Chapter 180 – Unknown Hacker Removed Florida Man's Information from Police Department after the Latter Confessed He Imported "Virginity" Restoration Meds from Outer Space
"Hm, hm, hm."
Leo hummed after he teleported out from the locker room. He reappeared in front of the Fate Stadium, standing at the back of the ticket booth queue again.
He didn't want to go back anytime soon. He had too much fun in this stadium as he could farm more lifespan from the gambling house.
When Leo reappeared, a few Xeno creatures glanced at him as they recognized him from the previous fight. The majority of the crowd was still oblivious to his fame, though.
This time, no one mocked or tried to get into trouble with Leo. He managed to reach the front counter.
The same six-breast lamia looked up and nodded at Leo for returning.
"Welcome back, Florida Man. I guess an explanation is in order."
As the lamia knew that he was new, the lamia explained the rules of this stadium.
"As you're experiencing it now – After you finish your businesses in your locker room, the system will teleport you here if you haven't reserved a residential ticket yet. Also, there are five types of tickets you need to know."
The Fate Stadium operated similarly to the sports stadium on Earth as guests could purchase a ticket to enter the stadium to watch the sports inside. However, there were five types of tickets that the stadium offered.
The first type was the regular one-time-use spectating ticket. Anybody could purchase it, and the customer could view the fight from the front spectator stands. The price varied, depending on where the seat was.
The second type was the seasonal pass ticket. This perk granted free access to the stadium for a year, and customers with this pass could come and go as many times as they wanted.
The first two types existed on earth. However, the others were unique. The third was called "Fighter Pass", which granted access to buildings and facilities inside the stadium, such as hotels, clubhouses, restaurants, cultivation centers, etc. This was a common pass that many fighters loved as they could live in the stadium without worrying about the outside world. All services were not free, but all fighters could enjoy a big discount.
However, this pass could only be extended by participating as a fighter in the arena at least once a month. Otherwise, the pass would be expired.
The fourth pass was called the "Veteran Fighter Pass". Only regular fighters who had fought in this arena at least 10 times could purchase it. This pass had no expiry date, and the pass holders could live inside the stadium as long as they could. However, this pass did not include other service fees of other facilities.
The last one, "Crystal Bearer Pass", could only be obtained by verifying their fate crystals to any stadium representative. However, the crystal's quality had to be at least Entity Fate Crystal. Inferior crystals were not enough to qualify for this pass.
The perk of this so-called VIP Pass was the treatment and the free services of the stadium's employees. They could take shelter there permanently, invest in real estate inside the stadium, and take part in various exclusive events. All food and facility services were free. In addition, the stadium permitted VIPs to build their system structures in their purchased properties, such as teleportation devices, farms, and others.
After the lamia finished explaining, she gave Leo a meaningful look. She directly asked him.
"Sir, by chance, are you in possession of any Entity Fate Crystal? If you do, you can verify your ownership with me, and we will issue you the Crystal Bearer Pass."
Leo frowned as he had a bad feeling about this. His cancer instinct cried that the stadium's people were up to no good, and he shouldn't disclose the sensitive information yet.
"No. I don't," Leo lied.
"I see. So you have a heavenly fate crystal then?"
"Something like that."
"Alright, sir. Which type of ticket would you like to purchase? A regular ticket, season pass, or the fighter pass?"
"How much for the fighter pass?"
The lamia widely grinned, "10,000 Years of lifespan, sir."
Leo was taken aback. He thought that the clerk would ask for essence stones or spirit stones like other cultivators.
"You take lifespan? Can I pay with essence stones?"
"We only take lifespan, sir. But if you don't wish to pay with lifespan, I suggest you purchase a regular ticket. It only costs 10 essence stones for the common seat. The VIP lounge is 10,000 essence stones per hour."
The corners of Leo's mouth twitched. This place was quite expensive. Still, Leo decided to pay 10,000 YOL for the fighter pass as he wished to return here regularly to advertise his store.
Confirming the purchase, the lamia summoned a system screen in front of Leo. She, too, could view his lifespan and detail.
.
Name: Leo [Redacted]
Title/Alias: Florida Man
Race: [Redacted]
Age: [Redacted]
Gender: Male
Level / Cultivation Base: [Redacted]
Remaining Lifespan: 650,807 Years, 5 Months, 17 Days, 17 Hours, and 12 Minutes.
.
The lamia frowned at the same time as some of the details were censored. The latter's throat vibrated, sending telepathic messages to her superior officers and inquiring them about the weird censorship.
As for Leo, he didn't flinch or say anything. He already knew why it showed up this way, but he didn't say anything about it.
There was no need to disclose his private information, especially his true strength.
"Sir," asked the lamia. "What is your true race? Are you really a human?"
Leo smirked and teased her, "Can't you tell that I'm a Nu'Earthe."
"…Please be serious, sir."
"I'm from the same race as Overlord Xiaomao."
The lamia and the people behind Leo gave him a meaningful look when he mentioned the legendary expert. Although they both looked like humans, these people were aware that they might not be from the same home planet. After all, human cultivators were like cockroaches of the universe – They bred and multiplied everywhere in every galaxy.
Since Leo refused to disclose his information, there was nothing the lamia could do. She received the order from her superior to ignore the errors and proceed.
DING
10,000 YOL was deducted from Leo's lifespan pool. Then, the system gave him a notification message.
<The Real-Time PVP Feature has been updated.>
<You can now freely access the stadium for one month. You may extend the time limit by participating in any life-and-death fight or accept challenges from non-fate-crystal holders.>
It sounded simple. Still, this update told Leo something concerning – The Fate Stadium's owner was powerful enough to manipulate his system!
Having one's fate under the thumb of someone else was not a pleasant feeling. Leo wondered if he could break free from this restriction and interference one day. Fortunately, he already had a clue. He asked his dao avatar in his mind.
'Hey, Genes. What do you think about our system?'
Leo's dao avatar remained inside his ring, but he replied as if he had seen everything.
'Don't be concerned about something trivial. You have a superior version of entity fate crystal. No other crystal owner can manipulate your system.'
'Uh, but they are doing it right now. Look at my Real-Time PVP menu!'
'That's a common system that every fate crystal bearer has, but all systems are different. A leveling system cannot access the store system that you have. A cultivation system cannot interfere with a domain shop system. Vice versa, your store system cannot influence other system users. The power of systems comes from the fate crystals in your soul, not the universe or someone else.'
Leo felt a bit better, knowing that his privacy was secured. He bid farewell to the lamia and entered the stadium to see the facilities that the stadium had to offer.
.
.
After Leo had left, the lamia put a signboard "Taking a Break" on her counter. She turned around and changed shifts with another employee. Then, she entered a staff room to rest.
While resting in her office, she talked alone, communicating with her superior officer through voice transmission.
"So, you're saying, Florida Man has an Entity Fate Crystal, master?"
'Censorship and information redaction are the common traits of entity fate crystal's owners. They're either full-fledged entities or fated-to-be entities. The universe and heavens are on their side. We can't do anything about it.'
"Then, should we proceed as usual, master?"
'…Not now. Let him roam free for a while.'
"But, what if he grows stronger?"
'We don't know how strong he actually is. Do not provoke him until we discover his true strength. We also don't know what kind of system he has. If his system grants him something like the karmic severance ability like Overlord Xiaomao, we'll all die if we offend him.'
The lamia sensed a shiver running down her spine when she thought of a certain human overlord, who easily trampled the strongest system user "Overlord Lucky" without relying on any system power. She also thought of the cute "Cathulhus" who had similar abilities.
Fearing that Leo might have a similar ability as the Cathulhus and Overlord Xiaomao, the lamia stopped plotting against him.
'Keep monitoring him for now. Don't make any rash move, you hear?'
"Understood, master."
.
.
Leo walked inside the stadium. Aside from the observation stands and the arena, there was a city inside the whole ginormous structure.
Condominiums, skyscrapers, shopping malls, theme parks, simulation centers, and unknown facilities offer various kinds of services. Leo's eyes sparkled like a kid in an arcade as he looked around.
As a shopping mall owner, his first tourist spot was the local shopping malls. He entered a place called "Tulakom".
The mall was different from Earth. Instead of having small stores inside, it featured a massive multi-floor supermarket. All products were arranged into sections – Food, drinks, and entertainment were allocated to the front. Pills, meds, and health-related products were in the middle. As for the back, it was full of weaponry. No kitchen utility or furniture existed here.
Leo walked around and browsed the items. He was attracted to colorful pills, wondering what they were for. He picked a pink bottle and read the label.
[Aphrodisiac Pill]
"Nope."
Leo put it back. He then picked up another one.
[Succubus Hymen Restoration Pill]
"Double nope!"
Leo facepalmed. He looked up to see the aisle label.
[Female Products]
Leo double-facepalmed. He walked away from the aisle and went for another one in the pill and meds section. Then, he came across an aisle of alchemy cauldrons.
The cauldrons on the shelves were all portable, and they came in a small size. Looking at the series of cauldrons, Leo thought of his alchemy workshops.
'The cauldrons at home are all too big. I wish my system had some of these.'
Leo picked one up and looked at the price tag.
[500 Essence Stones]
It seemed cheap for Leo's standard, yet he put it back on the shelf as he didn't need it. He explored the other area next.
After checking a hundred pills and cauldrons from the medical section, Leo visited the second floor of the shopping mall to see what they had. Then, he was astonished.
The second floor was dedicated to vehicle dealerships as all products on display were spaceships!
Looking at the spaceships, Leo wondered if the one he found on Earth was for sale. He searched for the model that he wanted.
Although the real spaceship was not parked there, there was a dealership with a poster of the model. Leo rushed toward the store.
Surprisingly, the bald salesman looked like a Caucasian man on steroids, except he had a long monkey tail. He was 8 feet tall, and his bulky muscles were larger than Mister Olympia that Leo had seen. Fortunately, he didn't wear a scouter, or Leo would have called him Nappa by accident.
The white man smiled at Leo and approached him. Then, he offered to fist-bump Leo.
"What's up Nu'Earthe! What ride ya looking for?"
"…"
Hearing an N-word from a white dude here gave a different vibe from when the werewolf called him. Leo almost uttered the forbidden word, but he shut his mouth and fist-bumped the big dude.
"Hello, sir. May I ask if that thing on the poster is for sale?"
"Oh, Stellar Model 3? Ya a fan of nuclear-powered low-ride, Nu'Earthe?"
"…"
