Chapter 740: It's Just That Simple...

~6 min read 1,172 words

After the awkwardness, Lan Qingyou continued to press the questions she had prepared long ago.

Are you kidding? Right now is still the time for the Q&A game.

But after a couple mouthfuls of wine, you're directly staging a confession game?

Not allowed! Absolutely not allowed!

"Otherwise, did you think it was really playing an otherworldly game?"

"How could the human body be digitized so simply?"

"Mana value? Health value? And all those various stat points... Even the values displayed on instruments in hospitals are at most just for reference."

"How could this even more complex magic world achieve such a degree?"

"If it weren't to give Blue Star people time to adapt, and to align with their granularity, thus choosing to present it in a level format that everyone knows, who would go to the trouble of doing that kind of thing."

This is why they say drunks speak completely without considering the consequences.

At a time when it was clear that many people in the circle had vowed to kill the guy working for the Will of the World, Esmeralda was still able to say these words.

What stood out was just her toughness!

Originally, everyone did indeed want to kill the organization colluding with the Will of the World.

But they discovered that the person taking the lead was actually a guy in their group, and an original member of the manor at that.

This made everyone feel somewhat conflicted about wanting to make a move.

It wasn't that they couldn't bring themselves to do it, but the sudden change in identity of someone they originally knew inside and out gave them more reservations.

Just imagine.

How would you feel if the person you spent day and night with suddenly said they were the mastermind you had been searching for for a long time?

You would definitely suspect that the other party admitting it so generously must definitely have some sort of backup plan.

So...

Even though everyone knew Esmeralda's magic and attack methods very well, they didn't dare to act rashly.

It was precisely because they didn't know what backup plan the other party had prepared to deal with them.

One had to know that even Lan Qingyou, the Tower Witch, failed to see through the other party's clone magic skill.

They didn't even dare to imagine what else was hidden behind the scenes.

Especially when it involved the Will of the World.

"The codename Wheel of Fortune was truly chosen well. You really are someone like fate itself."

Listening to Esmeralda's complaints, Lan Qingyou directly burst into laughter.

Now that you mention it, it really was like that.

Lan Qingyou even somewhat suspected this guy deliberately chose this when picking a codename.

Just like how she chose 'Tower', which represents destruction.

Otherwise, how could it be so fitting?

"Speaking of which, why suppress things like clone magic? It shouldn't be some very high-level magic, right?"

Lan Qingyou asked Esmeralda curiously.

"High-level, it isn't really very high-level. It was just to eliminate some unstable factors."

"Unstable factors?"

The crowd was puzzled.

"Think about it, what would happen if someone learned clone magic and stacked transformation magic on top of it?"

Esmeralda smiled.

Then everyone immediately realized.

"World channel!?"

"Fraud!"

Exactly.

If these two magics were stacked together, one could indeed reach that level without even worrying about their identity being exposed.

Because even if exposed, they could just vanish into thin air, making it impossible for anyone to find them again.

And actually, wasn't someone pretending to be a witch previously a similar operation?

This fully illustrated the necessity of putting an end to such things.

"Last question."

Lan Qingyou held up a finger.

"What is it?"

"You said earlier that the human body cannot be converted using values, so all those things on the personal information are actually fake?"

"No..."

Esmeralda shook her head.

"Although the things on the personal information can't be called true, they aren't fake either."

"Didn't I say earlier? This thing is like the values displayed on instruments in hospitals, they can only be considered a reference."

"It's just that relatively speaking, the reference component is slightly low."

Slightly low...

In other words, most of it can't be used as a reference?

Lan Qingyou frowned slightly.

But thinking about it carefully, perhaps that really was the case.

The most intuitive ones were the two values of health value and mana value.

For example, in a situation where you are stabbed right through, your bodily functions are actually rapidly deteriorating.

Even using a life potion only repairs the existing body.

If you want to restore blood, you still need time to rest and recuperate.

This point alone intuitively showed that values really were a joke.

But this also solved the mystery in her heart.

Which was why life potions could restore health values but couldn't restore lost blood.

It could be said that unless one used specific medicines like blood-boosting pills or blood-generating pills.

Otherwise, you just had to rest and recuperate.

There was no other way.

"Then, which part can be used as the best reference?"

Since there were parts that couldn't be used as reference objects, then there definitely existed parts that could be referenced.

So Lan Qingyou aimed at this area.

"Level, and besides that, attributes."

Esmeralda raised her thumb and index finger.

"Level is mainly reflected in magic power?"

Hearing the word 'level', Lan Qingyou had basically already guessed why the other party put this first.

"As expected of the witch who can see magic power."

Esmeralda wasn't surprised by Lan Qingyou's instant understanding.

"Speaking of this, let's talk about talents first. Do you know why talents are divided into so many grades?"

"Tell me."

"That's because the physiques of people are not the same."

"That's new. What's the story behind it?"

When it came to chatting about matters related to talents, Lan Qingyou loved it too much.

After all, she could be considered the only existence capable of making talent potions, so she was still very interested in 'decrypting' this aspect.

"There isn't really a story behind it. In fact, it's simply physical reasons. Or rather, everyone actually has the potential to reach an SSS-grade talent."

"Heh, there's such a saying?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is..."

Esmeralda slightly wagged her index finger.

"But it's slightly troublesome to explain. Let's use Tower and Death as an analogy."

...

...

Esmeralda's words made both Lan Qingyou and the stonemason master Li Huai frown in unison.

"At the very beginning, Tower's talent was E-grade, while Death's was SSS-grade, right."

"Right."

The two nodded.

"This actually involves physical condition."

Esmeralda threw away a piece of fish bone from her hand and scratched her head.

"For example, because Tower's legs couldn't walk and she had been bedridden for a long time, her physical fitness could be described as very poor, which is why it was E."

"While Li Huai, without even needing to think, definitely exercises normally, so he's SSS."

"It's just that simple..."
