When Ye Kai opened his eyes again, he found himself on a lawn that surprised him a bit. This lawn, about a hundred square meters in size, was in front of a modern villa bathed in brilliant sunlight.
"Hey! I didn't expect Nightmare Space to be quite reliable in this regard; it really has a sense of being up-to-date!"
He had no notice that many observant individuals were already watching him around the villa. Surrounding him were other villas similar to his, and further away, more than ten miles out, was a massive super-modern city.
Walking slowly to the front door, he curiously reached out and lightly pressed against the light membrane about a meter in front of the door.
"Nightmare Space Notification: Welcome Contractor to this villa."
"Special Villa Rule: The Contractor must achieve an overall rating above A in the initial trial world."
"Special Villa Function: All Contractors who have not received an invitation from the villa owner cannot step inside. The villa owner will gain temporary spatial privileges and possess a self-defense feature; anyone harboring murderous intent towards the villa owner will be immediately detected by them and can be expelled at once."
"Special Reminder: After moving into the villa, you will gain protection from special Law powers, allowing you to change the attributes of the entire villa area at any time to align with yourself."
…
Looking at the lines of rules and privileges displayed on the Light Screen before him, Ye Kai sincerely admired how much more powerful this Nightmare Space was compared to his own broken Divine System.
However, he was confident that as he collected and gained Power of Faith, he would eventually reach or even surpass this Nightmare Space.
"Ha, this villa looks exquisitely crafted from the outside; I didn't expect the interior space to be so large. The living room alone must be over two hundred square meters!"
Ye Kai surveyed everything in his 'home.' The so-called refrigerator was practically indistinguishable from a real supermarket; it was stocked with all kinds of items and cost nothing at all.
Everywhere he looked were advanced electrical appliances, almost all voice-controlled or operated by Mental Power. The basement resembled what Tony used in Iron Man, equipped with many practical exercise machines.
The second floor featured five guest rooms and a master bedroom. After Ye Kai adjusted it, the rooms became exceptionally clean and tidy. White curtains fluttered gently with the breeze, and a white daffodil peeked out on the windowsill, adding a touch of freshness.
Although it appeared quite empty with just a table and a bed, there was a massive Light Screen on the wall that could not only monitor the outside but also change the villa's design at any time.
In this regard, Nightmare Space was indeed quite impressive.
After organizing the remaining equipment from the Nightmare Mark, Ye Kai stepped out of his villa. The moment he stepped into the brilliant sunlight, his eyes suddenly brightened.
All around him were unique villas; some had an ancient charm, while others resembled the grand red-walled gates of ancient aristocratic families. There were also Taoist temples and shrines, and even a floating flying vessel.
In short, the special villas were enveloped in a layer of extraordinary brilliance—some shone with golden light, others glimmered with a green hue, some emitted eerie howls, while others exuded a sci-fi vibe.
Ye Kai smiled at the people observing around him and took another step forward, suddenly disappearing from his spot, leaving behind a burst of white light that quickly faded away.
Earlier, the space had given a hint that the massive city ten miles away was a larger platform—a real world where all Contractors could communicate freely.
In the vast square, a circle of white light suddenly illuminated, and then it vanished to reveal people.
“East District? With five major regions—north, south, east, west—and thirty-six outer districts. Wow… this is truly an enormous city!”
As soon as he appeared, he heard a notification from Nightmare Space. After some reference, he estimated that the city spanned about five hundred kilometers from east to west—an unimaginably vast expanse.
The side length of this city was five hundred kilometers, and there were reportedly seven such cities…
Surrounding the square were numerous buildings, with many people coming and going.
However, their faces were hard to discern; the only thing noticeable was that most had black hair and exhibited distinct Asian features.
In each of the four cardinal directions stood a Bronze stone gate, wide open with halos swirling around. Many people entered and exited through them, while some quickly set up stalls in the square.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Kai strolled slowly while listening to the introduction from Nightmare Space. He occasionally glanced at the tall and unique buildings, his eyes filled with wonder.
He was merely out for a stroll; there was still at least a month before he would re-enter the mission world. Therefore, he wasn't in any hurry to do anything. Besides, his other teammates had just sent messages; it would likely be a while before they could meet up.
Suddenly, he headed toward an ancient hall marked ‘Identification Center.’
The Identification Center resembled an ancient grand hall bustling with people coming and going. However, the more Ye Kai looked at it, the stranger it seemed; this Identification Center was comparable to a bank in the real dimension.
It required taking a number and had counters as well; only here it felt more sci-fi and fantastical.
All he had to do was call out the items he wanted to identify to the counter staff and place them into the massive machine beside him. Each machine was equipped with a large screen that occasionally flashed with colorful lights, eventually settling on a specific color representing the item's grade.
However, just as Ye Kai was about to step forward, a young man with an indistinct face called out to him first, saying, "Hey, brother! Do you have any equipment that needs identifying?"
"Do you need my services? Don't worry, I only charge cost price, definitely not higher than what the space charges. You should know that identifying equipment here not only incurs high identification fees but also requires paying a 'personal income tax.' They charge 1% even for a plain item!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Kai couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Personal income tax?
He glanced at the young man and noticed a colorful badge on his chest that resembled those worn by bank employees—or rather, by identification staff.
The young man even pulled out a one-foot-wide light screen displaying the types of services offered, clearly marked with prices: Identifying equipment below silver grade costs 0 survival points.
Identifying silver-grade equipment: 100 points.
Identifying gold-grade equipment: 1,000 points.
...
Ye Kai looked at this overly familiar guy who spoke like a machine gun and couldn't help but chuckle as he tossed him an item. "Identify this; I’m not short on money!"
"Hahaha! You're really a big spender! Actually, let me tell you, the space charges exorbitantly for identification. Just any piece of equipment costs over 1,000 Evolution Points; that's just for plain items..."
"To be honest with you, if it weren't for our good rapport, I wouldn't be so eager to help you out or go through all this trouble... Whoa!!! This is a rare silver-grade item you have!!!"
Ye Kai remained calm. The longsword was merely one of the items he had obtained from opening chests. He directly replied, "Identify it. If you're capable enough, perhaps I'll support your business in the future."
"Bro, you're really righteous!" The young man paused for a moment before suddenly giving a thumbs up and quickly added, "Since we hit it off so well this time, I'll actively lower the identification fee. Just give me a service fee of 1,000 Evolution Points! I can accumulate six identification attempts at once; just come find me whenever you need!"
Ye Kai casually nodded and added him as a friend. When he saw the interface resembling QQ, he was once again taken aback.
"Ding!"
"What the heck! Bro, your Greatsword is insane!" Li Lin stared at the longsword radiating intense white light, his heart racing wildly.
Just after he finished the appraisal, a dazzling white light erupted, instantly capturing the attention of everyone around.
"Sarg Emlyn, Silver Knight Commander’s sword."
"Origin: Contractor's first trial world 'Night Transmission: Prelude to the Rise of the Wolf Clan.'"
"Equipment Rarity: Silver."
"Material: Unknown."
"Weight: 17 pounds."
"Equipment Slot: Two-handed weapon."
"Weapon Damage: Situational."
"Enchanting Effect: Bestowed with holy power, possesses demon-slaying capabilities. (Note: Strength +, Agility +, Stamina +, Intelligence +.)"
"Equipment Requirements: None."
"Usage Effect 1: This sword has been worn for a long time by its previous owner, Knight Commander Sarg Emlyn, and has absorbed the purest holy power. Anyone wielding this sword will receive the blessing of holy light, gaining a 0% resistance to all negative energy!"
"Usage Effect 2: There is a 15% chance to summon the spirit of Knight Commander Sarg Emlyn to fight alongside you!"
"Usage Effect 3: Anyone wielding this sword will automatically gain the qualification to join the side of justice upon entering a mission world!"
"Evaluation: This is a sword belonging to a knight commander with devout faith. With it, your life will be forever changed; may the holy light envelop you."
"Note: You can sell this item to Nightmare Space for 18,000 Evolution Points or exchange it for a D-grade Soul Gem."
...
Upon seeing these unmistakable attributes, not only was Li Lin stunned, but even the other people coming and going in the hall were momentarily taken aback, before the crowd erupted into an uproar.
"Child, hand me the sword in your hand, and I will ensure you pass the next Golden-Grade Main Quest."
"Give me that sword, and I'll offer you ten thousand Evolution Points."
"Sell it to me; I'll give you fifteen thousand Evolution Points!"
"As long as you hand it over, you can join my Wolf Mercenary Team!"
"Idiot, dreaming big! If you don't have the money, just shut up. You're embarrassing yourself!"
"Damn it, get out of here! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have the Fire Fox backing you..."
"I am from the Barbarian Bull Mercenary Group. Sell it to me, and I'll recommend you for membership..."
"Shut up, I'm with the Eagle Gang..."
...
Looking at Li Lin's shoulders trembling slightly and then at the Contractors gathering around, Ye Kai rolled his eyes in annoyance and directly put away the sword. "Get lost; I'm not selling."
