Chapter 697 - 57: Casino, Boxing Ring, Bar
In the latter half of the journey, the cabin of the entire law enforcement vehicle was as silent as death.It really wasn’t much different from being dead.
Feng Xiaozao was socially dead.
She was just thinking, with a slight physiological reaction, Shang Jianyue, like a human loudspeaker, mercilessly exposed all her inner secrets.
If this wasn’t a law enforcement vehicle, if she could violate the rules of Paradise without worrying about being held accountable afterward,
she would have jumped out of the car and buried herself in a rose field long ago.
Facing the situation, Han Zhan originally wanted to say something to break the awkward and stiff atmosphere.
His words were interrupted by another sentence from Shang Jianyue and swallowed back forcefully.
That other sentence from Shang Jianyue was: "The corners of your mouth curled up by 0.015 percent, you..."
Before Shang Jianyue could finish, Han Zhan snapped his fingers, and Heaven’s Origin Power conjured up a piece of tape to seal his mouth.
But in the next second, Shang Jianyue raised a small loudspeaker, and that familiar voice continued from the speaker:
"An eighteen-year-old girl with a perfect figure and appearance secretly has a crush on you, do you feel a little proud..."
In some ways, Shang Jianyue and Bob are actually quite similar.
With a "boom," the small speaker in Shang Jianyue’s hand exploded, and after the explosion, the cabin fell into prolonged silence.
Luckily, the journey from the town to Pure Beauty Paradise was neither too short nor too long.
After more than an hour, the law enforcement vehicle reached the entrance of Pure Beauty Paradise.
Here, many other enforcement vehicles were parked nearby, a seemingly common occurrence for Pure Beauty Paradise.
Gatekeepers of Paradise were stationed here, blocking the entrance to verify each person’s law enforcement credentials and identity information.
Han Zhan got off the law enforcement vehicle and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Finally, no longer needing to dig through that weird atmosphere anymore.
He looked straight ahead.
The gates of Pure Beauty Paradise were formed by two gigantic roses.
The roses were brilliantly vibrant, like two fiery clouds adorning the sky.
The view inside the Paradise was unseen, enveloped in a shimmering light membrane.
Many law enforcement vehicles were parked by the roadside, with officers dragging detainees out of the vehicles, each handcuffed and pushed forward.
Those detainees were struggling, making last-ditch attempts.
"No, I don’t want to be a Toolman for Paradise!"
"I beg you, give me a little more time, just a bit more time and I can pay off my debts!"
"Kill me! Kill me! Stripping me of my rights is worse than killing me!"
Watching this group of wailing detainees, Han Zhan and the other two seemed somewhat out of place.
"Why don’t you... just follow the procedural documents and operate accordingly?"
Han Zhan glanced at the enforcer beside him.
The questioned enforcer shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle drum, "You’re joking, even if you want to leave now, we wouldn’t stop you."
Jokes aside.
When Han Zhan underwent a lifespan test, they all saw the instrument spewing black smoke with their own eyes.
This person in front of us is someone even the Paradise management would curry favor with.
They were merely the lowest-level law enforcers; they dared not offend at will.
Feng Xiaozao also witnessed this scene.
Unlike Han Zhan’s relaxed mindset, her mood was heavy and complicated.
If not for meeting Han Zhan, she would likely be receiving the same treatment as these detainees.
Handcuffs, shackles, pushing, driving... these were the experiences of entering Paradise as a Toolman.
Shang Jianyue didn’t pay any attention to this. His focus was on the shimmering protective barrier outside of Paradise.
Data streams flowed in his eyes, seemingly calculating and analyzing the potential to replicate such a special technology.
Such an out-of-place trio successfully caught the attention of the Paradise guards.
Just as the guards intended to give them the "treatment" a Toolman deserves, the enforcer who spoke to Han Zhan earlier had already walked forward briskly.
The enforcer whispered a few words into the guard’s ear.
The guard’s originally fierce gaze suddenly softened significantly.
The look towards Han Zhan and others became as clear as a child’s.
"Please, proceed into the Paradise," the guard said, unexpectedly forcing a smile.
Even he couldn’t have imagined that there would come a day when he’d need to smile at a Toolman.
This scenario wasn’t even written in the training content or rules and regulations for his job!
This scene completely overturned his understanding.
Those detainees still crying and the irritated law enforcers, along with other guards, all paused their actions.
The entire scene became silently quiet.
Once Han Zhan and the others entered Paradise, the onlookers finally reacted and erupted.
"You’re a guard, a Paradise guard! How can you say ’please’?!"
"That fawning smile just now was nauseating!"
"I don’t care; if you use honorifics with other Toolmen, you must use them with me too!"
"Look at them, look at their service attitude! Where’s your service attitude? I want to complain about you!"
"I want to hear you say, ’Princess, please enter the Paradise!’ Say it!"
"..."
Han Zhan still didn’t know that their special treatment had caused a small-scale commotion outside Pure Beauty Paradise.
They didn’t care about this either.
Because they were engaged in something more important, which was—Toolman job selection.
"Toolman is a general term for all service personnel inside Paradise. In fact, there are many subdivisions within Paradise’s service personnel."
"For instance, which job is easier, which job offers higher compensation, which job has a higher safety index, and so on."
After listening to the description, Han Zhan looked at the variety of Toolman professions, ready for him to choose.
This was a special treatment only Han Zhan had access to.
After all, there are few gods or Tier Nine Ultimates willing to become Toolmen in Paradise.
"I’ll choose the Gamble Hall Assistant," Shang Jianyue was the first to decide.
The Gamble Hall is a super large gambling venue in Paradise, beloved by gamblers and the place where life currency fortunes are most easily gained and lost.
The wins and losses in the Gamble Hall involve probabilities and calculations, so Shang Jianyue’s choice made sense, but what should I choose... Han Zhan perused the Toolman job options in silence for a while.
The guard beside him cautiously accompanied, not daring to show any impatience or urge.
Finally, Han Zhan’s gaze stopped on a Toolman job.
"Then I’ll choose this one, the Boxing Ring Assistant."
After Han Zhan made his choice, only Feng Xiaozao hadn’t decided yet.
Soon, Feng Xiaozao also confirmed her Toolman profession.
"I choose this, the Third-Rate Writer Bar Waitress."
