Chapter 398: Chapter 347: Speculation and Connection (Double-Length Chapter)

Just in the instant when that thin thread of spiritual power established a connection with the entrance to his inner space...

Buzz!

A strange feeling of resonance came, and Jeming felt his spirit suddenly lighten, as if he had broken through a heavy membrane. A familiar and intimate aura enveloped his probing tiny spiritual intent.

It’s in!

Although he could only infuse an extremely weak thread, this thread of spirit became noticeably more lively and agile the moment it entered his inner space!

No longer like outside, dancing with heavy shackles.

"Indeed... My inner space has developed into a nascent plane, with an independent rule base, capable of offsetting the suppression of the external plane to some extent!" Jeming realized in his heart.

Unfortunately, the total amount of spiritual power he could probe was too little, and the amplification brought by this "liberation" only made him more agile in controlling this thread of spiritual intent, far from breaking the external shackles.

He didn’t delay a moment, driven by the intent to explore straight towards the autonomous factory in the core area of the space.

Inside the factory, various precision instruments continued to operate in a methodical, low humming manner.

Jeming’s "gaze" first locked onto the countdown timer on the main control panel, where numbers kept flashing.

The clear numbers appeared in his "eyes".

Six years, four months, seventeen days, eight hours, thirty-two minutes...

Jeming’s heart first sank heavily, then he sighed a long breath of relief.

Over six years!

From when he fell into this plane until now, over six years have passed in the outside world!

The ten-year deadline given by the commander of the second wave expeditionary army has already passed for most part!

The sense of urgency surged like cold tides, but was quickly suppressed by the feeling of relief.

Thankfully, not all the time has been used!

There’s still nearly four years left.

Although it’s not ample, at least it gives him the opportunity to struggle and break through, not immediately facing the worst scenario.

His intent swept through the distant Black Giant Legion standing silently like black mountains, and the patrol units roaming like ghosts at the edge of the space barrier.

They were stable, energy-filled, quietly waiting for the master’s summon. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Jeming attempted to maneuver this thread of spiritual power, wanting to send a small reconnaissance-type talisman witchcraft artifact outside.

Yet, when the intent moved, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.

The artifact was firmly stopped by an invisible, powerful force at the entrance to the space, unable to penetrate.

"Indeed, it won’t work..." Jeming wasn’t too disappointed.

The outside world’s suppression of extraordinary power is comprehensive, clearly including a blockage on the spatial level.

Plus, his main body’s spiritual power is severely restricted, like a weak person trying to drag out weapons from a tightly locked warehouse door, unable to do so.

Hoping to break through directly relying on his inner space’s reserves currently seems dim.

"However, confirming the time is already the biggest gain!"

His intent turned again towards the information terminal set up within the space.

The terminal launched smoothly, the light screen brightened, but displayed glaring red warnings—no signal connection.

"Even the information flow can be completely intercepted... this plane’s enclosed nature is more thorough than imagined." Jeming felt a chill in his heart.

This means attempting to transmit information through the inner space to the outside world is almost impossible.

Collecting his thoughts, Jeming slowly withdrew the thread of spirit he had probed.

Consciousness returned to the main body, a strong sense of fatigue flooded like tides.

After resting, Jeming made up his mind, the plan must accelerate!

In the subsequent days, Jeming’s state at school underwent a subtle change.

He no longer just passively received classroom knowledge, but actively and purposefully utilized every available time, eagerly learning all kinds of knowledge systems of this world.

From basic sciences to social humanities, he tried to understand more deeply the operating rules of this "stage".

Simultaneously, he also inadvertently started inquiring Amy about more things related to her aunt Viola.

Such as her work habits, places she often visits, recent travel plans, etc.

This abnormal focus made Amy vigilant, she looked at Jeming with concern, earnestly persuading him: "Jeming, you... you wouldn’t really have some ideas about my aunt, would you?"

"Take my advice, don’t! Her character, getting close will lead to misfortune! You are the school bully, with infinite prospects, don’t be blinded by beauty!"

Jeming could only respond vaguely, both amused and helpless. Fortunately, although Amy was worried, under his subtle guidance, she still revealed a key piece of information:

Viola seems to be attending the South District’s ’Clean Beach’ environmental volunteer activity in a dozen days.

"Clean Beach" volunteer activity... Jeming silently began to recall, "It’s quite a good opportunity."

This volunteer activity wasn’t quite unfamiliar to him, as recent days had been broadcasting related news on television.
