Chapter 117
In the myriad realms, finding a Dragon Heart Fruit is a troublesome task, consuming both time and effort. Yet, Ye Bai has taken on the God Realm's task of locating the treasure of the Paper Man God King. According to the other party, it requires a journey to the Inferno. Compared to the postnatal "Sun Offspring" developed by the Chaos School in the myriad realms, the Inferno tribe, born from magma amidst chaos, can be directly referred to as the "Sun" itself.
When the time comes for Ye Bai to undertake the task, she might just find suitable items for Felix there.
Ye Bai thought of the "Codex of Death" lying in her backpack and felt quite optimistic about it—after all, the God Realm is a treasure trove!
Even if she ultimately finds nothing in the God Realm, the task's requirements have become "non-unique," allowing Ye Bai to consider other solutions.
"Leave it to me; I'll find a way as soon as possible," Ye Bai said as she bid farewell to Lucy.
"Felix, did you hear that? You won't have to suffer anymore—" Lucy, who was taking care of Felix by the bedside, broke into a smile. "Our lord is truly omnipotent!"
The boy, lost in dreams, seemed to have heard Lucy's words, and the frown on his brow relaxed completely...

After leaving the herbalist's shop, Ye Bai sought out the special talents among the newly arrived refugees in her territory, examining their abilities one by one.
This time, there were seven special talents. Perhaps due to the bonus from the title of "Sewing Hall," there were quite a few with tailoring talents—three of them had abilities suited for the profession, and naturally, Ye Bai assigned them all to the high-level tailor shop.
Among the other four, one was skilled in mineral identification, so without further ado, she assigned him to another blacksmith shop. The talents of the remaining three had not been seen before—
The first, named Qin, possessed the talent of "Animal Affinity," which increased animal taming speed by 20%. Ye Bai naturally placed her in the high-level ranch.
Another villager named Lori had the talent of "Versatile," which increased commercial skill proficiency by 15% and enhanced the attractiveness of commercial buildings by 10%. Ye Bai directly assigned him to the Merchant Guild. Although there was currently only one trade route to Meluo City, having Lori on board would increase the frequency of merchants choosing to trade in Baiye Town. Once his proficiency reached the level of a "Trader," he could also gain trade discounts from merchants.
The last special talent was named Polly, a standout among this group, possessing two talents: "Eager Learner" and "Basic Magic Sensitivity."
After the territory level increased, especially with the leap from village to town, the special talents began to show hidden changes. The talents that were initially suitable for cultivating important manufacturing positions started to shift towards higher technologies and schools of thought.
For instance, Polly's "Eager Learner" talent increased the speed of learning various knowledge by 20%, making her suitable for becoming a scholar. Meanwhile, "Basic Magic Sensitivity" was ideal for training as a mage, clearly influenced by the magical tendencies of Meluo City.
Ye Bai arranged for Polly to become a teacher at the territory's general education school—ever since upgrading the school's technology, it became possible to see whether the newly arrived refugees had received any education.
Clearly, possessing the "Eager Learner" talent indicated that Polly had indeed received an education and was fully capable of handling this job.
After arranging the special talents, Ye Bai returned to her mayor's office to log off.
Next, she needed to prepare to address her job change issue. She was eager to see if she could advance to a C-level psychic after her job change at level 40.

Chapter 85
After leaving the myriad realms, Ye Bai opened Aurora's message in her personal space on the Star Network.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in the myriad realms, Ye Bai and Aurora's communication on the Star Network was not real-time; instead, they exchanged messages after logging off, usually with a cycle of 3 to 5 game days.
The last time Ye Bai replied to Aurora, she concocted a brief, cute newbie gaming experience to share—of course, she mentioned being born in a small town far from Sola City in the Juhaixing server.
The timestamp of the messages was recorded in a "calendar" that Ye Bai started from the first game day of her territory's construction, calculated according to the game days of the myriad realms for easier understanding.
After all, Juhaixing is much larger than Blue Star, with different orbital and rotational speeds. A day and a year on Huanhai Star are not 24 hours and 365 days; Aurora lives by "Huanhai Time."
Day 52
"Being born in a small town isn't bad, but it's a pity it's so far from Sola City. Otherwise, I could have taken you along after finishing my work... But according to the guide, you’re not doing too badly. You have no idea how busy we are lately because of that master-level announcement in Baiye Territory; a whole bunch of new research topics have come up!"
Day 55
"Big news! You saw it in the game, right? Baiye Village has upgraded to a level 4 territory, transforming from a village into a town! The best territory on Juhaixing seems to be only level 2!"
"I’m really speechless. Why are people still suggesting replicating equipment from the myriad realms in reality at this stage? The mentor actually approved it, saying we have to try it to know the results, but isn’t that just a waste of time?"
"We now have to take a lot of detailed shots of equipment with attributes and then replicate them in reality using a 3D printer. It’s absurd! What are those people thinking? No matter how much we restore the appearance, reality can’t replicate the complete composition of the materials from the myriad realms!"
Upon reading this, Ye Bai couldn't help but twitch her lips. While it's true that researchers should boldly experiment, the idea of replicating equipment in reality is indeed hard to evaluate...
"This all boils down to the energy weapons that appeared in Baiye Territory. The myriad realms are truly miraculous; they’ve managed to leap from cold weapons to energy weapons in one go. For a normal civilization to achieve this, it would take at least three technological explosions... not to mention the necessary Creation Trees for building territories."
"The topic I proposed recently is about the Creation Tree. I believe it’s a natural super brain; perhaps the Creation Tree has formed a symbiotic relationship with some advanced life form and the people of the myriad realms!"
Ye Bai couldn't help but twitch her lips again. While Aurora's idea makes some sense, finding a Creation Tree in reality is clearly impossible, as its essence is the territory management interface of the lord player...
Interstellar scholars have fallen into a verification trap regarding their research on the myriad realms. They regard the extraordinary knowledge of the three major schools as a higher form of technology, believing it contains principles they do not understand, and they even attempt to replicate game equipment one-to-one in the real world.
What they cannot comprehend must be the achievements of a higher-level civilization. Baiye, which is ahead of other civilizational forces, must be a big player.
Shaking her head, Ye Bai's gaze sharpened as she moved to the next part:
"I just recently completed the job change to a Water Element Mage, so now I can tell you what it feels like to learn magic..."
Previously, driven by her yearning for enhanced psychic abilities and concerns about her career prospects, Ye Bai had inquired about the situation of players' skills after job changes from Aurora.
The skills Ye Bai unlocked in the myriad realms were directly applicable in reality, and as players leveled up, she was curious about how interstellar players fared in learning skills.
Physical professions were manageable, relying on the combination of physical techniques and psychic power, but what about magic?
There wasn't much relevant information available on the Star Network, and the few mentions of magic skills were complaints about how difficult they were to learn, which piqued her curiosity about the specifics. Then she saw Aurora's next complaint:
"Magic is really hard to learn!"
"…But maybe because we, the people of Huanhai Star, initially lived in the ocean, we have genetic memories. When I changed to a Mage, I found I had quite a talent for water element magic."
"For physical professions, skill learning just requires the support of physical techniques and psychic power. However, I suggest that if you have the option, you should consider a magic-based profession. Currently, most research leans towards it being a way to utilize psychic power."
"In the past, our understanding of psychic power was too superficial. It was either based on the awakened talents according to our racial characteristics, which are hard to replicate, or it was just applied to the body, combined with physical techniques in combat. Now, the mainstream players in the myriad realms are choosing magic-based professions to train their psychic power."
Reading this, Ye Bai nodded to herself, aligning with her previous vague guesses. Leveling up characters could enhance psychic power, and learning magic could provide psychic training. It seemed that magic-based professions would likely become a popular choice for future interstellar players.
