Chapter 551 - Chapter 549: Carry? 

Fenric was considering how to deal with Uvall.

The Hell Dimension was extremely dangerous and filled with powerful beings, while the Lord of Hell was an unfathomable existence.

Even so, Fenric was not without trump cards!

With his current strength, even ordinary demon gods were no match for him.

Not to mention that Fenric also possessed a Saitama Trial Card!

Once used, it would increase his Strength, Agility, and Physique by 99,999. Combined with Fenric's own abilities, he would become nearly unstoppable!

Even though the Saitama Trial Card only lasted for 30 minutes, that was more than enough time for Fenric to turn Hell upside down!

Of course!

This was something he had to consider carefully; it was no trivial matter.

If the plan failed, not only would the extremely valuable Saitama Trial Card be wasted, but Fenric might also lose his life in Hell...

Just as Fenric was lost in thought, Vivienne's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Shura? Shura?"

Clearly, Fenric's silence had made Vivienne think something had happened.

"Uh... I'm here."

"What happened just now? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about Uvall and got distracted for a moment."

"Oh, I only called to remind you to be careful, since there is an entrance to the Hell Dimension in a neighboring city... Also, if anything unusual happens in Hell, I hope you can lend a hand..."

"Thank you, but don't worry. If something happens, I definitely won't stand by and do nothing."

Upon hearing this, Vivienne smiled and said, "I'm relieved to hear that."

"By the way, you said earlier that you wanted to talk to me?"

"Yes!" Fenric said. "It's difficult to explain over the phone. Let's talk about it in person."

Walls had ears!

Fenric now even suspected that his neighbors might be using advanced listening devices to monitor his every word and action.

"Alright, where would you like to meet?" Vivienne asked from the other end of the phone.

Fenric replied, "Where are you? I'll come find you."

"I'm still in the same military district as before."

"Then I'll come over."

After hanging up, Fenric said to Diana, "I need to go out for a while. Stay home and look after the place."

"Okay, Brother," Diana replied obediently.

Fenric nodded, changed his clothes, and flew straight out from the balcony.

Fenric had no concerns about leaving Diana at home.

Although Diana looked like a young girl, her true identity was that of a powerful liquid-metal lifeform! Moreover, she had significantly upgraded herself using technology obtained from Genos in the One-Punch Man world, making her overall strength likely even greater than that of an ordinary A-rank Samsara!

Leaving Diana at home was perfectly safe.

…

"Boom!"

The sound of him tearing through the air echoed in his wake.

This startled many residents in the community.

But when they looked up, Fenric had already disappeared from sight...

...

Fenric's flight speed was extremely fast.

In just twenty minutes, Fenric returned to the military base.

When Fenric landed, the soldiers on high alert immediately stepped aside after recognizing Shura.

"Shura!"

Vivienne soon arrived and stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"You're too late. Yuhan was picked up by her family early this morning."

Fenric, thick-skinned as ever, did not care about Vivienne's teasing at all. "Then I'll go find her later."

"Let's talk in my office."

After bringing Fenric to her office, Vivienne personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Shura, on behalf of the government, I would like to thank you for what happened last night," Vivienne said sincerely.

She was naturally referring to the previous night's Samsara players Battle, in which Fenric had brought great honor to the nation!

"You're exaggerating." Fenric waved a hand. "Besides, Adam isn't dead. He still poses a considerable threat."

"In any case, severely injuring Adam this time has bought us a lot of time!" Vivienne said with a smile. "In the short term, Adam probably won't be able to gain access to Stage 33."

Fenric thought for a moment and asked, "Has the Cindralock Dominion made any moves?"

"Yes! This morning, a spokesperson from the Cindralock Dominion's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed a desire to establish trade relations with our country in order to ease tensions between the two nations."

At this point, Vivienne smiled and said, "Shura, you are now a national hero. Many people online admire you!"

Hearing this, Fenric felt quite pleased. Although he did not care much about fame, a sense of pride still stirred within him.

Of course, outwardly, Fenric remained very humble...

"Let's get down to business."

Fenric said, "I'm thinking of moving. Is there anywhere you would recommend?"

"Oh? Why do you suddenly want to move?" Vivienne asked in surprise.

"Because my identity may have been exposed," Fenric said truthfully. "Today, a rather suspicious person moved in next door."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Vivienne's eyes.

"Someone is watching you?" she asked. "Shura, do you need my help?"

Fenric waved a hand. "I'm not actually afraid of being targeted. I just hate having these annoying flies bother me, so I'd like to find a quieter place."

Vivienne understood what Fenric meant. After thinking for a moment, she smiled.

"Why don't you come to Jade Capital and be my neighbor? There is a vacant courtyard house next to my residence. Coincidentally, Yuhan has been staying there recently."

Fenric was well aware of the value of courtyard houses in Jade Capital.

The price of such properties was definitely measured in hundreds of millions...

With Fenric's current wealth, he definitely couldn't afford one.

Of course.

Fenric also knew that since Vivienne had mentioned it, she must already have a solution.

Still, Fenric asked, "Aren't courtyard houses in Jade Capital incredibly expensive? I can't afford one."

"As long as you move there, you won't have to pay anything!" Vivienne said with a smile. "Many places now have programs designed to attract talented people. They offer residency status and housing. And you are definitely one of the foremost talents in our country!"

Hearing this, Fenric did not refuse.

"Alright. Thank you for your help."

A hint of joy flashed in Vivienne's eyes.

Fenric becoming her neighbor was undoubtedly excellent news for the Song family and would bring them many benefits...

"How about we go take a look at your new house now?" Vivienne suggested with a smile.

"No rush," Fenric suddenly said. "There's something else. I wonder if you'd be interested."

"Oh? What is it?"

Fenric asked, "Aurora, have you ever heard of Multiplayer Instance Cards?"

"A Multiplayer Instance Card?" Vivienne frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "I've heard of Personal Instance Cards before, but this is the first time I've heard of a Multiplayer Instance Card."

"Is that so?"

Fenric's eyes flashed.

It seemed that Multiplayer Instance Cards were extremely rare in the Samsara Tower.

They might even be similar to Golden Treasure Chests, appearing only as rewards for godlike evaluations.

Vivienne continued, "Even Personal Instance Cards—I have never obtained one myself. I've only heard of others getting them. They are extremely rare in the Samsara Tower."

Fenric nodded in agreement.

Personal Instance Cards were indeed rare.

Even he, who frequently received godlike evaluations, had only obtained them twice.

Then.

Fenric stopped wasting words and took out the Multiplayer Instance Card, placing it on the table in front of him.

"Aurora, take a look before you say anything."

Vivienne picked up the Multiplayer Instance Card, and a system notification immediately appeared in her mind:

"Multiplayer Instance Card: As the name suggests, this card allows multiple players to enter an instance together! It is recommended that you invite your friends to participate. (Maximum: 10 players.) The rewards are generous and will not be divided among the participants!"

"Note: Specific information about the instance will be provided after the card is activated!"

"WARNING: This item does not belong to you and cannot be used!"

After hearing the prompt, Vivienne's pretty face filled with surprise.

"This... this is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing!"

Fenric smiled and said, "I came to see you mainly to discuss this."

"I've obtained and used Personal Instance Cards before. When a Personal Instance Card is used, it generates an instance world that only the user can enter. Generally speaking, the instances created by Personal Instance Cards are relatively simple, but the rewards are extremely generous... I just don't know what kind of instance a Multiplayer Instance Card will create."

"Shura, you mean..."

Fenric smiled and said, "I'd like to invite you and Yuhan to enter a multiplayer instance with me."

"Of course, I've never used a Multiplayer Instance Card before, so I don't know what kind of instance it will generate. It might be dangerous..."

Although Fenric said this, Vivienne was still very excited!

The system notification had just stated that the rewards would be plentiful!

With that in mind, even if there were some risks, it would still be incredibly worthwhile.

How could Vivienne fail to understand Fenric's good intentions?

Not to mention!

This invitation had been extended by Fenric himself!

Who was Fenric?

The renowned Shura Boss!!

If Shura carried them through an instance, wouldn't victory be guaranteed without them even lifting a finger?

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

In addition,

The main reason Samsaras like Vivienne often became stuck at certain Stages and hesitated to challenge higher ones was that they lacked confidence in their own strength.

The instances in the Samsara Tower became increasingly dangerous with each Stage.

If someone lacked strength or confidence, they could easily lose their life!

Vivienne urgently needed Samsara Points to increase her strength so that she could continue climbing the Samsara Tower.

Fenric offering to carry her through an instance was like rain after a long drought—like finding a pillow just as drowsiness set in!

"Shura... thank you..."

Vivienne appeared very excited, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Fenric laughed and said, "Don't be so polite. Besides, we don't even know what kind of instance it will be. If it's extremely dangerous, I might end up dragging you into trouble."

"With you leading us, I'm certain we won't fail!" Vivienne said confidently.

Who in the Samsara Tower had not heard of Shura's reputation?

His name was practically synonymous with godlike evaluations!

He was someone who could obtain godlike evaluations even in difficult instances like The Demon of the Heart and One-Punch Man.

Seeing that Vivienne had so much confidence in him, Fenric smiled helplessly before continuing.

"Since you agree, let's start tonight. However, there are only three of us right now. The system says the limit is ten people, which means we still have seven open slots. It would be a waste not to use them."

Vivienne couldn't help asking, "Shura, what do you mean?"

Fenric smiled and said, "I'm used to acting alone and don't have many friends. So I'll leave the remaining seven spots to you."

Upon hearing this, a bright glint appeared in Vivienne's beautiful eyes.

Fenric was practically handing her an enormous opportunity...

It was no exaggeration to say that if Vivienne announced right now that Shura would be carrying people through an instance tonight, the news would immediately send the Samsara Tower into an uproar!

Even if it did not cause a worldwide sensation, every Samsara in the Jadeveil Nation would at least be shaken!

Believe it or not, people would fight desperately for a single slot—chaos would erupt everywhere!

By then, the threshold of her residence would probably be worn smooth by countless visitors...

After all, this was Shura himself offering to carry people!

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!!

Within the Samsara Tower, who wouldn't want to catch a ride with Shura and let him carry them through an instance?

Unfortunately.

Shura had always acted alone and rarely brought anyone along, except for his girlfriend, whom he had taken with him twice.

Now that such a rare opportunity had appeared—one where Shura was willing to lead a team—who wouldn't cherish it?

Even the top players on the leaderboard would become restless if they heard the news!

Yet Shura had handed all seven remaining slots directly to Vivienne...

Just thinking about it...

Vivienne felt extremely excited.

There were simply too many things she could do with these seven spots.

For example, if she were greedy, she could easily sell these spots for a vast fortune!

Of course, Vivienne was not foolish enough to do something like that.

Nevertheless, she could still use this opportunity to win over many powerful allies...

How could Vivienne fail to see the enormous benefits involved?

She looked intently at Fenric, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"So, Shura, what are your requirements for the remaining seven candidates?"

"Requirements..." Fenric thought for a moment before answering, "First and foremost, they must follow orders."

"Since this is a multiplayer instance, there's a high chance that it will involve team missions. I don't want anyone causing trouble that leads to mission failure or prevents me from achieving my goals... Of course, I won't assign impossible objectives or deliberately send anyone to their death."

Vivienne nodded. "Of course! I will follow your instructions as well."

At this point, Vivienne smiled and added, "After all, your achievements are truly extraordinary. Your understanding of instance worlds has made you practically the foremost authority in the entire Samsara Tower!"

Fenric quickly replied modestly, "Aurora, you're exaggerating."

"This isn't just my opinion." Vivienne shook her head. "It's what everyone believes!"

Fenric sighed helplessly. "Alright! Let's continue... The second requirement is that they cannot be too weak. At the very least, their overall evaluation must be A-rank! They cannot hold the team back."

Vivienne nodded again.

Even if Fenric had not made this request, she would never allow someone weak to slip into the team.

After all, Vivienne understood perfectly well how dangerous it could be to have incompetent teammates.

Moreover, she and Yuhan would both be participating in this multiplayer instance.
