Chapter 1047: Chapter 484: The Brain in the Vat!_2

Shen Ye suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing he was still standing in the bathroom stall.

He leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

In just a short moment, his spiritual power had been completely drained.

Small glowing text appeared before his eyes:

“Current spiritual power: 0.”

Too dangerous.

If he continued observing the illusions, even if he wasn’t discovered by the other party, he would exhaust his attributes and die.

Shen Ye closed his eyes briefly and allocated his free attribute points to spiritual power.

Once he felt slightly better, he opened his eyes again.

He looked at his palm.

The lines on his palm had completely disappeared.

“Currently, the power of ‘Fate Divination’ is overdrawn and requires some time to recover.”

Even so, as Shen Ye recalled everything he had seen in the illusions earlier, a sudden wave of clarity surged within him.

He suddenly understood the meaning behind the illusions.

——The other party was using the Eternal Brain to cultivate something!

What exactly it was, he couldn’t tell.

But Shen Ye had a vague sense of it.

The reason today’s missions included so many inevitable death options was likely related to his performance yesterday.

He had been too impressive.

From Xiao Yurong’s reaction when facing the monster, it was clear how strong that monster was.

Yet he had pinned it down, rendering it motionless.

… This can’t go on.

Too conspicuous.

Wait!

Could those monsters be the “cultivated” things?

There’s a possibility.

Shen Ye steadied himself, stepped out of the stall, and turned on the faucet to wash his face.

When he looked completely normal again, he exited the restroom.

The thoughts in his mind grew clearer——

In today’s missions, the majority were combat-related.

There was only one mission about appearing on a variety show.

And his chance of survival was tied to that mission.

… Interesting.

He pushed the door open and quickly returned to the rooftop.

Xiao Yurong was still waiting.

The other Professionals were also standing or sitting nearby.

“Sorry, I just took a look and have selected my mission.” Shen Ye said.

“Which one?” Xiao Yurong asked, intrigued.

“This one.” Shen Ye pointed to one of the missions on the paper.

Everyone crowded around to look.

“Hide your identity, participate in a variety show as a professional martial artist, and vigorously promote the spirit of Martial Arts.”

Silence fell.

Xiao Yurong thought for a moment, then decisively said:

“Alright, we’ll do this mission.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, a Professional stood up and said:

“I’ve got something to do, I’ll head out first.”

“Me too.” said another.

“Major General Xiao, I just received an emergency mission—I must go immediately.”

“Indeed, the sudden emergency mission is frustrating—I’ll make my leave as well.”

The Professionals left the rooftop one after another as they spoke.

Only Xiao Yurong and Shen Ye remained standing there.

“Why did everyone leave?”

Shen Ye asked, puzzled.

Xiao Yurong sighed with a wry smile: “This mission is the lowest-tier one out of all the options… It’s practically worthless in terms of rewards, so naturally, no one wants to do it.”

“Then it can’t be helped. I want to do this one.” Shen Ye said.

Xiao Yurong rubbed her forehead, hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth, pulled out her phone, and began a call:

“Two participants for the mission ‘Appear on a Variety Show.'”

“The team members are Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong. Yes, that’s correct, two Major Generals.”

“You heard right.”

“We confirm that we’re taking this mission.”

“Alright, thank you. Please arrange it immediately.”

The call ended.

The next second.

Lines of glowing text abruptly appeared in front of Shen Ye’s eyes:

“You have now accepted the third mission ‘Seek Sound and Deliver Relief.'”

“You will join your teammate in appearing on a variety show, complete challenges, and remain penniless.”

“Success will result in an advance and a higher-level Eternal infusion.”

“Begin!”

At this moment, Shen Ye’s thoughts shifted again.

He stared at the words “penniless” and suddenly felt something different compared to before.

Could it be…

The emphasis on “penniless” was some sort of hint?

A hint not to draw too much attention?

——Complete the task, don’t stand out.

Shen Ye patted his forehead, feeling like he was getting paranoid, almost losing his mind.

No choice.

After witnessing that brain in a jar, it was impossible not to be unnerved.

Afternoon.

Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong arrived at a remote mountain village far from the city.

This was the filming site of a popular variety show.

Various celebrities were exploring the village.

Photographers and crew members formed layers around them, busily recording everything.

Shen Ye and Xiao Yurong stood on the roof of a small courtyard, observing the scene together.

“Remember, we’re the martial arts inheritors of this village, and the celebrities will come to visit us later.”

Xiao Yurong said.

“What’s our task?” Shen Ye asked.

“Just demonstrate martial arts, surprise them a bit, and spark audience interest in Martial Arts—once the filming is done smoothly, the task is complete.” Xiao Yurong said.

“Sounds easy.” Shen Ye said.

“It’s a relax-and-unwind kind of mission, with minimal rewards.”

“Then why did you come along?”

“You saved me during the last mission. I said I’d team up with you from now on.”

“Haha, I’m sorry if I’m dragging you down.”

“It’s nothing—I’m using this chance to rest anyway.”

The two chatted idly.

Before long.

A crowd began moving toward them.

They leapt off the roof and stood in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, several weapon racks held an array of blades, spears, staffs, and similar weapons.

The director approached and had a brief conversation.

He emphasized that this segment was being streamed live.

——The director seemed to have been instructed, knowing these two had backgrounds not to be trifled with, so he merely outlined the process and withdrew.
