Fang Xiu watched Li Mu typing on the keyboard.
An imperceptible smile played on Li Mu’s lips.
"Um... can I still change my selection?"
Fang Xiu asked abruptly.
’There’s something off about her smile.’
"Hang on a sec!"
Li Mu said to Fang Xiu.
Then she went back to typing on her keyboard.
Fang Xiu didn’t interrupt, waiting until Li Mu finally pressed the enter key.
Only then did she look up at Fang Xiu. "You could have changed it," she said, "if I hadn’t registered it yet."
"In that case..."
Fang Xiu had just started to speak...
...when he heard Li Mu say, "But I just finished registering it for you!"
Fang Xiu: ...
’So I really was tricked.’
When he had asked just now, Li Mu clearly hadn’t finished the registration.
’So she told me to wait just so she could finish it?’
"So sorry!"
Li Mu said with a grin.
The truth was, her superiors were very curious about the true extent of Fang Xiu’s power.
That’s why they wanted him to give the Special Gate World a try.
Of course, they hadn’t lied. If Fang Xiu had chosen Package A from the start, they would have dropped the idea.
Besides, the Special Gate World contained a lot of good stuff.
But it was also quite dangerous.
However, generally speaking, none of the Awakened who got the chance to enter this Special Gate World for its rewards were pushovers.
The chances of survival within the Special Gate World were very high.
"It’s fine,"
Fang Xiu said.
In truth, he had only asked to change his mind on a whim.
Nothing in Package A was suitable for a Sacrifice.
That left only Package B.
Fang Xiu didn’t know what exactly the Special Gate World was.
But he knew that it was his only chance to find something that could be Sacrificed.
After all, nothing in Package A could possibly be used for a Sacrifice.
The Deities had no need for such things.
"So, can you get ready? We can leave this afternoon?"
Li Mu asked, looking at Fang Xiu.
"This afternoon? Let’s go now."
Fang Xiu said without hesitation.
"Huh? So soon? I haven’t even eaten yet!"
Li Mu said with a sigh.
But Fang Xiu just smiled and said nothing.
The car heading toward the so-called Special Gate World was already on its way.
Li Mu was feeling a little resentful.
She had rushed over early this morning and hadn’t eaten a single meal all day!
"Oh, right. There’s one small condition for choosing Package B."
Li Mu said, looking at Fang Xiu.
"What condition?"
Fang Xiu asked.
"You need to be recording the entire time."
Li Mu said, then suddenly remembered Fang Xiu’s earlier comments about using the restroom and added, "You can turn it off during... special circumstances!"
"Oh? Such as?"
Fang Xiu asked in return.
"Like using the restroom, for example. Non-combat situations!"
Li Mu said bluntly.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "Fine."
’Looks like I can’t bring Kajimi in with me this time.’
It wasn’t a huge problem for Fang Xiu, though.
Without Kajimi, the worst of it would be his lack of speed.
And hunting more powerful Demon Beasts would be a bit difficult.
Fortunately, the Skills he possessed were extremely powerful.
He even had a Forbidden Curse.
’Otherwise, this would be pretty rough.’
’With the camera on the whole time, I’ll really have to rely on myself for all the fighting.’
"Yep, that’s everything!"
Li Mu said with a slight nod.
Fang Xiu nodded and said no more.
As the car drove on, Fang Xiu closed his eyes and began to rest.
RUMBLE!
Li Mu’s stomach growled.
She shot Fang Xiu an annoyed glance.
’I’ll just have to wait until we get back to eat.’
After the car ride, Fang Xiu was surprised to find they had to transfer to a plane.
Fang Xiu took out his phone and sent a message to Kajimi.
It was quite convenient.
[Kajimi, I’m heading to a Special Gate World. When you get there, wait for me nearby. Don’t go into the Gate World.]
[But Kajimi must protect Master!]
[Don’t worry. I have a Forbidden Curse Skill. Ordinary Demon Beasts can’t harm me. If I run into a powerful one, I can even Sacrifice it. No problem!]
[Yes, Master. Kajimi will listen to Master. Please be careful, Master!]
Their conversation was brief.
Then, Fang Xiu boarded the plane.
The destination was very far away.
Fang Xiu watched as the plane flew directly toward an oasis in the middle of a desert.
"This is the entrance to the Special Gate World?"
Fang Xiu asked curiously, looking down at the oasis.
"Yes. There’s a Gate World down there, and it’s a bit special. You’ll see what I mean in a minute."
Li Mu replied.
From his seat on the plane, Fang Xiu looked down at the oasis and saw that there was actually a city inside it.
There were many buildings, and they clearly looked inhabited.
’This place was probably a city once, or maybe even a province. But the appearance of the Gate Worlds and the Demon Beasts changed things.’
After they deplaned, someone was there to meet them.
They took Fang Xiu and Li Mu directly to a specific location.
"In here is the Special Gate World you’re headed for. Since you chose this option, you might as well enjoy the experience."
Li Mu smiled and explained, "The reason it’s called a Special Gate World is because it’s different from the others. The Spiritual Qi here is a hundred times denser than in other Gate Worlds. Even if you just go inside to practice your Cultivation, it’s better than choosing Package A!"
"Also, the Demon Beasts in here aren’t separated by Level. In other words, you could run into a Level 1 Demon Beast, or you could run into a Level 100 one."
"The inside is enormous. I suggest you don’t wander off, or you’ll probably get lost. It’s basically another world in there—a world full of Demon Beasts!"
Li Mu told Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu was intrigued.
’So there are no separate Levels in this Gate World. Demon Beasts of almost any Level and type could appear. Doesn’t that mean the chances of finding something for a Sacrifice are also very high?’
"Here, take this."
Just then, Li Mu took out another badge and handed it to Fang Xiu.
He took a look. This badge was much more intricate than his previous one.
"This badge will let you enter the Special Gate World. It has all the same functions as your original one. Remember to give it back to me when you come out!"
Li Mu added as a reminder, "I’ll be here to pick you up in four days. Good luck!"
"Okay."
Fang Xiu nodded.
He looked at the passageway to the Special Gate World before him.
The passage to this Gate World looked no different from any other.
Without hesitating, Fang Xiu walked straight in.
BANG!
The moment Fang Xiu stepped into the so-called Special Gate World, a tremendous noise erupted!
