Lin Sanjiu did not expect that her trip would last more than two months. When she saw Bai Xiaoke, Green lon, and Qian Zhengguan again, she noticed that there was only hunger in their eyes. When they found the bag of food left by Lin Sanjiu, the three of them started rationing. However, even though they only ate a mouthful of bread each day, they already finished all their rations more than half a month ago.
As they couldn’t step on the ground, they spent a significant amount of effort planting a few more tree stumps in Lin Sanjiu’s excavation area. Every day, they would choose a different location and let Green lon float up to the sky so that he could spot any signs of Lin Sanjiu returning.
“Sister Lin, if you still hadn’t co back, we were planning to eat that Qian guy,” Green lon said while burping after he had his fill. “In the end, we didn’t eat him because he was too skinny…”
Qian Zhengguan’s face darkened. While he continued eating his noodles, he moved over to another tree stump. He was so thin that his face had sunken in, and his round eyes now looked larger than before.
Green lon’s careless joke imdiately evoked so sentints from the others—Snow knew that Error 517 had always been a close friend of Green lon. He and the twins called Green lon aside and talked to him softly.
Seeing them, Lin Sanjiu sighed and looked away. After escaping a life-and-death situation and eting each other again, Xueqin and Bai Xiaoke continued bickering, while Xueqin occasionally let out a dry laugh. anwhile, B.Rabbit recently found a new hobby. Once he found a spot to settle down, he would find a bottle of beer from so unknown place. He would pour the beer into the [Bubbles Blowing Girl]’s hand so that if ford a small pool, then he would bury his face in the pool and start drinking.
“Hey, we need to spend more effort looking for a Consular Officer,” Lin Sanjiu walked over and smiled drily when she saw B.Rabbit drinking. “Even though I got a visa for so reason, you guys don’t have one… Most of the people here had been sucked into the apple tree, I’m not sure how we’re going to find a Consular Officer.”
Her voice wasn’t particularly loud, but montarily attracted the attention of the rest. Even Snow and the others who were discussing softly stopped and looked over.
Considering the current tis, do you think any Consular Officer would survive?” Bai Xiaoke couldn’t help sighing. “We have been here for two months and we didn’t see a single person.”
Qian Zhengguan listened to them with a blank expression and even spat out a bit of noodle.
“Who gave you that visa?” B.Rabbit imdiately asked the most important question, “Is that person still around?”
Lin Sanjiu shook her head. When she thought of Nüwa, she recalled how she imitated that woman’s thought process. She reminded herself to find ti to return to her [School of Higher Consciousness] as she didn’t hear everything that Mrs. Manas wanted to say.”
“I guess we don’t have a choice,” Xueqin added worriedly. After thinking about it for so ti, she consoled Lin Sanjiu, “I think you should just use your visa and head to that world. As for us… we might et each other again in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, right?”
“Well… actually…” Qian Zhengguan ate a large mouth of noodles so it took a while for him to finish swallowing the food in his mouth. “I…”
B.Rabbit did not hear his faint words at all. He waved his paws and exclaid spiritedly, “That’s right! We can set a eting point! We are all manly people, we don’t have to be together day and night[1]!”
“I don’t think that is the right way to use these words…” Bai Xiaoke imdiately pointed out.
“This is my first ti without a visa, I feel a little scared…”
“I wonder when will be the next ti we will et again.”
While everyone started discussing, Qian Zhengguan realized that no one was listening to him. He finally raised his voice and it startled everyone, “Hey! Listen to ! Didn’t you realize sothing?”
Eight pairs of curious eyes turned to him.
“My God. It is quite worrying to witness your stupidity…” Qian Zhengguan scratched his head, “Can’t you guys associate my na with sothing[2]?”
The crowd looked at him for a few seconds trying to process his words. Soone suddenly gasped, “Huh?!”
“Qian Zhengguan, you are a Consular Officer?”
“Are you really a Consular Officer? And that is your real na?”
“To pair your na and that ability, isn’t this a little too convenient?”
This blew them all away. They all started to discuss the extraordinary turn of events. Qian Zhengguan suddenly beca the center of attention and felt uncomfortable. He answered a few of them timidly and approached Lin Sanjiu subconsciously, hoping to get so peace.
“We have looked far and wide for you, yet you’ve been hiding in plain sight[3],” B.Rabbit shook his head and sighed.
This ti, even Bai Xiaoke had to agree that his choice of words was apt. Everyone took quite so ti to calm themselves. After that, Lin Sanjiu asked urgently, “Isn’t your ability [The Great Reversal Technique]? How could you also be a Consular Officer?”
If she rembered correctly, B.Rabbit once ntioned that Consular Officers usually didn’t have additional abilities, so exchanging visas was the best way to keep themselves alive.
“Cough… Typically, most Consular Officers don’t have a second ability… I guess I am an exception because of my birth na.” Qian Zhengguan had the sa confused look he always had, “Anyway, [The Great Reversal Technique] is my primary ability. My Consular Officer ability is just an auxiliary ability.”
All of them looked at him with opened jaws, their eyes were filled with disbelief.
B.Rabbit was the first to react. He leaped up and said, “Why are you just standing there dumbly? Quick! Look at Xiao Jiu’s visa and give us all a visa to that world!”
Lin Sanjiu took out her visa which showed ‘Destination: Agriculture Farm’ and carefully handed it to Qian Zhengguan. The latter answered B.Rabbit suggestion and looked at her visa with an unreliable expression on his face. While he observed it, he slowly let out a curious tone.
Lin Sanjiu had almost forgotten that this man was skilled at stringing people along. “What’s wrong?” she asked hastily.
“Um, there are two matters.” Qian Zhengguan showed two fingers. He spoke so sluggishly that anyone listening couldn’t help having the urge to punch him a few tis, just to see if they could punch out more words from him. “Firstly… this visa is a ‘naless’ visa.”
“What do you an?”
“Supposedly, when Consular Officer’s ability reach a certain point. That person would be able to issue naless visas… Um, that is to say, anyone can use this visa, not just you.”
Sohow, everyone had the feeling that his eyes were sparkling when he said those words.
“Alright, I can give this visa to you. Anyway, you can’t use your own visas.” Lin Sanjiu made a gesture and made that decision on the spot, “What is the second matter?”
“Well, this…” Qian Zhengguan started mumbling.
“Speak!”
“Uh. Alright… As I have two abilities, my Consular Officer ability isn’t well-developed.”
Everyone’ gaze was fixated on him.
“What do you an by ‘isn’t well-developed’?” Lin Sanjiu questioned him, holding back her anger.
“I can only issue seven visas.” Qian Zhengguan stuttered a bit before he quickly asked, “Would you still give this visa to ?”
