Book 4: Chapter 58:2: The Aggressive Liz, Part 2
Chen Heng quickly released Nightingale.
“Why did you let go? I haven’t nodded yet?” Nightingale cocked her head to the side, playing innocent. However, her actions…
“…” Perhaps it was Chen Heng’s misperception, but he saw a teasing expression in the usually pure Nightingale’s eyes.
Skadi, who was to Chen Heng’s left, did not understand the interaction between the two. Are friends normally this intimate with each other?
“You have to take full responsibility. Hus. Band,” Nightingale whispered into Chen Heng’s right ear.
Chen Heng broke out in a cold sweat. Responsibility? What responsibility? I only went a little overboard with my words. The consequences should not be this severe, right?
If he had not rescued Nightingale in person, he would have thought she was a different person. She is overly aggressive, coming on strong. All I did was…
[Author Note: You don’t really think Chen Heng and Nightingale did not interact with each other during those two and a half hours in the maze, right? I initially wanted to write it in, but I feared you readers would complain about padding the word count, so I didn’t.]
“Erm…I suddenly feel a little sleepy. I’m going to take a nap. Don’t disturb me. I’m bad-tempered when I’m woken up.” Master Chen decided to use sleep to escape this awkward situation.
“Is that so? I would like to see how bad-tempered Chen Heng can be when I wake him up.” Nightingale placed a finger on her lips, appearing pensive.
How very alluring! Ah! Ptooey! It’s very scary.
Nightingale, let me tell you this: don’t push me into a corner. I am capable of anything. By then…
However, Chen Heng only dared to think this; he would never say it aloud. After all, he would be the one suffering in the end.
Because he sold some cultivation techniques in the morning, he had earned points numbering in the five digits—enough to repair his Absolute Precognition.
Chen Heng had been wondering when he could raise enough points to repair it; he had never expected to raise sufficient points by selling cultivation techniques.
When Chen Heng returned to his room earlier, he had used 50,000 points and the half-price discount card Alaya gave him to purchase the service to repair the Absolute Precognition.
There was nothing much to explain about the process, as Chen Heng did not feel any different. If pressed to state something, perhaps his eyes felt a little sore, but they quickly recovered.
The Absolute Precognition did not lead to any grand scenes.
After Chen Heng repaired the Absolute Precognition, he tested its effects and found this thing somewhat disappointing; it was not as strong as he expected.
However, that did not refer to the Absolute Precognition ability itself, just its effect for Chen Heng.
For an ordinary person, the Absolute Precognition was a bug-like ability. After all, it could divine the future, practically giving them a guide to their life.
However, the user of the ability was Chen Heng. Who was Chen Heng? He was a Dimension Administrators Association member. The Dimension Administrators Association was an existence that transcended the world. Furthermore, he normally interacted with existences that did not affect karma. Be it the system, the chat group, or the association, all these transcended the world.
This resulted in a problem. The Absolute Precognition was extremely limited on things that transcended the world. He could use the Absolute Precognition to see what would happen if he joined the Dimension Administrators Association, purely because the Dimension Administrators Association let him see it.
When Chen Heng discovered Luo Li and Mo Qingtong had re:lived, he realized the Absolute Precognition probably did not work on things like systems or the interdimensional chat groups.
The current situation was that the Absolute Precognition could clearly show the future if it was not affected by factors that transcended the world. However, when system users, chat group members, or the like were involved, the observed future seemed to have a veil covering it.
If this were a high-ranked Clairvoyance, this situation would not be too strange. However, the Absolute Precognition’s scale was not as high as a high-ranked Clairvoyance.
For example, if a transmigrator entered the Type-Moon world, and this world had both Solomon and Mother of Mifune.
[TL Note: Mother of Mifune (real name unknown) is a street fortuneteller in The Garden of Sinners, who possesses the ability to avoid tragedies through precise advice. While she cannot see the future, her advice is supposedly 100 accurate. Thus, her ability is described as an imitation of Precognition. Here is more information about her: /wiki/Mother_of_Mifune.]
Solomon would see that a person who transcended the world would come in the future. Perhaps he might see some information pertaining to that transmigrator. However, Mother of Mifune might only sense a change in the future when the transmigrator entered the world.
Chen Heng could overlook this. After all, he had obtained this ability for free.
However, this did not mean the Absolute Precognition was completely useless to him since the ability awakening also affected the Absolute Precognition, so…
Chen Heng anticipated his Absolute Precognition becoming something like Clairvoyance after two ability awakenings; it would be even better if he got an EX-ranked Clairvoyance.
Yeah, right. Only in my dreams.
Now, Chen Heng wondered if he should impersonate a psychic—ah! No. It should be prophet. He felt this would be a lot of fun.
He Who Knows Fate: I’ve repaired my Absolute Precognition. Kal’tsit, can you change my codename to Prophet?
Kal’tsit: ??
Kal’tsit: What are you trying to do? Don’t mess around.
He Who Knows Fate: What are you thinking? Do I look like someone who messes around?
Kal’tsit: You don’t look like one…
He Who Knows Fate: That’s the way.
Kal’tsit: You are one.
He Who Knows Fate: …
Kal’tsit: Just look. You have been at Rhodes Island for only three or four days, and what have you done? Every day, Doctor keeps crying about promoting you to Elite 1. She refuses to get up when I don’t agree. You broke the laboratory’s wall when you tested your ability. When you stored your blood in the blood bank, you shaped Warfarin, a senior medical staff of Rhodes Island, to your liking. After that, you coaxed Nightingale into calling you Husband while treating her. Now, you took Skadi away. To think you could even do that! Now, you want to play prophet? Are you thinking of playing God?
He Who Knows Fate: …
Efreet: A mass complaint.
Magus of Flowers: Kal’tsit, you poor thing.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright. I won’t change my codename.
Kal’tsit: This is not a problem of codenames. I have no problem, even if you change your codename ten times. The main thing is to avoid using your Absolute Precognition to cause problems. You can change your codename; just don’t cause problems.
Magus of Flowers: Prepare for fire, thieves, and Chen Heng. Well done.
He Who Knows Fate: Merlin, you are getting carried away. Are you thinking that I—the administrator—will not take action?
Magus of Flowers: I was merely speaking the truth.
I Have a Strong Presence: Am I the only one interested in the Absolute Precognition ability?
Iron Fist Teacher: No. I’m interested too.
