Chapter 753: Chapter 753: K Will Bless You (Super Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Passes)

Li Cheng was stunned, and he immediately took out a small notebook from his pocket, his voice trembling as he said, "Please, continue. Don’t mind me."

He had wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t resist this knowledge.

He Ao smiled and continued, "There is only one progression between B-level and C-level, so there are also 72 Talent Sequences for B-level."

At the same time, He Ao recalled the book about Talent Sequences that he had seen at Deres’s place.

The book was thick, but most of it was speculative conjecture. The only certainty He Ao had was about the number of C-level and B-level Talent Sequences mentioned in it.

This was relatively easy to verify, as all C-level to B-level Talent Sequences He Ao had come across so far had a sequence number difference of 72, and there was a one-to-one correspondence between C-level and B-level Talent Sequences.

Moreover, He Ao guessed that there might also be only one progression between A-level and B-level, with 72 Talent Sequences for A-level as well, but he couldn’t be sure yet.

Besides, He Ao had acquired another critical piece of information from that book.

This key information didn’t originate from the content of the book, but from a photograph of what seemed to be a fragment of a damaged manuscript.

The photograph was included in the book as corroborating evidence in the appendix, citing the author’s reference materials.

This photo, along with a large number of similar photographs of ancient texts, seemed intended to showcase the richness of the author’s reference materials.

Yet, throughout his entire book, he had not cited the content of this photograph.

The content in the manuscript in the photo was simple, a fragment of obscure words,

[······I finally found the number on God’s ’dice,’ and though there is a price to the world··· it is too great··· I hope no one will walk our path again···242413233134233224332323233······]

The paper and ink of the last sequence of numbers seem to have undergone some special reinforcement, preserved most intact, as if the person who took the notes did not wish for these numbers to fade away with time, lost to history.

The reason He Ao paid attention to this photo was that in some manuscripts about ’Talent Sequences periodic law’ he had first read in books on the subject, the terms ’God’s dice’ and ’Eye of the World’ had been mentioned.

It matched perfectly in this context.

"B-level 72, C-level 72,"

While He Ao was recalling this, Li Cheng too was looking at his notebook, processing the information he had recorded. After a pause filled with confusion, he said, "C-level has 72 Talent Sequences, each originating from one of 9 F-level Talent Sequences? Does that mean, one F-level Talent Sequence corresponds to eight C-level Talent Sequences?"

He Ao nodded lightly.

Li Cheng paused, then continued, "But if that’s the case, one F-level Talent Sequence corresponds to three D-level Talent Sequences and eight C-level Talent Sequences. Put together, three D-level Talent Sequences correspond to eight C-level Talent Sequences? They can’t be evenly divided?"

"Yes,"

He Ao nodded gently, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Thus there is no stable one-to-many pattern from D-level to C-level. However, the patterns between C-level and D-level also satisfy some rules from F to E-level,

"That is, a C-level Talent Sequence has only one corresponding D-level Talent Sequence, and most of the time, a D-level Talent Sequence corresponds to many C-level Talent Sequences."

"Then is there any pattern to the correspondence between D-level and C-level?"

Li Cheng asked quietly, looking at his notebook.

"There is no pattern."

He Ao said calmly.

Li Cheng’s expression stiffened.

Having no pattern meant that people had to trial and error each Talent Sequence correspondence, and a mistake in advancement could lead to a high chance of falling into danger and madness.

It not only required human lives to test it out but also a long time to record, analyze, and summarize.

Suddenly, He Ao paused for a moment and continued softly, "242, 413, 233······323, 233."

He paused after every three numbers until he finished the last group.

Li Cheng also quickly noted down these numbers, then he looked at the digits in his hands and fell into a brief silence.

Each set of three numbers added up to 8, totaling nine sets.

"This is······"

He looked at He Ao, hesitating as he spoke.

"I don’t know either, maybe you will understand,"

He Ao drank another sip of tea, watching the sunset at the edge of the sky.

Li Cheng bowed his head again to glance at the notes in his notebook, sensing that this could very likely be the correspondence between D-level and C-level.

For every three D-level, there correspond eight C-level.

If these numbers were correct, Talent Sequence 1’s Farmer would correspond to three D-level Talent Sequences, which would in turn correspond to two, four, and two C-level Talent Sequences respectively.

Talent Sequence 37 corresponds to 64 and 65, two Talent Sequences; 38 corresponds to 66, 67, 68, and 69, four Talent Sequences; 39 corresponds to 70 and 71, two Talent Sequences.

"Thank you,"

Li Cheng said quietly, "If these numbers are true, maybe they can save many lives."

For the new Transcendent world of the main world without any experience or foundation, any new pattern exploration could cause significant losses, especially such a ruleless correspondence.

"Perhaps we should be thankful for whomever tried so hard to preserve these numbers."

He Ao took another sip of tea and looked back at Li Cheng, "By the way, one last piece of knowledge, you might already have a feeling for it, but from D-level to C-level advancement, each promotion requires a corresponding ritual. The ritual can reduce the conflict between the Talent Sequence and oneself during progression, decreasing the likelihood of madness."

"We indeed discovered that the danger from D-level to C-level was special, but we haven’t explored the ’ritual’ step yet."

Li Cheng noted down this piece of knowledge as well.

While they were still identifying issues, He Ao already provided solutions for them.

In the main world, there were too few C-level and B-level individuals, and the sample size was insufficient for them to identify enough problems.

It wasn’t until Li Cheng went over the knowledge again in his mind that he let out a long sigh, "What you’ve given me is much more valuable than the entire Newland City-State."

"I simply transferred what others had summarized to you."

He Ao smiled.

The evening breeze at sunset brushed the collars of the two individuals.

——Two days later——

"Newland is in your hands from now on."

Walking on the streets of Core Island, He Ao looked at the bustling crowd, glanced at Kodo by his side, and said with a smile.

"It would be my pleasure."

Kodo replied with a smile.

In the past two days, Moonlight and He Ao had completed the basic handover, and He Ao had taken turns meeting the ’rulers’ of Newland City-State.

He did not particularly intervene in the affairs of Newland City-State but made some suggestions concerning education and the restriction of unknown individuals from coming onto the island.

Then he began to structure his own Transcendents’ organization.

Kodo was the first D-level Transcendent willing to join him, having directly switched allegiance from Moonlight.

Following Kodo’s switch, the group that had worked under Moonlight also transferred over en masse.

They already had experience managing Newland and quickly helped He Ao to set up a framework.

Then, He Ao invited Kalin and others who had returned from the Underground Palace to join the organization; their extensive hunting experience in the Underground Palace was useful for dealing with common monsters lurking in the shadows.

Kalin and colleagues had seen ’Hao Yi’ and, knowing that he was a friend of He Ao’s, joined without a second thought.

Kodo was the person in charge, with Kalin as his deputy.

And while responding to He Ao’s words, Kodo turned his head to Chen Lin, who was standing beside him, "How much longer will you be staying here?"

"I don’t know,"

Chen Lin shook his head, gazing at the ruins of houses around him, "I’ll have to stay at least until everything here is properly settled."

He had become the official person in charge from the Research Institute in Newland, responsible for managing the ’support troops’ that the Research Institute sent to Newland.

"Why don’t you go and look for your little minister?"

Kodo leaned in carefully, "If you can convince him to come over, I’m willing to be his assistant."

"Don’t you dislike Minister He?"

Chen Lin glanced at him.

"Cough, personal feelings are one thing, ability is another,"

Kodo coughed, "Although your little minister is a bit young, his abilities are somewhat impressive."

"Forget it,"

Chen Lin smiled, "Minister He is the apple of the dean’s and Minister Yang’s eyes. If I dared to persuade Minister He to switch, I probably wouldn’t know by tomorrow where I’d be sent off to freeze in some ice-covered terrain."

"Is your dean that petty?"

Kodo asked, a bit puzzled.

"Shh, what are you saying?"

Chen Lin quickly put his hand over Kodo’s mouth, "The dean is still in Newland helping to organize the transfer of city-state powers."

While the two were chatting, He Ao ahead had already walked far away.

Even though the surrounding streets were still littered with the ruins of collapsed buildings, the commercial district of Core Island had already regained its former bustle.

He Ao walked quietly along this street where desolation and prosperity coexisted.

"How much for these kebabs?"

He Ao stopped at a stall.

"Ten Golden Shields each, my skewers are all solid lamb, really delicious,"

The kebab vendor turned the skewers, looked up at He Ao subconsciously, then hesitated and said with some confusion, "Sir, have we met somewhere before?"

"A lot of people say that,"

He Ao shrugged nonchalantly, glanced at a fifty-Golden Shield bill in his pocket, placed the bill on the counter, and requested, "Give me five skewers."

"We really have met somewhere,"

The street vendor collected the five skewers and handed them to He Ao, then he took the banknote, handed it back to He Ao, and said, "I can’t take this money."

"Since when does a vendor not take money?"

He Ao smiled, shook his head, and turned to continue down the street.

"Wait a second!"

Chasing after him with the money in hand, the vendor suddenly lost sight of He Ao.

"Bro, what’s going on?"

A young guy ran out from the shop behind the stall.

"Remember that really scary dream I told you about before?"

The vendor looked confusedly at the money in his hand, "I think I just saw the person from my dream, the one who killed the monster and saved me."

...

As He Ao continued to browse the bustling commercial street, he was enveloped by the crowd.

"Big brother, big brother, do you need an amulet?"

A familiar child’s voice suddenly called out ahead.

He Ao looked up to see a little girl with a bamboo basket turning her head towards him.

It seemed that the little girl remembered He Ao, as she immediately ran over and asked, "Big brother, would you like an amulet? K will protect you."

"K?"

He Ao was startled and said with some confusion, "Wasn’t it the Goddess of Luck and Storms before?"

"Don’t you know, big brother?"

The little girl blinked, leaned in carefully, and spoke, "They say that the recent big earthquake and storm were caused by the Goddess of Storms’s wrath, wanting to completely destroy Newland, and then a divine being named K stood up and saved all of us. So now K is the guardian deity of Newland."

"Who said that?"

He Ao was somewhat puzzled.

"Everyone’s talking about it,"

the little girl said with a giggle, pointing to a place in her basket where a grass-woven amulet that had undergone some kind of change, a somewhat blurry but glowing humanoid pattern on it, "Amulets of K are really selling well."

He Ao looked around and indeed saw many people holding such amulets.

He examined the amulets in the girl’s basket closely and saw that they were not much different from the previous Goddess of Luck’s amulets; they seemed to be modified versions of the old ones.

"Speaking of which, are your parents also nearby?"

He Ao asked her, puzzled.

This question made the little girl subconsciously glance around before she shrank back a bit and cautiously replied, "My mom and dad went missing before, and they’ve only recently come back, they’re at work. They don’t want me selling amulets on the street, but Granny and I folded so many, it would be a shame not to sell them."

"Aren’t you going to school?"

He Ao asked her with a smile.

"I’m going soon, really soon,"

the little girl replied, obviously excited, "I’m going to school tomorrow. Dad said a really kind-hearted VIP came to Newland who gave a lot of subsidies to many schools, so now many kids on Wenlan Island can go to school."

Then she rummaged in her basket, took out a newer amulet, and handed it to He Ao, "Big brother, this is for you. K will protect you."

He Ao accepted the brand new amulet.

He then crouched down slightly, took a skewer of meat from his bag, and handed it to the little girl, "Then big brother will also give you a gift."

The little girl looked at the skewer, swallowing her saliva, but didn’t immediately take it.

"Worried I’m a bad guy?"

He Ao asked with a smile.

"You can tell just by looking that you’re a good guy, big brother,"

the little girl paused, glanced at the packaging bag in her hand, and continued thoughtfully, "But this would sell for at least 10 Golden Shields, while my amulet only sells for 1 Golden Shield."

"You gave me a gift, and I’m giving you a gift,"

He Ao looked at her smilingly, "They are both gifts, is there a difference?"

The little girl scratched her head, seeming to find He Ao’s words quite reasonable. She cautiously reached out and took the skewer of meat from He Ao, "Thank you, big brother."

"K will protect you,"

He Ao said with a smile.

"And K will also protect big brother!"

The little girl raised the skewer, then ran off with her bamboo basket, "Amulets for sale! ’K’s amulets! Does anyone want an amulet?"

"They’ve clearly lost the memories of those days."

A voice arose behind He Ao, belonging to Kalin, who had changed into the gendarmerie uniform and was patrolling nearby.

"Perhaps in this world, there are always some things that even transcendent powers cannot erase," Kalin said, slowly.

Kodo had also caught up and spoke leisurely.

Chen Lin stood beside him.

He Ao stood up and shared the skewers of meat he held with the three behind him.

The bright sunlight fell on the streets, on the smiling faces of the passersby.

----

Rodan Kingdom

He Ao’s actual body stood beside the bed, gazing at the sunset outside the window.

He had returned to Rodan and was again in charge of the organization of the Rodan Research Institute.

At that moment, the personality card interface unfolded before his eyes.

After Super Memory was promoted to B-level, the personality card interface had changed, allowing him to exchange "Usurper," "Saint," and the "Dream Phantom" he had obtained from the last Copy World, which were previously non-exchangeable.

However, He Ao had been busy these past few days and only now had the time to look at these personality cards.

"Usurper" and "Saint" both required seven Exchange Stars to exchange, whereas "Dream Phantom" needed nine.

Behind these three cards were the affairs of a Divine Being, bringing unpredictable dangers.

As He Ao gazed at these three personality cards, the countdown for upgrading his personality card interface in his field of view also reached its endpoint.

[Exchange System upgrade complete]

[The following are the points updated in the Exchange System (click to view detailed content):]

[1. Added multi-role simultaneous use (up to 2)]

[2. Added ’personality card abilities’ for exchange]

He Ao focused his attention on the update notifications for the personality cards.

This upgrade was much simpler than the previous overall system upgrades; it was just an upgrade of the exchange system, and the descriptions were more general.

He Ao opened up the content of both update points.

[Multi-role simultaneous use function: When using personality cards, you can use Exchange Stars to synchronize the use of an additional character (including the current Copy World character), with a maximum of two characters being used simultaneously.]

The feature was simple; He Ao could henceforth control two characters simultaneously using Exchange Stars.

Previously he could only control one character synchronously, and while using a personality card character, the current Copy World character would fall into a slumber.

[Personality card ability exchange: In addition to exchanging for their usage time, already exchanged personality cards can also have their special abilities’ usage time exchanged separately. (The consumption of Exchange Stars is four times that of exchanging for the personality card’s usage time.)]

So far, He Ao had only exchanged for two personality cards, "Primeval Flame" and "King of Nightfall," both of which were used in the last Copy World and were currently cooling down.

He Ao’s attention shifted to these two cards.

[Please exchange for personality abilities within the Copy World]

It seemed that they could not be used in the main world; however, since no ’cooling down’ message popped up, they appeared to be unaffected by the cooldown period.

In fact, the upgrade description had already laid out all the main information.

The advantage of ability exchange lay in not having to wait for cooldown times and in the possibility to use a character’s abilities separated from the character’s main body without touching it.

He Ao shifted his gaze back to the three cards related to the Divine Being that were now exchangeable.

These character abilities were likely not as rich as the original characters’ abilities and might not achieve the same effects, but they also implicitly stripped away the risks tied to the original character and could enhance the strength of the current Copy World character in the short term.

If the risks associated with a personality card were low, using the personality card directly was the best option, but if the risks were high, exchanging abilities became a viable alternative.

However, from another perspective, if one could understand the abilities on the personality card in advance, it might help to mitigate the risks associated with the card.

But there are no absolutes in the world, and an appropriate combination of uses could potentially yield much better results than the mere use of a personality card alone.

He Ao retracted his gaze, contemplative.

The two abilities from this upgrade were both enhancements to him.

It seems that the upcoming Copy Worlds would introduce some complex elements.

As he pondered, new text also appeared in his view.
