Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 693 - 74 Baby and Mother Products Store_1

"The biggest gain, huh..."

Wen Yu picked up the robe and Token and gave them a quick once-over.

They were just a robe and a Token, nothing more.

Well, alright then, if you say they are the biggest gains, then they are!

If there's something he didn't understand, Wen Yu would hand it over to someone else to figure out.

Wen Yu casually pointed to the two items in his hand and grimaced at the Almighty Demon Vine.

"So, how am I supposed to use these 'biggest gains'?"

"Don't you know how to wear a robe or how to use an identity card?"

The response from the Almighty Demon Vine was as sharp as ever.

...

The robe, although not an artifact, was well made and draped perfectly on Wen Yu's body.

The cool sensation rejuvenated Wen Yu's spirit—although he couldn't comprehend how a simple piece of cloth could influence his mental state, that didn't stop him from favoring the robe.

This thing might not be as mundane as I had initially speculated.

With this mindset, Wen Yu carefully examined the robe.

The pure black, silk-like garment lacked any discernible patterns. Upon inspection, it was merely a piece of black cloth.

Despite scrutinizing it closely, Wen Yu didn't discover anything exceptional about the robe.

"It's just a robe! Hurry it up!"

The Almighty Demon Vine, seeming impatient, huffed at Wen Yu, bringing him back to reality as he helplessly shrugged at the vine.

The robe was just a robe, and the Token was nothing more than a Token—at least Wen Yu didn't find anything particularly unique about them.

The Almighty Demon Vine, on the other hand, provided an explanation.

"This is an Identity Token of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, just like the identity card on your Earth."

"I'll teach you a Spiritual Fluctuation technique that can activate the restrictions within the Token. It can also be regarded as a method of identity verification."

On Earth, forging an identity card was relatively easy. However, the various ways Humans verified identities were much more complicated to replicate.

Similarly, this Token didn't mean much by itself. Still, combined with complex Spiritual Fluctuations, it became an undeniably secure item.

...

Mastering the complicated Spiritual Fluctuation didn't take Wen Yu long. About half an hour later, he had entirely grasped the technique. Then, the Almighty Demon Vine slowly emerged from Wen Yu's right hand, pointing towards the door.

"Keep the Token safe, head straight out, and I will show you the way."

Upon hearing these words, Wen Yu's body slowly started to fade as his dark energy was activated once again.

However, before he could complete the transformation into his invisible form, the Almighty Demon Vine stopped him.

"There's no need to hide. Just walk out with your head held high and your chest out. Be confident."

Wen Yu was taken aback. My appearance has significant differences from the natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. To me, hiding seems like the better option.

But from the words of the Almighty Demon Vine, Wen Yu suddenly realized a fact.

It seems the special identity the Almighty Demon Vine has arranged for me is perfect enough to offset the minor differences in my appearance.

Upon contemplating this, Wen Yu didn't have much objection. Walking openly on the streets is undoubtedly better than skulking around like a thief!

...

Walking confidently on the streets of Ling Yun City, Wen Yu attracted some odd glances from the variously dressed Skeletons passing by.

In line with the principles conveyed by the Almighty Demon Vine, Wen Yu didn't pay much attention to these looks but took the opportunity to properly check out the Skeletons and the buildings within Ling Yun City.

While the appearance of the Skeletons is self-explanatory, observing certain details revealed many dissimilarities that Wen Yu couldn't help but notice.

The more potent dead souls in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes generally had a more complete bodily structure than weaker ones. For instance, Wen Yu even saw traces of uncorroded musculature on a Skeleton at Peak Level 5.

Although it looks disgusting, it's definitely more human-like than a walking skeleton.

This made Wen Yu think back to Daoless Child and his two companions from the fourth layer—the three Level 4 Breakthrough Achievers had almost completely restored their appearance from when they were alive.

As their power increases, so does their physical strength. It's possible that the higher-level dead souls of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, or even the powerful Breakthrough Achievers on the Fifth Layer of Tiangong, look no different than they did when they were alive.

Under such circumstances, my appearance "might" not be too strange...

"Enter the shop on the right and buy something."

The Almighty Demon Vine's words interrupted Wen Yu's train of thought.

Without asking questions like, "I have no money," Wen Yu trusted that the Almighty Demon Vine would take care of such matters.

...

Upon entering the shop with ease, Wen Yu scanned its layout and products, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Surrounded by a variety of baby bottles, pacifiers, and other maternity and infant products displayed on the shelves, Wen Yu deduced the business of the shop despite not being able to read the language.

A maternity and baby supplies store in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes...

Did I go to the wrong place?

"No, you're not mistaken. Given your current level of cognition, you're pretty much equivalent to a babe in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. If you don't come here, do you plan to go to the Treasure Pavilion in the city center?"

The Almighty Demon Vine's mocking words echoed in Wen Yu's ears. He shrugged his shoulders and stood still on the spot.

It wasn't until a female-dressed Skeleton emerged from behind the densely packed shelves, came up to Wen Yu, and respectfully bowed.

The female-dressed Skeleton uttered a string of unintelligible sounds.

The common language of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes made Wen Yu's jaw drop. The language barrier... I still can't overcome it.

The Almighty Demon Vine uttered a few specific syllables. "Repeat them after me. Then take out your Token."

Wen Yu perfectly imitated the few simple syllables. Combined with the Token symbolizing his identity and the aura of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes emanating from him, the Skeleton gave Wen Yu a brief bow before disappearing back among the shelves.

After a moment, the female-dressed Skeleton returned with a dusty wooden box and handed it to Wen Yu.

How should I pay?

"Use your Identity Token like an ID card. Activate the Token using the method I taught you, then hand it to her."

So simple and quick. Mobile payment services really are popular everywhere...

Wen Yu silently grumbled to himself, then waited for the Skeleton to complete the payment process before leaving the store.

It had to be said, communicating as a 'spy' with natives who looked so different from him, especially with the language barrier, was an awkward situation that made Wen Yu feel a little apprehensive.

"What's the next step?"

"Find a secluded spot and eat what's in the box."
