[Identifying the items you have picked up!]

[Item: Pristine multicolored gemstone chandelier]

[Quality: Bai] 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

[Function: Limited area illumination]

[Description: A luxury crafted by Barbarian Bear with heavy investment, featuring five never-extinguishing gemstone cores]

Lin Lan gasped for breath, piling the heavy lamp he had taken down on an empty spot, then collapsed onto the sofa to recover his strength.

This thing was already the most valuable treasure in the office.

Just as he imagined, despite the glitzy and flamboyant appearance of this sea-bound city, the practical resources sailors could scavenge were actually scarce.

Delving deeper, the world was riddled with logical gaps everywhere.

What do the local citizens eat? What do they use? What work do they do? What kind of life do they live?

All were blank.

Flower Celestial City is essentially a chaotic cycle shell, where local citizens are merely tools for the Beauty God to consume Justice. They have been domesticated into the hollow chasers of Pure Beauty, completely losing their productive capabilities.

Take the camera device for instance.

[Item: Illusory light and shadow photography device]

[Quality: Gray]

[Function: Store images]

[Description: Working principles unknown, this item can only be used in Flower Celestial City]

Perhaps the real camera device had long decayed and broken over time, and the current Celestial City technology is merely an illusion mimicked by the Beauty God with immense power.

"The most common element in the Deep Sea Gray Realm is this kind of illusory tool."

Eleanor sat beside Lin Lan, crossing her long legs: "They are part of the deep sea, and sailors cannot bring them into the real world."

Lin Lan sighed regretfully.

The vehicle they took was also an illusory mirage.

Thinking back, the enormous profits spoken by the chilling sailor on the ground are most likely the flower seeds gifted by the Beauty God.

The ability to instantly grant ordinary mortals extraordinary power is incredibly profitable for those greedy merchants and politicians in the Alliance.

They would definitely put a price tag on ’valuable’ pioneering opportunities and find ways to squeeze every drop of blood from the buyer.

That fellow driven insane by debt was the perfect example.

This is a Celestial Calamity disguised as a ’blessing’...

Lin Lan gazed solemnly at the neon night view outside the window, the pressures Ark Kingdom would face in the future would only increase...

Barbarian Bear’s hometown had already been stripped bare by Lin Lan.

Molly and Daisy were full of enthusiasm for this treasure-hunting adventure because Lord Lin Lan said the treasures they collected belonged to them!

The two Feis girls wagged their tails, carrying various decorative items like little misers.

Ansel’s actions were even more exaggerated; under Lin Lan’s instructions, he peeled off the exquisite wall skin and floor tiles, leaving the lavish hall in ruins.

Lin Lan quietly observed the labor of his companions. Although most of the items were valueless luxuries, even the smallest mosquito is meat.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Eleanor raised the topic.

"Of course, we’re going to spread the light and shadow, plunging the entire Flower Celestial City into fear, ultimately making the citizens remember our faces."

Lin Lan voiced his thoughts without reservation: "Although this plan might take some time..."

He glanced at his experienced companion: "By the way, how do we return during this time?"

Eleanor replied bluntly: "Either let the Sea Waves (Roman) completely accept us or break our Sea Waves anchor point, fully abandoning this sea region’s pioneering opportunity."

"What if we can’t do either?"

"We would be completely lost in the deep sea, forever finding no way back."

"Is it that dangerous?" Lin Lan was somewhat startled.

"What else?"

Eleanor rolled her eyes: "Eighty percent of sailors die this way, there are plenty of arrogant fools; only cautious veterans can survive in the deep sea."

"If Roman abandons us and escapes alone, we would certainly fall into the most difficult situation."

She poked the boy’s shoulder with the tip of her tail: "I suggest it’s best to have someone keep an eye on him the entire time."

"No need for that."

Lin Lan smiled: "I trust he won’t leave us."

"Why do you always have such strange confidence?"

Eleanor closely watched Lin Lan’s eyes, yet found his gaze remained calm.

"I’ve noticed early on, you seem easy to get along with, yet in reality carry an inexplicable stubbornness and rigidity."

Taking this rare break, the thoughtful Eleanor voiced her innermost thoughts.

"How can one accurately describe it? It’s as though you would never fear or doubt, always clearly knowing which direction is correct, and possess a hundred percent confidence in it."

She pondered for a while, her tone becoming whimsical: "Suddenly, I feel the real you is actually very, very far from us, no matter how we chase, we always see a confident back."

Lin Lan was silent for a while.

"Actually, it’s not confidence, but rather simple belief, Eleanor."

He suddenly spoke seriously: "Because believing in others is all I can offer."

"Belief is everything?" Eleanor was taken aback.

"Yes, that’s all of me."

Lin Lan faced the scrutiny in her eyes unflinchingly: "I am willing to believe in those who hold ideals, refusing to bow in the face of Celestial Calamity."
