Chapter 227 I'm Not Afraid of You! (Please Vote!)

[The magical artifact is naturally divine]

Divine mercy extends to humanity; all suffering blossoms like lotus flowers, and inner demons are transformed into sweet rain.

Under the divine radiance, all non-cultivators must submit.

Lin Hao could clearly sense a peaceful and serene power behind the door.

This power makes one want to kneel down involuntarily.

Lin Hao mobilized his divine sense to eliminate the interference of this force.

Meanwhile, a phantom figure appeared behind the captain.

The divine power was dispelled by this illusory figure.

No matter how Lin Hao looked at the figure behind the captain, it looked somewhat like his own.

"I'll go in first."

The divine power emanating from the area clearly exceeded what it had been when they left, so the captain decided to go in first and shield the enemy if there was any danger.

Lin Hao's divine sense had already seen the situation behind the door. There was no danger, so there was no need for him to rush in first.

As the captain and Lin Hao entered the secret room one after the other, the "Red Thread of Fate" floated quietly in mid-air. When one's gaze was focused on the "Red Thread of Fate," one could almost feel the enduring love.

They transformed into butterflies to accompany each other, she waited for her husband until she turned to stone, and the sound of her flute attracted the phoenix.
At first, the fantasy that Lin Hao saw was very touching, and it seemed to make people want to have a sweet love affair.

But as you watch, you see a rogue who steals a fairy's clothes and forces her into marriage, a scholar whose yang energy is so strong that his body gets hot and he becomes a ghost knight, and a rough hero who can't find a way out of studying medicine, who is naturally not good at being a stay-at-home dad.
What started as a sweet romance turned into a channel for watching the bizarre and unusual.

Sure enough, the matchmaker, who has never actually been in a relationship or married, is really pulling the red thread of fate haphazardly.

Lin Hao's consciousness quickly shifted away from the "Red Thread of Fate," but as his attention returned to his surroundings, he noticed that his captain was already in tears.

"My dear, I really miss you, I miss you so much."

As he spoke, the captain slowly opened his arms and gently embraced her.

There was nothing in front of the captain originally.

However, as the "Red Silk of Fate" shimmered with light, a phantom female figure appeared in front of the captain and slowly embraced him.

I miss you so much too.

"I'm so sorry about that day, I must have hurt you."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all in the past. So many years have passed, I've even forgotten what it felt like before I died. I'm just glad you're okay. It makes me sad to see you sad."

As she spoke, the illusory woman patted the captain's back.

The captain cried even louder.

This woman's state is very strange.

Under Lin Hao's divine perception, this woman was not a soul or consciousness, but rather seemed to be a pure emotion.

This emotion truly existed, and the thread of fate has preserved it within it.

Today, this emotion has been fully revealed to the outside world.

Lin Hao decided to let the captain vent his emotions. Although he didn't know much about the captain's story, he knew that the captain's soul had been tainted by the "lustful senator" for so many years, and the captain's women would definitely not have a good ending.
Lin Hao's gaze fell upon the "Red Silk of Marriage" arrangement.

When we left this secret room, the large computer-like machine that served as the "Budget Consultant" was running. Now, next to the "Red Thread of Fate," there is a round and crystal-clear abacus bead.

Lin Hao could clearly sense that this abacus bead had an inseparable connection with Hexie City.

Its cold feel seems to be trying to completely construct a precise, instructional calculation.

This abacus seems to be trying to distribute the resources needed by everyone in River City.
Fortunately, there is only one abacus bead here.

The mysterious runes on this abacus do not actually possess such powerful computing capabilities.

Moreover, as the red thread of fate began to emit a faint glow, the connection between this abacus and Hexie City gradually began to break, while the connection between the red thread of fate and this world began to strengthen.

Lin Hao projected his divine sense outwards and could feel that, whether they were sleeping on the street or on a bench, whether they were covered by blankets or bound in a tortoise shell, the power of the red thread of fate was attached to their souls.
This power is about giving, not taking.

May their souls, which have just been repaired by being struck by lightning, receive more ample nourishment and peace.

Under such observation, the merit filling Lin Hao's sea of ​​consciousness no longer boiled over.

Following the power of the red thread of fate, Lin Hao was able to sense the origin of every strand of merit within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Merit is another form of continuation of life force.

Merit is inherent in our nature; blessings are cultivated.

Merit is gained nothing, but blessings are gained.

Lin Hao, the young master of the Remnant Elixir, has gained some understanding of merit.

Within the sea of ​​divine thoughts, all merits converged and condensed towards the very center of the sea of ​​divine thoughts, extracting a wisp of Lin Hao's divine essence.

Within Lin Hao's sea of ​​consciousness, a "merit statue" of himself appeared.

At the moment the "Statue of Merit" was condensed, Lin Hao felt a sense of clarity that was even greater than during his first cultivation session.

Those who perform great deeds will have great fortune.

[Lin Hao, the Remnant Ancestor, Completes the Heavenly Dao of the Tribulation]

Lin Hao, the Remnant Ancestor, Saves All Living Beings in a Realm

[Lin Hao, the Little Ancestor of Remnant Elixir, Condenses the Statue of Merit]

[The statue of the deity of merit can avert the three calamities and six tribulations. From now on, Lin Hao, the young ancestor of the Remnant Pill, can avoid natural disasters, earthly calamities, and man-made disasters, and can avoid the five tribulations of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the tribulations of inner demons.]

After the [Statue of Merit] was fully formed and opened its eyes, Lin Hao's connection with the "Thunder Tribulation Cloud" was completely severed.

Heavenly Tribulation should only occur when one is advancing in realms and undergoing tribulation. What's the point of it if it appears before one breaks through a major realm?

Thunder clouds, disperse!
Without Lin Hao's control, the statue of merit held his remaining pills in its hands, which were raised in a supporting posture.

Lin Hao's incomplete pill, which had not been tempered by heavenly lightning, was originally incomplete in terms of the five elements. However, under the support of the [Statue of Merit], Lin Hao felt that the incomplete pill was gradually becoming complete.

Perhaps, after some time, this incomplete pill, although it has not been tempered by heavenly lightning, can still become a complete golden pill!

Merit has the power to steal the heavens and change the world!
This is truly a wonderful thing. Lin Hao sensed that perfecting the incomplete pill would consume the merit power within the [Merit Statue]. When the merit power within the [Merit Statue] decreased to a certain level, the entire [Merit Statue] would collapse. Merit alone could not repair the naturally incomplete pill.

But as for accumulating merit, you can supplement your daily life with the "Impermanence Overtime Technique"!

There's absolutely no need to worry about the [Merit Statue] collapsing when replenishing the remaining pills.

The Great Way is within reach, the Great Way is within reach!

When Lin Hao first became a Remnant Core cultivator, he thought he had taken a wrong turn in his Golden Core cultivation and wondered if he could continue on the right track. But now, isn't he back on the right track?
Once the remaining pills are fully formed into the Golden Core and the magical power is abundant, one can attempt to break through to the next realm!

However, just as Lin Hao was thinking about how to prepare for his next breakthrough, the [Statue of Merit] moved again.
This time, the "ausage beads," which had been completely separated from Hexie City, were brought into Lin Hao's spiritual space.

Lin Hao, the young master of the Remnant Elixir, obtained the abacus beads of the Northern God of Wealth.

The abacus beads of the Northern God of Wealth have decided to bless the fortune of Lin Hao, the young ancestor of the Remnant Elixir Clan.

[Lin Hao, the young ancestor of the Remnant Pill, possesses immense wealth in the small world of the River Dust. The abacus beads of the Northern God of Wealth are only a part of the abacus and cannot be further enhanced.]

[The abacus beads of the God of Wealth on the North Road are meant to be perfect]

Hey, hey, hey!
How could they have swallowed the core of the "Budget Consultant" app?!

Although Lin Hao didn't quite understand the concept of "city foundation", he could tell from the fusion of his divine sense with the "Red Thread of Marriage" and the entire River City that the "Budget Advisor" could also serve as a "city foundation", so it must be very important. Now that he had taken away the "abacus beads" of his original body, it just didn't make sense!
Lin Hao wanted to retrieve the abacus beads of the Northern God of Wealth from his sea of ​​consciousness.

I lost
Lin Hao threw the abacus beads of the God of Wealth of the North Road out of his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, the [Statue of Merit] instinctively moved slightly.

The abacus beads of the God of Wealth of the North Road re-entered Lin Hao's sea of ​​consciousness.

Lost, returned, lost, returned, lost.
Lin Hao wanted to keep the [Merit Statue] still, but he found that he couldn't force it to stay in place at all.

The [Statue of Merit] absorbed the [Bei Lu Cai Shen's Abacus Beads] back into its divine consciousness, which was entirely an instinct of "merit" that Lin Hao could not suppress.

Lin Hao's actions eventually attracted the attention of the captain standing to the side, causing him to temporarily abandon his tenderness with "emotion".

When the captain gave up on tenderness, the woman's phantom in front of him merged back into the "Red Silk of Fate".

This time, however, the captain showed no reluctance to part ways.

Because he could clearly sense that his lover was within the Red Thread of Fate, and the Red Thread of Fate had once again become the foundation of River City, which meant that as long as he was in River City, his lover would always be by his side.

Then there's no need to worry about the present moment.

The captain glanced at the abacus beads that kept "appearing." Although it was the first time the captain had seen the true form of the [Budget Advisor], he could easily tell what the abacus beads were from their aura.

Team leader: "Mr. Lin, what's wrong with the [budget consultant]?"

Lin Hao: "I don't know either. This [Budget Consultant] entity just has to stay close to me. I can't get rid of it even if I want to. Do you have any ideas?"

Captain: "To be honest, the [Budget Advisor] is a city foundation borrowed from Valve City. After we moved the [Budget Advisor] to River City, we didn't conduct any research on the original body except for normal use. The [Budget Advisor] itself is not a complete city foundation. Putting aside the issue of compensation if it is damaged during research, if this borrowed city foundation is damaged again, River City will collapse."

Lin Hao: "What do we do now? I can't put down these abacus beads!"

Captain: "Try throwing it a few more times, let me see."

Lin Hao: "Okay."

Lin Hao tried throwing it a few more times, and the captain even tried opening the door a few times. After many attempts, Lin Hao and the captain confirmed that as long as it was within the "River City" area, the "Abacus" would return instantly no matter where the captain threw it after opening the door.

The door opens outside the city of Hexie, and once the abacus beads are thrown away, they will never come back.

The captain stroked his chin and said:
“Mr. Lin, your current situation is very similar to the situation described by the City Alliance regarding integration with City Foundation, but your inability to use the Budget Consultant does not quite align with the City Alliance’s research findings.”

However, I just tested it. As long as this abacus bead is thrown outside of River City, it won't return to you. So, once the city awakens and returns to normal order, I'll have Xiyu return the abacus bead to Vale City.

Oh ho, borrowed items must be returned after you retrieve your [City Foundation] in River City!
Although Xi Yu holds a pivotal position within the urban management brigade and is being groomed by the captain as his successor, her daily work...
It's the same whether he's there or not.

After thinking it over, Lin Hao said:

"I'd like to go with Xiyu to see what's going on and figure out what's really going on."

The captain looked troubled, thought for a moment, and then tried to express himself tactfully:

"Mr. Lin, it's like this, the core of the [Budget Consultant] is located in Valve City, and I personally have a concern. I mean, what if..."
What if, after you arrive at the lottery market, the [Budget Consultant]'s true form sticks right next to you and won't leave?

It's normal for the captain to have such concerns.

If Lin Hao "kidnaps" the foundation of Valiant City, then Lin Hao's importance to Valiant City will be no less than that of the "Lustful Councilor" to River City.

But Lin Hao also needed to figure out why the [Statue of Merit] was in this state.

But considering the captain's concerns, Lin Hao stroked the milk tea cup—

"One breath transforms into two pure forms."

Another Lin Hao appeared in front of the captain.

Captain: Unbelievable. He even has the ability to create clones. What type of power does Mr. Lin possess? How can it be so multifaceted?
The clone spoke up, "My physical body isn't capable of attracting the power of the [Budget Consultant]. When I can go to the market with Xiyu, I'll go with her too."

The main body replied, "If I really don't understand the principle, then to avoid any misunderstandings in the future, I'll just not go to the lottery market."

The team leader thanked Lin Hao for his understanding.

For a city administrator, the city's foundation is of utmost importance!

The fact that River City was able to borrow a portion of the city foundation from Valve City was truly due to a great deal of effort and favors.

If Lin Hao goes to the market, the city's foundation will be to get close to Lin Hao. Wouldn't that put Mr. Lin in an unjust position?
Moreover, according to the captain's observation, Lin Hao is a very easy person to talk to.

If Lin Hao can't resolve the issue of the [Budget Consultant] insisting on staying close to him, and the [Budget Consultant] can't leave the market...
Then a result will inevitably occur.

Chairman Lin Hao looks forward to the market.

Now that we've encountered such a powerful figure, how can we simply hand him over?
Although it is foreseeable that Lin Hao will not make Hexie City his long-term residence, the relationship between the two sides needs to be strengthened!
And the way to strengthen connections is through emotions!
Thinking of this, the captain waved his hand, and the "Red Silk of Marriage" was tied around his wrist.

Then, the captain walked outside and came to the place where Xi Yu was lying down and fast asleep.

"Wake up, wake up!"

At the captain's call, Xi Yu suddenly opened her eyes, her inner strength naturally radiating outwards.
"Come on! I'm not afraid of you! Go ahead and kill me with your sword!"
