Speaking of which, she looked at Fang Ze with a peculiar expression and asked, "You're not going to show me some weird things and then trick me into thinking they're treasures, are you?"
Seeing Bai Ling's lack of trust, Fang Ze walked over with a smile, and while putting his arm around her shoulder, he said, "How could that be."
"Is this the image you have of me in your heart?"
Bai Ling nodded matter-of-factly.
She began to count on her fingers, "Let's see."
"Since you last ran off and repaid your debt, you've owed me 8 defensive artifacts, 2.1 million Lini, and countless extraordinary artifacts that you borrowed from me."
She gestured from high to low, "If right after you paid off your debt, you were held in this regard in my heart, now you have reached rock bottom."
Can we not talk about borrowing money?
If we don't mention borrowing money, we're still good friends.
Just wait until I get past the Yang Transformation stage master hurdle. Once I sell that 1 gram of "Qin 28," I will definitely pay you back!
Of course, all these thoughts were in Fang Ze's mind, and he did not utter them aloud.
Because he knew that in front of someone you owed money to, no matter how much you talk, it's not as effective as paying the money back.
Moreover, he still had a plan to carry out today—to earn 800 of Bai Ling's exclusive credit points—so he had no time to haggle over debts.
Therefore, he simply didn't continue the conversation and moved on to the previous topic, "I understand that you don't trust me."
"But seeing is believing."
"How about this. Close your eyes. Then, I will give you the treasure. You can just try it, and that would settle it, right?"
Seeing Fang Ze so serious, as if he really wanted to show her a treasure, Bai Ling hesitated and finally obeyed, closing her eyes.
After she closed her eyes, she immediately felt Fang Ze grab her hand and place it on something.
It felt like plastic, hard and somewhat rough, with a button on top.
Anyway... it didn't resemble an artifact in any way.
While she was feeling the "treasure," Fang Ze's voice resonated beside her, "Press it."
Bai Ling obediently pressed the button.
In that moment, Bai Ling suddenly felt her mind being filled with a lot of strange information.
The information was about how to use an awakening ability.
The name of the awakening ability was "Darkness."
The ability was incredibly powerful, or rather, Bai Ling had not seen such a powerful ability anywhere else, except with Bai Zhi and Fang Ze.
Just at the intermediate level, it had four branch abilities.
They were Infecting Creatures, Animating Objects, Dark King, and Dark Space.
It was far more powerful than her inherited bloodline ability, which was merely useful for seeking advantage and avoiding harm.
As she thought this, Bai Ling opened her eyes in astonishment and looked at the object in her hand.
It was a round button that looked like a light switch commonly found in the Security Bureau.
Bai Ling's gaze involuntarily moved to the switches inside Fang Ze's house.
The switches were intact, undamaged.
So... did she misunderstand?
While she was pondering this, Fang Ze's voice arose again at her ear, "How about it? Did you get the ability?"
Fang Ze said, "Show me."
As soon as Fang Ze's words fell, Bai Ling gave him a look, then her whole body instantly transformed into a cloud of black mist, disappearing into the shadow of the sofa, no longer visible.
This was clearly the branch ability of "Darkness": Dark King.
Shortly after, the black mist condensed beside Fang Ze, assuming her form once again.
Immediately afterwards, her shadow fiercely expanded, enveloping the nearby coffee table.
The shadow retracted, and the coffee table, along with everything on it, was swallowed into the shadow, vanishing from sight.
This was the branch ability of "Darkness": Dark Space.
A second later, from Bai Ling's shadow emerged a two-meter-long beast with a particularly square face and somewhat short limbs.
The beast still bore the traces of the table and was pitch-black with glaring red eyes, as if it was ready to pounce at Fang Ze at any moment.
This was the branch ability of "Darkness": Animating Objects.
In just one short minute, Bai Ling had demonstrated all the branches of "Darkness," except "Infecting Creatures," deftly for Fang Ze.
Seeing this, Fang Ze clapped his hands with a smile and then glanced at Bai Ling's panel.
At this moment, a new lending item had indeed appeared on Bai Ling's panel: Awakening Ability "Darkness" (Transfer Payment), borrowed for 1 day.
Indeed, the reason why Bai Ling could use Miaomiao's awakening ability was thanks to the branch ability of "High-Level Credit World": Transfer Payment. (Chapter 49)
This branch ability allowed Fang Ze to freely facilitate the exchange of resources between several of his borrowers and to charge a corresponding "fee."
Previously, Fang Ze had not used this ability because the chosen borrowers varied greatly in strength. Moreover, he did not have any use for other people's abilities.
It wasn't until this morning, while pondering how to quickly earn 800 credit points from Bai Ling, that Fang Ze suddenly realized: perhaps the true utility of "Transfer Payment" lies here!
Credit points trading among borrowers!
In the past, the "Borrow" ability of "Credit World" only allowed Fang Ze and the borrowers to lend each other abilities and resources. Exclusive points were also "assigned for specific use" and couldn't be circulated.
