Chapter 711: Boom And Voila! I’m A Millionaire!

Ji Shanqing was gone.

Nothing had changed since his departure. The wind continued its mission to traverse across the barren land, and the sand sprang occasionally, shrouding the entire night sky in its salmon-red blanket.

The grand prize did honor his promise that he would keep this planet safe and out of the Veda’s reach. There was no other sound aside from the rustling wind. Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked overhead at the sky that was blue and pristine. It was hard for her to imagine that there was now a group of extraterrestrial species waging a war on a higher plane up there.

Since her grand prize was going up against the Veda by himself, she figured it would not be wise to return to the Data Stream Library right now. In that case, she could not go back to the Salvation of God to search for the cat doctor and Hu Changzai anymore.

After their connection with Puppeteer had been severed, both the cat doctor and Hu Changzai would have been sent to different worlds respectively if they could not find any Consular Officers in time just like her other friends. Their reunions were often aleatoric in contrast to the inevitability of them parting ways.

Perhaps all the planets under the Veda’s influence were not safe, so to save Lin Sanjiu from going round and round in this hellish universe, Ji Shanqing did not issue her a visa to either the Salvation of God or the Olympics in the end, much to her great relief.

Thanks to the grand prize, Lin Sanjiu finally had a taste of how it felt like being wealthy. She could get any visa she wanted regardless of how valuable it was. Since the Veda had archived plenty of consular officers’ data, the grand prize found that he only needed to load the ability into him like how people installed software on their computer, then he could issue a suitable visa to her.

Even though the date for Puppeteer and Soulsqn to be transferred away was scheduled for several months later, she still requested her grand prize for three visas with a similar destination.

“Sis.”

The image of her grand prize’s hair flowing down his shoulders when he tilted his head and shoved the visas into her hand was still vividly clear in her mind.

“Don’t you remember that there’s a [Salvation of God’s Native Product] in your card deck?”

Stunned, Lin Sanjiu shook her head. “What’s that?”

“Didn’t you come across a god known as Gizo when you were in the Salvation of God? You retrieved one Special Item from him when you are examining his body, remember?”

It was only then Lin Sanjiu had an a-ha moment. When she was in the Salvation of God, she did come across a god with the appearance of an old man. At that time, she retrieved the [Bloating] from his body, which upon ingestion after having attained enough Divine Power, would grant her the power to control the sand.

Lin Sanjiu did not possess any Divine Power, and since she did not want to swallow a clump of bloating air into her own body, she had been ignoring it ever since.

“Divine Power and abilities are what all the citizens in the Salvation of God have been vying for in order to ascend to the True God. The Veda modified the data they obtained from the posthuman’s abilities and remodeled them into a variety of small articles that can be taken down at any time. Isn’t that convenient? Besides, the restrictions were created by the Veda, so I can rework it whenever I want,” the grand prize chirped as he smiled at his sister, “Sis, do you want to bring along a few abilities as your back-up?”

Lin Sanjiu’s eyes shone, then she suddenly realized something. How could there be the slightest possibility that the grand prize would know something that even she herself had forgotten and never told anybody about?

Now, it seemed that the grand prize was not going to keep it a secret from her anymore. Nevertheless, on second thought, there was really nothing to be surprised about. Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh as she thought inwardly, ‘I should’ve realized it earlier…’

She hid emotions and asked, “Do you have the ability of a consular officer?”

“Yes, I got that, but it will conflict with other abilities, and once it’s installed, you won’t be able to use any other abilities.” The grand prize sighed dejectedly. “Although I can adjust the prerequisites, I don’t have enough time to do so right now. I need to go soon.”

It was also due to the lack of time that he did not perform a full alteration on Lin Sanjiu. To prevent his sister from being short of supplies, the grand prize prepared a plethora of resources and organized them neatly in front of her. Some of them were his own, while the others had been created by him.

“Sis, you still have another three days before you’ll be transferred to the next world. I have already done the math for you. Since you can store 64 items in your card daily, you’ll have enough time to keep all of these in your card,” Ji Shanqing reminded Lin Sanjiu before leaving.

“You must take care of yourself,” said Lin Sanjiu as her heart clenched in her chest, “If something bad happens and you can’t control it, you must pull back and hide on a planet…”

She did not get to finish her sentence. From the grand prize’s bitter smile, she realized that the fight with the Veda was not something that could be solved in an evasive manner. Ji Shanqing then replied softly, “Don’t worry, Sis. I have a winning rate of about 50% against the Veda. If they are really as rational as they claim, I’m pretty sure they’ll give up soon. Only by stopping the war can they preserved themselves to the maximum extent. While giving up power and concede defeat may be difficult for humans, that is not the case for the Veda. In essence, they are just a set of data that cannot be measured by human emotions.”

“Well then, I wish for your success.” Lin Sanjiu nodded as she watched her grand prize slowly disappear into the wind.

The heap of Special Items and resources sat by her side dutifully. Lin Sanjiu’s legs were stuck inside the sand. She stared at her feet for a moment, then smacked her head as she pulled her feet out from the sand and turned to Soulsqn, yelling, “Queen! You can come out now. He is gone.”

The sand dune looked like a patch of dried blood under the night sky. There was no movement at all.

“Queen!” Lin Sanjiu yelled out again. She did not know where the flesh worm was, so she just took a shot in the dark and walked towards a random direction. Just as she was yelling for the third time, she saw some movement in a hole in front of her. Soon, Soulsqn’s enormous body shot out from the sand dune, spraying sand all over Lin Sanjiu.

“I didn’t hide because I was afraid of him,” the flesh worm said guiltlessly while staring at Lin Sanjiu who was buried under the sand, “I was just trying to pull Lord Puppeteer out.”

Breaking herself free from the sand, Lin Sanjiu coughed as she dusted the sand off her body. She looked at the flesh worm and said vehemently, “Then, where is he now?”

“Erm, before that, can you answer my question first?” The flesh worm would not usually show her tendrils. However, right now, her two tendrils were rubbing against each other in front of her chest, making her look like a fly. “Do you know how can I return to the Salvation of God from here?”

“You can’t go back anymore,” Lin Sanjiu said with a frown, “A war is now happening in the Data Stream Library. It isn’t safe to go through there.”

Stunned, Soulsqn froze stiff on the ground.

“What?!” she shouted back, making Lin Sanjiu jump. “My, my clansmen is in the Salvation of God! No, no, no, I have to get back there. Even if there is a war going on, I have to return to my clansmen!”

“What can you do if you return to your clansmen?” Lin Sanjiu riposted, “Your chances of producing an offspring won’t increase even if you return to your clansman’s side, so why don’t you just forget about them and move on?”

“Move on, your a*s!” Soulsqn retorted, swiping her tail and whipping up a gust of sand, “If it weren’t for you—”

“Hold on first. Where’s Puppeteer?”

Upon hearing that question, all the anger on Soulsqn’s face abated. She went round and round on the sand, sticking out her tendrils and rubbing them again.

“Erm, I was going to tell you about that,” she said as she looked towards the hole behind them. Just as Lin Sanjiu walked two steps forward to see what the flesh worm was doing, Soulsqn’s mumbling slid into her ears, “Lord Puppeteer is gone.”

“Gone?” Lin Sanjiu asked as a bad foreboding rose from her heart, “Or have you just forgotten where he was buried?”

“No! That is impossible,” Soulsqn refuted, “Lord Puppeteer is gone! There’s only a puppet!”
