The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 472: reward

There is still one day before the one-month ban is lifted.

After staying at home for nearly a month, Sean Dickinson felt that the flesh on his stomach seemed to have thickened a little.

And the mischievous little sister Alia knows that her brother is staying at home for some legitimate reason, but she is still very happy to play the role of a sensible sister who has no choice but to carry the burden of the whole family because of her brother who is not up to snuff...

His level of devotion to the performance, even in the letter to his father on the other side of the ocean, he complained vaguely about his brother's "not thinking about making progress", which caused his father to write a severely worded letter asking Sean to cheer up as soon as possible, go out to work, and not get tired his baby girl...

When Sean read the reply letter, he rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply...

And Aaliyah, who was hiding outside the room, gloated at the success of the prank.

"Oh my God!" Sean threw the letter paper on the table, "In addition to gaining weight, I have also done a lot of things this month!"

By "a lot of things" I mean that he finished the last short story needed to publish the horror short story collection.

It took about fifteen minutes.

However, this newly born work is somewhat different from the previous "semi-documentary" stories-this time, the fictional elements have increased a lot.

The reason for doing this is that Sean realized that if he wrote the material at hand in a straightforward manner, it would undoubtedly make people associate the author with the "Sea of ​​Shimmer" who is emerging in the exploration industry.

If so, Sean will have to give up his current pseudonym.

Therefore, he began to try to add some of his own ideas to the story material.

The new one, titled "She Who Couldn't Go Home," is based on the events of the "Bronze Giant" about the immortal Vivian.

Sean hides all clues of reality in his own way, and replaces it with an excellent story that is wonderful and impossible to associate with real events...

This manuscript was still highly praised by Lin Sifeng, the editor-in-chief of "New Testament Horror Stories". In her reply, she said that Sean's "Horror Short Stories" will be printed after a month of proofreading...

At the time, Sean was blissfully contemplating the after-tax income that a collection of short stories might bring in.

Thinking of the income, the feeling of a little heavy due to reading the father's letter suddenly became lighter again.

Sean didn't look back on everything that happened in Midnight Paradise during the month of living in a small house. At this time, sitting at the desk, he couldn't help but start to take stock of what he had gained...

After the unavoidable conflict with the King class, he and Moonlight obtained the two C-class mysterious heritages of "Platinum Cufflinks" and "Anonymous Refiner Earrings" respectively...

According to Sean's own speculation, the value of the two inheritances is around 3,000 New Zealand dollars.

Although due to sensitivity, these two heritages cannot be sold for quite some time, but they both have good practicality. Even if they are not sold, it is quite good to keep them for personal use.

On this issue, Xiao En is glad that he is not greedy. Like Moonlight, he followed the rules and only took the relatively low-value mysterious inheritance.

Platinum cufflinks are not unique to the guards of the Kingdom of God. Once he gets greedy and takes the more valuable B-level heritage, which is the unique equipment of the guards of the Kingdom of God...

The forces that Sean is avoiding are well aware: the one who defeats the guards of the Kingdom of God is the one who destroys Midnight Paradise.

That means Sean will get a priest equipment that can never be sold, and that he can't use.

The second item of income is relatively heavy - the golden statue of Peter Pan.

Sean has checked it, and there is no tracking magic on it.

Now, it has been stored in a secret compartment of the wardrobe.

55 pounds of solid gold worth NZ$22,000…

It is the amount that makes the King class enter the Midnight Paradise.

According to Sean's practice, it is divided equally between four teammates and allies, and each can get more than 5,000 New Zealand dollars.

Combined with the mysterious inheritance obtained by "winner takes all" after duels with high-level explorers, even if there are other places to spend in the future, Sean's repeatedly ill-fated "saving money plan" to start a newspaper will finally have a considerable amount of money. Progress…

After that, there are benefits that cannot be measured in monetary value.

First of all, Sean gained the absolute trust of "Remembrancer" Mike Downs and "Old Priest" Fagar Taylor.

In addition to "Eye of Annihilation" Evan Burns who is currently living in seclusion, and "Violet Nightingale" Catherine Haley who is out on missions, the absolutely trustworthy power that Sean can call at present can already rival a medium-sized Quest or company...

Among them, the newly joined Mike Downs has extremely rare mask abilities: as a form of remembrance, he can use the power of everyone in the buddy team.

His chains of fire, Foley's potion, and Holly's shadow.

Combined with Mike's combat literacy...

"It's also the strength of a Q-level goalkeeper..." Xiao En shook his head and sighed.

A little bolder estimate, he almost has the strongest network resources at the same level.

Finally, there is the ball of light.

Although he still can't touch and unseal it, Sean has experienced it many times in the Shengen space.

It's still impossible to know what the exact power it brings, but Sean can roughly sense it...

That is the ability related to "Godhead".

If it is said that "Shen Yu" borrowed the dominant power from the past, then Xiao En believes that what the ball of light can bring may be his first step towards the realm of "God".

Resisting the temptation to unblock again, Sean withdrew his hand reaching for the ball of light: "It's not the time yet."

The confinement will end tomorrow, and he will use the moonlight's "curtain" in a hidden place to unlock the greatest harvest!

Looking back here, Sean has completely forgotten the unhappiness caused by that letter.

He has only one feeling at the moment: Although the trip to "Midnight Paradise" is full of hardships, the rewards are incomparable to other experiences.

Time became long while waiting, and Sean finally waited for the sunrise of the next day.

The sun had just "woke up", and Sean contacted Moonlight·1902 through a card: Come, accompany me to a place!

Naturally, it is necessary to unseal the light sphere.

However, after Sean washed and dressed, his Mystery Explorer playing cards vibrated again.

It's Arthur Merlin's message.

He wants Sean and Moonlight to rush to the Mystery Society as soon as possible, there are "important matters".

New Testament reporters had no choice but to suppress their expectations again, and arranged the unblocking time after going to the association...

After arriving at the Association Building on "Silent Street", Sean and Moonlight followed Arthur's instructions and took the elevator up to the 99th floor.

What makes Sean and Moonlight a little nervous is that they know what this layer means—

Floor 99~lightnovelpub.net~The Office of the President of the Mystery Seekers Association.

They were about to meet the old man who commanded all the explorers in the continent of Newlander and had the greatest power to explore the mysteries, Connor Phillips.

Sean has heard some rumors about Chairman Phillips.

But some of those few words were too exaggerated for him to believe.

Among the information he recognized was that President Phillips was once a "preparation Joker class", that is, the leader of the Ace class back then.

His ability is related to a silver pocket watch he always carries.

He is a somewhat strange old man with no airs, and he often appears in places where there are many grassroots explorers...

Ding!

Following Xiao En's wild thoughts, the elevator that reached the 99th floor opened the gate.
