"I'm not going for Martial Souls and Soul Skills, but rather because I'm interested in the Godhood and Faith-based Godhood of the Douluo Continent. I'm also curious if the treasure chests dropped in the Douluo world can yield what I need."
"In that case, take this with you too."
Xiao Xian handed Mu Yang the World Key, information about Douluo, and a piece of glazed bead.
[Ice Fire Glaze]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise · Skywing Merchant Guild
Quality: Blue
Category: Special Item
Effect: Can contain special wonders with ice and fire attributes.
Rating: 59
… … … …
"This is… for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Remember our 101 reading website
Mu Yang hesitated, saying that in the Douluo Continent, something involving ice and fire attributes, and only a wonder, seemed to be only the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Yes, we've been interested in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a long time. But not many Contractors took on this task; the strong ones weren't interested in Douluo, and the weak ones might not even be able to defeat the Poison Douluo.
Moreover, every time we made a move, we were affected by a certain someone's luck, and it all ended in failure. Therefore, this plan has been shelved. Since you're going, this task will be given to you incidentally. You don't necessarily have to succeed; preserving your life is the most important thing."
"Alright."
After getting everything, Mu Yang also took the opportunity to upgrade his [Fire Element Specialization] from Lv.3 to Lv.5 at the Skywing Merchant Guild.
Fire Element Specialization Lv.5 (Passive Skill)
Effect: Increases fire element damage by 18%, and significantly improves fire element proficiency.
… … … …
He then left and headed to the nearest trading market.
He already had some schemes in mind, and to realize them, he needed one thing.
"Recovery items on sale! Don't miss out, everyone passing by!"
"Ma Niu Bi brand recovery items! Eat them and you'll definitely be as awesome as me!"
Stopping and going at the Employees' stalls in the trading market, Mu Yang finally spotted an item and asked for its price.
"How many paradise coins is this thing?"
The male Employee looked at what Mu Yang pointed to, and held up the number 1 with his hand, meaning 10,000 paradise coins.
"A bit expensive, it's only green quality, how about 8,500?"
"9,800!"
After some bargaining, Mu Yang finally spent 9,200 paradise coins to buy his desired item.
[Purification Dew]
Quality: Green
Category: Recovery Item
Effect: When drunk or applied to wounds, it can eliminate negative effects such as poison, erosion, and corrosion caused by attacks.
Rating: 29
… … … …
9,200 paradise coins was indeed not a small amount, but this [Purification Dew] was indeed a good item.
All Contractors had experienced how disgusting negative statuses were and suffered greatly from them. Therefore, among the first few abilities a healing-type member of an adventure group would learn, there would definitely be a purification skill.
Aside from [Purification Dew], Mu Yang didn't buy any other recovery items. He still had quite a few, and the two bottles of [TXT Potion] he bought before entering the last derivative world hadn't even been used once.
"We're entering a derivative world again, that place is… hell!"
"Another one gone mad."
Because they were about to enter a derivative world, the Contractors walking around the trading market all looked anxious and nervous. There were also many like Mu Yang who were calm and composed, and some even looked forward to entering the derivative world quickly.
The former was the norm; Mu Yang's type were strong individuals who were confident they could survive and gain sufficient rewards.
As for the last type, they could be considered abnormal—strong and insane abnormals.
Sitting on a long bench, Mu Yang observed the Contractors coming and going, wondering what he was thinking about.
He didn't use the World Key immediately, but instead wanted to see what world Reincarnation Paradise had matched him with. If it happened to be Douluo Continent, then he could save this World Key.
Soon, the Paradise's notification sound rang in his mind.
[The Contractor will enter the derivative world: Akame ga Kill! in twenty-five minutes!]
"Holy cow, Food Wars! I'm rich!"
A loud shout came from afar, followed by a burst of wild laughter.
"What a lucky guy, that world can yield a lot of recovery items."
"Where's the luck? Food Wars is a martial arts-forbidden world. Aside from a few Employees, who would want to go to that broken place to learn cooking? Only Contractors who have received three consecutive C-rank or lower world evaluations will enter a martial arts-forbidden world."
"Then it's fine. Going to such a world is indeed a waste of time. The Paradise probably also thinks such people have no value, so they might as well go cook."
The person who shouted earlier was also a Lv.5 Contractor, otherwise he wouldn't have received the notification along with Mu Yang.
However, the world Mu Yang was matched with was Akame ga Kill, not Food Wars.
He did have some understanding of Akame ga Kill, after all, Su Xiao's alchemy was initially obtained in this world.
The power of alchemy was indeed beyond doubt, but unfortunately, the problem was too great; one couldn't learn too deeply, otherwise one would suffer a backlash.
Only by possessing the [Alchemy Grimoire] could alchemy have a path and opportunity for continued learning; otherwise, it couldn't be learned at all, but there seemed to be only one [Alchemy Grimoire].
As a result, the appeal of Akame ga Kill to Mu Yang dropped to an extremely low level.
[Simplified Zhuge Divine Crossbow]
Origin: Douluo Continent · Tang Sect
Quality: Green
Category: World Key
Effect: Can enter the derivative world — Douluo Continent II after use.
… … … …
[Do you want to use the World Key? After use, you will enter the Douluo Continent world.]
"Yes."
[The Contractor will enter the derivative world: Douluo Continent II in twenty-four minutes.]
After use, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Mu Yang's hand shattered into pieces and dispersed.
After about ten minutes, the trading square became even noisier, and some Employees who needed to enter a derivative world began to look for people to take them along.
When some adventure groups formed teams to enter a derivative world, they would choose to accept tasks to protect a group of Employees. This allowed them to earn money, build reputation, and even expand their connections, killing multiple birds with one stone.
The income from protecting Employees was not small, but Mu Yang planned to cause some trouble in the Douluo Continent, so it was not very convenient.
However, if someone from the Skywing Merchant Guild happened to enter with him, helping them out a bit would be fine.
"Douluo Continent II? Big Brother, Third Brother, how did we get matched into this kind of world?"
At some point, three burly men in golden armor appeared not far from Mu Yang.
"I don't know, Second Brother, how could I possibly guess the Paradise's thoughts?"
The brawny man called Big Brother scratched his head, unable to figure out why no matter how hard he tried.
"I can guess the Paradise's thoughts, but then again, it's a bit impossible for me to guess the Paradise's thoughts."
"Third Brother, why is your head pointy?"
Big Brother touched Third Brother's head, trying to find the pointiness on Third Brother's head.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, that man has been looking at us since just now. I feel like something's wrong."
Suddenly, Big Brother placed his hands on the shoulders of his two brothers, pressing their heads down, and whispered. But his voice was very loud, so even when he deliberately lowered it, Mu Yang could still hear what he was saying.
