Fooled (Continued)

"Three minors are in spirit, and two minors are in agility."

Choosing the "Spiritual Enhancement" option strengthens one's resilience to divination power, while choosing "Agility" increases stealth.

The method for promotion was actually learned from the Insect Blood Society a long time ago; it's quite simple.

Ingest a physically lethal poison and attempt to communicate with a truly transcendent object. Treat this object as a transcendent being and sacrifice yourself to it, requesting that the transcendent object to punish you.

No matter what the punishment is, it makes no difference to Ye Qian.

After thinking about it, I still choose... [Screaming Red Lips].

Ye Qian had never used this thing in battle because she herself was traumatized by it, but it had helped her advance in her career more than once.

In this effortless way, the ears of all five bodies simultaneously appreciate the "melody" and offer a joint sacrifice.

And the punishment that [Screaming Red Lips] truly brought down was... having that terrifying sound echo in your ears for a whole day.

Then, the five Cannon Fodder Misses covered their ears in despair, and just when they were about to break through, they broke through.

She quickly drank the Water of Purification and it took her quite a while to fully recover.

"It was such a hassle."

Having sensed the power of the World Caster, she was somewhat satisfied.

The abilities of the World Caster are relatively specialized:

[Detection Block (Concealment): If one's secondary cultivation is Intelligence, it creates a boundary of extraordinary power, blocking mental abilities such as divination from observation (if one's secondary cultivation is Agility, it conceals oneself, making divination even harder to detect).]

[Edge Domain: Creates a mystical domain around oneself, making everything within its range more easily perceived. The domain will receive bonuses based on the caster's own characteristics.]

[Stabilization: Strengthens skin resilience, enhances mental and emotional states; secondary cultivation of intelligence can improve the ability to detect mystical forces (secondary cultivation of agility will improve physical flexibility).]

[Barrier (Profession Trait): Possesses a strong mental barrier, providing a certain degree of resilience against mental damage.]

If the secondary attribute is constitution, then they do have a certain ability to withstand physical damage. However, given the low attributes of the Cannon Fodder Misses, their task is to block divination for Ye Qian and her clone and hide themselves.

"That should be about right."

These five people were specially selected to form a new group— the Anti-Divination Squad.

"With the [Stone of Hidden Barrier] I bought from the Black Gold Secret Society for 120 Purple Crystal Coin before, I should now be able to deal with the divination of certain forces."

Ye Qian's first step was to use one of the Cannon Fodder Misses who was a support to add a layer of concealment to her entire body.

Because the power is spread out widely, the actual effect is weak, and to conserve power, Miss Anti-Divination No. 1 only uses half of her ability. Her role is more like a sensory awareness; once a boundary is triggered, Miss Anti-Divination No. 1 can immediately sense it.

"That's fine for now. We can focus on breaking through the other bodies as things go."

Ye Qian felt that with so many Demon Clones to serve as the main fighting force, there was no need to rush the subsequent Black Iron advancement.

"I did know a while ago that the Blood Cherry Society had designs on me and there was a possibility of them targeting me. I need to be careful about that too."

Having finished her promotion and reflecting on Dusk current state, Ye Qian let out a long sigh.

"The next step is to figure out the breakthrough method for Mithril Rank."

Logically speaking, the process should be simpler than for ordinary people to reach Black Iron, because the promotion step is omitted, and only a ceremony is needed to achieve it naturally.

"Even the breakthrough information at the Black Iron Rank took me so long to obtain from the [Eye of Ritual]. I really don't know where to get the subsequent information."

Ye Qian's first thought was to continue cracking down on the Fading Lamp Society.

This faction has Mithril Rank experts, so it's possible to obtain them with a little effort.

However, considering that the Holy See and they were already in fierce conflict at this time, it would be acceptable to take action after some time if the other side had not been eliminated.

At this moment, Ye Qian No. 2 is leisurely staying in the Transcendental Academy.

She has received a notice of class transfer and will now be studying with the teachers of her original Class A.

Regardless of whether she moves around here or not, she won't have any trouble for a while, since Norton's mission can be delayed for a long time.

Leaning against the wall in my dorm room, I took out my phone, and a call came in from the other end.

"It's actually Lin Qingyan?"

We've been chatting occasionally lately, and it's clear that the other person has wanted to see me more than once, but I've always made excuses to avoid it.

After this connection was established...

"Ye Qian".

"Um, is there something you need?"

The cute girl's voice came from Ye Qian's side.

"Ha... I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, that you're a cute girl." The other person said jokingly, then changed their tone and said, "I guess I'll be going to study at a school in the capital."

"The capital?" Ye Qian immediately sat up from her chair, pulling her legs, which had been resting against the window, back down. "You're actually transferring to a school that far away?"

Generally speaking, one would only do this if they went to a better school.

Did you move?

Is there some connection that allows me to attend a better secondary school?

"My father's acquaintance helped me transfer there; I heard it's a very good school."

"I see."

Looks like we're not old acquaintances.

"I... Ye Qian, do you want to go to school in the capital? I can help you figure out a way to go together."

"Emmm..."

Am I going to have to transfer schools again?

Looking at the Transcendental Academy she was in, Ye Qian thought about Norton's mission and wondered if she should take the risk and complete it directly.

The capital city is the political center of the Kingdom of Order, and it might even help me advance to a higher level. Developing there would be a good idea.

"By the way, I could ask Norton how to advance to the Mithril Rank."

After this thought flashed through her mind, Lin Qingyan on the other side quickly said, "This is a great opportunity, Ye Qian."

"Emmmm... when?" Ye Qian asked, puzzled.

"One month later."

"In that case, tell me which school you want to transfer to. Maybe I have some connections."

"Oh, really? That's Capital School."

"No problem."

It's much easier to get into a regular high school than Transcendental Academy. Norton managed to get her into this place, so naturally her future new school will be the same.

"Don't underestimate me."

"I see."

Lin Qingyan hummed in agreement; after all, Ye Qian was still quite mysterious to her.

The other party is someone in that circle, so it's not surprising that they have such abilities.

"Okay, I'm hanging up now, bye-bye."

After ending the call, Ye Qian glanced at the number on her phone and began to consider her next plan.

"We should think about that thing."

The Elemental Core.

My mission at the Transcendental Academy.

According to Norton's original advice, the best approach was to infiltrate the academy and gain the trust of certain individuals, which would make things easier.

The item is in the storage room. Judging from the conversation, it is very difficult for me to obtain it with my current strength (God-Forbidden), but it is not absolutely impossible. Otherwise, Norton would not have given me the task.

Ye Qian put on her slippers, walked to the table next to her, and scanned the QR code on it with her phone. A campus map appeared on the screen.

"The school has three storage rooms. If the elemental core is very important, it is unlikely to be placed near the outside of the school. So the only possibility is the largest one, which is located in the middle of the school."

Anyway, Ye Qian's physical appearance is definitely not something that can be used.

"Let's go scout out the location first. We have plenty of time, no need to rush."

Ye Qian took a deep breath, took a step, and headed towards her destination.

Using her clones located in all directions, she circled the storage room, using the Mystic Thread to examine almost the entire interior, but found no trace of an Elemental Core.

There are extraordinary items, but they don't seem to have anything to do with what I'm looking for.

"Isn't this the storage room?"

Ye Qian thought about it and did not rule out the possibility that the items had been moved.

"If all else fails, we'll just create a clone to sneak in."

Having recently gained some experience in Human Skin Mask, she strolled around the campus for a while and soon her gaze fell on a petite girl.

Wearing a school uniform skirt, she looked particularly good, with a youthful appearance.

After comparing herself with her clone, Ye Qian quickly found a cannon fodder body that was similar in size to the other party.

Without much thought, Alice Weaver activated her ability, directly plunging the opponent into a dream.

The scene in the dream was just like reality, and the girl was completely unaware of what was happening.

Then Ye Qian No. 2 changed her appearance in the dream, and while doing so, put on a Cognitive Barrier, and went up to talk to the beautiful girl.

In reality, the girl happened to walk to the location corresponding to her dream, a deserted grove of trees.

Ye Qian No. 2 ran over and picked her up in a princess carry, instantly teleporting her to another world.

"Done."

Clapping her hands, Miss World Group G6 in the Kalu World looked at her opponent, who was completely powerless to resist, and couldn't help but have an idea:

"Such a beautiful girl, if she disappears without a trace and is abducted by some Weaver, wouldn't there be no way to help her?"

The thought of this illusory reality made her wonder if similar things were happening all the time.

"I'm glad I'm a good person." Miss G6 sighed, preparing to change the other person's clothes and Cannon Fodder Clone.

More than ten minutes later, on campus.

The Cannon Fodder Clone, Miss F222, who looks very much like this girl, has put on the corresponding Human Skin Mask and changed into the girl's clothes.

Looking into the mirror, she deliberately acted cute and couldn't help but laugh at the person inside.

"I'm much prettier than her now, there's absolutely no need for me to be envious."

Using her identity as a young girl, Miss F222 went straight to the front of the storage room building, and then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, went inside.

Consuming Life Energy, the Mystic Thread began to curve underground.

Nothing was found, but the perceptive F222 still noticed the problem.

Her line didn't actually penetrate deep underground; instead, it was guided in another direction by a strange force. Although she sensed the line was moving downwards, from the perspective of other Mystic Thread, the line itself was heading towards the underground outside the building, not inside.

"What's going on here? Is this also a cognitive... Barrier?"

This was the first time Ye Qian had encountered something like this.

If you don't look at it from a different perspective, you really won't notice this situation.

"In that case, we need to actively look for a way down."

Ye Qian began walking along the corridor inside the building.

There was no one around, and it seemed that no students would voluntarily walk this way.

Every door along the way was tightly shut.

She soon arrived at the stairs.

"Sure enough, there is a path leading down."

The Mystic Thread was drawn here.

At close range, Ye Qian didn't actually feel any pull; it was more as if she had moved the line away on her own.

"Has my perception been distorted?"
