Chapter 209 needs some revisions; money is not an issue.
"Okay, system, you're really something!"
Chen You muttered to himself, even now he couldn't help but sigh:
It's damn expensive!
The rate of inflation made him wonder if the Origin Realm had changed owners.
Even if it's expensive, I still have to buy it!
He could imagine the disappointed look on Director Li's face if he missed even one of these things.
[Netherworld Fire: 1000 Gold Coins]. Click it!
【Stardust Extinction: 1200 Gold Coins】. Click!
[Thunderous Dragon's Roar: 1500 Gold Coins]. Click!
……
Halo effects are essential; you have to buy them all!
Next, he clicked on the domain effect.
[Royal Majesty: 5000 Gold Coins]. Click it!
[Shadow Forbidden: 8000 Gold]. Click it!
[Soul Withering: 12000 Gold Coins]. Click!
……
This is a real boost to combat power; missing even one would be a huge loss!
Finally, there's the body type setting.
Without hesitation, he pulled the slider all the way to "maximum".
Bigger is justice!
Who doesn't like big things?
The largest option also has a "(Mythical)" suffix, followed by a chilling string of numbers.
"Good grief, you even have to pay for your body shape? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Chen You complained, but his actions showed no hesitation.
All selections completed, ready to confirm.
The 3D model was surrounded by various special effects of wind, fire, lightning, stars, and shadows, and was entangled with chaotic power, making it a colorful black.
It was almost impossible to recognize its original appearance; it looked like it was capable of destroying the world.
[Confirmed payment of 62300 gold coins]
Chen You's finger landed on the confirmation button, and the next second, a red warning popped up:
[Ding! Your gold coin balance is insufficient!]
"???"
Chen You's eyes widened.
"Holy crap! I was careless!"
He didn't even look at how many gold coins were needed, nor did he pay attention to how many gold coins he had left.
"I'm speechless!" he exclaimed angrily, bringing up the recharge interface.
[Recharge Amount: 200000 Gold Coins]
"Get out of here!"
He directly recharged 200,000 gold coins, using up all the money that Director Li had given him in those two transactions.
"You can't let me down after spending so much money!"
Click confirm again.
[Ding! Payment successful! Your [King Avatar] has been saved!]
[Ding! Congratulations on activating the Mythical Skill - [Reign Supreme]!]
[Reign Supreme: After using this skill, you will enter the "King's Avatar" form, greatly increasing your attributes and granting you all the "King's Avatar" effects and area bonuses you selected.]
[Using the skill again while in "King's Avatar" state will exit this state. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]
Chen You was shocked after reading the skill description.
Understood!
"Isn't this the transformation skill granted by the system?!"
As he was contemplating the strategic significance of this skill, a system notification sounded in his mind again:
[Ding! The "Reign Supreme" Trial Path has officially begun! Please select your path as the ruler!]
Two huge relief sculptures instantly appeared before his eyes.
On the left side, a relief depicts an ancient battlefield, shrouded in smoke, with countless battle flags fluttering in the wind.
On the throne, a king clad in armor looked down upon all living beings, with nine golden dragons of fortune swirling above his head.
Four large characters appeared in the middle: [Luck Plunder].
On the right side of the relief, a peaceful celestial palace is depicted, with countless stunning beauties dressed in silk and satin surrounding a tall, slender man.
Their charming smiles and beautiful eyes created a scene that was both alluring and dignified.
The text in the middle reads: "【Three Thousand Beauties】".
"..." Chen You's eyes twitched.
It turns out that spending money on configurations was just preliminary preparation.
The real highlight is this path of trials.
But... what kind of routes are these?
All I can say is that the system understands the players.
A powerful empire and a beautiful woman—both are a man's dreams.
He hid the interface, wanting to ask Xiao Dai what the meaning of these two options was.
However, at this moment he realized that the view in front of him seemed... a little different.
He subconsciously looked up and around, but there was nothing there.
"Xiao Dai, where is he?" Chen You asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, your subordinate is here..." A faint voice came from below, tinged with helplessness.
Chen You looked down.
He first saw a pair of dark black combat boots as big as small mountains, with faint purple electricity flowing on the armor plates of the boots.
Looking further down, he discovered that the Shadow King Dai, who had previously resembled a colossal prehistoric beast, was now standing right next to his feet.
Like a forgotten figurine, it tilted its head back, its scarlet eyes gleaming with confusion.
"Why have you become so small?" Chen You couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, you've grown bigger..." Shadow King Dai raised his head, his massive body appearing somewhat pitiful at this moment.
Its originally loud voice now sounded as if it had been drawn out, carrying a sense of unreal remoteness.
Chen You then realized what was happening and instinctively raised his hand.
It was a giant hand covered in dark armor, each finger as thick as a stone pillar.
These hands seem capable of easily crushing a mountain.
He looked down at Shadow King Dai again.
The latter was straining to look up, as if gazing at a mountain peak that pierced the clouds.
Its size was once enough to make any mortal despair.
At this moment, however, it appeared so small in front of him, not even as tall as a section of his calf.
"This isn't some kind of transformation, it's the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth!!"
My current height is at least over 100 meters!
Chen You couldn't help but smile.
"Are you sure? I feel like this is my original 'normal' size, while you've become tiny?"
"Your Majesty, according to the system rules, you have activated 'Monarch Avatar,' which amplifies your size and strength simultaneously. This is normal."
The voice of Shadow King Dai still carried a programmed respect, but Chen You keenly caught a slight, unnatural tremor.
"In addition, the size of the throne was automatically adjusted to ensure visual harmony."
"Harmony?" Chen You looked around.
It was because the throne had grown larger that he didn't immediately realize the change in himself.
But then I thought about it again and realized that didn't make sense!
This is a mythical skill, so shouldn't the clone skill be unusable?
Could it be because it was just created and they gave it a special trial card?
Never mind, I'll try again another time!
Quickly gathering his thoughts, Chen You asked what the two options meant.
Although Xiao Dai cannot see the interface, as an NPC, he should know it.
Shadow King Dai swallowed hard, trying to adjust his posture so that he didn't look like he was trembling in front of Chen You.
"Your Majesty, 'The Plunder of Fortune,' as the name suggests, is a path of conquest and expansion."
"Choosing this option will unlock a series of missions related to territorial disputes and civilization wars."
"That sounds pretty good," Chen You mused.
He carries the fate of the entire nation of China on his shoulders. If he can fight for more fortune for China, then of course he must go!
"What about 'three thousand beauties'?" he asked casually, even though he was almost certainly not going to choose that, he still wanted to know.
Shadow King Dai seemed to hesitate for a moment, its crimson eyes flashing more frequently.
"The 'Three Thousand Beauties' approach... is a route that focuses on 'emotion' and 'influence'," he carefully chose his words.
"Selecting this option will unlock pathways to interact with NPCs, build complex networks of relationships, and obtain special rewards through 'Romance' quests."
"By gaining the loyalty and affection of numerous NPCs, you can also accumulate fortune and indirectly strengthen yourself."
"A romance quest?" Chen You raised an eyebrow. "Sounds a bit like a visual novel. Can this really gather luck?"
But just thinking about being entangled in love and hate with thousands of beautiful women sounds too exciting, but also too troublesome!
but……
"Are there no other routes besides these two options?"
Chen You spoke again.
"You design it, money is not a problem."
