Book 4: Chapter 59: Starting in the Lungmen Guard Department
Faillen Angel Gabriel: So, what can your Absolute Precognition do? Can it see the result of card draws? Or how about lottery numbers?
He Who Knows Fate: It can, but is that all you actually think about when it comes to the Absolute Precognition?
Faillen Angel Gabriel: What else? Saving the world?
King Wolffy: Can I use it to see how the lambs save their companions? Although mutton is delicious, I still want to eat the lambs from Goat Village.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Just give up. That’s impossible. You can forget about eating mutton from Goat Village in your lifetime. I feel that it’s not a problem with you. This should be the doings of your world’s world consciousness.
King Wolffy: This world consciousness is too repulsive.
Umaru-chan: Speaking of which, Wolffy, why don’t you kill the lambs and turn them into a dish before eating them? Why must you cook them alive?
Wolffy: Shouldn’t lambs be cooked alive?
Solomon: …
God Sai: This world consciousness, or whatever it is, sounds very troublesome. However, I must say, the things in the association’s store are excellent. To think there’s a house made of coffee pudding. This is great.
Umaru-chan: I initially wanted to buy a house made of candy, but I felt too embarrassed to do so.
Blank Never Loses: We have gone off-topic. Do you think having the Absolute Precognition counts as cheating in a game?
Queen of Ice and Snow: It should be like the rules of your game world. As long as no one discovers it, it is not cheating.
Blank Never Loses: I somewhat envy you now. However, I don’t envy the part of being able to see the results in the future but its intelligence-gathering capability.
I Have a Strong Presence: So, can you answer my question? I find I have a weak presence not only in reality but also in this group…
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: …
Iron Fist Teacher: Has your ability already grown strong enough to affect the Dimension Administrators Association?
Lord of the White Night: Erm… Somehow, I find that incredible.
I Have a Strong Presence: But I can’t feel happy about that at all.
He Who Knows Fate: Back to the Absolute Precognition, it is not as powerful as you think. Perhaps in an ordinary world—I’m referring to a world where there are no systems, transmigrators, transcenders, or interdimensional chat groups to disrupt the world’s karma—this ability would be ridiculously strong. However… (complaining continues for a long time)
Efreet: Alright, we got it. It is indeed not very useful for someone who has nothing better to do than travel to other worlds, like you.
He Who Knows Fate: Can I object?
Iron Fist Teacher: How different is the Absolute Precognition from a high-ranked Clairvoyance?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Don’t we have two high-ranked Clairvoyance users here? @Magus of Flowers @Solomon
Solomon: I see it. I see it. I’ve been lurking. The Absolute Precognition is very different from a high-ranked Clairvoyance. The high-ranked Clairvoyance I previously had could see the distant future. As He Who Knows Fate said, if someone from a parallel world transmigrated over, I would notice it beforehand. However, I wouldn’t know what the transmigrator would be like.
Magus of Flowers: Me too! Me too!
Solomon: Trashy Merlin, just leave the group. I wouldn’t want your trashy Clairvoyance even if you gave it to me.
Magus of Flowers: …Merlin’s lecture is beginning. Solomon’s high-ranked Clairvoyance can see the future—all major and minor matters. However, it has its weaknesses. If we were to compare the future to an ordinary book, Clairvoyance would know the outline of this book but not the exact content. The Absolute Precognition truly reads the book from start to end.
Efreet: That barely sufficed.
Queen of Ice and Snow: Simply put, Clairvoyance can see more things than the Absolute Precognition, but it cannot see them in as much detail as the Absolute Precognition. It’s that simple; why all that nonsense? Trashy Merlin! Just leave the group.
Magus of Flowers: You are all oppressing me, and you have never stopped for a moment.
Solomon: In the end, the Absolute Precognition watches the entire situation from a person’s perspective. Although it might just be segments, it would be more detailed.
He Who Knows Fate: Thank you, the two Clairvoyance users, for the expert explanation.
Solomon: I’m glad it is useful.
He Who Knows Fate: I’m going to try a 10x draw in Arknights. Let’s see if I can divine card draws.
------
Ten minutes later:
He Who Knows Fate: This is great! It works! I tried it earlier. Guess how many six-star cards I drew?
Umaru-chan: Three?
Efreet: Four?
He Who Knows Fate: Wrong. Six! After having the Absolute Precognition, I discovered my luck with card draws is quite poor. After trying for ten minutes, I finally saw an opportunity to draw six six-star cards in a 10x draw.
Umaru-chan: How enviable.
He Who Knows Fate: Go on and envy, but you can’t get it.
Umaru-chan: …
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Is this all you are capable of with the Absolute Precognition?
He Who Knows Fate: What should I be getting, then?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Of course, a perfect draw. If you are a man, get ten six-star cards in a 10x draw.
He Who Knows Fate: My Absolute Precognition sees the future, not changes the future. That is too ridiculous.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Tsk…
He Who Knows Fate: I’m done chatting. I’m going to sleep for a while. I’m now filled with anticipation for the trip to Lungmen.
------
Dreams were beautiful, but reality was harsh. The perfect seven-day trip to Lungmen hit a snag on the first afternoon.
Lungmen Guard Department:
[TL Note: Here is more information about the Lungmen Guard Department: /wiki/Lungmen_Guard_Department.]
“Sorry about that, Little Big Brother. I implicated you guys.” Exusiai rubbed her head sheepishly as she apologized. However, she showed no signs of sincerity on her face at all.
Texas sat calmly at the side, eating Pocky.
[TL Note: I’m pretty sure most would know what Pockys are, but in case they are not available in your part of the world, here is its Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocky.]
Chen Heng started thinking about why they ended up in the Lungmen Guard Department.
Everything seemed normal when they entered Lungmen. Only Nightingale was an Infected among the five, but she had legal documents from Rhodes Island clearing her medically. Chen Heng had put away Skadi’s weapon before the customs checks, so the group successfully entered Lungmen; he returned Skadi’s weapon afterwards.
Everything seemed normal until this point; nothing had gone wrong.
After entering Lungmen, Chen Heng saw tall buildings everywhere and no signs of chaos. It lived up to being a bustling city of commerce.
However, when the Penguin Logistics vehicle entered the city, a group of gangsters—likely members of a crime syndicate—attacked the vehicle. Then an intense gunfight took place. This was Chen Heng’s first time experiencing a gunfight in a car.
