Online game: Only I can see the hidden information

In addition to the attributes and job change opportunities, I was also rewarded with a [Trading Realm Pass] and an [Eternal Blessing].

The Trading Secrets Pass is a gold card, about the size of a bank card, with no patterns or markings on it.

With this pass, you can enter the secret trading area.

"The Secrets of Trading?"

Ye Bai recalled the contents related to the Trading Secret Realm in his mind.

"According to the book, that is one of the special neutral zones of the Eternal Tower, which can be entered with a [Temporary Pass] or a [Permanent Pass]."

Once inside, everyone's aura and appearance will be concealed; only a random number will represent their identity.

Looking at the golden card again, Ye Bai's eyes burned with desire.

This is great stuff!

Even a temporary pass to the Trading Secret Realm can sell for millions!

The card in front of Ye Bai is a permanent card with unlimited uses, and its value is immeasurable!

Even some large families, with a War God-level expert in charge, may not necessarily possess this level of pass!

After carefully putting away the golden card, Ye Bai prepared to go to the Trading Secret Realm later.

After clearing the beginner dungeon, Ye Bai leveled up to level 10 in one go, and it was time to upgrade his equipment.

Moreover, the subsequent exploration plans also require some materials and props, which Ye Bai needs to prepare in advance.

Ye Bai looked at the last reward:

"Eternal blessing?"

[The children of the tower, protected by the Eternal Tower, will see their rating increase by one level each time they clear a dungeon or advance through a new floor of the Eternal Tower.]

"hiss--"

The weight of this blessing exceeded Ye Bai's expectations!

To put it bluntly, all the rewards Ye Bai had received before combined were not as good as [Eternal Blessing]!

Your rating will be permanently upgraded to a higher tier!

What does this mean?

If Ye Bai can achieve a perfect clear, that is, an SSS-level rating, then under [Eternal Blessing], it will be an SSSS-level rating!

It even surpassed the limits of the Eternal Tower itself!

With this blessing, Ye Bai's growth rate will exceed everyone's imagination!

"As expected of the reward for clearing the hidden stage at SSS rank!"

Ye Bai thought to himself, "The three strongest humans who have risen to prominence one after another have all only cleared the beginner dungeon at SSS level; none of them have triggered the hidden levels!"

"In other words, the [Eternal Blessing] exists only for me!"

In other words, Ye Bai's growth rate, potential, and even his upper limit may be even greater than that of the strongest!

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility!

Ye Bai hasn't gotten cocky yet. If he were to reveal his true identity now, the demons of the Abyss could kill him with a single thought!

A dead genius is no better than a living ant!

Survival, realizing his potential, and achieving the position of the strongest are the most important things for Ye Bai!

Putting aside the introduction of the Eternal Blessing, Ye Bai calmed down.

"On your first visit to the Eternal Tower, you can only attempt the beginner dungeon. Other areas of the Eternal Tower are currently unavailable for exploration."

Ye Bai looked at the golden pass in his palm and fell into thought.

"How about we check out the Trading Secrets today?"

"If I go, is there a risk of my identity being exposed?"

According to the textbook, it shouldn't be the case.

Besides, to become stronger, you need a massive amount of resources, and the Trading Realm is a must-visit!

Ye Bai made up his mind.

It's always better to go early than late!

What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be.

With his thumb pressed on the pass, golden light filled Ye Bai's vision, enveloping his entire body.

A long string of numbers, mixed with English letters, appeared in Ye Bai's mind.

This is his code number within the secret trading territory.

The next moment, the golden light faded, and Ye Bai appeared in a corner of a market.

The road, barely wide enough for three people, was packed with people, and stalls lined both sides displaying all sorts of dazzling treasures. People were constantly shouting and hawking their wares, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The General Defense Command has issued its twenty-sixth order, summoning all War God-level powerhouses to report to their nearest location!"

"Today's tabloid takes you behind the scenes of Shura's growth!"

"Recruit a War King-level expert and train an S-rank talent disciple; this child will surely become Shura's right-hand man!"

"..."

Ye Bai: ? ? ?

Has he not surfed the internet for too long?

Why is it that in the Trading Secret Realm, 9 out of 10 sentences are related to Asura?

Ye Bai was momentarily stunned when a warm voice rang in his ears.

"Young man, you look unfamiliar, are you new here?"

Ye Bai turned around and saw a green-skinned goblin standing beside him, greeting him.

Ye Bai nodded and asked curiously, "How did you know I was new here?"

"I haven't seen your number before. I know all the people who come to the Trading Realm regularly!"

Also, you haven't even transformed your appearance yet; that's common for newbies.

Transformation?

Ye Bai turned around and saw a mirror. He realized that he looked like a gray cloud with occasional flashes of lightning.

"Within the secret trading realm, everyone's identity is kept secret; voice, appearance, fingerprints, and even divine sense are all shielded!"

The goblin enthusiastically introduced,

"When you visualize an image in your mind, your appearance will change accordingly."

Following the other party's instructions, Ye Bai tried it out, and the dark clouds quickly churned, solidified, and transformed into a human figure shaped from a cloud.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm a trading broker from [Ten Thousand Things Pavilion] called [Goblin]. Just call me 'little brother'."

As the goblin spoke, he handed over a business card with his trading domain number on it.

"For any buying or selling needs, feel free to contact us at [Wanwu Pavilion]. New users enjoy a 98% discount!"

Wanwu Pavilion.

Ye Bai memorized the name and nodded to the other person.

"Thank you, I'm just browsing around."

"No problem, you can leave messages in the Trading Secrets by number. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime."

The goblins were very friendly and helpful, adding that...

"Some information is chargeable!"

"clear."

After bidding farewell to the goblins, Ye Bai wandered aimlessly through the trading secret realm, with people constantly shouting in his ears.

"Exploring the 76th floor of the Eternal Tower: Team formation needed! Veteran warriors leading the charge, come quick!"

"Abyss Plane S-Rank Mission: Cleanse a space corrupted by a demon god. Generous reward!"

"Bounties for information about the Demonic Cult have been increased by 30%! Bounties for high-ranking followers of the Demon God have been doubled!"

"....."

The items in the trading secret realm are quite valuable, and Ye Bai can only watch the excitement at most.

The main items they trade, any one of them, start at millions of gold coins!

Ye Bai only had a little over 10 gold coins in his pocket, not even enough to buy a scrap of material.

After wandering around for a full hour, Ye Bai finally stopped and stood in a corner of the trading market.

Based on the fragmented information he had just heard, Ye Bai roughly pieced together the current situation in his mind.

"Because of my SSS-rank clear of the hidden dungeon, the [Administrative Defense Headquarters] has raised a level two alert?"

Ye Bai was somewhat taken aback, not expecting it to cause such a commotion!

That's a level two alarm; once it's triggered, the resources required are astronomical!

The Planetary Defense Council, or simply the Planetary Defense Committee, is an organization headed by three supreme beings, essentially a large federal organization.

Ye Bai also learned about it.

The Xingfang General Headquarters has always had a plan for cultivating the fourth strongest individual!

They are waiting, waiting for a promising talent to clear the beginner dungeon at SSS level, waiting for the birth of a new supreme human.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Ye Bai's success in clearing the pass spread, all the gears of the terrifying war machine of the General Defense Command started to turn and were instantly pulled to full speed!

The pre-established procedures were followed step by step.

Increase investment in education resources, summon all war god-level powerhouses to oversee the purge of the demonic cult followers from Earth...

This series of combined measures were all for one purpose—to provide a healthy environment for Shura's growth!

"The Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters didn't make a big fuss about finding my identity. They might be taking steps behind the scenes, but they've been very restrained in public!"

Ye Bai nodded inwardly, understanding the other party's reasons for doing so.

If Ye Bai were to directly seek out [Shura], his identity would be exposed, and given his extremely weak state, he would face endless trouble!

The Demon God will absolutely not stand idly by and watch another supreme being rise among the human race!

The three supreme experts have brought the human race and the abyss plane to a stalemate, and the human race has even been able to organize a small-scale counterattack!

Once Asura also becomes a supreme powerhouse...

That will be the end of the Abyss Plane!

The only option is to nip Shura in the bud when he is fully grown!

The response from the Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters is to eliminate all potential dangers as much as possible!

As for Shura's own growth, judging from his SSS-level clear of the beginner dungeon, there is nothing to worry about!

Having figured these things out, Ye Bai felt much more at ease.

With no immediate risk of his identity being exposed, Ye Bai focused his attention back on his own growth.

The purpose of coming to the Trading Realm is to exchange resources and grow faster.

"These things are all too expensive. Even if I could afford them, I couldn't meet the level requirements!"

Ye Bai glanced around, took out his previous business cards, and sent a message to his underling.

"It's a pleasure to serve you!"

The green-skinned goblin jumped in front of Ye Bai once again.

Ye Bai suddenly asked, "How happy are you?"

Brother: ...He couldn't respond to that!

"Okay, I... cough cough... I have a friend."

Ye Bai used his usual opening remarks.

Any inconvenience can be shifted to a friend.

Making friends out of nothing!

"A junior of my friend just entered the Eternal Tower today and awakened his talent."

The goblin underling quickly understood Ye Bai's meaning.

"You want to get some equipment and supplies for this junior, right? Let me see, here's a commonly used recommendation list!"

The goblin underling handed over a list, clearly having been prepared beforehand.

Ye Bai glanced at it and frowned.

"Why are all the equipment B-grade and C-grade?"

The enhancements from these equipment are negligible and extremely meager.

Even if Ye Bai were to fight bare-handed, it would be better than using this garbage.

The goblin brother patiently explained,

"For new players, the most important thing is to level up. At this stage, equipment is just a consumable!"

It's more cost-effective to consider high-quality equipment once you've leveled up.

That's definitely the truth.

When doing things, you also need to consider the cost-effectiveness. A level 10 S-grade staff, if it has no growth potential, is not as good as a level 50 plain staff!

Ye Bai pressed further, "Are there any staffs that can be upgraded?"

During the beginner's gift pack, Ye Bai will have the opportunity to choose an A-grade staff that can be upgraded, namely [Lightning Grip].

However, Ye Bai later encountered a better reward and had to reluctantly give it up.

"Yes, there are, but..."

The goblin henchman hesitated for a moment, then took out another list.

"Staffs with growth potential usually have hidden upgrade requirements."

Each time you complete an upgrade, new upgrade requirements will be set! So... these equipment items are actually somewhat useless.

The goblin underling added another sentence.

"And they're all very expensive!"
