Tang Rao's words and actions were so lifelike that the beggar wanted to ask himself whether he was too hard on Tang Rao just now. It wasn't until Tang Rao dashed away that the beggar realized he had been played by Tang Rao all along.
"This boy is too bad, just like his dad. When they were young, they were full of mischief. Humph! If you had been more respectful, I might have told you more, but since you don't respect me, that's your loss!"
The beggar watched Tang Rao's distant figure, full of anticipation for the good show Tang Rao would bring them next. Not only was he waiting, but he also called a bunch of old friends to watch.
Yes, they all knew about Tang Rao's lineage. Besides Tang Rao's sister and real father, many people were eagerly awaiting Tang Rao's arrival, or rather, his return would be more precise.
Only by returning to the Motherly Peak could Tang Rao prove that he had significantly advanced compared to his previous lives.
In the past, he didn't even make it into the Motherly Peak before perishing. This life, being able to enter the Motherly Peak in his thirties, was a major breakthrough for Tang Rao.
"Yan Wei, can you invent a sensor for me based on what I have on me now? I'm terrified of being struck by lightning. You don't know how weird this place is, with lots of tricks. Whether I can get out alive depends entirely on you, my good brother!"
Tang Rao slipped under a cliff, opened his Divine Sense to sense the surroundings, and there was no one around—great.
Seizing the moment of solitude, he swiftly entered the Illusion City, once again troubling Yan Wei to come up with some cunning plans for him.
Believe it or not, Yan Wei had been with Tang Rao for so many years. Although he couldn't quite grasp the essence of Tang Rao's roguishness 100%, the phrase "full of mischief" aptly described Yan Wei.
After tutoring his daughter in kindergarten homework, Yan Wei yawned and went to the control panel to unlock the password lock, seamlessly connecting with Tang Rao's Illusion City.
"I've researched this thing before. You don't need stuff on you; you just have to attach it to your body. It's safe and practical. Even I almost fell in love with such a great invention!"
It wasn't Yan Wei bragging. If he were to seriously become a scientist, that dream would have long been realized.
Unfortunately, Yan Wei's dream wasn't to be a scientist but to always follow Tang Rao. Even when inventing things, Yan Wei always connected them closely to Tang Rao. If Tang Rao couldn't use them temporarily, he'd rather pack them in a box and never take them out.
"You should've said earlier! Where's the stuff? I'm waiting for you to air-drop it. Once I succeed, I'll invite you to eat chicken unconditionally!"
Although he's in the Divine Realm, he can still keep up with the trends of games that are popular on Blue Star.
Tang Rao was giving Yan Wei a huge favor here. Speaking of eating chicken, Yan Wei got very interested. He couldn't wait to grab Tang Rao's hand and ask whether they were eating a few pounds of chicken or a hundred pounds.
Of course, sometimes when his wife wasn't around, having some banter for fun was enough. Truly letting Yan Wei eat a hundred pounds of chicken—he might have the inclination but not the courage. If his wife knew, all the few remaining hairs he still had from dedication to scientific work would be pulled out by his wife.
The mere thought of such a scene was somewhat gruesome.
Yan Wei shivered as he transmitted the items to Tang Rao through a teleportation array he had researched himself.
The transmitted items were somewhat like the headphones on Blue Star. Before Tang Rao resolved his inner doubts, Yan Wei immediately explained the uses of the white items to Tang Rao.
"Put the wireless earphones in your ears. Don't think of them as just ordinary earphones. With them, no matter where you are, I can locate you and, if you enable the safety mode, the system will automatically alert you whenever those things you're afraid of appear. By the way, I must clarify that due to my limited invention skills, I can currently only create alerts for you. The earphones lack a physical function. If you want a physical function, you'll need to wait a few more years, maybe even longer."
Great! The first-generation Tang Rao hadn't fully understood how to use it, yet the waist circumference had already planned features for future generations. Excellent! Having such a good brother and partner, if Tang Rao were on the Moon, he'd have to add a drumstick to Yan Wei's plate for his dedication.
Having gotten the earphones and knowing their features, Tang Rao memorized them immediately. He tucked the earphones into his ears and, to his surprise, discovered these earphones were like his Divine Sense plugin. Previously, his Divine Sense could only cover a small area; with this thing, he could cover as far as he wanted, achieving complete unobstructed coverage!
Tang Rao transferred all the important points from the strategy guide into the earphones through the Divine Sense. Immediately, the earphones beeped three times, and the paper map instantly transformed into location prompts in the earphones.
Even if Tang Rao accidentally forgot some small details, it wouldn't be an issue. The earphones would automatically remind him, ensuring he didn't miss even the tiniest bit of content.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
At the foot of the Motherly Peak, before Tang Rao had a chance to familiarize himself with the route, a series of chirping sounds sent shivers down his spine.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Again!
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The sound grew increasingly loud and clear. The earphones issued an alert, but before the alerts stopped, Tang Rao was already picked up by a giant creature and taken skyward.
His feet left the ground, and he became fearful, the first time being airborne without seeing the real appearance of the big thing that had grabbed him. As to whether this was a blessing or a curse, Tang Rao didn't yet know. But having been brought up into the sky, unable to wield Immortal Energy, he was cautious not to antagonize the big thing, fearing it might toss Tang Rao into the air only to smash him to the ground, killing him directly—how embarrassing and unfortunate would that be?
"Hey, where do you want to take me?"
The big thing held Tang Rao by the back of his shirt. Tang Rao cupped his hands into a megaphone shape and shouted at the big thing.
Fortunately, the big thing didn't respond to Tang Rao but persisted in flying in one direction with a closed mouth.
Oh dear, the Motherly Peak really isn't a good place. Where on the map was this thing marked? As a place with an extremely high reputation and spoken of with mythical reverence from the outside, could it maybe act more genuinely, like following the strategy guide, letting Tang Rao level up and fight monsters along the way, and allow him to flaunt his prowess a bit more?
The big thing carried Tang Rao far. If earlier he was merely probing the edges of Motherly Peak, now he truly found himself in its depths. Many things were beyond Tang Rao's control, and he didn't know changes would occur so rapidly.
Luckily, the thing didn't keep flying endlessly; its speed gradually slowed down.
