My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 429 - 422: Su Qiangwei: Accepting the Mission!

The trip to Wudang Mountain was very rewarding.

The increase in the strength of the youth in the robe was just the least significant aspect.

The rise in fortune is mysterious to talk about, and in reality, not very direct.

Originally, Ma Ran thought that these changes would take quite a long time to manifest.

Unexpectedly, on the day he returned to Grass Hut Academy, the Wudang fortune brought by the Brotherhood Wine gave him quite a surprise.

Firstly, it was the derived ability of the [Prophet] medal.

The Prophet is not an All-Powerful God, unable to perceive or know everything that will happen in the vast cosmos.

So...

Even though Ma Ran spent half of his energy every day predicting the "Earth crisis," he still couldn’t guarantee stability and certainly couldn’t control all variables, except for rookies like the Chuanke Civilization. Other extraterrestrial invaders were seasoned and insidious, not leaking a single piece of their own information.

Under such circumstances, Ma Ran lacked key entries and data, making it impossible to accurately pinpoint all opponents.

Through the [Prophet] medal, he could only vaguely sense that after resolving the first wave of the Chuanke Civilization’s offensive, the shadow of annihilation hanging over Earth had dissipated somewhat but was still so thick that it made one’s heart pound.

Known enemies, no matter how powerful, can eventually be dealt with somehow.

Fear stems from the unknown.

Now, what worries Ma Ran the most is not the Chuanke Civilization, nor the various disasters he will face in the future, but the civilization hidden behind the [Sea Demon Feng Yuji].

After the Sea Demon calamity, Ma Ran’s strength increased significantly.

With Ma Ran’s current combat power, he could easily kill Feng Yuji.

But the problem is...

Feng Yuji, in any case, doesn’t seem like a natural "extraterrestrial sea creature," but rather a man-made life.

Moreover, Feng Yuji was just a test, and although it didn’t have the marks of crude creation, it also wasn’t meticulously crafted. Judging by its strong Life Force, it has obvious potential for great improvement.

If those civilizations causing havoc behind the scenes could mass-produce even stronger, more advanced Feng Yuji...

Even Ma Ran would find it tricky.

These worries were something Ma Ran never shared with anyone, merely shouldering them silently on his own.

Now, there’s a turnaround.

After witnessing the simulation of the Prophet against the Profound Immortal on top of Wudang Mountain, Ma Ran, with his soaring fortune, had just returned to the academy, reported his safety to his parents, and under the blessing of the famous mountain’s fortune, had a sudden inspiration to start making prophecies.

This time, Ma Ran didn’t restrict keywords or scope, just random prophecies, and immediately received extremely useful information and intelligence!

It was a dialogue fragment of those extraterrestrials behind the creation of the Sea Demon Feng Yuji!

...

Grass Hut Academy, dormitory building.

Fourth floor, corridor.

Su Qiangwei looked down from high above the Chinese garden cat in front of her.

"Meow?"

The plump orange cat held a dried fish in its mouth, with innocent sparkle in its bright eyes.

This little thing was originally a stray cat, sneaking into Grass Hut Academy unnoticed.

Initially, it was thin and small, pitiful, grayish, especially endearing, and many members of the academy would sneak food from the cafeteria to secretly feed it.

As time passed, the once weak, pitiful, and helpless stray gray cat, after several baths, revealed its true form—orange fur, glossy and sleek, and its weight changed rapidly, soaring day by day.

It is known that cats generally don’t need to converse with each other.

A glance, a body gesture, can convey everything.

The cat’s language was invented primarily to communicate with their handlers.

But on Earth, few humans like Su Qiangwei can communicate so freely with cats.

"Smelly cat!"

Squinting, Su Qiangwei lifted the orange cat by the back of its neck with Telekinesis, threatening: "Look how fat you’ve gotten now?"

"If you want snacks, go find Ma Ran."

"Steal my dried fish again, and you won’t have any good results!"

"Understand?"

The orange cat gripped the fish tightly in its mouth, its fur bristling instantly.

"Meow!"

It turned as agile as a fully-loaded delivery truck, smoothly drifted around a corner, darted out of the hallway, and vanished without a trace.

"Hmph hmph."

Feeling triumphant, the girl was just about to head to the cafeteria when a light blue system screen suddenly popped up in front of her.

[System updated.]

[Welcome to Prophet System 2.0 beta version.]

[A new task has been released. Do you accept?]

Su Qiangwei smirked, leaning against the corridor: "Let me see what specific task it is and what benefits are on offer first."

After yesterday’s "Ma Ran thinks you’re tired" incident, she confirmed her suspicions.

That guy Ma Ran could indeed contact system hosts through the [System].

If it weren’t for his good character, worthy of trust, Su Qiangwei figured she would have started thinking about how to unbind the system.

But...

Nowadays, even playing a game requires checking "I have read the XX statement and accept the unequal terms," and people in 21st-century China often randomly click through permissions when downloading mobile apps, long accustomed to such an environment.

Moreover, Su Qiangwei believed that Ma Ran’s moral standards were probably similar to hers—not low at all.

[Task Content: Ma Ran, through Limited Foreknowledge, obtained a piece of future information and is in urgent need of a universal translator.]

[Task Reward: A bowl of beef noodles (Ma Ran’s Inner Qi special edition)]

[Penalty for Failure: None.]

Ssss.

Wiping away the tears at the corner of her mouth, Su Qiangwei said in a serious, earnest tone, "Accept the task!"

Ma Ran’s culinary skill is truly excellent!

The food he made using Inner Qi, when eating, just seemed to taste good but not stunning, yet after finishing, it left an unforgettable impression.

After eating the Inner Qi donut made by Ma Ran last time, Su Qiangwei went to the canteens of various provincial academies and tried all kinds of donuts.

Yet none matched the taste of that time.

Always felt like it was missing some soul.

With a longing appetite for food, Su Qiangwei felt that with Ma Ran’s talent, not having him as a personal chef was truly a waste.

Unfortunately, Ma Ran had important duties and couldn’t waste precious Inner Qi on such needless indulgence.

"The task reward is a special edition beef noodle by Ma Ran... "

"After eating it, my Burning Martial skills might improve a lot, reaching the peak of Seventh Rank of Inner Qi, and even breakthrough to the Eighth Rank of Inner Qi shortly!"

Su Qiangwei assumed a serious demeanor, eyes firm: "To improve my strength, I’ll do my best!"

"Accept the task!"

Even though Ma Ran has cultivated Burning Martial to Twenty Ranks, with his Inner Qi transformed into Star Power, however...

Since Ma Ran issued such a task through the system, it seems the traditional craft of [creating energy food] must not have been lost.

Perhaps, the taste of Star Power food may be even better than Inner Qi food?
