S-Rank Talent - Sword Immortal!

"Is this lollipop the same as the one you had before?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly.

"Yes! No, I can't talk to you!" The little girl nodded, then turned her head away again.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong last time. This time, I'll treat you to an ice cream, one that costs over 100 yuan." Chen Luo handed the little girl an ice cream with a very unique flavor.

"Is it that expensive? That's enough to buy three limited edition lollipops." The little girl was a bit surprised.

Surprised, she looked up at her mother, seeking her opinion.

"Sure," the young and beautiful woman nodded.

Since the ice cream was Chen Luo's way of apologizing, it's fine to accept it.

The little girl and Chen Luo live in the same place, so a 100-yuan popsicle is nothing to them.

That's why the little girl can afford the limited edition lollipops that cost 100 yuan for three.

"By the way, Luo, could you try to persuade her to stop eating that lollipop? She's already eaten enough today. Especially now that she's eating an ice cream too." The young woman said with some concern after seeing Chen Luo and her daughter make up again.

"???" Chen Luo looked up at the young woman with a blank expression.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Little Loli's Lollipop]: Tell Xiao Lin not to eat this lollipop.

Reward: 5 Primogem

Difficulty: Minor

"..." Doesn't your conscience hurt?

She actually made me steal her lollipop again?

"Ooh!" When the little girl heard her mother say this, she quickly unwrapped the lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth, which was still full of ice cream.

Even if I die today, I will never let Chen Luo take this lollipop away from me!

"Whispering sound!"

Too slow!

Chen Luo had just been vehemently criticizing the task but had accepted it anyway, regretted his lack of decisiveness.

5 Primogem are gone.

Looks like I'll have to be quicker next time.

The little girl has learned her lesson; it's not so easy to snatch lollipops anymore.

Oh, wait, the mission didn't say you had to steal it.

However, this was the first time Chen Luo had tried to complete a mission but failed before even starting. In the past, mission failures usually occurred because Chen Luo didn't want to take on the mission, but this time was different.

Chen Luo accepted the task this time, but did not complete it.

This is the first time the mission has failed.

He had beaten dragons and slain demons, but in the end, he lost to a little girl.

Well!

"Sigh!" the young woman sighed.

Chen Luo looked up and saw the young woman looking at him with a sigh.

The little girl and her mother are ordinary people, so Chen Luo's Herrscher of Knowledge can easily read her mind.

The little girl's thoughts are perfectly normal; she just doesn't want Chen Luo to take her lollipop away again.

And the young woman's thoughts...

"Why was Aro so slow to snatch the lollipop this time? Even if it gets snatched, it's still better than Xiao Lin eating it."

"???"

Something's not right with you.

So, your solution is also to steal it?

What kind of strange thought process does a 90s generation have when it comes to raising children?

"Alright, alright, no need to rush. Why would your brother take your lollipop? Last time it was just because I was in a hurry to get home. It was an emergency." Chen Luo said, affectionately patting the little girl's head.

"Really?" the little girl asked uncertainly after taking the lollipop out of her mouth.

"Really." Chen Luo nodded, while looking at the lollipop.

I wonder if taking the lollipop that the other person has been sucking on now counts as completing the mission?

However, the mission has already failed.

Pity...

"Chen Luo, do you really want a lollipop? In exchange for this ice cream, I'll give you another lollipop." Seeing Chen Luo's longing look at the lollipop she had already eaten, the little girl thought for a moment and then took out another lollipop from her pocket.

An identical lollipop.

"Xiao Lin, didn't you say that the lollipop we just had was the last one?" the young woman exclaimed.

"This is something my dad secretly gave me. He said I couldn't let my mom know..." The little girl's voice trailed off.

"Mom, you won't tell Dad, right?"

"Ahem, of course, since you gave this lollipop to your brother Chen Luo, I won't mention this to your father," the young woman said with a forced smile.

[Just find some excuse to make him kneel on the keyboard later.]

From a generally rational perspective, this did not mention the little girl lollipop.

However, from a generally rational perspective, the little girl's father was still punished.

After giving the lollipop to Chen Luo, the little girl ate her ice cream and continued shopping with her mother.

"Sigh, a lollipop worth five Primogem." Chen Luo sighed as he looked at the lollipop in his hand.

Yes, I'll remember this grudge for the mission failure!

As Chen Luo passed by the "single dog resentment" statue with a bag of ice cream, he saw a man and a woman, who appeared to Talent User, holding a compass and pacing back and forth near the statue.

"Hiss, this doesn't make sense. How could it just disappear?" A boy holding a compass stared at the completely still compass, lost in thought.

"Junior sister, are you sure he's talking about this place? Why haven't we seen any ghosts or strange reactions here?"

Although the two people appeared to be openly talking in public, they were actually speaking in a way that only those with spiritual or magical powers could hear.

"It must be the right place, and the other party probably didn't make a mistake either. After all, the B-rank Talent, Yin-Yang Eyes, is quite credible. Now that it's disappeared, it was probably eliminated by some passing Talent User. After all, judging from the description, it was only the lowest level of an anomaly."

"Looks like we came all this way for nothing. Hmm?" The man, who was probably the senior brother, suddenly looked in Chen Luo's direction as he watched the spiritual energy disc suddenly start spinning.

Seeing the man looking at him, Chen Luo took out an ice cream from the bag and handed it to him from a distance.

After seeing the man shake his head, Chen Luo continued walking out of the building.

Just as Chen Luo could sense the spiritual power on the other party, the other party holding the spiritual power disc could naturally sense the spiritual power on Chen Luo as well.

However, even if it is discovered that the other party is Talent User or a cultivator in Xinghai City, they will not make a fuss about it.

In the early stages of the Spiritual Energy Revival, everyone is poor, so there's naturally not much to kill or plunder.

Unlike Talent User like Chen Luo, the other party should be a cultivator.

It was quite a surprise for Chen Luo to see a cultivator.

Judging from the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the other party, they are quite accomplished in their cultivation. Defeating a newly awakened A-rank Talent User would be no problem for them.

But it has only just awakened.

"A B-rank Talent, Yin-Yang Eyes. What an unlucky talent!" Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Just like how a mage's talent might curse them with poor physical constitution.

The Yin-Yang Eyes talent allows one to see things that others cannot, things that even ordinary Talent User cannot see.

The price to pay is the lack of beginner benefits like spiritual energy cultivation; if you want to cultivate, you have to find cultivation techniques.

This means that before cultivating the techniques, one can only see many strange things, but has no ability to deal with them.

In order to avoid being haunted by the supernatural, one can only selectively ignore those supernatural beings and prevent them from realizing that they can see each other.

In short, it's just bad luck.

Chapter 381 S-rank Talent - Sword Immortal!

"Don't be discouraged, students. Life is full of disappointments. You will encounter all sorts of hardships as you live. Betting on football is harmful. Stay away from the World Cup. There is no predicament that you can't overcome in life. Those past hardships will only make you more brilliant in the future."

"Don't be discouraged, students. Life's troubles..."

When Chen Luo was riding his two-wheeled wind-powered bicycle home, he passed a tall building and heard this sentence being repeated over and over again.

"Huh? Someone jumped off a building?" Upon hearing this news, Chen Luo stopped the car and looked in that direction.

It is well known that Chinese people love watching a spectacle.

However, Chen Luo was different from those who were just there to watch the excitement. Chen Luo was thinking about whether he could take advantage of a commission, or rather, whether he could help someone out for fun.

While eating the chocolate-flavored snack specially made for the Demon, he looked towards the tall buildings over there.

With Chen Luo's intentions, he could naturally see a young girl standing on the roof of a building about 20 stories high, holding onto the railing and looking down at her feet.

Below the building, a policeman was shouting through a megaphone.

However, the other party's shouts seemed somewhat repetitive, and the emotions weren't quite there.

"Hmm? Why is it our school uniform?" Chen Luo noticed something interesting.

Chen Luo spotted the other person's school uniform from afar.

Chen Luo's school uniforms were quite exquisite, but only the girls' uniforms were more exquisite; the boys' uniforms were just something to be used casually.

It is said that this was the principal's wish, and although many parents opposed this discrimination, nothing came of it in the end.

So it's not uncommon to see female students wearing school uniforms when they go out. Although it might seem a little strange, it's understandable during the school year.

Since there's time to change into school uniforms, it's better to play a little longer.

The problem is that it's summer vacation now.

"How many days have passed since summer vacation started? How can anyone be wearing a school uniform out in public? I can't understand it!"

Wearing school uniforms during the school year is understandable, but who would wear a school uniform during a holiday?

"Hmm, wait a minute, this person... seems to have spiritual energy fluctuations around him." Chen Luo squinted at the person on the rooftop.

If it were just a simple suicide attempt, there are now air cushions installed at the bottom of the building. Unless the person deliberately chooses a difficult angle to jump from, or jumps out of the air cushion's protection range with tremendous force, the other person would be fine.

But once spiritual energy is involved, things get really serious.

The first thing to do is to determine whether the other party is being controlled by any special abilities.

Some ghosts and strange abilities are like that.

From Chen Luo's perspective, at least, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the other party were quite weak.

Talent User. If you were to convert him into a cultivator, he'd probably just started cultivating and only have some spiritual energy fluctuations on him.

Out of caution, Chen Luo subconsciously used the Fate Threads ability to observe the other party's fate.

Whether the Fate Threads ability can be effective depends on the comparison of strength. If the opponent is just starting to cultivate or a D-level or C-rank Talent Holder, it is easy to see the opponent's short-term fate.

Then...

"Unobservable?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then turned and left.

"Tsk, I've run into someone who's pretending to be weak but actually strong. At least an A-rank Talent User." Chen Luo pedaled his bicycle home.

Just now, Chen Luo tried to observe using her Fate Threads ability, and she did see something. At least she could tell that the other party was very strong and that someone was covering up the secrets for her.

You can see the other person's Threads of Destiny, but you can't tell anything from that Threads of Destiny, or what the other person will do in the future.

That's roughly what it's called.

In short, it's impossible to predict the other person's fate.

The opponent is definitely very strong.
