Chapter 722 Bai Ling's Mink Training Ground
Generally speaking, protagonists in the "royal road" genre have the following characteristics:
He's usually carefree and unreliable, but when faced with a challenge, he's fearless and reckless, shouting about friendship and bonds as he charges at the opponent and beats them up. No matter how strong the opponent is, he can defeat them to a draw.
There have even been instances where players have suddenly become overpowered and used a devastating, earth-shattering attack to instantly kill opponents far stronger than themselves.
The above only applies to PVE environments, and it only activates when facing the villainous boss who has already defeated allies to their knees.
Clearly, the hyacinth, as the officially designated kingly path, perfectly fits all the circumstances.
However, this kind of "royal road" approach also has a drawback that is not so good at times... Hyacinths are always focused on rushing upwards, giving people the feeling that they will withstand any difficulties and obstacles. While this is reliable in normal times, it is a huge drawback that can directly affect the process when participating in this type of investigation mission.
After all, not all missions can be accomplished by brute force, especially when intelligence is almost nonexistent. Rushing forward recklessly may disrupt subsequent plans or even prematurely awaken the ultimate boss, leading to total defeat.
To curb Hyacinth's recklessness, Su Tianqing specially arranged for Yue Tianxin to enter the room together, acting as a speed reducer for Hyacinth, so that Bai Ling wouldn't be unable to hold Hyacinth's collar alone... Although if she really recklessly charged forward, even two Stargazers combined probably couldn't stop her, it would still have some effect.
"Over here! In this direction!"
The albatross flew in the lead and called out to the hyacinths behind it.
The latter followed closely in her predecessor's footsteps, and the stargazers craned their necks to peer around at their surroundings.
It was precisely because of Hyacinth's unwavering belief that Yue Tianxin was able to use the Divine Stone to transmit the entire video and audio recording to the outside world, and also receive instructions from the Tail Network to secretly investigate the detailed information of this alternate dimension.
The scanning magic mounted on the Divine Stone spread out silently. Thanks to Yue Tianxin's precise operation, these hidden spells went unnoticed by the albatross and her stargazers. Su Tianqing and the others were finally able to establish a preliminary understanding of this alternate dimension.
"I see, I think I understand now."
Turning her gaze away from the magical light screen of the mobile communication terminal, the golden-haired fox girl crossed her arms and nodded.
Nightingale and Hyacinth also stepped back from the terminal, looking at Heart Moon Fox with confusion and asking curiously:
"Huh? What do you understand?"
"Miss Yue Tianxin has already investigated the general nature of this alternate dimension using the magic attached to the Divine Stone."
Su Tianqing replied,
"The original text obtained from the investigation has a complex style reminiscent of Ms. Inari. If we were to translate it into more familiar language, it could be understood as an immature mental world that has been through many trials and tribulations."
"Immature..." "The world of mental images...?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Even Hellcat, who was acting as Fox's personal bodyguard and completely oblivious to what was happening, couldn't help but ask a question:
"Fox, do you mean this alternate dimension is actually a mental world?"
"Yes, that's right, and it has been going on for quite a long time. During this period, it has been severely lacking in both external and internal maintenance and has reached the brink of collapse, but it has maintained its existence in a way that I cannot understand."
Su Tianqing helplessly shrugged in response.
There are only three people in the world who can use the mental imagery world—this fox, Chi Xue, and Hong Qiangwei. I had already filled the sky above Rongcheng with a thick layer of mental imagery worlds that I hadn't had time to delete, which played an unexpected defensive role when facing Garuda.
If this suddenly appearing alternate dimension is a mental world, then when was it released?
Firstly, it's impossible for me to learn about the mental world after I've mastered it. I would definitely notice that someone is trying to cover up my mental world, which would alert me.
Previously, the only person in Rongcheng who could use this magic was Chi Xue. You must know that at that time, Hong Qiangwei was in Suicheng sealing a huge astral rift with her mental image world, so she couldn't possibly have the time to come to Rongcheng.
After much deliberation, the only thing that could be blamed on Chi Xue was that she herself didn't seem to have any motive for using this magic... The logical chain just got stuck there.
"Sigh." Su Tianqing sighed softly.
My knowledge base is indeed no match for Ms. Inari. If she were here, she would probably have already given at least three different theoretical assumptions and started logical verification.
I need to make the most of my time to browse the books in the Astral Library and learn more. Only through continuous learning and advancement can I become a qualified villain. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Then he grabbed the microphone and spoke to the people inside the alternate dimension:
"Miss Hyacinth, please keep the acceleration as gentle as possible during flight. Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration, and large maneuvers. We are currently collecting data."
"I'll try my best," the hyacinth replied softly.
Yue Tianxin continued to operate the Divine Stone without stopping for a moment.
But for some reason, the talkative white ferret spirit on Hyacinth's other shoulder suddenly fell silent.
After seeing the eye contact and greeting between the fox spirit Yue Tianxin and the meerkat Mengmeng, she fell silent. It seemed as if she wanted to talk to Yue Tianxin but was intimidated by the fox spirit's serious aura. The sable tail kept sweeping across the back of the hyacinth's neck, making her keep reaching out to scratch it.
"Bai Ling, can't your tail behave? It's so itchy!"
"Ah... I'm sorry..." Bai Ling timidly stretched out her sable claws and grabbed her tail.
Tail Network allocated most of its computing power to Yue Tianxin. Her operation speed, which was focused on the Divine Stone screen, had reached the limit for a fox spirit. She had no time to observe her surroundings, let alone Bai Ling's restless appearance.
No one knew just how nervous Bai Ling was at that moment.
On the left is her once reliable and perfect senior, and on the right is a perfect junior who has completely surpassed her but is still willing to call her a senior. Caught between a meerkat and a fox, Bai Ling feels that the senior image she has been trying to maintain is on the verge of collapse.
Whenever Senior Mengmeng and Xiaoyue meet and exchange a few words, the way Xiaoyue looks at her changes drastically in an instant.
[So, Senior Bai Ling, you've repeated so many times at school...]
[He can't even learn basic magic, and he barely passes every subject with a score of 61...]
[I never imagined your resume was so brief, senior...]
[Senior Bai Ling's thesis had a plagiarism rate of 90% in the initial review...]
With each word the meerkat spoke, Xiaoyue's curious gaze grew colder, until finally, when it looked at her, it wore the utter contempt one one would give academic garbage, and then uttered some words that completely shattered her:
I never imagined you were this kind of senior. Let's break up.
"No! Xiaoyue, don't go! Xiaoyue, take me with you! Ahhhhhh!"
Bai Ling's unintentional cry attracted the attention of Hyacinth and Yue Tianxin, who both turned to look at the white ferret spirit clinging to their shoulders.
The latter then realized that she had shouted out the words that had popped into her head. She quickly covered her mouth, trembling all over, and looked at Yue Tianxin on the shoulder next to her with a red face.
"I'm not leaving, Senior Bai Ling~"
The fox spirit smiled sweetly.
