Chapter 129: Longing is the Farthest Distance from Understanding

~13 min read 2,541 words

"Infinite Star: Residential Area."

The architectural complex built on the trunk of the "Infinite World Tree" is full of natural beauty.

Standing on the edge of the residential area, one can see the sea of clouds floating and sinking below.

Looking up, the aurora scene of the illusory sky is even more magnificent and indescribable.

Arriving at a table with a great view, Meng Yi and Firefly sit opposite each other.

"Time Sun: Li" and "Space Water: Shuang" bring the delicacies they have prepared.

Whether it is color, fragrance, taste, or nutritional value, they have all exceeded the limits of mortals.

Firefly swallows a mouthful of saliva very unpromisingly.

In order to bring back spoils for Meng Yi, she spent all 2D+1F+11000 Paradise coins she gained from the dungeon.

With an empty wallet, Firefly doesn't even have money to heal the damage to her body.

Not to mention the personal hobby of going to the "Comprehensive Leisure Area" to satisfy her appetite.

"Eat. Food made from World Tree fruits should taste okay."

Meng Yi picks up a pastry decorated with many glowing blue berries and places it gently on Firefly's plate.

"Tell me what you experienced in the last dungeon."

"No rush, just talk while you eat."

As long as a senior Paradise beast removes the pollution, even the scraps falling from between their fingers are enough for low-tier players to benefit endlessly.

At this moment, Firefly's attention is entirely drawn to the pyramid-shaped pastry on the plate.

"Thank you, Officer!"

Firefly is not polite, talking while eating.

Curses, sorcerers, non-sorcerers, curse users, cursed spirits, cursed objects...

Entering the dungeon, she joined a high school with a bleak future...

The once-in-a-millennium genius: Itadori Yu Ji, the slacker teacher: Gojo Satoru, the pure love war god: Okkotsu Yuta...

Experienced a series of dog-shit things.

Shinjuku Decisive Battle, Gojo Satoru vs. Ryomen Sukuna.

After being cut in half, 2.5 Gojo said: "Sorry, Lord Sukuna, I didn't satisfy you, I'm really sorry."

Firefly, who arrived at the scene afterward, confronted Sukuna, hammering Sukuna until he opened his mouth and closed his eyes, enjoying the humiliation.

Sukuna was cut in half by Firefly and also had a brain cramp, saying: "Sorry, Lord Firefly, I didn't satisfy you, I'm really sorry."

Firefly's little face flushed red, vividly replicating Sukuna's idiot speech.

When talking about the end of the dungeon, Firefly took out a high school graduation diploma from her storage space and showed it to Meng Yi to show off.

"Officer, I've been to school, and from now on I'm a high school graduate!"

"……"

Meng Yi is silent, unable to refute the facts Firefly put forward.

Even though he was a triple-doctorate holder at a certain research institute in his previous life, he had two PhDs and a dozen master's students under him.

To be blunt, a high school student... doesn't even have the qualifications to serve him tea and water, and dreaming of being an assistant is pure fantasy.

"Congratulations, the sorcery system is quite good."

"So, you killed Ryomen Sukuna in the last dungeon, obtained a D-grade rating: 1, plus the dungeon's final rating of 1D, and certified half a Gojo Satoru and half a Ryomen Sukuna?"

Firefly nods slightly, flipping out the certified spoils from her storage space.

The upper half of 2.5 Gojo Satoru who died completely, and the upper half of Ryomen Sukuna who still maintained some cell activity...

It's outrageous; half is really half?!

2.5 Gojo Satoru and 1 Sukuna, added together, can't even piece together a leg.

"They said Gojo Satoru's eyes are the 'Six Eyes: Azure Sky Pupil,' so I stole the upper half with the eyes."

"This guy Ryomen Sukuna is known as the King of Curses, and that 'Domain: Malevolent Shrine' name sounds weird, with an effective radius of only 200 meters. For caution's sake, I stayed two kilometers away and used an energy-plastic burning fire gun to blow Sukuna into two pieces."

Firefly recounted the battle process.

Ryomen Sukuna's domain slash targets creatures and non-creatures containing cursed energy.

Meeting Firefly, this living Living Living Yama who is clearly super strong but doesn't talk about martial arts, he really didn't lose unjustly.

"Officer, are these things helpful to you?"

Firefly originally thought that 2.5 Gojo Satoru + 1 Sukuna should be of some help to Tier 5 Meng Yi, just like the Progenitor Weird Worm in the Giant world.

Who would have thought that Meng Yi suddenly promoted to Tier 7 authority and scared a Star God (fragment) into fleeing in panic.

Firefly believes that the terrifying aura of "Stage 1: Meng Yi," who just looked like the incarnation of the world, has far exceeded the "Star God Envoy" of her hometown.

The fluctuations emitted by that terrifying black and white ancient sword are far stronger than her life-burning star-shattering strike.

Whether 2.5 Gojo Satoru + 1 Sukuna is still useful, Firefly is uneasy.

It's not that she values the 2D rating + 1F + 11000 Paradise coins, but that she doesn't want to lose this only opportunity to contact Meng Yi.

Firefly's emotions are too easy to understand, and Meng Yi laughs dumbly: "Useful, thank you."

"Don't think I'm fooling you; this is the truth."

"I won't look down on any extraordinary system; systems that can be stably passed down have certain merits."

"The sorcery system, where power comes from human negative emotions, has great research value, and the derived cursed energy, cursed spirits, cursed objects, cursed tools, sorcery... can continue to be developed."

Meng Yi hesitates for a moment, opens the "Eye of the Infinite World," and looks at Firefly's physical condition at a glance.

"The sorcery system can also be called 'emotion,' which has a high degree of compatibility with your 'Glamoth Interstellar Modification' + 'Giant: Weird Worm.' Deep mining can fill the weakening caused by losing the 'Path'."

Firefly's luck is quite good.

Or rather, the dungeons prepared by the "Evolution Paradise" for players are all quite good.

Dungeons other than the "Promotion Assessment" are absolutely compatible with the player's current situation, fully giving players the opportunity to grow.

"As long as it's useful!"

Firefly lets out a long sigh of relief, and the hanging heart finally falls.

The girl gives her belongings to Meng Yi without hesitation. She only has so much; this is all she can take out.

Meng Yi waves his hand, and 2.5 Gojo Satoru + 1 Sukuna are teleported to the experimental area.

"You came a bit early; I haven't gone to cut... ahem, send warmth yet."

According to the "equivalent exchange" principle followed, "Travel Frog: Firefly" brought back spoils, and Meng Yi should give a return.

In addition to 111 potions, he now has 2S+1A+250,000 Paradise coins.

Giving Firefly S and A ratings is unnecessary; Jujutsu Kaisen is not worth this price.

"You used two D+1F+11,000 Paradise coins, so I'll give you 6 D+30,000 Paradise coins, plus a potion."

Meng Yi thinks for a moment, disassembles an A-grade source crystal into 2b+1c+6d, materializes and extracts six D-grade source crystals, constructs a card with 30,000 Paradise coins, and takes out a mass-produced "Space: Type II" from his storage space for Firefly.

Firefly exclaims in a low voice: "C+ grade potion?!"

【Name: Space: Type II

Creator: Bai Mo

Rating: C+ grade space-type ability potion

Effect: 1. Advanced colored contact lenses; 2. Insight, illusion, replication; 3. C-grade mental strength (Super Kage level, Tier 4); 4. Custom space ability: 2; 5. Mental power + energy materialization application (Complete Body: Susanoo)】

Meng Yi explains in a flat tone: "Space: Type I is not perfect enough; that is something specifically for 'taking care of (ambushing)' Tier 3 players."

"Space: Type III is a bit over the limit for you, and it's easy to overwrite the prototype of the path you are currently taking; Space: Type II is just right."

"Six D-grade source crystals + 30,000 Paradise coins are enough for you to consume and use in the 'Omnipotent Area: Omnipotent Domain' to integrate 'Space: Type II' and 'Sorcery System' into your path prototype."

Entropy-loss disease life-burning leverage + Weird Worm life-continuation + Sorcery idealistic leverage + Space ability to increase agility + Complete Body Susanoo head-on confrontation + Insight, illusion, replication diversity.

Integrating all these, Firefly doesn't need the blessing of the "Path" and can also call herself invincible below Tier 5 and untouchable above Tier 5.

"Officer, I..."

The surprise came too suddenly, and the generous gift package caught Firefly off guard.

"Why, do you think it's a lot?"

Meng Yi's tone is hard to figure out: "Do you think the return far exceeds the input? So you want to refuse again?"

Without waiting for Firefly to answer, Meng Yi says to himself: "Do you know how much this C+ enhancement potion costs? Less than one-twentieth."

"In other words, I can use 1~2 E-grade source crystals to earn at least 3 C-grade source crystals."

"!!!!"

Firefly is stunned; she is a "high school graduate" after all!

A little calculation makes her understand the terror of the benefits; it's pure money-making with knowledge!

"No wonder—"

Firefly glances at Meng Yi thief-like and swallows the words behind.

The "Evolution Paradise" never wrongs a good person; the beasts on the "Beast Ranking" deserve their crimes.

Meng Yi guesses what Firefly is thinking, but he doesn't care.

Letting Firefly know this in advance concerns his great cause of cutting leeks.

Meng Yi raises his hand to push the six D-grade source crystals + 1 Paradise coin card in front of Firefly, his finger pressing on the last injection potion without letting go, his smile warm: "Firefly, can you do me a 'small' favor during the Paradise stay period after the next dungeon ends?"

Firefly is now at the early Tier 4 level, and after she finishes eating the resources Meng Yi feeds, her strength soaring to the Tier 4 top-tier ~ Tier 4 breaking-the-limit won't be a problem.

This means that Firefly has a high probability of getting a C-grade (Tier 4) final rating in the next dungeon, and her player level will be promoted from lv6 to lv9.

"Of course! It's my honor to be able to help you, Officer!"

Firefly pats her chest, and an indescribable sense of mission and responsibility hits her heart.

Reciprocity is the way to get along.

She always takes Meng Yi's benefits and has long wanted to do something for Meng Yi.

Meng Yi nods with a smile, "Very good."

"How about this, when your next dungeon starts, I'll give you the potion, and you go sell it in Tier 1~4."

"Of course, in this way, your 'credit value' might inevitably decrease."

"As compensation, how about we split the net profit 9-1 after deducting the cost?"

Firefly's improvement speed is definitely not as fast as his.

Meng Yi can't go to the low-tier area, so he can completely let Firefly help him flip it; this is the Agent Plan for Cutting Leeks!

Besides, even if Firefly's "credit value" drops to the limit of the current tier, she can still sell mass-produced goods for cutting leeks in the same tier, and no matter how much the "credit value" drops, it won't drop any further.

To execute the "Agent Plan for Cutting Leeks," mutual trust is crucial.

Is there trust in Paradise? Too little, too little.

Not to mention others, just take Meng Yi himself.

If a Tier 8 player asked him to help cut leeks, he would definitely open his mouth like a lion, blackmail high-level knowledge, and finally roll up the money and run away, not leaving a single Paradise coin to the Tier 8 player who was daydreaming.

Obedient good children like Firefly are rare!

……

Meng Yi didn't fool the honest person, explaining the pros and cons clearly, patiently waiting for Firefly's choice.

One Dark Dark Side is the "credit value" with unclear meaning, and the other Dark Dark Side is her benefactor and officer.

Before long, Firefly decides to help with this "small favor," not hesitating even if her "credit value" is deducted to a negative number.

"I agree, but I don't agree with the officer giving the money to me."

"Officer, you should keep the money for yourself, not give it to me."

"Source crystals and Paradise coins are more useful to you, right?"

Firefly tries to persuade Meng Yi not to waste resources.

Meng Yi smiles, props his hands on the table, leans forward, and blocks Firefly's chattering mouth with one finger.

"Alright, what I said I'd give you is yours."

"If you don't hurry up and become stronger, what should you do if one day you can't even provide this little value to me?"

As soon as these words came out, Firefly's flushed cheeks lost their blood color.

She fears the "future" Meng Yi predicted; she doesn't want that "future" to appear.

Meng Yi retracts his finger, looking down at the girl trembling with fear.

For a long, long time, Firefly says seriously: "I know, I will listen to the officer."

"That's a good child."

Senior PUA master Meng Yi rubs Firefly's head, giving her some positive emotional feedback.

Tools that lose value will be iterated by him, and tools that maintain value can be used for a long time.

"It's getting late. After going back, use the 'Tier 3: Omnipotent Domain' to digest what I gave you."

"What that Void Dragon guy reminded you is very right; other people's things are always other people's, and walking your own path is your own."

Meng Yi stands up, looks at the remaining pastries, and instructs "Time Sun: Li," who is serving nearby, to pack them for Firefly.

Pastries made with trace amounts of World Tree fruit can improve physical strength and energy strength if used for a long time (only limited to before Tier 5).

Firefly, who was forcibly stuffed with a large bag and a small carry, was just about to return to the Tier 3 area when her departing steps suddenly stopped, and she said in astonishment: "Officer, Mr. Luo Ji asked me to pass 1E source crystal + 2000 Paradise coins to you."

"Mr. Luo Ji said, thank you for the potion you gave him, and he will definitely pay back the money he owes you later."

"But he also said that the remaining money must be split into eight installments, with 1E+2000 Paradise Coins per installment."

Pass on?!

Luo Ji doesn't send a message to Meng Yi, but instead asks Firefly to help pass on the "debt"?!

What does that mean?

Because he refused Meng Yi's idea of going to his hometown, he is too guilty to meet, and he doesn't even send a message?!

"Being able to give E-grade source crystals, it seems the potion I gave him last time was quite useful."

Luo Ji's affectation clearly cannot disturb Meng Yi's state of mind.

On the contrary, Firefly is indignant and cannot understand Luo Ji's brain circuit.

"How can Mr. Luo Ji be like this?"

Meng Yi waves his hand, signaling Firefly to be calm.

"It doesn't matter; consider it my misjudgment."

"Since he gave you the 'repayment,' then it's yours."

Comparing goods, goods must be thrown away; comparing people, people must die! ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
