Chapter 713 - 414: Oh No, Someone Reserved the Hero’s Slot for 90 Lifetimes Later (Part 2)
So, this cloned soul appearing in the Otherworld won’t be out of place, right?
Then, the group remained silent, but at this moment, members of the Interstellar Corps started speaking.
Mimic Venerable King: You’re skirting the edge a bit here... Well, I previously only set the rule against human trafficking. At most, you’re selling an entire segment of experience and history, while those inheriting this experience and history might possibly turn out this way, not completely replacing it. I guess we can reluctantly allow it.
Mimic Venerable King: In the future, cloned souls like this will be the absolute minimum standard for listing items.
Steel Earth Star: I think this standard is still a bit low...
Giant Beast Star: Exactly, exactly, you flaunting your kids all day, every time you log on, you lower the group’s baseline. It’s really too much.
Holy Magic Star: Yeah, our group ended up having baseline rules set by the group leader Mimic Venerable King because of planets like yours.
Giant Beast Star: Actually considering selling cloned souls, such a cost-free profiteering item, selling it at custom prices. Everyone, let’s unite to resist this shameless Blue Star, and on top of that, flaunting all the time, it really gets on one’s nerves!
Witch Demon Star: +1, the Guardian at my place got triggered just seeing that.
...
The entire group was instantly filled with verbal attacks against Earth, with the intent of forming a united front to resist Earth’s shameless activities, feeling ashamed to be associated.
Meanwhile, Earth Consciousness seemed embarrassed by the scolding, staying silent without any response.
But in the private chat backstage, Earth Consciousness’s message box was nearly exploding with messages.
Giant Beast Star: 11111, sis, sell me a piece, please, there were too many people outside just now, sorry for that, I’ll apologize with a bow...
Iron Curtain Star: Is it authentic? Send a sample over for me to verify.
Holy Magic Star: Sis, sis, look, I’m the first to post a task. Sell me, sell me, no... I want to buy 10 pieces... no, I want to buy 90 pieces! Any discount for bulk purchase?
...
One frenzied private message after another flooded the screen, and in an instant the reserved quantity reached three digits.
Earth Consciousness suddenly displayed a smile like a capitalist.
Blue Star: How can one piece be enough, what if accidents happen? Besides, this isn’t the original, just like Mimic Venerable King said, it’s merely a piece of experience and history, even if you walk an identical path, how much can be inherited is uncertain, possibly several pieces are needed to have the same effect, so why not buy a few more pieces? Why not buy dozens as a backup?
Blue Star: If you want to buy 90 pieces, then you’re my dear friend. Come, come, I also offer loan services here. If you can’t pay all the credit points at once, you can opt for installment payments, though there will be a little interest added for installments...
So, those who originally planned to buy one piece were coaxed into buying a dozen or dozens...
Those who planned to buy dozens were coaxed into using installment payments, allowing them to slowly sell resources to repay the debt. This Blue Star sister is really considerate.
All worlds felt they had profited deeply, as if each world had a bright future.
And Earth, seeing the incoming credit points began happily shopping for Interstellar Corps products and other useful items.
Planet purifier? Buy!
Atmospheric repair device? Buy!
Planet radiation purification device? Buy!
Planet water source purifier? Buy!
Environment stabilizer, reducing extreme weather and extreme environments? This is good stuff, buy as well!
Buy, buy, buy!
Like buying all kinds of skincare and makeup products, even after giving Xue Dili 30%, Earth still had plenty leftover, so decisively entered shopping spree mode.
...
And having obtained these cloned souls, the other worlds began experiments.
Some planted the cloned soul in embryos, hoping to draw an extraordinary SSR card, while others couldn’t wait for it to grow and directly loaded it into freshly deceased unfortunate souls.
As a result, simultaneously crossing 99 worlds, "doctor Xue" was born.
When he awoke, he rubbed his head.
Wasn’t I just out shopping with the little bird? How did I end up here... Right, I got hit and killed by a big truck, yet why can’t I react to the runaway truck now?
Fine, that’s a minor issue, where am I now?
"Doctor Xue" saw various identities in the Otherworld, roughly understanding he was accidentally sent to the Otherworld by a major supernatural force, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
Oh no, have I been set up!
Who’s setting me up? Odysseus? It can’t be...
Doctor Xue’s heart skipped a beat, recalling that he had been discussing with Odysseus how to set up another version of himself, but now seeing the situation, turns out he’s the one being set up!
No way, as a Boston University associate professor, ending up as a Hero in the Otherworld, something must be off!
...
Meanwhile, Doctor Xue still didn’t know he had been setup by himself.
He was still negotiating with the Dragon Race for more support materials by selling Dragon Blood Fruit from their side.
This fruit was extremely crucial for them, the Greeks needed it to regain strength, ordinary people could also rely on it to grow stronger, the only downside was possibly becoming a mixed blood of Dragon Race.
But suddenly, he sneezed several times, feeling chills throughout his body.
"What’s wrong with me? Even now as a Dragon Race mixed blood, can I still catch a cold?" Doctor Xue opened his eyes, his golden pupils seemed to hide a lion, yet still unclear where the chills came from.
Is there some commoner trying to harm me? Or is some capital plotting against me?
He began growing paranoid, wondering if catching a virus from the Dragon Race side upon consuming Dragon Blood Fruit, something indeed worth researching.
Little did he know, his soul copy had been sold like crazy, now completely becoming the concurrently crossing 99 worlds "doctor Xue". Whether he’d become the "doctor Xue" returning from countless worlds, only fate would decide.
...
Xue Dili here, holding onto the few remnants of his dignity, set up another version of himself, feeling embarrassed, his dignity running low now.
"Here, the commission, factoring in the high-interest loans I’ve given out, you can still earn 910,000 credit points, enough? If not, come back for pocket money," said Earth Consciousness.
"Enough, enough!" Initially, Xue Dili planned to use the peculiar props for emergencies, unexpectedly profiting far more than imagined.
Now, he could even make lavish purchases within the group, even moving Old Undead’s Holy Mountain shouldn’t be a problem.
In the end, Xue Dili didn’t waste but bought some magma from Old Undead’s homeland, this overflowing with the purest Holy Light power magma being the strongest counter to the Undead.
He also bought numerous other crafted items from various other worlds, including but not limited to Substitute Grassman, Substitute Doll, World Shield Device, and "Cursed Blood·Modified", purchasing 10 pieces.
Plus some disposable gadgets he deemed useful, leaving 500,000 credit points behind before departing.
However, Xue Dili didn’t believe these items were useful on the battlefield between Apostles, these were more for the locals.
On the true Apostle Level battlefield, only numerical and mechanical direct confrontation would suffice.
The functionality of these gadgets was greatly diminished.
Just like despite being an ultimate evolved Bacteriophage from Cursed Blood, it held no awakening significance when battling Twelfth Apostle, merely extending Twelfth Apostle being controlled by Xue Dili.
After thoroughly preparing, after a night, Xue Dili arrived at Dragon Star, the crypt of the Old Demon Emperor.
"Old thing, ready yet? This time I seriously went all out, even sold my dignity for all this good stuff..." Xue Dili muttered to himself, then saw the scene unfold.
Old Demon Emperor, and below him countless "disabled" Beast-eared Maidens, they seemed to be confronting?
