Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 390 The Prelude to a Great Cause
One day later, exclusive room.

[Tip: [Natural Gift] has been used, charm attribute +1]

"Well...this means the charm attribute is also 80 points."

A cold reminder sounded. Xin Lailai put down the potion bottle in his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at the attribute panel at the edge of his sight, and nodded with satisfaction.

Naturally, the bottle of potion he just drank was not bought from the market, but Xiaopu prepared it for them. The reason was that after seeing that their charm attribute had reached 79 points, the little guy volunteered to join him and Ling Yuzi. While helping Xiao Bai perfect the Dark Steel Mecha, he specially refined a bottle of potion for them that can be effective on charm attributes below 80 points.

Although in terms of process, the little guy, who is still a little lacking in pharmacy skills, spent enough materials to refine this bottle of potion, he could even buy two or three bottles of the same effect. However, for the little guy's thoughts, Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi himself would not feel any dissatisfaction, but instead would have a sense of joy in watching his child grow up.

——So what if the cost is three times more expensive than the market price? It's enough to know that his Xiaopu has been able to refine a permanent gain potion!

"Eaaah!" "Ah woo!"

Two excited screams came from the side, coming from two little guys who were wearing gaming helmets and playing virtual games with their good friends.

Unlike Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi, the two little ones were obviously full of energy after doing their own things. As soon as they finished testing the performance of the mecha and refining the potion, they put on their gaming helmets and got on board to celebrate.

——No matter who it is, including himself, he cannot tolerate anyone ignoring the two little guys' own thoughts and using them as tools to pursue power.

There may be people in this world who are willing to give up family affection, humanity, and bottom line in order to become stronger, but that's not him, and he never wants to be him.

"Therefore, Dad promises you that when I borrow your Crab Army from you in the future, I will always ask for your opinion, Xiaobai. If, Xiaobai, you feel that what Dad plans to do with the Crab Army goes against your principles. If so, Dad hopes you can express your thoughts and refuse Dad’s request.”

"But Dad knows that Xiaobai, your biggest wish is not to use the machines you built to start a war, but to create a mechanical planet of your own, and to use machines to change everyone like the predecessors in the book. life."

Xin Lailai looked at Xiaobai in front of him, and then at Xiaopu who was also looking over. He took the pliers and paws of the two little guys, held them together gently, and said seriously.

Including Xiao Pu, when Xin Lailai knew that Xiao Pu had made some success in pharmacy, her first reaction was not to be happy about the profits that could be obtained in the future, but to be happy for Xiao Pu's growth, and happy that the little guy was also happy. Take control of your own means of livelihood.

"Yeah?"

With the talents of the two little ones, coupled with the two teachers 83203 and Guo Ming, and the friends the two little ones have made who can buy black maple tea leaves, even if something happens to them one day, the two little guys can still be there. Live peacefully in paradise.

If for the sake of strength he has to give up his leftovers, Xiaobai and Xiaopu, and betray everyone who has helped him along the way, then for him, becoming stronger is not becoming stronger at all, it is just called "becoming stronger" Just a puppet of desire.

He can allow himself to use Xiaobai's power to win, but he must not allow his own desires to cover Xiaobai's dream.

Ling Yuzi's voice sounded in his mind, and the girl sitting aside looked at Xin Lailai, with a look of worry in her eyes. Xin Lailai nodded, took a deep breath, and walked to Xiao Bai, He knelt down and said with a smile:

When Xiaobai heard Xin Lailai's words, his smart little eyes looked thoughtful, while Xiao Pu gently rubbed Xin Lailai's palm with his soft face and licked it affectionately. holding their palms.

"Dad understands that you may be thinking that helping your parents and fulfilling their wishes is a natural thing, but there is one thing that your parents hope you can understand..."

"Ah woo~"

——But to Xin Lailai, Xiaobai is not just a permanent summon, but something as precious as his and Lingyuzi's child.

"It's like this. As for your robot crab army, dad may want to borrow it to do some things in the future, and he may even use it to do some bad things, such as starting a war or something."

"You are all good children and know how to think about your parents. But for us, compared to the power brought by the robot crab army and the alchemy potion, the most important thing is that you can live happily. Do you understand? "

Finally, the little crab showed a determined look in his eyes, nodded his eyes vigorously, and made an affirmative gesture, as if to say that he would never let Xin Lailai down.

'Well, I know. Since I have time now, I will have a serious talk with Xiaobai. '

——Let his children go against their dreams and become the makers of war weapons for their own desires. Xin Lailai cannot do such a thing, nor does he want his future self to do such a thing.

When Xin Lailai saw this, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she gently hooked Xiao Bai's pliers with her little finger.

From a profit perspective, Xin Lailai's approach was unwise.

'Lailai...'

——I heard that the team of the two little ones and their friends has even reached the knockout round of a large competition, and has become the favorite team to win the championship.

If it were other contractors, they would probably be immersed in the joy brought by this power and ask Xiaobai to develop in the direction of the Crab Army in the future and build a war army for themselves to seek benefits.

Although the material of the Dark Steel Mecha itself has a great restraint effect on gastrea, it still cannot change the fact that a Dark Steel Mecha can be regarded as a first-tier third-level contractor. .

Naturally, Xin Lailai wouldn't say much about this. It would be better to say that the two little ones can only make so many friends and it's too late for him to be happy. After all, he and Ling Yuzi are not in the park most of the time. What worries him the most is that the two little ones stay there. Will the room be too boring?

Therefore, he drew up this virtual contract to limit himself who might change his mind in the future.

You must know that the Crab Army is an extremely powerful force. In the world of black bullets, Xin Lailai can be in a no-man's land among a group of third-level gastrula with just one modified dark steel mecha. , and can even directly fight with the Zodiac, which is the dominant unit.

Xin Lailai said word by word, released his palms, and gently stroked the little heads of the two little guys, with a gentle look in his eyes.

Therefore, Xin Lai Lai tried his best to conceal the existence of the two little guys along the way. There were still a few people in the paradise who knew that Xin Lai Lai was a performer, but those who knew about the existence of Xiao Bai and Xiao Pu were There are only a handful of them, but they are worried that someone will target the two little guys because of them.

"Xiao Bai, dad wants to talk to you about something. I wonder if you are free?"

"That's what we think of you too."

"That's great, then it's agreed."

He pursues power in order to have the right to choose, rather than giving up everything to pursue an empty power.

Xin Lailai looked at the little crab in front of him, gently held the other's small pliers, said with a serious expression, and sent the virtual contract he had drawn up to the other party.

There was a hint of doubt in the little crab's eyes. He turned around curiously and looked up at Xin Lailai.

After all, in a place like Paradise, there is absolutely no problem in doing so.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Ling Yuzi looked at this scene with his eyes moving slightly but said nothing.

Yes, he did want to become stronger and master more powerful power, but he knew better why he became stronger.

"Yeah!"

Xiaobai nodded, his eyes were firm, and he clicked his name on the virtual contract sent by Xin Lailai.

[Signing completed, contract party: Xin Lailai/Ling Yuzi, Xiao Bai, notary party: Sanctuary Paradise, Tree of Void]

……

Ten minutes later, Lailai Cult headquarters. "Ling Yuzi, you said... am I not suitable to be a contractor?"

In the empty corridor, Xin Lailai looked at the dim lights above his head and murmured.

There are obvious benefits at hand, but he has set such strict constraints on himself. If he were a contractor from the Western Sect, he would probably think that he was crazy.

"Hmm... In terms of compatibility, I think not only the contractor, but also the compatibility between Lai Lai and Le Lai as a whole is actually pretty bad."

Ling Yuzi's figure appeared, sat on Xin Lailai's shoulder, gently swayed his two snow-white feet, looked down at the young man beneath him, his jewel-like pupils reflected the other's resolute face, and said seriously:
"If I were Paradise, I would definitely not recruit you, Lailai, to be a contractor. Lailai, you like to think too much. You have too many problems. You are not obedient at all. Sometimes you are very stubborn. No one can persuade you. When I came back, I saw that he was not a qualified contractor."

"She is very shameless, loves to deceive people, and is extremely greedy for money. Sometimes she is as fussy as a child. She won't even let flyers go. She can't even stay in bed for 24 hours without restoring her authority. She even snores when sleeping."

"...Ling Yuzi, when did you learn your poisonous tongue, and do you have any misunderstandings about the normal time in bed? No matter how you look at it 24 hours a day, you will die, right?!"

When Xin Lailai heard Ling Yuzi's merciless complaints, her eyelids twitched slightly and she retorted.

24 hours? With how crazy they were in bed, if they had been doing it for that long, he might have been fucked on the spot!
"but--"

Ling Yuzi ignored Xin Lailai's complaints, but looked at him softly, with a smile on his lips, changed the topic and said:

"Although Lailai, you will definitely not be a qualified contractor, but you must be a trustworthy friend, a reliable companion, a strong warrior, a shrewd businessman, an excellent scholar, an unyielding challenger, and...I The best Lai Lai and the best father to Xiao Bai!”

Ling Yuzi said with a smile, Xin Lailai's figure reflected in his ruby-like pupils, as if he had already memorized the other person's appearance deep in his soul and even his origin.

When Xin Lailai heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he laughed. The dazed look in his dark pupils suddenly disappeared, and he chuckled and said:

"Really? That's enough."

……

At the same time, the void.

"Not enough! Ah... not enough! Far from enough!!"

A hysterical and crazy voice sounded in the dead and cold void, and the black shadow was tearing at his face like crazy, twisting his head constantly, chewing words full of madness in his mouth.

At its feet, there are piles of twisted flesh-like things. The broken corpses of unknown creatures are piled there haphazardly. The twisted creases on them make it difficult to imagine what kind of torture these creatures suffered during their lifetimes. .

"Ah...why? Why can't I find it?"

"Obviously the stage has been set and the audience has also been set, so why can't we find the most crucial part?!"

"It's unreasonable, incomprehensible, this world is too ridiculous, it has no sense of art... I can't do it anymore, ah, no matter what it is, please appear in front of me!"

The black shadow crossed his arms, like a man who couldn't find a fire on a winter night, his whole body was trembling, and he shouted in a crazy tone.

"So, what exactly are you looking for?"

The playwright glanced at the large number of corpses of abyssal creatures floating randomly like space junk, glanced at the notebook in his hand, looked at the black shadow in front of him, and said.

It has been two full months since the other party said what stage they wanted to prepare and what great achievements they wanted to witness.

In the past two months, he was led by the black shadow to break into various abyss erosion areas and capture various abyssal creatures from them. As a result, the black shadow would follow him every time in less than half a day. He went crazy and killed all the abyss creatures he had worked so hard to capture.

Well, maybe we shouldn't use the word 'like' to describe it. That would be a bit too insulting to a normal epileptic patient.

"What are you looking for? Needless to say? Ah... of course it is the one that is indispensable for every great deed! Yes, it is that, there must be that. If that is missing, how can it be called a great deed? !”

The black shadow glanced at the playwright, and then continued to babble crazily as if he was in high spirits.

——As expected, it would be better for him to quickly find a way to get rid of this guy.

The playwright listened to the black shadow's words that were not intended to be understood at all, looked down at the book of fantasy in his hand, and thought in his mind.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, as if he noticed something, the playwright suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction. The next second, a space wave that was so weak that it was difficult to detect suddenly came, and then a dark shadow suddenly came towards the playwright. coming from the direction of

Whoosh-!
A flash of cold light flashed, and a huge black curved blade slashed towards the playwright, but it froze immediately before it got close to him.

Also frozen is the shadow-demon-like dark creature connected to the blade that has lost half of its body and has scarlet light shining in its eyes.

"This is...the mutated Yuanying?"

The playwright looked at the creature before him and recognized its identity.

Abyss Shadow is a common abyss creature in the abyss erosion zone. This creature's lifespan is not long, and its erosion ability is not strong. Its biggest feature is that it can imitate other people's skills and abilities and block conventional detection.

Unlike those powerful abyss-breeding creatures, Abyss Shadow's upper limit of strength is very low. Generally, reaching the seventh or eighth level is the limit. Only a few mutant individuals can break through to the ninth level or even higher.

For some people who are new to the front line, Abyss Shadow may still be a headache, but for him and those who have had countless encounters with abyssal creatures, the strongest and most powerful people on the front line. , this thing is just like the exams in student days, its only value is to bring back memories of youth.

"I thought it was something special. If it's just a Yuanying, there's no need to keep it."

The playwright shook his head, with a look of disappointment in his eyes. He had captured Yuan Ying and the mutated Yuan Ying before, but they were killed by the black shadow and other abyssal creatures together. Therefore, in his eyes, this Things don't have any value to keep.

But just when the playwright was about to take action, the voice of the shadow suddenly sounded:
"and many more!"

The black shadow suddenly stopped talking to himself crazily, and suddenly looked at Yuan Ying in front of the playwright. He rushed in front of the playwright and stared at Yuan Ying in front of him, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Let it go."

An expectant voice sounded. The playwright frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say much and directly released his control on Yuan Ying.

Wow——! !

The cold sword light bloomed, and Yuan Ying's eyes flashed with red light. After getting rid of the control, without any hesitation, he slashed at the black shadow in front of him with a knife.

Seeing this, Heiying smiled happily, and the corners of his mouth suddenly split open. He completely ignored the blade that struck him, but touched Yuan Ying's body in front of him with great excitement, and said obsessively:

"Hahaha, I found it! I finally found it! Ahhh... It's not in vain that I spent so much energy, I finally found you!"

"The last piece of the puzzle for my... dream of greatness!"
