The Cloud Raising Mirror's Infinite Potential
Hong did not know what a system was.
[System loading.] [1%...2%...]
Chen Yi simulated a panel and manifested it on the Mirror of Illusion in Hong's mind.
As the mirror's master,
Chen Yi had the Cloud Raising Mirror itself in his mind, while each person he cloud-raised had a Mirror of Illusion in theirs, serving as a medium of communication between them.
Hong watched the words loading in his mind.
The words had appeared out of nowhere.
He had not found a way to deal with the problem, either.
Moreover, he knew nothing about web novels and did not know what a system was.
But Hong immediately chose to connect to the database with his Auxiliary Optical Computer and began searching for what a system was.
His efforts paid off, and he found out what a system was.
"Before the Great Nirvana, and even now... some novels, comics, and anime had an element called a 'system.'"
"It was often standard equipment for the protagonist."
"With a system, the protagonist could obtain powerful abilities one after another..."
"A system can grant powerful abilities?"
Hong could not help looking at the Mirror of Illusion displaying characters in his mind.
He watched its numbers climb bit by bit.
"United Will System?"
"If something like this really exists, then... have I become the host, the protagonist of the story?"
Hong thought the whole thing was too absurd.
He analyzed it carefully but found no way to deal with the Mirror of Illusion in his mind, so he could only puzzle over it and study it himself.
[System loading complete.] [The host has been detected to have awakened a domain, but has only reached Domain First Layer and greatly desires to reach Domain Second Layer.] [Therefore, a "starter gift pack" has been granted!] [The gift pack contains: Divine Light Liquid ×1!] [Divine Light Liquid] [Effect: After drinking, use a cultivation method to absorb its energy. Once absorbed, it can improve Genetic Origin Energy cultivation progress and slightly improve talent in the Law of Light!] [The following information concerns how improving law talent helps improve a domain. Expand to view.]
Inside the tearoom.
With a whoosh,
A test tube slowly descended onto the tea table and came to rest quietly beside the teapot... The moment Hong noticed the object appearing out of nowhere, he looked over... He even activated his domain.
After waiting a moment and finding nothing amiss,
Hong tentatively reached for the test tube.
The Divine Light Liquid was an item Chen Yi had bought for 300 points.
Its high cost was meant to awe Hong and make him believe in the existence of the "system." Its effect of improving Law of Light talent was also meant to help Hong master Domain Second Layer as soon as possible.
Domain Second Layer was also one of Hong's few four-star goals!
To account for the possibility that Hong did not understand exactly what law talent did, Chen Yi had also provided some information.
"It appeared out of thin air!"
"This... is the system's starter gift pack?"
In the information provided by his Auxiliary Optical Computer, Hong had also seen descriptions of "starter gift packs." They were generally treasures of great importance to hosts like him.
"Sending objects across space," and "transmitting voices across space."
How exactly had this system and this test tube appeared...? The more Hong thought about it, the more doubt and alarm arose in his heart.
Of course...
Hong also felt a trace of anticipation. After all, according to the information he had found, whether in novels, comics, or anime, protagonists with systems mostly stood at the pinnacle in the future!
And so,
He turned his gaze to the Divine Light Liquid.
While Hong was puzzling over it,
At Jiangnan Pavilion in the Elite Training Camp,
[Successfully communicated and interacted with cloud-raising subject "Hong." "Monthly task-communication" completed. Interaction points with Hong +800.]
Feeding him cost 300 points, but now that I've completed Hong's monthly task, I've gained 800 points just like that!
I have one more Planetary Level cloud-raising subject.
The speed at which I accumulate points has increased dramatically...
Sure enough, recruiting more cloud-raising subjects and cultivating them to higher realms is the best way to earn points.
Chen Yi checked the information on the monthly task. As for how to use the 800 points, he planned to give it careful thought and make a proper plan for what treasures to create with them.
Those points,
He planned to invest in Luo Feng. If Luo Feng advanced to Planetary Level, the rate at which he earned points would also increase. And by feeding Luo Feng resources to help him reach Planetary Level,
Chen Yi could also issue a task and share in the rewards from the feeding himself.
But he had to set some points aside...
So Hong could exchange them for rewards in the "system" store and come to trust it, allowing Chen Yi to guide Hong into doing more things afterward.
Having thought all this through,
Chen Yi went to sleep peacefully.
The next day,
Chen Yi began his daily training at the Elite Training Camp while also checking on Luo Feng's cultivation progress.
Issuing Hong a task
To have him invest in Chen Yi and Luo Feng was one plan, but having Hong complete his goals and then drawing rewards could also make Chen Yi stronger.
Of Hong's goals,
The one relatively easy to complete now was "cultivate a genius with Planetary Level potential." As long as Luo Feng displayed Planetary Level potential,
Then...
Hong would complete a milestone goal, and Chen Yi would be able to draw a reward from Hong.
Moreover, these two tasks could also be combined.
For example...
When Chen Yi had first disguised himself as a system, he had stated its name: the United Will System. It was simple enough, then: this was a system inclined toward collective development.
So...
If Hong searched for information and learned what "systems" meant in Earth's novels, comics, and anime,
And Chen Yi then issued a task such as:
[Task: Cultivate the Elite Training Camp's super geniuses "Chen Yi" and "Luo Feng."]
Wouldn't that let him get Hong's resources for free?
Of course...
Before that, he also needed to oversee Luo Feng's cultivation and have him display a standard befitting a "super genius," thereby further verifying the system's authenticity.
Thinking of this,
Chen Yi felt that his Cloud Raising Mirror was simply too powerful. He could directly guide each cloud-raising subject and issue them tasks. He could even use one cloud-raising subject to verify the authenticity of another's system.
And thereby achieve the goals he wanted to achieve!
The Cloud Raising Mirror's potential for maneuvering was almost limitless!
Now...
He would go check on Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng, how many kilograms has your punching force reached now?"
Chen Yi's voice rang out in Luo Feng's mind.
Luo Feng heard Senior Yun's voice. He had experienced the improvement brought by the Abyss-Stilling Sea-Subduing Diagram Guidance Technique.
In his eyes, Senior Yun was a super expert with countless treasures!
Luo Feng now understood the true universe and knew that Beyond War God-level was merely Planetary Level...
He was eager to grow stronger.
But Luo Feng had read the information and knew that every realm above Planetary Level was difficult to reach. Universe Level alone was an extremely powerful existence in the entire universe. For an Earthling like him, becoming Universe Level was unrealistic.
Fortunately...
Luo Feng saw the possibility of becoming an expert in Senior Yun. In Luo Feng's eyes... if he wanted to become an expert, receiving Senior Yun's guidance was the best path!
As long as he completed task after task, there would be plentiful rewards!
"Senior Yun, with the Guidance Technique you gave me, I'm improving by over 200 kilograms a day now. I tested at 6,821 kilograms today. At this rate, my physical fitness will reach Elementary War General very soon!"
Luo Feng responded eagerly.
