Chapter 72: The Crazy Woman
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Just a little peak should be okay…"
Hao Ren kept looking around like a thief. It was as though the room was full of cameras. He muttered to himself as he walked towards Raven 12345’s desk. He wondered what was above the Goddess's MDT. Curiosity was part of his human nature. Though he felt like it was something boring, he could not help himself.
When he saw the projection, he found that it looked like a forum page. The text on the page was not in human language. However, with the MDT’s seamless translation, the text could be fully understood. "City of Shadows Community Chat Room" was written on the top of the page. He remembered City of Shadows being the capital of Xi Ling Empire. Mortals also perceived it as the "Supreme Realm of the Gods". Hao Ren could feel a solemn vibe the moment he read the title. He was then shocked by the topic of the first thread, which was posted at the top of the page.
"I was transferred to a primitive universe to be a God recently. How do I pretend to be an experienced God?" Waiting on the line urgently - Raven 12345, via the Magic Type Data Terminal, posted 30 minutes ago.
The post of Hao Ren’s unreliable female boss had gathered more than 230 likes. It was pinned at the top of the forum…
Hao Ren silently walked away and sat back on his seat. He buried his head in his hands and wondered what would happen if Raven 12345 found out he had read the post. Would the crazy Goddess get angry and kill him in seconds?
Anyway, Hao Ren’s unrealistic view of the Space Administration collapsed at this point. Although he knew that the Space Administration was a terrible behemoth, it was even more horrible that a cadre of deputy-leveled officers could destroy the entire Milky Way in seconds. However, he also knew that the big bosses who had the power to destroy the galaxy were basically not free to harm humans. He knew this from Raven 12345. Just look at what the psycho does everyday.
While Hao Ren’s imagination was running wild, a glowing blue vortex suddenly appeared in the room. Raven 12345 was back. It startled Hao Ren. However, she did not seem to realize that Hao Ren had just peeked at her data terminal. Raven 12345 was holding a crystal chip about the size of a matchbox in her hand. She passed it to Hao Ren and said, "Take it. Keep it well. It’ll be useful in the future."
"What is this?" Hao Ren was a little immune to the variety of strange and high-tech gadgets issued by the Space Administration. He just asked out of curiosity and was not easily amazed or impressed by the high-tech devices like before.
"The key to the spacecraft and also your training card as a trainee pilot," replied Raven 12345. The tone of her voice sounded like she was lending someone half an eraser.
Hao Ren took the crystal chip. After he heard what she had said, he began to tremble like he was holding on to burning iron. He nearly dropped the seemingly fragile crystal to the ground. He could not help but be astounded by the chip on his hand and asked, "What did you say?! Spaceship?! "
"Yes, spaceship." Raven 12345 nodded as she spoke. "Why are you so surprised? There are countless universes under the Space Administration and the world I manage covers a range of 30 billion light-years. As the only certified God throughout 30 billion light-years, do you think that I would choose a spokesperson just to see him struggle on the earth? Do you think every God ‘s a miniaturist? "
Hao Ren’s brain tingled as he held the crystal chip. He gulped and asked, "Let me figure it out ... You mean, I have to learn to pilot a spaceship? That’s too big a task for me!"
"Don’t worry. You still can’t learn it for the time being. Your spaceship has not been approved yet. I just applied for an anti-theft lock..."
Hao Ren was speechless once again.
How did the her mind work? Was it a complete mess?
Hao Ren confirmed several times with Raven 12345 and finally felt ensured that he did not have to think about problems concerning the spaceship or outer space yet. The crazy Goddess had really just applied for a spaceship core lock. This was completely meaningless. It felt like ordering a security door before buying a house. What was the point? Was he supposed to poke the key into the keyhole every day to fulfill a psychological sense of accomplishment? According to Raven 12345, even the spaceship's core lock had not been sent over from the factory. She got the key directly from the workshop and did not know the purpose of giving it to Hao Ren this early…
Hao Ren totally could not communicate with this confusing and psychotic woman.
"Is there anything else?" Raven 12345 did not care about how her strange logic had confused others. She patted Hao Ren's shoulder like nothing ever happened and said," If there’s nothing else, I will continue my work. My post got so many likes for the first time in my life..."
Hao Ren instinctively nodded and left the room. Luckily, he remembered the questions he wanted to ask before he stepped out of the door and said, "Wait! There's one last thing!"
Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren curiously and he quickly seized the opportunity to ask the questions he almost forgot about. "I found something. The magic didn't work for me. The blood magic Vivian used to remove the curse didn’t work on me. It was the same for her blood. And The Letta runes in England were…"
Hao Ren told her all about the unusual situations he encountered. He did not think that this immunity against the spells was also one of the Space Administration’s welfare programs. If there was a benefit, Raven 12345 would have told him in advance. Although the Goddess was a psycho, it was unlikely of her to make a mistake on this issue. More importantly, the phenomenon first appeared before Hao Ren was physically enhanced. At that time he was still a thoroughly ordinary person. Therefore, the ability to be immune to spells must have been something strange.
After listening to Hao Ren’s description, a rare expression of seriousness appeared on her face. She looked at Hao Ren up and down until it gave him the creeps. "Immune to the vampire’s blood magic and blood perfusion? Immune to the influence of Letta runes? Your body can also directly cancel out the effect of Letta runes? Anything else?" asked Raven 12345.
Hao Ren tensed up when he saw Raven 12345’s expression. He guessed that his situation was unusual. He did not expect his situation to make the careless Goddess look grim. He thought it over, firmly shook his head and said, "That’s it. And I've never been in contact with any other sort of magic. Anyway, I'm immune to these types of magic. Do you think I was born immune to all kinds of magic? This isn’t natural..."
Raven 12345 dropped a bunch of sparks on Hao Ren. "You think too much," she said.
Half a minute later, Hao Ren recovered from a temporary state of paralysis. His face was full of resentment. "How can you just do whatever you like to me... So, I'm not immune to magic, huh?"
"Not exactly, you will be immune to certain parts of the magic but, I’m not sure specifically which part... I need to investigate it," said Raven 12345 as she frowned. "This may also be a hereditary problem but, don't you worry. At least, it’s harmless."
"Can you tell me more?" Hao Ren guessed that Raven 12345 knew something about it. He immediately moved close to her and said, "After all, this happened to me. At least I have the right to know."
"The problem is I'm not sure and now, I can only roughly guess that it could be related to the Plane of Dreams." Raven 12345 gazed into Hao Ren's eyes. She did not look like she was lying. "Certain changes normally happen to people who have entered the Plane of Dreams. However, most of them are dangerous mutations and those affected usually die within a few days. You on the other hand, are immune to certain magic after waking up from it… It's a special case. I have to investigate further before coming to a conclusion."
"It’s related to the Plane of Dreams again?" Hao Ren was finally interested in that mysterious and dangerous place. "What the heck, how...?"
"Why don't you just go and have a look at it?" said Raven 12345. She smiled mysteriously. "You’ve only been there once so you’re still far from knowing the truth of that space. I won’t tell you too much. Just go and figure it out by yourself."
"Again, you’re just telling me half of the story," Hao Ren muttered. "This is the only part of you that’s similar to the deities in the fairy tales… Oh yes, there's one last thing! "
Hao Ren almost forgot the most important question and quickly blurted, "Can you solve my tenants’ language problem? Vivian and Lily are unable to communicate with people in England. Y’zaks doesn’t even speak human language. The big demon is now holding the primary one language book and learning pronunciation all day. The werewolf, vampire and demon rely on sign language and hieroglyphs to communicate with each other. If they keep going on like this, I really don’t know how to face Hollywood and Qidian...
Raven 12345 immediately gave him a brilliant smile and said, "That’s simple. I’ve discussed your special situation with my superior. I can provide your tenants with limited civilian device support. You can bring them over in two days. I'll use the Bioenhancement and Reconfiguration Chamber to install the language directly into their mind. You also need to install it, by the way. Then you won't have to go through the data terminal every time you need a translation."
Hao Ren thought for a moment and finally realized something was wrong. He then said, "Wait! You mean I have to lie in that coffin again? "
A smile blossomed on her face and she said, "Yes!"
