I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 696 - 56: Entering the Garden

As Han Zhan infused spiritual power with a flick of his finger.The lifespan detector froze momentarily.

Immediately following, only a "bang" was heard as the energy bar on the lifespan detector exploded, billowing black smoke rising from it.

Everyone, including the person in the white suit, the law enforcer, and Feng Xiaozao, was left dumbfounded.

The only ones not dumbfounded were Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue.

Shang Jianyue was unfazed by this scene, as Han Zhan rising from Contracted Spirit awakening to become the Great Xia Leader in just a few years was already beyond comprehension.

Meanwhile, Han Zhan was pondering something else: "If this... lifespan detector is broken, will they make me compensate for it?"

"It will not be damaged." Surprisingly, the person in the white suit responded without hesitation.

He tugged at the bright red rose bow tie, not looking elegant but still striving to maintain the image of the Paradise management.

"The lifespan detector is designed using divine beings as a benchmark."

The white suit’s explanation was simple and direct in telling them why the device wouldn’t break.

The lifespan detector is tested against the strength of divine beings; even if a divine being were to come, it wouldn’t break, let alone Han Zhan?

"Emitting black smoke is normal; it means the energy constraints can’t restrict the spiritual power in the sensor and the constraints need to be lifted."

The person in the white suit spoke as he took out a key, inserted it into the lock at the back of the lifespan detector, and then, the internals seemed to undergo some dramatic change with a clattering sound.

The brass-colored circular casing started shaking violently due to the internal commotion.

This increasingly looked like it was about to explode.

After a while, the lifespan detector stopped shaking. The long energy bar at the top had already blown off, and the now bare "round clock face" resumed moving its needle.

The threshold value of the lifespan detector is ten thousand, which distinguishes divine beings from Tier Nine Ultimates; could it be that this Tier Nine Ultimate in front of us is actually a... divine being?!

The person in the white suit thought of this and couldn’t help but let his gaze fall on the pointer.

The pointer, representing lifespan numbers, quickly surged past one thousand, five thousand, ten thousand!

Even after surpassing the ten-thousand mark, the pointer’s rotation speed did not slow down, reaching fifteen thousand, twenty thousand, twenty-five thousand!

It wasn’t until the pointer reached thirty thousand that it finally came to a stop.

Initial Lifespan Points, thirty thousand!

The gaze the person in the white suit cast upon Han Zhan changed dramatically.

If a Tier Nine Ultimate should be treated with utmost respect, then towards a divine being, the attitude extends beyond absolute reverence!

"I urge you to reconsider the VIP invitation affair." The person in the white suit solemnly urged.

"With your initial lifespan points reaching thirty thousand, far exceeding the average VIP, we will expedite processing your VIP status and can complete it within five working days!"

Alright, the words from the person in the white suit enlightened Han Zhan.

Even if a divine being visits Pure Beauty Paradise, it still takes five working days to process a VIP status.

"No, it’s alright." Han Zhan still rejected the white suit’s goodwill, "I’ll just remain an ordinary toolman."

Preference! That’s definitely His preference! Toying with emotions, deceiving the world, ladying among mortals, He must be the divine of the Joyful Dao... the person in the white suit imagined himself at this point and nodded, ceasing to insist further.

"Regarding your quantified lifespan detection results this time, we will register the lifespan points as soon as possible."

"Registration will take about two days. As toolmen of the Paradise, you need to enter the Paradise to choose your position and undergo training to begin work within a day..."

Originally formulaic rhetoric began to stutter from the person in the white suit’s mouth at this moment.

After all, facing a Tier Nine Ultimate, an entity suspected of being a Joyful Divine, claiming not to feel any pressure is impossible.

"Feng Xiaozao, regarding the detail of inherited debt from your father, it will also be transferred to you once lifespan points are registered."

The person in the white suit continued to look at Han Zhan and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

"Would you both please board the vehicle?"

"The law enforcement vehicle will take you to a designated location inside the Paradise where you can choose a profession of interest."

"..."

Seeing the obsequious behavior of the white suit, other law enforcers one by one pretended to ignore the situation to avoid trouble later.

Although bowing and scraping to a Tier Nine Ultimate and a divine being is certainly something one could accept.

"Here is my business card. If you need anything within the Paradise, you can definitely find me anytime."

The person in the white suit handed Han Zhan his business card, with the name "Guan Congming" written on it.

Turning away from darkness to brightness, truly a uniquely charming name... Han Zhan thought to himself, not rejecting it and reached out to take the card.

Guan Congming is a Paradise manager; although possibly just a low-ranking porter, he likely knows more about the internal affairs and rules than his companions and himself.

Perhaps it might really come in handy.

Might as well keep it.

Seeing Han Zhan accept the business card, joy flickered in Guan Congming’s eyes.

He waved goodbye to Han Zhan and his companions.

As the manager, Guan Congming didn’t ride the law enforcement vehicle. No matter how much he wished to please Han Zhan, he couldn’t break Paradise’s rules and regulations.

After temporarily parting with Guan Congming, Han Zhan, Shang Jianyue, and Feng Xiaozao were invited onto the law enforcement vehicle.

The main guests were Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue, with Feng Xiaozao joining as an afterthought.

She truly was lucky to have Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue around, making the law enforcers more favorable in their attitude towards her.

This is the strength; wherever you are, strength speaks.

He has thirty thousand lifespan points, thirty thousand! If he is willing to pay off my debt, could I regain my freedom...

When Feng Xiaozao glanced at Han Zhan, this thought irresistibly emerged in her mind.

Yet, they were mere acquaintances, not real friends, with a relationship based solely on a transactional cooperation.

How could I convince a figure like a boss to repay my debt?

Does it mean offering myself?

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaozao subconsciously cast a glance at herself, at least securing the "good breeder," "a child won’t starve," and "leg lover benefits" tags.

When she looked back at Han Zhan, he appeared increasingly aesthetically pleasing and delectable to her senses.

"Heart rate markedly accelerated, body temperature substantially elevated, muscle tension increased, skin conductance response enhanced, thighs clamping tightly together."

Shang Jianyue paused as he mentioned this.

"Are you falling in love?"
