Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"You're completely trapped, aren't you? You're watching me like a tiger."

Jolyne, watching this scene from the sidelines, felt a little pitiful, like a tiger eyeing its cub, but he quickly lost his pitiful state.

"What? I'm going to save her?"

Xu Lun pointed to himself and asked the tiger cub a question.

"That's right, because she's too weak, I couldn't climb the telephone pole to save her."

He looked at his cub with a smile.

The boomerang she threw eventually landed back on Jolyne, and the antlered girl's gaze fixed intently on him.

Jolyne had no choice but to climb up, grab the clothes, and pull her down. Although she didn't know what kind of creature it was, she didn't encounter any danger.

"Survived!"

The antler-adorned girl landed and shouted energetically.

"So who are you! Why are you there!"

Tiger-eyed Tiger-cub fully utilizes the function of Jolyne's mouth substitute.

"My name is Kanoko, and I was already there when I woke up this morning."

"In short, thank you for saving me, the delinquent girl leader and the gecko man."

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

He had been politely glaring at Tiger Cub, but his composure crumbled instantly, and he roared in unison with Jolyne.

"Delinquent girl leader? Who are you calling the delinquent girl leader?!"

"Who is the Gecko Man?!"

"It's you guys."

Kanoko drew a circle in the air with both hands, pointing towards Tiger and Jolyne.

"What are you saying! I've been praised for standing like a peony and sitting like a peony."

"I could never be some kind of delinquent gang leader!"

While Tiger Cub was still nervously arguing, Jolyne was already considering whether she could defeat the antler-wearing girl.

Why does she call herself "Gecko Man"? She obtained her player status by killing that gecko. What did she discover? Has her player identity been exposed?

"Oh, I see. But you have an unpleasant smell, and my horns are reacting to it."

Nonoko lowered her head and showed her red-glowing antlers to Torako.

"So the reason you call me Gecko Man is also because of my smell and antlers?"

Jolyne stared at the bizarre antlers that could still glow, suppressing her complaints about the energy level as she asked a question.

"Yes, but you can get rid of that taste by grinding my horn into powder, mixing it with water, and drinking it."

As Naoko spoke, she ripped off one of her antlers and handed it to Jolyne.

Jolyne took the antlers, her mind blank for a moment. "Are you Li Huowang? You just ripped off a body part like that? And gave it to me so easily?"

Tiger-eyed Tiger was already sweating profusely from the strange deer-like creature. He grabbed Jolyne's hand and tried to leave, politely saying goodbye as he ran.

"I'm leaving now. Don't get caught on the power line again next time."

"See you next time."

Nonoko stood still and waved goodbye to them.

After running a long way, Hu Shi Hu Zi stopped and realized that he was still holding Xu Lun's hand. He blushed and let go.

He complained to Jolyne, "Who would want to meet that weird being again?"

Jolyne glanced at the antlers in her hand as she watched her cub leave.

He absentmindedly reminded Hu-shi-hu-zi, "Didn't you notice she's wearing the same school uniform as you?"

"And she also knows that you're involved in bad things."

Tiger glared at Tiger Cub as if struck by lightning, crouching on the ground in despair; today was the worst day of her life.

Chapter 22 Zongwu University

Tiger and Xu Lun did not attend the same school and have already parted ways.

Jolyne was a little troubled. Although he knew that reality might be dangerous after becoming a player, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. He actually encountered someone he couldn't handle on his way to school.

In fact, aside from cognitive rewriting, Jolyne had no idea what other abilities this guy had.

Physical regeneration?

Information gathering?

He had prepared a combo of activating his Heavenly Eye, becoming transparent, and entering the workshop, but Jolyne didn't dare to make a move. In the end, he left by using the hand of the tiger cub.

Is there anything special about Tiger Cub? Why is it that among so many people, only she was not affected by the cognitive rewriting, and she herself was only able to break free with the help of the workshop?

Nothing more happened on the way to school, and Jolyne made it to the classroom before she was late.

His class is 2-E.

"Long time no see, Hui."

After greeting her deskmate, Jolyne lay down on the table.

"Didn't we just see each other yesterday?"

Although it was a question of doubt, it came out of the mouth of the girl named Kato Megumi with remarkable calmness.

Megumi Kato is a cute girl with a very low profile who is never surprised by anything.

Because of Jolyne's imposing presence, no one in the class dared to sit with him, and Kato Megumi's presence had become so low that the whole class ignored her.

Whenever she chose a seat, she would be ignored and assumed to be an empty seat. In the end, only the seat next to Jolyne remained, so she became Jolyne's deskmate.

Surprisingly, Jolyne always noticed her, and they eventually became friends who could talk to each other.

"Hui, are you an evil spirit?"

Jolyne secretly activated her third eye to observe her classmate. He looked like an ordinary person, but why did he have such a low profile?

"Even if it were Jolyne, I would get angry if she said that."

Despite saying that, her emotions remained relatively calm, which is one of the highlights that sets Kato Megumi apart from others.

"And why is there a deer antler on your table?"

Kato Megumi looked at the antlers on Jolyne's table and tilted her head to ask.

Jolyne took it down and handed it to Kato Megumi.

On the way, he took the antler to a workshop for testing, and the results showed that it was just an ordinary antler, and even a little calcium deficient.

“I met a deer on the road, and she broke it off herself and gave it to me.”

"Break it off yourself?"

Kato Megumi conjured up an image in her mind: a deer hopping and skipping along the road, then encountering Jolyne, and in its terror, breaking off its antlers and fleeing into the distance.

The comical scene brought a rare smile to Kato Megumi's eyes.

Jolyne had already broken off a piece of deer antler, crushed it into powder in her hand, and soaked it in water.

Since no danger was found in the workshop, Jolyne decided to listen to what Kanoko said and soak the antlers in water to remove the gecko smell she mentioned.

Jolyne hadn't forgotten the gecko's desperate behavior back then; perhaps it was also someone else's prey.

Since Kanoko can sense her, there might be others who can as well.

Watching Jolyne drink the deer antler-infused water, Kato Megumi's expression turned somewhat strange. To confirm her thoughts, she took out her phone and started typing: What are the effects of deer antler-infused water?

Deer antlers have the effects of reducing swelling, promoting blood circulation, and benefiting the kidneys.

The result left Kato Megumi somewhat bewildered. Looking at Jolyne's appearance, she wondered if he had been overworking recently.

"By the way, Hui, what kind of person is our class monitor?"

Jolyne looked toward the center of the classroom, where Shiina Mahiru was sitting, surrounded by boys and girls, and seemed to be quite popular in the class.

In reality, Shiina Mahiru has a wide but shallow circle of friends and is very guarded.

None of the people surrounding her could truly make Shiina Mahiru open her heart.

"Hey, class president? You mean Shiina Mahiru? It's rare to hear you ask something like this."

Faced with Jolyne's question, Kato Megumi recited the information point by point, her expressionless face as she tapped her chin.

"Shiina Mahiru, 156cm tall, 79cm 55cm 88cm, is a beautiful girl who excels in both academics and martial arts. She possesses a gentle, obedient, virtuous, and perfect personality and appearance, and is known as the Angel by the people at school."

"How do you know so much about things like bust, waist, and hip measurements?!"

Jolyne remarked that this intelligence was a bit too detailed.

Confirmed by the information in her mind, Jolyne understood her neighbor, classmate, and creditor a little better.

"I learned it from observation; they never hide anything from me when they talk."

"Kato Megumi blinked as she spoke."

"As expected of you, Megumi."

Jolyne exclaimed in amazement, "If there were a Hall of Heroes in this world, with Kato Megumi's ability to conceal her aura, she could probably become a Grand Assassin after death."

The first class was math, and the teacher on the podium had a dangerously receding hairline. Listening to all the formulas, Jolyne was already starting to feel sleepy.

The time flow in the trial world is different from that in reality, and his biological clock hadn't adjusted yet. He soon fell into a deep sleep on the table.

Kato Megumi glanced at her deskmate, then at Shiina Mahiru, who answered the teacher's questions with ease. A slight emotional turmoil stirred within her. Why was Jolyne asking about Shiina Mahiru? She had never cared about such things before.

……

Jolyne, wake up.

Megumi Kato's voice woke Jolyne up. She opened her eyes and saw that the teacher in front of her had changed to Mafuyu Kirisu.

I'm giving a history lesson.

"The world is currently moving towards multipolarity."

"The old-established Ming Dynasty, the Tsarist Empire, Rome, Great Britain, and the newly emerging Free Federation..."

Naturally, one could no longer sleep during Kirisu-sensei's class, and with nothing else to do, Jolyne quietly practiced her skills below.

That’s right, practice.

The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I attain divine power. Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light, invisible to the eye and inaudible to the ear. Encompassing Heaven and Earth, nurturing all living beings. Reciting this ten thousand times, my body radiates light. Guarded by the Three Realms, welcomed by the Five Emperors. All gods pay homage, I command thunder and lightning. Demons and monsters tremble in fear, spirits vanish. Within lies thunder, the Thunder God conceals his name. Penetrating wisdom, the Five Qi surge forth. Golden light swiftly appears, protecting the True Person.

Joren tried to circulate the Golden Light Mantra and discovered that he could actually cultivate on his own, though very slowly.

To upgrade the level 1 Golden Light Mantra to level 2, Jolyne estimated that it would take her about a month to reach the required level.

Since I can cultivate and become stronger in the real world, can I pass on my cultivation techniques to ordinary people?

When Jolyne attempted to write down the method for practicing the Golden Light Mantra, Paradise sent out a message.

[Can't]

"why?"

Somewhat surprised that Paradise had taken the initiative to contact him, Jolyne wondered to himself.

[Because of the different rules of the world, for example, every creature in a certain cultivation world has its own soul, but in another world, the soul does not exist at the level of rules.]

As beings born of this world, we naturally bear the rules of this world and are subject to its limitations.

Only those with the necessary qualifications can accomplish what is impossible for ordinary people.

[So-called talent is the ability to break through the limitations imposed on oneself by the world.]

[This qualification will be automatically acquired upon becoming a player]

[This is evolution]

What happens if someone without the necessary qualifications tries to cultivate abilities from other worlds? Will they be punished by heaven?
