Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 456: Xin Lailai walks into a trap

……

The Void, the territory of the demons.

"So, my dear old friend, now you understand how terrible my experience is... eh?"

In the luxurious box, the black figure who was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed and talking eloquently suddenly paused in the middle of his speech and glanced behind his head with some confusion.

"What's wrong again? Don't tell me you dropped your brain outside the astral plane."

The playwright who was tasting fine wine glanced at the black shadow who suddenly stopped and made a sarcastic remark.

"No, nothing. It's just that someone just disturbed the little guy's karma a little bit."

The shadow turned around and said with a smile. Upon hearing this, the playwright's eyes moved slightly and he said:

"If I'm not mistaken, it was that guy named Meimu who did it, right?"

"You guessed it so quickly? Haha, you are worthy of being my close friend~!"

"There are only a few people in the void who have the ability to mess with cause and effect. What's more, that newcomer is originally a member of his sect. You have brought such a big cause and effect upon yourself this time. It would be wrong for that guy not to take action."

"If I'm not mistaken, that idiot who believes in perfectionism and optimal solutions should have pulled the newcomer over and reminded him that he should prioritize saving his life in the next world, right?"

"Bingo~! As expected of my old friend, you gave the perfect answer. Could it be that you and I have reached a level of telepathy? Ah~ This is so touching~!"

The black shadow put one hand on his chest and opened the other, and spoke in an extremely moved tone. The playwright unconsciously tightened his grip on the wine bottle a little, as if he was disgusted by the black shadow's words.

"I'm not interested in the things in your mind, but I know the character of that bastard Meimu better than you do, so I advise you that if you don't have a backup plan, you'd better be prepared for a failure this time. That bastard will never let you get what you want so easily."

The playwright glanced at the black shadow and said calmly, but the black shadow did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead showed a playful smile:

"It's okay, my old friend. You still don't understand. It doesn't matter who comes, no matter what their purpose is. Even if it's completely contrary to our purpose, it doesn't matter at all~!"

"Because no matter what they plan to do, it can't change the greatness of the great cause itself. In fact, it will only make this great cause more important and more refreshing!"

"After all, great deeds and miracles are just such a thing!"

The black shadow laughed crazily with a chilling voice, his eyes full of excitement:

“So~ now I’m actually looking forward to it more than before, haha…hahahaha!”

……

Sanctuary Paradise, the headquarters of the Lailai Cult.

Om-! !

A shrill buzzing sound echoed in Xin Lailai's head. Xin Lailai opened his eyes, covered his forehead, stood up from the ground, shook his head, felt the intense pain in his brain, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss~! Isn't the side effect of Boss Meimu's dream-entering method too strong? It feels like it's almost as good as long-distance teleportation."

"Lai Lai, why don't you meditate first?"

Ling Yuzi, who was also suffering from the aftereffects of falling asleep and had a buzzing head, suggested this. His whole body gave people a feeling of being drunk and kept shaking.

"There's no other way. Let's just take it easy here first."

Xin Lailai rubbed his forehead, nodded, forced himself to close his eyes, entered a meditative state, and tried hard to calm the shock in his spiritual world so that he could get rid of the aftereffects of falling asleep as soon as possible.

[Tip: The psychic realm has been opened]

[Hint: Entered a deep meditation state]

As the two sat down, a cold reminder sound accompanied by a cool touch spread from their minds, quickly calming the turmoil in their spiritual world.

[Tip: Mental resistance has been permanently increased by 3 points]

"Huh... I finally recovered. The aftereffects were really strong."

A few minutes later, Xin Lailai opened his eyes, glanced at the prompt of increased mental resistance at the edge of his vision, took a long breath, rubbed his temples gently, and the content of the conversation with Meimu in the dream world flashed through his mind, and a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

"We will die in the next world... This is really not happy news at all."

Xin Lailai sighed helplessly, laughed, shook her head, stood up from the ground, dusted herself off, glanced at the two names in the family column on the communication channel, and her gaze gradually became firm.

"Come on, Ling Yuzi, it's time to do what we should do."

"Ah."

Ling Yuzi nodded slightly, held Xin Lailai's hand, and followed her out the door. His scarlet pupils were also full of determination.

……

A few hours later, at the Sun Hotel.

"Boss Black Sword, the inventory has been completed. The total amount of this batch of goods is 79632954 Paradise Points. According to the instructions left by the team leader, I will directly give you 8000 Paradise Points. Here is the bill. Do you have any questions?"

In a private room, a pretty young worker stood in front of a small mountain of treasure chests, equipment, and props. She looked at the black-haired young man in front of her respectfully, handed him a bill with the emblems of the three religious orders, and sent the electronic version to his brand for easy reference and comparison:
……

【Account comparison】

1. Green treasure box*500 pieces

Main output: E-level zombie blood...

Estimated total price: 2602354 park points
2. Blue treasure box*1500 pieces

Main output: D-level zombie bloodline, biological armor, fist and claw weapons...

Estimated total price: 24869486 park points
3. Purple treasure chest*1000 pieces

Main output: special zombie bloodline (potential D+ level), purple quality materials...

Estimated total price: 30645642 park points
4. Dark purple…

……

"Yes, no problem. Thank you for your hard work. Please give my regards to Chijia and the others when they come back."

After quickly scanning the contents of the bill, Xin Lailai nodded slightly, showed a gentle smile, and said to the young worker in front of him.

This time, because he came back from the Hellsing world too quickly, Chijia and others had not yet returned from the world. However, because he had informed Chijia in advance before entering the Hellsing world and asked the other party to prepare enough funds, he was still able to sell the treasure chests and other materials he did not need from the Hellsing world extremely smoothly.

He even found a perfect excuse for the part of the treasure chest that theoretically should have belonged to the performer, and attributed it to the reward received when killing the performer, so that no one would doubt the origin of the goods.

"Boss Black Sword, you are too polite. We should be the ones thanking you for your care!"

The red-haired worker girl who was specially trained by the Burning Gold Cult to handle the financial and resource allocation issues of the Burning Gold Cult while others entered the world answered with a smile, looking at Xin Lailai with a touch of admiration.

She had long heard the legend about the other party from other people in the group, and after witnessing the other party in person today and seeing the scene in her own group leader's words of moving treasure chests like moving bricks, the worker girl's admiration for the other party reached an unprecedented level.

[Tip: Employee Huo Lulu has transferred Paradise Points*80000000 to you]

"Well... well, Boss Black Sword, would you like to stay for dinner or something?"

"No, I still have things to do, so I'll leave today." The red-haired worker girl who had completed the transaction looked at the heroic black-haired young man in front of her, her cheeks slightly red. She mustered up the courage to invite the other party, but the black-haired young man just shook his head with a smile, politely declined the girl's invitation and left directly, making the girl lower her head a little disappointed.

……

The headquarters of the Lai Lai Cult.

[Prompt: Transmission completed, arrived at Lailai Cult headquarters]

"Pfft, it seems like you're becoming more and more popular, Lailai. Any two girls you meet seem to be eyeing you, huh?"

"It was you who insisted on holding back your aura, Ling Yuzi. What does that have to do with me?"

In the corridor, Xin Lailai complained in his mind with a helpless expression, refuting the girl's teasing.

Ever since he raised his charm attribute to 80 points, as long as he used his breath control to completely restrain his own pressure, basically as long as he dared to walk on the street with the appearance of Black Sword, he would definitely be approached by female employees or contractors.

From another perspective, this was actually a disguised affirmation of the results of his marketing of the Black Sword name. In fact, normally, just a little bit of pressure was enough to scare away most people, and there was no need to worry about any impact on daily life.

But when Ling Yuzi was controlling his body, he particularly liked to restrain his pressure, deliberately watching one employee or contractor girl after another muster up the courage to shout out, and then admiring the other party's lost little expression when they were rejected.

"Really, Ling Yuzi, who on earth did you learn this evil taste from?"

"Hmm... Lailai, don't you think it's fun to bully them like this? And it can also help establish Black Sword's innocent character, right?"

"…Forget it, as long as you are happy."

Not knowing how to refute, Xin Lailai gently rubbed the corners of his eyes, sighed, gave up struggling, pushed open the door in front of him, looked at Qing Weilai who was sitting behind the counter with his head down busy with something, and said to him respectfully:

"Miss Qing Weiliao?"

"Everything is there, check it yourself to see if there are any problems."

Qing Weile said, freeing one hand to point at the suitcase placed in the corner, and then continued to work on his own things with his head down.

"It's troublesome."

Xin Lailai nodded, walked quickly to the suitcase, opened it, quickly checked it, nodded, opened the branding interface, and paid a sum of paradise points to Qing Weilai.

[Reminder: Park points*30000000 have been paid to employee Qingwei]

[Tip: Soul crystal (large)*60 has been obtained]

A cold reminder sounded, Xin Lailai glanced at the 73 soul crystals (large) in the storage space and nodded with satisfaction.

With this batch of soul crystals (large), his gun master was finally able to be upgraded to LV.MAX. In this way, he truly possessed five master LV.MAX level techniques and truly reached the limit of what he could achieve in the second stage.

As for whether you need to master a new passive skill?
Doing so can indeed help him improve his strength, but to be honest the benefits are not that great. Not to mention the expense of developing another passive skill, his current system clearly does not have the conditions to support another skill.

You have to know that skills are not just about upgrading a passive skill. The corresponding active ability, a good main weapon, and various resource investments surrounding this skill are all huge limitations.

This is also the reason why Xin Lailai directly sold the [Puppet Master Scroll] he got from the box. Although it is cool to control the iron wires in the sky to cut the enemies, his main weapon and secondary weapon are all locked now. If he learns this kind of passive technique that requires a corresponding weapon to exert its power, he will be useless except for being handsome.

"Speaking of which, Lailai, will we encounter any strange phenomena again when we upgrade the Gun Master this time?"

In the soul space, Ling Yuzi asked curiously.

"This... is really hard to say. Logically speaking, we don't have a deep understanding of firearms, so we shouldn't encounter any strange phenomena, but to be honest..."

——But the park may give them special treatment.

Xin Lailai complained in his mind that when they were fighting masters before, Paradise had forced a vision on them, and in the end they gained huge benefits, directly mastering the ability of the [Weak Dominant Body] level, and clarifying the future development direction of the fighting masters.

And considering that the Gun Master's future job transfer direction is to become the Soul Master, who is extremely important to them, Paradise really doesn't think that they will be given another vision or something...

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much here. We'll know after the upgrade."

After daydreaming for a while, Xin Lailai shook his head and without further delay, thanked Qing Weilai who was standing beside him and activated the teleportation permission.

[Prompt: Teleportation is about to begin, destination: Skill Upgrade Hall]

……

Skill upgrade hall.

【Welcome to skill upgrade cabin No. 9533, please select the service content】

[Hint: Yes/No, pay Paradise Points*300w+Soul Crystal (Large)*70 to upgrade Gun Master LV.30? ]

"confirm."

In the skill upgrade cabin, Xin Lailai, who had completed all the preparations, sat on a chair covered with spell chips and pressed the confirmation button.

[Confirmed, upgrade begins...]

Snap, snap——!!

The next second, a large number of soul crystals shattered and turned into pure soul energy that poured into their bodies.

[Gun Master LV.31 Upgrade Successfully]

[Gun Master LV.32 Upgrade...]

The prompt sound of successful upgrade continued to sound. Xin Lailai looked at the slowly growing number at the edge of her vision, and her breathing couldn't help but become a little nervous.

Will there be any anomalies this time? Or is it just a normal upgrade...

Om-! !

A fluctuation in time and space appeared, making Xin Lailai look happy.

coming!

Xin Lailai, who was already familiar with the route, was not at all flustered. He immediately entered the elf assimilation state with Ling Yuzi, and waited calmly for the teleportation process.

The next second, the fluctuations of time and space spread, and the souls of the two people instantly disappeared from the spot, and Xin Lailai's vision also fell into a dizzying state.

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was an endless light blue space that was extremely similar to their soul space, but tens of millions times larger, and rich soul energy surging under their feet like an ocean.

This is... soul space? !

Xin Lailai quickly recognized the type of space in front of him, and his pupils shrank slightly. Looking at the boundless soul world in front of him, his breathing could not help but stagnate slightly, but then he realized something:
——The Paradise actually specially arranged a soul master to guide them? !
A strong feeling of joy rose in Xin Lailai's mind. He quickly looked around, trying to find the figure of the big boss arranged by the park, and then...

"Oh my~ I didn't expect to meet you two? Hehe~!"

A charming and charming laugh that Xin Lailai was very familiar with was heard, and a naked black-haired, purple-eyed girl made of soul energy came from a distance, with a playful smile on her charming face.

"..."

Instantly, the smile on Xin Lailai's face froze. He looked at Shan Xi in front of him, and only one word remained in his mind:

"grass!"
