Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

The overall style is similar to the Parthenon.

And in the deepest part of the radiant temple, on a throne inlaid with countless dazzling gems and mysterious runes, sat a smiling woman. Her stunning appearance seemed like the most exquisite work of art in the world, and all the elements were shaped according to the golden ratio. It was too perfect and beyond all mortal imagination.

Chen Ming's attention was drawn to it immediately.

Her long hair was like the first wisps of frost on a winter morning, pure and flawless, its silvery white tinged with a faint blue hue. It gently fell to her waist, swaying softly in the breeze, each strand seeming to tell a story from an ancient and distant past. Beneath this white hair was her flawless face, her skin as white as snow, so delicate that it seemed as if the slightest touch would transform it into the softest mist.

The most striking thing about her were her deep red eyes, which were like burning flames or rubies in the abyss, sparkling with wisdom, mystery, and endless tenderness.

Under her gaze, Chen Ming felt very small, yet surrounded by an indescribable warmth, as if all his troubles and sorrows could be comforted.

"People from another world, welcome to this world."

The woman showed a kind smile, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Ming felt numb all over!

Less than a second after crossing into World No. 1, my identity as a traveler was seen through. What should I do next?

Waiting online, very anxious!

Although Chen Ming can return to the main world at any time through the system, World No. 1 will be in a static state at that time.

This means that when he comes back, he will still have to continue dealing with the woman in front of him.

Unless he completely gives up World No. 1, this is unacceptable to Chen Ming who is just starting out.

And since the other party has expressed welcome, it means we can still talk.

So Chen Ming tried to negotiate: "You're too polite, could you please explain the current situation?"

"Of course, I am the goddess of this world. I am summoning the souls of some dead people from other worlds to reincarnate into this world."

The goddess spoke freely, without any intention of hiding anything:

"Perhaps there was some error in the summoning magic, and you were summoned alive. I apologize for this."

As she spoke, the goddess stood up and lifted the hem of her skirt. She was wearing a glittering robe embroidered with intricate and mysterious patterns. Every stitch and thread contained ancient magic and blessings. As she lifted her skirt, it swayed gently, as if even the air was stained with a sacred glow.

After hearing this, Chen Ming understood that the other party did not notice the existence of the pleasure system, but just regarded Chen Ming's appearance as a mistake in his summoning.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he secretly sighed that the system was truly amazing. He then straightened his back, leaned back slightly, and said, "I feel your apology... So, now let's talk about compensation."

Chapter 2: Please, Traveler!

"What a clever child."

The goddess straightened her slender waist, sat back on the throne gracefully and said with a smile:

"Normally, the people from another world I summon are already dead, so they only have two choices: bleach their souls and reincarnate as strangers, and then be born; or accept my commission and retain their existing memories in the next life."

"Since you are still alive, you will be born into this world in your true form. Regardless of whether you accept my commission or not, you will receive an additional compensation."

Listening to the goddess' words, Chen Ming gradually developed a sense of déjà vu - this scene, these lines, how come they are a little bit similar to an anime he had watched?

So he made a bold guess: "The commission you mentioned, could it be that you want someone from another world to kill a certain target?"

"I'm glad we can keep this short. You're truly worthy of being a person from another world specially chosen by summoning magic."

The goddess smiled and nodded, then added, "My commission is for you to annihilate the hero in the world of swords and magic. The deadline is eighteen years after you descend into this world."

Hearing this, Chen Ming was basically certain that this was indeed a world based on "The World's Top Assassin, Reincarnated as a Noble in Another World".

No wonder the goddess in front of him always gave him a weird feeling.

As far as Chen Ming knows, the goddess in this anime is not a real person, but the embodiment of a rule, a device used to maintain the world.

Her appearance changes according to the preferences of people in another world - so Chen Ming thought she was very beautiful at first sight, especially the special attack with white hair and red eyes...

Although she appears to be talking and laughing now, this is just a simulated personality performance to reassure the people in the other world.

On weekdays, when she was free, she would not show any expression, but would just sit blankly on the throne, as emotionless and lifeless as a doll.

Calm, cold, indifferent, even these words are not enough to describe this goddess. She is just a machine and rules, without any emotions.

Because of this, the goddess did not delve into the truth behind Chen Ming's appearance.

In order to maximize the success rate of wiping out the hero, she summoned a large number of people from other worlds, including the anime protagonist Luge Tuhade.

As long as the world can be saved, she doesn't care which person from another world delivers the results.

"A man called a hero should be the hero who saves the world, right? Why do you want to wipe him out?"

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble and arousing the goddess' suspicion, and also to gain benefits, Chen Ming, who was familiar with the plot, asked reasonable questions.

"After defeating the Demon King and saving the world, the hero will use his power for personal gain and desire, plunging the world into chaos. His methods are even more ruthless than the Demon King's... In the end, this world is destroyed after eighteen years."

The goddess spread her hands and said helplessly: "So, I'll ask you to go and kill it."

Chen Ming nodded. "I understand. However, since the hero has the ability to destroy the world, he must have greatly surpassed the limits of human beings. You can't let me, as a mortal, wipe out a monster that transcends the norm, right?"

"Of course. According to custom, if the person from another world I summon chooses to accept the commission, they will not only retain their memories of their past lives, but also gain abilities that can reach the upper limit of human capabilities—the skills that should be randomly determined can be freely selected."

As she spoke, the goddess waved her hand, and countless skill orbs appeared around Chen Ming. She added, "As extra compensation for what I promised you, you can choose one more S-level skill."

In this world of sword and magic, humans are given up to five innate skills at birth.

The number of skills is quite impressive, totaling 123,851.

There are five levels: S, A, B, C, and D, and each has a chance to obtain one.

The chance of obtaining an S-level skill is one in a billion.

The chance of obtaining an A-level skill is one in a million.

The chance of obtaining a B-level skill is one in ten thousand.

The chance of obtaining a C-rank skill is 1%.

The chance of obtaining a D-level skill is 1 in 1.

Since each class is judged once separately, according to their respective judgment probabilities, theoretically all class skills can be obtained.

However, the probability of obtaining S-rank is only one in a billion, and the probability of possessing all five levels of skills is - 1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000!

Therefore, the skill selection granted by the goddess is very valuable. After all, most people in this world only have one D-level skill.

Chen Ming can not only choose 5+1 skills, but also combine them to produce amazing results.

"Excellent compensation. I'll take the commission."

Chen Ming couldn’t think of any reason to refuse the six skills he could get for free right after traveling through time.

As for the price, it is only to prevent the hero from destroying the world.

As far as Chen Ming knew, the hero's physique and magic power were extraordinary, and he was born with 30 skills, at least 5 of which were S-level, and the rest were all A-level.

In contrast, people from another world must use only 5 skills to deal with him, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

But Chen Ming is different. If he really cannot win, he can travel to other worlds through the system to grow. While he is away, World No. 1 is in a static state, and he can wait until he can win before coming back.

So this commission was not difficult for him.

"Thank you~"

The goddess clasped her hands together and winked playfully, saying, "Then please choose the skill you want. I'll give you three days to think carefully before making your choice."

After saying this, she disappeared from the throne.

Chen Mingxian spent dozens of minutes taking a rough look at all the S-level skills.

Because of the principle of skill matching, the most powerful S-level skill must be selected as the core, and other skills are used to assist the S-level skill to shine.

I have to admit that the one in a billion chance is really not a lie. All S-level skills are extremely powerful - as long as you have any one of them, you will be able to become a hero in this world of swords and magic!

For example...

【Magic Sword Summon】

The magic sword can be summoned and used according to the user's strength.

…It may seem unremarkable at first glance, but the magic sword it summons is incredibly powerful, some of which can split a mountain in half with a single swing.

【Holy Fighting Spirit】

Wrapping itself in a sacred aura emitting golden light, it greatly increases its attack power, defense power, and speed.

...The improvement is overwhelming. With this skill, even a baby could destroy a tank with their bare hands. Its versatility is incredibly high.

【Monster Spawn】

Create monsters from all kinds of materials and use them.

...Mainly using corpses and magic stones to organize monster armies at will.

These are just examples. There are dozens of S-level skills in total.

When choosing skills, the first thing that must be taken into consideration is to ensure firepower. As a Chinese, Chen Ming also suffers from a serious fear of insufficient firepower.

Secondly, it must be versatile. After all, Chen Ming will definitely travel to all realms in the future, and any unexpected events may occur. Skills that lack versatility will lose their meaning.

Based on these considerations, the core skills he ultimately chose were [Real Manifestation] and [Teleportation].

【Realization】

【Rating: S-level】

[Effect: As the name suggests, it can materialize real objects. The magic power consumed depends on the quality and rarity of the item.]

[Note: Rarity is graded as: None, Low, Medium, High, Super, Unique! It cannot be manifested as a living being.]

-

【Teleport】

【Rating: S-level】

[Effect: You can jump across space and instantly reach any place you see, or return to a place you have been to before. The farther you move, the more magic power you consume.]

[Note: Teleportation can bring people with you, but it will double the magic power consumption.]

…These two skills may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but one provides almost unlimited firepower, and the other facilitates pursuit or escape.

With the combination of the two, Chen Ming can throw nuclear weapons at the enemy's head and then evacuate calmly.

Once the core skills are determined, the subsequent skill selection becomes relatively simple.

[Source of Magic]

【Rating: A】

[Effect: Can provide a continuous supply of magic power, and increase the magic power recovery speed by a thousand times.]

[Note: This skill still works even in an environment without magic power.]

...This is a seriously underestimated skill, Chen Ming judged.

Because in this world of swords and magic, there is no shortage of magic.

Therefore, the only effect of [Source of Magic] is to increase the magic recovery speed by a thousand times.

However, for Chen Ming, who can travel through the heavens and all worlds, there are many worlds without magic.

[Source of Magic] can be effective in an environment without magic power. It is extremely versatile and its rating can be increased by half a level.

Moreover, although the two core skills [Real Manifestation] and [Teleport] are easy to use, they both consume a lot of magic power, and they are very compatible with [Source of Magic Power].

The remaining three classes, B, C, and D, had relatively weaker skills, and many of them were useless, like [Imitate Animal Sounds], [Quick Dishwashing], [Quick Dressing], [Dressing Up], and so on. Why would they even have these? In the end, Chen Ming chose three relatively suitable skills:

【True Love Field】

【Rating: B】

[Effect: You won't be stabbed by a hatchet when you have a harem, and your women can't cause you any harm.]

[Note: This is so rude, we are pure love! ]

-

【Big Kidney Returns】

【Rating: C】

[Effect: When you are in Sage Mode, you can use this skill to instantly restore your energy.]

【Note: If you leave and never come back, then you will leave and never come back!】

-

【Sleeping Technique】
