In the C-area training hall of the summer camp, Mike was browsing the Mystic Market shopping app on his tablet inside the lounge.
“Little Nine, come look! This video is not only free, but they also give you a silver coin for watching it!”
Mike called Little Nine over to watch the video and casually clicked on the comments section. “Huh?”
A comment was pinned at the top.
[Anonymous User: Stupid Cedric, if you haven’t broken through to Ultimate Lord by the time I get back, you’re dead!]
Although it didn’t have many likes, this comment had a lot of replies.
Most people were wondering,
Who is this person? They even dare to curse the Vice Corps Commander of the Valor Sword Corps by name!
Anonymity really emboldens people.
The most surprising thing was that this comment was pinned by the seller.
The second comment was also a strange one.
[Anonymous Shadow Nine: Well done.]
Mike: “…”
So much for anonymity!
Wait!
Mike immediately realized, Shadow Nine and Calderon were online?
He hurriedly took out his Trade Secret Realm pass and contacted Foreskin.
Foreskin quickly replied, “Fourth Bro, Shadow Nine and Calderon did connect to the Mystic Market app in the Supreme Abyssal. They only watched one video, and then Calderon wrote an 8,000-word essay without any repetition… all cursing Cedric…”
Looking at Foreskin’s reply, Mike said in exasperation, “Those two old guys, they’re not helping!”
They finally got online, and instead of doing something productive, they were busy cursing people.
Thinking about it, it was understandable.
Shadow Nine and Calderon were in the Supreme Abyssal. Anything they bought couldn’t be delivered, and anything they sold couldn’t be shipped.
Their signal was intermittent, and they were offline most of the time.
The Mystic Market app was probably just a way for them to kill time.
Thinking of this, Mike felt the weight on his shoulders increase.
“For the sake of their cultural and entertainment needs, I must shoot more and better short videos, to serve the people, to entertain the people!”
Thinking this way, Mike felt instantly more noble.
He didn’t forget to shout to Ace, “That previous video sold for 200,000. Your 100,000 will be credited towards the equipment material cost!”
“Got it.”
Before lunchtime, Mike received a message from his private space.
“Force of Nature is almost reforged?”
Mike’s eyes lit up, his face full of joy.
The SSS-tier equipment, he had invested 550,000 Lord merits in it, and finally, it was time to reap the rewards!
“Little Nine, lend me your little piggy for a bit.”
Saying that, Mike grabbed Vladimir by the ears and vanished from the spot.
…
Inside the private space.
One person, one vampire, flying through the air.
“Master, do you know how I’ve been spending my days?!”
Vladimir shrieked,
“I’ve been eating, sleeping, playing games with a child, joining him in watching Tom chase Jerry around the tree…”
As he spoke, Vladimir’s voice gradually trailed off.
He suddenly realized something:
Being a pig wasn’t so bad?
Compared to his previous adventures with Thor…
Being a pig was quite a pleasant experience!
“Cut the crap, go shake the tree, it’s on me.”
Mike glanced at the Force of Nature and saw that it would take a few more minutes to finish upgrading, so he decided to check the Money Tree first.
Following Mike’s instructions, Vladimir went to the Money Tree and shook it with his hand.
A golden apple fell into his hand.
[Golden Apple: S-tier item. When Intelligence is below 100,000, consuming it increases Intelligence by 1,000 points. It can also remove some toxins from the bloodline.]
“Cool-”
Vladimir looked at the golden apple, his eyes filled with desire.
However, Vladimir knew very well.
This tree belonged to Thor, and the things it produced didn’t belong to him.
Even he, a vampire, belonged to Thor.
What Thor didn’t give him, he couldn’t take.
Mike glanced at the golden apple.
It was a good item, but unfortunately, it was useless to him.
Mike’s Intelligence had long surpassed 100,000, and there were no toxins in his bloodline.
After playing with it for a while, Mike tossed the apple back to Vladimir.
“This is your bodyguard fee for the next while.”
Little Nine needed a playmate and a guardian.
Although Vladimir wasn’t particularly strong, he was durable. Having him take the first hit in
case of danger wouldn’t be a problem.
“Thank you, Master!”
Vladimir caught the apple and swallowed it whole, without even chewing!
Back when the Blood River went berserk, all the blood clan powerhouses were contaminated
to varying degrees, and the effects lingered to this day.
Vladimir could never remove the toxins in his bloodline on his own.
The golden apple, as a special item produced by the Money Tree, could help Vladimir cleanse
the toxins.
After swallowing the golden apple, Vladimir let out a loud fart.
He said excitedly, “Master, guess what happened?”
Mike gave him a disgusted look, took two steps back, and asked,
“Did you poop your pants?”
“No!”
Ignoring the question, Vladimir said enthusiastically,
“I remembered the true origin of that old guy!”
“I don’t have time to listen to your stories right now.”
Mike interrupted coldly, motioning for Vladimir to stay away.
“Go take a shower and change your clothes. Come back and fool me after Force of Nature is
ready.”
Vladimir: “…”
“As you wish.”
Vladimir transformed into a bat and flew towards Mistveil Castle, farting all the way.
Exceeding emission standards.
Boom!
Not long after Vladimir left, the entire private space trembled slightly.
A black shadow flew out of Thor’s Sea and landed directly in Mike’s hand, still warm.
Lightning element, Nature element, Water element, Shadow element!
The SSS-tier equipment made from four elemental materials, after all the twists and turns,
was finally complete!
Mike couldn’t wait to open the attribute panel:
Equipment: Force of Nature (Lv. 300)
Tier: SSS
Spell Power: 36,000
Attributes: Intelligence +150,000, Spirit +90,000
Perks: [Level Adaptation]: Level increases with Thor’s Sea level.
[Thor Exclusive]: When held by Thor, all attributes +100%.
[Elemental Twinborn]: Lightning/Nature element spell effects +100%. When casting a Lightning spell, a designated Nature element spell is also cast, and vice versa.
[Ice Barrier]: Automatically generates an Ice Barrier when equipped, blocking the next
attack’s damage. One Ice Barrier is generated every 12 hours.
[Shadow Castle]: Summons a Shadow Castle. Shadows within the castle gain a special status.
Consumes corresponding materials during summoning.
“Wow-”
Looking at the reforged Force of Nature, Mike gasped, his scalp tingling.
Only one phrase could describe this SSS-tier equipment:
Absolutely terrifying!
