Chapter 484: The High-Spirited

The Era Merchant Ring was damaged and unable to guide Zhang Mu, but luckily, Zhang Mu carried memories from a future life, otherwise he might not even find the Era Store.

In future memories, Zhang Mu groped towards that direction and entered a wide road, but the passing pedestrians seemed not to see the road at all, as no one went in.

When Zhang Mu stepped onto the road, the people who were walking normally rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

“Did you see someone go in just now?”

“I didn’t see clearly, but it seemed like a dark figure went in.”

“Are you seeing things? No one is that foolish to approach the Era Store, even if it’s by accident, they would be in jail for months.”

Swish!

Zhang Mu’s speed was extremely fast, reaching his limit.

Zhang Mu knew there were likely to be heavily guarded nearby, but luckily most strong individuals had been recruited to the Era Battlefield. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have forcefully entered this way, making a firm decision in his mind.

He couldn’t risk being discovered now and didn’t know the current situation. If caught by the guards, he would need to control the situation. Revealing his identity as an Era Sub-merchant would only bring more trouble.

Normal Era Sub-merchants who have upgraded to junior level must have chosen to enter Era Battlefield by now. Besides, no Era Sub-merchant is qualified if they haven’t entered Era Battlefield yet.

So, he used his Sharira in the brain domain to cast illusions on himself, deceiving everyone.

But now he has no mental power, his mind sea is dry, so Zhang Mu is enduring great suffering now, forcibly activating Sharira to release illusions.

Like a car running out of fuel, even the best engine can only make a few roars.

However, Zhang Mu only wants this brief time.

In an instant, Zhang Mu broke through the watchful eyes of over a dozen guards.

Only when he reached the edge of Era Store did the Era Merchant Ring in his hand react slightly, struggling to guide Zhang Mu inside.

The decor inside was elegant. The Era Merchant here is No. 14. Zhang Mu had traded with him a few times before, but now he has a severe headache from forcibly activating Sharira earlier.

A soft set of footsteps approached Zhang Mu from behind, belonging to a woman whose voice sounded surprised.

“I can’t believe there’s still a Era Sub-merchant outside now, it must have been a while. I am No. 14 Era Merchant, you can call me No. 14, let me see which Era Merchant you belong to.”

Zhang Mu was in unbearable pain now and couldn’t speak, but the other person gently placed their hand on his head, a cool sensation filled his body.

It was the power of No. 14 that directly eliminated Zhang Mu’s pain, and under the effect of this power, Zhang Mu’s depleted mental sea began to regenerate mental power once again.

Going from zero to one is a very difficult process, but going from one to full is the easiest thing, just a matter of time, in a few hours, Zhang Mu will be able to recover to his peak state.

The process of Zhang Mu recovering his mental power was going to be extremely difficult, but with a casual help from No. 14, the problem was easily solved.

Zhang Mu quickly stood up and thanked the Era Merchant behind him.

“No need, but I am very curious, there should not be Era Sub-merchants as weak as you. With the resources provided by Era Store, Era Sub-merchants who can survive until now should have at least reached the peak of the third rank, that’s the minimum requirement.”

The No. 14 in front of him was wearing a white veil, with delicate features, not the kind of beauty that is captivating, but more charming the more you look at.

Although No. 14 was straightforward, it was the truth. Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and said, “No. 14, can you help me fix this?”

Slowly, No. 14 lifted up the Era Merchant Ring in his right hand and placed it in front of No. 14.

“This ring…”

No. 14 quickly noticed the problem with the ring and his expression turned serious.

“It seems to have been damaged by some kind of spatial force. I can only imagine what you went through. Did you take a spin in a rift in space?”

No. 14’s joke turned out to be true, and Zhang Mu admitted he was not sure either, just shaking his head with a wry smile.

Zhang Mu was indeed lucky. It was almost unheard of for an Era Merchant Ring to be damaged while its owner remained unscathed. After all, most people who entered a rift in space never made it back alive.

“Although there’s no precedent for this, it should be repairable.”

Upon hearing that the ring could be repaired, Zhang Mu nervously asked No. 14, “Will I be able to resume my previous tasks once it’s fixed, or will the time already passed still count against me?”

No. 14 placed his hand on Zhang Mu’s ring and examined the cracks, saying, “I’m not entirely sure. We’ll have to wait for Era Store’s confirmation to be sure.”

A dark light enveloped Zhang Mu’s ring, he felt extremely nervous. No. 14 couldn’t give him a definite answer, so he had to be on edge.

If time keeps passing, when this ring is repaired, it will be the same time that he would fail the mission due to exceeding the time limit.

Using the power of Era Store, No. 14 slowly repaired Zhang Mu’s merchant ring, the tiny crack on it gradually disappeared.

Finally, it was restored completely, and a black light rose from the surface of the ring again.

Not dead!

Zhang Mu’s tension was finally relieved, the consequences of the failed Era Merchant mission would be executed immediately, without delay. His situation now indicated that time stood still due to the destruction of the ring.

However, at this moment, No. 14 seemed shocked, shouting in astonishment, and the white cloth on her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Because in the instant of repairing the ring, Zhang Mu’s era serial number engraved on the surface of the ring returned to its original state.

“You are No. 001! The Era Sub-merchant who disappeared for two and a half years! You are the No. 37 person!”

At this moment, Zhang Mu realized that his time had started counting again, and because of this, he regained his confidence. The frustration of wasting two and a half years had vanished!

With his current strength, in this era where third-rank talents are everywhere, he didn’t even qualify to enter the Era Battlefield.

However, all of this didn’t matter anymore!

His biggest trump card had returned!

The continuation of time counting meant that he could not only use the identity of Era Sub-merchant again.

Most importantly, he now had a direct task to be promoted to Senior Era Sub-merchant!

The present Zhang Mu was full of spirit!

Zhang Mu was determined to turn things around!
