The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 531 An Attempt! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the magnificent temple, an ancient and mottled bronze table rests quietly.

Mr. Fool was shrouded in a thick gray-white fog, while Ms. Justice and the Hanged Man remained indistinct.

A faint mist lingered around Mu Sheng's head, concealing his true appearance.

'This guy really does have some kind of connection with Source Castle!'

Before the main seat at the bronze table, Klein's face, hidden beneath the gray-white mist, twitched involuntarily.

He was quite certain that he hadn't summoned the crimson star belonging to 'Power', but the other party still came up anyway.

Miss Justice was curious as to why Mr. Power hadn't come to the last gathering, and even her worries, anxieties, and confusion eased considerably.

Who could understand the intense shock she felt when she discovered her pet dog and Susie suddenly spoke?

Even now, she still can't quite believe that Susie has actually spoken.

Alger Wilson, the "Hanged Man," didn't react much; he simply sat quietly in his seat.

'It's a bit of an eyesore.'

Mu Sheng frowned as he looked at the mist in front of him, then casually waved his hand, and the grayish-white mist instantly dissipated.

His actions caused the expressions of the three people who had been observing him to change immediately.

Mr. Fool's expression of astonishment only confirmed his earlier suspicions.

However, he was very skeptical whether the face revealed by 'Power' was real.

This face is so handsome, with fair and jade-like skin, three-dimensional features, and a clear outline, resembling a dashing young man from the 1980s.

He's so handsome it's almost unreal!

If Mu Sheng knew what Klein was thinking, he would probably just laugh at his ignorance. In the world before he transmigrated, there were many people who loved reading and had even more handsome appearances.

While 'The Hanged Man' Alger Wilson and 'Miss Justice' Audrey were amazed by Maki's appearance, they were more curious and surprised.

Curious about how Mr. 'Strength' managed to do it, Ms. 'Justice' even tried to do the same thing, but failed.

They were also surprised that Mr. 'Power' dared to reveal his true face. Wasn't he afraid that his true identity would be exposed?

Or perhaps he's confident because even if his true identity is exposed, it won't put him in danger.

It should be the latter, right?

Alger thought to himself, "The Hanged Man." After all, Mr. "Power" had said that he could handle any extraordinary being below the level of a demigod.

Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'!

Mu Sheng first performed a gentlemanly hat-tipping gesture towards Klein, who was seated at the head of the bronze table.

The latter silently rolled his eyes in response to his teasing.

Then Mu Sheng looked at Miss 'Justice' and the 'Hanged Man'.

"Two more people, good afternoon. Is there anyone you'd like to kill recently?"

Mu Sheng greeted her with a kind smile; anyone who didn't know better would think he was asking if she had eaten.

'Who greets someone like that?'

Audrey thought to herself, "Mr. 'Power' is really dedicated. Even in a place like this, he doesn't forget to solicit business."

"Mr. Power, did you miss the party last time because you were on an assassination mission?"

Audrey asked with some curiosity.

Although this "Power" man often talks about killing, because it takes place above the Gray Fog, and because she has always treated these experiences as an adventurer's game, it's all within the realm of the Gray Fog.

It felt like a player interacting with a scripted NPC, so even though Mr. 'Strength' acted dangerously, Audrey didn't feel any fear.

"Ah~"

Upon hearing Audrey's question, Mu Sheng immediately sighed.

"It's all heartbreaking. I worked so hard for two weeks, and all I got was a Sequence 7."

He shook his head repeatedly as he spoke: "It's difficult! It's too difficult. Finding a suitable prey is too difficult!"

"The number of extraordinary individuals is already scarce. Even the lowest and least valuable Sequence 9 is only one in a few thousand people."

Audrey: "The very bottom?"

Klein: "The least valuable?"

Mu Sheng's single sentence offended half of the Tarot Club members.

"Although there are fewer sequences 8, the difference between them and sequences 9 is not significant. However, the sequence numbers starting from sequence 7 are different."

“In smaller cities, a Sequence 7 is already the strongest Extraordinary being stationed by the Church of the True God!”

"Although I am an assassin, I am a good person. I never kill innocent people indiscriminately, so there are even fewer hunting targets that meet my requirements."

"Do you know how much effort and sweat I put in to get this Sequence 7 prey?"

Mu Sheng complained with a wronged expression. He wasn't lying; he had indeed sweated a lot and had also been drenched in sweat.

However, despite his aggrieved expression, none of the three people present sympathized with him!

Alger the Hanged Man was just a Sequence 7 navigator. Hearing Mu Sheng's words, he only felt a sense of shared sorrow, not sympathy.

Needless to say, Klein and Audrey were just the lowest and most worthless Sequence 9s, and had no right to express their opinions.

"By the way, if you have any information about individuals who commit crimes or are notorious for their evil deeds, you can trade with me. I'll buy them with gold pounds!"

"A Sequence 7 Extraordinary... well, I don't need the Sequence 7 anymore. I'll offer 3000 gold pounds for the whereabouts of a Sequence 6 Extraordinary."

"I'll offer 10000 gold pounds for Sequence 5!"

As soon as Mu Sheng finished speaking, Klein, Audrey, and Alger the Hanged Man were all stunned.

How much more?

'Sequence 6 is worth 3000 gold pounds, and sequence 5 is worth 10000 gold pounds?'

Our "God of Poverty" was utterly shocked; this number was simply astronomical for Klein.

Keep in mind that his weekly wage as a Night Watchman is only 2 pounds, but selling the trail of a Sequence 6 Extraordinary could earn him 30 years' worth of wages.

If it is sequence 5
A string of numbers flashed through Klein's mind, and his brown eyes lit up with a golden light.

Alger the Hanged Man was also silent. 3000 gold pounds. This was the first time he had ever known that the whereabouts of a Sequence 6 were so valuable.

Alger was already considering selling his information to Mr. 'Power' even though he had only just been promoted to Sequence 7 Navigator.

"Mr. Power is really rich."

Even Audrey, the wealthiest member of the Tarot Club, couldn't help but sigh.

As the daughter of the Hall family, Audrey wasn't short of 10000 gold pounds, but spending that much money on a piece of information was far too extravagant, even for her.

At that moment, all three people above the gray mist were moved.

Mr. Strength has given us so much!

Unfortunately, none of the three people met Mr. 'Strength's' requirements.

Both Klein and Audrey were just Sequence 9 newbies. Klein was a little better, at least he had some experience with Sequence 7 Extraordinaries.

Audrey had only met a few extraordinary individuals besides her pet dog Susie and the members of the Tarot Club.

Alger the Hanged Man was somewhat better off, but all the Sequence 6 Beyonders he knew about were members of the Church of Storms.

This definitely cannot be sold to Mr. 'Power'.

Silence fell over the gray fog. After a while, Audrey was the first to break the silence.

"that."

Audrey organized her thoughts.

"Dear Mr. Fool, Mr. Mighty Strength, and Mr. Hanged Man who always helps me, I have a question I would like to ask."

"If a pet possessed extraordinary powers, what could it do to help its owner?"

Although Audrey's question was not clearly stated, everyone present understood what it meant.

"Did you give your pet a magic potion?"

Mu Sheng said with great interest, "It seems to have been successful. Interesting. Giving animals magic potions, Miss 'Justice,' you have quite the inquisitive spirit!"

No, I didn't! It was Susie who stole my potion!
Audrey frantically defended herself in her mind, but she couldn't say this reason out loud, as it would make her seem particularly unreliable.

"No, it's not my pet, I'm just curious."

Audrey tried to explain, but the more she spoke, the less confident she became, and eventually she fell silent.

"Theoretically speaking, only those who have taken the corresponding potion and have not lost control can become extraordinary."

"Since your pet is alive, it can do everything that this sequence can normally do!"

"Miss Justice is an 'audience,' right? This sequence excels at observing others from the shadows. You might be able to train your pet into a little spy."

Mu Sheng offered his advice.

Audrey, who had been a little embarrassed, suddenly brightened up after hearing his suggestion.

'Yes!'

'When my father discusses important matters with other nobles, members of parliament, and ministers, he always avoids doing so in front of me and doesn't let me know.'

'But Susie is different. She's just a dog; no one will be on guard against her, as long as we hide her in the study beforehand and don't find her.'

Audrey's mind immediately began to wander.

'And those ladies and young women also enjoy exchanging ideas in their own small circles.'

Audrey seems to have already foreseen a huge wave of scandals heading her way!
With this joy, Audrey continued on to the important matter: "Mr. Fool, I've found another copy of Emperor Rosell's diary."

The subsequent meeting consisted of the Fool reading his diary, followed by the Tarot Club members exchanging information and intelligence.

Mu Sheng also listened to some of it, but none of it was anything he was particularly interested in.

Information regarding a possible war between the Kingdom of Rune and the Empire of Fusak, as well as some information about other possible sequences.

At the end of the gathering, Mu Sheng brought up the matter of purchasing information on Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 Extraordinary Beings again, and told them to contact him as soon as they had any news.

Hillston District, Elton Street.

Mu Sheng opened his eyes, got up and went to the balcony.

"Woo~ Waa~ Woo~ Waa~"

Sensing his presence, the face rose immediately swayed its flower head and began to whine and cry.

A mesmerizing atmosphere suddenly enveloped Mu Sheng.

"Stop yelling, it sounds awful, like you're wailing at a funeral."

Mu Sheng raised his hand and slapped the person in the middle of the rose petals across the face.

The flower head was spun around several times, and the branches below were all tangled together, before it spun back in the opposite direction.

The rose with the human face became obedient, swaying its petals to please Mu Sheng, but dared not make a sound.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"Audrey's pet dog Susie became an Extraordinary after taking the 'Audience' potion. What about plants? Can plants take potions?"

"Theoretically speaking, it should be possible. Scientific research has shown that plants also have emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

"And there are magical plants here too."

Mu Sheng looked down at the rose with a human face in the flowerpot: "This thing is definitely conscious."

It can make noise, move, and even feel fear. Its intelligence level is debatable, but it definitely has thoughts and self-awareness.

"Then how do we give it the potion?"

"Pour it directly into the flowerpot?"

Mu Sheng seemed to be deep in thought, then picked up the rose with the human face and walked towards the study.

“100毫升纯水+13滴夜香草+7片金薄荷叶子+3滴毒堇汁+9克龙血草粉末+10毫升拉瓦章鱼血液+50克星水晶”

That's right, Mu Sheng has started brewing the 'Diviner' potion again.

As mentioned before, Sequence 9 potions are not scarce; with enough money, ordinary people can collect them all with a little effort.

Mu Sheng had bought a lot of these basic potion ingredients before, and now they're coming in handy.

One by one, the ingredients were thrown into the iron pot in order and stirred. Soon, a 'Diviner' potion was prepared.

"Can this stuff seep into the soil?"

Looking at the dark blue, viscous liquid in the iron pot that resembled snot, Mu Sheng felt he couldn't pour it directly into the flowerpot.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Sheng grabbed the stem of the face rose and pulled it out of the flowerpot by the roots.

Then the rose with the human face was soaked directly in the dark blue slime.

"Gululu~"

The rose with the human face was gradually submerged, and the face in the center of the flower plate released a few bubbles.

"Wait a minute, does it have a mouth?"

Mu Sheng stared at the tiny bubbles rising from the dark blue mucus and fell silent.

So why does he absorb the potion by soaking the roots?

"Oh well, we've already soaked, it's no big deal!"

Mu Sheng quickly ignored the problem and continued to observe the face rose absorbing the magic potion.

As the deep blue mucus was absorbed, the 'Diviner's' extraordinary properties gradually merged into the face-shaped rose's body.

From a spiritual perspective, the aura and colors of the human-faced rose become richer, representing the rapid maturation of the mental entity that possesses the abilities to reason, think, and understand things.

A few minutes later, a plant with the 'Diviner' sequence was born.

"Gululu~"

"Gululu~"

The face-shaped rose waved its stems, trying to climb out of the dark blue slime, but it never succeeded.

"Ugh, this is rubbish!"

Seeing this, Mu Sheng pulled it out with some disgust.

"Father. Waaah~"

Snapped!
Mu Sheng raised his hand and slapped her: "Who's your father? Call me master!"

"Master~man~wow~"

Snapped!
"I told you not to whine!"
