Goddess of Love and Girls.
She was one of the new gods that became very active in the recent several hundred years in Puluo World. Because the former Goddess of Love had fallen, she was currently fighting against a depraved and sex-crazed goddess for the orthodox Goddess of Love’s divine portfolios and domains.
Her strength was very weak. She only had a low divine rank and weak divine force. If it wasn’t for her identity of being the daughter of the previous Goddess of Love, she would have long since been devoured by the other gods who were eyeing her covetously.
Even in the Puluo World, her believers were limited in number. Thus this time around, the fusion with Earth caused her ambition to stir. She wanted to get a huge part of the pie in advance and even directly inherit her mother’s divine portfolios and rank.
This was the impression Xu Nan had after searching through the memories in his bloodline.
“What? Only a god with a weak divine force…”
Xu Nan speechlessly spoke, “Living aside this strange name, Goddess of Love and Girls, isn’t the sudden divine grace too nonsensical? Why would she choose me? Could it be because I caused huge amounts of ‘damage’ to couples and this attracted her attention? She must have realized that I’m a talent after that?”
He contemplated and felt that his conjecture was logical.
However, after that, he decisively chose to reject it!
What a joke, only fools with pig brains would choose to become a supporter of a weak god now, right?
Even if the divine grace was real and could allow him to become a demigod in one breath, he deeply doubted that the Goddess of Love and Girls would do this.
Xu Nan had no interest in the gods. He also didn’t have faith. Being someone’s lackey would cause a huge contradiction in the depths of his heart.
This was the reason why Xu Nan felt less fondness for Zhang Yingluo now. Ever since he knew that she was a templar knight of the God of Truth, he suddenly felt that she was extremely dull.
In the bloodline memories of Ron Warlocks, gods in the Puluo World weren’t any sort of existence that deserved to be looked up upon in admiration. Quite a few Ron Warlocks could even seat equally with the gods!
…
“I think it’s better to resolve the problems of those authority dogs* in the alchemy center.”
After rejecting the divine grace, Xu Nan started to feel a headache.
The Lost Paradise’s alchemy center continued to send him invitations, just like spam emails. There was basically no way to reject them.
If they blacklisted his name, he might directly end up being harmed by them the next time he entered Lost Paradise.
The bloodlines of Ron Warlocks were just bloodlines. But the system, the full name was ‘bloodline maturity guidance system’, was something Ron Warlock experts had designed to guide the growth of the juniors.
From theory, the Ron Warlocks in the headquarters of Lost Paradise had the qualifications to remove the system rights of warlocks who had broken the rules severely. And warlocks with their system rights removed could depend on their own method to awaken their bloodline, but the degree of danger was much higher.
Also, they wouldn’t be able to receive any support from Lost Paradise.
In history, a few warlocks had their system rights removed, and most of their endings weren’t too good.
However, Xu Nan knew that the alchemy center of Lost Paradise couldn’t represent the will of the Lost Paradise’s headquarters. If those at the headquarters were the leaders, these fellows sending him spam emails would just be the administrators.
“Ai, being under the roof of someone…I have no choice but to bow my head!”
Xu Nan ultimately still chose to compromise. No matter what, he would pay a visit to the alchemy center first and do his best to retain his profits. For this ‘accident’, they most probably hadn’t expected Xu Nan to be capable of earning so many activity points in one breath!
After agreeing to the alchemy center’s request, a golden teleportation gate appeared before Xu Nan.
Xu Nan stepped into it.
A mysterious feeling enveloped his body.
“Welcome to the alchemy center of Lost Paradise!”
At the next second, a floating airship for one-person appeared. The doors opened and Xu Nan sat in it.
The airship instantly rose into the air.
At that instant, Xu Nan saw the countless scenes surrounding the alchemy center. He saw tall titans executing tasks; he saw powerful Ron Warlocks casting spells of such power that they were capable of shattering half the plane; he even saw the scene of some Ron Warlocks practicing alchemy. Many people were busy with their tasks.
Countless orbit cars were going around the seemingly unreal plane at high speed.
This was completely different from the backward alchemy center Xu Nan had imagined.
This was like a science-fiction world from the future.
The speed of the airship was simply too fast. Given Xu Nan’s current constitution, if he stared outside for too long, he would feel his eyes aching.
“The seventh alchemy center reception area.”
The airship slowly stopped.
Xu Nan got down from the airship, and there was already an apprentice-like figure here waiting eagerly for him. “Are you Mister Xu Nan? We are truly embarrassed. This incident was caused because our alchemy center didn’t prepare well enough. We didn’t expect someone to be able to get so many lottery chances. The two leaders have been waiting for you inside, and they also feel very embarrassed that such a thing happened. We hope you could forgive us.”
This apprentice was pretty easy to talk to.
Xu Nan nodded. At the very least, these people didn’t directly use their scope of authority to suppress him the moment he came.
The reception area was quite spacious. When Xu Nan entered, two alchemists wearing white were currently discussing in a low voice.
“We can forget about the bat teeth and bat guano, but we have to get the other treasures back! We can give the alchemical blueprints to him. In any case, we copied them from elsewhere, and there’s no such things as intellectual property rights. As for the gemstones and precious metals, we have to do our best to exchange for them. Oh, and there are also plenty of magical equipment.”
When the two of them saw Xu Nan entering, they coughed and stopped their discussion.
Xu Nan’s expression had a look of surprise.
These two alchemists purposely staged the conversation for him to listen to, right?
When he had been playing the lottery, he had felt that he had overdone it. The rewards for the later draws were all things like great demon hearts, devil hands, ancient god’s broken finger, and other oddities.
As for the storage warehouse with magical equipment, precious metals, and gemstones, there was no need to mention anything about them.
These oddities would even cause legends to be greatly tempted.
Xu Nan was just a stage-one warlock. By having these items, he was in danger. His line of thought was that he could return a portion of the oddities, magical equipment, and gemstones. But from the conversation these two had had earlier, it was as though they were planning to take back all of them!
Xu Nan was naturally unwilling!
After exchanging conventional greetings, the two of them politely welcomed Xu Nan to take a seat. Xu Nan had a look of innocence. “Did I do something wrong?”
The two of them exchanged a glance and coughed. “The seventh alchemy center is responsible for the material rewards portion for first-stage warlocks. Truthfully speaking, the number of points Mister Xu Nan earned is unprecedented. It has severely exceeded our preparation of materials…”
“In that case, the fault lies with you guys, as you all have not prepared enough materials for the rewards.” Xu Nan interjected.
The two of them embarrassedly continued, “You can put it like that, but in the past, there was no one who could…”
“What does it have to do with the past?” Xu Nan smiled. “I didn’t break the rules or get the rewards through a loophole. I did everything following the system’s rules. From what I gathered, the two of you want to take back my rewards?”
The two of them directly shook their heads. “No, no, no. We don’t have such an intention. Mister Xu Nan didn’t break any rules indeed. We will try our best to use other methods to compensate you.”
Xu Nan smiled. “What methods?”
One of the alchemists probed, “Gold?”
Those gold produced from stone?
Xu Nan couldn’t control it and wanted to ridicule them. This bunch of warlocks was truly thick-skinned and shameless. Clearly, they had made a mistake at work, but they wanted others to pay for their mistakes.
He calmly replied, “If it’s compensation, we can forget about gold. However, mithril, adamantium, King’s Tears will all be accepted. Other rare metals or gemstones will be fine as well.”
The two alchemists widened their eyes. Xu Nan’s request had exceeded the boundaries of what they could give.
One must know that mithril and adamantium weren’t common metals. The vast majority of mithril mines had disappeared in the Puluo World due to the banishment of the arcanist empire. It was the same for adamantium. As for King’s Tears, Star’s Tears, etc…forget it. It was better to talk about mithril and adamantium!
Xu Nan was like a greedy lion opening its maw the moment he spoke. It caused them to feel that it was hard to deal with him.
“This matter has exceeded our authority scope.”
One of the aged alchemists sighed. “How about this, we won’t bully the weak. Let’s get the legend on shift duty today to make a judgment.”
The other alchemist frowned. “Mr. Romand is extremely busy fighting against an overlord of the 46th layer of the abyss. It isn’t too good to disturb his honor, right?”
At the next second, a bright and clear voice rang out.
“Who is the one calling my name?!”
A bright light flashed. A tall and muscular old man with a headful of white-hair, equipped with a staff, appeared from the void!
Although this old man looked very aged, he exuded a vigorous aura when he walked. The staff was held in his right hand. There was also a saber strapped to his left waist and a sword strapped to his right waist. His aura was extremely domineering.
“I, Pilsen, (Walt), pays my respect to the Day’s Radiance, the Protector of Lost Paradise, the Hunter of Divine Empire, the Terror of Abyss, the Controller of Purgatory, the Tenth Seat of the Astral Realm, the pride of the Giant Dragons…Mr. Exxon Romand!”
The two alchemists recited respectfully, causing Xu Nan to feel a headache when he heard it.
However, he heard the name at the end clearly.
Exxon Romand? Wasn’t that…
“It’s fine. There’s no need to bother with the trivialities.”
Romand’s voice was deep. He glanced at Xu Nan. “I already know about the matter. Just wait a moment.”
In the void, an uncontrolled surge of chaos energy drifted over!
A terrifying monster appeared. Romand instantly cast over ten legendary spells to freeze the surrounding timespace and its plane.
Through the amber-colored glass of the different planes
Xu Nan could see into the abyss. A disgusting and comical-looking creature rose from the ground. There were countless heads below its body!
Numerous faces with cold expressions glanced at the warlocks of Lost Paradise. They then shouted in unison, “Exxon!”
“I’ve found the secret to defeating you. A few days ago, I lost to you because I only have a single head. And you are most proficient in exploding heads! Now, I had looked for the witch on the 67th layer and transformed myself into a new form where I would have over ten thousand heads!”
“I’ll see what you can do to me, HAHAHAHA!”
Before the laughter faded…
Mr. Romand simply spoke, “Stupid!” After that, he took a step into the abyss, lifted the staff in his hand, and transformed into a million incarnations. In a short ten seconds, he exploded all the heads of this creature!
Xu Nan didn’t even see how he did it and the combat had ended.
When he returned from the abyss, there was a crystal ball in his hand. Inside the crystal ball, it was the comical-looking abyss overlord!
“How awesome…as expected of one of the three great legends of the Lost Paradise.”
The two alchemists were deeply moved.
The old mister calmly waved his hands and continued saying, “I roughly know what happened. Xu Nan, you can just return the ancient god broken finger and devil hand, and we’ll let this matter be concluded. As for the other items, you don’t have to return them. After all, this matter was a mistake by our Lost Paradise. There’s no reason for you to return them.”
The two alchemists widened their eyes when they heard that.
Xu Nan suddenly laughed in joy and roared happily.
“Senior is of noble character and unquestionable integrity!”
