Chapter 259: Gathering of the Curly-Haired Baboons

This Fairyland cost Roselle quite a bit of effort, perfectly replicating the giant tower leading to heaven from the myths and legends of his past life.

And today, Babel Tower is exceptionally lively; a huge golden round table is placed on its top floor, surrounded by a circle of silver high-backed chairs.

And now, over a dozen people have arrived here.

"Looks like quite a few fellow countrymen have come today." Roselle arrived at the head seat and sat down, looked around, and gave a crooked smile.

Chumen arrived and sat down beside Sasriel, with Amanises and Lilith next to him.

That's right, the newly formed Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society has been completely infiltrated by the Dream Council.

"The people who are coming have mostly arrived; we can begin." Roselle tapped the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

"Those who can come here are all trustworthy people, all from Earth."

That's right, everyone is from Earth, and Lilith is no exception.

"We don't have any rules here, so feel free to speak your mind. Our Research Association focuses on knowledge sharing and mutual assistance; I hope everyone can abide by the rules."

"By the way, could those newcomers introduce themselves?"

Roselle gestured toward the newcomers on Chumen's side.

"I am Morpheus." Chumen looked around; in front of the seats where the "old-timers" were, there was a copper plaque engraved with their code names.

For example, "Hela," for example, "Gandafu," for example, "Loki."

These names are also top-tier in terms of recognizability.

"Nyx." This is Amanises; the code name is taken from the myths and legends of that era, and she is also the "Goddess" of Night.

"Gaia!" Lilith's entire name was asked from Chumen, symbolizing the earth.

"Vladimir." Sasriel's code name is simple and has a very strong directional implication.

"Detective." Klein seemed quite timid, forming a sharp contrast with the aura of the "Fool."

The title of "Detective" also echoes his current pseudonym.

However, Klein was greatly shocked upon arriving here; this place seems no worse than his Tarot Club!

Roselle waved his hand, and a copper plaque rose in front of each newcomer, inscribed with their code names.

"Alright, everyone, relax a little." Roselle reminded them; as the president, he still has quite a bit of prestige, after all, he was able to secure a gathering spot like "Babel Tower."

Up to now, the image he presents is that of someone who was born into a good life, has the backing of high-Sequence big shots, and obtained opportunities in the Phantom Realm to convene this gathering.

Chumen looked up at these "fellow countrymen"; these people looked left and right, but none of them spoke.

"Ahem, I have a question." After waiting for a long while, someone finally broke the silence.

"Does anyone know about the 'Assassin' Pathway? Its Sequence 7..." the person said with some difficulty, "... is called 'Witch'."

"Why is it not 'Wizard', but 'Witch'? This implication is just too strong..."

Such a question caused the atmosphere on Babel Tower to fall silent, a bit strange.

The person asking this question was a man, which made many people's gazes somewhat stunned, followed by various emotions—schadenfreude and amusement were both present.

"'Wizard' is the Sequence 7 of the 'Seer' Pathway; I have not heard of 'Witch'," a pleasant female voice reminded.

Chumen glanced over; the code name was "Muggle."

Hearing this question, "Detective" Klein's expression became extremely strange.

"Assassin" is indeed a very attractive profession, and many people like it, but the "Assassin" of this world is not the same thing!

Klein decided to advise this brother.

"If a man drinks the 'Witch' Potion, he will change gender."

Hiss!

That brother's mouth opened wide, his eyes blank, not knowing how to think about it.

"This brother 'Sleeve Sword', be careful!" Klein did not expect to encounter such a thing during his first time attending a gathering of fellow countrymen.

Here, there is no need to act as the "Fool," nor is there a need to care about the influence of Reality, so his mindset is more like a "keyboard warrior" from before he transmigrated.

"This is the symbol of the distortion and disorder of this world." "Gandafu" looked at "Sleeve Sword's" expression and sighed.

"Sleeve Sword's" expression became even uglier; in this dangerous world, advancing is the only way to ensure one's safety, but...

"I have a different opinion." Under the strange gazes of Klein and Chumen, the president "Chaos" Roselle raised his hand.

"Life is short, why not give it a try?" Roselle's words were shocking, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Cross-dressing is the best!" Roselle was thick-skinned enough to raise his hand in front of everyone's gaze and make a cheering gesture.

"And brother, please be sure to give me your contact information..."

"Damn it! Go to hell!" "Sleeve Sword" exploded, grabbed the bronze identity plaque in front of him, and smashed it over fiercely.

"Hey! Don't!"

The scene immediately descended into chaos; some people kicked him while he was down and handed over their identity plaques, some secretly caused trouble to stir up "Sleeve Sword's" anger, and even Chumen couldn't stand it and threw a couple of punches.

In short, the atmosphere became lively.

Klein only felt how familiar this scene in front of him was; isn't this the online "war" from before he transmigrated? It's just that now it's a more advanced virtual world.

"Life is short, why not give it a try?" Klein recalled the president's words and was actually speechless.

After a good while of scuffling, the president and "Sleeve Sword" both calmed down, tidying up their images as if no one else was around.

"Ahem, I will consider it." "Sleeve Sword" sat back in his seat; after the scuffle, he had vented his pressure and began to think about his choice.

Actually, when he learned the term "Witch," he already had some preparation, he just didn't want to believe it.

But now he had to face it.

Klein looked at this fellow countryman for a long while, and probably understood.

"However, do you know about the knowledge of adjacent pathways?"

Soon, someone else brought up this concept.

"I know this; 'Assassin' and 'Hunter' belong to adjacent pathways, and 'Hunter' will also change gender, and it's female to male."

"Morpheus," Chumen decided to help "Sleeve Sword" a little.

"Huh?!" "Sleeve Sword's" eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ahem, this is indeed true. One can achieve the feat of gender-swapping through adjacent pathways," Roselle affirmed.

"It's just that for a 'Hunter' to change gender, it requires a high Sequence."

These generally low-Sequence "Curly-Haired Baboons" only felt their horizons broadened, gaining a new understanding of this world.

This is just too bizarre!

"To be precise, it is 'Hunter' Sequence 4, 'Iron-Blooded Knight'."

"Sleeve Sword's" expression changed several times, and he stopped speaking; no one knew what his choice would be.

But perhaps he will be seen at the next gathering?

Klein decided to attend all future gatherings.
