Infinite Paradise
Chapter 56: What happened? What happened?

Chapter 56: What happened? What happened?

After a whole night of pre-battle preparation, Le Cheng was bursting with vitality and in high spirits. Standing in front of the window, watching the rising sun, he felt as if there was a fierce beast calling out to him from within. Thus, when he received the "Work Notification" from Infinite Paradise, he didn’t hesitate to log in with Elizabeth.

[Player: Le Cheng]

[ID: 114514]

[Nickname: Gai Baonan]

[Player Level: Second Tier (Experience 70/100)]

[...]

[Demon Yin Body: A physique that has successfully accumulated yin qi, allowing unhindered contact with all spirit-type creatures, and the creation of an external spirit. The external spirit has no combat capabilities, but possesses 100% of the original body’s informational aspect. It can also cause mental disturbances to enemies, leading to confusion, screaming, scratching, and even cognitive distortion. If the external spirit is destroyed, it can be recreated after 24 hours.]

"Alright, alright, Demon Yin Body it is."

Le Cheng checked his panel first and indeed, after Infinite Paradise’s assessment, he had acquired a new skill.

No wonder he encountered female ghosts from the Underworld in the mortal world; it wasn’t that he was special, but rather his physique was. As for the external spirit, he had used it before, using it as bait that Elizabeth easily took care of with her clone, but now, looking at the attributes of this external spirit, it would be a shame not to cultivate it into an ancient god.

With this thought, he turned to look at Elizabeth, who was hovering around him.

This girl, ever since she accidentally witnessed his outstanding threesome with Clara and Elena last night, she acted like she was possessed. Every time she saw him, she would accuse him of being a pervert. Although Le Cheng quite enjoyed this sort of praise, he couldn’t really grasp why Elizabeth looked at him as if he were something vile, when in fact he had unlocked many new playstyles, greatly enhancing the quality of the threesome.

However, once they arrived in Infinite Paradise, Elizabeth’s attention was completely shifted, especially by the square little black box that felt both foreign and familiar to her. Then, like a curious baby, she started circling around it non-stop.

"Okay, stop spinning, or you’ll make my eyes dizzy." Le Cheng pulled her down.

"Is this the Infinite Paradise you were talking about?"

"More like a login pod."

"So, how do we get to Infinite Paradise?"

"Don’t rush; I need to buy you a labor contract first." Le Cheng said, opening the shop.

"Labor contract?"

"Yeah, although you’re my Contractor, if you’re coming to work in Infinite Paradise, you still need a work permit."

As he spoke, Le Cheng exchanged a labor contract for Elizabeth... oh wait, its official name was Comprehensive Contract Pass, suitable for humans, ghosts, Pokémon, mechanical life forms, and all non-player summoned creatures, priced at 5,000 points.

Although expensive, it was worth the price.

Because with this pass, Le Cheng could take Elizabeth into the dungeon world, and her combat power wouldn’t be counted towards the player... Let’s put it this way, before entering a dungeon randomly, Paradise evaluates the player’s current level, potential, and expended points to give a battle power rating, and then matches the player with a dungeon world fitting to that rating, with the fluctuation of the rating not exceeding 20%.

Le Cheng is currently Second Tier, with exactly 10,000 points spent, and with his potential considered, if Paradise’s power evaluation for him is 80, then the overall power level of the dungeon world he goes to would be in the range of 64 to 96.

And for Elizabeth, whether her combat power is 5 or 100, it won’t affect Le Cheng’s power rating.

In other words, if a player manages to get a Saiyan with a power level of 100,000 to sign this labor contract, the additional power rating for the player wouldn’t be 100,000 but merely the value of the 5,000 points labor contract.

Yes, theoretically, this is a loophole in exploiting Paradise’s system.

Of course, how big a loophole one can exploit depends on the player’s ability, because the price of labor contracts will continuously increase as the player’s level rises. Lower-level players, even if they can afford a labor contract, can’t meet those with tens to hundreds of thousands of combat power. By the time players actually reach that level, those with combat power of tens to hundreds of thousands might be as common as dogs in the streets.

But clearly, Elizabeth’s value far exceeded 5,000 points, so for Le Cheng, this was a surefire profitable deal.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that Elizabeth could also use his points for strengthening.

"I, Saint Elizabeth, hereby vow: I am the doer of all good deeds in the mortal world, the embodiment of all evils on earth. The long night is coming, and from this moment on, I shall keep watch. I will take no husband, bear no children, wear no crowns, and seek no glory. I am the sword in the darkness, the watcher on the walls, the flame that guards against the cold, the light at break of dawn. To those impoverished, ill, or handicapped, I pledge my life and honor, this night and all nights to come, until death... Oh Beautiful Happy!"

Muttering the lines from the service contract under her breath, Elizabeth couldn’t keep it together halfway through.

"Why do I feel like this script is a bit weird?"

"Oh, that’s my own patchwork, meant to give a sense of ritual."

"..."

How much did you actually patch up?!

Elizabeth wanted to complain, but then she thought, whether the lines are stitched together or original, it didn’t change the fact that she had been sold. So, she simply signed the contract.

After signing the service contract, Le Cheng took out 1,500 points and casually strengthened Elizabeth a bit, and then used the last 500 points to buy himself a belt... This belt had a very high-tech feel to it, especially the middle part, which would occasionally flash with digital symbols and a cool blue light, making it look like it was about to transform at any moment, definitely a tool to show off.

Everything was ready, and Le Cheng immediately lay down in his eternal home—the little black box.

Not sure if it was because she hadn’t recovered from last night’s shock, or because she was afraid of being poked, Elizabeth chose to possess his belt.

What followed was the familiar blurring of consciousness...

Cold, shivering.

Le Cheng woke up to find himself sitting against a window in a train car, outside the window was a vast expanse of snow, the bone-chilling cold penetrating even through the glass.

"Damn it, this is a snowy dungeon world, so cold!"

"I was born in Siberia, this climate is pretty warm for me."

"I feel it, my animal friends are calling out to me..."

"Hey hey hey, the polar snowfield, the pale world, my spirit is ablaze... Hey hey hey!"

A jumbled mix of voices reached Le Cheng’s ears, including English, French, Russian, and Chinese, and there was even someone who just started rapping on the spot. Le Cheng focused and saw that, in addition to himself, there were six other people in the carriage, five men and two women, including a black man wearing headphones enthusiastically rapping. But he wasn’t the most eye-catching; the most striking was the silver-haired beauty speaking Russian, wearing black thigh-high boots, and standing tall.

Le Cheng felt like he had gone from a US server to a world server, but luckily, he knew a little bit of many languages.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, there was a loud collision, and the whole carriage shook violently, sending the unprepared players tumbling.

At the same time...

"What’s happened? What’s happened?"

What the hell is that noise?!

The six players at the front turned around abruptly, and upon seeing the technologically advanced belt at Le Cheng’s waist, one of them couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.

"Holy shit! A Voice Changing Belt?!"
