Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Red Hidden Era

After a day in the Little Spirit Realm, two hours in reality, the five-person team walked out from the Little Spirit Realm. The first three had incredibly excited smiles on their faces; this time, their gains were much better than before.

”Brother Qiu, your aura is incredible! I didn’t even take any medicine during the fight, saved a lot of money!” Lei Peng said excitedly with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, to speed up material acquisition during battles and achieve greater profits, Lei Peng and others would use potions to replenish their life and spiritual energy while exploring the Little Spirit Realm to improve combat efficiency.

However, good potions aren’t cheap and require a significant number of spiritual points to purchase. Although overall profits are higher, the consumption of potions is not a negligible number.

Indestructible, not only substantially enhances their endurance during battles, it also saves them from spending spiritual points on other potions, significantly reducing combat consumption and boosting their combat gains greatly.

Because of this, even if Ye Mingqiu sat on the side reading a book, he could be playing with walnuts or walking a bird near the battle area. As long as this great father’s Immortal Aura was present, he was the man.

”Hey, it’s nothing, I’m just providing you with the aura effect. The fighting is all done by you, I didn’t really contribute much.” Ye Mingqiu said modestly with a smile.

”No way, you contributed a lot! Do you know how much our earnings increased this time?”

”How much?”

”Three times, tripled! Full three times!”

Lei Peng said with overwhelming excitement, continuing, ”Because of your aura and control and enchantment, we defeated many bosses we couldn’t before. And the fighting frequency was higher with almost no potion consumption, it was simply amazing! Please come to me if you ever need people for Spirit Realm trials!”

”I’ll try my best.”

Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile, then asked, ”So how much did we earn this trip?”

”Quite a lot, over a thousand spiritual points, dividing it gives each of us three to four hundred, almost covering a trip to the Spirit Realm.” Lei Peng answered.

”Oh, that’s quite a bit.”

Ye Mingqiu replied politely.

”I’ll handle the stuff, in a couple of days I’ll transfer the spiritual points to you, don’t refuse, it’s what you deserve.” Lei Peng said, patting Ye Mingqiu’s back with one hand.

”Alright.”

....

Two days later, Sunday.

Ye Mingqiu took out the Blood Soul Revenge that Tang Ruobing had given him at home, a special item that forcibly transports the user to the Spirit Realm for a trial.

He checked, the world brought by Blood Soul Revenge, the Red Hidden Era, is a highly regulated low-level world. For Level 1 Spiritualists, it’s only at Difficult Level, not highly dangerous, while the rewards are decent, making it a fairly good world.

However...

If it’s just at Difficult Level, the rewards are still a bit too low!

[You have used the item - Blood Soul Revenge]

Instantly, several blood-red tentacles emerged from the void, tightly wrapping around Ye Mingqiu, dragging him into the void and pulling him into the Spirit Realm - Red Hidden Era dimension.

...

[Entered world - Red Hidden Era]

[Difficulty Level: Hell Level]

Hint: The original difficulty was Difficult Level, but your early arrival has angered the Blood-colored Venerable, significantly increasing the world difficulty to Hell Level.

Blood-colored Venerable?

Ye Mingqiu’s eye twitched a little, feeling a bit scared inside. If the Hell-level Red Hidden Era world is like the Fall of Chaoge before, possessing a Dominator-level strong being, then the Blood-colored Venerable is very likely that Dominator-level entity. Provoking a Dominator right from the start, how can I possibly survive?

Introduction: In human society, there is a kind of blood-colored monster lurking among humans. Normally, they have an appearance indistinguishable from humans and only reveal their terrifying true form to some people when they need to feed.

[Main Quest]

First Step - Initial Entry

Quest Objective: Find a place to settle, or a faction to join in the Red Hidden Era world. You can choose to join either the blood-colored monster faction or the human faction.

Time Limit: 3 hours

Quest Reward: 200 spiritual points

Quest Penalty: All Attributes -2

The familiar sensation of time-space transmission gradually faded. When Ye Mingqiu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange city, with heavy rain pouring down and occasional thunderclaps sounding.

Ye Mingqiu carefully observed and found himself squatting in a corner of a small alley.

He slowly stood up and walked out of the alley, seeing a splendid world of bustling prosperity. The brilliant lights flashing illuminated the night.

According to the guide, although the Red Hidden Era world is at Difficult Level, there is always the risk of being attacked and killed by blood-colored monsters, but as long as you remain among people, in public, no monster will dare to attack since they are like gutter rats, unable to withstand the light.

Although on the surface there are two factions available for joining, the human faction or the blood-colored faction, how could Ye Mingqiu, a pure-blooded human, possibly integrate with the monsters? Even if he actively joined, would those monsters be willing to accept him?

Being surrounded and killed would be a more likely outcome.

I need to head to a place with more people first!

....

Two minutes later, Ye Mingqiu entered a café, seated himself by the window, and looked out at the rain-drenched world, feeling the indoor warmth, but not finding peace of mind.

”Young man, may I ask what you would like to drink?”

An elderly white-haired man approached with a kind smile on his face. Although he was old, his clothes were neat and clean, without a single crease, making him appear very pleasant.

”A hot latte.”

Ye Mingqiu responded.

Soon, the elderly man brought the latte with a smile, steadily putting it in front of him, saying, ”Please enjoy.”

”Thank you.”

Ye Mingqiu expressed gratitude as he drank the hot latte while watching the environment outside. He felt a slight sense of calm, yet there was an inexplicable unease. He didn’t know why he felt this way, but overall it just felt very uncomfortable.

Soon, after finishing the latte, Ye Mingqiu reached for his pocket, only to ”surprisingly discover” he hadn’t brought any money. So, he turned to the kind old man, awkwardly scratching his head and said, ”Um... Grandpa, I forgot to bring money today, can I work to pay for this latte?”

The old man slightly frowned, pondering for a moment, and eventually smiled, saying, ”Alright, as long as you help me work for an hour, it will be enough.”

”Thank you! Thank you so much!”

Ye Mingqiu smiled happily and asked, ”What will I primarily be responsible for? Can I wear this casual outfit as it is? Rest assured, I will work diligently!”

”Haha.”

The white-haired old man said with a smile, ”No need to change clothes, just help with carrying things and cleaning the café. After all, a cup of latte isn’t worth much.”

”Understood.”
