Chapter 338: 160: Jiang Xianwu of Préel
"Do you want to possess my abilities? Then make this game named 'Jiang Xianwu' more exciting," the fox spirit said before disappearing, suddenly causing Zhou Baiyu to feel a bit uneasy.
He quickly stripped off his clothes, and the naked Zhou Baiyu didn't feel embarrassed unless it was Lin in front of him, then he might have felt a bit awkward.
Doctor A saw the mark that had indeed appeared on Zhou Baiyu's back.
A tattoo pattern of a game controller.
"It really does exist," Doctor A said.
Zhou Baiyu also understood what Doctor A meant by asking him to undress, and he frowned,
"I earned an SSS rating, and I ended up being cursed by the gods? Is that a reasonable rule?"
"Could it be that if I just cut out this piece of flesh, removing the Divine Imprint from my body, I wouldn't be marked?"
He absolutely did not want any trouble.
Doctor A shook his head and said,
"I'm afraid not, that's the believer's mark, it cannot be removed in that way."
"But your situation seems rather unique. This mark is disappearing, which is quite illogical."
The situation was too bizarre, even Doctor A was somewhat confused by it.
"In other words, it wasn't you who chose to worship a god, but the god actively chose you. You are still a pioneer, not a Purifier."
"You're neither a corrupt seed nor a source of contamination. Quite interesting, ah... I really want to dissect you."
Doctor A exhibited a strong desire to explore the unknown. Of course, as an intermediary, there are ironclad rules that forbid harming pioneers.
Doctor A circled around Zhou Baiyu, almost like an art student eager to sketch the male form.
His gaze gradually shifted from that of an art student to that of a rejected art student.
Fortunately, in the end, Doctor A only shook his head and asked,
"Do you feel anything is off right now?"
Zhou Baiyu shook his head, feeling everything was normal,
"Since the mark is fading, could it mean that the power of the God of Games and Entertainment is weakening due to the rules, since its essence has turned into rule...?"
"So when I returned to the transit station, did it start to weaken slowly?"
Logically, once the mark was gone, the connection to the new god would be severed.
Doctor A had never seen this situation before, and he didn't know what to say.
It was something very uncomfortable for him, as his soul had traveled through so many versions, constantly swapping bodies in different versions, garnering a wealth of knowledge and experience...
But after all, he couldn't employ that ability on an intermediary.
More powerful rules protected... or rather, confined the intermediary.
So Doctor A's experiences and memories did not include those of an intermediary.
But he did not want the valuable asset, Jiang Xianwu, to encounter any issues, so he could only suggest,
"I can't answer your question, head to the real transit station, seek your mentor."
"The nine of them are recognized by the gods after all. Perhaps they know something about this unique situation."
Zhou Baiyu was slightly surprised; it turned out that Doctor A's problem-solving ability was indeed inferior to that of a true intermediary.
In fact, it was precisely because Doctor A's true form was restricted, and because among his many identities, he had even been a god but never an intermediary, and indeed needed pioneer value to change certain things, that Doctor A chose to use the "recipe" he investigated to construct the transit station.
But compared to the Time and Space God's transit station, there was still a gap.
If a pioneer died, the transit station would not disappear.
But if Zhou Baiyu died... in a sense, this incarnation of Doctor A would also die.
The other part of the gap was the amount of knowledge about official history and various rules.
Zhou Baiyu always felt something was off.
The gradually fading "controller" mark seemed not to be being expelled but might be... merging with him.
To clear up this point, Zhou Baiyu did not continue to make small talk with Doctor A.
Doctor A also knew; this time, Jiang Xianwu didn't have much to offer.
Soon, Zhou Baiyu disappeared, heading to the real transit station.
After Zhou Baiyu disappeared, Doctor A suddenly thought of something,
"Back then, I obtained many identities through soul travel, but it seems... you are leveraging your own fortune to accumulate many identities."
"Quite interesting, kid, how far will you go?"
...
...
Transit station.
Lin wasn't surprised by Zhou Baiyu's return at all.
Inside the Pioneer's voice, several guild members were praising Jiang Xianwu.
Whether it was Sima Kaoyu or others.
Because they had all received news from their own intermediaries—Jiang Xianwu achieved an SSS outcome, that area had disappeared, and would no longer appear in the choices of other newcomers.
Witnessing the achievement of an SSS outcome was staggering, and now looking back at various past experiences, Sima Kaoyu realized how cool-headed the captain had always been.
He was gradually losing his arrogance, no longer considering himself superior just because he was a Time Spirit.
In recruitment, various twisted rules might make it impossible for one to even use pioneer abilities.
And not long ago, Xinkui was inquiring of Lin,
Of course, it was Lin in another transit station:
"Is Teacher Jiang the most powerful Mutator? Lin, could you tell me more about Teacher Jiang?"
Xinkui clearly acting like a little fan.
Lin just gave him a cold look:
"You should return to reality now, if there's anything, you can choose to interact with Jiang Xianwu directly in the Pioneer's voice."
