Chapter 1159: Chapter 1158: The Attitude of the Headless Chapter 1159: Chapter 1158: The Attitude of the Headless After reconnecting Chen Li to the prison.
The [Pictorial Book] regarding Chen Li was directly transmitted into Han Dongâs brain.
Upon hearing these brand new terms, Han Dong made a decision, ready to âdress upâ Chen Li a bit, to face the danger that would come after detaching from Fate Space.
After all, itâs a matter of where you entered, thatâs where you will go out⊠The furiously enraged Eugenes and the revived Shoggoth Master would inevitably be at the exit.
[Returning to Black Tower]
Since he had resolved the issue within the time limit, Han Dong wasnât pursued by Black Tower.
Once Han Dong left, a pair of world repair workers wearing Vortex Masks immediately entered the Yin Yang Road world through the same entrance, and if they couldnât correct the world parameters that had gone off course, they might have to press the reset button.
âHeadless, just a moment⊠I have one more question.â
Han Dong stood at the counter and inquired the staff about Derry Town.
After verifying Han Dongâs identity as a shareholder, the staff immediately reported the situation to the âBranch Managerâ in charge here; information regarding the Upper-tier World was not something ordinary staff had the right to inquire into.
Soon, Han Dong received a sealed file regarding Derry Town.
It mentioned that Derry Town had reached the standards to promote and passed all assessments, and it was currently in a special âBreeding periodâ which could take quite some time, but once everything was completed, Han Dong, as a shareholder, would receive a notification.
With this in mind, Han Dong felt reassured and didnât access Derry Town temporarily to avoid causing trouble.
Headless was also somewhat shocked by Han Dongâs network of connections.
âI hadnât expected, kid, that you even invested in an Upper-tier World⊠You should know that itâs very rare for even one Upper-tier World to emerge out of a thousand Middle Worlds.
âUpper-tier Worldâ is the basic requirement for [Becoming King].
A newly formed âUpper-tier Worldâ has the qualification of [Becoming King].
Once the world you invested in grows larger, you might seek a qualification spot there.â
âQualification to [Become King]? Iâll talk about that later.â
Han Dong had heard about this in the London game regarding the matter of âkingshipâ and âqualificationâ.
The number of âkingshipâ positions is directly related to the size of the world, for example, in Hell, there are only âSeven Demon Kingsâ⊠while the Demon World that Han Dong was in boasted a double-digit number of qualifications.
By comparison, one can tell just how vast the Demon World really is.
When thinking about the matter of Derry Town becoming king, the first person Han Dong naturally thought of was the [Town Mayor].
Once the town succeeds in promoting, the Mayor was bound to be the first king.
âDerry Town has its uniqueness, the Upper-tier World is not their end destination⊠In the future, it seems the Ten Devils of the town should all be able to obtain the qualification to become king, so thereâs no need for me to occupy a spot.â
With matters concluded, Han Dong followed Headless back to the combat club branch at the base of Black Tower; he was still a patient now.
Without a hint of attachment or greed.
âYou have completely severed the connection with the âArm of the Headless Yakshaâ; please manually remove it going forward.â
Swoosh!
Pulled outward.
The black fur that had been rooted into Han Dongâs shoulder at the base of his left arm was all pulled out.
As the arm left Han Dongâs body, it immediately returned to its original, bulky state, handed back to Headless without any hesitation.
Han Dong wasnât greedy and knew very well that such an arm wasnât something he could control at the moment; comparatively, the âArm of the Undeadâ was more practical.
Once Headless took the arm back to his body, he casually placed his palm on Han Dongâs shoulder.
âAlright, now that the matter is settled, I need to take you back to the hospital⊠itâs been too long, the [nurse] will hold me responsible.â
âWe picked up Chen Li early, so there should still be time. Iâd like to treat you to something to eat, Headless.â
âTreat me? Unless you sell a node or some shares, you definitely canât afford it with just your rent⊠However, the club does have a [canteen] that serves members, and your body needs some nourishment. Come with me.â
The canteen set up inside the club took up two whole floors of the building.
To meet the diverse needs of members, the canteen offered dozens of different styles of food stations, such as: [Bug Zone], [Crystal Zone], [Radiation Zone], [Autophagy Zone], [High Acidity Zone]âŠ
Moreover, the food provided here focused on high nutrition, high protein, to quickly replenish the energy required by membersâ bodies.
Han Dong finally found a window marked [Organic Zone] and ordered some strange meat patties he had never seen before, along with a glass of fresh-pressed blue crystal vegetable juice.
Headless, on the other hand, ordered several bizarre-looking animals directly from the [Living Zone], ready to feast.
âSpit it out, what is it? Donât mind me, just say whatever you want.â
âWell⊠Headless, someone of your rank should be quite clear about which world I come from, right?
I wanted to ask what your attitude is towards our world.â
âThatâs it?
Our combat club cares about the individual member, we never concern ourselves with the world they come from⊠Though the world you belong to is indeed a bit troublesome, it doesnât affect your personal matters in the club.
If youâre asking about my attitude toward your worldâŠ
Any super world not under [Black Tower]âs control is seen as a treasure trove to everyone, because your world is not dominated by the tower and remains pristine.
If I get the chance, Iâd also like to go there and make a fortune.
However, if the Black Tower forcibly requires me, or any other club member, to act against your world, we would not agree to it.â
Hearing this response, Han Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, Headless changed to telepathic communication:
âMake sure you improve your status within the club⊠come here and engage in a [Death] fight with other members whenever you have the chance.
If you fosters good relationships here, in the future, we might be able to give you a hand.
Even if they are restricted by Black Tower and canât help, at least they wonât pose a threat to you or your world⊠Keep in mind that our club members are the elite from various worlds, and making connections with them is very beneficial to you.
And the way to make these connections is through combat.â
âOkay.â
âBy the way!â Headless switched back to speaking aloud, âIâm quite taken with the little girl you brought back. I happen to have some discarded equipment here, consider it a gift for our first meeting.â
As he spoke,
Headless stretched his arm into the opening at his neck, fumbled around inside his body, and pulled out a bizarre weapon that made Han Dongâs scalp tingleâŠ
âThis⊠Headless, arenât you being too generous to me?â
Although Han Dongâs intuition felt no ill intent from Headless, the constant benevolence made him feel as if Headless had some special interest in him, and he might soon ask Han Dong to visit his house to check out some goodies.
âDonât mind it, the club is so big, and youâre the most pleasing member Iâve come across⊠After all, youâre without a body, and Iâm without a head; in a way, we are similar.
This weapon is of no use to me anymore, I would throw it away sooner or later.
Consider it an investment in you. If you rise to become a [King] one day and Iâm still alive, then Iâll ask for a favor in return.â
âNo problem.â
