Zongman: Evolution Paradise

By using this method, today's troubles can be instantly reduced to one.

In other words, how should the Nakano Five Sisters pass a trial mission of normal difficulty?

Hmm... let alone double the difficulty, Jolyne felt that the normal difficulty of the trial mission would already put these idiots in grave danger.

"Things aren't as simple as you think. The five of them aren't aliens from tokusatsu movies who can merge and disintegrate at will with a thought."

When the five of them revert to one, the park, from the moment it assigned the player the control panel, bound them together in a mystical way. Even if they immediately leave the park and no longer experience the game, they will still be influenced by each other in every aspect of their lives.

Nakano Maruo said with a cold expression, "For example, the most common shared perception."

Nino likes you, right?

If you kiss her, the other four will also feel the touch.

"Wouldn't that be even better?"

Jolyne thought to herself.

Nakano Maruo has already put it very tactfully. If they really share perception, it's safe to say that these equal futures will indeed never be able to leave each other again.

However, this problem is a minor matter. From Nakano Maruo's increasingly cold eyes, Jolyne could see that this guy wanted to sink her into Tokyo Bay.

The matter of dividing the land into five equal parts is likely to cause further trouble, and this guy doesn't seem willing to tell his daughters.

On the other side, Nino Nakano blushed a little when she heard Maruo Nakano say such a thing. She looked at her four sisters and decisively stepped forward to protect Jolyne, staring intently at Maruo Nakano.

"This is absolutely unacceptable. Isn't there a better solution?"

"Of course there is. All we need to do is make you S-level trainees in the park."

When a player reaches S-rank, the park will search the skill list and select one skill to upgrade into a talent.

Regarding the skills that are sublimated, the park will prioritize areas that are not available in other S-level skills.

It can be said that as long as you become S-rank, the essence of Paradise will definitely select the special circumstances of your five personalities. Whether it's a conflicting personality or an overburdened body, becoming an S-rank is the best way to solve all problems.

"Then let's become S-class."

"Nino Nakano said."

A strange atmosphere developed among her and her sisters, like "the good guys in an animated movie who, after the first forty minutes of traditional melodramatic plot, suddenly put aside their differences and inexplicably defeat the villains they couldn't beat before."

Nakano Maruo remained expressionless, calmly looking at Nakano Nino in front of him, his eyes conveying the clear message: you should complete the trial mission first.

Jolyne's expression was somewhat strange.

No, so all this trouble just means getting into the amusement park and becoming an S-class?

Becoming an S-class is indeed very difficult; these idiots have virtually no chance of achieving it.

Even if you, Nakano Maruo, are powerless, I, Jolyne, do have a solution.

All they need to do is pass the trial missions and use the workshop to improve their strength. By overwhelming them with strength, they will eventually have a chance to become S-rank.

Jolyne had originally planned to use the workshop to completely sever the connections between these five equal parts, so that their essence would no longer be the same person. However, Nakano Maruo's suggestion of becoming an S-rank made Jolyne abandon this plan.

Chapter 358 No Need to Say It

What are the reasons?

All the troubles that Nakano Maruo mentioned had a premise: that the amusement park actually invited Nakano Quinton to become a player.

As for whether the Paradise would extend an invitation, he had already stated that he had predicted with his power that the Nakano Five Sisters would definitely be invited by the Paradise, which was why he went to great lengths to create those three prophecies to prevent the Five Sisters from becoming players.

In that case, even if Jolyne uses the workshop to separate the essence of the Nakano Five Sisters, the Paradise will still send down five different invitations.

And after doing this,

Jolyne's troubles will increase fivefold.

Right now, he only needs to think about how the five Nakano sisters will get through one trial mission. After they separate, he will have to think about how these five idiots will each get through five different trial missions.

Furthermore, dividing into five people means that we will have to find a way to produce five blank letters later.

Thinking about it that way, Jolyne realized it would be easier to help the Nakano Five Sisters become S-class.

"Then let's make them S-class."

Jolyne said in a low voice, believing that Nakano Maruo had already discovered his uniqueness, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed here to calmly explain the series of troubles involving the Nakano Five Sisters to him.

As a player himself, Nakano Maruo couldn't read minds and therefore couldn't be sure of Jolyne's character. Given this situation, Nakano Maruo couldn't help but worry that Jolyne was also like Rena's ex-husband.

Moreover, Nino Nakano only transferred schools a few days ago?

So you've already fallen for Jolyne?

From a father's perspective, it's already good enough that Nakano Maruo didn't directly deal with Jolyne, this unstable factor. It's really strange that he's telling her the truth as if she were family.

Jolyne's assessment was that the fact that she was unaffected by Nakano Maruo's power had already shown him something, and he felt that he had the ability to resolve the series of troubles caused by the Nakano Five Sisters.

"Since the park will definitely invite them, it is imperative that they return to one body to avoid doubling the difficulty of the trial mission."

Other things can be put aside for now; we only have one problem right now.

How can we ensure these idiots survive this trial?

In response to Jolyne's words, Nakano Maruo tossed a ring to Jolyne.

Item - Advanced Storage Ring

Description: Xiao Huohuo, I can still smoke for another three years.

Effect: Stores items; of course, you can also put a soul inside.

Conditions of use: None

"Attach your soul to them and follow them into the trial world."

S-class animals are pampered by the amusement park.

Unless you offer help, the park generally won't get involved in such trivial matters.

Nakano Maruo shared his thoughts.

Jolyne also looked at her Paradise Bracelet.

Special - Paradise's Favor

Description: The park favors you more than other players.

Effect: You'll find yourself receiving more preferential treatment in every aspect of the park...

"The paradise's darling..."

Jolyne looked at the storage ring in her hand, scoffed, and asked, "You want to sneak in as a spirit?"

Nakano Maruo certainly knew he was an S-rank.

This was something Jolyne had explicitly told him; otherwise, he would have known that only by passing the trial missions could one be considered a player, so why would he have asked Nakano Maruo if a white letter could solve the problem?

The reason for doing this.

Of course, it's to show this guy in front of me that I, Jolyne, also have connections, and he'd better not do anything that might anger me just because of his strength.

For example, tapping and probing.

After all, if Jolyne found out that her future daughter was dating a player whose background she couldn't figure out, she really wouldn't be able to resist killing and dissecting her to find out.

And so it is; even now, the two of them maintain a certain degree of restraint.

Jolyne is pondering what Nakano Maruo said.

His stated meaning was that as an S-rank individual, he was favored by Paradise and could entrust his soul to the storage ring to accompany the Quintessential Quintuplets into the trial. Even if he couldn't openly intervene, he could still provide crucial guidance to help them safely pass the trial.

But there's a big problem here!

That's five equal parts of action!

If the soldiers participating in this trial are seasoned veterans who are disciplined and obey orders, then Jolyne would naturally serve as a "selection system" to guide the players.

But this is the Quintessential Quintuplets. Not long ago, they were still young ladies from a slice-of-life anime. Even if they can now put aside all their worries and obey Jolyne's orders, where will they get the motivation to complete the mission?

Just like marching in a square formation, ordinary people tell themselves to lift their right leg, but they will unconsciously lift their left leg instead.

Jolyne couldn't believe that Nakano Maruo hadn't thought of such an obvious problem, and when Jolyne asked him again in a questioning tone, Nakano Maruo remained calm and showed no intention of explaining.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

"……I see."

Jolyne withdrew her gaze and chose to accept the storage ring.

The true meaning of Nakano Maruo can be understood from another perspective: he was unaware that his mind was filled with numerous plots.

And [Paradise's Favor]?

All S-rank individuals receive this benefit. Nakano Maruo is very strong and doesn't seem like someone who can't find another S-rank to help him.

Now, without considering any other options, facing Jolyne, who has abducted Nino Nakano and whose true nature is still unclear, he didn't even ask a question like "Do you have confidence?" and just placed his daughter's safety on such a sudden change.

So how could Nakano Maruo be so sure that Jolyne could help the Quintessential Quintuplets pass the trial simply by commanding them?

Unless he didn't mean it that way at all!

The literal interpretation: Jolyne, you have the [favor of Paradise]. You infiltrated the trial as a soul, and Paradise won't bother with such a trivial matter.

The real meaning is: it's true that other S-ranks can only sneak into the trial as souls, but you, Jolyne, are not a proper S-rank either. Unlike them, you can do much more without any scruples!

The amusement park wristband is worn on the wrist; everyone understands this implicitly.

Although Jolyne didn't know the reason why Nakano Maruo made this judgment, it was probably not wrong. This relieved Jolyne's worries about the quintet, and it might even be a good thing.

"You just understand."

Nakano Maruo, his face grim, finally couldn't resist the urge to test the waters again.

"Jolyne, tell me why I..."

After all, they were his daughters, and five of them at that.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Jolyne interrupted Nakano Maruo.

Jolyne said, "Why doesn't matter, because you've already decided on me, haven't you?"

Unnecessary probing can end here.

Mr. Nakano Maruo, what you should be considering now is what kind of compensation to give me, rather than guessing whether I am capable of doing it.

As players, only mutual benefit can slightly increase the level of trust between us.

At this point, Jolyne countered, "You don't want to owe someone a favor, do you?"

Given Nakano Maruo's abilities, his favors are far more valuable than ordinary rewards.

Unfortunately, judging from Nakano Nino's attitude, Nakano Maruo would never owe her this favor and risk damaging his authority in front of Jolyne.

“As you said, mutual benefit can indeed strengthen the trust between us,” Nakano Maruo said. “If my power cannot influence you, then this reward is sufficient.”

A stone flew toward Jolyne, who had already noticed that it was a talent stone.

Chapter 359 Preparing for the Trial

Talent Stone - Listener

Description: My ear hairs are talking to me.

Effect: Grants the talent - Listener upon use.

Usage conditions: Be prepared.

Talent - Listener

Description: Wai Bi Ba Bu, Wai Bi Wai Bi, Gula Gula Bi Yao Miao Miao... Wa Wa Rou!

Effect: You can gain attribute growth by listening to the whispers of certain mysterious beings, and you can also gain certain powerful, twisted, and unique abilities.

Usage conditions: Your hearing should ideally be like that of an elderly woman with dementia and hearing loss, because the listener is only responsible for listening; what is heard and when it is heard are not things you can decide.

After reading the introduction to the park, Jolyne realized that this talent stone had captured her heart.
