Chapter 51 (1/2)
Wei Huo felt a little defeated. He was a little unhappy that Lu Qiqi had lied to him, but he was not going to break down!
That blow was insufficient to drive him to the brink of breaking down. As a person who survived being alone for 300 years, nothing could break him down.
It was easy for Wei Huo to be neglected because of that bug-like passive title effect of his causing him to always end up alone.
It was normal for him to be neglected by his teachers and classmates.
Wei Huo always spent time alone at home on weekends when his parents were out working extra shifts.
His long lonely life nurtured his strong resistance towards loneliness and his ability to complete quests on his own.
For example, Wei Huo liked playing instances alone even if it was a six-player instance. If he could not make it through, he would start over again by referring to the guide, or reload cash… Cough.
In short, Wei Huo was the kind of player with high emotional intelligence and resistance to loneliness.
However, he hated white lies.
For example, if someone old at home had passed away, he would be able to bear the news if he was directly told about it. However, if he only found out about it when he excitedly returned home… You are challenging his emotional intelligence on purpose!
That was why Wei Huo was annoyed at Lu Qiqi for lying to him. If Lu Qiqi had not done so, Wei Huo could have arrived at the Southern continent by now.
Nonetheless, Wei Huo eventually stopped being angry at Lu Qiqi. He could not hold grudges against a dead person after all. As long as mankind’s time halt did not end, Wei Huo’s journey would not stop as well.
He planned to travel to the west. Once he arrived at the westmost end of the Western continent, he would build a ship to continue traveling. Since he did not know when the time halt would end, Wei Huo had no choice but to continue traveling and collecting whatever heritage he could from those caves. He also planned to hunt down Rare-ranked creatures and challenge Epic-ranked creatures to test the level of his capabilities.
Wei Huo felt liberated for once. The old him was always waiting on mankind’s time halt to come to an end, but this time he did not plan on waiting anymore. ‘Who cares if the time halt is going to be for another 500 years or a millennium, I will do everything I wish to do.
‘I will enjoy life, travel, hunt, and continue getting stronger!’
Wei Huo had a healthy mindset because he understood all of a sudden that there was no need to care if the time halt was going to end. He had things he wanted to accomplish. Now that he had the power, time, and chance to do so, he should just do it.
As long as he treated those humans shielded in golden light as statues and stopped treating himself as a human but as a part of nature, he would never feel lonely.
He started traveling west. His journey was not only to find caves and hunt the Rare-ranked creatures, it was to enjoy the views and good food along the way as well.
When Wei Huo was traveling west, he encountered a huge rhinoceros. It only sensed Wei Huo’s presence when Wei Huo was right in front of it.
It turned around and ran upon seeing Wei Huo!
A rhinoceros that was seven to eight meters tall ran at the sight of Wei Huo without hesitation. Wei Huo was dumbfounded.
‘Are your senses that sharp?’
Although Wei Huo’s presence could easily be neglected, all the killings combined with the Qi Cultivation he did over the years made his aura even more threatening and powerful than ever. He could emit an invisible force of pressure just by standing there. That was why the rhinoceros immediately ran at the sight of him.
Although Wei Huo had that title, it was still pretty unbelievable for the rhinoceros to not sense his presence even when he was right in front of it.
Wei Huo realized that although the title provided him with a 75% chance of being undetected, it depended on circumstances. No matter how high your chances were of being undetected, if you wore conspicuous clothings, had a strong stench, and a weird hairdo while showing off with a smug look in front of others, you would definitely still get beaten up.
Unless you had a 100% chance of being undetected.
If that was the case, others would never be able to detect your presence no matter what you do.
That was why there was still a chance Wei Huo could be discovered. Moreover, as he became stronger, his title effect might not be able to suppress his presence for much longer.
