I Am Your Natural Enemy

On the other side, after Wen Yan came out, he went through various tests and was taken to a room next door for observation.

Meanwhile, the information he obtained was recorded.

Before he entered the Miracle World, he still regarded it as a game.

But once inside, he no longer thought of it as just a game, at least not completely.

He would soften his heart and take the risk to help Nuriya leave this world and liberate her.

A player wouldn’t do that; a player might just think they found a bug that could either enhance or ruin their gaming experience.

As the realism gradually increased, especially in a hardcore one-life mode, utilizing this bug becomes the only option.

As the saying goes, using cheats in a regular online game would get criticized, but if I cheat in real life, it’s all through my own efforts.

Wen Yan indeed never thought about how to exploit Nuriya; he just felt that this ghost world should quickly come to its end.

This mindset had already overshadowed the series of ideas brought about by the differing flow of time in this game world.

After he came out, he discovered that the different flow of time could truly affect his body, and even the things he saw could still be remembered, just like he had actually experienced half a year.

He naturally developed some thoughts.

He could physically enter, but under normal circumstances, an average person indeed couldn’t physically enter.

The enormous difference in time flow offered many exploitable opportunities.

According to his calculations, there was a massive difference of about over three thousand times.

Going to sleep at night with the soul or consciousness entering, and returning in the morning, that’s several years of extra time for free.

And a person’s physical body and soul have vastly different lifespans.

To the extent that even individual parts of the body have considerable differences in lifespan.

Ghosts actually have an extended ghost lifespan, much longer than their life span, and as Ghosts advance in rank, their ghost lifespan also increases. Few ever reach the end of their lifespan, but some do.

During the First Stage of the Spiritual Qi Resurgence, it was recorded in the Scorching Sun Department that some ghosts exhausted their ghost lifespan, gradually weakening and eventually reuniting with the heavens and earth.

Even though the Miracle World lacks many conditions of the real world, preventing many experiments, theoretical research utilizing such time differences still holds significant advantages.

It should be the second warrior who borrowed some mechanism from there, allowing the real physical body to enter, bringing new changes.

The items Wen Yan carried on him could be brought in effortlessly.

That implies Wen Yan should be able to bring other things in as well.

There are ways to reduce the side effects of the time flow deviation.

Whether it’s the Scorching Sun Department or the research department, many things that require time to hone and cannot be shortcut, in such a place, become equivalent to shortcuts.

As Wen Yan records information, people in the Scorching Sun Department have already noticed this point.

The General Director also noticed it, but what he cared about wasn’t the Miracle World per se, but the thought that, if a game world based in the Server Domain could achieve these things,

then the real Server Domain is also likely capable.

Or, in other words, if a Miracle World can exist, is there a possibility of another world appearing?

With merely different time flows, it indeed can be utilized.

After all, in the real universe, the variation in time flow in different places is something that objectively exists.

Once the recording was completed and after observing for a day to confirm Wen Yan had no issues and wasn’t carrying anything peculiar, Wen Yan left the computer room.

”Thank you for your hard work,” the General Director greeted Wen Yan outside.

To them, only over an hour had passed, but for Wen Yan, he had been on a business trip for half a year.

”It’s nothing, I need to go back to replenish some things.”

”What do you need? Just speak up, it’s unreasonable to have you supply your own resources for tasks.”

”Scorching Sun Jade, that’s all I need.”

”Alright.”

Wen Yan walked out of the Scorching Sun Headquarters, and outside, everything didn’t seem much different from over an hour ago.

But to him, it still felt like something he hadn’t seen in a long, long time.

He got into a car, came to the suburbs, and got off before reaching his destination.

Standing by the roadside, he recalled what his Fourth Great-uncle Master had taught him before.

Among those teachings were some basic footwork-related skills, which are sometimes needed to complement certain rituals. They weren’t required for Wen Yan to learn, but he needed to know them.

Back then, Wen Yan was still far from developing his legs and wasn’t too concerned, with his focus being on hand prints.

In the Miracle World, he didn’t dare to try recklessly and simply practiced step by step, until he came out, and then he couldn’t resist.

He remembered a footwork that Fourth Great-uncle Master personally demonstrated, saying it was often used in conjunction with certain rituals, called the Heavenly Gang Eight Trigrams Steps.

He learned it, practicing along the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation at the time.

A phrase from Fourth Great-uncle Master left a deep impression on him.

”Don’t be so petty, your footsteps make the Nine Palaces diagram too small, appearing petty without boldness, and the path will get narrower and narrower, smaller and smaller, until there’s no path to walk.”

So at this moment, a thought surfaced in his mind: If this footwork is useful to him, doesn’t it necessarily need to form a circle?

He walked straight forward, knowing that the Earth is a circle, and after many, many cycles, he’s still walking in a circle, no mistake in that, right?

Perhaps it’s those gestures themselves that directly activate the guiding forces, which are the most effective.

He stood in place, with his feet as if established in the Central Palace, crouched down, left foot forward in a straight line entering the Heaven Gua, right foot arching to the left entering the Dui Gua, left foot straight forward entering the Fire Gua, all while silently reciting a mantra.

When he took several steps following this footwork and silently recited the mantra to ”The Wheel of Fire is set ablaze, the Thundering Clap Sound,” he finally felt something different.

He faintly heard the sound of wind beside his ear, an east wind howling, borrowing a wisp of eastern wind swirling around him.

With every step, it seemed as if he was truly walking on fire, thundering sound echoing, and although the footwork didn’t appear to be fast-paced, with each step, it was as though he was running on the Moon, covering several meters in a stride.

After clumsily completing a basic circuit of the steps and returning to the Central Palace, he found himself already thirty or forty meters away.
