“Hahaha, isn’t it just because I haven’t talked for too long that I couldn’t help myself.”
Lion laughed: “But Big Aries, I was telling the truth just now.
If you don’t believe me, ask the Sagittarius beauty.
She was the second to come here and knows as much as I do.
Pretty lady, isn’t it so?” The last half was said towards the woman seated at Sagittarius’ place.
“Shut up, you’re so annoying!”
The woman at Sagittarius’ place clearly knew Lion’s true colors and immediately retorted.
She then looked at Mu You and nodded, “Although this guy talks a lot, he’s not wrong.
I first entered this palace a year ago, and Lion was already here when I arrived.”
“At that time, only the two of us attended every meeting.
Until half a year ago, Gemini, Taurus, Capricorn, and Libra joined in that order.
Among them, Capricorn and Libra seemed to be a couple and even lived together in reality.
Everything that happened later is as Lion said: Gemini and Taurus teamed up, and it seemed like they had deceived Capricorn and Libra in reality once.
I don’t know what happened to the two of them, but after that, they never attended the meetings again.”
“I see…”
Mu You nodded, finally understanding the past of this association.
But what surprised him was that Sagittarius had come here a year ago…
which meant that she has been a player for at least a year!
Not to mention, Lion appeared even earlier than she did.
What level are these two people?
Mu You was extremely curious about this question.
Luckily, he wasn’t the only curious one, as someone else had asked the question before him.
“Wow, you became a player a year ago?
Your levels must be really high by now,” Aquarius girl exclaimed in surprise.
“No!
No!
No!”
Lion, hearing this, shook his finger, correcting her: “Not a year, a year and a half.
The year only counts the time I joined the secret technique association.
I became a player one and a half years ago.
As for my level…”
Lion intentionally paused here, capturing everyone’s attention before continuing: “I’m not boasting, but just a few days ago I broke through level 12!”
“Wow, a level 12 player!
That’s amazing!” Aquarius girl sincerely praised.
Level 12 in a year and a half…
Mu You quickly did some calculations in his head, then nodded.
This progression seemed to meet his expectations.
“Haha, it’s just about average considering my seniority as a player…By the way, what levels are you two new players?” Lion, finished speaking, turned his questioning gaze towards Scorpio and Aquarius.
“I became a player seven months ago, currently level eight,” Scorpio replied straightforwardly.
“Ah…
I, I just downloaded the game a month ago, I’m still only at level five…” Aquarius girl bashfully admitted whilst gesturing with her hands.
Indeed, compared to the other players, she was the newest one, which made her achievements slightly embarrassing to mention.
“Level five in one month, that’s already quite good! freewebnøvel.coɱ
Don’t rush, I’ve only just reached level 10 after a year as a player.
It gets harder and harder to level up, so just take it slowly.” The girl from Sagittarius immediately comforted Aquarius, at the same time reporting her own progression.
Now, everyone had revealed their levels, only Mu You was left.
After a moment of silence, the others subconsciously turned their gazes towards the seat of Aries.
“What about Aries, what level are you?
Is it higher than mine?”
Aquarius girl asked nervously, hoping that Mu You would say a lower level to boost her confidence.
“Hehehe, girl, don’t think too much about this!”
Before Mu You could speak, Lion across from him interjected: “As far as I know, the higher the Zodiac sign’s level, the tougher the trials.
The Lion trial I participated in had a death rate as high as 70%, and for Aries, the first of the twelve Zodiac signs, the death rate was almost 100%!
Players below level 10 would never pass!”
Lion was very sure about this, after finishing he turned to Mu You, pondered for a bit and said: “Big Aries, I’m guessing you’re level 13!
Am I right?”
As for this question, Mu You wore an enigmatic smile and didn’t respond, only shaking his head slightly.
How should he even answer this?
What should he say?
After all that, it turned out that he was the weakest one among them.
The progression of even the seeming noob Aquarius was higher than his.
It would be too embarrassing to reveal this.
Moreover, Lion had already escalated the atmosphere to this point.
After Lion emphatically stated that no player below level 10 can pass the Aries trial, and then he claimed that he, a level 4 beginner, ran the gauntlet, what would the others think?
Either, he was lying!
Or, he had an outrageously powerful hidden item!
You can’t show your wealth.
This was something Mu You definitely couldn’t admit to.
So, Mu You chose to remain silent.
He just smiled mysteriously, giving them a ‘you guys figure it out’ kind of look.
“Oh?
I guessed wrong?”
Lion, seeing Mu You’s expression, was flabbergasted, “Does this mean, Aries, you are an Ancient Great God?”
“What’s an Ancient Great God?” Scorpio asked, somewhat puzzled.
Mu You really wanted to give this question from Scorpio a thumbs up.
It was an excellent question.
He also wanted to know.
Sagittarius and Aquarius next to him both looked curiously at Lion.
Noticing their gazes, Lion explained, “Players like me who entered the game one and a half years ago are actually considered part of the second batch of beta testers.
I heard that before us, there was an even earlier batch of trailblazing gods.
They had entered the game two years ago, but there were very few of them.
This group of players is known as Ancient Great Gods, who theoretically should all have broken through to level 15 by now.
Each one of them is terrifyingly strong!”
After saying this, Lion looked at Mu You with awe in his eyes and nodded thoughtfully, “No wonder you completed the Aries trial with a 100% death rate.
So Aries is an Ancient Great God from ancient times, my apologies!”
Mu You: “…”
“Wow, a level 15 player!”
The other three were looking at Mu You as if they were seeing something unbelievable.
However, they didn’t sense anything amiss.
Being the only supervisor in the Secret Technique Association, it made perfect sense for him to be an Ancient Great God!
“Alright, no matter what level we are, it doesn’t matter to the Secret Technique Association.
The Secret Technique Association will never discriminate against a low-level player, and won’t favor someone more because of their high level.
Everyone, let’s now focus on the meeting.”
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Mu You felt it best to change the subject quickly, or else how awkward would it be if his cover was blown?
Hearing Mu You’s words, everyone immediately sat upright and turned their faces towards him.
“As there were no supervisors in the previous meetings, I presume your trades did not go smoothly.
Now that I’m here, let me establish some new trading rules for the Secret Technique Association.”
Mu You’s gaze swept over the players present as he slowly began to speak.
“First, starting from now, every participant who decides to join the weekly meeting must bring at least one tradable Magic Card.
Of course, if you believe you have an item or piece of information of equal value, that works too.
If you decide not to attend the weekly meeting, just ignore this rule.”
“Second, if you didn’t bring any trade items due to special circumstances, explain your situation, and bring them next week.
However, if you fail to bring any trade items for three consecutive weeks and choose to participate in the meetings, you will be kicked out.”
“Third, I will oversee all detailed transactions as a supervisor.
If there is a problem with the traded items after the trade, you can come to me for arbitration.
I will negotiate with both parties based on the situation for compensation.”
“Fourth, anyone found intentionally deceiving or falsifying a trade, once verified, will be expelled from the Secret Technique Association permanently!”
