Time Traveler Help Hotline

Before leaving, Chen Zhuzhu walked to the door, then suddenly stopped and turned around halfway: "I have one more question, really, the last one..."

She scratched her cheek and whispered, "Actually, I've wanted to ask this for a long time: why are we a 'tailor shop'?"

Ji Mo looked out the window. The sky was perfect, clear and cloudless. But beyond that sky, in a more distant place, lay not the stars and universe as seen by the stargazer, but countless small worlds scattered in the void.

This world has long been broken and desolate, and the small worlds that once nurtured life have become desolate and lifeless places one after another.

"Ah... how should I put it... to use Xiao Jiu's words, it's like 'the world is broken and tattered, so we patch it up'," Ji Mo thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"If you keep giving me that 'I can't believe you're thinking this' look, I'll cancel the contract," Jiu Chonglou said expressionlessly, while his hand, hidden under the sofa, viciously pinched Ji Mo's arm.

Chen Zhuzhu left quickly.

This is a lucrative opportunity that could bring in 10,000 yuan a month; I can't afford to lose it.

The doorbell jingled. After confirming that Chen Zhuzhu was out of sight, Jiu Chonglou yawned, somewhat speechless: "She really has too many questions. Instead of thinking so much, she should go back and read her books. She'd better not become the first probationary employee to be fired for missing deadlines."

"Being cautious isn't a bad thing." Ji Mo agreed with Chen Zhuzhu's caution. "After all, before entering that instance, the extraordinary was just something from novels to her."

Although Ji Mo and Chen Zhuzhu were both among the few local newcomers in the Sanchuan tailor shop, Chen Zhuzhu was clearly more ignorant in terms of her situation and understanding.

Some people are born with abilities comparable to a computer's computing power, able to communicate with animals at will like a druid, and even eavesdrop on others' thoughts...

Ji Mo belongs to this type of person.

In the eyes of others, Ji Mo is an overly calm person who is not easily angered, dislikes verbal arguments, and has no intention of participating in any sports.

A cup of hot goji berry tea, a book, a shady spot—and the perfect backdrop for a contemporary artsy gentleman's photoshoot is set up.

Only a very small number of acquaintances knew that Ji Mo was not good-tempered but poor at sports. On the contrary, his physical strength and reaction speed far exceeded those of ordinary people. So much so that when he was only eight years old, he was aware that something was wrong with him and took the initiative to restrain his sharpness and try to keep his temper calm so as not to be captured and dissected for research.

He can't fight with ordinary people, otherwise, the moment he throws a punch, he'll be kneeling down begging his opponent not to die.

In addition, at that time he also had a childhood sweetheart by his side who would occasionally urge him to save the world and give him a heads-up.

Therefore, when Ji Mo learned that extraordinary powers did indeed exist in this world, he was not particularly surprised.

Thinking of this, Ji Mo also cast a detection spell on himself and checked his panel.

While there is a learnable alternative skill called "Scouting," it is far less convenient than "Observer."

The basic reconnaissance skill can only view basic item information corresponding to the skill level, and the information about people is even more scarce, unless the target is oneself, or the reconnaissance skill level is much higher than the target's.

Unlike Chen Zhuzhu, who dared to risk her brain being burned out at only the second rank to forcibly examine seventh-rank items, she had an even more detailed understanding of items or people below the sixth rank.

Name: Ji Mo

[Level: 6]

[Abilities: Invulnerability (significantly reduces all supernatural influences related to oneself, and greatly reduces all physical damage inflicted on oneself), Ultimate (your five dimensions will rapidly increase regardless of realm limitations)]

【技能：侦查术（LV.3）、真言术（LV.3）、飞行术（LV.1）、体术精通（LV.9）、冷兵器精通（LV.9）】

[Personal Information: Undoubtedly a strange mechanism; even just having numerical values ​​is itself a mechanism.]

Ji Mo's stats haven't changed in a long time. As long as his Reconnaissance, Mantra, and Flight skills are usable, that's fine. He has limited talent in these areas and doesn't plan to waste too much time on them.

Conversely, over at Jiuchonglou...

[Reconnaissance Technique] Failed!

Triggering the target's [Reflection] skill will allow the target to obtain your information!

[Invulnerable to All Laws] is in effect; any rebound judgment is invalid!

Jiu Chonglou lazily raised his eyelids: "Don't peek at other people's panels."

Ji Mo remained silent and continued using his reconnaissance skills, this time succeeding without any obstacles.

Name: Jiu Chonglou

[Level: 6]

[Ability: Absolute Healing]

【技能：侦查术（LV.9）、鍊金术（LV.9）、控火术（LV.9）、控水术（LV.9）、传送（LV.9）、变化术（LV.9）、言灵术（LV.9）、诅咒术（LV.9）（以下内容过多已自动为你摺叠）】

[Status: Pitiful, weak, and helpless (Any damage I inflict cannot exceed Tier 6 strength)]

[Personal Information: No one would spend three years learning reconnaissance skills, only to fail miserably during the reconnaissance itself.]

The only way to confirm the information is for the other party to have a change of heart and lift the restrictions, right? No way, no way (laughs)

Ji Mo stared at the "Personal Information" section. Clearly, this wasn't skill feedback, but rather content personally written by Jiu Chonglou.

The skill gap between the two in information warfare was too great; what Ji Mo could see depended entirely on Jiu Chonglou's mood. She chose to be honest with him, while not forgetting to mercilessly mock this "top student's" rare defeat.

Ji Mo used the same tactic against him: "There can't be a 9th-tier expert whose output is lower than a newbie who just entered the Transcendent realm, right? No way, no way."

This was Jiu Chonglou's only sore spot. She glared at him fiercely, thinking that shouting "You're sick and looking for death" would diminish her momentum, and that calling Ji Mo all brawn and no brain was not true.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ji Mo is a shoo-in for graduating from university. If he hadn't joined the Sanchuan Tailor Shop, with his grades, further studies wouldn't have been a problem.

Although Jiu Chonglou has good learning ability and her knowledge is comparable to that of a doctor in some fields, she did not continue her studies after graduating from junior high school and relied entirely on self-study.

Most people in Sanchuan are like this: they are knowledgeable, but they do not have academic qualifications recognized in modern times.

In terms of modern academic qualifications alone, Chen Zhuzhu could be considered a top student in the organization; but in terms of general knowledge, she was still a novice.

This time, Ji Mo genuinely laughed and asked, "Chen Zhuzhu needs to prepare her script, and I have my final exams next week. Should we put the show on hold for a week?"

"Whatever you want. Anyway, there's nothing urgent to rush around for lately." To confirm the situation, Jiu Chonglou took out his phone to check the time.

"Did the Heavenly Lord of the Beginning of the Year say that?"

It is said that the Sanchuan Tailor Shop has been able to exist peacefully for so many years and maintain a relative balance with the rulers of the mortal realm throughout the ages, which is inseparable from the First Heavenly Lord.

Possessing the power of time, He can always foresee the points of disaster in advance and nip them in the bud with minimal loss.

Ji Mo guessed this possibility when Jiu Chong Lou didn't seem to care much about whether the show aired or not.

From the very beginning, this program was created for specific people or events; the regular broadcasts were merely a cover for the people who actually needed to be saved.

As for who or what the key moment is, that's a question for the Heavenly Lord of Beginning.

"Hmm, you can interpret it that way if you want," Jiu Chonglou replied vaguely. "I'm just a messenger."

Ji Mo gave her a deep look: "The Heavenly Lord is truly... incredibly insightful."
