The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

Yet upon hearing her words, Father Mar merely nodded with a forced smile.

"I will report it to the higher-ups, but I'm of no importance, so I fear it won't have any effect..."

Hearing this, Gabriel just gazed at him deeply and sighed with some regret.

"Ignorant sinner... May God forgive you..."

Watching the young girl put on her platinum hood and slowly walk away, Father Mar sneered disdainfully and spat fiercely.

"Bah! Does she really think she is an Angel?"

.............

Time flew by like a fleeting horse. Except for being woken by hunger a few times to have some feasts, Zhu Haomiao spent almost all this time in bed.

Like a hibernating snake, remaining in deep sleep for a long time, he became very insensitive to the passage of time, only knowing that his spirit and body were undergoing an exaggeratedly rapid transformation and strengthening.

And as his [Dao Heart] leveled up to LV.2, he spent nearly 20 days in the Illusion Realm before feeling fatigued. After resting for two days in the real world, he dove back into the Illusion Realm without hesitation.

Finally, one morning, Zhu Haomiao opened his eyes, feeling that most of his accumulated attributes were finally completely digested!

With a thought, the six-dimensional information from the [Book of Black] appeared before his eyes.

[God]: 3.7

[Dexterity]: 3.6

[Strength]: 3.5

[Essence]: 3.4↑(1)

[Qi]: 3.4↑(2)

[Body]: 3.5↑(1)

Clenching his fists, feeling the power within him far exceeding that of a mortal, and taking another look at the [Dragon Emblem] which had somehow turned to bronze, Zhu Haomiao stretched contentedly.

Continuing to sleep would cause half of his attribute growth to stagnate, unable to maximize benefits...

Time to get some fries at the dock... no, it's time to take some tasks from the [Yanhuang Armory]!

Getting up and taking a hot shower, looking at the handsome and refined young man in the mirror, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Although in reality, his body was still quite skinny, in the Illusion Realm it had expanded like a balloon, becoming truly robust!

And the state in the Illusion Realm would inversely affect reality, so in a sense, his current form could be considered a future state in reality.

Touching the eight-pack abs like chocolate bars, then pounding his thick chest muscles, Zhu Haomiao clenched his fists, applying force throughout his body.

As he activated them, his muscles bulged and protruded like armor, folding and shifting as if they were a suit of armor, full of both elegance and a violent beauty.

Unlike the exaggerated dimensions of professional bodybuilders, Zhu Haomiao's growth seemed influenced by the Authority of [Lust], always maintaining the most golden ratio.

Simply gazing at this perfectly shaped body, it was as if one could perceive the creator's painstaking efforts, even faintly feeling a trace of divinity.

No... It's not divinity, it's demonic nature!

Staring at the figure in the mirror, for a moment, even Zhu Haomiao himself felt a slight urge to lick the screen, taking a sharp breath.

This one's terrifying!

If not eliminated today, he will surely become a great threat in the future!

Wait, I'm this one?! Then it's fine!

After thoroughly admiring the figure in the mirror, Zhu Haomiao put on a black suit, noticing his figure seemed taller!

He seemed to have grown a few centimeters...

His face wasn't as youthful as before...

Touching his cheek, Zhu Haomiao uncertainly pursed his lips and soon dismissed this trivial matter.

With growth in the Illusion Realm, such phenomena are inevitable, nothing to be surprised about.

What's more noteworthy is the slight "side effects" produced during this decadent period.

[Gluttony]: LV.1 (66→96/100)

[Sloth]: LV.2 (0→115/200)

Being "decadent" for over 20 days, [Gluttony] was on the verge of leveling up, [Sloth]'s experience value directly skyrocketed by over half, truly growing stronger by eating and sleeping!

Zhu Haomiao faintly sensed that just these two Authorities of [Sloth] and [Gluttony] might yield greater benefits than ordinary people's hard training!

And for the same level of Original Sin, he had five more!

With a deep sigh, Zhu Haomiao donned his cloak, called for his butler, and instructed him to settle the bill and check out.

"Mr. Zhu, you are welcome to visit again. The Holiday Hotel will always be your home."

Seeing the young man off to the door, the old butler reluctantly bade farewell, as if seeing a moving gold mountain leaving him, even bringing a tear to his eye.

What a great guest!

All he did was eat and sleep, like a pig, requiring no worry at all!

The key thing is he's generous with his money, truly wishing he could stay in the hotel forever...

The other side, unaware of the old butler's yearning, Zhu Haomiao stretched under the sun, his body joints cracking loudly.

"Mmm~~"

Letting out a comfortable moan, the young man strolled forward, blending into the crowd, soon disappearing from the butler's sight.

Minutes later, following a mystic sense, Zhu Haomiao arrived at a wealthy district of the Public Leased Territory, from afar gazing at that sprawling luxurious villa, raising an intrigued smile.

Not seen for some time, that guy was thriving!

Indeed, turning dark increases strength tenfold, washing white weakens by three degrees!

As long as you set aside a bit of morality and conscience, the money is simply endless!

Observing the meticulous patrols of mercenaries, Zhu Haomiao gave up the idea of sneaking in, instead resonating from a distance using the [Book of Black]'s mysterious perception.

Buzz~

Hundreds of meters away, sitting in the study of the villa, Wilson suddenly raised his head, looking in a certain direction, his gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of space and time, seeing a vague silhouette.

"My lord..."

Ghostly murmuring from his mouth, Wilson carefully took out a long-prepared briefcase from the safe and walked straight out of the villa.

"Boss!"

The bodyguards outside instinctively wanted to follow, but Wilson stopped them.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back, you don't need to follow."

The robust, strong bodyguards exchanged glances, hesitating for a second before nodding.

"Boss, be careful."

"Hmm."

Wilson responded perfunctorily, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Walking briskly all the way to a finely crafted small park a few hundred meters away, hidden in a corner shrouded in vegetation, Wilson finally saw the mysterious figure who had summoned him.

The wicked, dark, tall silhouette reflected in his pupils swayed and writhed like twisting black flames.

Like a knight loyal to a king, Wilson half-knelt on the ground, one hand clenched in a fist on the ground, lowering his head deeply.

"My lord."

"Rise."

With a wave of his hand, the young man turned around, extending his hand calmly, while Wilson, as if sensing it, obediently placed the briefcase in the young man's hand with both hands, respectfully explaining.

"My lord, the assets you gave me last time have been liquidated into 12,500 taels of silver, plus an additional 793 British Pounds in cash, exchanged for 5,500 taels of silver, totaling 18,000 taels."
