Enter the secret realm of trading

Apart from the attribute boosts and the class - transfer opportunity, there were additional rewards of a [Trading Secret Realm Pass] and [Praise to Goddess of Luck].

The Trading Secret Realm Pass was a golden card, about the size of a bank card. There were no elaborate spiral patterns or tower - shaped markings on it.

[With this pass, one can enter the Trading Secret Realm].

"Trading Secret Realm?"

Kai Blake tried to recall information related to the Trading Secret Realm in his mind.

"According to the books, it's one of the special neutral zones in the Tower of Eternity. One can enter it with a [Temporary Pass] or a [Permanent Pass]. Once inside, everyone's aura and appearance will be hidden, and only a random number will represent their identity."

Looking at the golden card again, Kai Blake's eyes glowed with eagerness.

What a great item!

A pass to the Trading Secret Realm, even a temporary one, could sell for a high price of 1000 gold coins!

The one in front of Kai Blake was a permanent pass with unlimited uses, and its value was immeasurable!

Some large families, even with War - God - level powerhouses in charge, might not have a pass of this level!

Kai Blake put away the golden card, planning to visit the Trading Secret Realm later.

After clearing the newbie dungeon, Kai Blake had leveled up to 10 in one go, and it was time to change his equipment.

Moreover, he needed some materials and items for his future exploration plans, which he had to prepare in advance.

Kai Blake then looked at the last reward:

"Praise to Goddess of Luck?"

[The child of the tower blessed by the Tower of Eternity will have their rating increased by one level each time they clear a dungeon or break through the floors of the Tower of Eternity]

"Whoa——"

The significance of this blessing exceeded Kai Blake's imagination!

To be blunt, all the rewards Kai Blake had received before combined were not as valuable as [Praise to Goddess of Luck]!

A permanent increase in the rating by one level!

What did that mean?

If Kai Blake could achieve a perfect clearance, that is, an SSS - level rating, with [Praise to Goddess of Luck], it would be an SSSS - level rating!

It even exceeded the upper limit of the Tower of Eternity itself!

With this blessing, Kai Blake's growth rate would be beyond everyone's imagination!

"No wonder it's a reward for SSS - level clearance of the hidden level!"

Kai Blake thought to himself, "The three supreme powerhouses who rose successively in the human race only cleared the newbie dungeon with an SSS - level rating. No one triggered the hidden level!"

"That means, [Praise to Goddess of Luck] exists only for me!"

In other words, Kai Blake's growth rate, potential, and even his upper limit might be stronger than those of the supreme powerhouses!

Of course, this was only a theoretical possibility!

Kai Blake was self - aware. If he exposed his true identity now, a single thought from a demon god in the Abyss Plane could kill him!

A dead genius is worse than a living ant!

Surviving, fulfilling his potential, and achieving the position of the supreme powerhouse were the most important things for Kai Blake!

Putting away the introduction of the eternal blessing, Kai Blake calmed himself down.

"Since it's my first time entering the Tower of Eternity, I can only try the newbie dungeon. Other areas of the Tower of Eternity are temporarily inaccessible."

Kai Blake looked at the golden pass in his palm and fell into thought.

"Should I go to the Trading Secret Realm today?"

"If I go, is there a risk of exposing my identity?"

"According to the introduction in the textbook, there shouldn't be. Besides, if I want to become stronger, I need a huge amount of resources, and I have to go to the Trading Secret Realm!"

Kai Blake made up his mind.

Better early than late!

What will be, will be.

He pressed his thumb on the pass, and golden light filled Kai Blake's vision, enveloping his entire body.

A long string of numbers mixed with English letters emerged in Kai Blake's mind.

This was his number in the Trading Secret Realm.

The next moment, the golden light receded, and Kai Blake appeared in a corner of a market.

The three - person - wide road was crowded with people. There were stalls on both sides, filled with all kinds of treasures that glistened with colorful lights. People were shouting loudly, and it was extremely lively.

"Secret news! Secret news! The [Human Action Defense Committee] has issued the 26th order, summoning all War - God - level powerhouses to report nearby!"

"Today's tabloid, taking you on the growth path of Shurason!"

"Recruiting War - King - level powerhouses to train an S - rank talent apprentice. This child will surely become a right - hand man of Shurason!"

"..."

Kai Blake:???

Had he been away from the internet for too long?

Why was 9 out of 10 sentences in the Trading Secret Realm related to Shurason?

Kai Blake was stunned for a moment, and then a warm voice rang in his ears.

"Little brother, you're a new face. New here, right?"

Kai Blake turned around and saw a green - skinned Goblin Monster standing beside him, greeting him.

Kai Blake nodded and asked curiously, "How do you know I'm new?"

"I've never seen your number. I know everyone who often comes to the Trading Secret Realm! Also, you haven't even transformed your appearance. Newcomers usually look like this."

Transform appearance?

Kai Blake turned around and happened to see a mirror. He found that he looked like a gray cloud, with lightning flickering from time to time.

"In the Trading Secret Realm, everyone's identity is kept confidential. Voices, appearances, fingerprints, and even spiritual senses are blocked!"

The Goblin Monster introduced enthusiastically,

"Visualize an appearance in your mind, and your appearance will change accordingly."

According to what the other said, Kai Blake tried it. The cloud soon rolled and condensed into a human - shaped figure made of cloud.

"Forgot to introduce myself. I'm the trading broker of [Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth], [Goblin Monster]. Just call me Little Bro."

As the Goblin Monster spoke, he handed over a business card with his Trading Secret Realm number on it.

"If you have any buying or selling needs, you can come to our [Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth]. Newcomers enjoy a 2% discount!"

Trading Hall in Heaven and Earth.

Kai Blake remembered the name in his heart and nodded to the other party.

"Thanks. I'm just looking around."

"No problem. In the Trading Secret Realm, you can leave messages by number. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

The Goblin Monster had a very good service attitude and added,

"Some information comes at a cost!"

"Understood."

After saying goodbye to the Goblin Monster, Kai Blake wandered aimlessly in the Trading Secret Realm, with people shouting in his ears.

"Forming a team to explore the 76th floor of the Tower of Eternity. Led by an old - school War - God - level powerhouse. Hurry up!"

"S - rank mission in the Abyss Plane, cleanse a space eroded by demon gods. The reward is generous!"

"The reward for information about the Demon Sect has increased by 30%! The reward for high - level demon - god believers has doubled!"

"....."

The items in the Trading Secret Realm were extremely valuable. Kai Blake could at most just watch the excitement.

The mainstream items they traded all cost at least millions of gold coins each!

Kai Blake only had a little over 100,000 gold coins in his pocket, not even enough to buy a scrap.

After wandering around for a full hour, Kai Blake finally stopped in a corner of the trading market.

Based on the fragmented information he had heard just now, Kai Blake roughly pieced together the current situation in his mind.

"Because I cleared the hidden dungeon with an SSS - level rating, the [HADC] has issued a Level - 2 alert?"

Kai Blake was a bit shocked. He didn't expect to cause such a big stir!

That was a Level - 2 alert. Once issued, the resources consumed were astronomical!

[HADC], short for [Human Action Defense Committee], was an organization with three supreme powerhouses in charge, equivalent to a large federal organization.

Kai Blake also learned that.

The [HADC] had always had a plan for cultivating the [Fourth Supreme Powerhouse]!

They were waiting, waiting for a seedling who could clear the newbie dungeon with an SSS - level rating, waiting for a new supreme powerhouse of the human race to be born.

That's why, as soon as the news of Kai Blake's clearance spread, the terrifying war machine of the [HADC] started all its gears, going full - throttle instantly!

The pre - arranged plan was carried out step by step.

Increasing investment in educational resources, summoning all War - God - level powerhouses to take their positions, and purging the Demon - Sect believers on Blue Star...

This series of actions was for one purpose - to provide a healthy growth environment for Shurason!

"The [HADC] didn't go all - out to find my identity. There might be some behind - the - scenes actions, but they were very restrained on the surface!"

Kai Blake nodded secretly, understanding the reason for their actions.

If they directly went to look for [Shurason], once Kai Blake's identity was exposed, he, who was still extremely weak, would face endless troubles!

The demon gods would definitely not sit back and watch the human race rise another supreme powerhouse!

With three supreme powerhouses, the human race and the Abyss Plane were already in a stalemate, and the human race could even organize small - scale counter - attacks!

Once Shurason also became a supreme powerhouse,

it would be the end of the Abyss Plane!

Completely strangling Shurason in the cradle before he fully grew up was the only choice!

The [HADC]'s response was to eliminate all potential risks as much as possible!

As for Shurason's own growth, judging from his performance of clearing the newbie dungeon with an SSS - level rating, there was nothing to worry about!

After understanding all this, Kai Blake felt much more at ease.

Since there was no immediate risk of his identity being exposed, Kai Blake turned his attention back to his own growth.

He came to the Trading Secret Realm to exchange for resources and grow faster.

"These things are all too expensive. Even if I could afford them, I couldn't meet the level requirements!"

Kai Blake took a look around, took out the business card from before, and sent a message to Little Bro.

"Happy to serve you!"

The green - skinned Goblin Monster jumped in front of Kai Blake again.

Kai Blake suddenly asked, "How happy?"

Little Bro:... He didn't know how to answer that!

"Okay, I... cough... I have a friend."

Kai Blake used a common opening line.

Any inconvenient matter could be shifted onto a friend.

Create a friend out of thin air!

"I have a friend's junior who just entered the Tower of Eternity today and awakened their talent."

The Goblin Monster Little Bro quickly understood what Kai Blake meant.

"You want to get some equipment and items for this junior, right? Let me see. Here's a commonly recommended list!"

The Goblin Monster Little Bro handed over a list, apparently well - prepared.

Kai Blake took a look and frowned.

"Why are they all B - rank and C - rank equipment?"

The boosts from these equipment were negligible, extremely shabby.

Kai Blake could do better bare - handed than with this junk.

The Goblin Monster Little Bro patiently explained,

"For newbie players, the most important thing is to level up. Equipment at this stage is just disposable. Once the level is raised, it's more cost - effective to consider high - quality equipment."

That made sense.

One had to consider cost - effectiveness. A level - 10 S - rank staff, if it had no growth potential, was not as good as a level - 50 basic staff!

Kai Blake asked, "Do you have any staffs with growth potential?"

During the newbie package, Kai Blake had the opportunity to choose a growth - type A - rank staff, [Lightning Master's Staff].

But later, Kai Blake encountered better rewards and had to give it up reluctantly.

"There are some, but..."

The Goblin Monster Little Bro hesitated for a moment and then took out another list.

"Staffs with growth potential generally have hidden advancement conditions. And new advancement conditions will be refreshed after each advancement! So... these equipment are actually a bit useless in a way.

The Goblin Monster Little Bro added another sentence.

"And they're all very expensive!"
