The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 217 - 217: Summoning

This time, the transformed Diao Chan finally had her own seat and tableware, but the idiot was holding the chopsticks in a little fist, looking cluelessly at Zhu Haomiao.

"Chirp~"

"..."

Realizing that this guy had no idea how to use chopsticks, Zhu Haomiao pinched his forehead in frustration.

Taking care of a pet only requires feeding it water and food on time, but taking care of a little girl means considering so many things!!

"Wait, don't use your hands!"

Seeing Diao Chan impatiently starting to use her hands, Zhu Haomiao gently tapped her fair hand with a chopstick.

"Chirp~"

"Use the spoon first. I'll teach you how to use chopsticks later."

He handed her a spoon, watching her clumsily scoop food and eat, her face covered in grease. Zhu Haomiao rubbed his forehead in slight pain.

"Diao Chan, is it good?"

Li Cang and another person beside him didn't mind at all, lovingly wiping her face and feeding her.

"Yummy! Love!"

"Then eat more."

"Eat lots!"

...

With Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang helping to take care, Zhu Haomiao was happy to be idle, wholeheartedly enjoying his food.

But halfway through the meal, he suddenly trembled all over, looking at his chest in surprise.

"Shui, what's wrong?"

Ye Wan Ning, noticing his odd expression, gave him a curious glance.

"The [Dragon Emblem]... it's moving!"

He opened his jacket, revealing the slightly trembling [Dragon Emblem]. Zhu Haomiao blinked in confusion.

"I think I hear some kind of call."

Seeing this, Li Cang quickly explained.

"There's a supernatural disaster nearby. The state is summoning Transcendents of corresponding Heavenly Positions and energy levels, you can respond to the call!"

"Huh? How do I respond?"

"Use spiritual power."

Just as Zhu Haomiao was about to use his spiritual power to delve into the [Dragon Emblem], the badge on his chest stopped vibrating.

"Uh... it stopped, seems like it has ceased."

Seeing the boy's clueless and foolish expression, Ye Wan Ning sighed helplessly.

"This means there's already enough dominance response to the call, unless the situation escalates, the state won't deploy further."

"Oh."

Having never encountered such a matter before, Zhu Haomiao was rather curious, looking toward Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang.

"Senior Sister, I've received the call, why didn't you two receive one?"

Hearing his outrageous question, Li Cang was bemused, pursing his lips.

"Most supernatural disasters are couplings of the Illusion Realm and reality; the Heavenly Position is downward compatible, meaning High Sky Rank is compatible with Low Heaven Position."

"Conversely, Transcendents of High Sky Rank can't enter Low Heaven Position abnormal areas because our energy level is too strong, it will be repelled by Plane Law."

"So, when a supernatural disaster occurs, the state first confirms the Heavenly Position, then summons Transcendents of the corresponding Heavenly Position and different energy levels, while evacuating Mortals and Low Heaven Position Transcendents within the range as much as possible."

"Generally, based on the disaster range, the state ensures some redundancy, but dominance level entities are usually not more than 10, you reacted slowly and didn't respond before it filled up."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao was even more curious.

"Since it's downward compatible, are Low Heaven Position Transcendents useless in High Sky Rank abnormal areas? Why evacuate them with Mortals?"

Li Cang shook his head: "Not exactly, if it's only one Heavenly Position apart, the dominance can still be used as a bit of Gold."

"But once it exceeds two Heavenly Positions, the gap in [Quality] can't be compensated by [Quantity]; the massive Heavenly Position suppression will press down dominance level to nearly Mortal level in reality."

"So it's stipulated to evacuate them all as much as possible."

Nodding thoughtfully, Zhu Haomiao continued to ask.

"What are the benefits of dealing with supernatural disasters? Why is everyone scrambling to respond?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wan Ning explained.

"Of course there are benefits, the state will evaluate comprehensively based on your energy level, the danger encountered during actions, contributions made, etc., and finally pay [True Contribution Points]."

"True Contribution Points?"

Zhu Haomiao raised an eyebrow, recalling the Virtual Points of the [Yanhuang Armory] in the Illusion Realm.

"Yes, like the Virtual Points in the Illusion Realm, you can use [Real Points] in the real world's [Yanhuang Armory] to exchange for various rare items, including the [Storage Type True Object] you desire."

"Even [True Objects] are available?!"

Zhu Haomiao's breath hitched, and his heart felt a bit of a twist.

Those are treasures you can't buy even with money!

"By the way, can [True Contribution Points] be exchanged for money?"

"Of course, the official exchange rate for 1 Real Point is 10,000 RMB, but hardly anyone uses such precious resources to exchange for money."

At this, Ye Wan Ning turned serious and looked solemnly at Zhu Haomiao.

"Shui, the supernatural disasters in reality are different from the Illusion Realm; it's a coupling region of True and Illusion, with chaotic laws and bizarre sights. Upon entry, you can only exert part of your Illusion Realm power, more crucially..."

Ye Wan Ning's voice gradually lowered, staring intently into the boy's dark pupils.

"If you die in the abnormal area, you're truly dead."

"Don't take responding to calls lightly, even if you're a top expert of the corresponding Heavenly Position, you may not be able to neutralize all dangers."

"Countless dominances die in supernatural disasters each year."

"If you want to respond, you must be prepared for sacrifice!"

Listening to Ye Wan Ning's serious and stern warning, Zhu Haomiao nodded earnestly.

"I understand, Senior Sister."

Then, suddenly changing the subject, he asked curiously.

"As a First Layer Heaven dominance, how many [Real Points] can I earn dealing with a supernatural disaster?"

"It's basically 100 points at the start. If injured or contributing more, there's extra 'performance' rewards, possibly up to two or three hundred points."

Two or three hundred points!? Isn't that two or three million RMB?!!!

Rounding up to a billion!!!

Zhu Haomiao's pupils shrank, and he immediately put on a mask of agony, feeling as though his heart was clenched by invisible hands, bringing wave after wave of pain.

Damn, I'm losing so much money!!!

Seeing his bereft look, Ye Wan Ning knew exactly what he was thinking, rolling her eyes at him.

"If you're truly short on money, I can lend you some. I was joking with you before, don't recklessly go on adventures. Learn the knowledge related to supernatural disasters before heading in, got it?"

Hearing Ye Wan Ning's stern warning, Zhu Haomiao shrunk his neck.

"Oh."

In the following days, Zhu Haomiao was distracted, dwelling on losing a billion, often waking up in the middle of the night to slap himself.

Soon, Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang's holiday ended, and they returned to the Illusion Realm to "work".

Zhu Haomiao also returned to the Illusion Realm shortly after they left.
