Summoning

As Han Dong moved closer to the Dyson Sphere, the smile on Han Dong face remained hard to shake.

This solo event, though fraught with unknowns and risks, is vastly different from previous Destiny Event... Not only are various abilities restricted, but the many ominous signs encountered could lead to serious consequences if not handled carefully.

The deaths of the protagonist and the townspeople will all affect the subsequent developments.

If any step goes wrong, Han Dong will be unable to complete the game normally.

However, Han Dong ultimately succeeded.

The huge reward exceeded Han Dong's expectations... This would mean that his 'personal ability' would rise to a new level, and the subsequent risk of breaking through his seed would also be reduced.

Touching the Dyson Sphere will bring up a search bar that makes it easier to find the item you want.

"Type: Material" → "Quality: Epic" → "Search"

Expensive!

Materials that reach epic quality are incredibly expensive, let alone finished equipment.

Han Dong's current accumulated points are barely enough to buy one piece of material, and he's even short of money for some materials.

Han Dong already had an answer in his mind about what kind of weapon he wanted to forge, so he searched very quickly, skipping most of the useless materials.

After about One Hour of careful searching, I finally found an epic material that met my requirements and was priced just right.

After choosing to redeem, Han Dong's accumulated points will be cleared.

The enormous Dyson Sphere slowly retrieved items from the 'warehouse,' packaged them in a sophisticated white casing, and delivered them to Han Dong.

Rewards settlement and points redemption have been completed.

The target has been detected to have the [Node-Paradise] attribute. Should we teleport to the node area?

The lease can be renewed for the next year within the node. Once renewed, the individual must leave the node world within One Hour.

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye.

Han Dong had already appeared on the 'familiar' streets.

The streets were dark and cold, and the streetlights were out of service.

A long-haired woman hanging from a street lamp slowly retracted the black hair that had spilled out of her abdomen into her body, abandoning her 'predation' idea, and raised her pale and weak hand to greet Han Dong.

Unlike before.

Most of the ghost stories in the park recognize Han Dong, the outsider who killed "Deng Zong," and no longer harbor any hostility towards him.

Since the Lighthouse Supervisor has been replaced by the Third Ghost Story - The Collector, some things in the park have changed as a result.

Although the streets are still pitch black, illuminated only by the lighthouse's spotlights, the ghosts living here no longer look timid and live freely.

These ghost stories only require one thing: to provide collectors with one qualified collectible item each year as 'tax payment'.

You will receive a one-year inner-layer residency right as long as you pay your taxes successfully.

Han Dong's main purpose in going to the amusement park was not management or training.

Instead, it's about doing something important ahead of time.

"Has this... been turned into a collection room?"

When Han Dong re-entered the Lighthouse, the original mental hospital structure inside had been completely abandoned.

This place has been completely transformed into a Lighthouse Museum.

All collectibles that meet the criteria will be displayed inside the lighthouse, which is fully open to the public, and any supernatural tales are allowed inside.

The collector's office on the top floor has been completely transformed into a boutique collection of figurines.

Collectors are completely absorbed in these exquisite collections... somewhat similar to the stereotypical couch potato.

"Mr. Nicholas, what brings you here?"

The collector, whose head was like a safe, immediately straightened his clothes and stepped forward to greet Han Dong, who was walking out of the elevator.

"I need to go to the highest point of the lighthouse to perform a special summoning ritual. I would appreciate it if you could collect the necessary materials for this ritual in a short period of time."

Han Dong handed over the list he was holding.

However, these materials are readily available in the Lighthouse Museum.

Collectors are also generous.

The corresponding materials were immediately delivered to the collector's office via a miniature Lifting Device.

"Excuse me, is there any danger in the summoning ritual you are performing, sir?"

As the person in charge of the park, the collector would need to summon other powerful supernatural beings to deal with any crisis should there be danger.

"There's no danger. You just need to send a city-wide announcement through the lighthouse to tell everyone not to panic... The summoning ritual may create a temporary World Passage, which will be closed soon."

"Good."

Han Dong must perform the summoning ritual at the highest point to establish a stable transmission channel as much as possible.

Draw a formation similar to the one in the forbidden area of the cult, and place the relevant items in the corresponding positions to replace the five stone pillars.

The pink octopus tentacles were placed at the center of the array to open the directional [gate].

"Let's begin... I hope everything goes well."

Han Dong secretly activated the formation using the manipulation techniques in the Ocular Codex.

The ritual props obtained from the collector were drained of their energy in a short time, and a circular passage connecting to the 'deep sea' was successfully built...

For a moment, the sky above the entire park felt like Transform Into a deep sea.

Various strange and indescribable black shadows hovered and moved among the clouds.

Most of the ghost stories residing in the park sensed danger and immediately closed their doors and hid in their rooms.

Only the S-rank ghosts emerged from their respective residences, staring at the deep sea and sky, ready for battle at any moment... However, the voice coming from the lighthouse's broadcast immediately dispelled everyone's concerns.

Han Dong's perspective.

When the [Gate (Directional Deep Sea)] is opened.

Han Dong did not see Nicole immediately.

Instead, through this circular ocean gate, one glimpses a terrifying deep-sea being, comparable to the "King of Ill Omens"...

Giant tentacles stretched the door open and squeezed it out, brushing against Han Dong's cheek and leaving behind a cool, deep-sea liquid.

The sound that could instantly destroy an ordinary life form entered Han Dong's eardrums directly:

"To be able to remain unaffected by us while still in human form... it seems you are more than just an 'envoy.' Now that your identity has been verified, I can entrust my daughter to you with peace of mind."

"Thanks..."

This must be the Father God that Nicole mentioned.

Han Dong remained calm, but his back was already soaked with sweat.

"I will definitely take good care of Nicole, and I will definitely come to Deep Sea if I have the chance in the future."

The tentacles slowly retracted into the doorway.

Immediately afterwards, a dark shadow slowly swam over from the opposite side of the door.

Its lower body is covered with fleshy pink tentacles.

The upper body is that of a normal human, with the vital parts of the body covered by beakers.

With her sea-blue hair and angelic beauty, Nicole quickly squeezed out of the door... She couldn't control her excitement and speed as she escaped the narrow doorway.

The fleshy tentacles pressed down all over Han Dong at once.

"Wow! What kind of world is this!?"

Completely ignoring Han Dong, who was pinned beneath her, Nicole's extraordinary curiosity led her to open her 'eye membrane' and carefully observe this strange world.
