Chapter 130: Chapter 116: Does Aina Want to Marry Her Brother? _1 Chapter 130: Chapter 116: Does Aina Want to Marry Her Brother? _1 “So, you’ve caused another ruckus and ‘infiltrated’ the nursing home successfully? Are you sure that’s infiltration?”

Listening to the report of the trio, Lena held her forehead in a headache, not expecting these kids to be so outrageously bold.

“Didn’t I tell you not to act recklessly? What if something happened? And what’s all this about resurrecting and not resurrecting?”

Wei’er looked helplessly towards Luo Xi.

She didn’t know whether she should tell Lena specifically about Luo Xi and Chu Tianwen being resurrected after death.

Luo Xi, on the other hand, was watching the countdown on the text.

[This synchronization session has ended.]

[Traveler, welcome to come again~]

As consciousness returned to reality, Luo Xi stood up from the sofa, supporting himself with one hand.

Then he saw that the sofa made a ‘pop’ sound and another hole broke through.

Ai Xue ran over, shocked at the new large hole on the sofa: “Has the quality of this sofa really degraded this much?! If you’re really tired, Senior, why don’t you go home early to rest today?”

“No need, I’m already well-rested,” Luo Xi shook his head.

“What garbage sofa.” Ai Xue huffed, pulling out her phone. “I’m going to call the store right now and give them a piece of my mind.”

Luo Xi inwardly apologized to the seller of the sofa as he got up and went back to the reception area to continue reading the next lines.

[Traveler, Shopkeeper Lena is very angry at your actions.]

[Chu Tianwen said since you guys won’t die anyway, so just be bold. After seeking wealth at the risk of danger, you ended up being scolded by Shopkeeper Lena until blood ran down your head.]

Luo Xi: “…”

Indeed, would people who didn’t see it for themselves not believe?

[After reprimanding you for several minutes, the shopkeeper finally stopped and shared their findings with you.]

[Lena told you that she indeed found a warehouse in the Winter Workshop filled with many low-quality magic staves, and that all the stores in Winter City were wholesale purchasing from there. A low-quality magic staff only cost 0.5 gold coins.]

[She took out a magic staff she bought there, and after Wei’er dropped her blood on it, confirmed it was no different from the ones you purchased the night before.]

[“Following the trail, I wanted to find the maker of these staves, but the clues stop here,” Shopkeeper Lena gravely said. “The source of these low-quality staves seems to be coming from the Mansion of the City Lord. I saw trucks marked with the city lord’s emblem delivering lots of things, and some of it appears to be these kinds of staves.”]

[“The similarity in standards of these staves is terrifying. Rather than being made by apprentice craftsmen, I’m more inclined to believe they were produced in a short time, all in the same way.”]

[Traveler, hearing Shopkeeper Lena say this, you thought of a word—automation.]

[In the Dream World, the making of most rare weapons seems to require the involvement of craftsmen, or else the so-called weapon’s ‘soul’ can’t be born. But if the demands aren’t high, simply mass-producing weapons, what then?]

[Is there a possibility, in the Dream World, there’s something similar to workshop lathes that can continuously produce items as long as material is input?]

[Traveler, you voiced this idea.]

[Chu Tianwen immediately agreed with your idea.]

[Wei’er and Lena took some time to understand what you were saying.]

[However, the idea of simply inputting materials to spit out weapons and equipment automatically still seemed somewhat fantastical to them.]

[Even the lowest quality staffs are different from swords used only for hacking; without a craftsman skilled in engraving and guiding circuits, the so-called staffs are merely fire sticks.]

[Wei’er speculated, “Is it something mom researched?”]

[“It’s possible,” you said as the Traveler. “Mother-in-law… your mother was so famous in Winter City back then, it wouldn’t be surprising if she invented some revolutionary items.”]

Note: [Garbage Traveler, did you just let some of your inner thoughts slip?]

Of course not, I didn’t say that.

Luo Xi kept a straight face as he flipped through the text.

[Wei’er frowned at you: “Did you just say something?”]

[As the Traveler, you feigned ignorance: “What did I say?”]

[Shopkeeper Lena appeared to be lost in thought and didn’t seem to notice what you said.]

[Aina ran to your side as the Traveler, and tapping on your thigh with her small hand, she looked up at you with a proud smile, “Brother Luo Xi, I heard everything you just said clearly~”]

Luo Xi: “…”

Damn, it was just a slip of the tongue, and now the Little Wolf Girl heard it.

[Coming back to her senses, Shopkeeper Lena asked, “What about you guys? What did you find at the nursing home?”]

[Wei’er said, “Thanks to Luo Xi and them buying time for me, I successfully found that person named Kilis in the depths of the nursing home. He told me that three years ago at the Divine Tree Festival, the old city owner vanished because he was attacked…”]

[As the Traveler, after Cat Cat’s explanation, you learned the information known to Wei’er.]

[Three years ago, Liya indeed took part in that festival and directly caused the situation to shift, vanishing along with many others.]

[“A book? Could it be the True Canon within the Winter Divine Tree?”

Shopkeeper Lena, shocked after hearing this, said, “Could it be the conflicts back then were over the True Canon? But that’s impossible. Only those recognized by the bloodline of Shining City can control the True Canon of the Divine Tree, and the only legitimate controller here in Winter City is the city owner’s bloodline. It’s useless for others to snatch it!”]

[Recorded matter: True Canon]

[Chu Tianwen asked the question you wanted to know: “What is the True Canon?”]

[Wei’er also showed her confusion.]

[Shopkeeper Lena explained, “It’s the most core artifact of every Divine Tree. Regardless of whether a Divine Tree is tens of meters tall, hundreds of meters tall, or even as massive as the four or five hundred meters tall Winter Divine Tree, they all have a ‘True Canon’ within them. The person who controls the True Canon truly controls the entire city, and all True Canons seem to manifest as books.”]

“In Shining Country, only those recognized by Shining City can control the True Canon and become the City Owner, so that’s why I said it’s useless for others to snatch it away.”

Traveler, you ask, “Does the True Canon have any other uses? Is it just for recognizing identity?”

“Of course not,” Shopkeeper Lena continued. “Actually, I’m not very clear, but one of the functions of the True Canon is to grant humanity the pathways to Sublimation. Many low-tier Sublimation pathways that circulate in the market are spread from some smaller Divine Trees. The pathway granted by the Winter Divine Tree is the Winter Pathway, belonging to the Phenomenon-tier Sublimation pathways, encompassing the three major professions of Skill Practitioner, Knight, and Warrior. One can obtain it by joining the Winter Legion.”

“It’s said that the Eternal World Tree also has a True Canon, but the True Canon of the Eternal Divine Tree seems to be called ‘Origin.'”

Shopkeeper Lena provided you, Traveler, with precious information, knowing much more than Cat Cat does.

Traveler, you continue to ask, “Could you talk about things related to Transcendents?”

Lena was taken aback, “Huh? Now? Aren’t we discussing each other’s findings?”

“Sister Lena, I’ve finished talking about what I learned from the sanatorium,” Wei’er said.

“That works too. If your teacher hasn’t told you about these things, then you know very little about them.”

Lena took out a piece of parchment and placed it on the table, “For humanity, there are two paths to becoming Transcendent: Sublimation and Mutation. There’s no need to talk much about Mutation, but for Sublimation, one must follow the omen symbols granted by a Divine Tree or some strange entities, and go through step by step Sublimation.”

“For example, I have here an omen symbol for the ‘Garden Route’ for a first-tier Skill Practitioner. By gathering the materials and fulfilling the omen requirements as described in its pathway, one can successfully Sublimate. This pathway seems to come from a Divine Tree in the Da Yan Empire.”

Traveler, you look at the parchment.

There aren’t many words on the parchment, so you clearly see those few lines.

First-tier ‘Garden Skill Practitioner’ (preceded by zero-tier ‘Garden Apprentice’)

Main medicine: Warm Sunflower Seed (one), Never Freeze Soil (ten kilograms)

Supporting medicine: Origin Beast dung of disaster level or higher, the quantity should be enough to bury a person, the higher the tier of Origin Beast, the better the effect of the dung

Omen: Bury yourself in a mixture of Origin Beast dung and Never Freeze Soil, swallow the Warm Sunflower Seed, and when the Warm Sunflower sprouts from your head, you can successfully advance to a first-tier ‘Garden Skill Practitioner’

Luo Xi: “…”

What the hell? Is this how a Sublimated Venerator advances? It’s so bizarre.

Traveler, you look towards Cat Cat and see that she’s equally shocked.

It makes sense, she had previously said that she had no clue about Sublimation, and Liya had never told them these things before.

Lena chuckled lightly, “Don’t find this omen strange. There are plenty of outrageous demands for omens. I’ve seen pathways where one cannot advance without cutting off that thing.”

The shopkeeper gave you a meaningful look, her gaze shifting downward.

Traveler, you suddenly feel a chill down below.

Lena laughed, “But for you guys, it’s enough just to know about these things. After all, Mutation and Sublimation are basically completely incompatible.”

Chu Tianwen exclaimed excitedly, “What about me? Can I Sublimate to become a Transcendent?”

Lena glanced at him, “Low-tier Sublimation pathways can be bought on the black market if you have money. But even zero-tier Sublimation materials cost several hundred gold coins at least. Do you have that kind of money?”

Chu Tianwen: “No… …”

Traveler, you talked a bit more, and eventually, Shopkeeper Lena steered the conversation to a close.

“We should think about what to do next, but before that, let me go make a simple meal.”

The shopkeeper entered the kitchen and started preparing the food.

Wei’er also said she was going upstairs to change her clothes.

Cat Cat originally wanted to take Little Wolf Girl with her, but Aina firmly refused to go up, staying in the restaurant.

Chu Tianwen went upstairs too. He said he wanted to see what the bunny-eared big sister was doing.

Traveler, now it’s just you and Aina in the restaurant.

Aina approaches you, Traveler, and says with a cat-like squint, “Brother Luo Xi~ did you just call her mother because you were calling her mother-in-law? Aina knew you had… for Sister Wei’er.”

Luo Xi: “…”

I have to find a way to stop this Wolf Eared Lolita from continuing, but how?

What method should I use?

Traveler, before Aina could finish, you gently pet Aina’s tail, then picked her up and placed her next to you.

Aina looked puzzled by your actions, “Brother Luo Xi?”

Traveler, without a second thought, you blurt out, “Does Aina want to marry brother?”

Note: Hey, is this 110? Come quickly, police officer, there’s someone to arrest!

Luo Xi: “!!!”

I’m truly damned.

Is this really the plan I came up with?

No, is this the plan my subconscious came up with?

Traveler, you feel Little Wolf Girl’s body go rigid.

Ding! Aina’s favorability towards you +5

Ding! Aina’s favorability towards you +3

Note: Well done, pervert Loli-con Traveler!
