Chapter 1680 - Here Comes the Little Bat (1/2)

Hao Ren could never understand why a goddess like Raven 12345 was so unreliable…
That aside, the pair of metal rings were quite useful.
According to Raven 12345, they were used to generate remote mass projections, and Hao Ren had actually seen such a thing before. Based on his understanding, the mass projection was a type of remote interactive interface that had an entity, which could transmit senses and interact with the environment. Its essence was a kind of image transmission, but the advanced technology of the Xi Ling Celestials in the field of information operation greatly expanded the “content” of the transmission, making it feel like the real thing. But at the same time, it reduced the interference of information by countless times, and that was one of the key conditions that allowed Rheia to “enter” the Surface World through the Wall of Reality.
Another condition that prevented Rheia from crossing the Wall of Reality was the problem of divinity. That could also be solved by mass projection as the pair of rings Raven 12345 found had information filtering functions.
They could filter out Rheia’s divinity in the process of transmitting the mass projection. This function was not even available in the information link Hao Ren built between the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World. Therefore, it was irreplaceable.
“You have to remind Rheia that when the mass projection is activated, it’ll feel likes she’s doing two things at once. It’ll feel like a sudden onset of schizophrenia, and she has to adapt as well as figure out exactly which one her real identity is. It’s hard to master for those who haven’t been exposed to it.” Raven 12345 went back into nagging mode. “While it allows Rheia to ‘enter’ the Surface World as a mass projection, there are limitations. First of all, her mass projection can only be limited to activities near the bracelet. Second, they can’t be connected for more than six hours at a time. They must be allowed to cool down for at least six hours to give the Wall of Reality time to recover, and… you better keep them out of anyone’s reach, especially those sprites you mentioned.”
Hao Ren nodded. “No problem, but the schizophrenia… It sounds uncomfortable. Can Rheia get used to it?”
Raven 12345 waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry. The goddess of creation has experience with this.”
Hao Ren thought that they were two different things, but he had confidence in a god’s mental strength. Even if it was a little uncomfortable at first, Rheia would be able to learn the rules of mass projection very quickly, so there were no further questions from him.
Hao Ren wanted to hand over the little device to the goddess of creation as soon as possible, but thinking about his treasured toy, he decided to go home first.
“…I wonder if the silly cat has destroyed my PSP…” Hao Ren said worriedly before he stepped into the teleportation beam. “That silly cat always digs out what I hide, then she destroys them…”
“Don’t worry, Rollie’s actually quite sensible nowadays. She won’t just damage things as she likes,” Vivian comforted him as they stepped into the beam.
The moment they entered the house, Hao Ren noticed that the catgirl was placing an old photo of his on the tea table, with his PSP and a pack of snacks in front of his photo.
After placing them on the table, the catgirl began to bow before the photo, mumbling something as she did so…
“What are you doing, Rollie?” Hao Ren asked, standing behind the catgirl.
It startled the catgirl. She turned her head and stared at Hao Ren for a few seconds, then she carefully circled him while she sniffed him out.
“What are you…” Hao Ren was even more confused.
The catgirl retreated before Hao Ren could finish his words but she did not seem terrified anymore. Instead, she looked excited, jumping up and down while yelling, “I just cast a spell to revive our landlord!”
Hao Ren felt like he was about to go crazy. He turned to look at Vivian and asked, “I can’t understand what this cat is doing! At least one of us is crazy, right?”
Vivian appeared confused too. “… Maybe Rollie saw us suddenly appear and disappear again earlier, and that gave her a big fright?”
At that moment, Nangong Sanba and Wuyue came out of the kitchen in aprons. “Oh, it’s you. I was wondering why Rollie suddenly got so excited…” said Nangong Sanba.
Hao Ren pressed the catgirl’s head, then walked to the sofa and said, “She must have eaten something wrong. Take her to brush her teeth before dinner.”
