“Hmm.”
Ren Jianmo nodded his head.
“Wow!”
Dumbfounded, Mo Tiangen exclaimed, “Such an awe-inspiring name, really makes one feel the romanticism of splitting the heaven and earth apart.”
T/N- is a Chinese idiom. The idiom has two meanings. The first meaning refers to pioneering the world, hard work, and more to describe the creation of an unprecedented and magnificent cause; the second meaning refers to never before, the first time in history. [5] This idiom is a combination type, and is used as a predicate and attribute in a sentence.
“It isn’t as magnificent as it sounds.”
Ren Jianmo smiled faintly. “My ability focuses on ‘spoken’ words. In short, I can use some brief sentences to control someone’s consciousness.”
Ji Dong: “Ah!”
He recalled the few instances when he had seen Ren Jianmo use his ability.
When they were in the [City of Ashes], Ren Jianmo had used his powers on Brother Jie and the canine ape monster, “Don’t move” on the former and “Let go” for the latter. They were very brief commands, and both Brother Jie and the canine ape monster had indeed followed his orders at that time.
Likewise, in [Separation of Flesh and Bone], Ren Jianmo gave instructions to several Skeleton Monsters in front of him.
Ji Xiao’niao still remembered what it felt like at that moment, his brain went blank, and he couldn’t think for himself, all he knew and felt was Ren Jianmo’s voice imprinted in his mind, as if he were a puppet that would follow his commands unconditionally.
——So, is this the power of the [God said, ‘Let there be light.’] ability?
“Let’s put it this way.”
Ren Jianmo looked at Mo Tiangen’s face that seemed to say “I do not understand”.
“For example, if I activate my psychic ability and say ‘stand up’ to you, you will obey my command and stand up immediately.”
“So that’s how it is!”
It was as if a light bulb went off in Mr. Dagen’s head and he made a excited expression.
“Wow, you’re too OP with this ability! If you encounter an enemy that you can’t deal with, you could just tell them to ‘jump through the window’ and solve the problem!”
Ren Jianmo denied, “No. With my current level of psychic ability, I can’t do that.”
Mo Tiangen: “???”
“My psychic ability has two limitations.”
Meeting the curious gazes of Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen, Ren Jianmo patiently explained.
“First of all, the subject must have a nervous system.”

Mo Tiangen nodded in understanding and continued to ask.
“What about the second limitation?”
“The second limitation is that I cannot order you to do something complicated or time consuming. For example, I can make you stand up, but I cannot make you do three frog hops around this room after you stand up.”
Ren Jianmo still took Mo Tiangen as a description.
“And if the command can cause great harm to the recipient, they will resist subconsciously, and will probably result in failure.”
Then he pointed to the towering wave projected on the wall, and said to Mr. Dagen:
“It’s easy for me to make you stand up, but if I want you to break the wall and jump down, it’s nearly impossible to do so, at best, you will only freeze for a short while because of my command.”
Seeing the two nodding, Ren Jianmo added one last thing.
“Also, if the opponent is particularly strong, such as the giant skeleton monster we encountered in the last [Film], my powers will most likely not work either.”
Ren Jianmo’s explanation was imaginative and easy for both Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen to understand.
“So, although your supernatural ability is very powerful, there are still quite a lot of restrictions.”
Teacher Dagen stroked his chin and pondered seriously.
“But it’s still quite handy at critical moments and can be used to buy time.”
He got excited as he spoke.
“For example, if you encounter a BOSS that you can’t beat, you can yell at it ‘don’t move’, and then it really doesn’t move, and then we rush over from the side and we will make a run -oh, it’s not too cool!”
Ren Jianmo silently raised the corners of his lips and did not say anything.
But Ji Dong turned to glance at Ren Jianmo.
He felt that Ren Jianmo did not tell them everything about his ability.
Ji Xiao’niao had noticed a long time ago that while Ren Jianmo was in the [Film], there would be a period of time when he appeared very weak.
Although he never mentioned it and tried his best to hide it in front of everyone, his pale face, slightly trembling hands, and cold sweat all over his forehead, were clear signs that he was drained and worn out.
—— Now that I think about it, every time that he appeared to be weak, it was right after he had used his ability…
The thought brought a frown to his face.
He began to wonder if Ren Jianmo’s ability could be harmful to his body.
——If this is true…
Ji Xiao’niao bit his lip.
——If this is indeed true, then we have to let him use it as little as possible in the future!
After exchanging details about each other’s abilities, they began to study the “Moon God Stone” again.
This was the first “collectible” they got.
According to Zhao Zhui, the headhunter of the guild “Compass”, a collectible was a rare and precious special prop, which must be turned in if they are in the guild.
Although they acquired the “Moon God Stone”, they didn’t know what it could be used for.
“I’ve asked.”
Like a cat playing with a ball, Ji Dong passed the blue-gold stone from hand to hand, and said with a bitter face, “My AI said he can evaluate its capability, but it would cost me 1000 points.”
He said, grinding his teeth in resentment.
“I worked so hard in the last [Film] to earn more than two thousand points, yet an appraisal costs a thousand points. Isn’t this inflation too fraudulent!”
“That is a bit expensive ah…”
Mo Tiangen reached out to take the “Moon God Stone” from his hands and brought it up to the overhead lighting, carefully inspecting the crude and simple stone.
“So, what if it’s not appraised?”
Ji Dong cocked his head, “The AI told me that the [Peach Blossom Spring] can just recycle this collectible…”
He paused, “And redeem it to me for 20,000 points.”
Teacher Dagen’s mouth opened into an “O” on the spot.
Even if they took into account their previous earnings, the value of the “Moon God Stone” would still come out to be much higher than all of their totals combined, equivalent to completing eight or nine [Films].
Mo Tiangen’s lips trembled for a moment.
“… Then, how about… we simply, let’s sell it…”
“No, that’s too risky.”
Ji Dong shook his head.
“Have you forgotten the rules of the [Peach Blossom Spring]? When your points accumulate up to a certain level, you will be forced to increase the difficulty of the instance, and we have yet to figure out at what value the changeover occurs. If the three of us divide 20,000 points equally amongst ourselves, we would have around six or seven thousand, plus our own earnings, our net points would suddenly increase to over ten thousand…”
“Right.”
Mo Tiangen scratched his stubble and said bitterly:
“If we don’t know how to use it, nor can we sell it, then isn’t this stone useless?”
Ji Dong patted him on the shoulder.
“It doesn’t matter, it isn’t something urgent. Let’s put it aside for now, when we have more points in the future, we can get it appraised.”
Mo Tiangen also felt that this was all he could do for now.
“In the end, we know too little.”
Ji Dong sighed.
“It seems that it is still a bit of a loss if you are not part of a guild…”
——————-
When the three entered the world of [Separation Of Flesh And Bones], it was February 15, and when they came back to the [Peach Blossom Springs] after surviving for three days and two nights, the calendar showed that only one day had passed.
For the inexperienced Ji Dong, this sense of time dislocation was indeed quite difficult to adapt to.
The more “experienced” players would give themselves and their team at least three days up to a week to adjust, relax, and unwind, this allowed the team to be well rested and in their best physical and psychological states for the next [Film].
But Ji Dong had no intention to rest.
He was not satisfied with his performance in the last [FIlm] and somewhat developed a strong sense of crisis.
Hence, he proposed to Ren Jianmo and Mo Tiangen that they go to the Hourglass Cube the very next day to choose the next [Film] they would enter so that they could get more preparation time.
“Hey, why the rush?”
After listening to his suggestion, Mo Tiangen rubbed the child’s wooly curls in disapproval, “You should also spend a few days to relax and not worry about the future challenges.”
Ji Dong, however, insisted on his suggestion.
“The earlier the lottery is drawn, the earlier we can make targeted preparations.”
He replied.
“And after watching the trailer for the next [Film], we will have more flexibility on how we can use our points…”
Ji Xiao’niao said and weighed the “Moon God Stone” in his hand, “For example, if necessary, this can be sold.”
“Oh, yes, it can still be like this!”
Mo Tiangen also figured it out.
Indeed, as long as they drew lots and received the next [Film] of F-level difficulty, then even if they sell the “Moon God Stone” and went over 10,000 points, they wouldn’t have to worry about the [Peach Blossom Spring] forcing them to increase the difficulty because their points were too high.
Teacher Dagen knew very well the associated dangers, they had already suffered and come across near death situations on multiple occasions in F-level [Films], if they were unprepared, and suddenly upgraded to B-level difficulty, he was afraid their group would be annihilated as soon as they entered the [Film].
——Ji Xiao’niao is right, in order to seek stability, it is better to decide the [Film] early, and then plan carefully!
After comparing the pros and cons, the three of them agreed to meet at the entrance of Hourglass Cube tomorrow morning at nine o’clock to draw lots directly, which ended their small meeting in the ‘Lian Ge’.
However, plans were bound to change at the last minute.
Before the next morning, Mo Tiangen dialed the phone in Ji Dong’s room at midnight, bringing him a surprising piece of news.
Thank you for the chapter!
Wow! Thank you for new chapter~
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Oh, so that is why we didnt see Ren Jianmo helping Ji Dong….
Still suspicious honestly? In the last film, when Annie mask got stuck and Ji Dong almost got bitten/strachted, why Ren Jianmo
only do the power near the death end situation? Why not directly said stop before the claw go near Ji Dong?
Why i have so many typos here….
