Zongman: Evolution Paradise

He has the protection of the workshop and the [Evil Gaze of the Abyss] that allows him to directly contact Karma and hear His teachings, making him a treasure trove of talent for Jolyne.

However, the conditions for using it are truly bizarre.

"I'm quite satisfied with the reward, but Mr. Nakano Maruo, are you trying to kill me?"

Jolyne complained.

"I'm glad you're satisfied. I'll prepare another payment after it's done."

Just as Jolyne said, the exchange of benefits did make Nakano Maruo feel more at ease.

In fact, while waiting for Jolyne, Nakano Maruo had already researched the school.

Just because Jolyne couldn't detect it doesn't mean his classmates couldn't see it.

Based on the traces on these people's souls, Nakano Maruo could only say that he was slightly relieved. There were simply too many ways to conceal themselves, and Nakano Maruo was also afraid that Jolyne might be some kind of bloodthirsty killer behind the scenes.

Hmm... Uncle Mads is a good person behind the scenes, but on the surface he's also a handsome uncle.

Upon meeting Jolyne, Nakano Maruo probed every aspect of her life.

Unable to access the mind?

Unable to reach the soul?

Still unable to guide his destiny?

For a player who so hard counters him, Nakano Maruo was tempted to just kill him.

However, the casual mention of Bai Han by Xu Lun was a way of telling himself that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"That's enough for today. I predict the invitation from the amusement park will arrive soon, so tonight we'll use black letters to proactively make them players."

Before that, I will take them back to prepare them for the trial mission.

Nakano Maruo said seriously.

The so-called preparation, of course, is the already decided to turn these five equal parts into one person.

Nino Nakano and Miku Nakano wanted to say something more to Jolyne, but Maruo Nakano was already about to leave. At that moment, Jolyne asked a question.

"So that guy is dead?"

He was naturally referring to Lingna's ex-husband.

"I don't know. I haven't found him again. I can only confirm that he's not in the main world. He might have died in the game in Paradise, or maybe..."

Before the last words had even faded, the figures of Nakano Maruo and the five sisters had already disappeared.

Jolyne sat quietly for a while, when Jorogumo suddenly appeared, poked her head out, and accurately located the black tea and tea set that Yukino Yukinoshita had put away. She then served Jolyne a cup of black tea with exquisite skill.

"Master, please use it."

Jolyne took it, glanced at her sideways, and placed the little spider on her lap, spanking its bottom.

"No, don't punish Jorogumo!"

Jorogumo shouted in a pretentious manner, appearing completely excited and enjoying herself.

"..."

Jolyne sighed, rubbing Jorogumo's smooth skin, and used her talent stone to add the talent [Listener] to the player's panel.

"I hope we don't encounter any strange initial trials. If even with my help, we still can't get an S-rank rating, it would be too embarrassing for me to accept the reward in front of Nakano Maruo."

Jolyne's original trial was to survive for seven days in a zombie dungeon, so the Five-Part Trial shouldn't be too difficult either. But whether or not she can get an S-rank depends on luck, aside from her strength.

Seeing that her master was preoccupied, Jorogumo, who was lying on Jolyne's lap, turned around with a smile, her waist, as soft as dough, folding in half astoundingly.

"Master, shall I serve you?"

Jorin ruffled Jorogumo's hair and gave a tense reply.

……

In the end, Jorogumo drank the cup of black tea she had brewed herself, while Jolyne used teleportation to arrive at the Shikagami Shrine.

Since the area in front of the Deer God Shrine is frequented by tourists, Jolyne arrived at the back mountain, which is not open to tourists. This area has been transformed into a special temple by Medea's magic.

As soon as the spatial teleportation arrived, Rin Tohsaka, dressed in sportswear, flew towards Jolyne's direction.

Well... the "flying over" doesn't mean this guy has learned to fly, but rather that Esdeath's boots are still hovering in mid-air.

Jolyne caught Rin Tohsaka and used the Clear World to examine her injuries. Several of her ribs were broken, and her internal organs showed signs of damage. Her magic circuits, which had only recently restarted after leaving the Fate world, were also struggling under the strain and groaned in pain.

"Your special training intensity is a bit too high."

Jolyne said that Rin Tohsaka was pale and began to resist when Jolyne held her, then Jolyne let go and let her fall to the ground.

Cough, cough, cough

"You bastard, you..."

Rin Tohsaka took a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and waved her hand dismissively.

"Anyway, Lily can repair her body instantly without leaving any hidden injuries."

“That’s right, Master, I’m right here.”

Lily, sitting next to Matou Sakura, waved energetically to Jolyne.

In Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou's special training, she, as the healer, was crucial; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to endure Esdeath's combat training for even a moment.

Hmm... Jolyne thinks that strategy and tactics are not things that can be learned quickly. Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou are both smart people, and their adaptability is enough to handle most troubles. The only thing they urgently need to improve is practical combat training.

Then Esdeath, who was a little free, came over.

While Kanroji Mitsuri and the others were preparing for the opening of the dessert shop, Esdeath, carrying Lily, began preparing special training for Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura.

Now they truly understand what it means to have iodine on a whip and disinfect it while being whipped. They have been whipping each other for more than four hours now.

Sakura Matou sat down because her mental state was really at its breaking point; only Rin Tohsaka was still gritting her teeth and enduring Esdeath's beating.

"Come again!"

Rin Tohsaka believed that one day she would be able to trample Esdeath under her feet.

As for why her target changed from Jolyne to Esdeath, it's simply because Esdeath's personality is so awful. The way she humiliates people while fighting makes Rin Tohsaka want to become a player immediately.

That's all for today.

Esdeath rejected Rin Tohsaka; she now prefers to be closer to her master.

Her attire today was rather neutral, and she began replenishing her Master energy as soon as she walked up to Jolyne.

Upon seeing this, Rin Tohsaka turned her head and returned to Sakura Matou's side. Lily took out [Perfect Repair] to help her heal her injuries.

"Really..."

Seeing Esdeath, who had been beating her up, suddenly turn into a little girl in front of Jolyne, Rin Tohsaka was at a loss for words. She hugged her legs, her training pants already torn, revealing her fair skin.

Chapter 360 Blessing Activity

Her legs are so shapely that the meme "I could admire those legs for a year" originated from her.

Suddenly stopping the battle, Rin Tohsaka also felt her mental exhaustion.

Unlike the Nakano Five Sisters, Rin Tohsaka, who has always been a young lady, is quite confident about the upcoming trial mission.

"Rin Tohsaka, you and Sakura Matou possess a talent for battle that is the envy of ordinary people. There is no need to worry too much about the situation in Paradise."

These were the words Jolyne had said to her, and Rin Tohsaka would unconsciously clench her fingers whenever she recalled them.

Just then, a voice sounded.

"Want to eat?"

Jorogumo opened the box, and a burst of golden light shone before them.

"Ta-da! Honey bread rolls that Miri just baked, a special dish that can quickly restore a lot of happiness and stamina."

"I want to eat." Lily quickly took a bite, her fierce expression making it seem as if she were Esdeath kissing Jolyne right in front of her.

"This statement sounds like a game."

Rin Tohsaka took one, and the moment she took a bite, she felt a wave of happiness wash over her.

"Isn't everything for players just the game?"

"That's true."

Looking at her younger sister beside her, Rin Tohsaka made up her mind and said, "Let's train for a few more days, then we'll find Jolyne and enter the park to become players."

"No problem."

Sakura Matou's smile remains sweet, and she even picks up bread to feed Lily.

……

Time comes to night.

Esdeath has been incredibly clingy lately, and Jolyne finally managed to shake off her dependence.

After giving Lily a kiss as compensation, he went to the shrine's head priest's office.

Karen, dressed as a priestess, was sitting on a high-backed chair next to Jolyne, handling some business.

However, she seemed a little distracted.

Drawn to Jolyne beside her, Kallen's golden eyes would steal glances at her master every now and then.

Because she hadn't experienced the series of troubles in the original story, her heart remained pure and innocent. Just smelling Jolyne's scent made her mind go into a mess, like being scratched by a cat. Her fair, tender legs, hidden beneath her priestess's clothes, also unconsciously became entangled.

"What's wrong?" Jolyne asked, reaching out to ruffle Kallen's hair. Kallen's eyes welled up with tears as she rubbed her head against Jolyne's palm.

Karen is petite and possesses a unique, divine aura. Her slightly wavy silver hair, combined with her somewhat translucent skin after transforming into a ghost story, makes her incredibly adorable.

Jolyne is actually a bit of a white-haired fetishist.

Of course, the white hair he likes isn't the outrageous white-haired, black-faced look from Ultraman Triga.

Whether it's Jorogumo's milky white, Yukino's bluish-white, Karen's silver-white, or Mary's pale white... Jolyne likes them all quite a bit.

However, Jorogumo has been corrupted by the main world's network and lost her virginity. Yukino is usually very shy, Marie is a tsundere who is more arrogant than affectionate, Irisviel avoids Jolyne, and Illya is very boisterous. In the end, Jolyne only has Kallen, the white-haired girl, who is relatively easy to manage.

"There is indeed something that needs His Highness's attention regarding this document."

Karen stared at the table, took out a document from a large pile of documents, and placed it in front of Jolyne.

"Can't Saeko and Jorogumo handle this?"

Jolyne asked.

Before joining the Chiba Zoo, Jorogumo was busy building an intelligence network and constantly on guard against any unexpected events that might occur around Jolyne.

And now that it's joined Chiba Zoo...

It can only be said that after one's perspective changes, many things begin to change.

After all, they are a top-tier power in Japan, and Jolyne is holding Kanoko's deer leg, so there is no need to collect ordinary information anymore.

And the important intelligence?

Just like the sudden appearance of Nakano Maruo, something of this caliber is not something that the current Jorogumo can easily detect with a small spider.

Instead of having Jorogumo investigate, Jolyne should just go ask the Chiba Zoo directly.

That's right, the old woman has been a bit free lately.

Aside from her daily spying on her master and keeping an eye on Jolyne's acquaintances in case she encounters danger, her focus has shifted to perfecting the establishment of the Ghost Story Association.

Don't underestimate the Ghost Story Association just because it's still weak. It's the only force Jolyne has decided to establish so far, and Jorogumo, who has watched a series of palace intrigue dramas, takes it very seriously.

The Ghost Stories Association is the future trend.

Jorogumo was the perfect "demon" to take charge of this power for Jolyne.

In terms of seniority, she was the first member of the Ghost Story Association; in terms of ability, the Ghost Story Association's core territory, Infinite Castle, had already been taken over by Jorogumo.

then……

Before she could even enjoy her newfound happiness for two days, Jorogumo discovered that Saeko Busujima was also planning to take control of the Ghost Stories Association.

The Ghost Story Association already has quite a few members, including Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, the Nine Ghost Stories, and even Kurohi and Yukino Fuyuki.
