Xue Dili watched the scene in the distance among the crowd, his mouth agape.
It wasn't until the green light came on, and the vehicles around began to hustle across the street, that he followed the flow of people.
He was shocked by these people from Silver City; their ability to integrate into their surroundings was too exaggerated. In just over two weeks, Xue Dili felt they were like local natives of Jiang City.
Especially their deftness in avoiding uncles and finding shortcuts, abilities that Xue Dili, who had lived in Jiang City for over ten years, did not possess.
Only then did he start to marvel at this group of people. Even though they were natives of the Fairy Tale World, their abilities were exceptional, able to swiftly adapt and climb the ranks ruthlessly no matter where they were.
Perhaps, for them, Blue Star, this land of extreme order, was instead the easiest place to live.
And in the shadows unknown to Xue Dili, legends such as "the yellow flash of delivery" began to circulate in Jiang City.
…
Today was another day full of classes.
Xue Dili glanced at his Consciousness Space, with only an hour left before new travelers would appear there.
In class, the teacher began talking about the contents of clinical diagnostics.
Xue Dili even had the illusion that when the teacher mentioned a concept, he could immediately recall all the content of that knowledge point in his mind, knowledge from the parallel world's Doctor Xue Dili.
Although that knowledge was like flowers in a mirror, the moon in water for him now, not knowledge he learned himself, forcibly cramming it into his mind would only leave a lasting impression like watching a movie once.
Yet this knowledge allowed Xue Dili to learn the entire book of Clinical Diagnostics in an extremely short span. While the teacher was still on the first chapter, he had already comprehended the whole book.
There was even countless clinical and dissection experience from another Doctor Xue Dili within...
He rubbed his temples; having another version of himself too strong wasn't good, as even now, he dared not fully open these memories, fearing his brain would be overwhelmed by knowledge.
What would his alternate self have been like if he hadn't received preferential treatment from this Consciousness Space and his mother?
A total ultimate grinder, secretly nurturing bacteriophages, with one foot stepping into mysticism and attempting to cultivate bacteriophages against Qijela through his shallow mysticism and medical knowledge.
Fortunately, his other self had good luck; if his research had been discovered earlier by those mystic scholars, he wouldn't have made it in time to save them, and the young couple would have fallen victim to the mystic scholars long ago.
After class, the elder mask transformed into a medical mask and remained on his face, even though Xue Dili hadn't updated any videos for almost a month now, he was still one of the few "legendary figures" in the entire department.
He hadn't been managing that TT account recently either, as it was initially meant to spread his old friends' stories, but after his old friends got online themselves, his interest waned.
Now, those friends were combating evil in the parallel world, where over six hundred million people not even Light could save, and the remnants of mystic scholars, their lives were undoubtedly more exciting than his.
So the initial goal was essentially accomplished, and he didn't plan to invest more effort into it, not caring about the video's profits.
Besides the initial earnings from video plays coming into the account, recently he received several new play revenue, even with the exclusion of over two hundred thousand US Dollars lent to the Silver City's people, he still had an additional income of tens of thousands of US Dollars.
Moreover, in the coming months, there would be a steady income of several thousand US Dollars monthly.
But it was a pity if the account was left idle; he could find someone to manage it instead of Xue Dili.
After class, Xue Dili found a secluded spot, silently waiting for new travelers to arrive and pondering other miscellaneous matters.
"Maybe later, if I have time, I could ask my mom for some materials, upload videos of my friends fighting monsters in the parallel world, and then step completely behind the scenes?" Xue Dili roughly thought about how to maintain that account in the future.
The account might not even need him to work. He could find someone specifically to handle these duties, like a reliable person from Silver City, teaching them video editing and account management, then he would only need to hand over parts of the videos each time.
After all, weren't they also looking for work? Working there or here is basically the same, and at least here they're familiar faces, unlikely to get cheated with contracts or anything.
Just then, there was a fluctuation in the Consciousness Space.
A pitch-black Teleportation Gate appeared, transmitting an incomparably evil aura that instantly made Xue Dili's hair stand on end and feel a sense of dread.
He immediately prepared to be on guard, watching the countdown in his Consciousness Space.
3…2…1
A long boot resembling a centipede exoskeleton stepped out, followed by heavy footsteps coming from the Teleportation Gate, merging perfectly with the dark environment in appearance. A black robe swayed gently with his movements, adorned with complex runes shimmering in a ghostly red glow.
The robe's deep V design revealed the non-human characteristics of his upper body, skin like a blend of scales and exoskeleton, exuding an overbearing presence over three meters tall.
Finally, a shadowy old man with a beard emerged from the Teleportation Gate.
Unlike the Old Dengs Xue Dili had seen before, this one just stood there, exuding an aura of wild dominance and arrogance. His over-three-meter height and his ominous presence made Xue Dili stay vigilant.
The kind of being that, wherever you throw them in any Otherworld, would surely be a "Demon King" level existence.
In fact, Xue Dili felt his strength...
Quasi-5th Tier!
Xue Dili: "..."
After wandering through various worlds for so long, he already knew that Quasi-5th Tier was the limit of regular creatures. To surpass the 5th Tier, you'd need to come up with some bizarre methods.
A normal carbon-based creature would be stuck at the Quasi-5th Tier level no matter what. To transcend to 5th Tier and reach what the Black Mist Council calls "Apostle Level," Xue Dili only knew of a few possibilities.
Either burst forth with Idealist Power like Uncle Brave from the Interstellar Corps, which would only temporarily push you to 5th Tier, or pile up large amounts of Divine Wood Fruit to reach 5th Tier, or seize the authority of the world, or absorb and merge fragments of the Venerable King...
However, this last step is a bad idea because if you try to absorb the Venerable King's fragments, it's most likely you'll end up like Old Green within the Evil Eye; instead of merging with the Venerable King, the fragments will merge you.
As for the Shabu Insect Race, the cosmos's calamity, they are also related to the Black Mist Council and the Venerable King and are heavily modified beyond the scope of regular creatures.
This means the visitor this time, like Great Sage Old Deng, is at the limit of regular creatures, a Quasi-5th Tier character. Given that Great Sage at Quasi-5th Tier can cast quite a few 5th Tier spells...
Veteran Quasi-5th Tier individuals can generally temporarily reach 5th Tier combat power or use some 5th Tier spells and abilities, but the chasm of life energy level traps them at this step.
And now this sinister old man stared intensely at Xue Dili, his head arrogantly raised, allowing Xue Dili to only see his chin.
"Interesting little brat," the old man said, rudely from the start.
Xue Dili: "..."
It looks like this one isn't some kind of good guy... more like some big villain...
Xue Dili felt a headache coming; he'd interacted too much with people on the Order Side and had forgotten how to greet someone from the Chaos Side.
He used to start with a "Lazy talk, ready to listen" for people from the Chaos Side, followed by a "Good grief!" around the corner.
"However, as someone who was defeated like a stray dog, I have nothing to complain about. Since you could summon me from Different Space-Time, tell me, what is your wish? I can grant you a corresponding reward," the old man said, his previously ominous and arrogant expression fading as he began to observe the empty Magic Academy.
He saw the Teleportation Gate on the playground, and the panel system that Great Sage had formed.
And countless fantastic plants and buildings throughout the Magic Academy. He seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, is this a place for nurturing mages? It does bring back memories."
Seeing Xue Dili not speaking, he impatiently said, "Human boy, what kind of reward do you wish from me, the king?"
"Wealth? Power? Or endless beauties surrounding you? I can easily fulfill any blessing you imagine as a reward for bringing me out of that mire, even though I was ready for death in the end."
Xue Dili: "..."
No, you just arrived, talking to yourself with that 'Heaven's first, I'm second' demeanor, pompously offering me things like charity. What are you? A tyrannical president from another world?
And with all your 'I, the king' talk, and a whole bunch of mysterious words, who knows who you are?
"It seems you got one thing wrong; I'm not your subordinate to summon at will. Here, I am the master." Xue Dili pointed to this world and asked.
"Oh, interesting. A Legendary Level boy, huh? Who gave you the courage to talk to a Demigod like me this way?" the sinister old man asked, looking down upon Xue Dili with disdain, never considering the 3rd Tier 68% experience level Xue Dili currently had.
Xue Dili wasn't indulgent. The next moment, he slowly brought out the Mobius Ring.
The Zero Giant Beast, an ability Xue Dili hardly used, as the Celestial Thunder served as a better alternative, making the Zero Giant Beast's ability gather dust in the warehouse.
After the experiences in the Giant Beast World, the original Tier Four advanced Zero Giant Beast's power underwent a transformation, now reaching Quasi-5th Tier. Also Quasi-5th Tier, Xue Dili didn't mind teaching this arrogant Old Deng a lesson this time.
Let him find out who's really the boss around here. Old Biben hasn't seen any Black Society; let's see how long your arrogance can fly!
Next moment, Xue Dili drew out the Mobius Ring, and instantly, an overwhelming towering form and pressure emerged. A terrifying ultimate giant beast stood on the earth, spewing sulfur and radiation from its mouth, akin to the monster king reigning over the earth.
Not only that, but Xue Dili also called out: "Celestial Thunder!"
The next moment, the entire Celestial Thunder transformed into spiritual particle equipment on the Zero Giant Beast, and the magic-tech product of the Celestial Thunder became perfectly covered armor and armament on the Zero Giant Beast under the Fantasy Manifestation.
The surging thruster and the super-sized furnace were perfectly inlaid on Zero, making the Zero Giant Beast like a hundred-meter-tall mechanical steel giant beast.
Powerful Zero, ready for battle!
