Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Then you should go find Lord Sangge Mahabai."

"Sang...Sang what?"

“Lord Sanggo Mahabay, also known as Dolly, is a very capable merchant.”

"Couldn't you just say the shorter name? I spent so long trying to remember it and still couldn't."

"She prefers to be called Sangge Mahabai Lao, and maybe she'll even give you a discount if she's in a good mood."

When it comes to discounts, Paimon's brilliant little brain with its super memory immediately comes online.

"Wow! I'll remember that, Lord Sanggo Mahabay!"

"Then how do we find her?"

“Go take a look over Baoshang Street. It’s a girl with pink hair and square glasses.”

After bidding farewell to Ruhavi, Kong and Paimon head to Baoshang Street to find the old man, Sangmahabai.

"How strange, a girl being called 'Master'," Paimon said, craning his neck to look around, full of curiosity about the wealthy merchant.

"Isn't Diluc also called 'Lord'?" Kong asked rhetorically.

“I understand, ‘Master’ is a term of address for wealthy people!” Paimon put his hands on his hips. “From now on, please call me Master Paimon.”

"Master Paimon, do you have any money?"

"Hehe, if you have it, then I have it too."

“Lost travelers, I have heard that you are looking for Lord Sanggomahabai.”

A clear, crisp voice suddenly came from behind them, startling the two of them.

"You...you...when did you appear?"

Dolly adjusted the decorative glasses on her nose, which shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.

“Lord Sangge Mahabayi sensed the business opportunity.”

"You are Lord Sangge Mahabai?"

"Of course, Master Sangmahabai has everything here. What would you like to buy?"

"We want to buy knowledge about canning."

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Dolly quickly made a shushing gesture and pulled them to a secluded corner.

"This is something that is strictly prohibited by the Order of the Church; you can't say it on the street."

"I understand, I understand." Paimon made a zipping motion to indicate that he was tight-lipped.

"Since you're all so understanding, you can choose for yourselves."

A round, purple bag appeared behind Dolly. She rummaged around inside, pulled out a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, then pulled out dozens of cans and arranged them on the ground.

Looking at the identical canned knowledge in front of him, Kong was at a loss.

How do I choose?

"What kind of knowledge is contained in this? How much does it cost?"

"Since this is your first time doing business with me, Lord Sanggomahabai will give you a proper explanation today."

She pointed to the first one and said, "This one contains information about some common plants."

"This is some knowledge about combat."

"This is about knowledge about playing cards..."

"I want this one."

Kong picked up the stored combat knowledge.

"Good taste, sir! This is the most valuable canning knowledge I have here. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you both a discount. The original price was 60 Mora, but now it's only 50 Mora!"

Chapter 697 Memory Pollution

"So expensive!"

Paimon almost said, "You're robbing me."

Fortunately, I controlled my impulse, otherwise the price might not have been this much.

"This is invaluable combat knowledge, the kind of knowledge is very rare. You won't find it again if you miss this opportunity. Buying it for 50 is definitely a good deal!"

"All right……"

Kong paid the money very readily.

He bought the canned goods mainly for the experience, not because he actually needed the knowledge.

How do I use this?

"Just hold it in your hand and connect it to your Void Terminal."

After saying goodbye to the merchant Dolly, Sora returned to the inn and took out the canned knowledge to begin using it.

The canned knowledge in his hand formed an invisible connection with the void. In an instant, he saw the figures of many people fighting, and in the next instant, these fragments became his own distant memories.

Feeling the sudden appearance of these new memories, Kong Xin understood.

The method of disguising canned knowledge as memory is clearly feasible.

He currently retains his memories, so these extra memories won't affect him much. On the contrary, the influx of battle memories slightly enhances his combat abilities.

What he provided to Guram were some scenes and snippets of daily life. These were not coherent and were simply images without any content, so they shouldn't have any impact on Jiang Bai.

However, it cannot be guaranteed that Gulam will only give Jiang Bai the canned knowledge produced here, so we should still be careful.

Unfortunately, this long-distance communication device can only be used once every three days.

Even if you want to send a message to Jiang Bai now, you can only wait three days.

Seeing Kong open his eyes, Paimon looked at him with concern:

"How are you feeling?"

"It's alright. Let's go, let's find out if there's any other way to see the Little Lucky Grass King."

For three days in a row, Gulam took Jiang Bai around the academy whenever he had free time, and even took him to listen to some classes and borrowed some books.

This sense of comfort made Jiang Bai wonder what he was even there for.

However, the more comfortable he felt, the more vigilant he became.

That day, Ghulam finally decided to bring out some real weapons.

"Ah Bai, I've found a way to stimulate your memory. Would you like to try it?"

Looking at Gulam's smiling face, Jiang Bai knew that it was coming.

"Really?" Jiang Bai was overjoyed, but the next second, he hesitated.

"How about I connect to the World Tree first, and then you can help me stimulate my memories... You've been taking care of me these past few days. I've been studying with you at the Order Academy, but I haven't done anything or helped you at all. I feel really bad about it..."

Guram was slightly taken aback, as this was somewhat different from his plan. However, it was a good thing that the person in front of him had taken the initiative to connect to the World Tree.

"Alright then, I'll prepare. I'll teach you meditation first, and you can try to connect to the World Tree."

Gulam went to get the incense, lit it, and began to teach Jiang Bai meditation.

Jiang Bai was like a beginner, learning little by little, and occasionally making mistakes that required Gulam to correct.

About half an hour later, he finally got into the zone and connected to the World Tree.

Gulam looked Jiang Bai up and down, who was in a meditative state, and the void quickly provided information.

[Breathing is steady, heartbeat is steady, consciousness is in a detached state...]

"It seems that it has indeed been connected to the World Tree."

It only took half an hour to learn the meditation method and connect with the World Tree. This physique is really special.

In the past, all those who came into contact with divine knowledge were corrupted and went mad. It is unknown whether he can resist this corruption and give a surprise.

Jiang Bai was already quite relaxed when he returned to this familiar place.

"Great Tree King, are you still there?"

He shouted loudly, but the Great Tree King did not respond.

The ethereal phrase, "The world has forgotten me," still echoes throughout the space.

"I was really lucky to see the Great Tree King last time..."

The Great Tree King has been dead for five hundred years. What we saw before was only a remnant of her consciousness after her death. Even this remnant consciousness was still fighting against the pollution, so it was not easy to see.

He didn't force himself to see Jiang Bai, but instead tried to ask the World Tree if there were any ways to prevent memories from being altered.

There was no response; the World Tree offered no answer.

Jiang Bai simply sat cross-legged under the World Tree, trying to find a way to resist the impending memory alteration and contamination.

The first method he thought of was to give himself positive self-talk.

He knew that Ghulam would focus his attention on a memory that didn't belong to him, so as long as he kept telling himself that these memories didn't belong to him, he wouldn't be affected by them.

Without further ado, Jiang Bai kept giving himself mental pep talks while he was in the undisturbed space of the World Tree.

I disconnected the connection after I felt it was about time.

Jiang Bai felt weak after regaining consciousness.

Each connection with the World Tree consumes a significant amount of mental energy.

Gulam looked at Jiang Bai nervously, "So, have you found out why the World Tree is sick?"

Jiang Bai shook his head, his face pale.

"I heard a sentence that kept echoing in that space."

"Words? Words are echoing in the space of the World Tree?" Guram frowned.

He had also connected with the World Tree, but had never heard anything from it.

Some scholars who went deeper into the source did get to the root of the problem, but they were immediately corrupted and couldn't convey any information at all.

"What kind of words were they?"

"A very ethereal and dreamlike phrase, like a murmur, played on a loop, she said, 'The world has forgotten me'..."

"The world has forgotten me?" Ghulam pondered the question, unable to grasp its meaning for a moment.

Could this sentence have been left by the Great Tree King?

Why did the Great Compassion Tree King leave behind such a statement?

What does this statement actually mean?

This matter is of great importance; it is arguably the only clear clue they have obtained from the World Tree in all these years regarding the world's suffering from disease.

We must inform the Sage immediately.

“You’re not feeling well. Rest here for now. I’ll go and inform the Sage.”

With that, Ghulam closed the door from the outside and hurriedly left.

He was so busy leaving that he didn't notice Gudu had unknowingly slipped into his pocket.

Jiang Bai extinguished the incense, stretched, and lay back down on the bed.

It's unclear how much the Faculty Council will value his words, but if they do, his worth will be significantly increased.

The Council of Teachers will certainly try to find out why the Great Tree King left such a sentence.

To understand this, he could only rely on constantly connecting to the World Tree and accessing the knowledge of the gods.

In this way, he essentially obtained a get-out-of-jail-free card, and even a great sage would have to think twice before trying to harm him.

Chapter 698 This matter must be kept strictly confidential!

Gudu hid on Gulam's body, its two little eyes peeking out from the gaps in its clothes to observe its surroundings.

It can make itself very small, and can hide on others completely unnoticed.
