Chapter 338: Nonsense Literature

In Distance-Free Technique.

The youth snapped his fingers, and the scene vanished. He asked, "Now, can you answer my question? Who is Qiu Hua A?"

Chen Ran held a cigarette in his mouth.

'The initial eight people were: Chen Ran, the Five-Star Youth, Qiu Hua, Ye Qian, Gao Lan, Big Gold Tooth, Lin Xuan, and Short and Fat.'

'First: the real Qiu Hua and Ye Qian definitely need to be transferred away.'

'Second: judging from the scene, the 【Lin Xuan】 played by Big Gold Tooth eventually turned into Qiu Hua's appearance and took the Elevator to the first floor. This proves that he is Qiu Hua D.'

'Third: 【Lin Xuan】 tricked out Chen Ran's skill on the twelfth floor, and when the light returned, Chen Ran was still on the twelfth floor.'

'Chen Ran, Short and Fat, and Big Gold Tooth. Only these three could have gone to the first floor.'

'Since Chen Ran is on the twelfth floor, then the person taking the Elevator on the fourteenth floor must be Short and Fat.'

'It's impossible for Lin Xuan to go down to the second floor, therefore Qiu Hua A cannot be him.'

'Chen Ran, Short and Fat, Big Gold Tooth, and Lin Xuan are all not Qiu Hua A.'

'The real Qiu Hua and Ye Qian have already been transferred to other spaces.'

'Therefore, Qiu Hua A is Gao Lan!'

'This answer...'

'Must be wrong!'

'The reason is simple: this is the answer I deduced while suppressing my Mental State.'

'This setup was laid out by Senior. He said before that deducing while suppressing one's Mental State would result in a formalized outcome.'

'In other words, my deduction just now only arrived at a formalized result.'

'If I can deduce this result, Senior can also deduce the exact same result through suppressing his Mental State. The Mental States of the others are similar to mine, or even higher, so they can also deduce this result.'

'Senior's Highest Goodness is Like Water transcends beyond Mental State. This result should be the result he designed and wanted us to arrive at.'

Thinking up to this point, Chen Ran canceled his Mental State suppression. His shoulders began to tremble, and his entire body fell into a state of extreme excitement.

This change made the youth silently marvel and he couldn't help but take an extra glance.

When making eye contact with Chen Ran, he felt the extreme excitement in those eyes.

'Holy crap, is he on drugs?'

'But how could he possibly have the opportunity to take drugs in my Distance-Free Technique?'

'No, this is extreme madness. Has he tamed his own madness?'

This conclusion made the youth widen his eyes. He thought to himself: Just how high was the accumulation of this guy's Mental State before his death?

'He actually took the first step of The Highest Goodness is Like Water while he was still alive!'

'This kind of talent can't be envied!'

Chen Ran didn't know that he had actually groped out the first step of The Highest Goodness is Like Water while he was still alive.

He only knew that when writing in this state, inspiration flowed like a spring, hitting four keystrokes per second, and his typing was incredibly smooth and satisfying.

His thoughts...

Were currently uncontrolled by his free will.

'Since the Heart Cultivation of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment is the Buddhist severing of emotions and extinguishing of desires.'

'The Heart Cultivation of The Highest Goodness is Like Water should fucking belong to the core ideology of Daoism.'

'Since both Buddhism and Daoism are present, how could the Confucian ideology of the Unity of Man and Heaven be missing?'

'Fuck!'

'Is this bastard deliberately not telling me the third type of Heart Cultivation just to make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?'

'Fuck!'

'This is not the time to think about this right now! I should deduce who Qiu Hua A is!'

'Who is it?'

'Isn't this nonsense!'

'It's definitely Chen Ran!'

'Right, it's me. This bastard is predicting the future. What I'm seeing might just be a future scene. By the time we return to reality, I might just be transferred over by Lin Xuan.'

'Besides me, who else could it be?'

'Short and Fat?'

'Don't brag. He was crushed by my Distance-Free Technique. How could he be allowed to control the pacing of the second floor? Can he even control it?'

'Lin Xuan?'

'That's even more fucking impossible. I don't believe he doesn't know the Youth's skill. If the Youth's Forbidden Book causes Lin Xuan to hallucinate NSFW scenes, and he uses his spatial skill again, we'll all suffer, including that idiot Lin Xuan himself!'

'As for Gao Lan?'

'Bullshit!'

'If we are sucked into the Forbidden Book, and just in case Senior isn't sucked in, could he show off his advanced math skills? Looking like he does?'

'There are no other possibilities besides me!'

'Qiu Hua A is me!'

'Even if I accidentally fall into the trap, a single Eternal Kingdom can break Lin Xuan's skill. Once the space is broken, my lie will disappear.'

'So, the space in the scene is absolutely not my original space.'

'In other words, Lin Xuan transferred me a total of two times throughout the entire process!'

'Good, good, good, playing like this, huh?'

'If the space in the scene is the original space, wouldn't I be at risk?'

'So that's how it is!'

'Lin Xuan already lied on the twelfth floor, so the eighth person fleeing on the second floor is fucking Lin Xuan. With him present, if an emergency happens with the Forbidden Book, I can save all of us with a single blast of Eternal Kingdom!'

'Simply put...'

'Simply my ass. In complex terms, Short and Fat, Big Gold Tooth, Qiu Hua, myself, and Lin Xuan—our team of five absolutely cannot suffer any more casualties!'

'Otherwise, if we can't kill the Five-Star Youth this time, and we suffer more casualties, there will be no way to play out the rest of the game!'

'As expected of me. I can even deduce such a complex problem.'

Gradually, Chen Ran's tense muscles relaxed, and he silently lit a cigarette.

"Qiu Hua A is me!"

The youth looked at Chen Ran in shock. Qiu Hua A was an anti-common-sense point he had designed.

Everyone else spoke and acted according to the logic they should possess. He wanted Chen Ran to understand the formalization of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment Heart Cultivation.

However, he arranged Qiu Hua A using the Heart Cultivation of The Highest Goodness is Like Water, precisely wanting to announce the result himself when Chen Ran couldn't deduce it, so he could show off big time.

He didn't expect him to actually deduce it!

'What a monster!'

"Tell me your deduction process?"

Chen Ran glanced at him, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and tilted his chin up forty-five degrees.

The youth: "..."

'No, I haven't even showed off yet, and this bro started showing off first. Is this right?'

"Intuition."

Chen Ran's words gave the youth an urge to beat him up.

"Not happy?" Chen Ran fiercely smashed his cigarette butt toward the youth.

The cigarette butt turned into specks of starlight about half a meter away from the youth and disappeared.

Realizing something was wrong, Chen Ran quickly suppressed his Mental State and apologized: "Sorry. The aftereffects of that state just now are very strong, and I get exceptionally impulsive every time it ends."

The youth didn't mind Chen Ran's crude behavior just now; instead, he pointed out with implied meaning:

"It seems that in that state just now, you figured out a lot of things."

"Pretty much. For example, the Confucian Unity of Man and Heaven, and for another example, there might be a resurrection skill in 【The Underworld】."

Hearing this, the youth's expression grew solemn. He knew that his carefully woven rhetoric had been inadvertently seen through by Chen Ran.

Chen Ran was waiting for his answer, but the youth remained silent from start to finish. A long time later, when the third cigarette was finished, he finally said, "The Heart Cultivation of the Unity of Man and Heaven is not suitable for you. There is indeed a resurrection skill in The Underworld, but it's very troublesome. The more you know, on the contrary, the more problems it will cause."

"As for the True Self skill evolved from the final extreme, the situation is extremely special. It's better that you don't know."

Chen Ran: "..."

What an example of nonsense literature.
