Who Was the King of Promiscuity?!

How much time do we have left?

It sounded like a completely nonsensical statement, but Xu Nan didn't question whether the Treasure Chest God had used inappropriate language when expressing his question.

In fact, deities are very careful in their choice of words and actions.

They wouldn't put themselves in danger: Xu Nan had previously thought that the repeated appearance of Tiamat's remains in treasure chests was too magical, but now it seems that it was indeed a scheme set up by Tiamat and McKen.

Since McKen asked this question, it makes at least three things clear: First, he really wants to know the answer; second, he is certain that the "Lord of Lost Paradise" he mentioned can understand his question; and third, he is unwilling to reveal too much information, at least he doesn't want Xu Nan to know too much right now.

The third point puzzled Xu Nan. Given the frankness and sincerity that the Treasure Chest God had shown before, it seemed rather ungentlemanly to play word games that concealed the truth at this time.

If he wants to win Xu Nan's favor, then doing so would be a huge loss.

But his expression remained very serious, staring straight at Xu Nan as if trying to see something in his eyes.

Xu Nan didn't say anything more, but pretended to think for a moment before agreeing.

In fact, he had never heard of any "Lord of Lost Paradise"!

You should know that since he joined Lost Paradise, he has only heard of the names of Three Legends who protect this Pure Land of Lost Paradise; while the people in the Supreme Council are in charge of the day-to-day operations.

Xu Nan had absolutely no clue about McKen's problem, but that's precisely why he decided to consult with Mr. Luo Mang about it.

Who knows, maybe this seemingly harmless McKen is actually plotting some grand conspiracy?

It is uncertain whether there was once a so-called Lord of Lost Paradise Lost Paradise, but after the Arcane Empire was exiled, some unknown events occurred during the semi-hidden period of Lost Paradise, causing the Lord of Lost Paradise to be unknown to the public.

These are all reasonable inferences.

After McKen explained the whole situation, Xu Nan learned to think about problems from a more comprehensive perspective.

It wasn't that he didn't trust McKen, but rather that everyone has their own purpose in doing things.

Tiamat's reincarnation into Lin Sphere to overcome his limitations is somewhat reasonable; Emolan's high-stakes, desperate gamble to steal Susie's fruit is also understandable; but McKen's expending so much effort, only to trick Emolan, to save Susie's life was entirely unnecessary. And just to ask such a nonsensical question makes his role as the Treasure Chest God seem rather pointless...

Unless, of course, this question has some unspeakable significance for him.

However, given the lack of information at the moment, Xu Nan dared not make a hasty judgment.

The only thing he was certain of was that McKen was indeed after his identity as Ron Sorcerer, and it seemed he couldn't access the higher-ups of Lost Paradise, so he had to go through an intermediary to become a principal.

"I will inquire on your behalf," Xu Nan said, carefully choosing her words.

McKen smiled slightly, "That would be best."

"Alright, there's not much time left, so don't worry too much. The treasure chests I distribute are all random. Except in extremely high-stakes situations, I don't really want to interfere with the contents of the treasure chests..."

"Hopefully, Mr. Xu Nan will not give up his promising career of opening treasure chests because of this incident."

Xu Nan couldn't help but sneer inwardly: I don't believe your nonsense!

Still trying to trick me into opening more treasure chests? Who knows if I'll be completely outmaneuvered next time I open one! He calls himself the Treasure Chest God, but Xu Nan actually believes he's God of Conspiracy!

Want him to keep opening treasure chests... Hmph! Give me another Mask Emblem like Qin Lele's, the one with a shared class!

Of course, Xu Nan was just making casual remarks in his mind. What he really wanted to test was whether McKen would use his mind- Mind Reading on him. But from beginning to end, McKen's performance was impeccable. It seemed that a god showing such respect to a mortal was already a great favor.

"What I'm most curious about is, how exactly did Emolan do it?"

Xu Nan coughed and asked softly, "As far as I know, the current Earth is simply unable to support the descent of the will of the gods."

McKen smiled. "He paid a terrible price. I doubt you'd be happy to see his few remaining Blood Worship Cultists collectively perform that horrific magical ritual..."

"Theoretically, the will of the gods cannot descend, but Emolan chose to take a risk. He integrated his tomb into the Plane Bubble and fixed it on the Lin Sphere, thus gaining the upper hand; but in doing so, he also put himself in a very disadvantageous position. Once an enemy finds this place, he will surely die."

"Of course, given the current state of Earth, there shouldn't be many people who can pose a threat to his tomb. Time is running out. Before we meet again, my advice to you is: permanently seal this tomb, send resolute humans to guard the perimeter, and prevent any living being from entering..."

As they spoke, the hourglass beside McKen had run dry. The gentle young man smiled softly, his mouth still opening and closing, but his voice had disappeared.

Xu Nan could tell from his lip movements that he was saying goodbye, and thought to herself that this Treasure Chest God was quite polite.

The next second, McKen's image completely disappeared.

The entire cemetery world has regained its cold and desolate atmosphere.

Before Xu Nan returned to the castle, he found that not much time had passed. Zhang Jian and the others' attitude towards his return was probably the same as if Xu Nan had just gone to the toilet.

The Treasure Chest God is truly amazing!

This guy is completely different from the "mediocre, spendthrift, and self-destructive false god" described in public opinion!

Xu Nan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

If all the gods in the Pro World were like McKen, I'd probably need to buy some brain-boosting supplements to continue my battle of wits with them.

"Hmm, my stomach's been feeling better lately. Maybe I should stop reading those Ancient Elven books for now; they're just too damn hard to digest... I'll go buy a few pounds of Conan DVDs and devour them, then read about ten Kindaichi, Sherlock Holmes, and Poirot detective stories. Hopefully, that'll help me improve..."

As Xu Nan was thinking this, Zhang Jian suddenly ran over, looking at him with some confusion:

"Where's that girl from just now?"

Xu Nan shrugged. He couldn't very well tell Zhang Jian that he had stuffed Susie back into the treasure chest, could he? Just as he was hesitating, Qin Lele stepped in to save the day:

"He ran away! Whenever Xu Nan shows up, isn't he always accompanied by a different girl?"

Jiang Yuanchi nodded slowly.

The next second, Qin Lele said smugly, "But the companion girls are like iron, while Qin Lele is like a flowing stream!"

Everyone was stunned, and each person seemed hesitant to speak, perhaps because they had too much to complain about but didn't know where to begin.

Taking advantage of Qin Lele's successful change of topic, Xu Nan also joined in the banter for a while, asking about the situation inside Qin Lele's tomb along with the others.

Ultimately, at Xu Nan's suggestion, the Special Ops Team decided to abandon their exploration and investigation of the tomb.

Based on the information provided by Qin Lele, they were basically able to confirm that this tomb was the hiding place of Emolan himself.

Although this guy is already very weak, he is still not someone that ordinary people can fight against. His will alone is enough to give them such a headache. If Qin Lele hadn't successfully broken his transformation ritual and the Temple Secrets inscription, the elite members of the Special Ops Team might have all been wiped out!

In this situation, the sealing cluster becomes the best option.

Led by Qin Lele, the group found the exit from the cemetery world and successfully returned to the basement of the Haunted House.

Meanwhile, the people of the Ninth Division also returned to normal at this time, as the appearance of the white cat and the Nightmare Rat had affected their thinking.

After a brief exchange between Zhang Jian and Xue Beicheng, the Special Ops Team was temporarily put in full charge of handling the aftermath of the West Eden Ancient City incident.

In any case, the incident Blood Worship Cultists seems to have come to an end.

Qin Lele inadvertently became the biggest contributor to this incident. For a long time afterward, everyone firmly believed that this girl had a lucky buff, and everyone wanted to come and share in her good fortune...

One week later.

Xu Nan stretched and left the Special Ops Team base.

He has finally completed the written report on the last operation. After all, he has repeatedly demonstrated behavior and strength that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people during the operation, and there is a lot to report.

But that's not why his paperwork took so long.

In fact, it was Qin Lele who really caused him so much trouble.

As a representative of those who are ignorant and incompetent, Qin Lele needs a guardian to register within the Thousand Rays Society because she is not yet a minor. Who knows why this guy filled in Xu Nan's name in the guardian column!

After all that fuss, in the end, Qin Lele's paperwork was taken over by Xu Nan, while she herself happily went off to continue her carefree shopping spree with her mother.

Xu Nan is really... Luckily, he's good at writing, otherwise he would have been driven crazy by the tedious work of recording and reporting.

"According to Mr. Smith's contact information, Mr. Luo Mang should be free tonight. We should be able to deduce more results regarding the entanglement between Emolan, Susie, and McKen..."

As Xu Nan was thinking this, a man wearing sunglasses suddenly rushed up to him, handing him his business card.

"Mr. Xu Nan... I've finally been waiting for you!"

"This is our third meeting, so please give me a chance!"

"I have always believed that someone as talented as you is perfectly suited for our stage!"

Ugh, it's that talent scout from that weird media company again. They've been harassing Xu Nan lately, hoping he'll debut as an idol or something!

Xu Nan, of course, refused!

As a Special Ops Team task force civil servant with a secure job and high salary, why would he need to do something as tiring as being an idol?

He outwardly accepted the business card, then turned the talent scout away, and quietly stuffed the card into a roadside trash can.

Just then, the Lost Paradise system sent a long-awaited notification!

[The theoretical topics for this cohort of Six-Nine Plan members have been released!]

[This research topic is titled "Who is the King of Promiscuity? See email for details."]

The project ranking list is now open...

Xu Nan glanced at the current issue of Six-Nine Plan for a while, then silently turned around, found the trash can, and reached his hand inside.

...!
