Lin Qianxuan continued to advance the plot.

After Zhang Juan finished eating, she casually tidied up some coverings for the game character to cover himself and let him sleep in the living room, while she went to the bedroom.

She deliberately acted cold and even repulsive.

Lin Qianxuan felt this way.

He admitted that his childhood lens hadn’t entirely faded.

But he also firmly believed that she must still remember certain things.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t let the game character rest but issued a command for him to gather information in the living room.

Most of the things in the living room were unfamiliar to Lin Qianxuan, like the technological products of this world.

If it were before, Lin Qianxuan would definitely have a hard time figuring out what these things were, but it’s different now as he has the [Eyes of the Muddled Heaven].

(Using the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven, examine how to use this item.)

Several scenes flickered by, and Lin Qianxuan instantly learned the functions of these household appliances.

Projectors, ovens, wireless charging pillars, automatic cleansers….

Apart from having slightly different designs, these things weren’t much different from Earth’s household appliances that Lin Qianxuan had seen.

Of course, having similar functions doesn’t mean the inner workings are the same.

For example, the projector uses non-medium projection technology, as shown in the imprints of fate.

Such technology hasn’t been mastered on Earth.

Lin Qianxuan could make it with the black technology of the Divine Machine Art, but it certainly couldn’t be popularized, whereas here, it seems to be very common.

Besides these, Lin Qianxuan also saw some creations from Earth.

Clearly, Zhang Juan seems somewhat nostalgic.

Additionally, Lin Qianxuan saw some books and a thing that looked like a movie poster.

He didn’t understand the text on the books or the movie poster.

However, he directly used the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to interpret their meanings.

As the imprints of fate flashed, the information in these books was quickly translated.

Simply put, Lin Qianxuan easily learned the standard language and script of this region.

Compared to before, it’s much more convenient for him to play games and acquire information now.

At this point, Lin Qianxuan also knew the contents of these books.

Many of them were novels, a few were history books, and some were books for learning various aspects of knowledge.

The novels were mostly fiction and fabrication, so Lin Qianxuan couldn’t look at them closely.

But the history books were crucial.

These history books simply recorded the situation of this place.

The history here was divided into three stages.

The first stage was the Age of Chaos.

At that time, people on the planet fought on their own, with various factions in chaos, battling against each other.

The second stage was the Unification Stage.

During this period, several impressive figures emerged, achieving brief unifications of the world, but soon after, everything shattered again.

The third stage was the Supreme Stage.

At this stage, the world was no longer so chaotic.

Interests were divided, and everyone obeyed the orders of the Supreme, and even the mother star was renamed as the Supreme Star.

The so-called Supreme is the strongest superpower user among all those with superpowers.

Because he was the strongest, he held absolute power, and the world served him, simply put, the absolute strong were revered.

“Superpower” is what makes this world different from Lin Qianxuan’s previous understanding of Earth.

Everyone possesses a superpower gene, and they typically awaken it before the age of ten.

However, superpowers also vary in strength, with potential being high or low.

Judging by the interference value of superpowers, Tier One is the weakest, Tier Five is the strongest.

These superpowers are further divided into hundreds of different categories.

The hundreds are then categorized into numerous sub-categories, making it quite complex.

Superpowers, once awakened, have their strength basically decided, lacking any so-called growth.

Subsequent discussions involve only the degree of development.

With good development, even the lowest tier of superpowers can accomplish great feats.

However, overall, superpowers with low interference values have low potential and not much development value.

Much of the technology in this world is irreplicable.

That belongs to certain special superpower users directly producing materials, then skipping over the previous material technology tree to directly achieve higher technological results.

Like the energy storage technology here.

Because a Tier Four superpower user produced a storage particle capable of storing large amounts of energy, a battery the size of a thumb could drive a floating flying shuttle for an entire day.

Such a thing used as a bomb, the size of a finger, could turn a hundred meters into dust.

So from a certain perspective, this world’s technology is all black technology; if the related superpower users are dead, it’s hard to say if the same products can be reproduced.

Lin Qianxuan flipped through the previous records, checking the talent the game character received from Zhang Juan.

[Evolutionary Body: Your body can adapt faster to the environment and produce corresponding evolutions, thereby acquiring new superpowers. (Current adaptation degree 0%.)]

Logically, Zhang Juan shouldn’t have the superpower gene of this world, but she awakened superpowers.

Presumably, she used some special means.

Moreover, her superpowers seemed different from others’.

According to the description, does it belong to a superpower that can repeatedly awaken new superpowers?

Or is it simply a talent mutated due to being influenced by the world’s rules that isn’t really a superpower?

This talent seems capable of being influenced by different environmental stimuli.

Once the adaptation degree is full, you can probably acquire a superpower.

From this perspective, Zhang Juan’s potential is indeed quite exaggerated, extremely exaggerated.

After all, according to the situation in this world, a person can at most awaken only one superpower, which also has its strength determined at birth.

Zhang Juan can repeatedly awaken, akin to drawing cards in a pool without limit.

As such, drawing a golden card is almost an inevitable result for her.

Lin Qianxuan directed the game character’s gaze towards the poster.

The poster looked like a movie poster, as it featured some flying people and various special effects battle scenes, but in reality, it wasn’t.

Those weren’t special effects; they were actual screenshots.

This poster depicted the [Holy War] that would occur in a month.

Yes, the Holy War that determines the strongest in the world.

The Holy War opens once every thousand years.

Everyone in the world can participate and compete for ranking through battles.

The ranking directly affects resource allocation.

It reshuffles the deck for everyone.

And the top-ranking Supreme Saint becomes the King of the World, possessing absolute power.

This is the most straightforward advancement channel in this world, quite simple and crude.

It’s hard to imagine a world with a gladiator-like promotion mechanism.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the Holy War has a mortality rate of up to seventy-three percent.

In other words, only less than thirty percent of the survivors have the chance to defy fate.

Of course, relatively speaking, this chance is actually quite high.

But they earn it by betting their lives.

Lin Qianxuan was puzzled; could it be that Zhang Juan intended to participate in the Holy War?

Does she plan to vie for the position of Supreme Saint?

Is this the main storyline of this game?

Lin Qianxuan thought for a moment and set it aside for the time being.

Instead, he began to consider the strategy regarding Zhang Juan.

Zhang Juan’s destiny aura was dissipating, and if he wanted to save her, the only option was to pursue her strategy.

Lin Qianxuan was genuinely conflicted in his heart.

Clearly, he no longer wished to touch this game, but he regrettably had no choice.

Could he just watch her die?

Lin Qianxuan asked himself honestly, given his past relationship with Zhang Juan, he couldn’t do such a thing.

Moreover, he felt that if he didn’t follow the path of the String of Destiny, the consequences might not be as simple as just Zhang Juan’s death.

He was already entangled by destiny, and for now, he had almost no chance of rebellion.

After thinking it over, Lin Qianxuan decided to use an old trick.

Back then, to strategy the Gongsun sisters, he used [Eyes of the Muddled Heaven] and saw the perfect strategy route.

Now he should also be able to use this method to see the strategy route for Zhang Juan.

(Use Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to view ways to gain Zhang Juan’s favor…)

Command issued, the game character’s eyes gleamed with red light, but after a while, there was no feedback at all.

The narration subtitles began to appear.

[You tried to use Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to see ways to gain Zhang Juan’s favor, but you failed. Zhang Juan’s causal weight is much greater than yours, you cannot glimpse any information about her at all.]

“How could it fail?”

Lin Qianxuan couldn’t understand.

Both Zhang Juan and the game character are currently in the same space, the same timeline. Considering that Zhang Juan still needed the game character’s help to be rescued, her strength shouldn’t be much greater than the game character’s. So why is her causal weight so much greater than his?

Lin Qianxuan thought he might be missing a lot of information as an observer, so he decided to inquire about his in-game self.

(Think about why it failed.)

[You pondered and ultimately thought that it must be because Zhang Juan’s strength far exceeds yours. Previously, you had sensed a powerful aura from Zhang Juan, only she kept it hidden. You suspect that she might be under some restriction, unable to reveal her hand easily.]

“Is that so? Then it makes sense!”

Lin Qianxuan realized.

Not making a move doesn’t mean being weaker.

Perhaps Zhang Juan’s condition now is due to being injured, and using power previously would trigger a series of reactions, which is why she doesn’t make a move.

This explains why her destiny aura dissipates.

It’s estimated that even if she had killed those five people surrounding her at that time, it would have resulted in her own death.

However, this makes the strategy much more difficult!

Speaking of which, if she’s stronger than him, does it mean…..

Lin Qianxuan’s eyes glinted with disbelief and emotion.

He was already at the Celestial Rank peak, and at the same tier, he had no reason to be unable to see destiny marks. Then, Zhang Juan must have already reached the Dao Realm!

Unexpectedly, the realm he had always longed for, Zhang Juan had already reached ahead of him.

He previously mentioned wanting to help her, but his own strength likely wouldn’t amount to much in front of her.

He wondered what she had gone through.

….

“I’m going to rest now, are you sleeping?” Chen Long’Er suddenly asked.

Lin Qianxuan looked into her eyes and knew she didn’t just mean wanting to sleep.

After a slight hesitation, Lin Qianxuan chose to shut down the computer and continue tomorrow.

Playing this game in front of Chen Long’Er, even if it wouldn’t be discovered, still made him a bit uncomfortable.

He decided to wait until Chen Long’Er returned to the Otherworld Bureau tomorrow before continuing.

As for tonight, he planned to settle things with Chen Long’Er first!!
