I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Luo Heng led his team members to collect their prize money first.

The Toolman’s prize money and salary are distributed separately, and the prize money is settled daily.

After collecting the prize money, everyone in the team had a joyful smile on their faces, even Xue Mei, who rarely smiled, showed a slight grin.

A hundred life coins is no small amount.

It’s equivalent to their monthly salary.

Just as expected, Luo Heng transferred his part of the prize money to Han Zhan as promised earlier.

From the overall impression, Luo Heng, as a captain, seemed pretty good.

”Let’s go, we’re heading to the boxing arena.”

The work of the venue assistant typically involves cleaning and repairing the venue after the boxing match ends, due to the damage and pollution caused by the matches.

Therefore, when the match begins, it’s their break time, as there’s nothing urgent to attend to.

Following Luo Heng, Han Zhan quickly arrived at the venue of today’s boxing match, a vast aerial grandstand.

The grandstand is circular and situated directly above the venue, which is the number two Life Span Boxing Ring at the Pure Beauty Paradise.

Each boxing ring at the Life Span Boxing Ring has a sufficiently large area, not to accommodate more viewers but to facilitate the contestants’ battles.

After all, among the Alien Species, there are many gigantic life forms, and the audience is quite enthusiastic about these colossal battles.

”Today, the second ring will showcase the match between Sword Hero Star’s Luo Qiuhong and Earthquake Star’s Weng Lu. As an Earthquake Star person, Weng Lu’s size is comparable to a medium-sized meteorite.”

Walking ahead, Luo Heng introduced to Han Zhan.

While talking, the two had already entered the grandstand.

Upon entering the grandstand, Han Zhan immediately sensed several auras on par with his strength.

Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses.

Remaining unperturbed, he followed Luo Heng wearing his deep blue Level 1 venue assistant uniform.

The grandstand was a VIP area with seats made of special leather, an integral blue color provided a spiritual sense of comfort.

Moreover, there was a layer of light blue water ripple enveloping some seats, obscuring the figures inside beyond recognition.

”Captain Luo, are we watching the boxing match from here? Doesn’t it require additional fees for venue assistants to watch the game?”

Han Zhan curiously asked.

Luo Heng glanced at him, ”What are you thinking? This is the VIP area, not where we belong.”

He said, pointing to the front of the grandstand.

There, at the forefront of the grandstand, was a railing, below which was a layer of a transparent protective shield.

Between the railing and the protective shield, there was a narrow gap for people to sit.

Luo Heng, seemingly accustomed to this, climbed over the railing and sat down effortlessly.

Following him, Han Zhan did the same.

”Here, this is our spot.”

Luo Heng patted the hard ground, speaking with a hint of self-mockery.

”Captain Luo, why did you enter the Paradise and become a Toolman?”

Han Zhan asked a question he had long wanted to ask.

Initially, when encountering Feng Xiaozao, he thought the Toolmen were debtors to the Paradise or their relatives.

But now it seemed, that wasn’t the only reason.

”You’re not the first to ask me this.” Luo Heng chuckled lightly and said.

”In the Paradise, Toolmen divided into three categories, do you know?”

Han Zhan shook his head, and Luo Heng continued:

”The first category is what most people know about – debtors hunted by the Paradise and their affected relatives.”

Regarding this category, Han Zhan was indeed aware, as Feng Xiaozao belonged to the first category.

”The second category is the Alien Species from other star systems, who typically enter the Paradise after receiving an invitation through various channels.”

”However, everything in the Paradise requires expenses. Some might get rich overnight while some might lose everything overnight.”

”Those who lose everything are also absorbed by the Paradise as Toolmen until they clear their debts or are redeemed.”

Regarding the second category Luo Heng mentioned, Han Zhan had already speculated.

The Paradise is a city full of enchantment and allure, some seek to gain more lifespan, while others pay the price for it.

At this point, Luo Heng revealed another piece of information:

”Most of the contestants in the boxing match are also Toolmen.”

”The contestants are too?” Han Zhan was momentarily stunned, ”That’s quite a high cost for Toolmen.”

In the boxing arena, where life and death battles happen frequently, if Toolmen die, wouldn’t they lose the chance to break even?

”That’s unknown, the agreement they sign with the Paradise is different from ours, beyond our knowledge.”

Luo Heng confessed.

”The third kind is people like me, who for some special reasons, eventually enter the Paradise and become Toolmen.”

”I’m here for my daughter. She was born prematurely, and to keep her alive, I gave all of my remaining lifespan to her.”

”In return, I was incorporated by the Paradise as a Toolman, continuing my life here.”

Luo Heng’s words surprised Han Zhan somewhat.

As Luo Heng described, lifespan can be transferred and given, and after exhausting one’s lifespan, a person doesn’t immediately die but has the option to become a Toolman in the Paradise to continue living.

When Han Zhan wanted to ask more, he noticed Luo Heng looking at him with a half-smile.

”Everyone has their secrets, don’t they?”

”You must be the third kind too, Han Zhan.”

Luo Heng no longer addressed him as ’newbie.’

Due to Han Zhan’s performance during the venue cleaning process, he was no longer considered a newbie.

Asked by Luo Heng, after a moment of surprise, Han Zhan responded with a faint smile.

Luo Heng didn’t press further, merely offering a can of Pure Beauty Paradise’s special beer.

”I already submitted your file. With your ability, working as a Level 1 venue assistant is a waste of talent.”

”Your Life Absorption skill can quickly clean the boxing ring. You at least have the ability of a Level 2 venue assistant, if not even Level 3 venue management.”

Luo Heng’s words made Han Zhan glance sideways.

Unlike others who might suppress or exploit capable subordinates to extract their value, Luo Heng’s noble character stood out among the various desires in Pure Beauty Paradise.

”Have a drink, the beer tastes good and the boxing match is about to start.”

Finishing his words, Luo Heng pulled the tab on the can and took a swig.

Han Zhan did the same.

It had a faint pineapple sweetness with a fermented taste of beer.

”How much does a can of beer like this cost? Is it one life coin per can?” Han Zhan casually asked after taking a sip.

Luo Heng chuckled aloud:

”What are you talking about? What sort of drink would cost that much? This can is worth only 0.01 life coins.”

”Who would foolishly spend one life coin on a drink?” Luo Heng shook his head disdainfully.

He didn’t notice Han Zhan’s smile freeze on his face at that moment.

The backlash from a boomerang hit straight on.
