Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

In Lin Qiye's mental world, Lin Ze is currently sitting at the dining table, having a meal with him.

In this world, Lin Ze's cooking skills are still not very good.

Lin Qiye was actually quite unsure of how things had come to that.

Because he hadn't let Lin Ze cook for him yet; he had been cooking for himself.

He couldn't explain why either.

It's like some kind of supernatural rule: if Lin Ze is made to cook, something bad will happen.

Therefore, even in this world, Lin Qiye never let Lin Ze cook a single meal.

Their arrangement was that Lin Qiye would cook, and Lin Ze would be responsible for washing the dishes.

They would go grocery shopping together, buy some of their favorite foods at the market, and then cook something nice for themselves when they got back.

If they happen to be in a good mood, they might even have a small drink; the feeling of being slightly tipsy is quite nice.

However, Lin Qiye always felt something was off after getting drunk.

He felt that the world he was in was somewhat unreal, because everything was just too wonderful.

He was so happy that it felt unreal.

However, this feeling only occurs when drunk, so after that, Lin Qiye rarely suggests drinking unless Lin Ze asks him to.

Fortunately, this feeling disappears in daily life.

He still loves this place very much.

At this moment, Lin Ze looked at the stunned Lin Qiye and called out, "Qiye, what are you standing there for?"

"Hurry up and eat, or it'll get cold."

"And we're going to my aunt's place after we finish eating."

Lin Qiye realized what was happening and mechanically shoveled rice into his mouth.

For some reason, these dishes were his and Lin Ze's favorite foods.

Every time he eats, he feels surrounded by a sense of happiness.

But this time, the previously delicious food tasted bland to him, like chewing wax.

Seeing that Lin Ze was still eating with great relish, Lin Qiye didn't know what to say.

He slowly got up and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore."

Lin Ze looked at the bowl of rice that was still more than half full in Lin Qiye's bowl and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? What's this?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Qiye shook his head.

"Also, I don't want to go to my aunt's house later."

"I'm a little tired today, I want to go back and rest for a while."

Lin Qiye got up and walked towards their bedroom.

Seeing this, Lin Ze certainly couldn't let Lin Qiye bear the burden alone, because he was acting very strangely today!

Lin Ze hurried to catch up and see what was wrong with Qi Ye today.

Before he could even enter, Lin Qiye slammed the door shut, leaving him outside.

Lin Qiye's deep voice came from the room, "Don't bother me, I'll be alone for a while."

Lin Ze's finger hovered in mid-air as he wanted to knock, but after hesitating for a long time, he ultimately did not knock.

He whispered through the door, "Okay, you can have some peace and quiet by yourself."

"Seven Nights, I don't know why you're suddenly unhappy."

"But I want to tell you that I will always be waiting for you outside."

"I've always been here."

"Whenever you figure it out, you can see me as soon as you open the door."

"Of course, if you don't even want to push the door open, you can tell me and I'll come find you."

What I'm trying to say is... I've always been here.

Lin Ze stood at the door for a long time, afraid that Lin Qiye wouldn't hear what he was saying.

Lin Ze only left the doorway after hearing Lin Qiye's soft "hmm" from inside the room.

Even so, he still had many concerns.

I don't know what happened; everything was fine before.

It suddenly turned out like this. Wouldn't it have been better to stay here with myself forever?

At this moment, Lin Qiye murmured softly inside the room, "Lin Ze..."

"Will you wait for me outside all the time?"

"I believe you will."

"Even so, I can't keep you waiting outside forever, Lin Ze. Don't worry, I'll come find you soon."

"Soon, just wait a little longer."

After saying this, Lin Qiye drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the hidden compartments of the Belle Group's home.

At this moment, Lin Ze was leading Cao Yuan and An Qingyu to select suitable forbidden items for themselves.

These forbidden items possess truly incredible power.

Each one deserves the title of a top-grade forbidden item.

After understanding the purpose of these forbidden items, they understood why Baili Xin had hidden them so secretly.

Even his own son didn't know that such a place existed.

Fatty looked at the forbidden items with great curiosity. "Wow! The effect is amazing!"

"Dad, how could you do this?"

"Don't even mention how much stuff is in here, just give me one item, okay? Then I wouldn't be constantly being chased by others."

Baili Xin looked at everyone expressionlessly.

He's backing out now.

To be precise, he never promised Lin Ze and the others that they could choose from these items.

They barged in on their own.

Afterwards, he even acted as if he were the bad guy.

At this moment, all Baili Xin could think about was how to protect these things.

Using weak methods now is definitely not going to work.

Because if you try to reason with Lin Ze, this kid's words will leave you completely bewildered.

Baili Xin was a seasoned veteran who had been around for many years, yet he was still outmaneuvered by Lin Ze.

Therefore, reasoning with them is definitely not a viable option.

If the soft approach doesn't work, then there's only one path left to take.

If the soft approach doesn't work, then let's try the hard approach!

He simply didn't believe that if he were more assertive, Lin Ze would disregard his pride and take these things away.

At most, Baili Xin can only accept letting Lin Ze take one item by himself.

This is already his absolute bottom line.

No more can be added to it.

He knew that Lin Ze must have powerful connections, but he just couldn't believe that those connections could suppress the Baili family so easily.

The Baili family and their ilk have been able to rise to this level within this social system not only because of their wealth.

Financial resources are only a small part of their total wealth.

The most important factor is Baili Group's keen insight into the situation.

Their house is filled with forbidden items, so one of their most effective methods is using forbidden items to win over the Night's Watch.

And every Night's Watchman longs to become stronger.

If you want to become stronger, there are only a few ways, the first of which is to improve your level of cultivation.

This is a simple and straightforward method.

However, after trying this path for a while, you will find that you have reached a bottleneck.

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to improve by even a fraction.

Since this path is blocked, there are still other paths.

If you can improve your mastery of the Forbidden Ruins to the level of the human ceiling, then your strength will also experience a qualitative leap.

But... this road is much more difficult to travel than the previous one.

Therefore, people usually don't consider this route.

This leaves only the last option: obtaining forbidden items to enhance one's strength.

Having one forbidden ruin is equivalent to having a second forbidden ruin.

It's like giving you two abilities instead of just one.

This is the fastest way to become stronger in a short period of time.

If you can encounter a forbidden item that can be used in conjunction with your forbidden realm, your strength will experience a qualitative leap.

Once you master it, you can even fight across a whole realm.

Being able to fight a level higher than a minor realm is already something to brag about for ordinary people, let alone directly fighting a level higher than a major realm.

Aside from those well-known celebrities, they really haven't seen any ordinary people who can fight across a whole realm.

Therefore, this point is extremely attractive to them.

However, in the real world, obtaining a forbidden item is not such a simple matter.

First, his appearance time and location are not fixed.

It's possible that one second you're sleeping at home, and the next second your bed is blessed and becomes a forbidden object.

This is extremely rare; in most cases, the forbidden object will only be placed on an unclaimed object.

Because of the uncertainty of his location, obtaining the forbidden item is extremely difficult.

Moreover, regardless of which organization it is, anyone with even a little capability is constantly testing for the source of prohibited substances.

If you're a rogue cultivator, you might not even sense the aura of the forbidden item yet, but they've already found it and probably already decided which soldier will receive it for their meritorious service.

It's impossible for independent cultivators to improve their strength and realm on their own, so they are left with only one option.

Join the Baili family.

For the Night's Watch, Baelishin considered it quite generous.

As long as he believes you have potential for growth and you've encountered a bottleneck, he will help you break through it.

Even if someone is an ordinary person, if they encounter a forbidden item that is extremely suitable for them, Baili Xin will nurture it carefully.

In this way, the Baili family's network of connections can be said to extend throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Even among the Night's Watch's higher-ups, many had received their favors.

He had promised Baili Xin that he would help them with something without violating his own principles.

This matter was extremely simple for them; it was just a matter of saying a few words.

Trading this for a forbidden item is an absolute steal.

If we're really talking about background, he doesn't think his background is any worse than Lin Ze's!

At this moment, Lin Ze had already led them to select the forbidden items they wanted.

An Qingyu chose a Super Memory phonograph, which looked like an old-fashioned phonograph about the size of a washbasin, but unlike others, it could play videos.

It will save all the scenes you experience while carrying it, so you can return to that time period whenever you need it.

However, this has nothing to do with changing the timeline.

It simply allows for the deduction of a large amount of information.

Without a doubt, this forbidden item is the most suitable for An Qingyu.

Cao Yuan's choice of forbidden items was also very suitable for him; he chose a demon sword.

According to the records of the Baili family, this demon sword was passed down from the previous dynasty.

It is said to be the sword used by a great demon king at the time. After he was killed, his soul was sealed into this demon sword.

Now that the exorcists who could specifically suppress him are gone, if he were released, it would be an unprecedented catastrophe.

Because no one can stop him.

Their assessment was that, converted to current combat power, this demonic sword was at least at the peak of the Klein realm, a near-human ceiling level.

Therefore, even just the outer garment he was wrapped in used three extremely high-grade forbidden items.

When Cao Yuan entered the dark room, he seemed to be drawn to it.

If the user can suppress the soul within the demon sword, then its power can be used for their own purposes.

However, in the eyes of the Baili family, no one could suppress a monster who was half a step above the human ceiling.

For them, this demonic sword could only be used as a last resort, a means to take each other down with them.

Overall, it's not very useful.

However, usefulness is a relative concept.

It was useless to them, but it was different for Cao Yuan.

With Lin Ze's help, Cao Yuan can now suppress even the Black King within his own body, let alone this small demonic sword.

He felt he could completely control himself, but it wasn't really appropriate to try now, so he'd find another opportunity to try later.

They all chose their favorite forbidden items, and Lin Ze also picked one he liked.

To be precise, there are two items, but you need to take one with you when you leave.

What he was holding now was an eyeball that exuded an eerie aura. The eyeball alone was the size of Lin Ze's palm, and he could barely hold it.

Lin Ze didn't know what kind of creature it was; he only knew that it was very suitable for him.

No, to be precise, it's more about what suits one's own master.

This eye's ability is similar to the Sharingan; both can create illusions. As for the effectiveness, Lin Ze didn't know.

This requires Master Chen to try it himself.

The day before, they had even figured out a way to use the interior space, so they could quietly pull others into it.

Lin Ze had the ability to use the Ghost Face, but Master Chen was missing one, so Lin Ze had to give him a few one-time uses of his Ghost Face ability.

However, continuing like this is not a solution.

The forbidden item he's holding now is just right.

"Boss Baili, thank you so much for your hospitality."

"I have to say, your family's hospitality is really something."

"It really makes us feel at home."

"Don't worry, we'll come back to play again next time."

Baili Xin's expression darkened, and he stood in front of them.

"You are not leaving today."

"Or you can leave your things behind and go."

"Or you can all stay. I've already spoken to your higher-ups."

"They told me to handle this myself."

Lin Ze sneered, "Fine."

So this is where they come from to compare backgrounds.
