The ancient garden exudes a new brilliance, and the old and decaying floor tiles are replaced with new white bricks.
Although the masonry is fragile, simple, and far from the historical and artistic sense of the past, it is full of simple style and pragmatism that young people love.
The arena, which is like a relic of civilization, has also suddenly been transformed into a modern and simple style similar to the Chaser Stadium.
Even the three-story church, the only high-rise building in the secret realm, has been turned into a modern-style hotel building.
And this scene may be the source of the unhappiness on the face of the big cat in front of him.
"...I really didn't expect that it would turn out like this. Can't you blame me?"
"snort."
The big cat didn't say anything, but his frustration couldn't be concealed.
Even though she had known that this moment would happen sooner or later, when it actually came, when hundreds of years of accumulation became someone else's starting point, she still couldn't bear it.
She took a deep breath and her face became calm again.
"Come on, we may get along for a long time in the future. Let me, as the manager, introduce you to this secret realm, your 'life bank'."
She was too calm, without any reluctance on her face, which made Lu Ping'an a little uneasy.
"...You looked away?"
"Oh, maybe in the future, but definitely not now. Now, I am just fulfilling my 'responsibilities' as the local secret realm manager. My respected master..."
The deliberately prolonged voice was filled with unabashed hatred and self-deprecation. Only at this moment did Lu Ping'an relax.
Maybe Chris will finally see the reality clearly and talk about it one day, but it's definitely not now.
"Originally, my world was a super large secret realm, a complete world, a super doomsday ark."
Walking on the road, even if she deliberately kept calm, her arms were still shaking.
But as a "subordinate" to this world, she must fulfill her service obligations.
"The current Life Bank has only two parts left, the original Church of the Mother Goddess, the current bank building, the original Colosseum, and the current Arena..."
Life Bank is Lu Ping'an's superpower, but it is not just his personal thing.
This secret realm, this small world, is the real life bank!
"Life Bank" is not something that newcomers can have, because to achieve that level of "custom rules", there must be a "world" as the cornerstone.
From another perspective, only by having your own world can you set your own rules in the world and spread them to the outside world.
To put it simply, this small world is the body and hardware of Life Bank. Lupingan is actually just the owner and user of the bank.
Since Lu Pingan was not able to control this small world at that time (his rank was too low), the bank directly extracted the spirit body of Chrissy (quasi-god) and turned her into the manager of the small world.
To put it nicely, she is the acting president of the bank; to put it more unpleasantly, it is the management software (AI) that comes with its own operating system.
Before, Lu Ping'an didn't understand her abilities and fully activated the life bank. She could also jump left and right to do some tricks.
Now that the entire system is running, as a "management AI", she must obey the orders within the authority of Lupin Bank and serve the prosperity and evolution of Life Bank.
Just like your voice navigation system has self-awareness, it can only guide you honestly under the restrictions of rules, usually cursing.
Secret Life Bank, Taling Keldalesi, owner Lu Pingping, is a trinity in a sense, and the absence of any one component will cause the whole to collapse.
But looking at it from another perspective, it is also a relationship of mutual loss and prosperity. The evolution of Lu Ping An and Life Bank has just begun, and this struggle does not end here...
"This is the bank lobby and the place where business is handled. But if I guess correctly, you won't open this secret realm to the outside world in the short term. In that case, this place will just be a decoration."
The small office hall of the building is completely different from the bank office in Lu Ping'an's memory.
The overall decoration style is classic and warm. In the center of the hall are sofas and classical furniture from the last century, and melodious jazz music echoes in the hall.
The whole style is similar to a slightly upscale historical hotel.
There is no counter separated by glass, just a service desk like a hotel front desk, and a large wine cabinet.
Keeping a certain distance between people, not too noisy and not too lonely, this environment makes Lupingan feel very comfortable.
Of course, there is no one behind the front desk now... In a short period of time, no second life will enter the entire secret realm.
"By the way, isn't it possible for the secret realm to set its own rules? Just like your original "life for strength, the winner survives" and the "no death" of the forest secret realm, can I make my own rules in this secret realm?"
"First of all, you can't do it now, and secondly, the rules were already set when the bank was born."
As she said that, Chris's expression was a little strange, and she glanced out the window.
It is the only building in the local area, a colosseum that was originally used for duels and sublimation of life.
"In this secret realm, only transactions are allowed, and no force can be used (except for gladiatorial events in the gymnasium)."
Isn’t this completely opposite to the rules of Kris-chan’s secret realm?
This time, even Lu Ping'an's expression was very subtle. He felt that there was something really going on. How could he target the poor big cat like this!
"...Okay, dear master, what do you want? Come and show off your victory to the poor loser Keldales? Well, you have finished reading, there is nothing here, show off
Finished, please go back."
Looking at the resentful "manager", Lu Ping'an felt helpless.
At this time, both parties are in the same boat and have needs for each other, and he does not want to stimulate the other party for no reason.
"If I said, I just came to take a look, would you believe it..."
Chrissy looked at him calmly without saying a word.
"...Okay, let me tell you the truth. I have used up all the credit points from Lin Nu Church. The demonized seeds and gardener set have just been delivered. I am here to plant some land. Can you help me find it?"
A piece of land? Best, help me cultivate it and take care of it. You are a veteran of the life system, so you should know a little bit..."
With that said, Lu Pingan picked up the full sack.
Instantly, the atmosphere became solidified.
But this logic is not wrong. Lu Ping'an's planting of magic plants is equal to the improvement of his gardener's rank, equal to the overall evolution of the life bank, equal to the trinity's shared benefits, equal to the management AI that should serve him.
Poor Chris, in the end, could only sigh realistically, and then raised his head helplessly.
Covering his smooth forehead, closing his eyes, he squeezed out a word through his teeth.
"have!"
Lu Pingan never thought that one day, he would be able to hear such complex emotions from one word.
Anger, unwillingness, frustration, helplessness and resignation... It's like "Life is too hard, marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog, close your eyes and just pretend to be bitten by a dog."
