Chapter 164: Chapter 9 Gu Family Legacy, Star Tower Masks, Dutch Treat (Added Extra Chapter for a Mistake! Third Update at 6 PM)_3

[Reminder: You can spend Contribution Points to exchange for a "Mask of Invisibility". When active inside the Star Tower, you may choose not to reveal your own appearance, physical features, etc. Lie Zhenzi respects your privacy in all matters.]

[Mask of Invisibility: Priced from 1 to 5 Points, differing prices represent different appearances, functionality is identical, pick according to personal preference—

[Child, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig]

[You may choose any one from the above mask categories. After exchange, it will directly conceal your physical characteristics and become ineffective once you leave the Star Tower.]

"Huh?"

Xu Shu stroked his chin; if it could conceal his aura, he certainly wouldn’t be stingy.

He really hadn’t expected that Lie Zhenzi would actually help conceal identities proactively in the city.

"Oh, no wonder! No wonder that Lu Bingwei, despite being pursued by the Astronomy Association, still has a place to stay in the safe zone. Turns out it’s because Lie Zhenzi helps conceal identities. With Lie Zhenzi being so high up, it’s even harder for the Astronomy Association to manage, but for me right now, it’s a good thing."

Xu Shu immediately chose to exchange and picked his favorite mask, the one he liked the most.

[You have spent 1 Contribution Point.]

[You have obtained the Mask of Invisibility: Ox Palace·Bullfighting. Your physical appearance has been automatically concealed and will not affect your social interactions.]

With a mask directly adhering to his head, Xu Shu saw in the mirror inside the elevator that his face now sported a truly ugly mask, resembling an animal.

"Isn’t this a little white sheep? Why is it called Bullfighting? Absurd, the drawing skills are too poor."

Xu Shu first seriously despised Lie Zhenzi’s drawing standards, thinking He should give a refund.

Then he stepped into the lobby.

Funny thing, inside the base level of the Star Tower, the lobby was spacious and the roads were broad.

There were many seats in the middle, and around them, storefronts selling a multitude of foods, even local specialties and crafts.

Of course, there were shops trading monster materials on the second floor.

Seeing people scattered across rows of seats, busily swiping on ’Promotion Networks’;

Seeing people walking back and forth, carrying big and small packages;

Even wheeling carts, selling Erosion Crystals and monster materials.

Of course, more than 99.99% were wearing masks of bulls, sheep, horses, fish, scorpions, all sorts, with extremely loose robes bearing mask prints, and similar heights, completely obscuring any personal characteristics.

This scene made Xu Shu feel a bit dazed for a moment, his emotions very complex.

It felt as if he had returned to the airports and train stations of his previous life.

"No wonder they really called it a plane ticket..."

Seeing so many people swiping on ’phones’ and everyone wearing masks, looking quite at ease.

Xu Shu, who had been a bit sneaky after entering the city, now completely let his guard down.

Hilarious, it’s just about occupying Gu Pan’s Promotion Drive.

Gu Pan, that guy, had deliberately made it sound so serious before, about becoming undocumented, pursued by the Astronomy Association, needing to launder his enrollment proof, as if otherwise, something terrible would happen.

Before, Xu Shu was worried that as soon as he entered the city, his exposure as a Transcendent would lead to a city-wide manhunt.

Now it seems, it didn’t matter at all, as long as he didn’t loudly announce to others ’I, Xu Shu, stole Gu Pan’s Promotion Drive’. With Lie Zhenzi’s help to cover up, how could the Astronomy Association catch him?

"Damn that Gu Pan, taking advantage of my lack of education, how dare he scare me, I definitely won’t let her off!"

Xu Shu went to a shop allowed by the Astronomy Association for ordinary people to set up, bought a sweet meat zongzi, a hot milk, and a meaty grilled sausage, which altogether cost him two hundred bucks.

These guys, doing business with Transcendents, were really selling at high prices.

But the taste of the zongzi was alright.

He was indulging himself, all the same.

Finding a seat in a less crowded area, Xu Shu sat down, relaxed, eating zongzi, and opened up the Promotion Network, no different from the others here.

A few people next to him noticed his arrival, just glanced at him, and continued to play with their phones without saying anything.

The whole lobby was extremely harmonious.

For Xu Shu, it was as if he had returned from an uncertain world of life and death to the peaceful society of his past life.

"...Praise Lie Zhenzi."

This time, he wasn’t praising out of insincerity.

Xu Shu checked and found that he did not receive any private messages from Li Fengtian.

If he really wanted to inform him of some secret, after so much time, he could have messaged him privately.

"Not messaging me, looking at me, certainly not out of goodwill, huh?" Xu Shu scoffed, opened the private message and sarcastically sent "Brother Li, why don’t you speak?"

The result was, a red dot popped up: [Send failed, please add the other party as a friend first.]

"Pfft, truly revealing its true colors after running out of tricks. He must have deleted me as a friend, perhaps I would have been attacked had I gone out at that time."

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn’t be bothered with him anymore, the grudge was noted, and he would bide his time, waiting for his power to increase, to make him pay.

A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years!

It was the team channel that had several unread messages, upon opening them.

*Team of 6 (5 Online)

"Guys, the old rule, for a class B level 2 furnace, tickets cost over 330, I’m the team leader and I’ll pay the most, the rest of you chip in a bit, haha." —Pure Sword Heart.

[Notice: Pure Sword Heart has opened the payment channel and initiated a team collection: 50 Contribution Points per person]

Notice: Xie Xiaochan has paid;

Notice: Yan Wumo has paid;

Notice: Zheng Qianrou has paid;

...

"Li Fengtian not online? What’s the deal... Gu Pan, little brother, although you’re a newbie, you need to chip in too, if you don’t have enough Contribution Points, you could sell your share of Erosion Crystals." —Pure Sword Heart.

"I can’t access the trade area." —Gu Pan.

"Little brother, don’t joke, that’s not funny." —Pure Sword Heart.

"Alright then, I’m a student, spot me." —Gu Pan.

[Notice: Gu Pan has left the team.]

"???? Damn it, what’s the deal with you Warriors, one playing poor, one logging off, you all like to weasel out of debts, huh! You wait, I’m going to post about you in the world channel!" —Pure Sword Heart.

Song Nianhui was about to throw his phone at home in anger, but suddenly he saw that his private message notification lit up.

[Gu Pan has sent you a private message]

[Li Fengtian has sent you a private message]

"Huh?" Song Nianhui froze.

A message from "Gu Pan" seemed normal.

But hadn’t Li Fengtian gone offline? What was he up to?
