Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 536 Xin Lailai’s “Suggestion”

Save...Miss Aisi and the others?
Bell, who was lying on the ground, paused when he heard Xin Lailai's words, then sat up with a bang. He grabbed Xin Lailai's arm with some excitement and said in a lost voice:

"Brother Black Sword, you just said that there is still a way to rescue Miss Aisi and the others! Right?!"

"Well, that's about it. Also, Bell, you'd better sit down first. There's no need to be so excited. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

Xin Lailai nodded and said affirmatively. At the same time, looking at Bell Crany who was almost sticking to his face, he coughed lightly and gave a reminder.

"Sorry, I got a little too excited."

Following Xin Lailai's reminder, Bell Crane also realized that his behavior was a little too excited. He let go of his hand a little embarrassedly, sat back on the floor stiffly, and asked carefully:

"Um, Brother Black Sword, I want to confirm again, is what you just said... true?"

"Don't worry, since I said so, I naturally have the corresponding confidence. As for how to do this specifically..."

Xin Lailai paused for a moment, looked at Bell Craney, and then continued:
"Bell, do you know what this world really looks like?"

What does this world look like?
When Bell heard Xin Lailai's question, he instinctively planned to answer according to the appearance of the wrong world in his memory. However, he realized the next second that the "world" Xin Lailai mentioned did not refer to the world under their feet, but had another broader meaning. So he stood there for a while, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head.

Xin Lailai did not say much about this. He just condensed a magic chip at his fingertips, controlled it to slowly transform, and said:

"In fact, worlds like yours that are created based on a story have a unified name in our place, and that is the derived world. The world that gave birth to your stories is called the present world."

As Xin Lailai spoke, the magic chip in his hand suddenly split into two layers, and at the same time, the magic chip in the upper layer began to split continuously, forming hundreds and thousands of tiny chips, and connected to the magic chip in the lower layer through crystal threads as thick as a hair.

"As for the deep relationship between the derivative world and the real world, as well as the world outside these world layers, and the 'god' who governs us, it is rather troublesome to explain, so it is better for you to see it with your own eyes--"

As Xin Lailai spoke, wisps of soul energy suddenly flew out from the magic chip on her fingertips. These soul energies intertwined in mid-air and finally turned into a spell that could store soul information. Under Bell Crany's curious gaze, they quickly penetrated into the other's mind.

Om-! !

In an instant, a soul fluctuation with a not very intense frequency but extremely huge fluctuations spread out, and a huge amount of information rushed into Bell's mind under the influence of soul energy, causing him to stand still in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

The present world, the derivative world, the abyss...

Astral world, Void Tree, Paradise...

A large number of images emerged uncontrollably in Bell's mind. He 'watched' the images flashing before his eyes, 'listened' to the sounds in his mind, his eyes were first stunned, then shocked, then stunned, numb, and bewildered...

Nearly half an hour passed before Bell gradually came back to his senses from the information in his mind. He looked at Xin Lailai in front of him, swallowed twice, and his gaze towards Xin Lailai had changed greatly.

"Brother Black Sword, those..."

"Don't worry, everything you just saw is real, and you don't have to worry about whether there is anything wrong with this. If we can get out of here alive, Paradise will definitely recruit you. As for whether you can rescue Aisi and the others later, it depends on you."

Xin Lailai said this calmly, without any worry about whether there would be anything wrong with revealing the information about Paradise and the Void to Bell.

It would be fine if the other party fell into self-doubt and denial after learning the truth about the derivative world, but since the other party gave such an answer, it means that as long as the other party can leave the abyss erosion zone alive, it is basically a foregone conclusion that he will be recruited by Paradise.

In this case, as long as he doesn't reveal some pioneer-related matters directly to the other party, according to the style of the Sanctuary Paradise, there is a high probability that he will be given a verbal warning as a pioneer, and then find a reason to give him some authority rewards or something like that.

In the final analysis, in terms of nature, he helped the paradise to discover a talent who could walk out of the abyss erosion zone alive. If he had the support of an iron-faced and selfless camp like the Void Tree, it would be fine, and the result would most likely evolve into rewards and punishments, or at most a lenient sentence. But now he is working as a pioneer of the Sanctuary Paradise, and the attitude of the Sanctuary Paradise towards this kind of thing that belongs to the gray area of ​​judgment... It can only be said that if the moral bottom line of the six major paradises is ranked, the highest is Holy Light, the lowest is Reincarnation, and the most flexible is undoubtedly the Sanctuary Paradise.

This can even be seen from the additional functions of the special job imprints in each park. The same are additional functions, such as the various tracking and positioning functions added by the hunters of Samsara, and the various mineral detection and mineral identification effects added by the senior workers of Apocalypse. As for the pioneers of the Sanctuary... just like what he is using now, the pioneer's imprint is truly unique in terms of identity forgery.

As for what the fake identity is used for, that's something that each pioneer has to ask himself...

Simply put, with the style of the Sanctuary Paradise, as long as his actions ultimately bring positive benefits, then the minor transgressions in the process can basically be turned a blind eye. As for who taught these pioneers these things... it's better to know about this in your mind, it would be impolite to say it out loud.

After all, as a pioneer, who hasn’t been given loans or special treatment?

"In short, if you want to save Aisi and the others, the only way is to stay alive and enter Paradise. This way, you will have the opportunity to use the power of Paradise and your own value as a bargaining chip to apply for the Judge Assessment. This will allow Paradise to temporarily lock Aisi and the others' information, giving you a chance to 'redeem' those people and that wrong world in your memory."

Xin Lailai stared at Bell Crany in front of him and said seriously.

Even in paradise, it is not an easy task to resurrect the dead, but fortunately, the world on Earth is just a derivative world, and Ais and others are just characters in the derivative world. From a notarization level, there is a huge gap between them and people like him who were born in the real world. This can be said to have greatly reduced the difficulty of the operation.

Even if they were more relaxed, they could wait for Paradise to reset the world, and then Ais and the others would literally "come back to life". However, this approach was pure self-deception. Both he and Bell knew very well that the people who came back to life would not be the people the other knew, but just a homologue with the same memories and appearance.

The only way to truly revive the people that Bell knew was for Bell himself to apply to Paradise and take the initiative to participate in the assessment of the Judge. As long as he obtained the assessment qualification for the special job, according to Paradise's regulations, if the assessor was an 'awakener' born in the derivative world, the derivative world information related to him would be temporarily frozen and sealed, and would not be directly reset as regular information.

Not only that, according to the park's regulations on special occupations, once the assessor successfully passes the assessment of a special occupation, the information related to him/her will receive a deep level of notarization. Although this approach cannot make the people and things known by the other party unique, it can make them "different", and thus break away from the information of countless identical worlds, and be permanently stored in the park's information database as exclusive information of special occupations.

As long as this step can be achieved, the rest of the things will become much easier. After all, for Paradise, the world of Dicuo, people like Aisi and Ota, before they achieve self-awakening and obtain "uniqueness", are just derivative products that can be easily reset and created.

To put it more bluntly...it's a cheap thing that can be bought with money.

This is not a joke, but a real operation in the park. Although no one around Shinrai has done this, in fact, you can directly purchase characters from the derivative world in the park. The price is just a little bit expensive. As for how expensive it is... When he first gained the authority to control the derivative world in Demon Slayer World, he had worked out an option to revive Yoriichi Tsugakuni under the guidance of 04296, and the price...

Not to mention that it is basically impossible for anyone to pay that much money at the first level, just from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, doing so is a huge loss, because the derivative world characters obtained in this way can only exist as accessories, and do not have uniqueness and the possibility of further development.

Taking his situation in the Demon Slayer world as an example, if he had really chosen to resurrect Yoriichi Tsugakuni at that time, he could indeed immediately obtain a first-level swordsmanship master, but at the same time, he could only obtain a first-level swordsmanship master.

Unless he was willing to spend enough resources to force a contractor to the Grandmaster level 30 or above, otherwise, it would be impossible for the created Yoriichi Tsugikoku to make any further progress in his lifetime.

This is the flaw of directly bringing characters from derivative worlds into Paradise, and it is also the reason why Paradise only favors those derivative characters and derivative worlds that can achieve self-awakening and pass the test of "transformation". To put it bluntly, if it is really so easy to get a genius with unlimited potential who can reach the level of a master at the first level, then why would Paradise still choose people from the real world? Just mass-produce derivative characters with outrageous settings.

"As for the specific cost, although I haven't learned the details, considering the rank of Aisi and the others without the world suppression, if you plan to revive Aisi when we encountered the space storm, the price will probably be quite high."

Xin Lailai touched his chin and thought, even if Aisi, the heroine of the Dicuo spin-off, was taken out alone, according to her strength of reaching LV.7 of the Dicuo system, she would be equivalent to a fifth-order extraordinary life.

Although from a strength perspective, any decent adventurer picked from the fifth rank would probably be able to beat the opponent, but the rank and price are very real...

Hmm? Rank and price?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration passed through Xin Lailai's mind, and then the smile on his face gradually became abnormal, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Bell gradually changed from serious to playful, which made Bell feel a chill on his back and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Um...um, Brother Black Sword, what happened?"

Bell looked at Xin Lailai, whose eyes looked increasingly strange, and subconsciously shrank away from her. However, he was held down by Xin Lailai the next second.

"Hey, Bell, are you interested in playing cultivation?"

Xin Lailai pulled him to his side, put his hands on his shoulders, leaned close to his ear, and showed a filthy smile on his face, like a middle-aged, wretched uncle.

"Raise...nurture?"

Bell shuddered slightly when he heard what Xin Lailai said, as if he realized that Xin Lailai was saying something very bad. In the face of Bell's ignorant and innocent reaction, Xin Lailai's smile suddenly became more playful. He put his hand on Bell's shoulder and said playfully:

"Yes~ Development! You see, Aisi was a LV.7 adventurer when she was alive. It must be an extremely huge expense to save enough money to revive her. This is not conducive to your development in the paradise, don't you think?"

"Uh… yeah."

"Then, look, didn't I just tell you that the higher the rank of the resurrected target and the stronger its power, the greater the cost of resurrection. In other words, the weaker the target, the smaller the cost of resurrection, right?"

"It… is, yes."

"So, you see, compared to reviving Aisi at level 7, reviving Aisi who is not even an adventurer but a little girl is obviously much more cost-effective than reviving Aisi when she grows up, right?"

Resurrect...Resurrect the young Miss Aisi? !
Hearing Xin Lailai's proposal, Bell's eyes widened, and then he shuddered and quickly denied:
"Wait...wait a minute, Brother Black Sword, this doesn't sound right. Wouldn't that mean we are denying all of Miss Aisi's subsequent experiences..."

"You are stupid. If she doesn't remember, don't you and Le Yuan remember? You can choose to revive the childhood Ai Si, and then buy the memory of Ai Si during the space storm from Le Yuan. You can also deliberately avoid the more valuable parts like swordsmanship insights. Isn't this minimizing the cost?"

Before Bell could finish, Xin Lailai flicked his forehead with his other hand and scolded him with a tone of disappointment. Then he laughed and whispered in Bell's ear with a devilish voice:
"Look, if you do this, not only will you be able to revive Aisi soon, but you can even grow up with her. Although her memories are still the same as when she grew up, her physical condition will also affect her mentality. After all, her childhood was not very good to begin with, and what you are doing can actually help her heal some of the shadows of her childhood. Besides, don't you want to hear others call you brother or elder brother, or hold the cute little version of Aisi in your arms for comfort?"

But... a cute version of Miss Aisi? !

Xin Lailai's words were like the devil's whispers, constantly lingering in Bell's mind, causing Bell to uncontrollably imagine the scene Xin Lailai described. His throat moved slightly twice, and his ears and neck gradually became hot.

"Besides, think about it...if you do this, do you still need to worry about Ai Si looking down on you? At that time, you were a great hero who saved the world by yourself, and you were also her relative who grew up with her, and you were also her junior. With these multiple relationships, and with Ai Si's innocent personality, when the time comes, as long as you are brave enough to rush up and confess your love to her, wouldn't it be easy to get her?"

Confess...Confession?!

"No... No, Brother Black Sword, I... I don't have any bad feelings towards Miss Ai Si..."

After hearing what Xin Lailai said, Bell's face suddenly turned as red as Guan Gong's. Steam came out of his head. He explained in a panic, and his voice became lower and lower.

"Bullshit, who can't see what you're thinking? Do you really want to see Ai Si marry someone else?"

“This…I…”

"Look, that's it, Bell. Men should never be cowardly when it's time to take action. Since the person you like is right there, you should seize the opportunity! Listen to your big brother's advice, deal with Ai Si first, and then choose Liu as your mistress. They are both introverted and won't compete with you for anything. As for Lily and Haruhime, they are actually very easy to deal with. The ones you really need to pay attention to are Hestia and Freya. But here I can tell you a trick. According to my experience, these two are enemies, so just put them last and find a way to get them all at once..."

“Brother Black Sword, that…”

"Don't interrupt me. I haven't finished yet, Bell. I'm telling you, with your personality and face, you're very popular among strong women. If you show your majestic inner self that is totally inconsistent with your appearance in bed, I guarantee they will be absolutely fascinated..."

"No...no, Brother Hei...Brother Hei Jian, behind...behind you."

A hesitant reminder sounded, and Bell glanced behind Xin Lailai with his peripheral vision. After a shudder, he spoke hesitantly, which made Xin Lailai stunned.

later?

Xin Lailai heard this and subconsciously looked back, and then...

Then he saw Ling Yuzi, who was completely blocking his breath, looking down at him from above, with his eyes narrowed into slits and a smile on his face that was so bright that it was chilling.

"..."

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze there.

"Um... I was just joking with him. I definitely didn't want to lead him astray or instill any weird ideas in him. I also didn't want him to have a happy ending to satisfy the regrets he had when reading the original novel!"

Finally, Xin Lailai raised a hand and made a final defense, and then -

boom!
A small fist hit Xin Lailai's face at full speed. Xin Lailai's body instantly rolled like a windmill and flew sideways, finally hitting the counter of the camp store heavily and getting stuck inside the counter upside down.
