Chapter 291: 154, Earth Treasure, Present World 2
But because the difficulty was too high, only the most exceptional within each level had the ability to explore.
“Then you prepare well.”
Lin Qing, using Telekinesis Transmission, said, “You haven’t been online in the past few months. Why did you log on this time?”
“Miss Irenado didn’t let me come in before…” Zhao Jiayi transmitted with some gloom, “I don’t know why, but today I just tried asking Miss Irenado once, and she agreed.”
Lin Qing felt something was off.
The Divine Position Trial carried a certain mortality rate. Was it because she was worried Zhao Jiayi might die in the Divine Position Trial that she let her come to see him one last time?
“Is your Divine Position Trial very dangerous?” Lin Qing couldn’t help but ask.
“Not at all…” transmitted Zhao Jiayi, “Miss Irenado said as long as I use my hidden ability, I should be able to protect myself no matter what, so there shouldn’t be any danger…”
Hearing this, Lin Qing suddenly remembered her ability to make people disappear inexplicably and felt a bit relieved.
Indeed, he still hadn’t understood what Zhao Jiayi’s ability was. Since Miss Irenado said that, she must really have the ability to protect herself.
“That’s good then.” Lin Qing didn’t ask further, only saying, “Be careful during your examination.”
Zhao Jiayi, while stealing glances at his eyes, transmitted using Telekinesis, “I haven’t seen you in months. I don’t even know if you’ve changed.”
“No changes at all,” Lin Qing casually said.
“Oh…” Zhao Jiayi then asked, “Do you still eat breakfast alone?”
Zhao Jiayi sneakily transmitted with Telekinesis, chatting with him about this and that for a while, then she suddenly couldn’t help but mutter in their hometown dialect.
“He didn’t call me his darling treasure or say he missed me…”
“Darling treasure wasn’t something I said…” Lin Qing, somewhat at a loss for words, glanced at her, then still transmitted using Telekinesis, “Come back early once you’re done; it’s rather boring here alone.”
Zhao Jiayi blinked, sensing that he seemed to really want her to come back soon, which made her a bit happy.
After the meeting’s interaction phase started, Lin Qing typically brought up that question.
“Regarding the ‘Celestial Vault Islands’ first layer in the Earth region of the Second Cosmic Network, does anyone have any information? I can pay with points.”
He had earned some points over the past six months.
For instance, completing a request from a member of the Dusk Front would earn him certain points.
Although not many, he still had many items left that could be exchanged for points, such as various precious potions left by Dr. Chu Hui at the research base.
Unfortunately, after this question was asked, not a single person spoke up.
Lin Qing couldn’t help feeling somewhat helpless, but he wasn’t very disappointed either.
After all, information about Sky Island was top secret to everyone.
Even with the strong confidentiality of the Dusk Front, and even if these people knew much, they couldn’t breach the contract of the Second Cosmic Network.
So, he didn’t harbor much hope.
He just thought about gathering as much information as possible.
If not possible, he planned to specifically monitor those most vast Sky Islands.
According to the exploration pattern of the Celestial Vault Islands, the larger the Sky Island, the tougher the tests set up, and the more difficult the test, the more astounding the reward hidden behind it.
He just didn’t know what the specific rewards were and if exploring them might waste opportunities.
Lin Qing glanced over the crowd behind the meeting table, saw no one speaking up, and couldn’t help but shake his head slightly before finally sitting down.
After he sat down, Zhao Jiayi suddenly transmitted using Telekinesis, “Lin Qing, are you also going to explore the Celestial Vault Islands?”
“Yes,” Lin Qing transmitted back, “I was thinking more information might make it more efficient, but the information about the treasure is too important; even if these people know, they can’t tell.”
“Oh,” Zhao Jiayi said cautiously, “I know some information about the Sky Islands. Would you like to try?”
“You do?” Lin Qing couldn’t help but look at her.
Zhao Jiayi acted like a child who had done something guilty, somewhat nervously said, “I accidentally found an uncle’s made three-dimensional map of a Sky Island when I was practicing my ability according to the methods Miss Irenado mentioned. It had brief descriptions of several Sky Islands marked on it…”
“A three-dimensional map of the Sky Island?” Lin Qing was slightly startled.
Zhao Jiayi had just mentioned that uncle also needed to explore the Sky Island, perhaps he really knew something about the Sky Island?
“That’s not right… How could your Telekinesis discover such top-secret information? And why specifically make a three-dimensional map?”
Lin Qing was somewhat incredulous.
Even with his current brain, his memory and spatial imagination far exceeded ordinary people, enough to clearly remember many three-dimensional structures in his mind.
If he could remember it in his mind, why bother making a map?
“I don’t know either,” said Zhao Jiayi, “Uncle’s secret room can block Telekinesis. I didn’t use Telekinesis to find it; I used my ability.”
Lin Qing was somewhat puzzled.
Zhao Jiayi hadn’t awakened Authority; she just tested that her ability name was ‘Gate of Boundless,’ needing more than twenty thousand kilograms of Starry Sky Source Stones.
What other ability did she have?
Could she be referring to that ability that made people disappear without a trace?
Thinking this way, it seemed possible that Zhao Jiayi could have discovered such classified information, though the crafting of the information into a map still seemed odd.
“Could you explain more?” Lin Qing didn’t mince words with Zhao Jiayi.
Zhao Jiayi thought for a moment, then transmitted, “The lower level of Sky Islands had more markings, the middle layer had very few, and the upper layer didn’t have any.”
She instantly started recalling and continued:
