NO．44：The Responsibility Relation of Scheming and Striving

When Aomo reported the numbers on the stopwatch, saying, "There was obvious progress in the early stage; you can see the movements are being standardized," it was undeniably exposed that even during a video call with others, he still didn't forget to notice the "distraction" in the field.

But the Manchester Chazuo and Meipu Bogang, who steadily conducted night training, wouldn't care about this.

The one far ahead simply nodded, then drank water reassured, while the one lagging behind, upon hearing that, turned their head to look at the not‑far training field.

There were also a few "involution monsters" running, and on the edges a few "involution ghosts" were resting during the intermission.

Among them was a certain Aimu Zhiji who, although she would put on a cold expression upon seeing Aomo, had no reason to reject running alongside Bogang and Suzi, nor could she stop Aomo from commenting.

She had also been running ahead of the Chazuo, which made the Chazuo, even if a little out of breath, still not forget to ask: "……Trainer, what are Zhiji's data?"

Aomo directly swiped the light screen's mode‑switch shortcut, displaying the chat record on that screen.

A string of timing, and a sentence 【Uphill needs intensified training, temporarily let go of speed】, and that lower sentence 【Go look at your own horse girl】.

She then became somewhat speechless.

To be frank, if this manner of getting along could be maintained long-term, it would not be lacking as a kind of tacit understanding, but what Chazuo cares about is not this.

She turned her head to look at the other, raised her hand in mutual gaze, lightly waved, then watched the other respond with a similar wave, yet suddenly turned her head in reaction—

Turned head to look at the trainer.

Zhiji classmate's subtle attitude toward the trainer can be considered a kind of concealment, yet also seems like not concealing at all, letting Chazuo immediately know who it is because of.

This also reminded her of after-school gatherings, when the other asked only three times, yet that already counted as frequent inquiries about the trainer's whereabouts.

Upon thinking of this, she herself had a question: '……Trainer, today's gathering——'

"If you are asking why I didn't come, I can only say that perhaps the girls' gathering does not need the trainer's participation," Aomo shrugged, "and you also know that if I don't stare, Xi will put something on the table."

"I just wanted to ask……" Chazuo paused, glanced at the one beside tightening the bottle cap, then continued asking, "……Are you targeting Suzi?"

"How did you see that?" Aomo asked.

"During the gathering… Suzi was looking at her phone, feeling not good, the 'friend' said, she was looking at the new training plan you sent her."

"Constantly peeking at others' screens is not necessarily a good habit, Zhouri Ningjing."

"Mind your own business," an unfounded protest came from the air, a faint phantom flickering in Aomo's brown eyes, "that person called Qianming representative also does this kind of thing, why don't you say anything?"

The view that should only be seen in the dark red pupils was instead covering normality, causing Aomo to unconsciously look at his own pocket.

There, the warm 'wages' were trembling.

Similarly a card with extremely low burden, it differs from Mefilas, possessing an obvious living consciousness.

Largely because the main body is still alive, or perhaps because Renlong itself is an embodiment of mountains and rivers, a kind of actual projection.

The power drawn from Him condenses in the secret key, then further processed into a card in the converter, becoming constantly active, and even reacting to Xiao Lin Li Qi classmate's emotions.

——When Aomo first arrived at Central, it swayed far toward the direction of Lidong Dorm; at its most intense, it even conveyed to Aomo a mental image of 'Xiao Lin Li Qi is on the phone with parents.'

Even mixed in was the girl's heartfelt prayer when she told her parents about the majesty of the dragon god.

No, send it to the main body! I am neither a dragon god nor Renlong!

At that time he felt he seemed to have over-demanded wages.

The secret key's extraction from monsters is comprehensive, and only such comprehensive extraction allows monster cards to display the monsters' power and even form—he previously hadn't paid much attention to this, treating it as merely drawing blood and power.

Behemoth that guy also had no fluctuation; this past month, when I went free to the Blessing Gospel class to draw another tube for Him to 'charge' the card, He was likewise indifferent, as long as you give me a rub of the disc.

But when he came back from complaining about Xiao Lin Li Qi's prayer, he only then realized this, and messaged Xi to confirm.

It seems… maybe… perhaps… we've also worn away some of the other's divinity……

Just like the Heart of Terra that originally received global information, which opened a node to share computational pressure—believers' prayers sent to the deity should gather in Renlong's heart; we don't know if Renlong heard it, but anyway he did.

Damn, clearly I was demanding wages, how did I end up taking the other's ID badge too!

I don't want to answer His phone!

At that time Aomo felt heavy-hearted.

There is good reason to believe that when the other was 'given a shot', just like Behemoth staying silent, the reason was pointing at deceiving myself into helping Him divert.

Thus Aomo, after painful reflection——did not tear the card.

The card is innocent!

Aomo saying this can only be said to have learned a lesson, and will not seek divine beasts in the future.

Need to find new creditors who lent power and can still default on debt. jpg, this point we could learn from Red Kai……oh, he later repaid the debt, so it's fine.

I'll just keep bullying monsters (x).

Having figured this out, my mood now is no longer heavy; of course, this also because the 'harassment calls' didn't last too long.

Should thank Xiao Lin Li Qi for not being the type to mutter the dragon god's name at the slightest disagreement; if we followed her senior Dekifukurai's habit of muttering 'Bai Xing great god' whenever idle, Aomo's heaviness would likely persist much longer.

In the end, either adapt, or stuff the card into the office display cabinet—I don't need it, just collect it!

Of course, there may be a more important reason here—namely, Renlong actually hasn't had the chance to 'call' many people.

Gods have the ability to block believers' 'calls', this will be clearly written in *Religious Studies*, and even mentioned in the elementary school People's Education Press *Science* textbook.

Don't ask why the *Science* textbook talks about gods; the scientific spirit is the spirit of investigating things to extend knowledge.

For most locals in the Jiemen area, they know that basic education in source energy and technology is mixed into one book in elementary school.

That book is called *Science*.

Even gods will lecture on science.

For example, the primordial gods actually had no right to refuse listening to believers' voices; prayer inherently has a rigid ritual, unless the god cuts off both divine office and name taboo, it is extremely hard to avoid others' 'calls', especially those precise dialings with complete rituals.

And a god who speaks of science, an experimenting god, can later develop techniques to shield prayers!

Of course, the true god of monotheistic religion does not need to do this.

They, relying on the power of our contemplation, can complete most inventions and creations, even if a large part of that power comes from believers.

However, such gods are clearly a minority.

Renlong is not a puppet idol fashioned by believers; He arises from the earth's veins, His follower base consists of those derived from feng shui concepts, the Feng Shui Masters; this group is not many, and those who have truly seen Him are even fewer.

Although the total number of humans that He has approved over thousands of years is generally more objective, but how many can survive to the present day?

Aomo is very clear about this, but!

But they won't admit it!

How? Even after becoming a switchboard operator, you still have to be grateful that the boss has few customers?

Aomo not directly scolding the dragon was giving the other side face; he thought that the other's contemptuous attitude agreeing to draw a tube of power was already rare——He might also have been provoked enough by negative energy, so after hearing Xiao Lin Li Qi's message he instantly flew into a rage, confronted himself in the agitated water tide, then gradually calmed down.

It made him feel like a villain for a moment.

The scientific expedition team also grew tense, as if Aomo had done something terrible, and the three guards didn't know where to point their blades.

But in the end, it was Xiao Lin Li Qi who stepped forward to hear Aomo's explanation of the usage.

During operation, that vibrating frequency made Aomo suspect that if the secret key really had a needle tube, it would likely break inside.

The first time closely contacting the Dragon God was giving Him an injection; the little Feng Shui Master also had a different profound unforgettable experience (x).

But looking at that brief scene of her talking with her parents on the phone, there probably isn't any strange shadow.

On the contrary, Aomo was cursed by Zhouri Ningjing, whom he hadn't seen for days and deeply missed, and then he was bounced back one by one by his divinity.

"Indeed, deliberately pulling so many people here is just to keep an eye on her."

Finally, Aomo still had to speak like a special effects show's mandatory Q&A person, leaving Chazuo and Bo Pang puzzled.

"Suzi doesn't attend class diligently and often goes out for experiments; during class time, you and Bo Pang won't have much free time to watch her, and I also often aren't at school, so we need someone else to keep an eye on her."

"No need to deliberately watch; just having enough people who have met once can make them informants."

Chazuo: "……Is it really necessary to go to this extent?"

Ningjing: "You're really dark."

Bo Pang: no response. jpg

"Just to confirm her whereabouts; she and Qian have been busy these days hiding something from me, maybe it's some dangerous collaborative project—I don't want to inquire into the details, but if someone goes missing, that's another matter."
