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

"Aren't you being a bit too pessimistic?"

Yan Mingliang thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"This is the worst-case scenario."

Chen Xi is not a pessimistic person, but the ability of "Qianbaidu" is like a paternity test, and the results have absolute authority.

From this perspective, I might be some kind of clone of that moving target in the distance!

Or perhaps... I am the real one?!

My clone is running around outside!

However, the possibility is very, very small.

Because this is the Black Tower, nothing like being separated from Chen Xi has happened since he entered.

That proves that the other party was already inside the Black Tower before I came in, and that I was the one who was separated from the Black Tower by the other party a long time ago!

This was also the main reason for Chen Xi's pessimism. At this moment, his expression was sometimes complicated and sometimes calm. Finally, he ended the topic with a soft sigh.

However, nothing is absolute. The fact that the Wanxiang Painting Board, which has nothing to do with Chen Xi, can point to him suggests that there may be another possibility regarding the logical relationship of "Qianbaidu". This matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

But for such unknown situations, Chen Xi usually first considers the worst possible outcome.

"Boss, where are you planning to go next?"

"Paradise Lost, or... the direction the pointer is pointing?"

As we all know, Chen Xi's original destination was Paradise Lost, but now it's hard to say.

The city of giant eggs has now been fully explored.

Without considering the giant dome and the mountain burial ground, it can barely be considered a truly safe zone.

The four of them have accomplished half of their goal of entering this place, which is to obtain the Luck-Avoiding Beads. The audience has given them three, although they are fakes. But as long as their progress does not exceed 33%, it doesn't matter.

This aligns with the wishes of the four individuals, as they hadn't originally planned to advance to a very high level.

Despite Chen Xi's seemingly effortless advancement, they clearly understand that Chen Xi is Chen Xi, and they are themselves.

Being able to reach level III is already very good.

Another objective was to find Lin Fan and even Wang Qingqing.

But now, apart from that school badge, there are no other clues about Lin Fan or anything about the giants here. The mountain tomb should be there, but Chen Xi's current strength clearly doesn't allow him to get close.

The mere touch would trigger a curse that he alone could not completely overcome.

The curse is still underground, and according to Chen Xi, it will take at least another day and night to be worn away, making it extremely difficult to remove.

However, there was also some good news: Lin Fan didn't touch the grave, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

Judging from this, they may have gone somewhere else. There are no signs that this place was used as a human refuge.

Maybe something else happened here before, or maybe nothing happened this time!

In short, it's time to leave.

"The plan remains unchanged; Paradise Lost is still lost!"

Chen Xi quickly replied that this was not something he said casually, but something he had thought about many times before.

The reason is simple: going to Paradise Lost is likely to result in an upgrade.

The answer Chen Xi received in the Dragon Palace was that the method to upgrade hyperthymesia was in Paradise Lost.

The old father urged him to hurry up and go to Paradise Lost to upgrade his hyperthymesia.

These two points are consistent; one can simply assume that going to Paradise Lost can make you stronger.

If Chen Xi goes to search for the unknown object marked by the pointer, he might die!

So there's nothing to worry about about where to go.

Soon, the four of them successfully left the city built of giant stones, passed through the forest, and arrived at the outermost edge.

"Are you ready?" Chen Xi asked. "If you're scared, you can stay here."

"As it stands, this area is a flawed safe zone."

"But this is already the safest safe zone we've ever been to."

"As long as you don't touch that cemetery, there shouldn't be any problem. It can even be used as a weapon if there is an invasion."

"Don't worry, boss, we've discussed it and we plan to stick with you."

"Moreover, besides the burial mound, there is also a giant egg here."

"This thing moved a bit earlier, so it's clearly not inanimate. If we leave it, we might actually become its food!"

Chen Xi nodded unsurprised by Yang Wei's frankness. He was mainly speaking to Yang Wei; the other two were Reflectors and couldn't be kept. "Okay, let's upgrade then!"

"yes!"

The three responded in unison, and the next second, they collectively ate the experience fruit generated from the primordial seed on the misfortune.

Break through the 100% blockade of Tier II and successfully enter Tier III!

Chen Xi looked at Yan Mingliang and the author and nodded in satisfaction.

The experience fruit perfectly countered the weakness of the Reflector in Tier II, where there are no quests to level up.

Essentially, this is the "farmer's" restraint over "hyperthymesia," but isn't it also another form of the lower class overthrowing the higher class?

"Congratulations, but let's wait a bit before leaving." After saying that, Chen Xi took out some more experience fruits. "Now that I have these and there will be more in the future, I plan to use them on two more people."

"Show two more?"

"But that would mean you'd only be able to use telekinesis..."

Yan Ming hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

After Yang Wei was fully resurrected, Yan Mingliang and the author became part of the psychic power that sealed Chen Xi, which is one of the reasons why they were unwilling to continue to improve the progress.

While it may become a stronger ally, it can also become a stronger obstacle.

As things stand, things are alright. Chen Xi has the Ring of Concealment, plus his own 34% progress, four identity cards, and the advantage of the Overlord Sequence. The two of them combined can only seal one-quarter of Chen Xi's mental power.

This wouldn't have a huge impact on Chen Xi, but with two more people, and his psychic power reduced to only half, it might actually have a significant effect.

"Don't worry, the two I'm reflecting are friends from a long time ago. They don't have the Luck-Avoiding Beads, and at most they'll only reach Tier II 100%, so they won't affect me."

Chen Xi's words reassured Yan Mingliang considerably.

"A friend from a long time ago?" Yang Wei's focus wasn't on safety, but rather on the so-called friend. "Is it that 'teacher' homeroom teacher and 'school beauty' Zhang Wanyi?"

Chen Xi nodded, not denying it, and even gave a thumbs up, because Yang Wei rarely guessed correctly.

He truly wanted to reflect on these two extraordinary mentors of his own.

There are many reasons why it wasn't reflected at first.

For example, Zhang Wanyi's "school beauty" role awakened Lin Shutong's interest.

As for the term "teacher," Chen Xi was already at level II at the time, so even if he later reached level III, it wouldn't make a difference.

But things are different now. Now Chen Xi possesses the Omnipotent Drawing Board!

Furthermore, he is considered by "Qianbaidu" to be the pen of all things, although there is currently no chemistry between the two.

But Chen Xi believed that there would definitely be a way to use this containment object later; it must be that some intermediate condition was missing.

And the capabilities of the Kaleidoscope Drawing Board...

The fact that the audience was able to request to draw the "Reverse Clock" is enough to prove the incredible nature of the Kaleidoscope.

So, Chen Xi should be able to draw a crystal fruit that can increase a person's lifespan, right?

As for the emperor coming to take the painting board later, let him come; Chen Xi had no intention of refusing to give it to him.

However, since the audience can "borrow" the canvas of all things from the emperor, and unleash their full potential...

Should we be able to "borrow" it for a while longer?
