"Welcome, how may I help you?"
Noita took two timid steps back, as if afraid of the entity suddenly approaching. She whispered, "I want to install a synesthesia beacon. How much does it cost?"
“We can provide guests with synesthesia beacons free of charge as long as they agree to the user agreement.”
"What is the User Agreement?"
"There are regulations and restrictions regarding the Awareness Beacon. For example, you can't use it to spread anti-human cults or other heretical ideas, and you can't publish information that violates public order and good morals..."
The psychic entity spoke the user agreement in a long, difficult seven-minute sentence, and Noita nodded and agreed nonchalantly, obviously not listening.
She already knew the Synesthesia Association's user agreement very well. It was similar to the user agreement on her previous company's software, with disclaimers and other things. The long and difficult sentences were intended to make people unable to hear the provisions in the agreement about the collection of user information and other matters that might cause people to refuse.
Upon hearing that Noita agreed to the agreement, the psychic entity gave Noita a prismatic crystal the size of a little fingernail.
Noita took the crystal and set it on her forehead.
Log popup options.
[Extra psychic frame discovered, is it compatible? ]
"agree."
When the log was expanded, a small area of adjustable content appeared in the corner, which could display what Noita wanted to say. However, there was no one to chat with, so the text could not be sent.
After setting the ID to [Witch], Noita said goodbye to the staff.
On her way to another public gathering place, Noita attempted to uninstall the synesthesia beacon. Choosing the uninstall option caused the beacon to detach from her body and transform back into a crystal. She repeatedly installed and uninstalled the synesthesia beacon like a toy, until she grew bored and stopped the pointless process.
Of course, the main reason was that she had arrived at her destination: the Adventurer's Guild, a large organization spread across the world and dedicated to exploring Gaia.
It was originally just an exploration organization formed by like-minded adventurers. In the three centuries since its establishment, its prestige, functions and power have grown day by day. Now it has become a complex platform involving industries such as medicine, agriculture, armed hiring, and commission agency, which can affect the livelihoods of thousands of adventurers.
Noita came to the taskbar, and the taskbar sent an access request to the synesthesia beacon. After agreeing, hundreds of commissions were launched. Noita pretended to be busy sorting out the tasks, inputting various screening adjectives, and finally located the commission in the category of Dark Moon Land, low-level, and literary issues.
She searched left and right and finally found an inconspicuous entry in the pinned column.
[Question: Is there a solution to fate?] [Asked by: Thrush] (Note: There is no limit to the form of answer or the number of answers. Answers that satisfy the client will receive a reward. This commission is valid forever.)
Neuta thought for a while and wrote a fairy tale "The Little Prince and the Four Fates", which tells the story of an ancient hero who defeated the magical dog, magical crow, magical eagle and magical snake with the help of his companions, lover, parents and his noble self.
This story is widely circulated on Gaia and has many variations.
Noita pondered for a moment and added a note: "Legend has it that the gods weave the destinies of all beings, but they haven't completed the framework of fate. Therefore, human destiny hangs in the balance, with infinite possibilities. I've read that there is a spell in the world that can lock an individual's fate, forcing the victim to fall into a waterfall of destruction without escape. However, the idea of a predetermined fate has always been nonsense, because the dream is that fate will not come until the gods have made their decision. The fate of mankind and the world is ambiguous, and spells that lock individual fates are flawed due to the incompleteness of fate."
The annotation stops abruptly and there is nothing below.
Noita did it on purpose.
After sending the fairy tale and annotations to the client, Noita left the Adventurer's Guild and her next destination was the Society of Reason.
The public database of the Society of Reasoning took the form of a large library, with an interior like a giant tower. Countless bookshelves were embedded in the inner walls of the tower, arranged in a spiral upward like the scales of a snake.
Clean and simple, with nothing else except books and bookshelves.
Noita walked to the bookshelf closest to her. On the spines of the books on the shelf were written words such as "Eighteen Kinds of Cooking Skills", but as Noita stretched out her hand, the words on the spines changed, and finally froze into a row of golden elven words.
"Learn to Dominate Others"
Ye Ge was right about one thing. The public library of the Society of Reason was indeed connected to the path of spiritual glory. As long as the visitors were rational enough, their desires were loud, and their goals were clear, it would give them a clear response - a book or knowledge that was exactly what they needed.
The pursuit of knowledge, knowledge and rationality are the elements of the spiritual path.
Noita wanted to acquire the skills to control others, so the Great Library gave her the knowledge to manipulate others.
Noita pulled out the book and took a closer look before the diary popped up.
[Detected the key knowledge of the psychic skill "Incitement Heart". This skill is suitable for you. Do you want to learn it? (Requires 3000 experience points)]
Without hesitation, Noita chose to study.
[Learned the Heart of Incitement, current skill level is 1. ]
[Remaining Experience: 9900]
The knowledge from the books flowed back into the little girl's mind, making her understand the key to this skill.
Humans are creatures influenced by both hormones and psychic powers, both of which can manipulate human emotions. The art of emotional manipulation is to teach people how to mix and use inflammatory hormones or psychic hormones so that they can take effect quickly and manipulate the behavior of others.
This skill is really easy to use for ordinary people without making any noise, and it is more effective than magic when used on a large scale.
In the past, some netizens joked that this skill was suitable for use in beer halls, and Noita agreed with it.
Noita closed her eyes and sorted out the knowledge points, and soon found out why the log said that this skill was suitable for her.
She has a perfect physique and is a small biological processing factory. She can independently synthesize the corresponding hormones in her body without spending money to build the corresponding workshop.
They are truly a match made in heaven.
Noita hummed a song and left the virtual world.
It was dark and still early in the morning, so she fell into a deep sleep, using the sleep she needed to recover her spiritual energy.
Chapter 15 Followers
Dawn arrived, and Noita woke up when the first light illuminated the sky. She sensed the state of her psychic power and confirmed that several hours of sleep had restored her psychic power to its full state.
The journal records her adventures in Gate City, and Noita reviews the records to confirm that there are no flaws in her disguise.
She was planning a series of high-risk, high-reward missions, but the protagonist of the mission was extremely vigilant and hid behind the gate city, refusing to reveal his true face. This forced Noita to disguise herself as a newcomer with only limited knowledge to lower the person's vigilance, and actively arouse her interest, giving the other party the illusion that everything was under control.
In the restaurant, Adele prepared breakfast early and waited for Noita to sit down.
At breakfast time, Adele made up her mind and said, "Madam, I want to follow you to study."
Noita didn't explicitly refuse. She asked, "Why? We just met last night and we're not familiar with each other, and you want to learn from me? What would you do if I were a bad person?"
"I don't think you're a bad person."
“Intuition is not accurate.”
Noita snapped her fingers, and Adele's heart began to beat fast. Fear took root in her heart, making her breathing unstable and clutching her collar tightly.
There was another snap of the fingers, and for some reason the sense of security they felt immediately dispelled the sudden fear, making Adele gasp as if she had been saved.
"Look, it only takes a few tricks to manipulate your emotions. Fear and peace of mind are just a matter of seconds. Intuition is not trustworthy. So, let's go back to the original question. Why do you want to be my follower?"
Adele clutched her chest and bit her lip.
She realized that Noita wanted her to reveal the reasons that had driven her to this unwise act.
Do you know the reason?
Of course I know.
Desire is so strong that it can be touched and burned into the mind just by being still.
"I want power. The power of peace of mind, the power to dominate others. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by strange noises. I don't want the potted plants I've been raising to suddenly wither. I don't want to wake up to more threats in my house."
Adele suppressed her anger and said: "I will destroy those who want to destroy me, no matter what."
Adele looks good even when she's speaking in a bad tone. She has a charming demeanor that makes people automatically ignore or reduce the danger in her words.
Looking at Adele, Noita suddenly remembered an introduction to the descendants of gods.
The descendants of gods are always "the people you least suspect", and the evil descendants of gods use the beautiful halo given to them by the world to deeply hide their corrupt side.
She really is quite pretty. No wonder she had such a smooth career in her previous life.
Noita was very satisfied and extended her hand to Adele: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Noita."
"Under my guidance, you will realize this desire."
The key to generating power is desire.
And Adele already knew what she desired at this moment.
She longed for reassurance.
The past days made her feel more uneasy than ever before. She didn't want to go through that time again and wanted to make everyone who disturbed her peaceful life pay the price.
But she was still confused and didn't know how to become stronger.
Adele came from a wealthy family, otherwise she wouldn't have been blackmailed by the Qajar Brotherhood. Her parents could afford the high cost of her education, spending heavily on hiring renowned private tutors to cultivate her character and teach her academics, politics, science, and other subjects.
These are all prerequisite subjects for a mage. Adele's parents obviously hope that she can trigger the resonance of the light and embark on the path of spiritual light.
However, things happen unexpectedly, and her parents lost contact with her due to an accident. Although she had laid a good foundation at this time, she was not yet at the level that could resonate with the path of Hui Deng - her desire for knowledge was not strong enough, and she lacked the thirst for knowledge.
Therefore, she needs a guide to lead her on the path.
This is why Adele asked Neuta to teach her. As for why she chose Neuta, Adele herself couldn't explain it clearly. In the end, she could only attribute it to intuition.
The two men shook hands.
When Adele held Noita's hand, the heavy sense of security that rose in her heart made her sure that she had made the right choice.
It's Noita.
[A mortal bows to you and serves you]
【Follower: Adele】
[Adele believes that you can bring her satisfaction and strength. If you cannot satisfy her, she may abandon you, but at this moment, you can use her with confidence.
Adele will provide you with 1 to 7 experience points every day. 】
Noita glimpsed the log pop-up.
Followers in the game are seen as extensions of the player, providing combat experience and mission experience, but there is no such thing as being able to gain experience by simply idling and doing nothing.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Poor Adele didn't know that her emotional changes were all under the control of Noita.
The incitement began to bear fruit, and Adele's emotions, which were like a roller coaster, were influenced by the incitement.
Noita has already talked about her ability to manipulate emotions, but it seems that Adele doesn't care about it. She even wants to learn this trick, and her mood becomes even more excited.
Things became much simpler after that. Neuta took out a few unfinished math and science textbooks from Adele's library and let Adele study on her own.
She left Adele's house and went to the ghost villa to check on the flea situation.
Noita was puzzled after not receiving any experience point confrontation prompts for a whole day and night. Could it be that fleas were not important and the powerful people did not care about his disappearance at all?
When she arrived at the ghost villa, Noita observed the deserted courtyard with caution, but found no signs that anyone had been there. She walked to the door of the room where the fleas were imprisoned and listened carefully. The room was as quiet as a mine, without any movement. The location in the log showed that the fleas were still in the room.
She broke the lock and went in. A foul odor hit her nose, and she saw a dying person curled up at the door like a maggot. There were bloodstains on the ground, walls, and table corners.
He had a head injury, and the dried blood mixed with hair and dust, forming an unrecognizable dirty dark red. There was no doubt that he was the source of the blood.
"What happened?" Noita didn't understand what happened to the fleas. The doors and windows were intact, and no one could invade and harm the fleas.
The flea was awakened by the sound of the door opening. He was barely breathing and begged for mercy: "If you win, kill me and I will tell you all the information."
Noita avoided his touch and repeatedly asked what happened while she was away, and the flea finally told the truth in pain.
He couldn't stand the withdrawal symptoms.
Last night he had his addiction back, but he was tied up and had almost no way to relieve it. He could only madly hit the walls, tables and other hard objects, trying to cover up the pain with pain, but it was no use. The severe pain could not stop the symptoms from spreading.
He even tried to lick the flowing blood, licking the blood and ashes back into his stomach, trying to absorb the trace of the urinary leaf component that overflowed from his body from the blood to gain a sense of comfort.
But the effect was weak. Instead, when he recalled it after enduring that painful time, he felt even more painful and ashamed. He was like a dying old dog, as ugly as a despised goblin.
Pitiful.
He used to be such an intelligent man, able to remember all his customers and talk about various events in a clear and logical manner. However, because of smoking marijuana, his nerves were destroyed and numb overnight. He was in such a miserable state that it was heartbreaking.
Noita had no mercy. She said, "Tell me the information you have, and I will give you pleasure."
"I've backed up the important black material and stored it in an unnamed account at Rock Bank..."
The flea detailed the storage locations of all the information, including banks, holes in the wild, safes in the study, etc. They were hidden in scattered and disorderly places, making it almost impossible to find them except by memorizing and relying on luck.
However, his hiding was not perfect, as he did not take any precautions against the prophecy spell.
Because drug addicts are not trustworthy, Noita asked several more questions and compared them one by one. After confirming that they were generally trustworthy, she decided to give the flea the death it wanted.
Before granting him liberation, Noita thought of something and asked, "How did you get contaminated with the drowning leaf and where did you buy it from?"
"..." The flea curled up on the ground in a daze, his pupils dilated. Noita thought he was going to die. After a moment, she heard him say, "I don't remember much. I just remember that it was at an ordinary dinner party and someone mixed drooping leaves into wine for me. Drooping leaves are sold on the black market and in most chaotic areas. I heard that there are shops on Oriole Avenue that sell more mature drooping leaf compounds, and there are many channels to buy it."
Noita frowned slightly: "The climate of Dark Moon Land should not be suitable for the large-scale growth of Drowning Leaves."
And with his memory, he shouldn't have forgotten who handed him the wine.
