Chapter 961: Chapter 780: Lockdown Area
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but mock in her heart: The elite society sure knows how to play…
Suddenly, a man who had been lying on a nearby device with his eyes closed abruptly opened them, sat up sharply, and yanked the connector off his head while cursing furiously:
“Fuck! How dare they slap in the face!”
“Sir, is sothing wrong?” A staff mber, who had been quietly standing by, hurried over.
The man swore angrily:
“You guys had transferred into the body of a schoolkid who had to take an exam that very sa day!”
The re thought of it made his anger boil over.
The upper, middle, and lower districts all had different ti zones, and the body he was transferred into was located in the lower district, where it was currently midday.
After figuring out where he was, he had planned to explore the place. Just as he was about to go out, a woman ca by and told him to make sure he perford well on an exam at school in the afternoon.
He hadn’t gone through all this trouble just to take a stupid exam!
But he didn’t argue, grabbed his bag, and left to create an illusion of heading to school.
Less than twenty minutes into his stroll, that woman—apparently inford by the teacher through so ans—tracked him down. She didn’t say a word and simply slapped him right across the face.
And then he woke up.
The man ranted and raved for a good while, and Qiao Sang listened with great amusent.
The staff mber tried to calm him down: “Sir, we did inform you beforehand that the transfer targets are random, and no one can guarantee the identity of the body you’ll inhabit.”
“However, if you’d like to limit the regional scope, we can assist with adjustnts.”
The man snorted coldly, “No need.”
With that, he lay back down and reconnected to the device.
Just as he placed the connector on his head, an elderly man with white hair on another device sat up, panting heavily, his face filled with terror.
“Sir, would you like to try again?” The staff mber who had just reassured the other man approached the elderly gentleman and asked.
The white-haired man seed dazed for a long mont before nodding and lying back down.
The staff mber assisted him in reattaching the device.
Qiao Sang, observing everything before her, asked curiously:
“It seems like their soul-transfer experiences haven’t been very pleasant. Why do they keep coming back for more?”
The staff mber responsible for reception smiled and explained:
“Because we have ample data showing that multiple global soul-transfer experiences can enhance the brain domain. Once, a highly influential individual who hadn’t improved his brain domain in over twenty years showed a 0.5% increase after experiencing global soul transfer here. He’s now one of our loyal custors.”
So playing this could actually enhance the brain domain… Upon hearing that, Qiao Sang’s expression turned thoughtful. At once, she understood why those two hadn’t enjoyed their experiences but still chose to continue.
No Beast Tar could resist the temptation of enhancing their brain domain.
Especially the older generation of Beast Tars, who hadn’t seen improvents in ages.
After all, the education she had received growing up always emphasized that brain domains couldn’t be enhanced through external forces. But she had once taken Weir Serum and understood that certain things couldn’t be comprehended without reaching a specific level.
People in those elite circles, holding the reins of political power, social resources, and natural resource distribution, would never let the real treasures trickle down to society at large.
Billet raised an eyebrow: “That big na you ntioned—did their brain domain ever improve again after that instance?”
Research on brain domain enhancent had always been a top priority for major academies. Although he hadn’t personally worked in the field, he knew quite a bit about it. Cases like this were typically one-off situations, where neural stimulation from the initial separation of consciousness led to a temporary effect upon return.
Generally speaking, the older soone was, the more noticeable the stimulation during their first consciousness separation.
If transferring into soone else’s body could truly enhance brain domains, this thod would have been publicly studied and presented long ago.
After all, even the Imperial Beastmaster Academy had conducted related studies.
“That’s beyond what I can say,” the staff mber replied flawlessly.
Then, he turned to Qiao Sang and asked, “Would you like to give it a try?”
Qiao Sang hesitated for a mont, recalling what the other staff mber had ntioned earlier, and asked: “Is it true I can limit the regional scope?”
To be honest, enhancing her brain domain was indeed appealing, but not overwhelmingly so.
Her brain domain had consistently developed quickly, so it had never been much of a concern for her.
However, if she could lock in a specific area, she did happen to have a place she’d been aning to visit.
“Yes,” the staff mber replied. “But the farther away from District 1, the lower the accuracy of the location lock.”
“If I limit the range to this very island, will the positioning be precise?” Qiao Sang asked.
An island? Billet felt a flicker of confusion.
He didn’t understand why Qiao Sang, physically present here, wanted to experience a soul transfer on this sa island.
The staff mber paused montarily before replying tactfully: “In that case, the positioning will indeed be precise, but the number of eligible targets may be limited.”
“I want to transfer to sowhere inside the barrier, near the Energy Pool,” Qiao Sang said.
Billet imdiately understood, his expression turning complex.
The staff mber, initially puzzled, seed to realize sothing and quickly restored his professional deanor. “You needn’t worry. Absorbing energy from the Energy Pool is absolutely gentle and free of side effects. As long as you don’t force absorption when it’s beyond capacity, there won’t be any issues.”
After a brief pause, he added:
“And there are no people or Pet Beasts inside the barrier…”
Qiao Sang interrupted: “Didn’t you say it’s possible to transfer into ordinary animals as well?”
The staff mber froze once more.
Due to custor feedback, he knew that most clients asking to experience soul transfer typically wanted to inhabit human bodies. Those seeking excitent might consider trying it as a Pet Beast. Almost no one opted for ordinary animals.
Or rather, back when they designed the soul-transfer system, they hadn’t even entertained the idea that soone might willingly choose to inhabit a common animal.
But since this young lady proposed it, the staff saw no need to object further.
Under the staff’s guidance, Qiao Sang approached an empty device, lay down, and let them attach the connector following the procedure.
“Xun Xun!”
Just as Qiao Sang was about to close her eyes, little Xun Xun appeared and excitedly raised a paw, announcing its desire to join in.
“Can Pet Beasts participate?” Qiao Sang asked.
“I’m afraid they cannot,” the staff mber apologized with a regretful look.
“Xun Xun…”
Little Xun Xun deflated visibly.
“There are plenty of other fun activities. I’ll take you all once I’m back,” Qiao Sang reassured.
“Xun Xun…”
Little Xun Xun relented.
It had no other choice.
“Yaobao…”
Yaobao looked at its Beast Tar, then at little Xun Xun, doubting there was anything fun about this experience.
“You may close your eyes now,” the staff mber reminded.
Qiao Sang closed her eyes and imdiately felt a wave of dizziness.
When the dizziness subsided, she opened her eyes.
What greeted her was a dense canopy of green leaves.
Through the gaps between the leaves, she glimpsed a familiar figure in the verdant waters of the Energy Pool.
