Daily Summary: I'm a CEO in a Bizarre World

Heavy punches, leaps and crashes, twisting and deforming metal shelves... all sorts of frantic and ear-piercing sounds echoed repeatedly in this enclosed space.

Mai Xing unleashed another massive dust punch, but having become familiar with the attack methods of "Social Dust," "Mother of the Deep Nest" was able to easily dodge it, only temporarily delaying the attack.

However, with a big leap, it landed back on the path that Mai Xing had to take to move forward.

This forced him to fly to an adjacent shelf and take a longer route to continue his escape.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

First, the consumption of spiritual energy is enormous, and with his spiritual energy level of Sequence 8, he simply cannot withstand it.

Furthermore, the sealing artifact's 3-minute usage time is about to end, and the [cost of use] will inevitably erupt the moment its power is exhausted.

I will definitely fall into a state of weakness at that time.

When facing the pursuit of a Level 1 contaminated entity, even a momentary opening can be fatal.

"Isn't there any other way? Think, think quickly, there must be another way..."

Once again, Mai Xing barely avoided the "Mother of the Deep Nest's" venomous attack, and quickly began to exhaust his brain cells.

The most lethal seals or contaminants he can currently use are "social dust" and "the resentment of corporate slaves".

Secondly, there is the water tornado formed by the combined attack of "Wang Zhi Xu Gong" and "Shen Xu Ben Xu". Although the attack range is large, it is not easy to hit the agile "Deep Nest Mother".

The other sealed artifacts included were completely ineffective in this escape battle where the odds were stacked against them.

However, none of these four sealed items can currently delay the "Mother of the Deep Nest's" progress any further.

If only I could improve my strength...

Increase your strength... wait?!

Mai Xing suddenly remembered that Ye Lin had raised the "ethical separation" level from zero to "moderate impact" in an instant last night.

This must be the extraordinary power from the "Loan King".

Since it's a means of power...

Mai Xing remembered the new item she obtained from the [Wish Power Lottery]:

[Die-proof (Blue Rare): A transcendent ability acquired through multiple deep contacts, or with the holder's consent, permanently unlocked with mastery of its usage techniques. Can only be used on transcendents with Sequence 7 or lower pathways. (2 can be unlocked at Sequence 8)]

If Lin's mother were here, unlocking her [loan] ability and increasing the influence of "Social Dust" might buy some time.

Sigh, we should have thought of this before the battle; we overlooked it. It's because we lack practical experience and our pre-battle preparations were insufficient.

If she were still here... no, she can't be foolish enough to come back. At least one more person could live.

Just as Mai Xing was lost in thought, a water jet suddenly came from behind the adjacent shelf.

The Mother of the Deep Nest never expected that Mai Xing, who was already exhausted from running for her life, would be able to release a water tornado when she was not paying attention.

Just as it leaped into the air, it had nowhere to land and was hit by the water jet, losing its balance and crashing to the ground.

Wait, where did that waterspout come from?!

Not only was the "Mother of the Deep Nest" caught off guard, but even Max was completely baffled.

He looked in the direction from which the waterspout was coming.

A petite figure, glowing with the light of a flashlight, appeared at the far end of the road.

Even though they were quite far apart and the visibility was extremely low, making it impossible to see the other person's expression clearly, Mai Xing could still sense her determination and resolve from her posture.

It's Ye Lin.

Lin's mom, you're really something, I'm so sad!

"Come here quickly!"

Seeing the attack hit the "Mother of the Deep Nest", Ye Lin was overjoyed and ran towards Mai Xing while shouting loudly.

He knew that even if he returned, he would not be able to contend with the "Mother of the Deep Nest".

However, she had seen the water tornado that Mai Xing used and knew that it was made up of two sealed items, "Wang Zhi Xu Gong" and "Shen Xu Ben Xu".

I went so far as to use the "use now, pay later" feature again, raising the influence of both sealed items to "moderate influence".

Worried about Mai Xing's situation and driven by a burst of potential in a critical moment, he finally managed to combine the power of the two sealed artifacts, condensing them into a water tornado.

Without saying much, Mai Xing headed straight for Ye Lin.

A roar came from behind; it was the "Mother of the Deep Nest" that had been shot down.

A rapid, dense, and rapid "da da da" sound then approached him at high speed.

This speed far exceeded the limits of his control over "King's Hypocrisy".

The footsteps suddenly disappeared, and Mai Xing's heart began to pound even harder.

not good!

Sure enough, the next moment, a suffocating hurricane swept in from above.

The Mother of the Deep Nest leaped into the air and crashed down on him.

If hit, one would probably be turned into a pile of minced meat on the spot.

With this weight and speed, Mai Xing did not believe that the barrier formed by the "dust of society" could completely withstand it.

There was no other way but to give it his all.

Driven by the "king's empty respect," he forcefully flung himself away.

With the old force gone and the new force yet to arise, Mai Xing was unable to connect with the strong wind to lift him up again, and his body crashed heavily to the ground, his whole body aching.

At the same time, a strong gust of wind from behind sent him flying several meters. After he calmed down, Mai Xing felt a wave of fear.

Luckily, I dodged it; otherwise, I would have certainly died.

Just then, Ye Lin, who was running wildly, arrived. She quickly helped Mai Xing up and ran back the way they came.

She couldn't control the harmless gusts of wind like Mai Xing could, and could only rely on her legs to run.

At this critical moment, Mai Xing naturally wouldn't say something as pointless as "Why did you come back?"

"Does your lending platform possess any extraordinary ability to rapidly increase your influence?"

Mai Xing asked Ye Lin, not forgetting to manipulate the strong wind to help the two escape faster.

"Yes, I possess an ability called 'Use Now, Pay Later'."

Upon hearing this, Mai Xing was overjoyed and said, "Give me this extraordinary power."

"How can I give it to you?" Ye Lin asked in confusion.

"As long as you don't resist it in your heart, it's fine."

As Mai Xing spoke, he used the [Synchronous Death] skill on Ye Lin.

"it is good."

Ye Lin completely let go of all her defenses against supernatural powers.

Sure enough, a thought arose in her mind, warning that there was an external supernatural force trying to steal her [Borrowing] pathway power.

If she agrees, the other party will successfully steal it. If she disagrees...

"agree!"

Ye Lin responded with her thoughts.

Instantly, the text on the panel appeared before Mai Xing's eyes.

[Whether the "use now, pay later" feature from the "loan" category is included when the same ability is active simultaneously.]

Included!

[Use Now, Pay Later: Temporarily gain the influence of the sealed artifact. If the influence cannot be converted into reality before it expires, the influence will be lost, and the corresponding sanity points will be paid as a price.]

Upon seeing the description of the extraordinary ability, Mai Xing couldn't help but sigh.

This was the first time he had ever recorded a supernatural power that did not require him to pay a price in terms of sanity before using it, and the effect of this supernatural power was so strong that even if he had to pay a price in terms of sanity afterward, it was still much better than a sealed artifact.

If faced with a desperate situation, I will use it without hesitation.

Swish!Swish!

The sound of spitting suddenly came from behind them, and then Mai Xing and Ye Lin felt a giant net covering them.

It's a spider web.

The spider web also had extremely strong adhesive properties, firmly fixing the two people to the ground.

The Mother of the Deep Nest seems to have grown tired of this cat-and-mouse chase and wants to kill these weak humans before they can escape.

Mai Xing tried to break free with the wind blades, but the spider web was tough and sticky, and he couldn't cut it all off in a short time.

In that case, let me experience the power of the [borrowing] method.

[Loan King]! Dedicate your power to me!

[Use Now, Pay Later] Usage, Goal:

"The dust of society!"
