Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After Lin Yi received a reply from Samsara Paradise, he conveyed the final decision to Raglan Dimos.

There are numerous factions within the Gilelyu family, and the power structure is complicated.

Although Raglan Dimos represents the main force, the attitudes of other factions have always been ambiguous.

Lin Yi knew very well that if he gave in at this moment, the pattern of interest distribution would be reshuffled.

The main bloodline may not be affected too much due to its solid foundation, but those branch bloodlines that are already short of resources will probably face an even more severe survival crisis.

Given their vengeful nature, if those guys knew about this, they would definitely destroy this cooperation at all costs.

"Let's sign the contract." Then, a contract with the mark of the Paradise of Reincarnation appeared between the two of them.

Raglan Dimos took the contract, his eyes moving back and forth between the clauses, carefully considering every word.

The moment his family mark finally fell on the contract, the sky of the entire Void City suddenly darkened.

In an instant, the entire void seemed to be shrouded by some supreme will.

The deep darkness was not an ordinary night, but an absolute nothingness that could swallow even the starlight.

In this suffocating darkness, a huge dark red mark slowly emerged - "ф", with ominous dark flames burning on its edge. It was the symbol of the reincarnation paradise!
The terrifying pressure poured down like a substance, and the entire Void City fell into an eerie stillness at this moment.

The pedestrians on the street stood still with terrified expressions on their faces; even the falling dust froze in mid-air.

This absolute silence lasted only for a moment before being broken by exclamations one after another.

"The mark of the paradise of reincarnation?!"

"Damn... How did they leave a mark here?!"

"Quick! Notify the head of the family immediately!"

Inside the Void City, the faces of the spies from various major forces changed drastically, and they activated their communication methods one after another to report the news urgently.

The mark of Samsara Paradise rarely appears publicly in the void. Every time it appears, it means that a certain force is about to be completely wiped out, or - an event big enough to shake the void is about to happen!
Raglan Dimos looked up at the sky. Although he had expected that the signing of the contract would attract the attention of Paradise, the strange sight before him that covered the sky still exceeded his expectations.

"It seems that Paradise takes this cooperation... more seriously than we thought." He murmured in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy.

[The contract has been confirmed, resource point 5867 is officially under the jurisdiction of Samsara Paradise]

[Warning: Abnormal energy fluctuations detected]

[Coordinate point——Outskirts of resource point 5867]

[Energy signature comparison completed: suspected involvement of dark star forces.]

[Threat Level Assessment: Grade A]

[Command update: Clear all hostile units and ensure control of resource points]

As the mission reminder sounded, the three bodyguards behind Lin Yi simultaneously received the call for the Samsara Paradise.

[Emergency Mission: Clear Out the 'Dark Star' Forces]

[Objective: Ensure control of resource point 5867 and annihilate all hostile units]

[Warning: Target danger level——★★★★ (high risk)]

"Tsk, Paradise is quick enough this time." Wu Chen whistled casually, and his knuckles made a crisp popping sound.

The pair of eyes that were always half-closed were now fully open, with scarlet blood flowing in the eyes, like a shark smelling blood.

'Dark Star' is also a notorious organization in the void. Unlike other underground forces that pursue profit, this group of lunatics regards madness as commonplace.

The ancient gods of the Falling Planet invaded the world in order to increase their own strength. Although their methods were too cruel, they at least followed the survival logic of devouring evolution, which everyone could understand.

But the 'Dark Star' guys are different. They just do whatever they want, and their code of conduct seems to be drawn up by ten thousand mental patients.

They claim to believe in the teachings of the Void Swordsman, but in reality they behave more like abstract artists who have taken too much Dream Dust.

The last time these lunatics visited a planet, they carved the entire planet into a hollow skull, calling it "Hymn to the Void."

After Raglan Dimos learned that Dark Star had targeted resource point 5867, he immediately contacted other forces within the family. As soon as Raglan Dimos's communication crystal was connected, a noisy quarrel was heard in the projection.

In the projection screen, the meeting hall of the Gilelyu family was in chaos.

"Raglan! How dare you sign a contract with Samsara Paradise without permission?! Resource point 5867 is a shared asset of our family!" An old man with white hair and beard slammed the table and stood up, the anger in his eyes almost turning into substance.

"Third Elder, calm down." Another middle-aged man in a luxurious robe said in a deep voice, "Since Raglan dared to do this, he must have his considerations."

"Considerations? What considerations could make him give away 50% of the family's profits?!" The third elder sneered, "I think some people want to consolidate the main lineage and even give up the family's foundation! A full 50% of the profits are just given away for nothing?"

Raglan watched the farce quietly, his icy blue eyes showing no ripples. When the quarrel died down, he spoke slowly, "Everyone, if you think you can handle the threat of Dark Star on your own, you can send someone to take over resource point 5867 now."

The conference room fell silent for a moment.

"Dark Star?!" The Third Elder's face suddenly changed. "Why would those lunatics target our resource point?"

"Intelligence shows that they have gathered outside the resource point."

"Humph! Even so, a 50% ratio is too much!" The third elder was still unwilling.

In the complex power structure of the Gilelyu family, although the faction represented by the third elder is of mediocre strength, it controls nearly 70% of the family's grassroots connections.

These intricate networks of relationships are the foundation of their existence.

Now that the contract has been signed, the first ones to suffer the brunt of the damage are the ordinary tribesmen who maintain the huge network of contacts.

And those core factions that control the talented young people naturally have ways to preserve their own interests.

Raglan swept his eyes across everyone present, taking in the subtle changes in the expressions of the representatives of each faction.

And at the moment when the mark of the Samsara Paradise appeared, dozens of dazzling rays of light tore through the clouds and fell like meteorites.

It has to be said that the Dark Star camp once again proved why they can sit firmly on the throne of "the most insane organization in the void."

After learning that the Paradise of Samsara appeared in the Void City, the Dark Star camp's leader, [The Laugher] Cozmo, not only did not retreat, but instead began to laugh crazily: "Hahaha! Paradise of Samsara? You came just in time! This time's artwork - let's call it "Funeral in Paradise"!"

Along with this crazy declaration, dozens of dark blue gravitational singularities suddenly lit up outside the Void City.

These artificially created microscopic black holes tear each other apart, distorting the entire space into an abstract vortex.

The ground crumbled like a fragile biscuit, and tens of thousands of tons of rock were thrown into the void, turning into a spectacular rain of rubble in the gravitational turbulence.

The Void City itself was not affected by the attack because it was suppressed by an alchemy array.

From a distance, the whole city looked like an isolated island in the eye of a storm, surrounded by twisted and broken space turbulence, but inside the city, not even the black tea in the cup caused a ripple.

Lin Yi sat in the Gilelyu family's residence and chatted with Raglan Dimos. After all, he was just a small fifth-level cultivator and wouldn't be able to help much even if he went outside, so he should not cause trouble for others.

About three hours later, the battle gradually stopped. Wu Chen, covered in blood, kicked open the door of the conference room, holding half of the still wriggling tentacle of the void creature in his hand. The sticky dark purple body fluids dripped onto the carpet, making an uncomfortable sticky "pop" sound.

"Done." He grinned, with dried blood still on his teeth, and a bit of madness in his smile, "But before those lunatics left, they buried a 'little gift' at the resource point."

Raglan Dimos stood up slowly, frowning slightly: "What gift?"

"A Void Aberration that is hatching. It will break out of its cocoon in about twelve hours." He paused, and a hint of amusement appeared in his smile. "The good news is that we discovered it ahead of time. The bad news is that it has completely merged with the mineral vein."

As the battle ended, Lin Yi also received the message that the mission was completed.

At this point, it has nothing to do with him.

Lin Yi stood up to say goodbye, but Raglan suddenly raised his hand and took out an object from his space ring - half of a rusty sickle fragment, with a faint cold aura still lingering at the edge of the blade.

Lin Yi's fingertips paused slightly, and the familiar fluctuations made him instantly confirm that this was Hill's companion weapon.

"Thank you." Lin Yi said briefly.

Raglan nodded slightly: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

After submitting the task, Lin Yi's figure gradually faded, and finally turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot.

Half an hour later, Lin Yi walked out of the attribute enhancement hall.

Strength: 112 (true attribute)
Agility: 111 (true attribute)
Physical strength: 111 (real attribute)
Intelligence: 112 (true attribute)
Charisma: 97
Basic attributes are something that cannot be rushed. They are the cornerstone of the combat system. Whether it is equipment bonus or skill enhancement, they ultimately rely on the increase of basic attributes to achieve the maximum effect. Unfortunately, there are very limited ways to improve this core attribute - except for some rare potions that are hard to come by, and special rewards at the world settlement, there are almost no other effective ways to increase it.

As for improving through daily exercise? That is even a drop in the bucket. Even if ordinary people practice hard for several years, they may not be able to increase their attribute values.

Back in his exclusive room, Lin Yi took out all the treasure chests he had obtained in the Black Throne Continent.

Looking at the epic treasure chest in front of him, Lin Yi did not open it directly. Instead, he placed the Goddess of Luck figurine solemnly on the table, and opened a new bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips and neatly placed them in front of the figurine. He clasped his hands together and whispered, "Goddess, I'm counting on you to open the box this time."

Suddenly, the hem of the figure's skirt moved without wind, and the bag of potato chips made a slight crackling sound.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up - it looked like he had it figured out this time!

The goddess of luck was pulling the sleeve of the goddess of fate, and the two of them were observing Lin Yi's every move through the barrier of time and space.

Originally, the Goddess of Destiny avoided the Samsara Paradise, a place full of danger. Even though she entered legally through formal channels this time, she still felt terrified.

If the goddess of luck hadn't held her tightly, the god of destiny would have escaped long ago.

"Destiny, come and see if the trouble with this little guy can be solved." The goddess of luck pointed at Lin Yi who was about to open the box below with her finger stained with potato chip crumbs.

The goddess of fate glanced at him casually, and her originally lazy expression suddenly froze, with a rare solemnity appearing between her brows.

"The power of dead silence?!" The voice of the goddess of fate suddenly rose, "What on earth did this kid do? How is he related to this forbidden power?" She stared at the gray-black energy like a venomous snake that was wrapped around Lin Yi's fate, and her temples were throbbing.

The goddess of luck was crunching potato chips and mumbling, "It was the last time he was in the Black Throne Continent, he accidentally stepped on the lair of the Origin of Death. Oh, don't glare at me! You know how difficult that thing is to deal with. If I hadn't run away quickly, we would have been entangled now!"

The goddess of fate looked at the goddess of luck in silence: "Do you have any misunderstanding about my ability?"

"Eh?"

"If I could solve the power of death and silence, the God of Immortality should have invited me to be a guest of honor. Why am I still a marginal god now?"

The goddess of luck touched her nose awkwardly: "Is there really nothing we can do?"

"I have no way to deal with this matter. He can only rely on himself to solve it. But it shouldn't have much impact in the short term. After all, what he came into contact with before was just the projection of the Dead Silence City, not the source of the hell - the Dead Silence City."

"Let's do it."

The goddess of luck curled her lips, threw the last piece of potato chip into her mouth, and at the same time gave Lin Yi a blessing.

At this time, Lin Yi had just opened two epic treasure chests without suffixes, and one of the treasure chests flashed directly.

[Grips of the Wild Beast] This pair of dark red gloves may look ordinary, and the equipment description only has a few words, but they are truly top-grade equipment.

For a contractor like Lin Yi who excels in skills, attack speed is the core lifeblood of the combat system.

However, most of the attack speed equipment on the market are either of too low grade or ridiculously expensive, and attack speed equipment of gold quality or above are even rarer. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi actually got one.

Just based on this equipment, Lin Yi dared to guarantee that all technical-type contractors above level six would be jealous.

As for [Embrace of the Lunar Eclipse], this potion can definitely be sold at a sky-high price in the trading market. Especially for those contractors who specialize in moon-related abilities, it can be regarded as a weapon for a life-and-death struggle.

After collecting the items, Lin Yi took out the treasure chest dropped by the Moon Girl.

Different from a normal epic treasure chest, the Moon Girl's treasure chest has a faint glow of the moon on it, making it look very extraordinary.

[The hunter has opened the epic treasure chest, Daughter of the Moon (80%). ]

Introduction: "This is the gift of the Moon Goddess, but also an eternal shackle - only by embracing the darkness can you glimpse the true moonlight."

——"The Last Notes of the Nameless Moon Priest"

Price: Soul Crystal (Large) x 4.

Lin Yi stared at the [Dead Moon] bloodline crystal in his hand, which was flowing with dark moonlight, and felt a biting chill at his fingertips.

It seemed as if a waning moon surrounded by black fog was sealed inside the crystal, and faint shrill wails could be heard.

The effect of this [Dead Moon] bloodline inheritance item is indeed very powerful, but it also hides a big pit.

Compared with the previous series of explanations, the negative cost at the end is the real pit.

The moonlight essence is not so bad. It is just a golden material and is not a very valuable item for high-level contractors, but the dead silence erosion that follows is the key point.

However, Lin Yi doesn't know how to use this thing. At most, he can just remind the other party when he sells it.

In the Samsara Paradise, powerful props often come with some side effects, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

For example, the [Ji Wang Sheling] that Lin Yi obtained in the last world is also very powerful, but the negative cost is also very terrifying. Those who dare to use it often have to pay a price to be exempt from the negative effects, otherwise they would not dare to buy it. (End of this chapter)
