Today, I'll Cover the Entire Bill

Su Mu immediately tapped the purchase slot for Golden Hextech Five Choose Three in the system and entered all 1,600 Gold Soul Coins.

The previously dim Five Choose Three interface lit up, showing that he had one chance to draw.

Su Mu rubbed his hands together and pressed his finger onto it.

"Ding! System notification: the Golden Hextech Five Choose Three gift pack has been opened."

"Every item included in the Golden Hextech Five Choose Three draw is guaranteed to be Golden-tier Hextech."

"First, Equivalent Exchange: You may exchange your current health for Gold Soul Coins. Current health: 5,360. You may obtain 5,360 Gold Soul Coins."

"Second, Studying Abroad: Gain one Martial Soul inheritance slot and awaken one random Martial Soul from your bloodline."

"Third, Gun in Hand, Follow Me: Immediately obtain two random basic items. Obtain one additional item after gaining a Soul Ring."

"Fourth, Delayed Returns: For your next ten battles, you may choose whether to use this ability. After using it, when your Soul Power falls below 50%, your damage dealt will increase by an additional 40%."

"Fifth, Employee Promotion: After use, randomly raise one employee by 30 levels. Employee level tiers are level 30, level 60, and level 90, with the maximum level being 99!"

Su Mu looked at the options below and felt somewhat disappointed.

Was Golden Hextech really this trash?

It was completely incomparable to Prismatic Hextech.

It seemed that every Prismatic Hextech ability was extremely powerful. Even the chance of randomly receiving a huge sum of gambling money was quite high.

But this one seemed to have no gambler's chance at all, only some ordinary attributes.

Still, he had already bought it. He couldn't exactly return it.

Equivalent Exchange was worth considering. Resources were scarce in the early stages, so perhaps he could convert his vitality into Gold Soul Coins through this one life.

Besides, he had chosen Hidden Hand from Prismatic Hextech before. It would randomly revive him after death, but using 5,000 Gold Soul Coins to trade for one Prismatic Hextech still seemed like a terrible deal. Eliminated.

As for the second option, Studying Abroad, the Golden-tier version only gave him one Martial Soul inheritance slot and no additional boosts. It did not look very strong, but he could reserve judgment.

The third option did not seem particularly impressive either. What were two randomly obtained basic items?

He could gain another one after obtaining a Soul Ring. Since he currently had one Soul Ring, that meant he could obtain eight more such basic items later on.

The fourth option was quite strong. It was a counterattack ability—after his Soul Power dropped below 50%, his damage would increase by an additional 40%. However, it could only be used ten times.

The fifth, Employee Promotion, was indeed extremely powerful. It could be called a must-pick skill.

After struggling over it for a while, Su Mu chose the second, fourth, and fifth options.

He eliminated the first option outright. It wasted his life.

The third option's basic items did not seem reliable, and they were not as good as the latter two.

The second was purely there to fill a slot. In any case, Martial Souls provided by the system would not create Soul Power conflicts.

Absorbing one more Soul Ring would let him raise his Soul Power by a few more levels. It might prove useful later.

"Host selection detected."

"Hextech draw reward one has been issued: Studying Abroad. You have randomly obtained one Martial Soul inheritance slot."

"Your Martial Soul has already awakened. A compatible inherited Martial Soul has been automatically matched for you."

"Congratulations, you have awakened an ordinary Martial Soul: Iron Bow."

"Your second Hextech reward has been issued: reward two, Delayed Returns."

As the rewards were issued, Su Mu could feel a pitch-black Iron Bow resting within his Sea of Spirit, bringing a trace of night, along with newly formed stars, to the spiritual world built from Blue Silver Grass.

The Book Martial Soul floated quietly in the center of that space. Ten pale golden cards slowly emerged beside it, circling around the Martial Soul.

Studying Abroad had awakened a long-range assault-type Martial Soul for him—an Iron Bow.

Meanwhile, Delayed Returns gave him ten cards that could be activated at any time to increase his combat ability.

Next came the most important part.

"Golden Hextech reward three has been issued. Randomly raising one employee by 30 levels."

As the data on the large screen kept flashing, Su Mu fixed his gaze on Cyrene.

If this card gave Cyrene 30 levels, she would directly reach the maximum level of 99 and become an Ultimate Douluo.

At that point, he would truly be able to walk sideways across the continent.

As far as he knew, aside from Mu En, the other two Ultimate Douluo on the continent were Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

But the Hextech system did not grant his wish. The reward landed on Elysia.

Her level immediately rose from 60 to 90.

Su Mu let out a long breath.

Thankfully, it had not landed on Remiel. If he had been raised from level 30 to level 60, this Golden Hextech would have been a huge loss.

Now that I have two Titled Douluo, let's see who dares mess with me!

Su Mu chuckled as he packed up his things and hurried toward Food Street to begin the day's business.

But before he could even set up his stall or summon his employees, a group of soldiers surrounded the area, then slowly opened up a path.

"Your name is Li Feiyu, and you live in Wutan City. Little boss, you haven't been very honest."

Su Mu looked at the girl approaching from the far end of the long path. She wore light armor, her brownish-yellow hair tucked behind her ears. Her fair skin and the faint scar on her neck pulled Su Mu's thoughts back to a week ago.

Princess Vina!

Su Mu stared at her and gently exhaled. He had thought someone had framed him and come to inspect his food safety certificate.

Princess Vina, meanwhile, sat down at Su Mu's stall as if nothing was wrong and said, "Why did you lie to me back then?"

"Did you think I would kill you afterward just because you touched my body?"

Princess Vina smiled as she played with the colorful little chick on the table.

Su Mu, however, stared at the wound on her neck. It had healed well—and quickly.

In just one week, the wound that had once been deep enough to expose bone had healed completely. There was not even the slightest sign of damage left behind.

"So it was Your Highness the Princess."

Su Mu let out a long breath. He had thought he was in some kind of trouble, but it turned out to be Princess Vina from that day.

Back then, though, he had been chasing after the one million Gold Soul Coins, so he had not interacted much with the princess.

He had not expected her to find him so quickly.

"It seems the Heavenly Soul Royal Guards aren't useless after all. At the very least, they're quite good at finding people."

Su Mu joked as he heated the oil in the fryer.

Princess Vina also curiously examined Su Mu's stall.

"Wallace Fried Chicken? So you really are a businessman. I thought you worked at some medical clinic."

"When I received the information saying you had set up a stall here, I could hardly believe it."

Princess Vina leaned closer, looking at the boiling oil and the bread dough wrapped in cloth beside it. She inhaled in disbelief.

A faintly sweet bread fragrance entered her nose.

Su Mu did not stop what he was doing. He coated one secret-recipe hand-pulled chicken after another with special marinade, placed them into the oven beside him, and then used Soul Power to heat it.

"It smells delicious. Make one for me. I want to try it."

Princess Vina said with a smile.

Su Mu looked at the soldiers surrounding them and said:

"Your Highness, with all these soldiers gathered around my stall, who would dare come here to buy food?"

"I saved you back then. Why are you repaying kindness with hostility now? How about you have your soldiers withdraw first?"

"Or did they all wake up early without eating anything and want to eat here?"
