I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 693 - 53: Feng Xiaozao

Seeing the look in Feng Xiaozao’s eyes, if he spoke just one second slower, he might well be treated as a perverted wolf guilty of sexual harassment.For the first time, Han Zhan’s reputation was jeopardized so quickly and precariously.

All because of that man in front who set a "good example."

Only after hearing Han Zhan’s words did Feng Xiaozao lower her guard.

She scrutinized Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue several more times, as if trying to confirm something.

"Judging by your clothes, you indeed don’t look like locals."

"However, without an invitation from Pure Beauty Paradise, what are you doing on Pure Beauty Star?"

Feng Xiaozao’s reaction was just like that of the coffee shop manager.

In their view, it seemed that travelers from other planets coming to Pure Beauty Star without visiting Pure Beauty Paradise were not in their right minds.

This further piqued Han Zhan’s curiosity about Pure Beauty Paradise.

"So do you have a way to get us an invitation?"

To his surprise, Feng Xiaozao shook her head.

Seeing Feng Xiaozao’s gesture, Han Zhan was taken aback, unable to get one?

"I can’t get you the VIP invitation for Pure Beauty Paradise."

"But, if you just want to enter Pure Beauty Paradise, I do have a way."

Feng Xiaozao admitted.

"VIP and ordinary entrants should just differ in treatment, right?"

Shang Jianyue’s words were directed at both Feng Xiaozao and Han Zhan.

He was seeking Han Zhan’s opinion.

Getting a VIP invitation was indeed not something they could achieve in a short time.

Since Pure Beauty Star, as the second Doomsday Planet in the eyes of the Creator God, was doomed to destruction according to the example of Yongsha Star.

We don’t have much time and must speed up the process.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan said, "No problem, we just need to get into Pure Beauty Paradise."

Hearing Han Zhan’s confirmation, Shang Jianyue nodded slightly, not objecting.

When Feng Xiaozao saw Han Zhan answer this way, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her gaze at Han Zhan changed.

It was reminiscent of the young man’s gaze when he was appraising Feng Xiaozao just now.

Only the roles were reversed.

Being stared at with such a gaze, Han Zhan immediately crossed his arms over his chest.

Feng Xiaozao’s face lit up with joy, but she quickly reined it in, speaking in a serious and solemn tone:

"Although I, Feng Xiaozao, am short of money, I am not someone who likes to cheat others."

"I must clarify for you the difference between a VIP invitation and my way of entering Pure Beauty Paradise; you best listen fully before deciding."

Without waiting for Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue to speak, Feng Xiaozao started explaining further.

With her explanation, Han Zhan also understood the two different ways of entering Pure Beauty Paradise.

The VIP invitation, as the name implies, usually refers to those of high status across the Star Domain, who alone get invited to Pure Beauty Star to enter the Pure Beauty Paradise.

Once these VIPs enter Pure Beauty Paradise, it’s akin to arriving at a special holiday destination.

Whether it’s spending, entertainment, or other activities, VIPs receive excellent arrangements and privileges.

This is a special treatment enjoyed only by VIPs.

As for Feng Xiaozao’s way of entering Pure Beauty Paradise, it’s somewhat hard to explain.

Aside from the VIP invitation at Pure Beauty Star, there is indeed another way to enter Pure Beauty Paradise, which is to become a "toolman" at Pure Beauty Paradise.

Toolman is easy to understand as well.

As a super-large paradise, Pure Beauty Paradise is logically staffed with various cleaners, transporters, creators, order maintainers, etc., all collectively called toolmen.

Toolmen are typically those who have incurred huge debts and are unable to repay.

They must continue working in Pure Beauty Paradise until they earn enough to redeem their personal rights.

Feng Xiaozao’s explanation took Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue by surprise.

"Did you owe Pure Beauty Paradise a huge debt?"

"No, it wasn’t me, it was my gambling addict father." Feng Xiaozao shook her head, "He took the chance to be a guide for VIPs and entered Pure Beauty Paradise, and then incurred a debt he couldn’t possibly repay."

"According to the park’s joint liability mechanism, any debt a parent can’t pay off will be continued by their adult children by entering the park."

Unexpectedly, this was the unfolding scenario.

The so-called personal rights naturally also cover the rights to choose a mate and reproduce.

On a pessimistic note, if Feng Xiaozao can’t timely redeem her personal rights, those rights would be controlled by the park.

"I strive hard to make money every day just to save up as much as possible before turning eighteen, to shorten the time I’ll have to serve as a toolman in the park."

Feng Xiaozao not yet being eighteen was quite unexpected?

"I have one day left before I officially turn eighteen." Seeing Han Zhan’s surprise, Feng Xiaozao explained.

Han Zhan asked again, "So how much have you saved in total?"

"A lifespan of one hundred and fifty years."

A lifespan of one hundred and fifty years, if placed on Blue Star, is about what an ordinary person would have if they were exceptionally long-lived.

It’s amazing that an almost eighteen-year-old girl could amass such a fortune.

It’s hard to imagine how she lived through these years.

"So how much exactly is your father’s debt?" Shang Jianyue rationally asked further.

Being asked about this, Feng Xiaozao’s eyes dimmed and she lowered her head, "I don’t know..."

"The park doesn’t reveal detailed debt situations, only issues entry notices. Only when officially entering the park and completing the bonding at the park’s lifespan management department will the amount be known."

To be pitied for being burdened by such a father, Feng Xiaozao seems unfortunate.

But she has been striving and working hard for her future, and having such a positive attitude makes her fortunate.

"So, are you sure?" Feng Xiaozao asked Han Zhan for confirmation again.

"If you enter Pure Beauty Paradise with me, you’d only be able to do so as a ’toolman,’ certainly not comparable to those VIPs."

"However, since you don’t have any debts bound to the park, you should be able to leave anytime you want if you wish to."

After listening to Feng Xiaozao’s explanation, Han Zhan still nodded lightly and confirmed again, "Okay."

"Great! Then let’s discuss the terms of payment next."

This time, Feng Xiaozao’s face finally lit up again, her demeanor switching from dejection to joy like changing faces, carefree and worry-free.

"To take you into the park, I surely have to charge a fee, because entering Pure Beauty Paradise means unlimited possibilities."

"This kind of gambling on luck, I feel, is worth this amount."

While speaking, Feng Xiaozao stretched out her hand with five fingers spread apart, signaling the number "five."

"Set price, fifty years of lifespan per person!"
