Chapter 65 - The Creator And The Designer (2/2)
Although Jeremy only felt like he had been in his sea of consciousness for four or five minutes, the time there had actually gone by more than 20 days. That's one of the sea of consciousness or inner world's properties.
Time dilation...
Jeremy was inside his sea of consciousness for only four minutes, but the time had passed 20 days inside. Meanwhile, the outside world time had only passed by 40 seconds.
The feeling of time was felt differently and shifted significantly between the inner world and the outside world.
It was bizarre indeed...
But our space sage, Jeremy, who had stood up against the Gods before, understood the notion very well. So, he didn't question anything about those time-related matters.
After wrapping everything up, including his own thoughts and subsequent actions, Jeremy finally stood up from the cold white ground.
Then he walked back towards the brick house, the very place he had retreated from earlier.
...
Some minutes later...
Jeremy finally arrived at the same place, approximately 100 meters away from the brick house.
He walked towards the house with firm footsteps, creating moderately deep footprints on the soft snow ground.
*Scrunch*
*Scrunch*
Each of his steps created a scrunching sound echoing softly into the cold temperature...
Soon, Jeremy finally arrived before the house's wooden 'door'.
Then...
...
[You have received 5,000 SP for successfully finding the exit]
[Please open and go inside the door to exit this trial]
...
After seeing the notifications about the exit, Jeremy thought inwardly,
'As I've thought, the reason why this trial does not contain any treasure box or herb to be sold in the shop was that the final reward is big enough to cover all that. Not to mention SP received from killing those wolves...'
'Or... the damned cupid is just too lazy to add other features...?'
'Whatever... Nonetheless, my hunch is right once again this time. It never fails me, after all, as there is no one inside the house... but...'
Not opening the door yet, Jeremy raised his head to look at the brick chimney emitting black smoke incessantly...
In consequence, if a particular house had a chimney exuding dark smoke like that, it 'usually' tended to be someone staying inside the said house.
For that was a common sense...
However, whenever Jeremy used his common senses within this normal-difficulty trial, he would be met with some nonsensical rubbishes as feedbacks instead.
At last, after staring at the chimney for some more time, having thought about the nonexistent halfling and alpha wolf, and seeing a medium-sized brick house situated in the middle of nowhere while operating as the 'exit',
Jeremy's handsome face twitched constantly...
'Piece of shit of a cupid. How dare you design a ridiculous and preposterous trial like this. You are shaming and humiliating my Mystery Decipherer title, fucker.'
'Just you wait...'
Upon cursing the damned and lazy cupid 'lightly', Jeremy turned his back towards the house without any hesitation...
As Jeremy had ultimately completed his first priority, which was to find the exit, his second priority was still left to be done.
That was, without a doubt, to gather more SP...
After all, there were still hundreds of wolves waiting to be... let's say 'liquidated' by him; how could Jeremy return into the tutorial chamber and waste this hard-to-come-by opportunity?
Regarding those people within the chamber?
Jeremy couldn't care less about them at all, for his greed had retaken over his mind.
Thus, Jeremy chose a direction to walk in with a spear in hand as always...
'Before that, I should take some good rest, for my body is at the very limits already.'
With those thoughts in mind, Jeremy's black-cloaked figure disappeared from the brick house's vicinity, leaving behind only the lonely house while exuding black smoke from its chimney ceaselessly.
