Xue Qi steadied her breath, turned her gaze to Bai Yuan, and after composing herself, began:

“Hello, could you tell us about this hotel? Is it not a manifested Thought-Reality field that has truly descended? “

Her voice drifted as she glaced down at the diamond-set Ferald pendant hanging from her neck; the crystal cartridge in her communicator was buzzing with frenzy for her to get information about this place.

“Not every territory that suddenly surfaces is a true descent. That is merely some ability stemming by a bloodline reaching a high rank. “

Bai Yuan smiled slightly as he looked at Xue Qi standing by the young man, then surveyed the rest in the room who fixed their attention, quietly waiting for his instructions.

“According to the message passed on by that Full Moon Angel, this hotel is called the 【Fee Travel Hotel】. As its name suggests, the accommodation fee it charges is the customer’s own journey. “

“Fan Lu Hotel. “

Everyone murmured the name.

“Is this hotel a treasure? Is it a divine artifact in itself? “

Bai Yuan smiled, saying nothing, and looked at Yang Zicang, who was somewhat dazed by the news that had just hit him.

“No wonder the Weiting Travel Merchant Association is still drifting out at sea at a time like this, instead of heading to the Next Era Land. ” The crowd speculated.

Yang Zicang finally understood the means by which the Weiting Travel Merchant Association managed to acquire the Radiance—it was through this hotel.

He glanced around at the spacious room, whose walls had now become a riot of color.

By now, the rippling watercolor patterns on the wall were finally beginning to slow, gradually revealing the hotel’s old-fashioned yet elegant décor.

Yang Zicang stepped over Wapi’s fallen body, carefully checked the entrance, and noticed that there were ten rooms staggered along this floor, with a staircase in the middle leading downward.

Xue Qi whispered into Yang Zicang’s ear, “The distributor raised my price. “

“How much? “

“One hundred and fifty percent. “

“……“

As everyone was marveling at this mysterious treasure, a man at the back pushed through the crowd toward a hidden corner. The Travel Merchant Guild guard, who had been trying hard not to draw attention to himself, saw the sword-wielding figure approach and spoke in a dry, raspy voice. “Hey… don’t come any closer… “

A fair-faced young man grabbed the Travelers’ Guild guard by the collar, yanked him out, threw him to the ground, then drew the exquisite knight’s sword from his back and aimed it at his head.

“Talk. Tell me everything about your Guild and this inn. “

Yang Zicang turned his head toward the small commotion there.

It was the young man who had sponsored him first. Several people who had previously helped She Liqi also surrounded the remaining living Travelers’ Guild thugs.

Even with their tens of thousands of years of seasonal capital, these men dared not act recklessly now, knowing full well that the ruthless man by the door had, without a second thought, shot dead Vice President Wapi, who had failed to read the situation.

In the crowd, Kim Tae-cheol looked on helplessly, a sword and a dagger crossed against his neck. His key had already been taken from him, and he looked like a crestfallen dolphin, craning his neck while dejectedly leaning against the wall.

A few steps away, the Travelers’ Guild guard being held at sword-point by She Liqi spoke in a defeated tone:

“I’ve already said everything I know before. The Guild Leader got his hands on some spatial treasure. Ever since, we’ve been on the run, hiding out at sea. But… “

The guard paused in thought, then continued:

“After that, our main business added a new component—collecting people’s experiences. In truth, we never collected much each time. I thought I overheard… they talking about who should stay in which room. But whenever I got close, they’d stop talking and find an excuse to send me off to do something else. “

Click.A chambering sound echoed from within “Night Rose. “

The man immediately said, “I’ve told you everything I know! I… I never knew there was a Divinity inside. Truly, I didn’t! “

Given his shocked and fearful expression, it seemed he genuinely had no knowledge of the so-called “Divinity ” matter.

“So, how do you enter and leave this inn? “

“Its entrance can be fixed in one place, but only the boss can control it. Plus, the entry point rotates each month. “

“My time is limited. ” She Liqi, though boyishly handsome in appearance, carried the aura of a warrior.

“We… none of us know where the main entrance is anchored, and we can’t get out. To enter here, we usually overlap one room with a real-world room. That’s how we come and go. Otherwise, we’d need the key. “

Before the man before him could speak again, he hurriedly added,

“Only those who have acquired long-term residency rights to a hotel room can obtain access to enter and leave that room. Apart from the top few members, none of us have this authority. Oh, that’s right! I just remembered, a long time ago when they first got the keys, the leader said… if each of the ten rooms on a floor is occupied by our own people, it grants the right to become the floor’s so-called manager.“

The longsword lifted slightly, and the man’s neck shrank back, but he truly had no idea what else he could say.

“This world still relies on temporal-sequence combat, doesn’t it? Invest all your temporal sequence into me, then go stand over there.“

“Yes, yes!“

｛I invested 1R of sequence into the man before me.｝

｛I received Peacock’s super dividend of 24,300N.｝

She Liqi listened to the voice in his heart.

“Is that all?“

“I’m just a worker here—I’ve already lost eight or nine thousand sequence from you guys messing me up earlier.“

The guard spoke with a sobbing tone, his hands crossed over his chest.

｛I returned 1,300N to Peacock.｝

She Liqi sheathed his longsword and slung it over his back.

The nearby folks who had all heard the news started chattering among themselves.

Yang Zicang watched She Liqi stride toward him. He knew full well that the reason he was going through all this questioning was clearly to strive for the radiance of his own glory.

“Mr. Buchen, I won’t bother with an introduction. I’m truly grateful for the rebate you gave me earlier, but I reckon you must have already reached the ten-thousand-year cap on temporal sequence.“

In the old Track of Fate, reaching ten thousand sequences meant immediate departure, but within the unstable intersecting lands, one could actually accumulate additional sequences corresponding to the number of model lines, with each line representing ten thousand years.

After arriving on the new Track of Fate, those who could continue to upgrade their slot models could break this limit and begin advancing toward the great milestone of one hundred thousand years.

Facing She Liqi’s inquiry, Yang Zicang gave a faint smile, which was as good as an admission.

“Too much to store away… ” She Liqi said in a self-deprecating tone. “When you can accommodate sequences again, I’ll return them to you, but I’ll be taking half as a fee. “

“Then they’re yours. Thank you for the investment. “

She Liqi’s expression paused briefly, then he burst into an utterly forthright smile.

People cautiously filed out of the room one by one to check outside.

Bai Yuan took a very leisurely glance at the room, whose walls flowed like liquid watercolor, then crouched down and touched the floor.

“Based on what I’ve learned, to take control of this hotel, each room requires a piece of Radiant Glory. “

Everyone, both inside and outside the room, was visibly moved.

Bai Yuan looked up at Yang Zicang. “According to the data, Feishu Hotel has a total of thirty-one rooms. “

“Only thirty-one rooms after all, huh. “

Someone immediately declared loudly, “That’s easy enough! With thirty pieces of Radiant Glory, I think if we all work together, we can get that done in no time. “

“But that Travelers’ Guild has been drifting at sea for so long without completely mastering the hotel… There’s no way they couldn’t have collected thirty Glows, right?“

“They truly haven’t fully controlled the hotel even now. What do you think the reason is?“

“Of course it’s because they lack the Flash!” Peacock, the Travelers’ Guild guard who had lost all his chronology, quickly blurted out.

He could never return to the Travelers’ Guild now, so he naturally took the chance to drive the nail in the coffin.

“That’s obvious.” Bai Yuan stood up, dusting off his hands.

Glows can be gathered with enough effort, but a ‘Heroic Flash’ is not so easily obtained.

That is the kind of truly glorious experience you get only by giving your all to accomplish what seems nearly impossible.

The model lines of Peacock darted towards Yang Zicang.

{Boss, I’ll only tell you: even though you can’t fully master the hotel, if you control all the rooms on a single floor, and with the unanimous agreement of all ten guests staying on that floor, you can anchor one of the rooms to a real-world room. Entering that is like entering a hotel guest room—that’s how we got in. }

Yang Zicang glanced at the man who had previously insisted he knew nothing.

｛How many floors are there in total.｝

{Four, but I heard there’s also a basement. }

—— “Attention to all new arrivals, guests from Room 205, please come to the manager’s office on the first floor to complete your check-in.“

The voice echoed through every corner of the second floor.

Xue Qi looked toward the middle of the hallway; as soon as that voice sounded, several figures dashed wildly toward the stairs below.

Those who can enter the new Track of Fate are all individuals who have been tempered through countless perils. Upon hearing the news of an “Divine Echelon ” existence and realizing it was right before their eyes, they immediately began calculating their chances of obtaining it!

The possibility was extremely high!

Although that guy named Yang Buchen was formidable, this was a Divine Echelon! The probability of encountering it again was nearly zero!

The Divine Echelon was within reach, and everyone present was a seasoned risk-taker, living on the edge. How could they give up without even giving it a try?

A flicker of peculiarity flashed in Yang Zicang’s eyes.

“He’s here, hurry! “

Catching sight of Yang Zicang’s figure charging in from the entrance, the few people at the stairwell instantly erected layers of barriers, while specks of metallic filings surfaced on one of their skins, as if afflicted by a severe skin disease.

Thump, thump, thump!

Yang Zicang’s figure plunged down the corridor like a runaway horse. He heard voices from below, someone shouting about “Renting a room ” and calls for “Where’s the boss? “

“Stop him! Let Dong Yi check in! “

The four stood firm at the stairwell landing.
