Chapter 58 Strange Sequence Names Increased

Although he didn't know much about Silver City, Zhou Mingrui, the Fool, had already sensed its predicament from just a few words from Little Sun. He knew he had made the right bet: the Silver City chief was indeed inclined to test the waters with an unknown, friendly "god."

That way, he won't have to go and fish for the little sun.

As Zhou Mingrui, the Fool, breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Rosen watching him with great interest.

"What are you thinking about?" Fool Zhou Mingrui glanced at him and immediately perked up, since whenever Rosen became interested in something, it often brought some unpredictable consequences.

"I was just wondering when you plan to convert the people of Silver City into believers. You must have already decided to change their plight!" Rosen said with a smile.

To put it simply, the people of Silver City are a group of unfortunate souls struggling to survive in the darkness, living worse lives than some residents of post-apocalyptic wastelands. At least in some post-apocalyptic wastelands, people can at least have a normal meal, but in Silver City, it's different; they don't even have a normal meal.

Given Zhou Mingrui's personality, it's normal for him to want to help such a miserable group of people, especially now that he does have the ability to do so in a certain sense.

Mr. Fool, it is always difficult for you to turn a blind eye to suffering that you can change.

When Zhou Mingrui heard Rosen's words, he was taken aback. He then sighed and said, "I do have plans to help them, but I'm not quite sure how to help them right now. Besides, the people of Silver City probably won't trust an unknown person like me anytime soon."

Although Silver City is already on the edge of a cliff, it is obviously impossible to just get on board any "evil god" you see. At least you have to investigate before making a choice. Otherwise, what if it is a vehicle heading into the abyss? Wouldn't the whole city be doomed even faster?

So it's no wonder that the chief of Silver City in the original story was torn between the Fool and the True Creator; after all, he had the lives of a group of people on his shoulders, so how could he make a choice so easily?

The fool Zhou Mingrui anticipated this situation, so he chose to first send a friendly message through the little sun.

"That's true!" Rosen nodded, not reminding Mr. Fool how to rescue the people of Silver City from the Forsaken Land. After all, it was still early, and the two sides didn't even have the most basic trust. To put it bluntly, even if Mr. Fool directly proclaimed that he could save Silver City, the people of Silver City would most likely not believe him.

Moreover, given Mr. Fool's current situation, even if the people of Silver City were rescued, there would be nowhere to settle them.

"Compared to me, are you buying those materials to advance to Sequence 8?" Fool Zhou Mingrui looked at Rosen with concern, as if he had just realized something.

Mr. Fool was naturally aware that Rosen was taking a special path different from the 22 divine paths, and Rosen did not hide this from him.

"That's right!" Rosen nodded without hesitation and said, "Speaking of which, the path I'm on now, Sequence 8 is called the Seeker. When we advance, let's catch up on our studies together. Over the past few thousand years, the world's mystical knowledge must have been updated a lot. Although the Church of the Night's collection is certainly not as rich as the Church of Knowledge, it laid out the Diviner path long ago. If you study hard, you'll definitely gain a lot."

Rosen glanced at Mr. Fool again, and said with ill intent, "You're not some newbie Extraordinary anymore. You need to catch up on all the knowledge you need to learn, or you'll just become a 'bastard'!"

Fool Zhou Mingrui's expression froze. Although he hadn't experienced it firsthand, he still remembered the catalog that numbered over a thousand. His eyes darted around for a moment, and finally he let out a helpless "Oh."

Even a fool would feel fear when faced with a book that could bury him.

Cotton doll Klein, on the other hand, was somewhat gloating. Although they were the same person, it was still quite interesting to watch his future self suffer.

Rosen glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't be so happy yet. When we get back, you'll have to catch up with me. Herabergen may not be as skilled as the Night in the path of divination, but his knowledge is broad enough and goes straight to the core. Even after thousands of years, it's unlikely to be outdated. Besides, there are many historical secrets about the Second Era that have been lost. We'll have to learn them when we get back."

"oh!"

This time, it was Cotton Doll's turn to be dejected.

The two Zhou students exchanged a glance and both saw the sorrow in each other's eyes.

They weren't actually resistant to learning; they just couldn't bear the immense weight of knowledge.

The key point is weight.

Mr. Fool sighed, then, remembering something, looked curiously at Rosen and asked, "Sequence 9 is called Peter Pan, Sequence 8 is called The Seeker, your path really has no pattern in its naming!"

"Not really, there's actually quite a pattern." Rosen blinked, and as the one who designed the pathway, he unusually reservedly gave an example: "For instance, sequence 7 of this pathway is called 'sports student'."

"Huh?" X2

A question mark slowly appeared above Mr. Fool's head, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a pattern to this?"

"That's right," Rosen explained with a smile. "Think about it this way. If a child wants to become a great person, he first needs to learn a lot of knowledge. After learning knowledge, he naturally needs to strengthen his body." He continued, "When you think about it this way, doesn't it make perfect sense?"

He would never admit that he chose the name "sports student" purely as a joke.

Mr. Fool was silent for a long time, then nodded and clicked his tongue, saying, "You know what, you really shouldn't say..."

It sounds a bit far-fetched now, but it actually makes a lot of sense.

……

In short, Rosen successfully fooled two students, Xiao Zhou. After the three of them left the gray fog, Rosen didn't waste any time and quickly completed the transaction with the hermit, Cattleya, and then prepared the potion for the student on the spot.

The potion for students is an unremarkable black, but colorful words or symbols flash within it from time to time. These words and symbols encompass various languages ​​and formulas, giving people the illusion that drinking it will make them very smart.

Rosen examined the potion for the learner in his hand for a while, and as usual, he performed a divination before drinking it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the potion, Rosen drank it down in one gulp.

It's hard to describe what the potion felt like when it entered his mouth. Rosen just instinctively recalled his school days and those nights spent studying late into the night.

By the time he came to his senses, the Seeker's Potion had become an integral part of his power. Rosen sensed it briefly and immediately understood the abilities the Seeker's Potion had granted him.
