Gluttonous Fang

In this border town, B-rank Potential was already a terrifying existence.

If Lu Chuan hadn't registered his ability as the most ordinary [Strength Amplification].

It's likely that the moment his information was updated, countless forces would have been waiting at the hall entrance, scrambling to recruit him.

"According to the Alliance's relevant benefits, Transcendent who activate the First Sequence can receive a monthly stipend of 100,000 alliance coins and purchase items on the Transcendence Official Website."

100,000 alliance coins!

No wonder the original owner was willing to risk ruin and death just to become a Transcendent.

One must understand that the average monthly income for an ordinary family in this city was only about three thousand.

Yet a First-Tier Transcendent could earn 100,000 alliance coins a month without doing anything.

As for the Transcendence Official Website, ordinary people only had the qualification to browse the most basic information there.

Only by becoming a Transcendent could one accept missions, purchase resources, and acquire intelligence on it.

"Oh right, every Transcendent who registers their information with the Alliance can receive a free Primary Storage Equipment."

The staff member said patiently.

"Storage equipment comes in five forms: rings, bracelets, necklaces, belts, and earrings. Which would you prefer..."

"A necklace."

Primary Storage Equipment only has a space of one cubic meter and is relatively fragile.

Lu Chuan's First Sequence ability destined his future combat to lean towards close-quarters fighting, and once he used the full form of the [Insect Armor], he would likely shred his clothes... As for the earrings... Lu Chuan couldn't possibly pierce his ear just for a piece of storage equipment, could he?

Moreover, retrieving items from near his ear felt a bit strange.

He wasn't Sun Wukong... The Transcendent Guild Hall had ready-made storage equipment, and Lu Chuan chose the one with the most discreet appearance.

It looked like a pitch-black Möbius strip.

Möbius... space... quite fitting.

After leaving the Guild Hall, Lu Chuan immediately went to a Transcendent Shop.

First, he spent 10,000 alliance coins to buy five hundred Portable Blood Collectors.

This equipment looked like a syringe without a needle.

When the button on the tail was pressed, a hidden internal needle would pierce the target's skin, and air pressure would force the target's blood into the tube.

Following that were some nutrient solutions, Recovery Potions, and a set of the cheapest black combat fatigues.

All in all, he spent nearly 40,000 alliance coins.

"Sir, is this your first time entering the Rift? Would you like to buy a suitable weapon?"

The salesperson heavily promoted it.

A weapon?

Lu Chuan thought for a moment.

While in school, the original owner had only learned how to fight in close combat using a dagger.

However, the original owner was quite diligent.

As a result, this body still retained muscle memory.

"Do you have any daggers?"

"Yes, we do! Please follow me, Sir!"

The salesperson was full of enthusiasm.

"This dagger is called Butterfly Dance. It is forged from high-quality special metal, has a streamlined body, and is extremely sharp!"

"Most importantly, this dagger is also inscribed with an Amplification Rune, allowing additional damage to be inflicted by injecting dark energy into it."

"It only costs 100,000 alliance coins!"

Lu Chuan merely glanced at it and shook his head.

"It's too long, barely different from a short sword. Moreover, the body is too thin; it restricts flexibility and is very easy to break."

Although Lu Chuan had not engaged in real combat since transmigrating.

He was absolutely certain that he was a brute-force type of fighter, and this dagger was unsuitable for him.

Hmm, it definitely wasn't because it was too expensive.

"Do you have anything smaller and tougher?"

"You can take a look at this one. This dagger is called Flowing Gold Fire, it's small, flexible, and comes with innate fire damage."

"It became incredibly tough because it was forged by fusing the leg bone of the Third-Tier Transcendent Creature, Blazing Gold Demon Wolf. Attacks below the Third Tier absolutely cannot break it."

Lu Chuan gripped it and swung it a few times at the air. The moment the sharp blade cut through the air, the sound of burning flames echoed.

It rattled like a Fiery Wing Bird flapping its wings.

It was indeed excellent.

But... "It only costs 200,000 alliance coins."

Lu Chuan: "..."

"This dagger is too light. Do you have anything heavier?"

The salesperson recommended several more daggers to Lu Chuan.

All of them were rejected by Lu Chuan for various reasons.

Until the salesperson was completely parched, he finally realized Lu Chuan's core requirement:

"This dagger is called taotie's fang, and it was pawned here by a Fifth-Tier Transcendent."

Lu Chuan was a little surprised. "You can pawn things here?"

"We used to, but after the Merchant Association was established, we didn't dare touch that business anymore."

"This dagger has been with us for about five years; the pawning period expired long ago, so it became our property."

This situation was quite common among Transcendent.

After all, the Rift was extremely dangerous.

If one wasn't careful, they would die inside, and the items they pawned would become ownerless property.

"This dagger is quite sinister. Our Appraisers couldn't determine its material, and since it wasn't inscribed with any Runes, we valued it as the most ordinary special metal dagger at the time."

"Later, after the period expired, we didn't raise the price much; we just wanted to avoid a loss."

The salesperson looked reminiscent.

"Then, a First-Tier Transcendent bought it, and not long after, he came back to us and said..."

"Said what?" Lu Chuan was curious.

"He said the dagger ate his hand..."

"We saw that the Transcendent had indeed lost his right hand at the time. We thought the dagger might have some bloodthirsty ability and used many methods to test it, but we found nothing unusual, other than the material being harder than special metal."

Lu Chuan reached out and gently stroked the dagger.

It was chillingly cold!

"Why tell me all this? Aren't you afraid I won't buy it?"

The salesperson cleared his slightly hoarse throat and said sincerely, "The boss said the reserve price is 10,000."

A minute later, Lu Chuan walked out of the store happily with taotie's fang... According to the information on the Transcendence Official Website, the Rift with the lowest danger index and the highest variety of Transcendent Creatures in the city was located in the western suburbs.

Behind that Rift was an Endless Forest.

Because resources inside were relatively scarce, the level of Transcendent Creatures did not exceed the Third Tier.

Therefore, any Transcendent with a bit of strength would not choose this Rift and waste their time.

Most of those who came here were Martial Artists undergoing trials and students from the Transcendent Academy who were just starting out.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Chuan specifically bought a dark red Ghoul Mask.

"Hello, please present your information."

Lu Chuan scanned his phone, and a green light immediately indicated passage.

"Transcendent, given that you just completed your Transcendent registration today, we suggest you first find suitable teammates at the entrance before entering as a team."

"Furthermore, all ordinary electronic devices will fail after entering the Rift. We recommend you purchase a specialized Communicator."

"Thank you."

Lu Chuan knew the person meant well, so he thanked them sincerely.

However... "I prefer to travel alone."

Seeing Lu Chuan's insistence, the guard stationed at the entrance did not continue to advise him.

Instead, he silently shook his head:

Good words are wasted on a doomed man.

May this arrogant newcomer Transcendent have good luck.

On the other side, just as Lu Chuan entered the Rift, he saw an arrow flying straight towards him.

"Watch out!"
