Chapter 561 - 364: Bad News from the Cave Diving Community
The Little Witch’s Earth Consciousness Space dream shattered into pieces.
At first, when she learned that Earth had no demons or evil ghosts, she thought it was a peaceful, beautiful, and tranquil world, like a paradise in a dream. Even the air here didn’t have the smell of demons and evil ghosts, it should have been incomparably sweet.
But as soon as she arrived on Earth, her Consciousness Space dream was shattered by the mysterious urban legends from the black community.
What’s this about purchases under $1980 not being considered a crime?
What’s this about there being over twenty thousand genders?
I can’t grasp it, I really can’t grasp it.
The Young Lady’s filter of the Otherworld’s beauty instantly broke into pieces, and suddenly she also had the notion of just letting it all be destroyed.
"I’m going to the nearby diving club to find some equipment. I almost underestimated this underwater abyss. I just explored a kilometer in and still didn’t find the Divine Tree. Is it really buried that deep? How did those mystic scholars in the Parallel World manage to dig out this Divine Tree?" Xue Dili remarked as he released fish transformed from Cursed Blood, but they didn’t reach the bottom.
He was genuinely curious about how those mystic scholars in the Parallel World found this Divine Tree.
It couldn’t possibly be because of too many ominous reports from cave diving circles drawing their attention to this hole, right?
"Oh..." The Little Witch didn’t understand what Xue Dili was saying. In her world, caves like these were 100% haunted, so she advised from the side, "Do you really want to go down there?"
"Just relax and play with your phone. By the way, how’s the new phone? Good, right?"
"Smells great."
Xue Dili shrugged, set up the internet for her, and let her fiddle with the new phone herself.
As for the other two phones, he planned to give them to his two daughters. Even though they were still young, Xue Dili didn’t expect them to learn much, so he just let them be happy and gave them each a phone.
He turned to look at the deep pit.
Currently, he still wasn’t fully adapted to such extreme environments, including outer space and this water cave a kilometer deep. He could only last half an hour at most.
Unless he underwent demonization, after which he should easily adapt to the immense water pressure and underground environment.
But he feared that his condition would worsen, so he decided against demonization and opted for professional diving equipment to last longer in the water.
At this moment, Xue Dili was quite envious of a magic called "Underwater Breathing" from the Fairy Tale World. There, mages could even dive deep into the sea and date mermaids using this magic.
This single magic solved issues like underwater breathing, water pressure, and even underwater dizziness. Xue Dili could only sigh at how unreasonable the magic on the Fairy Tale Side was.
It’s just a pity this magic can’t be replicated in other worlds.
Xue Dili suddenly realized that when authority and Cursed Blood couldn’t be used recklessly, he was merely a half-baked mage, only able to perform the "Innovation Era" ritual under specific conditions.
He never really learned magic systematically; so far, his magic proficiency was merely at a usable level.
"I should seize an opportunity to further my studies in this field," Xue Dili thought to himself.
And just as Xue Dili went to the nearest underwater club to get some equipment, a voice suddenly called out.
"Hey, buddy, need professional underwater equipment? I’ve got new stock, only 40% off." It seemed the same voice whispered by his ear.
Xue Dili: "..."
So, has your Boston zero-dollar purchases already become an industry chain? By the way, do you have to pay taxes when you sell stuff from your mysterious shop?
Xue Dili thought it was another one of those black folks looting odd shops for goods, only to be met with a familiar Greek face.
"Howard?" Xue Dili tentatively asked.
The mystic scholar in the Parallel World mastering the Celestial Technique, and a key figure in the setup of the To the Brilliance Technique, a mystic scholar who, after divorce, was forced to work as a host in a nightclub.
However, those were events in the Parallel World. In this world, Howard...
"Hey, buddy, you know me? Got any cash? I haven’t eaten in days!" Howard, whether he truly knew Xue Dili or not, excitedly blurted out.
Xue Dili: "..."
In reality, is Howard just as down and out?
Wasn’t he an assistant professor at Harvard? How has he come to the level of zero-dollar purchases with the black folks?
...
The nearest KFC.
Xue Dili ordered a lot of junk food, burgers, fries, sandwiches, along with a large soda and fried chicken.
Howard devoured the burger as if starved to death, really seeming as if he hadn’t eaten in days.
The Little Witch, tempted, also wanted some, so Xue Dili ordered a portion for the Consciousness Space as well. After all, she was a Soul Body, so eating wouldn’t make her gain weight or fortify her.
"Burp, I’m alive again..." Howard burped after finishing the large soda and slumped onto the KFC bench.
"Weren’t you an assistant professor? And a senior consultant at a company, how did you end up like this?" Xue Dili, knowing Howard’s identity, thought Howard in another world being forced to go to a nightclub was pretty bad, but reality wasn’t much better.
Perhaps it was even worse than working at a nightclub.
"Sigh..." Howard, not knowing why, felt that Xue Dili was familiar too, probably a student from university, but at this point, he could only adopt a tearful expression of "back then my tears never dried," and let out a long sigh.
"Even if I can’t remember your name, you know I’m an assistant, right? Six months ago, I was an assistant at Harvard, a senior consultant for a technology company... Can you believe I’ve fallen to this in just half a year?" Howard lamented.
