Chapter 171 - Activation of the Reiki Treasure of the Federation
It was half a month since Ren Suo last completed the mini-mission in “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”.
The cooldown time was 15 days and Ren Suo could now continue to play the mini-mission in “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”. Although the difficulty of the mini-mission also increased significantly, the game character, Zhao Zili, had also become stronger.
However, Ren Suo no longer needed the treatment from “Holy Priest”—his family had already been given one round of the treatment.
And as a Practitioner, he could also gradually become stronger through Practice, even without the treatment.
Moreover, after Ren Suo practiced the Secret Records of Glorious Xuan for several days, he could already feel the transformation in him, both physically and mentally.
Even if he became a couch potato and ate four meals a day, his muscles would still remain firm, his body would remain skinny, his skin would remain smooth, and even his mild myopia was completely cured. He could sleep in a room with the air conditioner at 26°C everyday without catching a cold even without a blanket.
As such, Ren Suo had temporarily ignored the refreshed mini-task, but when he thought of witnessing the Monkey King in real life, he immediately thought of that game.
——In the mini-game of “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”, the three gods enabled Zhao Zili to be teleported to any corner of the world.
There was no doubt that Zhao Zili did not appear in the game, “The All-Devouring Soul”.
However, with his [Invincible Shield] and [Superhuman Shield] which could even allow him to dominate the battle, Zhao Zili could not be regarded as just a passerby.
Ren Suo certainly did not want to ruin the success of the Monkey King which he achieved in the game, but it was undeniable that he had the ability to control Zhao Zili to interfere with the battle of the Monkey King.
In that case, could he also interfere with the ending of the game he had already uploaded?
In that process, the only loss for Ren Suo would be to have wasted Zhao Zili’s mission opportunity. If Zhao Zili was unable to gather 5 true believers of the three gods in New York, even Ren Suo did not know what would happen to Zhao Zili.
However, if Ren Suo did not complete the mini-mission as soon as possible, he felt that the difficulty of the task might become more and more difficult. After the upgrade in Reiki energy in the world, Ren Suo could feel that he was mastering his abilities more quickly, and the effects of the abilities were also becoming stronger, so it appeared that the difficulty of forming Reiki meridian channels of abilities was decreasing at the same time.
It might not be long before the healing ability would quickly become the norm. Even if it was not as effective as Zhao Zili’s healing miracles, it could still meet the essential treatment required for most people. At that time, the chance and speed of garnering believers for the “Three Gods of Healing” would be greatly diminished.
Nonetheless, Ren Suo no longer desired or needed a character with a healing role like Zhao Zili. It no longer mattered to him if he did not complete the mission successfully; anyway, Zhao Zili was not like the cute Irina.
Regardless, that was a consideration for the future. Ren Suo looked at the time and felt that it was about time. He immediately started the mini-mission “Recovery Priest” and found a target with a blue-tagged degree of belief in New York City.
Zhao Zili could only remain in the mortal world for 30 minutes. Ren Suo did not control Zhao Zili to land immediately, but instead used his mobile phone to watch the live broadcast from New York.
With New York being a developed country and the activation of the Reiki Treasure of New York being publicized widely, Ren Suo did not need to spend much effort before he found a live broadcast from New York hosted by a Chinese anchor in the early morning.
As the event had not begun, the live broadcaster was still talking about related events, “.. There have been many rumors of the Federation intending to establish an official Extraordinaire organization, I think it is called SHIELD..”
“Actually, I have barely seen any Extraordinaires in New York, although I’ve experienced robberies on the road a few times. I must warn you that if you come to New York, do not go to secluded areas and alleys. Even though you are still in the same city, the level of security still varies greatly between the different areas.”
“My closest encounter with an Extraordinaire was when I suddenly saw a lot of police cars rushing onto a school campus and led a young offender away. Later on, I heard from other people that the offender was suspected of committing a crime with his extraordinary powers..”
As the live broadcaster talked about his interesting stories while he was studying in New York, the camera remained focused on Liberty Island across the sea. Ren Suo made use of the time to connect his computer to the Mini Worlds Gaming Console and control Zhao Zili to upgrade his equipment and Talents from the [Treasures of the Holy Light]. This time, Zhao Zili would be a brand new, different, and super handsome.. fatty!
Suddenly, from the torch held by the right hand of the Statue of Liberty in the distance, in the live broadcast, rays of light emerged.
Begin the mini-mission!
——————
To prepare for the Reiki mission, even the navy was dispatched to the nearby military areas, and the New York City Police Department naturally had to appear.
However, the ‘low ability’ police of the Federation were naturally not qualified to go near Liberty Island and were instead responsible for maintaining law and order at New York Harbor and Long Island—due to the obvious streaks of light emerging from the Reiki vein, more and more people of the Federation were spontaneously gathering at the two closest ports to Liberty Island to witness the event.
The effects of igniting the Reiki vein could hardly be concealed. Whether it was Xuan Nation, Fanying Nation, Australia or the few other countries, more Extraordinaires had been nurtured due to the activation of the Reiki vein, and those who already had extraordinary powers also grew in strength.
Apart from the first time a Reiki vein was ignited—which was in Xuan Nation—there were always large crowds surrounding the scene to witness the event. It was not only because they wanted to enjoy the show, but it was also because of a common view and perception of people. Would they gain more by being closer to the source?
By the same logic, it was also more smelly when one was closer to the source of a fart!
The people had waited a long time, for a few days and nights, before they got to the good positions they were at now. That should increase their chances of Awakening, no?
In fact, there were actually several instances where an onlooker in the crowd was Awakened due to the ignition of the Reiki vein event. As such, people in other countries were even more convinced of that logic, and there had even been brawls between people at New York Harbor fighting for a good location.
It was just like an influenza patient who prayed to the gods and eventually healed a week later—he would think that his recovery was the result of his prayers, and not even suspect that it was due to his body killing the cold virus within a week. Humans always attributed results to their actions subconsciously and were unwilling to consider them to be due to an intangible attribute called luck.
At such a time, the Federation did not intend to crush the enthusiasm of the people either, so they sent the Federation police to maintain order.
Vanessa was such a police officer of the Federation dispatched to New York Harbor. The area she was in charge of was at the southeastern side of New York Harbor, at the trailing end of the crowd. As a 26-year-old policewoman, Vanessa did not slack like a haggard old man, and instead patrolled and carried out her duty meticulously. No one could tell that she had only slept for a total of ten hours in the past five days.
Suddenly, resounding cheers erupted from New York Harbor. Vanessa turned her head to see the torch of the Statue of Liberty glowing red!
Red and blue meteors flew from the torch-like sparks and across the land of the Federation!
People of the Federation jumped in joy and screamed loudly like it was the New Year. Vanessa could even hear people next to her shouting to the meteors to “come here” and “shoot me”.
It would be a lie to say that Vanessa did not wish to be the target of the meteors—after all, she was only an ordinary person, not an Extraordinaire.
Nonetheless, her professionalism as a police officer quickly brought her back to work. At that juncture, she saw a white light emerge from a street not far away and frowned slightly. She thought, was someone playing with a high-power flashlight?
New York Harbor was extremely lively over the past few days, and there were even street singers and jugglers who came to perform. People naturally watched them when they were bored—there was an outrageously large number of people at New York Harbor, and many people saw the opportunity and wanted to seize the chance.
However, Vanessa observed that the white light from the other street was emerging continuously, and based on the direction the white light was traveling in, the main subject with the white light seemed to be heading towards New York Harbor at the speed of a car!
“This is—” Even before Vanessa had the opportunity to report the situation there, she saw the white light erupt on the main road!
The thick beam of white light trailed in the air and landed on the congested road, and the sea of white light obstructed Vanessa’s view of the cars in front of her!
Vanessa looked up and saw a fat individual in a gorgeous white robe spinning and jumping from lamppost to lamppost, and he reached the area near New York Harbor in no time!
The feather-woven robe he wore seemed to emit its own light, and it remained a pure white even if there were other colored light sources around.
Looking at the man, Vanessa’s nervousness and anxiety dissipated immediately, and the holy voice from him sounded in her ears.historical
The next second, a piece of the pure white feathers landed on Vanessa’s shoulder and instantly dissipated all her fatigue!
“Is he an angel?” Vanessa muttered as she turned quickly to look at the individual. She realized that the slightly plump person, who donned a white robe, held in his hand..
.. A portable bazooka!
