It has only been a week! The tutorial wasn’t even over!
What’s even more shocking?
In this nine-entry list, there was actually an entry already grayed out!
[x30 Emerald > Cultivator Potion]
“Seriously? How did somebody earn that much emerald so fast?!”
Is there some secret involved? Or… is this the power of a protagonist?
Yu Zhiye didn’t know, but he was certain this potion was anything but normal, considering its name.
And a tap on the potion item icon showed a description that confirmed that.
[Cultivator Potion (Purple)]
Awaken a random spiritual root that can absorb the energy of heaven and earth
“Yep, the cliché xianxia fantasy nonsense. This path definitely has a super high ceiling, but…”
Any cultivation novel readers understood that the spiritual root quality will not guarantee a meteoric rise. Besides, where the hell will anybody get a cultivation manual here?
“Perhaps only a cheater reborn with such knowledge would choose this path…”
Who met those requirements? There’s no need to guess.
But Yu Zhiye didn’t dwell on that for long and simply moved through the rest of the list.
Werewolf and vampire potions were pretty straightforward.
Yu Zhiye cared more about the strange specialties like...
[Player Potion (Blue)]
Merge with the system and gamify your existence
“Oh? Becoming a player? Sounds cool, but the low cost… that’s just screaming bad news.”
What will it be? Low ceiling? Evolution locked? Bound to some existence that can erase any players with a single thought?
Who knows! But Yu Zhiye certainly wasn’t gonna be the guinea pig for this potion! Pass!
Next point of interest was...
[Random Bloodline Potion (Purple)]
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
From ocular power to ancient divine physiques to magical bloodlines, anything is possible!
“Uwah… you’re really selling it, aren’t you? Anything is possible? What if you get the bloodline of a pig? Bet there’s no refund.”
Moving on was another potion priced at 40 emeralds...
[Z-Virus Potion (Purple)]
A serum that unlocks all gene restriction and promotes evolution
“Holy shit. This can’t be an altered version of that virus from that iconic zombie game, right?”
If so, then… that’s really OP for its price. Then again, the risks were just as great…
This one requires careful research… assuming nobody purchases it by the time he could afford it.
Scrolling down past the cultivator potion, the potion prices spiked.
[x60 Emerald > Random Devil Fruit Potion]
[x80 Emerald > Stand Awakening Potion]
[x100 Emerald > Ichiha Bloodline Potion]
Yu Zhiye stared at those potion names and couldn’t resist wiping his drool!
“Hot damn! No way these are real!”
He quickly tapped to get a description.
[Random Devil Fruit Potion (Purple)]
The mashed up juice of a devil fruit sold by another player.
[Stand Awakening Potion (Orange)]
Awaken a manifestable fighting spirit.
[Ichiha Bloodline Potion (Golden)]
Bottled up inside is an evolvable ocular-type bloodline sold by another player.
They were real. This survival game system basically hit multiversal main god level!
“Why am I not surprised?” Yu Zhiye sighed and could only ogle at those epic power dangling there like a carrot on a stick.
In a nutshell, this was literally the cliché system shop hanging empty names at high prices that the player can’t afford just to herd them like sheep.
How abominable! How hateful!
Without a second thought, poor Yu Zhiye shut down the trade interface and was ready to storm away.
But he barely turned half a step when Miss Gypsy rapped a knuckle on the table to get his attention.
Yu Zhiye glanced back, just to see a scroll magically pop into existence and unroll on the table.
A quill then settled down next to the parchment.
It only took a glance to figure out that the mysterious scroll was a contract, and it read:
[Sell Innate Gift]
x999 Emerald
Nanii?! This mysterious merchant wants his black-grade secret hideout?! Pooh! Only a fool will sell!
Yu Zhiye stormed out without a second glance back.
The mysterious merchant quietly watched the back disappear from the alley, then…
A mysterious gray fog appeared out from nowhere and obscured her features like a curtain…
When that curtain faded away, there was only an empty alley left.
A villager dressed like a priest passed by and stared inside. “Huur?” (Did that scary existence come to steal business again?)
On the other side, Yu Zhiye didn’t even walk far before he passed by a farm, where Lackey B was reaping wheat like it was payday.
“Bunch of idiots! Why stay poor when you can just get these wheat for free!”
Standing nearby, the farmer villager only watched on with a weird smile but didn’t stop him.
Yu Zhiye felt the scene was quite creepy and hurried along, only to bump into the pant-buckling Han Duri coming out from an alley not long after.
“Oi! Watch where you’re going!”
Yu Zhiye was about to apologize, but his words choked in his throat when he saw the atrocious scene in the dark alley.
On the floor inside was a naked ragdoll baptized in slimy holy water.
Seriously bruh? Yu Zhiye really didn’t understand how things escalated so fast! Who complained about the quality earlier?!
Han Duri noticed the judgmental look and his face turned ugly. “Tch. Mind your own business.”
The sneaky rat then shoved the road block aside and briskly walked away.
Running away after doing the deed. How irresponsible.
Yu Zhiye gave the pitiful nameless flower girl another glance, only to see those hollow eyes staring back at him... accompanied by an icky smile that split wider and wider like a Venus fly trap...
Oh hellllll naw!
Feeling oddly creeped out, Yu Zhiye booked it out of there!
Damn! There must be something wrong with this village!
