Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 462: Chapter 318 Sleeping Beauty and Pinch Hitter_4

Shen Ye said in surprise, “Could it be—”

“You’re quick to catch on. We are indeed about to reach the airspace above the Abyss Zone. Only those who have purchased the ‘introduction’ will get this information for free once,” the maid said with a smile.

Shen Ye looked toward those fishing professionals.

They had yet to show any reaction.

Does no one know?

“‘The End’ is ever-changing, so its patterns are elusive. Only the most powerful abilities of the Prophecy System can glimpse a thing or two,” the maid explained.

“Doesn’t that mean they’re doomed?” Shen Ye asked.

“No, they will watch the actions of us attendants. If we start to seek refuge, they will immediately flee,” the maid replied.

“How much time do we have left?” Shen Ye asked.

“We have the last twenty-nine minutes. Would you like to purchase refuge services, or return to your own world?”

“How long will seeking refuge take?” Shen Ye inquired.

“Each time is different. This time, it will take about thirteen hours,” the maid answered.

Thirteen hours.

That’s too long.

By the time he returned to the memory world of the Nine Aspects, the other party would have been well-prepared for an easy capture.

Then he might as well make the most of these last twenty-some minutes and give fishing a try.

—That way, his Evaluation Entry will also be higher.

Shen Ye spent money to buy a fishing rod and walked along the square, sitting down at a less crowded edge.

He examined the fishing rod in his hands.

“Space Folding Detector.”

“Space-class equipment (Green Level).”

“Description: Tie your companion to the detector, release the rope, and it can cross vast distances, directly reaching the ground of the planet, searching for valuable items for you.”

It was said to be a fishing rod, but in fact—

It really was!

Shen Ye looked around him.

There were many fellow anglers.

Everyone brought their own folding stools, or directly set up large sofas, or just sat on the edge of the square with their legs hanging in the air.

Each person had a fishing rod in hand.

Not far away—

A red-haired girl was reeling in her line.

At the end of her fishing rod, a monkey quickly passed through the dark void, returning to Dusk Star Square empty-handed.

“I saw a very powerful creature, so I signaled you to pull me back midway,” the monkey said.

—This was a Technique Spirit.

“Hmm, it’s okay. We’ll try again next time. Let’s go eat something first,” the red-haired girl suggested.

The girl walked away with the Technique Spirit.

Shen Ye stood there thinking for a while.

Suddenly Skeleton voiced out:

“It’s alright, let me go. I can recognize many treasures,” it said.

“That monkey just now was at the fifth level of the Law Realm, stronger than you, and it retreated midway,” Shen Ye pointed out.

A rustling came from within the Dharma Aspect.

Shen Ye focused his attention and saw the Skeleton and the Four Kings standing in a row, their aura formidable.

Skeleton boasted, “The Four Kings said they have developed a Fusion Technique that’s guaranteed to boost my strength by two levels. With that, retrieving treasures from the planet would be like taking things from my pocket, right?”

Is that so?

Shen Ye looked toward the Four Kings.

The Four Kings nodded in unison and began releasing their Techniques.

The First King shouted, “I’ll form the head!”

He flew into the air, his body transforming to become the head.

The Second King shouted, “I’ll form the torso!”

The Third King bellowed, “I’ll form the arms!”

The Fourth King also called out, “I’ll form the legs!”

They combined together, indeed forming a Giant.

Then they said to Skeleton in unison, “We’re just missing you now!”

Skeleton exclaimed, “Alright! I’ll form—”

Wait a second.

It took a few steps back, examining the Giant closely.

Something wasn’t right.

You’ve already formed everything.

—What else can I possibly form?

Shen Ye couldn’t help but interject, “You’re a blockhead! You can form a weapon! Understand?”

Skeleton breathed a sigh of relief and was about to jump up to transform into a blade.

“Hold on a second!” Shen Ye said.@@novelbin@@

“What now?” Skeleton asked.

“This Technique of yours isn’t mature yet. You haven’t thought through the combining parts properly. I actually have a new idea,” Shen Ye remarked.

“What idea?”

“Simple. You hold the fishing rod, and I go down,” Shen Ye stated.

“What!”

A few minutes later—

Skeleton crouched at the edge of the square, carefully lowering the string of the fishing rod down.

Shen Ye was hanging on the string.

The string passed through the folded space, rapidly descending toward the planet.

Shen Ye waited a moment longer.

Once the fishing line completely left the view of Dusk Star, he casually formed a square sheet of ice and drilled a hole through it, tying it to the end of the fishing line.

“Existence in Mirror.”

As the Technique activated,

he instantly concealed himself within the mirror.

Now, there was nothing alive on this fishing line, just a square block of ice.

A creature surely wouldn’t be interested in a square piece of ice, would it?

In a flash—

The string landed on the planet known as “The End.”

The planet’s surface was desolate.

The gray ground was littered with various oddly shaped skeletons.

Looking afar—

There were no meaningful buildings in sight.

——This is the Madness Zone.

The square block of ice carefully descended, only to “clang” loudly as it hit the ground.

There was silence all around.

No monsters either.

Shen Ye’s head emerged from within the square ice block.

He looked around curiously.

“Hey!”

“Is anyone there?”

The ground became loose all of a sudden.

Quickly.

A giant pupil emerged from the soil, swiveled around, and then fixed its gaze on the square ice block.

Shen Ye watched it.

Above its head, a string of “??????” bright red text appeared.

A mythical evaluation entry!

And it was completely indecipherable!

“Nice to meet you, but I have things to do, we’ll chat some other time,” Shen Ye said with a smile.

The pupil expressed disdain.

A dull voice rapidly rose from the ground:

“You don’t think that you could actually escape, do you?”

“Escape? Not a chance, this thing called going offline—you see this avatar of mine, as soon as it changes it means I’m offline.”

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ye’s head vanished from the ice block in an instant.

The pupil kept staring at the ice block.

Crash!

The ice block shattered.

But it was empty inside.

“Offline…”

A voice filled with confusion came from the soil.

At the same time.

The big skeleton squatting on the edge of the square abruptly tossed down its fishing rod and ran off.

It crossed the entire square and pushed against the stone door with force.

Outside the stone door.

A hallway.

Shen Ye was already standing there.

“It’s too dangerous, we need to hurry,” Shen Ye said.

“Okay.”

The two of them walked to the end of the tunnel.

“——A lot of monsters?”

“Only saw one.”

“Very strong?”

“Super strong, I had no confidence at all to play around with it.”

“Good grief, this is just the Madness Zone, and there’s still the Abyss Zone.”

“Right.”

They pushed the door open.

Back to the inn in the small town.

Shen Ye gently laid the little girl on the bed, then looked into the void.

Rows of faint glowing letters had indeed appeared:

“You and Charlotte have obtained an entry.”

“Due to the enemy’s cursing technique, among the two of you, one must be affected by the entry. Please decide who will be the affected one.”

“The current cursing technique will act three times in total.”

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the Demon of Fear, no matter how formidable, could only curse three times when faced with “the door,” the power of the future.

I can take it three times no problem!

“Let the curse affect my entry, not Charlotte’s,” he said.

All the faint light withdrew.

New tiny letters swiftly emerged:

“In this door opening, Charlotte has gained the evaluation entry:”

“Sleeping Beauty.”

“Green entry (Excellent).”

“Description: Sleep will naturally grow your attributes, with the increased value each hour being proportional to your inherent talent.”

“Evaluation: A naive and adorable beautiful little girl should sleep more. This way, she’ll grow up healthy.”

“——Go to sleep early for good health.”

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

Not bad.

At least it’s an attribute improvement.

Charlotte’s talent goes without saying, this entry will allow her rapid progress.

What about myself?

More faint light appeared:

“In this door opening you have received the cursed entry:”

“Despicable Substitute.”

“Passive black entry (Negative).”

“Description: As long as the entry exists, you will be despised, cursed, and undermined by those around you.”

“Evaluation: While everyone under ‘The End’ star is bravely exploring and seeking treasure, you just went offline.”

“——You’re really cheap.”

Shen Ye was momentarily speechless.

Great.

So this is what the curse meant.

It’s you who are really cheap, Demon of Fear.

“Absorption.”

Shen Ye said.

“Absorption will reduce all attributes by 3 points.”

“Enough, just absorb it!”
