“Do we still need to undergo observation?”

The twenty Practitioners who were brought back from death’s door were deemed to be perfectly healthy after two days of examinations and tests.

They were called to gather, and they thought that they would either have to undergo further observation or return to their original units. However, the order they received was to temporarily remain on standby.

Gu Yuexuan, the team leader, sat down on the couch in the lounge and stretched his neck which had not been fully recovered. He said, “Great, so we are temporarily under the jurisdiction of Restricted Zone 7 of Tianjing and are directly under the Reiki Research Institute of Tianjing. However, we have not received a mission yet, so… let’s enjoy a holiday here. Although we cannot access the internet from inside here, all of the entertainment devices that we are used to having are provided here.”

Cheng Xiao scratched his flat-top head and asked, “Why do we have to remain here? Are they still concerned about us?”

“It’s not that they are still concerned,” Gu Yuexuan said. He continued, “Even the Ren Throne said that we are fine, so it must be so. It’s just that…”

“Ren Throne?” asked Li Dan, slightly stunned.

“Ren sits on the throne, isn’t the description just great?” Gu Yuexuan said, “Oh right, regarding ‘Ren’, you all know that it is top secret and you should take any information regarding him to your graves.”

“Either way, it seems to be a direct order from Ren Throne. He said that a team who is proficient in search capabilities should stay in Tianjing City. Since we are already here, the Countermeasure Headquarters decided that we should remain,” Gu Yuexuan explained.

With an unlit cigarette in his mouth, Li Xuefu asked, “Do we need to help search for something? As long as it is not the Earth Spirit that we are searching for, I am willing to search even in the mountains or in the sea.”

“It’s not that either,” Gu Yuexuan said. He clasped his hands together and continued, “There does not seem to be a particular reason and they did not assign any mission to us too. It just seems like… such an idea came up and they chose to go along with it? Anyway, during this period when you are on standby, you just need to ensure that you can gather back here within 1 minute. Other than that, whatever you want to do is up to you.”

Li Dan, with his dark eye circle and who had remained silent, suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

Here it is again, the strange flow of Reiki energy…

“Gu Yueyan, I shall give the opportunity to have dinner with Dong Chengling to you,” Ren Suo said as he took his plates and stood up. He added, “In return, shouldn’t you treat me to supper?”

“Oh? That’s not impossible… Wait, aren’t you a staff member, why do you need a student to treat you?” Gu Yueyan questioned. She glared at Ren Suo and said, “Haha, are you finally running out of money? If that is so, I am willing to treat you to a meal.”

Gu Yueyan launched a mockery attack.

“Thank you in advance, I’m not eating dinner then. I will wait for your treat tonight, I’ll have stir-fried skewers with crayfish, snails, and clams.

Ren Suo used “Thick-skin” and was immune to the mockery attack. It even resulted in counter injury.

Gu Yueyan: 1, Ren Suo: 2.

Gu Yueyan stared at the former “refined scum”, but as he was leaving, Ren Suo took a glance at Dong Chengling and whispered when he passed Gu Yueyan, “Cherish your final chance.”

Hmm?

Gu Yueyan watched as Ren Suo disappeared from sight. What did he mean by that?

She thought, ‘Cherish my final chance… Whose final chance? Teacher and I?’

‘He wants to kill me!’ Gu Yueyan’s gaze turned cold.

‘No, that can’t be, although he does not look like a good guy, the hatred between us is not so great that he would want to kill me…’

‘He wants to kill Teacher Dong!’ Gu Yueyan’s gaze turned cold.

‘No, that can’t be, he would not be able to beat Teacher Dong in combat…’

‘He wants to confess to Teacher Dong and spend intimate time with her, so he wants to eliminate me!’ Gu Yueyan’s gaze turned cold.

After Dong Chengling finished her meal and returned her plates, she saw Gu Yueyan sitting at the side in a daze. She asked, “Have you finished your meal? Let’s go back to take an afternoon nap.”

Gu Yueyan looked earnestly at Dong Chengling and said, “Teacher Dong, regardless of what that guy with the surname Ren does, be it begging or acting pitiful, you must be firm in your principles and continue moving forward! Do not be deluded by your hormones!”

Dong Chengling laughed and said, “Both of you are such great friends.”

But she sighed the next moment, saying, “I have been troubling both of you a lot these few days. I will remember this friendship dearly in my heart.”

Gu Yueyan quickly replied, “Teacher Dong, this is nothing much…”

“It may not seem significant to you, but to me, it is timely help. Although I am prepared to rely on free meals for survival, delicious meals will indeed increase my satisfaction in life as well as improve my ability to concentrate, and I will then be better able to Practice.”

“And that is also why I did not turn down the offer. As long as it can make my Practice journey easier, and it is a proper path to take, I will not resist change. Instead, I will choose to repay your kindness sometime in the future, but Gu Yueyan, if you require any help next time, feel free to ask me.”

Dong Chengling blinked and touched Gu Yueyan’s head. She continued, “Moreover, you are so close to me now, it feels like I have another younger sister… If you encounter any difficulties in the future on your Practice journey, I will always welcome you with open arms. Although I am still not very proficient now and am also not good at communicating, it can still be beneficial when two people converse with each other.”

Gu Yueyan blushed as Dong Chengling touched her head. She said, “That, that would be great if I have an older sister like Teacher. May I call you Sister in private?”

“Then should I call you Xiaoyan? Xiaoyan,” Dong Chengling said.

“Sure! Sister Ling!” Gu Yueyan said.

“In a few more days, the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation will be activated, I need to settle this matter quickly…”

The moment Ren Suo returned home, he turned on the game console and went into the minigame [Repaying Kindness] in “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”, to pick a suitable candidate from a long list of names.

It was a minigame which did not reward him with any merit points. There was only one purpose of the game—to increase the number of believers of the Master of the Holy Light, the Heart of Everlasting Warmth, and the Ruler of the Wind, Rain, and Snow!

[Repaying Kindness: When the strongest priest successfully cultivated the “Heart of Light”, the “Will of Fire”, the “Shield of the Wind and Snow”, as well as the “Benevolence of the Gods”, in the Heavenly Kingdom, he was granted permission to descend to the ordinary world, to grant the benevolence of the gods to people and spread the faith.]

[Mission Brief: The three deities have sent the priest, Zhao Zili, to the ordinary world. She is required to receive at least one true believer of the three gods, as well as 1000 micro-beliefs.]

[Mission Requirements: Zhao Zili can only remain in the mortal world for at most 30 minutes. Otherwise, there will be unpredictable consequences.]

[Mission Reward: Increase in Priest points and Priest level, which can further unlock the Treasure of Immense Holy Light for Zhao Zili.]

[Remarks: Recovery is the only ability to be used; there is no mission score for the mini-game, and there is no uploading of mission score; the game time is in real-time.]

The mini-game was actually very simple. Ren Suo would have to control Zhao Zili to treat ordinary people in the name of the three gods, and there must be at least one true believer who was willing to continue to provide Belief to the three gods, as well as 1,000 Micro-beliefs that arise temporarily.

Ren Suo thought that the Micro-beliefs were easier to achieve. It felt similar to “the wealthy ones would pay for the meal while the rest clapped in joy”. As long as people longed and crazed for the “miracle cure” from Zhao Zili which treated all illnesses and diseases, some Micro-beliefs would be generated.

It was finding a true believer that was more troublesome. How would Ren Suo know who would become a true believer of the three gods based on their gratitude towards Zhao Zili?

Nonetheless, Ren Suo was not concerned about the task.

But it was only then that he understood why “Naisser_Ren” had added an event after he uploaded the “Holy Priest: Survival Battle” video—

“Comment in the comments section the trainee number whom you think will pass the third round of the training (the trainee number can be found on the top right corner of each segment). ‘Naisser_Ren’ will pick a lucky winner from those who guessed the trainee number correctly, and the lucky winner may receive a Recovery Set (contents to be confirmed, timing to be confirmed). Each person is only entitled to one vote, and the voting will close 24 hours after the upload time of this video.”

And presently, in front of Ren Suo was a list of names of lucky people who correctly picked “Zhao Zili” to be the winner when the video “Holy Priest: Survival Battle” was uploaded.

However, Ren Suo wondered if the people on the list were related to those who were eliminated by Zhao Zili in the first two stages of the training—only those people would have confidence that Zhao Zili would emerge as the champion.

“But it doesn’t matter. There will only be one lucky winner, although… I don’t want to treat only one person.”
