Mini World Of Endless Fun Awaits-Chapter 120 - Best Observation Target
Chapter 120: Chapter 120 – Best Observation Target
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After watching Old Zhao leave the room with a sullen expression, Ren Suo, without hesitation, let the nine-tailed fox open “Knight’s Wind” after leaving behind an illusory celestial sword. It then left the embassy effortlessly within seconds.
Nine-tailed Fox arrived at a hotel and randomly selected a room. When it discovered that there was no one in the room, it turned into its original form and transformed into a small nine-tailed fox, activated “Illusion” and hid in the closet.
The Immortal sword illusion was given priority by Ren Suo and the illusion will go on forever. If a figure appears within three meters, the player will immediately be notified.
Ren Suo naturally couldn’t let the nine-tailed fox stay in the embassy. God knows if those reverends might find a way to investigate the details of the nine-tailed fox.
For security reasons, leaving the sword in the room served as a ‘transmitting voucher’ to express Nine-tailed Fox’s attitude and intention to cooperate with them.
Ren Suo’s answer to Old Zhao’s question about whether the Heavenly Palace would appear in the mortal world was—not at the moment.
He directly used the setting of Spiritual Pulse to show that the resurgence of the world’s aura has not yet been completed. If any strong figures of the palace appear, they would likely destroy the world.
The Heavenly Palace will not interfere in the operation of various countries. It will only raise spiritual attention whenever necessary. For example, in the event of igniting the spirit veins. The fact that they had used the lighting of the veins as a metamorphic target for a group of small animals, showed that they barely paid any attention to it.
The reason Nine-tailed Fox could come out was because she was also a low-level member of the palace and hence, she could pass through easily with no obstructions with the current aura.
Although there was only a one-sided statement from the nine-tailed fox, Old Zhao somehow believed her and he clearly felt relieved. He hurriedly excused himself and returned to discuss the matter with the senior officials of Xuan Nation.
In fact, Ren Suo was all ready to question Old Zhao. After all, he was the one who came up with the setting of the palace, having the intention to explain the question, “Why don’t the strong appear in the palace?” Well, the answer was, “Because they are too strong for the world to handle.”
However, the setting was undoubtedly absurd, however, Old Zhao did not probe, perhaps because he felt good about Nine-tailed Fox.
Before Old Zhao left, he said that he would try to complete the negotiation with Fan Ying Nation and get them to deliver the national treasure to the little blue cat in exchange for it to ignite the spirit vein.
Hence, Ren Suo intended to fast-forward time by ten hours but…
[The game character is in a special state and cannot be fast-forwarded.]
Huh?
Ren Suo tried a few more times, but it still didn’t work. He could not even make the nine-tailed fox go back to bed. If it weren’t for the fact that Ren Suo was still rational, he would have screenshotted the image of Nine-tailed Fox lying on the bed and use it as the screensaver of his mobile phone.
Ren Suo changed the control role and found that although the pangolin was now in the same room, there were a few other pets around.
Well, the pets were pangolins.
There was also a plate of ants on the table, and the ants were stuck onto the visually-appealing plate because of syrup.
What was the Endangered Leprechaun Protection Department thinking…
Even pangolins can’t fast-forward…
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Ren Suo was dumbfounded and time was still passing in the game but… he just couldn’t fast forward.
It seemed that the game had yet to end the “special state” of the game character, so the fast forward function was temporarily turned off.
Although it wasn’t too much of a hassle, Ren Suo ticked “Auto-pause when an event occurs” in the game settings before returning to the main interface, closed the window and retracted the handle, as if he was not playing the game.
Since it was nighttime, Ren Suo headed to the canteen to have his meal.
The third floor of the canteen was extremely crowded and plenty of students decided to treat themselves to a good meal on the first day of school, thus ignoring the expensive prices.
Ren Suo was holding the dinner tray when he chanced upon Zhao Huo who was eating, after which he walked over and sat opposite him. “How is it like being a teacher?”
Upon hearing Ren Suo’s question, Zhao Huo shrugged and said with a bitter smile, “What else can I do… I took a class today to introduce the concept of aura and the current research status to a group of high school students but plenty of them had questions for me.”
“If I teach Reiki, I’m afraid I won’t be able to even answer their questions.”
Ren Suo said, “Then you have to keep learning… You cultivators should be even more powerful and capable. Can you practice Takaya?”
Zhao Huo glanced at Ren Suo and answered, “This is a confidential matter… but I don’t really use advanced practice anymore.”
“A more powerful cultivation method is no longer a simple solution. Just like spells, you’d need a magic net to teach it. If you want to learn, you have to find out if there is any solution. Well, I don’t have one anyway.”
Ren Suo scoffed and chatted with him casually before asking, “Do you know Dong Chengling?”
“Dong Chengling? Oh, her.”
Zhao Huo blinked and continued, “I do, but we’re not close. What’s the matter? Do you harbor designs toward her? Didn’t you already set your sights on a girl when you were in the civil service training?”
So that’s really her name.
Ren Suo quickly shook his head and said, “I just happen to remember her name. Don’t you think it’s a rare name?”
“Isn’t your name rarer?”
Zhao Huo laughed and said, “Dong Chengling also looks pretty, but those of us who can become cultivating instructors are more focused on talent and hard work. Everyone is eager to practice and learn all the time, and they usually only chat with friends of the same gender. They probably have no intention of building connections with others.”
Ren Suo nodded. He naturally understood the mindsets of reverends like Zhao Huo.
Wealth, connections, and status were all hierarchical systems that made human beings realize their weaknesses in order to form teams and work collectively.
However, a real hierarchical system had now emerged, and it would allow mortals to be combined into one body, and enable individuals to break through their limits so as to crush all above them. The higher their level, the more resources and power they would get. It was no wonder that Zhao Huo was so eager about practicing.
Ren Suo said, “Do you know who has and hasn’t been Awakened?”
Zhao Huo glanced at Ren Suo and said, “That’s a dangerous question.”
“Do you really want to know?”
Ren Suo nodded.
Zhao Huo chugged the pork rib and corn peanut soup, wiped his mouth with a paper towel and said, “If I catch a cold or suffer from any ailments in the future, you’ll be the first one I go to for treatment.”
Ren Suo said, “Rest assured, I won’t end up killing you.”
“It’s okay to die…” Zhao Huo pursed his lips and said, “The specific Awakening ability is only known to the Awakened person. But we can basically guess whether he is Awakened or not.”
Slightly surprised, Ren Suo asked, “Guess?”
“Yes, guess.” Zhao Huo nodded with certainty and continued, “Because of the special training, our qualifications need to be measured and publicized daily to determine who has the best practice results and the most efficient way to improve. One’s experience can slowly be upgraded.”
“Then I found out that there is an upper limit on the qualifications for cultivation, and the most advanced apprentices are basically just closer to the upper limit; there is also a lower limit on the qualifications for cultivation, and most apprentices approaching the lower limit are mostly Awakeners.”
“Are there any Awakened amongst the apprentices approaching the higher limit then? The answer is no.”
“I’ve seen it with my own eyes, a cultivator who Awakened in special training and had great qualifications and experience leaving the training ground the next day and never returning again.”
Zhao Huo chuckled and said, “It is said that they went to Tianjing to further their studies. Hence, most of those who can be Awakened, will brag about it. Who would be willing to go to work if they could practice in peace?”
Ren Suo blinked and asked, “So the highly qualified and Awakened apprentices will not participate in the training in Lianjiang, and will instead go to a place of a greater scale?”
“Sort of.” Zhao Huo continued, sounding green with envy, “Although we have one more special training course compared to civil servants, there is actually no difference. It is all because of the state’s intention to establish a social system of practitioners as soon as possible. Hence, they had to speed up the education process to serve the civil servants of the community…”
“True talents will still be cultivated as seeds. Later on, the strong ones will be the only ones featured in the news on TV. ”
That was uncertain because most game characters tend to steal the limelight.
Ren Suo asked, “What about Dong Chengling’s qualifications?”
Zhao Huo answered, “She is the most qualified one in the special training course, and the boldest one in cultivation.”
Ren Suo remarked, “Is she that amazing? The most qualified and hard-working one… she’s a winner in life. Lowly people like me are different. I can’t compare to Dong Chengling at all. She’s such a talent … ”
Noticing that Zhao Huo suddenly frowned, Ren Suo subsequently heard a voice coming from behind.
“Don’t use talent as an excuse for laziness.”
Ren Suo turned around to see that the tall Dong Chengling was standing alone behind him while holding onto a tray of food.
“You’re just being lazy if you give up just because you’re inferior to others. If you want to make excuses for your laziness, don’t use me as a target for comparison.” Dong Chengling looked at them and said coldly, “This is an insult to my efforts.”
Watching Dong Chengling walk away, Zhao Huo shrugged and said, “That’s just how she is, always placing herself in the most correct position, and then preaching about morals and having the correct mindset… She was the captain during special training.”
Zhao Huo noticed that Ren Suo was still watching Dong Chengling and staring in the direction that she had left. He laughed and said, “Seriously, are you really interested? Seriously, I think you might as well consider that girl from the Strategy Bureau. She’s much more adorable than this stubborn and aggressive one…”
“Do you know where she lives?” Ren Suo asked.
Ignoring Zhao Huo’s look of astonishment, Ren Suo recalled the dialogue between Old Zhao and Nine-tailed Fox.
Before Old Zhao left, Nine-tailed Fox asked him why Dong Chengling was in a wheelchair, after which Old Zhao answered, “This is a blessing in disguise… But Dong Chengling would also like to thank you very much. If it wasn’t for the Heavenly Palace, she would not be Awakened, although the accident happened during the Awakening. ”
No doubt, after seeing her with his own eyes twice, Ren Suo was certain that Dong Chengling had no key now and that means she was not Awakened.
This Dong Chengling should be the Dong Chengling who opened the door of space in the game. After all, there should only be one person with such a name and appearance in Xuan Nation.
According to Old Zhao, Dong Chengling was Awakened by the action of the palace.
That is to say, the night that Pangolin opened the mysterious Spiritual Labyrinth, Dong Chengling got the gift from it and Awakened before getting into an accident and breaking her legs.
If Ren Suo wanted to upload the archive, Dong Chengling would be the best observation object.
He would be able to observe Dong Chengling’s Awakening process and see if she will possess a key that could tempt Ren Suo when she wakes up.
He could also rescue Dong Chengling from the accident. If she did not meet with an accident, will the corresponding game experience also change?
Rather than letting himself participate in the game, Ren Suo was more willing to observe the people around him and find out if he could influence them beforehand if they were involved in the game. He wanted to know if that would affect the game.
Is the “fate” predicted by the Mini Worlds Gaming Console inviolable, or is the actual “gravity” much heavier?
