Chapter 398: Chapter 397: Soul Measuring Device

At first, Zhang Yanhang’s main goal was to collect the Second Tier part of the Limitless Universe Skill, but now it seemed unlikely he’d achieve that, because although his reason for cultivating his Family Inheritance Technique might fool Zhou Muxi, it wouldn’t get past the bureaucratic staff.

The reason was that the bureaucratic staff also had a Lie Detection Artifact and a Soul Measuring Device that could sense the Cultivation Method and its corresponding progress.

If Zhang Yanhang were to brazenly go and collect the Second Tier Technique of the Limitless Universe Skill, and the staff discovered after checking that he had already reached the Second Tier, but there was no record of having collected the corresponding technique in the system, that would surely lead to some trouble.

So, for that reason, Zhang Yanhang decided to slip away, which, of course, didn’t mean he was going to give up on verifying whether his Cultivation Method was different from the official version.

Zhang Yanhang was, after all, an Awakener with the Multiple Choice Talent. Although he couldn’t verify it through normal channels, he could totally do so using Multiple Choice. After all, such a small matter surely wouldn’t cost too much Energy Value.

The main reason he was here was that updating his welfare benefits was indeed not something that could be replaced by Multiple Choice; he had to come to the service hall to enter the data into the system.

Well, actually, he didn’t necessarily have to come to the service hall. After all, if he used Multiple Choice to forcibly change the information inside the system, he could probably update the benefits that way, too. It would just be more troublesome. Zhang Yanhang planned to try this after he had fully restored his Energy Value.

Thinking this way, Zhang Yanhang suddenly realized that he could replace everything that could be done in the service hall with Multiple Choice. Realizing this, he didn’t want to waste any more time queuing. Besides, even if he got to the front of the line, he couldn’t get past the Soul Measuring step.

But before leaving, Zhang Yanhang planned to add Zhou Muxi as a QQ friend first, so it would be easier to contact each other in the future if anything came up.

While he was hesitant to interrupt her absorption of Yang Qi, not leaving a way to contact each other would make future meetings difficult. So, after a slight hesitation, Zhang Yanhang poked Zhou Muxi’s face with his hand.

"What’s up?"

Zhou Muxi opened her eyes somewhat helplessly. She had a strong sense of déjà vu about the situation before her, but luckily she didn’t have to smell any weird smells this time.

"There is something. Someone just messaged me to deal with an urgent matter, so let’s add each other quickly, and then I need to leave."

Zhang Yanhang raised his phone that he had prepared earlier and waved it towards Zhou Muxi.

"Alright, let’s just scan for a quick QR code friend add then. If you have anything in the future, contact me often..."

Zhou Muxi, still in the process of absorbing Yang Qi, wasn’t hindered from taking out her phone to scan the QR code and add a new friend.

Zhang Yanhang quickly scanned the QR code with his phone and sent a friend request. After watching Zhou Muxi accept the friend request, he pulled a small piece of paper out of his pocket, "I won’t be needing this number anymore; do you want it?"

"The number?"

Zhou Muxi glanced at the small piece of paper in Zhang Yanhang’s hands and realized it was just one number smaller than the one she was queuing for, so she waved it off, "You might as well keep it for yourself."

"Okay then, goodbye."

Having added the friend, Zhang Yanhang no longer had any longing for the bureaucratic service hall and darted straight out the door, ready to head back to university.

Although he could have gone home, considering there was nothing to do there, he decided to return to the university instead. After all, there were no classes in the morning, but the afternoon was filled with four classes.

"Sigh, I came here to get things done at the bureau, and didn’t accomplish a single task. The upside is that I got a Dark Purple Quality Item and a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can increase my Stamina limit from Zhou Muxi. And although nothing was done, I learned something even more important."

The even more important thing Zhang Yanhang was referring to was the fact that ordinary Awakeners must cultivate themselves to break through their Rank, which made him even more confident about catching up with the big shots who were Awakeners from the Early Stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery.

After all, they had bottlenecks, but he didn’t. With just this point alone, Zhang Yanhang was confident enough to bridge the gap between them.

......

October 20th, the twelfth day after the end of the Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang returned to the Main World. At ten-fifty in the morning, Qin Island City, university dormitory building, room 604.

Having run back to university from the bureau in just a minute or two, Zhang Yanhang was now lying in his dormitory bed again, "What should I do next?"

Zhang Yanhang thought carefully and felt he should ask the group owner about breaking through Ranks.

"Although I usually contact the group owner at twelve noon, it shouldn’t be a big deal to start an hour earlier today. It’s not like the group owner won’t be there just because I’m early, right? A Fourth Tier Awakened who doesn’t need to sleep, she must have plenty of free time every day."

With that thought in mind, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened his phone and sent a message to the group owner.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "You there?"

After sending the message, Zhang Yanhang began to concentrate on circulating the Limitless Universe Skill to restore his Energy Value. After quite a while, however, he hadn’t received a reply from the group owner, "Could it be that the group owner is pretending to be offline again?"

Zhang Yanhang, feeling that this scenario was quite likely, sent another message to the group owner.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "You there?"

After sending the message, Zhang Yanhang continued to circulate the Limitless Universe Skill to restore his Energy Value. Time flew by, and an hour passed without a response from the group owner.

"This doesn’t make sense. It’s twelve noon now, and the group owner still hasn’t replied? Could it really be that she’s not around?"

Zhang Yanhang checked the group owner’s most recent message time in the Awakener group chat and discovered it was from yesterday. It seemed the group owner might have gone to the Ashen World, which was why she couldn’t reply to his messages.

"Since she’s really not in the Main World, I’ll just wait until she comes back from the Ashen World next time to ask her."

Zhang Yanhang wasn’t particularly eager to inquire about other Awakeners’ methods of Promotion, so waiting a bit longer was no issue.
