Room of Reiki Dispersal, Underground Base, Restricted Area, Outskirts of Tianjing City.

“… So, are you satisfied?” Ren asked plainly and calmly.

Originally facing directly north, the Iron Seat of Reiki Dispersal turned to face the south-west direction. Ren was sitting on the Iron Seat and an electrically-charged purple light was dancing on his right index finger. His finger was pointing to where the wall was, originally, as he asked the researcher who was at the side.

“It’s done, it’s done,” the middle-aged researcher replied as he looked at the scene in front of him. He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, “Is this the tier 4 ability [Oven Alchemy]?”

The steel plates and cement making up the wall in the Room of Reiki Dispersal rapidly melted from the electrically-charged bolt of purple light which shot out from Ren’s fingertip. The melted steel plates and cement then transformed into a network of pipes that extended far away, until it connected with the pre-existing pipelines laid at the upper level of the restricted area.

“To be accurate, it is actually a combination of [Ranged Technique: Electric Fingertip] and [Oven Alchemy].”

Ren Throne coughed twice and said, “I have temporarily ascertained both of the abilities as fourth-tier abilities because only fourth-tier Practitioners possess the minimum amount of Reiki energy required to support and cast the two abilities… However, even if a fourth-tier Practitioner emerges in the future, it would still be highly unlikely for the Practitioner to be able to utilize these abilities.”

“After all, these are special abilities which mimic Awakened Abilities, so there are too many requirements with regard to the Practitioner’s affinities for the Practitioner to be able to utilize them.”

Ren Throne laughed at that juncture. He said, “In the field of higher-order abilities research, I am the only special case. There are no experimental targets even if more enhancements are made. Problems that are not obstacles to me may well be the Achilles’ heel of other Practitioners.”

The middle-aged researcher nodded and asked, “However, we now have more than five third-tier Practitioners. After the Reiki Veins around the world are activated in a few more days, their Practice rates would be much faster, right? Furthermore, Mr. Ren, the pipelines you have laid would now allow you to transmit your Reiki energy all the way to the Tianjing Institution. When the time comes, thousands of students would be able to grow and be nurtured rapidly under your care.”

“Indeed…” Ren Throne said. He sighed softly and continued, “Unfortunately, if only the Reiki Veins in other countries would not be activated, then we will be one step or even two steps ahead of other countries…”

The middle-aged researcher said, “We have no choice either. Even though the Heavenly Palace seems to have a deep-rooted relationship with Xuan Nation, ultimately, we do not have anyone within the Heavenly Palace, and neither do we have any way of contacting officials from the Heavenly Palace.”

“Even our pangolin comrade who is in the healthcare facility has not received any contact from other delegates of the Heavenly Palace, and the time limit is almost up.”

“Nonetheless, the other delegates of the Heavenly Palace will certainly activate the Reiki Veins of other places in the next few days. It is already beneficial for us to have had the opportunity to seize the time difference between the activation of Reiki Veins here and elsewhere.”

Ren Throne asked, “However, is this really good? Plotting such schemes between nations…”

The middle-aged researcher pushed his glasses higher and replied, “I don’t know much about this either, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also seems to only be in charge of negotiations between the Heavenly Palace and other nations and did not receive extraordinary benefits from doing that. It is just that many state-owned enterprises and local governments have been liaising with foreign companies and corporations this month, and the number of partnership agreements has increased.”

“Even if the delegates of the Heavenly Palace decided to work with other nations without any benefit for themselves, that would also only be a conflict between the Heavenly Palace and other nations. Moreover, the other nations can only accept the truth as it is; the Heavenly Palace did not say that it was exclusive to them anyway.”

Ren Throne only popped the question casually. He did not enjoy nor allow himself to be involved in politics.

“Mr. Ren, you must be very lonely too,” the middle-aged researcher said as he looked at the strongest man on earth, who was around the same age as his son studying in university. He asked, somewhat empathetically, “When a fourth tier Practitioner emerges, you would have someone to share your Practicing experiences with and should feel less alone, no?”

Even the researchers, who went in and out of the Room of Reiki Dispersal day and night, did not know exactly the present capabilities of Ren Throne. They only knew that whenever a Reiki Vein was activated, Ren Throne’s capabilities would soar even higher.

“Lonely? Feeling alone? How can that be,” Ren replied.

Ren Throne glanced at the computer screen on his right and his gaze was warm and gentle. He said, “As long as I have the chance to see her, I will not be lonely, and I will not feel alone… I can continue to live courageously until the day comes for me to meet her.”

The middle-aged researcher froze, then a helpless grin emerged on his face. He was standing quite close to Ren and could see what was on the computer screen in front of Ren Throne—

—It was his wallpaper.

The wallpaper was that of the night sky where butterflies were flying around in a dance. A female figure was descending through the sky towards Qingkong Street, and a beautiful smile was on her face. It was Nine-tailed Fox.

“Meow~”

“Eh?”

Ren Suo saw the black cat hiding under the shade of the tree outside the dormitory building. He was on the way back after eating his lunch in the dining hall. Ren Suo glanced around and checked that no one was nearby.

“What’s the matter, Black Bell?” Ren Suo asked as he squatted down and touched the black cat’s paw. He added, “Are you craving for spicy dried anchovies or spicy sticks today?”

The black cat shook its head and meowed.

Ren Suo was slightly stunned, then nodded the next moment. He asked, “What did the person look like?”

“Meow~”

“Oh… I see. Alright, I shall treat you to supper tonight,” Ren Suo said.

Upon hearing Ren Suo’s reply, the black cat curled up lazily and swayed its tail at the edge of the shade to have a feel of the heat of the sun. The black cat glanced at the ground and noticed a few black marks of mud—Ren Suo had stepped on a puddle of water when he was on the way back.

The black cat meowed and swept its tail lightly over the marks, but without touching the ground. The mud marks on the ground instantly disappeared with the rush of cool wind, as if they were sucked into a high-powered vacuum cleaner.

At the same time, Ren Suo walked to his door and carefully inspected the gap between the ground and the security door, to see if there were any wiretapping devices or the like. The black cat had just told him that someone had stood outside his house for some time but did not go in when he was out eating his lunch.

Ren Suo also wanted to ask the black cat what the person looked like, but it obviously could not answer the question. Similar to how people looked at cats, the cat also could not tell the specific differences between humans, unless the person had a strange skin color like pink, black or blue, or were cat breeds like shorthair, longhair, or ragdoll.

Nonetheless, Ren Suo did not find anything unusual. Perhaps someone was making a phone call and stood outside his house for a while, so the black cat could have been mistaken.

In the first place, the person would have needed to verify his identity using the wristband to enter the teachers’ dormitory building. Unless he had violently unlocked the door at the main entrance or had utilized special abilities, the visitor must have been a faculty member. Ren Suo thought about it and felt that he had not offended anyone else—or could it be that Zhao Huo finally became sick from eating spicy food?

Could it be that he had come to look for Ren Suo although he felt embarrassed, so he waited at the door for him but then decided not to in the end?

Ren Suo decided to ask since he already thought about it, so he called Zhao Huo. He asked, “Zhao Huo, how are you doing?”

“… How did you know?!” Zhao Huo exclaimed from the other end of the call.

“Don’t come to me for help, see you next time, goodbye, have a good death!” Ren Suo replied. He hung up the phone, decisively cutting himself off from any of Zhao Huo’s backup plans.

Knowing that it was Zhao Huo who wanted to look for him due to hemorrhoids and not someone who was investigating him, Ren Suo felt relieved. He continued to play his game with peace of mind.

Irina: [The corrupt twin has been located.]

“Did you finally find it…” Ren Suo muttered to himself. He was slightly frustrated as he calculated the time it took for the corrupt twin to be found—nearly 24 hours had passed since the last kill.

In the last hunt, the source data of the corrupt twin had dropped to 4%.

Did that mean that after this round was successful, he could clear the game mission?

Nonetheless, at that juncture, Ren Suo felt that it was slightly unreal—

It was a game with a 3+ star level of difficulty. Apart from the large amount of time he had to spend on it, was it that easy to pass the game?
