Cheat Awakening
Chapter 745 - 745. Scammed
"What the hell? Just how many types of currencies do you have? First game coins, then cosmic coins, then rank points, and now these blessing points. If anything is remaining, why don't you show them as well?" Myne complained as he looked at the new "Blessing" section added below his " Cosmic Coins" section.
But before doing anything else, Myne decided to use his newly gained 30 free attribute points. This was part of the reward that excited him the most, as the remaining ones he could only use inside the game, and he hadn't found any way to bring them to his world, so they were not that important.

"Ahm~ This is it! This feeling of getting powerful just by a few clicks of the fingers is f*cking awesome," Myne moaned with his eyes closed as a mysterious energy suddenly appeared in his body and strengthened it.
The feeling was so intoxicating that he wanted to experience it for hours, but sadly, it only lasted for a few seconds before everything returned to normal. Now, his brain felt so refreshed and lightened that he was having illusions of high heaven. This feeling was the same as taking an addictive substance and getting free from all worries.
"My spirit is increasing with frightening speed. I'm a little worried about it. Hopefully, it won't become so overpowered that my body isn't able to handle it at all... I'd better next time put more of my attribute points into endurance and strength. Anyway, everything is connected to each other; if my body and strength are strong, my agility will automatically increase."
"As for those extra 5 points behind all attributes, they should belong to the Gladiator Badge, I mean, Tattoo. The rest of the things are the same; there isn't much change."
Thinking such, Myne closed the status, walked forward, and picked up a disk-sized object in front of the statue.
It was blue and white, with a completely smooth metallic body and a small coin-shaped hole on top. Myne didn't think much of it, and with a heavy heart, he put one Cosmic Coin into it.
As soon as the coin fit into the hole, an extremely creepy scream suddenly came out of the device. With the scream, Myne felt a stream of basic information about the operation of the device in his hand pouring into his brain. As all the information was transmitted into his brain, the device floated away from his palm and started hovering at his chest level, a hand's distance from him.
Just as Myne was confusedly wondering what was going on, a ray of blue light shot out from it, and a giant holographic display with thousands of items appeared in front of him. They were all equipment and props, and the worst of them were all "Rare" quality! The highest he could see was the "Immortal" level. Although he had no idea what "Immortal rank" meant, the frightening price of millions of cosmic coins was more than enough for him not to look at them for a second time and honestly come to the lowest section.
"It's worthy of being the treasure house of the gods. It's really luxurious enough! If only those bastards gave me more coins so I could buy anything worthwhile. Also, why is there no filter or search system? How the hell am I going to find anything good among thousands of those items?"
As always, Myne didn't forget to complain, but this time his complaint was quite justified since there were indeed a lot of things in the treasury.
Although he currently only had 8 Cosmic Coins after using one just to open this treasure shop, there were probably a few thousand products he could buy. Cosmic Coins seemed to be very, very hard to come by currently in the multiverse; at least with just two coins, you could buy rare equipment, which showed its value.
This f*cker definitely did it on purpose, so I can't buy anything useful and waste money! Myne, seeing that he could only read a product name, rank, and price tag, nothing else, especially its details and effects, slammed his feet in anger while cursing in his mind.
"This is a bit too much. There are simply too many things I want to buy, but just by seeing their name, it's hard to tell what kind of effect they bring. According to the seller's personality, I've seen until now, I'm fully confident that out of all the things I buy, 90% would be a scam."
While being vigilant, Myne spent an entire hour looking for any item he could buy. Although during this process he encountered many cool-named props, even two epic equipment pieces with some doubtful names, he sadly couldn't make up his mind in the end.
This was because he didn't know their effects or types. So, after wasting a precious coin, he gave up after learning from the system that he could carry the disk with him until he bought something, and it would only disappear after he purchased anything from it.
Learning this, Myne decided to first visit the Cosmic Arena, earn a huge amount of coins, and learn more about rare and hard-to-find equipment and props. He would then open this treasure shop and buy from it, saving himself from any potential scams.
Having made up his mind, Myne, with a bleeding heart because of losing one cosmic coin for nothing, put away the disk into his Item Bar and chose to use a blessing point. There was no way he would collect those points without realising their awesomeness.
"Oye, System, do I really have to donate one cosmic coin to use a blessing point?" Myne, who was kneeling before the statue but saw it not reacting at all, asked with a dark expression.
[ Yes! ]
[ Does the Host want to donate one cosmic coin for tribute? ] This сhаptеr's truе sоurсе is Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (
"Do you bastards have any option left for me?" Myne gritted his teeth, clicked on "yes," and watched another of his precious coins being stolen away by that damn Hell Lord, who seemed to like robbing his people the most.
But Myne's attention was soon diverted as a bright, bloody red light shot out from the eyes of the Hell Lord statue and fell on his body.
[ You have obtained the blessing: Spark of Inspiration

"..."
"Yep, I got cheated again," Myne nodded his head with an expressionless face before clicking on the exit button and deciding to return to the lobby. He feared that if he stayed at this place any further, he would go crazy and do something crazy, which would not be good for his health.
...
"Hahaha..."
"What's wrong with you, Father? Why are you laughing crazily like a fool while sitting here alone?"
At the edge of a giant cliff in Hell, with a massive city visible some distance from the cliff, a man in a businessman's suit, wearing a hat, and a walking stick resting on his lap, sat. He was swinging his legs while laughing occasionally.
Behind him stood a beautiful lady with crimson-red hair that resembled a waterfall of flames. She stood at a statuesque height of 1.8 meters. Crowned by two majestic horns curving like crescent moons, perfectly adorning her head, she exuded an otherworldly allure.
Her slender figure, draped in scanty attire that accentuated her ample E-cup breasts and a voluptuous, bubbly butt, added to the allure that captivated any beholder. Her long, hairless tail gracefully extended, culminating in a heart-shaped point, further emphasising her seductive nature.
Two majestic demonic wings, bathed in a rich shade of red, completed her mesmerising appearance, along with thin, tempting lips and an aura of supernatural beauty capable of quickening the heartbeat of any man who dared to gaze upon her.
"It is nothing, dear. I just saw one of my believers getting scammed and losing two cosmic coins, and now he is blaming me for his loss. I thought it was childish and pathetic and couldn't help but laugh at his misery."
"Gal, I won't lie to you, but I don't know why, for some reason, every time I watch him in a miserable condition, I feel a completely different level of happiness. This is something I have never experienced before," The Travelling Merchant, who gave Myne his system and is also known as the Hell Lord by the multiverse, turned to his daughter, whom he finally found after wasting a lot of time, and spoke with a smile.
Yes, this beautiful woman is none other than Myne's third wife, the succubus, Gal, whom he met at Alban's Dimension Island (Chapter 292).
"Ohh, and who is the lucky fellow whom you are paying such close attention to?" Gal, who knew her father's selfish nature, raised her eyebrow in curiosity. She could already imagine that since this person had fallen onto his father's "toy list," his life wasn't going to be easy from now on.
"Just a nobody, you don't need to know. Anyway, have you thought about returning home and helping me manage my business? At least then you can earn more than working for some fatty to run a pub and spend all your time with those drunkards," The Hell Lord said with a caring face, making Gal disgusted. But thinking that what he said indeed made sense, or perhaps she also got tired of looking for a better job without relying on her body, Gal finally nodded with hesitation.
"Great, let's go back quickly. I have a perfect job for you," The Hell Lord jumped up with excitement. He hugged Gal, and the next moment, both of them disappeared from their spot as if they were never there at all.
