Chapter 107: Chapter 107: We Are Sure That He Is A Reborn!

“The Heaven Switch…” Ren Suo said as he looked at the game console on the web page. He shook his head.

Shortly after he purchased a new controller, a sudden thought arose in his mind—what if he could control the fingers of the in-game characters using the game controller? Would that mean that he could control the characters to write words in the game?

However, at the very best, game consoles that were sold in the market only had accelerometers which allowed the user to control the actions of the characters in the game through moving the controller accordingly, such as to punch or dance. They were not capable of mimicking the fine and minute actions of the fingers.

Games that required finger control would generally be a tablet or mobile phone games, allowing the player to swipe on the screen accordingly with the fingers. Fruit Ninja was an example of such a game.

It appeared that, for the time being, Ren Suo could only control the human-form pangolin to communicate with the personnel of the “Endangered Elves Protection Division” of the Countermeasure Division with its fist.

Ren Suo had to acknowledge that controlling the finer, more detailed movements of the pangolin’s fingers was not possible at present unless glove-like controllers and accessories of game consoles emerged on the market, which would then allow the player to control the minute movements of in-game characters, including their individual finger movements.

What about customizing such a pair of gloves?

Ren Suo thought about it and immediately shook his head to dismiss the idea—even if he had the money to customize it, it would take years to design and create such.

Furthermore, producing such a pair of gaming gloves was not only a matter of money. To produce such a new product, he would need workers and a factory, as well as specialized personnel like engineers, designers, and programmers. He had to establish a company to do so.

If Ren Suo had so much time and money, why would he not invest in holographic virtual reality technology instead?

By doing so, there was even a possibility of him traveling through dimensions into that of the game’s, and the character would not just be able to move both its hands, but also wag its tail.

“The operations of the game are limited by the technology of today… If only the nation diverted some of its concentration on Reiki technologies to developing virtual holographic technologies instead…” Ren Suo said.

Ren Suo could not help but dream of that possibility. Holographic virtual reality technology was limited by the constraints of biotechnology and information technology, as well as the lack of brain wave analysis and informatization of the soul.

Those problems are challenges of formal technological research at present. However, if a high-dimensional “force” like Reiki could be transformed into a variable of any form of energy, that could bring about developments in holographic virtual reality technology.

“If I can guide the nation towards development in this area…” Ren Suo thought.

Ren Suo silently remembered that point, but it was just a passing thought, and he would have to wait for opportunities in the future to do that.

He closed the shopping webpage and opened up a webpage of the most famous landmarks of the world, noting down a list of possible monuments and natural landscapes which could be Reiki Treasures.

Ren Suo had been able to quickly identify the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation as it would be bursting with a red aura every morning due to the flag-raising ceremony. However, the Reiki Treasures of other countries might not be as easily identifiable, and Ren Suo had to make contact with the different possible sites to find out if it was a Reiki Treasure.

“… But, speaking of this country, this should be its most famous one, no?” Ren Suo said.

Very quickly, Ren Suo locked in on his target. Foreigners spoke of the Great Wall and the Volcano of Legacies as the most famous landmarks of Xuan Nation, of which the Volcano of Legacies was a Reiki Treasure. Similarly, the Reiki Treasures of another country would definitely be one of the renowned cultural landmarks of that country.

“You have received a must-read message.”

A message suddenly popped out on the bottom right corner of his laptop screen. Ren Suo was taken aback—what kind of junk advertisement was that?

He had not installed any antivirus software!

Computer viruses in recent years would appear after installing antivirus software in the form of “Your XX antivirus has detected dangerous programs in your computer and has automatically removed the dangerous programs”…

On the contrary, that notification message was written in white over a black background and appeared from the bottom right corner of the screen. There was actually no “X” button and Ren Suo had no idea how to dismiss the notification, leaving him with no choice but to click on it.

The webpage automatically opened the internal intranet forum on “Extraordinary Phenomena” and navigated to a pinned and highlighted post with the title in red font: “Investigation Report on Zhao Zili”.

Ren Suo was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that the intranet had such automatic navigation capabilities, and how the intranet page could send a notification to his computer.

Fortunately, Ren Suo had properly differentiated the use of his desktop computer and his laptop. He would usually research and play games on his desktop computer while reserving his laptop for recording information about the Mini Worlds Gaming Console. Otherwise, the Mini Worlds Gaming Console could well have been found out by the intranet service.

The “Investigation Report on Zhao Zili” post had detailed the entire background of Zhao Zili.

Zhao Zili was born on 9 June 1985 in Jiushui Village, Sanyuan City, Lian Province. All of her immediate relatives have passed away. She graduated from Sanyuan Number 9 Junior High School with below-average results. Upon graduation, she worked as a specialized production line worker in an electronics factory until 2005. After which, she worked casual jobs as her livelihood.

Zhao Zili has three separate records of theft, but as the amount involved did not meet the criteria for a charge, she was detained for 15 days on each account.

In 2012, when Zhao Zili was arrested for robbery, she was found to have diabetes and used illegal drugs. She was sent to the drug rehabilitation center for treatment but continued illegal drug use after release.

One month ago, Zhao Zili was involved in a fight and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. She lost consciousness after emergency treatment and received minimum viable treatment for 14 days at the hospital. She was pronounced dead at 13:14 hours on the 1st of May.

On May 3, Zhao Zili entered the Survival Battle Training of the Master of the Holy Light, the Heart of Everlasting Warmth, and the Ruler of the Wind, Rain, and Snow.

On May 7, Zhao Zili was made known in the video from ‘Naisser_Ren’ to be the only winner of the Survival Battle Training.

There are 3 eyewitness reports, as follows.

Li, a trainee who recounted the second stage of the training: “Zhao Zili fought the stage alone. I teamed up with three other trainees, but she seemed to have complete knowledge of our every action. After she eliminated two of my teammates, she used some special method to tell me about the Information of Monsters, and somehow, I managed to remember her entire message very clearly.”

(Remarks: Until he finished reporting the message, Li still remembered the Information of Monsters in full detail.)

Huang, a trainee who recounted the second stage of the training: “After Zhao Zili assisted us in eliminating the black people trainees, she confronted me and told me the Information of Monsters. He then shot me dead with a recovery assault rifle in one bullet (only 1 shot could be taken at 1 time at a short distance). I was hiding behind a rock then, but was shot right in the head the moment I popped my head out slightly.”

(Remarks: Until he finished reporting the message, Huang still remembered the Information of Monsters in full detail.)

Chen, a trainee who recounted the third stage of the training: “I had been hiding among the bushes and could not have been spotted even when looking directly in my direction unless I was moving. But Zhao Zili was standing more than a hundred meters away, on a slope about 200 meters away (the ‘Blaze’ Talent can only provide information of all living objects within a 50-meter radius), and she managed to shoot me directly in the head with one shot of the recovery bullet. I was still in the training but rolled down the slope, so I attempted to reduce my health by eating a fried chicken set.

However, within 8 seconds, Zhao Zili must have run at least 100 meters while releasing the safety pin of the Holy Grenade in advance. She then threw the hand grenade right at where I was hiding.”

There were two comments at the very bottom of the post:

“Click here to learn more about the detailed effects of ‘Talents’, exchange costs and rules for receiving accumulated points.”

“This is an information analysis post. Only logical replies can be added, and replies/likes can only be used once in this thread.”

There were two ways of sorting post replies: one was by the number of likes, and the other was by the time posted. It appeared that the default sorting order for such highlighted posts was by the number of likes.

“Luo”, level 4 researcher: “My conclusion first—it can be confirmed that Zhao Zili must either be a ‘Seer’ or one of the Reborn since he was able to be reborn into his past body from the future!”

Ren Suo was startled upon reading that conclusion.
