Seeing Lao Zhao leaving the room with a thoughtful look on his face, Ren Suo did not hesitate. He let the nine-tailed fox leave an illusory fairy sword on the spot, and then let it directly activate the "Knight's Wind". It took only a few seconds to easily leave the embassy.

The nine-tailed fox arrived at a hotel outside and randomly chose a room. Finding that there was no one inside, it transformed into its original form, becoming a small nine-tailed fox, and activated the "illusion" to hide itself in the closet.

The Fairy Sword illusion has been given a higher priority by Ren Suo, and this illusion will continue. If a human figure appears within three meters, the player will be automatically alerted.

It was impossible for Ren Suo to let the Nine-tailed Fox stay in the embassy. God knew whether those monks would find a way to find out the Nine-tailed Fox's background.

For safety reasons, a sword was left in the room as a 'transmission certificate', which was enough to show the attitude of the Nine-Tailed Fox: I am cooperating with you.

Just now, Old Zhao asked the Nine-tailed Fox whether the Immortal Palace would appear in the world, and Ren Suo's answer was: Not for the time being.

He directly used the setting of spiritual veins, saying that the world's spiritual energy recovery has not yet been completed. If a strong man in the fairy palace appears, it is very likely that he can destroy the world with a wave of his hand.

The Immortal Palace will not interfere with the operations of various countries. It will only pay a little attention when necessary, such as on major events such as igniting spirit veins. But that's all - the Immortal Palace has set the ignition of spirit veins as the transformation target for a group of small animals, which shows that they don't really take it seriously.

The reason why the Nine-Tailed Fox was able to come out was because she was also a weak member in the Fairy Palace and was able to pass through unhindered in her current spiritual state.

Although it was only the nine-tailed fox's one-sided statement, for some reason Old Zhao believed it. He was obviously relieved and quickly said goodbye and went back to discuss with the top leaders of Xuan State.

In fact, Ren Suo was already prepared for Lao Zhao's questioning. After all, the setting of the Immortal Palace was also something he came up with on the spur of the moment. The main purpose was to explain why the strong people in the Immortal Palace did not appear - because they were too strong and the world could not accommodate them.

But this setting is undoubtedly nonsense, but Lao Zhao did not ask any more questions, and I don’t know if it was because of the favorability.

Before leaving, Lao Zhao said that he would try his best to complete the negotiation with Fanying Country within two days, and let Fanying Country send national treasures for Little Blue Cat to "satisfy his desire" in exchange for Little Blue Cat's chance to ignite his spiritual veins.

So Ren Suo planned to fast forward 10 hours, but——

"The game character is in a special state and cannot be fast-forwarded."

Um?

Ren Suo tried several more times, but it still didn't work. Even asking the nine-tailed fox to transform back into its original form and lie on the bed didn't work. If Ren Suo hadn't been rational, he would have wanted to take a picture of the nine-tailed fox lying on the bed and use it as his phone screensaver.

Ren Suo changed the controlled character and found that although there was no change in the pangolin's room, there were several more pets around him.

Well, these pets are all pangolins.

There was also a plate of ants on the table, the ants were all stuck to the syrup on the plate, and the presentation was pleasing to the eye.

What on earth is going on in the brain circuits of the Endangered Fairy Protection Department...

However, even the pangolin cannot use the fast-forward function.

Hmmmm?

Ren Suo was confused. The game time was still slowly slipping away, but... there was no way to fast forward.

It's like the game hasn't finished processing the game character's 'special state' yet, so the fast-forward function is temporarily turned off.

Although it was not a big problem, Ren Suo checked the "Automatically pause when encountering events" in the game settings, then returned to the main interface, turned off the screen, put away the controller, as if he was not playing the game.

It was already night, so Ren Suo went to the cafeteria to eat.

The third floor of the cafeteria was crowded with people. Many students were not afraid of the "small-budget prices" of the cafeteria on the third floor and decided to have a good meal on the first day of school.

Ren Suo was holding a plate and was surprised to see Zhao Huo eating as well, so he walked over and sat opposite him. "How does it feel to be a teacher?"

Zhao Huo shrugged his shoulders when he heard Ren Suo's question, and said with a wry smile, "What else can I do... I just taught a class today, introducing spiritual energy and current research status to a group of first-year high school students, but many students asked questions."

"If I teach them how to cultivate spiritual energy, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer their questions myself."

Ren Suo said, "Then you have to keep learning... You cultivation instructors should have more powerful cultivation methods that can build a higher level, right?"

Zhao Huo glanced at Ren Suo and said, "This is a confidential matter...but now, I no longer use advanced cultivation methods."

"The more powerful cultivation methods are no longer simple breathing exercises. Like spells, they require a magic net to teach. If you want to learn, you have to find a way yourself - I don't have one anyway."

Ren Suo uttered a "huh" and chatted for a while before casually asking, "Do you know Dong Chengling?"

"Dong Chengling? Oh, her."

Zhao Huo blinked his eyes. "I know her, but I'm not familiar with her. What's wrong? Do you have any ideas? Didn't you fall in love with a girl during the civil servant training?"

That’s really the name.

Ren Suo quickly shook his head: "It's just that I happened to remember this name. Don't you think this name is very rare?"

"If it's rare, isn't your name even rarer?"

Zhao Huo smiled and said, "Dong Chengling looks pretty, but those of us who can become training instructors depend on talent and diligence. Almost everyone seizes their time to practice and study. Usually, they just chat with their same-sex friends at most and have no intention of building connections with others."

Ren Suo nodded. He could naturally understand the thoughts of cultivators like Zhao Huo.

Wealth, connections, status, these are the hierarchical systems that humans created because they realized their own weakness and wanted to leverage the power of the group.

But now a real level system has emerged, which allows mortals to combine their myriad powers into one, breaking the limitation that individuals are inferior to the collective, and perfectly crushing all the previous factors. Moreover, the higher the level, the more resources and power one gets, so it is no wonder that Zhao Huo and his friends are so eager to practice.

Ren Suo: "Then do you know who is awakened and who is not?"

Zhao Huo glanced at Ren Suo and said, "Your question is very dangerous."

"You really want to know?"

Ren Suo nodded.

Zhao Huo drank up the pork bone, corn and peanut soup at hand, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth: "If I have any cold or illness in the future, I will come to you first for treatment."

Ren Suo: "Don't worry, I won't be able to kill you."

“It’s ok if he can’t be cured…” Zhao Huo curled his lips and said, “Only the awakener himself knows the specific awakening ability. But we can basically guess whether it is true or not.”

Ren Suo was slightly startled: "Guess?"

"Yes, I guess." Zhao Huo nodded confidently: "Because during special training, our qualifications need to be measured and announced every day to determine who has the best training effect and the highest efficiency in improving qualifications - training can slowly improve qualifications."

"Then I discovered that there is an upper limit to cultivation aptitude, and the highest-level apprentices are basically just close to the upper limit; there is also a lower limit to cultivation aptitude, and most of the apprentices close to the lower limit are awakened."

"So among the apprentices approaching the upper limit, are there any awakened ones? The answer is - no."

"I saw it with my own eyes. A cultivator with extremely high aptitude who awakened during special training left the training base the next day and never came back."

Zhao Huo chuckled and said, "It is said that he went to Tianjing for further studies. Therefore, most people would tell others if they could awaken. Who would be willing to come out to work if they can practice in peace?"

Ren Suo blinked his eyes: "So the apprentices who are both highly qualified and able to awaken will not participate in the training in Lianjiang, but go to a bigger stage?"

“Almost the same.” Zhao Huo’s tone was full of envy. “Although we have one more special training than civil servants, there is actually no difference. We are all civil servants who have to undergo crash courses to serve the society in order to establish a social system for cultivators as quickly as possible…”

"Really talented people will still be cultivated as seeds. In the future, they will be the only strong men who appear on TV and in the news."

It's hard to say, as there will be many game characters that steal the show.

Ren Suo asked, "What about Dong Chengling's qualifications?"

Zhao Huo: "She is the one with the strongest aptitude in the special training, and also the one who practices the most crazily."

Ren Suo said with a sigh, "So amazing? He has the best talent and practices diligently. He is simply a winner in life. It's different for people like me with low talent. No matter how I practice, I am still a useless person. I can't compare to Dong Chengling, who is so talented..."

Ren Suo noticed that Zhao Huo suddenly winked at him, and a voice sounded behind him:

“Don’t use talent as an excuse for laziness.”

Ren Suo turned his head and saw the tall Dong Chengling standing behind him alone, holding a plate.

"Giving up when you can't compare to others is just laziness. If you want to make excuses for your laziness, don't use me as a comparison point," Dong Chengling looked at them and said calmly, "This is an insult to my efforts."

Watching Dong Chengling walk away, Zhao Huo shrugged: "She is just like that. She always keeps herself in the most correct position and then uses the most correct values ​​to reason... She was the captain during the special training."

Zhao Huo noticed that Ren Suo was still looking at the direction where Dong Chengling left, and said with a smile: "No way, are you really interested? To be honest, I think you might as well think about the girl in the Countermeasures Bureau, or the girl who seems to have a crush on you. They are always cuter than this hardworking type..."

"Do you know where she lives?" Ren Suo asked suddenly.

Ignoring Zhao Zili's shocked expression, Ren Suo recalled the conversation between the Nine-tailed Fox and Old Zhao.

Before leaving, the nine-tailed fox asked why Dong Chengling was in a wheelchair. Lao Zhao said, "This is a blessing in disguise... But Dong Chengling is still very grateful to you. If it weren't for the Immortal Palace, she wouldn't have awakened, although an accident happened when she awakened."

There is no doubt that after two personal verifications, Ren Suo is certain that Dong Chengling does not have the key now, which means he has not awakened.

And this Dong Chengling should be the Dong Chengling who tore open the space door in the game. After all, with this appearance and name, and being a cultivator, there should be only one like him in the whole Xuan Kingdom.

According to Lao Zhao, Dong Chengling awakened because of the 'Action of the Immortal Palace'.

That is to say, on the night when the pangolin opened the Xuan Kingdom's spiritual treasure, Dong Chengling received the gift from the spiritual treasure, awakened, and then an accident happened and he broke both legs.

If Ren Suo wanted to upload the archive of "Spirit of the Devouring World", then Dong Chengling would be the best subject for observation.

He could observe Dong Chengling's awakening process to see if the key** would appear after she awakens;

He could also save Dong Chengling from the accident. If she hadn't had the accident, would the corresponding game experience have changed?

Rather than getting involved in the game himself, Ren Suo would rather observe the people around him and see if they were involved in the game. If he could influence them beforehand or even during the game, could he influence the game in turn?

Is it that the "fate" predicted by the small world game console cannot be violated, or is the "gravity" of reality heavier?
