"Robot… Robot…"
"A Robot is made up of multiple mechanisms used to transmit energy…"
Luo En, lying on the bed in Azure Hotel, muttered to himself.
"Meow—" The sleeping Orange Cat suddenly felt the movement beneath her and immediately cried out, jumping off the bed.
"Lachi, is that you?" Luo En, who had sat up from the bed, was still a little shaken.
"Meow," the Orange Cat meowed, indicating affirmation.
"That's terrifying, I actually dreamt of a professional course."
"All night it was just Robots, Robots."
Looking at his surroundings, Luo En gradually calmed down.
"Oh, right, I transmigrated."
For a moment, he felt a little melancholic.
"Meow?" Lachi showed a puzzled expression from the side.
"I'm fine." Luo En rubbed her head.
"Speaking of which, when did I fall asleep, and I didn't even change my clothes." Luo En felt a bit strange looking at his attire.
By his habits, no matter how tired he was, it was impossible for him not to take off his clothes.
"What's going on?" Luo En rubbed his head, trying hard to recall what happened last night.
"Robot… Robot… Robot…"
"Why is my mind full of Robots!" Luo En felt speechless; this word kept appearing in his mind, refusing to leave.
"Robot, Sequence 8 of the Monster Pathway." Luo En suddenly frowned.
"How would I know that?" His pupils slightly widened, showing extreme shock.
Before he could recover from the shock, the information in his mind appeared first.
"A Robot can gain terrifying computational abilities and precise control, with all aspects of physical quality significantly enhanced, becoming a talent in fields like combat and shooting. At the same time, it also gains the ability of Divination and anti-Divination."
"I advanced? And this ability…"
Well, how should I put it, it feels so ordinary… This was Luo En's first reaction after seeing the "Robot" ability.
If he had spent money to buy a formula and materials, and what he ended up with was a bottle of Beyonder Potion with such a useless ability, he would definitely be furious.
But the reality was, he did nothing and inexplicably advanced.
This made him want to complain but couldn't find a reason, after all, it was a free gain!
"Are the abilities of the Monster Pathway all so abstract? Are there no abilities that are a bit more flashy, a bit more intuitive?" After much thought, Luo En could only direct his resentment towards this Pathway.
Although gaining extremely strong computational abilities as a Robot did somewhat appeal to Luo En, a science and engineering student, as someone with a certain pursuit of Beyonder, he still hoped to obtain abilities that could manifest directly.
"It won't be like this for the later Sequences of this Pathway, will it?" Luo En couldn't help but worry about his future.
"Speaking of which, how exactly did I advance?" He began to let his thoughts wander.
"That corpse!"
"It was the transparent substance on that corpse."
Luo En recalled the corpse he encountered last night; he had clearly taken the transparent substance from the corpse, but when he returned, he found that thing had disappeared.
"Could it be that the corpse was a Robot in life, and after he died, his power was extracted and inherited by me?"
This was Luo En's most reasonable guess, and it also indirectly proved one of his previous thoughts—that Beyonder can be inherited.
"But this is too coincidental! I've never been this lucky."
…
"Such good things probably won't happen again."
Seeing that he couldn't think of an answer, Luo En turned to ponder another question.
"How did I absorb it? I clearly didn't do anything?"
"I remember I put that transparent substance directly into my inner pocket; it was directly against my chest."
Could it be that the Beyonder substance extracted from a corpse is not brewed into a Beyonder Potion and consumed like Beyonder materials, but rather absorbed by direct contact with the body?
"If there's a chance, I can try it later." With his personal experience, Luo En was quite convinced of this hypothesis.
"Now that the advancement is clear, there's only one more thing left."
"That strange gaze." The thought of the feeling he had while showering earlier immediately gave him goosebumps.
"Although the warning of fate was not triggered, it still…"
"However, if my body's heat was due to the advancement, then it has nothing to do with that gaze. Then perhaps…"
"No, a hidden existence that likes to peep at others showering, how could it be a good thing!" Luo En shook his head, thinking of the worst possible scenario.
"Could it be that I was noticed by him because I took something from that corpse?"
"That shouldn't be; how do you explain the nightmares before that?"
"The last time was going to Iron Cross Street, looking for that notebook, after writing the report letter."
"This time it was after I returned from the Divination Club…"
Could it be that the notebook attracted the covetous gaze of a hidden existence?
Besides that notebook, there shouldn't be anything else, right? Although he had just made some money, he wasn't very rich.
It's impossible that a hidden existence would do something so boring for a few hundred pounds, right?
Luo En thought it over and felt that only that mysterious notebook could have attracted the attention of a hidden existence. The formula in that notebook indicated that it must be related to the Seer Pathway.
And the guy with his eyes covered whom he met yesterday was most likely also a Beyonder; from his appearance at the Divination Club, it could be seen that he might truly be a Seer.
"Could it be that Seer is problematic?" Luo En recalled the incident of him looking at that guy yesterday and becoming half-blind.
"No, the hidden existence that spied on me should not be of too low a level. That Seer should not be strong enough."
After a brief silence…
"I understand. That Seer is a subordinate of the hidden existence. I looked at him with Spirit Vision and unintentionally angered the existence behind him." Luo En thought of a possibility.
"Now the key is that I don't know how much that hidden existence values me, after all, the notebook is no longer on me…"
"There shouldn't be any reason to keep staring at me, but that peeping gaze…"
Wait, actually, I don't need to take this risk myself… Luo En suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"If I find out the identity of that Seer and report him to the Official, can I use the Official's power to eliminate that peeping hidden existence along with that Seer?"
"Even if the Official is hostile to transmigrators, they definitely won't go easy on a hidden existence that might be an evil god."
"And even if that Seer is innocent, his state that day was very suspicious, so reporting an unstable and dangerous individual is very reasonable."
"That's right, that's the plan. After the last report, Iron Cross Street was calm, maybe the abnormal situation has already been resolved by the Official. Since it worked last time, it should work this time too."
With a plan in mind, Luo En perked up, ready to take action.
…
Backlund.
"At this time, it's almost time for the Tarot Club to begin." Audrey looked at the clock in front of her with some excitement.
She closed her eyes, and after a while, she arrived in that space filled with gray fog.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." Audrey greeted elegantly, but when she looked up at Mr. Fool, she suddenly froze.
Mr. Fool had changed somewhat!
Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Audrey noticed through the misty outline that Mr. Fool was wearing a pair of pitch-black sunglasses.
