Chapter 157: Chapter 101: Understanding the Door of Variations, Acquiring Mutant Abilities_2

The canary’s voice came, "Bloody gem, it’s a heavy rain."

Qi Yuan glanced at it. Its feathers were mostly wet and shivering, "I am not afraid of the rain. Go back to your nest, you won’t look pretty with your feathers all wet."

"Tsk!" The canary sheltered under a banana leaf, "We are neighbors. I pity you for being without hands and feet... achoo..."

"A canary can sneeze?" Qi Yuan was seeing this for the first time.

The canary, drenched and a bit cold, turned its head away, not wanting to look at Qi Yuan.

Quietly, Qi Yuan said, "Fire."

Suddenly, a faint flame rose up between the two.

Seeing this, the canary’s eyes moved rapidly, "You can use spells?"

"Acquired through the Door of Marvels, it’s a tiny ability, but unstable."

This ability acquired was different from Qi Yuan’s fireball spell in the Vast Wave Realm.

The fireball spell could be used in the Vast Wave Realm but would have no effect in the game.

However, Qi Yuan had a premonition that the abilities gained through the Door of Marvels could be used in both the Windy Realm and the Vast Wave Realm.

This was somewhat similar to his gaming skills.

Although this ability seemed to be of no use, Qi Yuan felt that it had enormous potential.

"Wow, Bloody Gem, you are so powerful. Why haven’t I gained anything from pondering the Door of Marvels — my vision even seems a bit blurry." The canary moved closer to the flame, feeling comfortably drowsy and a bit warmer.

"Could you be short-sighted? You look at the sky; how can you get nearsighted? Maybe, you should stop pondering."

"No, I want to become beautiful!" The canary stubbornly proclaimed, then changed the subject, "Do you smell something odd, like something burnt?"

Qi Yuan glanced at it. His flame had set the canary’s tail on fire: "...Your tail is on fire."

"Ah... Uh... My tail feathers are on fire!"

"Bloody Gem, you will not be left alone by me!"

The banana leaf was lifted, rain poured onto the canary’s feathers, and the fire was put out.

There were scorch marks left on its tail.

The vain creature just couldn’t accept this outcome.

It glared at Qi Yuan.

"I will ignore you for the rest of my life."

Like a sulky child, it scampered back to its own nest.

Looking at its tail, the canary looked wronged.

It muttered, "Bloody Gem, if you don’t come to talk to me, I will not respond."

The canary watched the heavy rain outside and decided to sleep in its nest.

It seemed that only sleep could alleviate the pain in its heart.

At night, a broad banana leaf fell on top of Qi Yuan, blocking most of the rainfall.

Qi Yuan took a glance at the bird’s nest with a unique structure that could provide shelter from wind and rain.

Swiftly, he saw the flustered canary in it. Seeing that it was caught, the canary glared angrily at Qi Yuan.

"What are you looking at? If you don’t apologize, I will never forgive you."

In the following days, the canary indeed stopped chatting with Qi Yuan.

It appeared its feathers got burnt and it being naturally fond of beauty, was really angry.

Qi Yuan continued pondering the Door of Marvels, and his unusual abilities kept increasing.

After a whole year, his unusual abilities nearly reached a hundred.

The rest of the strange things turned out to be transitory.

"Hey, Bloody Gem, when will you apologize for me!"

One evening, the canary showed up in front of Qi Yuan.

Its tail had already regrown and was staring angrily at Qi Yuan.

After a year, it finally recognized Qi Yuan.

"...Who are you?" Qi Yuan felt a bit confused.

"You...You forgot me. Unforgivable!" The canary looked at Qi Yuan, its feathers seemed to bristle, it kept pacing around Qi Yuan.

"Oh, you’re the canary. I remember now. Thanks for the banana leaf," Qi Yuan thought hard, remembered, and burst into laughter.

The canary glared at Qi Yuan, "You’re not like the fish in the river with a bad memory, are you?"

Time passed, twenty-seven years blinked past.

Qi Yuan’s body changed from the size of a small pellet to the size of a football.

The unusual abilities had nearly reached a thousand.

The Door of Marvels above the sky also gradually became illusory, seemingly fainter and might disappear at any moment.

"Bloody Gem, who do you think is prettier between me and the white fox of Seven Plate Mountain?" The canary fluttered its wings and landed in front of Qi Yuan.

There are several mountains range around Nine Plate Mountain.

On Seven Plate Mountain, there was a white fox that could speak human language, which was the most popular existence among the nearby mountains.

A golden or silver nest is not as good as one’s doghouse.

"You are the most beautiful." Qi Yuan’s words were not from his heart, comforting his neighbor.

"I knew it! I’m the most beautiful. Those guys are all blind. They named that white fox the number one beauty!" The canary grumbled discontentedly.

Suddenly, the canary looked up at the sky with a dumbfounded look on its face, "Bloody Gem, the Door of Marvels that you have been watching...is gone. Don’t be sad."

"Bloody Gem?"

"Bloody Gem?!!"

...

Am I back?

Pondering the origin, come and go in haste.

Qi Yuan opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings; he was back in the Unreturned City.

"So, this is what pondering the origin feels like?"

Qi Yuan recalled the Door of Marvels above the sky.

He pondered for twenty-seven years, and what he gained the most was unusual abilities.
