Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 11 First Skin

Half an hour later, Yang Xu finished inspecting the territory and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. He couldn't wait to open the panel and exchanged it for an archaeological shovel in the store.

He still had a few squares left to dig for treasure yesterday!
[You exchanged for an 'Archaeological Shovel', points -50, remaining points: 5.]

A small and exquisite shovel appeared on the ground in front of him.

Yang Xu picked up the shovel, walked to an unexcavated plot of land, found an open space, and began to sweat profusely.

Twenty minutes later.

You excavate a plot of land, but it's empty.

[Archaeological shovel durability -1, 4/5 remaining.]

The first one, no.

Yang Xu was not surprised at all. From yesterday's excavation, it could be seen that the overall delivery rate of the plots was relatively low. Including the two plots dug by the previous administrator, only two out of five plots were found, a hatchet and a radar, and the delivery rate was less than half.

No nonsense, move on to the next piece immediately.

After a while.

You have initially excavated a plot of land.

You unearthed a fishing net from an ancient era.

[Archaeological shovel durability -1, 3/5 remaining.]

Wuling people's fishing net

【Type: Archaeological tools】

[Affiliation: Seventh Era]

【Quality: Broken】

[Description: In the Seventh Era, the Wuling people, who made their living by fishing, wove a fishing net. It has become tattered and worn by the erosion of time, and could fall apart at any moment. Throwing it into an unfished area might yield something. Uses: 2/5.]

"Uh……"

Yang Xu looked at the tattered fishing net in his hand. When he got the rusty hatchet yesterday, he thought "ordinary" was the lowest quality, but he didn't expect there was also "broken" underneath.

Looking at the description again, it turned out that this thing was not a treasure, but an archaeological tool like the shovel in his hand, except that the shovel was used to dig the land, while the fishing net was used to "dig" the water.

The question is, is there any water nearby?
Yang Xu looked around. There was indeed a river outside his community, but he didn't know whether it could be considered a body of water. Moreover, it would take some time to expand his territory there.

This is equivalent to drawing a card and getting a "Out of Nothing" card, telling him that he can draw two more cards, but the deck is empty.

After being messed up in the wind for a moment, Yang Xu quietly put away the fishing net and moved on to the next one.

"A weapon, or maybe even armor..."

Yang Xu prayed while digging the soil. What he needed most now was something that could increase his fighting power. He felt too insecure with just that hatchet.

Maybe his prayers worked, but after another shovel, Yang Xu suddenly felt something hard under the shovel.

Yang Xu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly and carefully dug around.

After a moment, the outline of a human skeleton appeared.

[You have initially excavated a plot of land and unearthed the skeleton of a creature from an ancient era. Refining the skeleton will yield a skin for the corresponding character.]

[Archaeological shovel durability -1, 2/5 remaining.]

It was quite strange that a corpse was dug out while digging a pit.

Yang Xu didn't have time to care about these things at this time, but looked at the latest prompts on the panel with surprise.

Skins: Essential for exploring the Mirror World. Wearing a skin grants you a specific appearance and some of the skin character's abilities and skills. Skins can be upgraded using experience points, enhancing their attributes and skills. Skins can be switched at any time while out of combat.

"skin……"

When Yang Xu saw this word, the first thing that came to his mind was the paid skins in various mobile games. After putting them on, the game character can be transformed into a new image from head to toe. Of course, it only changes the appearance and generally does not change the abilities of the game character.

But the current 'skin' is obviously different. Not only does it change the appearance, but even the abilities of the skin character during his lifetime can be inherited!

What is this concept?
He possesses the bug-level ability of time-stopping. Yesterday's battle was so difficult because humans are inherently weak. The monster could easily kill him with a single slap, so he had to be extremely cautious. If he were given a powerful skin, transforming into a powerful figure from an ancient era, combined with time-stopping, wouldn't it be easy to defeat the Mirror Ghost in the future? [Do you want to refine the skin immediately?]

A prompt appears in the panel.

"Yes!" Yang Xu made a quick choice.

[Refining successful, you obtained the 'Qingyun Sect Little Taoist Child' skin.]

【Qingyun Daotong-Sanmu】

【Type: Skin】

[Affiliation: Fourth Era]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Level Cap: Level 10]

[Skin Attributes: (Diligent) (Cautious) (Cooking)]

[Fitness: 32%]

Biography 1: Sanmu was originally a fireman in the Qingyun Sect's kitchen. Yearning for immortality, he often climbed the mountain behind the sect to spy on the sect's disciples' training. Although he was dull, ten years of perseverance eventually allowed him to learn a few techniques and gain a glimpse into the path of cultivation.

[Biography 2: Unknown (Unlocked when compatibility reaches 60%, level cap raised to 20.]

"Cultivate, cultivate?"

After reading the skin introduction, Yang Xu was stunned.

I didn't expect that this word that can only be seen in novels would actually be seen in reality. The prototype of the skin he got was actually a cultivator.

"It belongs to the Fourth Era. Does that mean the Fourth Era is an era of cultivation?"

Yang Xu has seen several eras so far. The hatchet is from the eighth era, the spirit-detecting radar is from the sixth era, and the fishing net he just dug is from the seventh era.

Also included is his Stopper card, from the First Age!

Including this skin from the Fourth Era, he has obtained things from five different eras.

Moreover, these eras seem to have their own characteristics and different forms of civilization. For example, the Fourth Era is an era of cultivation, and the Sixth Era is an era of high technology. It can be said that they are completely unrelated. As for the other eras, it is not clear yet.

Yang Xu glanced at his personal panel, which showed that he was in the 'Ninth Era'.

So the Ninth Era is now? Yang Xu pondered.

The theory of prehistoric era is also a very popular hypothesis on Blue Planet. It predicts that many ancient civilizations appeared on Blue Planet in the long period of time before the birth of human beings. However, no evidence has been found so far, so it still remains in the hypothesis stage.

Now it seems that this hypothesis can be confirmed. Before humans, there have been at least eight civilizations that existed successively. Their traces cannot be found in the real world, but they are everywhere in the underground of the mirror world.

[You already have your first skin. Do you want to wear it now? After wearing it, your existing experience will be automatically converted to experience for this skin.]

Just when I was in a trance, a panel message popped up.

"Wear it!"

Yang Xu muttered to himself.

A burning sensation suddenly came from all the bones and flesh in my body, as if countless small insects were biting me all over.

Fortunately, the burning sensation came and went quickly, and everything returned to normal in less than a second.

However, Yang Xu found that his perspective seemed to have become a little lower. Looking down, he saw that he was no longer wearing his original clothes, but an ancient blue shirt and cloth boots. His arms inside the robe were also whiter and thinner.

Yang Xu ran to the nearest window of a residential building and took a look at his current appearance in the reflection of the glass.

At this time, both his face and body shape had completely changed. He had turned into a fair-skinned boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, about one meter sixty, with a Taoist bun on his head, wearing green clothes, and a handsome face. He looked like a Taoist boy who had lived in the fairy mountains for a long time.

"He really is a completely different person from the inside out!"

Yang Xu looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror with curiosity.

This is not bad. This skin is very suitable for hiding his identity. In the future, if there is anything that is inconvenient for him to show up, he can put on this skin to do it.
