Translator: 549690339
Within The Sounds of Sea Pavilion.
Milton Cheney sits cross-legged in the library, eyes tightly shut.
In front of him, several books automatically turn their pages, light radiating faintly from the words within.
Cheney’s spiritual power delicately flips through the pages of the books before him as though guided by a hand.
The additional memories in his mind are gradually integrated by Cheney.
The next moment, Cheney opens his eyes, and each book in front of him flips to its last page before closing.
“Huh-”
He exhales turbidly.
Cheney stood up, digesting the chunks of memory newly-formed in his consciousness.
Having possessed the Book of Truth for nearly a month, Cheney has spent this period in The Sounds of Sea Pavilion.
In reality, Cheney neglected to practice the Meditation Technique, opting instead to acquire as much knowledge as possible.
Of course, another reason was that the progress of Cheney’s real-world practice of the Meditation Technique was too slow. Meditating for a short period of time brought little benefit.
It would be a waste to not utilize the External Plugin.
Therefore, Cheney decided to primarily acquire more knowledge in reality.
The Simulator was his main battlefield for improving meditation.
After all, his simulated self never tires; he can meditate for twenty-three hours a day.
The next moment, the Book of Truth was summoned from his Consciousness Sea, floating before him.
The Book of Truth opened and stopped at a certain page.
Suddenly, as though bathed in a field of shooting stars, Cheney’s consciousness was transported into a pale blue space.
In this pale blue space, Cheney was alone.
Bands of flowing light weaved and spread through this space like small snakes, flying indiscriminately in all directions. “Filter level 1 to level 2 missions.”
Thought Cheney.
The next moment, the myriad streaks of light disappeared, leaving behind only a few dozen smaller bands, which continued to dart around the space randomly.
Correct, at this moment, Cheney’s consciousness was situated within the Task Space of the Guardian Sea.
This was where individual members of the Guardian Sea accepted tasks.
Join the Guardian Sea, obtain the Book of Truth, practice the Meditation Technique, and learn limitless knowledge as one pleases.
Of course, this does not come without a cost.
Although it’s not so much of a cost, every Guardian Sea member is expected to take on the Guardian Sea’s tasks.
Within these, some tasks are inordinately complicated.
Tasks that take hundreds, even thousands of years to complete are quite common.
However, as a newcomer to the Guardian Sea, Cheney.
His ‘quota’ is lax; these incredibly complex tasks have little to do with Cheney at the moment.
“Accept task.”
As soon as this notion surfaced in Cheney’s mind.
The dozens of shining bands of light phased by, one of them flying towards Cheney.
The next moment, the pale blue space vanished, and the familiar library appeared before Cheney’s eyes.
The floating Book of Truth in front of him revealed a series of lines on a page.
Cheney’s expression remained unchanged while the floating Book of Truth shifted from lying flat to upright in front of him.
Upon seeing the information on this page of the Book of Truth.
“Lucky. ”
Cheney murmured to himself.
The Book of Truth, floating in front of him, closed and transformed into a beam of blue light, diving back into his Spiritual Sea.
The task-seizing process within the Guardian Sea was random and did not allow for selection.
Whether a task is easy or challenging is left to luck, but once accepted, it must be completed.
Cheney, a level 1 Wizard on the White Wizard Path and Level 2 Blood Wizard on the Bloodline Wizard Path, can only be assigned tasks within the Level 1 to Level 2 range according to Task Space.
“The Mudom Plane, huh?”
Cheney was unfamiliar with the location of the task but the content was not complicated.
Gathering materials was one of the simplest tasks in the Task Space of the Guardian Sea.
Moreover, this task had a long duration, thus providing ample time for Cheney.
With the Book of Truth, he could now leave the Third Rift of the Wizard Realm.
Whether using the Plane Channel to reach other Planes or returning to the Wizard Continent, Cheney was capable of both.
Unfortunatelv, he was onlv a Level 1 Wizard on the White Wizard Path.
Therefore, many functions of the Book of Truth were not yet available to him.
However, even the most basic Book of Truth had a multitude of uses.
Accept tasks, exchange information, teleport.
These were the functions of the Book of Truth that Cheney could utilize.
Cheney would have to continue studying further knowledge in the following period.
Self-study was the most apt method for Cheney to acquire knowledge at the moment. In the initial years after joining the Guardian Sea, most of Cheney’s time was spent on self-study.
After some time, his mentor Bernard would begin instructing him on more advanced topics.
For Cheney, time has always been precious.
At present, there is still a lot of knowledge he can learn within the Guardian
Sea.
However, the opportunity to participate in experiments was still a long way off.
Typically, new members of the Guardian Sea would only gradually begin participating in minor experiments after a hundred years.
Of course, the description of “minor” is from the perspective of the Guardian
Sea.
As for Cheney’s current state, he still cannot access the experiments, deductions, and simulations of the Guardian Sea.
The Guardian Sea was more like a platform provided for him.
Here, even his mentor Bernard wouldn’t continuously supervise Cheney as a babysitter would..
