Chapter 240: The [mao Mao King] From The Moon?
The three-day appointment arrived in a flash.
After recharging some gold coins for his free-range younger brother to show sibling affection, Yuan Zhu hurried back to the Haunted House without stopping, preparing to be summoned.
Time came to 9:20 AM. Yuan Zhu, who was playing with the glass flask in his hand, suddenly felt a burn on the Space Mark on his arm—this was the captain issuing the summons command. So he used a coin and vanished into thin air following the summoning from the Happy Home.
Leaving behind four eggplant head ghosts staring at each other with big eyes.
…
His vision cleared again, spacetime shifted, and he smoothly arrived at the Happy Home, with the familiar “Welcome!” voice ringing in his ears.
Appearing before him right now was Maid No. 3, with her mechanical eyes wide open, a curve at the corner of her mouth, and her left hand holding a goat as she greeted him.
Opposite No. 3, besides Yuan Zhu, there was Meng Xi hugging a large backpack, mouth wide open and yawning with her head tilted back. And Zhou Chu, who had modified her Uniform into investigator style, standing quietly.
And the black burly man overflowing with irrepressible evil killing intent, Huo Tuoluo. This guy’s Uniform alienation level far exceeded Yuan Zhu’s Shadow style.
It was unknown what modifications and refinements the other party had made to the Uniform. The pollution concentration was terrifyingly strong now, emitting a special evil aura far exceeding the Seed threshold.
Clearly, the other party had used the Uniform as a blank foundation, completely breaking free from Mao Mao King’s constraints, forging a unique ‘Evil System’ through an alternative path.
The style was still the waterproof thickened Butcher leather apron, but now with a fully enclosed pig-nose biochemical mask on his face, non-slip wear-resistant gloves on his hands, high-top rain boots on his feet… almost no skin exposed, giving an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Just like the classic horror murderer from the movies. And the malice and killing intent he emitted were also related to concepts like pain, despair, torment, murder…
But miraculously, Yuan Zhu’s Soul Crystal perception appraisal revealed that this guy had about zero lives on his hands. Such dense killing intent, malice, and bloody aura, yet zero kills?
…
The moment the black brother appeared, he attracted Zhou Chu’s sharp gaze scrutiny.
If not for the Happy Home’s harmonious and friendly member protection (no attacking) rule, she would have directly gone to war regardless, bringing the other party to justice.
Besides the old partners Yuan Zhu was familiar with, he also saw Lu Rang and Mai Lili, who had just completed their ‘trial mission’ and returned to the Happy Home.
The former was travel-worn and exhausted. Not much different from Lu Rang in Yuan Zhu’s impression just a few days ago after completing the ‘goblin handover.’ Just his eyes were more resolute, and his Sword Intent more refined.
Yuan Zhu clearly sensed a sharp Sword Dao will from Lu Rang, like a weapon successfully sharpened to an edge.
The Pipe Wrench (Flying Sword) wrapped in cloth behind him had also been infused with spirituality and vitality, refined into a true Flying Sword. When probed by Yuan Zhu’s Soul Crystal, this ‘Flying Sword’ suddenly trembled violently, bursting with provocative intent in response, wanting to clash with him.
Compared to Lu Rang with his modest progress, Mai Lili’s changes were the greatest. The bread shop girl at this moment had become the well-deserved C-position in the Happy Home, even the black brother with his sky-high killing intent couldn’t steal the spotlight.
Zhou Chu even temporarily gave up sanctioning the black man, seriously sizing up Lili, who had transformed from ugly duckling to swan.
The once unremarkable, nonexistent, timid and cowardly Mai Lili who would only flee, hug thighs, and curl up sobbing at difficulties, now had deep eyes, firm will, and a touch of fanaticism.
This bottom weakling girl, originally more ordinary than Lu Rang, had undergone a complete Shedding the Mortal Body and Exchanging the Bones transformation from body to mental will after this round of mission trials.
Eyes full of spirit, fighting spirit high, what drew the most attention was still her Uniform.
In the orthodox Anti-Law. Lower Contract way, she became Mao Mao King’s direct-line dependant (formal employee), and incidentally completed Seed-level transformation.
The once ordinary Uniform had also illusioned into a fairy-like Rainbow Feathered Robe with self-brought Ethereal Mist + Misty Radiance visual effects. A floating sash wrapped around the sleeve, passed through the back, suspended high, then looped out from the other sleeve…
Mai Lili, originally an average-looking bread girl; now under this goose-yellow wide-sleeved Han fu, exuded an ethereal and otherworldly fairy temperament.
The entire Uniform seemed to come with Beauty Enhancement, skin smoothing, filters, highlights… and other effects, instantly outshining Meng Xiyue, who had her mouth wide open wanting to swallow the universe (yawning).
Becoming the high-cold little fairy in the squad second only to Zhou Chu.
Meng Xi closed her mouth with tears seeping from the corners of her eyes, perking up. Before she could greet her old friends, she was stunned by the exaggerated style of the ‘feathered robe little fairy’ before her!
“Huh?! What style is this? What happened?! This is… Uniform?”
She looked down at the most popular fashion style on Taixi on herself; then looked up at the completely different art style ‘classical special effects fairy feathered robe’ opposite.
Though unwilling to admit it, her gaze at her was filled with disbelief, undisguised envy and desire. I want to become like that too!
Under her strong subjective desire impact, the ordinary Uniform on her body gave feedback: Lacking core elements (Anti-Law), cannot simulate! Cannot simulate!! Cannot simulate!!!
…
Mai Lili’s current state was very special; her own strength was still average, but with Anti-Law’s blessing, ‘person and clothes’ were treated as one body, successfully exceeding the Seed judgment.
But her Seed quality and intensity hovered between 1/3 and 2/3 in Yuan Zhu’s eyes under the Soul Crystal.
Both at Seed tier, Holy Light’s lower limit was higher, could be seen as top-tier Foundation Establishment. Something like Mai Lili’s Anti-Law Foundation Establishment (Seed) quality was much inferior, with correspondingly lower achievement difficulty.
Unfortunately, the Anti-Law. Uniform’s effects were too gorgeous, visually masking the flaws, the whole person constantly glowing outward, dazzling and eye-catching.
And Yuan Zhu keenly noticed this was a ‘mental pollution’ that could subtly distort cognition. ‘Ethereal Mist + Misty Radiance’ created illusion effects through vision.
From Mai Lili’s changes, it could be judged that Mao Mao King’s supernatural system followed the Spirit path among Essence, Qi, Spirit.
Seeing that even the most garbage, least present, strongest dead-last Mai Lili in the team had overtaken via a curve to reach the Seed tier.
Meng Xiyue, originally elated and in high spirits, instantly couldn’t laugh anymore. How did the old black ghost, Little Zhu Zi, small fry bread girl… all surpass her one by one? Even that pipe wrench boy had refined a Flying Sword!
Meng Xi couldn’t accept reality and blurted out: “How did she do it?!”
Lu Rang, who had partnered with Mai Lili for a full month, knew this ‘screaming weakling teammate’ inside out. He let his fellow villager Lili show off in front of everyone, striking a high-cold pose to fulfill her posing dream.
Lu Rang spoke directly, explaining for her: “This is the correct way to use Mao Mao King. Luxury Uniform. Lili signed an Anti-Law with Mao Mao, gaining the captain’s protection and guidance. In this trial mission, she slacked off, laid flat, and dragged the team the whole way… until the final Moon Worship Ceremony on the surface, finally ushering in the ultimate outbreak. She let the Uniform’s threads absorb enough Moonlight Essence, lunar refinement forming, transforming into Feathered Immortal Robe.”
Hearing the Pipe Wrench Sword Immortal’s introduction, Yuan Zhu tossed an Evil Detection at his still reserved and showy fellow villager Mai.
Unexpectedly discovering that under the Holy Church’s universal values, the other party’s alignment was neutral leaning kind?!
The Rainbow Feathered Robe’s pollution activity was extremely high, but evil index very low, shifting from real to virtual, charging madly toward ‘spirit, soul, energy’ directions… this was developing toward the Outer World direction (upward).
The investigation-experienced Zhou Chu stared fiercely at Lili, then spoke: “This is Mao Mao King’s true form? Moon Sea?”
Meng Xiyue: “Mao Mao King’s power manifests as Little Fairy? Feathered Robe is a core like Knight System. Armor?”
Yuan Zhu: “Who would have thought, Mao Mao King’s origins are so clean? Supernatural energy this pure?”
The beauty enhancement fairy Mai sister’s current radiating ‘pollution ability’ was among the extremely ‘clean’ types Yuan Zhu had encountered. He even felt Holy Light was stronger, but Feathered Robe was purer.
The group crowded around, marveling at Mai Lili’s Rainbow Feathered Robe.
Couldn’t get enough, absolutely couldn’t get enough!
Yuan Zhu and Meng Xiyue, completely unaware, stretched out their paws, groping and tugging on the little girl’s body, sleeves, and sash.
Meng: “So silky!”
Yuan: “So cool!”
Xi: “I’m jealous!”
Zhu: “Made into pajamas would be super comfortable!”
Yue: “I could sleep forever!”
Facing the two getting more presumptuous, Mai Lili, who had posed once and fully satisfied her vanity, lightly retreated two steps and angrily retorted: “Hey! You two, that’s enough! Don’t dirty my clothes.”
Her tone no longer self-deprecating and timid, but full of affectation. Just like someone who just bought a diamond watch, pretentiously lifting their wrist, muttering ‘let me check the time, what time is it?’
At her reminder, Yuan Zhu noticed the dirty handprint Meng Xiyue left on the feathered robe was instantly purified and cleaned by the self-brought ‘mist and radiance’ effect.
Yo? It even had constant automatic cleaning function. This Uniform was damn good for showing off!
At this moment, Mao Mao King’s image in Yuan Zhu’s mind gradually solidified into a cleanliness-obsessed, vain ‘proud little posing loli fairy.’
Meng Xiyue, eyeing the fairy robe with built-in lighting, beauty enhancement, self-cleaning and other functions, sourly said: “Hey, bread girl, what abilities does your Feathered Robe have?”
Having gained self-protection power, Mai Lili finally dared to speak boldly: “My cultivation is still very weak now, need to borrow Mao Mao King’s divine power blessing. Can achieve light body, short-distance gliding, half-mist virtualization, manipulate radiance (energy) for combat, manipulate feathered robe threads to control puppets, mental manipulation and reading… As for other abilities, still need to slowly adapt and explore. How about it, sister jealous? If you want, you can also worship Mao Mao King and sign an Anti-Law!”
Zhou Chu: “The core of your Feathered Robe is absorbing Moonlight Energy, right?”
Mai Lili shook her head: “Sister is too shallow. How could Mao Mao King’s greatness be understood by an investigator like you? Moonlight is just the base strength to activate the Uniform, still needs the exclusive rules unique to Mao Mao King (Anti-Law) cooperation.”
Yuan Zhu could understand it, just like Tiger Demon could be classified under Shadow Demon God (prototype), using Shadow Pollution energy. But not all Shadow Power users could master Tiger Demon’s exclusive abilities.
Mao Mao King must have an exclusive system like Boss Template, able to completely transform the Uniform, activating Little Fairy (Feathered Robe) mode.
Entries like Moon, Feathered Robe, spirit, threads, and Silkworm? should be the core abilities of Mao Mao King Anti-Law.
Yuan Zhu began speculating that the other’s lair was perhaps on the Moon?
Meng Xiyue quickly followed up: “Captain, is my Mao Mao boss a deity on the Moon? No wonder no shopfront on Du Ling Star, your Children’s Wear flagship store opened to the Star Realm?”
The captain shook his head: “No, Mao Mao King doesn’t live on the Moon, but deeper in the Nightmare Bubble Layer. Though Mai Lili’s cultivation direction is indeed toward the Sea of Consciousness, can be classified under Yin God method.”
Meng Xiyue nodded as if she understood: “Oh! Exiled to the mortal world, right?”
Yuan Zhu: “…”
The crowd studied and discussed around Mai Lili for a good while, all expressing congratulations and blessings, only Meng Xiyue expressed envy, sourness, and desire toward the true Mao Mao King Feathered Robe form.
Hmm, Zhou Chu’s gaze at Mai Lili was also intense, couldn’t help but another round.
The males headed by Yuan Zhu quickly got over their desire for pretty clothes, stopping at appreciation and finding it aesthetically pleasing. Rather, Mao Mao King’s supernatural root being related to the Moon was somewhat unexpected.
At this time, the captain spoke: “Giving everyone half an hour to prepare, then opening the next batch of qualifications to enter the Underground World. This exploration has no mandatory missions, can optionally take Side Missions issued by Mao Mao King. Lu Rang, Mai Lili, if you have energy left, you can enter again for free action.”
Lu Rang quickly waved his hands: “No need, no need, I just want to go home and sleep now. I haven’t had a solid sleep in a long time.”
Mai Lili: “Captain, I need a quiet environment now to absorb and digest this mission’s gains.”
The captain gave her special treatment: “Go to your ‘guest room’ for Secluded Cultivation, I’ll open a cultivation environment suitable for you and adjust time flow rate.”
“Got it!”
The two had clearly done similar teaching cooperation multiple times before. After greeting the others, Mai Lili went straight to her room.
Intern Yuan Zhu and intern Meng Xi exchanged a glance: This is the welfare treatment of direct-line members?
