｛I have invested 10N into the Qiji Brand Dual-Face Golden Skull Gem Pendant.｝
The current “｛-Radiance: Glory Radiance｝ ” priced by the distributor could go for a fifty percent premium over the standard ten-thousand-two-hundred-layer moonlight essence. Yang Zicang figured this was hardly a loss.
As for that other “｛-Radiance: Glory Radiance｝ ” they used to contain the demonic blood corruption, Yang Zicang felt its valuation might have been a bit on the low side.
Yang Zicang extended the pendant forward, which on its gem was rapidly forming another faint, spinning gray-white speck of light.
The distributor before him grabbed the disfigured golden pendant with trembling hands, his excitement palpable as he sensed the intent contained within that single speck of light on the beacon.
-｛Radiance: Glory Radiance: A Wealthy Night for a Lonesome Sea Distributor.｝
Seeing that Mr. Di An, who wasn’t even wearing his military jacket, was completely immersed in a joy that shone brighter than moonlight, Yang Zicang…
A faint smile of companionship appeared on Yang Zicang’s face. He was a bit embarrassed, having sold no fragment of Glory Radiance to this second-layer moon realm distributor over the past three months.
“Should I transfer it now? “
Afraid that Yang Zicang might back out, even though customers could purchase through the branch beacon, the moment Dioran finished speaking, the two specks of faint light still rotating on the eye socket gem of the golden skull were reflected onto the ring on his hand.
In less than two breaths, this pinpoint of light within the golden eye socket dissipated, while on Dioran’s ring, a flickering point of light rotated and shimmered even more brightly on the arched crystal gem.
The Moon Person beamed with joy and handed back the pendant, “Chairman Yang, you’re truly someone capable of handling major affairs. Look how quickly this was done.“
-｛Distributor May Valkyrie, speaking from rich experience, indicates that I am composing a prelude to a brilliant new node.｝
Yang Zicang took the golden pendant, his finger twitching slightly.
The young man cleared his throat softly, his expression shifting as if he had realized something. He glanced lightly at Lina’s silhouette and said:
“Mr. Dioran, if within a radiance of glory were contained information that qualifies as discovering the Ancient Gold level… would it mean—I’m guessing—though still inferior to that flash , it is nonetheless something no ordinary glow can compare to, isn’t it?“
The Distributor, watching the two beams of light in the ring, let out a “Eh?“
This hint from Ms. Fujian…
Countless guesses immediately surged in Yang Zicang’s mind. First, as the memory brought by the inn’s key, which persists until dusk today, continued to be rewritten, the crisis might also arrive ahead of schedule. If so, time might prove insufficient.
Would it be safer to try yet again to gather two million chronological points before feeling more assured?
Moreover, he could already sense that, even now adrift upon this Mist Sea, within such a short span of time, two surges of regret were already about to burst forth. At the very least, the moment he saw Liana’s lonely silhouette, he had clearly perceived that flicker of emotion rise. But such feelings are only human.
Yet the conversation had touched upon the experiences of the gentleman before him, along with the instructions Manager Mus had given him.
Sigh!Yang Zicang forcefully suppressed his own recovery of those memories.
Damn it—was this full-force feedback from the awareness of an era’s destiny, or was someone targeting him specifically? And this was the Mist Sea, of all places!
At that moment, the C. D. An seated behind the table slowed his tone, nodded calmly, and said thoughtfully, “Mm, that’s right. Ancient Gold is information of the utmost value to you all, here in this world. Heh, the worth of that radiance is indeed extraordinary. “
Diane revealed an appreciative smile. “Even if I were to acquire it, I could not reduce its value by concealing this piece of news. “
“Ancient Gold… ” Liana muttered to herself as she listened to their exchange from the side, unable to grasp the meaning behind it.
With his hand resting on the table beside the teacup, Yang Zicang recalled the name of the Radiance that had been born moments ago, then remembered the information Lord Lai had provided, and, his eyes shifting slightly, he spoke.
“Apart from Chronoc a certain radiance sun Shadow Scattering—I will listen. What else is priceless in the radiance and gleam, besides true/right ｛attribute-less｝ names? No matter, it’s Chronoc Calm and Moonlight here? “
His gaze appeared solemnly resolute.
Seeing this, Diane immediately showed a faint hint of fluster, as if ready to dodge and divert her words at any moment.
Yang Zicang let out a turbid sigh. This guy really was something else.
Mr. Lai told me that informing others of the information about Radiance would come at a great cost. This guy should know that. Why can’t he just cooperate a little?
His gaze drifted toward the pigeons outside the window.
“Hey, friend Buchen, ” Dian An said, suppressing his calm demeanor for only a few seconds before reverting to his usual self, a mix of ordinary commonness and a hint of cunning like the local tyrant of the Lighthouse Outpost. He rushed over, slung an arm around Yang Zicang’s shoulders, and whispered low enough for Yang Zicang, now feeling the weight on his shoulders:
“If you guys go and try hard on the land yourselves, you will gain… “
“I remember you said that some of your intelligence here needs to be exchanged with Radiance. “
Dian An’s words got stuck in his throat.
Yang Zicang’s eyes fell onto the ring of Mr. Lai lying quietly on the desk, placed on top of a transaction contract.
“Ah… well, fine. ” Dian An sighed helplessly and removed his arm.
-｛Distributor Valkyrie, with their rich experience, marked a new node for the glorious prelude conceived for me.｝
Dian An picked up Mr. Lai’s ring, forced a smile, and sneered:
“Apart from its value in trades, the most precious part of the ‘Heroic Flash’ is, of course, using the events and experiences it contains to resonate with another fate that will yield similar results. As for other ways to use Radiance… you already know them. “
Yang Zicang lightly pinched the cheeks of the little double-sided golden skeleton with a hint of satisfaction.
“These are all their wealth.” Di’an’s voice came through.
Yang Zicang bulged his eyes in surprise.
-｛Distributor Valkyrie wishes to pre-purchase my current Radiance Prequel.｝
Di’an, as if letting out a great sigh of frustration— “Ahhh“—set down Mr. Lai’s private custom ring, “As for the Radiance, well, it can also be used to reverse the momentum of certain events within a limited scope. Just like what the Crossing People do. But with that kind of thing, you’ve still got a long way to go.“
His large hand, lacking much warmth, patted heavily on Yang Zicang’s shoulder. “This counts as my investment in you, friend.” With that, he casually slid over the contract to acquire the Radiance on behalf of Mist Ocean Trading, using his fingertip to nudge the table, pulled out a pen, and handed it to the young man beside him.
“Gurugoo…” Three more doves were resting outside the window, occasionally flapping their wings as they watched.
Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the damp, stone lighthouse.
Flap flap flap!
Several doves flew down from a height.
—
The little speaker hung around the gray dove’s neck let out a distorted voice: “Mr. Buchen, I am Duli. I can deliver some trinkets to certain people for you, who will then quickly send you the stories about the glass lamp.“
“No need, thank you.“
— “Sure you won’t reconsider?“
Yang Zicang waved his arms to shoo them away, grabbed the little girl’s arm, and hurried forward a few steps.
Unable to move far from distributor Di’an’s sales station, the fat pigeons belonging to the other distributors could only hover and circle in the sky. Through the noisy bang of microphones, they heard voices tinged with regret as they watched two figures dash toward the edge of the small coral island.
“Lianna, I’ve already asked Brother Di’an to take extra care of you. ” By the seaward cliff, Yang Zicang turned around and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to take you to the mainland, but once we return, all kinds of misfortune will cling to you before long, and it could even cost you your life. “
“I know. ” Lianna nodded with an “mm-hmm ” and smiled. “Brother Tato Mingqi told me all about this. “
She made little effort to hide her feelings, speaking with a slight opening of her heart as she gazed into the distance. Patting the sides of her body with both arms, she said, “From now on, the only place I can stay is probably this sea, shrouded in mist. “
……
Inside a shelter at the Golden Shell Heritage site.
In the underground bunker hall shrouded by heavy nuclear radiation.
The aged Principal Kim Fairman burst through a door. Pulling off his helmet, he slammed the bulky wired radio, as tall as his entire arm, heavily onto the ground, shattering its wooden shell and twisting the metal protective mesh around its edges.
But from within still came a faint, crackling electronic hiss.
“You deceived me! “
The century-old schoolmaster was red-eyed with anger.
“You deceived me!!! “
“Principal Feierman, ” came a voice from a room diagonally opposite. Anna Beiru, wearing a black protective suit and holding an Ability Sphere, ran out and reached for the old man’s arm. “You haven’t rested yet. “
The old man knocked her hand away with force. “Get lost! Demon! “
His aged, trembling face was filled with rage. Seeing that this girl was about to use that Secret Fruit again—the one that always filled his body with a soothing warmth—a violent wave of nausea rose in his throat. He swung his palm at her retracted, clenched right hand, but she dodged, and his strike hit only air.
Bang~ The Ability Sphere dispersed, dissolving into a spreading, faint breeze.
— “Sizzle, sizzle… “
“Don’t get agitated, Principal Feierman. Everyone else has turned in for the night. You should go back too… “
“Then you tell me! ” The old man once again shook off the hands of the girl reaching for him, and pointed at the radio on the floor. “Why isn’t it making noise? Huh? Why isn’t it working? Damn you Wufang bastards, you’ll go to hell! All of you… “
A figure rushed over quickly and covered the old principal’s mouth, smothering his voice.
Anna Beiru looked at Agent Zhang Yu, who had been sent by the Organization, her expression filled with sorrow.
“We are already looking into this, Schoolmaster, ” the man covering his mouth spoke from behind. “Ms. Zhao Man is confirming with our lead contact, Jin Baiyun, exactly where things went wrong with this long-term effort of ours. “
“Meaning… the bonfire and the heat they mentioned… “
The man saw a scientist from the Golden Shell Federation, Leyn Corvic, emerge from the other end of the hall, his entire body exuding a creeping villain aura.
This once-towering figure in Golden Shell’s physics research world walked forward step by step with an emotionless gait, as if he had transformed into some kind of ghastly being.
“Temperature is the signal. Where there is a campfire, there is human civilization. Is that not so? “
“This… is demonic. “
“RIGHT?! ” Leyn Corvic suddenly looked up, his madness-filled voice shouting like a detonated grenade.
“Mister, you… ” Zhang Yu released his grip helplessly, pulled an Ability Sphere from his pocket, and rushed forward. But the next second, he saw Corvic’s throat bulge—he spat out a mouthful of blood, his head shook upward, his body went limp, and he crashed to his knees with athud.
Clutching the Ability Sphere, Zhang Yu ran to his side and watched as the old man’s breathing rapidly faded, his murky eyes fixed on him.
Zhang Yu slowly came to a stop and let out a sigh.
Aware of the string of “poor reviews ” flashing through his consciousness from the earpiece, the unflappable Zhang Yu had no choice but to straighten his face. Zhang Yu locked dead on with the old headmaster, apathetic-as-a-general from after, near to say you have for him-and-at, make effort out so hard out.
Back at the given an out and turn she was re from each thought low be work simple con on side to track just now turning firm into a joke step.
But now… “Unveiling the Future ” had only been running for a few days, and these two…
“Answer me. You two already knew all this. “
“I… didn’t know. ” Zhang Yu shook his head.
He then saw a thin, somewhat frail figure emerge from deeper within the passageway. An elderly woman, wearing a lightweight protective suit made of special materials, also duly wore a protective helmet with a semi-transparent visor.
……
“How is the situation on the Jin Bei’s Legacy side? “
A voice came from the darkness.
“Zhao Man is contacting Jin Baiyun, urgently confirming some personnel… “
“Hmph. “
