Chapter 26 Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Correct
Bai Yan thought fast. He knew this question must be purposeful instead of some random nonsense.
Correct
It seemed the two were only having a small chat, but Bai Yan had never forgotten the hidden identity of his friend.
Correct
He took a deep breath and was sure that Alan would definitely use Detection of Lies during their following conversation.
Correct
Unlock this chapter.
One shouldn’t forget to guard against any possible harm.
Correct
Bai Yan said, “To be honest, I was shocked at first. I searched a lot on the net and repeatedly watched Babel Tower’s videos.”
Correct
“For so many years, I always feel this world is nothing special, so hollow and boring. Now I realize that things are different.”
Correct
He continued, “I find it really shocking and exciting.”
Correct
“But that’s it. Even if the world changes a lot, the only thing I can do is to accept it.”
Correct
With that, Bai Yan brought up something else.
Correct
“So, what do you think of these things? That supernatural organization must frighten you, right?”
Correct
Hearing this, Alan smiled complacently.
Correct
Bai Yan was clear about the meaning of Alan’s smile. It came from the superpower’s subconscious sense of superiority over ordinary people, which meant no offense.
Correct
Alan must be thinking, “Hehe, you think it gives me a fright, but I already knew everything about the supernatural world.”
Correct
Thought for a moment, Alan looked at the night sky and replied, “I was thinking it would be good if one day I could work for a supernatural organization, become a member of them and experience a completely different world.”
Correct
“It must be different from ordinary people’s lives.”
Correct
“Oh, I see.” Bai Yan nodded noncommittally without saying anything.
Correct
Alan asked, “What? Have you ever had the same thought?”
Correct
“Of course.”
Correct
Bai Yan didn’t deny his desire for superpowers, for it couldn’t be a serious accusation.
Correct
Alan stared into his eyes and said, “I knew you always hated mediocrity inside.”
Correct
Bai Yan didn’t say yes or no. He had a feeling that Alan’s intention might not be interrogating him but something else.
Correct
After a while, Bai Yan left on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Correct
Now there were only Alan and Lin Bian on the balcony.
Correct
“Well, you want him to join the Demon Hunt Agency?”
Correct
Lin Bian looked at the blond guy beside him and patted Alan on the shoulder.
Correct
“Why?”
Correct
Gazing at the night sky, Alan said, “He has immense potential, but I’m still hesitating. For one thing, I don’t want to disturb his life. For another, the world is about to have massive change. Perhaps it’s better to let him know about superpowers in advance…if both of us vouch for him, he can go straight into a night watchman.”
Correct
Lin Bian frowned, “I don’t know you two are this close? But no need for hesitating because I will never agree to that.”
Correct
“Why?” Alan was utterly stunned.
Correct
“Because of intuition. I don’t like him.”
Correct
Lin Bian couldn’t tell any specific reason. All he knew was that his INT-enhanced intuition was often more helpful than logic.
Correct
“Fine, then you can’t have it.” Alan suddenly took away Lin Bian’s glass.
Correct
“You buster…”
Correct
Lin Bian was at a loss for words. Then he conjured a spider robot that was the size of a washbowl.
Correct
“It’s a gift, spider automated battle machine from Night Union…the country is getting worse under those companies’ control. It will be a disaster eventually.”
Correct
He handed the robot to stunned Alan.
Correct
“Thank you. I didn’t expect to see your sensitive side…”
Correct
Alan touched his face and returned the glass to Lin Bian. Then excitedly put the robot on the ground and turned it on.
Correct
A host, who dressed badly in a vulgar way, appeared in the hologram.
Correct
“Good morning, Night Union! So many opportunities and possibilities here! And you are the interpreter of your dream!”
Correct
Alan and Lin Bian looked at each other in speechless despair.
Correct
“The manual says that every time you turn it on, you have to wait until the advertisements finish before the robot operates normally, unless…purchase the yearly VIP of Noy Military.”
Correct
Bai Yan came to the bathroom, and something occurred to him. Then he tried to walk four steps backward.
Correct
However, nothing happened.
Correct
He shrugged, took out his phone, and checked the auto-play profits.
Correct
“Daily record for Nightsaber.”
Correct
“Slight weight gain. Eat weight loss salad for dinner. Mood -1.”
Correct
“Increase in bust size.”
Correct
“Fail to find cultists at night. Think about whether the Savior needs to go to the bathroom.”
Correct
Bai Yan was totally speechless.
Correct
‘Why does her Mood not increase when she knows her bust size increases? Isn’t it good? She doesn’t care about it at all?’
Correct
‘Also, don’t imagine me peeing in your mind!’
Correct
“Daily record for Psychic Dancer.”
Correct
“Forced to eat Escargots for dinner and feels sick. Mood -1.”
Correct
“Eat chow mein in secret. Mood +1.”
Correct
“Shocked by Nightsaber’s body figure in the video. Mood -1.”
Correct
Bai Yan sighed and did a facepalm.
Correct
He swore that he had seen the last reason for Psychic Dancer’s Mood decrease many times in the daily record before.
Correct
‘Why do you care so much about it?’
Correct
Just then, a random mission popped up.
Correct
‘Who do I choose to fight?’
Correct
The random mission set Bai Yan thinking.
Correct
Nightsaber had been tired in recent days, and she was always hardworking.
Correct
But this Psychic Dancer…Bai Yan didn’t know who this lady was in reality. She didn’t go to school, didn’t work, and didn’t even train herself!
Correct
It really made Bai Yan annoyed. If the character’s Rank could be edited manually, he couldn’t wait to give her a Rank named “Anti-work Queen”!
Correct
“I choose you! Get up and complete the mission!”
Correct
The new random mission was a battle mission, and the enemy was a group of criminals who were touched by superpowers.
Correct
Humanoid monsters were never just cultists. In Babel Tower or this world, many people acted unscrupulously after acquiring superpowers.
Correct
There were more than a dozen humanoid monsters, and their title was “Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”
Correct
Many pixel villains in black robes appeared on the phone screen, looking like regular enemies.
Correct
Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice had two different attacks. The first was to fire swift flame bombs forward, and HP would decrease when the bomb hit on.
Correct
The second was to summon a slow phantom to walk forward, and it immediately exploded after approaching Core Operator. It had larger AOE and higher damage.
Correct
“Go!”
Correct
Bai Yan firmly locked the bathroom door and focused on manipulating Psychic Dancer to fight.
Correct
The battle location was a pedestrian street, so there were many onlookers.
Correct
There was a mission requirement: Defeat all Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice within the specified time and stop a virtual bomb that was about to explode.
Correct
There was a bomb…Bai Yan took a deep breath, knowing it was serious and he must not fail.
Correct
“Time for a true display of skill!” The pixel girl said.
Correct
Psychic Dancer’s ability was powerful. If she used Psychic Domination and commanded others to suicide, she could kill Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices in seconds.
Correct
One of the features of humanoid monsters was that their HP was often low.
Correct
Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices were not that powerful. Psychic Dancer could easily make a clean kill.
Correct
The problem was that Psychic Dancer’s HP was also extremely low. After all, her STR was only 5. She would die if she were hit by two flame bombs or a phantom explosion.
Correct
It was one girl against all, and Psychic Dancer needed to beware of all the attacks. If she were not careful enough and went to the corner, she would be smashed by a barrage of flame bombs.
Correct
Bai Yan knew that getting rough was never Psychic Dancer’s style. He manipulated her to use Psychic Domination on those monsters. Some of them started to attack their companions, creating huge chaos.
Correct
Those Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices started to kill each other. All of a sudden, their bodies were blown to pieces. Humanoid monsters with low HP were easy to die.
Correct
What a success!
Correct
Bai Yan quickly manipulated Psychic Dancer to stop the pixel bomb after the battle.
Correct
“Victory, Babel Tower Legendary Point +50.”
Correct
“Successfully captured 3 Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices.”
Correct
“Mission reward received. Mystical Power: Unlimited Ammunition.”
Correct
Bai Yan muttered, “The effect of Psychic Domination on regular enemies is too significant.”
Correct
Unlimited Ammunition was a limited ability that made Core Operators impossible to be out of ammunition, so it was only suitable for a few of them.
Correct
Finally, Bai Yan let two girls go to the spring together to recover their Mood.
Correct
It was the first time for Psychic Dancer to enter the Recovery Spring. Bai Yan was suddenly curious about if she would meet Nightsaber?
Correct
‘What would the two say to each other?’
Correct
Maryse was playing with her pets in the pet room.
Correct
This light green pet room was about fifty square meters, and the ground was covered with plants. There were three cats and four dogs, while the fish and birds were kept in another pet room.
Correct
Maryse was holding a tiny Pomeranian and giggling. The dog looked at her.
Correct
“Actually, I like dogs more than humans…After all, your minds are simpler. You only want to eat, drink, play and breed.”
Correct
“Well, I’m a bit like a pet now…it’s a pity you can’t understand me, but I think I will make you annoyed if you can.”
Correct
She smiled but suddenly found her body was out of control.
Correct
Again?
Correct
Maryse’s face changed. Without hesitation, she turned around and walked out of the room, holding the Pomeranian.
Correct
Irena, her maid aside, was perplexed for not knowing what had happened to the lady.
Correct
Maryse dead inside again.
Correct
‘Wait! Wait! At least let me put down my dog!’
Correct
‘Help!’
Correct
‘Better not let me see you, the Savior! Or I’ll definitely…give you a good massage.’
Correct
Maryse was walking helplessly, but she was a bit exciting at the same time.
Correct
‘Can I receive another reward this time?’

Chapter 26 Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Correct
Bai Yan thought fast. He knew this question must be purposeful instead of some random nonsense.
Correct
It seemed the two were only having a small chat, but Bai Yan had never forgotten the hidden identity of his friend.
Correct
He took a deep breath and was sure that Alan would definitely use Detection of Lies during their following conversation.
Correct
Unlock this chapter.
One shouldn’t forget to guard against any possible harm.
Correct
Bai Yan said, “To be honest, I was shocked at first. I searched a lot on the net and repeatedly watched Babel Tower’s videos.”
Correct
“For so many years, I always feel this world is nothing special, so hollow and boring. Now I realize that things are different.”
Correct
He continued, “I find it really shocking and exciting.”
Correct
“But that’s it. Even if the world changes a lot, the only thing I can do is to accept it.”
Correct
With that, Bai Yan brought up something else.
Correct
“So, what do you think of these things? That supernatural organization must frighten you, right?”
Correct
Hearing this, Alan smiled complacently.
Correct
Bai Yan was clear about the meaning of Alan’s smile. It came from the superpower’s subconscious sense of superiority over ordinary people, which meant no offense.
Correct
Alan must be thinking, “Hehe, you think it gives me a fright, but I already knew everything about the supernatural world.”
Correct
Thought for a moment, Alan looked at the night sky and replied, “I was thinking it would be good if one day I could work for a supernatural organization, become a member of them and experience a completely different world.”
Correct
“It must be different from ordinary people’s lives.”
Correct
“Oh, I see.” Bai Yan nodded noncommittally without saying anything.
Correct
Alan asked, “What? Have you ever had the same thought?”
Correct
“Of course.”
Correct
Bai Yan didn’t deny his desire for superpowers, for it couldn’t be a serious accusation.
Correct
Alan stared into his eyes and said, “I knew you always hated mediocrity inside.”
Correct
Bai Yan didn’t say yes or no. He had a feeling that Alan’s intention might not be interrogating him but something else.
Correct
After a while, Bai Yan left on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Correct
Now there were only Alan and Lin Bian on the balcony.
Correct
“Well, you want him to join the Demon Hunt Agency?”
Correct
Lin Bian looked at the blond guy beside him and patted Alan on the shoulder.
Correct
“Why?”
Correct
Gazing at the night sky, Alan said, “He has immense potential, but I’m still hesitating. For one thing, I don’t want to disturb his life. For another, the world is about to have massive change. Perhaps it’s better to let him know about superpowers in advance…if both of us vouch for him, he can go straight into a night watchman.”
Correct
Lin Bian frowned, “I don’t know you two are this close? But no need for hesitating because I will never agree to that.”
Correct
“Why?” Alan was utterly stunned.
Correct
“Because of intuition. I don’t like him.”
Correct
Lin Bian couldn’t tell any specific reason. All he knew was that his INT-enhanced intuition was often more helpful than logic.
Correct
“Fine, then you can’t have it.” Alan suddenly took away Lin Bian’s glass.
Correct
“You buster…”
Correct
Lin Bian was at a loss for words. Then he conjured a spider robot that was the size of a washbowl.
Correct
“It’s a gift, spider automated battle machine from Night Union…the country is getting worse under those companies’ control. It will be a disaster eventually.”
Correct
He handed the robot to stunned Alan.
Correct
“Thank you. I didn’t expect to see your sensitive side…”
Correct
Alan touched his face and returned the glass to Lin Bian. Then excitedly put the robot on the ground and turned it on.
Correct
A host, who dressed badly in a vulgar way, appeared in the hologram.
Correct
“Good morning, Night Union! So many opportunities and possibilities here! And you are the interpreter of your dream!”
Correct
Alan and Lin Bian looked at each other in speechless despair.
Correct
“The manual says that every time you turn it on, you have to wait until the advertisements finish before the robot operates normally, unless…purchase the yearly VIP of Noy Military.”
Correct
Bai Yan came to the bathroom, and something occurred to him. Then he tried to walk four steps backward.
Correct
However, nothing happened.
Correct
He shrugged, took out his phone, and checked the auto-play profits.
Correct
“Daily record for Nightsaber.”
Correct
“Slight weight gain. Eat weight loss salad for dinner. Mood -1.”
Correct
“Increase in bust size.”
Correct
“Fail to find cultists at night. Think about whether the Savior needs to go to the bathroom.”
Correct
Bai Yan was totally speechless.
Correct
‘Why does her Mood not increase when she knows her bust size increases? Isn’t it good? She doesn’t care about it at all?’
Correct
‘Also, don’t imagine me peeing in your mind!’
Correct
“Daily record for Psychic Dancer.”
Correct
“Forced to eat Escargots for dinner and feels sick. Mood -1.”
Correct
“Eat chow mein in secret. Mood +1.”
Correct
“Shocked by Nightsaber’s body figure in the video. Mood -1.”
Correct
Bai Yan sighed and did a facepalm.
Correct
He swore that he had seen the last reason for Psychic Dancer’s Mood decrease many times in the daily record before.
Correct
‘Why do you care so much about it?’
Correct
Just then, a random mission popped up.
Correct
‘Who do I choose to fight?’
Correct
The random mission set Bai Yan thinking.
Correct
Nightsaber had been tired in recent days, and she was always hardworking.
Correct
But this Psychic Dancer…Bai Yan didn’t know who this lady was in reality. She didn’t go to school, didn’t work, and didn’t even train herself!
Correct
It really made Bai Yan annoyed. If the character’s Rank could be edited manually, he couldn’t wait to give her a Rank named “Anti-work Queen”!
Correct
“I choose you! Get up and complete the mission!”
Correct
The new random mission was a battle mission, and the enemy was a group of criminals who were touched by superpowers.
Correct
Humanoid monsters were never just cultists. In Babel Tower or this world, many people acted unscrupulously after acquiring superpowers.
Correct
There were more than a dozen humanoid monsters, and their title was “Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”
Correct
Many pixel villains in black robes appeared on the phone screen, looking like regular enemies.
Correct
Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice had two different attacks. The first was to fire swift flame bombs forward, and HP would decrease when the bomb hit on.
Correct
The second was to summon a slow phantom to walk forward, and it immediately exploded after approaching Core Operator. It had larger AOE and higher damage.
Correct
“Go!”
Correct
Bai Yan firmly locked the bathroom door and focused on manipulating Psychic Dancer to fight.
Correct
The battle location was a pedestrian street, so there were many onlookers.
Correct
There was a mission requirement: Defeat all Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentice within the specified time and stop a virtual bomb that was about to explode.
Correct
There was a bomb…Bai Yan took a deep breath, knowing it was serious and he must not fail.
Correct
“Time for a true display of skill!” The pixel girl said.
Correct
Psychic Dancer’s ability was powerful. If she used Psychic Domination and commanded others to suicide, she could kill Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices in seconds.
Correct
One of the features of humanoid monsters was that their HP was often low.
Correct
Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices were not that powerful. Psychic Dancer could easily make a clean kill.
Correct
The problem was that Psychic Dancer’s HP was also extremely low. After all, her STR was only 5. She would die if she were hit by two flame bombs or a phantom explosion.
Correct
It was one girl against all, and Psychic Dancer needed to beware of all the attacks. If she were not careful enough and went to the corner, she would be smashed by a barrage of flame bombs.
Correct
Bai Yan knew that getting rough was never Psychic Dancer’s style. He manipulated her to use Psychic Domination on those monsters. Some of them started to attack their companions, creating huge chaos.
Correct
Those Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices started to kill each other. All of a sudden, their bodies were blown to pieces. Humanoid monsters with low HP were easy to die.
Correct
What a success!
Correct
Bai Yan quickly manipulated Psychic Dancer to stop the pixel bomb after the battle.
Correct
“Victory, Babel Tower Legendary Point +50.”
Correct
“Successfully captured 3 Dark Sorcerer’s Apprentices.”
Correct
“Mission reward received. Mystical Power: Unlimited Ammunition.”
Correct
Bai Yan muttered, “The effect of Psychic Domination on regular enemies is too significant.”
Correct
Unlimited Ammunition was a limited ability that made Core Operators impossible to be out of ammunition, so it was only suitable for a few of them.
Correct
Finally, Bai Yan let two girls go to the spring together to recover their Mood.
Correct
It was the first time for Psychic Dancer to enter the Recovery Spring. Bai Yan was suddenly curious about if she would meet Nightsaber?
Correct
‘What would the two say to each other?’
Correct
Maryse was playing with her pets in the pet room.
Correct
This light green pet room was about fifty square meters, and the ground was covered with plants. There were three cats and four dogs, while the fish and birds were kept in another pet room.
Correct
Maryse was holding a tiny Pomeranian and giggling. The dog looked at her.
Correct
“Actually, I like dogs more than humans…After all, your minds are simpler. You only want to eat, drink, play and breed.”
Correct
“Well, I’m a bit like a pet now…it’s a pity you can’t understand me, but I think I will make you annoyed if you can.”
Correct
She smiled but suddenly found her body was out of control.
Correct
Again?
Correct
Maryse’s face changed. Without hesitation, she turned around and walked out of the room, holding the Pomeranian.
Correct
Irena, her maid aside, was perplexed for not knowing what had happened to the lady.
Correct
Maryse dead inside again.
Correct
‘Wait! Wait! At least let me put down my dog!’
Correct
‘Help!’
Correct
‘Better not let me see you, the Savior! Or I’ll definitely…give you a good massage.’
Correct
Maryse was walking helplessly, but she was a bit exciting at the same time.
Correct
‘Can I receive another reward this time?’
Correct
