Above the mountain peak, fierce winds howled, while the waterfall roared without cease.
"Little Fatty really didn't lie to me..."
After recalling his past memories, Yun Shenwei slowly opened his eyes and turned to glare fiercely at the two of them.
Though he had remembered what happened in the past, he would rather never have remembered it.
"Ah... my lifelong reputation!"
Whenever Yun Shenwei thought about how, as children, he had followed these two weirdos to peek at their senior sisters bathing, blow up cesspits, and do all sorts of ridiculous things... he wanted nothing more than to throw them off the waterfall.
Fortunately, he had a fairly strong mental fortitude. Otherwise, these two would probably have gotten another beating today.
"S-S-Senior Apprentice Brother, have you remembered our childhood?"
Skinny Stick trembled under his glare and cautiously asked. He deliberately emphasized the words "childhood," and it was already impressive that he could still speak. Little Fatty beside him had been frightened senseless and was playing dead with his eyes shut...
"Since we grew up together, I'll let this slide. Niu Xuante, Xin Daorong, say what you have to say. Spit it out. I don't have time to waste here with you."
Yun Shenwei could not be bothered wasting time with these two lecherous men. The aura of a One-Star Dou Shi burst from him as he spoke decisively.
"Don't get worked up, don't get worked up!"
The moment Little Fatty Xin Daorong heard Yun Shenwei remember his name, he snapped his eyes open. His round body rolled across the ground like a ball several times before he sprang up and kicked Skinny Stick beside him. Only then did he ingratiatingly say, "We came to find you because something important happened. Senior Apprentice Brother, you have to agree to help us."
He blinked hard, trying his best to put on what he thought was a kind smile. Combined with his dark skin, he looked exactly like a little black piglet.
"Get lost!"
Yun Shenwei hated noisy people the most. With a raised hand, he sent Xin Daorong flying with a slap, then turned to Skinny Stick and lifted his chin. "Niu Xuante, you tell me."
"Uh... we really did come to ask for your help over something important. It was an accident that we saw you on your date before. You know that the Glorious Trio was originally formed because of pranks."
Niu Xuante explained awkwardly, terrified that Yun Shenwei would hold a grudge over the peeping incident. Little Fatty, who had been slapped several meters away, rolled back over. Just as he wanted to speak, he saw Yun Shenwei's ferocious glare and immediately gave a dry cough, pretending to be innocent.
"A few days ago, an unfamiliar young man came to the sect. Xin Daorong and I thought he was a new disciple, so we went to prank him. First, we dumped a basin of crap over his head, then we burned his bundle. Later, we found out that this guy was actually a newly accepted disciple of Pill King Gu He. His name is Liu Wen..."
Niu Xuante continued, "That Liu Wen insisted there was an alchemy formula Senior Gu He had given him in that bundle. He said that if we didn't compensate him, he would go complain to Senior Gu He. Senior Apprentice Brother, you know that Senior Gu He comes to our Yun Lan Sect every few days and has a very good relationship with Sect Master Yun Yun. If he complains, the two of us will be kicked out of the Yun Lan Sect!"
"That's right, that's right, Senior Apprentice Brother, you have to help us! We've been playing together naked since we were little. Even though we often blew up cesspits and peeked at female disciples as kids, we're still tight! If you don't help us this time, then when we get kicked out, we might accidentally let something slip."
For some reason, Xin Daorong found his courage and chimed in, intentionally or otherwise making a threat. After speaking, he widened his eyes, wearing an expression that said, That's my attitude, deal with it.
"Fuck, these two weirdos actually messed with Pill King Gu He's disciple. That's just incredible."
After hearing them out, Yun Shenwei kept shaking his head.
Within the Gama Empire, the name Pill King Gu He was known to practically everyone. These two had offended Gu He's disciple, dumped crap on him, and even burned an alchemy formula. They were beyond ridiculous.
At that moment, the voice of the Extraordinary Romance System suddenly sounded, and time stopped along with it.
Main Quest triggered. Please make a choice, Host! Choice 1: Refuse them immediately. Penalty: The Host will lose their current cultivation realm! Choice 2: Agree to help them. Reward: 100 Multiverse Coins. Note: Multiverse Coins can be exchanged for items in the Multiverse Shop.
"Choice 2!"
Without even thinking, Yun Shenwei agreed. If he could avoid refusing the Extraordinary Romance System's tasks, then he would. In any case, accepting them would not put him at a disadvantage.
Main Quest in progress. Multiverse Shop Coins have been automatically credited. As the Host has not used the Multiverse Shop before, the system has automatically activated Guidance Mode.
Yun Shenwei felt his vision blur. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to be standing within an endless sea of stars, with countless palm-sized stars floating around him.
He casually picked up one of the stars. Before he could examine it closely, the palm-sized star turned into a jade slip.
"Nine Heavens Emperor Profound Art, high Earth-tier. Suitable for Metal Attribute cultivators. 10,000 Multiverse Coins."
After hovering for only a few seconds, the jade slip flew out of Yun Shenwei's hand. Seeing this, he grabbed another passing star. The items displayed within were either cultivation techniques, Dou Skills, or medicinal pills... They basically covered every type of item in the Battle Through the Heavens World, and many even came from worlds across the multiverse.
"Too expensive! I can't afford it..."
Yun Shenwei released a golden longsword and watched as it transformed back into a star and gradually drifted away, unable to help feeling disappointed.
At that moment, the river of stars before him began to turn. A light screen appeared, listing the items he could currently afford.
Exploding Chili, first-grade medicinal pill. Increases Fire Attribute cultivation speed after use. Maximum usable realm: Dou Shi. Price: 1 Multiverse Coin. Happy Whip, low Profound-tier. Made from the tendons and bones of a Happy Beast. Anyone struck by it will laugh wildly for ten minutes. Price: 5 Multiverse Coins. Dou Qi Bomb, one-time consumable. Can injure a One-Star Da Dou Shi. Using more than 10 increases its damage by one star. The maximum damage stack is One-Star Dou Ling.
Yun Shenwei looked at the dazzling array of goods before him, unsure what to choose. Just then, he suddenly spotted an item, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Basic Alchemy. Effect: Master all methods for refining first- to second-grade medicinal pills. During the sale, only 38 Multiverse Coins."
"This thing is awesome. If I buy it, I'll basically become a second-grade alchemist. Doesn't that brat Liu Wen want compensation? Fine, I'll compensate him. Hahaha..."
Yun Shenwei's mood instantly brightened. Without another word, he bought it. Not only that, he felt as though a broad path toward wealth and prosperity had appeared before him.
After browsing the Multiverse Shop for a while longer, he saw many interesting items. He even found Dou Qi experience points. The goods were great, but the prices were there for all to see. After considering things from every angle, he could not bring himself to buy anything else and decided to see how things went next time. After all, Multiverse Coins had to be spent where they mattered most. What if he spent them all now and another high-difficulty mission came along?
After Yun Shenwei withdrew from the space, time resumed. Niu Xuante and Xin Daorong were looking at him anxiously, and he immediately said:
"No problem. I can agree to help you."
