waste their time."

Everyone started watching the spectacle, and Li Wei, bored, closed his eyes to rest. But soon, he heard someone shouting that they were selling Skill Book.

"What kind of trash is this? Let me see it." Li Wei opened his eyes and looked at the reincarnator in front of him. The man was thin, dressed in a tight-fitting leather armor, wearing a black cloak, and had two daggers at his waist.

'Reincarnator No. 7980, Thief, Combat Strength B3.'

Li Wei thought to himself, these thieves are all skilled in Stealth, so they might actually have some good stuff.

"I have one here, do you want it?" As he spoke, the reincarnator took out a purple thread-bound booklet.

"This is called 'Spatial Cage,' C-Rank skill. After learning it, you can create a space that is completely controlled by your will. It's practically unique in Shadow Street. So, how many points are you offering?"

Li Wei perked up immediately upon hearing this, feeling that the name itself was the skill he was looking for. However, after examining it with his Eye of Perception, he was somewhat disappointed.

' Spatial Cage, C-Rank skill. It allows the creation of a space entirely under one's control, ten inches in diameter, lasting for three seconds...'

How big is ten inches?

It's only about the size of a human hand. What's the point of creating such a tiny space? Besides, this ridiculous space only lasts for 3 seconds, so you can't even put anything in it.

Li Wei was about to shake his head, but soon the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched.

He was once again glad he had bought the Eye of Perception, because this skill allowed him to see attributes that others couldn't.

All reincarnators can see the attributes listed above, but following these common attributes is a line of smaller text: 'Basic Spatial Skills, can only be learned after mastering basic spatial skills. Examples of basic spatial skills: 'Storage Ring Technique', 'Shifting Forms and Changing Positions'...'

The list below contained many 'basic spatial skills,' and one of them, in particular, was a name that Li Wei recognized very well: Shifting Forms and Changing Positions.

Shifting Forms and Changing Positions is actually a basic spatial skill?

This left Li Wei somewhat stunned, while the thief opposite him urged, "Hey, do you want it or not? 100,000 points. Take it if you want it, otherwise just say so, I have other things to do."
