Chapter 18: Can You Help to Remove My Veil?
Translator: Lordbluefire
This attitude made Lin Chang`an feel a little strange. However, he didn’t think too much about this.
He walked past the cordoned line and entered the center of the collapsed zone.
“The spatial crack is actually at my house.”
At this moment, Lin Chang`an finally chose his reward from the previous simulation.
Earlier when he was in the car, if he had chosen it, it would have been very easy for Chu Li to discover that something strange was going on.
This time around, he didn’t think too much and chose the second option.
Given his current mental strength, he naturally had no need to worry about this.
“Prior to opening up a spirit sea, the upper limit of qi and blood value is 2,000. It’s rumored that only absolute monsters in terms of cultivation or those with special physiques could achieve this. With such robust qi and blood, the spirit sea they opened would naturally be twice as large as the spirit sea opened by ordinary people.”
The strength of a spirit sea was first determined by its quality and secondly by its size.
Also, some people could open special-type spirit seas, but those weren’t something Lin Chang`an could think about.
In the past, Lin Chang`an didn’t even dare to think about opening his spirit sea with the absolute lowest value of 1,000 points.
However, he now discovered that 2,000 points in qi and blood were already not that far from him.
A vast amount of qi and blood then flooded his body.
The qi and blood within his body started surging around with great momentum. The sounds of rumbling thunder actually appeared!
As his body trembled and the rumbling sounds continued echoing, Lin Chang`an only sensed that his physique had strengthened by more than one fold!
The feeling of wanting to break through his body’s limit overcame him. He couldn’t help but roar in a low voice.
His muscles were remodeled inch by inch and his strength soared.
At this moment, his heart was glowing vividly, as though it wanted to open a gate!
The rumbling of his qi and blood suddenly reached a peak!
The two guards couldn’t help but sigh when they sensed this. It was like the sound of some supreme treasure being born.
“What did he toss in?”
This thought immediately appeared in their minds as they sighed.
Lin Chang`an was silently digesting the energy, as well as adjusting his breathing. It was only some time later did he finally manage to calm the surging qi and blood in his body.
He glanced at the system interface.
Name: Lin Chang`an
Cultivation: Zero Realm.
Qi and blood value: 1,573
Lin Chang`an tried punching out softly, and he immediately created a sonic boom.
He already intentionally reduced his strength, but this single punch was already several times stronger than his past self who had just transmigrated over!
“I most probably have ten thousand jin’s worth of strength now!”
Lin Chang`an exhaled a breath of hot air. And this action actually caused a sizzling sound to ring out in the air.
After that, he no longer wasted time and directly jumped into the spatial crack.
A sense of passing through boundless time and space gushed over.
At this moment, the A-Grade Talent [Ignoble Living] displayed its effect greatly. He could clearly sense that he had performed the jump perfectly due to luck.
Some spatial turbulence then brushed past his hair. The chaos in space restructured itself beside him and coincidentally passed him by.
As the space here continued warping, his vision suddenly went black and he fell onto the ground with a thud.
“I’ve entered.”
Lin Chang`an glanced at his surroundings.
It was a gloomy sight.
However, he didn’t wait to observe more, and the soft sound of sighing already entered his ears. Lin Chang`an immediately felt his scalp turning numb.
The simulations of the emulator and the experiences in reality were two completely different concepts.
Although this voice contained no hints of attraction to him, it still gave him the chills.
Lin Chang`an inhaled deeply and continued observing as he headed inward.
Although the simulation didn’t tell him which direction the maze was in exactly, he could still roughly judge based on the surroundings.
This information could be found in the partial memory fragment, but Lin Chang`an was too reluctant to spend another $10,000.
Very soon he discovered the spirit-passage grass not far away.
“There’s a total of five stalks at the 100-year mark!”
This meant that he could earn at least $50,000. After the 50-50 split, he would be able to get $25,000.
Since he had confirmed the location of the spirit-passage grass, according to the description, he soon also confirmed the location of the darkcover airmass.
A cold wind blew past him, and he felt his left shoulder sinking down slightly.
Lin Chang`an ignored this completely. With a thought, he directly kept the darkcover airmass.
The interspatial ring required one’s mental energy to activate. Upon leaving an imprint on the ring, one could open it up at any time.
Logically speaking, the spirit heart level still wasn’t able to allow one to release their mental energy outward. However, a storage ring was created to satisfy rich young masters and princesses. Hence, the rings would be modified, and no matter how weak one’s mental energy was, one would be able to use it.
When he used it, a strange thought filled his mind.
A bizarre sensation of being connected to Chu Li’s mental energy drifted over.
Lin Chang`an felt a little surprised, but he treated this normally as this might happen due to him using the interspatial ring of others.
After that, the crying of a baby rang out in the surroundings, and this was somewhat eerie in the quietness of the night.
“Uncle…uncle…save me…save me…”
It felt extremely real and the voice was just next to his ears.
The tone of anxiousness and pleading in the baby’s voice soon transformed into sharp and mournful screeches.
“Ahhhh! Save me! Why don’t you save me?!”
The sharp screams rang out beside his ear, but Lin Chang`an only felt his courage rise with the time.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had the talent Unafraid of Death, his mind probably couldn’t have withstood it and he would have been scared silly.
“COME BACK!!!”
The sharp scream shrilly echoed behind him as though it was made by a vengeful spirit.
As the sound of the voice entered his ears, goosebumps covered his skin.
He then continued to head inward and soon found the blackiron diamond.
“This most probably weighs 5,000 kg…!”
Even given Lin Chang`an’s great strength, he still found it taxing to shift this blackiron diamond.
His qi and blood churned and he finally cleared this place after much effort.
He continued and arrived at his own house.
After turning on the computer, he deleted all his browsing history and reformatted it. Lin Chang`an then looked at the house that he had stayed in alone for 14 years.
He removed his parents’ photographs and a diary he kept on his bed.
“Would a proper man keep a diary?”
He must never show this to anyone else.
After leaving his house, Lin Chang`an continued forward. He then walked for half a day before he finally arrived at the maze.
“It’s this location.”
He entered the maze with his right hand pressed against the wall as he explored inch by inch.
After a while, a feeling of silky warmth from jade drifted over, and there was something red floating ahead.
Lin Chang`an abruptly lifted his head and stared ahead.
Although he had prepped himself mentally, he was still stunned by the floating figure.
This person had a tall figure and was wearing a red dress.
Her skin was abnormally pale, but he could see shades of red underneath them.
A red veil covered her face, so he could only vaguely tell that she ought to have a stunning face.
In addition to a phoenix crown on her head and a golden hairpin that tied her hair up high, all these factors caused her to look both luxurious and eerie.
“Sir, can you help to remove my veil?”
The woman pleaded as she sighed weakly.
Lin Chang`an subconsciously attempted to do so.
However, the scenes in his simulation abruptly appeared in his mind. He activated Mental Defense and exhaled two breaths of turbid air.
“What will happen if I remove it for you?”
The emulator had no records of this, so he only knew that the answer wasn’t going to be simple.
However, the woman didn’t answer him. She continued to repeat the question. “Sir, can you help to remove my veil?”
Only at this moment did Lin Chang`an realize she wasn’t an ordinary existence.
Earlier, he was a little confused because he felt that this woman was the same as him – a human.
“Humans are humans, ghosts are ghosts…” murmured Lin Chang`an silently in his heart.
“Humans cannot, at the very least, we shouldn’t…”
He then recalled what had happened in the simulation.
“A male beauty trap? Could it be that I have to sacrifice my body? That shouldn’t be the case, right?
He stepped forward and prepared to probe. “What is your name?”
The figure in the air moved backward as Lin Chang`an approached. However, the distance she shifted back was very small.
As Lin Chang`an walked, he discovered that the veil gradually grew more transparent and clearer, revealing a noble face behind it.
This face was very familiar. He seemed to have seen it in some textbook before.
