(Unlocked items previously drawn)
"Damn it, everything is so expensive, especially the Excalibur! It's outrageous!" Fu Lin bit his finger, looking at the items he had previously drawn, shocked at how costly they all were.
Are you sure it's not just because you're too poor?
------------------------
"The more I think about it, the more I feel I've been ripped off! If I'd known Excalibur was so expensive, I wouldn't have wasted it on something as trivial as a Herrscher of Dominance, damn it," Fu Lin grumbled. Remembering his extravagant decision, he felt a pang of regret so sharp it took his breath away. He even wanted to travel back in time and slap himself.
Regret! Absolute regret!
"There, there. As the saying goes in Shenzhou, 'You have to give up something to gain something.' Just do a few more live streams, and you'll earn enough," the Herrscher of Sentience consoled, patting Fu Lin's head. 'Hah, now it's clear who's the child here, isn't it?'
"Damn it. If I can't afford Excalibur, then I'll just buy what I can."

[PS: The Treasure Bag is now at maximum level.]
"...I wanted to try strengthening more items, but I'm out of points. What a shame." Fu Lin sighed, shaking his head in disappointment as he read the message.
"This junk is what you call an Enhancement Stone?" The Herrscher of Sentience glanced at the stone in Fu Lin's hand with disdain.
"...It's definitely a system item, alright. It's so ordinary it's almost mystical."
Fu Lin looked at the two stones in his hand. They were as plain as could be, so much so that if he dropped them on the ground, no one would even notice.
"Hmm... how unimpressive! Ha... ha..." he chuckled awkwardly.
[Basic Enhancement Stone Usage Guide: Smash the stone forcefully against the item you wish to enhance.]
Fu Lin read the system's instructions, placed the broken Time-Stop Pocket Watch on the table, and picked up one of the enhancement stones. He smashed it hard against the watch, and in an instant, a golden light enveloped the watch.
[Slightly Damaged Time-Stop Pocket Watch: After enhancement, it can now stop time for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]
Fu Lin inspected the watch. The once shattered clock face had been restored, though a few cracks were still visible. Even so, it was a vast improvement from before.
"A five-second time-stop was already annoying enough, but now ten seconds? This is basically invincible!" The Herrscher of Sentience couldn't believe it.
"A ten-second time-stop? Even if Kevin himself showed up, he wouldn't be able to withstand that," Fu Lin said in amazement, carefully stowing away the watch. This thing was far too valuable.
"What are you going to enhance with the other stone?" The Herrscher of Sentience snatched the second enhancement stone, eager to use it after seeing its benefits.
Fu Lin looked over his current items and, after a moment of thought, said, "Let's enhance the live stream system. That way, we might earn more points."
"But isn't the live stream system already integrated with the main system? How do you even enhance it?" The Herrscher of Sentience scratched her head, puzzled. How could an enhancement stone possibly work on a virtual screen?
"Let's try it and see." With that, Fu Lin opened the system screen and signaled for her to go ahead and smash it.
However, the enhancement stone passed right through the screen and slammed into the ground with a loud thud, causing the entire building to shake.
From the next room came panicked shouts, "Earthquake? Is it an earthquake?!"
Fu Lin swallowed hard as he looked at the Herrscher of Sentience. Did she really need to smash it with that much force?
"Forgot to control my strength," said Fu Shi, looking a bit embarrassed.
"...Be more careful next time," Fu Lin said, feeling a bit disoriented. He then picked up the enhancement stone embedded in the floor and tossed it back to Fu Shi.
"It didn't even break the floor? The quality of this flooring is amazing," Fu Lin remarked, shocked as he looked at the small dent in the ground. Then, recalling the dent he made with his own head last night, he didn't know what to say...
So, my head is actually as tough as this floor?
"Ahem! Fu Lin, I told you, enhancing the live stream room is impossible. The stone just passed right through," Fu Shi said, tossing the stone in her hand.
"If it can't hit it from here... then let's go inside the live stream room and try there." Fu Lin ruffled Fu Shi's hair and stepped into the live stream room, motioning for her to give it another shot.
"Shall I throw it?" Fu Shi asked, looking at Fu Lin.
"Go for it," Fu Lin nodded, but instinctively took a step back.
"Here we go!" Fu Shi hurled the enhancement stone forcefully at the ground. The entire live stream room was instantly engulfed in golden light, and new information popped up on the system screen.
[Magical Q&A Live Stream Room: After enhancement, an additional question has been added to the Q&A session, with a cooldown of three days.]
"Not bad," Fu Lin nodded in satisfaction. This enhancement was definitely worth it.
After leaving the live stream room, Fu Lin put his arm around Fu Shi's shoulder and said cheerfully, "Alright, let's go grab something to eat."
"If there's food involved, how could you not bring me along?" Higokumaru flew out from the Stigmata Space, with Yae Sakura following closely behind.
"I never said I wouldn't bring you," Fu Lin replied, grabbing Higokumaru's tail and giving it a good rub.
He was promptly bitten in return.
"Bad guy!" Higokumaru hugged her tail, distressed as she looked at the fur that had fallen to the ground.
"One order of fried tofu," Fu Lin held up a finger.
"I won't forgive you just for a serving of fried tofu," Higokumaru said, wiping the drool from her mouth.
"...Unlimited fried tofu," Fu Lin said, twitching at the sight of Higokumaru's hopeful gaze.
"Boss! Whatever you need!" Higokumaru's attitude did a complete 180. She even placed her tail in Fu Lin's hand.
"Boss, my ears are nice to touch too," Higokumaru sat obediently in Fu Lin's palm.
Yae Sakura watched this scene unfold, speechless at Higokumaru's gluttonous behavior.
"Let's go," Fu Shi said disdainfully, casting a glance at Higokumaru before happily heading out the door.
"Boss, three bowls of Ichiraku Ramen and a serving of fried tofu," Fu Lin called out as he entered the ramen shop.
"Please wait a moment." The owner got to work right away, and soon brought three steaming bowls of ramen to the table where Fu Lin and the others were seated.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly grew tense.
"You actually dare to come back! Last time, you didn't pay for the ramen," the shop owner said, rolling up his sleeves as he glared at Fu Lin and his group.
"Calm down, calm down. Last time was a misunderstanding. We're here specifically to pay today," Fu Lin explained awkwardly.
"Fine. I've got time. Just make sure you don't try running off again," the owner grumbled as he turned back to the kitchen to fetch the fried tofu.
"Let's eat quickly. This ramen is the best I've ever tasted," Fu Lin said, snapping apart his chopsticks.
"Mm." Yae Sakura looked at the ramen in front of her, and the aroma alone made her appetite surge. She picked up her chopsticks and began eating delicately.
"Fried tofu~ My beloved fried tofu~ Delicious fried tofu~" Higokumaru grabbed a piece of fried tofu and popped it into her mouth, her face filled with bliss.
While Fu Lin wasn't paying attention, Fu Shi sneaked a piece of meat from his bowl and happily stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hey, why are you stealing my meat? I'm going to eat yours now." Fu Lin, noticing a missing slice of meat, took a piece from Fu Shi's bowl, but just as he was about to eat it, Fu Shi snatched it up and swallowed it in one bite.
"Hmm hmm hmm~" Fu Shi smirked at Fu Lin, chewing triumphantly.
"..." Fu Lin looked at his empty chopsticks and Fu Shi's smug expression, unable to hold back any longer.
