#265 - Chapter 265: Leap-forward Extraction of Energy

After allocating his free attribute points, Shen Xingyan looked at his wallet, and seeing the 205 gold coins displayed, a hint of 'greed' appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, he didn't let the money go to waste and directly spent 5 gold coins to purchase a mask from the Star Origin Shop that could change his overall appearance:

Item: Shapeshifting Mask

Rank: Common

Value: 5 Gold Coins

Attributes: Allows the wearer to change their appearance and voice according to their wishes. Duration: 1 hour. Unlimited uses.

Recorded Model: None

Shen Xingyan looked at the attribute description, nodded slightly, and directly equipped it.

Then, with a thought, he changed his appearance to resemble the old man he had seen when he first entered the Star Origin World, and used the mask's recording model function to record this image.

This way, the next time he changes, he can do it with one click.

After completing these settings, he took out the general store key and teleported over, intending to retrieve all 216 gold coins he had earned from selling exotic beasts.

However, when he teleported over, he helplessly discovered that he had once again been squeezed to the outermost layer of the crowd, even further away from his general store than last time.

Seeing the dense crowd in front of him, Shen Xingyan smiled wryly in his heart:

"The allure of the Longevity Fruit is really too great. After so long, there are still so many people here!

Although the more people there are, the more beneficial it is for me to sell goods, it's too much of a waste of time for everyone to squeeze here. Wouldn't it be better to spend this time on training or leveling up?

Moreover, there are many combat professionals among them. It's a waste not to utilize such a good profession. I really don't know what they're all squeezing here for!"

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan shook his head slightly. As a 'training fanatic,' he couldn't understand their actions.

Then, he stopped thinking about it. Since he didn't have anything to sell now, he was preparing to close the shop directly so he could go inside, get the money, and leave. But at this moment, he heard the discussions of the people around him.

"The family head told us to wait for that senior here. Can we really wait for him when we're so far away? Moreover, there's only one senior, and there are so many people here. The probability is too small. We're wasting our time for nothing!"

"What can we do? We have to follow the family head's orders. If we can meet that old senior and establish a connection, the family can take off!

You have to know, that's the Longevity Fruit! Letting the seniors in the family live a few more years will give the family more time to accumulate strength. Think about it, over time, our family will eventually grow to a terrifying level.

Therefore, for this possibility, no amount of effort is a waste! Especially since we're just waiting here!"

Everyone present knew this not-so-secret secret, and it was their common goal!

After hearing these voices around him, Shen Xingyan knew why so many people were squeezing here even though they hadn't seen the 'Longevity Fruit.' It turned out they were all trying to bet on him!

"I was wondering how the attributes of a Longevity Fruit could attract such an exaggerated crowd. It turns out their target is me, who can grow the Longevity Fruit!

But this is understandable. As long as they're a little smart, they can guess that there can't be only one Longevity Fruit! Even for a possibility, they won't give up! This is the allure of lifespan!"

After understanding the situation, Shen Xingyan shook his head helplessly and became even more determined to keep a low profile.

Then, with a thought, he directly closed his general store. After teleporting into the store, he first put the 216 gold coins in the counter into his wallet.

Knowing the purpose of the people outside, he didn't reopen the store. Instead, he returned directly to his profession space.

The people outside the general store saw the store suddenly close and, realizing that the old senior might have arrived, immediately started shouting:

"Old Senior, we are the Geneva family from Base 2. We hope to discuss the 'Longevity Fruit' with you. Rest assured, we will agree to all the conditions you propose without the slightest hesitation! Please come out and meet us, Senior!"

"We are the Yamaguchi family too!"

"We are the Smecta family too..."

The shouts echoed outside the general store, but all that responded to them was a silent, dilapidated wooden wall. There was no sound from the old senior.

Having received no response, they were helpless. They couldn't possibly break down the door. After all, although this shop looked very dilapidated, giving people the feeling that it would break if shaken hard,

under the rules of the Star Origin World, the buildings in the protected area would not be damaged in any way. They had no way to break down the door.

Moreover, they were negotiating on a friendly basis. If they really did such a thing, there would be no need to talk!

However, after a long time, the closed door seemed to express Shen Xingyan's attitude. These people reported the situation to their superiors one after another. After waiting for a while, they gradually dispersed, with only a small number of people still waiting here, and also setting up stalls.

Due to the existence of the 'Longevity Fruit,' there were more stalls on the whole street, and its momentum had a tendency to develop towards the main street.

At this time, Shen Xingyan, who had already returned to his profession space, didn't care about the affairs of the general store. He directly spent 410 of his newly increased 416 gold coins to extract 41 points of Origin Energy limit into the real world.

As a large amount of Origin Energy was extracted, Shen Xingyan clearly felt the feeling of regaining the lost Origin Energy, and his heart was filled with contentment:

"With these 41 points of Origin Energy, my perception skills will be greatly improved again. The improvement speed of the 'Power of Balance' that comes with it will also increase significantly. It's not impossible to get +10 to all attributes in a day in the future!"

Thinking this way, Shen Xingyan happily teleported to the ranch and purchased 4 calves from the Star Origin Shop, placing them in the ranch.

Then, he returned to the farmland again. Looking at the farmland in front of him, he began to think about how to carry out the next wool-gathering plan:

"Before, I used the planting time of the farmland to determine the time to use the skills, in order to achieve the purpose of wool-gathering, but now the situation has changed. Should I focus on the use of skills now?"
