The King of Black Fog

The large screen immediately lit up.

Everyone held their breath.

[Name: World Anchor·Witch]

[Type: Gambling Prize]

[Quality: S+]

[Special Effect: Anchors the Great Sun Tathagata Visualization]

[Minimum Use Conditions: Player - Screwdriver]

[Introduction: Hakone Volcano erupts, a ferocious red and black dragon roars! The Divine Witch, ruler of Kyoto, takes action! Numerous cultivators gather! Players join the rescue squad, and after completing the mission, they can listen to a complete lecture on the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra" free of charge! (The first level of the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra is the Great Sun Tathagata Visualization.)]

[Note: ...Well, it's best not to gamble; gambling is not good.]

"It doesn't look very difficult," someone said.

"Yes, just joining the rescue squad, no need to directly fight this so-called Hakone dragon."

"Did you notice? The introduction says you can listen to a complete lecture on the 'Great Sun Tathagata Mantra' for free, and the first level of it is the Great Sun Tathagata Visualization!"

"Isn't this a jackpot?!"

After reading this special ticket, Turquoise Pool immediately said to the other three, "This mission could very likely be completed, use any means you have to remember the 'Screwdriver's' face and qi; we'll find her in the real world!"

Some people in the audience also changed their expressions.

At that moment, "Screwdriver" on the stage was persuaded by her teammates, and seemed to recover from the mentality of striking it rich; she hurriedly tucked away the information and hastily fled.

"Screwdriver" might have been too joyful for her own good.

"I'm so envious!" Li Qianxia took a sip of 'Godfather,' "I also really want to enter a world with grand scenes, where I only have to do small tasks yet can get huge rewards! By the way, Turquoise Pool, with all your money, why don't you try gambling? You might win too!"

"I'm not interested in gambling that relies entirely on luck," Turquoise Pool said, "At least in another world, I can still rely on myself."

"This Witch World might not be that simple," Yang Qinglan suddenly said.

"Why? The players are just responsible for the rescue," Li Changzhou asked curiously.

"No specific reason, but I always feel, it won't be that easy."

"If it's S+ level..." Li Changzhou was also not so sure.

It was really hard to imagine an S+ level reward and world.

The ship was indeed a game-changing place; in the underground, to come across an S+ level, one didn't know how many tasks one would have to go through.

"Time's almost up, let's get ready too," Turquoise Pool glanced at the time inside the casino.

The so-called preparation was actually finding a room to sleep in.

Besides the room owner, nobody could enter or exit without permission.

Turquoise Pool had a room to herself, Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Li Qianxia shared another.

Li Changzhou opened the 'Honey Pot World,' and released Little Radish and the butterfly.

"Did you let out the cattle and sheep too?" Yang Qinglan asked her.

"Yes." Little Radish answered, "Do we really have to go? I'm so scared I could pee!"

"..."

Although it was quite pitiful, there was nothing to be done; such was life.

"Knock, knock."

Someone knocked on the door to ask Little Radish and the butterfly to supplement their tickets, but upon seeing Li Changzhou, they said, "Players of No Taboos can bend the rules a bit."

Then they smiled and left.

Indeed, No Taboos!

"How about next time we also dodge the fare?" Li Qianxia immediately suggested.

"How could you and I just 'happen to meet' on the ship?" Li Changzhou asked.

"Hmm, maybe claim it's twin bonding 'Transmission'?"

"Then we wouldn't have to supplement the ticket? Do you want to let Turquoise Pool know her brother is from No Taboos?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"...Forget it."

The room had a balcony with a sea view; it was already dark outside, stars filled the sky, and the sea breeze was gentle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the cruise is about to anchor, please be ready, 10, 9, 8...."

Boom! Infinite chains spread from the ship's body, extending into the night sky, locking onto various stars.

The enchained stars instantly brightened, the sea surface looking as if it had been hung with hundreds of moons.

The massive ship boomed and, anchored, came to a stop.

"...2, 1, 0!"

"We wish you a pleasant journey, goodnight."

Li Changzhou opened his eyes and saw a Scorpion Mecha, multi-legged and shaped like a scorpion, pressing on top of him, its high-frequency blade slicing through the air, aimed at his brow coming down.

He narrowly turned his head to dodge.

Click!

Amidst the smooth mechanical sound, a Smoothbore Cannon on the back of the Scorpion Mecha, resembling a scorpion's tail, aimed at his face.

Li Changzhou and the dark muzzle faced each other.

"Fire the cannon at stake, this time it paid off."
