Chapter 32 World
"Since you don't like it, I'll change to another style."
The instructor smiled and didn't take it seriously.
He reorganized his words and said, "Strange News Envoys usually do not appear in market cities. Their hiding place is in the belly of a whale called 'Chicanao'. There is a huge world hidden in the belly of this whale, and we generally call this world in the whale's belly - 'Whale Box Garden'."
Seeing Ji Minghuan drawing circles on the table with his fingers without saying anything, he continued:
"Just from the size of the whale, you can't guess how vast the world inside it is. There are a series of huge buildings in the whale's box garden: a sea city, a royal palace, and the royal family of the Strange News Messenger lives inside the palace."
Ji Minghuan's eyelids drooped, as if he was about to fall asleep.
He wondered, "I'm not interested in whether they live in the belly of a whale or a shark. Can you first tell me what a Curious Messenger is and what special abilities it has?"
The instructor said calmly: "Every Qiwen Envoy will awaken at a certain age and obtain his own 'Qiwen Atlas'. The Qiwen Atlas can help them find nearby Qiwen Secret Realms... and in the Secret Realms, there are Qiwen Fragments hidden. If they can conquer Qiwen with their own strength, then they will get the corresponding Qiwen Fragments."
He raised his hand to adjust his glasses and continued, "Through the atlas, they stimulated the strange power remaining in the fragments. This is their way of fighting."
"Right, can't we just get to the point?"
"I can't help it. I'm afraid you'll fall asleep."
Ji Minghuan rested his chin on his folded arms, slumped on the table like a puddle of mud.
He casually asked, "And then... what are the specific uses of those odd pieces of news that we picked up like garbage?"
"The fragments of strange stories are usually stored in the atlas by the strange story master. According to the strength of the fragments, they are generally divided into four levels: mythical level strange stories, generational level strange stories, popular level strange stories, and universal level strange stories."
The instructor paused for a moment. "Among them, the most powerful is the 'Mythical Tales'. As the name suggests, it is closely related to myths from all over the world. There are only a few 'Mythical Tales' in history. According to records, only the fragments of the following gods have appeared: Zeus, the chief of the gods, Yamata no Orochi, Ra, the god of the sun, Hades, the god of the underworld..."
"Oh, what about the 'generational' anecdotes that are a little bit lower?"
"You should have heard of most of the names of generation-level wonders: 'Santa Claus', 'Titanic', 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'... These wonders are classified as generation-level. Currently, the strongest among the wonder users are those who possess fragments of generation-level wonders. Each of them has the power to awaken history."
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and became a little interested.
He said, "Let's not talk about the well-known ones like 'Santa Claus' and 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'. Isn't 'Titanic' the ship that sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912? I remember it was later adapted into a love movie?"
The mentor nodded. "Yes, these things become 'odd stories' after being passed down by word of mouth. As long as there are odd stories, there will be fragments of them left behind, and the odd story messengers can extract the power of the odd stories from the fragments... It is no exaggeration to say that if a odd story messenger possesses a 'mythical' odd story fragment, it is equivalent to him gaining a part of the power of the ancient gods. It is only a matter of time before he wants to destroy a country."
"It sounds like these strange news messengers are more dangerous than me, right?"
"Let's not talk about the fact that there have been few wonders in history who can conquer 'mythical wonders'. Besides... there is a fundamental difference between the power to destroy the world and the power to destroy a country."
Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes: "So I am just born with bad luck."
"I hope you understand that we are here to help you."
As he spoke, the instructor crossed his arms and said in a more serious tone, "Only when we understand how your powers work, will you have a chance to leave here. For example, you are a nuclear bomb, and we need to find the 'launch' switch from your body. If we can't find the switch, then we can only seal you here. Otherwise, we can't guarantee that you will walk on the street one day and detonate yourself without warning, which will cause the deaths of thousands of innocent people."
At this point, his tone suddenly relaxed and became warm: "But if we can find the switch, it will be different. Things that can be controlled and things that cannot be controlled are definitely two different concepts."
"You make it sound like a nuclear bomb with a switch on is allowed to walk down the street."
"At least there's a chance... It's better than being locked up here forever, right?"
Ji Minghuan sighed: "Even if you say so, I don't know where the 'switch' is."
"So, our job is to keep wasting time with you here until we understand where the 'switch' in you is. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then we don't have any particularly good methods."
The instructor responded calmly.
"Who exactly are the 'we' you're talking about? I still don't know where you came from."
"This has to be kept secret from you for now."
"Aren't you members of the Alien Association?" Ji Minghuan asked tentatively.
"Wrong... Our work is far more dangerous and noble than that of the Abnormal Association. Similarly, we do not belong to the forces of the Stranger and the Exorcist."
Seeing that Ji Minghuan did not respond and just lowered his head in thought, the instructor slowly changed the subject:
"That's where I was just now. Right... I'll stop here with the story of the 'Strange News Envoy'."
[We have learned a series of key intelligence about the "Strange News World View".]
[Currently, the progress of the worldview development for the "Stranger" branch has changed: 1% → 30% (Due to the improvement of the development progress, the probability of generating a "Stranger" character with higher potential in the "Character Creation Phase" will also increase)]
Ji Minghuan glanced at the text on the panel and thought, "Wow... it jumped directly to 30% of the progress. It seems that the information given by the instructor was not a lie."
He couldn't wait to create a 'Strange News' character to test the waters. Although there were only two days, he was already a little bored with the character of Black Pupa, a psychic who played with a belt.
So Ji Minghuan looked up at his mentor and continued to try to get some words out of him:
"Now that we've finished talking about 'The Curious Messenger', what is 'The Exorcist'?"
There will be another update at 0:00 am tonight. The protagonist will create a second game character. If you haven't slept yet, you can wait and watch it before going to bed (
