Chapter 97: Chapter 97: One of the Reborn?

    Ren Suo blinked as if he suddenly recalled something.


    He controlled the pangolin to run outside suddenly, and Huo Liang quickly ran after him, saying, “Wait, don’t go—”


    The house was not big,prising two rooms and a living room. Although the pangolin’s vision was poor, the calendar would definitely be hung at a prominent location in the house. The moment the pangolin entered the living room, Ren Suo saw the calendar hung on a cab, and he controlled the pangolin to climb onto it.


    The current date was written on the calendar.


    “X of May, Lunar Calendar X day of the X month, suitable for marriage…”


    However, just as the pangolin looked at the calendar, the date “X May” on the calendar changed into “X of X”!


    The default month setting was May when the yer was not noticing the month, but when the yer did notice, the game was unwilling to disclose that information to the yer.


    At that point, it was obvious to Ren Suo that the time in the game was either in a parallel universe or in the future!


    Based on the characteristics of the Mini Worlds Gaming Console, it was highly likely to be the future!


    Once Ren Suo uploaded thepleted game save, his entire gamey would be reality and take ce in the future!


    In that case, was he controlling the pangolin in the future and causing convergence of the world line, which causes an effect in the present, or was the Mini Worlds Gaming Console able to calcte the future of the entire universe and even the changes that would ur?


    However, the question remained, why was the game unwilling to let him know the exact time in the future that it would take ce?


    All of those meaningless and unverifiable questions in Ren Suo’s mind were quickly interrupted when Huo Liang scooped the pangolin up in his arms.


    He looked seriously at the pangolin and said, “—Pangolin, I want to be stronger, please teach me!”


    “I can adopt and feed you! Please be my holy creature!” Huo Liang continued.


    The pangolin pped the Huo Liang’s hands away and slipped into the room to retrieve the floor tile.


    Ren Suo thought, ‘This kid must have read too many novels. Why would he think that it was so easy to meet a holy creature?’


    It was a problem that had to be treated!


    It’s time to slip away. My time is very precious. The darned strongest creature in the world has gained a few hundreds ofbat points again!


    After the pangolin broke free from his grip, Huo Liang knew the pangolin’s reply to his question. He was extremely sullen and stood leaning against the wall. However, he saw that the pangolin did not leave after picking up the floor tile, but instead remained in the living room, looking up at the ceiling.


    “Eh?” Huo Liang said as he looked up and traced the pangolin’s gaze to the lightbulb hanging from the ceiling.


    There was an incandescent bulb as well as another smaller light bulb installed in his living room. The incandescent bulb was used at night, while the smaller light bulb was used during sleep so that he and his mother could navigate their way to the toilet in the middle of the night if they needed to. It was an extremely energy-saving bulb that was not too bright for the eyes while sleeping.


    “Do you want that?” Huo Liang asked as he looked at the pangolin.


    At that moment, a rarely seen dialogue box appeared with the following options—


    ① Yes


    ② No


    Ren Suo naturally selected “Yes”.


    “Ah? Which part of it do you want?” an extremely surprised Huo Liang asked.


    The pangolin lifted its hand and continued pointing at the lightbulb.


    Huo Liang stared at the light bulb and remained silent for some time, then probed, “You want the light bulb holder?”


    The pangolin nodded its head.


    With that, Huo Liang took some time removing the light bulb holder, and it was handed over to the pangolin.


    [36-year-old Lightbulb Holder]


    [Reiki content: Moderately little]


    [Chance of Enhancement: 50%]


    [Time required to absorb: 16 hours 16 minutes]


    [Passionate Glow: After being used for 36 years, thismp holder is filled with invigorating passion and the strength of light. After absorbing its Reiki, there would be a chance for the elemental path in the evolutionary tree to be activated during the next evolution]


    [Warding Evil: When using thismp holder, the hearts of all living souls can be calmed, and it can burn evil]


    Themp holder was truly… a great item!


    It made the trip to the city from the countryside worth it!


    Ren Suo had not imagined that he would find such a beneficial Reiki object in an ordinary house like that!


    The house appeared to be part of an old apartment building, and perhaps there would be many of such amazing items in the other rooms!


    However, from the pangolin’s field of view, Ren Suo saw Huo Liang looking at him feebly and his face was filled with grief.


    He said, “My mother is definitely going to scold me badly for removing themp holder.”


    On the screen, Huo Liang continued looking at the pangolin as he pped his hands together, begging, “You are filled with so much spiritual essence, you definitely have a way to make me stronger, don’t you?”


    Behind the screen, Ren Suo scratched his head.


    “You better hope that I am able to pass the game in this try with a high score…” Ren Suo muttered.


    ————


    I am fat, and e still grows on my face.


    It was a simple yet straightforward description, but it fully portrayed Chen Zile’s sorrows—it was not that a fat person like him did not have human rights, for there would always be a few people like him in every ss who could not fit in with the more popr students, and they could then form their own support group. In that way, Chen Zile still had a few close friends in real life.


    But while he was alone, Chen Zile hated his current self. It was only due to him being rejected when he was in his second year of senior high school, for a rtively touching reason:


    “Ah? You like me because I am nice to you? But.. but it’s only because I want to rub your stomach,” the girl said back then.


    The world came crashing down on Chen Zile immediately. At that time, he choked momentarily, remaining silent for a long time and finally said, “Oh… Sorry to disturb you then.”


    The girl looked cautiously at him and asked, “Then… can I still rub your stomach next time?”


    From that moment on, Chen Zile was determined to slim down.


    —That determinationsted three days for a grand total of 2-night jogging sessions. In fact, the second night jogging session was cut short due to his aching leg muscles (stemming from the excessive exercise the day before), after which he duly returned home to rest, and even ate supper in the middle of the night as he was too hungry in his sleep.


    Originally, Chen Zile no longer held any hopes for his future. After all, who would willingly choose to make themselves suffer?


    It was his belief that being fat was the final evolution of humans, especially after he watched the movie “Wall-E”—humans would eventually be fat if they did not work!


    To put it simply, he had given up on himself, and was trying to block off the beauty standards of the world with his impossible fantasies.


    He had imagined himself to be a strong and determined member of the Fatties’ Club. But when he was chosen to take part in the training where he personally sent a middle-aged white man with an oily face to the heavens with his “P18C of the Rain”, he surrendered.


    I want to be a hot and handsome guy too!


    However, in the training, it was easy to be handsome and slim down, but it was hard to continue being fat.


    If anyone saw a trainee who was not fat in the training, that person must have experienced a much more torturous life in reality than a fat person did: disabilities, congenital diseases, chronic illnesses…


    Nheless, those people generally did not appear in the third stage of the training, as most of them would rush back to reality to experience their changed lives after recovering their health.


    Chen Zile had encountered such people in the first stage of the training. He was a teenager from Xuan Nation who lost both his limbs in a car ident. When he was healed, he was virtually jumping and running everywhere. He hugged Chen Zile,ughing as he spoke to Chen Zile in a northeastern dialect that he could not understand. In the end, he let Chen Zile send him back to reality.


    Chen Zile asked, “What if this was all fake? What would you do if you actually died after being sent to the heavens?”


    The teenager, who was called Da Wei,ughed and said, “If I die, so be it. If that is the case, I would no longer be a burden to my parents. And if I do return, I would have perfectly functioning limbs. To me, both options are much better than being a useless person!”


    It really is tough for those who are disabled.


    However, it was not easy to be fat.


    Chen Zile had not thought that he would also experience the pain of being fat in the training.


    Who would have imagined that after drinking four cans of c, Chen Zile’s stomach became bloated, and after eating the Fried Chicken Set, he was on the verge of vomiting? Chen Zile had vowed never to eat fried chicken ever again after leaving the training, and he would not drink the fatty’s water of happiness either!


    In the previous two rounds of training, he drank 4 cans of c, 3 bars of chocte, and 2 fried chicken sets every hour on average. If Chen Zile did not have arge appetite to start with, he could well end up feeling nauseous from all the food and drinks.


    Fortunately, there was a day of rest between each stage of the training. There were entertainment facilities in the resting zone, and Chen Zile took the opportunity to go to aic book cafe to finish reading aic series that had not been fully tranted into Chinese—it felt like the deities were Chinese.


    At that point in time, Chen Zile had sessfully proceeded to the third stage of the training, which was also thest stage.


    He was one of the strongest trainees who had survived the second stage as a single-person team and now possessed 7 Talents. Apart from “ze”, which was leveled up to level 2 to enhance his vision of Voldemort, the rest was “Glorious Stars”. Even the rewards for the first two stages of the training was “Glorious Stars”.


    Indeed, Chen Zile mainly used the sniper recovery weapon. Although he was fat, he was not shortsighted, and his dynamic visual acuity was extremely good. He had not lost a single time in a fight against his opponents, but he had never won either—he was merely avoiding being shot.


    In addition, he had held a real gun before when he went overseas with his father. He also cosyed Counter-Strike regrly in real life and was a true military cosyer.


    Although he had managed to pass stage two because he was lucky (the Enjoyment Zone formed close to him), his technical handling ability of the weapons was in fact one of the best amongst the trainees.


    After he received the Glorious Stars Talents, Chen Zile was even stronger and more adept and sent numerous fat or disabled trainees to the skies. With his “Holy Light 98K” equipped with a red dot sight, he managed to achieve a morous achievement of fully healing 19 people in just three circles.


    The level 5 “Glorious Stars” Talent allowed Chen Zile’s shots from his recovery sniper rifle to be unaffected by the speed of the wind, electromaic waves, and other elemental conditions. It was only affected by gravity and required virtually no time to aim and preempt.


    At present, the fourth Enjoyment Zone was about to shrink and there were 34 people left. Chen Zile stood on the edge of the circle of the Enjoyment Zone, patiently awaiting those who remained outside.


    Chen Zile’s strategy of focusing on leveling up “Glorious Stars” gave him an extreme edge over his opponents in the second, third, and fourth circle. At that time, many of the trainees would be running towards the Enjoyment Zone, and the sniper rifle had thergest advantage. However, in the fifth circle, the battlezone became too small. The distance between one another was reduced and it was the recovery assault rifle’s turn to shine.


    As such, Chen Zile had to send as many trainees as possible to the skies at the start and reduce the number of trainees who remained in theter rounds. There would be a lower chance of short distance encounters and his recovery sniper rifle would still remain advantageous to him!


    Roar–


    It was the sound of the Great Ravenous Dragon!


    How silly, how did he dare to ride the five-seater Great Ravenous Dragon? Chen Zilong had not imagined that there would be such a fool who would do so. In “Land of the Light”, the best form of transportation for a single person was the Lightning Wyvern. It was as fast as lightning and it was useless to aim a shot at it unless the distance was sufficiently close. The Snow Unicorn was the next best option as it was able to withstand a portion of the recovery effects.


    Even with Chen Zile’s level 5 “Glorious Stars”, he had to stand right in front of the Lightning Wyvern to stand a chance at shooting the trainee who was on it; it was otherwise impossible to do so.


    The Great Ravenous Dragon did not move slowly either, but it was virtually defenseless. Any trainee who rode on it was essentially a prominent target!


    As the footsteps of the Great Ravenous Dragon came closer, Chen Zile switched to the Holy Light 98K and waited patiently for the “vehicle” to appear in view.


    It was now on the other side of the slope on the other mountain!


    It was about to appear!


    At that moment, Chen Zile heard the footsteps of the Great Ravenous Dragon stop.


    You were about to enter the zone, why did you stop?


    Chen Zile looked into the distance with his naked eye and was relieved—there was at least a hundred-meter distance from his position to the slope of the mountain.


    Even a fully-levelled “ze” would not be able to see me.


    And so——


    A gun sh appeared from the opposite mountain. Chen Zile then realized that his “Poorly-Made Poor Quality Dragon Ritual Mask” quickly lighted up in mes, hail, and lightning. It transformed into a “Real Dragon Ritual Mask”.


    But Chen Zile had not ascended to the sky yet!


    That opponent had not upgraded his recovery assault rifle, and Chen Zile’s level 3 helmet was able to withstand one shot from it. His health only rose to 95%, so he could still be saved!


    Chen Zile almost instantly rolled backward, down the slope.


    The injury dealt from rolling down the slope would not activate the Protection of the Gods, and Chen Zile’syer of fats acted as the best protection during that time. Within a few seconds, he reached the bottom of the slope. He hid in the bushes as a phantom tank, and began drinking c and eating fried chicken!


    However, at that moment, a Holy Grenade also rolled down from the ridge of the mountains to where Chen Zile was hiding.


    “What the–” Chen Zile eximed.


    Even as Chen Zile turned into a handsome guy with four-pack abs, he could not figure out how his opponent had found out his location, and how his opponent knew that he was hiding in the bushes to recover?


    It could not have been “ze”, for “ze” could not take effect from such a terrifyingly great distance!


    Furthermore, the entire sequence of events took ce very quickly. Chen Zile thought about the distance from which the hand grenade was thrown and realized that his opponent must have rushed over after shooting his helmet. When his opponent reached a suitably close distance, he had then thrown the Holy Grenade from the other side of the slope, causing Chen Zile to ascend to the heavens without even finishing his fried chicken.


    Did my opponent do well?


    No, it was me who received it well.


    Rather than skill… it was more justified to say that he had already known my location, preempted my reaction, and knew exactly where I was going to hide!


    It had to be made known that while Chen Zile was in hiding, he had not fired the rifle, nor did he move in his camougebat suit. He could not have been seen from that far away!


    That opponent’s moves seemed to suggest that he had experienced it himself before.


    It was as if his opponent had experienced that training before, and was trying again after loading a saved game.


    As Chen Zile rose to the sky, he then decided to take thest opportunity to carve the looks of that fat trainee who had caused him to ascend to the heavens in his mind.


    That opponent’s strange actions and ability to foresee the oue reminded Chen Zile of a word that had been trending on the inte.


    Furthermore, it seemed that many more strange happenings had taken ce recently, and the nation was also preparing to establish a Practitioner School, so whatever appeared would not have been extraordinary.


    Could that opponent be… one of the Reborn?!
