Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"Yes, I think the same way you do. It's very likely that I brought it with me on purpose, intending to use it on the Steel Continent."

Li Xia nodded, although he didn't know anything about the Steel Continent, the Golden Embryo, or the two top guilds...

But after experiencing it all, and considering the unusual reaction from the Hall of Light, Li Xia could still vaguely guess what was going on.

It's highly likely that the Golden Embryo was severely injured by the Garbage Collector's proxy and then thrown into the fourth tier. The Garbage Collector, through some unknown means, obtained the authority to travel to this world.

They brought a huge amount of metal with them, and that unlucky seed, Kieran, even brought fruit.

As for what those metals were for, Li Xia felt they were definitely not the kind of super complex magic array that guided him from the Hall of Light.

I looked at the fruit's abilities for a while, especially its effects in the latter half.

Li Xia suddenly raised his eyebrows and slowly said:

"Is it possible that... the Garbage Collector wants to devour the Golden Embryo or simply take over it, perhaps through some kind of merging?"

"Devour the golden embryo? That sissy? Does he even deserve it?"

Aowu immediately shook his head. How could the golden fetus be so easily devoured?

In terms of status, he's far superior to that sissy Kieran.

"But occupying the golden womb..."

Aowu took a deep breath, looking at the function description: [Heal/Restore/Enhance Soul, can repair most soul lacerations, restore soul damage, and permanently enhance soul strength; can also calm soul fluctuations and conflicts.]

"That's actually quite possible! Wow, these people have such wild imaginations!"

If Zilean acquires the Gold attribute... it's like he's instantly elevated to an unknown level.

He can keep getting stronger as long as he consumes metal, given the junk collector's wealth...

Luckily, the boss snatched it away!

"So this fruit was also given by proxy?"

"Of course, with Kieran's strength, how could he possibly obtain the fruit?"

After weighing the options, Li Xia decided to put the fruit away, as its greatest use was repairing the soul.

Moreover, it has no fixed tier, meaning it's a consumable item with no level requirement, making it an absolute lifesaver when you really need it.

He reached his hand back into the crimson vortex.

Is it still possible to ship the goods?

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

I can only update frequently after the New Year; I probably won't have much time before then.

Because after the New Year, the little carp will go to kindergarten!

Take a day off

I've been really tired lately, so I'm taking a day off. I haven't taken a day off since my baby was discharged from the hospital.

This is a good opportunity to organize my thoughts.

I'll be updating like crazy again after the New Year!

Thank you for your support!

Chapter 3: The Void Battle!

Within the crimson vortex, small boxes collided randomly.

Li Xia simply scooped out three of them.

The three boxes were lined up in a row, and their lids popped open at the same time.

Two purple lights flashed simultaneously, and Li Xia was overjoyed. This garbage collector was actually so generous?

Who invented this little guild thing? It drops gold coins the moment you attack it.

After taking a closer look, I realized that these guilds dropped more than just one or two items for me, and they were all high-quality items!

As the purple light gradually weakened, Li Xia reached out and scooped up the white leather pants, then threw them away.

Then he looked at the other two purple lights. One of them was a consumable, a purple instant recovery potion that could restore 75% of health and injuries. It was quite practical. Starting from the mid-level, the value of this kind of medicine that could restore a large amount of health and injuries in a very short time was getting higher and higher.

The other object in the purple light was a piece of equipment, but it was rather strange.

【The Tightly Binding Ropes】

[Grade: Purple - Extreme Value (Tier 3)]

【Origin: Tier 3 - Temple of the Gods】

【Durability: 300/300】

Effective range: 132 meters (Spirit*2)

1. Binding

A tight rope can bind whatever one wants to bind, even things that have form but no form, such as lightning, clouds, and flowing water.

When bound, it will form a closed field, temporarily maintaining its physical form.

2. Zipline

The binding rope can fly out on its own and bind the object it wants to restrain. After binding, a judgment will be made (spirit + intelligence). If the judgment is not passed, the object cannot be freed.

3. Learn from

Once the binding ropes bind a living organism or energy body, they will draw energy from that organism or energy body to replenish themselves.

4. Repair

It can be repaired by consuming advanced energy after breaking.

[Introduction: The goddess of wisdom in the divine kingdom forged the famous Lasso of Truth, and similar imitations became popular throughout the divine kingdom.]

Apostles of a divine kingdom with sufficient power will do everything in their power to maintain the dignity of being a god, and this rope is precisely part of that dignity.

The rope has an excellent texture and appearance, which matches the style of the divine palace.

That's all about being super flashy. Regardless of whether it's practical or not, the design must be incredibly cool and high-end.

Therefore, this rope looks like it was made of gold threads twisted together, yet it has a texture similar to silk and the toughness of metal wire.

Faint streaks of light flowed back and forth along the rope, making the rope, which was about the thickness of a little finger, look exceptionally beautiful.

"So what's the use of this thing?"

Aowu clicked his tongue, unsure how to comment. It looked flashy, but the fact that it could tie someone up meant the other side wasn't as strong as the boss.

Other apostles might lose to those weaker than themselves, but how could the leader possibly lose? He's a well-rounded warrior, okay?

Li Xia was stumped by Aowu's question. Right, what's the use of this thing?

If someone can be tied up, they can basically be killed with a single shot. What's the difference?

"It seems to be of little use..."

Li Xia casually hung the rope on his belt; something was better than nothing.

The two little ones also opened their keys one after another. As expected, the items they got were mainly supplies and consumables, none of which were of very high level; they were the kind of supplies that were always available.

It's worth mentioning that the kitten extracted a halo and gave it to Aowu, because the little dragon often stayed timidly inside the dragon egg and didn't come out, which was quite safe.

[Vitality Aura]: Friendly units within the aura's range gain a small amount of health restoration.

The level is still low, but auras have one advantage: they are stable. Although they consume mana, the effect is still quite good when many auras are stacked.

After removing the keys, there's basically nothing else to worry about.

Previously, I used permission-related items to postpone the dungeon. This Iron Continent incident was just an interlude, a form of revenge.

Although it was short-lived, the returns were quite high.

The value of the true nature of the Golden Embryo is immeasurable. Compared to the hundreds of millions of Hall Points calculated previously, the value of the Golden Embryo has transcended the low-end measurement method of Hall Points.

Those extremely valuable metals were merely a negligible outward manifestation of the power of the Golden Embryo.

Moreover, at the moment the magic array sublimated, the Golden Embryo had already absorbed the metallic properties within the Valley of Origin.

Once they lose their extraordinary properties, those metals are nothing more than ordinary iron and not worth much money.

"Send a few of those metal ingots to Madaou to pay off the debt first. Oh, and send a couple more as a thank you."

Li Xia stood up and stretched his limbs:

"There are still a few days until the next dungeon run, and I don't have anything to do, so I'll just relax."

This temporary dungeon was perfect; it didn't increase attributes or take up any dungeon slots.

The harvest wasn't time-sensitive items like equipment, but rather high-end resource output.

I wish we could come more often.

The three little ones agreed and happily rushed out of the room to find their own fun.

Watching the three little ones walk away, Li Xia found himself in an unusually idle state.

Special disciplinary privileges are not a dungeon, but rather something like a short raid.

Neither the Time Chamber nor anything else was reset, nor was there any settlement.

Go to training?

What can we train...?

After thinking for a long time, Li Xia decided to stay in her personal space and watch the movie on a quantum screen that was comparable in size to an IMAX screen.

Quantum displays are a type of affordable and high-quality display used in high-end theaters. Simply put, they rely on nanometer-level pixels for imaging, and the display effect surpasses the limits of human vision. Even superhuman apostles can have a fairly good visual experience.

With its high-fidelity sound system and ultra-high-definition source material that's been professionally remastered, the viewing experience is superb.

The screen light shone on Li Xia's face, casting flickering shadows. In the vast personal space, only the sound from the speakers continued to play. The housekeeping robot sat to the side, brewing tea. He seemed to have not been this relaxed in a long time.

For a long time, he had been used to keeping his nerves on edge while traveling, used to risking his life in crises and running wildly in the unknown.

But at this moment, the giant screen is filled with flowing light and shadow, the aroma of tea is wafting, and the voices and melodies from the speakers are spreading out. There is no urgent mission, no deadly threat, and no destination that must be reached.

Humans are not perpetual weapons; they don't need to clench their fists or tense their spines all the time.

Taking a break now and then and being a couch potato isn't so bad, like taking a nap.

[Executioner, the Void Conquest Tournament is about to begin. You have qualified to participate. Would you like to join?]

Li Xia jumped to her feet, her eyes lighting up.

Forget lying down! Fight! It's awesome!

But... how did I qualify for the championship?

Li Xia was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that only the top three in the fourth-tier arena could participate, right?

Am I... the eleventh?

He opened the arena page, and his eyes suddenly widened.

It was hanging brightly on top:

Current ranking: 1

No, when did I become the chief?

Li Xia inexplicably opened the collapsed information panel, only to see that the arena had suddenly started refreshing messages a few seconds earlier:

[This round of the second world has ended. The original Arena Leader and Second Place are no longer in contention, and rankings are being promoted according to their respective positions...]

[Executioner, it has been determined that you defeated the former arena runner-up in direct combat, with a kill percentage exceeding 80%]

[Executioner, you have triggered the Arena's ranking substitution rules]

Your Arena ranking has been updated to second place.

[Executioner, it has been determined that you defeated the former Arena Champion in direct combat, with a kill percentage exceeding 80%]

[Executioner, you have defeated the top ten strongest in the arena]
