Chapter 254: 【207】Talent points maxed out, cultivating at godspeed! The Attribute Light Group reappears! (Requesting double monthly tickets) _1
 

Late at night, somewhere in this world.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure swirls to the ground like a tornado, taking on human form, cloaked in black and indistinguishable in gender or age, standing before a giant stone formation.

A hoarse voice with a peculiar intonation said, “Xiong Suxin died in Central Continent City.”

Several heaps of stones in front of them suddenly vibrated and twisted, forming a massive rock giant that slowly opened its eyes with a voice like thunder, “Who did it?”

“People from the Investigation Team.”

The rock giant just hummed softly, “I’m about to break through to my Seventh Time Detoxification, everything else can wait until I’m out of seclusion.”

“Seventh time… Truly a monster.”

…

…

…

The night enveloped Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.

Pei Jinye toyed with a piece of Lotus Petals in his hand.

According to the memory of the Lord Lotus Island, he had obtained this Lotus Petal by some chance coincidence, and it was related to Mr. Tu Ling, the creator of the Intelligent Brain Ring.

As for its specific use, he had never been able to understand it.

An intangible force constantly repelled his spiritual will.

But this did not prevent the Lord Lotus Island from forging it into some form of inheritance, attracting various treasure seekers, and gradually siphoning their vitality.

Unfortunately, they encountered Pei Jinye.

Regardless of whether the inheritance was real or fake, in the end, all the memories brought by that remnant soul were bundled together.

After hesitating for two days, Pei Jinye decided to give it a try.

“That old guy’s memory seemed to covet this thing… Tu Ling, since he was able to create the epoch-making treasure that is the Star Ring, then the Lotus Mirror related to him must be anything but ordinary.”

Pei Jinye pondered for a moment.

This object had been acknowledged by his blood, and a faint connection was continuously being released from the Lotus Mirror, like some kind of invitation signal.

For these two days, Pei Jinye had been in a state of refusal.

Having some free time tonight, he decided to give it a try.

Following the signal from the Lotus Mirror, Pei Jinye connected with it.

The instant his spiritual power merged, the Jade Pendant he had received from Ah Li suddenly emitted a gentle glow, enveloping his entire body.

Almost instantaneously.

Pei Jinye’s consciousness had disappeared from the back courtyard of Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious space.

[Would you like to accept the beginner’s guide? Yes/No]

The options for Yes and No were two floating cubes, one black and one white.

The chat box that appeared in front of him made Pei Jinye think for a moment he had started an immersive VR game late at night.

He reached out and touched the “Yes” cube.

Immediately, the image in the display shifted.

A middle-aged man with a warm smile appeared.

Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.

Because the person in front of him was none other than the man who had created the Intelligent Brain Ring and thereby changed the world – Mr. Tu Ling.

“Greetings, honored adventuring traveler sir, it is my privilege to meet you here and to provide you with guidance. You may call me Butler.”

This butler, who appeared to be in his thirties, Tu Ling, exuded enthusiasm in his speech and mannerisms.

“Adventuring traveler sir, please follow me.”

Pei Jinye followed after him.

“This is your private warehouse, I’m sorry, my adventuring traveler sir, please allow me to be frank, your private warehouse is rather small at the moment, it has only 8 cubic meters of storage space… so it would be somewhat difficult to move your real-world residence in here.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye’s brows rose slightly, “You mean real-world objects can also be placed in here?”

“Of course, my adventuring traveler sir,” Butler Tu Ling introduced fervently, “This is both a virtual world and will surely become the real world. This is a great experiment, and if it really works out, then in the future… human beings might truly be able to live forever.”

As he spoke.

He became a bit more restrained, and with a hint of apology, he bowed slightly, “My apologies, my adventuring traveler sir, I got a little too excited.”

Pei Jinye was curious whether this was indeed the remnant soul of that person or merely a program?

But for the time being, he had no interest in this.

“What is this?” Pei Jinye asked, pointing at the [02] room.

Butler Tu Ling explained, “This is your trading room where you can make secret transactions privately with other adventurers. You don’t have to worry about being discovered by anyone, yes, by anyone.”

Pei Jinye nodded and continued to follow, listening to the introduction.

“To be precise, this place is still in the research phase, so it can’t be made available to everyone yet. Currently, you are adventurer number 404, and up until now, there have been only 500 adventurers registered.”

Pei Jinye’s eyebrows went up slightly.

So many years after Mr. Tu Ling passed away, and yet only five hundred people had appeared here.

“Please choose your appearance form.”

“Hm? Form?”

Seeing it was a stone statue, Pei Jinye pulled a face, what bad taste.

“Would you like your voice to have special processing?”

“Yes.”

“Would you like to disable location tracking and enable anti-tracking mode?”

“Yes.”

“…”

“Yes.”

…

“Respected adventuring traveler sir, your caution is admirable. I think it must be a valuable experience from your years traversing the world. Next, I’ll mention a few points…”

“…”

“Firstly, there are three ways to go online here… online, incognito, do not disturb. Online mode grants the highest experience points for leveling up.”

“Secondly, your adventurer’s panel shows your leveling conditions and related level permissions.”

“Thirdly, please do not underestimate the leveling through experience points. The higher your level, the better your treatment, such as expanding your private warehouse space…”

“Fourth, you must be very careful of the Federation’s Hunters. They have the power to strip you adventurers of your privileges… Bad adventurers wouldn’t choose to be so high-profile in front of Federation Hunters. Remember this,”

…

“Federation Hunters? Who are they?” Pei Jinye asked.

“They are the Hunters hunting you down, existing in the corners of reality. Please discern this on your own,” Butler Tu Ling didn’t give the answer Pei Jinye wanted.

He asked again, “Sir, the Star Ring is your creation. Why is it subjected to such pressure by the Federation?”

“I apologize, respected adventurer sir, but I cannot answer your question,”

Butler Tu Ling said this and then bowed slightly.

“I wish you smooth sailing in the adventures that lie ahead.”

Turning around.

His figure quickly disappeared.

Pei Jinye sighed.

Tu Ling’s greatness is acknowledged by the entire world.

Even those who oppose the Federation would not disrespect this gentleman.

And yet, what he has created has now become forbidden by the Federation, which is quite ironic.

With a thought.

On the vast, eerie sea.

A stone statue slowly emerged from the water.

The sea was terrifyingly calm, without a single sound.

Just as Pei Jinye was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

“Hello, sir, would you like to trade?”

Turning the stone statue to look, there was a smaller statue, only reaching up to Pei Jinye’s stone statue’s waist, with the number [249]…

“What do you have?” Pei Jinye asked.

“Please come to my trading room.” As soon as the other party heard Pei Jinye’s interested tone, he immediately became even more enthusiastic.

He set up a transportation portal and gestured for Pei Jinye to follow.

Pei Jinye wasn’t afraid and strode through.

After closing the door.

Number [249] said, “Brother, I need Moonfall Suspension Liquid. If you can provide three drops, I have two D-level Sealing Objects here, as well as Cursed Objects.”

Moonfall Suspension Liquid, a soul potion, a Federation-controlled product, not even available in Da Peng City.

Pei Jinye shook his head, “I’m sorry.”

Upon hearing this, number [249] immediately looked somewhat disappointed, but still managed to say, “No problem, sir. If you can get it in the future, please be sure to contact me. I won’t let you down.”

“Definitely.”

Pei Jinye left the private trading room, wandered around for a while, guessing that there were definitely old schemers quietly observing, then he also turned off his stealth mode and logged out directly.

…

“It’s like a private trading area.”

Pei Jinye put away the Lotus Mirror and glanced at the night, then began to activate “Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns”.

…

…

Morning.

At the first break of dawn, when the sun’s rays fell through the clouds, Pei Jinye had already begun practicing the Play of Five Animals.

With the enhancement of his martial arts aptitude.

Now, practicing these mental methods and techniques feels entirely natural to him.

Even the previously arcane and difficult “Sword Decides Life or Death”, as well as the Sword Immortal Senior’s “Celestial Human Swordsmanship”, now seemed illuminating.

But it has to be said, such high-level swordsmanship feels esoteric even to him.

It’s as if he had a realization, and yet, as if he hadn’t.

However, in the span of a moment, a fallen leaf suddenly turned into an invisible Sword Intent, whistling away.

The giant locust tree beside him suddenly shuddered, a Giant Python quickly coiled at the top out of fright, and dozens of birds circled in panic, afraid to land.

And that falling leaf had, under Pei Jinye’s casual strike, hit a mountain wall a hundred meters away, sinking deep into it, its depth unknown.

“Interesting.”

Pei Jinye started practicing the technique of the Lord Lotus Island, “Hundred Flowers·Lotus Intention”. The benefit of this technique is that it can expand the meridians and increase the Vitality of the body.

Originally, Pei Jinye thought he had reached his limit.

Now, as he continued to practice, he found his limit being pushed further.

“Open up for me! Open up fiercely, let me see where my limits really are!”

…

This morning, the sunrise spread, appearing like cascades of gold over the mountains.

Pei Jinye seemed utterly transparent.

An hour later.

He gradually ended his practice.

With a punch.

If his punch had a power of 100 before, now it was 120.

But this was not his limit!

And his speed in practice was like being on a rocket, astoundingly fast, blindingly impressive.

“Thankful for the Treasure Technique gifted by the generous Lord Lotus Island, truly thoughtful of you.”

Pei Jinye stretched his limbs, his face unable to conceal his satisfaction.

“Sometimes you just have to marvel…”

“Some people, when they die, though they be light as a feather, they die with purpose!”

Stepping into the dining room, he casually made contact, and under the touch of the green Attribute Light Group.

A stream of information once again poured into Pei Jinye’s mind.

[Congratulations on obtaining…]
