this infinite world

Before entering the Main God Space, Yang Yun had played a game called "Uncharted Waters".

A crucial core gameplay element in this game involves buying local specialties in location A, selling them at a higher price in location B, and then bringing those specialties back to location A. For example, olive oil from Lisbon can be sold for several times the price in London, while wool from London can be transported to Amsterdam for exorbitant profits, resulting in a fortune… Before long, his fleet can be upgraded from a pitiful sloop to a majestic battleship, thus achieving financial freedom.

In Yang Yun's view, the "main god" of this multiverse and the "main god" of his own multiverse are similar in principle, and there are differences between the multiverses.

Just as the "main god" of Yang Yun's original multiverse could freely exchange for rare and precious foods like Huangzhong plums and peaches, far superior to ordinary foods, the "main god" of this multiverse must also possess its own unique exchange system, capable of providing special items that his universe lacks... Just like two parallel trees of civilization, the fruits they bear will inevitably have different flavors.

However, a question lingered in Yang Yun's mind: why were the permissions he had obtained still usable in the main god space of this multiverse? Logically speaking, these two main god spaces should be similar yet independent systems, like the currency systems of different countries—even though they are both "money," they cannot be directly used interchangeably.

If this were happening in a game like Age of Exploration, it might be explained by "system compatibility" or "developer laziness"; but Yang Yun is in the real world, and this kind of cross-universe access control must have a deeper logic behind it...

Leaving aside Yang Yun's contemplation of the two multiverse "gods," after Zhang Heng, Nian Xikong, and Chef Gangluer finalized their exchanges, Chu Hao's exchanges continued... and the next one to be exchanged was Tom, who was also a veteran in the team but had always had a rather weak presence.

"...I plan to exchange for a superior vampire bloodline."

In the mission world of Bloodlust Dawn, thanks to Chu Hao's meticulous planning, Tom unexpectedly acquired the mutated vampire bloodline from the movie—equivalent to gaining an enhancement of at least B-level strength out of thin air without being exchanged by the main god.

Of course, this unexpected gain came at a price. Tom's future path was now completely limited, and he could no longer choose other bloodline enhancements. He could only follow the path of becoming a vampire to the bitter end.

Although Tom later heeded the advice of the sisters Maria and Echo and exchanged for the "Shadow Walker" skill, which had excellent synergy with him, the inability to improve his base attributes through bloodline advancement remained a persistent flaw. Therefore, when he finally acquired enough side quests this time, Tom didn't hesitate to exchange for a high-level vampire bloodline to make up for this long-standing weakness.

“I chose this one, the A-grade Nahzel bloodline.”

Tom took a deep breath and announced the bloodline he wanted to exchange for: "Nachzel is an undead creature in German folklore, a type of vampire who can extract life force by manipulating shadows. It is a superior alternative to the bloodline."

"Yes, that would indeed make you even stronger." After reading the introduction about the Nahzel bloodline from the Main God, Chu Hao nodded and said, "However, Tom, you must have other ideas, right?"

"Yes, because this bloodline is a good match for my 'Shadow Walker'."

Tom met Chu Hao's scrutinizing gaze and slowly opened his palm. A layer of dark shadow flowed in his palm, rising and falling like a living thing, vaguely revealing a cold energy fluctuation.

“I can feel it,” he said softly, a hint of anticipation in his voice. “Once the exchange is complete, my vampire energy will perfectly fuse with the power of shadow. At that time, the two forces will no longer be distinct, but truly united as one.” Tom looked up, a determined glint in his eyes. “By then, I should be qualified to stand beside you, capable of fighting on the battlefield.”

Judging from the fact that Tom could accurately describe the characteristics of this bloodline without even contacting the main god, he had clearly been planning this for some time. And since unlocking the first stage of his genetic lock in the Lord of the Rings world, the calm and confident demeanor of this once timid young man seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, which dazzled Maria, who had just been resurrected and still remembered him as before.

After all, the Tom she remembered was still that timid and cowardly young man, but now he was a completely different person... Perhaps this was the confidence that came with having power.

"Yes, go ahead and do it, Tom."

Since Tom had already put it this way, Chu Hao saw no need to say anything more. He looked at his companion, who had entered the Main God Space at the same time as Zhang Heng, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Keep it up, I believe in you."

Seeing Chu Hao's serious attitude, Tom smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head, which made him look like he was before: "Also, there's something else I want to say... I plan to revive Aikel later."

"After all, she is also a mental controller, and mental controllers are quite rare in the God Space. After resurrecting her, our Arctic team will also have a team with two mental controllers."

"Yes, as long as you can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao first glanced at Maria and, seeing that although the girl frowned, she did not directly object to Tom's opinion, he agreed with Tom's idea. After all, the importance of a mental controller was obvious: "But Tom, you need to understand one thing: after reviving Aiko, the safety of the two sisters is in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Tom turned to look at Maria. After the girl shook her head, he turned back to Chu Hao and said, "Yes, I promise... they won't be harmed in the slightest before I fall!"

"What's wrong?" On the other side, Varo, in his slime form, noticed the smile on Yang Yun's face and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just that this sentence sounds familiar..."

Watching Tom make his "man's promise," Yang Yun couldn't help but think of that smooth-talking man: "After all, he's someone I know..."

"He said something similar before." (End of Chapter)
