Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Where is Paradise Lost?

Chen Xi chose this one from among many questions.

The answer to this question cannot directly solve any of Chen Xi's current pain points.

Regarding Paradise Lost, there may be clues to the Primal Seed, the forbidden item number 5, as well as clues to the progression of hyperthymesia, and even some other mysteries surrounding Chen Xi may be contained within it.

Therefore, Chen Xi chose the question with the widest coverage and the highest probability of profit.

Paradise Lost is a crucial safe zone that Chen Xi must go to, but she doesn't know where it is, and even Lu Xitong has searched for it several times without success.

It's clear that this isn't an easy place to find.

As for other questions, such as what is the Black Tower, who am I, etc.

First, Chen Xi couldn't guarantee that the other party would definitely know the answer. Even if it was 99.9%, who knew if it was true? And even if it was true, was the question he asked necessarily within that range?

If you can't answer, you can ask another question, and Chen Xi will consider it.

Chen Xi couldn't possibly gamble with a forbidden item on a mechanism that rewards even if you can't answer the question.

He wanted to take a gamble, but not the kind of gamble that's so foolish.

Chen Xi had considered the question of where Paradise Lost was. If the other party truly knew 99.9% of the world's affairs as it claimed, then it must know where Paradise Lost was.

Secondly, even if we knew the answers to these questions, they probably wouldn't have any practical significance.

It's like knowing exactly how many light-years the universe is or how old it is, so what?

Don't change anything about you as you are now.

The gap in distance and level is too great.

Chen Xi believes that proceeding step by step is the optimal solution.

However, these "steps" should be taken as big as possible.

The golden sphere did not answer immediately upon hearing this. The golden light on its body began to change color from dark to light and then from light to dark, as if it was thinking or searching.

Soon, the golden sphere returned to its original brightness, indicating that there was a result.

With a "ding," just like the previous reward for the dragon-shaped armor, another golden light entered Chen Xi's chest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"The answer has been given to you. I look forward to seeing you again, contributor."

After the golden sphere finished speaking, the brightness of its golden light began to gradually diminish.

Gold → pale gold → bright yellow → pale yellow, until it becomes dull and loses its luster.

Immediately afterwards, its own form transformed into countless tiny bubbles, which slowly descended and returned to the two grooves that Chen Xi had previously inlaid.

The scene can be described as returning to the same place as it came from.

"Three directions..."

After the golden sphere departed, Chen Xi closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, and then said calmly.

"What three directions?"

"Aren't there only two?"

Yang Wei scratched his head.

Chen Xi added, as was her usual practice:

"In that golden light just now, besides the reward for knowledge, there was also the reward of receiving a dragon tooth after completing the process."

"Therefore, there are two directions here: one is the direction of Paradise Lost, and the other is the direction of Dragon's Tooth."

"As for the third one..."

"That's the direction of the Black Tower!"

"I told you before that the Black Tower has been shut down, and normally we won't be able to go back for at least 50 years."

"Although we can't go back to the original world."

"But I can sense the location of the Black Tower."

Yang Wei was surprised to hear this: "Boss, you have this ability?"

"While I was gone, did you acquire some new identity or innate talent?"

Chen Xi shook her head: "I wish I could, but unfortunately I can't."

"Anyone who enters through the Black Tower Gate normally can sense this location, which is useful when leaving. It serves as a guiding light. However, the Black Tower is now closed."

"The first floor of the Black Tower is too big, and the location you enter each time is random. Without direction, you'll never be able to get out."

Yang Wei nodded: "That's true. This isn't our world; there's no situation where you can see the Black Tower from anywhere."

"So, boss, which direction are you planning to choose next?"

Chen Xi didn't answer, but instead summoned a flying sword, gripping the hilt with his right hand and grabbing Yang Wei with his left:

"Let's go up first. This dragon palace is cleverly designed; only those who possess dragon-related forbidden items will be immune to attacks from those dangers."

"While submitting dragon-related forbidden items would invite dangerous attacks, the Three Dragons Gathering location happens to be free of any dangerous patrols."

"I don't know if this situation will be disrupted because we lost the dragon-related forbidden item, so let's leave first."

After saying that, with a "whoosh," the two of them quickly rose into the air.

As expected, the downward force was due to the dragon-related forbidden items he was carrying. Without the Rising Dragon and Dragon Summoning Flute, there was no force to pull Chen Xi down.

Chen Xi didn't know exactly how deep the Jelly Sea was, but it was definitely special. You could breathe and talk in it with almost no resistance, and there was no pressure either.

Looking behind him, the Dragon Palace gradually dimmed and became smaller, while in front of him, the darkness grew thicker and thicker.

Chen Xi had largely confirmed one thing.

The Dragon Palace and the Jelly Sea should be a safe zone.

Otherwise, the two cannot cooperate.

Anyone carrying dragon-related forbidden items will be dragged down by this force the moment they step into the Jelly Sea, and they will not be able to come back up without handing over the dragon-related forbidden items.

Darkness... endless darkness...

After completely leaving the Dragon Palace and before reaching the surface of the Jelly Sea, this area is completely dark.

Fortunately, there is no danger in this area.

According to Chen Xi's judgment, the dangers in the Dragon Palace probably all came from the Jelly Sea.

The design here is to allow all three dragon-related forbidden items to be collected.

However, it's impossible for Chen Xi to come and hand over this dragon tooth.

If they were weaker, it would be fine, but the danger in the Dragon Palace safe zone is too great!

He was so strong that all he wanted to do was leave.

Lu Xitong had described to Chen Xi several safe zones she had visited, excluding those without any danger, and some of them could be handled with only the strength of Stage I.

It's extremely rare for a place like Dragon Palace to die even after entering at stage III.

The Dragon Palace is far more terrifying than any of the safe zones that Lu Xitong and Chen Xi mentioned. Even Lu Xitong herself, with her pure physical abilities, would die here.

Chen Xi felt that a place like the Dragon Palace could no longer be called a safe zone; it had no meaning whatsoever for the word "safe" and was even more terrifying than the Doom Zone!

It could easily have its own dedicated track, which could simply be called the Danger Zone!

In the darkness, neither of them spoke, both tacitly wanting to leave as soon as possible.

"Light!"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xi sensed a sliver of light coming from above.

Not long after, with a "plop," the two were back above the jelly sea.

The Dragon Palace needed Chen Xi to find the third forbidden item for dragons, so he was sure he could come up safely, but even after arriving, he still felt like he had survived a disaster.

After all, the Dragon Palace is too dangerous. Even using the mechanics, you can only kill one person before being killed by the main force.

"Wow, it's alive again!"

Yang Wei let out a pig-like squeal, spread his hands out towards the sky, and expressed his joy with a gesture of welcoming the sunshine.

"Boss, where to next?"

Chen Xi did not answer, but pointed in a direction:

"That's fine."

"I wonder if it's a coincidence, but the Black Tower, Dragon Fang, and Paradise Lost..."

"All three are moving in the same direction!"
