Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 219 - 121: Interviewer Tiding

Lu Wenwu stopped before the enormous Divine Beast, habitually activating the Eye of Insight.

[Tiding (E)]:1/1

[Current State]: Curious

Lu Wenwu: "???"

Wait a minute?

What’s up with these bizarre data?

This guy is actually Tiding?

And it’s the Tiding itself?

Lu Wenwu rubbed his eyes and reopened the Eye of Insight on Tiding.

[Xiezhi (A+)]:0.001/0.001

[Current State]: Angry

Before Lu Wenwu could do anything else, within about two seconds, the refreshed data changed again.

[Bai Ze]: Infinite/Infinite

[Current State]: Calm

Alright, alright, you’re just messing with me, aren’t you?

The scanned data changed three times in a row, each more absurd than the last. Even if Lu Wenwu were not in a normal state of mind, he would have realized something.

This is Tiding fooling around with me.

Seeing that the other party, the main examiner, had no intention of speaking, Lu Wenwu simply closed the Eye of Insight, took a chair from behind, and sat down.

He sat face to face with Tiding, man and beast staring blankly at each other.

They just stared at each other like that for a full five minutes.

Seeing that the other party still had no intention of speaking, Lu Wenwu simply took out an egg pancake he had prepared that evening from his personal backpack and started eating it.

Immediately, the whole interview hall was filled with a lingering aroma.

Listening to Lu Wenwu unabashedly munching on his pancake, Tiding’s large nose twitched, and it finally couldn’t resist.

A voice composed entirely of spiritual waves sounded: "I’d like to eat too, can you give me one?"

"Sure," Lu Wenwu casually took out another one, "but you have to exchange it for five thousand Spirit Coins or something else, after all, we aren’t familiar."

"How about this?"

Before the words finished, a wisp of golden light floated down from Tiding, navigating precisely in front of Lu Wenwu.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a transparent white animal hair with an outer layer coated in a dazzling gold film.

Just getting a bit closer, one could feel a constant comfortable and reassuring wave emanating from it.

Lu Wenwu didn’t take it but asked, "What is this?"

"This is a wisp of animal hair growing from my forehead," Tiding answered. "My hair carries nine Qi – i.e., Spiritual Qi, Divine Qi, Fortune Qi, Wealth Qi, Sharp Qi, Luck Qi, Vital Qi, Strength Qi, and Integrity Qi."

"If my animal hair is refined into a Protective Talisman, it can ward off evil, prevent disasters, bring blessings, and protect, and with the right magic technique, the inherent Buddha Power can make family fortunes prosper and foundations evergreen."

"Some cultivators have descended to the Underworld, sparing no expense to exchange it with me. They believe that if children wear my animal hair, they can grow up to be honest, virtuous, wise, enlightened, awakened, and long-lived. For adults, it makes hopes come true and brings great fortune."

"Winner, winner, chicken dinner?" Lu Wenwu casually added.

Tiding’s gaze shifted to the egg pancake in his hand, retorting, "Aren’t you already eating it? Egg is also chicken."

Hmm?

It really is.

Lu Wenwu thought for a moment, took out a finished egg pancake, removed the sausage inside, and handed it over.

Tiding stretched back like a dog arching its back, lazily stretching itself.

In a flash of light, the large Divine Beast constantly shrank, eventually transforming into the size of a regular small dog, then controlled the egg pancake with spiritual power to fly in front and enjoyed it happily.

Lu Wenwu took the wisp of animal hair suspended in the air, holding it in his hand.

Without any power activation, a gentle, comforting power quietly spread, instantly giving him a sense of mental and physical well-being.

Activating the Eye of Insight, Lu Wenwu looked towards his hand while eating.

[Tiding’s Pure Protective Horn Hair]: ???/???

[Current State]: Protected by rules, Spiritual Qi, Divine Qi, Fortune Qi, Wealth Qi, Sharp Qi, Luck Qi, Vital Qi, Strength Qi, Integrity Qi, Ward off evil, Prevent disasters, Bring blessings, Protection, Good fortune...

That series of buffs instantly dazzled Lu Wenwu’s eyes.

So this wisp of animal hair was plucked from around the horn on Tiding’s forehead?

If I use Devouring Heaven and Earth to refine this wisp of animal hair, could it...

"I advise you not to do that."

Just when Lu Wenwu was struck by a sudden idea, Tiding, enjoying the delicious pancake, suddenly looked up.

"With your current strength, you would never withstand a wisp of animal hair voluntarily shed by me. Although the power within isn’t much, it involves things you can’t comprehend yet."

"Then what use do I have for this?" Lu Wenwu gently rubbed it in his palm, "I can’t just have it for good luck, can I?"

Tiding finished the last bite of the pancake and contentedly wagged its tail: "Give me another egg pancake, and I’ll solve this problem for you. You can see the effect firsthand."

"Alright."

Lu Wenwu took out another one.

As he prepared to remove the sausage, Tiding spoke again: "Don’t remove it, put that one back in too."

Lu Wenwu always tried to accommodate his diners’ requests.

Though he was a bit curious: "As Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s companion, and the Divine Beast Tiding who’s supposedly deeply enlightened in Buddhist Techniques, do you also eat meat? I thought you’d abstain like those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas."

While devouring the meal, Tiding responded with spiritual waves: "Before attaining the Dao, I was a dog, and dogs eat meat, which is only natural, conforming to the cycle of heaven and earth; why abstain?"
