I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 170-1: Melody of Knowledge, The Gazing President of the Multivision Association (1)

[Teleportation successful!]

[An ordinary wandering soul awakens within the Multivision Association…]

Lin Xun headed straight to the Eyeball Laboratory on the second floor of the building, where he had Bennett re-implant the eyeball into the President of the Direct Vision Association shell.

Last night, while at the Public Security Bureau, he had manifested the Grand Scholar shell. As for the President shell… without the True Name, he couldn’t materialize it.

The Earth Giant shell had once appeared before the New World member known as Fighter, so it wasn’t suitable to show up again within the Armed Division.

Thus, Lin Xun could only use the Mage shell to complete the support operation.

“Perfect, after this, the Earth Giant can stay hidden while the Mage shell operates openly, coordinating with each other… having multiple aliases really is a delight.”

The experience of manifesting the Grand Scholar shell… was hard to describe. For an ordinary person to suddenly sprout a mass of extra eyes, adapting immediately was impossible.

Fortunately, the boost in physique brought by the upgraded talent allowed him to adjust to the change fairly quickly.

After Bennett busied himself for a long while, the transplant surgery was declared complete.“Moving the eyeball back and forth is a bit of a hassle. If only I could obtain the President’s True Name item.”

Being unable to manifest his strongest Mage shell had always left Lin Xun a bit regretful.

He departed the association building and boarded the Refined Copper Carriage.

His destination was the Ruins of the Direct Vision Association.

Lin Xun still owed his female superior several Divine items and needed to comb the entire map in search of Veiled Aberrations.

He decided to explore the Direct Vision Association first, if luck was on his side, he might find a True Name item there.

Anyway, the Veiled Aberration Overlord has already been taken care of. There shouldn’t be any danger returning to the Direct Vision Association.

With this thought in mind, he set out on his journey to search for True Name items and Divine items…

—

Outside, the sky unknowingly darkened.

After an entire day of effort, not only did Lin Xun fail to find the President’s True Name item in the Direct Vision Association, he hadn’t even encountered a single behemoth in the mists.

He guessed that when he fought the Overlord deep in the fog, it must have already gathered every behemoth on the map.

[The lift slowly stops. You arrive on the fifth floor of the Association building…]

[…]

[You walk straight to Rona’s office and push the door open…]

[Inside the office, the Battle Angel – Valkyrie is holding a piece of velvet cloth, carefully polishing the Longbow of Windchant and Moonsong.]

[When she sees your return, she immediately stands up and remains closely guarding your side.]

[You look with curiosity toward Grand Scholar Rona, who is holding a book. She smiles and nods to you.]

[You understand, the Battle Angel – Valkyrie’s lessons have concluded.]

Lin Xun was overjoyed.

Before logging off last night, he had left the Valkyrie here to study. After a whole day of diligent learning, the Valkyrie had finally achieved results.

He couldn’t wait to open the Valkyrie’s panel.

[Watcher: Battle Angel – Valkyrie]

[Watcher Level: 53 (This level matches the Apostle’s current shell level)]

[Watcher Quality: Epic+ grade]

[Watcher Equipment: Short Purple Women’s Kimono (Fine+ grade equipment)]

[Watcher Equipment: Longbow of Windchant and Moonsong +1 (Epic-grade weapon)]

[Watcher Equipment: Retrieval Quiver (Special Equipment)]

[Watcher Skill: Melody of Knowledge (Epic-grade skill) – A captivating melody containing intricate knowledge. When gently chanted, wondrous effects occur. Using this skill will imbue the Watcher’s current arrows/ammunition with Knowledge-attribute damage. The higher the Apostle’s Knowledge stat cap, the greater the additional damage.]

Lin Xun had thought the Valkyrie might turn into a mage… or perhaps more accurately, a battle healer.

He hadn’t expected her to keep progressing further down the archer’s path.

He recalled that when he first opened the Valkyrie’s panel, the skill column had read, [Watcher Skill: None (The Watcher’s skills will gradually be comprehended as she fights alongside the Apostle.)]

Lin Xun started to understand what that meant.

“So it’s because the Valkyrie has always used a bow, her skills naturally specialize in archery.”

“That’s not bad either. If she were trying to dabble in everything, she’d end up mediocre at it all.”

Rather than letting her learn a little of everything, it was better to help her focus her development.

Unlike Lin Xun, the Valkyrie didn’t have a whole collection of shells to switch between. If she developed too broadly, she’d likely end up squandering her potential and become useless.

[Grand Scholar Rona tells you that for now, your doll has only comprehended one skill, but this is by no means her limit. As her combat experience grows, and with occasional bursts of inspiration and epiphany, she will learn more battle techniques.]

[Your doll possesses a vibrant life force not found in ordinary dolls. Her potential may be far greater than you imagine.]

Lin Xun certainly knew where the life force inside the Valkyrie came from, it was the Refined Copper Heart that the Doll Mechanist had gifted him.

[Rona asks you now that your doll’s studies are complete, if you are fully prepared, she will guide you to the Hidden Laboratory to find the President of the Multivision Association.]

[Would you like to accompany Grand Scholar Rona?]

Lin Xun thought for a moment, then tapped ‘Yes.’

Rona had already been waiting for him a long time. Since he couldn’t find any behemoths right now, rather than wandering the entire map aimlessly, he might as well follow Rona to an unexplored area, who knew, he might just run into some unexpected fortune.

Besides, after defeating the Multivision President and seizing its shell, it wouldn’t be hard to obtain the President’s True Name item later.

After all, he had a Grand Scholar right beside him who had betrayed the Multivision President.

Since he still couldn’t find the Direct Vision President’s True Name item, Lin Xun had no choice but to settle for second best.

[Rona looked a little surprised to see you finally nod, perhaps it had grown accustomed to waiting…]

[Grand Scholar Rona led you into the lift, and you descended all the way out of the Multivision Association building.]

[…]

[You followed Rona onto a Refined Copper Carriage and rode into the endless mists…]

[Seated beside you, Rona pulled out a map from her robe and handed it to you.]

[You have acquired the Route Map of the Starvault Tower Ruins (Map)]

[Grand Scholar Rona explained that the Multivision President’s hidden laboratory was built outside the city, beneath the ruins of the Starvault Tower.]

[The Starvault Tower had originally been a place for scholars to gaze at the stars and acquire knowledge. But because the tower was built too tall, it eventually touched upon the unknown. Some scholars, while pursuing knowledge, gradually became fascinated by the starry sky.]

[They turned away from their own faith in seeking knowledge and instead began to pursue the stars.]

[As a result, the Starvault Tower was toppled and destroyed by the other scholars, leaving only a vast field of ruins…]

[…]

[The carriage began to jolt and sway, as though it had entered a rough, uneven road.]

[Rona’s carriage had excellent suspension, yet you could still feel the fierce jolting, proving you had already left Sophia City and reached the wilderness beyond.]

Lin Xun’s spirits lifted. Might there be behemoths roaming out here?

He waited quietly…
