Chapter 714

NO. 83: No need to pay attention

【Yuehuanshe: Take some time in October, I'll take you to do source energy training】

【Start an experiment: え？】

【Deep Sea Coffee: Good.】

【Training, work-rest balance, then training: Understood, simulation schedule added】

【Yuehuanshe:?】

【Yuehuanshe: No need to constantly stare at the training group; pay more attention to surroundings and people nearby】

——

Aomo, feeling somewhat speechless at the quick response of the maids under him, knocked on that string of persuasion and then crossed out that light screen.

It is obvious that the outsider Miss Ling referred to is the maid under him, and Miss Ling seems to also understand, having added that reminder just now.

If speaking of the trial, the mercenaries' stance remains unmoved, but the trainers' hearts will liven up.

Especially, the maids' training in endurance, strength, and speed has temporarily hit a bottleneck; no matter how different the training methods tried, the eventual measured time increase is quite limited.

It is indeed appropriate to try starting from the training of the Three Goddesses' skill level, so they can properly practice source energy techniques.

In this regard, as a researcher, Suzi had long been pondering skill upgrades in the past, possessing a solid foundation, while Bourbon was approaching completeness, only awaiting the new Marseilles and other seniors to together slightly reset points and redevelop.

Obviously, second‑round players, or those called 'reincarnated retrainees', will not be slow in skill‑upgrade speed.

So what truly needs their attention is still Chazuo.

Even so, Manchester Chazuo, as a top student of spirit‑studies, already has ample source‑energy cultivation and deployment experience; although different fields are like different mountains, the foundations of most source‑energy arts are nevertheless the same.

Unless you are one of those extraordinary arts transmitted from another world—whose very source of energy differs.

Although Chazuo is a student of spirit‑studies, this spirit‑studies is not the spirit‑studies department of the Clock Tower, but a basic discipline under the local expansive field that has embraced and expanded upon many traditions.

Just like the basic department of the Clock Tower, which embraces many schools while serving only to lay foundations, students like Chazuo are heard to be at the stage of considering which advanced specialty to pursue.

That is actually quite reassuring, and with enough spare capacity for self‑defense, it lets Aomo consider giving their training an intensity that ordinary horse‑girls would not consider.

What Miss Ling said is obviously a good choice, especially with her own company.

Upon thinking of this, they could not help but look forward to October.

But right now, even September is still a few days away; compared to the other party's unfinished trial game, we ought not forget Miss Adele's commission there.

And……

"Ah, finally out——"

"I didn't expect the teleport to connect seamlessly offline—a bit of a pity, eh; I still wanted to see the scenery below the mountain."

"Yeah, the clouds and forest ink over there look gorgeous from afar."

"But up close, that overall sense of beauty is gone~!"

"Oh dear, Rudolf, don't be such a buzzkill!"

Aomo?

Amid the bustling chatter, mixed with a certain JK's stretch‑yawn moan and a certain Rupert's puzzled glance as they turned their head, Cetlina obviously noticed some discrepancy, not understanding why everyone who had left the 'projection' stood packed together, while only Aomo stood alone at the edge several meters away.

Everyone clearly arrived via simultaneous teleport—shouldn't they also be at the side?

But seeing everyone so eagerly discussing, and with Aomo waving from afar and drawing near, she still could not bear to break the atmosphere; letting Xie's eyes light up, she greeted with "Oh! Little Snake! How many seals did you get?"—and the topic began to merge.

And finally, when Chanzan came together with Miss Magellan Vienta to thank them and present an engraved commemorative seal as a reward, the discussion on 'achievement acquisition' continued for another half hour.

Stubbornness, successive stripes, Seventh Sister's dare, Broken Immortal Mountain, tracing roots to source, distant Cowherd Star, silent loom—wrapping the seven engraved seals' packaging together and stuffing it into the briefcase, Aomo even reaped a fish.

The six‑catty carp, so familiar in appearance, made Aomo zone out at the sight; they turned their head to look at Chanzan, who was holding the bag at that time.

"This fish……?"

Chanzan: "What? Think it's hard to pack? If it's a hassle to carry, we can also contact fresh‑goods delivery—just give us an address… oh, you're Penguin Logistics, huh."

De: "No, just amazed that this fish could actually be brought out."

Kong: "Yeah, isn't it just simulated imaging?"

Qian: "Right, that's it—they deliberately prepared an option to obtain a gift, then prepared the corresponding gift to reward players! You guys are really thoughtful!"

Xie: "Carp… looks like a hassle to eat……"

Huang: "It's not hard to pick with today's tools—shall I give it a try?"

Xie: "Eh? Little Snake, what do you think? Little Snake?"

Aomo: "……"

"The Immortal Mountain possesses nothing; I merely offer a single scale—take it back, for the Cowherd still worries that his repayment to you is too little."

In a daze, the words lingered by the ear, as if a familiar wine fragrance surrounded them; Aomo, in silence, pursed their lips and unconsciously exhaled.

There was no wine aroma spreading; it was truly like a dream.

Of course, this is as it should be; otherwise, the girls around them would not have failed to notice.

Especially since among them there is a certain female Rupert with a keen sense of smell.

But upon recollection, they indeed had not a shred of evidence, so even that sound seemed like an auditory hallucination; in the newly connected crystal core, they could not even drag out a shred of visual replay.

This truly has a hint of paranormal event flavor.

It even goes beyond that.

A genuine paranormal event would also leave behind spiritual particles observable by the Magic Eye (literal meaning) and data access traces; when technology is sufficiently advanced, even ghosts are not truly unknown immaterial beings.

But they still saw a similar existence at this moment.

They felt no chill in the heart, merely rather helpless.

Could this also be considered a kind of carefree ease?

Aomo gave a wry smile, shook their head, looked at the carp blowing bubbles in the plastic bag, and said: 'Don't eat it; keep it as a pet to feed—consider it a memento for a friend.'

"Eh? That works too."

Ben Ye looked at Xintiao Xi, whose appetite for koi fish wasn't large, glanced at the koi fish and also didn't say anything.

But can it be kept alive?

Miss Xintiao has no experience raising pets; even the monster she herself keeps could be injured by her. Although thinking back she feels somewhat guilty, but for now she ought to still worry about this.

As for this, a certain Qianming representative will step out from the crowd, pat his chest and say: "This small matter, once I turn back I'll send you a carp-rearing manual, Aomo."

Well, thank you very much.

Aomo was somewhat speechless: "Next, are we going to eat? Or stroll around the remaining festival?"

Wow, you actually brought it up voluntarily!

It's somewhat indifferent...

As he spoke, he suddenly saw the light screen light up; after opening it, his expression also carried a hint of subtle oddity.

【Vega: On the Lyra constellation there is a pair of stars called the 'Children of Qixi'……】

【Vega: Nothing much, just recalling some miscellaneous knowledge for this day, no need to respond】

……

【Yuehuanshe: Can you weave cloth?】

【Vega：？】

【Yuehuanshe: Nothing much, just recalling some strange things for this day, no need to respond】
