Thinking of this, Loren immediately got up from the bed, teleported to the lounge door, and put on his coat and hat.

Then, he directly left Room 105 and arrived outside the door of Lounge 104.

Urgent knocking sounds echoed.

“What’s wrong? Big Brother, is there something urgent?” Ayla Morningstar asked as she opened the door.

Loren slipped into Lounge 104 and directly stated his purpose.

“I just expended a large amount of energy and mental power, little one. Can you restore me to my peak condition in a short time?”

10 minutes later.

Having returned to his peak state, Loren praised Ayla Morningstar and then walked out of Lounge 104.

After leaving the little one’s lounge, Loren headed straight for the staircase!

With his figure flashing rapidly, he arrived almost instantly outside Room 001 on the sixth floor.

Loren raised his hand and knocked on the office door.

“Come in!” Retab Collin’s voice came from inside the office.

After entering, Loren closed the office door behind him, walked up to the other’s desk, and asked directly:

“With Ninth Tier authority, how many Spirit Stones can I borrow?”

Upon hearing Loren’s question, Retab Collin carefully observed the energy fluctuations on Loren’s body and asked:

“Are you advancing to Legendary?”

“It’s impolite to inquire about others’ affairs. First tell me, how many Spirit Stones can the Association lend me? I need them now.” Loren’s tone was calm.

Hearing this, Retab Collin crossed his hands, propped up his chin, and fell into thought.

30 seconds later.

Retab Collin said in a deep voice, “We can lend you 4 million Spirit Stones, with interest. However, you have another choice. The Association can directly grant you a massive amount of Spirit Stones. Want it?”

“How much is the interest?” Loren asked.

“200,000 Spirit Stones per year.” Retab Collin sighed, seeming somewhat disappointed.

“What if I repay it after a while?” Loren asked again.

“If it’s before next year, no interest.”

“Deal!” A mysterious smile appeared on Loren’s face.

2 minutes later.

Loren walked out of Office 001 with 4 million Spirit Stones in his spatial storage device.

Then, he returned to his own Lounge 105 at the fastest speed possible!

He took off his coat and hat and hung them behind the door!

He went directly to sit on the large bed!

With a wave of his hand, he released 4 million Spirit Stones. The massive quantity of stones was piled up in the bedroom! He told Raven that if his energy ran low later, it should remember to devour a large number of Spirit Stones to replenish his energy!

Loren closed his eyes!

Having made all preparations, he directly activated his eighth ability! — “The Scales of Fate”!

He wanted to change the probability of him obtaining that stone slab!

Within the Illusion Space.

A golden, illusory scale appeared in the air above the crossroads.

On the left tray of the scale rested a black feather, symbolizing — [That stone slab will not fall into Loren’s hands].

When these two symbolic feathers appeared on the golden trays.

The height of the trays on both sides of the scale was equal, symbolizing that the probability of both events occurring was the same.

The scale marker in the middle of the Golden Scales was also precisely at the zero mark.

Then, Loren manipulated his first ability, beginning to apply a massive amount of Fortune to the tray on the white feather’s side…

2 minutes later.

All the energy within Loren’s body was completely exhausted.

At this moment, the scale marker in the middle had only reached the mark for 4.

The tilt angle of the white feather’s tray had only slightly outweighed the black feather’s tray.

However, soon, Loren felt new energy replenishing his body.

In the bedroom, Raven sensed that Loren’s internal energy was nearly depleted. It put down the portable computer and stopped its studying.

Raven opened its beak towards the massive pile of Spirit Stones in the bedroom. A small vortex appeared as Raven began devouring Spirit Stones, replenishing Loren’s consumption.

With his energy replenished, Loren continued his operation…

10 minutes later.

The scale marker in the middle reached the mark for 6.

30 minutes later.

The scale marker in the middle reached the mark for 10.

One hour later.

The scale marker in the middle reached the mark for 11.

Two hours later.

By now, the massive pile of Spirit Stones in the bedroom was also nearly gone, with less than 10,000 stones remaining…

Loren’s complexion had also turned extremely pale, his mental power already overdrawn…

The scale marker in the middle finally, arduously, reached the symbol representing the mark for 12.

The tray bearing the black feather was lifted high, while the tray bearing the white feather was pressed down heavily.

The golden illusory scale suspended above the Illusion Space also erupted with dazzling light at this moment!

After a flash of light, the entire “Golden Scales” quietly vanished, transforming into illusory points of light that disappeared within the Illusion Space…

A miracle was born!!

And as the Golden Scales disappeared, Loren’s mental power automatically withdrew from the Illusion Space.

Before he could even celebrate, he felt his vision go black and heavily collapsed onto the bed, sinking into a deep sleep…

This was the body’s protection for mental power; deep sleep was one of the most effective recovery methods…

On the large bed, a trace of a smile still lingered at the corner of Loren’s mouth as he fell into deep slumber…

Raven, located on the other side of the large bed, saw Loren fall into sleep and shook its head with emotion.

So reckless, this foolish master…

After its sigh, Raven devoured the few remaining Spirit Stones on the room’s floor, leaving not a single one…

After letting out a satisfied burp, it buried its head back into studying…

Although it didn’t know why Loren wanted that stone slab, it could tell from Loren’s reaction that the slab was important, unprecedentedly important…

As a bird possessing “wisdom,” all it could do for Loren was to finish learning those ancient writing systems in an even shorter time.

——–

Federal Calendar 7708, October 28th, early morning.

Loren, who had been asleep for three days, finally opened his eyes.

Due to his mental power being severely overdrawn, his sleep this time was quite long.

During these three days, Ayla Morningstar had also come looking for Loren several times.

Under Raven’s reception, after learning Loren had fallen into a deep sleep, she also used her ability to help restore Loren several times.

Unfortunately, even with the little one’s ability helping, Loren had long since returned to his peak state, yet he still maintained his sleeping state and did not wake up early…

“How long have I slept, Raven?” Loren’s voice sounded.
