Chapter 735: Chapter 95: Prison
Han Zhan and the others were taken away by the law enforcement team and boarded a special elevator.
This special elevator was not the typical cabinet-style elevator; it was merely a smooth disk, resembling more of a dish for serving food.
As they approached the disk, Han Zhan and the others were involuntarily attracted to it.
The Light Prison that bound them ultimately transformed into starlight dots, dissipating into the air.
Even the law enforcement team stopped and did not come closer.
Leaving the four of them to ride this special elevator vertically upward, its destination unknown.
"They... just left?" Han Zhan watched as the law enforcement team beneath them gradually turned into little black dots, his tone filled with surprise, "Aren’t they afraid we’ll escape?"
"Save your strength, escape?" At this moment, Chen Dubei’s mocking voice sounded beside him.
Even though he was now a prisoner, his smile remained so irritatingly annoying.
"Our lifespan currency is now reset to zero, understand?"
"Our lifespan currency is now reset to zero, understand!"
Chen Dubei repeated the same words twice.
With lifespan currency reset to zero, and the law enforcement team leaving them to ride the elevator, is there a connection between the two?
"What do you think lifespan currency is?"
Seeing Han Zhan and the others silently staring at him, Chen Dubei seemed to regain his superiority as a Lucky Gambler.
With a smile on his face, he spoke:
"Lifespan currency is lifespan, lifespan is lifespan currency."
"When your lifespan currency is reset to zero in Paradise, it means your lifespan has been completely reset to zero."
"If you leave Pure Beauty Star in your current state, do you believe the moment you step out, you’ll die the next instant."
As a gambler who mingled in various Star Domains, Chen Dubei clearly knew more.
He continued, "Otherwise, aren’t you curious why Pure Beauty Paradise always sends invitations, inviting those VIPs?"
"Why do those VIPs flock to Pure Beauty Star? Is it because of the amusement facilities in Pure Beauty Paradise?"
Clearly, it’s not.
Most who find ways to enter Pure Beauty Paradise aim to earn more lifespan currency, and more lifespan currency means more lifespan.
This is their true purpose.
Regarding lifespan currency and lifespan, Han Zhan had his suspicions.
But he never thought the rules would be so tyrannical.
"So, the so-called lifespan test before entering is essentially a ’rule binding,’ only by binding with Paradise’s lifespan currency rules can you enter Paradise and use lifespan currency?"
Han Zhan realized.
But soon, more doubts surrounded him.
"With such high risks, why do so many people still flock to Pure Beauty Paradise?"
Chen Dubei chuckled, "On this point, I think no one has more say than a gambler."
"Because every one of us is a gambler."
...
The special elevator carrying Han Zhan and the others continued to rise, seemingly without end.
The ground was completely out of sight, and even the amusement facilities of Paradise turned into tiny black dots, then were slowly obscured by clouds, disappearing.
Although Han Zhan felt uneasy about the unknown destination, the unease was limited.
Because of Dawn.
"Do you know Dawn?" Suddenly, on the silent elevator, Han Zhan looked at Chen Dubei and asked.
Upon hearing this name, Shang Jianyue and Luo Qiuhong also simultaneously raised their heads.
Chen Dubei, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, paused for a moment.
"You know Dawn too?" He instinctively asked Han Zhan.
Upon hearing Chen Dubei’s response and seeing his reaction, Han Zhan confirmed some things.
Chen Dubei was indeed one of Dawn’s "means."
Dawn wouldn’t let us die; he forced us into this situation, likely with a plan, such as an anchor point... Han Zhan thought to himself.
Since ending the conversation with Dawn last time, Han Zhan knew well this group hidden behind the scenes, Dawn, possessed various strange means, hard to guard against.
All he could do was try to minimize his side’s losses.
"Have you seen Dawn? Do you know where to find them? Do you know!"
Chen Dubei suddenly became somewhat agitated.
At this moment, Luo Qiuhong spoke, "I’ve seen Dawn. This sword in my hand was given to me by Dawn."
"Are you also a protagonist invested in by Dawn?!"
Han Zhan noticed Chen Dubei used the word "also."
"I am too." Without waiting for them to retort, Chen Dubei proactively said, "My [Luck] authority, and my Antique Artifact, these two pistols, White Sandalwood and Black Ivory, were given to me by Dawn!"
Chen Dubei was also a chosen [Destined Protagonist] by Dawn.
This answer was not unexpected to Han Zhan.
Seeing Chen Dubei’s "records," he vaguely sensed this point, which is why he decided to join Shang Jianyue in dealing with this trouble.
Unexpectedly, they were later tricked by Dawn behind the scenes, landing themselves in prison.
"If we can find Dawn, he will surely lead us away from here." Chen Dubei had absolute confidence in Dawn.
It seems he doesn’t yet know he’s merely a puppet being played by Dawn... Han Zhan thought this and shook his head internally.
While they were talking,
The ascending elevator finally stopped.
Han Zhan stood up and looked outside the elevator, witnessing an awe-inspiring scene.
It was a mountain.
A mountain built from Gold Coins!
Aside from that, there was a wide platform that extended so far it couldn’t be measured, boundless.
Han Zhan and the four descended from the elevator, stepping onto solid ground, with Chen Dubei’s exclamation ringing in their ears.
"Magnificent indeed. Is this above Paradise? Who would have thought, above Paradise lies a floating land!"
The four continued to walk forward.
Underfoot, Han Zhan stepped on something hard, and looking down, saw a golden coin.
This golden coin was the size of an adult’s palm, with a depiction of figures and a coiled Jade Dragon on the front, and a number "1" on the back.
As he picked up the Gold Coin, he looked further forward, only to realize there was an endless amount of scattered Gold Coins.
The closer to the Gold Coin Mountain, the more coins there were.
"This is..." Shang Jianyue squinted his eyes, but before he finished speaking, a thunderous rumble echoed from the sky above.
The sky parted open.
In an instant, infinite Gold Coins poured down from the crack, accumulating on Gold Coin Mountain.
Many Gold Coins spread across the mountain simultaneously, surging in all directions, scattering everywhere.
"New prisoners, come here!"
A voice arose in the distance, approaching where Han Zhan and the others stood.
