Chapter244-Gone. It’s All Gone!
"Christian, my dear brother," Velen said with a smirk,
"How many more 'homes' do you have left in Chaos City?"
Oh no! What are you planning now?!
Hearing Velen's words, Christian's eyes darted nervously.
"Your Highness Velen, I swear, that was the only one! I really don't have any others!"
"Really?"
Velen clearly didn't believe him.
"Your Highness Velen! People should have more trust in each other!
I really, truly don't have any other 'homes' left!"
...
A short while later, under Velen's persuasion (or rather, intimidation),
Christian found himself once again following Velen toward another succubus house.
Even though Christian tried desperately to resist, Velen simply ignored him.
Looking at the succubus house in the distance, Christian's heart sank into despair.
My home... Another one... And another one...
Second house.
Third house.
...
By the time they reached the seventh house, Christian finally broke down.
He collapsed onto the ground, refusing to budge.
"I'm not moving! I'm not going!"
"Your Highness Velen, this is my last 'home!' Please, have mercy on your brother!"
Christian pleaded with teary eyes, utterly devastated.
At this point, he deeply regretted ever trying to show off in front of this damn squandering maniac!
"Are you sure it's the last one?"
Velen asked, a little disappointed.
The luxury points were coming in way too easily; he hadn't had enough fun yet!
"It's really the last one! I swear, please, at least leave me one place to crash!"
Seeing Velen take out a space ring, Christian warily peeked inside.
Inside were neatly arranged bottles—one thousand in total—filled with a strange, dark potion.
Christian looked suspiciously at Velen.
"This is an Endurance Potion.
It'll keep you... full of energy."
"From now on, don't ever let anyone say you're... lacking again.
As for other problems, I'll think of ways to help you later."
Velen smiled meaningfully as he explained.
"Alright, it's getting late. I'm heading back to rest."
"Since you've lost so much, just drink a few bottles.
Think of it as my compensation to you."
"You have my blessing tonight—go wild!"
Velen patted Christian on the shoulder and flashed him a mischievous smile.
"No! Your Highness Velen, they were lying!"
"I'm not weak! I swear I'm strong!"
"You have to believe me!"
Christian cried out desperately, but Velen was already walking far, far away.
...
Early the Next Morning
"Wha—!!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
Velen bolted upright in shock, seeing Christian perched by his bedside, hair a mess, looking like a grieving widow.
"Christian, are you insane? What the hell are you doing here at dawn?"
Velen cursed loudly.
Who the hell sneaks into someone else's room just to stare at them?!
"It's gone..."
"Your Highness Velen, it's all gone..."
Christian muttered blankly, utterly broken.
He looked even more miserable now than when he had lost six "homes" the night before.
"Huh? What's gone?"
Seeing how abnormal Christian looked, Velen's expression turned serious.
Could it be... the potion was too strong, and it… broke something?!
"YOUR HIGHNESS VELEN!!!"
Christian howled, tears welling in his eyes.
"My 'homes' are all gone!"
"What?"
Velen blinked, confused.
"This Endurance Potion you gave me... it was too damn strong!"
"Last night, I wiped out every single one of them!"
"They all kicked me out! Said I'm not welcome ever again!"
Christian sobbed bitterly, sitting miserably by Velen's bed.
"Your Highness Velen, you have to compensate me!"
"You have to give me a new home!"
"I don't care if it's succubi, elves, or even goblins!"
???
Wait, I can understand the first two... but what was that last one you mentioned?!
Velen stared at him, dumbfounded.
"You know, Christian," Velen said thoughtfully,
"What you did last night is nothing short of legendary."
"You've achieved something people only dream of."
"One night! You conquered an entire house of succubi!"
"In the entire universe, you're probably the only man who could pull that off."
"If this were anyone else, you'd have already won a Universe Strongest Libido Award!"
Christian froze, then slowly broke into a crazed grin.
"Your Highness Velen... you're right!"
"You've awakened me!"
What lost home?
I don't need one home—I can make the whole universe my home!
"I'm quitting the New Archmage Conference!"
"I'm going to roam across all the planets!"
"I'll leave my legend on every single one of them!"
With that bold declaration, Christian started inching toward the door—literally.
"Christian, why are you walking like that?"
"Why not stand up properly?"
Velen asked, curious.
Christian turned back and wailed:
"Your Highness Velen! It... it won't settle down!"
"I don't dare take big steps!
If I move too much, it'll flop out!"
And with that, Christian awkwardly squatted and shuffled out the door.
Velen: ???
This potion's that intense?!
It's been a whole night and the effects still haven't worn off?
It even wiped out Christian's last 'home'!
Velen was truly stunned.
Last night, after helping Christian destroy six "homes,"
he triggered three special rewards—each time earning 1000 bottles of Endurance Potion.
He had given Christian 1000 bottles already, but he still had 2000 bottles left himself.
"Hmm? What's this?"
When Velen checked his luxury points, he noticed something strange.
"System, shouldn't my luxury points total seventy-seven million?
Why does it show eighty-seven million now?"
Ding!
Host, your club members have been actively developing the 'Tycoon Squandering Sect'.
Their squandering and show-off behaviors now occasionally earn you luxury points and special rewards!
Last night, thanks to their cumulative efforts, you gained an additional 10 million luxury points! They have been credited to your account.
Hearing the explanation, Velen finally understood.
In short, every tycoon club member and their mentees were helping him generate luxury points at all times.
Once the system accumulated 10 million, it would be released in a lump sum.
"Looks like expanding the Tycoon Club was a brilliant move."
"With eighty-seven million luxury points now...
Another thirty million, and I'll be able to break through to Supreme Rank level 9 peak!"
Velen opened today's special item list.
Today's Special Item: Endurance Potion ×100
???
Am I seeing things?
Why is it still this damn potion?!
Was this potion so popular that the system kept pushing it onto him?
"This thing's... way too specific.
How the hell am I supposed to squander it for show-off purposes?"
"Throw it on the ground?"
Velen mused.
Feed it to the Iron Cub and the rabbit?
But if he did that...
Wouldn't the entire fortress be flipped upside down by those two monsters?!
Ding! Reminder: Host, Endurance Potion grants major reinforcement in certain physical aspects.
Even if you just quietly wait for the effects to subside, the hidden enhancements will still take effect.
Ding! Endurance Potion effects last for one full day and night.
After consuming four bottles, hidden enhancements no longer stack.
Overdosing won't extend the duration.
What?! Hidden abilities too?!
"System... isn't this a bit shady?"
Velen's face darkened.
Ding! Host, the system is merely providing a factual explanation of the potion's hidden effects.
"I trust you about as far as I can throw you!"
"I was just thinking about smashing the potions... and you immediately pop up to warn me.
Don't tell me that's just a coincidence!"
