Chapter 13 (1/2)

“Mad?” Zhou Bai stroked his chin, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

A moment later, Christina asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Zhou Bai shook his head, “Then what about this Divine Map? Can I increase it?”

Christina said, “Theoretically, you can only practice Divine Maps after your primordial spirit power has reached a certain level. You probably can’t right now.”

“Anyway, just increase primordial spirit power for now, until you can’t anymore. This is called setting a solid foundation, which will make your future practice much easier.”

Zhou Bai gave it a try and found he couldn’t increase it. So he didn’t give it any more thought, after resting for half an hour, he added another 5 points of primordial spirit power.

Instantly, he felt his brain get dizzy again. He decided not to add any more primordial spirit power and just rest for the morning.

“Right, I forgot to ask you yesterday, how did you get that gem? What does it do?” Zhou Bai looked at the white cat in his mind. A gem hung on her neck right now.

It was the gem that Zhou Bai stole from the laboratory yesterday.

Christina began wailing, “After you fell asleep last night, the gem came into your mind by itself. And that was my gem anyway. This gem is much more powerful than your stupid system. It’s the standard of dimension and quality, the balance of the universe, the entanglement of cause and effect– its significance exceeds the sum of anything you’ve seen by far, to the point where it cannot be described by the word ‘significance’….”

“Yeah, whatever,” Zhou Bai’s mouth twitched, “Didn’t you lose your memory? How can you brag so much still?”

“Hmph, the moment I retrieved the stone, I remembered all this.” Christina deducted, “My memory will probably recover, as long as I come into contact with things I’m familiar with.”

Zhou Bai: “So what does this gem actually do?”

Christina: “I don’t know…but it’s very important, super important.”

Zhou Bai dragged Elsa to class in the morning. Halfway there, he saw Alice, who looked very nervous.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both nodded slightly. Their operation yesterday and the moment they witnessed the outside world together made Alice trust Zhou Bai more and more.

Elsa: “What’s wrong, Zhou Bai? Why did you stop walking?”

Alice walked in front of Elsa, rubbing her head, “Good Elsa,” she took out a cookie, “Sit.”

Elsa sat down obediently.

Alice put the cookie on Elsa’s head and said, “Stay here, good Elsa. If the cookie is still on your head when Zhou Bai and I return later, you may eat it.”

Zhou Bai: “…”

Elsa struggled and nodded her head, “Okay.”

Alice pulled Zhou Bai a few steps to the side. She said, “Zhou Bai, Bando is…”

Zhou Bai interrupted Alice, “I know, let’s not talk about this for now. If you trust me, then let us wait a few more days. I think of something by then.”

Although when they left the base and went to the outside world, everything seemed to be the same as Professor Zhuang described.

There were still many suspicious points.

The most suspicious of them all is the fact that there are two Bandos.

There was one in the laboratory and one attending class and living upstairs.

And whether it was due to negligence or some other reason, Professor Zhuang didn’t explain the issue of two Bandos to Alice and Zhou Bai yesterday.

He didn’t even come to ask Zhou Bai about the cat or the gem as if he had something more urgent he was rushing to do.
