Lin Bei looked curious, his gaze fixed on Qingqing as he waited for her explanation.
To be honest, he was quite curious about what exactly a Tianmo was.
Moreover, he had felt a constant urge to lash out at Da Hei earlier, which was very strange. Could it be related to the other party's status as a member of the Tianmo Clan?
"According to my database records, the Tianmo Clan is one of the Ancient Demon Clans, but they have completely declined now and have become servants of the Celestial Gods."
Qingqing answered without hesitation, "As for more information about them, my Data Module doesn't have much recorded, only some characteristics of the Tianmo Clan."
"Characteristics? Let's hear them."
"Well... the people of the Tianmo Clan are all very black, the extremely black kind."
"Ahem, I know that. Is there anything else?"
"Uh... that's it."
"???"
Hearing this, Lin Bei's face was full of question marks.
He double-checked, and Qingqing also tried her best to search the database, but... there still wasn't much to be found.
However, Lin Bei did obtain a relatively important piece of information from this.
That is, the people of the Tianmo Clan spend their entire lives pursuing skin whitening. Their clan's ultimate ideal is to one day make their skin smooth and fair.
However, it seems their clan is under a special curse. No matter how hard they try, they can only temporarily have fair skin; in the long run, it still turns pitch black.
Therefore, if Lin Bei wanted to develop a deep cooperation with Da Hei, this should be a good breakthrough point.
"The world truly is full of wonders."
Lin Bei sighed with emotion, bid farewell to Qingqing, and went to the villa entrance alone.
From afar, he saw Da Hei pacing back and forth.
But this time, he vaguely felt a mass of black mist enveloping his brain. However, his body quickly produced a strange energy that completely dissipated the black mist before it could even get close.
[Prompt: You have been affected by unknown Spirit Pollution; Super Intuition has automatically activated!]
[Prompt: Your Spirit Pollution has been cleared!]
"Hmm? Spirit Pollution?"
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment, then his gaze fell on Da Hei pacing in the distance, and a sudden realization dawned on him.
"Right now... I don't seem to have the urge to curse anymore. Could it be... that my previous impulse was because I was affected by the Spirit Pollution coming from Da Hei?"
Lin Bei was surprised and suspicious, gaining some understanding of the Tianmo Clan's abilities.
"Eh? You... you're immune to my Spirit Pollution?"
Just as Lin Bei fell silent, Da Hei outside the villa seemed to sense something. He suddenly looked up toward Lin Bei's direction and spoke with great astonishment.
"Holy crap, you're pretty badass! You should know that the Spirit Pollution on me is a type of cursed power. Generally speaking, even a Transcendental Five-Star existence would be affected, yet you can actually be immune to it! No wonder Lady Aleria thinks so highly of you!"
Da Hei exclaimed, his tone incredibly excited, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Wait a minute, you mean the Spirit Pollution on you isn't under your control? Also... how strong is a Transcendental Five-Star? And who is this Lady Aleria you mentioned?"
Lin Bei stayed at the villa entrance and didn't go out. Instead, he spoke directly across the villa Barrier.
He looked at Da Hei with an unfriendly gaze. If the other party couldn't give a proper explanation, he wouldn't mind leaving them hanging for a few more days.
"Oh, please don't misunderstand! This Spirit Pollution on me is beyond my control! It's an ancient curse tied firmly to our clan along with our black color, something rooted deep in our bloodline!"
"Otherwise, why do you think I have to smoke every day? It's to keep myself refreshed and prevent myself from being consumed by the Spirit Pollution."
"As for the Transcendental Five-Star you mentioned... according to the Survivors' Combat Power classification, it should be at least 20,000,000 Combat Power. But how should I put it... a transcendental existence isn't just about comparing Combat Power levels. Anyway... you'll understand for yourself in the future."
"As for Lady Aleria, she is the Overseer currently in charge of this Survivor world. She belongs to the Lucky Faction and is also the Guide who wants to recruit you this time."
Da Hei said hurriedly, "Alright, the reason I came to see you this time is because Aleria consulted the Goddess of Luck. With the addition of Divine Authority this time, she can offer you even greater benefits!"
"Oh? Let's hear it. What kind of benefits are we talking about?"
Lin Bei's curiosity was piqued by Da Hei's words. He stared straight at Da Hei, waiting for him to continue.
"Divine Authority" sounded quite intimidating. He wanted to see what kind of conditions the other party could offer that he wouldn't be able to refuse!
"First of all, regarding the brave badge, they've approved 100 million for you!"
Da Hei said quickly.
Just as he spoke, Lin Bei was instantly shocked.
"How... how much?"
"100 million."
Da Hei replied without hesitation, "But that's the maximum limit. I hope you don't think it's too little."
"Think it's too little?"
Lin Bei was stunned.
Only a fool would think that's too little.
This is a freaking "small goal" worth of brave badges!
Even if he exchanged them all for common primal stones, it would be enough to upgrade his island several levels!
"It seems this time... they've really gone all out."
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, looked at Da Hei, and said seriously, "What else?"
"Oh, and the 'Lucky Blessing' mentioned before will be directly upgraded to 'Lucky Decree' for you. Once you have the 'Lucky Decree', not only will you have better luck than with 'Lucky Blessing', but you can also grant the effect of 'Lucky Blessing' to other Survivors."
"However, the strength of the Lucky Blessing will fluctuate based on your own power."
Da Hei said with a face full of envy, "To be honest, when I heard this condition, I was so envious I cried. Sigh, by comparison, a working stiff like me isn't so lucky."
"Keep going. Anything else?"
Lin Bei ignored Da Hei's envious expression and continued to inquire.
To be honest, after hearing the conditions offered, he was already impatient to throw himself into the embrace of the Goddess of Luck!
However, he had to maintain some composure.
At the very least... he had to hear out all the conditions they were offering, right?
"Oh, yes, there's more."
Da Hei nodded quickly, "Besides the two conditions above, Lady Aleria will also give you special treatment, allowing you three chances to enter the Underworld every day. And each time, you can enter special rare areas. For example, the situation where you encountered the Disqualified Ones earlier only occurs in special areas."
"Additionally, the Lucky Faction will advance you a Legendary Level item. Although it's damaged, it's still more than one level stronger than transcendental items."
As Da Hei spoke, he took out an exquisite small wooden box and handed it to Lin Bei. "The item is inside, and this storage item is also a gift for you."
Lin Bei took a deep breath and opened the wooden box.
A blinding golden light immediately enveloped the surroundings.
Lin Bei stared intently at the source of the golden light; it was a crystal-clear crystal necklace.
