My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2417

Dusky took one bead from the string and placed it at the center of the venue. Suddenly, a light scanned the entire area, and the pattern on the small bead began to change.

Dusky then placed the bead on a table as it transformed into a small-scale model, perfectly mirroring the venue. With a simple motion of his hand, the scene from the actual venue was projected above the model, displayed with remarkable clarity.

Seeing this, Thresmund's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Wow! You have such an amazing treasure! This will be a big help!"

Dusky nonchalantly tossed the remaining beads at Thresmund. "This isn’t anything special. All you need to do is inject true energy into it. And remember, I didn’t invent this—it was the God of Balance."

Thresmund clutched the beads like precious gems.

"But how do we get people into this thing?"

"The activated bead will capture the true energy of those participating in the competition. There's no need to input their energy individually. As long as their true energy is present in the venue, the bead will pull them in automatically."

"Wow, that’s so advanced!"

After explaining a few more details, Dusky left. He also clearly sensed that Nash was approaching the area.

Dusky decided to observe for now. If those two did not interfere with the event, he would stay out of it too.

...

On the final day of registration for the Myriad Immortals Gathering, the number of participants reached an unprecedented 30,000. It was 7:50 pm, just ten minutes before the registration channels were set to close.

Kalo and Anox were busy organizing the forms.

"Anox, this should be all of them, right?"

"There are ten minutes left. Should we close the registration now?"

Anox, always the warmer of the two, smiled and reassured her, "It’s no problem at all. Let me check the time... Oh, it’s exactly 7:59 pm. Your registration is valid! Please make sure to arrive at the Lindejon Collective the day after tomorrow to join our event."

His enthusiasm only made the socially anxious girl more flustered. Unsure of how to respond, she hesitated.

Sensing the growing awkwardness, Kalo quickly interrupted, "Alright, Anox. Let’s go grab dinner before all that’s left are cold boxed meals."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Anox mumbled. He then glanced back to say something more. Before he could, he noticed the girl had already darted off into the distance. "She ran off pretty fast..."

Anox then pulled out the form to inspect it further. "Enid Goode... Her cultivation level is... Huh? She didn’t fill it in."

Kalo raised an eyebrow. "So, what do we do? Void her registration?"

"Nah, let’s just leave it," Anox replied casually, scribbling "Martial Artist" in the cultivation level section. "That should do. Now, let’s go eat."

With that, the brothers headed off, their minds already on their next meal.
