Chapter 34 – Going to Africa

The Tang sword was Meng Ke’s phantasy, and his surveillance could reach anywhere his phantasy was. He had watched the experiment that had happened in this room.

“Was it my actions that led them to think I am a normal human that had gotten superpowers?” 

Meng Ke thought of Chen Li’s experience, he was the first to kill a monster and level up, and he was also the most hard-working and highest levelled, a person that resembled a saviour for the world that surpassed every other player’s abilities.

Just like……

Just like a main character?

It was as if the world itself loved this person, it wasn’t a wonder that they would suspect him.

“Did I accidentally find myself a scapegoat?”

It was a blessing in disguise, and he was bound to gain as he lost.

I didn’t expect them to see through me so easily.” Meng Ke laughed. 

But it wasn’t much to be surprised about, as a machine that was managing 1.5 billion people, with the number of geniuses and intellects mixed in, it would be too absurd for him to control and play with them all alone.

Being caught like this, he wasn’t worried about getting caught with Xuan Nv’s help.

Not only that, they were too hasty, they hadn’t even found any of his traces and they were already taking action.

“But, what is that blue liquid?”

Without having to worry about his own safety, Meng Ke started to take notice of the blue medicinal liquid that was used when they started experimenting with the Tang sword.

Sensing it with his spiritual powers, he could feel the incredible amount of energy within that flask of blue medicinal water, this was his first time seeing something aside from himself that had supernatural powers. 

“Spiritual medicinal water? Magical medicinal water?”

Despite not knowing what it was, Meng Ke was able to confirm now that there were definitely supernatural powers that were unknown to the general population, and he wasn’t the only one with it. 

Meng Ke caught a whiff of danger and started to think carefully. 

He had backup plans, and his spiritual powers had gotten strong enough for him to connect to another few tens of thousands of people, if he tossed all of them into Tian Hai city, he could increase his gains.

Meng Ke thought of his previous plan as well, which was to go to an aboriginal tribe in Africa and develop a religion. He thought that his ability was practically made to create cults.

Spreading his religion in the continent of Africa was a plan that would meet the least amount of resistance, and it would bring in the most benefits.

This plan, could be tried.

“But, how do I get there?”

Through traditional means would leave too big of a trace, leaving open the possibility of getting caught. He didn’t even have to think to reject this option.

Could he create a one-use teleporting tool with his energy?

“God, this would require 52% of your energy, I do not recommend it.” Xuan Nv immediately calculated the cost.

Fine, he’ll put this plan on the burner.

It was a pity that his surveillance was limited to the observation of the people to whom he was connected. But it made sense since it would be absurd for him to access every corner of the universe.

Suddenly, Meng Ke thought of something.

………

After a while, a sparrow flew from the skies of Tian Hai city, it flew behind a bus and then into the carriage of a high-speed train, undetected by the people in its surroundings.

In just a day, it reached the airport. A spiritual thread was successfully connected with a tourist headed to Africa.

After more than 10 hours of flight, his spiritual thread connected with another bird again the moment the man walked out of the airport. With the flap of its wings and a shrill cry, the bird took to the air.

A bird’s vision was something incomprehensible to a human, but thanks to Xuan Nv’s adjustments as the bridge between them, Meng Ke could control the bird through a human’s view.

Before this, Meng Ke had tested controlling animals through illusions, but their reactions were filled with confusion when met with his illusions.

They could see it, but they couldn’t understand it.

This was the difference in species.

Not just animals, but even between different humans, everyone saw the world differently. Just by showing an animal a human’s viewpoint, didn’t mean that it could digest it.

It was good to have Xuan Nv around.

The subconscious had the ability to understand its surroundings much better than its consciousness.

Unless you thought that humans really believed that everything that they see with their eyes was the world in its entirety?

No matter how ignorant you were, you would at least know that human eyes were convex lenses.

And because it was a convex lens, the world that humans saw should have been flipped upside down, but after the adjustments made by their subconsciousness with “up” and “down”, humans got used to seeing the way that they did and didn’t notice this.

Xuan Nv acted as a translator between Meng Ke and the bird, and transmitted a human’s vision as a bird’s vision, eliminating the species difference between them.

Birds were much easier to control compared to humans, Meng Ke simply had to instruct it to fly towards a direction and make it seem as though any other direction was blocked.

And when Meng Ke instructed it to stop, it had already flew to an aboriginal tribe.

There were many such tribes in Africa, and due to a lack of contact with the outside world and their satisfaction with their current self-fulfilling lifestyle, they chose to continue living this way. 

They had their own customs and etiquette, and now many of their younger generation had started coming into contact with people from modern society. There were only very few tribes that continued to live in isolation. 

Meng Ke released the bird and contacted his spiritual thread with a black man from the tribe. As he couldn’t even understand their language right now, he wasn’t too eager. 

He had let Xuan Nv calculate the amount of time needed to understand and communicate effectively through their language, he just needed three hours. 

And within this time, he would carefully observe the people here. 

He knew the importance of patience. 

……

There were 123 people in the Boku tribe, which wasn’t resistant to contact from society, and in the past five years, the younger people had been leaving the tribe to go to the outside world. 

They already knew the huge bird in the skies were a plane, the flashing boxes were televisions, they knew that they were standing and living on a planet called Earth, and that there was no god. 

During their doubt, people had brought televisions and changed their worldview. 

The brilliance of the outside world had tempted them, and more and more people started to leave the tribe, with their hearts thirsting for more knowledge. 

But behind the brilliance that came was a shadow that followed, it was a car filled with guns and explosives that threatened them into submission. 

Ruled by a group of men from the outside world, the entire tribe was left with seeds of a plant that would be harvested by them and taken away by the men with their cars. 

And aside from that, they continued to live their original lives, and as the world around them changed, they stayed constant.
