Chapter 108: The Myriad Worlds Mall

"Yes, Master! The upgraded Almighty System 2.0 now features three new functions: Pet System, Prestige System, and the Myriad Worlds Mall!"

Myriad Worlds Mall?

Looking at Xiao Ling, Tianming wore a puzzled expression. He could understand the concepts of pets and prestige, but he had no idea what this mall sold or what currency was used to purchase items.

As if sensing Tianming's confusion, Xiao Ling quickly explained, "Master, the Myriad Worlds Mall uses Prestige Points for transactions. These points are earned when you perform meaningful deeds that become widely known or shock others."

"What kind of items are in this Myriad Worlds Mall?" Tianming nodded and asked further.

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Ling nodded, floated in the air, circled around once, and a massive virtual screen appeared before Tianming.

Before Tianming could speak, Xiao Ling continued, "Master, in the Myriad Worlds Mall, you can purchase all the magical artifacts available in the lottery, as well as any item from across the myriad worlds. Meow~ This, of course, includes pets and mounts."

Soon, a magnificent, golden interface appeared before Tianming. At the top were four grand, imposing characters: "Myriad Worlds Mall." For some reason, the prices for all the items were currently displayed as question marks.

The mall was divided into three main categories, and more importantly, one section remained locked!

Universal Artifacts: [Timer], [Time Machine], [Time TV], [Supersonic Ingot], [Itchy Flea], [Weight Adjustment Lamp], [Evasion Cloak], [Hand of Revenge], [Lightning Sword], [Planet Destroyer Bomb], [Anywhere Door], [Penetration Ring], [Honesty Pill], etc.

Myriad Worlds Pets: [Unicorn Pixiu Beast], [Ink-Horned Scabby Qilin], [Green-Eyed Snowflake Camel], [Golden-Eyed Lightning White Dragon Colt], [Iron Pear Blossom], [Iron-Maned Horse], [Blue Dragon Colt], etc.

Myriad Worlds Meta-Skills: ??? Awaiting unlock!

"Xiao Ling, why are there so many question marks in the mall?"

After scanning the names of the items, Tianming shifted his gaze toward Xiao Ling with a hint of bewilderment.

"Master, the subsequent options will unlock once you earn enough Prestige or accumulate a certain amount of points. Please do more good deeds to earn more Prestige!"

Xiao Ling’s somewhat lazy voice sounded again.

After hearing the explanation, Tianming didn't dwell on the issue. "Fine, let's ignore the Myriad Worlds Mall for now and talk about it when I have enough Prestige. Xiao Ling, open the lottery page. I want to draw."

"Yes, Master!"

With a wave of Xiao Ling's nimble, coffee-colored paw, the golden Myriad Worlds Mall vanished instantly, replaced by a festive page. It was the same screen, the same wheel...

The golden pointer began to spin, accompanied by the familiar sound!

*Clang, clang, clang!*

"Congratulations, Master! You have obtained a rare spatial artifact: Penetration Ring. Effect: Can penetrate any obstacle. Limitation: Can only be used three times; it will disappear automatically afterward. Value: One million Prestige points!"

Unlike before, the congratulatory message was delivered by Xiao Ling, not the usual rigid mechanical voice. Furthermore, the value in Prestige points was now listed next to the artifact, implying it could be purchased for that amount.

"Damn! A Penetration Ring?"

Seeing the golden light flash, Tianming exclaimed in disbelief.

"Master, you are so lucky to pull a rare spatial artifact on your first try!" Xiao Ling scratched its head with a tiny paw, looking slightly sullen.

"Is... is this rare spatial type hard to pull?"

Seeing Xiao Ling’s downcast expression, Tianming asked with a chuckle.

"Of course, Master! I'm not exaggerating, these artifacts only have a one-in-ten-thousand chance of appearing!" Xiao Ling said, casting a disdainful look at Tianming.

"But this Penetration Ring doesn't seem very useful here. This is a world of cultivation where strength is everything, right?"

Tianming shook his head, looking helplessly at Xiao Ling, his eyes hinting strongly for a shortcut.

"Master, don't lose heart. With the help of automatic cultivation, you will reach the seventh grade of Spirit Void by tomorrow. Besides, you still have the Lightning Sword and the Hand of Revenge as trump cards for another day and a half! I believe you will soon become a top powerhouse in this Celestial Realm."

Tianming, who had been hoping for Xiao Ling to pull some strings, never expected to receive nothing but consolation!

...Tch!

Tianming shot a look of disdain at Xiao Ling and opened his personal attribute sheet.

"I didn't expect this Young Master Chu Yun to be so wealthy!"

The first thing that caught his eye was the amount of gold. Even Tianming hadn't realized there was so much money in the spatial ring.

"Master, you can now exchange money for experience points, and the same goes for Hongmeng Origin Stones." Xiao Ling licked its paw, its eyes glowing with a covetous golden light at the sight of wealth.

"...What a money-grubbing cat!" Tianming shook his head, helplessly asking, "Xiao Ling! How much experience can this money be exchanged for? I'm telling you, I won't accept anything less than one gold per experience point."

Tianming thought it was a decent deal, as he rarely used the money anyway.

"..." The cat, however, was not having it!

Hearing this, Xiao Ling waved its paw, stretched lazily, and looked at Tianming, seemingly speechless at his request.

"Fine, then you tell me, what’s the exchange rate?" Tianming asked after a moment of thought.

"...One thousand gold for one hundred experience points!"

Xiao Ling meowed a few times and held up a paw very seriously.

"Greedy cat, forget it!"

After a cold retort, Tianming ignored the coffee-colored cat and walked out of the room.

*Meow~~~*

Watching Tianming leave, Xiao Ling didn't say anything more. With a wave of its tiny paw, it transformed into a streak of golden light and followed the figure ahead. As they departed, the room returned to silence.
