Despite Lex's nurous concerns, the festival did not devolve into complete chaos with the inclusion of the various maniacal guests. Though Lex did quickly learn that cultivators capacity for partying was much longer and harder than ordinary folk - sothing he should have expected.
The fact that Lex now had a selection of various drinks due to the addition of the Midnight tavern did not do anything to calm the situation down either. Though Lex was raking in MP, so what was the harm?
Around the night of the second day, the Mystery trial finally finished updating. The process was marked by an unusual phenonon of golden light shining down from the heavens, right onto the door. Although that was not sothing Lex had planned, everyone assud that it was a part of the festival.
The Mystery trial could now accommodate more than one guest at a ti, which greatly increased the number of people who could have access to it. Previously, only on average 10 to 11 people could use it during the day due to which, while it was almost always in use, its contribution to the MP inco was minimal.
The only other change it underwent was an enhancent on its already existing ability to train peoples best skill. It was sothing Lex himself had never tried yet, and that made him wonder what his best skill was. He would think about trying it himself once the pressure from his impending breakthrough went down.
Besides the Mystery trial, another thing that attracted a lot of attention was the Guest Registry. Although Lex had claid that he would ignore it till he felt better, he was taking everything much more seriously now. As such, while he did not create a separate area for it and left it at the Midnight manor, he spread information about it among his guests via the workers and holograms.
There was just one minor issue that he had not anticipated. Despite thousands of guests already signing it, his na was still on top. Lex had, of course, anticipated the exposure his na would get due to him already signing it, but it never occurred to him that his na might remain on top. After all, while he had quite a few accomplishnts under his belt, he was rely 24 years old. With guests who lived well into the thousands of years, as well as cultivators from across the realms, he did not think his achievents would hold any asure.
Unfortunately, no matter who else signed, his na remained firmly on top. It had begun attracting attention, and over the next few days, the identity and achievents of this so-called 'Lex Williams' was called into question. Of course, no one dared to question the Inn. But amongst themselves, they wondered.
Even Marlo, who had signed it, and was currently in the top 10, wondered if this was the sa Lex as the one he knew. It seed unlikely. After all, despite his many other achievents, the only reason Marlo was in the top 10 was because of him achieving a status as a Pri. He had embarked on a new cultivation journey, different from one anyone else he knew had ever faced.
To give a better idea of how great an achievent this was, Brandon Morrison, Alexander's grandfather, and the person who brought the Morrison family to its current height, was not even in the top 10,000 signatories! He literally owned the planet of Mars, yet that achievent could not even get him close to the top.
Lex could not help but think that establishing the Midnight Inn was being counted as his achievent and keeping him on top. If that was the case, he could not see anyone replacing his na any ti soon. This… could have so problems.
Besides that, on the 6th day, the battle between Larry and Suzuki finally ended. Larry's condition was… far from ideal. He was missing his left arm, though he still wasn't bleeding. He didn't even go to the Recovery pod, and instead began chomping down on a few tallic items.
This wasn't the first ti Lex had seen this peculiarity, to be honest. The first ti was when Lex left Larry a golden key, and only a short while later, he suffered from an assassination attempt. Back then, under the guidance of the system, Lex had fed Larry the tal casings of his bullet from the Heavy Harley, since that was the only precious tal he had at the ti.
The scope of this ability really bewildered Lex. The craziest thing was that Lex could confirm that Larry was still a human despite his… oddities. He sincerely wondered if he could get the sa ability. Not that Lex was weak by any asure, but healing was a persistent issue with him.
While for the mont he had the Lotus to help him in that regard, he did not want to rely on soone else forever.
But that would all co later. As the days passed, Lex's attention was increasingly on the 7th and most important day, at least for himself. He had even made regular appearances as Leo during this ti to make sure people see him, but as the end of the first week approached, he stopped doing everything else and focused only on this.
He inford all the security to be extra cautious, and even summoned over 50,000 additional security personnel, only this ti they were mortals. This was in case everyone else was forced into a state of breakthrough in their cultivation.The Griffin assured him that it would be fine, but Lex didn't want to take a chance.
After all, during the last week, the number of guests at the Inn had surpassed 20 million! That wasn't even the greatest issue. The most common guest at the Inn was no longer human. Instead, they were Devils. 13 million Devils were inhabiting the Inn at the mont, and it was extrely nerve wracking to know for over 1 million of them, Lex did not have the authority to see their cultivation!
"Everything is going to be just fine," Lex told himself on the dawn of the 7th day.
