“Plop~!”

“Ouch!”

The moment Mingxi felt the sensation of a rapid descent, she began to summon.

She summoned Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, Lan Yue, Emerald Green, Black Pearl, and Bright Crystal, all five of her pet beasts with the ability of Flight.

However, even with her incredibly fast hand speed, the falling distance was simply too short. Under the acceleration of gravity, she couldn't wait for Golden Yuanbao and the others to rescue her. She smoothly plunged into a pitch-black mud pit like a torpedo.

Her mouth was filled with mud.

“Damn heavens!”

“I'll curse your ancestors.”

Dizzy and disoriented, Mingxi poked her head out of the black mud pit, spitting out muddy water with a “pfft, pfft” sound, and completely losing her composure.

But she discovered that the world was in Absolute Silence!

Not only could she not hear her own voice, but she couldn't even hear a single chirp from Golden Yuanbao and the others.

The sound of water, the sound of wind, the rustling of grass leaves.

There was nothing.

Absolute, deathly silence, a million times quieter than a school library during exam week!

“Is this the Silent Mystery Realm?”

Although she was mentally prepared, it was only when she was truly there that she realized how unnerving it was to hear nothing at all.

She wasn't the only one affected.

Golden Yuanbao and the others also fell into chaos because of this Absolute Silence.

Lan Yue wanted to land gracefully, but because she couldn't hear the wind or feedback from her landing, she hit the mountain wall with a “Duang” (silent version) sound, her cat face contorted in pain.

Golden Yuanbao also couldn't adapt to the silent environment. It instinctively discharged electricity, and a bolt of lightning “zzzzzt” flew past Bright Crystal's body, almost roasting its own elder aunt.

Black Pearl, unable to hear Mingxi's commands, paced frantically in circles, appearing and disappearing, and in its haste, even released Rainbow Bubble. Dreamy bubbles floated across the sky, but in the dead silence, they looked a bit silly.

Bright Crystal tried to comfort everyone, but its mental fluctuations were less effective in the silence, silently showing its beautiful aluminum scratching its ears and cheeks.

Emerald Green was the calmest, releasing vines to try and pull Mingxi out of the mud pit, but it pulled too tightly, and Mingxi almost rolled her eyes.

“...”

Well, everything was in disarray.

It seemed that in the future, everyone would need to spend more time in Golden Yuanbao's silent domain, to avoid being flustered when encountering opponents with similar abilities.

Mingxi climbed out of the mud pit along Emerald Green's vines, taking a deep breath to forcefully suppress her wildly beating heart.

“Zero One, Zero One, calling Zero One? Respond if you hear me!”

She said it aloud and also communicated with Guangguang in the Time Realm using her thoughts.

“...Master, I can't receive the sound of your voice when you speak outside, but I can receive your thoughts.”

Guangguang's reply let Mingxi know that her cheat was still strong.

“When you're out and about, you still need a cheat.”

This way, in complex situations, they could communicate through Guangguang.

“Master, on the bright side, since everyone can't hear anything, at least it proves that this time you didn't 'log onto the wrong server' and run off to another secret realm.”

You're right, but you really don't need to bring up the fact that she once 'logged onto the wrong server'.

Don't I have face?

(っ´;ω;`с)

“Master, there's something I forgot to tell you.”

“What?”

“Do you remember what you just threw into the Time Realm?”

Mingxi raised an eyebrow: “Judging by your 'tone', could that broken thing be a rare treasure?”

“It's not quite a rare treasure, but it's certainly a good thing.”

“We can only communicate through thoughts, so let's not play coy, what do you think?”

“Haha, it's the Essence of Sun and Moon, a super large piece! Abyss Might Lin Yu, Luo Xu Jiutian, Jin Ming Xiu Luo, Atonas, and Nan Suo Luo, who all possess superpower attributes, and even Rift Sky Valkyrie, Ling Tianzi, and Prison Breaking Life Official, can use it. Not only can it improve their attribute quality, but it also has the potential to awaken their characteristic 【Essence of Sun and Moon】.”

Mingxi's eyes widened in astonishment.

“There's such a good thing?!”

She had thought that her journey through the passage was nothing but bad luck, but there was actually such a surprise.

Actually, Guangguang was being modest.

The Essence of Sun and Moon could definitely be called a rare treasure.

It was a special substance formed by a whole planet absorbing the essence of the sun and moon over many years, neither gold, nor rain, nor stone, generally only appearing deep within a planet's core.

This also meant that to obtain the Essence of Sun and Moon, one could basically only wait for a planet to disintegrate.

So, is this thing precious or not?

“My luck is truly unparalleled beauty.”

If you were to ask Mingxi if she was willing to face those crises for the Essence of Sun and Moon?

What a joke.

It was as if she had a choice.

(ノ￣д￣)ノ

“Not bad. Later, I'll have Emerald Green purify it. With everyone's talent, it's not too much to have one 【Essence of Sun and Moon】 characteristic each, right?”

One dared to say, and the other dared to agree.

Guangguang echoed: “How can this be called too much? It's just basic operation!”

Knowing that her luck had once again been conserved, Mingxi's mood was somewhat comforted again.

After summoning Red Jade and Bright Crystal, she began to gesture with her hands while activating the power of their bond.

Before entering the secret realm, she and Golden Ingot Eight had designed a simple and practical set of sign language that everyone could remember.

Learning sign language on the spot was clearly impractical.

Even if Mingxi was confident she could learn complete and scientific sign language in just a few hours, it would be useless if Golden Yuanbao and the others couldn't learn it.

Especially a certain three.

No specific names will be mentioned here.

Those who know, know.

(＾▽＾)

All their exclusive sign language was particularly simple.

For example, a clenched fist meant preparing for battle.

Waving meant 'follow me'.

Crossing meant stop and danger.

Snapping fingers represented unleashing a big move.

Pinching the left ear meant enemies ahead, pinching the right ear meant enemies behind... and so on.

Mingxi gestured and even used a whiteboard, only then did the silently adorable Black Pearl understand her request.

To release the gentlest water ball to give her a bath.

The mud in this pit had a slight corrosive property. Although Mingxi had tough skin, she didn't like being a mud monkey that could rot at any time.

“Splash, splash...”

“Hiss!”

Because sound could not be transmitted, Black Pearl inevitably released water ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) without much care, even though it was genuinely trying its best to control it.

But attack skills are attack skills after all. Mingxi was knocked off balance by the water ball, grimacing and hissing loudly.

It was just too much.

Her mood had just brightened a little, and then it cruelly “Duang”-ed down again.

At this moment, she especially wanted to ask the damn heavens: “Why is it always me who gets hurt?”

Even Golden Yuanbao, who had the worst luck, was more content than her most of the time.

The way of balancing luck seemed to be specifically for her.

“Lighter! Fish Baby, lighter, use the minimum energy.” Mingxi could only scream frantically in her mind, trying to awaken the deep bond between her and Black Pearl.
