Ning Rongrong naturally did not believe him, but since things had come this far, she could only ask:
"Then what are the prices for levels one through ten?"
Seeing this, Lin Yan immediately gave her the full price list:
"Level-one package, 500 Gold Soul Coins.
Level two, 1,200 Gold Soul Coins.
Level three, 3,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Level-four package, 8,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Level-five package, 20,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Level-six package, 50,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Level-seven package, 120,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Level-eight package, 300,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Level-nine package, 700,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Level-ten package, one million Gold Soul Coins.
The reason the options below level five are so cheap is that any normal Soul Master could randomly awaken with levels one through five, so they offer no value for money.
Above level five is where the core technology comes in."
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speak, Lin Yan immediately cut in again:
"A friendly reminder: these packages only offer a chance, not a one-hundred-percent guarantee."
"What do you mean?
There's a catch to this, too?"
"It's not a catch. Nothing has a one-hundred-percent probability."
"What do you mean?
Explain it more clearly."
"For example, if you want to reliably awaken with level-nine innate Soul Power, you can only buy the level-ten package. That guarantees a minimum of level-nine innate Soul Power, but there's a chance of awakening with level-ten Soul Power, roughly thirty percent.
So if you want a one-hundred-percent chance of awakening innate full Soul Power, without any deviations or accidents, you need to stack three level-ten packages. Stacking three maxes out the probability."
"So, to reliably have a descendant with the aptitude for innate full Soul Power, it takes at least three million Gold Soul Coins."
Three million...
All the Soul Masters outside fell speechless in unison upon hearing that price.
That was simply an astronomical price!
In ordinary people's eyes, three million was already enough to buy a small city.
Many people could not reach that terrifying sum even with a lifetime's effort, or even the accumulated wealth of several generations.
But upon hearing that price, Ning Rongrong's pupils contracted slightly, towering waves rose in her heart, and she began muttering to herself:
"Just three million to guarantee awakening innate full Soul Power. This is simply unbelievable..."
Her innate Soul Power was level nine. This was the greatest regret of her life.
As the legitimate daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Fengzhi's most beloved daughter, she had received all kinds of top-tier resources from her father since birth. Countless heavenly treasures and rare medicinal herbs had been piled upon her, and the Gold Soul Coins invested over the years had long since far exceeded several million.
Yet when she awakened at six, her innate Soul Power had only been level nine.
Everyone told her that support-type Martial Souls could only have level-nine innate Soul Power. That was already the limit, with no possibility of reaching any higher.
Yet Lin Yan, standing before her, told her that a mere three million Gold Soul Coins could reliably produce a peerless genius with innate full Soul Power.
After a brief daze, Ning Rongrong made her decision on the spot:
"Give me three level-ten packages. Max it out.
I want a descendant with innate full Soul Power."
However, only after the words left her mouth did she frown slightly, a hint of hesitation appearing:
"It's just that I left in a hurry today and didn't bring that much cash."
After hearing this, Lin Yan remained composed, as though he had expected it:
"That's fine.
Our shop offers services including credit purchases, running tabs, loans, and installments.
From the moment you stepped into this little shop, we automatically completed a comprehensive assessment of your identity, sect, and assets."
Lin Yan raised his eyes, delivering astonishing words one by one:
"Ning Rongrong, your exclusive spending limit at our shop is thirty million Gold Soul Coins!"
Boom!
Those words exploded across the entire Commercial Street like a thunderclap.
The crowd outside erupted into an uproar.
"Everyone's gone completely crazy. Thirty million Gold Soul Coins?
Did I hear that right?"
"It's thirty million Gold Soul Coins, not copper coins!
Even thirty million copper coins would be a fortune an ordinary person couldn't earn in ten lifetimes!"
"And that's just a little girl's personal credit limit? Just what sort of background does this young lady have?"
Countless people felt their scalps tingle and burned with envy.
They had already thought it outrageous that Ning Rongrong was willing to spend three million to custom-order innate full Soul Power-although no one could say whether it was worth it.
Because innate full Soul Power was a talent countless people dreamed of, no one thought it was unworthy of the price. But three million was simply too expensive for anyone to afford, making them feel it was not worth it after all.
Yet now Ning Rongrong had casually spent three million and actually had a credit limit of thirty million.
Everyone was dazed now, inexplicably feeling that those three million did not seem like all that much anymore.
An outrageous price, an outrageous credit limit, an outrageous shop, outrageous merchandise-everyone's composure crumbled at that moment. They had never witnessed anything that overturned their understanding so completely.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong gave Lin Yan a long, penetrating look, her wariness growing stronger.
This shop was definitely not simple, and Lin Yan was no ordinary swindler.
That thirty-million credit limit was probably an estimate of part of the inheritance she could receive.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had vast holdings worth hundreds of millions, her father was also a womanizer.
Although she was her father's favorite and might inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future, inheriting the sect did not mean inheriting the family's assets.
She had many older brothers, so when she heard Lin Yan give her a credit limit of thirty million, she even felt fortunate that her father was actually willing to leave her so much.
But without a doubt, she was certain that Lin Yan truly knew her family's circumstances inside out.
If that was the case, things had become interesting.
If it was fake, she would expose him on the spot; if it was real, this might be an enormous opportunity.
"Are you certain you want to order three level-ten packages to lock in innate full Soul Power at level ten?"
"Yes. Naturally, my child must have the best."
"Very good."
After receiving Ning Rongrong's definite answer, Lin Yan immediately operated the system interface excitedly, selecting three level-ten packages in the Gene Configuration Panel and deducting three million Gold Soul Coins from her credit limit in one go.
For the first transaction, the system would foot the entire bill, temporarily providing an additional allowance.
The money earned from this transaction would serve as Lin Yan's subsequent starting capital for lending to later customers.
The system would provide no further support, so this first sale was crucial. Fortunately, his customer was a wealthy woman like Ning Rongrong.
He had not known who she was before, but after the system provided her information, he understood and felt reassured.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was wealthy enough to rival a nation. He absolutely had to swindle tens of millions out of her today.
With the system around, he had no fear of anyone defaulting anyway.
The system's Proxy Service was formidable. More importantly, he also wanted to experience the joy of being invincible. He could hardly wait for someone to owe him money.
After Lin Yan made the deduction, the next instant, an incomparably brilliant pillar of golden light descended from the sky, pouring precisely into the white egg in the Breeding Medium.
With a sizzling sound, golden light flooded madly into the egg, modifying the embryo's genes.
The originally plain white shell changed color and transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its pure white faded completely, quickly turning blue, then shifting from blue to dark purple, which rapidly spread over the entire egg. Finally, it became a purple soul egg with a lustrous sheen, flowing violet light, and a noble texture.
The egg floated gently, exuding a faint aura that made anyone feel it was extraordinary with just one glance.
Having witnessed this unremarkable egg transform into its current wondrous appearance with their own eyes, the crowd outside the shop let out another wave of exclamations.
Ning Rongrong stared intently at the purple egg, then asked:
"That's it?
