Chapter 40: Differentiation, Homogenization

"Brother! Father! Grandpa! Grandma! Ancestor!"

"Please, the child has finally found you!"

"Come, come, take a look at this, this one is very powerful! It's perfect for a handsome and dashing person like you!"

【Name: Forbidden Spell Scroll · Boom it!

Type: Magic-side · One-time consumable

Effect: Gathers ultra-high concentration fire elements and a faint "Concept of Yang," constructs a high-density magic fireball with a diameter of 50 kilometers, causing large-scale destructive magic strikes + micro-solar flare bombardment. If there is no obstruction, it can penetrate the planet's mantle layer, causing a series of geological structure change chain reactions until the planet's surface ecosystem is completely destroyed.

Producer: Player · I am a Magical Girl

Comprehensive evaluation: B+】

"Good quality and cheap! I fell in love with my ancestor at first sight, let's be sincere."

"One price, 3 B-rank origin crystals + 58888 Paradise Coins, just treat it as me losing money to make a friend!"

The drama-queen gothic loli gritted her teeth, tilted her little head to one side, and closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at the arm holding the scroll, as if she had lost a lot in this transaction.

Meng Yi wanted to speak but stopped, thought for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Do you sell the relevant knowledge of your magic system?"

"Huh?"

The gothic loli threw the scroll back onto the small table with a "whoosh" and cursed angrily: "Dream on! Buying someone else's fundamental system, are you thinking about farting!"

Meng Yi frowned: "Not even the most basic part?"

"Get out, get out, get out, get out! How far you can think, get out! I don't have time to talk to you!"

"Having mixed into the Fifth Rank, you don't even understand this point. I wish you an early escape from the dung pit Paradise and reincarnation!"

The irritable loli waved her hand impatiently, seemingly annoyed that Meng Yi had stirred up her business, or perhaps she felt that no oil could be squeezed out in the Fifth Rank area.

So she nimbly packed up the stall, summoned the mist vortex leading to the Fourth Rank leek field, shouldered her luggage, and hummed a little tune as she ran away.

The B-rank forbidden spell scroll she produced couldn't be sold, so she could use it herself or hoard it in the warehouse.

At worst, sell more cheap D-rank and C-rank goods, striving to win by quantity.

Seeming to dislike the lack of fun, the bad old silver coin player "cut" and scattered.

Because he had seen Meng Yi, the "new neighbor," in the residential area not long ago, and had just helped him solve the siege, one of the parties involved, the Cthulhu Master, crawled over with his tentacle body.

"Little brother, what should I call you? You are a newcomer who just promoted to the Fifth Rank, right?"

The dozens of mouths on the Cthulhu Master's body made sounds at the same time. The overlapping sharp noises were as unpleasant as they could be. A nail scratching a blackboard multiplied by one hundred times was not as bad as one ten-thousandth of the Cthulhu Master.

The tentacle monster stretched out a relatively clean tentacle, probably preparing to shake hands with Meng Yi to express his insignificant gratitude.

"..."

Psychological discomfort + physiological discomfort, Meng Yi followed his heart and didn't dare to take the deformed tentacle with more than a dozen eyes.

"Just heard them shouting 'Old Xu,' today I'll be big, let's call you 'Brother Xu'."

"Brother Xu"? This is good! Call me that from now on!"

"What should I call you, little brother?"

"Let's go, follow me to the 'Comprehensive Leisure Area,' I'm in a good mood today, I'll treat you to try the happiness of one hundred magical girls!"

Is this tentacle monster going to have trouble with magical girls in this life?

Meng Yi secretly complained, politely declined the Cthulhu Master's dashing invitation with a slightly apologetic nonsense.

"Brother Xu, just call me 'Black and White'."

"My cultivation system requires not being close to women, and I cannot do the yin-yang union before the cultivation is completed."

Everyone is showing off.

Meng Yi, who speaks ghost words to ghosts and human words to humans, didn't even reveal his real name, let alone his game ID "White Demon."

The Cthulhu Master waved his tentacles and pulled his third head, and the broken part quickly grew two brand-new octopus heads.

"My fault! My fault! Almost forgot."

"The cultivation-side and fantasy-side systems are troublesome. The mysterious cultivation methods, isn't it just that?"

The more you say, the more you make mistakes. To avoid exposure, Meng Yi changed the subject and asked curiously.

"Why does Brother Xu think I am a 'newcomer'? Is there any saying in it?"

The Cthulhu Master, who had relatively ample Paradise stay time, rarely met a player of the same rank who could talk, so he had the idea of chatting.

"This is not a place to talk, let's find a place to chat, I'll tell you about the unspoken rules that Fifth Rank players tacitly follow."

The tentacle monster shook his deformed tentacles and signaled Meng Yi to follow him.

The "Free Trade Area" not only has commercial streets, pawnshops, and auction houses, but also many miscellaneous places for rest and eating and drinking.

Coming to an exotic restaurant opened by a long-eared elf player, the two "people" ordered some food they liked.

Meng Yi, who had something to ask for, had a good eye, found an excuse to get up and pay the bill. A little over a hundred Paradise Coins were within Meng Yi's acceptable range.

Dishes from different worldviews were served.

Meng Yi stayed away from those dark-style dishes with indescribable appearances. He tasted the relatively normal food, and the taste was really not bad, and it had a weak nourishing effect on his D++ rank body strength.

"Brother Xu, tell me about it? What are the unspoken rules of Fifth Rank players?"

The Cthulhu Master stopped eating and drinking, and had the idea of showing off, laughing cheaply: "Little brother, the promotion dungeon from Fourth to Fifth Rank is not easy, right?"

Meng Yi, who was acting like a drama queen, looked up at 45 degrees, held his palm slightly, his shoulders couldn't stop trembling, closed his eyes slightly and sighed with empathy. The past was unbearable to look back on, and everything was in silence.

"Old Xu" laughed more and more happily, "Little brother Black and White, the times have changed!"

"According to the high-level monsters above, the Fifth Rank is the first watershed. Waste cannot live to the Fifth Rank, even if he X the Goddess of Luck, it's useless!"

"Little brother Black and White can pass the promotion dungeon, I think he must have walked out of his own system, rather than following the rules like those wastes."

The Cthulhu Master cleared his third and fourth throats.

"Let me give you an example. If someone wants to buy the system you summarized with great difficulty, do you sell it or not?"

"Only sell the basic part? What if someone studies means specifically aimed at you based on your foundation?"

The tentacle monster jumped off the chair and said earnestly: "Little brother Black and White, the knowledge of the Paradise is the cheapest and the most expensive."

"The Paradise doesn't mind players seizing what they need from derivative worldviews, and certifying massive knowledge is not worth a few coins. The Paradise will not stop players from exchanging their own fundamental systems."

"But!! The Paradise wants 'differentiation,' not 'homogenization'."

"All Fifth Rank players who participated in trading their own systems died in the dungeon without exception. Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone living a prosperous life."

"Perhaps the high-level sword graves and super-ultimate monsters above the Tenth Rank are different, but I don't know." ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
