Chapter 242: Chapter 241: High-level Spiritual Device

Zhang Yanhang immediately took out his phone and called his counselor as soon as he thought of this, saying he wanted to take a leave for 2+1 days. The reason he requested 2+1 days was because today was Wednesday, and the next five days included Saturday and Sunday, which were naturally days off.

Well, the main reason was also that with the counselor’s authority, he could only take up to three days off. To request a longer leave, he would need to report to the leadership of the Computer Science department.

Although as an Awakener, Zhang Yanhang’s request would certainly be approved if he reported it, what if it wasn’t approved? Moreover, he would have to wait until tomorrow to report because the teachers were already off work, and Zhang Yanhang couldn’t wait that long. Requesting just 2+1 days needed only the counselor’s approval.

So, after a brief conversation with his counselor, Zhang Yanhang successfully took three days off, citing the reason that his rank had recently advanced, causing some instability in his abilities and he needed a few days of seclusion to increase his proficiency.

"Since I’ve successfully taken the leave, the only thing left to do is to fully restore my Energy Value," Zhang Yanhang said, immediately starting to operate the Limitless Universe Skill to recover his Energy Value.

Soon, it took only about fifteen minutes for Zhang Yanhang to fully restore his Energy Value.

Originally, Zhang Yanhang had estimated it would take at least half an hour to fully restore his Energy Value, but due to a Transmission Channel nearby spouting out Spiritual Energy, the density of Spiritual Energy in the room greatly increased, which also enhanced Zhang Yanhang’s recovery speed.

By the way, while operating the Limitless Universe Skill, Zhang Yanhang heard a loud explosion from the west side of East River District and used Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to scan it quickly, finding that it was an explosion caused by a battle between several Awakeners.

Zhang Yanhang figured this must be the battle over treasures mentioned before in the options, as the gate of the district indeed was marked with Wanhe District.

Based on Zhang Yanhang’s observations, all the Awakeners engaged in the battle were Second Tier Awakened, which fit his standard for watching the excitement, but Zhang Yanhang had not discovered what they were fighting over yet.

Apart from that, Zhang Yanhang also noticed that government personnel had already arrived near Wanhe District, apparently already aware of the potential for battle here.

"Don’t even know what they are fighting over, and with a bunch of government personnel surrounding it, what mindset was I in the second option to get involved in such an unwise commotion," Zhang Yanhang felt really baffled.

"Forget it, I don’t want to think about other things now. Since my Energy Value has been fully restored, let’s head to Ashen World to hunt monsters. Choose! Head to Ashen World!"

As Zhang Yanhang made his choice actively, time fell into a standstill again, and a large row of text options appeared in front of him again.

[Enter Ashen World?]

[Option One: Yes (You, fully prepared, choose to immediately enter Ashen World through the Transmission Channel in front of you, but this time you already know that some unforeseen events might have occurred inside the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu on the other side of the Transmission Channel.

Despite the unforeseen events in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, you still decide to execute the Ant Nest cleaning plan you had previously set, but this slightly outdated cleaning plan may need some adjustments to align better with the current situation.)]

[Option Two: No (Although the Transmission Channel is right before your eyes, you suddenly lose interest in it. However, this time, it’s not because you knew about the unforeseen events inside the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu but rather because of some events that you find interesting happening at Wanhe District located to the west of East River District.

Before entering Ashen World, you subconsciously scan the surroundings using Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to prevent anyone from spying, but in this Perception, you happen to discover the treasure being fought over by the Awakeners in Wanhe District—an Advanced-level Spiritual Device that you can take into Ashen World, making you somewhat tempted, so you went to ’join the excitement.’)]

[Option Three: Make slight preparations (With six hours and fifteen minutes left until the Transmission Channel closes, realizing there’s still plenty of time, you think maybe you can make some small preparations. Although it’s termed as slight preparations, you suddenly remember about the events at Wanhe District.

You think maybe getting your hands on that Advanced-level Spiritual Device over there is also a form of preparation. Hence, you indeed seize that Advanced-level Spiritual Device that can be brought into Ashen World by leveraging your strength. After accomplishing this, you immediately enter Ashen World through the Transmission Channel and start hunting monsters in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest.)]

"This is my first time actively choosing to head to Ashen World, and it feels quite similar to being passively triggered.

But although the first option is fairly normal, what’s going on with the second and third options? Why are they both enticing me to pursue that mysterious Advanced-level Spiritual Device in Wanhe District..."

Zhang Yanhang paused here and immediately used Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to re-scan the situation at Wanhe District, discovering that the highly coveted Advanced-level Spiritual Device was actually a weapon.

"Couldn’t be that Multiple Choice thinks I can use that weapon over there to upgrade the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist? But to upgrade Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist to light gold, using the Refined Crimson Iron stored in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest to craft a dark purple weapon is totally feasible, so I guess I’ll skip this commotion."

Mainly because Zhang Yanhang felt that both the second and third options were not very reliable, particularly the third option, which superficially called ’Make slight preparations’ should actually be called ’Courting Death.’

Robbing the Advanced-level Spiritual Device in front of the government personnel and then directly escaping to Ashen World is an outright act of recklessness.

The thing is, even though the present Zhang Yanhang could escape through the Transmission Channel, the Transmission Channel itself couldn’t be escaped.

When he returned, he still needed to use the exit located in East River District; after all, it’s impossible for him to stay in Ashen World forever. Once he returns, he would certainly be caught by the government personnel who had been waiting for a long time.

"So, I choose Option One and head directly to Ashen World." After quickly making his decision, Zhang Yanhang’s vision suddenly went dark and then red, reappearing in the long-missed Crimson Iron Ant Nest.
