Helper? Am I checking if I need a helper for myself? More like surveillance!

Chun bravely refuses: "I wouldn't dare trouble you, my lord. I have my own pace of handling things."

Maria chuckles: "Alright then, let's see your 11th-ranked power. Also, you've performed well this week, so go claim your reward. If you're ready, you can find me to continue to Lost Paradise."

After speaking, the scene shifts and blurs around Chun.

Chun is stunned, did I refuse that easily? And I have a reward?

After a few seconds of blurriness, the scene finally switches, and Chun finds himself in a lavish...where?

——System message: You have arrived at the city Cloud Cliff on the third layer of Hell. You have been granted the usage rights to Cloud Cliff's luxury villa number 011. (Note: Owning property increases attributes, raises the attribute cap after rest, and has significant effects such as hosting guests, reselling, etc. The more property you own, the stronger your composite attribute stacking becomes...)

——System message: Congratulations! You've received an attribute augmentation from the villa, your All Attributes +30%.

Chun is dumbfounded, so this is? A reward of a house?

Chun hurriedly checks with his main account:

——System message: You've shared your clone's "Basic Treasure Identification Technique" through Soul Link...

——System message: Congratulations! You own a luxury villa, your All Attributes +30%!

——System message: Congratulations! Your Physical Strength and Life have been significantly enhanced, your Disease Resistance is greatly strengthened, you're close to overcoming self-healing from diseases!

Holy Shit!!!

Chun is shocked, it really is the legendary buy-a-house boost attributes! Plus 30%!! Even a level 105 Divine Artifact Black Flag Order only adds 105%! The key is, you can keep buying houses ah! This plague-reduced attribute cap relies on a Black Flag Order and a mansion, just supporting each other to reach self-healing? So Maria's way of awarding houses is to treat plague?

So this is the third layer of Hell, which means it's what the Black Dragon Envoy referred to as Demon Realm?

At this moment, a woman clad in a maid's outfit flies over: "Welcome home, master! I'm housekeeper Mary serving you!"

There's even a housekeeper? Chun detects a hint: "Why say master?"

The housekeeper replies: "Because the mistress is Lady Mary ah!"

Huh? Chun is perplexed: "You're called Mary! You mentioned Lady Mary, who is she?"

The housekeeper says: "I am housekeeper Mary! Lady Mary is supervisor Mary, also known as Bloody Mary."

So the supervisor's name is Mary! Hence, the house is actually hers! I don't have a property certificate, only usage rights, like a guest, perhaps?

Chun seeks to confirm: "I'm just a guest, right? Then why call me master?"

The housekeeper laughs: "You are the master ah!"

Chun asks: "So, what's my relationship with Lady Mary?"

The housekeeper smiles even sweeter: "You could be a couple, just not formally married yet without a certificate. Overall, the master's privilege is the ability to use assets within the villa."

Chun finds it hard to believe!

So, getting a house reward, also a wife reward? This reward is truly lavish!

But wait a second! This obviously hinges on my performance, if I don't perform well, I can be kicked out anytime, right?

Chun's voice trembles: "Where is Lady Mary then?"

The housekeeper answers: "Lady Mary has been very busy recently and hasn't come home. Oh right, these are the gift cards presented by your two subordinates this week. You can use the cards at the Mining Commerce Association to extract Mineral Crystals worth 430,000."

——System message: You've received gift cards offered by subordinates Ali Benga and Alasola. These gift cards can be used in major city Mining Commerce Associations in Hell.

These little ones are genuinely honoring me! Given they honor me with 430,000, what should the total of extorted amount be?

Chun quickly asks: "There should be quite a number of Adventurers from the surface world here now, where are they?"

The housekeeper replies: "The master refers to the fallen ones, right? A total of 3,000 people, they are currently on the first layer. Their Illusion Skill Values and Mining Techniques are insufficient to enter the second layer."

Holy Shit, 3,000 people!!

Such a large number of people and slow progress exceeds Chun's expectations. Understood, too many people, not enough mushrooms to go around, hence the stalemate? Fine then.

Chun asks again: "Can this gift card extract Mining Coins?"

The housekeeper smiles: "Since it's a gift card, it can only extract mineral resources ah, if the master sells the minerals, that's a different matter."

Then sell them! They all say this game makes money, yet I haven't earned a penny since the open beta! All Mining Coins have gone into task investments ah. Now with more houses and a wife, clearly encouraging me to experience the game's thrill, continue investing in the game, completely addictive ah...

The housekeeper asks: "Does the master need rest and sleep? Good sleep can increase your Physical Strength cap and..."

Chun immediately interrupts: "No, I want to stroll around the city, sell the minerals!"

I refuse to believe it, it's alright for high-level players on the 7th layer to guard bank doors, but are there big players even on the 3rd layer? Also guarding doors?

The housekeeper says: "Master, this is a special vacation city with all kinds of entertainment, but it doesn't have a Mining Commerce Association ah!"

Holy Shit! The system is doing everything to prevent me from exchanging for Mining Coins isn't it?

Chun is extremely helpless: "Then can I have a look at the panoramic view of this vacation city?"

The housekeeper says: "Certainly, my lord. Would you like me to lift you into the air for an aerial view of the city?"

Although I'm small, but do...

Chun helplessly agrees: "Then lift me up."

The housekeeper reminds: "After all, the master has tasks on the seventh layer, it is advised for you to be invisible or use another transformation state to avoid being seen by relevant figures. Thus, I'll arrange a noble appearance for you."

After speaking, a red mist envelops Chun, and in the next moment, he finds himself rising high, transformed into a handsome, delicate young man!

Holy Shit! This housekeeper has skill ah!

But for safety, better make myself invisible too.

Then the housekeeper embraces Chun from behind and flies up into the air over the villa, where Chun suddenly discovers this villa is isolated on a cloud high cliff. Such high cliffs are scattered around like sky piercing pillars, dozens of them!

The housekeeper explains: "Here the scenery is particularly unique and magic power is particularly abundant, a total of 72 pillars corresponding to the 72 Demon Gods in Hell, each with a luxury villa. Only the wealthy and nobles can afford to live here. There are strange natural arrays connecting the 72 pillars, allowing every property owner to collectively share resources. Even nobles from the sixth and seventh layers come here to buy mansions, which is why I suggested changing your appearance."

Chun is truly stunned: "Is the environment here better than the seventh layer?"

The housekeeper says: "Indeed! That's why it's a vacation city ah!"

Chun looks at the cloud sea below: "Let me see underneath."

"Below are towns where various races of civilians and slaves live, their tasks are to serve the 72 mansion pillars..."

While speaking, Chun descends through the clouds and sees, below the cliffs there is a sea, a forest, towns, farmlands...

The key is, there is a sea ah! Is it connected to the Sea of Creation?
