White light flickered, the scene was frozen.
Bai Pu found himself in a cosmic starry sky.
Scene after scene, like fast-forwarded fras of a high-speed movie, swiftly passed by.
The roar of the Dead Plague, the oppression of Blood Ring Heavy Hamr Warriors, the heroic posture of the Female Knight...
The scene finally froze on Blood Hand Columbus with black blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, eyes wide open, dying while facing the sky.
[Plane World: Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin]
[Duration: 19 days, 3 hours, 33 minutes, and 07 seconds]
[Era: 17th Century]
[Region: Europe-Baltic Sea]
[Based on your completed tasks and evaluations, you received a Spiritual Points reward: 3496 points.]
[You have cumulatively gained 350 points of world fa in the Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin plane. Your fa level in the Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin plane is C-level: Sowhat Famous.]
[You’ve obtained a C-level title: Eagle Eye.]
[Please maintain and improve your fa level. When you next enter the Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin plane, you will gain additional benefits based on your Spirit Realm Ticket.]
Bai Pu checked the effects of the "Eagle Eye" title.
[Eagle Eye: C-level title. When wearing this title and entering the Spirit Realm Plane, you will gain Reconnaissance Skills to obtain partial information about targets. After using the reconnaissance skill, you must wait a natural day before using it again.]
"Not bad, very practical. If only it could be used in the real world..."
Bai Pu shook his head, casting aside his greedy thoughts. This Eagle Eye title should reward his achievent of locating the command post of the Blood Ring Vanguard Army with just a "glance" in the vast Northlands.
Then, the Spirit Realm Will sent a new notification.
[You have obtained the inherent ability of the Awakened: Datafied Constitution.]
[You have obtained the inherent ability of the Awakened: Spiritual Energy Field. Attacks without spiritual particles cannot cause actual damage to you.]
[You have obtained the inherent ability of the Awakened: Storage Space. The storage space volu is 10 cubic ters, and the length, width, and height can be changed at will, but the volu will not change.]
"Well, Spiritual Energy Field... this is the root of the decline of the state machine’s influence in the early Spiritual Era, the comprehensive retirent of thermal weapons, and individuals gaining extraordinary power, knights using martial arts to break prohibitions..."
However, with the developnt of the Spiritual Era and the establishnt of official awakened forces, the chaos of the early stage had long been ended. Awakened individuals have Spiritual Energy Fields? The state has spiritual combat forces where everyone is awakened, all equipped with standardized equipnt from the Spirit Realm.
Nowadays, even strong Awakened individuals must obediently obey the law in the real world.
In the real world, the governnt can dispatch large numbers of Secret Arrow Shooter units, Crossbowman units at any ti to crush any Awakened who dares to challenge order with absolute nurical advantage.
Only the Spirit Realm is a legal gray area, not under any national governnt jurisdiction. No matter how lawless Awakened individuals are in the Spirit Realm, the law cannot reach them.
Of course, being an Awakened signifies high intelligence, and they wouldn’t be foolish enough to challenge the order of the real world. As long as they respect the law, the state is very favorable to Awakened individuals.
Plus, Awakened individuals are not lacking in money; enjoying life in the real world is much more comfortable than being on the run.
A satellite view map of the real world appeared before Bai Pu’s eyes. The perspective swiftly descended and zood in, and soon the structure diagram of room 3072 in the Superpower Group Hospital appeared before him.
Using the hospital bed as a center point, a huge circle encompassed the Jiangnan Base City, where the Superpower Private Hospital is located, and even other nearby satellite towns.
[You are about to leave the Spirit Realm and return to the Real Plane.]
[You can choose any point within a circle of (100) kiloters as your return anchor point.]
The return anchor point can be freely chosen, which is one of the pieces of information Bai Pu had long checked—of course, you must abide by Huaxia’s Awakened laws and cannot choose private property as the return anchor point; it’s best not to select private places of the opposite sex, like the won’s bathroom, as the anchor point for return, as although it doesn’t violate the law, it would be subject to societal moral condemnation.
Precisely because of this regulation by the Spirit Realm Will, it prompted the Superpower Group to urgently send people into the Spirit Realm to pursue and kill. Otherwise, they could just wait in room 3072 without all the hassle.
"Ti to go back... The good show is just beginning!"
Amidst the flickering starlight, Bai Pu left this starry sky.
...
Jiangnan Base City, Xicheng, dark alley.
A flash of white light, and Bai Pu appeared at the end of the alley.
[You have returned to the real world.]
[Detected that this is your first return to the real world since becoming an Awakened, hereby remind:...]
[Please strive to gain and enhance your fa in the real world. Every three natural months, there will be a roulette draw based on your fa level in the real world. The roulette draw in the real world has a chance to get a Spirit Realm Ticket.]
[Calculating your fa in the real world, please wait...]
Bai Pu remained silent. The importance of fa in the real world in the Spiritual Era’s developnt up to today is well known to everyone.
The monthly roulette draw, which can yield Spiritual Points, Equipnt, Tools, and various other things useful for the Awakened, already attracts many.
Not to ntion, there’s a chance to draw a ticket from the roulette, aning a chance to enter the Spirit Realm! This is sothing that lotteries in other Spirit Realm Planes do not have. Therefore, real-world fa is more important than the fa in most Spirit Realm Planes.
In today’s society, concerning "real-world fa," the Awakened have gone to great lengths. So with good looks and charming personalities beco strears; so proficient in arts debut as celebrities; and a few confident in their strength join the Awakening League...
[Calculation complete. Your real-world fa is 197 points. Current fa level: D (just beginning to show prominence).]
How do I have D-level fa?
Bai Pu was stunned. D-level fa ans being at least a strear with tens of thousands of followers or a secondary or tertiary actor in a significant role in a TV drama or movie.
Growing up in an orphanage, weak and sickly, Bai Pu had few friends and knew only a handful of people, so where does he get D-level fa?
After much contemplation, the only thing likely to have greatly increased his fa in the real world is the Superpower Group.
And it must be infamy!
Possibly, Bai Pu’s na is already registered in the Police Departnt.
"This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If handled correctly, infamy can be transford into good fa. I am naturally at odds with the Superpower Group, and given the significant gap in our current strength, I must strive to gain real-world fa! The higher my fa, the less room the Superpower Group has to act against —eh?"
"I didn’t expect that after getting healthy, my attractiveness would be this high." Bai Pu admired himself for a mont in the window of a military green jeep by the roadside, slightly lost in thought, "Should I consider learning to sing, dance, and rap, and debut as a star?"
No wonder the female natives of the Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin Plane have been warming up to him so quickly. Although his appearance has been adjusted for compatibility in the Spirit Realm, the hidden Charm Value attribute does not decrease; if his original attractiveness was high, the adjusted attractiveness won’t be low either.
The car window suddenly slid down, revealing a lady with tea-colored glasses and tanned skin. Her eyes shot through the top edge of her glasses: "Hey, are you drunk? Roaming around half-naked in the middle of the night, beware of being caught as a pervert and dragged to the Police Departnt!"
Bai Pu didn’t expect soone to be inside the car.
Hearing the words "half-naked," Bai Pu was suddenly shocked, realizing he’s not wearing any clothes at all, save for a barbed iron shoulder guard.
The clothes Qin gave him couldn’t be brought out of the Spirit Realm; the tattered linen clothing he received by default from the Spirit Realm Will disappears upon leaving the Spirit Realm.
Bai Pu entered the Spirit Realm nearly naked, and he returned to the real world almost as naked.
Recently, Bai Pu’s Endurance Attribute has grown too fast, making his perception of external cold and heat less clear; in other words, he doesn’t easily feel cold.
Fortunately, the woman can only see his upper body and hasn’t discovered the embarrassing fact that he’s not wearing pants.
Bai Pu swiftly made a flashing move and fled quickly.
The lady with the tea-colored glasses leaned out from the car window, watching Bai Pu’s quickly disappearing figure, muttering: "Didn’t expect him to be Awakened. Just returned from the Spirit Realm?"
After a slight pause, the lady with the tea-colored glasses added: "...His butt is quite perky, though."
Half an hour later, Bai Pu was walking down the street wearing a set of old clothes. The only piece of equipnt—the iron shoulder guard—had been stored in his storage space.
He was wearing a tracksuit jacket on top and faded jeans below. This was what Bai Pu picked out from a community charity’s old clothing recycling station—where old clothes casually donated by residents are provided to those in need.
Bai Pu really needed them now.
"I might be the most downtrodden Awakened."
Bai Pu mocked himself.
In the real world, he doesn’t want to steal or rob, not because of high moral standards, but because of his self-imposed limits.
In the Spirit Realm, the Awakened can act without constraint, but not adapting in the real world can make it difficult to distinguish between the Spirit Realm and reality—leading to disregard for life, rules, and ultimately a path of no return.
"The influence of the Superpower Group in reality is much greater than in Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin. But in the real world, with set rules and order, success depends on who better utilizes the real world’s ga rules!"
"Now, the Superpower Group may have the upper hand, possibly employing official powers to monitor my account and social connections... I cannot use the balance in my personal account, nor can I appear in my forr community! Otherwise, the Superpower Group will soon lock onto my location."
Bai Pu silently pondered, which is why he didn’t choose to return to Jiangnan Base City, the capital of the Jiangnan Region, upon his return, but instead opted for Xicheng, eighty kiloters away.
In Xicheng, although unfamiliar with the place, Bai Pu’s movents are restricted, but he also thinks that the Superpower Group’s surveillance would be weaker.
"I need to find an ally for support!"
Bai Pu looked up, seeing a large screen in Xicheng Square broadcasting news:
"Welco to Mr. Bladon, General Manager of Byrons Pharmaceuticals Group, visiting Xicheng for a survey. This Byrons delegation will discuss trade cooperation with well-known enterprises like Great Tang Pharmaceuticals, potentially involving several large-scale procurent projects of pharmaceutical raw materials, injecting new vitality into Xicheng’s economic developnt..."
