Monster Paradise Chapter 383
Leng Yuexin was relieved to see Lin Huang appear safe and sound. However, thinking of the shadows that covered the dead bodies before it dived underground, she looked at him again oddly.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Noticing her odd stare, Lin Huang was afraid that she might be suspecting something.
“I thought you were dead.” Leng Yuexin pointed at the VIP room on the second floor which was now completely destroyed.
“Oh, I was using the washroom downstairs. When I got out, the VIP room was completely gone.” Lin Huang opened his arms.
“Isn’t there a washroom in the VIP room?” Leng Yuexin frowned, she thought he was lying.
“There’s a washroom in the VIP room but the door was locked, I think it needed your invitation card to unlock it…” Lin Huang looked helpless, he was telling the truth.
“Oh yeah, I forgot about that.” Leng Yuexin just recalled there were many restrictions in the VIP room including the washroom.
“Luckily you forgot. If you didn’t, I might be dead now.” Lin Huang smiled and glad that he managed to come out with that excuse.
Leng Yuexin did not dwell on it. It was unnecessary for her to know if Lin Huang was the one who got the two dead bodies. The Mystery was s shady organization anyway, although she was a royal, she was happy to see that the Mystery was robbed.
“Seems like the auction won’t be going on, luckily I haven’t paid for the dracaena or else I would be at a major loss.” Lin Huang smiled and smiled.
“It’s okay if you paid as they would return you the full amount.” Leng Yuexin shook her head.
“Although there are many shady businesses in the Mystery, they have impressive customer service. The underground business aside, the main reason why they managed to grow big is their great customer service. They would definitely pay all the losses that they have brought to the customers.” Leng Yuexin added.

“That’s rich! But I supposed they’re at a great loss this time? They have lost their items and many royal guests had died, it must be a huge amount of money. Also, it seems like the place needs to be demolished and rebuilt…” Lin Huang looked around and said.
“To the Mystery in Division2, money meant nothing to them. Perhaps the only thing that’s worth mourning would be the demigod brain. However, the biggest issue now isn’t the items lost during the battle but the drop in trust.” Leng Yuexin was thorough.
“The auction was attacked, the immortal-level guardians are dead and some of the VIP guests were taken away… The Mystery wouldn’t be able to go on in Division7 for some time. Some of the branches in other divisions might be affected as well.”
“Moreover, there are only six families who are allowed in the VIP rooms. If those who were taken away were directly related to one of the families, the matter will be even more complicated…” Leng Yuexin smirked, she wanted the Mystery to stop their business.
As they chatted, an old person landed from the air. It was one of the three imperial-level humans who had gotten rid of Ba Yantian earlier.
“I, Xia Houlin would like to apologize on behalf of Haitian City for the shock. None of us see this attack coming. Please give us a minute, the supervisors and assistants will be here shortly. We would need to investigate the matter, it would take some time. Please cooperate with us.”
Knowing that the old person was an imperial-level, most of them who were from the royal families dared to deny his request and nodded immediately.
Soon, three supervisors arrived with a bunch of assistants. After comforting the people present, the three supervisors then asked questions about what happened. Xia Houlin wandered in the air while searching the power of his soul but he did not get anything. The only clue that he managed to get was that the two dead bodies that fell on the ground were covered with a dark shadow before they disappeared into the ground.

“The dark shadow could be a shadow type Secret Skill or a shadow summoning monster. Judging by the Infernal Dragon earlier, it looked more like the latter. The dead bodies must be with an Imperial Censor who was hiding something… However, the aura of the immortal-level humans could not be detected within 1,000 kilometers so the Imperial Censor might be in possession of some kind of long-distance detection method to be able to be in control of what’s happening here. Theoretically, it’s impossible to summon from so far away but the person might have some demigod relic.” The imperial-level old man gave deduced after some thought.
However, he did not even think about the Imperial Censor could be a person that was below immortal-level. To him, nobody below the immortal-level would be able to capture a monster like the Infernal Dragon. That was how Lin Huang managed to escape Xia Houlin’s speculation.
It was past six in the evening when the investigation and gathering of information was finally done and people started leaving.
Just when Lin Huang and Leng Yuexin were getting ready to leave, they heard a scream from the back.
“Lin Huang?!”
He turned around and saw Fang Wen who was in a black coat, he was one of the Purple Crow members who was captured. His hands were cuffed with a demon lock.
“It’s really you, I thought you were dead?!” Fang Wen was in complete shock. Everyone started glaring at Lin Huang in an unfriendly manner.
Everyone’s first reaction was that this was the Lin Huang who used to be a member of the Purple Crows! Even Leng Yuexin who was next to him was puzzled. Lin Huang was frustrated as he did not expect to bump into Fang Wen when he was almost leaving the auction. Of course, he remembered who Fang Wen was, he was ranked No.1 on the Purple Crow training camp’s leaderboard before Lin Huang appeared.
“Capture him!” Xia Houlin who was flying mid-air instructed.
“Wait!” Lin Huang shouted.
“We know each other but I’m not a member of Purple Crow. I have proof.”
“Do you mean the lady from the Leng family who’s being forced to be your witness?” Xia Houlin scoffed and grabbed Leng Yuexin next to him.
“What do you have to say now?”
“I’m Mr. Fu’s apprentice, I can get him as my witness.” Lin Huang looked at Xia Houlin who was in mid-air, he knew he had to convince Xia Houlin.
“His name is Lin Huang, he really is Mr. Fu’s apprentice.” Leng Yuexin reassured what Lin Huang said.
“Mr. Fu? That Mr. Fu?” Xia Houlin turned around and looked at Leng Yuexin. She nodded.
Lin Huang called Mr. Fu immediately and talked to him about his situation. After the call was hung up, Mr. Fu called Xia Houlin right away.
Xia Houlin gave Lin Huang a deep stare before he teleported himself far away to pick up the call. He returned shortly and said, “You can leave now.” Xia Houlin nodded to Lin Huang.
“Lin Huang you traitor!” Fang Wen shouted. He went through a month of brainwashing which resulted in him being loyal to the Purple Crow.
“Fang Wen, I have never wanted to join the Purple Crow. It was that lady Hong Zhuang who captured me and put me in the training camp. Since the first day, I had been planning on escaping. I believe you remember me asking you how dead bodies in the camp were handled before I faked my death. I was preparing to fake my death when I asked. I went a long way to trick Scarface and Hong Zhuang in order to escape the training camp. I have never been a member of the Purple Crow and I never agreed on the way they work so that’s not betrayal.” Lin Huang explained in front of Fang Wen.
Without bothering what kind of response he would give, Lin Huang turned around and left the auction…

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
