"The System Mall of the Destiny Masters Association?" Jiang Che narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, Jiang Che was somewhat tempted.
With Chen Hao as an insider, Jiang Che naturally had an extremely thorough understanding of the Destiny Masters Association's inner workings.
The association's headquarters had a Destiny Masters Mall, and though Jiang Che didn’t yet know exactly how this mall had been created, it was undoubtedly another type of system!
This mall functioned similarly to all system malls—goods could only be exchanged using points.
However, the rank of the Human Pavilion only granted access to the Human Pavilion Mall.
The mall was managed by the Destiny Masters Association headquarters, meaning all the goods were supplied and listed by them!
Based on Jiang Che’s knowledge of the Destiny Masters Association in the Nine Heavens, this organization had branches of the Human Pavilion in every province.
While the reality might not be quite so exaggerated, the Destiny Masters Association was undoubtedly a terrifying force to be reckoned with!
"Master Jiang, that’s right... our Destiny Masters Association has a system mall, one that has been passed down since ancient times... I’ve lived for over 300 years and know this mall inside out..." Xu Mo said earnestly.
He possessed a check-in system and had already broken through to the Shattering Heaven Realm centuries ago, extending his lifespan by several hundred years. Over the years, he had checked in at countless locations... His personality was utterly laid-back, living purely on whims!
In these three centuries, he had traveled almost everywhere on Blue Star where check-ins were possible.
His cultivation had been stuck at the half-step Divine Transformation Realm for hundreds of years—partly because the Heavenly Dao’s rules were insufficient to trigger the Divine Tribulation, and partly because there were simply no more places left on Blue Star for him to check in.
...
"Lord Pavilion Master... are we really betraying the organization just like that?" Chen Hao trailed behind Xu Mo, posing the soul-searching question once more.
"I’ll say this one last time! This isn’t betrayal... it’s called ‘abandoning darkness for light’!" Xu Mo declared sternly.
What a joke—his system had already been upgraded by Master Jiang. How could he not cling to Jiang Che’s coattails now?
And as for Chen Hao... he had long suspected this guy was a mole planted within the organization. Before, it was just a hunch, but now... he was 90% certain that Chen Hao’s "Troll God System" was Jiang Che’s handiwork!
If Jiang Che could upgrade his system, surely creating a Troll God System wouldn’t be a problem, right?
"Uh..." Chen Hao was speechless, but soon he noticed something strange.
Xu Mo... was no longer a target of his system’s trolling?
Not just Xu Mo, but Xu Rong and the others too!
Originally, his Troll God System’s objective was to mess with all members of the Destiny Masters Association.
Yet, all the Destiny Masters who had pledged allegiance to Jiang Che... were no longer his targets?
"This—"
Chen Hao stared at Jiang Che’s retreating figure in shock, a wave of inexplicable dread washing over him.
Was his system... afraid of him?
......
Destiny Masters Association Headquarters.
This was Jiang Che’s first time openly visiting the association’s headquarters.
The architecture of the headquarters was ancient, likely dating back at least a thousand years!
Of course, Jiang Che wasn’t particularly interested in that—he was only here for the loot.
Soon, Jiang Che arrived before the association’s mall.
It was a peculiar interface, resembling something like a vending machine.
[Ding! Detected Destiny Masters Mall—‘Human Pavilion’ branch mall.]
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and stepped up to the glowing screen.
Xu Mo and the others followed closely behind.
While Chen Hao and the rest didn’t know what Jiang Che was planning, Xu Mo was practically vibrating with excitement.
He knew exactly what Jiang Che was capable of—Master Jiang might very well pull off looting the Destiny Masters Association’s mall.
After all, this was all about whose "rank" was higher!
[Human Pavilion Mall: Created by the first-generation Grand Pavilion Master of the Destiny Masters Association. A transdimensional trading mall capable of spanning countless realms. Current unlock progress: 5%.]
[Earth Pavilion Mall: This branch has not yet unlocked the Earth Pavilion Mall.]
[Heaven Pavilion Mall: This branch has not yet unlocked the Heaven Pavilion Mall.]
"Created by the first Grand Pavilion Master..." Jiang Che murmured to himself. It seemed the Destiny Masters Association’s influence was indeed vast.
Jiang Che was confident in himself, but he wasn’t blindly arrogant.
After all, when it came to Destiny Masters, everything boiled down to whose rank was higher!
Take the association’s so-called first-generation Grand Pavilion Master—someone capable of establishing a multiversal Destiny Masters Mall definitely wouldn’t have a low rank.
"System, can we loot this place?"
[Ding! Host can spend 2 billion points to infiltrate the ‘Human Pavilion Mall’ and enjoy unlimited free shopping.]
[Ding! Host can spend 15 billion points to infiltrate the ‘Earth Pavilion Mall’ and enjoy Earth Pavilion free shopping.]
[Ding! Host can spend...]
Jiang Che: "???"
You can actually shop for free here?
Now that’s something new!
Jiang Che was speechless. Two billion points... sure, unlimited free shopping in the Human Pavilion Mall sounded great, but the low-tier items there were already beneath his notice.
A million zeros added together still equal zero.
Wouldn’t it be better to spend those 2 billion points on something actually worthwhile in his own system?
Still, Jiang Che couldn’t help but crack a satisfied smile.
At the very least, this proved one thing—his system’s rank was still rising.
If it could infiltrate the Destiny Masters Association’s mall, how could it not be high?
...
Honestly, this revelation put Jiang Che’s mind at ease.
At least he didn’t have to worry as much now.
This system mall was built by the first-generation Grand Pavilion Master of the Destiny Masters Association—someone whose strength was undoubtedly formidable. Yet, his own system could infiltrate it and even steal goods undetected. If his rank wasn’t higher, it was at least on par!
"M-Master Jiang, did it work?" Xu Mo asked, his voice trembling.
But he quickly shut his mouth—Master Jiang’s grin was practically splitting his face. Of course it had worked!
This was insane! They could actually loot the Destiny Masters Association?
As the ancients said, when one man achieves enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
Jiang Che scratched his ear. This Xu Mo really had a talent for jumping to conclusions. He had initially thought this Human Pavilion Master would have some dignity, but now... he was just another bootlicker.
As for whether to put Xu Mo in his place...
Jiang Che didn’t bother. Xu Mo’s system had already become his inside man—this guy was essentially his puppet now. Every time Xu Mo checked in somewhere, Jiang Che would reap the rewards too.
The subsystem was like an eye, constantly watching Xu Mo’s every move!
Even if Xu Mo’s true allegiance was exposed later, Jiang Che could simply detonate the subsystem and erase all evidence.
"Oh, and from now on, you don’t need to stay in the Destiny Masters Association. With the spiritual energy resurgence, you can go out and hunt for treasures, then exchange them with me for spirit stones and pills. My prices will definitely be far more reasonable than your system mall’s."
People like Chen Hao and Xu Mo were already working for him, and now even the opportunities they stumbled upon would be exploited by Jiang Che.
Truly a great deal!
