------------------------------
Night Shadow got to know that whatever creation he created if the creation killed then he would get the XP. So, Night Shadow created 200 [Robo-Hound] and released 50 of them in the forest just before he started leaving the forest. Whenever the Robo-hounds killed, the XP would come to Night Shadow. It was an easy way to farm XP. He had created the Robo-hounds before the war took place.
Night Shadow left the thought and started looking at the pages of the book. He saw many minerals such as Ice jade, Moonlight Stone, Black Abyss Gem, etc. While Night Shadow kept looking, Shan Weng and the guard were talking with each other.
2 minutes later, they looked at Night Shadow and asked, "Hey, are you there?"
Suddenly, Night Shadow focused on them and asked, "Oh right, close your eyes"
Shan Weng and the guard became confused but Night Shadow repeated coldly, "Just shut it"
The two just closed their eyes and waited.
Night Shadow smiled evilly and internally, told the system, 'Collect all the minerals present here, system'
[Yes, host]
Instantly, the gems all flew towards Night Shadow and disappeared into his storage. Shan Weng felt something was amiss and opened his eyes. He looked at the room with anger and confusion. All the minerals from the room had disappeared. Shan Weng looked at Night Shadow.
"What the hell is going on, sir?!!"
The guard also opened his eyes and looked at the room with widened eyes. It had only been a few seconds when the bright, shiny room turned into a dark, dull room.
Night Shadow looked at Shan Weng with a cold look and said, "This is the compensation for me taking you as the hostage"
Shan Weng became even more enraged. He had done everything Night Shadow said. Shan Weng kept telling himself that he would be alright but what Night Shadow had done this time made Shan Weng lose his patience. Just when Shan Weng was about to draw his weapon, a pair of purple eyes stared at him from the darkness. Shan Weng's eyes met the purple ones and suddenly felt as if his soul was leaving his body.
Shan Weng had never felt so much danger. The memories of his life flashed in his eyes. Just when he thought he was about to meet death, the door of the room opened and light entered the room. At the door stood a man who had an aura of a warrior as well as a merchant. He wore lavish clothes and looked just like Shan Weng. Behind him were 5 heavily armed guards.
"Son, are you there? Shan'er!", the father asked worriedly.
"Y-y-y-yes, f-f-father", Shan Weng's feeble and scared voice replied.
The man ran towards Shan Weng and gave him a hug. Shan Weng fell into his father's arms, paralyzed. Shan Weng's father looked at Night Shadow with a calm look.
"Who are you and what did you do to my son?"
Although Shan Weng's father's voice was calm, there was rage hidden within it.
Night Shadow looked at the father and replied innocently, "You don't need to know who I am. I only stared at him when he became like that"
It was the truth. Night Shadow "only" stared at Shan Weng. The father asked Shan Weng whether it was true but Shan Weng could not speak due to fear.
Before the father could say anything, Night Shadow said, "Well, I should be going. Here is a parting gift. Please accept it"
From his storage, Night Shadow removed an object and passed it to the father. It was a long red-colored hexagonal cylinder with a black rectangle in the middle of it. The father took the object and watched Night Shadow leave the room. The door closed, leaving the father and the son in the room alone.
Night Shadow came out of the room when a person bumped into him. The person who bumped into him fell down but Night Shadow did not even bulge.
"Ouch!", a female voice rang out.
"Watch where you are going", the female said.
Night Shadow looked at the female. The female was very beautiful, the most beautiful person Night Shadow has ever seen. She had long, shiny black hair with fair, smooth skin. Her blue eyes made her look like an angel but...
"You are the one who bumped into me and now you are blaming me. How can anyone be so stupid", Night Shadow said in a bored and helpless tone and left the place.
The girl did not believe what Night Shadow said. She was quite beautiful and she knew it. Many men would give her everything to talk to her but here was a person scolding her.
"Humph!", the girl harrumphed and started going towards the exit while having a mysterious smile on her face.
Oblivious to the girl's thoughts, Night Shadow came out of the pagoda and started walking towards the Fallen Phoenix. What Night Shadow, shocked him. Many people were surrounding the spaceship and some were even drawing the spaceship on paper-like sheets. Night Shadow sent a message to his hounds, telling them to meet at a point. After that, Night Shadow went through the crowd and opened the spaceship.
Instantly, many voices asked him...
"Sir, could you explain how it works?"
"Is this spaceship for sale?"
"I will give you 100 spiritual coins for the spaceship!"
"Only 100? Sir, I will give you 200"
"Sir, I will give you 250"
Suddenly, the place turned into an auction house.
Night Shadow got pissed and transformed his right arm into the void disintegrator gun and shot at the person who started the auction.
Wizz~
The bullet hit the person and the person vanished. Suddenly the whole place became pin-drop silent. Everyone either looked at Night Shadow or the Void Disintegrator Gun in shock.
"My spaceship is not for sale. Get lost before I start killing you", Night Shadow's voice was so cold that everyone started shivering. The people who were crowding around the spaceship now left to do other work. Night Shadow also did not wait and went inside towards the cockpit.
"Athena, how much percentage of the energy had been recharged?"
"98%"
"Alright, Athena would you like to see something amazing?"
"Yes, master"
Night Shadow smiled and said, "Lift from the ground and start heading towards the forest"
Suddenly, the ship's engines came alive, and the spaceship started moving vertically. In a few seconds, they had reached a good height before Night Shadow told Athena to look at the clan.
In the clan, the leader of the clan's room,
Shan Weng's father was waiting for Shan Weng. Shan Weng had been traumatized by those pair of eyes. Right now, he was seeing a doctor and in a few minutes, Shan Weng will come out. In the meantime, Shan Weng's father was looking at the "parting gift" Night Shadow had given him. He could not understand what it was. He kept looking at it from different angles but could not find any information on what it was.
Suddenly, the black rectangle in the object lit up and a number shown brightly in bright red color. 10. Shan Weng's father looked confused but suddenly the number changed. 9. Suddenly the number changed again. 7. Then 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Suddenly the number became 0 but nothing happened. The father shook the object and...
BOOM!!!
The object blasted. The atmosphere outside the pagoda was peaceful a second ago but the explosion caused the atmosphere to change. The whole pagoda blew up and nothing remained.
"What's going on?!!"
"What happened?"
"Look at the central pagoda, it blew up!"
All around the people kept looking at the pagoda with widened eyes. They knew the power that the Shan family had but they could think of any person who would challenge the family. Suddenly, from the wreckage came out a person in ragged clothes, burnt hair, dirt on his skin, and had an expression of rage and despair.
"YOU BASTARD!!!!"
It was Shan Weng's father. He knew the one who did this was none other than the stranger, Night Shadow. He wanted to kill Night Shadow very badly but he couldn't. He had spent a lot of energy on saving himself and wanted to regain the energy.
"GUARDS!! Find the man who was with my son and bring him to me DEAD OR ALIVE!!!"
Shan Weng's father lost his composure and looked like a maniac.
"Yes, master!!", the guards replied and started looking for the man.
Meanwhile, on the ship.
"Was it amazing, Athena?"
"...I don't know, master"
Night Shadow looked at the scene with an evil and cold smile that would make any demon king look cute. Suddenly, Night Shadow felt something leave him and the smile on his face vanished.
'What just happened?'
When Night Shadow was in the mineral room, he felt something different in his body. Something unfamiliar. But before he could do anything, the feeling took over him and he succumbed to it. From then on, he knew what he was doing but could not control it. It was like something had possessed him and took over his body.
He didn't know what happened but suddenly a ding resounded in his head.

------------------------------
'Well, at least I got some XP, right?', Night Shadow tried to console himself.
Night Shadow looked outside and said, "Athena, head towards the forest, we will..."
Suddenly Night Shadow stopped talking. He fell into deep thinking. Night Shadow was deciding whether he should take his hounds with him or release some more hounds to gain XP. A few minutes later, Night Shadow spoke...
"Athena, just head towards this location", Night Shadow said and sent Athena a location.
"Yes, master"
Instantly, the Fallen Phoenix turned and started heading towards the location.
Now that Night Shadow had time, he looked at his stats. Night Shadow saw that he still had a lot of stat points so he said...
'System, place 400 points in strength, dexterity, intelligence, and speed. Place the last 500 points in luck'
[Yes, host]
Immediately, his stats changed. Night Shadow smiled as he felt the power inside of him. But why Night Shadow put 500 points in luck and 400 points in others? Because Night Shadow was going to try his luck in Wheel of Fortune. From the name itself, Night Shadow knew what it might be.
'System, I want to use the Wheel of Fortune'
Immediately, Night Shadow's vision turned black and a wheel appeared in it. It was 2 meters in diameter, red in color with a golden needle. There were many things on the wheel such as blueprints, information, vehicles, and even Points. There was a button in the center of the circle which said "Spin".
Night Shadow told the system, 'Spin'
The button was pressed and the needle started spinning around with the speed increasing every second. In a few seconds, the speed of the needle became so fast that even Night Shadow could not determine the needle location. The wheel was in red color but now it looked like a layer of gold has been applied to it. The button in the center now said "Stop". Night Shadow waited for a few seconds and told...
'Stop'
The needle instantly stopped and Night Shadow looked at the prize he got.
