I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 114 Gaga's Rampage (4000 words)
"Pure Water?"

Su Yuan looked at the reward for passing the twentieth level of the maze.

Pure Water, one of the wonders of the universe, can greatly and temporarily enhance the user's comprehension after consumption.

According to the specific description given by the gray mirror when Su Yuan inquired, if he were to consume the Pure Spirit Water, the effect would be roughly equivalent to the gains from two minor enlightenments.

It should be understood that for any cultivator or evolver, a state of sudden enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Even though Su Yuan can seize every opportunity for enlightenment with the help of the gray mirror, the number of times he has had a minor enlightenment so far is only a few.

"Delivered in one day?"

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face, quite satisfied.

"Reward for clearing the thirtieth level of the maze."

Su Yuan's heart stirred slightly, but he immediately shook his head.

The reward for the thirtieth level of the maze was equally appealing to him.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the mechanics in "The Labyrinth of a Thousand Layers," you'll have to wait two months to attempt the twenty-first layer of the labyrinth.

"No rush, take your time."

Su Yuan collected his thoughts. Two months on Earth? Let alone extraterrestrial life, even for planetary life, it would be a blink of an eye.

The community world of "The Labyrinth".

Many people who were paying attention to 'Ming' looked at the twentieth stone tablet.

"My God, he managed to navigate ten mazes in just a few hours? What's the background of this 'Ming'?"

"Is he a disciple of a top strategist? Was he undergoing tests by a top strategist all along? Only now does he have time to venture into the 'Myriad Labyrinths'?"

"No, I've already added 'Ming' as a friend. I must befriend such a strategist."

The crowd whispered among themselves, some saying that if Su Yuanji managed to pass through the eleventh and twelfth mazes in such a short time, some might think it was just good luck.

They encountered a simple maze challenge.

But this is true for ten consecutive mazes?

This cannot be explained by luck.

Only true strategic planning and mastery can accomplish this.

"Huh? So many friend requests?"

Su Yuangang had just left the world of "The Labyrinth of Myriad Layers" when he discovered that he had received hundreds more friend requests.

"Is it because of the speed of clearing levels in 'The Labyrinth of Mysteries'?"

Su Yuan was not surprised at all. In fact, he already knew this outcome after deciding to speedrun "The Labyrinth of Ten Thousand Layers".

Su Yuan's decision to "speed through" was made after receiving a response from the gray mirror.

Speedrunning through "The Labyrinth of Ten Thousand Layers" will inevitably attract the attention of many people or forces, which is a good thing for Su Yuan.

At least I've made a name for myself, and people know me. When they need strategists to advise them in the future, they'll think of me first.

The game world of "Multiple Mazes" is a game world created by the human empire of the Canglan universe specifically for strategists. It not only offers numerous rewards but also provides strategists with a network of connections.

For strategists, a network of connections is a form of wealth.

The strategies and plans devised by strategists can all generate substantial wealth.

"Friend requests from these individuals have been accepted."

Looking at the hundreds of friend requests, Su Yuan knew from the gray mirror that most of them would not be of any help to him.

Those who pass will find themselves and collaborate in the future.

"This is the strategist."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Initially it may be a waste, but once you achieve some success, the rewards will be beyond your imagination.

Those top strategists can wipe out countless stars with a wave of their hand; there is no limit to the resources they can leverage.

A shattered void world.

In Liangzhou City, Su Yuan once again visited the blacksmith's shop.

"Guest, your spear is ready."

The burly blacksmith solemnly held up a long spear and handed it to Su Yuan.

As a renowned blacksmith in Liangzhou City, he had forged countless weapons, but this spear was his masterpiece, superior in both casting method and material selection.

"Ah."

Su Yuan nodded slightly and accepted the spear.

"It weighs 2,300 jin and is forged from meteorite iron from outer space; it is entirely silver in color."

Su Yuan stroked the spear.

Since the limitations imposed on the body by the Shattered Void World are at the level of a Level 1 life form, weapons cannot be too heavy.

Their physical fitness is what it is.

While the weight cannot be increased, there is a difference in quality.

This silver spear was forged from meteorite iron from outer space, making it a weapon of exceptional hardness.

With Su Yuan's strength, a single spear thrust would pierce through even a third-rank expert if they didn't dodge.

Click, click, click.

Su Yuan gently stroked the silver spear in front of him, breaking it into three pieces. This was a special design feature of the spear, intended for easy carrying.

If Su Yuan so desires, these three sections can be instantly assembled into a complete spear.

"Thank you."

Su Yuan put away the three sections of the spear and turned to leave.

After leaving Liangzhou City, Su Yuan returned to Qingxiang City.

On the way back, Su Yuan casually inquired about the gray mirror.

"Are there any superior martial arts manuals nearby that I can obtain?"

"Restriction: This superior martial arts manual must be helpful to me and must conform to the extreme yang and yin attributes."

Over the past two months, Su Yuan has traded dozens of mid-level martial arts manuals from the Money Gang for more than ten mid-level martial arts manuals with extremely Yin and Yang attributes.

His understanding of extreme Yang and extreme Yin powers progressed by leaps and bounds, mainly driven by these martial arts manuals.

However, as his understanding of extreme Yang and extreme Yin powers continued to improve, Su Yuan gradually discovered that the help he received from intermediate-level martial arts manuals was gradually decreasing.

Next, to maintain the previous rate of improvement in understanding, one needs a superior martial arts manual, specifically a superior martial arts manual that conforms to the extreme yin and yang attributes.

Superior martial arts manuals are extremely rare; there are only a few in Qingxiang City, and they are useless to Su Yuan.

The gray mirror surface churned and rippled.

[Method 1: Return to Liangzhou City, go to the City Lord's Mansion, and from the exchange list provided by Dayong, exchange for a superior martial arts manual for 10,000 taels of gold.]

"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Su Yuan's lips twitched.

Ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to one million taels of silver, which can be exchanged for one hundred million Canglan coins.
It's not that Su Yuan doesn't have that much money, but it's unnecessary; the cost would be too high.

The gray mirror continued to churn, providing the answer.

[Method Two: Half a day later, nine hundred miles away from here, a relic will emerge. The relic is of purple level and contains a superior martial arts manual.]

"A purple-level ruin?"

Su Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

Ruins are a gameplay element in the world of "Shattered Void," similar to "dungeon raiding."

The ruins contain numerous treasures and martial arts manuals. The employee from the recruitment department of the 'Star River' Group that Su Yuan recently killed had died while exploring the 'Tianwu Ruins,' ultimately being ambushed and killed by Su Yuan.

However, the Tianwu Ruins are a gold-level ruin, so they must contain superior martial arts manuals, which is why they attract a large number of interstellar life forms to fight and compete for them.

Purple-level ruins generally do not contain superior martial arts manuals.

Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew that there was a small chance of finding superior martial arts manuals in the purple-level ruins.

"A purple-level relic. That's it."

Su Yuan made up her mind.

First of all, purple-level ruins will not attract experts of the highest rank.

For top-tier masters, mid-level martial arts manuals are basically useless; only top-level martial arts manuals can attract their attention.

Superior martial arts manuals are basically only found in gold-level relics.

At the foot of a dense forest hill.

A gaunt man stared at the massive stone gate before him with wild joy.

"This is the ruins left behind by the Moyu Sect, which was destroyed six hundred years ago?" The thin man asked excitedly.

The Moyu Sect was a powerful force from six hundred years ago. Because it refused to submit to the rule of the Dayong Dynasty, it was eventually wiped out by the army, and the whereabouts of the remaining Moyu Sect members are unknown.

At this moment, the gaunt man deduced from the patterns on the stone door that behind it lay the ruins of the former Moyu Sect.

"A tremendous opportunity, a tremendous opportunity indeed."

The gaunt man was invigorated. The ruins left behind by a sect? Even if the sect had long since vanished, as long as there was any gain, it would be a great gain!
"Let me see!"

The gaunt man immediately began to observe carefully. He was quite knowledgeable and had studied sects and factions from hundreds of years ago, so he found the key to the stone door.

As soon as the switch was turned on, the stone door began to vibrate and slowly opened.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, the gaunt man was startled. The process of the stone door opening was extremely turbulent, as if an earth dragon were turning over, causing the ground within dozens of miles to tremble slightly.

"This site is built on the earth's veins; once opened, it will inevitably trigger a reaction in the earth's veins."

The gaunt man could only pray that no powerful figures would pass by.

Whoosh! The next moment.

A man with an effeminate appearance appeared, holding a jade fan. With a gentle wave, the head of the gaunt man was lifted into the sky.

The effeminate man looked at the stone gate, a smile appearing on his face: "A purple-level ruin, huh? I'm really lucky to have stumbled upon a purple-level ruin that's currently being opened."

Purple-grade relics are beneath the notice of high-ranking celestial beings, but they are invaluable to mid-ranking experts.

The gold, silver, and martial arts manuals inside are enough to make a fortune for a mid-level rank expert.

For players who are citizens of the Empire, this means a significant amount of real-world income.

"The stone gate is opening too slowly; it will take at least another two hours."

The effeminate man looked at the stone gate and thought to himself, as a citizen player of the empire, he naturally hoped that the stone gate would open as soon as possible.

Call ~
Suddenly, the effeminate man looked into the distance.

A figure walked out; it was Su Yuan.

Su Yuan glanced at the effeminate man and immediately determined that he was also an Imperial Citizen Player.

"Not activated yet."

As Su Yuan watched the vibrations that continuously spread in all directions during the opening of the stone gate, he sighed inwardly.

The opening of the ruins caused a huge commotion, attracting nearby players or powerful native inhabitants. This is one of the game's mechanics.

The official developers of Shattered Void would never allow a player to acquire the entire ruins' wealth without paying any price.

The official team would prefer to see Imperial Citizens and Players engage in a frenzied battle over a certain game relic, which would lead to the deaths of some players who would then spend 100,000 Canglan Coins to re-enter the game.

This is also one way for games to generate revenue.

One player has 100,000 Canglan coins, ten players have 1 million Canglan coins, and so on. A hundred players have 10 million Canglan coins, and a thousand players have 100 million Canglan coins.

Each time a gold-level relic appears, it attracts far more than hundreds or thousands of imperial citizen players.

Will these players seek revenge after they die?

If one dies again while seeking revenge, will one still need to seek revenge?

Even in many gold-level ruins, there are guardians who specifically kill Imperial citizen players.

Furthermore, if an Imperial citizen player dies and then reappears, will they have to buy weapons and treasures again? This would be another source of revenue for the game's developers.

Of course, these hidden empire citizens and players were unaware of this and only thought that the game was that difficult.

But Su Yuan could see the real reason behind it all through the gray mirror.

"Ok?"

"A peak fourth-grade expert, Luo Xue."

Su Yuan's gaze shifted, looking towards the shadow of a large tree in the distance.

A red-haired man stood there, also looking at the huge stone gate.

"Brother Tiancheng, I didn't expect you to come too." The red-haired man looked at the effeminate man and said with a smile.

The effeminate man was named Yin Tiancheng, a well-known expert in Liangzhou, a peak fourth-rank expert.

The red-haired man, named Luo Xue, was also a peak fourth-rank expert, and he did not have a good relationship with Yin Tiancheng.

Both were citizens of the Empire and had even fought each other several times before.

The vibrations caused by the opening of the stone gate continued to spread in all directions.

"This tremor? Is some ancient relic emerging?"

A man resembling an ascetic suddenly stopped and looked towards the source of the tremor: "Very well, let's go and see what we can find."

"I never expected this trip to bring such a pleasant surprise?"

Elsewhere, a woman in green robes carrying a sword looked toward the source of the tremor, then leaped away and vanished from the spot.

As time passed, more and more powerful individuals gathered at the stone gate—both native powerhouses and imperial citizen players.

After all, it is too difficult to earn money in the broken void world, while the emergence of ruins means a lot of wealth.

Su Yuan waited not far from the stone gate.

"Wu!" Standing beside Su Yuan was a figure, none other than Mad Saber Qin Mo.

Two months ago, Su Yuan successfully took over the Money Gang. As the former leader of the Money Gang, Mad Blade Qin Mo left Qingxiang City to continue his travels.

For the past two weeks, Mad Blade Qin Mo has been traveling in Liangzhou. The emergence of this purple-level relic naturally caught Mad Blade Qin Mo's attention.

Upon arriving, Mad Blade Qin Mo immediately noticed that Su Yuan was also there, and naturally stood beside Su Yuan.

After all, the two knew each other and had a pretty good relationship.

"What's wrong?" Su Yuan looked at Mad Blade Qin Mo.

Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew that Mad Blade Qin Mo was a good person, and although he wasn't very strong, he was willing to communicate with him.

"Have you ever entered ruins before?" Mad Blade Qin Mo asked in a low voice.

“No,” Su Yuan said. He had only been in the world of “Shattered Void” for two months and had not explored any ruins.

“Then, let’s join forces.” Mad Blade Qin Mo cautiously looked around. “These people all have fourth-grade strength. Only by joining forces can we gain anything after the ruins open.”

"Don't worry, I have extensive experience exploring ancient ruins."

Mad Blade Qin Mo said:

"If the two of us team up, we're guaranteed to wreak havoc inside the ruins!"
