My Cell Prison
Chapter 924 - Chapter 924 Chapter 923 Visitors

Chapter 924: Chapter 923 Visitors Chapter 924: Chapter 923 Visitors [5%-20%] Merely in terms of restrictions, it’s a whole fourfold increase.

Although it’s called ‘redeeming’ one’s power, it still requires a certain amount of time to adapt.

Just as Han Dong had said.

He hoped his teammates would treat their experience in the City of Gods’ Prometheus as a second life, not to bring in any external distractions, to fully integrate themselves with the local culture, and to completely adapt to the biological technology and evolution system there.

After the restrictions were partially lifted, team members returned to their respective organizational structures.

Although Han Dong was chosen by the High Priest, he also had one day to say goodbye to his organization and to rest and recalibrate.

Ever since arriving in the City of Gods, he had received special care from the Colosseum, especially from the Warden, so it was natural for him to pay a visit.

However.

Before Han Dong had even officially stepped into the Colosseum’s gate, several managers with extraordinary attire and various forms came to greet him personally, and after throwing a long string of complimentary remarks, they even handed Han Dong a significant sum of money.

They also signaled to Han Dong that he no longer had any relationship with the Colosseum and just needed to focus on developing within the Black Pyramid.

Soon, the Warden came over to pull Han Dong aside.

“These are the upper echelons of the Colosseum, with a status similar to mine.

Actually, it’s quite understandable, the City of Gods values ‘talent’ highly.

As the institution that nurtured you, because you’ve been acknowledged by the Black Pyramid and stayed to work internally, we also received a reward from the Pharaoh and even accumulated certain development privileges for our company.

The friendly reception is simply because they think that with your potential, you may someday take the position of an official Priest or even High Priest and be able to use the current relationship to secure benefits for the [Colosseum].”

Han Dong nodded and replied with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. Bath, for your cultivation all this time. If I truly take up a certain position in the future, and if the Colosseum or you, sir, need any help, I will definitely do my best.”

“You’ve merely obtained the ‘ticket’. The competition inside the Black Pyramid is fiercer and more dangerous than in any other area. Focus on your own affairs first.”

With that, the Warden placed his arm on Han Dong’s shoulder, using such a gesture to encourage Han Dong… little did he know this contact was significant.

The Warden’s body trembled, the power contained within Han Dong even made him feel danger.

Growth was inevitable, but not this fast.

City of Gods slaves who passed the ‘promotion competition’ were to be given the ‘Black Water Surgery’ provided by the Black Pyramid, using higher quality Black Water to guide mutation according to individual traits.

However, the surgery was not carried out immediately, but after the competitors had rested for a while.

The Warden suddenly remembered that decades ago the City of Gods had also seen similar Outsiders, who, as they passed the various “promotion competitions” set by the Black Pyramid, all showed a clear improvement in their abilities… It was almost like a process of gradually unlocking powers.

However, these people all disappeared in the end and did not bring about significant change to the City of Gods.

The Warden was well aware that this was one of Han Dong’s secrets as an ‘alien’ and did not say much about it.

The Warden pointed to Maritzis following behind Han Dong, “By the way… your slave has also passed the promotion competition.

Do you continue to keep her by your side, or leave her to us for cultivation?

With her Priest physique and the current status of ‘White Slave’, she will also receive special treatment in the Colosseum.”

“Let’s do this, I will visit the High Priest – Tutramon tomorrow.

At that time, I’ll ask if I can bring Mary along. If it’s possible, I believe the pyramid will give you all another subsidy. If not, then I’ll send her back.”

Since Han Dong had decided to cultivate mobile energy… Miss Mary, he naturally tended to bring her along for the entire journey.

“No problem.”

“Mr. Bath, farewell.”

…

The initial hotel stay in the City of Gods — [Pinodes’s Black Gold Hotel]

The moment the Bone Worm Key matched and unlocked the door.

One could see Maritzis’s close-fitting combat suit flying through the air, leaving only a fleeting silhouette as she darted into the bathroom… Her ability that had been unlocked demanded hydration, which was also why she had been silent all along.

As Han Dong was about to familiarize himself with his body through meditation.

The voice from the bathroom came through, “Nicholas, can you come in for a second?”

“What for?”

“A part of the power has been unsealed.”

“At the current level of demons, some high-level secret arts involving the ‘Truth’ can barely be used… I want to try if your body can adapt to such a secret art augmentation.”

“Sure.”

When he arrived at the bathroom door–

Through the semi-translucent frosted glass, one could faintly make out the figure of a graceful body lying in the bathtub.

Just as Han Dong was about to push the door open–

Knock, knock, knock…

The door to the apartment was being knocked.

“Who is it?”

Han Dong was about to make use of the opportunity to pair a ‘capacity-increasing’ portable charger when he was abruptly interrupted and felt slightly annoyed.

“Could it be Mia…”

Thinking it over, the most likely person to come knocking was Mia.

Mia, who had been promoted in status, could easily use the organization’s resources to find Han Dong’s residence.

He opened the door with a strange feeling–

But standing outside was an old man whose body exhibited a ‘segmented form’.

The flesh and bones at the joints had been removed, and only tough strands of nerves connected them.

“Mr. Heize?”

The old man at the door was the shop owner who had sold the Bone Ring of the Dead to Han Dong.

Having watched Han Dong’s performance in the competition through a live stream and seeing the equipment he made being utilized to its fullest potential by Han Dong, Mr. Heize’s dream seemed to have come true.

“The manner in which you conducted yourself in the competition was very powerful… Going forward, you’ll be working for the High Priest in the Black Pyramid, right? Once you become a Probationary Priest, you won’t have much free time.

I’ve come today to propose a secret partnership with you.

I’ve booked a room next to yours; let’s talk there.”

Han Dong had also tasted the benefits of the ring, and it was because of this ring that he was able to execute the Terror Source Monster.

“Alright… Miss Mary, I need to step out for a bit, I’ll be back later.”

“Oh.” The reply sounded slightly disappointed.

When Mary heard that Han Dong was going out–

Maritzis reluctantly withdrew her legs, which she had stretched out on either side of the tub, back into the water, her expression somewhat bored.

…

Half an hour later–

Sitting in the room next door, Han Dong received a detailed list of items.

“These materials only exist within the Black Pyramid and are directly controlled by the Pharaoh’s treasury… If you can collect them, bring them to me.

I’ll waive the fees and craft an item beyond imagination for you.”
