Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Little Red Riding Hood skipped and danced around holding the puppet that the Immortal King had transformed into, and the scissors in her hand made cheerful clicking sounds in time with her dance steps.

A crisp metallic collision sound was heard, like the sound of a prank bell in a fairy tale, and the puppet body of the Immortal King began to spasm.

"Where should I start?" Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head and tapped her chin lightly with her fingertips, as if she was thinking about how to decorate a favorite toy.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth raised a sweet arc, "Ah! Of course, I have to deal with those extra eyes first! After all, a perfect doll only needs two beautiful eyes."

"Pfft!"

The Immortal King's eyeballs exploded like punctured balloons, but what splashed out was not blood, but colorful ribbons.

"No...no! This is impossible!" The Immortal King's voice finally shed its ridiculous disguise and turned into the previous voice.

His body was struggling to break free from the fairy tale curse, but with every bit of recovery, it became more twisted and deformed.

The left half of the face still looked like a doll, with its button eyes lifeless and the stitching pulling the wooden skin crookedly, like a failed work of a crude craftsman.

The right half of his face had already begun to rot, with the rotten flesh peeling off like melted wax, revealing the white cheekbones and dark eye sockets.

Little Red Riding Hood's smile gradually froze, and the sweet curve at the corners of her mouth slowly faded away.

She tilted her head, her eyes were freezing cold, like a lake that had been frozen for a thousand years, reflecting no warmth at all.

The scissors in his hand closed with a "click", and the crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the silent forest, like some kind of ominous countdown, which was creepy.

Shadows spread from under her feet, swallowing up everything around her like sticky ink. The colors of the fairy tale were eaten away inch by inch, and the world began to crumble.

The picnic blanket faded quickly, and the bright red and white checks turned as pale as ash; the cotton candy-like clouds disintegrated and fell down like burnt paper ashes.

Lin Yi could feel that the essence of this space was being wantonly manipulated by some force, just like a child roughly tearing a wet oil painting.

A strange buzzing sound exploded in his mind, and the scene in front of Lin Yi was like a video with the reverse button pressed.

The scattered clouds rolled back into the sky, the faded picnic blanket was once again dyed with bright red and white checks, and even the ashes floating in the air flew back into the sky against gravity.

In the blink of an eye, the world turned back into that colorful fairy tale paradise, as if the collapse just now was just an absurd nightmare.

"You can't look at these things for now~"

A sweet and innocent voice suddenly exploded in his ears, and the warm breath even blew Lin Yi's earlobe.

He shuddered violently, as if he was forcibly pulled out of deep water, and his chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.

A muffled sound suddenly exploded from inside the skull, and Lin Yi felt that his thoughts were violently interrupted.

It was as if someone suddenly closed the book he was reading, or as if the power to the projector was forcibly cut off, and all consciousness fell into darkness in an instant.

The broken images beyond cognition were roughly stuffed into the depths of memory, and finally firmly imprisoned by a chain.

Little Red Riding Hood spun back on tiptoe, and a perfect blood-red rose blossomed from the hem of her skirt.

Little Red Riding Hood's face, which was so close to her, was still as innocent as ever, but Lin Yi felt a creepy sense of disobedience.

Each of her expressions was precise and precise, but when put together they created a sickening sense of dislocation.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Little Red Riding Hood suddenly regained her lively tone, and the change was so fast that it was dizzying.

"It seems like there are a lot of interesting things in this world~" She hummed an off-tune nursery rhyme while accurately cutting off the excess organs from the Immortal King's body.

Every time a piece is cut, a cheerful snapping sound is made, as if one is trimming away unnecessary branches in the garden.

Soon, a perfect rag doll took shape in her hands, and the cut parts turned into colorful confetti floating in the air.

[Hint: Since the hunter's summoned creature 'Little Red Riding Hood (clone)' killed the Immortal King (clone)', the hunter obtained 20.1% of the source of the world, and a total of 55.9% of the source of the world. ]

[You obtain the Secret Book: Immortal King (a treasure chest item that can be embedded in the Secret Book).]

[Yes/No to embed the Secret Book·Immortal King into the Secret Book. If the embedding is completed, the hunter can obtain 1500 Secret Book merit points. ]

[Tip: Since the hunter has killed the Immortal King (clone)', the Mad King's Shout growth rate +1. ]

A series of prompt sounds appeared in Lin Yi's ears, but Lin Yi had no time to care about them now. The flame of the soul was burning fiercely in his spiritual world, burning away the invisible pollution bit by bit.

This is just a projection of Little Red Riding Hood. The fragile rules of this world are simply unable to support her complete form.

Just like the former Maosheng of Madness, Candle Lady and the Lord of the Old Ones, Little Red Riding Hood has completed her final transformation and become an alien being wandering in the middle of the world.

As a newborn alien being in the void, Little Red Riding Hood still retains the aura of this era, just like the afterbirth remaining on a baby, which allows her to stay in the void for a short period of time without being rejected.

But when the era ends, Little Red Riding Hood will be expelled to the "bottom of the world" like other alien beings.

It is the lair of alien beings and creatures from the abyss, the graveyard of chaos and order.

Any life form below the ninth level would be corroded by the intertwined laws of chaos just by approaching that area, and would either turn into deformed monsters or directly disintegrate into the most basic particles.

"This is for you."

【Little Red Riding Hood’s hand-sewn hat】

quality:? ? ?
Type: Consumables
Effect: After using Little Red Riding Hood, the hunter can summon Little Red Riding Hood's clone.

score:? ? ?
Selling price: Luck value +2, Soul strength +5.

Although this hat is very similar to the prop that Lin Yi just used, the content has obviously changed. The most crucial point is that the part that may cause Little Red Riding Hood to attack Lin Yi has been removed. This means that Lin Yi has now gained the recognition of Little Red Riding Hood.

"Looks like the time's up." After Lin Yi took the hat from Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood's body began to dissipate.

This time, Little Red Riding Hood's existence time is calculated based on Lin Yi's intelligence, and three minutes is already the limit.

“Well, next time you encounter something fun, remember to call me.” Little Red Riding Hood waved at Lin Yi, and the second half of the sentence turned into a string of meaningless nursery rhymes, and she completely dissipated in the distorted air.

The castle and ribbons around Lin Yi also disappeared into the air without a trace.

It was at this time that Lin Yi noticed the hint of the Samsara Paradise. Looking at the secret book of the Immortal King, Lin Yi naturally would not embed the secret book of the Immortal King in the book. The value of this thing was too high.

You should know that even the most expensive demon treasure in the secret library only has 500 secret book merits, and the gap between the two sides is as much as three times.

However, perhaps because the Immortal King's arrival caused most of the contractors' missions to fail, many items in the exchange shop are still there at this moment.

Lin Yi took a quick look and found that the first one, [Demon Treasure House] was still there. After all, this thing required the most merit points, and it was quite difficult for ordinary contractors to collect so many secret merit points.

Looking down, the two secret cards [Desire] and [Mastery] had already been taken by someone else, leaving only [Plant Essence] hanging alone on the list.

Lin Yi took a look at the secret book cards in his hand. After excluding the extremely high-value secret book card of the Immortal King, the total amount of secret book cards on Lin Yi's body was almost 1200 secret book merit points.

These merits mainly came from small secret cards of 5 and 10 points, which were all spoils of the recent bombardment of Graystone City.

According to the calculations of Samsara Paradise, the demons that fell at the hands of his soldiers also had a certain chance of contributing secret code cards to him.

Although the value of a single card is insignificant, the accumulation of quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes will eventually result in a considerable number.

After embedding all the cards except the Immortal King's, Lin Yi obtained a total of 1270 secret merit points.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi directly exchanged the [Demon Treasure House] and [Plant Essence] from the treasury.

[Hint: You have obtained the Secret Card Demon Treasure House. Demon Treasure House Basic Reward: Soul Crystal (Complete) 5, Upper Limit Reward: ??? .]

[Hint: You have obtained the Secret Card Plant Essence, Plant Essence Basic Reward: Undead Wine (Permanent Gain Potion), Upper Limit Reward: ???]

After exchanging the two most expensive secret books, Lin Yi continued reading.

Soon, a [Traitor] priced at 368 merit points caught his attention.

[Traitor], requires 368 points of secret merit, basic reward: gold suit (random attributes), upper limit reward: ???.

After obtaining the secret book [The Betrayer], Lin Yi only had 2 points of secret book merit left.

Turning to the last page of the exchange list, Lin Yi exchanged the last 2 points of merit for 4 Paradise Coins.

Seeing that there was still some time before his return, Lin Yi decided to open the few secret cards in his hand here first.

[You have opened the Secret Card Demon Treasure House]

[You obtain Soul Crystal (Complete) x 8. ]

[You get the Universal World Key.] [Universal World Key]

Introduction: The door to all worlds opens with a single thought.

Selling price: ???
It is worthy of being the number one secret book, the things that come out of it are really good. The value of this key far exceeds his expectations, especially for those contractors who pursue special inheritance, it is simply a magical weapon that can change their destiny.

Taking himself as an example, he only needs to focus on the idea of ​​the Abyss Physician inheritance when activating the key, and the key will automatically lock the world coordinates where the relevant inheritance exists.

[You have opened the secret card Plant Essence]

[You obtain Undead Wine (permanent benefit potion).]

[You obtain the Essence of the Undead (special material) x 3. ]

Introduction: No necromancer would not be tempted by this thing, unless he cannot afford it.

Selling price: 310000 Paradise Coins

Lin Yi didn't expect that such a good thing as [Essence of the Undead] could be found in this treasure chest. Needless to say, this thing is a must-have for the Necromancer.

Although most Necromancers move in large numbers, in most cases they summon several elite monsters to act as guards around them.

For a necromancer, strengthening an elite summon is equivalent to having an extra life-saving trump card.

However, the material [Essence of the Undead], which can permanently strengthen elite summons, is often out of stock in the market.

[You have opened the secret card Betrayer]

[You obtain the Eternal Night Hunter (Legendary Set) (3/3). ]

Rating: 521
Synopsis: "When the stars fall, the bullet is the only truth." -Best.

A very powerful legendary set for the firearms profession. Although the firearm contractors enter a period of weakness after entering the fourth stage, this does not mean that the firearms professionals are not strong. Their only problem is that their survivability is too weak and they are easily sniped by the enemy at close range or from a distance.

In battles above level 4, most of the professions, whether melee or magic, have mastered the defensive measures against long-range attacks, which greatly reduces the fire suppression effect that the gun professions are proud of.

Because of this, most gun contractors will choose to transform after being promoted to the fourth level.

The technology department has become the most popular choice because of its best compatibility with firearms - it can retain some shooting expertise while obtaining life-saving measures such as mechanical armor and energy shields.

But if you can continue on this path, then the firearms department will also be a very terrifying profession in the later stages.

Then only the Immortal King, the only secret card left to be opened.

[You have opened the Secret Card: Immortal King]

[You obtain Soul Crystal (Complete) x 10. ]

[You obtain the bloodline of the ancient ghost (job transfer item).]

[Ancient Ghost Bloodline]

Origin: Phantom Continent

Type: Bloodline/Professional Item
Effect of use: After using the ancient phantom bloodline, the contractor's race will be changed to phantom.

Tip: Users can go to the Career Potential Activation Center to optimize the bloodline.

Introduction: Undegraded ghost bloodline.

[Ancient Phantom: High survivability, melee characteristics, has a small amount of mid-range combat ability, and can obtain a small amount of attribute value by devouring elite creatures. ]

[Professional potential: B- (bloodline/professional inheritance item, potential is E~S+). ]

Although Lin Yi is not sure about the professional strength of the Ancient Phantom, it can be seen from the professional potential that this thing is definitely a good thing.

You know, most of the job transfer items will not mark the potential level, and the only similar marking Lin Yi had seen before was on the job transfer items obtained in the Dark Crow Continent.

After opening the secret card, Lin Yi looked around and chose to return directly.

About an hour later, the 500,000-strong army of the Zul Empire poured in like a tide, completely blocking the entire area.

The army launched a carpet search, and after a full day, all the intelligence was urgently sent to the Parliament Palace in Zur City.

As Harold flipped through the battle reports presented to him, his face aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, his wrinkles became deeper, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

The losses in this battle were far beyond expectations - 50,000 elite soldiers were killed, General Bernal was killed in battle, and the whereabouts of Vice President Lin Yi was unknown.

To make matters worse, the parliament was already having difficulty operating due to vacancies in its seats, and now the imperial top brass was completely caught in a power vacuum, and the entire Zul Empire was once again thrust into a turbulent political vortex.

However, all this... has nothing to do with Lin Yi anymore.
