Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 999 - 469: Inauguration and Her Arrival!_3

Lan shook her head and said to Shen Ye:

"This battle armor is one of my treasures, but if you want to use it, you’ll have to put in some effort."

She then turned to Nangong Sirui and said, "Take out your fan."

"Yes."

Nangong Sirui drew out a White Bone Fan.

The fan was immediately taken by Lan, who simultaneously brought out a jade mask and handed it to Nangong Sirui.

"I’m taking this back—for your team’s potential has grown significantly."

"I’ll give you another, even more prestigious treasure, but you’ll also need to put in some effort before you can use it."

"Good luck."

As soon as Lan finished speaking, she disappeared on the spot.

Inside the tent.

Only Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui were left.

"You’re familiar with her?"

Shen Ye asked.

"No one knows where Lady Lan comes from, but she provides people with unimaginable equipment—on the condition that they can resonate with it." Nangong Sirui scrutinized the jade mask in his hand and spoke nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Shen Ye couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the rose-gold battle armor in front of him.

Rows of faint glowing text appeared silently:

"Battle Armor of the Master of Multilayered Universe."

"Six-piece set."

"Surface Attribute: Randomly generates an inconspicuous ’Blood’ type entry."

"Description: You must resonate with each individual piece to finally unlock its true power."

"Set attributes are currently sealed and cannot be revealed."

"—Wearing it is something you’ll never regret."

Never regret it.

Bluffing, huh.

But it still piqued some curiosity.

Shen Ye couldn’t resist reaching out and touching the rose-gold helmet.

Faint glowing text immediately emerged in front of his eyes:

"Seven Dwarf Demon Kings reside in the Dwarf Demon Palace; you must make them willingly prepare a meal for you."

"If you accomplish this, the Helmet of the Master of Multilayered Universe will recognize you."

Shen Ye put down the helmet and picked up the rose-gold belt.

New faint glowing text surfaced accordingly:

"The Extreme Evil Technique Spirit sealed in the Poison Mist Abyss has always yearned to break its seal. Over countless years, it has killed millions of beings who ventured near the Abyss."

"You must quell its yearning."

"If successful, the Belt of the Master of Multilayered Universe will recognize you."

Shen Ye set the belt down and let out a sigh.

Understood.

To use this set of battle armor, six tasks must be completed!

Six tasks!

Where would he find the time to do all this?

Better to just follow Nangong Sirui and the others for now; at least he needed to figure out the basics of this world’s situation.

As he thought, Su Rong’s voice suddenly came through:

"I know the attributes of this battle armor. I’ll tell you in advance, so you can choose whether to resonate with it or give up directly."

Before the words fell.

New rows of faint glowing text suddenly appeared on the battle armor:

"Set attributes unsealed."

"You have now learned all the information about this set. Details as follows:"

"1. Must equip all six pieces to activate the effect ’Heart of Defense’—you will be unable to make any attack actions."

"2. Upon activating ’Heart of Defense,’ you will gain the effect ’Invincible Body’—suppressing all attacks and preventing any damage."

"Truth Twelve Layered Armor."

Shen Ye stroked the golden chainmail.

This set of armor was truly worth it.

Its base stats were already exceptional, reaching the level of the Truth Twelve Layers.

—If he fused it with other armor, wouldn’t it become even stronger?

He really needed something like this.

Because nobody knew what the outcome of the Chaos Ship would be.

He had to prepare for the worst.

Thinking about it, Shen Ye’s heart stirred.

"Xiao San, do you know what kind of person Lady Lan really is?"

He asked.

"No one knows. This world has become far too mysterious."

Nangong Sirui shook his head, put away the jade mask in his hand, and continued:

"From now on, come explore the wild with us—honestly, our team is practically wiped out, leaving only A Yi and me."

"That dangerous?" Shen Ye asked.

"Just answer whether you’re coming or not."

"Coming."

"Get ready; we’re heading to the Dwarf Demon Palace in the afternoon."

"You said where?" Shen Ye was surprised.

"The Dwarf Demon Palace. My jade mask requires exploring the Dwarf Demon Palace to resonate with it," Nangong Sirui replied.

By noon.

At the Shen Mansion.

Zhao Xiaochang, her eyes red-rimmed, placed a piece of braised pork into Shen Ye’s bowl:

"Eat more, and remember to keep us updated."

Shen Ye smiled wryly and said, "Mom, I’m not walking into certain death."

Shen Shi’an nodded, adding, "This is an excellent job for him; he’s already received an advance on his salary right after joining, and the benefits are top-notch too."

"But it’s too dangerous! Everyone knows there are monsters on the wasteland that humanity simply can’t deal with!" Zhao Xiaochang said.

"Don’t worry, Mom. I’m not going anywhere truly dangerous."

Shen Ye reassured her.

"You must stay sharp, understand?" Zhao Xiaochang said with concern.

"Understood!" Shen Ye drew out the word.

The doorbell rang.

Shen Ye got up to answer it and returned shortly with a long box in his arms.

"What’s that?"

Father Shen asked.

"It’s a weapon the Professional Arbitration Center has sent me as a replacement," Shen Ye said.

"They’re even directly equipping you with weapons?" Zhao Xiaochang was shocked.

—After all, weapons were the rarest and most valuable items on the market.

"My blade was damaged during the exam, so this is compensation."

Shen Ye opened the box.

Inside lay a long blade, resting silently.

"Green Demon."

"Blade."

"Sharpness +3, Tenacity +5."

The +3 meant it was three times sharper than an ordinary blade.

As for Tenacity +5—

It indicated that they were aware of Shen Ye’s blade technique, which heavily relied on the blade’s durability, and thus specifically selected a blade with five times the tenacity of a normal weapon.

Not bad.

Usable.

Shen Ye fastened the blade to his waist and was just about to sit back down to eat when a sudden change occurred—
