Unlock New Features: One-Click Enhancement!

A sharp glint flashed through Su Xiaobai’s eyes.

Just now, when he heard from the system that someone was invading, he felt both shocked and furious.

He had only just entered the Otherworld, and already someone was making a move against Su Ling’er!

Fortunately, the invaders weren’t strong. In less than a minute, the system notified him that all intruders had been eliminated and that the spoils of war had been credited to his account… Only then did Su Xiaobai breathe a little easier.

“It seems that Base No. 15 is not safe… Once I finish exploring the ‘Otherworld City’ they mentioned, I’ll head back immediately!”

The S-rank otherworld beasts that had attacked earlier were slain before Su Xiaobai even had a chance to make a move—his shadows had already cut them down like slicing melons.

And this time, unlike before, the otherworld beasts’ corpses did not dissolve and regenerate… meaning Su Xiaobai gained a massive haul of otherworld beast materials.

He had to admit, otherworld beasts were treasures from head to toe. More importantly, they were gigantic!

Slaughtering even a single one yielded an astonishing fortune.

After a quick estimate, Su Xiaobai realized that just the materials from these few S-rank otherworld beasts he casually killed were worth at least 20 billion!

If I keep hunting more, I’ll be filthy rich in no time!

This battle also made him famous throughout the stronghold.

Elite Martial Commanders could kill S-rank beasts with precision—after all, there was a gap in power between ranks. However, seeing the shadows do it so effortlessly was a first!

And most shocking of all, these black-cloaked elite warriors were all under Su Xiaobai’s command!

One by one, people came forward to establish connections with him.

During these conversations, Su Xiaobai learned something—aside from otherworld tribes, they had also discovered an “Otherworld City”!

However, it was quite far away—roughly twenty thousand miles from the stronghold.

With his Thousand Miles to the West and the support of his spiritual telekinesis, covering that distance at full speed would take him only an hour.

But according to the elite Martial Commander who found it, even from a great distance, he could sense multiple powerful presences, so strong that he didn’t dare approach…

There was a possibility that Demi-God Martial Commanders resided within the Otherworld City!

To an elite Martial Commander, a Demi-God Martial Commander was essentially no different from a Martial God—either could kill him with a single finger.

But to Su Xiaobai, was a Demi-God Martial Commander even a problem?

“I hope this Otherworld City doesn’t disappoint me… If I can find a Great Transcendent cultivation technique, this trip will be well worth it!”

Su Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed.

“System, transfer my Treasure-Hunting Goblins and Mining Goblins to the Otherworld and dispatch them automatically!”

“Automatic dispatch complete!”

Immediately, Su Xiaobai moved his goblins into the Otherworld to start collecting resources for him…

As for auto-hunting, he didn’t even need to say anything—the system had already sent them out to hunt Demi-God-level otherworld beasts!

“Let’s go! Time to see what this Otherworld City looks like!”

…

Meanwhile, on the other side…

After the Wu family was completely slaughtered by the shadows, Dongfang Rou and Elder Feng finally arrived with a large group of Dongfang family members.

From the new governor, they learned everything that had just happened.

Once again, they were left in shock.

A Demi-God Martial Commander had been mercilessly slain by Su Xiaobai’s subordinates…

Even the intervention of a Martial God had been useless!

Just days ago, Su Xiaobai had nowhere near this level of power!

Yet in just a few days… his strength had grown at an absolutely terrifying rate!

However, this also gave rise to a new concern…

Su Xiaobai’s subordinates had shown no regard for the Wu family’s Martial God. Killing Wu Canglang and incinerating the Wu family’s Martial Commanders—this would definitely provoke the wrath of the Wu family’s Martial God!

It wouldn’t be long before he came knocking on Su Xiaobai’s door, demanding justice.

“I hope he can withstand it this time…”

Dongfang Rou bit her lip.

Su Xiaobai’s rapid growth was shocking, but no matter how fast he progressed, the gap between a Martial Commander and a Martial God remained insurmountable.

If things got out of hand, their only option would be to flee again—to somewhere the Wu family’s Martial God couldn’t find them!

…

“Damn!”

“These invaders were filthy rich!”

“100 billion… 200 billion… 300 billion… Holy crap, I’ve struck gold!”

Soaring through the sky at ten times the speed of sound, Su Xiaobai was on his way to the Otherworld City.

On the way, he opened his Qiankun Space and examined the spoils collected from Wu Canglang and his men.

Just a quick glance at the storage rings made Su Xiaobai’s eyes light up with excitement.

These invaders are stupidly rich!

Mountains of spirit coins.

A dazzling array of rare treasures, precious metals, and rare herbs.

All kinds of spiritual weapons, cultivation techniques, and elixirs—it’s an absolute treasure trove!

There were even some unfamiliar artifacts, such as miniature formation scrolls.

These scrolls could be unfurled and activated instantly, though they required preparation time to deploy…

Clearly, these were meant for navigating the Otherworld.

Without hesitation, Su Xiaobai swept everything into his Qiankun Space!

After tallying his spoils—excluding all the rare treasures, spiritual weapons, and elixirs—just his spirit coin balance alone had skyrocketed to a staggering 9.725 trillion!

That meant the invaders had just delivered 9.7 trillion in cash, plus a mountain of invaluable treasures!

“Hahahaha!”

Su Xiaobai was grinning ear to ear.

If it weren’t for concerns about Su Ling’er’s safety, he’d welcome these invaders every day—they were basically delivering wealth straight to his doorstep!

“System, I want to upgrade!”

With money in hand, Su Xiaobai’s first priority was, of course, upgrading his system functions.

“Upgrade Auto-Hunting to level 13!”

Auto-Hunting was his greatest economic engine and his strongest combat force, so it had to be upgraded first.

Even with 9.7 trillion in cash, he only dared to level it up once—any further and he’d burn through everything!

“Deducting 2.125764 trillion, Auto-Hunting upgraded to level 13! Shadow count increased to 13!”

Damn… 2.1 trillion per level.

Just hearing that price tag made Su Xiaobai’s heart ache.

“One Click Cultivation and One Click Practice already have high multipliers, so there’s no rush to upgrade them further… I should unlock new features first!”

To unlock a new system function, all existing features had to be upgraded to level 8.

The only ones still below that threshold were: One Click Collection (Level 7), One Click Forging (Level 7), One Click Auto-Mining (Level 5)

“Deduct 262.144 billion, One Click Collection upgraded to level 8! Treasure-Hunting Goblins increased to 8!”

“Deduct 524.288 billion, One Click Forging upgraded to level 8! Maximum forging level increased to [Top-Tier Transcendent Spiritual Weapons]!”

“Deduct 200 billion, One Click Auto-Mining upgraded to level 6! Mining Goblins increased to 6!”

“Deduct 1 trillion, One Click Auto-Mining upgraded to level 7! Mining Goblins increased to 7!”

“Deduct 5 trillion, One Click Auto-Mining upgraded to level 8! Mining Goblins increased to 8!”

“Ding! Congratulations, Host! All system functions have reached level 8! A new function has been unlocked—[One-Click Enhancement Space]!”
