Chapter 497: A favorTranslated by: La0o9

Proofreader:  Arya

Once they finished eating the grilled wild boar meat, the three sat on the grass outside to rest.

Barry was happily drinking some booze.

Of course, it was Gu Qing Shan who provided it.

Not only did Gu Qing Shan bring the Pixie Crystal Flower, cook them a wonderfully luxurious dinner, he even made some grilled ribs so good that Chef Cheng wanted to clear his debt for it.

And now, he even had cold booze ready.

If Gu Qing Shan was a woman, Barry wouldn’t even hesitate to try and court him.

“Take a look”

Kitty pointed at some faint figures quickly traversing through the air and told Gu Qing Shan to look.

“What are those?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Maybe they are travelers who happened to pass by, maybe they are bro’s mortal enemies waiting for him outside”

“They can’t get in?”

“They can’t”

“But I came in just fine”

“The Spire Keeper Association is on our side, so we trust them” Kitty said: “If I don’t want someone to come in, no matter who it is, they won’t make it into our world”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Then what if someone fooled the Spire Keeper Association to infiltrate?”

Kitty shook her hand: “I hold this world’s beacon authority, so I can kick someone out as easily as I let them in”

Gu Qing Shan now understood.

He was silently thinking about the matter of the Bramble Birds and finally made a decision.

“Ah, I actually have a favor to ask of the two of you” Gu Qing Shan very sincerely spoke.

Barry and Kitty both looked over to him.

“You have a favor to ask of me?” Barry asked.

“Yes” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Barry put the bottle of booze down and pounded his chest with one hand: “Say it, helping others is my justice, so as long as it isn’t something bad, I’ll help you out once”

This young man isn’t an evil person so helping him once isn’t that big of a deal.

Kitty, on the other hand, scowled a bit.

She was worried.

Bro doesn’t consider the consequences when doing things, once he agrees to help someone, he’ll always try his best to do it.

But his body still hasn’t fully healed yet.

If by chance, Gu Qing Shan’s request is too tough and Barry has to risk his life for it, it’ll be hard to tell the results.

Afterall, many of Barry’s enemies completely went into hiding to wait for him to show up.

At this time, the brother-sister duo approached Gu Qing Shan’s request with very different attitudes.

Gu Qing Shan told them: “I want to answer the call of the Bramble Birds under this world’s name”

“Under this world’s name?” Barry didn’t quite understand.

Kitty’s scowl loosened.

“Ah so that’s what it was. Bro, he belongs to a Scattered world, so he’s not qualified to answer the call of the Bramble Birds” she explained.

Barry now realized: “Oh I thought you wanted to take revenge or fight or something, if it’s something that simple, of course there’s no problem”

He also relaxed.

“Bro, there’s a small problem” Kitty said.

“What’s the problem?”

“If he answers the call of the Bramble Birds as a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club, once he returns, the debtors will take him away and make him do labor work for them to pay for our debt”

“I’ll protect him” Barry waved his clenched fist.

“But we really do owe them a lot of money. We won’t be in the right if we beat them” Kitty whispered.

“Ah, that’s right, they’re our debtors, beating them up won’t be a fight for justice” Barry scratched his head, troubled.

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “There’s no need to think too hard about it, I’ve got a solution”

“What solution?” Kitty asked.

“Doesn’t the Bramble Birds give out treasures to those who help it? Are its treasures precious?”

Barry and Kitty exchanged glances and nodded.

“The Bramble Birds are a mystical creature of the Mystic Zones. Do you know what a Mystic Zone is?” Barry picked up the booze again as he asked.

“I don’t”

Kitty patiently explained: “The 900 million World Layers are divided into the Fallen Zones, Super Dimensional Zones, Strife Zones and Mystic Zones”

“The Mystic Zones are the areas closest to the innermost area of the Outer Plane, any item from those areas are obscenely valuable outside”

“And since the natural habitat of the Bramble Birds is within those areas, they very frequently come across and collect all sorts of rare treasures among rare treasures”

Gu Qing Shan smiled.

“Perfect, then if I managed to return alive, I’ll use the treasure received from the Bramble Bird to pay for your debt”

Gu Qing Shan added: “Since you’re letting me be a member of the club, I should do something for the club as well, isn’t that right?”

Barry was shocked at first, but started laughing: “Ahahaha, that is perfect! That really is the perfect solution!”

The club gets a savior who’s willing to help them absolve the debt as a new member, not to mention he’s someone they got along with so well, it really couldn’t be more perfect.

Kitty also patted him on the shoulder: “If you can really do it, you’ll naturally get a place in our club”

From what they saw before, Xiao Die really had matured.

The fact that this person was entrusted with the Pixie Crystal Flower by her, and that he really did deliver it across trillions of world speaks volume.

Not to mention he’s such a good cook.

Come to think of it, he said this was his first time travelling so far away from home.

…alright.

Let’s make him a club member now and not let anyone else get a chance to steal him away.

Kitty quickly decided, took out a couple of steel shovels out of nowhere and threw them to Barry and Gu Qing Shan respectively.

“We’re going to dig something up” she stood up and said.

…

“How much longer do we have to dig?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Not sure, but should be soon” Barry dug a bit deeper without breaking a single sweat.

Gu Qing Shan looked to Kitty.

They’ve been digging for 2 hours already.

Kitty spoke embarrassed: “At the time, we owed so much money and bro’s wounds still hadn’t gotten any better, so for the sake of safety, we buried this world’s beacon”

“So just hurry up and dig it back up, if we don’t dig it up quickly, you might not make it to the Bramble Birds in time”

Gu Qing Shan sighed, said nothing else and continued to dig.

The beacon can connect to the core Laws of a Super Dimensional world, so it can be considered the ‘deed’ of a Super Dimensional world, its central control unit.

Once a person was registered in the beacon of a certain Super Dimensional world, they could connect to that particular Super Dimensional world at any time.

As long as they paid a certain price, they could return to that Super Dimensional world at a moment’s notice from any other of the other trillion worlds.

The reason why Gu Qing Shan was trying so hard was to receive permission to warp-travel this way.

Time slowly passed by.

After Gu Qing Shan and Barry dug for a while more hours, they finally reached where the beacon was hidden.

It was a pair of iron boxing gloves.

Kitty had to wash it several times for the boxing gloves to regain its metallic shine.

“Ever since I got wounded, I haven’t touched these boxing gloves”

Barry sighed emotionally as he looked at the boxing gloves.

“Bro, you’re already getting better now”

Kitty held his hand and encouraged him.

Barry smiled.

He wore the boxing gloves and started connecting to this Super Dimensional world.

A few moments later.

He told Gu Qing Shan: “Give me a strand of your hair”

Gu Qing Shan pulled out one strand of hair and handed it to him.

Barry placed the strand of hair into the palm of the glove.

Very quickly, the hair disappeared.

“The club has recorded your unique signature” Kitty happily declared.

This meant that the Justice Iron Fist Club finally had a new member after such a long time.

Even if he’s still very weak.

And he carries a heavy debt on his back.

But he’s a good person.

To repay the debt of the club, he’ll leave in search of treasures.

Barry’s wound is also recovering.

Things are finally getting better, so the future would be full of things to look forward to.

Thinking that, Kitty’s lips slowly curled into a smile.

Then, Barry opened his hand, grabbing something invisible from the void of space.

“Kitty, now!”

He gave that thing to Kitty.

Kitty took the invisible thing and chanted a mysterious incantation.

Something began to manifest.

She then handed that thing to Gu Qing Shan.

As he took a look, Gu Qing Shan found that it was a thin string.

The hair flickered briefly before disappearing from his hand and went away without a trace.

“We used your hair to create a Void String, creating a connection to this world’s beacon and grant you permission to enter this world” Barry explained.

Kitty solemnly told him: “I’ve infused that strand of hair with my spatial Law powers, the power inside is enough for you to return here once”

“How should I do that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“If you chant ‘Justice Iron Fist Club’, you’ll be able to sense the void string’s existence”

Gu Qing Shan tried and found that was indeed the case.

“What’s next?”

“Pull the void string, about half an hour later, it’ll lead you back here”

“Half an hour?”

“Well, not exactly, if the distance is too great it might take a bit longer”

Kitty continued: “The next time you return here with that, come find me and I’ll infuse spatial powers into it once again for you”

“I got it, thank you” Gu Qing Shan said.

He sincerely exhaled out of relief inside.

From this moment onwards, he had been officially recognized by a Super Dimensional world.

Barry smiled: “From now on, you’re a member of our Super Dimensional world, I’ll sign up for you now”

He blew a whistle at the void of space.

A few moments later, a huge bird flew in from the space vortex.

The bird circled around Barry once before landing.

Gu Qing Shan noticed that the bird was wearing a crest on his chest.

The crest depicted a flying bird.

“Tsk tsk tsk, Barry, it seems you’ve gotten better now, great for you, but you still owe me quite a bit” the big bird looked at Barry and commented.

“Me getting better means I can pay you back sooner or later, doesn’t I?”

“That’s true, you finally don’t have to be a fraud anymore, how great”

“Stop with the chit-chat, help me contact the Spire Keeper Association, I need a ship to take someone to the Bramble Bird’s place”
