Zhang Yue of course knew that Chen Zijin's progression was still in the World 32.
While she was clearing a world boss, it was exactly the right time for Zhang Yue to make some preparations.
["Alright, waiting for you."]
After replying to Chen Zijin, Zhang Yue sent Ouyang Linger a message, ["I'm in the World 32, safe zone."]
["Roger!"], Ouyang Linger said, ["I'll contact him right away and have him come over to find you."]
Not long after the conversation ended, a skinny young man came running frantically from behind the safe zone.
He braked suddenly and stopped in front of Zhang Yue.
Looking at Zhang Yue, he was so excited he almost spoke incoherently, "G-g-great god, I finally saw you in person, you're even cooler than on TV, I'm your fan!"
Saying that, the young man with the ID [Vanguard] held out two rings in both hands and offered them to Zhang Yue, "This is from Sister Linger to give to you, please accept."
Zhang Yue picked up the rings and said to Vanguard, "Thanks."
"Being able to serve the great god is my honor!"
Pausing, Vanguard then asked, "Great god, could you sign for me?"
Zhang Yue smiled faintly, "Sure, where should I sign?"
Vanguard hurriedly took out a suit of armor from storage space, even prepared an [Imprint Seal] (a special tool-type treasure that, after use, can leave a permanent mark on a specified item), and handed both to Zhang Yue, "Here, here!"
Zhang Yue used the seal, and the seal transformed into a pen and appeared in his hand.
About to habitually write [Zero] on the armor, he suddenly seemed to remember something.
In the end, Zhang Yue left five elegant characters—
Asura!
Thus, the secret that Zhang Yue was the reincarnation of Asura became known to the world.
From this moment, Zhang Yue was Asura.
And he was only missing a physical body from fully being Asura.
It was time to restore the glory of the God Asura.
Zhang Yue naturally had a plan: one day he would defeat Demon Emperor · Yu and take back the Asura body that rightfully belonged to him.
Although the former epic-level warrior was far inferior to the present mythical-rank Necromancer, the most important thing was the forbidden-curse skill on the Asura body: Devouring Body.
If he could reclaim Devouring Body, Zhang Yue's path to leveling up would increase a hundredfold.
Vanguard, who had obtained Zhang Yue's handwritten signature, was ecstatic.
One moment, "Thank you, great god, I will forever keep this armor and worship it!"
The next moment, just as Vanguard left, Zhang Yue saw an anonymous forum post, [Selling a piece of armor personally signed by the God Asura. Only one available. Highest bidder wins!]
'Damn!'
Zhang Yue's face went dark.
'That Vanguard is really stingy!'
Who would have thought his post would hit like a meteor in the sea, instantly stirring endless waves.
["Holy crap! Is that really Asura's autograph?"]
["It should be real. Click the signature to see the signer, shows 'Zero.'"]
["Zero is the reincarnation of Asura, so isn't this Asura's autograph?"]
["Wow! Honestly, my bestie likes this armor and wants me to buy it for her, can you sell it to me, bro?"]
["Signature or not doesn't matter, what matters is I need an armor piece. I'll pay one million!"]
["One million for Asura's autograph? Are you kidding me? I bid ten million!"]
["I'll pay a hundred million, nobody else touch it!"]
Seeing these auction bids, Zhang Yue immediately sent Ouyang Linger a message, ["Is that Vanguard your friend?"]
Ouyang Linger sent a facepalm emoji, ["Bad friend choice, I've blocked him…"]
However, Vanguard's antics actually indirectly confirmed Zhang Yue's current value.
Just one signature being hyped up to tens of millions.
Even saying Zhang Yue's worth was over ten billion wouldn't be an exaggeration.
At that moment, Zhang Yue looked at the two rings in his hand.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Heart of Eternity] (Epic-grade treasure)
[Description: A Heart of Eternity that signifies loving only one person. The wearer will receive the blessing of the god of love and be kept from defilement…]
[Smith's signature: Xiao Jiba]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing this description, Zhang Yue frowned slightly.
He messaged Ouyang Linger, ["Who wrote this description?"]
Ouyang Linger played dumb, ["Huh? What description? I don't know."]
["I asked you to make two items that can hide aura, and you gave me a ring, fine, but the name and this description, are you sure you weren't trying to mess with me?"]
Ouyang Linger, ["Boss, my signal's bad here, messages keep cutting out and I can't send or receive well. Talk later!"]
Just as Zhang Yue was about to argue with Ouyang Linger, someone suddenly patted his left shoulder.
Zhang Yue turned, and saw Chen Zijin standing at his side.
"Aren't you supposed to be looking over there?", Chen Zijin asked, a little surprised.
"Listening for direction," he replied.
Chen Zijin stuck out her tongue, "You're so boring!"
Checking the time, it had only been a minute since Chen Zijin sent her message.
Zhang Yue was a bit surprised, "You already killed the World 32 boss that fast?"
Then he realized and relaxed, "Oh right, I almost forgot, you're already a mythical-rank professional now."
Chen Zijin giggled, "Thanks to you! If it weren't for you in the Molten Domain, I couldn't have upgraded the Arena Token to gold."
"By the way, what was that thing you said you'd give me?", Chen Zijin blinked her clear big eyes, a little expectant.
Zhang Yue clutched the ring tighter in his hand.
For a moment, he didn't know how to produce it.
"Forget it, here, take it."
When Zhang Yue took out the ring, Chen Zijin was instantly full of surprise and delight, thinking, '"He can't really be trying to confess to me, can he?'
'No way! How could a confession take place in the Otherworld? Shouldn't it be in the real world to be more romantic?'
'He really is such a straight man, no romance at all!'
'Ah well, the thought counts!'
Just as Chen Zijin was daydreaming this whole drama, Zhang Yue handed one of the rings to her.
Before he could say anything, Chen Zijin reached out, took the ring, and smiled, "Thanks!"
Zhang Yue looked baffled, "Thanks what?"
"What did you say?", Chen Zijin blushed.
Before Zhang Yue could explain, Chen Zijin, red-faced, clutched the ring and ran off.
After running a bit, she stopped, turned back, and gave Zhang Yue a sly smile, "Later, I'll meet you in the World 34!"
With that, Chen Zijin flashed like lightning and disappeared from Zhang Yue's sight.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but marvel, 'Truly befitting a mythical-rank assassin.'
'Her speed is really fast!'
"Only… did she misunderstand something?"
"Never mind, at least the item's on her now."
