Chapter 109: Chapter 109: The Heavenly Palace Is Very Powerful

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ren Suo woke up early the next morning and continued his journey in the game.

Before sleeping, the night before, he had already thought of his “script” and how he would make use of the pangolin to communicate with the Countermeasure Division in the game. The only problem at present was whether the ability Ren Suo had downloaded from the Knowledge Web could be put to good use.

Ren Suo opened the “Equipment” page, and a new ability had indeed emerged—

It was “Ability: Ventriloquy”, a tier-one ability with no dependent affinities, which he had purchased for 50 Reiki Stones from the Knowledge Universe.

Its effect was simple, allowing noises to be made through the whirlpool of Reiki in the abdomen. If used often, it could even reduce belly fat and train the abdominal muscles.

The following were the three major prohibitions of such ability:

First, it should not be used when experiencing stomach pain, or else the pain would not be able to be suppressed by the user;

Second, it should not be used when taking a dump, or else a rectal prolapse will occur; and

Third, it should not be used while eating, or else the user would pass gas.

There was a limited number of contexts in which the ability could be used, since very few Practitioners were mute, and very few Practitioners would buy that ability to strengthen their abdominal muscles…

The ability was priced at 50 Reiki Stones, which was one of the cheapest amongst the tens of abilities in the Reiki Universe, and not without reason.

However, there are no useless abilities, only useless Practitioners… my foot!

If not for the fact that the abilities Ren Suo learned could also be equipped by the in-game characters through the “Equipment” page, Ren Suo would not have purchased such a useless ability—he did not need to train to become a six-pack beast anyway!

Ren Suo equipped the “All-Devouring Soul” with the ability, and after changing the game character to the pangolin—

“Ventriloquy” actually appeared on the bottom left corner of the abilities column, and there was a textbox where words could be entered to be spoken!

Indeed, in human form, several of the spells equipped by the game characters can be used normally!

A bottle of ink and a stack of A4 paper was currently placed in front of the pangolin as it communicated with the middle-aged man from the Countermeasure Division.

The middle-aged man said, “At pangolin comrade’s request, we have now provided you with paper and ink. You may tell us if you have any other requests.”

“We have a few questions we need you to answer. As long as you are willing to answer our questions honestly, I can assure you that you will be given a comfortable living environment and a good guide in your Practice.”

“There is no need to hurry, you may write your answer down word by word. We have a lot of time—” the middle-aged man said.

The pangolin replied, “It’s okay, let’s begin.”

On the screen, it was obvious that both the man, who was clad in the black vest and the middle-aged man were dumbfounded.

The middle-aged man asked, “You… can communicate with your abdomen? Why did you not say so earlier and instead wrote with your fist?”

The pangolin replied, “As I was, being chased, by you, I hit, my head, became unconscious, and forgot, that I could, do so, when I awoke.”

“… Alright,” the middle-aged man said. He continued, “In that case, let’s begin.”

“Firstly, what did you do to cause the red glow in the sky of Tianjing? There was even a meteor shower last night, what exactly happened?” the man asked.

It was time to put to the test Ren Suo’s skills in making up tales.

The pangolin answered, “We are, from the, Heavenly Palace. We brought, two things, with us, when we left.”

“One, was a, Tablet of, Merits. It can, allow us, to become, human.”

“The other, was a, Tablet of, Treasure. It contained, a secret,” the pangolin said.

At that juncture, a “?” symbol emerged above the head of the middle-aged man.

He said, “Hold on, let me make a call first…”

After 20 minutes, the middle-aged man returned with a young man dressed in a suit. The young man stood at the side but did not say anything, as if he was surveilling the conversation.

The middle-aged man then continued, asking, “What is the Heavenly Palace? Where is it?”

“Heavenly Palace, is very, powerful. It is in, another, universe,” the pangolin answered.

The middle-aged man asked the same question a few times, and the pangolin gave the exact same answer. Forced to change the question, he said, “How is that related to the extraordinary red glow phenomena over the past few days?”

The pangolin replied, “The, Tablet of Merits, can allow us, to change, our form. Igniting the, Reiki source, brings great, merits.”

The middle-aged man asked, “Merits? Igniting the Reiki source? Does that refer to… the Fire of Legacies last night?”

The pangolin said, “Yes. That is, the Reiki Source, of Xuan Nation. From now on, the Reiki Source, of Xuan Nation, has become, stronger.”

The middle-aged man exchanged glances with the young man in the suit, then asked, “How did you ignite the Reiki source?”

The pangolin replied, “The Tablet of Merits, posted six times, for half, a day, each time.”

“If successful, I would, become human. The Tablet of Merits, fuses with the, Reiki source.”

The men looked at the pangolin—it did not look fully like a human, nor exactly like a pangolin, making what it said seem extremely convincing.

The middle-aged man asked, “Then, what is the Tablet of Treasure?”

The pangolin replied, “The Tablet of Treasure, is an ability, it contains, a secret. A truly suitable person, can receive, great powers, after learning it.”

The middle-aged man probed, “Have you learned it?”

The pangolin raised its right fist, shaking it. It said, “The Tablet of Treasure, is of no use, to me.”

The middle-aged man had not expected such a reply. He said, “Then… where is the Tablet of Treasure?”

The pangolin replied, “I have, hidden it in, a small alley. Do you, want it?”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying, “We are willing to pay a high price in exchange for the Table of Treasure. You will definitely be satisfied.”

At that moment, the young man suddenly asked, “You just said that ‘we’ left the Heavenly Palace? So there are others with you?”

Again, the pangolin pressed its right fist on his head and nodded.

The young man asked, “Where are the rest then?”

The pangolin said, “Dispersed. They are also, going to ignite, Reiki sources.”

The young man questioned, “Why did all of you leave the Heavenly Palace?”

The pangolin explained, “Because we, want to, change form. But in the, Heavenly Palace, there are no, merits. So the, Heavenly Palace, gave us, the Tablet, of Merits, and told me, the Reiki Source, of Xuan Nation.”

The young man said, “In that case, do you know where are the other Reiki Sources?”

The pangolin replied, “No, I only know, that of, Xuan Nation.”

The young man asked, “What about the Tablet of Treasure then? Is it also given by the Heavenly Palace?”

The pangolin said, “I picked, it up, from the, Heavenly Palace. Everyone learns, in the Palace, so there are, many Tablets, of Treasure.”

Everyone on the screen fell into deep thought, except for the pangolin. Satisfied, Ren Suo nodded his head.

He had tried his best.

By fabricating the presence of a particular power, Ren Suo attempted to maximize the value of the “Tame Head Tablet”. If that was not sufficient to get the nation to value the ability and make it a well-known ability too, Ren Suo would have to admit defeat and be left with no clue on how he could receive more unconscious patients.

After all, there were plenty of ways Practitioners could deal with ordinary people, such as by simply activating “Clothes” and charging over recklessly. However, it was not as easy to subdue other Practitioners.

In the Knowledge Universe, Ren Suo had not seen any practical ability like “Tame Head” which was not at all lethal but was a ranged ability that could not be blocked by Practitioners.

It was a practical ability that also seemed to be a huge secret.

Now, it is up to luck to activate the secret ability, please become well-known quickly…

As to why Ren Suo had “used” the Heavenly Palace… it was because he had already mentioned it before in “The Hitman”. Talking about it again now would make it seem realistic.

Ren Suo quickly recorded down his fabricated tale, so that he could use it again if he failed to complete the game in the current game save.

Now, it was time to control the red fox to activate the second Reiki Treasure, and turn the pangolin’s words into reality!

The plane gradually descended into London Heathrow International Airport. The red fox, with a body as red as fire, attracted much attention throughout the journey, and easily passed through immigration—the visa, face verification, and security checks were all successfully fooled with the drunkard’s identity and “Seductive Charm”.

Even those who lined up immediately behind the red fox did not sense anything amiss.

“Seductive Charm”, “Illusion”, “Delusion” and “Body Fragrance Charm +10” was sufficient to let anyone who was near the red fox automatically approve of all of its movement.

Out of the 26 evolutionary abilities of the red fox, Ren Suo had chosen to evolve one of them 10 times, and that was “Body Fragrance Charm”.

That was also the only ability that could be stacked. The ability card was green with blue words, and it had only one effect:

The body fragrance of the red fox would be stronger and detectable from a larger radius around the fox. All attributes and abilities of the fox would increase significantly within the radius of the fragrance. This evolutionary ability can be evolved multiple times and stacked.

Compared to vision, appearance, and voice, body fragrance was the simplest yet most widely-affecting and most directly impactful factor.

At present, any living creature within a 50-meter radius of the red fox would be subconsciously affected by the red fox and would even be charmed by it!

That was the charm of “Unlimited Legacies: Reignite”. With normal evolutions, Ren Suo might not dare to choose to evolve such an assist ability. Even if he did choose such an ability, it might not necessarily appear again in the next evolution to stack the upgrades.

On the contrary, with “Reignite”, Ren Suo could choose to evolve “Body Fragrance Charm” directly 10 times, allowing that ability to achieve an assisting effect almost akin to cheating!

Even though the four attributes of the red fox were not high at present, who could stop the red fox in what it was doing?

Standing by the road outside the airport, a luxury car stopped in front of the red fox in less than 30 seconds—although Ren Suo was not good with cars, he was still able to identify a sports car.

The difficulty of the game had even dropped after becoming a beautiful young lady—that must be the right strategy to take in this game.

After getting onto the car, the white man beside the fox kept talking, but Ren Suo could understand a limited number of vocabulary like “beautiful”. Nonetheless, it did not matter if Ren Suo could not understand what he was saying, as long as the charming sounds made by the red fox could be understood by the white man.

The red fox said, “Sir, to the Elizabeth Tower please, or it is also known as… the Big Ben.”
