Chapter 200
“This is the new bed you are giving me?” Snowflake looked at the big pile of gold coins on the ground, she creased her eyebrows and leaned her head sideways . She seemed a little distressed, “But, I actually don’t like to sleep on gold coins . ”
Sui Xiong was shocked . In his impression, no matter the story on earth or legend in the world, giant dragons loved to sleep on piles of gold coins . Even if there were enough gold coins, mixing along with some silver coins and bronze coins would do too . If requirement permits, a pile of gold coins added with some jewellery, magic devices and that sort, would be even better . And from Graupel’s reaction, he was definitely right . So, why didn’t Snowflake like it?
She could tell that he was shocked, as Snowflake sighed and explained, “I don’t like to reveal my true body, unless I have no choice . Otherwise, even during resting time, I would sleep in human form . Didn’t you realize that Frost and Graupel’s rooms are terrifyingly huge, but mine is just a size of a normal human being?”
Sui Xiong was stunned and asked, “Why don’t you like gold coins? Giant dragons like things that shine, right?”
“… you are talking about crows!”
“Don’t giant dragons love them, too?”
Snowflake sighed, “Stereotyping is such a scary thing!”
“We, giant dragons, culturally, have a lot of respect for hiding wealth . To be able to hide more wealth implied that one is more capable and would be highly praised and admired by the the same tribe . Over time, many giant dragons turned this culture into their hobby . For instance, Graupel is like that,” She explained . “But I do not agree with this kind of culture! On the contrary, I hate this kind of meaningless hiding, I even hate those that run amok in order to gain wealth!
Sui Xiong nodded continuously, as he agreed with that too .
“You gained a fortune, and wanted to improvise our living environment, I appreciate your good intention, but it’s okay . ” Snowflake smiled and turned away, “And, help me clean the room . With gold coins all over the floor, it’s inconvenient . ”
Sui Xiong pouted and cast magic to clean up the gold coins . He cleaned the room altogether too .
“I, as a god, cleaning up the room for you, you are pretty honoured…”
The next day, he found Frost . This time, he was more careful that he asked first, “You want to give me gold coins to make into a bed?”
Frost leaned her head to one side and looked at the jellyfish floating before him stupidly . She shook her head and sighed .
“Hey, what kind of attitude is that!”
“Nothing . You are still so random!” Frost shrugged and looked innocent, “Do I look like I like to reveal my true body to sleep on a pile of gold coins?”

“… Isn’t it because you are extremely clear, that you had no gold coins to make into a bed?”
Frost was offended and she said angrily, “I am rich!”
“I know, stuffed steam bun is considered as a dry provision, one dollar is money, too . ”
Frost was quivering in anger and felt that chatting with the bastard jellyfish was the biggest mistake she made that day . Then, she turned around and left .
“Hey, you haven’t tell me if you want the gold coin bed!” Sui Xiong shouted .
“I’m saving them for you to make into coffin!” Frost replied, without turning her head .
Sui Xiong looked at him running away like he was flying, and he sighed heavily .
“Nowadays, there were people who didn’t want free money…” He thought, and he looked for Rhodes instead .
“You mean you planned to pour in the money for life prolonging medicine into the building of church?” Rhodes groaned and asked, “Although I have calculated in private, how much money exactly?”
Sui Xiong told him a number . Rhodes didn’t seem to be excited or surprised . He thought seriously and said regrettably, “I’m sorry, our church has reached its maximum capacity at the moment . Although there is such a huge amount of wealth, I have no idea how to spend it all in a short period of time… . ”
Sui Xiong walked away helplessly . He walked while he mumbled to himself, “What is happening?! There’s money, but nowhere to spend… . . if on earth, there’s so much money… . . I’ll head over to Beijing third ring road to buy houses . Buy a few houses, I have one, my parents have one, my wife has one, the rest are used for storing miscellaneous items!”
“… that’s not right . I don’t even have a girlfriend, where would I get a wife?!” He sighed heavily and he felt the so-called “world’s evil intention” .
When the poor gain wealth, it was inevitable to have the urge to show off, especially he was then extremely huge! When a Chinese described a wealthy person, they always use the phrase of “as rich as a nation” . Those top local tyrants on earth are mostly ruler in those backwards countries, and most of them turned the assets of the nations into their own .
For instance, the wealthy man that sells stones . But a person that really was “as rich as a nation”, from what Sui Xiong knew, there wasn’t anyone . But then, there he was .
How rich was he then? That was difficult to estimate, even if it was a conservative projection . That few countries in main dimension, anyone of them, from the central to local, put together a level of state coffers, most of the them didn’t have as much as he did .
Then, his question was, how to spend this amount of money? The huge jellyfish was sitting on crown of the big tree and pondered .
“How about building a bank? I remember starting a bank requires a lot of money… I could operate a savings business, also also loan and mintage…”

“I don’t think so, this is considered as fighting business with God of Wealth . Although the bastard is rich and cruel, we are in quite good terms . Crushing his league out of nowhere doesn’t seem like a good thing!”
“Start another scientific research? Isn’t scientific research burning the most money!”
“… I don’t think it’ll work too . Running a scientific research requires Human Resources too . Where do I find people to do this? The God of Mystery is in bad terms with me now, and many that originally had collaborations cut off the church . Human resource was already at a disadvantage . ”
“Invest in buildings in Garth town?”
“Garth town is on track as of now, doesn’t seem like they need a big amount of money…”
He thought again, until his tentacles hurt . Then, suddenly an idea popped in his head .
“I want to call for the very first martial arts contest! Mm, this name it is! Then, I will call everyone that wants to gain fortune and confidence in themselves to partake in the competition . Winning will get a bonus, losing will get compensation, too . And the final champion will get a big amount of money! And also a piece of medal that says “The how many very first martial arts contest champion’!”
He thought and was certain that the way was reliable . Although it didn’t go along the original intention of ‘spending money’, at least it was interesting . Interesting, that will do!
Hence, that was the deal . Sui Xiong launched the strength of entire Void Mask Church, and with the aid of transmission portal in the each capital of all nations, he advertised widely .
“Want to let everyone in this world to know your name?”
“Want to prove that you are powerful?”
“Want to get rich overnight?”
“Come to Void Mask Theme Park to join the very first martial arts contests!”
Such a publicity stunt very quickly spread to each of the cities in the main dimensions . Then, more people in the villages slowly found out . Many adventurers from all over came forward to the Void Mask Theme Park . They all had their talent and wanted to gain fame overnight, to spread their name all over the world .
Some were ambitious and wanted to have a contest with experts from all over the world, in order to enter the higher legendary pathway . Some simply wanted that champion award, because they needed money . There were even some that were more down-to-earth, that only wanted to earn a payment for entering the contest .
The most exaggerated ones were those youngsters that were playful and adventurous . They only wanted to use the transmission portal for free, and to visit the Void Mask Theme Park .
Near the theme park, Sui Xiong had already prepared a combat field: dozens of independent rings, in coordination with a large amount of audience space, and temporary residences that were packed liked bird cages . All of this was not only to provide the basic living for the contestants, but also to show them the Void Mask Church’s capability and confidence .
According to the rules, there were a total of three months to register themselves . Until the time that they stop accepting sign ups, according to the statistics, there were more than ten thousand of them that came to participate in the contest, while people who came to watch were a few folds .
Thank goodness Sui Xiong prepared ahead of them . Not only did he build a large amount of bird cage liked residency, he even prepared large amounts of food . Ten thousand people’s food and accommodation itself, was more than what they can attend to .
Even though he prepared ahead of item, suddenly loading the terrifying capacity of tenants, it pushed the hosting ability of Void Mask Theme Park to its maximum .
Luckily, Sui Xiong was rich then, very rich . He could pour large amount of money out and hire a big batch of temporary workers . Plus, the commodities reserve earlier managed to support such an occasion .
After being able to support the occasion, the next was about return . These people that come over to join the lively occasion of course wouldn’t only just came to watch the martial arts contest . As they had already got to the theme park, it was inevitable for them to want to eat, drink, or play something .
All of the sudden, every theme park rides were overcrowded . Even the desolated underground city that originally had very few visitors was getting busy . Many adventurer teams formed by rookies were going around the underground city like headless flies, encountering magic creatures and traps occasionally, then letting out tragic screams .
The staffs in the maze were very busy . They were constantly going about in the maze and providing assistance to those adventurers that ran into trouble . They had to reassure the rookies that knew nothing at all that it was only threatening feeling, but not dangerous, and they also needed to comfort their emotions at necessary times and bring them to take a break in safe zone .
There wasn’t day or night in the maze . So, after a wave of hustling, those rookies that were lack of training, even those experienced adventurer guides, were exhausted .
But also, in the situation that it was noisy, busy and weary, Void Mask Theme Park finally gained fame .
No matter if it was a place to splurge money for food and entertainment, a tourist mecca for relaxation and entertainment, or a place to experience an adventurer’s life, all in all, people experienced how fun the theme park was, and that increased the theme park’s profit steadily . Liv . who was complaining at the very beginning, didn’t complain anymore . On the contrary, she enjoyed the feeling of hustling .
Among the hustle, the curtain of the very first martial arts contest finally opened… .

lovely | poetry
Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal.TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, OCD, panic attacks
