Curtains Rising 2
'System verified as first-time activation, please input username vocally, and the system will automatically encrypt your soul attribute as the password, no manual settings required.'
”That's some high-tech stuff!” Garen clicked his tongue appreciatively. Of all the many civilizations that he had experienced, the Mech World was the most technologically advanced. But this thing before him left that world in the dust. Evidently, there would always be something out there that was better.
”For the username, let's go with Greatsaber,” said Garen offhandedly.
'Username confirmed, Greatsaber is already taken, please re-enter a username.'
”It's already taken...” Garen touched his chin. ”Then use Scarlet Snow.”
'Scarlet Snow is already taken, please re-enter.”
”Scarlet Snow Greatsaber!”
'Sorry, this username is taken…'
”Blood Splatter Greatsaber!”
'Sorry, this username is taken…'
”Saber King!”
'Sorry, this username is taken…'
”Saber God!”
'Sorry, this username is taken…'
”Saber Saint!” Garen was getting exasperated.
'Sorry, this username is taken…'
”Saber's all taken, then use Sword!”
”Saber's All Taken, this username is available.”
”...”
Garen was beginning to doubt this system.
'Confirm username, 'Saber's All Taken'?”
”Confirm.” He could not be bothered to waste more time on this.
Whoosh.
The silver button in front of him immediately projected a pyramidal 3D image.
The white image spun once, slowly, and a black lighthouse logo appeared in the middle of it.
'Welcome to the Lighthouse System'
A row of words appeared in the very middle of the image, and they were actually written in the local language.
Immediately after that, a white screen that looked like a forum popped up.
It began with Trading Zone on the very top, followed by Quest Zone, Information Zone, and finally News Zone at the bottom. Four in total.
At the bottom right corner, by his personal account, there was an indicator stating his Contribution Points: 0.
Garen immediately pressed Quest Zone, and found two more options inside, Accept Quest or Submit Quest. He pressed Accept Quest, and was instantly hit by a barrage of information.
'Forming a team to farm Little Hell Demons, price negotiable.'
'Sunrise Celestial Technique World: Middle-ranking disciple from the Celestial Sect urgently requires Ultimate Yin ingredient in order to create an instrument, those in possession of any please mmm…'
”A regular martial artist from the Martial Arts World is hiring powerhouses to challenge dojos, the fee is one hundred points a day.'
''High altitude exploration quest: ruins discovered in this world, looking for someone to undo magical formation, price negotiable.'
…
Garen was a little overwhelmed by the long list of various quests, it looked like there were all sorts of quests from all sorts of worlds.
At the bottom, there were even quests asking for someone to bake a cake, ferment some wine, or plant something. There really was something for everyone.
He pressed one, and saw that it also contained the world's weakening degree.
Garen tapped the explanation, and instantly understood.
”Meaning this is how much each world reduces the visiting Transmigrator's powers? Minus one means you'll be one level weaker, minus two means two levels.”
He quickly entered the Four Cornerstones World into the search bar, but it came up with no results. He did, however, see the information of this world in the user bar.
'Weakening degree of current world: -12 (all levels reduced by 12 levels, minimum level Mortal, Level Zero.)'
”...Tsk-tsk, twelve levels, no wonder it's so crazy here, such an oppression is just downright nuts.” Garen bet that Kong Xinxue and crew's wish to hire a powerhouse would go up in smoke, what kind of a powerhouse could withstand that twelve-level reduction and still manage to fight that so-called indestructible Slayer?
Even the six-thousand-year-old faerie, Nine-Tailed Fox, had been weakened so far as to become a regular person, what was more anyone else.
Garen did not consider himself in the equation, because people from the Ancient Endor Mother Stream System had to discard their previous powers and leave with only their souls, so they were forced to start over from scratch every time. That was completely normal to him.
But it was different for the other power systems.
Closing the Quest tab, he pressed the News tab next.
'Demon World Information Exchange', 'Xianxia World Information Exchange', 'Martial Arts World Information Exchange', 'Wilderness World Information Exchange', 'Latest Updates on World Changes'
'Encyclopedia of Forbidden and Dangerous Areas'.
There was a ton of information along those lines, all crammed in there.
Garen just browsed through them briefly.
There was also a page for asking questions and requesting help in the News tab.
Garen pressed it, and found a chatroom space. There were people chatting in there, but they seemed to be reaching the end of their conversation.
