CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 105: MEETING THE EARTH SPIRIT AGAIN

EDITOR: DRAGON BOAT TRANSLATION

The next day, when Ren Suo woke up, he found himself dozing with his face on the laptop keyboard—not very healthy.

He subconsciously grabbed his phone to check the time and discovered a message from Yu Kuangtu.

"Awesome, you guessed it! Choosing you really was the right move! I’ll definitely report this merit of yours!"

Huh?

Ren Suo stretched lazily in his chair before he realized what Yu Kuangtu’s message meant.

So, he opened the GILIGILI website and, sure enough, found that Ren Naiser had updated!

[Jedi Priest · Part Two].

Upon playing the video, there was no introduction for the Lord of Billion Brilliance, Monarch of Wind, Rain, and Snow, or Eternal Burning Heart; it jumped straight to the main content.

The main perspective was from the character Ren Suo was familiar with—Zhao Zili.

Of course, game characters looked quite different from real people. The features of overweight characters were stretched out and less clear, but their clothing remained consistent.

In the top right corner, Zhao Zili’s number was marked: No. 98.

What followed was, naturally, Zhao Zili effortlessly beating everyone and easily claiming victory. The video lasted a full 65 minutes, capturing the scene of Zhao Zili being crowned by the three deities after his victory.

"My surname is Zhao. Zhao Zili!"

"Thus, we bestow upon thee the Endless Radiance Treasury. Thou must abide by the thirty-six commandments, bear our glory, walk the earth, and spread blessings!"

"From this moment on, Zhao Zili, thou art our Proxy, wielding the scepter of life!"

The screen froze amidst a dazzling white light.

Then it cut to a black screen, with an announcement from ’Ren Naiser’ in eight different languages:

’The first lottery event has been completed. Those who guessed correctly, please do not pay attention to this round of the lottery, nor do you need to provide any information. However, if you are chosen, the Proxy will come to you, offering a customized healing package.’

This sounds like, ’Just buy Bitcoin and forget about it. When you see its value has gone up on TV in a few years, sell it. If not, just consider it a loss.’

However, Ren Suo and his family members were neither sick nor in any pain, nor were they overweight. Naturally, he was not interested in this healing package and did not even leave a comment. Instead, he went out to eat after a quick wash.

Yes, the guy had stayed up playing games until midnight again and only got out of bed at noon that day.

On the way, Ren Suo saw quite a few parents with their children walking into the school.

Heavenly Lotus Academy had confirmed that it would start classes on May 10th, and new students were already enrolling.

Heavenly Lotus Academy was not only for Lianjiang City but also for cultivator students from neighboring provinces and cities. The nation had established ten Cultivation Academies, almost benefiting everyone equally, evenly distributed across regions.

Students from other places had started to arrive, settling in the dormitories ahead of time. Almost all were accompanied by their parents. As each one entered Heavenly Lotus Academy, the humble ones could not hide their joy, and the proud ones were almost walking with their noses in the air.

His mother had mentioned that scoring an admission notice from Heavenly Lotus Academy was now no less significant than being accepted by Sky Capital University—anyway, both were rare talents.

Moreover, being admitted to Sky Capital University merely made one the crème de la crème of college students, but getting into Heavenly Lotus Academy... that was about becoming an immortal!

Outside the academy, however, quite a few men in suits were wandering around. When Ren Suo came out, one of them quickly approached him:

"Excuse me, are you a parent of a new student at Heavenly Lotus Academy? I’m from Hongfu Real Estate..."

Ren Suo shook his head abruptly. "I’m not buying property."

"Sir, sir, if your child attends Heavenly Lotus Academy, why not consider buying a property for them? This area is sure to develop into a commercial center in the future, and Hongfu Real Estate is willing to provide a ninety-percent mortgage for you!"

The man in the suit hurriedly said, "If you really don’t have money, that’s also no problem. If you, sir, are willing to change jobs and sign a ten-year labor contract with Hongfu Real Estate, you can get a fully furnished luxury residence for free here!"

Ren Suo looked at him skeptically. "Sales jobs have such good benefits now? Giving away houses for free."

"As long as you have a direct relative studying at Heavenly Lotus Academy, you are eligible for this offer," the man in the suit said, mopping the sweat from his brow. "If your relative achieves good grades at Heavenly Lotus Academy, you could rise quickly within Hongfu Real Estate."

Ren Suo got it. "So you’re trying to... form a good connection?"

"Something like that." The man in the suit took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead and presented a benefits document. "If you can convince your relative to join Hongfu Real Estate after graduation, according to the big boss, any student from Heavenly Lotus Academy can pick any property in the city, with an annual salary starting at three hundred thousand. How does that sound?"

"Wow, that’s really great!" Ren Suo glanced at the benefits document and said, "I don’t even have an annual salary of three hundred thousand right now!"

"Right?" The man in the suit was overjoyed, thinking he was finally about to close a deal after standing there for two days. "Are you a brother or a father? You look so young!"

"I’m a brother," Ren Suo said seriously. "But my sister isn’t studying at Heavenly Lotus Academy. That should still work, right?"

"Ah?" The man in the suit was momentarily stunned, then quickly took back the benefits document. "Bro, we’re all just working here. Let’s not waste each other’s time, okay?"

Ren Suo glanced at the other men lingering at the school gate and asked, "Do those people have the same goal as you?"

"Pretty much," the man in the suit said. "Heavenly Lotus Academy is a rare opportunity, and cultivation is even rarer. Wealthy people can’t even push their way in, so naturally, they’ll try everything... Hey, you two, wait up, just a minute."

Watching the man in the suit rush off to pester a pair of parents walking out of the school, Ren Suo shrugged and went to have a bowl of braised chicken rice for lunch.

Once the waters are muddied, all sorts of unsavory characters emerge.

What would happen if the Spirit Treasury erupted?

When he returned, the school gate was crowded with many cars. Because Heavenly Lotus Academy did not allow vehicles on campus, the new students and their parents were dragging their luggage onto the school grounds.

Ren Suo only glanced over and felt a shock in his heart.

One, two, three...?!

Out of the five new students he saw at a glance, a boy and a girl triggered an enticing reaction in Ren Suo. The high school girl who seemed to carry a Key, standing next to a young woman in her early twenties, also gave Ren Suo a powerful, enticing reaction!

Fortunately, the distance was somewhat far. Ren Suo, relying on his strong willpower, managed to turn his head away and lower it to slip into the academy.

The young men and women, the older brothers and sisters, the uncles and aunts, watching the furtive Ren Suo, all murmured, "Is that school staff?"

"He swiped a card at the entryway, so it seems. Could they have a student that old?"

"Maybe he’s a street cleaner..."

On his way home, Ren Suo suddenly remembered another benefit of being an Emergency School Doctor.

He could be in contact with students near Serious Injury or stun for a long period.

If a student happened to carry a Key, then he could almost effortlessly get his hands on it!

Ren Suo remembered that he had not yet opened the Two-Star Treasure Chest rewarded by "Jedi Priest"!

However, not every student held a Key, and those who did were not necessarily going to end up in a schoolyard fight and in need of First Aid.

If, during these fights, the students used a Spell that could cause prolonged unconsciousness, one that ordinary medicine could not cure and required Supernatural Abilities to heal...

Ren Suo shook his head. Where could there be such good fortune?

Putting aside whether or not he could find such a Spell...

Even if he did find one, it would have to be submitted through the proper channels to the state, which might then possibly impart it to the students. Someone like Ren Suo himself was definitely not an option.

You, a homebody who stays at home every day, where did you acquire such a Spell? Come clean, have you discovered a Different Dimension Gate capable of traveling to a Fantasy World, Cultivation World, or Martial Arts World?

What, you created it yourself? Even better!

If Ren Suo could create a Spell, good lord, that would seal his fate as key research personnel. He would have to say goodbye to game consoles, as the nation would need him to contribute his youth and hair to Spiritual Energy Technology.

Wait a second... do I have all these prerequisites?

Ren Suo hurriedly went home to power up his Mini-World Game Console. He casually brought his laptop from the bedroom to the living room to open the "Purchasing Strategy" he had written the night before.

He subconsciously glanced at his other games and noticed the disc for "Over My Dead Body" was still spinning. However, "Jedi Priest" was not showing a disc in the bottom right corner but rather a flickering ’downward arrow’ icon, like a ’file being downloaded’ symbol.

Ren Suo was slightly puzzled. But seeing that "Jedi Priest" was still in a ’progress Status’, he temporarily set aside the matter and entered "Devouring the Spirit of the World."

He loaded the game save, and the screen gradually filled like ink spreading in water. In the bright morning light, a beautiful young girl wearing a crimson robe, with a single ponytail and bare legs, stood by the roadside, looking delicate and lovable.

This was the human form of the Red Fox, achieved via Human Mimicry after the Humanoid Pangolin’s Immortal Legacy!

Logically speaking, animals that mimicked humans should still retain some traits, like the Humanoid Pangolin. However, rather than retaining pangolin traits, it was as if this pangolin had developed human-like characteristics...

However, after the Red Fox Evolved into a human form, it looked utterly human with no imperfections. Its adorable appearance could pierce anyone’s Heart Chamber.

This was the result of multiple evolutions, such as "hallucination" and "suggestion," completely concealing any Non-Human features!

Compared to brute Force, the Red Fox’s Abilities were more suited for navigating the human city!

Yet, the reason Ren Suo had the Red Fox stop here the previous night was because, after escaping danger, it encountered a familiar being—

"What powerful Spiritual Power."

With snow-white hair and eyes, and an innocent face, dressed in white, the North Wild Earth Spirit suddenly emerged from the ground. This gave Ren Suo, who had been playing until midnight, such a fright that he almost dropped the controller.

If the North Wild Earth Spirit had not been fairly attractive, he might have had nightmares.

"Another of my kind... Young fox, do you need a little help? Of course, this is a transaction."

"The Red Fox encountered the North Wild Earth Spirit and can trade Merit Points with it."
