Chapter 926: Chapter 925 Conditions and Memory Chapter 926: Chapter 925 Conditions and Memory “The Forbidden Area… the former creator…”

Those two keywords alone had alerted Han Dong to the danger.

Even with the release of [20%] of the restrictions, Han Dong wasn’t very confident about heading to the so-called Forbidden Area.

However, since it involved the fundamental region of this planet,

even the Black Pyramid itself, including the distinguished High Priest, was coveting the items within the Forbidden Area.

Perhaps Han Dong could find some treasures there, or even break the myth.

With this thought, High Priest Tutramon continued,

“The risk is naturally high, but not to the extent of ‘nine deaths and one life’.”

“The City of Gods places great importance on ‘talent’, and I have high expectations for you… Before heading to the [Forbidden Area], you must submit an application to the management of the Black Pyramid; only after it is approved can you enter into the City of Gods.

You should know that the City of Gods essentially belongs to a living city, active in the inner layer of this planet.

It will likely pass by the Forbidden Area between 2 and 3 a.m., and that’s the only window you have to enter and leave the Forbidden Area.

Timing it well will greatly increase your survival rate.

Moreover, the Black Pyramid also values those slaves who can return alive from the Forbidden Area; even if you don’t bring back anything useful, you can still earn a higher [Contribution Value] than from completing ordinary tasks.”

“if you are willing to accept the proposition of the Forbidden Area.

As your supervisor, I will provide some conveniences and risk-reducing exploration equipment.”

The last statement indeed brought Han Dong a wave of pleasant surprise.

Providing certain rewards in advance was quite comforting… after all, Han Dong was someone with a side mission.

Seizing on this point, Han Dong quickly took out a list, “I don’t need the exploratory equipment, but could you provide these materials instead?”

“What do you need these materials for…” the High Priest’s mind was exceedingly sharp, and he immediately sensed something amiss, “Few people can handle such materials. The bone ring you used to change forms in the competition wasn’t directly provided by the [Colosseum], was it? Such a skillfully crafted ring is quite rare.

Do you know any master craftsman personally?”

Han Dong simply couldn’t lie about this… after all, there weren’t many master craftsmen in the entire City of Gods, and any lie would be immediately seen through.

“Heize Zeppelin.”

Upon hearing this name, the High Priest froze for a moment, his gold mask even undulating up and down.

“The former chief manufacturer of Osiris Agricultural Heavy Industry who, fifty years ago, due to dissatisfaction with the Black Pyramid’s interference in the heavy industry projects, left everything behind and disappeared.

Where did you meet him?”

“Trade area.”

“The common slaves’ trade area, huh? Quite the stubborn old man… I didn’t expect, that you would have ties with him.

That explains it then, the old man can indeed handle these materials.

Alright!

I will need to apply for a small portion of these materials from my superiors; it might take at least three days… I can help you obtain the materials without fail.

However, you must also do one extra thing for me.”

“Please tell me,” Han Dong said.

“When you go to see Heize Zeppelin, take me with you… I have no vendetta or dispute with him, it won’t affect your equipment-making; I just want to meet this quirky old craftsman.

See if I can persuade him to work in my factory.”

“…Alright.”

“Hahaha! It’s truly one surprise after another; I didn’t expect you to have such ‘luck’… Without that ring, you could hardly have executed the Terror Source Monster constructed from my fingers in the competition.”

“If there’s nothing else, you may leave now,”

Han Dong was somewhat baffled.

Although he needed to go to the Forbidden Area eventually, as a Probationary Priest within the pyramid, he was also supposed to have basic tasks… yet now he had no idea what to do.

“Speaking of which, what do I need to do as a ‘Probationary Priest’?”

“The factory isn’t short on manpower right now, there’s nothing for you to help with.

Considering you will be going to the [Forbidden Land], basic tasks are waived.

What you need to do these days is ‘study’ and ‘mutate’.

With your status, you can go to the priest area in the Black Pyramid for related magic studies, how you study is up to you.

Also, because you passed through the [promotion competition], you will enjoy one Black Water surgery, arrange the time yourself.”

Han Dong was very interested in ‘studying’.

It could be said that when Han Dong arrived at this planet dominated by alien life science and technology, he had hoped to someday access the planet’s library and quickly understand the entire new scientific system of this planet by reading the books previously organized by the predecessors.

This relentless pursuit of learning was innate to Han Dong.

As for ‘mutation’, Han Dong kept a reserved attitude, he had to first see the quality of the Black Water the pyramid provided.

If it was substandard, Han Dong would not arbitrarily inject it into his body, lest it disrupt his own power system… White Slaves were just a bit above common residents, Han Dong estimated that getting a medium-quality Black Water would already be quite good.

However, Han Dong had one more request before leaving; seeing the High Priest laughing so happily, he asked directly.

“The promotion competition this time was managed by you, could I see the complete recording of the [promotion competition]?”

“Is there an enemy of yours in the participants?”

“Not an enemy exactly… just the kind of relationship where even if I hide, the other party will still come after me.”

“Hmm, I can give you the recording.

But your own problems, you solve them yourself… I’ll not intervene. If you can’t even defeat a fellow White Slave, there’s no point in talking about the ‘Pharaoh’.”

“Thank you!”

The High Priest’s slightly bulged back area seemed to have something actively separate from it.

Hiss~ a Facehugger with bristly black hairs, holding a ‘brain’ with a metal interface, presented it to Han Dong.

This modified brain, akin to a portable hard drive, was one of many in the High Priest’s back, used to store various types of memory data, allowing him to perform various tasks more efficiently.

Holding the portable brain, Han Dong left the workshop with Maritzis.

The High Priest wasted no time, he grabbed the list provided by Han Dong and headed straight to the pyramid’s treasury to request the precious materials needed.

…

Back to the familiar [Inn].

Mary soaked in the bathtub once again.

Han Dong interfaced the ‘Skull Ritual’ with the portable brain from the bedside, initiating memory retrieval.

The purpose of requesting the memory recording was twofold: to roughly understand the Dragon City and Capital City Squad’s performance and their gains in the competition… Also, to try to locate the still-unseen “Fifth Team”.

“The Dragon City Team is indeed formidable… If they really were to face the Terror Source, they might even be able to execute it.

They actually found the treasure set in the competition by the pyramid in the lowest layer… Luckily, I had already established a relationship, otherwise being targeted by them would truly be troublesome.

The Capital City Engineer’s performance was also not bad, all members passed.

Hmm… what’s the deal with this team?”
