Chapter 511: 494: Special WorldChapter 511: Chapter 494: Special World

Now, Mu Ying’s Player Manual displayed four Trial Worlds.

[Trial World]

[First•Square World]

[Second•Emerald World]

[Third•World of Gods]

[Special•Ten Thousand Worlds Trial]

Mu Ying pondered and decided to enter the “Ten Thousand Worlds Trial,” the special Trial World. “A world for Trialists” was a description that had attracted her attention. Since it was a world for Trialists, there should be a lot of them, right?

She closed her eyes.

[Character Creation Interface] (This world is quite special, character appearances can be freely changed)

[Top Pick: Season’s New Arrivals—Great Sage Chen Mian, Gelin Fairy, and Ghost Dog Master Hei Combination Limited Edition Set, collect all three appearances for a group purchase discount of 10%!!!] (100,000 Source Power)

[1. Real-life Appearance] (Free/Default)

[2. Black Cloak Appearance] (10 Source Power)

[3. Trial World Character Appearance] (100 Source Power)

[4. Custom Face-sculpting Appearance] (1,000 Source Power)

[5. Card Master Annie Skin] (5,000 Source Power)

...

This was the world with the most character appearance options Mu Ying had seen so far, and that [Top Pick] at the very front looked too much like an advertisement.

She also spotted a name she recognized, “Chen Mian.”

In this world, one could freely change character appearances as long as one was willing to spend Source Power, which seemed just like buying skins.

Only a fool would spend so much Source Power on these. Isn’t it better to save it? A hundred thousand Source Power would be enough for her to transform a Fragmented World.

Mu Ying was just mumbling when a red remark appeared behind the top pick: “Sold out!!!”

Well, there certainly were a lot of rich people.

Mu Ying didn’t spend a single Source Power and chose the first option, “Real-life Appearance.”

In a moment of bewilderment, her surroundings suddenly became noisy.

“The Great Sage’s appearance set is sold out again, and I still didn’t manage to get it!”

“Don’t even mention it, I’ve been lurking for two days, and it was gone in a second! I wonder if anyone in our city managed to grab one.”

“Forget it, let’s wait for the next quarter. I’m heading to the Trial Hall to see if there’s a suitable Trial World to go to.”

“Let’s go together, let’s go!”

“Selling a complete set of Sword Immortal Profession secret manuals from the Immortal Demon World, not for 10,000, not for 1,000, just for 998!!!”

“Urgently buying entry tickets to the Ocean World Trial, price negotiable!”

“Friends who drew the Heavenly Battle World, quickly gather at 7th Ring, No. 1127 to discuss our trial strategy, and fight for the glory of our Multiverse!”

...

Mu Ying was momentarily stunned. Although everyone was speaking Universal Language, there were many unfamiliar terms she didn’t quite understand.

However, she wasn’t too surprised by the bizarre outfits and peculiar looks of the passersby; given the character creation page she had seen earlier, everyone’s appearance was merely a matter of personal preference.

The surroundings looked like a bustling marketplace, with neatly arranged stalls lining the road where many people were hawking their wares.

Her gaze fell on a nearby stall; it was the one selling Sword Immortal Profession secret manuals. The seller was still shouting loudly about professions like Alchemist, Magic Cultivator, Forging Master, and so forth.

Not a single person stopped at the stall, but as Mu Ying listened to these profession names, she felt intrigued.

It sounded like a world of immortal cultivation, and in Mu Ying’s understanding, such a world’s cultivation system indeed had very high limits.

The stall owner’s appearance was also befitting of a sage—dressed in a Taoist robe, hair tied in a bun, with the complexion of a youth despite his white hair.

Jon was enthusiastically promoting his wares. He wasn’t discouraged by the lack of customers, and when he saw a female elf trialist looking his way, he thought, “Ah, that look, creating an elf image must have used up quite a bit of Source Power. She must be wealthy!”

There were plenty of good-looking people around, but who knows if a beautiful woman might actually be a grimy big man behind the screen.

Locking eyes with her, Jon sensed a whiff of naivete from a seemingly rich newbie.

“My beauty, are you interested? These Professional Secret Manuals can take you straight to Divine Rank, they’re specialties from the Third Trial World, honest to all ages. You can have a free peek at the first two pages! At 998 a book, the price is really very fair!” Jon quickly called out to her.

Mu Ying actually walked over, driven by curiosity. Since she could take a free look, why not do so and see if they were as she expected.

“Pah! 998 and you claim honesty? Are you planning to run off after making a sale? Don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you’ve changed your appearance. Humph, if it weren’t for the no-fighting rule here, I’d beat you up!”

A girl with wheat-colored skin, sporting a spirited short haircut, grabbed Mu Ying and started berating Jon.

Upon seeing this tomboy, Jon felt infuriated, “You again! Will you ever stop? How am I deceiving people? Every word I say is true!”

“Then why don’t you say that without the unique constitution from your Trial World, all this stuff is just scrap paper?” the short-haired girl argued fiercely. “Let me tell you, I’ve been hanging around the Low Ring Region these past few days. You better stop selling, or else I’ll scold you every time I see you, to make sure you don’t scam anyone else!”

...

Jon, enraged and itching for revenge, feared his cooked duck might fly away again. This tomboy had already spoiled several of his deals, “Bad luck! Just you wait!”

After saying that, he quickly packed up his things and disappeared.

“Hey!” Mu Ying wanted to call out to him, but he was already gone without a trace. She hadn’t even seen the book yet!

“Are you silly, or what? I already told you he’s a scammer. You’re not still thinking about buying, are you? In the Ten Thousand Worlds Trial, nine out of ten sellers of Profession Cultivation Secret Manuals are scammers, especially those promising Divine Rank at the outset with a price below a thousand Source Power. Each Trial World’s cultivation core pathways are different. You can’t just cultivate by getting a manual. If you really could, it would cost at least a hundred thousand Source Power to start, and even then it might not be available for purchase. Remember, cheap goods are never good quality! I was cheated badly in the beginning,” the short-haired girl explained, seeing Mu Ying’s continued interest in the manual.

“I just wanted to see what the cultivation system of another Trial World looked like, not to buy it,” Mu Ying replied helplessly, aware that to take on a new profession, she would need the right qualifications, which were rather complex. It wasn’t as simple as just picking up a manual; the Witch profession was a case in point—it required a Witch Bloodline.

“As long as you weren’t fooled, that’s good. Just remember, although everyone is struggling in the Trials for the sake of the Multiverse, Source Power gained from Trials and existing usable Source Power are not the same. We may unite for the Universe’s cause during Trials, but in this Multiverse City, there’s no shortage of tricks and swindles. You’re a newcomer, right? Don’t rush to browse these mixed-quality stalls. First, head along this road to the center to register at the Trial Center. It’s best to understand what’s going on here before you consider trading carefully,” the short-haired girl kindly advised before leaving.
