[Lin Hao was enticed by the incomplete magical treasure!]
[But Lin Hao's divine thought was already comparable to early Foundation Establishment! He was only slightly affected, no big deal]
[After all, Lin Hao's divine thought was at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining Stage. Generally, when cultivators reach a certain level of quantity, they pursue a qualitative leap, but Lin Hao chose a different path, probably because he's a transmigrator]
Looking at the log's display, Lin Hao's face darkened.
Is it that I don't want to break through to Foundation Establishment Stage?
The thing is, I haven't "unlocked" a Foundation Establishment Technique, okay!
Once I've unlocked a Foundation Establishment Technique and my magical power reaches Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage, I'll break through in no time.
But now is not the time to worry about divine thought's strength...
Room 403 across the hall clearly has issues, as a cultivator....
The most correct choice at this moment —
Of course, is to leave!
The farther away, the better!
He didn't have that much curiosity.
Lin Hao was extremely familiar with the saying: curiosity killed the cat.
Maybe there's an opportunity inside, but does he really lack opportunities?
With a magical power at the third level of Qi Refining Stage, how would he fight for an opportunity?
With a thought, a White Impermanence Avatar at half-Golden Core stage appeared in front of Lin Hao.
A sense of security surged immediately.
Of course, Lin Hao wouldn't let the White Impermanence Avatar enter there.
As always, safety first.
Cultivation pays attention to safety, no shame in it.
And then...
Lin Hao directly turned and walked downstairs.
Lin Hao's valuable belongings were all inside his storage bag.
And the storage bag, was slung over his shoulder.
Moving house?
A matter of moments.
Just as well, the rent paid by his predecessor was about to expire.
Tonight he'll find a place to stay, tomorrow he'll inform his landlord he's not renting anymore.
As for where to stay tonight?
Of course, at the City Management Team office building!
When Lin Hao was learning at the City Management Team, he specifically inquired about it — there's a dedicated temporary hostel inside.
The paying kind.
That's currently the "authority" in the Extraordinary Domain known to Lin Hao.
Luxuriously hailed a cab, Lin Hao mentally controlled the White Impermanence Avatar to follow behind the car.
After leaving Dao Mei Apartment far behind, Lin Hao called Yadan, reporting what he saw at door 403 and his own feelings, expressing that he was heading to the City Management Team, planning to stay at the hostel——
"Okay Lin Hao, you handled it very well, come on over, you're very welcome."
Soon, Lin Hao arrived at the City Management Team entrance.
After completing a psychological profiling questionnaire and confirming he wasn't influenced by extraordinary powers, he was granted entry.
"Your handling of the situation was quite appropriate!"
Yadan commended Lin Hao once more upon seeing him.
"A[Investigation Team]has already gone over there, and lately, the compass you mentioned has appeared in different places in Ke Chen City...
What you saw wasn't your opposite door, but a separate space...
Right now, we can't distinguish whether the problem lies with that space, or that compass...
But one thing's for sure, you were in great danger just now. If you had been drawn into that space, you'd have been lost inside, and after picking up the compass, you'd have been led to death...
We've already lost several[Investigation Team]members who entered that space and never came back."
Towards the end, Yadan's mood turned somewhat low.
But quickly, Yadan adjusted his emotions——
"However, I believe we will definitely solve that issue! With us here, Ke Chen City will definitely be safe!"
"You can rest easy tonight, staying at the City Management Team, this is the safest place!"
Lin Hao nodded.
After moving into a room, Lin Hao once again summoned the White Impermanence Avatar beside him.
Tonight, he wouldn't sleep.
The following noon, estimating the boss had woken, Lin Hao called in to request time off.
The reason, of course, being moving house.
The reason for moving——
Someone died at the opposite door.
Saying it like this, wasn't lying.
After all, room 403 across the hall had manifested a separate space, and according to Yadan's account, someone died inside...
For the next three days, Lin Hao stayed at the City Management Team.
During the day, he would read at the City Management Team library, have meals, and keep to places with people.
After five-thirty in the evening, he'd return to the hostel to summon the White Impermanence Avatar, keeping it by his side.
These three days, he didn't cultivate, nor did he sleep.
After three days had passed, confirming there were no abnormalities around, Lin Hao breathed a little easier.
It seems the space he encountered three days ago was just a coincidental occurrence.
But for his own safety, Lin Hao still decided to stay long-term at the City Management Team.
Though the accommodation fee of 150 dollars per day was necessary, this place was safe.
Lin Hao's life began to return to normal.
Every day a two-point routine.
Daytime at the City Management Team, night at the night market milk tea shop, and the remaining time spent on cultivation.
Boring yet fulfilling, that's cultivation!
Occasionally, when encountering Yadan, he'd update him on the progress of the compass space.
"Rest assured, we have made progress, someone managed to come out after going in."
Yadan's expression was full of excitement!
"Rest assured, we have made progress, someone carried out the compass."
Yadan's expression was worried.
"Rest assured, we have made progress, ..."
Yadan's expression showed a hint of gloom...
The more he spoke of progress, the more downcast his expression became.
Is this really progress?
Lin Hao could sense the atmosphere within the City Management Team growing more tense.
And the daily orders of milk tea at the City Management Team were increasing.
Today, it's already up to a thousand cups!
This increase in milk tea purchases indicated that many people within the City Management Team had used their contained objects' powers!
Luckily, Lin Hao's magical power had steadily advanced during this period; otherwise, with such rapid growth in numbers, he'd be overwhelmed.
While making milk tea, Lin Hao occasionally overheard customers in line joking—
"Have you heard about the [Room of Cannibalism]?"
"I've heard about it, it's really popular recently, even more than the [Worker's Gospel White Impermanence]!"
"I heard it's a dark room, with a seemingly antique compass placed at the entrance, and that compass looks very valuable, tempting you to enter. But once you step inside, you never come out!"
"Hahaha, scared me to death! Your attempt to scare is hilariously appropriate; if you told this to elementary school kids, they wouldn't buy it."
"If that compass antique really is valuable, I'd definitely go in, take it out, and sell it! Buy a house! If I have a house, my ex-girlfriend will surely reconcile with me!"
"..."
The air was brimming with lively atmosphere.
Only Lin Hao knew, the [Room of Cannibalism], was real.
...
"Cui Hua, have you considered it enough?"
"Captain, no problem! The [Strategy Team] already analyzed, the layout within the [Room of Cannibalism] is adjustable...
As long as I go in, using my ability to create and control enough oak to fill the entire room, even if this room reappears, everyone won't be able to enter immediately.
Not entering right away means there's a chance for rescue!
I believe everyone can bring me out!
Of course, if worst comes to worst and I don't come back, please help apply for occupational death!
It's because of work time, for work's reasons, that I went to a temporary work location and perished."
Listening to Cui Hua's playful words, the captain patted Cui Hua on the shoulder.
"Don't say that, we're all waiting to celebrate your return, be safe!"
"Rest assured, Captain!"
Before stepping into the door ahead, Cui Hua took out a pendant from her chest.
Kissed it.
This pendant was specially made by Cui Hua in the image of White Impermanence!
"Lord White Impermanence, bless me! I love you!"
"If I come back alive this time, I'll burn lots of paper money for you!"
Putting the White Impermanence pendant back to her chest, hoping Lord White Impermanence won't feel cramped...
Taking a deep breath, Cui Hua stepped inside.
After Cui Hua entered, those outside the door noticed behind Cui Hua, someone slowly appeared.
A pure white figure wearing a tall hat...
[The White Impermanence Avatar came before a member of the Overwork Tribe, she suddenly went on a business trip]
[The White Impermanence Avatar also went on a business trip...]
