Chapter 42 - 42: Spending Money to Get Stronger!Shen An stared at the 300,000 fame points required to summon a mysterious figure. He felt a little numb; it was just too much. Looking at his remaining 30,000 fame points, he thought for a moment before deciding to continue the lottery. As the saying goes, "you have to make yourself strong first," so Shen An decided that his soul power level was still too low. He needed to boost it with some experience packs. Once his strength was greater, earning fame points would become easier. Soon, Shen An spent all his remaining fame points, and he couldn't help but feel elated from the excitement of the lottery. For every ten draws, there would be a small soul power experience pack, and around fifteen draws would yield a special item. Of course, the strength of special items varied, but they were mostly items from the "Tom and Jerry" world and from the Earth. This was a pattern Shen An had noticed. This time, his luck was better than usual. In the last 30 draws, he got three items: A Brick That Hit Spike: A light tap on the enemy's head will cause them to be stunned for 30 seconds. It can be used three times. Teffy's Diaper: You can put anything inside, as it's extremely roomy. Tom's Magic Potion: Drink it, and you may either grow stronger or shrink. The effect lasts for half an hour. Shen An looked at these three items and fell into thought. How should he put it? It was a good haul. The brick was self-explanatory; Tom had used it to hit Spike, and a gentle tap could cause forced dizziness—truly a powerful item. Teffy's diaper was similar to a storage-type soul guide, which was convenient since Shen An had been worried about not having enough storage space in the future. These summoned items could also be stored in the summoning space, almost like an interdimensional item, though Shen An wasn't sure how much it could hold. Shen An stared at the small white diaper, widening his eyes to peer inside, but saw nothing. He then went to the storage room to try putting some tea leaves inside. The storage space in his mind allowed him to access items at will, but the diaper was different. He had to physically put things inside, and when taking things out, he had to feel around. Strangely enough, even though the diaper was smaller than Shen An's hand, his hand still fit inside. The image was oddly beautiful, and it carried a slight sense of awkwardness. Shen An mused, "I'll have to slowly explore how much space this diaper really has. But I can't use it in public, or my reputation will be ruined." As for Tom's magic potion, Shen An fell silent as he gazed at it. With a 50/50 chance of either making him stronger or smaller, drinking it was practically gambling with his life. Forget it. I'll let Tom drink it. He made it, he should drink it, since he's immortal anyway. Next door, Tom was lying on his little bed, shivering for no apparent reason. He looked around, puzzled. "The doors and windows are all closed. Is someone trying to harm me?" Shen An continued to spend his fame points in the lottery, winning more soul power experience packs and special items. Currently, his soul power was at level 23. With his Nine-Leaf Sword Grass being an ultimate martial soul, it far surpassed others in attributes, soul power purity, and capacity. That's why Shen An had been able to defeat Dai Mubai and kill Zhang Hu without tiring out. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even with a 5,000-year soul ring, the power it granted him only raised his soul power by two levels. Shen An, seeing five small soul power experience packs in his panel, immediately used them without hesitation. "Shing! Shing! Shing!" His soul power level skyrocketed from 24 to 27 in an instant. "This is so damn satisfying!" This kind of "pay-to-win" experience, where he became stronger with just one click, was incredibly addictive. Shen An felt his soul power surging inside him and couldn't help but marvel. But after the excitement, he couldn't help but feel a headache. Fame points were always in short supply. It took five experience packs just to level up four times, and the amount of experience needed for future levels would only increase. Moreover, once he reached level 30, he would need to get a soul ring. Having tasted the sweetness of the system's soul rings, Shen An was unlikely to hunt soul beasts for them. In fact, Shen An was being a bit ungrateful. After all, the main character, Tang San, took six years to reach level 29 in the original story. But Shen An, having only been in Douluo Continent for a month, was already on the verge of surpassing that in the near future. "I wonder if this money-hungry system will increase the price of soul rings," Shen An thought, pondering the system's nature. Well, he would deal with that later. Since he had a system, what else could he want? It was all about taking it slow. Shen An was about to pack up and wash up before heading to bed when a knock on the door and some intermittent sobbing interrupted him. "Who's knocking at this hour?" Impatient, Shen An went downstairs, opened the door, and found a crying girl standing there. "Ning Rongrong, what are you doing here? Why are you crying so badly?" Shen An asked in confusion. Ning Rongrong began crying even louder when she heard him. "Wuu wuu wuu..." "The people from Shrek Academy are bullying me. They isolated me, and Dai Mubai even hit me," Ning Rongrong said, pouting and sniffling. Shen An thought, "They're bullying you, and you come to me? We're not even that close. I just wanted to sleep." Shen An thought for a moment and said, "Well, they're so bad for bullying you. That's awful. How about you stay at a hotel for the night? You can calm down on your own." Ning Rongrong initially thought Shen An was siding with her, but by the end of his sentence, she realized he was trying to get rid of her. The little affection she had for him instantly disappeared. Ning Rongrong wailed louder. "I want to find Tom. Don't mind me. You're bullying me too." Shen An sighed. This was his house, and she wanted him to stay out of it? Tom had already heard the noise and rushed downstairs. Seeing Ning Rongrong crying, Tom took out a handkerchief from behind his back and offered it to her. Everyone knew that Tom was a warm-hearted cat. How could he just watch the girl who had given him snacks cry? He gently patted Ning Rongrong's back to comfort her. Ning Rongrong took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and looked at Shen An with teary eyes. "You're worse than a cat." "Tom, can I stay with you tonight?" Ning Rongrong didn't ask Shen An. Instead, she directly asked Tom. She had realized Tom wasn't just any ordinary cat, so rather than asking a clueless guy like Shen An, she'd better ask a warm-hearted cat. Tom hesitated, looking at Shen An. To Tom, Shen An was the master, but if Shen An didn't agree, Tom would secretly let Ning Rongrong in. After all, Tom was a rebellious cat. Shen An saw that Tom was soft-hearted and sighed. This silly cat tried to steal my food earlier, and now it wants to let her stay? "Fine, come in. I have a room. You can clean it up and stay there."
