“Fifteen million spirit stones…” as the heated competition from down below continues, a voice comes out of one of the private rooms, silencing the entire crowd as what is presumed to be an important or powerful person expresses his desire to but the artifact armor.
Hearing the price, the people watching from their seats couldn’t help but take a deep breath, never expecting that someone will just suddenly raise the price of the artifact by magnitude of millions of spirit stones.
‘This people, you’re clearly ruining my good chance at earning some money…’ the lady in the stage thought to herself as she clearly knew that the price of this artifact armor is meant to go even higher than it currently is, but due to the abrupt raise of the price from whoever is it inside that particular private room, the other people who wants to take their chance at the artifact already starts pulling back from shock and fear.
“Fifteen million spirit stones for the gentleman in room number six, anyone else willing to bid?” the lady asked before pausing for a bit, praying to whoever supreme being to answer her and send her someone that wants to outbid the current price.
“Sixteen million spirit stones…” from another private room, a feminine voice comes out, increasing the bid again causing the lady in the stage to sigh in relief, sending immense gratitude from the bottom of her heart to the feminine voice the just speaks previously.
“Lady from the Tempest Saber Sect, what is it that interests you to buy this armor? You clearly see that this is for men…” the same voice that made the first high bid asks, hint of anger obvious from his voice, his question clearly meant for the feminine voice that places her bid just after his.
“I hope that the young master of the Iron Blood Sword Sect won’t take offense from this little lady’s bid, this thing looks so suitable to my junior brother that I couldn’t help but try to buy it as a gift to him” the feminine voice speaks, her voice clearly mocking as if there’s nothing the other person can do if she really wants to compete for the armor.
“Then let’s see who’s going to have the final laugh… Twenty million spirit stones…” the other voice replied, the clear anger in his voice subsiding into nothing as he raises the price again, the lady just laughing as she answers in kind.
“Twenty-one million spirit stones” she declared, laughing before standing up from her seat, moving towards a young man beside her, his figure seemingly above average but not too exceptional, the only thing setting him apart from any normal person being his bright eyes, one the seems to peer into the depth of any person, making them inexplicably drawn towards him.
“Junior brother, do you like sister’s gift for you?” she asked as she sits on the young man’s laugh, wrapping her arms around his neck and placing her head on his shoulder.
“It’s great, senior sister, thank you for buying it for me” the young man answered before revealing a brilliant smile on his face, the lady looking mesmerized as she stares at his current appearance.
‘Hehehe, another gift from this woman, I’m really lucky to reincarnate again!!! Sky Soul Star huh? Prepare to give all your beauties to this young master!!!’ the young man thought to himself as he moves his gaze to the corner of his eyes, a semi-transparent, blue screen floating in the air, the only person able to see it being him, if not for the immortal-like young man that just saw a semi-transparent golden screen popping out of thin air.
[Encountered a cheat owner. Amount of cheat owner that the user encounters up to now is two. As a reward for finding another cheat owner, the user is rewarded with a new system feature]

Passively active, level increases once the user encounters five cheat owners]
After reading the words floating in front of him, Wu Xiaotian closes his eyes and spreads out his senses all across the building, specifically towards the room where the two people competing for the armor is located, seeing a burly young man holding a sword in his arms in one of the rooms, the other room containing two people, a beautiful young lady possessing a country ending appearance catering a young man with an above average appearance, a semi-transparent blue screen floating in the air just in front of him.
‘Another system user huh…’ Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as he recalls that Long Chen he encountered in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, the only reason why he remembered such short encounter being the fact that this is the first person with a main character template that he encounters.
‘This one seems to be a bit more cunning than that Long Chen’ he added as he noticed how lowkey this young man is, even going as far as appearing weak in front of the lady sitting on his lap even though his strength is far greater than hers.
Looking at the display on his system’s screen though, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but frown for a bit, the words displayed on the young man’s screen making him think that the lady is attracted to him for more reasons other than pure affection.

After reading just this page alone, he can tell that this young man’s system is quite the sinister one, his expression not changing for even a bit as he starts reading the information that his system gathered from the young man.
[Hypnosis System (Advance Mortal Grade Cheat)]
[A non-sentient soul fragment of a celestial mastering the illusion rules that falls from a long time ago. Blended with some special preservation and order rules, now serving as an assistive cheat leaping from host to host. The cheat resets every time it gets a new host]
[The hypnosis only works perfectly for the first try, and that is limited to people at most one realm above the host, after that, the hypnosis will only work for someone the same mental strength or lower as the host, and trying to hypnotize a target beyond that will result in severe, probably even lethal injury]
Done with reading the information, Wu Xiaotian thinks for a while and then turns his head to look at the room where the young man currently is, his vision directly seeing the young man despite all the protective array obscuring anyone’s vision from anything beyond the private room’s glass walls.
While trying to take a mental note to continue placing attention towards the young man, another notification pops out of the system’s interface, making him let his guard down quite a bit.
[Anything lower than Advance Divine Grade Cheats will never affect the user and the shared users, lower grade cheat owners might even face repercussions if they used their cheats against the user and shared users. This immunity will increase as the user’s cultivation level increase]
As the words sinks in on his mind, Wu Xiaotian starts to fall into deep contemplation as he starts to wonder just where the Universal Shop System came from, the incomprehensible depth its always showing him making him wonder just why it will appear on a normal transmigrator like him, with being a well-known mercenary on his previous life as his sole background.
