Chapter 104: Awakened

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Huo’s mentality underwent a huge change. He felt that the three pirated items he had obtained in the Wang Family’s Instance Dungeon were a hint to an imposing figure.

Wei Huo could even imagine that after countless years, an imposing aura-level expert would be born among humans. He would successfully crack the Thinking Lock and find the game creator. He would plan to take revenge.

At that moment, the game creator would shout at the top of his lungs, “Although I betrayed mankind temporarily, I had no choice. I was threatened. Look, I left so many backdoors for humans just so that they could rise one day. Please, don’t kill me, okay?”

His desire to survive would be strong…

This was obvious based on the fact that someone in an imposing aura could cheat for three seconds.

Wei Huo left the Wang Family’s dungeon. He planned to go to school first. He felt that the Divine Realm might be destroyed soon. He wanted to gain more advanced knowledge and learn about advanced technology before that happened.

As soon as he arrived at the school gate, Wei Huo received a notification. “Pay 1,000 Divine Stones. Players will automatically study for a week. Players who study for the first time will receive the Learning Skill.”

Meanwhile, a parent brought a student to class. They walked in without paying any Divine Stones.

Was the game only targeting players?

Also, what does studying automatically for a week mean?

Wei Huo decided to give it a try. He paid 1,000 Divine Stones and a notification popped up. “You’ve been learning for a week and have acquired the Learning Skill.”

Wei Huo could not believe it. A week had passed? He checked the time, but it did not seem like it was there.

Was this why people said money was time?

Wei Huo wanted to break in but could not. A barrier blocked his way.

He checked the Learning Skill he had just obtained.

‘Learning, Level 0. Note: The higher one’s learning level is, the more they will understand blueprints. At the same time, this skill will increase the efficiency of other skill upgrades.’

When Wei Huo arrived at the gate of the high school, a notification popped up. “The player’s learning level is below level five. They can’t study in high school.”

At that moment, a teacher’s lecture was heard from the school. Wei Huo straightened up his ears to listen attentively. Are the teachers in this school serious?

The teacher said, “Take note of the term ‘Li Shizhen’. It’s not an adjective, but it can be used as an adjective. Sometimes it can be used as ‘Li Shizhen’s Skin’ or ‘Li Shizhen’s Show’ or ‘Li Shizhen’s Sliding’. At the same time, you can also say ‘Li Shizhen’s Grass’ and ‘Li Shizhen’s Hair’. Now, please use the term ‘Li Shizhen’ and take note of my requests. The term will be translated as a moving term.”

Wei Huo was confused. Is this what teachers teach in class?

At that moment, the teacher mentioned a name. “Little Ming, get up and form a sentence.”

Little Ming stood up and said in embarrassment, “Teacher, you’re really pretty.”

The teacher smiled in embarrassment. “Little Ming, although you’re telling the truth, you used the wrong method. ‘You’re really’ and ‘Li Shizhen’ are redundant. You have to take note during the exam. Although we don’t use it often in our lives, this is important knowledge.”

After a few hundred years, did this popular online term get out of hand?

The Divine Realm was filled with traditional culture in China. To be more specific, it seemed like the game creator wanted to express something and awaken some people.

Yes, Wei Huo could use the word ‘awaken’ to reach the imposing aura level. He could sense the presence of the Thinking Lock and even escape its control. That could be explained by the word ‘awaken’.

Wei Huo continued scrolling through the skill while he was deep in thought. It was not until he used up all his Divine Stones to hunt Epic-ranked creatures that he recalled that he had yet to complete a quest.

Wei Huo went to the Magical Beast Space and spent some time squatting down to catch a Void Overlord. He then went to the Card Market to look for the blind Master.

It was raining cats and dogs in the Divine Realm. There was no one at the market except for the Master. He stood quietly on the street, waiting for Wei Huo to return.

However, Wei Huo had forgotten…

It seemed like the Master wanted to take on Wei Huo as his disciple. He had waited for many days and had refused to leave even when it rained…

Wei Huo obtained a Skill Book after completing his quest. Upon studying it, he obtained the Manufacturing Skill of Normal-ranked cards.

The upper limit of this skill was level 20, and the skill introduction was very clear. After reaching level 20, the skill would automatically be upgraded to the Rare rank. That would probably reach level 20 as well. After reaching level 20, the skill would be upgraded to the Epic rank.

Upon obtaining the skill, Wei Huo spent his time in the Magical Beast Space. He hunted Normal-ranked Magical Beasts every day, created cards, and sold them for money before finally practicing his Learning Skill.

This kind of life was very interesting to him. He kept repeating the same thing and keeping himself busy without having any weird thoughts.

There were still many Normal-ranked magical beasts in the Magical Beast Space. After all, Epic-ranked beasts needed to hunt Rare-ranked ones, and Rare-ranked ones needed to hunt Normal-ranked ones. How could there not be so many Normal-ranked creatures at the bottom of the pyramid?

The card creation skill was upgraded very quickly. In just 30 days, it was upgraded to level 14.

On the 35th day, the first wave of Divine Beasts appeared. However, Wei Huo did not receive any notifications. The main reason he knew about it was because of the notification he had received 35 days ago. The Gods on the streets were also talking about it.

The Divine Realm, which had been peaceful for countless years, seemed about to welcome another war.

All the Gods were talking about it, and their minds were locked. They seemed to be really worried about this incident.

“Is the Divine Realm really going to be destroyed?”

“Can the three Heavenly Gods defeat the Divine Beast armies?”

“Can we survive?”

The Divine Realm was filled with sorrow and despair.

At that moment, some Gods came back from the human world.

They were Gods who had undergone micro-modifications in the human world. According to the time ratio of 100 days in the Divine Realm, these Gods should have been working in the human world for 45 years.

On their way back, the Gods started complaining. “I’m so tired. I have to adjust to so many places…”

Another God said, “We don’t have much time left. We have a total of 200 years. We have to end this slight adjustment. It seems like Adventurers will arrive then.”

Wei Huo was shocked. This was the first time he heard the word ‘Adventurer’. Did the term ‘Adventurers’ refer to humans? Or were they real players?

Wei Huo returned to the Magical Beast Space and continued killing Normal-ranked Magical Beasts, creating cards, and practicing his Learning Skill.

At the same time, his soul continued shrinking and condensing.
