Chapter 214 – Florida Man Implemented AI to Wax Doll. Cops Summoned Exorcists the Next Day.

"Isn't this a business opportunity? I can let those maniacs play in this building for a fee. How much should I charge them? 100 YOL per day? 500? No. Those men have a limited lifespan. I need to make it slightly cheap and give an illusion that their time is worth the opportunity."

Leo hummed while he built the Tesseract Time Chamber on the fourth floor of his store. He designated this floor as a training ground for cultivators. In the future, he would build more facilities that offered a similar service.

He also upgraded the shopping mall and other facilities to level 15. It took him a while to adjust their attribute points.

.

Tesseract Time Chamber (Level 15)

Time Dilation (5/30)

Training Facilities (2/30)

Chamber Capacity (5/30)

Chamber Size (3/30)

.

One point in time dilation increased the time chamber's effects. According to the system's description, one day in reality was one hundred days inside. Every point allocated to this attribute increased the time inside the chamber by 100 days!

Training Facilities were the accommodations inside the chamber. The quality and quantity of facilities in the chamber grew according to the level.

The Chamber Capacity was the maximum number of visitors. At the moment, five visitors could stay in the chamber simultaneously.

As for the last one, the size of the chamber was straightforward; the higher the point, the bigger the space inside the chamber.

Aside from the chamber, Leo obtained two more alchemy factories, three greenhouses, two blacksmith workshops, two alchemy workshops, and one gunsmith workshop.

Leo didn't think much. He built everything inside his shopping mall.

At level 15, Leo's shopping mall expanded underground. It created four new levels – B2, B3, B4, and B5. All floors could either be assigned as underground parking lots or warehouses for Leo's goodies.

For now, Leo made the new floors as his warehouses. As nobody in this world had a car, the parking lot was unnecessary.

"Next, robot gacha! Here I come!"

After Leo finished fixing the facilities, he rolled the personal gacha next.

DING

DING

DING

As usual, 11 animated gacha balls showed on his screen. Unfortunately, there was no fancy gold ball this time. He got 7 grey balls and 4 blue balls.

"I came here looking for copper, and I found salt…"

Leo was disappointed in his luck. He shed a tear of regret.

"Aren't earth fate crystals supposed to boost my freaking luck?! How come my luck is so terrible?!"

As if the system understood Leo's complaint, it sent him a message.

<Please note. The chance of getting a rare gacha is 5%. Super rare is 1%, and ultra rare is one in a thousand.>

"…"

In short, the gacha rate was more evil than Genshin Impact, Fate Grand Order, or Honkai: Star Rail combined. Even the cruelest game developers might have to kowtow to Leo's system for this sadistic gacha system. Leo consecutively rolling super rare and ultra-rare was already a miracle.

It was the system's way of telling Leo that the earth fate crystals worked as intended. As for his crap luck, he could only blame it on RNGesus.

Leo gave up complaining. He looked at what he got.

"!!!"

As soon as Leo saw their roles, he almost knelt and praised Jesus.

Three of the gachas came out as cashier mannequins while the other one was a warehouse manager!

"HALLELUJAH!!"

The manpower issues were solved. Leo didn't have to stay in his store all day anymore. However, there was still one remaining question; could the cashiers collect customers' lifespan in Leo's stead?

Leo summoned the four rare mannequins right away.

Four pink female mannequins appeared. Three of them came out wearing a maid outfit. As for the warehouse manager, she wore a modern suit.

As if they understood Leo's intent, the three cashiers opened their system screens and showed it to Leo.

.

Name: Cashier A

Lifespan Balance: 0

Status: Idle

.

After reading their statuses, Leo understood what they could do. Leo was relieved.

"Alright. Two of you should go and manage the supermarket section. As for you, go to the Tesseract Time Chamber. I'll write y'all the job description and how much you should collect from your customers before next day's morning."

The three maids saluted and proceeded to their assigned stations.

Leo turned his attention to the manager next.

.

Name: Warehouse Manager A

Assigned Warehouse: None

Status: Idle

Specialty: Extend the food expiry date in the assigned warehouse by 10 days. 

.

Her status was different than the default workers in the regular warehouses. She didn't seem to be a laborer but a supervisor.

"What can you do?"

The manager mannequin couldn't speak, but she opened her system menu and typed a message for Leo. She wrote her abilities.

"I can manage the shopping mall's underground warehouses. If you assign me one of the warehouses, I can manage the local workers for you. They will be able to access the shopping mall's warehouses with my permission."

"Oh?"

"Secondly, my specialty is related to food. I hope my work is related to food."

"You got it, girl. I trust you!"

Leo immediately assigned the mannequin as the manager of the B1 warehouse. He also gave her a job moving all consumables, fruits, vegetables, immortal grasses, and pill ingredients from all warehouses and granaries to the shopping mall.

The manager saluted and started working. She ran toward the mall's elevator and descended to the B1 floor.

After the four girls had left, Leo summoned the rest of the gacha workers. As usual, some of them were farmers or fighters. Leo assigned their jobs according to their roles and sent them away.

When everything was in order, Leo glanced at the remaining gacha ticket.

There was a guaranteed SR ticket sitting in his system inventory.

"HAHAHAHA! Show me the money! COME OUT, MY SR!"

Leo pressed the summon button and opened his arms. The system screen flashed him with a bright golden light. When the light subsided, the result was shown.

A middle-aged man carrying a broad sword behind his back came out. He wore white robes like a cultivator, but his outer cloth had a familiar emblem of the Life Sword Sect.

The screen then showed the swordsman's status.

.

Hua Taixu, the Sword Saint (Level 1)

Rarity: Super Rare

Strength: Earth Immortal

Specialties: Domain of True Sword, Dimensional Cut, Librarian

Biography: Hua Taixu was from the planet Yan Dynasty. He was a talented swordsman, who became the first immortal of the Yan Dynasty Planet. During his journey to pursue dao, Hua Taixu defeated all local lords and challenged the authority of the emperor. He suppressed and killed countless officials during his life. But after being undefeated for centuries, Hua Taixu realized his dao. He built the Life Sword Sect and spread his knowledge to the entire world, earning him the sword saint title.

After Hua Taixu ascended and became an immortal, he realized that he was a frog in a well. Alien immortals from other races defeated him one after another. Because of the consecutive losses, Hua Taixu returned to his home planet to retire. He married a local girl and gave birth to two sons. After the sons grew up, Hua Taixu challenged the immortal realm again. He discovered the sanctuary of strong fighters, "The Fate Stadium", and lived there. 30 years later, Hua Taixu was trapped and was killed by Fenrir Werewolf Deity Anuraku. His soul returned to the river of karma.

.

Leo flinched. He didn't expect to see the sword saint that Hua Jiashan and others worshiped.

After reading his biography, Leo doubted everybody knew that Hua Taixu was dead. He felt pity for them.

Still, this copy of the sword saint might be for the better. Leo also wondered how those boomers would react when they saw Hua Taixu's face.

"Let's upgrade you first. I don't want anybody to see you as a weak immortal."

Leo touched the expressionless doll of a swordsman and upgraded him to level 9, which was the highest possible level at the moment.

Hua Taixu's aura grew. His cultivation base jumped from the first immortal stage to the true immortal rank.

The doll gazed at Leo with dull eyes. His first conversation startled Leo.

"Where werewolves? Werewolves stupid. Me kill werewolves!"

"…"
