Zongman: Evolution Paradise Chapter 147

“Is this the effect of 5 points of luck?”

Xu Lun held the fragment of the round table, feeling a bit speechless.

Which heroic spirits are associated with the round table?

Various versions of King Arthur, Lancelot, Mordred, Gawain, and even the fairy queen Morgan…

None of them are weak. To use a gacha analogy, the prize pool represented by this round table fragment doesn’t even have a permanent four-star!

Getting such a powerful holy relic so easily, Xu Lun didn’t know what to say. He began to wonder if anyone in the Paradise had ever obtained a “Heaven-Blessed Fortune Gu.”

“But is this really just the effect of luck?”

“This mission mode itself is also very strange. All skill items and equipment are sealed. Should a Lv 3 encounter this kind of mode? It feels like it’s targeting the pursuers…”

“Does the Paradise not want me to die?”

With this thought, Xu Lun fiddled with the round table fragment in his hand, showing no fear.

It was like the sky-based weapons of the major organizations in the main world standing in the clouds; who would dare to stick their head out like a Patriot?

If one’s strength was too low, thinking too much was useless. Ants didn’t have the right to be furious just because a giant was watching them.

When Klein first realized he was under the gaze of the Evernight Goddess, what was the God of the Lavatory thinking?

“A true man should be like this!”

Xu Lun found the room with Shinji Matou’s name written on it, walked in, and entered the workshop.

“Yo, Ai.”

Seeing Haibara Ai in a white coat experimenting with a fish, Xu Lun greeted her.

Haibara Ai didn’t even lift her head, asking, “Is the game going smoothly?”

From their perspective, Xu Lun had only left a short while ago.

The moment he entered the workshop, his previously sealed abilities were restored. Feeling his body restart, Xu Lun grumbled in response, “Although it’s not going smoothly, at least there’s no immediate danger to my life.”

“Huh?” Haibara Ai finally put down her experiment, turned to look at Xu Lun, and asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”

“I’ll tell you later, I need to do an experiment.”

Item – Fish Pot

Description: Rub the fish pot, and perhaps a sea god holding a trident will appear inside…

Effect: Rub the fish pot, and a water-related creature will appear from within.

Usage Condition: Luck cannot be too low, as some gods also live in the sea.

Holding the item that Gyokko had dropped, Xu Lun left the workshop again. As expected, his newly restored skills were sealed again. Xu Lun looked at the item in his hand.

He reached out and rubbed the fish pot, but there was no reaction.

“Are items brought out of the workshop also sealed?”

This item also couldn’t be used. Xu Lun returned to the workshop again, rubbed the fish pot again, and relying on his undiminished 5 points of luck, Xu Lun pulled out a bowl of steaming, golden noodles from the pot.

Item – Dish – Catfish Noodles

Description: It’s a pre-made dish, I used a pre-made dish!

Effect: Consuming it restores a large amount of fullness, a small amount of sanity, and reduces ice damage taken by 30% for three hours.

Bonus: None

Usage Condition: Ingestion

Xu Lun: “…As expected, after this game, I should exchange a cooking skill for Mitsuri in the Paradise.”

“Water-related creatures, does that include dead ones?”

Haibara Ai, who knew the effect of the fish pot, complained. She sniffed the aroma of the catfish noodles and leaned closer, her hands itching. She rubbed it, and as usual, a live carp jumped out, which Haibara Ai quickly caught in her hand and tossed aside.

She had been in contact with too many fish recently and had developed an instinctive reaction. It wasn’t just the fish pot item; Rakushinpu often transported fish from near Chiba Port to the Infinity Castle for slaughter.

Thanks to Rakushinpu’s diligent work, the workshop no longer lacked energy, and experimental materials were also abundant.

“Want some?” Xu Lun offered her the catfish noodles.

He had to speed up his actions. The time flow in the workshop was the same as in the main world, meaning that for every second he spent in the workshop, 24 seconds passed in the Fate world.

Opening the door to the Infinity Castle, Xu Lun was going to find Rakushinpu. The workshop could now not only smuggle others but also smuggle Xu Lun himself.

The reason was that the workshop had merged with the Infinity Castle, and the Infinity Castle had set up an entrance in the main world. Xu Lun could enter the workshop from the Fate world, then pass through the Infinity Castle to the main world. To return to the Fate world, he just needed to go back to the workshop.

This bug-exploiting method made Xu Lun quite excited about special rewards like territories.

After all, as long as he could find a way to get another territory and integrate it into the workshop, Xu Lun could try to leave entrances in other worlds, and even one day turn the workshop into something like the Paradise, which could connect countless worlds.

After finding Rakushinpu, Xu Lun had her transfer Black Sun inside. Xu Lun then took Black Sun back into the Fate world.

“How is it? Can you still use your abilities?”

Xu Lun asked the crow on his shoulder.

Black Sun shook its head, letting Xu Lun know that it couldn’t either.

“Is it the peculiarity of this world line, or did the Paradise do it? Black Sun is neither a player nor a follower, yet its abilities are also sealed.”

Xu Lun sent it back and tried to reattach new ability seeds to himself, but it still didn’t work in Fate.

“Brother, dinner’s ready.”

Sakura Matou’s voice came from outside the door. Xu Lun opened the window and released Black Sun. Even without supernatural abilities, Black Sun was an excellent Kasugai Crow.

Opening the door and going down to the living room, Zouken Matou had already woken up. He took his dentures out of a cup and put them in his mouth, saliva dripping down his fingers, looking like a simple old man.

Seeing Xu Lun come downstairs, Zouken Matou turned his body somewhat clumsily, his mouth, newly fitted with dentures, mumbled a greeting, “Shinji, come eat quickly.”

“Mm.” Xu Lun walked to the table. Sakura Matou had prepared dinner in a partitioned style, with each person having an independent plate. Xu Lun glanced at the light outside and thought it might be a bit too early for dinner.

The three keywords Xu Lun had written on the designated card were “cuisine,” “swords,” and “magic.”

The Fate worldview perfectly fit these. It had swords, it had magic, and even for cuisine, the Fate worldview had a cooking anime like “Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family.”

Because of the comparison with the other women in his family, Xu Lun’s evaluation of Sakura Matou’s cooking was that it was “quite palatable.” Although it wasn’t amazing, as ordinary cooking, it was already full marks.

At the dinner table, Sakura Matou repeated what she had said to Xu Lun on the way to Zouken Matou, making it seem very warm. Xu Lun didn’t speak, and they didn’t find it inappropriate.

[Archer class has appeared]

[Assassin class has appeared]

[Saber class has appeared]

The three sudden announcements from the Paradise made Xu Lun pause, then he calmly continued eating.

The Saber’s stats were the strongest, while the Archer and Assassin were best suited for ambushing players. All were relatively good among the seven major classes.

Now, only Lancer, Caster, Berserker, and Rider could be summoned. How to describe these four classes?

Lancers historically had E-rank luck and would die inexplicably.

Casters had good stats, but unfortunately, other heroic spirits had Magic Resistance, i.e., magic defense. Without an SSR, it would be difficult to fight other classes.

Berserkers had no sanity. Except for a few special ones, they were the class Xu Lun least wanted.

Riders had no major flaws.

“It hasn’t been long, and they’ve already found summoning items. It seems this time’s players are not simple either.”

Holy relics were just optional conditions for summoning, while the necessary condition for summoning heroic spirits was the “summoning item” mentioned by the Paradise.

Although Xu Lun had watched Fate, he hadn’t reached the point where he could draw the magic circle for summoning heroic spirits, and the Paradise hadn’t said what kind of item it had prepared.
