New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 240 The [Hairy King] from the Moon?
The three-day appointment arrived in the blink of an eye.

After gifting his adopted younger brother a bunch of gold coins to show their brotherly affection, Yuan Zhu immediately returned to the "haunted house" to prepare for his conscription.

At 9:20 AM, Yuan Zhu, who was fiddling with a glass flask in his hand, suddenly felt a burning sensation on the [Spatial Mark] on his arm. This was the captain issuing a summons. So he used a coin and vanished into thin air following the call of [Happy Home].

Only four eggplant-headed ghosts were left staring at each other, bewildered.

...

Vision cleared again, time and space shifted, and they successfully arrived at [Happy Home], where a familiar "Welcome!" voice rang in their ears.

What appeared before him was Maid Number 3, whose mechanical eyes were wide open, a smile playing on her lips, and who was leading a goat in her left hand to welcome him.

Opposite number three, besides Yuan Zhu, was Meng Xi, her mouth agape, yawning and carrying a large backpack. Zhou Chu, having modified his uniform to an investigator's style, stood quietly.

And then there was the burly black man, Huo Tuo Luo, whose malevolent killing intent was barely contained. The extent of his "uniform's" distortion far surpassed Yuan Zhu's "Shadow Edition."

It's unclear what modifications and refinements the other party made to the [uniform]. The pollution concentration at this moment is terrifyingly high, and it exudes a special evil aura far exceeding the threshold of the [species] level.

It is obvious that the other party used the "uniform" as a blank foundation, completely broke away from the constraints of the "Mao Mao Wang", and created a unique "evil system".

The design remains the same: a waterproof and thickened butcher's leather apron. However, the face now features a fully enclosed pig-nose biohazard mask, non-slip and wear-resistant gloves, and high-top rain boots... with almost no skin exposed, giving it a very intimidating appearance.

He resembles a classic horrific serial killer from a movie. The malice and murderous intent he exudes are also associated with concepts such as pain, despair, torture, and murder.

But strangely, Yuan Zhu, through his [Soul Crystal] perception and assessment, discovered that this guy had approximately zero lives on his hands. Such intense killing intent, malice, and bloodlust, yet the number of kills was zero?

...

The moment the black man appeared, he attracted Zhou Chu's sharp gaze.

If it weren't for the rules of "Happy Home" protecting the harmonious and friendly members (prohibiting attacks), she would have even disregarded everything and directly started a war to bring the other party to justice.

Besides the familiar old friends of Yuan Zhu, he also saw Lü Rang and Mai Lili, who had just completed the 'trial mission' and returned to the [Happy Home].

The former looked travel-worn and exhausted. He was not much different from the Lü Rang Yuan Zhu remembered from a few days ago when he had just completed the 'Goblin Delivery'. Only his eyes were more resolute, and his sword intent was more refined.

Yuan Zhu could clearly sense a sharp sword intent emanating from Lü Rang, like a well-honed and sharpened weapon.

The pipe wrench (flying sword) wrapped in a cloth bag behind him was also infused with spirituality and vitality, forging it into a true flying sword. When Yuan Zhu's soul crystal spied on it, this flying sword suddenly trembled violently, responding with a provocative intent, wanting to clash with him.

Compared to Lü Rang, who showed some improvement, Mai Lili's transformation was the most significant. At this moment, the bakery girl became the undisputed center of attention at [Happy Home], and even the black man with overwhelming murderous intent couldn't steal her thunder.

Zhou Chu even temporarily abandoned the punishment of black people and seriously looked at Lili, who had transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan.

The once inconspicuous, unremarkable, timid, and cowardly Mai Lili, who would only run away from difficulties, cling to powerful figures, and curl up and sob, now has deep eyes, a firm will, and a touch of fanaticism.

This girl, who came from an even more ordinary and weak background than Lü Rang, underwent a complete transformation in both body and mind after this round of trials.

Her eyes were bright and she was full of fighting spirit, but what attracted the most attention was her uniform.

Through the orthodox [Anti-Law. Subordinate Contract] method, he became a direct subordinate (official employee) of [King Momo], and incidentally completed the [Species] level transformation.

The ordinary uniform was transformed into a flowing, ethereal robe with visual effects of mist and hazy radiance. A sash, wrapped around the sleeve, passed through the back, hovered high in the air, and then emerged from the other sleeve...

Mai Lili, an ordinary-looking bread seller, now exudes an ethereal and otherworldly fairy-like aura in this pale yellow wide-sleeved Hanfu.

The entire uniform seemed to come with built-in beauty filters, skin smoothing, highlighting, and other special effects, instantly making Meng Xiyue, whose mediocre looks were wide open as if she wanted to devour the entire universe (yawning), look even better.

She became the cool and aloof fairy in the team, second only to Zhou Chu.

Tears welled in Mengxi's eyes as she closed her mouth and rallied. Before she could even greet her old friends, she was stunned by the exaggerated appearance of the 'fairy in feathered robes' before her!
"Huh?! What kind of look is this?! What happened?! This is... a uniform?"

She looked down at herself, wearing the most fashionable outfit that was currently trending; then she looked up at the completely different 'classical special effects fairy's feathered robe' opposite her.

Although she didn't want to admit it, her gaze was filled with disbelief, undisguised envy, and longing. I want to be like that too!
Under the impact of her intense subjective desire, the ordinary [uniform] she wore gave feedback: lacking the core element ([anti-law]), it cannot be simulated! It cannot be simulated!! It cannot be simulated!!

...

Mai Lili is in a very special state right now. She herself is still of average strength, but with the help of the [Anti-Law], 'person and clothing' are regarded as one, successfully exceeding the judgment of [species].

However, in Yuan Zhu's eyes, the quality and strength of her [species] hovered between 1/3 and 2/3 of that of [soul crystal].

Both being of the [Seed] rank, [Holy Light] has a higher minimum requirement and can be considered the highest level of Foundation Establishment. The quality of [Anti-Law Foundation Establishment] ([Seed]) like that of Mai Lili is much inferior, and the difficulty of achieving it is correspondingly lower.

Unfortunately, the special effects of [Anti-Rule. Uniform] are too gorgeous, visually masking the flaws. The whole person is shining brightly at all times, dazzling and eye-catching.

Yuan Zhu keenly perceived that this was a kind of 'mental pollution' that could subtly distort cognition. The 'ethereal mist + hazy radiance' created an illusionary effect through visual means.

By observing Mai Lili's changes, we can determine that [Mao Mao Wang]'s extraordinary system follows the [Spirit] path within [Essence, Energy, and Spirit].

Seeing that Mai Lili, the worst, least noticeable, and worst performer in the team, has also overtaken others and reached the [Seed] level.

Meng Xiyue, who was originally in high spirits due to a happy occasion, suddenly stopped smiling. How come Old Blackie, Little Candle, and Bread Girl... have all surpassed her? Even that pipe wrench boy has forged a [flying sword]!
Mengxi couldn't accept reality and blurted out, "How did she do that?!" Lu Rang, who had partnered with Mai Lili for a full month, knew everything about this 'screaming, weak teammate.' Lili, a fellow villager, let herself be the center of attention, striking a cool pose to fulfill her dream of showing off.

Lu Rang spoke up directly, explaining for her: "This is the correct way to use the [Mao Mao King. Luxury Uniform]. Lili signed the [Anti-Law] with [Mao Mao] and received the captain's protection and guidance. During this trial mission, she slacked off, acted slacking off, and dragged us down the whole time... until finally, during the [Moon Worship Ceremony] on the ground, she finally had her ultimate outburst. She allowed the threads of the [Uniform] to absorb enough [Moonlight], undergoing Taiyin Refinement, and transforming into the [Feathered Immortal Robe]."

Upon hearing the introduction of the Pipe Wrench Sword Immortal, Yuan Zhu cast an Evil Detection spell on Mai Laoxiang, who was still showing off and being reserved.

An unexpected discovery: under the universal values ​​of the [Sanctuary], the opposing faction is neutral but leans towards good?!
The [Rainbow Feather Robe] has extremely high pollution activity, but a very low evil index. It is also deviating from reality and moving towards the ethereal, completely rushing towards the directions of 'spirit, soul, energy'... This is developing in the direction of the [outer world] (above).

Zhou Chu, with his extensive investigative experience, stared intently at Lili for a moment before asking, "Is this the true form of the [Furry King]? The [Sea of ​​the Moon]?"

Meng Xiyue: "The power of [Mao Mao Wang] manifests as [Little Fairy]? Is [Feather Robe] a core similar to [Knight-type Armor]?"

Yuan Zhu: "I never expected that [Mao Mao Wang]'s background is so clean? His extraordinary energy is so pure?"

The 'pollution ability' emanating from the beautiful fairy Mai at this moment was among the 'cleanest' of all the pollutants Yuan Zhu had encountered. He even felt that the [Holy Light] was stronger, but the [Feather Robe] was cleaner.

A group of people gathered around, marveling at Mai Lili's [Rainbow Feather Robe].

I can't get enough of it!
Yuan Zhu and Meng Xiyue, completely oblivious to their surroundings, reached out their dog paws and groped and tugged at the young girl's body, sleeves, and shawl.

Dream: "So silky smooth!"

Yuan: "How refreshing!"

Xi: "I'm so jealous!"

Candle: "It would be so awesome to make these into pajamas!"

Yue: "I could sleep until I never wake up!"

Faced with the two who were pushing their luck, Mai Lili, who had put on a little show to completely satisfy her vanity, took two steps back lightly and snapped angrily, "Hey! You two, that's enough! Don't get my clothes dirty."

Her tone of voice was no longer timid and self-conscious; instead, it was incredibly affected. She sounded just like someone who had just bought a new diamond watch, dramatically raising her wrist and muttering, "Let me check the time, what time is it?"

With her prompting, Yuan Zhu discovered that the dirty handprint Meng Xiyue left on the feather robe was instantly cleaned up by the built-in 'mist and radiance' special effect.

Wow? It even has a function that automatically cleans itself all the time. This "uniform" is damn cool!
At this moment, the image of [Mao Mao Wang] in Yuan Zhu's mind gradually materialized into a 'proud little pretentious fairy' who loves cleanliness and beauty.

Meng Xiyue, wearing a fairy robe with built-in lighting, beauty filters, and self-cleaning functions, asked Lemon, "Hey, Bread Girl, what abilities does your [Feather Robe] have?"

Having gained some self-defense capabilities, Mai Lili finally dared to speak boldly: "My cultivation is still very weak, and I need the divine power of the [Mao Mao King] to enhance it. I can achieve lightness, short-distance gliding, semi-mist etherealization, manipulating light (energy) in combat, controlling puppets by manipulating feather threads, and mental manipulation and reading... As for other abilities, I still need to gradually adapt to and explore them. How about it, are you envious, sister? If you want them, you can also worship the [Mao Mao King] and sign the [Anti-Law]!"

Zhou Chu: "The core of your [Feather Robe] is to absorb [Moonlight Energy], right?"

Mai Lili shook her head: "Sister is too shallow. How could an investigator like you understand the greatness of the [Furry King]? Moonlight is only the basic power to activate the [Uniform], it also needs the exclusive rules ([Anti-Law]) that belong to the [Furry King] to cooperate."

Yuan Zhu could understand it. Just like how the Tiger Demon could be categorized as a Shadow Demon (prototype), using the energy of Shadow Contamination. However, not all users of Shadow Power could master the Tiger Demon's unique abilities.

【Mao Mao Wang】must have a unique system similar to 【Boss Template】, and can completely transform 【Uniform】, unlocking 【Fairy (Feather Robe) Mode】.

The terms "Moon," "Feather Robe," "Spirit," "Silk Thread," and "Silkworm?" are likely the core abilities of "Mao Mao Wang's Anti-Law."

Yuan Zhu began to speculate that the enemy's stronghold might be on the [Moon]?

Meng Xiyue pressed on, "Captain, am I [Boss Mao] a deity on the moon? No wonder you don't have a store on Duling Star. Have your [Children's Clothing Flagship Store] even opened in the [Star Realm]?"

The captain shook his head: "No, the [Mao Mao King] doesn't live on the moon, but deeper within the [Nightmare Foam Layer]. However, Mai Lili's cultivation path is indeed heading towards the [Sea of ​​Consciousness], which can be categorized under the [Yin Shen Method]."

Meng Xiyue looked like she understood: "Oh! You were banished to the mortal realm, right?"

Yuan Zhu: "..."

Everyone gathered around Mai Lili for a long discussion, expressing their congratulations and blessings. Only Meng Xiyue expressed envy, sourness, and desire for the [True. Mao Mao Wang Feather Robe Form].

Yes, Zhou Chu's gaze toward Mai Lili shifted once, then shifted again.

The men, led by Yuan Zhu, quickly shed their desire for beautiful clothes, settling only on the level of appreciation and finding them aesthetically pleasing. However, the extraordinary origins of the "Mao Mao King" were somewhat unexpectedly related to the "Moon."

At this moment, the captain spoke up: "You all have half an hour to prepare before the next batch of people can enter the [Underground World]. There are no mandatory missions for this exploration, but you can choose to accept the side quests issued by [King Mao Mao]. Lü Rang and Mai Lili, if you have the energy, you can enter again and act freely."

Lü Rang quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I just want to go home and sleep now. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time."

Mai Lili: "Captain, I need a quiet environment now to absorb and digest what I've learned from this mission."

The captain then gave her special advice, saying, "Go to your 'guest room' for seclusion. I will create a suitable cultivation environment for you and adjust the flow of time."

"Ok!"

The two had clearly collaborated on similar teaching projects multiple times before. After greeting the others, Mai Lili went straight to her room.

Interns Yuan Zhu and Meng Xi exchanged a glance: Is this the kind of perk and treatment that core members receive?
