Ye Chuan returned.
He covered his eyes and groped his way back to the sofa, leaving Lan Xiaoke completely bewildered.
"Ye Chuan, what are you doing?"
Ye Chuan kept his eyes closed, his hands fumbling for his phone. After fiddling around for a moment, he asked, "Where is my phone?"
"Your phone is underneath you; that's my backpack."
"It's fine, just checking what's within reach."
After fumbling a bit longer, Ye Chuan pulled his phone out from underneath him. Then, with trembling hands, he slowly opened his eyes—
[Enhancement +15 Human Emperor Banner: Successful!]
The text on the Human Emperor Banner had turned gold. The dazzling +15 number stung Ye Chuan's eyes, making him feel faint, as if he were seeing things.
"Hiss."
Ye Chuan closed his eyes again.
Did my luck actually turn around?
He opened his eyes once more. Seeing that it really was +15, the corner of his mouth twitched first, followed by a wide, ear-to-ear grin. "Heh heh, hahahahaha!"
"Hahahaha, I did it!!!!"
"Hahaha!"
Ye Chuan's sudden burst of laughter stunned Lan Xiaoke, who was sitting nearby. She reached out and touched Ye Chuan's forehead. After confirming he didn't have a fever, she looked even more confused.
"A-are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm great." Ye Chuan looked at his +15 Human Emperor Banner, then glanced at the stats for +16. merely looking at it, he felt pierced by its dazzling allure.
No, do you want to lose it all?
Ye Chuan forced himself to calm down. This time, he really calmed down. To prevent himself from making a mistake, he directly closed the enhancement interface.
At this moment, Ye Chuan was covered in hot sweat. The two consecutive successes just now had given him an unprecedented rush of excitement.
22% of 22%... that's a probability of less than five percent, yet he actually succeeded.
"I feel like with my current combat power, sweeping through the Azure Cloud Sect shouldn't be a problem, right?" Though, to be fair, Ye Chuan didn't know the specifics of the Azure Cloud Sect's foundation.
Surely they couldn't have a Tribulation Transcender, right?
After Ye Chuan had completely settled down, he silently glanced at the Demon Sword Beiyana, which had reset to zero, and then looked at his account balance.
Hmm...
Drained dry.
"I'm broke." Ye Chuan hadn't expected it to cost so much money.
There was no helping it. Fortunately, the money Ye Chuan had on hand was enough to get the Demon Sword Beiyana back up to +10, which would have to suffice for now.
"That's about it. Next, I need to clear the remaining Eerie World and grab a wave of rewards." Ye Chuan felt he was being a bit too diligent.
But he couldn't help it; he was just that hardworking.
[Eerie World — Death Train]
[Note: This adventure world is dangerous and contains special powers. Upon entry, no skills can be used.]
This description was exactly the same as the Aphasia Academy.
Could there be another top-tier red grade treasure inside?
Although it said no skills could be used, in reality, because of Ye Chuan's Chaos Indestructible Body, he could still use them—especially since Ye Chuan's strength was even greater now.
Fortunately, the spatial inventory function was always usable. Just to be safe, Ye Chuan prepared a few extra items for himself.
Things like a revolver with infinite ammo, a hoverboard for aerial flight, and an air cannon for clearing crowds. Seeing a backpack full of weapons, Ye Chuan finally felt he had nothing to worry about.
Besides, he had plenty of weapons, and the forging function allowed him to craft one on the fly if needed.
However, what surprised Ye Chuan was that this time, upon entering the Eerie World, an assistant interface appeared.
[+]
After Ye Chuan saw the plus sign, he tapped on it and found several avatars popping up inside. They were his tenants. He was a bit surprised to see Bai Qianshuang's avatar among them.
I can bring people in?
Is this a team mode?
"But why are they all gray?" Ye Chuan looked at the avatars and found that only Ye Yue and Lan Xiaoke's avatars were in normal color, while Bai Qianshuang and the others were grayed out.
In other words, only his sister and Lan Xiaoke could enter the Eerie World?
Thinking about it carefully, these two did have connections to the Eerie World.
Lan Xiaoke's previous incarnation was a ghost, corresponding to Lan Xiaoke's shop, which was also the place where keys to the Eerie World spawned. Ye Yue, on the other hand, had come out of an Eerie World originally.
"Ye Yue or Lan Xiaoke..."
If that world prohibited the use of skills, Lan Xiaoke would undoubtedly be a burden.
Her combat power was already poor; if she couldn't use skills, wouldn't she be pure cannon fodder?
As for Ye Yue, he wasn't sure about her specific combat power in other Eerie Worlds, but at least with that monster-like physique of hers, it was unlikely she would drag him down.
"In that case, I'll take Ye Yue." Ye Chuan selected Ye Yue, only to find a new prompt popping up.
[Note: This tenant cannot enter. Repelled by eerie power.]
"..." Ye Chuan was rendered speechless. What did that mean? He couldn't take Ye Yue inside?
Then take Lan Xiaoke?
Ye Chuan turned his head to look at Lan Xiaoke. The cowardly girl tilted her head and blinked. "What? Do you want some milk?"
"Forget it, too useless."
Lan Xiaoke: "OvO?!"
What the hell?!
In the end, Ye Chuan chose not to bring anyone and to go in alone.
Whatever. Eerie World, launch!
[Holographic Adventure in progress—]
[Enemy Unit appearing: ?]
[Obtainable Items: Spirit Essence, ???]
[Death Return]
[Danger]
[Special Restrictions: Skills, Spells, Magic, Items... cannot be used. Due to the influence of the Chaos Indestructible Body, most can continue to be used.]
Chaos!
[Special Effect: Under the protection of Lilith Ann, you have ignored the influence of pollution.]
His vision went black, and Ye Chuan's consciousness began to be stripped away.
...
...
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chuan's consciousness began to gradually clear. At this moment, he couldn't see anything in front of him, but he could hear the sound of a train moving in his ears.
The sound of wheels frictioning against iron rails was rhythmic, though occasionally there was a piercing screech.
As his consciousness sharpened, the scene before him gradually came into focus. Ye Chuan remained silent for a moment, noticing that he was sitting on a seat.
The seat was made of cloth and carried a faint smell of blood and rot. Beside him was a window. The surrounding environment was very dim and permeated with a dark red hue.
The lights overhead flickered on and off, emitting a weak red glow, which was the source of the ambient dark red atmosphere.
Ye Chuan noticed that his spiritual sense couldn't be released; it seemed to be blocked by something. However, this wasn't anything strange.
"..."
Ye Chuan stood up and observed his surroundings. "Is this the Death Train?"
Since he didn't have intelligence on this Eerie World, Ye Chuan chose to observe the surrounding environment first, and the window beside him was the key point—
At this moment, the train was still moving forward. The scenery outside the window was a mass of red-black fog; he couldn't see what was out there at all.
Ye Chuan rubbed his eyes. A sudden stinging pain shot through his brain. When he came back to his senses and looked out the window again, he found a beautiful landscape of mountains and water.
The surrounding red light had also vanished, replaced by a normal train environment.
Ye Chuan: "..."
