Chapter 2698: Deadly Mistake

Over the years, Unit 9527 had no idea how many people it had hosted. Many cultivators from various worlds, seeing these things for the first time, couldn't help but ask questions, no matter how composed they were. Yet, this person seemed completely unfazed, which contradicted the previous intelligence.

Could he have been faking it earlier? Had some force sent him to infiltrate them...?

A sudden sense of alert rose within him.

Feeling the other person's body tense, seemingly ready to act, Zu An quickly explained, "I accidentally entered a secret realm once, and it happened to be a technologically advanced civilization. That's why I've seen things like automatic doors and elevators before."

He naturally couldn't mention his transmigration, so it was fortunate that secret realms existed.

Unit 9527 finally breathed a sigh of relief. "As expected of a Singularity World, it can connect to so many types of secret realms. Most worlds only have a very limited number."

Zu An's heart stirred. So secret realms were that rare? It seemed the cultivation world indeed held many secrets.

Worried that the other person might press for more details, he quickly changed the subject. "By the way, how many other guests are on the ship this time?"

"Besides you, there are four other guests. You'll meet them soon, and you can see their specific situations then." Unit 9527 gestured to the side, introducing the facilities. "This is the training room. It can provide abundant Primal Qi, spiritual energy, battle qi, or magic elements, tailored to each guest's cultivation system. Your training speed here will be several times faster than in your own worlds."

"In addition to self-cultivation, you can also set up combat simulations here. The system can randomly generate or you can customize the battlefield, enemies, and other parameters, allowing you to enjoy exhilarating battles just like in real scenarios, without worrying about death."

"That amazing?" Zu An was quite surprised. Any one of these features, if found in a cultivation world, would be considered a divine artifact or a top-tier secret realm. Yet, on this spacecraft, it was just an ordinary training room. It was hard to imagine how powerful the Universal Commerce Guild must be.

"After all, the journey is long. Since guests have boarded our guild's ship, we naturally want to provide them with the utmost convenience. Many guests are extremely self-disciplined and constantly strive to become stronger. Making them sit idly would be like taking their lives. Furthermore, having them expend their energy in the training room also prevents them from causing trouble on the ship." Unit 9527 smiled slightly. "You can also try it out when you have time. Don't worry, all facilities, food, and everything else on this ship are free. Dreamland has already settled the bill for those of you holding invitation letters."

Zu An nodded slightly, thinking he should indeed try it when he had the chance. His cultivation progress in the cultivation world had been slow, and this training room could help him learn about various common abilities and attack methods from across the myriad worlds.

"Of course, besides the training room, there are also amenities like a beach, hot springs, and a swimming pool. If guests get tired, they can relax there," Unit 9527 explained, pointing to various facilities.

Zu An was secretly astonished. To have so many recreational facilities on a spacecraft where every inch was precious showed just how extravagant and powerful the Universal Commerce Guild was.

At this point, Unit 9527 suddenly lowered its voice and smiled suggestively. "If guests have other desires, they can try the SPA and massage rooms. The attendants there are carefully selected beautiful maidens of every style imaginable. There's nothing our guests can think of that we can't provide. Of course, this service comes with an additional charge."

Zu An was speechless.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you keep so many attendants on standby on every spacecraft?"

Along the way, he had seen some female staff, but they clearly weren't as numerous or varied as what was being described.

Unit 9527 chuckled. "Of course, we don't keep that many attendants on every ship. Usually, guests select someone from a roster, and then we summon her using spatial teleportation technology. It seems you're quite interested. Later, I'll give you an album where you can view 3D holographic images of each attendant. They are absolutely authentic, no misleading photos."

Zu An gave an awkward laugh. "Let's forget it for now; I'm a bit tired today."

What a joke! He had a pile of female confidantes back home; he had no interest in flirting here.

Unit 9527 didn't seem surprised. "You're right. You've just started your journey, so your mind is probably focused on more important matters. But if you feel lonely during the trip, you can always let me know."

Zu An gave an embarrassed smile and didn't respond.

"This way is the dining area, and further ahead is the bar, where guests on the ship often gather to drink, socialize, and admire the starry sky." As Unit 9527 spoke, it led Zu An through a large door into a beautifully decorated bar.

There were no garish lights; the entire bar was elegant and quiet. There weren't many seats, scattered sparsely in various corners, ensuring ample private space between them.

The bar was surrounded by full-length glass walls, offering a clear view of the outside world.

However, Zu An was too preoccupied to admire the scenery outside. Instead, he observed the few guests inside the bar.

Near the entrance sat a peculiar young man. His skin seemed transparent, and he had no mouth.

What was even more striking were his eyes: they were pure black, without pupils.

Or perhaps he had countless pupils, because upon closer inspection, his eyes resembled a starry sky, filled with many tiny, glistening points, each like a star.

Despite his youthful appearance, his hair was very sparse, styled almost like a receding hairline.

Even the remaining fringe of hair seemed ready to blow away at any moment.

Zu An wondered if this guy's profession happened to be a programmer.

By the window on the left sat an old woman wrapped in thick, ragged clothes. Zu An only took one glance and felt his stomach churn, for he had never seen such an ugly woman.

Her ugliness was one thing, but more critically, her face was covered in various types of fleshy growths. A mere glance would be enough to make anyone with trypophobia instantly faint.

He quickly averted his gaze, noticing an old man sitting in the innermost part of the room.

The old man had several grotesque scars on his face, making him quite ugly as well. However, compared to the old woman he had just seen, he almost looked pleasant.

He appeared to have a disability in his legs, as he was seated in a wheelchair.

But Zu An dared not underestimate him in the slightest, because his entire body seemed to be ablaze with transparent flames. Even from dozens of meters away, a powerful aura of coercion emanated from him.

"￥*！#￥、1...!" The old man snorted coldly and turned to leave.

His wheelchair seemed to be integrated with his body; without any visible manipulation, it simply rolled out of the bar.

Zu An was completely bewildered. He realized he couldn't understand anything the old man had said.

He looked at Unit 9527 in confusion; the unit's expression was a little awkward, as if the words spoken earlier had not been very pleasant.

Just then, a sentence echoed in Zu An's mind: "He just said, 'I thought the master of the Singularity World would be something special. Turns out it's just a weakling.'"

Zu An was speechless.

He instinctively looked towards the source of the voice, realizing it was the transparent-skinned, balding young man.

But he clearly had no mouth!

As if sensing his confusion, the transparent-skinned, balding youth explained, "I communicate with you through mental wave transmissions."

He then shook his head and turned back to observe the scenery outside, seemingly having lost interest in Zu An.

The old woman with the face full of growths also let out a strange cackle and, leaning on her staff, slowly and unsteadily left her seat.

Zu An suddenly realized he had made a fatal mistake. Even within a single world, there were various languages and dialects. The myriad worlds surely had billions of languages, and he had completely overlooked the language barrier. His upcoming journey to Dreamland would likely see the danger level increase exponentially!
