Chapter 83
Author: Lord Leaf
Upon arriving at Silverwing Hospital, Douglas could be seen lying on one of the beds in the ward, covered in wounds and bruises. There was a cast on his right leg as well, and he looked miserable. Charlie couldn’t help but sympathize. This fully grown man had been cheated on, had his heart broken, and was now covered in wounds.

At the sight of Charlie’s arrival, Douglas’s swollen eyes began to tear up, tears flowing down his cheeks like a river stream.

“Charlie…” Douglas broke down crying.

    Meanwhile, at the Norway research base, all three women were sitting around a tea table by the window, looking out from time to time.Vera made tea, but none of them were in the mood to drink.Charlie had been gone for days, and his fate remained unknown. Vera definitely wanted to call his satellite phone, but was worried that might expose him should he be in a risky position, so she could only wait patiently.Ruby and Penny were worried for Charlie too, just like Vera, as he was traveling to the deep south of Antarctica. Still, as Vera didn't express it, it deterred them from doing so too.That was when Vera's phone screen lit up with a news notification.The research station had a Starlink receiver that operates 24/7, and the network here was not much different from that of a modern city. Vera's phone received many push notifications every day, but it was always on silent mode with vibration turned off so as not to disturb Penny and Ruby's cultivation. But just now, the scre

    As for everyone else, Charlie would keep the secret from them for now, judging the situation and then decide accordingly.He then thought he should explore the other levels of the plaza pagoda of the subterranean city too.However, when he tried to exit through the windows around the pagoda, he ran into invisible barriers that he couldn't pass through, preventing him from leaving.He didn't even know which floor of the pagoda he was on, only that there were no stairs or exits. It puzzled him—he had been teleported here by a portal that suddenly appeared in the temple called Trinity Heart, but all nine portals here corresponded to places outside Antarctica. He could go to those nine places located on different continents and in different countries, but he couldn't even leave the pagoda?Even as he was left unsure what to do, a detailed map of the entire subterranean city suddenly appeared in his mind. Moreover, it had eighteen portals marked into it, each usable with a different

    Charlie never expected to travel the entire subterranean city to find nothing, only to discover the spirit stones stored in Vera's ring all this time!And it was no exaggeration to say that it was a generous amount, for after an actual count, Charlie saw that there must be over two thousand!On top of that, every single spirit stone contained a huge amount of Reiki, and at least a dozen times denser compared to the density of Reiki in the Peace and Wealth pebble. The best ones had to be a hundredfold denser too!It was a huge number even for Charlie, and he felt like a wage slave who spent not more than a hundred dollars a day, suddenly inheriting a trillion dollars in assets. With so much Reiki at his disposal, he had no idea what he should even use it for.Naturally, he could directly absorb it, but since coming here to the subterranean city, he had come to realize how much of a waste that was.For cultivators, spirit stones were high-voltage batteries and an omnipotent power

    With that in mind, Charlie examined the ring engraved with the number 2804 on it and murmured softly, "If I were to design this ring, since I have already integrated the teleportation ward into it, I would definitely also integrate a pocket dimension into it, as void storage for any supplies I need to carry. "That way, each cultivator sent out to collect resources would not be a single person, but basically a full transport convoy. They could carry a copious number of resources back to the base through the portal, whether it was stacks of raw tree trunks, tons of boulders, or spirit stones. Anything stored in the void pocket will be brought back with relative ease."Brushing his fingers over the engraving, he murmured to himself, "I wonder if those cultivators were thinking the same thing?Even as he finished, he felt a warmth from the ring, followed by a mental incantation that appeared in his mind.Charlie had no idea what it did, but as he trusted this place, he didn't hesitate

    When Charlie began to speculate that Vera's ring belonged to this place, he suddenly remembered the one function he knew it had.Other functions aside, he knew for sure that once the ring acknowledged an owner, the ring would teleport the owner during his dire moments to the person at the forefront of their mind.In other words, it was meant to save lives—even if one was dying, it would at least grant them the opportunity to see their loved ones one last time.With those speculations in mind, if there really were cultivators laboring like worker ants to scrounge up cultivation materials from across the globe, it was necessary for each person to have such a ring.After all, scouting for such precious resources was itself a risky task. Other cultivators might hunt them down, and with the ring, flight was always an option if fight proved vain—a fail-safe for every cultivator dispatched.And that might be why the ring's serial number couldn't be seen outside the subterranean city, but

    However, the spirit stones were a non-recyclable resource, and competition would have been fierce with the Degenerate Age of Dharma. Those nine portals might be routes that the ancient cultivators used to travel around the world to gather spirit stones, and judging from how they labored to move everything they could to the South Pole, they chose to migrate following the Degenerate Age of Dharma.They had to create a utopia for cultivators, as burning through resources that could match a nation's treasury as they attempted to stave off the decline brought about by the Degenerate Age of Dharma.If Charlie's theory held sway, that meant they were searching for spirit stones across the globe before—or even after—they migrated to the South Pole. They needed a ton of them both to maintain the wards keeping the city portals alive, as well as meet the needs of the thousands of cultivators.That was the most logical explanation of the portal, and Charlie could imagine it in his mind already.

I have just paid for more credits but can’t get back to story. No customer support, tip off

Detail my friend needs edits. Douglas said he spent 100k now 10k. Painting was valued at 200k here says 20k. Also good story just correct consistency errors

This novel was written by a AI algorithm with these types of mistakes hahah

I agree with, there are errors: he instead of she and and many more. The repeatitive pattern of Vendetta and revenge just to prolong the story is sickening, the story started really nice but it unnecessary turns into a high school novel, just to give it some Volume- not necessary

I think I have to stop reading this stupid book. To much error. Is it a primary school student that wrote this story. Unnecessarily detail to lengthen the book just for us to pay more and try you making silly mistake. He bought the painting 200k now it’s worth 20k.

I agree with the above readers initially Douglas said he spent 100 k of his life savings the picture was estimated by Lily's father to be 200 k now it's worth 20k. there have been other discrepancies such as the hailed a cab to Shang grah li for the wedding then it said they drove the car home!!!

dear author.. you exspect me to pay money and you can't keep your facts straight. how much did Douglass invest ten thousand or 100 grand. and how much was painting twenty thousand or 200 grand. come on get with it

i think probably some little kid wrote this ... purposely lengthen the story with unnecessary details so we pay more

Charlie teach that bitch alessons by calling back those gangster to deman the collcetor make that Lilly regret for even being born and the father make him lose everything they have now seriouly

lol did the authors currency converter kick in or something?

captivating though some infos change but still enjoying it, Lily is a bitch that will soon be taught a lesson by Charlie

damn.. two hundred thousand painting become only twenty thousand when in hospital talk.. what a stupid joke from the writer..

I paid over 5 dollars 2 nights ago then after few chapters I am out again

Yes I you pay after so many chapters then you pay again. Is this a very high end book?

is the story teller is forgotten about the previous stories or not pay attention to the details 🤔 how could the writer missed this, paying so much money for reading the book but it's not published properly, what a great stories with mediocre publishers

It’s to expensive every chapter u finish u have to pay

ohhhh hohohoh u gonna get the slap Lily

Wait.. what?! Very inconsistent.. 100k savings to 10k.. Painting worth 200k now 20k..??

Wow what an expensive book in already spent $5.99 and to finish I would need to spend another $99.99. I did not realize that you pay for ever chapter of the book. What a rip off why not just have an upfront affordable price? I won’t be finishing this book.

one of the best books I've read in my life but apperently it's too expensive

First off the painting value as changes and then how did he remind him. He told his dumb ass to take the painting. The book is really getting to be meh.

The $$ amounts aren’t consistent... are multiple people waiting this book?

@Nestor, I noticed that too. I somehow feel like the Author or Authors are deliberately making up stories as it goes. I’m pretty sure in the future Charlie will call the Moore lady and auction his friends painting. That or fund his new restaurant or business.

Savings originally P100K made to only P10K and the painting originally worth P200K as appraised by a reputable antique appraiser now only P20K? What happened?
