Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 559 Asking about the Heavenly Palace
After watching the group chat for a few minutes, Klein put his phone away and prepared to go to sleep.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the starting price for the P35 that Sand Gold promised me?"

Klein lay in bed, his right arm under his head, his brain, which was always unusually active before sleep, pondering this matter.

According to Sandstone himself, he was P45.

"P35... exactly what is that?"

"If I'm promoted to P35 as soon as I join the company, it probably won't be a very high position, right?"

…………

"May I ask the celestial palace, when will we meet again? My heart yearns to return, and I will leap over mountains and bounds..."

The phone rang, and Scott took it out of his pocket, glancing at the unfamiliar caller ID.

"Who is this?" He looked at his phone screen, wondering who had called him.

After arriving in this world, he had tried to contact the company, but each time he tried, he was unsuccessful, as if the signal could not be connected because they were in different universes.

Without thinking twice, Scott answered the call and brought it to his ear.

"Hello, who is it?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was Sand Gold's, which was both amused and slightly lazy.

"I am gold dust."

"Ah!" Scott was startled. "It's... Mr. Sand Gold of the Stonehearts?"

His mind raced, trying to figure out why Sand Gold would call him and how Sand Gold was able to contact him.

Although he didn't know how Sand Gold was able to contact him, nor did he know why Sand Gold was looking for him.

but……

Gold dust equals P45 grade, equals company executive, equals promotion and salary increase, equals one's imminent rise to prominence.

A logical chain quickly took shape.

Before Scott could say anything, the voice on the other end of the phone continued.

"Hmm, let me think, you are..."

"Oh, never mind."

"Anyway, I have a task to assign you now."

Scott's expression stiffened for a moment, then he quickly switched to a fawning tone.

"Yes, Director Sand Gold, please speak."

“Just kill yourself,” Sand Gold’s voice was very decisive.

"Huh? Wh...what?" Scott felt like he hadn't heard clearly. "You mean...that I should ally with you and fake my death..."

"What I mean is that you should withdraw from this Holy Grail War."

The gold dust interrupted Scott's speculation.

"Well... what you said might be a bit inappropriate..."

"Look at me, I was transferred to this desolate place and suffered for months. Now you want to wipe all my grades to zero with just one sentence? That's... not appropriate, is it?"

Scott's expression immediately turned very ugly.

"Director Sha Jin, no matter how far the Strategic Investment Department's reach is, it probably can't extend to our Market Development Department, can it?"

Sand Gold still didn't pay attention to what Scott said.

The sound of drinks being poured into a glass could be heard from the other end of the phone.

"I will help you improve your GPA, and you can be promoted directly to P27 when you go back."

Scott's expression immediately brightened.

"Oh dear, Director Sand Gold, what are you saying? It's such a small matter, why would you need to call me personally? I'll definitely handle this matter neatly and efficiently. Ah, I'll do it right away, and I promise I won't let you down, Director."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

A few seconds later.

First came the sound of a cup being gently placed on the table, followed by Sand Gold's still languid voice.

"very good."

Beep— The call was abruptly ended, giving Scott no further chance to flatter her.

As the call ended, Scott's expression turned grim again.

He stared at his phone screen for several seconds before picking up his company employee's sidearm.

Scott hesitated the moment the pistol was pressed against his head.

If he were to withdraw like this, it would mean that he had completely given up the opportunity to compete for the Holy Grail and the omnipotent wish-granting machine.

but……

Does he really deserve to compete with the Gold Mine Director and Estádio? And that terrifying ancient sun god...?

P27……

But he's a little afraid of pain...

By the way, it seems that if the Master dies, then the Holy Grail will also be withdrawn, and the effect of the war will be the same.

Scott hesitated for a moment, then looked at John, who was eating not far away.

He gritted his teeth and shouted.

"John, use a command spell to order me to commit suicide!"

After a few seconds.

boom!
Loser, out.

…………

170 Townsend, Queens, Klein's Room.

Klein suddenly seemed to sense something.

He produced a gold pound in his hand, flicked it upwards with his finger.

The gold coin tumbled up and down, quickly falling back into his hand, where he grasped it firmly.

Without even looking at the heads or tails of the coin, Klein already had the corresponding information in his mind.

Another group of Servants has left the stage...

Countless thoughts raced through his mind.

A few seconds later, he tossed the coin back into the Source Castle, having made his decision.

He didn't continue paying attention to the servant's departure. Using meditation techniques, Klein quickly entered a dream state.

He had a premonition that this might be his last time entering the simulated universe.

At the same time, he also sensed that the Goddess of the Night might have something to entrust to him, and he needed to be in top condition before going to see the Goddess of the Night on Wednesday.

As Klein's mind calmed down, he was able to sense that his consciousness first fell into silence, entered a dream, and then quickly broke free from the dream.

The surrounding environment changed and collapsed in an instant.

The bed frame shattered, the room vanished, and it seemed as if the whole world had been distorted.

Klein felt his body sinking rapidly.

Klein didn't open his eyes, but quickly assessed the situation.

This was the first time he had entered a simulated universe in a fully conscious state, and the feeling was strange.

Is this what it feels like to enter a simulated universe? But...

The spirit worms inside Klein attempted to analyze it.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was already inside the simulated universe.

It's a pity I still couldn't understand the structure of the simulated universe.

Klein shook his head, began to survey his surroundings, and tried to find relevant information about the area from its "history".

Soon, he understood everything.

He is currently on an unnamed planet filled with metal, amidst ruins shrouded in the setting sun.

Klein raised his head and looked straight ahead.

Before Klein, a sophisticated mechanical behemoth was slowly approaching him.
