Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Elena sat upright with her back straight, her fair and slender neck appearing very elegant.

At this moment, her aura was fully unleashed, and even her psychic and supernatural powers began to operate involuntarily.

"Go after her! Bring Nanaya Saki back!"

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "I can't believe that even in this day and age, there are still such corrupt families! What despicable means they use to restrict their members! How awful!"

"Go! Seven Nights isn't just your friend, he's my friend too. Aren't you a Bronze Saint? Aren't you a candidate for savior? Bring her back safe and sound, or don't bother coming back!"

In Zhao Hao's eyes, Elena seemed to be glowing all over, like an empress sitting on a nine-foot-high platform! Her aura was magnificent!

It seems like the Empress...

After Elena finished speaking, she waved her hand and turned to leave with the air of a general, not giving Zhao Hao a chance to speak at all.

Zhao Hao opened his mouth slightly, reaching out as if to say something but remained silent.

Um, are you serious?

If you say that, then Nanaya might just make me stay in Japan permanently!!

In truth, Elena was well aware of the subtle feelings between the two of them.

But there are already several of those small worlds, so what else can we do but grit our teeth and accept it?

At least Nanaya Sakito is alright, she can accept him.

Besides, even if she doesn't speak up, does she think Zhao Hao will just stand by and watch? If that's the case, she'll probably be a little disappointed!

"No one is perfect, everyone has flaws. He's just a little fickle. He doesn't actively cheat, I'll just keep a close eye on him. Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm not angry..."

Elena crushed the beer can in her hand, as if she had crushed something else.

She collapsed onto the sofa, trying to calm herself down. Little did she know, her therapist's first patient would be herself!

There wasn't time to explain to my friends, since Nanaya Saki should be home by now. What if something goes wrong if I'm delayed?

Let Elena explain to the others. Zhao Hao is about to leave!

In fact, given Zhao Hao's current status, leaving Amei would probably not be a simple matter.

Although the Mysterious Bureau will not openly obstruct it, it will definitely involve many more procedures, and many people will be watching it secretly.

Every candidate for savior receives this treatment.

Even those few in Europe were surrounded by people from the Secret Service and the American government.

Although they cannot mass-produce superhumans yet, they can mass-produce special agents.

Who knows, the bartender at that coffee shop near your house might be a spy for some faction!

What coffee shop doesn't have a bartender?

That's to grab your attention, because the real secret agent might be that kind-looking old lady downstairs who shares cookies with you.

However, it would be too easy for Zhao Hao to leave; he wouldn't need to go through anyone, and he wouldn't even be discovered.

Putting aside dreams and the other world, he also has the Rainbow Bridge in his hands!

The key issue now is that he has never been to Japan, so taking the Rainbow Bridge will only get him to a general location.

"No, no, it's too dangerous! I can't take that risk!" As an old silver coin, Zhao Hao certainly couldn't gamble on this!

Even if he were teleported inside Mount Fuji, he wouldn't die, but due to his personality, he wouldn't take unnecessary risks.

He chose to wander in his dreams.

First, he needed to find a target. Thinking about this made Zhao Hao regretful; if he had known Elena's attitude was like this, he would have made his move sooner.

Now we can teleport directly to Nanaya Saki as the target.

As a result, I haven't been able to enter Nanaya Saki's dream yet.

Of course, given Elena's abilities, if Zhao Hao dared to do anything behind the scenes, it definitely wouldn't be able to be kept secret. That would be terrible!

At this point, getting the first wife's tacit approval is already the best possible outcome.

While we can't pinpoint Nanaya Saki's exact location, identifying a Japanese fantasy game player is enough. It's a tiny place, easy to find.

This is safe because Zhao Hao can know the player's specific situation.

"Ika, check and see if there are any suitable players in the Japanese region as teleportation targets."

Zhao Hao had barely finished speaking when Ika's results were already given.

The mechanical maid has now evolved into the goddess Ika. With her computing power achieved through psionic P2P technology, using all players as botnets, her computing power has reached astronomical levels!

To be honest, Zhao Hao really wanted to try out the supercomputer Mr. Feynman, which he had never seen before in the Mysterious Bureau, to see what level it was at and whether it was as strong as his own Ika.

However, although Ika is now very advanced, she is still very emotionally detached, just like a robot.

There are a total of 118 Japanese players, of whom 12 are suitable as teleportation targets.

Japan is a special place, after all, it's a crossroads of the East and West.

The situation is complex, and because these are families with power that have been established for hundreds or even thousands of years, it is very difficult to deal with.

Japan's current population is approximately 120 million, and the number of superhumans is around 6,000.

However, the vast majority of them are ancient families and organizations.

Things like temples, shrines, exorcism families, kendo dojos, and the like.

Wild superhumans are very rare; if it weren't for the revival of psionic energy, they would make up less than one percent of the population.

Because if you awaken your psychic powers and don't rely on a faction, you'll find it incredibly difficult to navigate the Inner World, and you might even die inexplicably.

After all, although Japan was eager to participate in this World War II, it did not dare to get involved without the Song Dynasty's approval.

The American Black Ships incident failed, and the Song Dynasty turned the tables on them, demonstrating that the Song Dynasty was still the dominant power. Therefore, there was no Meiji Restoration; everything felt very old-fashioned.

Modern Japan is a blend of ancient traditions and Western modernity. You can see both Western suits and kimonos on the streets, and you can even see police officers with guns, samurai hairstyles, and samurai swords. Can you believe it?

Therefore, the world of the Eastern Kingdom is dominated by feudal and stubborn conservative forces, which openly and strictly prohibit emerging supernatural forces of unknown origin like the Fantasy Game.

Of course, they would secretly send some of their family's marginal members or assassins to join the Dream Game in an attempt to uncover the huge secrets and interests behind it.

Therefore, the proportion of fantasy game players in Japan is lower than in many other countries.

It's similar to South Korea, but the treatment of wild superhumans here has been much better than in South Korea in the last decade.

Japan only has rigid class structures, but the chaebols in South Korea are the real predators who devour people without spitting out the bones!

Just as Zhao Hao was about to choose a target, the Magic Mirror appeared. It wouldn't miss any opportunity to flatter.

"No one is wiser than Master. Please, great Master, consider whether this target is suitable? Although he is not a player of the Fantasy Westward Journey game, he has been exposed to its propaganda, and now that he is on the verge of death, it can save us a lot of trouble!"

Chapter 409 Where did this raccoon come from?

A young man in his early twenties, his white kendo uniform stained with blood.

His name is Nichimae Akiha, a swordsmanship practitioner with a somewhat chuunibyou (delusional) personality, similar to his surname.

Originally, I had only participated in the kendo club in high school, but that gave me a dream of becoming a swordsman.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, during an unintentional, childish act, he awakened his psychic powers.

Before having much experience, Akiha suddenly felt that her destiny had arrived. Fate had made her an extraordinary superman, and there must be some extraordinary mission involved!

A feeling arose spontaneously that I was about to be entrusted with a great mission, and I was unable to extricate myself from it.

Because he was from Shikoku, and his hometown was a small place in Kochi Prefecture, there really weren't any established families or supernatural organizations there. Even the Kochi Garrison Commander's family, which claimed to have a 300-year history, didn't know what supernatural beings were.

Having just awakened his spiritual power, Akiha Nizenmae's overall abilities have greatly improved, and he has even managed to defeat several seniors in swordsmanship, making it a highlight of his life.

However, he was at a loss as to what to do next.

Didn't we agree that I would have a mentor or childhood sweetheart to guide me in what I do?

Where is it? I can't wait!

He waited impatiently for over a month, but he couldn't hold back any longer. He had to do something, right?

I understand now. It must be that my strength is not enough. I need to keep honing my skills!

I don't know which unlucky person suddenly started talking about the legends on Sword Mountain.

Legend has it that a peerless swordsman once cultivated on Sword Mountain. His astonishing perseverance moved the immortals, who then bestowed upon him unparalleled sword techniques!

It is said that even Miyamoto Musashi once came here in search of the swordsmanship master!

Japan has a history spanning a thousand years, and many legends surround it. Because it followed its suzerain state, the Song Dynasty, there were also some practitioners of spiritual cultivation there.

It's all a jumbled mess: Buddhism, Shintoism, witchcraft, Shugendo, Western Christian branches, or even demon worship.

Before this, Akiha had heard that a long time ago, there were Shugendo practitioners who trained at the summit of Kenzan. He believed it!

The so-called "Returning to the Peak" practice, also known as "Thousand-Day Returning to the Peak," is an extremely rigorous ascetic practice.

The specific content involves climbing a mountain in special attire, with a special ceremony, and at a special time!

Don't think climbing mountains is easy; this is no ordinary mountain climb.

This training requires practitioners to spend 7 years to complete it. In the first 3 years, they must make 100 round trips each year, covering 30 kilometers of mountain road!

In the fourth and fifth years, it is required to ensure 200 days of round trip each year.

That's not all. After accumulating 700 days of mountain climbing time over the first five years, the "entry into the hall" ceremony can begin.

What is meant by "entering the hall"? It means staying without eating, drinking, or sleeping for nine days, and even being unable to move, while reciting the Immovable Mantra 100,000 times within those nine days.

After completing these nine days of arduous pilgrimage, the remaining two years will be spent repeating the same mountain climbing journey.

However, the distance had to be increased from 30 kilometers to 60 kilometers, and in the last year it even had to be increased to 84 kilometers.

To put it simply, this ascetic practice is to climb mountains continuously for 1000 days.

Putting aside the tedium, it's also an extremely tough test for your feet. My legs have gotten so thin from running!

Besides, this mountain isn't safe; there are demons and monsters and all.

The higher your level of spiritual cultivation, the more these beings you will attract.

Just like those demons who prevented Shakyamuni from becoming a Buddha, they will also come out to obstruct or even kill practitioners.

Because this is also a form of spiritual practice for them!

The food chain is cycling!
