Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 3: Chapter 29: Return from the Dead

The upgrade of the Lvl 5 Electromagnetic Control to electromagnetic energy control not only removed the level restrictions but also provided an all-around improvement. The ability now had more areas of practical application.

“It’s fine if you don’t tell me. How did you know about the Secret Scholar Society? It had hidden very well.” Jiang Cheng did not dwell on this question. After all, few would tell others about their secrets, especially a stranger they had only met a few times before; only people with damaged brains would do that.

“Don’t bother with how I knew. Just know that I was telling the truth. How was it? Have you reported it to your superiors?”

“Not yet. I still have not investigated its headquarters, just a branch.”

“Just the offenses of one branch would already result in the Secret Scholar Society dying over ten times. I recall your branch head is a hot-tempered and unyielding person. Based on his temper, he would have targeted them to the end long ago, right?” Chen Heng knew the branch head of Vast Sea City’s Special Affairs Bureau. That person had retired from the battlefield, and “explosive” would not do justice to his choleric disposition.

“I now really suspect you are a Special Affairs Bureau external member. You know quite a lot about the Special Affairs Bureau.”

“Stop changing the topic.”

“I don’t dare to tell him precisely because Branch Head Li’s temper is too fiery.”

“I feel you don’t want to tell your branch head purely because you want to deal with this matter yourself.” Chen Heng glanced at Jiang Cheng up and down, immediately seeing through his thoughts.

“…This feels truly upsetting.” Jiang Cheng gave Chen Heng an annoyed look but did not refute him.

“Do you have any interest in bringing me along?” Seeing Jiang Cheng’s current appearance, Chen Heng suddenly felt an interest in destroying the Secret Scholar Society.

What Chen Heng saw in the future and what would actually happen were two different things, after all.

“I’m not interested. Since you already know I want to deal with this myself, what gave you the courage to make this request?”

“I don’t mean anything by it. If you are not willing, then forget it.” Chen Heng only felt a passing interest. Since Jiang Cheng had no intention of cooperating, Chen Heng quickly dismissed it.

“Can you not cause such a big commotion the next time you practice your ability? Consider this a kind reminder from the Special Affairs Bureau.”

“…” As if I wanted this…

“I will keep your reminder in mind. Goodbye.” Chen Heng vanished from his original spot with a flash of electricity and a crack of thunder.

Did you think I wanted to remain here? The earlier commotion already attracted plenty of spiritual perception and Will Energy to focus on this place. I can’t wait to leave as soon as possible.

The next day:

Since the group had already gone to the water park yesterday, Chen Heng decided to rest at home today.

What’s so fun about going out? Training my ability at home is better.

Although there was no systemized method for growing abilities in Chen Heng’s world, there was the omnipotent Dimension Administrators Association’s store.

When Chen Heng searched for ways to grow his ability, he saw an item in the association’s store: the Will Energy visualization technique.

This technique visualized a powerful target, and one’s Will Energy would grow faster the stronger the target.

This item had many versions: Evil God Visualization Technique, Planet Visualization Technique, Divine Dragon Visualization Technique, etc. However, Chen Heng purchased a nonspecific visualization technique, as he felt the targets of those other visualization techniques were unreliable.

This visualization technique excelled at rapidly growing one’s Will Energy, something good that was not available in Chen Heng’s world. The ability users in his world had no clear method of growing stronger and could only grow over time.

However, the disadvantage was that the stronger the visualization target, the easier for the target to notice themselves being visualized.

If noticed, the target could cause problems while one was visualizing the target, possibly destroying one’s Will Energy.

Hence, it was better to choose a more reliable target for visualizing. At the very least, it should be someone who would not smash one to death for visualizing them. Those specific visualization techniques were not only expensive but also seemed unreliable.

After Chen Heng spent 1,000 points to purchase this visualization technique, he did not immediately choose a visualization target. He had just undergone the ability second awakening for the electromagnetic control ability, so he was not in the best state. He had to be as prepared as possible for the first visualization.

After making lunch for the bunch of foodies, Chen Heng returned to his room to experiment with the visualization technique.

Now, he did not care about who among those foodies downstairs won the right to do the dishes, as he had finally found a way to strengthen his ability.

Previously, Chen Heng was no different from ordinary ability users, only able to grow stronger with time. However, he had already reached a bottleneck at the end of the previous year and could not grow any stronger. Fortunately, the association’s store had the ability second awakening.

Right now, the problem was who to visualize. Chen Heng pondered this.

The strongest Dimension Administrators Association member should be Lord of the White Night. However, he did not want to visualize her.

It was not about trust. Instead… Alright, it was a trust issue.

Currently, Chen Heng’s relationship with Lord of the White Night is like coworkers in a company at best. Regarding relationships, it would be better than strangers but might not be much better.

Chen Heng did not want to expose such a weakness to another. One should not have intentions to hurt others, but one should always guard against others.

In the end, Chen Heng decided to visualize that powerful Chen Clan ancestor who had overdrawn on the clan’s luck.

It was possible to visualize dead people with the visualization technique, but one had to understand that person extremely well. Furthermore, one needed a close relationship with the target; a blood relative would be the best.

However, few people would choose to visualize a dead person.

The growth speed and Will Energy obtained from the visualization technique were directly related to the visualized target’s strength. If one visualized someone weaker than oneself, it would be useless; the target had to be someone much stronger than one.

There was no way to be certain whether a super-powerful expert had indeed died.

If one wanted to court trouble and visualized such an expert, that person could easily destroy one with the flip of his hand. The risk was too great. After all, powerhouses frequently returned from the dead.

There were even some powerhouses who would not truly die as long as someone in the world knew about them.

How horrifying!
