I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Looking at those sixteen characters, Zi Jin suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the five great families.

When a shop opens, the young masters of the five major families don't care at all.

However, Wang Wei's sixteen words were simply too arrogant.

They practically have "you're all trash" written all over their faces; that's sure to get their attention.

Zi Jin could already picture the scene of the young masters of the five great families cutting off their own flesh and bleeding themselves dry.

She was even a little excited.

Inside the hall, Wang Wei nodded with great satisfaction.

This GG play should have been quite effective.

He took out all the energy liquid, a total of 100,060 vials.

One hundred billion is a safe bet, ten are one trillion, one hundred are ten trillion, one thousand are one hundred trillion...

He didn't have the patience to calculate, so he just silently recited:

"Exchange all of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy liquid swept away into the sky.

"Successfully exchanged for Origin Energy, accumulating 100060000 billion Safety Points."

Looking at the rapidly increasing balance of safety points, even someone as composed as Wang Wei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

One hundred and six trillion – plus the more than three trillion from the Seventh Purgatory, the remaining safe points have reached a terrifying 100099855 billion.

"Continuous promotions"

The safe house sector is expanding rapidly once again.

This time, the expansion of the domain's boundaries is happening at a much faster pace than ever before.

With his eyes closed, Wang Wei sensed the area spreading outwards—across streets, over pavilions, over those luxurious buildings, covering the entire urban area where the "Don't Scam the Poor" store was located.

Moments later, the expansion of the territory ceased.

Wang Wei looked towards the safe house:

Safe House (Growth Type)

Rating: Supreme

Combat Power: +∞

Function: Activating this innate ability creates an absolutely safe zone covering an area of ​​approximately 4477 square kilometers. Within the safe zone, the host is in a state of absolute invincibility.

Superpower:

Insight – Provides insight into the self-information of all targets within the safe house's perimeter.

Reflection – Allows real-time observation of the scene within a certain range outside the safe house; the range increases as the safe house advances.

Shape shifting – the ability to change the shape of a safe house.

Energy Transfer – This ability can remove the special abilities of targets within the safe house's area and transfer them to other targets, causing them to awaken the corresponding special abilities.

Limitations: Safe houses cannot be moved in real time. The lifespan of a safe house is approximately 129600 years. The ability can be used every 1 day.

Details: Upgrading requires approximately 4.48 million security points.

Remaining safe points: 2430 million

4477 square kilometers!

Wang Wei looked at the area under his control and a smile crept onto his face.

From over 100 square kilometers to over 4,000 square kilometers, it has increased nearly thirty times.

Although we are still a long way from sheltering a world, we have at least taken a big step, and this is only the first day.

However, Wang Wei's gaze sharpened when he saw the existence of the cycle.

129,600 years.

He had a gut feeling that the safe house's lifespan was coming to an end.

Even if it is improved further, this time will not increase again.

However, this is just his speculation, and whether it is true or not will have to wait until the next promotion to verify.

He glanced at the safety point required for his next promotion and couldn't help but smile wryly.

4.48 million safe points.

"If this keeps increasing, when will it end?" He shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Rather than focusing on the duration of existence, he prefers that there be a cap on the safety points consumed with each upgrade.

While Wang Wei was observing the safe house, a large number of people had already gathered outside the shop.

"Wow, it's Young Master Yang from the Yang family, one of the five great families!"

"And the Bai family's angelica!"

"Xin Zheng of the Xin family!"

"What happened? Three of the five major families have arrived at once!"

The surrounding crowd murmured amongst themselves and automatically made way for them.

Three figures approached side by side.

A young man in a blue robe walked at the front, followed by a woman in a white dress on his right, a faint smile on her lips.

The young man in black walked on the left, his expression calm.

The young man in blue, Yang Shao, stopped in front of the shop, looked up at the four large characters above the door, and sneered, "So, they say they don't rip off the poor? Does that mean they're deliberately trying to rip us off?"

Bai Zhi chuckled: "It seems this shop owner is quite an interesting person."

Xin Zheng looked around, his gaze landing on the shop, and whispered a reminder: "This seems to be Zi Jin's property."

"So what if it's Purple Ash?" Young Master Yang scoffed. "We'll find out once we go in and take a look."

With that, he stepped inside.

Xin Zheng and Bai Zhi exchanged a glance and followed them inside.

They were also curious about who was so arrogant.

As soon as the three entered, they saw a young man sitting alone on the sofa in the hall, looking at them with a smile.

His smile was faint, yet it inexplicably made people feel that he had been waiting for them for a long time.

Wang Wei had already figured out the basic information about the three people.

Yang Wei, Xin Zheng, and Bai Zhi are from the Yang family, Xin family, and Bai family of Dixing City, respectively.

Three fat sheep have come to our door.

Yang Shao came in and looked around. It was clear that the shop had not been renovated yet, and the decorations were extremely simple, even somewhat sloppy.

"You think you can just brag like that?" Young Master Yang said bluntly. "Instead of opening your business properly, you're just putting on airs."

Wang Wei smiled upon hearing this: "Yang Wei, Xin Zheng, Bai Zhi. I didn't expect that three distinguished guests would arrive at my humble shop so soon after it opened today."

Bai Zhi and Xin Zheng were taken aback. Did this person know them?

The two exchanged a glance but did not respond.

This place is, after all, Zi Jin's property. The person who bought it from Zi Jin must be quite extraordinary.

Yang Shao didn't think that much about it.

"Hmm?" His face darkened. "Is Yang Wei someone you can call me?"

He hates it when people call him by his full name.

"You've got a pretty big mouth out there," Yang Shao said coldly. "But if you can't deliver, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Hehe." Wang Wei slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at the three people's faces, unhurriedly.

"Our shop specializes in unraveling all the world's secrets and settling all the intractable problems in human life," he said. "If you have any needs, just let us know."

Wang Wei paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"However—you have to pay first."

Yang Shao's eyes widened. In Emperor Star City, was there anyone more pretentious than him?

Behind them, Bai Zhi, seeing that Wang Wei, though outspoken, possessed an extraordinary demeanor, couldn't help but ask, "How shall I address you, sir?"

Wang Wei smiled and said, "This problem will require ten vials of energy liquid."

Upon hearing this, all three of them were stunned.

In Imperial Star City, a single bottle of energy liquid is worth 30 billion Imperial Coins.

Ten of them, that's three hundred billion.

Three hundred billion Imperial Coins was no small sum for the three of them.

"Who do you think you are?" Yang Shao couldn't sit still any longer. "Is a lousy name worth that much?"

Xin Zheng was much more composed than Yang Shao. He stared into Wang Wei's eyes and slowly said, "How can we know if this money is well spent if you don't show us your skills first?"

Wang Wei nodded upon hearing this. That makes sense.

"Alright." He looked at the three of them. "I see that you three are having a very bad day. You need to spend money to avoid disaster, otherwise—you will suffer a bloody accident."

The hall was silent for a few seconds.

"Hahaha—" Young Master Yang laughed loudly, "You brat, you're spouting nonsense. In Imperial Star City, who dares to touch me—"

Before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

Because Wang Wei has disappeared.

In the next instant, Wang Wei was already standing in front of Yang Shao, with less than half a meter between them.

"You're going to get slapped," Wang Wei said softly.

Yang Shao was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

"Snap—"

A crisp sound rang out in the hall.

Yang Shao stumbled and swayed to the side, crouching awkwardly on the ground.

His left cheek swelled up instantly, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Xin Zheng and Bai Zhi were shocked.

They didn't even see how Wang Wei got there. Yang Shao, a sixth-level cultivator, didn't even have time to react.

This slap wasn't a sneak attack; it was a crushing defeat.

"Am I right?" Wang Wei stood still, hands behind his back, his tone flat.

The hall was deathly silent for a few seconds.

Yang Shao covered his face, raised his head, and his eyes flashed with anger, humiliation, and fear—a mixture of emotions.

But he didn't say a word.

He was arrogant, but not stupid.

His opponent was clearly far stronger than him.

Outside the store, the crowd of onlookers remained completely silent.

The slap was so loud that the onlookers stared wide-eyed.

The young master of one of the five great families was slapped in the face in public.

In Imperial Star City, this is a matter of utmost importance.

"The three of you," Wang Wei said, "still don't think it's worth it?"
