Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 590: The boy who delivers treasures comes into contact with the protagonist’s Golden Finger_1

After the North River Spacetime Rift completely stabilized, a large number of Summoners with their Heroic Spirits flooded in. The number was substantial. Just the Summoners alone counted up to fifty thousand, nearly a quarter of all Summoners made the trip. This clearly showed its popularity. However, for the Time-Space Base, this number of people was nothing to worry about, particularly after the introduction of intelligent machinery, its capacity was significantly enhanced.

Wang Linchi also called back his Heroic Spirit clone to gather materials in this newly opened Spacetime Rift. The materials he gained were indeed much stronger.

Meanwhile, Bai Xuan was engrossed in rigorous battles. He spent his days going out early and coming back late, but the growth rate of his Heroic Spirit's power was painfully slow. Considering the massive amount of materials needed, it wasn't easy to gather them all within a short period, let alone prepare enough for nine sets. Indeed, he was directly preparing for nine sets. If new Heroic Spirits appeared in the future, he would be able to awaken them to the corresponding level in a short time without falling behind. This was what caused his power to increase at such a terribly slow rate.

Wang Linchi rather admired Bai Xuan's choice. The time spent on such accumulation seemed quite intimidating even to him. Fortunately, thanks to the Simulator System, tasks were issued as if they were free of charge. From the data Wang Linchi had collected, the rewards from the Simulator System were not created from nothing but were plucked from the Spacetime Rift. Essentially, it was the world paying the price. Therefore, the greater the original yield from the Spacetime Rift, the more numerous and higher quality the tasks and rewards would be.

Bai Xuan hadn't noticed this yet. He had something akin to mental conditioning regarding the Simulator System he possessed, causing him to subconsciously overlook certain issues related to it. Otherwise, Bai Xuan would have long since pondered how the rewards from the Simulator System actually came about. Furthermore, he would have wondered why such a powerful tool as the Simulator System chose him, or where it obtained the tremendous power that allowed him to traverse time and space. Had he been more cautious, he might have even suspected he was mere livestock being raised by some supreme power. Why else would he be granted a Golden Finger out of nowhere?

It was precisely because he was constrained by this mental conditioning that his entire mindset was focused on completing tasks to grow stronger. For Bai Xuan, this was no different from being a puppet. However, for the world, this was a good thing. Rapid growth was essential. What could be done if he were to think too much and it affected his growth?

That being said, Bai Xuan should almost be ready to simulate again, Wang Linchi mused, squinting as he estimated the amount of intervention value. The degree of intervention is still insufficient. It seems I need to continue giving him items.

During these days, Wang Linchi had indeed become a gift-giving boy, and Bai Xuan accepted every gift offered. After he received the gifts, the indirect intervention naturally increased quickly but was still far from enough. At present, Wang Linchi was only touching the outskirts of the Simulator System and did not yet have enough intervention ability to enter its core range. If he could truly reach the core, then a part of his consciousness could follow Bai Xuan into the simulation, allowing him to gain further control over the Simulator System's abilities. The reason he made such a huge investment was undoubtedly to analyze all the abilities of the Simulator System, especially its ability to rewrite history.

He also knew Bai Xuan's thoughts—that Bai Xuan believed he was after the secret of how he could summon Unparalleled Quality Spirits every time. Wang Linchi allowed him to assume this, hinting at it occasionally as a cover-up. As long as Bai Xuan was willing to believe his own guess, Wang Linchi wouldn't mind; he even intentionally spread the rumor. This was, of course, to make Bai Xuan believe it. With such a good cover-up, everything he did afterward would become much simpler. If he acted too aggressively, he feared the world's defensive reaction. He hadn't finished 'consuming' yet. If it triggered such a reaction, he feared he would be ejected. Killing the protagonist was indeed easy, but dealing with the world was not so straightforward.

He's back? Just in time to farm some more karma, Wang Linchi thought, noticing Bai Xuan's return from the Spacetime Rift. Bai Xuan's efficiency was even higher than that of Wang Linchi's Heroic Spirit clone. After all, he had multiple Unparalleled Quality Heroic Spirits, making him a formidable force in battle.

Let me think, what should I send this time? Wang Linchi pondered as he got up and began gathering some items.

Before long, Bai Xuan returned.

"Ah, you're back," Wang Linchi said, pushing his way toward Bai Xuan.

Somewhat helplessly, Bai Xuan nodded. "Yes, Boss Wang. Lying in wait for me again, are you?"

"Indeed. Any thoughts on the matter?" Wang Linchi asked bluntly.

"No particular thoughts. And I don't have any secret method for summoning high-quality Heroic Spirits," Bai Xuan replied, just as frankly.

"I see," Wang Linchi said, feigning understanding. Then he murmured, "Such a precious secret naturally requires sufficient sincerity in return."

Hearing these words, Bai Xuan felt even more helpless, but he had no choice. The Heroic Spirits he summoned were all of Unparalleled Quality, a fact that was difficult to handle. Any Heroic Spirit he summoned henceforth was bound to be of Unparalleled Quality, and he wouldn't sacrifice his future over such a trivial matter.

"Boss Wang, how can something like that be true…" Bai Xuan began, feeling troubled by Wang Linchi's persistence. Because of Wang Linchi, many people had indeed begun to believe he possessed some special summoning secret. Quite a few people approached him, wanting to purchase this technique to prepare for their next generation. Most of them were Summoners. They were unlikely to summon another Heroic Spirit because training one anew was too costly; it was better to invest in their offspring.

As for The Immortals, they represented the upper class and knew for certain that no such secret technique existed. Summoning depended on factors like the strength of the Summoner's soul and the compatibility between Summoner and Heroic Spirit. The main difficulty in successfully summoning a Heroic Spirit lay in identifying one that was highly compatible with the Summoner. The higher the compatibility, the lower the summoning difficulty.

In the eyes of the Federation's higher-ups, Bai Xuan's situation was an extremely rare case of high compatibility. In other words, he possessed a unique constitution that couldn't be replicated. They would rather secure a marital alliance to see if the next generation could inherit this special physique. Therefore, Bai Xuan wouldn't experience the cliché of being forcibly separated from a wealthy family's daughter or receiving contemptuous glances after getting involved with one. In fact, those wealthy families were eager for him to have a child with their daughters, hoping to see if this special physique could be inherited. The potential value, if it could be passed down, was immeasurable. That was why everyone was rushing to pair their daughters with Bai Xuan.

Of course, the methods used for this matchmaking were quite subtle. Bai Xuan hadn't realized it yet, nor had the young women being introduced to him. They still believed their encounters were a matter of free romance. Although it seemed elaborate, it was a way to prevent him from developing a rebellious attitude. Wang Linchi had even sent some Clones. Their appearances and personalities were personally crafted by him; the ingrained personality models and physical attributes perfectly matched Bai Xuan's preferences.

"Yes, yes, yes, all those rumors are false," Wang Linchi said smilingly, handing over an item. "I heard that you're lacking..."

"Then I'll accept it. As soon as I find the secret you're looking for, I'll be sure to deliver it to Boss Wang immediately," Bai Xuan replied. He really wanted to refuse, but Wang Linchi was offering too much, so he could only accept. I'm poor; I have no choice, he lamented internally.

"Alright then. Let me know when would be a good time for you to send it over," Wang Linchi urged eagerly.

This is giving me a headache, Bai Xuan thought. I shouldn't have said that. Now he's really pushing his luck.

"I'll let you know when I find it. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now," Bai Xuan said, then hastily departed.

Upon seeing this, Wang Linchi also left without hesitation.

He really is no different from the 'mascot' described in the rumors… Bai Xuan sighed internally. Even if such a secret existed, it shouldn't be discussed so openly in public. Looks like I overestimated him. But this whole situation he's creating is just vexing. Although receiving gifts felt good, the thought of owing someone a favor that he might have to repay later was a constant worry. He wasn't in a simulation now, so there was no way to avoid it in advance. Initially, he had felt quite favorably towards 'Wang Xianyu' for sending him gifts. However, this frequent gift-giving, clearly done with ulterior motives, now made him uncomfortable. Killing him was out of the question, of course. The man was key personnel responsible for maintaining the stability of the North River Base; his death would undoubtedly trigger a federal investigation. Yet, he was as clingy as sticky candy, always hanging around. And to top it off, he was a man!

It would be great if he only sent gifts and didn't try to get close to me, Bai Xuan mused. It was a pleasant thought, but he knew it was impossible.
