Chapter 275 - 229: The Mutant Creature, Cao Dalang
Wang Yi quickly began to explore.
The Chaos Egg Market was deserted.
There were no Players at the moment.
Without any Players, the only way to make a transaction was through the system’s shop.
Wang Yi soon found the system shop.
The system shop was in the center of the plaza. Though it was called a "shop," it was really just a vending machine that looked like a phone booth.

’It’d be great if these Chaos Eggs were Chaos Blind Boxes instead!’
Wang Yi mulled it over. The Chaos Eggs were quite expensive, and since he didn’t have any relevant Talents, he ended up just buying the surprise gift pack for Ten Thousand Gold Coins.
"Let’s keep moving!"
Without wasting any time, Wang Yi led the group to the exit orbs of light.
There were still three exit orbs. After comparing them and thinking it over, Wang Yi chose to head to the Six-Star Station: the Cloud Sky Runway in the Floating Cloud World.
Clearing this station was easy. All you had to do was run to the end of the Cloud Sky Runway. Not only would that let you proceed to the next station, but you would also receive a Floating Cloud Boat.
The Cloud Sky Runway was 1,000 kilometers long.
’An ordinary Player would find this troublesome. A 1,000-kilometer journey is no short distance. But for me, with my Galaxy Airship, it’ll only take about twenty minutes!’
Wang Yi was delighted. He had Ye Longyu pilot the Galaxy Airship straight along the Cloud Sky Runway, while he leisurely inspected the Chaos Egg surprise gift pack.
When he opened the gift pack, he found a purple Mutated Chaos Egg inside.
[Mutated Chaos Egg: Purple Quality. Consumes 100 points of Chaos Energy to hatch an extraordinary, mysterious creature. It will possess three skills and become one of your employees.]
"Hatch an employee? Interesting. Let’s have a look."
Wang Yi hatched the Chaos Egg. Instantly, a man who looked to be in his forties, with narrow eyes and a long beard, appeared before him.
The man wore a coarse, grayish-green robe, oversleeves, and an apron. He was covered in flour, as if he had just rushed out of a kitchen. He cupped his hands in a salute toward Wang Yi and announced, "Cao Dalang, reporting for duty, Boss!"
"No need for such ceremony, please rise!"
Wang Yi reached out to help Cao Dalang up, only to realize the man had been bowing while standing—he hadn’t knelt at all. He was only 1.2 meters tall!

Base Class: Baker

Note 2: Cao Dalang only marries other men’s wives.
Note 3: The more wives Cao Dalang has, the higher his salary demands become.
Note 4: With Loyalty above 80, Cao Dalang will proactively clean the territory, fight crime, and uphold justice in his spare time.

’Holy cow, he really is "mutated"! He only marries other men’s wives... It’s like Cao Cao possessing the body of Wu Da Lang! And he can reach Celestial God Level combat power with over 100 Loyalty... as a Baker!’
Wang Yi found this Cao Dalang wonderfully absurd. He liked him a lot. He immediately started punching and kicking the man, giving him a sound beating.
"Long live the Boss!"
Cao Dalang yelled as he was being hit. The more he was beaten, the more excited and happy he became. In no time, his loyalty reached 81, giving him Elite-level combat power.
