Chapter 17
Beauty Trap
Lin Chang`an only felt that the pressure at this final chance was extremely great.
In the end, he had stimulated the dungeon exploration so many times, but his limit was still the outer perimeter.
[Simulation starts!]
[You entered the dungeon. The surroundings were pitch-black as though the area was enveloped by fog.]
[You immediately headed for the maze.]
[Half a day later, you arrived at the maze. The maze stretched endlessly in your vision and you started thinking about ways to pass through it.]
[“There are monsters guarding everywhere, so there should be no exception for this place as well.” This thought flashed in your mind, and you felt that you had found the correct direction.]
[You entered the maze with your right hand pressed against the wall as you explored the maze inch by inch.]
[This time, you discovered that the maze was moving.]
[It was like waves producing ripples. When your palm touched the wall, the icy sensation transformed into a feeling of softness. It felt like you were touching some sort of supple skin.]
[You suddenly realized that this maze seemed to be a human body!]
[At the instant of your shock, a faint shadow manifested before your eyes.]
[A pale figure dressed in red floated there. Her gauze skirt fluttered and her legs were extremely long. A red veil covered her face. She was a bride that was preparing to get married.]
[“Your figure is really good.” You sighed as you recalled a certain movie.]
[“Sir, can you help me remove my veil?”]
[You subconsciously wanted to stretch your hand out and remove it for her, but the 1.77x mental defense abruptly shook you awake. At the instant before your hand came in contact with the veil, you came to an abrupt stop.]
[You realized that this beautiful female ghost was none other than the monster for this stage.]
[At the same time, you also realized that because your demeanor had improved, the female ghost seemed to have fallen for you. This was because compared to the previous time you were here, other than the improvement to your demeanor, there were no other differences.]
[“The female ghost is also a simp?” You pondered.]
[You used a beauty trap.]
[You succeeded.]
Lin Chang`an was stunned.
He succeeded just like that? He simply didn’t dare to believe this!
The other two paths would directly lead to death, and he couldn’t even struggle.
But this path directly allowed him to pass through the maze?
However, it was a good thing no matter what.
[You passed through the maze.]
[In the depths of the dungeon, endless desolation and death stretched endlessly in your vision.]
[You kept heading deeper. There was no marker here to mark the distance, so you had no idea how far and how long you had traveled for. Very soon, you felt a strange fluctuation.]
[Your body seemed to resonate with it, and you felt that your physique was improving slowly by small amounts.]
[It felt like a beating heart.]
[You were incomparably joyful. However, the further you moved ahead, the stronger you felt your heart beating. Very soon, you realized you could no longer endure this.]
[You continuously tried probing your limits. Your heart was beating so fast that it felt like it wanted to leap out of your chest.]
[The deeper you went, the faster the improvement to your physique. However, you also felt increasingly unbearable.]
[You felt somewhat reluctant and saw that you were still far away from the furthest part, but you could only retreat.]
[You returned to the maze again and sacrificed your body once more.]
[You then smoothly returned to the fork in the road by returning from the maze.]
[You tried walking another path.]
[In the endless darkness, a dream eater appeared and plundered your brain marrow.]
[You died.]
Lin Chang`an woke up from the simulation and he exhaled lightly.
He had managed to obtain important information after paying a huge price in the simulation. That talent-modifying supreme treasure seemed to be that strange thing located in the core-most area.
But as to what exactly that was, he evidently had no way to get close to it with his current strength.
However, this time around, his harvests weren’t small.
“According to the previous simulations, I can stay there for five days and walk to the depths. Five days should be enough to greatly improve my talent.”
Lin Chang`an didn’t think about being a genius. He was already very happy if his talent could reach the level of ordinary people!
As long as he had ordinary talent, he would be able to obtain many more accomplishments in his simulation sessions. This indicated that he would have a ton more opportunities.
He wasn’t in a hurry to choose a reward.
He then looked at Chu Li. “Boss, can you lend me your interspatial ring to use for a while?”
Chu Li’s body unconsciously shrank back. She then touched a simple and unadorned ring on her index finger. “Do you know how much this cost?”
“One million?”
He didn’t know the exact price as this item was still too far away from him. He only knew the cost roughly.
The ring had an internal space within, and it could only be manufactured by people who had a certain comprehension of spatial laws.
In addition, the size of the inner space depended on the depth of the comprehension of spatial laws, as well as the artifact-refining method used.
Only powerful cultivators at the sixth-realm could gain insights into the spatial laws.
And for sixth-realm cultivators, everything they did casually would start from $1,000,000 at the very least.
“This is something personally manufactured by Mr. Cong!” Chu Li was extremely nervous as though she was worried that Lin Chang`an would snatch it.
“It’s not that I won’t give it back to you.”
“What if you died?”
“Inauspicious words…” Lin Chang`an was helpless. “Boss, I can’t possibly take many of the treasures inside away if I just use my two hands.”
Just that lump of blackiron alone wasn’t something ordinary people could move.
“But…” Chu Li felt very hesitant. She kept surveying Lin Chang`an and seemed worried no matter how one looked at her.
“I swear that I definitely won’t die.”
“I wouldn’t mind swearing that I can have eternal life.”
“How about this, I’ll give you a higher share. Let’s split things 50-50!” Lin Chang`an gritted his teeth.
“Deal!” Before the sound of his voice faded, a ring was already shoved in his face.
The smile on Chu Li’s face was like a blossoming flower. Her charming eyes revealed happiness and a smile from the bottom of her heart.
It seemed like she had long since been waiting for Lin Chang`an to say this.
Hence, Lin Chang`an rolled his eyes.
“You will soon reach the stage where you only have eyes for money.”
“That’s excellent then!” Chu Li’s eyes gleamed. “When will it happen?”
Lin Chang`an shrugged in contempt. After that, he opened the car door and got off, no longer delaying what he needed to do.
Since his talent would improve more the longer he stayed inside the dungeon, he naturally wanted to do things fast.
He lifted the hood of his sweatshirt before lowering the brim. His entire person was fully cloaked in that large sweatshirt, and he came to the place outside the ruined area. There were two guards currently on watch now.
“Outsiders are not permitted entry!”
Lin Chang`an then took out his pass.
The two took it and felt astonished the moment they glanced at it.
From the appearance of the pass, this guy seemed to be a young master.
But why would a young master come here to take such a risk?
This dungeon hadn’t been explored yet.
Its grade hadn’t been determined and the spatial turbulence hadn’t stopped. It was too dangerous.
However, someone seemed to recall something.
Could this be another attempt to artificially create a ‘heaven’s gift’?
A year ago in an A-Grade dungeon, someone discovered a stone with the words ‘The heavens are dead, only the yellow sky remain’.
Back then, it was rumored that the dungeon created this naturally, and it was an omen from heaven, which caused many people to panic.
After that, people discovered that someone had tossed it in when the dungeon was still in the process of forming.
It seemed like this young master whose features were obscured was planning on doing the same thing.
However, for a major matter like this, the two guards didn’t have the qualifications to participate.
“Please enter!”
One of them subconsciously used the term ‘please’. After that, both of them turned their heads away, not wanting to chat a sentence more.
They weren’t qualified to ask about a major matter like this.
