Sparkle and Bronya's Paths of Ability [Second Update]

Sparkle definitely has spies around Tingyun, and Ji Yuan has no intention of hiding it from them.

The call went through very quickly.

When Tingyun heard Ji Yuan call her, her voice, filled with surprise and anticipation, rang out.

"Ji Yuan, where are you?"

"We'll be there soon; we've already gone halfway."

"Really? Then you'd better hurry up, or we'll have to attack." Tingyun's tone was slightly smug.

"Shoot it up?"

Ji Yuan asked Tingyun unexpectedly.

Tingyun said proudly, "Yes, when we first came underground, the 'Earthfire' organization, the wanderers, and those machines were all fighting each other, it was quite chaotic. But thanks to the combined efforts of me and Doctor Natasha, the leader of the 'Earthfire' organization, almost all the forces underground have now come together. If you hadn't come soon, we would have had to start a war against the above."

Ji Yuan patted his head.

He had almost forgotten that Tingyun was the representative of the [Resonant Flame] merchant group, and in some ways, a master of manipulating people's hearts. With the addition of that 'Earth Fire' leader, subduing others shouldn't be too difficult.

However, he still reminded me, "You must be careful. Let me go first, don't take any risks."

"Okay, whatever you say. It just so happens that I've been getting treatment for my neck at Doctor Natasha's clinic these past few days. I've been thinking about it a lot, and my neck has been a bit uncomfortable for a while. Luckily, Doctor Natasha knows some treatment methods, so I'll get it treated properly and see if there's any difference compared to what Bailu is going through."

Tingyun wholeheartedly agreed with Ji Yuan's words.

"Um."

Ji Yuan chatted with Tingyun for a while before hanging up the phone.

Listening to his conversation from behind, Bronya became even more skeptical of Sparkle's words.

Ji Yuan is gentle and kind to everyone, and he doesn't seem like the type to experiment on people.

Just as she was thinking this, two company members appeared in the passage. Upon seeing Ji Yuan, they immediately said, "Mr. Ji Yuan, the experimental equipment and ship have been inspected and there are no signs of damage. You can safely place them on the planet for use."

Upon hearing this, Bronya immediately dispelled her doubts.

The experimental equipment for a spaceship—how many experiments are going to be conducted on it!

Chapter 158 The Direction of Sparkle and Bronya's Abilities [Second Update]

Bronya remembered very clearly that Ji Yuan was a life science expert, and his experiments could only have been aimed at Jarilo's life.

What a terrifying person.

Looking at the gentle and kind boy in front of others, Bronya couldn't help but swallow.

He's either an excellent actor, or he simply doesn't see Belobog as a human being. Either way, it's extremely frightening.

Suppressing her fear, Bronya tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

It cannot be exposed.

Ji Yuan returned to his cabin. Large banquets weren't suitable on the spaceship, so Ruan Mei and the others had already finished their meal and left. The company's chef had prepared a feast for Ji Yuan and his group.

"Here, have a taste. If there's anything you don't like, I'll ask the chef on the Xianzhou to change it."

To cater to Ji Yuan and the others, the cooks on the spaceship prepared food in the style of the Xianzhou.

"Don't worry, I'm really looking forward to Xianzhou Cuisine."

Sparkle smiled and picked up some food with her chopsticks to start eating.

Her hometown also uses chopsticks, and their eating style is somewhat similar to that of Xianzhou, so there was naturally no problem eating there.

Bronya, on the other hand, clumsily tried to use chopsticks Sparkle, and it took her a long time to finally put a piece of meat into her mouth. Although the process was difficult, the moment the food entered her mouth, she couldn't help but feel a burst of deliciousness from her mouth.

Surrounded by winter snow, Belobog had an extremely limited supply of food, both in quantity and variety, which was incomparable to the food on the spaceship.

"If these people went to Belobog not for experiments but for trade, that would be wonderful."

Bronya said.

Beside her, watching Sparkle use chopsticks with even more skill than she did, Sushang asked Sparkle curiously, "Where are you from? Your movements are so skillful."

"This is a secret."

Sparkle gently waved her finger in response.

He even turned his gaze to Ji Yuan, who was eating on the side, and asked him, "I heard that you modified the Matrix of Prescience, Ji Yuan. I wonder if you can guess my name? Do you want me to give you a hint?"

As she said this, she put down her chopsticks and stood up. She was petite and light, so she didn't eat much. Now that she was full, she sat on the bar counter next to the restaurant, swinging her legs back and forth in the air.

Upon seeing Sparkle's reaction, Sushang immediately said to Ji Yuan, "Brother—"

When in doubt, call your brother.

[You and members of the Masked Fool, who have been behind the scenes manipulating numerous major events in the universe, dined with Sparkle, a theatrical master recognized by Aha. The system rewards you with theatrical makeup skills.]

Um!?

Ji Yuan felt the sense of accomplishment he had gained in his mind, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Is this short woman in front of me a believer in pleasure? No wonder she's so eager to cause trouble.

Looking at the Sparkle, Ji Yuan also felt a bit of a headache.

The Masked Fool are masters of causing trouble; every time they appear, it means chaos is brewing in the area.

It's really hard to tell if this guy is friend or foe, or even if he's a friend one second and an enemy the next. Their main focus is on having fun; they prioritize their own happiness above all else.

This is also in line with the star god Aha they worship.

That guy, Aha, can pour all his power into an insect for the sake of pleasure. Similarly, he'll give a lot of power to the anti-pleasure Mournful Actors, while just watching the Masked Fool cause trouble without offering any help. Everything is for the sake of pleasure.

Ji Yuan discovered something interesting: Aha had high hopes for Sparkle, but he didn't give her the power to become Emanator.

Sushang looked at him with expectant eyes, while Sparkle looked at him with a provocative look in her eyes.

Of course, Ji Yuan felt that it was highly unlikely that he was truly provoking them.

He glanced at Sparkle, then patted Sushang on the shoulder. "Alright, Sushang, stop provoking Miss Sparkle. After all, the Masked Fool can be quite unpleasant when he plays pranks on you."

"Oh my, oh my, it seems your divination skills are truly remarkable. Okay, I admit I'm a member of the Masked Fool." Sparkle, seeing Ji Yuan's expression, realized he wasn't bluffing her. Shrugging, she jumped off the chair and moved closer to Ji Yuan.

Upon hearing that she Masked Fool, Sushang and Bronya both looked at her with surprise.

Just as she was feeling this surprise, Sparkle moved closer to Ji Yuan, sat on his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck, asking, "So? How are you going to treat me?"

This was the first time she had personally taken action, and it was quite interesting to observe others up close like this.

"Of course..." Ji Yuan reached out and lifted Sparkle's chin with his finger. "Let's see if we can fool the Masked Fool."

"Others usually avoid us like the plague, so it's rare to see someone like you daring to come up to us."

Sparkle then picked up Ji Yuan's finger, put it directly in her mouth, and licked it a few times as if she were licking an ice pop.

"Come on, let's see how much fun you can bring me, little scientist."

Sparkle then left Ji Yuan's lap and walked towards the lounge.

"Once we get to Jarilo, should I take you to meet your girlfriend first? Ouch, ouch, ouch! Who is this? What are you doing?"

She was initially very happy, but then a figure suddenly appeared, pinned Sparkle down, and started beating her.

Hmm, this sounds like something my teacher, Jingliu, would do.

No matter what the Masked Fool is up to, I'll beat you up first.

If Ji Yuan hadn't clearly needed her, Jingliu would probably have killed her directly.

There's a generally accepted rule in the universe: if you encounter the Masked Fool in your actions, it's best to kill him if possible. Only a dead Masked Fool won't interfere with your plans.

Meanwhile, Bronya stared in disbelief at the situation.

"Don't worry, my teacher is only targeting the Masked Fool. By the way, Miss Bronya, what brings you here?"

Ji Yuan asked Bronya.

"I... I don't know either. I was just brought here by her. As for the debt issue, I'll need to discuss it with my mother later."

She was quite certain that Ji Yuan was an evil scientist, but now that she knows Sparkle is the Masked Fool, she has begun to have doubts again.

She can't tell the difference at all now.

"Well, let's wait until we get there before we talk about it."

Ji Yuan understood this perfectly, so he didn't say anything more.

By this time, Bronya had finished eating, and Ji Yuan immediately arranged for company staff to prepare accommodation for her.

At the same time, the system's voice appeared in my mind.

The meaning of scattered ears is scattered nine.

[You and Bronya Rand, the greatest guardian of Beloberg, who led the planet out of the cold, rebuilt its home, and made Yalilo-VI a famous planet in the galaxy, have dinner together. The system rewards you with Bronya's encouraging words.]

A series of encouraging and inspiring words appeared in Ji Yuan's mind, which he could use during his speech.

This was just an ordinary banquet, so the achievements that could be made were naturally limited.

If you really want to achieve more, you'll have to take more from her.

Bronya isn't particularly strong physically, but her leadership and motivational abilities are exceptional. Ji Yuan wants to save his life; on one hand, he needs to improve his own strength, and on the other hand, he wants to gather more people to protect him. This is where Bronya's abilities become very useful.

Sparkle became much more obedient after being beaten up by Jingliu.

He wanted to take revenge on Jingliu, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

On one hand, she was truly no match for Jingliu; on the other hand, she also experienced Jingliu's madness beneath the blindfold, and felt that he was very dangerous when he really went berserk.

After a while, Sparkle saw Nguyen Mai again. After interacting with Nguyen Mai, she became somewhat silent.

Compared to the two of them, who is crazier?

Bronya had been secretly observing Ji Yuan, trying to figure out what he really was like.

Unfortunately, after looking at it for a long time, she still couldn't come to a conclusion.

She couldn't see any sign of Ji Yuan's evil experiments or his spirit, but a glance at the entire spaceship carrying experimental equipment not far from them made her relaxed mind tense up again.

The fleet arrived at Jarilo -VI, where the frozen planet appeared before them.

Above the planet, a train floats on top of it.

The Astral Express of Trailblaze Aeon Akivili.

"What should we do next? Should we just parachute in?"

Topaz then walked up to the group and asked them a question.

"No rush, I plan to check on Tingyun first. As for the fleet, we'll hover over Belobog and pose a threat for now," Ji Yuan said to Topaz, shaking his head.

"Good."

If it's possible to avoid a direct attack, Topaz would rather not launch one.

Nguyen Mai nodded slightly.

"Perfect timing. I'll take the Astral Express to meet the train's navigator. She's quite capable, and talking to her will be beneficial."

"Uh-huh."

Ji Yuan nodded.

At this moment, Sparkle, who had been quiet for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"I know how to get to the Underworld of Belobog. Would you like me to take you there?"

Ji Yuan didn't know what Sparkle was up to, but he just wanted to see what she could come up with.

So he agreed to Sparkle's request.

"Okay, then take me there alone first."

"Good."

Sparkle reached out to grab Ji Yuan's hand, but just as she was halfway there, Jingliu's sword energy pierced through her hair.

Sparkle immediately stopped.
