Chapter 1106 - Clown

Chapter 1106 Clown The three power systems referred to that of techniques, pills, and equipment.These weren’t the areas that Aiolos and Mu Zi were skilled in. Since Wang Zhong was in the Heavenly Gates now, he was the one that was better suited to master the knowledge pertaining to these areas.
Senior Wang Zhong, you don’t have to learn everything personally. You can just try to gain access to information and data regarding these areas. Even entry-level information would be extremely important to our civilization!


This was the main reason why Grai came to find Wang Zhong. As
Earth Pioneers
, their common dream was to help the Earth civilization advance. Among all the Earthlings, only Wang Zhong had the chance to expand Earth’s database in order to aid its transition to a high-level information system. After all, things such as pill refinery houses or techniques that were level-8 and above could not be bought with money. In the Heavenly Gates, as long as it wasn’t the core assets of the factions, one could learn any level-5 or level-6 technique or pill formula if one had enough authority and power!


Also…
Grai took out a dimensional pocket space and handed it to Wang Zhong with a smile.
Senior, here’s ten thousand Gold Star Stones. I’ll pass you more in the future so that you won’t need to waste your time on trivial matters.

Lao Wang didn’t decline. A man without money is no man at all. Money was an important commodity, especially in this place.
The last thing Grai wanted to talk about was on accumulating one’s Core. Frankly speaking, the methods which Grai and Mu Zi used to form their Core were not suitable for every Earthling. Even Wang Zhong felt like those methods wouldn’t work out for him, but there were parts of it that he could use for reference. After all, they were all Earthlings and were similar in terms of their body composition, basic cultivation system, and several other areas.
Other than borrowing external force, the essence of Mu Zi’s Netherworld River deathly aura and Grai’s Netherworld River blood technique was to build a second life-core in their body. It was just that everyone built it in a different way.
Among all the information they exchanged, this was undoubtedly the most important one to Lao Wang. He was able to gain some inspiration from the methods that Grai and Mu Zi used to accumulate their Core. More importantly, Aiolos, Mu Zi, and Grai had proven that not only could Earthlings form Cores, they were also rather talented at doing it, and it wasn’t considered to be an impossible task.
This made Wang Zhong feel like he had taken a reassurance pill. He had repeatedly broken through the limits of a Foundational Stage, yet he hadn’t been able to accumulate a Core. No matter how confident he was, he was inevitably a little shaken and started to doubt his direction and even his foundation. However, Wang Zhong felt relieved now.
It wasn’t that he could not break through to that stage, but the Devouring Heaven Technique and Cellular Cosmology had made his physical body too strong. If other people were in his situation, they would have almost formed their Void Cores already. However, with Wang Zhong’s body, the threshold to forming his Void Core had been raised higher. It was foreseeable that when he finally managed to break through, his power would increase exponentially!
…

Wang Zhong and Grai chatted through the night until the next morning, but both of them felt refreshed and energetic.
Grai needed to leave. In order to find Wang Zhong, he was already a few days behind his schedule. If he didn’t go back now, Mu Zi wouldn’t be able to keep up the facade of the Netherworld River Wanderer.
After sending Grai off, Lao Wang didn’t waste time and immediately met Old Cow, Mugthol, and the others to discuss some matters. They talked about the role, treatment, and working conditions of Earthlings in the Heavenly Treasures Street. The Heavenly Treasures Street was merely being open and friendly to Earthlings, providing job opportunities and good living conditions for them. It was not that Earthlings had taken over this place, and everyone on the Heavenly Treasures Street should be respected.
Wang Zhong thought that this discussion was very important, especially after hearing Grai and Mu Zi’s plan.
Most low-level civilizations made a fool of themselves when they first arrived at the divine territory. It wasn’t that their civilizations were uncultured, but they had to go to extreme lengths just to survive and gain a foothold in the divine territory. It was better to make others fear you rather than ignore or look down on you. Otherwise, that would just be courting your own death! One’s path to victory was full of blood and various underhanded means, such as stealing. When you had enough power to gain a firm foothold in the divine territory, only then could you afford to talk about grace and change other civilizations’ impression of you.
Wales Karon was doing well in this aspect. It had been half a year since he arrived at the divine territory, and he had heard a lot about how low-level civilizations rose to power. They had to be ruthless and shameless. Self-preservation was the first law of nature.
It would be dumb if he ended up hindering everyone just for his own enjoyment. While those at the front line were working hard, the others should try their best to support them.
Before Wang Zhong left, all the Earthlings from the Heavenly Treasures Street had gathered together.
Although their average age was quite young, they were all pitiful people who had suffered much in the divine territory. They had long lost their arrogance from when they were God’s favored ones on Earth. Not many people were like Wales Karon, and most of them were very grateful towards Wang Zhong. To have a stable job and life and to not be looked down on by others were unimaginable to most Earthlings here for the past two years.
Lao Wang saw a few familiar faces, such as friends from the 10 Great Families, and also past enemies, such as
Red Widow
Faith Kelly from a top 10 Holy City exploration team. Red Widow felt a mix of emotions upon seeing Wang Zhong again. Previously, she even wanted to bully this newcomer in the Holy City, yet… the difference in their strength had been vast when the Holy Battle ended, let alone now. They belonged to two different worlds now.

However, there was no news of his friends who he missed the most. A Mo Family member said that Mo Wen and Mo Xingchen had been spotted a year ago at the Heavenly River Sandpit, but unfortunately, they had lost contact afterwards. When they went to search for the duo at the Heavenly River Sandpit, all trace of them was gone. It was said that they fell into the Heavenly River and drowned. To Earthlings, the divine territory was a place full of danger and malice. It was common for people to go missing or to die. There were around two to three hundred Earthlings who came to the divine territory. It was a miracle that after two years, 40 to 50 of them were able to gather at the Heavenly Treasures Street.
Wang Zhong gave Uncle Sea the level-9 Vitality Supplement Pill prescription that he gained from Shannali. As compared to Uncle Sea’s version of the Vitality Supplement Pill, this professional version from a pill Faction was clearly more effective. Uncle Sea could hardly take his eyes off it. Of course, this came with a condition. If any Earthling had talent in alchemy, Uncle Sea had to teach him how to refine pills. The fees involved would be fully sponsored by Lao Wang. Other than this, Wang Zhong made similar arrangements for equipment refiners and gourmets. The quality of the pill refinery rooms, equipment refinery houses, and gourmet kitchens in the Heavenly Treasures Street wasn’t high, but they were sufficient for newbies to get started. If they really displayed talent in an area, Lao Wang would make follow-up arrangements for them to continue learning.
It was almost noon after Wang Zhong finished dealing with the matters in Heavenly Treasures Street. It wouldn’t take him long to meet the Law Enforcement Association at the trial hall and return to the Heavenly Gates.
…
The culture of the divine territory was open and diverse in nature as various civilizations converged and interacted. Different races had their own culture. Everyone tried to blend in and get used to each other’s traditions and customs. There were many popular art forms here, including the captivating dances of the goblin race and soaring acrobatics of the winged race…
The most popular art form here was the performances as most civilizations had adopted this as their art form. The most well-liked performance art was theatre.
This was an entertainment event that average people in the divine territory could easily afford to attend. The divine territory was a high-pressure environment, and theatre was a way for people to relieve their stress since it was a mode of performance that had close interaction with the audience.
The Tianyao Theatre had a good reputation and had several special performances that were not available in other theatres. Their most popular gig was performed by Tianyao, a magician who was also the theatre boss.
His magic wasn’t just playing tricks on the audience’s eyes. Although the theatre audience were mostly ordinary civilians in the divine territory, they were considered to be knowledgeable geniuses in their
hometowns
. They only faded into the crowd and became ordinary Joes after coming to the divine territory. Regardless, their eyes were very sharp, and they could see through low-class magic tricks.
However, Tianyao’s magic could fool the audience. He always managed to perform incredible tricks, and his soul-summoning trick was the most talked-about magic trick. He could make your deceased family member appear beside you and even summon celebrities from various civilizations to the theatre to perform for everyone.

Tianyao never summoned souls from level-6 civilizations and above. He claimed that he didn’t have the power to do so, but there were rumors that Tianyao just didn’t want to attract the attention of the aristocrats.
At this moment, Tianyao was performing his soul-summoning trick. He summoned a few famous celebrities across the history of the divine territory. These people were extremely talented and had dominated various sectors in the divine territory for decades. Now, they were dead and from different eras, but they were all gathered together in the theatre and debating. They made strong arguments against each other, making the audience laugh.
These people are really interesting!


They look like the real deal! Their personality, catchphrases… The details are awesome!

Napier Mo was looking at this performance from backstage. This was merely Tianyao’s warm-up gig and was not the main reason why the audience came here.
Soon after, Tianyao waved his hand on the stage, and a surge of power rushed onto the ground. In the next instant, a group of beauties from various races were summoned. They were gorgeous and well dressed. They squeezed the historical figures out of the stage and started performing, interacting with the audience at the same time. They pulled some members of the audience up onto the stage and danced with them.
Suddenly, the whole theatre became a sea of joy.
However, happy times never lasted for long. As Tianyao waved his hand again, the beauties disappeared, causing an uproar among the audience.
No! Return the beauties back to us!


I’m sorry to say that my power is limited. Also, the tickets that you have purchased are only enough to view these performances. If you want more, come again tomorrow! There will be new gigs tomorrow in addition to the beauties. Come to Tianyao Theatre again, and I promise that you will be happier. The next gig is about to start. Anyway, for the old audience, this is a gig that you guys like a lot.


Clown?


Get that unlucky dude to come out now!


Hoho, I will definitely smash his face today!

The theatre immediately erupted into cheers again. They roared and shouted, venting their emotions. Other than expressing their disappointment at the sudden vanishment of the beauties, they were also expressing the unhappiness from their daily lives.
Napier immediately ran on stage and faced the audience, smiling widely. No matter what emotion he was feeling, he always had a smile on his face as he was always wearing clown makeup. Upon seeing his smile, the audience started chanting at once.
Clown! Unlucky clown!


It’s finally your turn!


Welcome, Napier Mo, our unlucky clown. He is always smiling, regardless of what happens. I suspect that he will continue smiling even if he is cuckolded. Haha. I’m joking—
Tianyao’s voice rang at the appropriate time.

Of course it’s a joke, this unlucky clown doesn’t even have a wife to begin with! Hahaha!
someone from the audience shouted immediately.

That’s right, my friend. But, I’m not sure if he will be able to maintain his smile if his face gets smashed. So, this gig is called ‘Who Can Smash His Face?’ Now, you can search for eggs under your chairs. I promise that these eggs are real and not made out of magic! Only the first egg is free, and if you want more, you can purchase more at the Tianyao shop next to this theatre. It would be perfect if you could buy a Tianyao Theatre souvenir book too…

Pa! Someone had already thrown an egg at the stage. Tianyao dodged it.
It seems that the old audience can’t wait any longer. Well then, let’s start!

Napier smiled while rolling around on the stage. He was doing the classic clown moves, juggling three balls of different colors with finesse.

Smash him!
With a loud roar, countless eggs headed for Napier immediately.
As opposed to how they enjoyed the dances performed by the beauties earlier on, the audience’s animality was triggered now. Every single egg was aimed directly at Napier’s face.
Napier jumped up in
horror
at once, paying no attention to the three balls that he was juggling. He started avoiding the eggs like his life depended on it. Of course, according to the rules, he couldn’t block his face with his hands. Pa pa pa pa pa…
Eggs exploded on him, the egg white and yolk making his entire body sticky. But miraculously, none of the eggs ended up on his face.
It took no more than two breaths before all of the free eggs had been used up!
Napier was drenched in sticky liquid, but everyone could tell that his head was clean. He was flashing his signature clown smile at the audience. Upon seeing that no more eggs were heading for him, he patted his chest as if he was calming himself down. He went to pick up the balls on the ground, seemingly about to resume his juggling.

You cheated!
the audience screamed.
Napier merely spread his arms wide and brandished his signature clown smile. As the audience continued yelling, their hate for him reached a peak.

Eggs! I want to buy eggs!

Tianyao was extremely happy. His eggs weren’t sold at a cheap price! He spent so much effort summoning souls, which included all sorts of historical figures and beauties, yet he earned more than double that from selling eggs.
