Infinite Potential System

Chapter 447 Charming

The voice didn't pause between any of its commands. The moment William finished the tests, he was immediately asked to retrieve his Signature ID card. Experience exclusive tales on empire

From the look of things, William didn't really have a choice whether to listen to the commands, since running away now would be very suspicious. He channeled a strand of his stored Spirit Qi into the card first, then followed it up by cutting off a small portion of his soul.

With a little help from the System, William figured out how to extract his mental strength, which now required him to manually force it out from his Sea of Consciousness. Before he Ascended, extracting mental strength was a simple matter, but a few steps were added since.

Lastly, William made use of the Weapon Sharpness Talent and a Starmetal Shortsword to draw a thin line across the wrist. Combined with his residual aura, the Signature ID card finally recorded William's information and the card disappeared into thin air.

Whether the method used was Space Magic, Arrays, or something else, William couldn't tell.

"Information verified. Welcome to the Slightveil Plane, Ascended Cultivator William." the ID card reappeared moments later in the same position, while the voice congratulated his successful test.

William nodded, listening to a long series of follow-up instructions from the unknown person manning the back.

They explained the honorifics he should use when speaking with others, which tiered from Waste to Ascended Cultivator, and finally to Excellent Cultivator. Other than those, there were also the job titles such as Vera's role as an Advisor, and City Hall members referred to as Staff.

Lastly, there was one Lord of each major and minor city, who would be simply addressed as Lord. It was almost like a noble hierarchy, but slightly different from the standard that William knew.

He was then given a large booklet full of rules related to both the Slightveil Plane and Great Rouge, then Vera entered his testing room to pick him up.

He opened the booklet and took a peek at the contents, but when the inside spilled out almost endlessly and piled on the floor, William promptly paid the System four thousand Potential Points for it to read the rules to him.

-You're going to make me read the rules to you? Why don't you read them yourself?

I don't have the time, Vera is here to pick me up, and I don't want to get in trouble again... can't you do this for me?

-Fine.

"Ascended Cultivator William, congratulations on your successful test!" Vera smiled in an unusually high-spirited manner. It seemed that William had still gone slightly overboard, but it should be manageable.

"Are you okay, Ascended Cultivator William?" Vera asked with a bit of concern.

"Ah, yes. I was just thinking. What were you saying?" William smiled back as he cut his mental conversation short.

"I asked you what you plan to do. I can show you around the city if you'd like." Vera seemed eager to follow William now, as if he had suddenly become a fat goose that laid golden eggs. It was obvious that he was close to this Excellence level even if he hadn't made it.

Is she asking me on a date?

"Is there a market?" he decided to ask.

Part of William's Jack of All Trades Talent included Sales, which allowed him to see the value of all items in his possession. That said, when Starmetal weapons were mostly worth 1-3 Spirit Jades, William didn't exactly know what that meant to him.

"Ah, yes. I know a few markets that run daily in Great Rouge, and Treymon hosts several auctions a year. They're at random times, though, so you'll have to keep an eye out." Vera explained.

Treymon?

-Another major city located two million kilometers southeast of Great Rouge. It's the closest major city, but there are a few minor ones and developing towns in between.

Sounds more like a creature from anime than a town name, but alright.

"Great, do you mind taking me there?"

The corners of Vera's mouth turned up, "Of course, let me show you the way."

William was beginning to like the Physical Charm Talent. As long as he had some ability and good looks, Vera seemed more than willing to spend more time with him, even if she had other things to do.

But of course, William hadn't spent a lot of time around others in the last few years, mostly traveling alone and very briefly spending time in cities to resupply. Only when speaking with his friends did William become a social butterfly.

Now that he was forced to roam a Major City, however, William started to notice a few oddities. Everywhere he walked with Vera, heads would initially turn to look at her, but immediately locked onto a more eye-catching target, him.

There was no discrimination, either. Men and women alike found themselves attracted to this man whose Physical Charm Talent had reached X-Rank.
