Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 474 Newspaper Released
……

The original world, the Sin Blood Star.

Under a sky that seemed to be oozing blood, the playwright lay quietly in a rocking chair, with one hand resting his head on his head and the other hand holding up an old book whose cover he could not see, flipping through it patiently.

"Ahaha! My dear playwright, your best old friend is back again? Have you found a new hobby after not seeing you for seven days?"

An unusually frivolous whistle was heard, and a black shadow was seen falling from the bloody sky. Finally, when it was about to hit the ground, it suddenly stopped in mid-air and greeted the playwright in front of it while hanging upside down.

"I'm just trying to understand the detailed history of this world through the little things left behind by the people of this world, and to accumulate some materials."

The playwright lying in the rocking chair answered calmly, glanced at the black shadow swaying in front of him, and said indifferently:
"So, you've finished your work?"

"Of course! My dear friend, didn't I tell you that the person I found this time is the legendary one? How could such a big shot break his promise to a small character like me?"

The black shadow continued in that frivolous tone, shrugged his shoulders, looked playful, and clapped his hands. Suddenly, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the shadow he cast on the ground.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You also played a role in its growth, so you should see it with your own eyes!"

The shadow said, pointing to the dark shadow on the ground who was meditating with his eyes closed. Upon hearing this, the playwright glanced in the direction the other party pointed, and then...

Zheng——! !

An extremely sharp cold light flashed instantly, and the dark shadow sitting on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, and the ground beneath it was instantly cut into grid-like fragments of uniform size by the invisible sharp edge.

Seeing this, the playwright lowered his eyes slightly, and the invisible attacks that were rushing towards him were instantly frozen in front of him, turning into black cracks that were imperceptible to the naked eye and remained there.

"Are you sure this thing is for the new guy?"

The playwright looked at the dark shadow beside him and asked back.

"Well, I only asked him to teach it until it could master the 'real skills', but it seems that its understanding is a little too good, so it has learned a little more than I expected."

The black shadow hung upside down in the air, stroking his head as if stroking his chin, muttering, but then his mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile:

"But isn't this better? The stronger the final puzzle piece, the more valuable the 'great cause' achieved in the end will be! Haha, that's right! This is more interesting, isn't it? Haha, hahahaha!"

As the black shadow spoke, he couldn't help but laugh crazily, his whole body swaying in the air like a swing.

Upon hearing this, the playwright glanced at Yuan Ying, who was still in a meditative state, and said nothing more, turning directly to another topic:
"We have already prepared everything you said. However, are you so sure that the newcomer will come to this planet? Don't forget that Meimu is standing behind him. Although he can't predict your future, he knows my whereabouts very well."

"NoNoNo~! My dear old friend, you still don't really understand the meaning of what I said. After all, you have accumulated too little experience~!"

Hearing the playwright's question, the black shadow stretched out a finger, shook it twice, and revealed a chilling smile:
"It doesn't matter where he is, whether it's this world or that world, or even if he chooses to escape, because..."

"When the real test comes, none of this will matter~!"

"That's right, that's right! Haha, hahahaha! Come on, come on! Choose, decide, no matter what decision you make, it doesn't matter!"

"after all--"

"As long as the destination is still there, then all of these will only turn into firewood that makes the flame of that great cause burn even more vigorously! Haha, hahahahahaha!"

……

Sanctuary Paradise, Lailai Religion.

On the training ground, hearty laughter continued to echo. Xin Lailai looked at the ceiling of the training ground in front of him. He had never felt that this place was so pleasing to the eye.

[Tip: [Elf Assimilation] status has been released]

"Lai Lai, congratulations, now you have completely wiped out your shame, right?"

A soft white light flashed, and Ling Yuzi's figure appeared beside Xin Lailai. He looked at Xin Lailai lying on the ground and gave a knowing smile.

"Yeah, I always feel like after a fight like this, all of a sudden I feel like all the beatings I got here before were worth it."

When Xin Lailai heard Ling Yuzi's congratulations, she smiled, stretched out her hand and let the other party pull her up from the ground. Then she looked at the training ground which was gradually returning to its original state under the white light, her eyes full of emotion.

When he first came into contact with the White Night Contract, he even had a hard fight with the 18th level White Night Contract. Facing the 24th level White Night Contract, he could only use the Devil's Star Breaking Cannon to cheat. However, now he can defeat the 32nd level White Night Contract by himself without using any means of cheating!
——Although he knew very well that if he really met a contractor like this in reality, he would most likely not be able to defeat the opponent with just the methods he used.

After all, challenging the White Night Contract looks like real-life PVP, but in essence it is still a large-scale PVE in which the challenger challenges the big BOSS.

Even though he appeared to be methodical in the battle, that was because he had already mastered Bai Ye's projection's moves and various variations.

Simply put, he already knew everything about Bai Ye's projection, but Bai Ye's projection, which was generated instantly by the training ground device, had no idea what his methods were.

It can be said that from the very beginning, the battle between him and Bai Ye's projection was not a fair one, but then again, you have to know that his main ability has always been in magic. Under such circumstances, asking him to fight a fair battle with a destroyer of magic is really crazy.

"But, didn't you expect that the active effects provided by soul weapons would be so useful?"

Xin Lailai glanced at the wound on her body that had long since healed, looked at the prompt message at the edge of her vision, and her eyes moved slightly.

……

[Spiritual Weapon Shield: LV.MAX]

...

...

*Active form: Unleash the power of the soul shield, increase the body's defense value by 4% within 40 seconds, reduce all soul damage received during this period by 400 points, and increase the soul-slashing resistance to 0.8 points. 】

……

In fact, he had even prepared himself to be put on the verge of death by the final fatal blow from Bai Ye's projection, but he didn't expect that after using the active effect of [Soul Shield], he would be much more resistant than he thought, and the fatal blow only took away a quarter of his health bar.

This immediately raised the value of the Soul Shield in his mind by several levels. Xin Lailai had even made up his mind to prioritize the level of Soul Weapon Science in the short term, and strive to be the first to upgrade Soul Weapon Science to LV.10 and master more methods to enhance the strength of Soul Soldiers.

"Hmm? Lailai, come and take a look. After winning the level 32 White Night Contract, there seems to be something new on it!"

Suddenly, Ling Yuzi's voice was heard. He was seen standing in front of the terminal, shouting at Xin Lailai who was standing there recalling the battle just now.

Something new? Could it be possible to challenge the next level of White Night Contract directly?
Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai quickly walked to Ling Yuzi's side and looked at the content on the terminal as he pointed:

[It is detected that the challenger has successfully challenged the maximum difficulty level of the current contract. Do you agree to record the challenger's data in this simulation action? ]

[Tip: This data will be sealed in the academic sect database at the highest confidentiality level and will only be used for experiments and function development purposes. If the challenger agrees to record it, as compensation, when a new version of this simulation action is developed in the future, you will be invited to experience it first! ]

Does this mean... you're planning to use his data for analysis?

Xin Lailai looked at the content displayed on the screen, was stunned at first, then nodded slightly, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

That's right, if he were the developer of White Night Simulation, he would definitely set up such a link after someone completed the highest level White Night Contract, just like when the game was being developed, the official would constantly collect player data for challenges.

The White Night Contract has been developed to the current version 13.0. Obviously, it is impossible for a developer to just test a few pieces of data. In the process, it must be supported by a large number of challengers' data results to develop it step by step to today's version. So, after a simple consideration of two seconds, Xin Lailai made a decision directly.

[Confirmation completed, data upload started. Thank you for your assistance. I hope you will have a better experience in future simulation operations! ]

If it were other organizations or forces, they might have to worry about data leaks or something, but since the White Night Simulation project was developed by an academic sect, there is naturally nothing to worry about.

Rather, Xin Lailai actually hoped that there would be some data accident or something, so that according to the regulations of the academic sect, he would immediately receive compensation, and the amount of compensation would definitely satisfy him.

"In this way, the last remaining regret has been successfully resolved."

After uploading the data, Xin Lailai looked at the extremely eye-catching challenge record on the terminal, and a smile flashed across his face:
[Challenger: Black Sword, Rank: Second Level, Difficulty Level: Level 32, Battle Duration: 1'07＂58, Challenge Result: Success]

I wonder how the person who is in charge of the deceased will react after seeing this record?
[Ding~! You have a new message reminder, from: Yamu]

A message from Yamu? He probably hasn't... Wait! Damn, he was so busy upgrading and signing contracts that he forgot about this!
Xin Lailai was stunned when he saw the prompt that suddenly popped up in front of him. Then he immediately remembered what he had forgotten. He quickly opened the communication channel and communicated with Yamu:

……

Yamu: "How long are you going to wait? There are only ten minutes left before the new issue of the newspaper goes on sale. Are you planning to ask me to convince those old guys to postpone the release of this issue of Paradise Express just for you?!"

Black Sword: "Sorry, sorry! I was too busy with the White Night contract. I'll be there soon!"

Yamu: "You're playing that thing? No wonder, that thing is really intoxicating, stop talking nonsense, come here quickly, I've been waiting here for almost half an hour!"

Black Sword: "Right away!"

……

——It was not until now that he suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Yamu that he would specially intrude into the live interview of Black Sword as a performer!

……

Sanctuary paradise, golden avenue.

"Give me one!" I want one too!

"Me too!" "I'll take the whole stack!"

On the magnificent streets, impatient shouts were heard. Next to a building shaped like a clock tower, thousands of employees and contractors lined up in a long queue, crowding and clamoring with each other, scrambling to grab the stacks of newspapers that were brought to the counter.

"Hahaha! I got it! Hurry, hurry, find a deserted place to sit down and watch!"

Suddenly, an excited shout rang out from the crowd, and a red-haired figure was seen excitedly grabbing four newspapers, squeezing out of the crowd with difficulty, rushing to his companions standing on the periphery, and hurriedly speaking to his companions.

"Really? You're a little too anxious, aren't you? It's just a newspaper. Is there any need to get so excited?"

Feng Huo looked at Motian who was excited in front of him, took the newspaper helplessly and complained.

"What do you know? This time the newspaper broke the news that there will probably be a live interview with Black Sword Boss, and it is said that Miss Xin Lai'er will be invited as a guest. I have already missed Miss Xin Lai'er's live performance, so I absolutely cannot miss this live interview again!!"

When Motian heard Fenghuo's complaints, he raised his eyebrows and spoke righteously, which made Gundanquanfa and Yanyu on the side smile helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This guy is just like that. Feng Huo, you should have known this a long time ago."

"Yeah, I still remember the look on his face when he found out in the Jujutsu World that he had missed Ms. Shinrai's live broadcast and he wanted to resurrect Sukuna and eat him alive."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, both of you. Hurry up and read the newspaper. The live broadcast is about to start!"

Motian urged, and after randomly finding an empty seat on the side of the road and sitting down, he was the first to open the newspaper, skillfully paid an extra paradise point to unlock the corresponding section, and eagerly looked at the front of the newspaper:
"The God of Death is alive, the legendary newcomer Black Sword kills a large number of violators in the world of Hellsing!"

《Destroying the heavens and the earth, the power of diplomacy is so terrifying! 》

《Shock! Black Sword is collaborating with the performer in the Hellsing world. What is going on?》

As soon as you open the newspaper, the first thing that catches your eye is the headline that is as always full of traffic code.

At the same time, if you look towards the video area, you can see that the video section is first pitch black, and then it is suddenly covered by a fire that seems to overflow the screen. Then the view is perfectly zoomed in on a black-haired figure walking out of the fire, and finally pauses there, as if to attract people to click in and take a look.

As expected, the comment section below the video exploded instantly:

……

Bai Cao: "What the hell! What the hell is this? The Inheritor of the Arcane Eternal is fighting the Black Sword?!"

Hunter Z: "Oh my god, this is too visually stunning, isn't it? Is this a fight between mages? It's really exciting!"

Yuan: "Let me correct you. Don't confuse the two monsters in the video with our normal wizards. We can't do it like a mobile wizard tower to release large-scale magic that is one or even two levels higher than our own!"

Cold Blade: "Indeed, I always thought that the performances in the past few videos were exaggerated. Today, I realized that Black Sword was really exaggerating in the Overlord world! This is not magic at all, it feels like a nuclear bomb washing the ground!"

Lan Zhanxing: "Fuck, stop staring at that little collision in front, hurry up and get to the back, there's some explosive stuff!"

Dark Angel: "How explosive can this be? Could it possibly bring down a high-ranking boss... Holy shit! What the hell is this?"

Hunter Z: "The Scarlet Lord... Isn't this something written in history books? I remember this thing being the most powerful boss? How dare it appear here?!"

Xiao Xiao Yi: "Um... I think what we should really focus on is that Black Sword Boss killed Him, right?"

Hunter Z: “…”

Yuan:"……"

Bai Cao: “…”

Han Ren: "I have a feeling that this issue of the newspaper will definitely sell well, and may even become a collector's item."

Dark Angel: "Don't have a premonition. The newsstand here is almost full. Luckily I got there early, otherwise I would have to squeeze in with them."

Huo Liu: "Come to think of it, didn't they say that there would be a live interview with Black Sword in the lower-level section of the newspaper this time? Why haven't I seen it yet?"

Lan Zhanxing: "Maybe we need to wait a little longer. After all, we have to give everyone a few minutes to read the newspaper... Oh my god, it's open!!"

As a new word was spoken in the comment section, a switch icon suddenly appeared on the edge of the video bar. When the person holding the newspaper focused on the icon, the scene in front of him immediately began to change:
"Good morning, dear audience friends. It is my honor to participate in this interview program. Thank you for your support of Paradise Express. I am the host of this program, Yamu. This time I will bring you the first-hand interview materials of the legendary newcomer Black Sword."

An infectious male voice came from the screen. At a glance, a blond young man could be seen looking behind him with a smile. He took a step forward, revealing the figure of the black-haired young man sitting on the sofa who was blocked by him.

No extra explanation or clarification is needed.

The contractors and workers who were watching the live broadcast knew the identity of the black-haired young man the moment they saw him:
The most eye-catching legendary outer-level contractor of the second level - Black Sword.
