I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 695 - 55: Lifespan Assessment

"Friend?" The man in the white suit paused visibly at Han Zhan’s words.How could a divine envoy closest to the gods befriend an ant... he thought to himself, wisely choosing not to probe further.

In Pure Beauty Paradise, a manager needs to be perceptive and insightful, understanding human nature.

Perhaps this Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse has some peculiar hobby.

"I understand. In that case, we respect your opinion. However, without a VIP invitation, you can only be a ’toolman’ in the Paradise, just like her."

"The Paradise rules are the Paradise rules; even a Tier Nine Ultimate cannot break them."

The man in the white suit spoke apologetically.

"Understood, we are willing to comply with the Paradise rules," Han Zhan nodded slightly.

Shang Jianyue nodded in agreement as well.

Upon hearing their consent, the man in the white suit said no more and stepped aside.

Soon, a law enforcement vehicle drove over from a distance. The Paradise law enforcers pulled back a curtain at the rear of the vehicle, revealing a large instrument at least two meters high.

This brass-colored round instrument resembled a clock, with a single long hand pointing to zero in the center.

Above this strange instrument was a narrow, straight energy bar.

The energy bar changed color from light green to deep red, from left to right, gradually darkening.

This peculiar instrument immediately caught Shang Jianyue’s attention; he squinted, pausing to observe it closely.

Before the man in the white suit could speak, Shang Jianyue had already discerned a bit of its nature.

"A clever device. It has two parallel circuits internally, seemingly influencing each other. One of these circuits is filled with a special liquid connected to the clockface needle on the outside."

"The other circuit is full of sensors, showing signs of spiritual power flow."

"This is a special detection instrument."

Shang Jianyue’s insightful talk made the man in the white suit glance over in surprise.

With just a glance, he could so precisely deduce the instrument’s purpose and internal structure. Could this gentleman-dressed powerhouse be following the path of scientific research?

"Your observations are sharp; indeed, this is a special detection instrument."

"To be precise, it belongs to Pure Beauty Paradise, a Life Span Detector."

"All entrants must pass the Life Span Detector’s examination to enter the Paradise."

A life span test, indeed... Han Zhan had already suspected upon seeing the device, and the man’s words confirmed it.

Life span is the most important "currency" on Pure Beauty Star.

The more life span one possesses, the wealthier they are on Pure Beauty Star.

However, there are some aspects yet to be explained.

For instance, how does Pure Beauty Star extract life span that originally belonged to it? Is there a divine entity guarding the Longevity Dao?

Also, different interstellar species have different life spans. For instance, someone like Han Zhan, even if his Cultivation Realm reaches Tier Nine Ultimate, his lifespan would barely be a few hundred years.

However, some interstellar species, according to the knowledge and records Han Zhan read in Marian Library on Yongsha Star,

even the Angkasaru Star People of the lowest realms have life spans reaching a thousand years.

With such differences between interstellar species, how does Pure Beauty Star handle using life span as currency?

Soon, Han Zhan’s doubts were addressed by the man in the white suit.

"The Life Span Detector assesses the overall lifespan of entrants. Through this assessment, their lifespan is quantified, allowing them to obtain the necessary currency for spending in Pure Beauty Paradise - ’Life Coins’."

"Considering the different lifespans across races, and to prevent certain long-lived species from gaining an enormous amount of Life Coins due to their racial advantage, the Life Span Detector performs a comprehensive evaluation."

According to the man in the white suit, the Life Span Detector can evaluate and quantify an entrant’s lifespan in a comprehensive manner.

The quantified Life Coins become their "wealth" on Pure Beauty Star.

Long-lived species would not exploit their lengthy lifespans to gain an excessive amount of Life Coins.

Evidently, not only Han Zhan, but Pure Beauty Paradise had also anticipated this issue.

"So, everyone, according to Paradise Rule Article 0018, please each infuse a strand of spiritual power into the instrument."

"The instrument will calculate the number of Life Coins for each individual through a special evaluation process and record it as property."

The benefit for Pure Beauty Paradise in implementing these procedures is that they prevent the emergence of smugglers.

Without a unified measurement by the Life Span Detector and without recording personal Life Coin property, even if a smuggler successfully enters Pure Beauty Paradise, they would be unable to conduct transactions or other activities inside.

Moreover, they would easily be discovered by the Paradise law enforcers and be arrested or expelled.

Feng Xiaozao was the first to extend her hand.

A special sensing device was placed on her fingertip, and as the Life Span Detector activated, the narrow energy bar began moving from left to right.

As the energy bar moved, the needle below started to rotate slowly.

The number the needle pointed to represented the quantified "Life Coins" in Pure Beauty Paradise.

Eventually, the number stopped at 200.

"Huh?" The man in the white suit expressed a light hint of surprise upon seeing the needle’s final position.

By common judgment, the dynamic lifespan value of this young woman named Feng Xiaozao should fluctuate around sixty, yet it reached two hundred... the man thought, quickly reviewing Feng Xiaozao’s records.

After reviewing Feng Xiaozao’s life trajectory and Life Coin transaction history over the years, he suddenly realized.

He withdrew his gaze and looked up at Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue.

"You two, please proceed with the test as well."

Shang Jianyue nodded and extended his finger second.

However, unlike Feng Xiaozao, he did not allow the device to be placed on his finger; instead, his fingertip transformed into silver glimmers as he infused spiritual power into the instrument’s channel.

Soon, the Life Span Detector reacted.

Compared to Feng Xiaozao, the instrument’s response was much more intense when Shang Jianyue underwent detection.

The energy bar erupted like a volcano, reaching its peak instantly.

The previously slowly rotating needle also began spinning rapidly at this moment, with the Life Coin value climbing sharply.

After a while, the Life Span Detector gradually stabilized, and the number on the needle left Feng Xiaozao watching in envy.

"Life Coin value, six thousand."

With an initial value of six thousand Life Coins, even among Tier Nine Ultimates, this is quite outstanding... The man in the white suit thought to himself, looking at Shang Jianyue with even more respect.

With these six thousand Life Coins alone, Shang Jianyue could live quite prosperously in Pure Beauty Paradise, even as a toolman.

The man in the white suit composed himself and turned to Han Zhan.

Han Zhan understood, raising his hand, a refined golden spiritual power infused into the Life Span Detector.
