Chapter 784: Leah Becomes a Guardian
Da Chun quickly devised a strategy to deal with her, but not now. After all, there were advantages to not fighting monsters right now.

Then, it's important to maintain the mystique of astrology; even after it's finished, sit there for a while.

Just then, my phone beeped with a text message from Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, are you awake? Time to prepare breakfast."

Da Chun glanced at the time and realized it was already 7 o'clock!
Okay, let's play the mystery while we eat breakfast.

Da Chun replied: "I'm awake, and I'm hungry too."

"Okay, I'll have the delivery guy bring the food over right away."

Da Chun also took the time to go to the bathroom in the private room to wash up and relieve himself.

Then the delivery guy knocked on the door: "Brother Chun!"

"coming!"

When Da Chun opened the door, he was surprised to find that the deliveryman was pushing a cart again: "This? Is this breakfast?"

The young man laughed and said, "It's mainly because Brother Chun came back suddenly and in a hurry yesterday afternoon, so I didn't have time to do it. I'll make up for it this morning."

Da Chun could already smell the familiar aroma, and he was both amused and exasperated: "Okay, Mr. Zhou is so kind. I'll just make a small portion for lunch."

"Okay, Chun-ge, enjoy your meal."

Da Chun opened the plate, and sure enough, it was a nourishing oyster and sea cucumber set meal! Is she convinced that I'll be forced to hand over my "labor tax" every time I come home?
Yes, she guessed right!
Da Chun finished breakfast at 7:30.

When I logged on, I saw that Sila had returned and was squatting in the corner with the four young ladies, wearing a tablecloth.

Da Chun wanted to laugh. This had been a mystery for a full half hour. She must have been getting impatient.

Da Chun then announced, "The ceremony is complete!"

Xila immediately got up and came over to see: "What did the president find out?"

Da Chun generously showed her the magic crystal screen: "Lots of antiques!"

Sila smiled gently: "The president is truly amazing!"

The young ladies cheered, "Great! We'll be rich if we dig this up!"

Dig? That's in a secret chamber in another dimension, who could dig that deep? Come to think of it, maybe a high-level thief or treasure hunter could?
Da Chun should explain to the Ten Elders and try to lead them astray: "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. Astrological treasure hunting is related to the celestial fortune, so the effect is best when the stars come out at night. This is also the reason why I risked coming here at night. It's just too dangerous. Thank you for your hard work, Elders."

Sila laughed and said, "Oh, I see. Assisting the president is my responsibility, it's no trouble at all."

So, they moved on to the last remaining large jewelry store.

The process continued, and Lia successfully merged with the fourth clone in the secret room.

At that moment, Lia's excitement was palpable: "I feel..."

Da Chun got excited: "Are you about to advance to the initial stage?"

Lia exclaimed in surprise, "I've obtained the complete memory information! I feel like I'm going to become the guardian of Holy Emerald City! Let me integrate for a while, and don't call me if anything happens."

Guardian of the Ruins?
Indeed, just like how Plague Island is now empty, but that doesn't stop Southhill from continuing to be the Guardian. If Lia truly merged and inherited the memories of her four incarnations to become the Guardian, then these dozens of people in the treasure hunting camp should be considered the first batch of citizens, right? Although it's only the size of a small village, this camp is actually linked to the core projects of five border cities!
Excellent! Given my limited time, taking down one guardian and a few sand demons should be considered a successful deal with the most valuable targets in the city. This investment mission should be mostly complete. The remaining banks, mansions, and the like can be left for them to develop at their own pace.

The matter of the guardian deity involves Liya, so it must be a top secret and must be kept from the Ten Elders no matter what.

In short, although the matter was completed, the mysterious ritual still had to be maintained, so they just sat there for a while to test the patience of the Ten Elders.

Then, Da Chun switched to his alternate account. The alternate account finally quieted down, fast asleep on top of the reclining CEO. Then he saw a system message:

—System notification: You have obtained the fusion of Countess Ahemus's illusionary energy. Your illusionary rune mage class skill "Illusion" has been promoted to Grandmaster level. You have obtained the achievement rewards: Mana +84, Stamina +84, Health +84, Illusion Value +5000, and Illusionary Charm Inheritance.

Illusionary Legacy: When interacting with a succubus or spellcaster of the opposite sex who is proficient in illusion magic, you can quickly restore your illusion magic value and increase your maximum illusion magic value.

—System notification: You have obtained the power fusion of Countess Archimus. Your Void Wings and flight abilities have been greatly enhanced. Your Flight skill has been promoted to Master Level 10. Your Divine Craftsman-level module combination has fused Flight with the Druid class skill Hurricane, gaining the special skill "Wing Wind".

Wing Wind Technique: Allows the user to unleash a hurricane using their wings, directly boosting flight speed.

—System notification: Your possessing spirit, Earth Lotus, has fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive fatigue.

……

Holy crap! The last time Di Lian fell asleep was in a private room at a dance hall, when she fought five mercenaries all by herself! Back then, she was still a novice.

This time, she put all the effort she used on the five women into the CEO! I've been calling her "CEO" for so long, and only now do I know her real name.

Da Chun took another look at the results of the night. He had directly upgraded the Illusion Technique that Ai Meier had taught him to the Grandmaster level! The key point is that I didn't receive any sharing messages on my main account? It's probably because this skill is entirely driven by her power and cannot be shared.

Looking at this "Phantom Legacy," well... it seems rather FBl (a derogatory term for a certain type of person).

Then comes improving flight skills. Ultimately, both of these skills are life-saving abilities! Speaking of which, isn't this hurricane-assisted flight the skill the Sirens used when they first appeared? If so, then their mobility and survival capabilities are off the charts.

In short, given the CEO's current condition, it's not appropriate for her to sleep in the bathtub. It would be better to carry her to the sofa in the living room.

Just as Da Chun was about to pull away, the CEO suddenly squeezed her legs together and murmured as if in a dream, "Baby, don't go~~~"

Um... I've become a treasure?

Forget it, put it back. It's not leaving. That's fine. The alt account isn't in a hurry at all; let Earth Lotus sleep a little longer.

……

Da Chun had no choice but to switch back to the larger size, while Liya continued to rest.

Da Chun thought for a moment. He'd been busy since waking up at 5 a.m. and hadn't really rested much, so he told Ai Lian he'd take a nap. As for the Ten Elders, let them wait. They needed to be in awe of the ritual. They needed to keep them bored enough before they'd bother fighting monsters.

……

10 points.

Da Chun was woken up by Ai Lian: "Darling, Liya has synthesized into a Guardian God! She's now a beginner-level god!"

Da Chun's spirits lifted, and I knew it!

At this moment, Lia was surrounded by a golden energy flow, which was indeed very different from before!

Lia couldn't wait any longer: "Let's go to the camp and have a dream. It's 10 p.m., there should still be people sleeping."

That's right! A dream visit first guarantees mission success!
Da Chun got excited: "Okay, Ai Lian, we're going out. You keep an eye on that elder."

Da Chun glanced in her direction, then slumped onto the tablecloth and hung up.

Da Chun wanted to laugh. She must have been waiting for three hours since 7 o'clock. Three hours is hardly a ceremony. I'll just say it directly later: I was tired from staying up all night and went to sleep.
