Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Return, New Copy Character: Chairman of the Board (Please Subscribe, Please Collect, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket)

As he glided through the sky, He Ao could sense from a great distance something pitch black covering the sky on the other side of the tower.

That must be the Great Octopus’ true form, the ’Night Steward’ that Liu Nan had mentioned before.

Of course, He Ao still preferred to call him the Great Octopus.

However, He Ao did not look in that direction, but instead swiftly headed in the opposite direction.

Based on what Liu Nan had previously described, the Great Octopus seemed to possess some sort of ability where, as soon as it was observed, it would ’see’ the observer.

He Ao’s figure plummeted rapidly, soon passing through the hazy clouds to see the dazzling sunrise, the vast wilderness, and the densely packed high-rises.

From the sky, the already decrepit city looked even more desolate and empty.

The Tomb Guardian Puppet was brought down by him as well.

Originally, He Ao had planned to let the Tomb Guardian Puppet attract attention in case the Great Octopus discovered him, but now that he hadn’t been discovered, the Tomb Guardian Puppet was no longer of use.

He Ao finally landed on a slope some distance from the safe area.

He gently floated to the ground, the pure white flock of doves leaving his body to settle back into the Magician’s Top Hat.

He Ao gave the Magician’s Top Hat a shake and slowly placed it on his head.

Just as he put on the hat, a large tiger with spots suddenly leaped out from the bushes nearby and pounced toward him.

He Ao glanced at it and forcefully swung the Miracle Wand, hitting the tiger on the neck and sending it flying.

The tiger crashed to the ground, struggled for a moment, and then breathed its last.

He Ao’s strike had directly broken its neck.

This was an exotic beast that hadn’t reached E-level.

After some thought, He Ao controlled the Crystal Ball, turning the tiger into a puppet, and then he made the tiger dig a large hole in the ground.

He then released his control of the Tomb Guardian.

In fact, the Tomb Guardian was not a good puppet.

Although the Crystal Ball could also control the dead, it could not maintain long-term control like those octopuses, or even control decomposed remains; if the dead had incurable severe injuries, the control strength would significantly weaken, and would further diminish as the (puppet’s) body deteriorated.

He Ao had been a bit too harsh previously, and the Tomb Guardian’s organs had almost been completely destroyed.

But returning to the main point, after releasing the control, He Ao placed the Tomb Guardian’s corpse into the large pit dug by the tiger, covered it with soil, and erected a simple mound.

Then he controlled the tiger and headed towards the safe area.

By the time he reached the safe area, there was still one hour left until the end of the relic.

He set up a grill and forcibly roasted all the meat from the D-level exotic beasts, stuffing it into his stomach.

This meat could be eaten in the main world as well, but it didn’t have as good an effect as in the copy world.

It took about forty-five minutes for He Ao’s ’Qi’ to become three strands, and his Dantian was also filled with energy.

There were still three pieces of E-level exotic beast meat left, which he could no longer consume and planned to take back with him.

He then began to tally his gains from this trip to the relic.

First was the growth of his own strength.

Apart from those three strands of ’Qi’, He Ao’s physical fitness had also undergone significant changes.

His current physical fitness was 247, whereas when he first entered the relic, his physical fitness was 187.

Gaining about 60 points in physical fitness in 72 hours was not a bad figure, considering the higher the physical fitness, the harder it is to improve.

In terms of Talent Sequences, He Ao had made a lot of progress in mastering ’Talent Sequence 40: Magician’ and had also found clues in the tower that may relate to Super Memory’s late-stage advancement.

This was He Ao’s own strength, in terms of power returning to himself.

Beyond that, in terms of transcendent items, he had obtained a B-level Miracle Wand, a C-level Puppet Crystal Ball, and two D-level transcendent items, the Arbitration Scales and the Multicolored Ring.

The two D-level transcendent items had dropped from the two D-level exotic beasts he had killed.

The Arbitration Scales, made of two dragonfly wings, had the ability to instantly pacify any conflict; as a price, it required a blood offering, with stronger conflicts demanding more blood. The emotions of the user of the Arbitration Scales would become increasingly calm until all fluctuations were lost.

The Multicolored Ring, when worn, bestowed the ability to charm others and also conjure any attire; the downside was that this charm did not discriminate by gender or even species, and the longer it was worn, the more potent the charm would become to those around.

In addition, He Ao had also acquired an extremely sturdy bone sword.

The bone sword didn’t possess any extraordinary abilities, but its hardness was such that it could clash directly with the tentacles of a B-level Great Octopus. Moreover, it was an excellent vessel for "Qi." In the hands of a martial artist like He Ao, its power was hardly weaker than that of a C-level Transcendent item.

In addition to the above, He Ao had also obtained a Spacetime Beacon, although it seemed to be broken, as well as the highest authority over some tower equipment.

Well,

He Ao once again tallied his gains, feeling that they shouldn’t be considered poor, should they?

He didn’t know what others might have obtained from the ruin.

After finishing his tally, he picked up the Miracle Wand and used one of its three C-level Miracles, "Silence Concealment."

This Miracle could hide certain items, making them undetectable to anyone and any machine, except the holder of the Miracle Wand.

The bone sword didn’t need hiding, nor did the two D-level Transcendent items; He Ao could explain where they came from.

However, the Miracle Wand, Spacetime Beacon, and Crystal Ball needed to be concealed.

After returning to the main world, the Research Institute would inspect all Transcendent items brought back. He Ao’s next objective was to find the person who had taken the central processor, and from there, find a way to open the door inside the Central Control Room.

To accomplish this goal, he needed to keep some cards hidden, especially the Crystal Ball, which had once belonged to the Tomb Guardian.

Life experience taught He Ao that one always needed to keep something in reserve to live longer.

By the time He Ao had dealt with these matters, he saw, from a distance, a gorilla carrying large and small bags walking toward him.

The gorilla glanced up, noticed He Ao, and then turned and ran.

He Ao didn’t chase after it because it was time to return.

All he felt was his vision being obscured by a blinding white light. When the light gradually faded, the ruined city was replaced by the blue sky and the moist sea breeze.

Although it had only been three days, which amounted to just six hours in the real world, He Ao felt as though he had stepped through an age.

After all, he had been to a completely different world and experienced many things. However, having entered such Copy Worlds many times before, he quickly came to his senses.

Around him, there was a buzz of noise, signifying that other Explorers who had entered the ruin were also back.

Out of thirty-four who had left, only twenty returned.

Both Speech Master and Liu Nan had survived and returned, but the Speech Master, usually so talkative, was now unusually quiet, listlessly approached He Ao, looking as if she wanted to speak but then deciding against it.

Liu Nan was in a worse state than the Speech Master; she looked gaunt, with hair as tangled as straw, and appeared as though she hadn’t eaten properly in a long time. He Ao handed her his water and compressed biscuits.

At first, she tried to maintain her composure, but eventually couldn’t hold back and began to wolf down the food. Halfway through, she choked; He Ao patted her back, signaling her to eat slowly.

Actually, Liu Nan and the Speech Master were comparably fortunate, at least they had come back whole.

But many had not come back whole.

Exploring ruins was not that safe.

The group waited for a while, and then a massive cruise ship approached from a distance. Yang De stood on the deck at the front of the ship, arranging for boats to bring everyone aboard the cruise ship.

The doctors who were already prepared immediately came over to check on each individual returning from the ruin.

He Ao’s injuries were not light; his body was covered with dozens of wounds, small and large. However, none of the wounds were fatal, and some had even healed considerably. The doctor cleaned and stitched his wounds.

By the time he walked out of the infirmary, stars were already twinkling in the sky.

Yang De had arranged rooms for everyone on the cruise ship, and He Ao followed the staff’s directions to his own room.

This time, they wouldn’t return to Liu Zhengyun’s private island but would instead take the cruise ship directly back to Central Earth.

The Research Institute distributed a form to everyone to document their gains from the ruin as well as the intelligence information obtained.

After filling out the form, He Ao rested on the bed for a while.

Around four or five in the morning, the countdown in his eyes reached its endpoint.
