Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"Sorry, Lin, your advance value has been reset to zero this time."

Although Zhou Baiyu was not one to boast, he did enjoy being praised.

Having the advance value reset to zero was considered a good deal even for A, so naturally, Lin would think it was a good deal too.

The intermediary could still see the rewards for being a pioneer of their lineage.

So even though Lin did not know what Zhou Baiyu had experienced, she guessed that it was somehow related to "the Ancestral Master."

"Your abilities have been enhanced, your experience points have greatly increased, filling the gap of several years between you and the likes of Guang Tongchen, so what if the advance value is reset to zero?"

It's like having your hundred thousand savings gone, suddenly penniless, but then you've exchanged it for a house in a prime location in the city center.

Lin approved of this deal.

She now had high hopes for Zhou Baiyu, hoping he could become the first to step into the fourth tier.

Upon entering the fourth tier as a Mutated Demon Master, not only "objects" could be mutated.

And the initial rate of difference would decrease further, and the number of possible mutations would increase.

These figures might seem inconsequential at first, but as one diminishes, and the other grows, reaching the fourth tier turns the Mutator into a truly terrifying profession.

Therefore, the fifth tier of the Mutator, the Lord of Divine Abnormality, is prefixed with a "divine."

The sixth tier, named Chaotic Order, implies that at the sixth tier, one could create a unique order amidst much chaos.

Their skills were second only to "the Ancestral Master," the God of Difference and Chaos.

Of course, no one had stepped into the sixth tier.

The strongest Mutator in history had only just stepped into the fifth tier before being killed shortly after.

Lin had not actually thought that Zhou Baiyu could reach the fourth tier, let alone that after her and Mel, there would be another fourth-tier Mutated Demon Master.

Many things, if you do not hope, you will not be disappointed.

But this time, she rekindled her hope. People with hope have a light in their eyes.

Lin looked at Zhou Baiyu with eyes different from before.

Zhou Baiyu liked how things were now.

Lin said,

"I hope you reach the places I've been. Little brother, unfortunately, this time I can't give you any extra rewards."

"But, just like we agreed each time before you leave, when you come back alive, you can ask me some questions."

This was exactly what Zhou Baiyu needed.

"I want to know about Mel and Yu Ji."

A look of surprise flashed in Lin's eyes, but quickly, concerning the matter of Zhou Baiyu meeting the Lord of Joy, Lin seemed to have solid evidence.

She turned around, poured a drink, not for Zhou Baiyu this time, but for herself.

When it's time to tell a story, it's time to drink a little wine.

Lin casually swirled the wine in the glass, speaking in her usual lazy tone:

"My dear sister Mel, she's really someone you could talk about for three days and nights without end."

"By the rules, I can't mention too much of the past, especially Mel's history… it's related to why our intermediaries became intermediaries."

"I can only answer a few of your questions. You can ask about aspects of Mel that you want to know."

"She's dead, and in this world, only I care about her."

"Dead people, too, need someone to remember them. Maybe one day when I'm gone and you are still alive, then Mel and I will live on in your memory."

"Hahaha, I've spoken a bit too much."

Even though she hadn't started drinking yet, and she has a liquor capacity that can never get her drunk, Lin surprisingly... talked more than usual.

Zhou Baiyu felt that Mel and Lin might have really had a close relationship.

Bai Ye and Mel had become people he was very concerned about at this stage.

"Is there a possibility that Mel is still alive?" Zhou Baiyu asked a very strange question.

Lin lit a cigarette, looking peculiarly at Zhou Baiyu.

You see, just before the super-dimensional mutation began, she had a dream, coincidentally dreamt of Mel from those days.

"I said earlier, she should be dead."

"Absolutely, completely dead? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Lin realized what he was getting at and retorted,

"Why do you ask? Are you questioning how Mel died, and whether she is dead because you got some news?"

Lin's expression became a little agitated, her eyes intently fixed on Zhou Baiyu, trying to read the answer from his face.

Zhou Baiyu discovered that in this world, everyone is lonely.

A seemed obsessed with experiments, but he became excited like a child upon getting the news about Bai Ye.

Lin is lazily to her bone on ordinary days, seemingly not caring about anything but smoking and drinking, but when she heard the news about Mel, she also became like a little girl.

Zhou Baiyu said,

"Perhaps, some people from your era survived."

"Lin, no one else is here, so I can tell you, triggering the super-dimensional mutation is actually part of a series of tasks."

"I got a notebook from our unreliable god."

"In certain conditions, this notebook occasionally tells me some information."

"There will be many more triggers of super-dimensional mutation.

"Probably everyone will go to that island again, or maybe somewhere else. Oh, I've strayed off topic. What I wanted to say is... in that chaotic notebook, I saw some past interactions of our unreliable god."

"Some of them are so revolutionary, I can't even bring them up to you."

Roles reversed.
