Noah

[Latest News] Tomorrow is 515, the starting point's anniversary, the day with the most benefits. In addition to gift packs and book bags, this time's '515 Red Envelope Frenzy' is definitely a must-see. There's no reason not to grab red envelopes, so set your alarm~

Of course, Ronan didn't die.

He wasn't the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for the lives of others, especially since the little girl, who wasn't entirely bad-hearted, didn't like him at all. He had even less reason to sacrifice his life for Wei Wei.

It was just that many things he had to do couldn't see the light of day, so he could only use various methods to cover them up.

For example, a sudden mudslide in a desolate valley during a heavy rain.

When the Li Family headquarters received that report, they were somewhat surprised by Ronan's good luck—a mudslide?

How long had it been since such a natural disaster occurred in Bo Ning District?

And as soon as it appeared, it claimed the lives of three B-level assassins from the Rose Blood Knights?

And yet, that kid survived because he hid behind a huge rock, avoiding the first terrifying impact? So much so that when Chi Feng and Xiao Long, two renowned battle gods in the Emerald Star Region, found Ronan, only his lower body was buried in the mud.

At that time, Wei Wei in the mecha had fainted from excessive fright and didn't know that Ronan had been rescued.

Everyone was marveling at Ronan's good luck.

Ronan himself also looked like he had survived a disaster. With Xiao Long's help, he safely returned to Yi Lin Manor. No one noticed that the ancient pocket watch in his pocket occasionally flickered with a faint green light.

A simple, small-scale Turn Stone to Mud spell, combined with the heavy rain, could indeed easily bury three fragile humans—even if they were proficient in all assassination methods in the human world.

But unfortunately, this was a wizard's method!

Although Ronan didn't know his wizard level, after years of secretly meditating, he had at least reached the Wizard Apprentice level as defined by the Wizard Alliance. Coupled with the natural environment providing him with the best casting conditions, the success rate of this spell was almost 100%!

Of course, for Ronan, the biggest gain wasn't killing the three assassins and successfully escaping.

It was that high-quality Primal Stone.

To escape Crescent Prison, Noah had consumed almost all of its energy, so much so that when operating the spaceship, Ronan had to do it himself. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been caught by the Luo family's spaceship.

And to reactivate Noah, they had to have sufficient energy.

In this universe, the basis of all energy is Primal Stone.

Although the Earl's family controlled the industry of mining and processing Primal Stone, it was still extremely difficult for Ronan to obtain a high-quality Primal Stone.

Speaking of which, Ronan had to thank the people who planned this ambush.

Yi Lin Manor wouldn't care about the lost Primal Stone—in Ronan's words, the Primal Stone used to attract the assassins was thrown deep in the valley and had long been buried by the mudslide. No one would verify such a thing.

Earl Will's only concern was the safety of Ronan and Wei Wei.

And the upcoming storm in Bo Ning District was not something that children like Ronan and Wei Wei could get involved in.

Ronan was told that it was best not to leave Yi Lin Manor for two weeks.

Occasionally, some news came from the servants, also about the progress of the investigation by the elite agents of the Investigation Bureau regarding this assassination attempt.

For example, several more Rose Blood Knight informants were caught, two strongholds of this assassination organization in the Emerald Star Region were rooted out, and three security supervisors in Bo Ning District resigned due to the incident; two of them were found to have committed suicide by poisoning themselves in their rooms the next day... and so on.

Even if Ronan didn't leave the house, he could feel the heavy atmosphere in the manor.

One could imagine how turbulent the undercurrents outside the manor were.

This hidden struggle between the Earl and the Li Family had reached its most intense moment, so it was normal for the Earl not to let him go out.

Ronan was happy with this. After the doctor checked his body and found no major problems, he stayed indoors.

He was originally a quiet person. The Earl had arranged a secluded residence for him in the manor, secretly guarded by experts all around.

After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras inside the room, Ronan began his daily cultivation.

Night slowly descended.

For others, night was a time for rest.

But for Ronan, night was the best time for him to diligently cultivate.

He drew the curtains, closed the door tightly, and the room was pitch black.

But the Night Vision spell his mother personally solidified for him allowed him to see everything in the room clearly.

He sat quietly on the bed and opened the pocket watch.

His mother's smile appeared in his eyes as always.

Then came a mischievous voice: "Long time no see, little lunatic."

Ronan smiled softly: "Long time no see, old lunatic."

The old lunatic's real name was Noah, who claimed to be the greatest intelligent life in the universe, having lived for countless years. Ronan remembered clearly that this pocket watch was given to him by his mother herself when he was one month old.

And on the day he entered Crescent Prison, the pocket watch suddenly activated automatically, and Noah's voice sounded in the depths of his soul for the first time, which scared him quite a bit at the time.

Whether it was Earth or this magnificent star river world, Noah's existence was incredible.

In the data world, he held the supreme position of a king; and elsewhere, his wisdom also shocked Ronan, who had lived two lives. Although the old lunatic claimed to have been severely injured and lost many memories, even now, he was an almost bug-like existence.

Being able to shield all surveillance and firewall measures in an area of Crescent Prison by himself, something that even top hacker teams couldn't do, if this were to spread, this seemingly unremarkable pocket watch would probably be sliced and studied by the people in the research institute.

And after receiving the Primal Stone energy replenishment from the Expeller, Noah finally regained some vitality.

In the darkness, a faint green light screen slowly unfolded before Ronan.

In a way, Noah was like a terminal for an intelligent computer, though his functions extended far beyond that.

Ronan asked softly, "After absorbing that Primal Stone, how much energy have you recovered?"

A number popped up on the pale green screen, and a vein throbbed slightly on Ronan's forehead.

[12%]

This number left him very dissatisfied!

"Such a high-quality Primal Stone can only provide 12% energy? I highly suspect you're holding back. Old lunatic, this is no joke. I need an exact figure."

Ronan said seriously.

Noah said disdainfully, "That stone you gave me has been used for a long time. The Primal Force inside was already mostly depleted. What more could you expect? I've told you countless times, I don't know the exact figure, but if you really want me to evolve to the second stage, you'll need at least a Primal Stone mine as a base!"

The corner of Ronan's mouth twitched slightly. Although it wasn't the first time he'd heard this, it gave him a headache every time. Primal Stone mines in this world were basically already exploited and explored. Only with an imperial license could one openly mine. Unless he risked a death sentence by venturing into the asteroid belt or the Bewildering Starfield, it was almost impossible.

But the problem was, Ronan needed Noah to advance.

The current Noah could shield the surveillance and firewalls of Crescent Prison, but he couldn't destroy or even control them!

He needed more.

Because there were many things waiting for him to do in Crescent Prison.

"I understand."

Ronan thought for a moment and finally said this. There was always a way.

"Undo all my seals, and scan me while you're at it. I want to know my exact current strength."

At Ronan's command, a pale green light slowly swept over his body. In a moment, a large amount of data flashed across the green screen:

[Ronan]

[Age: 16 Bloodline: Wizard/Human]

[Basic Attributes: Strength 35 / Agility 46 / Constitution 32 / Reflexes 47 / Spirit 90]

[Advanced Attributes: Metabolism 35 / Meditation Speed 77]

[Martial Arts: Eleven Arts (Third Layer) / Thorn Flower Sword Art (?)]

[Mechanical Operation: Basic Theory Mastery / Intermediate Theory Mastery / Practice?]

Seeing all this, Ronan was somewhat dissatisfied. "Why is my Mechanical Operation Practice still a question mark?"
