Chapter 126 The Myriad Aspects of All Beings - Lu Ren Version
Both inauspicious and auspicious stars represent extraordinary talents.
It's not quite nighttime yet in Yanzhou, so Lu Ren can't feel the influence of the ominous star, but the influence of the auspicious star is very real.
At this moment, he roughly understood what the young lady meant by her intuition that she talked about all the time.
It was a mysterious feeling, about what one should do and what one shouldn't do, and the omens of good or bad fortune corresponding to each choice.
The most basic use is probably to observe people. As he looked at the girls in the room, he felt a connection between himself and them.
To put it in Ga La Ge Mu's words, it seems like he can see things like affection levels and progress in the romance (trustworthiness).
Amazing! This ability is incredible!
With this ability, Lu Ren will no longer be able to talk to other girls, otherwise he might accidentally win them over!
Given this, how much favorability do these girls have? Lu Ren was a little curious and looked at them with his intuition.
He first looked at Lu Youhe, his intuition telling him: "Your favorability is so high, you can do anything to her and she will never really be angry with you. As long as she's around, everyone else can only compete for the title of 'the third most fond of you in the world'."
Lu Ren remained completely unmoved, not seeing any problem, because it was a fact, and he already knew it; he didn't need his "intuition" to remind him.
Sensing someone's gaze, Lu Youhe wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Why are you staring at me? Do you want a drink of water?"
Lu Ren ignored her and looked at Ji Liguang instead.
Intuition told him: Favorability rating 55. Stop secretly looking at Ali's legs and chest, because Ali has already noticed. However, Ali doesn't seem to care. After all, it's just Lu Ren. That's probably what Ali was thinking.
That's complete nonsense. When did he ever secretly watch her? She's just a little brat; he wouldn't even look at her.
Intuition isn't always reliable, the young lady once told him that, and now he understands it a little better.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Lu Ren?" Ali noticed his gaze and looked puzzled.
"It's nothing."
He then looked at Jiang Yueying behind him and intuitively said: "Her favorability is 77. You can try confessing your feelings. Be a little more forceful, and you'll have a 100% chance of success. You can try kissing her. Be a little more forceful, and you'll have a very high chance of success. You can try inviting her to recruit new players. Be a little more forceful, and you'll have a high chance of success. However, whether it's because her favorability is high enough or because she simply can't refuse your request, we don't know yet."
Lu Ren sighed. Xiao Yueying was just like that; she couldn't refuse anyone's requests. But he felt that this girl was a bit dangerous. What if she was targeted by those thugs with ill intentions? It seemed that he should keep a closer eye on this girl.
Noticing that Lu Ren was looking at her, Jiang Yueying didn't pay much attention. However, when she realized that he had been staring at her face for a while, she couldn't help but feel a little pressured.
The rice dumpling spirit became restless and a little nervous: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
They're so cute, like little animals. Lu Ren was about to say something when he realized he had multiple responses to choose from, and his intuition told him what he would say, what the consequences would be, and how much favorability he would gain.
He chuckled to himself, realizing that the chat window had been completely shut down and was now a forgotten corner.
Of course, these were all just his conjectures and not 100% accurate. They were probably based on his understanding of Jiang Yueying, knowing what to say to make her happy, and then giving advice based on his "intuition" and the pros and cons.
So, is this how the young ladies usually interact with them?
"I know what to say to make him happy, and I know what to do to make him more loyal."
It's almost like she's using a system to win him over. If that's the case, how many of the young lady's actions are genuine?
The saying goes that a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Although he knew it was wrong to speculate about the young lady in this way, Lu Ren did feel confused for a moment.
He looked at Shen Yaoxing and suddenly paused.
Shen Yaoxing noticed his gaze, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Youhe also accused him: "He was acting strange just now, staring at us back and forth."
Lu Ren shook his head: "It's nothing, just trying out that intuition that Miss always talks about, to see how it feels to use."
Shen Yaoxing also found it interesting; it was the first time she had seen her ability manifest in someone else. She asked, "So, how do you feel?"
"I haven't figured out the rest yet, but the basic ability is probably to sense the closeness of the relationship with the person in front of me, and how trustworthy they are, right? Is that also true for you, Miss?"
"Me too."
"How much trust does the young lady have in me?"
"Cough, cough!"
Shen Yaoxing visibly hesitated, reluctant to speak, and mumbled, "We're partners, isn't it only natural that I trust you?"
Lu Ren was somewhat confused. "Really?"
"Otherwise what?"
Lu Ren nodded: "Hmm—that's true. We're all partners, so we definitely trust each other."
"That goes without saying."
Shen Yaoxing added, "However, you don't have to completely trust your intuition. As mentioned above, that's just the answer from the stars. You need to make your own judgment."
"Yes, that's right."
The two suddenly fell silent and stopped talking, as if they had something on their minds.
Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Youhe couldn't help but worry. She was a sensitive person, and at this moment she couldn't help but wonder if her brother had used some kind of intuition to sense the young lady's distrust.
Although she felt that the young lady was so good to them, how could she not trust them? But if she really sensed that the young lady was wary, there was nothing she could do. If there really was mind-reading ability, even her parents would probably have hurtful thoughts about her.
However, Lu Youhe was completely wrong. When Lu Ren looked at Shen Yaoxing, his intuition told him this:
You can completely rely on the person in front of you, just as she will always rely on you. Why? It's intuition!
Huh? What is this? It's so cheesy!
Although he had a good relationship with the young lady, how come he didn't know that she was so dependent on him?
Indeed, intuition cannot be trusted 100%; one must have one's own judgment.
However, at that moment, Jiang Yueying pointed to the bottom of the attribute panel, where a new entry had appeared out of nowhere.
"Look, what's this at the very bottom?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked down. The message was at the very end of a list of skills, so no one had noticed it before.
At the very bottom of the new skills acquired a few days ago, "Announcer of Death" and "Banshee Transformation," this new section has been added:
The Divine Mother's Blessing - Oneness of All Beings: Your spirit can infect those who experience intense emotional fluctuations because of you, and project your consciousness into their spirit. The influence on others is determined by the strength of the connection between their fate and yours, as well as the strength of your own inspirational attributes.
"May the Mother Goddess bless you!"
"This is the blessing of the sacred tree for the Rat, what does this mean?"
"Are you saying you're not my brother, but a rat?!"
Upon noticing this small print, the girls turned pale. One second they were by his side, and the next they seemed to have teleported to the opposite side of the room.
Ji Liguang opened his umbrella, protecting Lu Youhe and Shen Yaoxing behind him. The three of them looked at him warily, and Lu Ren was stunned.
"Holy oh! God, Mother Goddess—"
Jiang Yueying, who was behind her, was a beat slower. Only then did she remember to run. She hurriedly tried to run off the bed, but Lu Ren grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.
The little girl was held captive, trembling: "Help, Ali, help me—"
Lu Ren, annoyed, reached out and flicked her forehead. Jiang Yueying let out a cute yelp, making a sound effect of being hit, and squatted down, clutching her forehead.
"Stop fooling around. Miss can tell whether I'm a Rat or not."
Everyone turned to look at Shen Yaoxing, who frowned slightly. "My intuition tells me he is Lu Ren, but why would the blessing of the Divine Mother of the Rat appear on you?"
"I don't know either, I just discovered it myself."
Lu Ren was also completely confused at the moment. He hadn't paid attention when he first woke up, but now that he had experienced it, it really felt like he had learned a new skill.
He felt that he had mastered another mysterious and profound technique.
Emotions, as long as they cause a violent fluctuation in another person's emotions, his mental power can invade that person's mental world and temporarily take over everything about that person—their body, memories, and even their soul.
However, it is different from the abilities of the Rat. The Rat's "All Beings in One Form" is to forcibly invade the spirit of others, and may even erase their will and seize their body and soul.
His ability to perceive all beings is simply to project his spirit into the spiritual world of others. This ability is not about plunder, but about enabling people to understand each other. Of course, if he successfully invades the spiritual world of another, he can still temporarily gain control over the other's body.
However, this ability has a prerequisite: the other person must experience strong emotional fluctuations because of you, and it must be related to your fate.
Just like now, he could sense the emotions of the four people in the room.
At this moment, the one with the greatest emotional fluctuation should be Jiang Yueying.
He held Xiaoyueying in his arms like a dumpling, and at this moment she was filled with a mix of fear, worry, nervousness, shyness, and anticipation—what exactly was this guy expecting?
At this moment, he had a premonition that if he wanted, he could completely take over Jiang Yueying's body.
"Although I don't know why, I do seem to have received the blessing of the Goddess, but it's not quite the same as the one for the Rat. It feels like I have gained a control-type skill related to the inspiration attribute."
Shen Yaoxing, puzzled, asked, "What do you mean?"
"That's about it—"
As Lu Ren said this, Jiang Yueying threw off the thick quilt, jumped out of bed, and walked around the room.
He had only taken a couple of steps when he suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at his arms and legs.
"Hey, hey? My body... just now it was out of control—"
"Because I'm in control now, don't try to take control from me."
"Stop it! What are you doing controlling my body?"
Subsequently, Jiang Yueying discovered that she had lost control of her body again. Well, not exactly lost it, as she could still see and feel, but her body was as if it had been entrusted to someone else and was beyond her control.
Jiang Yueying felt this was too strange, but what was strangest was that she could sense many of Lu Ren's emotions and thoughts at this moment.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand Lu Ren very well, to be able to think from Lu Ren's perspective, and even had a feeling that she herself was Lu Ren—wait! I'm going to become Lu Ren's shape, stop it!
Lu Ren manipulated Jiang Yueying's body as if she had an extra organ, and the original body did not lose consciousness.
"And that's not all—"
Those controlled by the Rat can be forcibly transformed into combat-capable rat-people by burning their souls. Lu Ren cannot do this, but he feels that those controlled by him can do what his original self can do.
He began to try, and everyone saw Jiang Yueying suddenly raise her small hand towards the wall.
"Sludge Cannon"
—
A tiny, fist-sized sludge cannon appeared in the little girl's hand and hit the wall.
Ji Liguang was stunned. "Is that a sludge cannon? Why can Xiaoying release a sludge cannon?"
Jiang Yueying looked at her hands and said, "I can use her body to use my skills. The power is related to the strength of my inspiration attribute. — So this is the world of people who are only 1.4 meters tall? My vision is so low."
"You bad guy! Get out of my body!"
Jiang Yueying was genuinely angry; she had never called Lu Ren a bad guy before.
"Let me investigate further. I feel that this blessing from the Divine Mother suddenly appearing on me is probably related to the disappearance of the Rat."
Ultimately, this ability can be considered a talent in a strict sense, but it is a talent related to mental familiarity.
Lu Ren's consciousness left Jiang Yueying's body and began to explore his own spiritual world.
But he was soon startled. As he explored his mental world, it seemed as if Lu Ren suddenly had a wall made of bookshelves.
He wouldn't have noticed this wall of books unless he was consciously thinking about it, but now that he was trying to recall something, the drawer suddenly appeared.
Lu Ren opened a drawer and saw the life story of a herdsman.
To call it a lifetime is an exaggeration; it's just some emotions, profound memories, and the general outline of his life. If you want to expand on it, you can read more and more in detail, but that would be very mentally taxing for him.
"Wang Keke, a herdsman, wants to raise two more sheep this year so he can propose to Xiaohua from Yanbei Village next year."
"What are you talking about?"
"Kurban's wife passed away three years ago. He has two sons, both of whom work in Yanzhou. He has always hoped that his sons could come back to visit more often."
"Lu, Lu Ren—?"
"Timur, Batur, Anarhan—"
He turned the pages of books, his life a short but brilliant chapter. Like fireflies that lit up and disappeared into the night, the pages of his mind turned, and the fireflies gathered into a long golden river, or like the crackling sparks of a campfire, rising and dancing in the heat.
"Ratmen, they're those ratmen from before—"
The final images of their lives were of them turning into emaciated, disgusting monsters covered in short black hair.
Finally, Lu Ren indeed found it: the Book of Life for the Rat.
However, this book was too thick, a collection of stories about rats from all generations, and he couldn't possibly read it. But just holding it in his hands, he could roughly feel some of the things and emotions that were closest to him.
"So that's how it is—"
He was somewhat dazed; although he couldn't see many things clearly, he vaguely caught a glimpse of something.
"What's wrong?"
The four girls beside him looked at him nervously, while the other three looked at Shen Yaoxing and saw her shake her head, which reassured them.
"I don't know, but the Rat—" Lu Ren said, somewhat dazed, "seems to be dead."
"The rat is dead!"
A Divine Mother Bishop, and the legendary most difficult Divine Mother Bishop to kill, someone even the Burning Sun Realm couldn't kill, how could she just die like that?
"I think I know a little bit about what the Cult of the Holy Mothers is trying to do."
As Lu Ren said this, he coughed twice and said, "Now is not the time to wait for rescue here. I need to stop the Goddess Cult's conspiracy."
