Chapter 2: Special Trial: Sin and Karma

Beep, beep...

Song Xian stopped his footsteps, and Luoshui was confused.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Song Xian took out a mobile phone; it was a phone that clearly carried a sense of age.

With a black and red color scheme, the upper part of the phone was a small display screen, emitting a dim yellow light;

the lower part, however, consisted of old-fashioned buttons, completely different from today's smartphones.

"It has been verified that Chu Qi, codenamed 【Phantom Sword】, ambushed and killed a squad under the 【Throne of Void and Reality】 last month during an unknown mission in the 【Pirate Derivative World】, and is suspected of seizing a special 【Card】, with its card face, type, and sequence all unknown."

"Currently, relevant departments have monitored that multiple squad members are gathering toward Binhai City, including elite squads under the 【Throne of Void and Reality】 and 【Blue Sky】."

"Divination indicates that 【Phantom Sword】 Chu Qi contacted Bai Cangshu in some form before his death; the specific content is unknown. The observation level for the individual 【Bai Cangshu】 is now raised to 【Dangerous】."

Luoshui saw her master looking at that special phone again and could only turn away; she knew that once she got involved in some things, it would be difficult to get out.

Song Xian pinched the bridge of his nose; he hadn't expected that he had misjudged the situation after all.

That kind of thing could not remain in Binhai City; it was too dangerous...

"Luoshui, you go back to the bureau first and pull out all of Bai Cangshu's life connections and detailed past resume."

Luoshui was startled, already understanding something, but still asked,

"Then what about you, Master?"

Song Xian stretched his shoulders and turned to look at the dormitory building in the distance.

"I have to find a way to communicate with Student Bai again, regarding his... transfer matters." — The moment Bai Cangshu clicked 【Yes】, the text before his eyes instantly transformed into a silver-white stream of information.

The world seemed to be infinitely stretched in his eyes; a massive amount of information surged into his brain in an instant, and countless images, smells, scents, and sensations crazily impacted his nerves.

Countless pieces of information finally turned into pure white, and countless perceptions finally caused Bai Cangshu to lose all perception.

【Selecting Trial World...】

【Detected that the Trial-taker is carrying a Special Item: Proof of Sin; trial is being modified】

【Special Trial: Sin and Karma has been activated】

Whoosh~ whoosh~ I don't know how much time passed, but a strong sound of wind accompanied by moist water vapor rushed straight into Bai Cangshu's senses, bringing his consciousness back into his shell bit by bit.

Bai Cangshu opened his eyes; the ceiling had exquisite wooden beams, which was the miraculous construction in ancient Chinese architecture known as the mortise and tenon structure, capable of building houses with both exquisite and sturdy characteristics without needing nails.

But unfortunately, this craft had already been gradually abandoned by the jungle of molten steel.

Am I no longer in a modern environment?

Bai Cangshu got up and found that what he was lying on was also a rather classical and simple wooden bed, and even the pillow was a solid wooden pillow.

The carved window was open, and the mountain wind outside, carrying water vapor, kept pouring in, making Bai Cangshu's spirit increasingly clear.

He knew that this was not a dream, but that the card had truly allowed him to enter the so-called "Infinite Dimension Adventure."

When the concept of "Infinite Dimension Adventure" appeared in Bai Cangshu's mind, his right palm suddenly became scorching hot; he lowered his head to look, and the 【Sin】 character on his palm was flickering in and out of existence.

【Number EX051 has regained consciousness; now beginning the first data calibration】

【Calibrating...】

【Calibration complete】

Text appeared before Bai Cangshu's eyes again; he tried closing his eyes, but that text still appeared in his mind.

Clearly, this was not so-called VR or AR technology, but something much more advanced.

【Number EX051】

【Codename: Bai Cangshu (Name determined by the Trial-taker's self-consciousness, can be modified)】

【Bloodline: Human (Black Iron Species, Native Species)】

【Talent: Calibrating... (Needs to be anchored through more adventure data)】

【Specialty: Street Fighting Lv3, Fist and Foot Mastery Lv4, Footwork Mastery Lv4】

【Basic Four-Dimensional Attributes】

Strength: 13 (5) (Constitution reflects individual physical quality, including muscle output capacity and explosive power; data in parentheses is the standard value for an adult male of this bloodline) Agility: 12 (5) (Agility reflects individual neural reaction capacity and physical flexibility) Constitution: 9 (5) (Constitution reflects individual tolerance, including tolerance to abnormal states) Spirit: 9 (5) (Spirit reflects individual mental power quality, including stamina tolerance and the intensity of spiritual energy) 【Hidden Three-Dimensional Attributes (Not displayed under normal conditions)】 Luck: 4 (5) (Reflects the probability of favorable outcomes when encountering accidental events; is an interval fluctuation value) Charisma: 14 (5) (Reflects the individual's attractiveness value within the mainstream aesthetics of the same race) Energy: 0 (0) (Reflects the individual's control intensity over energy) Bai Cangshu did not feel much surprise at the highness of his basic values; after all, he had already discovered that kind of thing since he was a child.

At the age of thirteen, during one "episode," he beat 7 adults into serious injuries; he had felt that he was different since that time.

Whether it was physical quality, psychological quality, or the angle from which he viewed things.

He once thought everyone should be the same as him, but in fact, everyone other than himself was too fragile, too weak.

So much so that everyone afterward would look at him with that kind of gaze mixed with fear and disgust, as if looking at an Outlier.

Because they were weak, they feared; because they were weak, they could not understand him, heh...

It was just that his bloodline being identified as some Black Iron Species, Native Species, made Bai Cangshu somewhat disappointed; he had originally thought that his kind of strength would be a matter of bloodline.

Knock, knock.

A knock on the door sounded at this moment; Bai Cangshu turned his head to look outside the door. Through the crack in the door, he could see a silhouette, but the other party had no intention of opening the door.

"Hey, time is almost up. Aren't you going to apprentice? Don't keep that person waiting; he is not a guy with a good temper, people will die!"

The person who came said this and then walked away cursing, and one could vaguely hear vulgarities like "a bunch of lunatics" and "wishful thinking."

【World loading complete】

……

A massive amount of information appeared before Bai Cangshu like a waterfall; Bai Cangshu discovered that although he could not touch this information, he only needed to focus his mind on a certain spot to receive an annotation.

This was a special privilege for trial-takers like him who were entering the space for the first time.

For example, when he fixed his gaze on 【Dragon Ball Derivative World S2653】 under the world type, he immediately received an explanation.

A Derivative World means this world is not the original Dragon Ball world, but a special world derived from Dragon Ball; the world's trajectory and plot development are not necessarily the same.

S2653 is the serial number of this Derivative World, and every Derivative World has a different serial number.

This S2653 was clearly a world newly generated for Bai Cangshu's trial, so it had not been interfered with by others, and everything remained almost in its original state.

"In other words, other Derivative Worlds have likely already been messed up by all sorts of so-called Reincarnators, right..."

The world of Dragon Ball, huh. Bai Cangshu stood up and searched the room slightly, but did not see anything useful, only a poster on the table that was glowing faintly.

Picking it up to look, the poster featured a middle-aged man with a sinister expression, wearing a long black braid and a pink Chinese-style robe, with the character "Kill" printed on his chest.

Tao Baibai! Bai Cangshu flipped the poster over, and rows of new handwriting began to appear on the back, the handwriting looking as if it had been written directly in blood.

【Special Trial: Sin and Karma】

【Mission 1: Obtain Tao Baibai's recognition and acquire any specialization.】

【Mission 2: Prevent Team 64323 from killing Tao Baibai.】

【Optional Side Mission: Cause Team 64323 to lose at least 1 member.】

【Failure Penalty: Erased.】
