Chapter 1950: Chapter 1945: Mathematical Euphoria (6)
Though there might be suspicions of malicious speculation, it does live up to its number.
Under the fine quality of never being blindly optimistic, Fu Qian quickly made a sufficiently pessimistic interpretation of his current situation.
He had already been worried when he first heard about the Undying, and now he seemed to confirm some details through Kako’s words.
The facts proved that there seemed to be no loopholes for him to exploit.
From the moment the mission began, all he could do was shatter the Void with his Mortal body.
Even in cases of abnormal death, it might be impossible to restart.
And in such circumstances, it seemed that where he was heading now was a Sin City driven by "Paradise."
"So do you want me to take you to your residence?"
While pondering, the carriage had come to a complete stop at a fork in the road.
Alongside, Kako ended the wicked topic, steering the matter back to guidance.
"Do I really have a residence in this city?"
Staring at the uneven houses, Fu Qian did not find a style to his liking.
"The moment you have a grave, naturally, you also have a residence."
Kako seemed to be stating something so obvious.
"Of course, new houses are usually quite empty, without any extra things. If you’re not in a hurry to see it, you can go to my place first."
As she spoke, she glanced at Fu Qian, the heat on her face from before flashed again, unnecessary words already explained a lot.
"Sure, let’s go to your place then."
Without any hesitation or struggle, at that moment, Fu Qian was even more serene and indifferent than Kako, as if he had been cultivating in this Paradise for years, now guiding others.
"Alright."
Lady Kako was indeed extraordinary. Despite Fu Qian’s rapid assimilation speed being somewhat surprising, she quickly regained her composure.
Quickly, the sound of hooves echoed once more.
...
It certainly wasn’t out of interest in the fleshly offerings of this person.
Though the silhouette was exquisite, the fragrance overwhelming, to Fu Qian, who had dealt with Ecstasy more than once, hoping to influence his judgment this way was still lacking.
The reason for choosing to go to Kako’s place was simple — she had just mentioned her place was quite empty.
For a newcomer to Paradise, using such a place as a base to gradually adapt and blend in was undoubtedly a normal development, but for him, the efficiency might still be too low.
Time is also a resource, whether or not the warehouse has set a countdown for him.
With Kako’s experience and path, in this strange City of Bliss, social relationships must be complex, and leveraging it wouldn’t hurt.
Besides, it would help shape an image of a person with little insight and a weak will.
It might not necessarily be useful, but having more cards to play is never wrong.
"Please follow me."
During the latter half of the journey, Kako said almost nothing, and when she spoke again, they were in front of a blossoming array of flowers.
Passing through their cover, more spectators than when she awoke from the coffin were observing them first on sight.
...
Not disappointed, social relationships were indeed complex.
In that moment, Fu Qian felt gratified.
Compared to the welcome, this group of spectators, besides being equally attractive and handsome, also had more varied appearances.
For example, a face pierced with over a hundred holes adorned with gold rings, or a headdress almost as long as the upper body, swaying like willows in the wind.
Or even someone completely naked, arms and legs stretching in all directions, tied to a plank held by another muscular individual.
There were both men and women, but undoubtedly, they all recognized Kako, not him.
Feeling the quickly focused gaze on him, Fu Qian calmly walked beside Kako from the carriage, passing through the crowd until they entered a silver door.
The journey wasn’t long, but Fu Qian believed it was enough for these people to ascertain his identity.
"You performed very well, better than any of them."
Even closing the door with a reverse hand, Kako explicitly expressed her admiration.
Although the information in her words seemed substantial, sounding like many outside had been in that observed position before.
"You flatter me; it might be because I died at an older age."
Fu Qian remained indifferent, humbly surveying his surroundings.
Uncertain about Lady Kako’s standard for an empty room, to Fu Qian, her place indeed lacked much.
Golden and magnificent as it seemed from outside, the internal space was also complex, but from this position, besides a half-burned fine incense, no daily use items were visible.
"Hehe... for someone rising from the grave, you are already quite young."
Unaffected by Fu Qian’s scrutiny, Kako let out a gentle laugh.
"Not sure if I should be happy or unhappy hearing that."
Fu Qian, having experienced "early demise," seemed not to notice Kako’s commendation, as she casually lit a candle, focusing instead on another concern.
"So among the group outside, are there any from the Brotherhood?"
...
"No, but there are many from other organizations."
Self-deception has its limits, and until this solitary moment, the performance of the newly awakened "Lu Ming" seemed to make Kako reconsider some judgments.
In an instant, her demeanor restrained, and her response was concise.
Though her face bore no coldness, it was less expressive than during her initial welcome.
Truly, gangs are rampant.
Fu Qian, however, appeared unconcerned, recalling the crowd’s appearance, sighing inwardly that this truly was a paradise version of Sin City.
"You’re a lying villain, you’re not interested in me."
Simultaneously, Kako seemed to confirm her judgment, her voice frosty.
"How could that be, it’s just my interest might not be what you think."
Seeing Kako, who, without much change in visage, truly exuded an aura of authority without anger, Fu Qian casually comforted, indicating she shouldn’t underestimate herself, while also listening intently.
"No matter, I’m interested."
Without disappointing Fu Qian, just when Kako fell silent and stared intently, possibly considering whether to toss him out, there was a knock, and a deep voice accompanied it.
The next moment, the door opened, revealing the audience outside, centered by the sturdy man holding the human plank seen earlier.
"He will also find it interesting."
Seeing Fu Qian look over, the visitor slightly bowed in greeting, a face full of joy.
