Chapter 40: Differentiation, Homogenization

~7 min read 1,335 words

"Brother! Godmother! Grandpa! Grandma! Ancestor!"

"Please, take care of the child's business! I finally found you!"

"Come, come, come, take a look at this, this one is very strong! It is just suitable for you, who are handsome and dashing!"

[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 mantle layer of the planet, causing a series of chain reactions of geological structure changes, until the surface ecosystem of the planet is completely destroyed.

Producer: Player · Old Lady is a Magical Girl

Comprehensive Evaluation: B+]

"It's cheap and good! I met 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 lolita 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, pondered for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Do you sell the related knowledge of your magic system?"

"Huh?"

The gothic lolita threw the scroll back to the small table with a 'swoosh,' and cursed with bristling hair: "Go do your spring and autumn dreams! Buying someone else's fundamental system, what are you thinking!"

Meng Yi frowned: "Even the most basic one won't work?"

"Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll! How far can you roll, just roll as far as you can! Old lady has no time to talk to you!"

"Having mixed into Tier 5, you don't even understand this point. I wish you an early escape from the manure pit Paradise and reincarnation!"

The irritable lolita waved her hand impatiently, seemingly annoyed that Meng Yi had disrupted her business, or perhaps she felt that she couldn't squeeze oil out of the Tier 5 area.

Thus, she nimbly packed up the stall, summoned the mist vortex leading to the Tier 4 leek field, carried her luggage, and ran away humming a little tune.

The B-rank forbidden spell scroll produced could not be sold, but it could be used by herself or hoarded in the warehouse.

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

Seeming to dislike the lack of fun, the bad-hearted old silver coin players dispersed.

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

"Little brother, what should I call you? You are a newcomer who just promoted to Tier 5, right?"

Dozens of mouths on Cthulhu stunt brother's body spoke at the same time, and the overlapping sharp noises were as ugly as they could be. A nail scratching a blackboard multiplied by one hundred times was not as bad as one ten-thousandth of Cthulhu stunt brother.

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 did not dare to take the deformed tentacle with more than a dozen eyes.

"Just heard them call 'Old Xu,' today I'll be big, let's call the brother 'Xu brother'."

'Old Xu' upgraded to 'Xu brother,' Cthulhu stunt brother was in a good mood.

"Xu brother? This is good! Just call me that in the future!"

"What should the brother call himself?"

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

Is the tentacle monster going to have a hard time with magical girls in this life?

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

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

"My cultivation system requires not to be close to women. Before the cultivation method is completed, I cannot do that yin-yang harmony."

Everyone is showing off.

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

Cthulhu stunt brother waved his tentacles to blow up his third head, and the broken part quickly grew two brand-new octopus heads.

"Blame me! Blame me! Almost forgot."

"The systems of the immortal side and the fantasy side are troublesome. The mysterious cultivation method, isn't it just that?"

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

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

Cthulhu stunt brother, who had a relatively abundant stay time in the Paradise, rarely met a Tier 5 player who could chat, so he had the idea of chatting.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's find a place to chat well, and I will tell the brother about the unspoken rules that Tier 5 players tacitly follow."

The tentacle monster shook his deformed tentacles, signaling Meng Yi to follow him.

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

Coming to an exotic restaurant opened by an elf player with long ears, the two 'people' ordered some things they liked to eat.

Meng Yi, who had something to ask for, was very sensible, found an excuse to get up and pay the bill, and more than a hundred Paradise Coins were within Meng Yi's affordable range.

Dishes from different worldviews were served.

Meng Yi kept away from those dark-style dishes that were hard to describe. He tasted the relatively normal food, and the taste was really not bad, which had a weak nourishing effect on his D++ rank body strength.

"Xu brother, tell the brother, what are the unspoken rules for Tier 5 players?"

Cthulhu stunt brother stopped eating and drinking, had the idea of showing off, and laughed cheaply: "Brother, the promotion dungeon from Tier 4 to Tier 5 is not easy, right?"

Meng Yi, possessed by a drama queen, looked up at forty-five degrees, his palms clenched slightly, his shoulders couldn't stop trembling, his eyes closed slightly, and he sighed with empathy. The past was unbearable to look back on, and everything was in silence.

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

"According to the high-level monsters above, Tier 5 is the first watershed. Waste cannot live to Tier 5, even if he is lucky enough to be with the Goddess of Luck!"

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

Cthulhu stunt brother cleared his three or four throats.

"Let me give you an example. If someone wants to buy the system you summarized after much hard work, do you sell it or not?"

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

The tentacle monster jumped down from the chair and said earnestly: "Black and White brother, 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 much money. The Paradise will not stop players from exchanging their fundamental systems."

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

"All Tier 5 players who participated in trading their own systems died in the dungeon without exception. Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone living well."
