Capítulo 9: The Way To Maximize Interests
Editor: Henyee Translations
Cao Yan returned to his boat and steered it towards the harbor's periphery, keeping a little distance from the other fishing boats.
He then placed a lounge chair on the deck and put his hands under his head as he laid on his newly named boat, "Influencer", and watched the stars.
There were also trillions of stars in the sky of this world. They shone brightly and did not seem any different from the night sky one would see on Earth.
Truth to be told, Cao Yan was still quite baffled by his transmigration.
"Fake system, can you give me an introduction on the exact process of transmigration?"
…
"Fake system… are you asleep?" Cao Yan asked again after not getting a reply.
It was completely silent in his consciousness. The fake system was ignoring him.
Cao Yan turned his head to look at Magic Metropolis.
One could only see a rough outline of the gigantic city at night, and it appeared very imposing, as though it could hold the entire night sky up.
Street lamps like pillars stretched all the way over Magic Metropolis to where Cao Yan was. These pillars were glowing, and their light enveloped the entire harbor.
There would be a few night birds flying across the sky and then the glow on the pillars would form a crackling electrical arch, electrocuting the birds upon contact.
It was apparent that the glow on these pillars formed some form of protective force field. It was one of the ways supernatural forces were applied in this world. It was to protect the city from danger, in case of attacks from demon beasts dashing out from the forest, when night fell.
However, this way, it would be difficult to tell friends from foe and prevent friendly fire.
The thought of supernatural forces application gave Cao Yan an idea. He called the interface screen out and selected the items tab to retrieve the demon ball he had used to capture Eggy in the afternoon. He then began studying it carefully.
The demon ball was the size of a regular fist and was very hard. It had a lot of invisible patterns on the surface and a hollow interior.
To Cao Yan, who had already become a demon pet trainer, he could feel that the patterns on the ball were faintly emitting spatial powers.
Who would have thought that such a small thing could easily contain Eggy, which was half the size of a human?
The trainer skill book had a vivid description of the demon ball's function: if one were to compare space to a tangible object like water, then putting "space" into the demon ball was the same as putting water into a container.
The demon ball was such a container. Firstly, it would take a maker with spatial talents to guide the "spatial area" into the demon ball. To seal the "spatial area", other than the demon ball itself, the primary tool was the intricate patterns on the ball's surface. They contained special, supernatural powers. The book's explanation was very scientific, calling the patterns a mysterious kind of cryptography.
The correct use of these patterns would allow the space in the ball to be folded and compressed, making it appear to be the size of only a fist. In reality, its interior would span across several meters, or even larger.
In other words, one could understand cryptography as a unique form of words or formula that could direct supernatural powers. Grouping them together would result in incredible supernatural phenomena.
Cao Yan had been through transmigration, so his mental and spiritual capabilities were like a locked-up treasure, and the skill book was just like the key to the locked door. In the afternoon, the trainer skill book had slightly opened the door and brought Cao Yan into a whole new realm. The boundless treasures in the world of the spiritual and mental realm were waiting to be explored and discovered.
The skill book contained information on how to make a demon ball and the application of cryptography. It was a pity he lacked the relevant tools. Otherwise, he would have tried his hands on it immediately.
He placed the demon ball back into the interface, and the screen disappeared automatically.
Cao Yan silently gazed at the reflection of stars on the sea.
Although he had the fake system and the spaceship as his backing, surviving in this world was still a question mark.
"When one transmigrates to a world with supernatural structure, the growth of his power would be very important. Most of the time, it would be the foundation for his personal safety and security, so he cannot stop on the path of being a demon pet trainer."
Cao Yan thought. The fake system said that other than completing missions, I could also use the exotic things in this world to exchange for the rewards in the spaceship… This could be interpreted in many ways.
Obtaining rewards by merely completing the missions would be too passive, and most importantly, even if Cao Yan were to tire himself to death, there would be limited missions for him to complete. The rewards might not even be a thousandth of those in the spaceship.
Wouldn't it be a pity if he was unable to maximize his advantages?
It was obvious that Cao Yan had to make other preparations. However, he could not rush things. He had to go slow, one step at a time.
Before he transmigrated, Cao Yan had graduated from university. He had to spend four years until he got to the position of an area director in an international company. Although it was not that high a rank, he could still be considered an elite.
When he first came into this world, he told himself to be prudent in whatever he did and to think more and speak less. However, there was no need to box himself up with so many rules. It would be too cowardly if he were to be so restricted.
In conclusion, just be inwardly passionate and not be so expressive.
His goal was to level himself up while utilizing his advantages, grab as much as possible, and hold on tight.
"I'll have to go over to Magic Metropolis to take a look again tomorrow and do some market research. It wouldn't work to toil behind closed doors."
"Ding! The host has set a direction for his future and activated a new mission!"
[Mission One: Obtain the official status of an elementary demon pet trainer
(Note: As a recognized demon pet trainer, you would have lesser obstacles in your way when trying to gain a foothold in this world. This is not a difficult mission for you since you've already acquired the skills of an elementary demon pet trainer. Go for it, transmigrated host)]
[Time Limit: Two Days]
[Rewards: 50 mission points]
…
[Mission Two: To be farsighted and build your foundation
Please prove your capabilities so that you would not have to worry about practicing as a demon pet trainer]
[Time Limit: Five Days]
[Rewards: 100 points upon completion of the mission. Failure would result in the deduction of the equivalent number of points. Since the host has no points to deduct at the moment, mission failure would result in a special punishment. You will become a retard for three days and will spank your willy in public every day at Magic Metropolis]
Cao Yan was dumbfounded. To think that there was actually something like becoming a retard and doing something dirty? Most importantly, what kind of hitting method was that? It was really difficult to imagine…
If he were to analyze it, the second mission seemed to have a broader range, with no specific mission requirement. It probably needed Cao Yan to improvise. As long as he could prove that he would have no worries practicing as a demon pet trainer, he would pass the mission.
