Custom Mask

Having fully recovered from the emotional pain, it was already late at night.

Stepping out of the room, the living room lights were on.

I didn't see Chi Yan, but I did see a glass of juice and a few pieces of cake on the table.

"I sensed you were building your world, so I didn't disturb you. I left you some food in the living room. I have something to take care of and won't be back today."

Shen Hui took out his phone and saw the message Chi Yan had left for him.

I tossed my phone onto the sofa, then threw myself onto it, thoroughly enjoying the softness of the sofa.

Shen Hui sensed a feeling he had never experienced before from Chi Yan... perhaps it was kinship.

Shen Hui wasn't sure either; maybe.

Stopping his thoughts, Shen Hui began to consider tomorrow.

"Now that the world is complete, it's time to move on to the underground market."

"If anything happens, I'll have enough confidence to back me up."

"I just don't know if we can lure the Giant God Cult out."

Sitting up from the sofa, Shen Hui quickly ate and drank the things Chi Yan had left for him.

The next morning, just as Shen Hui was about to get out of bed, Ye Long called.

"Brother Shen, are you up? Let's go together to complete the formalities for the Starry Sky Leaderboard."

"After we're done, let's invite a few friends and go to the Nine Phoenix Pavilion to celebrate!"

Hearing Ye Long mention Nine Phoenix Pavilion on the other end of the phone, Shen Hui's lips twitched.

"You really aren't afraid, going to the Nine Phoenix Pavilion to celebrate again."

"I don't have time today, and I'll have to wait a day or two to complete the procedures for the Starry Sky Leaderboard."

"Just celebrate your trip."

"No way, Brother Shen, what's wrong? You seem so busy. Do you need any help? Just let me know if you need anything."

"Xiao Xiangyan and Qingxue can both free up their hands."

"I won't hesitate to ask for your help with small things; I'll come to you when I'm busy."

"Alright, then let's celebrate again next time when Brother Shen is done with his work."

Beep beep beep...

After hanging up the phone with Ye Long, Shen Hui quickly got dressed and got out of bed.

After buying another set of clothes outside, putting on a mask and hood, Shen Hui took a taxi to the market again.

Although it's still early, the market is already packed with people.

These people are mostly there for the early morning market, where some items are relatively inexpensive.

Shen Hui stood outside the market entrance, looking at the red banner still hanging there.

This is a signal sent to Shen Hui.

The challenge in the underground market has been scheduled, and all that's left is for Shen Hui to go and see the details.

Having learned from his first experience, Shen Hui arrived at the tea shop with ease this time.

The waiter inside had changed, but after seeing the membership card Shen Hui took out...

They quickly made Shen Hui pay the money, and then led him to the room leading to the underground market.

The secret passage opened, Shen Hui followed it down. After being checked once, he quickly arrived at the underground market.

There weren't many people in the underground market. After walking around twice, Shen Hui finally arrived at the dueling arena.

Although Shen Hui's current outfit is different from the last one.

But the membership card in hand has become a symbol of status.

Without any obstruction, they let the Shen Hui in directly.

The manager seemed to have received the message as well, and immediately came out from one of the rooms inside.

"Hey, boss, you're here."

"The battle you requested is ready; your opponent is also a creator from a world of equal power to yours."

"What kind of Creation World does the other side have?"

Shen Hui followed the usual procedure and asked the question.

"Well, that's not something I can reveal. After all, the other party doesn't know about your Creation World, right?"

"However, boss, there's something I need to tell you. This time, our opponent is from the Edge Gang."

"Although I don't know your identity, the Edge Gang is a very large underground organization."

"We cooperate with many powerful forces, helping them handle their shady dealings."

"While ensuring victory, don't be too ruthless, otherwise I'm afraid their gang might..."

"Of course, you can also refuse this invitation."

Shen Hui raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The Edge Gang?"

"I understand. Make the arrangements. I accept the challenge."

Shen Hui wasn't involved in the underground world, so naturally he had no idea about gangs or factions.

But if they dare to cause me trouble, then I'm not afraid.

Especially in this Real World.

Seeing that Shen Hui agreed, the manager's tone softened considerably, and he became much more excited.

"Boss, if you agree, everything is settled. If you're available tonight, how about we start at eight o'clock?"

"No problem, I'll come ahead of time."

Shen Hui left the underground dueling arena, and the manager began spreading the word to attract more people to watch tonight's dueling challenge.

As for the ticket price, it will naturally be several times higher.

However, this has nothing to do with Shen Hui.

Shen Hui didn't leave the underground market; instead, he wandered around inside.

The number of people inside gradually increased, all of them disguised as people selling or buying things.

Shen Hui stopped by a shop located in the underground market.

This is where they sell masks and robes.

Touching his face, Shen Hui felt it was necessary to update his mask and sunglasses.

Otherwise it would be too stingy, after all, it's not like we're short of money.

"Boss, how much are the masks?"

Inside the shop was a burly man wearing a plain white mask.

A muffled voice came from beneath the mask.

"This type starts at 10,000, this one at 50,000, and if you want a custom order, it'll be 100,000."

Although the masks here are all three-dimensional.

But Shen Hui felt it was too heartless.

"Don't worry, these masks are special products, utilizing a small amount of technology extracted from the Creation World. They are guaranteed not to fall off, and you definitely can't buy them anywhere else."

Seemingly noticing Shen Hui Shen Hui's hesitation, the shopkeeper spoke to him.

Shen Hui thought for a moment, "If it's custom-made, how long will it take to produce?"

Two hours.

"Then I'll have a custom one."

"Please tell me your requirements in detail, and I'll draw a sketch for you to review first."

Shen Hui thought for a moment and then said:

"On the forehead, there's a row of eyes, where the eyes used to be replaced by mouths. Below are fine Tentacles, and the mouths have been replaced by slits, revealing the heart. And next to that..."

The boss fell silent as he listened to Shen Hui's story.

"By the way, the color scheme is black, gray, and red."

"How about it? Can you make it?"

The silent boss glanced at the sketch in his hand and finally spoke.

Are you feeling alright?

Shen Hui was a little confused by his words, but spoke with great confidence.

"Of course, it's never been this good."

Come pick it up in two hours.
