As soon as he opened the special privilege purchase section, the first item he saw was an Extra Item Card Slot—the same as what the mage merchant had sold before.
It was a B-grade item.
However, the price had increased significantly, costing a full 150,000 wave points.
In other words, across these fifty zones, at most only three people could obtain an extra item card slot.
Bai Qiu was certain this was a shared stock, because the listing clearly showed: Stock: 1/3—meaning two had already been purchased.
There was no hesitation—he bought it immediately.
He wasn’t sure whether he could still use an additional slot, but after trying it, and as the item disappeared, Bai Qiu knew he had succeeded.
His item card slots had now increased to five.
As for the other two buyers, it was easy to guess—they were Zhang Shiyao and Li Qingshan.
Bai Qiu then looked at the second item.
Random Transcendent Item Card (B-grade)
Description: After purchase, randomly draws one B-grade item card.
Price: 500,000 wave points
Stock: 1/2
Without hesitation, Bai Qiu clicked to purchase it.
It was like getting a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep—now his third item card slot was basically decided.
He then looked at the third item.
This third special privilege item had only one in stock—and only he was eligible to purchase it.
Mountain and River Map Fragment (B+ grade)
Description: The Mountain and River Map can directly locate various herbs, natural treasures, and energy-rich feng shui lands within its coverage area. Collecting all nine fragments allows it to be combined into a complete Mountain and River Map.
The complete Mountain and River Map covers the entire Earth.
Note: The map will change along with the world, including the emergence or disappearance of natural treasures…
Price: 1,000,000 wave points
Stock: 1/1
This item was essentially an upgraded map.
Unlike normal exploration, it didn’t require increasing exploration progress—it could directly survey most of the world’s resources.
Since nine fragments could form a complete map, that meant each fragment covered roughly one-ninth of the Earth’s surface, including the oceans.
If it happened to cover his current region, then the entire Central Plains—even an entire continent—could be revealed.
The only concern was if it unlocked a distant region like Northern Europe…
That would be practically useless for him right now.
After some thought, Bai Qiu realized that even after purchasing the map, his remaining wave points would still be enough to buy the Star Silver and affinity potions he needed.
Without further hesitation, he clicked to purchase it.
After about five minutes of transactions, Bai Qiu spent all his remaining wave points.
He obtained:
- Mountain and River Map Fragment ×1
- Star Silver ×21
- Various C-grade elemental affinity potions ×60
- Tissue packs ×2
He tossed the map fragment into his storage card, put the Star Silver into the spatial bracelet, and stored the elemental affinity potions in his storage ring.
As for the tissues…
After organizing everything, Bai Qiu left the Wave Shop and prepared to head to the Tower of Heaven to check its rules.
He was actually confident in taking first place.
However, his Purgatory Darkflame Spear had been left behind in Zone 2203 during the battle the day before yesterday.
Now, he had lost his most suitable weapon.
Of course, he could still use his Noble Phantasms, and he still had plenty of polearms…
Ever since the Purgatory Darkflame Spear came into being, the drop rate of polearms he obtained from farming monsters had been quite high.
Each of them could be considered a lower-tier substitute for it.
He currently had no fewer than five C-grade spears alone, so clearing the Tower of Heaven and taking first place posed little pressure.
Thanks to the crowd making way for him, Bai Qiu easily arrived before the Tower of Heaven.
The tower occupied a large area, with a radius of fifty meters.
It appeared to have twelve floors, each about ten meters tall—making the total height roughly 120 meters.
But Bai Qiu knew this was merely its outward appearance.
Inside, it was a completely different world.
After all, if it really only had twelve floors, how did Zhang Shiyao reach the 46th floor?
There were quite a few rules for the Tower of Heaven, and overall, they were extremely favorable for Bai Qiu…
1. The Tower of Heaven can only be challenged once per week.
2. Players entering the tower fight in the form of a will incarnation. Death upon failure does not result in real death.
3. Below the 50th floor, each cleared floor grants a small reward, and every five floors grants a promotion reward.
4. After defeating enemies, all skill cooldowns within 24 hours are reset, and all status conditions are fully restored.
(Note: cooldowns for weapons and equipment are not restored.)
5. After defeating enemies, players have five minutes of idle time on the spot. Exceeding this limit results in immediate expulsion from the tower.
After reading the rules, a player happened to walk out of the tower.
He excitedly shouted:
“Woohoo! Brothers! Floor 27! I’m the second-best tower climber in Zone 2233!”
He closed his eyes, immersed in his own celebration, swaying and dancing leisurely on the steps.
But when he realized no one in the audience was cheering, he cautiously opened one eye.
The crowd was looking at him like he was an idiot.
Some were even covering their mouths to suppress laughter, their faces turning red from holding it in.
Following their gaze, he turned his head—and saw Bai Qiu standing at the base of the steps, arms crossed, watching him with interest…
The reason he noticed Bai Qiu so quickly was simple: while the surrounding crowd was tightly packed, a few spaces had been deliberately left open around Bai Qiu.
“Uh… hehe… third place… third place,” he said awkwardly, then hurriedly ran down.
At the moment he passed by Bai Qiu, he heard his voice by his ear:
“Not bad.”
When he suddenly turned his head to look back, Bai Qiu had already stepped into the tower—his figure disappearing from sight.
….
Tower of Heaven — Floor 1
The monster was an old acquaintance—or rather, an old familiar foe.
Dragonfang Soldier — Level 31
(Stats omitted.)
Aside from slightly higher base attributes, a level 31 Dragonfang Soldier could only spit fireballs and had no other abilities.
Bai Qiu didn’t even bother taking out a weapon.
With a casual slap, he dispersed the incoming fireball.
Watching the Dragonfang Soldier charge toward him at high speed, Bai Qiu slowly shook his head and swung his hand again.
The Dragonfang Soldier was sent flying dozens of meters and turned into white light midair, disappearing instantly.
The environment inside the Tower of Heaven was entirely blue.
The semi-transparent blue floor resembled glass, yet no matter how Bai Qiu stepped on it, he couldn’t affect it in the slightest.
Everything here was indestructible.
The space had a radius of fifty meters and a height of fifty meters.
Logically, it wasn’t small—but right now he was only facing low-level monsters.
As stronger enemies appeared later, would this space eventually become overcrowded?
Bai Qiu gave it a brief glance and stopped paying attention.
At that moment, he took out the Random Transcendent Item Card and used it directly.
After being betrayed once, Bai Qiu had become much more cautious.
If it hadn’t been for what happened in Zone 2203, he would’ve used such treasures immediately without hesitation or concern for others seeing it.
Now, he fully understood the principle of not flaunting wealth.
His actions were no longer carefree—he had become far more careful and vigilant.
Even in Zone 2233, the place that admired him the most, he no longer let down his guard.
Some lessons only need to be learned once.
[Transcendent Item Card — Radiant Body (B-grade)]
Radiant Body — B-grade Lv.1 (Upgradeable)
After use:
Strength +20%
Magic +20%
Endurance +40%
Agility +20%
Spirit +20%
(All percentages can scale with level.)
Skill: Radiant Shard
Every 24 hours, generates one Radiant Shard.
Using a shard deploys a 33-meter barrier that can block one E-grade attack. (Scalable)
Radiant Crystal:
Three Radiant Shards can be combined into one Radiant Crystal.
Using it deploys a 43-meter barrier that can block one D-grade attack. (Scalable)
Radiant Gem:
Three Radiant Crystals can be combined into one Radiant Gem.
Using it deploys a 53-meter barrier that can block one C-grade attack. (Scalable)
Radiant Star:
Ten Radiant Gems can be combined into one Radiant Star.
Using it deploys a 53-meter barrier that can block one B-grade attack. (Not scalable)
Bai Qiu immediately equipped it and raised its level to 26.
As for why he didn’t push it all the way to level 31—the reason was simple.
He had run out of item cards…
Having previously equipped the higher-tier Holy Demonic Body, Bai Qiu naturally didn’t feel any discomfort from equipping the Radiant Body item card.
On the contrary, the boost in his attributes left him feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Looking at the Radiant Body item card again, its stats had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Radiant Body — Level 26
Strength +70%
Magic +70%
Endurance +140%
Agility +70%
Spirit +70%
Skill: Radiant Shard
Now generates one Radiant Shard every 12 hours.
For every level gained, the Radiant Body item card increases four attributes by 2% and endurance by 4%.
Every ten levels, the production cooldown of Radiant Shards is reduced by 6 hours.
However, the time required to produce a Radiant Star was still far too long…
Even so, setting aside the shield-generating ability, the base stat boosts it provided already far surpassed those of enhancement cards.
This was the advantage of a B-grade item card.
And after equipping the Radiant Body, Bai Qiu had also gained a second transcendent physique.
Just as Bai Qiu was about to take out the Mountain and River Map Fragment to examine it, the entire Tower of Heaven suddenly glowed red, and a countdown panel appeared before him.
Expulsion from Tower Countdown: 10, 9…
“Damn it!” Bai Qiu was startled.
He quickly selected a reward at random and rushed up the stairs to the second floor.
