Chapter 229: Chapter 228 Extraordinary

With the current strength of Zhang Yanhang, he could only possibly be defeated by monsters of the Third Tier or above; monsters with that kind of power likely wouldn’t even trigger the options in a Multiple Choice scenario.

However, although he couldn’t do it yet, Zhang Yanhang felt that as he progressed through future ranks, the Multiple Choice would correspondingly become stronger and that one day in the future, it would definitely help him kill monsters stronger than himself.

By then, Multiple Choice wouldn’t just help Zhang Yanhang kill monsters, but it would also likely have the ability to manipulate others’ destinies at will. Only at that stage could Multiple Choice truly be called a Destiny System Talent; for now, Zhang Yanhang could only interfere with others’ destinies to a limited extent.

"With my current Energy Value limit not even reaching four digits, it is indeed a bit hard to make choices for others."

After briefly experimenting with the capabilities of Multiple Choice, Zhang Yanhang lay back on his bed in the dormitory, feeling that he indeed should look for ways and channels to increase his Energy Value limit.

If he could increase the Energy Value limit, it would effectively improve the strength limit of the autonomous options, allowing Zhang Yanhang to achieve "Big Transformation" sooner. Of course, Big Transformation was just a secondary goal; his primary goal was to enhance his own strength.

"So, what should I do next?"

After completing the choices, Zhang Yanhang idly scrolled through his phone, feeling that the only thing he could do right now was chat with the group leader. Thus, he immediately sent a message to the group leader.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Are you there?"

After sending the message, Zhang Yanhang quietly waited. Unlike last time, however, the group leader did not reply immediately.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang silently waited for five minutes, but still, there was no reply from the group leader. After some thought, he figured that the group leader might have been too busy to see his message, so he sent a window nudge.

After sending the nudge, Zhang Yanhang quietly waited another five minutes, but still received no response from the group leader.

"Could it be that the group leader is actually very busy right now? That can’t be right. Hasn’t she already graduated from college and become an idler with no job?

And because Awakeners have a basic income, she shouldn’t be short of money. Therefore, logically speaking, other than going to the Ashen World to hunt monsters, the group leader has no other work that would waste her time."

With that in mind, Zhang Yanhang suddenly realized that the group leader might have gone to the Ashen World; only in such cases would the jobless idler not reply to his messages.

Although it was possible that the group leader was hunting monsters in the Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang still couldn’t let go; he wanted to verify the group leader’s whereabouts, "Maybe the Awakener guys in the group would know what the group leader is actually doing."

After a moment of thought, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened the Ashen World group chat and asked about the group leader, only to unexpectedly find out that the group leader was active in the chat ten minutes ago and then suddenly disappeared.

"Could it be that she saw my message and deliberately didn’t want to reply? No way, right? It can’t be that she’s still holding a grudge over that last incident when we are both in our twenties?"

Zhang Yanhang felt this possibility seemed far-fetched, but maybe it was unexpectedly accurate.

After a bit more thought, Zhang Yanhang sent another new message to the group leader.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I really can’t offer any special services!"

As the saying goes, "Wealth cannot corrupt, poverty cannot sway, and might cannot bend," although the group leader is not only powerful and quite wealthy but also especially beautiful—essentially meeting all of Zhang Yanhang’s criteria for a partner—he had his own boundaries; special services were really not an option.

After sending the message, Zhang Yanhang planned to continue waiting for another five minutes as he did previously, but unexpectedly, he immediately heard a notification for a new message.

When Gu Mingyue saw the words "special services," she immediately recalled the incident before, and couldn’t help but blush; God knows why she went to touch that place last time, and even became somewhat addicted to it.

Therefore, in such circumstances, after reading the message sent by Zhang Yanhang, Gu Mingyue felt extremely conflicted and really did not know how to reply, so she simply typed a series of ellipses.

Curse Binding Vajra: "..."

Seeing that the group leader had indeed replied to the message, Zhang Yanhang realized something; she had always been there, just did not want to deal with him for a moment.

Regarding the matter of the special services, as a victim, Zhang Yanhang decided to generously forgive her, mainly because there was no way not to forgive; although he had reached the Second Tier, he still could not defeat the group leader, who was at least at the Fourth Tier.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Group leader, are there any precautions I should take after reaching the Second Tier?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "You reached the Second Tier? That quickly? It’s only been a few days?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "Didn’t you just ask me about the Main Attribute a few days ago?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "It’s been three days; any slower would be too slow, plus, if the cycle for opening the Transmission Channel wasn’t so lengthy, I would have advanced to the Second Tier even sooner."

Gu Mingyue pondered Zhang Yanhang’s response and couldn’t help but think of her cousin. Although she had help from her, she still needed some time to promote to the Second Tier.

Curse Binding Vajra: "Since you’ve reached the Second Tier, you are now in the Extraordinary Stage."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Extraordinary? Wasn’t First Tier already considered Transcendent?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "What you’re talking about is the general sense of Transcendent; what I’m referring to is the ’Extraordinary’ stage in the Empire’s traditional teachings. Before the Spiritual Qi Recovery, traditional cultivators usually referred to the Second Tier as ’Extraordinary’.

After entering this stage, an army made up of ordinary people can no longer easily threaten Awakeners, unless they deploy units at least at the battalion level; otherwise, just sending an ordinary company—even with modern thermal weapons and heavy firepower units—is also most likely unable to surround and kill a Second Tier Awakened.

In a sense, every Second Tier Awakened could easily take on a hundred opponents."
