My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Just call me Lei Shuo, or Uncle Shuo is fine too."

“Alright, Uncle Shuo.” Po Jinglei said, “So where are we going next? Why aren’t we there yet…” Po Jinglei asked.

“I’ll take you to the place where she was born.” Lei Shuo gestured toward Yan Xi with his chin. “Then you will ‘permanently’ control her, and she will stay with you forever.” Hearing Lei Shuo’s explanation, a bold idea suddenly popped into Po Jing Lei’s mind. “So… even if we return to the main world of the Divine Oracle, Yan hope will still be there…” Po Jing Lei didn’t say it aloud, but thought to himself, his eyes glancing at the sleeping girl in his arms.

"In that case... I also have the responsibility to protect her... Sigh, it's not easy for a rough man like me." Po Jinglei subconsciously wanted to scratch his head, but suddenly remembered that both of his hands were busy holding Yan Xi.

Speaking of which... why would the system make such an intimate gesture?! (The Oracle's interaction settings are: players can make intimate gestures when the NPC is willing, but players cannot turn their thoughts into actions if the NPC is unwilling. Although this NPC... hehehehe...)

"We're almost there," Lei Shuo reminded him. Po Jinglei stood behind Lei Shuo and could vaguely see a small room through Lei Shuo's body.

"Um... Uncle Shuo, I wanted to ask, what will it be like after you take control?"

"Firstly, there's the improvement in rank. For example, absorbing ten-thousand-year-old lightning spirit could potentially allow one to directly break through to the fifth level of the ninth rank. However, using it to break the seal might consume that energy, so it might not actually improve one's rank."

"Then, Lei Ling can possess weapons to increase their power, and she can also use her own power to fight."

"Of course, there are many ways to subdue a thunder spirit. The first way is naturally for the thunder spirit to voluntarily sign a contract with you, which will undoubtedly allow it to exert more power. The worst way is to force the thunder spirit to sign a contract, in which case the thunder spirit you can control will not exert more than 10% of its original strength."

"Uncle Shuo, you know a lot," Po Jinglei remarked. The two had already entered the room. The path they had taken was like a maze with many forks, and they didn't know where the other paths led. At least this path led to the place where Lei Lingyanxi was born, which was this room.

"Eek... Lei?" Yan hope let out a soft moan, opened her eyes, looked at Lei in confusion, and then looked at the room she was in.

"Yan hope, do you still remember me?" Lei Shuo walked up to Yan hope, startling her so much that she widened her eyes and uttered a single word, "Dad... Dad!"

"Pfft..." Po Jinglei and Lei Shuo were both choked by the address and coughed uncomfortably.

"Cough cough... No, no, I'm not your father, but if you're talking about the first person to find you, that's right, I was the one." Lei Shuo coughed several times before finally calming down and said to Yan hope in a serious tone.

"Yes...yes...those were just made up by Sister Bei Hui..."

"What exactly did that girl Bei Hui make up?" Lei Shuo covered his head in pain, then sighed, turned around and walked to the desk in the room. He took out a square, rectangular piece of iron from the desk drawer. The surface of the iron was snow-white, and then handed it to Yan hope.

"Eat it."

"Huh?!" Yan hope and Po Jinglei exclaimed in surprise, "There are things in here that your Lei Ling Group needs to know. It will be better if we talk about it after you know them."

Upon hearing Lei Shuo's words, Yan hope hesitated before accepting the iron-like brick. She squeezed it, finding it incredibly hard, and began to doubt whether she could even bite it.

"This...should I just bite into it?"

"Yes, if you want to help the guy holding you, you must eat it." Yan hope looked at the brick in her hand with a conflicted expression, then looked up at Po Jing Lei who was holding her.

"Let's give it our all!"

"Don't force yourself..." Before Po Jinglei could finish speaking, Yan hope had already taken a bite. A miraculous thing happened: the originally hard iron block was easily bitten off by Yan Xi, chewed up easily, and fell into her stomach.

"Mmm! Delicious!" Yan hope's eyes seemed to light up as she took several bites and finished the small brick in no time.

"You may have to bear the pain for a while."

"Huh?" Before Po Jinglei could understand the meaning of the words, Yan hope suddenly frowned tightly, curled up in Po Jinglei's arms, looked extremely painful, clenched her teeth, and let out a series of low moans.

"Yan hope...you..."

"It's alright, don't worry. It's just the impact on your brain from receiving too much information. You'll be fine soon," Lei Shuo explained. Although he didn't know if Uncle Shuo misunderstood the word "soon," after about ten minutes, Yan Xi's expression improved slightly. At the same time, Po Jing Lei could also feel that the previously dormant lightning energy in Yan hope's body had begun to become active and could operate on its own, instead of requiring Yan Xi to use all her mental energy to control it.

"So, do you understand now?"

"What? That hurts..." Yan hope covered her head in fear, it seemed that the impact had a particularly strong effect on her.

"I'm talking about signing the contract, and it's about the person in front of you."

"Huh? With Lei?"

"Hmm." Upon hearing Uncle Shuo's words, Yan hope frowned, as if she was thinking about something, but her brows quickly relaxed, and she gave the two of them a reply.

"No problem, but what about the medium for drawing the contract?" Yan hope didn't care about signing a contract with someone, but was concerned about other things.

"Wait, Yanxi, shouldn't you be resisting?!"

"Why resist?" With those words, Yan hope left Po Jing Lei speechless.

"I'd be happy to be Ray's helper and stay by his side."

'What the heck?! An NPC confessing their love?!'

"That's Lei Ge for you! He won a wife just by playing in a competition!"

'If I could bring this wife back to the main world of the Oracle... oh my god, I'd be so envious of Lei Ge!'

"Wow, Lei Ge is amazing! 999999!"

Po Jinglei stared blankly at Yan hope, but Lei Shuo was much more decisive. He casually tossed the contract paper to Yan Xi, who glanced at it and somewhat awkwardly mobilized his lightning energy to form a contract that was almost identical, but with some differences in content.

"The memories that just flooded into my mind all say how to do it..." As if seeing the doubt in Po Jinglei's eyes, Yan hope explained.

Do you accept the contract?

"Um, Yan hope, are you really willing?"

“I’m willing! It’s entirely my own will—” Yan hope nodded vigorously.

"Alright then." Po Jinglei stopped hesitating and decisively clicked the confirm button...

[Contract Takes Effect]

86 Kitahara (5)

Cracks appeared one after another on the land of Beiyuan, and the originally black sky was completely dyed blood red.

"What is that?" Bei Hui asked in confusion, cautiously retreating several steps to keep a distance of more than ten meters from the crack that had just been torn open. Bei Yi, who was in the distance, had already survived the tribulation. Although he was covered in wounds and his clothes were disheveled, he could not hide the faintly restless energy within his body.

Soon, a dragon-like creature burst out of the crack and flew into the sky. It glanced around and then fixed its gaze on Bei Hui and Bei Yi.

"My lord, we have found the people of Beiyuan." It suddenly spoke. Just as Bei Hui was wondering who it was communicating with, a man dressed in purple and holding a jet-black staff stood on the dragon's head.

"Remember my words," Tianhuo said coldly. After the dragon nodded, it was not hard to see that its body was trembling slightly.

"Master, what should we do now?" Lai suddenly asked, though she had already possessed the staff.

"What else can I do but go find my old friends?" He used the Heavenly Fire Levitation Technique, slowly descending from the dragon's back to the ground, and looked at Bei Hui and Bei Yi not far away.

"Who are you?!" Bei Hui stepped back and questioned, but her legs had already gone weak.

"This...this is bad!" Bei Yi's expression changed upon seeing the scene before him. He rushed forward, grabbed Bei Hui, and quickly turned back to the town. Tian Huo did not intervene when he saw this. The giant dragon flapped its wings and charged towards Bei Hui and Bei Yi.

"Roar!!!" The dragon roared, spewing out a burst of dragon breath that engulfed Bei Hui and Bei Yi's figures...

Kitahara Headquarters —

"Chief...they've arrived..."

“I can see.” A burly man stood on the city wall, watching the scene outside the city. He was about two meters tall, shirtless, revealing his muscles that possessed explosive power.

The sky was now blood red, and a huge crack had opened up in the deserted wilderness. Countless 'monsters' rode giant dragons out of the crack, and the moment they reached the ground, these 'people' jumped off the dragons' backs without exception and looked towards the main city of the Northern Plains people.

"This must be it." A man who looked like Anubis from Egyptian mythology said to a man beside him who was completely shrouded in black robes, with an "F" on his head and holding a scythe. In a sense... they were two grim reapers.

“Yes,” said the leader of the F group, who wished to remain anonymous, as the blood-red sunlight flickered. “Today, I’m going to crush all those couples among the people of Kitahara…”

“Hey, wait a minute, have you forgotten what those adults said? Those who are willing to surrender will live, those who are unwilling will be killed…” said an old man with an extremely long white beard and a red magic hat next to the leader of the F group.

"But that person will leave on their own after completing their mission, right? At that time..."

“Aivot, this is disrespectful,” the man who looked like Anubis said sternly.

"As, I was just joking." Hearing As's serious voice, Aivo, who had been exuding murderous aura, awkwardly scratched his head and the murderous aura instantly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.

"This is the first and the last time."

"Alright~ Dence, what should we do next?" Aivo also dropped his initial demeanor and became nonchalant, speaking flippantly to Dence, their king.

“Aivot, this is disrespectful to me. I have the right to ask those freeloaders in the Elders’ Council to kill you.” Everyone laughed when they heard Dence’s words, knowing that Dence was just joking.

Dence himself has short red hair. Despite being an intruder, he has a friendly demeanor, but the murderous intent in his eyes is not so easily concealed.

The obvious group present were the invaders—high-ranking officials of the apocalypse. While the group was laughing and joking, the underlings dared not interrupt. However, the people of Beiyuan were already making tense preparations, and their elders had already recognized the origins of this group.

"It's the end of the world... Awei..."

"I can see it, Elder Xue." Bei Wei nodded, looking at these monsters who could have attacked but were instead holding back with a heavy expression.

"Why aren't we attacking yet... This is clearly giving us time to prepare..." The man known as Elder Xue's voice trembled, not because he was cowardly, but because among the living people of Beiyuan, only he had experienced the terror of the apocalypse. Most of the others had either died of old age or were killed in that disaster.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. From the day Beiwei inherited the patriarchship, the first thing he needed to know was the terror of the apocalypse, how much he should take it seriously, and also—not to confront the apocalypse head-on.

Even so, he still couldn't possibly know the true strength of the Doomsday Tribe. After all, written descriptions can never compare to actual observation. What Beiwei saw now was that there were at least three beings as strong as himself, and one stronger than him...

"Where is Lei Shuo? Has he been found?"

"I don't know, Chieftain, there's been no word from Lei Shuo at all..." Hearing the report from others, Bei Wei frowned. It had been ten years since Lei Shuo left the headquarters, but they still hadn't found the savior recorded in the secret manual...

"Elder Xue, I'd like to ask again, how...how did we get through that disaster?"

"This..." Old Xue lowered his head and recalled the past. Fear, grief, despair, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"I remember it was... just when we were about to be wiped out, a person appeared, and he was very strong..."

"With his own strength alone, he took control of the entire Doomsday organization and sealed them all underground in the Northern Plains..."

"Back then, the Northern Plains wasn't actually called the Northern Plains. Here, lava flowed and the heat was unbearable. But that person, through his own strength, forcibly transformed the entire scorching world into a land of ice and snow, and then set up a great array to seal away the apocalypse..."

"Then the adult who saved us disappeared, leaving only the time of the next apocalypse and information about the person who could save us."

“Is that so…” Beiwei murmured, “It seems we can only pray that our current strength is enough to deal with these monsters, and that Lei Shuo has already found the savior we’ve been talking about…”

"What's going on here?" Po Jinglei stood where he had come in, looking at the drastically changed world outside with a bewildered expression.

"It's over! The end of the world is coming!" Lei Shuo's expression changed, but Po Jinglei and Yan hope still looked confused.

At this point, Po Jinglei no longer needed to hold Yan Xi, since he had regained all his strength and could open his backpack and other things.

And even if the lockdown isn't lifted, it's not necessary, since the temperature is already quite hot... probably in the 40s.

"What is the end of the world?"

"I'll explain on the way. Follow me!"

"Wait...where's Sister Bei Hui?!"

"Don't worry, she has other people protecting her." Hearing Lei Shuo's words, Yan hope was temporarily relieved and followed Lei Shuo in the opposite direction. Along the way, she began to talk about the apocalypse.
