Chapter 559: Everyone Gains Something, Change of Destiny (Revised)
"This is a rare opportunity!"
A friendly voice sounded in his ears. Even the infinite dragon god Orpheus, who looked down on all living things in his own world and was like a ruthless heaven, and the arrogant and unbridled demon lord who roared between heaven and earth, gave the initial favorability value full.
Not to mention the remaining four, the favorability was rising, and it seemed that they were about to reach the level of trust.
However, they did not speak rashly, but sat in their seats, with some thoughts in their eyes.
Zhao Chen was not in a hurry to urge them to ask questions. Anyway, the opportunity was theirs, and how to grasp it was their business. He only needed to give some answers.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Uh, it seemed that something was wrong. If Zhao Chen's previous voice was excluded, it seemed that this place had always been so quiet.
His right hand slowly grasped the guild's weapon, the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, and his left hand was also tentatively touching the prop on his finger. Ainz Ooal Gown, who suddenly came here from the base camp "Nazarik Underground Tomb" and received countless information, was full of waves in his heart.
Although he had a good impression of the strong man who called himself the owner in front of him, he did not lose his vigilance.
Having just traveled from the game world to another world, and coming to such a mysterious dimensional store, Ainz Ooal Gown needed some time to sort out the current situation and make sure that his personal safety would not be a problem!
"Although from the information in my mind, this should not be aimed at me or the guild, but why is it me, and not Albedo, Demiurge and other guardians? Is it because they were originally NPCs?"
"Also, being able to pull me here directly from the Great Tomb of Nazarick and cut off my relationship with the Great Tomb, this kind of strength is probably..."
Maintaining his wits and courage with the air, Ainz was thinking about the reasons why he came back here, and the possible conspiracy behind it.
At the same time, in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Albedo and Demiurge were panicked when they watched their Lord Ainz disappear after walking through a door.
"Ahhhh, Master Ainz!!!"
"Hurry up and notify the Guardians of each floor, mobilize all forces, and find Master Ainz!"
So, the entire Nazarick Underground Tomb began a chaotic "Search for Master Ainz" operation
"It would be great if Demiurge was here. It's more convenient to leave this kind of brain-twisting thing to him. And, um, this smell?"
Just as Ainz's thoughts flew to some unknown place, he clearly sensed a familiar smell, and it made him want to eat.
This is a very incredible thing for Ainz, who has become an undead, because the undead have no appetite!
Looking down, the source of this smell is right in front of him. It is the smooth liquid in the cup. This liquid has been tasted by Ainz countless times when he worked overtime at night because it can refresh him.
Inexplicably, an impulse surged in his heart, causing Ainz to subconsciously pick up the cup of coffee and put it into his mouth.
His intuition told him that if he didn't drink this cup of coffee, he might regret it for a long time, but his vigilance and caution gave rise to a new conspiracy theory in his heart.
However, when the liquid passed through the bones in his mouth, he threw all these thoughts out of his mind, because Ainz could really feel the taste of coffee!
Transforming from a human to an undead means many benefits, but it will bring many inconveniences, even torment.
One of them is appetite and taste, after all, skeletons don't have taste organs and digestive organs.
Although Ainz's time in the journey was not long, during this time, he missed the taste of human food very much, and even wanted to use many props of the guild to try to achieve this.
Unfortunately, it didn't work, which made him decide to give up this unrealistic idea.
But now, Ainz could really feel the taste!
And it was the familiar taste in his memory, the special taste of coffee!
Ah, I really miss this taste.
When Ainz enjoyed the long-lost taste of coffee and was reminded of all the memories of his past as a human, his own emotions appeared along with the memories.
This also caused the undead's passive [Forced Calmness] to continue to surge in his body, causing Ainz's entire skeleton to gradually turn green.
Ainz, who was constantly turning green, attracted the attention of several customers around him. They were a little curious about what he was doing. Why did he suddenly turn green while drinking tea?
Could it be some special training method/demon power/immortal method?
For them, although the tea in front of them was very much to their liking, it was not to the extent that it would change like this.
So the problem must be with this skeleton. They wanted to use their spiritual sense to explore it, but the idea was dispelled by the warning signs that surged into their hearts the moment it appeared.
However, Rimuru was not included in this. Like Ainz, he was also tasting the familiar and memorable drink in the cup in front of him, so he didn't pay attention to the situation here.
While drinking the drink, the great sage in Rimuru's mind was also rapidly analyzing the massive amount of information that had previously poured in.
It should be noted here that with the continuous upgrading of the Dimension Store and the increase of its ancillary facilities, the basic information transmitted to new customers at the beginning is also increasing.
Therefore, the amount of information has become much larger. If compared with the beginning, it is dozens of times larger!
This is not an exaggeration. The basic information of the Dimension Store itself, the information of the ancillary facilities Dimension Plaza, Dimension Street Market and Infinite Arena, the information of the open world, etc., will all be transmitted to new customers.
About three minutes after Ainz began to turn green, the customers who had been silent all the time finally chose to speak.
The first to speak was the Demon Lord. There was no extra emotion in his voice, only coldness and arrogance.
"I want to know, if I want to destroy the sky, what price do I have to pay?"
This sentence surprised the Queen Mother sitting next to the Demon Lord. How dare she say such arrogant words?
As the current ruler of the Heavenly Court, she can be said to be a loyal believer in the Way of Heaven and the Will of Heaven. She would be surprised to hear someone suddenly want to go against the sky, not to mention that the Demon Lord said to destroy the sky as soon as he opened his mouth!
Then something happened that surprised her and shocked her to the point of doubting her life, because the shopkeeper in front of her actually nodded!
Does this mean that the other party really has the ability to destroy the sky?
Zhao Chen was not surprised to hear the question from the Demon Lord, because the other party's ultimate goal is this, and the Dimension Store has created a very powerful image, so it is normal to ask this question.
Therefore, Zhao Chen also gave the answer that the Demon Lord wanted: "In the Dimension Store, the only price that customers need to pay is the Dimension Coin. If you want to buy something or want to do something that you can't do yourself, you only need to pay the corresponding Dimension Coin!"
"So, what you said about 'destroying the sky' is not a problem. I can even give you multiple ways to achieve your goal 100%. The first way is to improve yourself and make your strength surpass the sky, so that you can destroy the sky yourself."
While speaking, Zhao Chen casually flicked his right hand, and several commodity cards appeared in the air, each exuding a terrifying momentum, which shocked the Demon Lord.
The skills alone have such a powerful power, which the Demon Lord has never felt in the past years. He can already imagine how powerful he will be if he can successfully practice these skills!
"These are the skills that can be practiced to the point of having the power of "destroying the sky". Those who have successfully practiced now have the ability to kill the sky head-on!"
Before the Demon Lord and several customers next to him recovered from their shock, these cards exuding terrifying momentum dissipated in the air, and the pressure that almost made them breathless also dissipated
Zhao Chen maintained a shopkeeper-like smile and continued to introduce: "The second method is simpler, and targeted commissions are issued. If the reward you offer is attractive enough, you can invite powerful enough customers to destroy the Heavenly Dao. The third method is the simplest, pay 5 billion dimensional coins, and let the store take care of this problem on your behalf, guaranteeing a perfect solution without any sequelae!"
The plain voice with a hint of smile was heard by them, and they almost unanimously believed that this was the truth, not an exaggeration.
Ainz, who looked a little too green because of the hundreds of layers of forced calm passive, was suddenly separated from the joy of being able to taste the coffee. The talent of "fighting wits and courage with the air" came into play again.
For a moment, Ainz wanted to add a lot of buffs to himself first, and then use all the props that could be used to prevent him from really encountering any conspiracy against him.
Rimuru, who was sitting on the far right, was also secretly communicating with the [Great Sage]: "Can you analyze what those things just now are?"
'The meaning is unknown and the existence form cannot be analyzed, but judging from the information obtained by assimilation, it should be a special product of this place called "Dimension Store" - commodity cards, similar to space equipment, with a certain amount of items sealed inside'
"Commodity cards and commodities? Then can we infer the degree of danger here?"
Rimuru, who maintained his original form, continued to ask, and the Great Sage also gave an answer based on the known information.
‘The degree of danger is unknown, but judging from the known information, as long as these regulations are not violated, this is an absolutely safe place’
Then, countless words floated in Rimuru’s mind, each of which was a clearly written store rule, which was clear at a glance.
Hearing the shopkeeper’s reply, the Demon Lord hesitated a little, not because he did not believe the shopkeeper’s statement, but because he was thinking about what choice he should make.
From the perspective of time and stability, the third option is undoubtedly the simplest and fastest. He can even slowly gather Dugu Baitian’s partners to watch the scene of Tiandao being beaten up.
Well, it’s a bit exciting to think about it!
As for the price, it’s just 5 billion dimensional coins.
The Demon Lord, who has learned the corresponding trading rules from the basic information of the store he already knows, doesn’t care about these dimensional coins. They are all ancient gods and demons with rich wealth, and it is not difficult to pay these dimensional coins.
However, in this way, if you watch others solve Tiandao, you won’t have the refreshing feeling of doing it yourself.
Sure enough, it’s better to do it yourself, right?
After pondering for a moment, the Demon Lord decided to go back to discuss it with Dugu Baitian and other partners. After all, this was not his own matter. He had to explain and discuss it with them so that he could make a decision.
Thinking of this, the Demon Lord, who was still in a state of remnant soul, changed the subject and asked the second question: "If I want to return to the heyday, how many dimensional coins will I need to pay?"
Still a little uncomfortable with this method of using dimensional coins as a measure of transaction.
"Not much. It takes 100 million to repair the soul and 600 million to reconstruct the body. A total of 700 million dimensional coins can restore you to your peak and the most perfect state."
Such a price was within the range expected by the devil, so he happily accepted the deal, took out 80% of the items in his collection, and was successfully promoted to the thirteenth person in the store with a personal asset of over one billion. Youth level member.
As the beam of soft light dissipated, the demon lord who once had unparalleled power, ruled the world, and was proud of the world officially returned, and he was in his peak and perfect state!
After moving his hands and feet, the Demon Lord with white hair as white as snow felt a little unreal, because there was really no flaw in his current body.
This familiar feeling is as if it is my original body that has been tempered for countless years, rather than being rebuilt from scratch!
There was a flash of disbelief in his eyes. The soul and body could be reshaped with just a little bit of remnant soul, and the shape was extremely perfect. It could be like this last morning, so what about resurrection?
At the same time that this thought came to the mind of the Demon Lord, the Queen Mother sitting on his right had already asked: "May I ask the shop owner, how many dimensional coins do you need to pay if you want to resurrect a person whose soul has dissipated?"
"It depends on the person you want to resurrect. It is determined by the time of death, the conditions of the world in which they are located, and their own cultivation. After all, the person you want to resurrect will not be an ordinary person."
As soon as these words came out, the Demon Lord and the Queen Mother did not speak anymore, and sat quietly in their seats thinking about something.
So the place fell into silence again, and it didn't end until Ainz stood up.
"I already know the specific situation. The only question is how we can leave this place. After all, if it's just here, it can't be considered a store, right?"
Ainz's deep and majestic voice sounded, and while asking his question, it also attracted Rimuru's attention.
Ainz was a little curious. How could a skeleton make sounds without any vocal organs?
Is it through magic skills like myself, or some other method?
"Behind you is the product area of the store. If you want to go to Dimensional Plaza and Dimensional Market, you only need to teleport through your membership card. So, do you have any other questions?"
After listening to the shop owner's answer, the six people sitting turned their heads and looked behind them at the same time. Through the screen, what they saw was the scene of countless customers shuttling through the many shelves, which made them a little moved.
Afterwards, Ainz and the Demon Lord bid farewell to the shop owner and entered the merchandise area.
After stepping through the light curtain, countless eyes fell on the two of them, especially Ainz.
After all, it is really rare to see a skeleton wearing a gorgeous cloak and still emitting green light.
The Demon Lord, who has restrained his overall momentum, is very eye-catching due to his own temperament, but in many worlds, this performance is not very special.
Ainz, who was baptized by the gaze, suddenly stiffened, and his right hand holding Ainz Ooal Gown's staff became harder and harder. If it weren't for the compulsive calm passivity still on him, he would have added several buffs and defensive properties to himself. of magic.
"There are a lot of strong people, and many of them have natural strong restraint on me. Even just looking at me brings me the threat of death. It seems that this world is really dangerous!"
At this moment, Ainz finally confirmed that he was traveling through an extremely dangerous world, and that his previous cautious approach was completely correct.
As for the Demon Lord, he is different from Ainz who was a social beast at first and later became an undead.
In his opinion, all this was just a small scene and he didn't take it to heart at all. After glancing around, he just started browsing the shelves.
At the same time, the four customers, Queen Mother, Tushan Yaya, Rimuru, and Ophis, who were still in the reception area, continued to ask questions to the shop owner.
"That's it, do you have any other questions?"
"So that's the case, no wonder!" The Queen Mother, who understood the true situation, sighed, stood up and saluted Zhao Chen, "Thank you to the shopkeeper for clarifying the confusion. I already know what to do next."
Immediately, the Queen Mother disappeared from the reception area and returned directly to the heaven. She needed to have a good talk with her daughters.
