There is still one day left until the one-month lockdown is lifted.
After staying at home for nearly a month, Sean Dickinson felt that the flesh on his belly seemed to be a little thicker.
And the naughty sister Aaliya clearly knows that her brother is staying at home for some legitimate reasons, but she is still very happy to play the role of a sensible sister who has no choice but to shoulder the burden of the entire family because she has an unsatisfactory brother...
He was so involved in the performance that he even vaguely complained about his brother's "lack of progress" in a letter to his father on the other side of the ocean, which led to his father writing a stern letter asking Sean to cheer up as soon as possible, go out to work, and don't get too tired. His baby girl...
When Sean read the reply letter, he held his forehead and sighed deeply...
Aaliyah, who was hiding outside the room, looked gloating that her prank had been successful.
"What a pity!" Sean threw the letter on the table, "In addition to gaining weight this month, I also did a lot of things!"
The so-called "many things" means that he has completed the last short story needed to publish a collection of horror short stories.
It took about fifteen minutes.
However, this newly born work is somewhat different from the previous "semi-documentary" stories - this time, the fictional elements have increased a lot.
The reason for doing this is that Sean realized that if he wrote the material at hand in a straightforward manner, it would undoubtedly make people associate the author with the "Twilight Sea" that emerged in the exploration industry.
If this happens, Sean will have to give up his current pen name.
Therefore, he began to try to add more of his own ideas to the story materials.
The new article is called "She Can't Go Home", which is adapted from the incident about the immortal Vivian that happened on the "Bronze Giant".
Sean used his own writing skills to hide all clues to reality, and replaced them with an excellent story that is wonderful and impossible to associate with real events...
This manuscript still received high praise from the editor-in-chief of "New Testament Horror Stories" Ling Si Feng. In her reply, she stated that Sean's "Collection of Horror Short Stories" will be published and printed after a month of proofreading...
At that time, Sean was quite happy to think about the after-tax income that the short story collection might bring.
Thinking of my income, my heart which was a little heavy due to reading my father's letter suddenly became lighter again.
After one month of living in a snail's nest, Sean didn't review everything that happened in Midnight Paradise. At this time, sitting at his desk, he couldn't help but start to take stock of his gains...
After an unavoidable conflict with the King class, he and Moonlight obtained two C-class mysterious legacies, "Platinum Cufflinks" and "Unknown Refiner Earrings" respectively...
According to Sean's own speculation, the value of the two inheritances is around NZ$3,000.
Although these two pieces of heritage cannot be sold for a considerable period of time due to sensitivity, they both have good practicality. Even if they are not sold, it is quite good to keep them for personal use.
On this issue, Sean was glad that he was not greedy. Like Moonlight, he followed the rules and only took the mysterious inheritance of relatively low value.
Platinum cufflinks are not exclusive to the guards of the Kingdom of God. If he gets greedy and takes the more valuable B-class inheritance, which is the unique equipment of the guards of the Kingdom of God...
The forces that Sean is avoiding know very well: the person who defeats the guards of the Kingdom of God is the person who destroys Midnight Paradise.
That means that Sean will get a piece of cleric equipment that can never be sold and cannot be used by himself.
The second item of income is more important - a golden statue of Peter Pan.
Sean has checked it and there is no tracking magic on it.
Now, it has been stored in a hidden compartment of the closet.
55 pounds of solid gold worth $22,000...
This is the amount that allows everyone in the King level to enter the Midnight Paradise.
According to Sean's practice, it was divided equally among four teammates and allies, each of whom received more than NZ$5,000.
Combined with the mysterious inheritance obtained from the "winner takes all" duel with high-level explorers, Sean's repeatedly failed "money saving plan" to start a newspaper will finally have considerable savings, even if there are other places to spend later. Progress……
What follows is a benefit that cannot be measured in monetary terms.
First of all, Sean gained the absolute trust of "Memorial" Mike Downes and "Old Father" Fagal Taylor.
Coupled with the "Eye of Annihilation" Evan Burns who is currently living in seclusion, and the "Violet Nightingale" Katherine Haley who is on a mission abroad, the absolutely trustworthy power that Sean can currently call upon can already rival a medium-sized detective company. company...
Among them, the newly added Mike Downs has a rare mask ability: as a form of memory, he can use the power of everyone in the best friend team.
His chain of residual fire, Foley's potion, and Holly's shadow.
Combined with Mike's combat qualities...
"It's also as strong as a Q-level goalkeeper..." Sean shook his head and sighed.
A slightly bolder estimate would suggest that he almost has the strongest network resources at his level.
Finally, there is the ball of light.
Although he can't touch the unblocking yet, Sean has experienced it many times in the divine root space.
It's still unclear what the exact power it brings is, but Sean can probably sense it...
That is the ability involving "godhead".
If "God Feather" borrowed the power of the old master, then Sean believed that what the light ball could bring might be his first step towards the realm of "god".
Resisting the temptation to unblock it again, Sean retracted his hand reaching for the ball of light: "It's not the time yet."
The confinement will end tomorrow, and he will use the "curtain" of the moonlight in a hidden place to unblock this biggest gain!
Looking back at this point, Sean has completely forgotten the unpleasantness caused by that letter.
He only had one feeling at the moment: Although the trip to "Midnight Paradise" was full of hardships, the rewards were unmatched by other experiences.
…
The time became long while waiting, and Sean finally waited for the sunrise the next day.
The sun had just "waked up" when Sean contacted Moonlight·1902 through the card: Come on, go somewhere with me!
Naturally, he wants to unblock the light ball.
However, after Sean washed and dressed, his Explorer playing cards vibrated again.
It's news from Arthur Merlin.
He asked Sean and Moonlight to rush to the Explorers Association as soon as possible because there was "an important matter".
The New Testament reporter had no choice but to suppress his expectations again and schedule the unblocking time after going to the association...
After arriving at the Association Building on "Silent Street", Sean and Moonlight followed Arthur's instructions and took the elevator up to the 99th floor.
What makes Sean and Moonlight a little nervous is that they know what this level means——
On the 99th floor, the office of the president of the Explorers Association.
They were about to meet the old man who commanded all the explorers in New Landal Continent and had the greatest exploration power, Connor Phillips.
Sean had heard some rumors about President Phillips.
But some of those few words were too exaggerated for him to believe.
Among the information he recognized was that President Phillips was a former "preparatory Joker", the leader among the Aces back then.
His abilities are related to a silver pocket watch he always carries.
He is a somewhat strange old man with no airs. He often appears in places where there are many grassroots explorers...
Ding!
As Sean was thinking wildly, the elevator arrived at the 99th floor and opened its doors.
