Huang Qin stood on the balcony of his house.
He took a deep puff from the cigarette in his mouth.
He recalled his experience in the Legend of Nightmare.
It wasn’t a game at all!
It was a gladiator arena!
A gladiator arena where one risked one’s life!
A gladiator arena where one risked one’s life for a transcendental future.
Fortunately, he had succeeded!
He had survived the first Nightmare World.
Therefore, strictly speaking, he was now considered a transcendent being.
He gently extended his hand and drew a simple talisman in the air.
“Hah!” With a faint shout, the talisman was thrown in between the railings on the balcony.
A faint halo spread out.
This was a skill he had obtained in the Nightmare World.
Name: Drawing Talismans.
Although it was only level one, he could copy simple basic talismans and store them in his core. When needed, he could use psionic power to cast them out.
With his current strength, he could only store three talismans at most.
But this was enough.
This meant that he was no longer a commoner.
But a transcendent being who had strength!
Knock knock knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Huang Qin walked over and opened the door.
A young female police officer appeared in front of him.
“Hello!” The officer took out her ID. “Federal Empire’s Blackguard!”
Huang Qin was stunned. “Blackguard?” He recalled the grand broadcast he had heard in Nightmare World.
“The global Nightmare organization Blackguard has been established!”
“All participants of the Nightmare game can submit their application to the founder of the Blackguard, Li Shouyi!”
The female police officer said, “Yes!”
“We are the official agency responsible for handling all matters related to transcendent beings in the Federation!”
“You can treat us as the fabled ‘Dragon Group’!”
Huang Qin gulped and asked, “Then may I ask, why are you looking for me?”
The female police officer said, “It’s like this… Our psionic power monitoring system detected signs of you using psionic power…”
“I’ve already checked… You’re not a registered transcendent being…”
“So…” The female police officer smiled and asked, “You’re a user of the Legend of Nightmare?”
Huang Qin nodded sheepishly.
The other party immediately took out a form skillfully and handed it to him, saying, “Then, please cooperate with us and fill out this form…”
“In addition, according to the Federal Empire’s transcendent beings and Otherworldlings Protection Act, I will inform you of your jurisdiction and matters that you need to take note of within the Empire’s borders…”
Huang Qin took the form and looked at the female police officer. Thinking of the other party’s words, he asked, “You guys can control everyone’s transcendent state?”
The female police officer laughed. “Of course!”
“To protect the safety of the people, especially civilians!”
“The Blackguard is authorized to use any means!”
“Including, but not limited to, monitoring all psionic power and transcendent beings…”
“And having the authority to enforce the law in the realm of the transcendent beings!”
Huang Qin listened and did not ask anything else.
This was because such an organization would definitely exist in the Federal Empire, which was a unified system.
Moreover, from the tone of the female police officer, he could hear some terrifying information.
That was, the Blackguard might very well have the authority to kill!
Those who disobeyed would die!
As expected, the conversation after that proved all of this.
The female police officer started to update him on the law.
The main thing was to inform him that, according to the law, all extraordinaires and foreign species within the Federal Empire must register and report their whereabouts, magic art usage, and cultivation situation to the Blackguard on time.
At the same time, he was also told that if he failed to report on time and effectively…
He would be sent to prison once he was found out.
Before leaving, the female police officer also left behind a large tome.
It was the ‘Protection of Extraordinaires and Foreign Species Act of the Federal Empire’ that she had mentioned.
This act had over a thousand pages. When he flipped it open, it was filled with dense clauses.
On the title page, there was a line that made him tremble in fear.
“If the use of strength is not restricted, then it will definitely lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong!”
“This act is based on this simple principle. It has been formulated and passed through the third reading of the Council of Ministers!”
“It is to protect the safety of all law-abiding people.”
“The executive vice-chairman of the transcendent being’s safety committee of the Cabinet of the Federal Empire, the Supreme Protector of the Supreme Court, the Commander-in-chief of the Blackguard, and the Minister of the royal family, Li Shouyi!”
And last night, the founder of the Blackguard who had made the announcement in the Nightmare world was also called Li Shouyi.
What did this mean? Huang Qin was extremely clear.
Even in the Realm of Nightmare, this Blackguard probably had the authority to enforce the law!
Thus, all the ambitions in his heart were instantly extinguished.
Transcendent beings could get everything they wanted?
Save it!
Even with spells and divine abilities, he still had to tuck his tail between his legs and act like a human.
That was because there was a stronger fist above his head!
But at the same time, the nervousness and fear in his heart eased quite a bit.
Since there was such a powerful official organization…
Then, it also meant that his power and status were protected.
There was no need to worry about the day when a person would suddenly come and capture him and plunder everything he had!
Putting down the large book in his hand, Huang Qin felt as if someone was peeping at him from outside the door.
He walked over and opened the door.
A pretty girl stood at the door with a lunchbox in her hand.
Looking at Huang Qin, the girl blushed and handed the lunchbox over. “Brother Qin, I made some dishes. I don’t know if they’re to your liking, though…”
Huang Qin took the lunchbox and smiled.
“Come in!” He invited her in.
The girl immediately cheered up, “Okay!”
…
Chu Weiwei sat in her office, countless thoughts running through her mind.
She carefully looked up at her team leader who was sitting in front of the computer, handling official business.
Several times, she wanted to open her mouth, but she swallowed it back down.
“Weiwei!” Just as she was hesitating whether to speak her mind, her team leader looked at her. “Why do you keep looking at me today? Is there anything wrong with me?”
Chu Weiwei quickly replied, “Nothing…”
“I was just thinking about that Realm of Nightmare…”
Li An’an put down what she was doing and said, “I was thinking about it too…”
“That Realm of Nightmare is very strange!”
Chu Weiwei’s immediately felt spirited when she heard that. She asked, “How is it strange?”
Li An’an said, “I saw it on the intranet…”
“According to the Blackguard’s current statistics, there are already hundreds of thousands of Nightmare users in the entire federation…”
“According to the investigation, most of the so-called Nightmare rookies’ first Nightmare World’s earnings are between 700-800 hp to 3,000 hp…”
“Oh?” Chu Weiwei asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with these numbers?”
Li An’an nodded. “Yeah!”
“The moment I entered… The so-called space said that I was a ‘VIP’ and gave me a 100,000 Point Certificate…”
“I looked at the current exchange rate…”
“The official price of the Point Certificate seems to have risen to 50 yuan!”
“Then isn’t the price of the Point Certificate in my hand already worth a few million?”
“So, I’ve been wondering about this…”
Chu Weiwei listened and lowered her head.
Of course, she knew why this was so.
But she didn’t dare to say anything, nor could she.
She could only ask with a smile, “Then, since you have so many Point Certificates, what did you buy?”
“I heard that the price of things in the Realm of Nightmare are plummeting!”
Li An’an nodded and said, “Indeed, I bought a lot of things!”
“Oh, right!” She took out a bottle of pills. “Weiwei, this ‘Crossdressing Potion’ is also sold in the auction house of the Realm!”
“And it’s quite cheap. 500 hp per bottle. There are ten pills per bottle!”
“I just casually bought tens of bottles…”
“Do you want me to share some with you?”
Chu Weiwei listened and shook her head with a smile. “There’s no need!”
However, she knew in her heart that she had sold those crossdressing potion at a high price previously.
For 1,300 hp per bottle!
Now, it had directly dropped to 500 hp!
This was probably because the Crossdressing Potion was a special silver rank potion. Even if she were to randomly throw it into the realm, it was still worth 400 hp.
Thinking of this, Chu Weiwei’s lips slightly curled up.
She had previously sold all the potions, raw materials, and scrolls that she possessed.
Looking back now, she had coincidentally sold them at their highest price.
So…
She had made a bloody profit!
Thinking of this, Chu Weiwei asked carefully, “Captain, did you go to that Nightmare World?”
Li An’an nodded and said, “I went to a place…”
“It was called ‘Food Hunter’ or something. It seems to be a world with Fusang’s background…”
“Mainly to eat…”
“It cost me quite a bit of Point Certificate!”
“The food there isn’t as delicious as Ping’an’s!”
Speaking of this, Li An’an said to Chu Weiwei, “Weiwei, I plan to return to Jiangcheng City in a few days during the holidays. I’m going to find Ping’an for a meal. You should come too!”
Chu Weiwei lowered her head and nodded. “Okay!”
She already knew.
The captain must have guessed something.
Li An’an put away the medicine bottle in her hand and looked at Chu Weiwei’s pretty face.
“I finally understand…”
“Why Weiwei refused to date Ping’an…”
“So, she’s also a closed beta player in the Realm of Nightmare… Also known as a ‘Participant of the Nightmare game’…”
“Both of them are afraid that something might happen to them in the realm…”
“Now… Since I know, I have to think of a way to bring them together!”
Based on her status as a VIP in the Realm of Nightmare…
There shouldn’t be any pressure to protect Chu Weiwei and Ling Ping’an.
Thus, she curled her lips slightly and looked at the computer in front of her.
On the computer screen, there was a web page.
She had just bought it from an e-commerce platform.
There were more than a dozen ingredients in the shopping cart.
Mutton, lamb kidney…
Deer penis, venison…
Of course, there were oysters, leeks, and beef bones.
She smiled and clicked to confirm.
She changed the delivery address directly to Jiangcheng City.
Then, she picked up her phone and edited a text message. She sent it over: Ping’an, I bought something online and sent it home. Remember to receive the goods!
…
Ling Ping’an was dozing off.
His phone lit up.
He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from his aunt.
He smiled and replied: Okay!
Then, he put his phone away and continued to doze off.
He was usually like this during the day.
He was half asleep, half awake.
This was his low metabolism mode, which could effectively slow down the changes in his body.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t go out again.
Even if he did, he wouldn’t go out far.
It was a bit dangerous for him to go out now!
He could only wait for the evolution of the insect swarm so that he could transfer some of the things that he had accumulated in his body.
Or…
Give birth to a child.
When he thought of giving birth, Ling Ping’an recalled some stories that he had read in books.
There were ancient mythical legends.
Such as stories about being pregnant in dreams.
He let out a soft sigh.
“Isn’t this a little too reckless?”
Theoretically speaking, a single glance from him now could make another person pregnant.
And it wasn’t limited to humans.
He could even do it to things that didn’t have any signs of life.
This was an instinct.
It was also a natural law.
As a high entropy body, he could give his entropy to anyone or anything he wanted.
However, the living thing that would get born might be a child.
But it was more likely to be a monster!
Thinking of this, he continued to fall asleep.
When he heard a knock on the door, he opened his eyes and saw a delivery guy.
“Hello!” The guy smiled. “There’s a delivery for you!”
Ling Ping’an stood up and opened the door.
The guy handed him a box with a thermal bag. “These are all fresh food!” The delivery guy smiled. “Please put them in the freezer as soon as possible!”
Then, he handed him a list. “This is your shopping list. There are all kinds of methods to keep your food fresh on it!”
“In addition, we can also provide you with a service to help you out!”
Ling Ping’an listened and was a little puzzled. “Is express delivery also providing such a service now?”
The other party smiled and said a little embarrassedly, “To tell you the truth, Young Master… We didn’t have such a service in the past!”
“But now… Our Chairman Liu said…”
“All the employees are family!”
“All the customers are our parents!”
Ling Ping’an blinked his eyes. Wasn’t that what bosses in the past used to say?
The employees are our brothers, family, and relatives…
The customers are our parents, holy beings, and God.
However, if they were to encounter any problems…
The end result was usually that the brothers, family, and relatives would be thrown out instantly and become the scapegoats.
And the so-called parents of the employees would either be stomped out by statistics or placed in a situation where they would be at odds with the lower-level employees.
The other party seemed to have noticed Ling Ping’an’s doubt and explained with a smile, “This time, our Chairman Liu really took it seriously!”
“Our company is not only owned by all the employees now!”
“The management has even taken out most of their dividends and salaries and set up an ‘Employee Skills Training Fund’ and an ‘Employee Welfare Protection Fund’…”
“Now, all our employees work eight hours, with the five social insurances and one housing insurance as well as all the other benefits…”
“After work, we can choose to go to the company’s training courses, enroll in the professions we’re interested in, receive training from our mentors… Or we can go home directly…”
“So!” He bowed deeply. “Young Master, please believe that we really treat the company as our home now, and our customers as our parents!”
Ling Ping’an nodded and said, “Then your Chairman Liu is really a good person!”
The young man smiled brightly and said, “You’re right, everyone in our company says so now!”
Ling Ping’an smacked his lips.
He said in his heart, “At least… I have made some contributions to the world!”
