Chapter 31: Laplace's Lens
Nine o'clock in the morning, Thousand Eyes headquarters.
Led by Judy, who was the maid at the Thousand Eyes storefront where Shiroyasha resided.
Su Nian, who had been forced by Black Rabbit to change into a form-fitting suit, also arrived here.
Not long after, Su Nian reached the reception room; after waiting for a while, a muddled voice mixed with morning grumpiness came from inside.
"Let him in. Goodness, to come so early—he doesn't even know how to be considerate of me and let me sleep a little longer."
Judy stepped aside, pulled open the sliding door, and made a gesture of invitation.
"Please, come in."
"Boss Shiroyasha, it's not exactly early anymore, is it?"
Su Nian stepped into the reception room and saw Shiroyasha still lying on the bed, wearing panda pajamas.
He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice before speaking.
"Besides, the auction is supposed to start officially at ten, right?"
"Huh? Seriously? Judy, why didn't you tell me?"
Shiroyasha looked at the Thousand Eyes maid, Judy, with an expression of disbelief, though one could vaguely tell from her shifty eyes.
Shiroyasha had likely truly forgotten that she was supposed to host the auction.
"My apologies, Lady Shiroyasha. I will reflect on this."
Judy bowed slightly to show she knew she was wrong, though she felt a bit helpless.
But what could she do? She was merely a maid sent by the higher-ups to keep an eye on Shiroyasha.
"Forget it. You go out first and prepare breakfast for me."
Shiroyasha said quite "magnanimously"; she had gone to show off her cards with others yesterday and had accidentally drunk too much.
Even now, her head still felt a bit dizzy.
Shiroyasha rubbed her eyes and looked at Su Nian with her eyes half-open and half-closed.
"Come here for a second."
Su Nian was a bit confused, not knowing why Shiroyasha had suddenly called him over.
However, he still walked over, sat on the edge of Shiroyasha's bed, and sniffed.
"Such a strong smell of alcohol~~~"
A pungent scent of alcohol rushed straight into Su Nian's nasal cavity, making him subconsciously fan the air in front of him, which made him feel a bit more comfortable.
"Boss, how much did you drink last night?"
"You kid, you really brought me glory."
Shiroyasha patted Su Nian's shoulder with satisfaction; yesterday was truly the most enjoyable day she had ever spent in Little Garden.
Especially when she saw the expressions of jealousy twisted on the faces of Indra, the Halloween Queen, Athena, Zeus... and the other gods.
That feeling was just too good.
Especially that little bitch, the Halloween Queen, who had snatched six of her Sun Authority—the look of jealousy on her face was enough to make her teeth shatter.
One had to know that the Halloween Queen was famous in Little Garden for cultivating heroes, and the Knights in her Avalon were even more adept at being heroes among the Four-digit level.
They were all cultivated and collected by her own hand.
Why did she waste countless energy and resources to cultivate these heroes? Wasn't it just to bring glory to herself?
Moreover, the struggles of interest exchange between the higher-ups were often carried out through Gift Games between proxies.
The status of an excellent Four-digit hero was no lower than that of a Three-digit God King in most God Groups.
Relying on those heroes, the Halloween Queen had been doing quite well in the lower levels.
Only the shameless Greek God Group, where most Main Gods were stuck at the Four-Digit Exceptional level, could hold the Halloween Queen down.
But now, you tell her that the SSR-level hero she had painstakingly selected and cultivated...
... turned out to be a UR-level Savior that Shiroyasha had picked up just by going out? He had even overcome Humanity's Final Trial once and possessed a Boundary-type Spirit Status?
Who wouldn't be jealous of that? As a price, Shiroyasha was forcibly held down and fed a lot of Divine Wine.
It's just that she didn't know why she felt sore all over now, as if she had gotten into a fight with someone.
Well, to be precise, she had been beaten up by those guys who were green with envy.
To get Shiroyasha drunk, they even brought out their own collections: the Divine Wine personally brewed by Soma, the Jade Nectar from the Dongfang side...
However, the constitution of a Star Spirit was truly heaven-defying; after drinking so much Divine Wine...
Shiroyasha had sobered up in just one night.
"Ahem, don't worry about those details. Today, your boss here will take you out to see the world!!!"
Shiroyasha acted as if she hadn't heard Su Nian at all, let out a hiccup from the alcohol, and said.
Afterward, Shiroyasha widened her eyes, looked at Su Nian, stroked her own chin, pondered for a moment, and then reached out her hand to touch Su Nian.
"I feel like this outfit of yours is lacking something."
"The design is good, but this material is too poor."
As she spoke, Shiroyasha clapped her hands, and a well-tailored black butler suit appeared in her hands.
"Put it on."
"Here?"
Su Nian's mouth twitched as he looked around at the surroundings.
This was Shiroyasha's boudoir, wasn't it?
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Su Nian asked with some concern; it wasn't that he didn't dare to change, but he was afraid that Shiroyasha would be unable to resist teaching him a lesson once she sobered up.
The main thing was that Shiroyasha still felt like she was drunk; it seemed she hadn't fully sobered up yet?
"Honestly, I didn't even care, what are you worrying about?"
Shiroyasha retorted speechlessly; why was a grown man suddenly acting so pretentious here?
Was he being pretentious? He was just considering his own personal safety, alright.
Then Shiroyasha clapped her hands again, and the next moment, before even Su Nian could react, the clothes on his body had already turned into a butler's uniform.
"Alright, now you look much more presentable."
Shiroyasha clapped her hands in satisfaction, but as she looked at Su Nian, she felt something was still missing.
"Right, you're still missing an accessory on your face."
Saying this, Shiroyasha took out a gold-rimmed monocle and put it on Su Nian.
【Gift: Laplace Lens
Created by the omniscient Devil Laplace, it can identify the vast majority of Gifts, contains information made public by Thousand Eyes, and possesses a certain level of information analysis capability.】
After all, Su Nian had only arrived in Little Garden a few days ago, and he was about to go to the Thousand Eyes auction.
Not having enough knowledge would be quite an awkward situation.
For this reason, Shiroyasha had made some preparations and asked the Laplace Devil for an omniscient lens.
It was to make up for Su Nian's lack of knowledge, though the upper limit of this item was only being able to identify Five-digit Gifts.
Or Gifts whose information had already been made public.
Gifts of Four-digit level and above already possess, to a certain extent, the ability of a Divine Object to conceal itself.
However, even though it can only identify Five-digit level Gifts, this is already a quite precious and rare Gift.
And more importantly, this thing can also be useful when going to the outside world.
"Alright, now there's no need to worry about you embarrassing me at the auction."
"Mm, thank you, Boss."
Su Nian did not say much more; he just silently kept this in his heart.
