The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 20, Audience

Silence ensued, as Fuget, in his self-annihilating state, clearly had no idea what to do next.

Xia Mian, who had finally come to his senses, thought of it and suggested that they go back to the hotel.

Spent a dreamless night.

"Is Miss Charmian here?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Mian gave up the tail he was tidying up and opened the door of the hotel.

At the door was a hired mercenary. "Mr. Nathan Rice is going to purchase materials for making phenol incense. Do you want to go with him?"

"Wait a moment." Xia Mian quickly took care of his tail hair and put on a suit for field operations.

"Teacher, it's rare that you get up so early." Xiamian greeted Fuget. "Where's Kuru?"

"Kuru is going to record the knowledge he gained from connecting to the World Tree yesterday, so let him do it." Fugate said, "Speaking of which, I rarely dabble in aromatherapy alchemical products. This time, I just want to try the aromatherapy category."

Most of Fugate's previous research was on pharmaceuticals, solid drugs, etc.

For example, the H emotional suppressant that is very popular now is a solid drug, but when Fugate and others take it themselves, they use pills because the pills take effect faster, have better effects, and have fewer side effects.

Mass-produced H-emotion suppressants sacrifice efficacy and have relatively large side effects, but they are convenient and cheap enough, so they sell well.

Even the pharmacies here in Huachengguo sell it.

Fugate and Xiamian bought enough raw materials after just one round.

But Fugate did not stop and purchased a lot of other raw materials.

"Teacher, are you planning to improve the formula of the phenol fragrance?" Xia Mian asked.

"The phenol incense sold on the market has too many impurities, most of which are useless ingredients. I will try to improve it, and there shouldn't be any problem." said Fugate.

According to Fugate's analysis, there should be three relatively important ingredients in the aroma of phenol.

They are to enhance concentration, perception and mental strength, but many of them are plants mixed with thunder elemental power. Fuget knows that this is to enhance the efficacy of the aromatherapy smoke through activation.

However, the methods these businessmen and vitalists used to handle aromatherapy materials were too rough. Fugate had a better processing method, which could not only make the medicinal effects better and more lasting, and the aromatherapy would also be more resistant to burning.

Of course, the most important thing is that the cost of this new phenol fragrance has not increased much, and most of the materials are locally sourced.

It has to be said that the products in the Xumi area are really too abundant. Even the Xumi specialties in Daochenglin are terrifyingly numerous.

Fugate quickly completed the improved version of the aromatherapy according to his own understanding.

Then light it and wisps of smoke rise from the incense burner.

"It does smell much better." Xia Mian said after sniffing.

"Then start meditating," said Fugate.

Xia Mian said, "Don't you want to find a more secluded place?"

The location that Fugate chose was the hotel room, which was relatively quiet, but still noisy compared to the depths of the jungle.

"The environment of this hotel is good enough." Fugate said calmly.

As he spoke, Fuget entered a state of meditation, while Xiamian stood guard at the door of the room.

breathe~breath~
Fugate frowned and opened his eyes, but what he saw was not a room, but a majestic giant tree.

[Something went wrong, bro. Your consciousness seems to be separated from your body.] The system's voice echoed in Fugate's consciousness.

"I know, so what is the situation now?" Fuget, who had a bit of high-level nature, also realized his situation just now.

He even didn't care about his own six-word holy mantra.

"You look very confused." A gentle voice came from behind Fugate.

"Who are you?" Fugate turned around and looked at him, then his expression relaxed. After tidying himself up a little, Fugate bowed respectfully to the visitor and said, "I am Nathanless H. Fugate, a scholar of the Sulun School. I am honored to meet Her Majesty the Queen of Plants, the Great Auspicious Wisdom Lord, and the Great Kind Tree King."

"Hello, traveler from a foreign land." The Great Compassion Tree King said, "I can sense that there seems to be something wrong with your consciousness."

"I came here to find a solution." Fuget said after a slight bow.

"It is rumored that the World Tree contains the knowledge of all of Teyvat. I wonder if there is a way to solve my consciousness problem."

The Great Compassion Tree King nodded and said, "I need to check on you."

"Please," said Fugate respectfully.

[Brother, are you so confident?] The system asked in confusion.

He didn't mind the Great Compassion Tree King's investigation. It was impossible for him to be found anyway. His was a very advanced system, bound to the essence of the host. He was different from those low-level systems that were bound to the body, soul, and even consciousness.

Fugate made no reply.

The Great Compassion Tree King's hand, which was emitting green light, stroked Fuget's head.

The Great Compassionate Tree King fell into deep thought.

"The problems in your body seem to be caused by a certain force, but I can only feel the existence of this force but cannot find the entire force." said the Great Compassionate Tree King.

"It's the power of Ix," said Fuget. "It's the power of the legendary Void Star God IX. He believes that the universe will eventually become nothingness, and therefore is worthless. The strange power in me is not the curse of Void IX, but rather the side effects that I got when I was traveling through the sea of ​​stars."

"Because He never even glances at anyone, let alone curses them."

"I relied on a rare object to gain some capital to fight against this power of Ix," said Fugate.

Of course, the system is not that bad. In fact, the power of nothingness that they encountered at the beginning was already a relatively core power of nothingness, otherwise the system would not be completely powerless to resist.

After hearing this secret, the Great Compassion Tree King nodded, and then began to make various attempts on Fuget's consciousness.

Unfortunately, in most cases, these measures only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

Finally, the Great Compassion Tree King could only say with regret: "I have no idea about this kind of power and can't help you."

"That's enough, Your Majesty." Fuget actually felt okay, because he could feel that the erosion of his consciousness had been reduced a lot.

It has probably been reduced by 10%, which is very good for a primitive god who is still on the planet.

"Thank you very much for your help." Fugate said sincerely.

Afterwards, Fugate began to formally learn some knowledge from the Great Compassionate Tree King. All of them were ancient knowledge lost in the world. Although there was not much content on brain science, there was still a lot of research materials on alchemy and consciousness.

"Traveler from another world, you seem to be knowledgeable. I wonder if there is any way to expel the pollution caused by this power." The Great Compassion Tree King raised her hand, and a pitch-black power appeared in her palm.

The Great Compassion Tree King did not allow Fugate to directly come into contact with the power formed by this forbidden knowledge.

Instead, he told Fugate about its characteristics.

"It sounds like a kind of knowledge-based memetic pollution. The power of memetic pollution is very troublesome, but this power is still easy to solve. My name is Fuget (Forget). You just need to forget it, bury it in the corners of your memory, or delete it directly with great power." Fuget said.

"And from your description it seems that it is not just memetic contamination, but something else is mixed in."

Then the Great Compassionate Tree King let Fuget go.

After Fuget left, the Great Tree King in the gorgeous world tree space fiddled with his long hair in distress.

"The forest remembers everything, alas~Ahmar~."

Then the Great Compassion Tree King disappeared into the space of the World Tree.

[Brother~You are my brother, so next time you do something dangerous, you better tell me, okay? ] The system's voice sounded in Fuget's ears.

"I just want to gain some knowledge from the World Tree, and I didn't expect to go directly to the World Tree to meet the Great Compassionate Tree King." Fugate said to the system in his heart.

Fugate was also speechless about this.

But it's okay, after all, he is now a subject under the command of the Great Compassion Tree King, and the Demon God's Lover is no joke. "Teacher, you're awake." Xia Mian handed Fuget a glass of water.

Feeling thirsty, Fget started drinking.

"Teacher, what knowledge have you gained?" asked Kuru, holding a pen and paper.

He was also protecting his mentor, but while doing so he was also writing down the knowledge he had acquired.

"I have obtained a lot of research on consciousness, and some of it is alchemical knowledge." Fuget said, "It seems that a lot of knowledge is the result of the devil's research on consciousness. One of the devils is called Remus. He has done a very in-depth study of consciousness. Even as a mentor, I am far inferior to him."

"To integrate everyone's consciousness into the music, this is an act of harmony of destiny, even Hippie would admire it."

"Teacher, who is Shipe?" Kuru asked curiously.

"There is no need to know anything about this Kuru kid. You just need to know that he is a great existence." said Fuget.

Fugate briefly talked about the knowledge he had gained.

"It's really an unexpected bonus, don't you think so, mentor?"

Fergate nodded. "The knowledge we have gained is enough for the three of us to digest for a long time."

Having acquired a lot of new knowledge, Fugate no longer wanted to continue traveling. After hurriedly collecting the geomagnetic data, he completed his thesis.

After returning to Xumi City, the mercenaries of 'Red King Shenwei' who received their commissions looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what was going on with their employer.

The inspection, which was originally expected to take more than two months to complete, was compressed into half a month.

But I did get all the commission.

Shaking his head, the Spirit Wind Hunter stopped thinking about that and said to his brothers, "Okay, boys, don't think about anything else. Let's go back to the tribe. It happens that we haven't been back for a long time, but before that, let's go have a big drink first."

"Yes, boss." The younger brothers happily put away their weapons and followed their boss into the tavern in Xumi City.

······
I spent another happy research day.

However, the people in the Sixth Manor were replaced by Xia Mian and Samel.

For some unknown reason, this guy Kuru went off to study the earth veins. Fuget could only entrust the task to his senior brother Muyefan.

During that period, there happened to be an earthquake in the earth's veins, and Batu was too busy to spare time. Baanka was even worse off. He heard that the caravan he had formed was stopped in Liyue Harbor, and even Xumi could not return.

Fugate could only ask someone to find Samel. It just so happened that Samel was not doing well in Aru Village... Well, how should I put it? It was probably a problem of unsold potions. After all, it was just a village. No matter how prosperous it was, it was impossible for it to consume all of Samel's potions.

It was okay at the beginning, at least the income could support my research.

But later on, being able to make a living was already good enough. Now it takes a month to save enough money for the raw materials for a dose of intelligence development potion.

Sameer had no choice but to prepare to live in Xumi City and conduct his own research. Then this guy was caught by Fuget to work.

After completing today's experiment, the two ladies chatted while taking off their lab suits.

"Speaking of which, what on earth is Kuru thinking?" Samel complained, "He didn't study the elements, but went to study the earth veins."

"My mentor and I have asked him about this, but he just doesn't want to talk about it." Xia Mier said, "But what about the scars on your body?"

"I was just targeted by monsters." Samel looked at the scar on his arm and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've taken medicine. It will disappear in two or three days. The elemental shield technique that the teacher taught us... is really useful."

"By the way, Sameer, when I was chatting with Kuru before, I heard him say that he seemed to like you." Xiamier said with a strange expression.

Sameer also scratched his head and said, "Who told you to be so handsome at that time."

"What I mean is that why don't you go and ask Kuru if he can tell you. After all, if you keep something in your heart for too long, it's easy to get into trouble," said Xia Mian.

"Okay, I'll try." Sameer helped Shamian tidy up his tail hair.

"This tail is so soft, and these ears and hair..."

"Don't play with your ears..." Xia Mian reminded with a dark face. The ears of the Tinal people are very sensitive.

The two apprentices quickly finished changing their clothes.

"Teacher, aren't you going out?" Xia Mian said to his teacher who was still doing some alchemy experiment in front of the laboratory table.

The tutor's recent private research is a strange spell called [Brain Occlumency], which seems to be used to fix the effects of H emotion suppressants, and it is said that this spell can also resist abilities such as mind reading.

Xiamian was also very interested in this, and was even more interested in one of the items, because it was said that his mentor's private research also included an alchemical item called the Pensieve.

This item can store people's memories, knowledge, experience, and even subtle thoughts.

Not only can it be used by oneself but also by others. It is a very powerful alchemical item. I don’t know where the instructor found it.

This thing may be a small thing for an individual, but it is very important for a force. With this thing, all kinds of master-level skills can be preserved and passed on.

Even though there are various restrictions on the use of this kind of alchemical item, it is still very powerful.

Fuget took a look at the young and beautiful Xiamian and Sameer, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was really getting old.

"You guys go out and play. Mentor, I still have things to do." Fugate shook his head and rejected the invitation to go shopping together.

After the two men left, Fugate stopped calculating with his pen.

The system was called up.

[Finally, I have accumulated enough power of hope, and I can finally make a wish. By the way, can't you change your number addiction? You have to wait until you accumulate thirty-six draws before you draw. ]

Since Fugate has not purchased raw stones on a large scale for a long time, the power of prayer representing the number of draws accumulates very slowly.

On the contrary, it represents the accumulation of a lot of hope for determining the trajectory.

"This cannot be changed." Fugate said, "Let's first discuss what we should draw this time. Does the system have any suggestions?"

[It is strongly recommended to draw randomly. Although the possibility of getting garbage is higher, the possibility of getting good things is also higher. ]

"Then divide it into three parts. Twelve parts will be used to search for knowledge about consciousness, soul, and brain science, twelve parts will be used to search for a solution to the intrusion of Ix's power, and the last twelve parts will be randomly selected."

[Praying at the Wishing Pool]

[Bound Books from Beginners to Masters (300 Books)]: (Omitted)

The first one was rubbish... Fuget had already mastered most of the knowledge in it, and could even point out many fallacies.

Next came the second to seventh rounds, all of which were the same thing.

[Leaves of the Tree of Wisdom]*6: A three-star medicine from "The Lord of the Rings", which contains leaves of the Tree of Wisdom that are completely withered/dead/not dead/severely damaged/slightly damaged/full of vitality. Planted by elves, taking it can enlighten wisdom. The state of the leaves does not affect the effect.

It's still a good thing. Fugate plans to refine it into a potion and take it to maximize its effectiveness.

Among them, the leaves that are full of vitality or slightly damaged are prepared to be handed over to the life theory faction, hoping that they can be planted alive.

The eighth shot soon appeared.

[Educational Children's Toys - Six-Sided Checkers]: A one-star toy from the Earth OL world.

The corners of Fugate's mouth twitched. Does this count?
The remaining ninth to eleventh packages were even more disappointing, because these two were big gift packs of educational toys, including Rubik's Cubes, Tangram Puzzles, and Luban Locks.

The twelfth shot finally came with some use.

[Spell·Mechanical Mind]: A two-star spell from the world of Dungeons & Dragons, which can make people immune to certain mind control spells and emotion spells. Although it is a spell, it contains a lot of psychology knowledge.

Although it is useful, it is not very useful because it is already included in Fgate's intelligence development treatment. The effect is even stronger than this spell. As long as you don't cancel it yourself, it is a permanent effect and does not require mana at all.

"It seems that we can reduce the number of brain-related lotteries in the future." Fugate sighed.

In the first batch of twelve draws, only a few leaves of the Tree of Wisdom are somewhat useful. In fact, these things are just leaves of a relatively precious apple tree.

Fuget was also helpless about this, and the system was laughing at Fuget's bad luck.
