Mini World Of Endless Fun Awaits Chapter 99 - Worse Than A Pangolin

Why did the gods speak in Mandarin?

Ren Suo pondered over the question and realized that indeed, the Master of the Holy Light, the Ruler of the Wind, Rain, and Snow, as well as the Heart of Everlasting Warmth, all spoke in Mandarin in the video!

It was just that he had been listening to Mandarin being spoken in the game previously and so did not take much notice of it.

Now that the researches in the forum highlighted that point, Ren Suo realized how absurd the situation was.

Furthermore, the three gods did not look like the Taoist gods, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, nor the Three Immortals of Xuan Nation. Based on their names, they appeared more like Western deities or the unknown entities of the Cthulhu Mythos.

Ren Suo clicked into the particular discussion and found that everyone was extremely serious in their posted messages. There were no useless remarks typical of online forums, such as "first commenter" or "made it to the first page". Instead, every posted message talked about their individual theories for the three gods in the video speaking Mandarin.

"The gods may be ancient Xuan Nation people who had practiced to become so. They may well be Practitioners from the Ren family."

The comment by a level 2 researcher spoke of vast imagination and even knew how to play on hot topics.

"Naisser_Ren has uploaded so many real videos and perhaps this video serves his goal—to attempt to deceive all of us that there are gods in this world. However, it would appear "weird" regardless of the language spoken by those gods. True gods would be able to communicate with humans without verbal communication, and those gods were unable to do that, so there's a loophole here."

What the level 3 researcher said made much more sense than the previous comment. Many other researchers liked his message—there was an "Agree", "Disagree", and "Not helpful" option at the bottom right corner of each posted message, and the level 3 researcher had received 35 likes for his views.

"We need to consider this with the big picture in mind. We can say that the video from 'Naisser_Ren' is fake, but what if it is real? We should analyze this across the videos he has uploaded so far.

What was the purpose of 'The Hitman'? It is an opening to announce and show the world that there is the existence of a mysterious force in the world.

What about 'A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Meters'? It uncovered and exposed a new way of Awakening to everyone. While such a method is extremely dangerous, it has indeed opened up a new path for the majority of the ordinary people.

The "Over My Dead Body" series has not ended and so I would not dare to say for certain that my view is accurate, but the series has already shown us the attributes and trends of the more common monsters, and the series of technologies hidden within is an even more important resource. Furthermore, ******* (only shown to level 3 researchers and above).

Then, what about 'Holy Priest: Survival Battle Part 1'? Did anyone realize that the people who appeared in the first three works only appeared once and never reappeared again—the ancient Ren family of Practitioners could not possibly have revived, could they? Meanwhile, the Hitman has disappeared without any trace and the "Strong Warrior" has turned into an immortal.

And yet in 'Holy Priest: Survival Battle', 'Naisser_Ren' introduced a guessing competition. Don't be fooled by the lucky draw, realize the important hidden information within. 'Naisser_Ren' is intending to announce their existence, which is to tell the whole world that an organization such as 'Naisser_Ren' exists! Those gods who spoke Mandarin would then become the puppets that 'Naisser_Ren' would push to the front line!

The reason why they spoke in Mandarin, is likely because their first target is us, Xuan Nation!"

That was the comment posted by a level 4 researcher, who gained 754 likes. There must not have been many researchers who could access the intranet, considering the forum's concealment and its access criteria. Receiving such a large number of likes meant that most of the people on the intranet agreed with the researcher.

However, as Ren Suo read through the serious and well-thought-out comment, he did not know how to explain what he thought.

I randomly picked the games and played them in no particular order…

He was amused that someone could have deduced a purpose and trend for the order of the appearance of the videos. It was solely due to the "free games of the month", the "promotion events" and Ren Suo "not knowing what he thought at that time either".

Nonetheless, there was no way anyone would believe him if Ren Suo said the truth on the forum, and could even garner large numbers of dislikes and "not helpful" votes.

Ren Suo pondered about the question and realized that he was indeed the cause of it.

Ren Suo did not believe that the three gods could only speak Mandarin. However, although his game character "Zhao Zili" spoke Mandarin, the trainees from other nations would naturally hear their respective native languages—Mandarin was not the universal language either, so there was no way trainees from other nations could continue the training if they did not understand what was being said.

But when "Naisser_Ren" edited the video, it was very likely that only the version that Ren Suo had played was included and versions in other languages were not in the video, thus resulting in such a misunderstanding.

Ren Suo naturally could not speak the truth and gave a like to the level 4 researcher's comment instead. He exited the webpage and created a new Word document. He was prepared to come up with a few "reasons" to submit to Yu Kuangtu.

Either way, it did not matter whether Yu Kuangtu believed him since it would eventually be revealed that Ren Suo was correct. However, he could not submit just one name, No. 98 Zhao Zili, directly, so he picked two other trainees and attributed his guess to them being "intelligent, brave and decisive" and "extremely lucky", as well as other adjectives to describe them.

Having picked three out of 156 of the trainees, of which one of the three would emerge as the champion, the analysis should be sufficiently substantial, no?

By the time Ren Suo finished making up reasons for his choices, it was almost 2 p.m. He planned to submit the report only at 11 p.m., else Yu Kuangtu would think that he was not serious in his work.

It was now time to test out the controllable Reiki-gathering equipment.

Ren Suo walked out of the bedroom into the living room. He saw a strange button on the wall, and there was even an electronic display above the button.

"Reiki level: 2.3"

Ren Suo pressed the button, and ten seconds later, the display changed to "Reiki level: 18.9". At the same time, the floor of an empty area in the living lit up with white light.

That was the controllable Reiki-gathering equipment that the government wanted to install even though they had to delay the opening of the school by one week so that the teachers and students could Practice in a Reiki-saturated environment.

Then, Ren Suo retrieved a peculiar object from his luggage.

It was a rare object he bought from the Jianji Noodles Stall for 60 dollars-

An old lamp holder that was said to have been used for thirty years!

Ren Suo hugged the lamp holder as he stepped into the lighted area in the living room. He activated "Unlimited Energy" as he held onto the lamp holder and Practiced as he sat in a cross-legged lotus position. But even after Practicing for three hours, he had to admit.

There was no effect at all.

Ren Suo scratched his head as he muttered to himself, "It seems like the ability to absorb Reiki from old objects is only possible in the game. However, in terms of old objects, the most ancient of all would be the jade pendant, but that is not a tangible object…"

When equipped with the Jade Pendant of the Goddess of the Luo River, Ren Suo did not need to be accessorized with the jade pendant to activate the ability of it. When it was activated, a tattoo resembling the jade pendant would appear on a part of his body.

It was naturally very convenient, but after Ren Suo realized the ability to absorb Reiki of objects in "The All-Devouring Soul", he no longer considered the other strong props of the game console.

Nonetheless, the controllable Reiki-gathering equipment was relatively useful, even though it could not compare to the training facility. But it was sufficient for Ren Suo.

The only drawback was that he would be charged for the duration that the controllable Reiki-gathering equipment was used, so Ren Suo immediately turned it off after he finished Practicing. Although the equipment was free, there was a limit to the duration it could be used each month, so it should only be used when he was most energized, to make the most out of his money.

Ren Suo could not help but remark, "If only I could absorb Reiki just like in the game."

If everyone Practiced the same way, Ren Suo would not have lamented so. However, he knew that the pangolin in the game could Practice so easily as if it was robbing objects of Reiki. The difference between the two methods was so vastly different that he could not help but lament that—

I am worse than a pangolin!
