Chapter 220 -217: Awakening (3rd Update)

“Master?”

Yelena noticed the change in Zhao Mingwei’s facial expression. Normally, just standing beside Zhao Mingwei would have produced a steady stream of tiny hearts at a rate of one per minute from her, but now, not a single little heart emerged from Yelena…

Realizing that Zhao Mingwei’s current mood was somewhat gloomy, Yelena hurriedly handed over all the little hearts she had to Zhao Mingwei.

These tokens of affection would automatically be added to a corresponding player’s inventory once they got close enough.

“Master, look, I can now release Mind Energy,” Yelena said.

In front of Zhao Mingwei, Yelena demonstrated the action of releasing a wave of Mind Energy. When teaching Mind Energy to Yelena, Zhao Mingwei had also been in the exploratory stage himself.

He had made inquiries from his professional mentors and searched some background stories, only to find out that in order to cultivate Mind Energy, a disciple must have a powerful Mind Energy Master plant a seed called Mind Energy within them.

Zhao Mingwei’s Mind Energy tattoo was a manifestation of the Mind Energy seed… This was a setting that existed only in the game’s backstory, and Zhao Mingwei himself didn’t know if it would be successful.

But now it seemed that both Yelena and Zhao Mingwei were exceptionally gifted; Zhao Mingwei successfully planted the seed of Mind Energy within Yelena, and she managed to make it sprout.

It was still just a sprout, though.

The wave of Mind Energy that Yelena now released was so small that it made Zhao Mingwei sigh, only as large as a chicken egg… and it dissipated less than a meter away.

Whether this Mind Energy wave could even inflict five points of damage was questionable.

“You shouldn’t focus on the palm of your hand as the gathering point for Mind Energy, but rather the whole arm… The final action of pushing it out is to concentrate all the Mind Energy from your arm into one point in your palm,” Zhao Mingwei explained.

Zhao Mingwei’s understanding of the Mind Energy Master class had surpassed the scope of the game; when controlling Mind Energy, he could feel where the system-assisted Mind Energy started to accumulate and where it was released from.

Ordinary players wouldn’t pay attention to these details when casting skills.

“It really became much bigger!” Yelena exclaimed.

The way Yelena released Mind Energy was somewhat like how a Mage casts a star missile; her Mind Energy resembled a star missile, but at least it was now the size of an ostrich egg.

Looking at the thirteen little hearts that popped out of Yelena again, Zhao Mingwei found himself at a loss for how to tell her that he was going to be offline for nearly half a month.

If this were an in-game dialogue option, Zhao Mingwei could say it without any psychological pressure, but unfortunately, such an option wouldn’t appear in the game’s dialogue box.

“Master… I heard your friends and your friend always… talking about something to do with twenty-one days,” Yelena said, noticing Zhao Mingwei’s silence, and chose to bring up the topic herself after thinking for a while.

“I need to go offline for a while,” Zhao Mingwei no longer concealed the truth.

“Go offline?”

Yelena’s puzzled question made Zhao Mingwei freeze… right, the residents of this world probably don’t understand what ‘going offline’ means.

“It means I’ll be leaving this world for some time. You should know that I am a Saint, summoned to this world,” Zhao Mingwei explained.

Recalling the game’s setting, he actually felt those seemingly useless background setups and stories were real, and the residents of this world believed them, too.

“I know! Master, you and the other Saints are great heroes who came to save this world,” Yelena said sincerely.

When she first arrived at the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold, she had been skeptical about the matter, but ever since the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild valiantly saved her from Denghis Xisi’s grasp and purified the island of the crystalline sickness,

Yelena believed wholeheartedly that the Saints had indeed come to rescue this world.

“Yes.” Zhao Mingwei felt awkward when mentioning the real world, but he still organized his words to convey some matters to Yelena, “In my world, the real world, there are some things I need to take care of. These matters will prevent me from appearing in this world for twenty-one days…”

“Is someone challenging us?”

As Yelena said this, she even made a punching gesture with her fist, conjuring the words ‘Muay Thai warning’ in the mind of the onlooker, Jiang Qiao.

“Challenging?”

Yelena’s reply left Zhao Mingwei stunned.

“Yeah, in your world, Master, there must be many powerful spirits, but it seems like they can’t beat you. With your powerful Mind Energy and boxing skills, you should be able to knock down those challengers right away!”

Yelena had absolute confidence in Zhao Mingwei’s strength; indeed, if Zhao Mingwei seriously aimed for the rankings, him reaching the top spot on the Spirit PvP leaderboard would be a normal occurrence.

But he couldn’t do it… His identity as a powerful Mind Energy Master was confined to the game; in reality, he was a young man who couldn’t even lift two buckets of water.

Similarly, Zhao Mingwei never owned the freedom he had in the game; the glory of being a professional player bound him like shackles.

For Zhao Mingwei, Yelena’s words were not praise, but rather like needles piercing his heart. The feeling he felt the most now was probably… a sense of powerlessness.

On one side was the domineering Tiger Emperor of the game world, and on the other was a professional player manipulated by capital, bearing immense pressure yet helpless to do anything about it.

“It’s not like that,” Zhao Mingwei said softly.

“It’s not challenging? Could it be that you, Master, are going to challenge others? Twenty-one days… Hmm, if it’s that long, Master, you’re not going to challenge all the martial arts schools, are you?” Yelena asked again.

“Who told you about ‘challenging’?” Zhao Mingwei always felt that ‘challenging’ didn’t seem like… a concept Yelena should grasp.

“Velvet Rabbit sister told me. She said you are worshipped as a… ‘great god’ in another world. You even busted the guild of that sour-faced guild leader several times before.”

The ‘sour-faced guild leader’ Yelena referred to was probably Mo Shigui.

Yelena’s response also reminded Zhao Mingwei that he is a responsible person… In the honor of the titles ‘Dominating the World’ and ‘Smiling Lord,’ carried not only his efforts and sweat but also the efforts and sweat of his friends, Lin Xi… Mo Shigui and the older members of Dominating the World all had a part in it.

This was also the reason why Zhao Mingwei continued to stay with Dominating the World, but… it was enough by now, right?

Seven whole years… it was time to choose a way to end all this without damaging the honor of the club.

“Yes, I need to take down many martial arts schools in these twenty-one days, so you’ll have to rely on yourself for the Mind Energy training from now on,” Zhao Mingwei said.

“Then you better come back quickly, or else I might become stronger than you,” Yelena said.

Yelena’s words were no joke; her level had already reached thirty-five. If Zhao Mingwei didn’t log on for a year, Yelena might indeed become stronger than him.

Zhao Mingwei gave a slight nod without a word, his gaze shifting to Jiang Qiao, who had been watching all along. After Jiang Qiao gave a thumbs-up, Zhao Mingwei’s figure vanished in front of Yelena.

“Jiang Qiao! I have tallied the numbers of NPCs recruited by the various guilds! What’s happened?” Hai Lan’s figure suddenly appeared beside Jiang Qiao. She noticed that his expression was different from usual.

“It’s nothing… I’m just thinking that it’s time to consider letting the spirits join the competition,” Jiang Qiao said.

“Competition? What competition?”

“The competition for the world’s most popular game,” Jiang Qiao said in a soft voice.

Jiang Qiao didn’t dare say what the most interesting game in the world was, as countless gamers would give countless answers. But the benchmark for the most popular game has always been present in the world.

When a game becomes popular, the benefits aren’t limited to the game developers; the players themselves also reap many advantages.
