Sambo looked like a money-grubber, just like always.
Bai Zhi finally nodded. "I knew you were up to no good. But whether the train crew is willing to let you hitch a ride is not up to me. It requires the consent of Teacher Himeko and the train conductor."
Although Sangbo is a bit sneaky and does some shady business, he's generally a reliable person.
"Hey, no problem. Old Sambo is best at communicating with people. I guarantee everyone will agree to my request."
Sambo immediately said, a smile returning to his face.
Bai Zhi smiled helplessly and left. She still had to arrange the Robin's concert. Before going to Luofu, she had to get the last reward.
Chapter 626 Enhancement of Talismans
"Mr. Sunday, how is the stage I've prepared?"
In the dream world, Bai Zhi pointed to the stage in front of her, which was even more luxurious than the Pinocchio Theatre, and asked with a smile.
“A truly magnificent stage, Miss Bai Zhi. Your team is incredibly talented; to create such a scene in a dream in such a short time.”
After observing the surroundings on Sunday, he spoke very seriously to Bai Zhi.
It's important to know that Pinocchio was created by generations of dream builders, from the era of watchmakers to the present family era. It took countless human and material resources to build, and even more so, the existence of the Star Core suppressed the waves from the Ocean of Memory.
As for Bai Zhi, not only was the time short and the task heavy, but the final result was even more outrageous.
"After all, we have top-notch dream-making masters."
Bai Zhi smiled and pulled Nasita, who was sitting next to her, closer. "This dream was all thanks to my dear Nasita. She took care of most of the construction work."
Sunday looked at Nasita in amazement and exclaimed sincerely, "This little girl seems to be truly gifted!"
Even the best dream-building students who graduated from the Origami University in Pinocchio aren't this good.
You have to understand, they are professional dust collectors. They have learned so much dust collection experience from their predecessors, so when it comes to building dreams, they are absolutely top-notch in the universe.
"No, Nasita is actually an immortal species, and it's already over 500 years old."
"Uh... then, sister?"
On Sunday, he hesitated for a moment, looking at Nasita's face and pointed ears, and tentatively asked.
"Just call me by my full name, Nasita. No need for 'older sister'."
"Is this really okay?"
I'm a little unsure what to say on Sunday.
"It's alright. Although I'm 500 years old, my experience is actually quite limited. I've gained a lot of growth, memories, and knowledge from being here to help Xiao Baizhi. They are all amazing, containing unimaginable power."
Nasita's large eyes sparkled with wisdom. As a branch of the World Tree and the goddess of wisdom, she was naturally very sensitive to memory and knowledge.
This time, when she used memory matter to construct the entire dream, she read through countless memory bubbles, which were filled with all kinds of joys and sorrows, far more than she had seen in the World Tree.
The more she read through those memories and knowledge, the more insightful she became about these two paths.
“Well… if a person loses all their previous memories, then it can be said that this person is no longer the original ‘person’ in a certain sense. This is because memories constitute the continuity of personal history. Without this continuity, personal identity undergoes a fundamental change.”
"So, if my memories change, am I still me?"
Naxi Da asked Bai Zhi with some confusion.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Ignoring the fact that the Robin's concert had already started, Bai Zhi asked in a low voice.
"When I was reading through those memory bubbles and memory substances, I would always have some flashbacks in my mind for no reason. Judging from the images in those flashbacks, I guessed that it might be the Great Tree King."
"It's as if she's calling to me. The Great Tree King is connected to the World Tree, but I've explored the World Tree for a long time before and haven't found any memories about her."
"But all these things prove that she does exist... And my essence is also a branch of the World Tree. Could it be that the memories of the Great Tree King are actually hidden within my body?"
"If the Great Tree King regains his memories, will I still be myself?"
“You are you, and the Great Tree King is the Great Tree King. You are two different individuals. You are a new existence, not someone’s shadow.”
Bai Zhi patted Naxi Da's head. "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Maybe you'll face a situation where you have to make a choice in the future. When that happens, don't hesitate, just call me and I'll handle it."
"Remember this: the forest cannot remember everything."
The previous Grass God, the Great Tree King, sacrificed himself to eliminate forbidden knowledge that threatened Teyvat. However, due to Teyvat's unique operating mechanism, the Great Tree King, who knew the concept of forbidden knowledge, was also recorded in the ley lines, causing pollution as well.
In the future, Nasita will need to annihilate the last consciousness of the Great Tree King to completely sever the spread and transmission of forbidden knowledge.
In the end, due to the missing information about the Great Tree King, the world automatically corrected itself, and Nasita, from a newly born god, became the result of the first Grass God shrinking due to insufficient power.
But that result was nothing but a sham.
Nasita herself may not have been willing to receive such an outcome without her memories, and she was even less willing for her ancestors to erase all traces of her in order to protect the people of Teyvat.
Therefore, if possible, Bai Zhi wouldn't mind purifying those forbidden knowledge and, incidentally, preserving the consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King.
"Alright, don't worry about that anymore. Look, Miss Robin sings so beautifully. You should listen carefully, and maybe you can even write it down for the people of Sumeru to enjoy together."
"Um……"
Upon hearing this, Naxi Da's mood improved. She believed that Bai Zhi, who had once rescued her from Jing Shan Palace, would definitely have a way to resolve this matter.
"Miss Robin's performance has ended, but besides Miss Robin, there are other equally dazzling cosmic stars, namely Miss Funina, Alicia, and Miss Eden!!"
Amid cheers from the host, the group slowly made their entrance.
To ensure the successful completion of her mission and to make Fufu and her friends more popular than Robin, Bai Zhi made a small, deliberate adjustment.
For example, this concert was not actually a solo concert by Robin. Instead, Robin kicked things off first, and after heating up the atmosphere, he let Fufu, Ellie, and others take the stage.
This ensures that the previous popularity can be maintained and new heights can be reached.
Although there are other simpler ways, such as since she now calls the shots on this planet, she could simply tell her subordinates to reduce or restrict the areas where the live streams are broadcast and achieve the same result.
However, there's no need to do that. She believes in Fufu's 500 years of skill, and she also believes in Ellie and Eden. This combination is not simply one plus one equals two, but one plus one equals ten or even more.
Love, let this sweet dream be buried deep within; farewell is like a profusion of blooming flowers, like our shared memories, both joyful and sorrowful.
Sure enough, as the lyrics began to play and the emotions reached their peak, a system notification popped up immediately.
[Ding, mission complete. Reward: Random talisman upgrade level. Loading...]
Chapter 6273 Level Sheep Talisman
"I'd better give me a dragon talisman..."
Bai Zhi took a deep breath and silently prayed to herself that she had never seen a level four dragon talisman before, and that it would definitely lead to a qualitative breakthrough.
[Sheep Talisman Level +1]
"Grass!"
Bai Zhi almost swore in public.
What she wanted wasn't some sheep charm; which of the charms she currently possessed wasn't more comfortable than the sheep charm?
Adding one more level to the Dragon Talisman would make it level four, not to mention the Horse Talisman. If it were level three, it might even be able to achieve the effect of a level three Tiger Talisman. Even if it couldn't directly remove the curse brought by the Star God like the Demon Yin Body, it could suppress it to the level of a newborn.
Even if it's just the Tiger Talisman, upgrading it to level two would be great.
Bai Zhi complained while trying to calm herself down.
Now that the results are in, what else can we say? We can only accept it for now and see how the Level 3 Sheep Talisman works.
【Sheep Talisman Lv.3: Greatly increases soul strength, allows free soul separation, and prevents the body from being invaded and occupied by other units while the soul is separated from the body.
[Immune to Envoy-level memory reading, soul attack, and the ability to release soul projection]
Seeing these entries, Bai Zhi suddenly felt that the Sheep Talisman wasn't as useless as she had thought. It greatly enhances the strength of the soul, a simple and straightforward numerical value, nothing much to say about it. But the ability that prevents other entities from invading the body after the soul leaves the body is an excellent one.
Immune to memory reading and soul attacks; compared to before, it has been upgraded from below Commander level to Commander level, a standard upgrade.
But the last soul projection...
Bai Zhi activated that skill.
[Soul Projection: Releases the essence projection of the soul, creating a field that greatly enhances the combat power of oneself and friendly units, while weakening enemy units.]
Looking at this introduction, Bai Zhi stroked her chin. Creating a domain to enhance herself and her allies, while also killing enemies, sounded pretty good.
Looking around, Bai Zhi saw that everyone seemed to be engrossed in the concert, so she didn't want to disturb them any longer and disconnected from the dream world, returning to the real world.
Standing in the quiet, fairy-tale-themed garden, Bai Zhi curiously activated the ability that the system called Soul Projection.
Then... Bai Zhi blinked, as if nothing had changed, except that the sun seemed a little more intense.
wrong.
Bai Zhi immediately realized that when the sunlight shone on her, she could feel her power slowly increasing.
Realizing this, Bai Zhi immediately looked up at the sky, where the sun hung high in the sky.
However, if you squint slightly, you can vaguely see that the so-called sun has a pattern resembling a dragon talisman in its center.
At the same time, a strange connection also arose in Bai Zhi's heart.
Sensing that connection, Bai Zhi's consciousness followed it.
A sudden shift in perspective arose, and in the next moment, Bai Zhi felt as if she were suspended in space, radiating light, with this planet, which did not appear very large from her perspective, below her.
Even some spaceships that came for tourism were startled when they saw this celestial body, which looked like a small star, suddenly appear outside the planet.
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then immediately canceled the soul projection.
As expected, the level three talisman was no joke; it summoned something as big as a planet, something she could do even before the level three sheep talisman.
That's right, I'm talking about the God.
However, there is a significant difference between the summoned creatures of the Divine Lord and what one can do on one's own.
Not to mention that the Divine Lord does not have the ability to enhance overall combat power.
Although she had wanted to test the attack capabilities of the soul projection, this was her own planet with so many tourists, so she decided against it.
With the soul projection canceled, the increased power began to slowly dissipate.
This made Bai Zhi feel a little regretful. She wished she could bask in the sun like the Kryptonians to infinitely enhance her abilities.
Even so, she was still quite satisfied. If she had time in the future, she might be able to lead a team of Cloud Riders and use this tactic to participate in the war to exterminate the Abundant Beasts.
"Was something wrong just now? Why did you suddenly disappear?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about some other little things. So, Mei, was the concert good?"
Upon returning to the dream world, Bai Zhi immediately encountered Huang Quan.
"Yeah, it sounds good."
Huang Quan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "It reminds me of the past, back in Izumo, when my friends were just as energetic and had their own talents."
“I understand, but Mei, we’re your friends too. Look at Airi, she likes you a lot, doesn’t she?”
Bai Zhi pointed at Alicia on the stage, and Alicia seemed to sense it and turned her gaze over.
When she saw that it was Bai Zhi and Huang Quan, she sang while making a gesture to them.
Bai Zhi smiled and waved in response.
"Uh... Alicia is a bit too enthusiastic, I can't handle it."
Huang Quan lowered her head slightly. As soon as the other person saw her, they called out "Mei Mei" and asked her if she had any horns on her head.
"I see."
Seeing Huang Quan's appearance, Bai Zhi knew exactly what kind of situation this seemingly aloof, tall girl would face when dealing with someone like Alicia who was obsessed with looks.
Let alone the underworld, even terrible movies received the same treatment before.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't hate her, it's just... I used to have friends like that too. She was great, but in the end, she disappeared into the shadows of nothingness. Alicia always reminds me of those friends."
"It's okay, I understand. There's a saying that goes, 'When someone becomes even slightly like their former self, they start to panic.'"
Bai Zhi reached out and gently stroked Huang Quan's cheek.
"However, people should always look forward and move towards the future, rather than dwelling on the past, which will only lead to more nihilism."
"Alright, let's not talk about these heavy things anymore. Let's go get something to eat after the concert."
Bai Zhi interrupted Huang Quan, who clearly wanted to say more, "How can you know if you can continue down this path if you don't try a new life?"
