The Mystery of Overpowered Props

"Ahhh!"

Not long after, two startled cries echoed in the store.

Yao Ziyan didn't need to turn around to know what had happened. Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang had been slain by the wolves in the Tower of Trials again.

The two girls reappeared on the grassland, both wearing expressions of lingering fear. The scene of the massive gray wolf lunging at them, jaws wide open, was still fresh in their minds.

But despite their fear, neither of them was willing to give up.

"I refuse to believe this! I can't accept that I can't even kill a single monster!"

"Exactly! One more try! I'll clear the first floor no matter what!"

Thus began their repeated struggles.

Unsurprisingly, they were both killed again by the wolves.

"Ahhhhhh!"

After dying dozens of times, Jiang Wanshang finally snapped. She ripped off her helmet and let out a frustrated scream. "I can't take this anymore! Fifty times! I've died fifty times! Why can't I clear the first floor?!"

Yao Ziyan maintained a calm demeanor, though if one looked closely, they could see a trace of amusement in her eyes. Luo Chuan had told her earlier that as a professional clerk, she must never laugh at customers—unless she absolutely couldn't hold it in.

At that moment, Jiang Wanshang glanced at Gu Yunxi's screen and cried out in disbelief.

"Wait! Why can she use spiritual power? And weapons too?!"

On the screen, Gu Yunxi wielded a gleaming green sword, leaping gracefully as she fought. Despite being surrounded by three wolves, she was holding her own, though with some difficulty.

Yao Ziyan chuckled softly, her voice carrying a hint of mischief. "Did you notice the mall icon in the upper right corner of your game interface?"

"Huh?" Jiang Wanshang blinked, momentarily stunned.

In her earlier attempts, her focus had been solely on surviving the wolves' attacks, and she hadn't paid attention to the rest of the interface.

Realizing what Yao Ziyan meant, she laughed awkwardly. "Oh... hahaha, so that's how it is..."

Yao Ziyan's calm explanation made her reevaluate. If the store clerk knew such detailed information, she couldn't possibly be ordinary.

Determined, Jiang Wanshang put her helmet back on and re-entered the game. This time, she immediately clicked on the mall icon Yao Ziyan had pointed out.

Sure enough, a new interface opened before her, revealing a variety of items, including weapons and cultivation levels. Players could upgrade their cultivation realm, starting as ordinary humans and advancing through Mortal Awakening, Spiritual Sense, and even as far as Pathseeker.

Jiang Wanshang couldn't help but marvel—could the game really let her experience such lofty realms?

The weapon selection intrigued her even more. On the Azure Continent, practitioners used spiritual weapons ranked by quality: Yellow, Mystic, Earth, and Heaven. Each level of weaponry boasted greater power, though only if the user could wield it effectively.

Above these were legendary Holy Weapons, Emperor Weapons, and the mythical Celestial Weapons. However, in the game's store, the highest available rank was the Holy Weapon.

But the most puzzling options were items she had never heard of before.

"What is... Gatling?!" she murmured.

The description claimed it had the power of a Mystic weapon and didn't even require spiritual energy to operate.

Then there was the Star Destroyer. Its name alone suggested the terrifying ability to obliterate stars. Even more outrageous, it was listed in the same tier as Holy Weapons!

Jiang Wanshang stared at the options, her face a mix of amazement and disbelief. "This is absurd... but I have to try it!"
