Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

"Go away, why are you sticking your face so close to me..."

Lu Li stretched out his hand and pushed Hansel away, with a look of disgust on his face: "Let's find a quiet place and talk about business."

"Okay!" Hansel nodded, and then shouted to everyone's surprise:

"There are four VIP guests in the upstairs box!"

Even Lu Li was startled and wondered what was wrong with Hansel all of a sudden.

The next second, a staircase appeared, spiraling out from the ceiling.

The whole is outlined with crayon lines, and it looks like the result of hasty work and is extremely simple.

"When did the casino have a second floor..."

Lu Li was surprised and asked in a low voice.

Hansel chuckled and explained as if to take credit:

"Since the casino had them, the revenue has increased dozens of times compared to before."

"The increase in customer traffic also allows the secret realm to grow and accumulate strength, and we have enough capital."

"As the 'Captain of the Cattle and Horses' who is in charge of the management, shouldn't I be thinking about expanding it?"

"So that's how it is. As the power of the secret realm grows, it can even expand its scale..." Lu Li muttered to himself.

His mind immediately sank and he focused on the [Casino Ownership Agreement] in his hand.

In the mental field of vision, an exquisitely shaped three-dimensional model of a casino suddenly appeared.

Every internal detail is taken into consideration; although small in size, it has everything.

And above the first floor hall, there is indeed an extra small space.

The rough lines, like those drawn with crayons, are slowly spreading out in all directions, like densely growing roots.

Indeed, as Hansel said, the second floor is being 'expanded'.

However, there was only one so-called "private room" and the other parts were not seen.

"Okay, let's go up first."

Lu Li checked and found nothing unusual, so he put away the agreement and walked up the stairs.

The players in the casino came back to their senses at this moment, and looked at the people walking up the stairs with surprised expressions:

"Fuck, I think I've been playing for too long and I'm hallucinating..."

"Hey, did you see that? It looks like there's a spiral staircase coming down from the ceiling?"

"Nonsense, I'm not blind, I just didn't expect this casino to have a second floor..."

"Who are those people wearing pig masks? Why are they being led upstairs by Hansel?"

"Who cares? Let's give it a try. Maybe we can find something good if we follow him!"

After a brief discussion, a few brave players who had not yet participated in the gambling immediately chose to follow suit.

But the strange thing is,

The staircase drawn by stick figures has lost its ability to bear weight.

It's like an illusory projection. No matter how hard the players try, they can't take a step forward.

"I can't get up there. What's going on?"

"Is there a bug? How can the four of them get up there?"

"Hansel is the weird one in the secret realm. I understand that he can go up there, but why can those four people wearing piggy masks also go up there?"

"Maybe it's because of their different status? I just heard Hansel shout, 'Four VIPs in the upstairs box'..."

"That's for sure. I even heard Hansel call that man 'boss'..."

"Fuck, to be able to make Hansel call me boss... Could it be that they are also weird?!"

Thinking of this, several players who were about to follow upstairs shuddered violently.

Damn it,

It is said that curiosity killed the cat.

Their curious actions almost got themselves killed!

Although Hansel has never killed anyone, it is still strange in this secret place.

If you accidentally make him angry, crushing these players to death would be no different from crushing a few ants.

Out of fear, the players did not dare to try again and returned to the gambling table obediently.

I just stole a glance from time to time, with a little curiosity mixed with fear...

Go up to the second floor.

Although the surrounding scenery is equally simple, it is not made up of just stick drawings like the spiral staircase.

Hansel opened the door to the box and pulled out a chair himself.

He brushed away the non-existent dust with his sleeve, then invited Lu Li to sit down.

"Hey, boss, this place is absolutely quiet and isolated from the outside world!"

"Even if a player uses an item with a rule effect, it will not be easy to spy on what is happening inside the box."

"And without your permission, no one can set foot on the second floor, including me!"

“So, hehehe…” Having said that, Hansel smiled wickedly and glanced at Alyssa and Li Luo, as well as Pan Xiaoxiao, who was sandwiched between the two women and whose body was limp and difficult to stand:

"Boss, you can do whatever you want in the box!"

"For you, you idiot!" Lu Li rolled his eyes.

"I came to talk to you about serious matters."

"Ah? Is there anything more correct than 'doing whatever you want'?" Hansel was stunned and responded subconsciously.

"Help me find a secret realm of rules, [Conch Girl]." Lu Li was too lazy to joke with Hansel and got straight to the point:

"So that's what happened. Boss, why didn't you tell me earlier? I just happened to have collected a lot of tickets from gamblers recently. I'll look for them. I'm sure there's the [Conch Girl] you want..."

As he spoke, Hansel walked out of the box with a smile on his face.

It looked like he was planning to go to the first floor and look through his treasure chest.

"Hey, wait a moment." Lu Li stopped him in time and explained:

"I'm going to a designated secret place to find someone."

Hansel was stunned:

"Go to a designated secret realm? There are already players in there, and you want to join them halfway?"

"Well, you should be able to do it, right?" Lu Li tilted his head, smiling.

"What a joke! Who do you think I am? The Lord of Mysteries?!" Hansel suddenly became emotional and shouted exaggeratedly:

"If you want to evade the entrance fee to other secret realms, I can do that. At most, I can use some connections..."

"But how is it possible for you to enter other secret realms halfway?"

"It's just like asking Lin Daiyu to swing an axe. It's just forcing someone to do something they can't do!"

"But you can actually swing it, right?" Lu Li's expression remained unchanged as he spoke softly:

"Uh..." Hansel was speechless.

"Hurry up, time is running out." Lu Li patted Hansel's shoulder and urged:

"I'm not as familiar with the casino's controls as you are. If I really force it, I'll probably end up using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

"You should come first. The remaining power of rules is yours."

"If we really do that, I don't think there will be much left. The expansion plan has to be suspended..." Hansel muttered in frustration.

"Four of us going together?"

"All four together." Lu Li nodded and looked at Pan Xiaoxiao:

"Are you okay? The side effects should be over soon..."

Pan Xiaoxiao, who had almost returned to normal, felt her blood rushing to her head again when she heard this.

Fortunately, the pig mask blocked the view and Lu Li didn't see any clues.

Seeing Pan Xiaoxiao nodded tremblingly, Lu Li confirmed with Hansel:

"let's start."

"Give me higher-level permissions." Hansel closed his eyes and began to mobilize the invisible forces in the secret realm:

"Player's name."

"Gao Yuzhi."
