Chapter 736: Chapter 96: Death Row Paradise
In the distance, a tall and burly figure was walking towards them.
It was a young man, about two meters tall.
Thick brown hair, muscles knotted, from afar he looked very much like a lion. "What are you still dawdling for? I’m talking about you four."
By the time he spoke, the man had already reached Han Zhan and his group, looking down at them.
"My name is Will, I am the manager of this area. You can call me Mr. Will, or Captain Will, or dear Will. Of course, the last appellation is reserved for the ladies."
As Will spoke, his gaze swept over all four of them, finally settling on Luo Qiuhong.
His eyes suddenly lit up, he straightened his tight clothes, trying to look more imposing, then continued:
"Being exiled here proves that your life coins have all been zeroed out."
"No matter what your identity used to be, here, you must follow instructions, otherwise there will never be a chance to turn the tables, got it?"
"Turn the tables? As a gambler, I really like that term. Do we really have a chance to leave here?" Chen Dubei grinned and asked.
"Although you have been exiled here, Paradise will still, according to regulations, issue you a daily salary of life coins."
"As long as the accumulated number of life coins reaches the amount you owe Paradise, you can leave here."
This young man named Will seemed very talkative.
Of course, perhaps he just wanted to show off more in front of Luo Qiuhong, he slapped his head as he reached that topic.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you, how many life coins do you owe Paradise?"
With this question from Will, all four of Han Zhan fell silent.
"126 billion life coins." The honest Shang Jianyue answered truthfully.
Will burst into laughter upon hearing his response, "You really have a sense of humor."
"Forget it, if you don’t want to answer, I won’t force you. However, regarding the rules here, I still have the obligation to remind you."
"Firstly, there’s work. Your daily work task is the Gold Coin Mountain you see. The specific work content will naturally become clear once you reach the foot of the mountain, so I won’t elaborate here."
"Then there are the precautions, I have no control over how you interact with other prisoners, but there are a few whom I advise you to stay away from and not provoke."
Will seemed to have done this kind of thing many times before.
As he spoke, he took out a few scrolls, each with vivid portraits of people.
"They are members of the Earth Tyrant, the most difficult group in this area to deal with. Among them, there are three Tier Nine Ultimates; the rest are all at Tier Eight Peak."
"If you’ve ever been to the Life Span Boxing Ring in Paradise, you should have seen the founder and real leader of this organization, Earthquake Star Weng Lu!"
"That’s a truly terrifying monster. He was released from here as a reward for outstanding performance to become a fighter in the Life Span Boxing Ring, having reportedly won countless times already."
"The other members, although not as strong as him, are also very powerful cultivators, and you must not provoke them unless all four of you are Tier Nine Ultimates."
As soon as Will finished speaking, both Han Zhan and Shang Jianyue’s gaze instinctively fell on Luo Qiuhong.
Earthquake Star Weng Lu? He was quite the familiar face, and it was quite the fate to encounter an organization related to him here.
Instead of making them nervous, Will’s words made them all heave a sigh of relief, with a sense of "So, the greatest here is Earthquake Star Weng Lu."
Will had no idea what their silence represented and thought they were intimidated by the information he provided, nodding his head in satisfaction.
"Alright, the task of welcoming newcomers is complete, you may now head to the foot of Gold Coin Mountain. If you’re fast enough, you might be able to receive today’s salary of life coins."
"Lastly, welcome to Death Row Paradise, above Pure Beauty Paradise!"
...
Watching Will’s departing figure fade into the distance.
Han Zhan nodded to the others after a moment of silence.
"Let’s go, let’s see why Dawn went to such great lengths to intervene in fate, sending us here, and what sort of development is in store."
Shang Jianyue and Luo Qiuhong nodded slightly, following behind Han Zhan and preparing to head to the foot of the mountain.
Just then, Chen Dubei suddenly remembered something, his face showing reluctance and reluctance to move forward.
"You guys go ahead; I’m... feeling a bit unwell and want to take a moment."
"Chen Dubei, we’re all death row prisoners now. Are you trying to pull something off, or are you hoping to rely on the Lucky Talent to escape here?"
Luo Qiuhong, having no courtesy towards the person who brought them to exile, questioned bluntly.
"How could I!" Chen Dubei was just about to explain when a gold life coin suddenly shot from afar.
In a flash, it hit him squarely on the forehead, knocking him backwards.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, in a state of mindlessness.
Did they see it wrong? The Lucky Gambler was hit by a gold coin, one of the many that rained from the sky.
Is this luck, too?
"Floating currency, it’s floating currency!" Chen Dubei stood up stumbling with a big bump on his head.
Before he could steady himself, a rumbling sound came from afar.
Soon everyone saw, a flood of golden life coins like torrential floodwaters, locked onto their direction, rushing towards them.
Han Zhan made an immediate decision, "Stay away from him!"
As he said that, he swiftly dodged to the side, Shang Jianyue and Luo Qiuhong did the same.
The previously smirking Chen Dubei was now a different person with a face of misery, dodging in the opposite direction to Han Zhan and the others.
Unexpectedly, the flood of golden life coins seemed to have grown eyes.
No matter which direction Chen Dubei dodged, it followed relentlessly.
In the end, there was only a loud explosion.
The life coins engulfed Chen Dubei’s figure.
"It seems Luck is not invincible. We got confused by Dawn’s interference, subconsciously thinking we must rely on external forces to deal with him. In fact, it’s not flawless."
"The fuller the cup, the quicker its spill. Luck when at its limit, turns into misfortune."
"If Chen Dubei breaks through to become a deity, perhaps he can solve this backlash, but right now, he can’t avoid it."
Lucky Talent is powerful.
The cost of luck is equally considerable.
This is a balance, more like an everlasting truth in the Cosmos.
"What do we do now? Should we go help him?" Shang Jianyue asked Han Zhan.
They were neither family nor friends with Chen Dubei, but competitors. Thinking about it, Han Zhan shook his head.
"The intensity of Luck’s backlash is unpredictable, we best not invite trouble; let’s check the situation at the foot of the mountain first."
