“I was told you have Booty,” the leader said, his expression deadly serious. Lex, on the other hand, almost broke character. “Excuse me?” he said, unsure of how exactly to respond to that statement. Before the man could repeat himself, though, a golf cart approached them with a relatively short and bulky man hanging out the side. “Captain, you’re finally here,” the man yelled with a massive grin. Looking at the telling man, the leader’s expression softened a bit, and he simply waited…-

A week went by since Lex’s conversation with Velma. It was oddly peaceful and the least hectic week Lex had in a while, which allowed him to spend the time very productively. He finalized the employees’ pay at 100 MP a week. Counting employees that worked at the Avalon and manor, as well as the various miscellaneous jobs across the Inn, he had roughly 150 workers. He was momentarily mind blown when he realized how many people he had working for them. He deducted 360,000 MP from his total and set the…

In a relatively remote corner of the Inn, far away from any of the main attractions, Lex built a cabin. The cabin itself wasn’t too large, with 3 individual bedrooms and one living room that also had a kitchen in it. If anything, the unique part of this cabin was the secret basement. The entrance to the basement was completely hidden and could not be detected, as arranged by Lex, by using his powers, so that if Remy ever needed to bring someone else into the cabin, they would never detect the opening. A…

While Fenrir was currently sleeping in Lex’s room, he wanted to create a real home for it. He looked at its thick coat and immediately knew where it should live. Since it was a newborn, Lex would not be leaving it alone for now, but in the future, its home would be near the peak of Midnight Mountain. Lex made a few quick alterations and a small, yet hidden cave appeared near the peak of the mountain. He left the cave empty for now, as he planned on designing it based on Fenrir’s personality, but carved…

Tuning into the piano music being played at the Midnight manor, Lex slowly rubbed his fingers together as he listed down the pros and cons of Protector D, the pup. The pro was obvious. Since it was a newborn pup, Lex could train it from birth, which would mean that loyalty was not an issue. After all, dogs were extremely loyal. But the con was also fairly obvious. The whole point of having a protector in the first place was to provide security, but if the protector was even weaker than Lex, then its…

Putting everything aside, Lex focused on the Protector token. There was no use in waiting to use it, as every moment he didn’t was a moment he was left without protection. Without any further hesitation, Lex crushed the token. Immediately, a display appeared before him with a few lines of instructions, which read: Please wait while the system scans for suitable protectors of SSS rank. Please note, you may only select one of the displayed protectors. Please note, to protect the identity of the…

With a confused look on her face, Mary said, “I… genuinely have no idea. The only information I received from the Inn says, and I quote, ‘While at the Inn, one is protected from the influence of destiny’. Destiny is a very… abstract concept. I guess we’ll have to wait till you reach a higher realm, or develop your own understanding of destiny to fully understand what this means.” Lex frowned. He could guess what destiny meant, but his understanding of destiny was heavily influenced by…

When Lex finally opened his eyes, he was so shocked he barely understood what was happening. He had only just entered the Qi Training realm, and yet a couple of days later he had a spontaneous, repeated breakthrough and entered Qi training level 3! A part of him wanted to believe that Lex was just an unprecedented genius of epic proportions when it came to cultivation, but knew that that was probably not the truth. “Mary, what just happened?” Lex asked as he quickly started to munch on his burritos.…

Lex, who had been conversing with his guests, was extremely confused by the notification, but noting that it was not something urgent, set the matter aside for later. Currently, he was preoccupied with his guests. Seeing that the Innkeeper wasn’t actually disappearing, and actually greeting his guests, many wanted to take an opportunity to get acquainted. Lex knew for a fact that even with his enhanced mental capabilities, he would never be able to remember all the people he was meeting, but Mary’s…

The award ceremony kicked off with a display of fireworks over the coliseum. It was nothing too fancy visually, compared to some of the big displays Lex had seen on Earth, but he noticed for the first time that the fireworks he had been setting off gave a unique fluctuation in spiritual energy that was pleasant to experience! Who could have guessed? Other than the sound of the fireworks, and the dazzling lights, another sensation had been added to the ones at the Inn. This made them wonderful in their…
