Chapter 1043: Chapter 483 Cheater Tool_3

[You inquire about Gege Wu’s most treasured possession.]

[Gege Wu’s eyes instantly filled with extreme vigilance as she faced you, "You dare covet my most treasured possession?" At the same time, she frantically rummaged through her garments, and upon confirming that the item was undamaged, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she hurriedly hid the item behind her back.]

[However, in the fleeting moment, you still managed to catch a glimpse of the item Gege Wu produced: a palm-sized wooden carving of a human figure.]

[Shape Splitter: A precious Cheater Tool that, when used, can separate a non-advanced skin from the main body, creating an independent avatar capable of coexisting with the main body. The avatar has the ability to act independently, without sharing experience, Divinity, or lifespan with the main body. However, its level and Star Level can’t surpass that of the main body. Should the main body die, the avatar would immediately perish as well. The main body can recall the avatar back within their field of vision at any time, and the main body’s consciousness can enter any avatar at will. Remaining uses: 3 times.]

"Huh?"

Mu You was startled, he had never heard the term ’Cheater Tool’ before.

’Cheater’, as the interpretation suggests, usually refers to those who participated in the game’s beta testing, gaining an understanding of the game mechanics earlier than other players, almost to the point of cheating within the game.

And a tool especially created for cheaters could even be simply considered as a ’cheating tool’!

This was evidently reflected in the tool’s described effect: the ability to detach a skin from the body to form an independent avatar!

Did this mean that in the game, one could simultaneously control multiple characters?

["The Shape Splitter was a gift from my teacher, it is the most valuable treasure to me, and no one can take it away!" Gege Wu clutched the wooden carving tightly, but when she mentioned her ’teacher’, her face lit up with a proud gleam, resembling a little girl boasting about her toys.]

Mu You watched in astonishment, this tool was obviously meant for fools; a regular citizen of the Star Spirit World like her didn’t even have skins, so to possess such a tool was sheer waste!

Thinking about it, this object was a gift from her teacher, but who in the world was her teacher, so generous and magnificent?

[You ask about Gege Wu’s teacher.]

["My teacher, known as ’Lord of Calamity,’ is the greatest Magic Potion Master in the entire world, unparalleled, and worthy of everyone’s respect..." You noticed that when Gege Wu mentioned her teacher’s name, her aged eyes radiated a mix of adoration and love.]

"Calamity?"

Mu You was taken aback. With the name ’Lord of Calamity’ coupled with Magic Potion Master, he instinctively thought of Vivian.

However, upon reflection, it seemed unlikely. Although Vivian was once a celebrated figure in the Star Spirit World, when it came to age, she was only over nine hundred years old. Meanwhile, this individual had survived from the previous era, being at least four thousand years old — it would be more likely for her to be a teacher to Vivian.

[As the Old Witch continued her long-winded praise of her great teacher, you suddenly interrupted Gege Wu, inquiring about the entrance to the Bitter Garden.]

[Upon hearing the words ’Bitter Garden’, Gege Wu immediately ceased talking, turned her head to look at you with bewilderment, and hastily demanded to know why you were aware that she had control over the entrance to the Bitter Garden.]

Damn, she just gave herself away!

Of course, Mu You wasn’t certain that the Bitter Garden even existed; he had simply followed one of the options and never expected her to confess directly.

Given that she apparently controlled the entrance to Sky City, who exactly was she?

[Instead of answering her question, you continued with the flow and asked directly what it would take for her to grant you access to the entrance.]

[Gege Wu’s gaze darted uneasily between you and Fuya, and after a lengthy hesitation, she finally spoke, "I can let you enter Bitter Garden, but only if you first pass my teacher’s test!"]

["What test?" you ask.]

[Gege Wu took out a pink Potion and handed it to you, "This is a ’Sweet Potion.’"]

"Sweet Potion? Doesn’t sound familiar. Have you heard of it?" Fuya messages you.

"I haven’t either." Mu You shook his head.

He hadn’t encountered such a potion even in Vivian’s Magic Potion Book.

["Of course you haven’t seen it, this is a fourth-tier magic potion created by my teacher. Once consumed, it immediately suppresses all curses brought about by Black Magic, it truly is a stroke of genius!" Gege Wu boasted proudly.]

Mu You was astounded; a potion that could suppress Black Magic curses?

As a Sorcerer, someone who regularly dealt with Black Magic, he fully grasped what such a potion signified. If such magic potions were mass-produced, Black Magic would no longer be taboo; any Wizard could freely use Black Magic, and in case of losing control, a potion would suffice!

Moreover, she mentioned ’suppressing all Black Magic curses,’ and this ’all’ could even include the deep-seated curses of Black Magic — the curse upon one’s humanity!

If it really could avoid even the curses on humanity, then there was no need for Vivian and the others to have taken their own lives in the past. Calling this potion a work of genius was absolutely no exaggeration!

["The test my teacher has set forth is to reverse-engineer this potion’s formula and to concoct a corresponding legendary potion," Gege Wu explained.]

["Fourth-tier? Legendary potion? Are you kidding me?" Fuya exclaimed in shock.]

Fourth-tier magic potions, theoretically, could be concocted by a third-tier Magic Potion Master, but when paired with a quality requirement, the difficulty increased exponentially. With each increase in quality level, the demands on a Magic Potion Master soared. To create a fourth-tier legendary magic potion, it was assumed that at least an eighth-tier Magic Potion Master would be capable!

However, in the current Star Spirit World, there were no eighth-tier Magic Potion Masters to be found, with the highest being at the seventh-tier.

In other words, this was an impossible task...

["It’s true! These are the requirements my teacher left behind, and I must meet them myself, including myself, to re-enter Bitter Garden and see my teacher once again..." Gege Wu’s expression turned bitter as she clutched at her white hair and spoke in agony: "For this goal, I’ve studied here for nearly four thousand years, aging from a young girl to this ghastly appearance you see before you... Yet to this day, I can only concoct epic potions, I know that legendary-level, is a threshold I can never cross..."]

Fuya looked on in astonishment. Waiting here for four thousand years, from youth to old age, all for such a nebulous promise?

Could it be certain she hadn’t encountered a scammer?
