Chapter 1679: Another Way to Establish Communication
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Raven 12345 really wanted to reward Noobie, and she even planned to donate the limited edition noodles she had been saving for two weeks. Yet, the little one was so scared that she would not come out of Vivian’s body, so the reward plan had to be abandoned.
In all senses, Noobie had escaped a disaster.
Then, the attention turned to Lil Pea.
The little mermaid did not resist Raven 12345. She was happily hopping about on the big desk, curiously rummaging through strange decorations and office supplies.
“I told you to take her along as the prophecy suggested, but I didn’t expect her to have such a big effect,” Raven 12345 said as she watched the baby fish scamper around in front of her. “Who would believe that a little mermaid fought the end of the world with her face and hurt a true G.o.d?”
“Huh?”
“Ahem, nothing,” said Raven 12345 as she conjured up a small light ball. Lil Pea jumped up and down after it. “Let me examine her body… Rest a.s.sured, there really isn’t any problem.”
“Unfortunately, this can only be done once. The next time we see the G.o.ddess of annihilation, I’m sure she won’t be so stupid,” Hao Ren said, shaking his head. “And she’ll be much better the next time I see her. Although Rheia will certainly be stronger after she studies those materials we’ve given to her, we won’t just be dealing with the G.o.ddess of annihilation… Don’t forget the Mad Lord.”
“Yeah, you can only use it once, but it kind of seals an opponent’s skill, doesn’t it?” Raven 12345 smiled and looked at Hao Ren. “And you’ve got to have a little more faith in Rheia. I’ve seen the blueprints of the Creation’s Engine, and I have to say that her brain is pretty good. Those textbooks aren’t difficult for her to learn, and a G.o.d armed with knowledge is definitely more powerful than you think.”
Hao Ren nodded before he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, there’s one more thing I want to confirm with you. Rheia can’t leave the Plane of Dreams now, can she?”
“Of course.” Raven 12345 nodded. “She’s the plane’s G.o.ddess of creation. There is no greater information aggregation than her own connection to the Plane of Dreams. It’s not that easy for a G.o.ddess like her to cross the Wall of Reality.”
Hao Ren did not want to give up. “Can’t we use the buffer zone at the Scarred Nebula?”
The Scarred Nebula… Deep within it was the new gate to the Plane of Dreams, and opposite it was Collow. Because it was a very large gap, the vast amount of information that flowed from the Plane of Dreams interfered with the information of the Surface World, creating a “buffer zone” between the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World. In this region, both the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World could exist and interact with each other without worrying about the impact on the two worlds.
Since the gate’s completion, many of Hao Ren’s bulk materials had been transported through it.
Raven 12345 shook her head. “That buffer zone is very convenient, but it can’t bear the weight of the G.o.ddess of creation’s information.”
This gave Hao Ren a headache. “Well… it’s troublesome. I’d like to arrange for the G.o.ddess of creation to meet you so you can teach her based on your experience as a G.o.d. I’m really worried that she won’t be able to keep up with her studies.”
“You’re not the only one who’s thinking of that,” said Raven 12355. “I’ve been thinking about meeting her for a long time, but it’s just not realistic, and… Wait a minute! If it’s just to make contact with her… it’s not impossible!”
“Really?”
“We’ve just gone too far. Why do we have to let the G.o.ddess of creation come here? If you just want to connect her to me, then we can do it via remote communication. Why do we have to meet?” Raven 12345 explained.
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other. “It’s just that simple?”
“Of course it’s not that simple. After all, the G.o.ds themselves carry a huge amount of information, so none of the devices you use to communicate with the Plane of Dreams will work on Rheia. The line would disconnect as soon as she speaks, but it would be much easier to get a remote communicator specially made for G.o.ds than to get Rheia here. Hold on, I’m going to get a testing machine right now…”
Raven 12345 disappeared the moment she finished speaking, leaving Hao Ren and Vivian in the office looking at each other.
“Did she say if we should go home and wait or stay here?” Vivian asked, a little unsure. “But she acted so fast. Should we wait here?”
“It’s hard to say. Based on a G.o.d’s sense of time, it could take ten days or half a month. I think we better go home.”
“What if she doesn’t see us when she gets back here later?”
Hao Ren touched his chin and said, “Don’t mind her, let’s go home and have dinner first. Anyway, she can get us back here at any time if she really needs us.”
Vivian agreed. She picked Lil Pea up from the table and entered the teleportation portal to their home along with Hao Ren.
The next moment, they were already standing in the living room of their home.
As soon as Hao Ren found his balance, he saw Rollie sitting cross-legged on a blanket next to the sofa with a PSP in her hands.
Noticing the sudden new scent in the living room, the catgirl raised her head and meowed. Hao Ren instantly saw the thing in the catgirl’s hands. “Where did you get that?! That’s my treasure…”
However, before he could finish the sentence, a beam of light suddenly fell on him and Vivian. In the next second, they vanished, leaving the catgirl dumbfounded.
A few seconds later, the silly cat jumped off her blanket and yelled, “OMG! Big Boss Cat’s ghost just ran out of the PSP all of a sudden!”
Nangong Wuyue was in the kitchen helping Nangong Sanba while he was cooking. Fortunately, he was a good cook. Otherwise, all of them would have nothing to eat when Vivian was not at home.
Nangong Wuyue turned to look in the direction of the living room the moment she heard the cat yell. “What happened?”
“Who knows, maybe she’s messing with the TV again,” Nangong Sanba muttered while he cooked busily.
Next to them stood another woman dressed in a black dress. She looked almost exactly like Vivian, except for her shorter hair and smaller figure. It was Hessiana.
“For a moment, I sensed Lady Vivian…” Hessiana frowned and said uncertainly.
“You must have gotten it wrong,” said Nangong Wuyue firmly. “The landlord and Vivian are now reporting to the G.o.ddess. She won’t be back so soon.”
Hessiana gave her a suspicious look, then got a little nervous and asked, “Hmm… Will Lady Vivian be angry that I suddenly turned up here?”
“You’ve been asking the same question again and again,” Nangong Sanba said. “Have some confidence. Vivian doesn’t hate you.”
“But she used to hide every time I looked for her. She doesn’t want to see me…” Hessiana said, looking worried.
“Don’t think about it too much. Vivian said she would change her att.i.tude toward you before she left, “Nangong Wuyue comforted. “Plus, she said she’d invite you over for a few days—she’ll be glad to see you here.”
“Really?” The vampire matriarch was now nervous like a child preparing for a parents’ meeting.
On the other side, Hao Ren and Vivian did not know that there was an unexpected guest in the house because they had been forcibly dragged back to Raven 12345’s place.
“Why did you go straight home when I told you to wait?”
“We thought you said we should go home and wait—we thought it’d take you days to prepare,” Vivian explained, looking embarra.s.sed.
Hao Ren was worried about his childhood treasure. “I saved a lot of money to buy it when I was little… And now the cat’s broken it…”
The MDT was not happy about that. “It’s not fair! You treasure an antique, which went out of fas.h.i.+on more than ten years ago, but you use me, such a sophisticated high-tech product, as a coaster!”
“All right, please solve your internal conflicts in private. We’re at work now, please be serious,” Raven 12345 interrupted them, then took out a pair of silver metal rings and put them on the table. “This is the test machine I’ve created. It allows Rheia to project part of her information into the Surface World.”
“So fast?” Hao Ren looked at the metal rings in disbelief. The rings were not large, appearing like two silver bracelets with a polished surface. They did not have any b.u.t.tons. “How do they work?”
“Direct mental activation. One is placed with the G.o.ddess of creation, and the other in the Surface World. The idea is to generate a remote ma.s.s projection. This is better than a communicator, thanks to my strong professional knowledge and creativity. I really am…”
Hao Ren picked up the pair of rings, but found a label on one of the rings, which read “Sixth generation compact projection generator, product number…”
“Ahem, Boss, can you tear the label off before you brag the next time?”
“…Huh?”
“So you just went back to the warehouse and got a ready-made gadget? I was wondering how you got it ready so fast!”
Raven 12345 was silent.
