Black Book

Chapter 112 Why did you come in too?

At this stage, the horror of basic strength gradually becomes apparent.

However, this is not the strongest realm of [Layer Power]...

With a thought, Zhu Haomiao counted his [Greed Gold Coins] and found that in the sacrifice before his return, each sacrifice contributed three to five coins at least, and more than ten coins at most. Even after various cashbacks and consumption, there were still nearly a hundred coins left!

It’s a pity that such sacrificial ceremonies cannot be carried out too frequently, otherwise, once exposed, they will inevitably attract enemies from all over the world!

After all, the scenes in the sacrificial ceremony were indeed a bit ahead of their time in terms of the aesthetics of people of this era...

Alas... people only see my evil methods, but don't know my kind heart...

Keeping those scum around will only make the world's rice more expensive!
I am doing this to eliminate harm for the people!

With a sigh of not being understood by the world, Zhu Haomiao casually grabbed something, and a dark and heavy book instantly materialized in his palm and opened automatically.

The next second, an endless stream of [Greed Coins] fell from the air, like a golden stream flowing out of nothingness, gently falling into the pages of the [Black Book], creating circles of ripples of laws like water waves.

After investing more than twenty [Greed Gold Coins], the records in the [Black Book] changed.

[Layer Power]: LV.5 (Great Success·Bottleneck)
The next second, decades of virtual memories flooded his mind like a flood. Zhu Haomiao's pupils slowly dilated, and he stared into the void with empty eyes, standing there in a daze.

It took more than ten minutes for the huge amount of memory to be gradually summarized and digested. Zhu Haomiao came back to his senses, rubbed his temples, and let out a long breath.

The difficulty of each level of basic strength increases exponentially. The higher the level, the more it tests your talent and understanding.

With my [Ordinary Destiny] and mediocre understanding, if I didn't have [Greed] to spend money and [Laziness] to turn into a pupa, I would probably have to spend my entire life studying and practicing any technique...

fortunately……

Glancing at the ancient and mysterious [Black Book] in his palm, Zhu Haomiao smiled with relief.

slap~
With a clench of his five fingers, the open [Book of Black] instantly closed and turned into a stream of light that sank into his palm.

Stretching slowly, Zhu Haomiao did not rush to enter the pupae state again to break through the sixth level of [Layer Power], but examined his own condition.

[God]: 12 (6) ↑
【Min】：14（5）↑
【Strength】: 16 (13) ↑
【Essence】：16（5）↑
【Air】：15（9）↑
【Body】：16（7）↑
During the period of return, two points of the six-dimensional attributes were digested, but as [Stacked Waves] broke through the fifth level, the sedimentation attribute was improved again.

Digestion can't keep up with growth, how annoying...

Pursing his lips, Zhu Haomiao sighed in a rather Versailles way, and suddenly felt a movement in his pocket.

He habitually took out a snow-white mink from his pocket. The smug curve on the boy's mouth slowly disappeared, and he stared at the pet who had just woken up.

"Gee~~"

Diao Chan yawned, licked his little mouth, and looked around curiously.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao thought carefully and analyzed seriously, and his handsome features gradually wrinkled into a ball.

No...how did you get in?

Even if you enter the Fantasy Realm from the same [Door], you should have landed somewhere else!!
Unless there is some real item that is bound to the link...

Stroking the pet's fur, rubbing its belly, and feeling the real softness and fluffiness, Zhu Haomiao dispelled the idea that he was hallucinating.

But he racked his brains but couldn't figure out how Diao Chan had entered the fantasy realm with him.

"Gee~"

However, the heartless little mink didn't have so many worries. It jumped out of the boy's arms and ran around the house like a pure white lightning, sniffing here and there. Realizing that the mink's strength and speed were much stronger than in reality, Zhu Haomiao narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and waved to it.

"Come here~"

"Gee~"

It quickly scurried to the boy's shoulder, licked his cheek, and skillfully crawled into his clothes, leaving only a small head sticking out to observe the surroundings, looking sneaky.

"Although the death in the fantasy realm is not real, you still have to be careful. Don't show your head unless necessary. If you do, you will be killed in seconds!"

"grumble?"

After rubbing the pet's head with his chin and pressing it into his clothes, Zhu Haomiao calmed himself down and opened the heavy bronze door.

Click, click, click, click~
A heavy, muffled sound echoed in the deep, dark tunnel amid the sounds of complicated mechanisms operating. The long, deep echoes overlapped one another, carrying a hint of creepy evil, as if the gates of hell were slowly opening.

Passing through the dark and complex maze, Zhu Haomiao left his "mausoleum" from a hidden exit and headed straight for the [Apricot Blossom Tower] in the Demon City.

After this period of sleep, the food in his stomach had been completely digested and he was in urgent need of nutrition.

Dozens of minutes later, the young man arrived at [Xinghualou] with familiarity and was spotted by the waiter at the door from a distance.

"A distinguished guest has arrived, Master Zhu. You haven't been here for a long time. Please come in! Please come in!"

The waiter bowed and nodded as he led Zhu Haomiao into the room. Just as he was about to take him to the private room upstairs, he suddenly noticed that the young man stopped and was looking in a certain direction of the lobby.

At the end of Zhu Haomiao's sight, several young boys and girls were chatting and laughing in high spirits, and the memory of his first arrival in the Magic City suddenly flooded into his mind.

"Brother Rong!"

An Rong, who was drinking, was stunned for a moment. He looked at the handsome young man who walked up to him, frowned slowly, looked around, and asked tentatively with little confidence.

"Xiao Zhu?"

Zhu Haomiao smiled and nodded: "It's only been over a year since we last met, and you don't recognize me?"

An Rong slowly widened his eyes: "Ce Na, you went for plastic surgery?!"

Until this time, several friends around An Rong also recognized this black iron rookie who they met by chance more than a year ago, and they all enthusiastically invited him to join them.

"Fuck, you've changed so much. If you hadn't greeted me, I wouldn't have recognized you!"

Pulling Zhu Haomiao to sit next to him, An Rong looked around and marveled.

He still remembered that this boy's appearance a year ago was at best handsome...

But now, he looks like the protagonist from a comic book, so handsome that it seems as if he has turned on a beauty filter. He is so perfect that it seems unreal!
At this moment, a good friend at the table suddenly noticed the [Dragon Emblem] on Zhu Haomiao's chest, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly.

"Brother! You've been promoted to Silver?!"

After he said this, everyone noticed the [Silver Dragon Emblem] on Zhu Haomiao's chest. They looked at each other in shock and whispered to each other in voices as thin as mosquitoes.

"If I remember correctly, he was still Black Iron a year ago..."

"At that time, I was still wondering if he was a second-generation who came here to gild himself..."

Thanks to book friends such as [wecy] and [The Great Yin-Yang Taoist] for their rewards.
