The final form of the evolution of the Battle Godhead would have the bonus of a nine-stars power, and reach the final variant: Nine-stars Transformation!

This was what Chu You read on the official website from his past life. Now that he had already reached the one-star stage, with this ability, he could already do many seemingly impossible things.

Chu You felt invigorated. The higher the price, the better the quality. This physique was indeed incomparably awesome. When choosing the physique, if a more unlucky nouveau riche wanted to pick this physique, he reckoned that the amount he had to spend would far exceed 30 million.

At this moment, a special purplish-gold color astral pattern appeared at the space between his brows. This pattern seemed to be emitting a faint sense of mysteriousness and powerfulness. Together with Chu You’s ice-cold and irrational expression, suddenly there was an air of aloofness around him which left others in awe.

The surrounding NPCs took some time before they came to their senses. As the aborigines of the game, they would understand the most deeply. The air around Chu You that got revealed faintly left them in awe and terrified at the sight of him.

This practitioner who used to be normal…why did he suddenly possess this level of power? His whole aura changed completely, which left them shaking in shock.

“Oh…this, are…are you okay?” the post station leader asked in concern. It was just that he could not hide the shock in his eyes.

“Nothing, it’s just that my breathing was not stable just now. I’m okay now.” Chu You’s eyes had recovered back to their calm state.

“I’m glad that you’re alright. This is the reward for the mission. Take it.” The post station leader took out a belt and handed it to Chu You.

Seeing the belt in the post station leader’s hands, Chu You’s eyes lit up with joy. At the moment, accessory equipment was very hard to obtain. To be able to receive it at such an early stage of the game, it undoubtedly meant that he would have to wear it for a very long time.

System: Congratulations, you have obtained the mission reward, ‘Warding Off Evil belt.’

Chu You opened his bag and searched for its statistics.

Warding Off Evil belt: Red Vessel level: Attacking power +15, Critical hit damage +10, Critical hit +8. If worn together with the required equipment, the player will develop a defense enchantment in the form of resistance magic. This can cancel out one strike of magic attack. It will automatically cool down after 3 minutes. Players are required to be level 10 and above. Suitable for Warriors and Assassins to wear.

Seeing the properties of the equipment, Chu You felt satisfied. For someone with a melee occupation, this equipment was too awesome at present. Its direction was very strong. If used well, its passive technical abilities would be able to achieve its critical function.

“Thank you, I really like this thing.” As he finished his sentence, Chu You placed the equipment on his personal equipment board. Immediately, this belt appeared on the waist of Chu You’s character. One look and people could already tell that this was not an ordinary belt, and this was because of the slightly shiny gigantic green gemstone in the middle of the belt.

“No need to thank me, this is what you deserved. Practitioner, I see an air of evil around you. Did you go on a massacre of innocent players before?”

A look of uncertainty flashed past Chu You’s eyes, not understanding why the post station leader had asked him this question. His expression grew slightly serious.

“In our practitioner world, we respect strength and capabilities. There is no right or wrong. If you have killed before, it means you have killed before.”

“This…heaven has its own judgment. This is not something we can solve. But someone can help to cover up your air of evil.” The post station leader pointed out an alternative for Chu You.

Firstly, when a player killed another player, this would result in the State of Red Card. The party that initiated the killing would lose the opportunity to interact with official NPCs of the country within a short period of time. The only way to get rid of the State of Red Card was to kill the red name player. If not, you could only wait for it to be bleached with time.

To Chu You, he did not lack anything. The only thing was that he felt very pressed for time. As someone who was reborn, there were too many things that required him to seize the initiative. Now the only thing that was obstructing him was that he had to hurry and switch his occupation. And the NPC that he was faced with to change his occupation was precisely the official NPC of Yan nation.

Therefore, after hearing the other party’s words, Chu You was alarmed. In his original plan, he planned to level up by killing monsters while staying slightly near the open fields to remove his state of red card anyhow. Who could have thought that after experiencing a few favorable circumstances, he actually increased levels and met the requirements to change his occupation? That led Chu You to this awkward plight.

Chu You revealed a warm smile. This smile, paired together with his faint air of power, actually made a man wearing black clothing standing at the side feel extremely flattered. But no one noticed the change in the look of his eyes.

“Oh, I’m currently vexed about this too. May your excellency give me some pointers to guide me along.”

The post station leader tilted his head, looking at the mysterious figure dressed in a long robe standing not too far ahead. He said to Chu You, “That person might have a solution, because he is a member of the ‘Dark Cloud trading group.’ He just came here not too long ago to rest here temporarily. You can go and ask him.”

Chu You followed the post station leader’s gaze, only to see a mysterious person wearing a long grey robe standing in a small tent. His whole body was hidden by his long robe, it was hard to tell his features.

“Thank you so much, your excellency. I’ll make a move now.” Chu You bid his farewell.

“No problem, no problem. If not for your help, our losses would have been greater. Then, young hero, please do as you please.” Finishing his sentence, the post station leader led the people beside him to the ancient building.

Chu You looked the mysterious person up and down; he knew that he had met an outdoor mobile businessman NPC. To these sort of businessmen, the available things that they had for purchase were all very peculiar. Of course, they came with a hefty price too. In Heaven, the ‘Dark Cloud trading group’ was a huge but mysterious chamber of commerce. They had left their footprints across all big districts. It was very hard to spot them in the fields without a certain level of luck. This was because they appeared at a different place all the time. Usually, after players interacted with them, they would realize that the merchant was already gone after they returned back a few hours later. And even if you discovered them, not having enough gold coins on you would also result in awkward situations where you were short of money.

Therefore, this also led to some players developing bad intentions, wanting to rob them. However, if one wished to seize the other party’s goods by robbing them, that was not impossible. But one needed to ensure that he could kill the merchant off in one strike. If not, the other party would use his space tactic to disappear. Then, the player’s name would appear on the blacklist of the ‘Dark Cloud trading group.’ This meant that they would not sell any goods to this player anymore in this lifetime.

Chu You did not have this thought at all. Not in his past life, and definitely not in this lifetime. It was not worthwhile to take a risk for such a peanut-sized benefit. Although the other party was indeed very weak, and would not resist his attacks, he had the space moving in a flash reel. One flash was all it took for them to teleport a thousand miles away. Furthermore, Chu You did not have the confidence to be able to kill the businessman in a single strike.

The outdoor mobile merchant NPCs of the level 10 territory normally sold goods which did not require the players to have very high levels. Comparatively speaking, their gold coin price was not too expensive either.

Chu You came to the side of this small, short, mysterious merchant. The other party’s head only reached Chu You’s waist. He took a look at the other party, and realized that there was a design of a mystical beast resembling both a dove and a magpie on his left shoulder. This was the symbol of the ‘Dark Cloud trading group.’

Sensing that someone had come to his side, this merchant whose face was hidden inside a wide hat turned around and raised his head to look at Chu You.

Although the other party saw him, Chu You still could not see the facial features of the other party clearly. The area around his head was just pitch-black.

“Respectable guest, I smell the alluring fragrance of gold coins on you.” The other party’s voice was hoarse. After finishing its words, it still sniffed the air once.

Chu You knew that this was the trademark opening sentence of the other party. No matter if you had gold coins with you or not, he would say the same thing.

“What goods do you have that are worthy enough for me to buy?”

“Hehe, the goods that we, the Dark Cloud trading group, sell will make all our customers satisfied and surprised. That is our creed. The only thing to worry about is whether or not you can afford them.” The other party said this with extreme confidence.

“Hehe, show me your goods then.”

“It is very impolite to say hehe, I won’t say hehe again next time.” The other party seemed to be conflicted and to detest the term ‘hehe,’ as though ‘hehe’ had a spell attached to it. It made the extremely confident merchant feel belittled, and seemed to indicate the ill intent and haughtiness of the other party.

“Fine, open up your things. Let me take a look.” Chu You was somewhat speechless.

The mysterious merchant showed him a scroll, and grey air spouted out. It ultimately transformed into the form of a screen, and the goods for sale were displayed there. Seeing this, Chu You immediately started to select what he wanted.

There were not many goods inside, but the properties of the goods were very peculiar. The majority of the goods required the player to be level 10. Some even required level 15.

Not long afterward, Chu You found something that he wanted the most: ‘Mystical Bamboo Hat and Palm-Bark Rain Cape.’ Product description: Wearing the outfit will cover the evil index, obstructing the other party from probing. It can only be used three times. After three times, the good will automatically disappear. Priced at: 1000 gold coins. Requires players to be level 10 and above, suitable for all player occupations.

A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. Chu You turned off the product catalog.

“How is it, respectable guest? Did any product catch your eye?” the other party asked in a confident tone.

“Eh…the things are indeed not bad. I like them a lot.”

“Hehe, the products that we sell will definitely make people satisfied. We have never disappointed any customers before.”

“Hehe is very impolite, please don’t use hehe towards me next time.” Chu You took a glance at his space bag and said this indifferently.

“Hic…really sorry about that, I apologize. Then, please make a decision if you want to buy this good!” The other party smiled apologetically. It appeared to be that ‘hehe’ could only be used on others, yet he hated it when people used it on him.

“I’ve already made my decision. Every product that you have with you now, I’m buying it all,” Chu You said with a calm look.
