Lin Qianxuan didn't touch the remaining three playtimes for now.
He still had some ideas to put into practice, so he'd have to find a good way to use those three playtimes later.
Lin Qianxuan closed the computer, watched videos for a while, and then grabbed a couple of Spirit Crystals and placed them in his sizable incense pouch.
This incense pouch was something he recently bought outside.
His cultivation now was basically semi-automated.
As long as the Spirit Crystals were nearby, they could be absorbed and refined.
So, he prepared an incense pouch for convenience in his cultivation.
By the way, although Lin Qianxuan had been playing games in the past few days, his Condensing Essence cultivation never stopped, and now two-tenths of the Spiritual Power in his Qi Sea had transformed into a liquid state.
Lin Qianxuan felt that it was equivalent to at least a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals' worth of Spiritual Energy.
Calculating it out, when he achieved Great Success in the Condensing Essence Realm, his body should hold five hundred thousand Spirit Crystals' worth of Spiritual Energy.
This capacity seemed a bit exaggerated.
After all, according to what Lin Qianxuan had seen on the forum, most people at the Condensing Essence Realm only needed a few thousand Spirit Crystals to fill their entire Qi Sea.
That is, if the quality wasn't lacking a bit; otherwise, Lin Qianxuan could already be comparable to many cultivators who just entered the Core Formation Realm.
After spending a night on the bed, it became the next day.
Lin Qianxuan began preparing to contact the authorities.
He didn't plan to follow the game strategy completely.
This is because the current situation was already different.
Before, in the game-simulated past, the information he had was just some basic Refining God Martial Arts knowledge.
But now, he possessed the refined seed of civilization accumulated over a thousand years from the Otherworldly Daqian Country.
It encompassed all aspects of knowledge, from astronomy and geography to Divine Machine technology, its value was beyond imagination.
So this time, it wasn't him seeking help.
It was the Otherworld Bureau that needed his knowledge.
Of course, even if not for this, when he needed to prevent the Crisis Outburst, the Otherworld Bureau should lend him a hand.
After all, it would be a disaster affecting Earth as well.
Lin Qianxuan didn't spend too long preparing the materials, after all, time was extremely pressing, and there was too much information that he couldn't input everything.
As long as he initially takes out something to gain trust, it would be enough.
On September 6th, at six in the morning, at the Kyoto Otherworld Bureau headquarters.
Lin Qianxuan showed a credential and successfully entered.
Then he headed straight to Zhang Heng's office.
Zhang Heng had already started working, sipping tea and flipping through files.
The Otherworld Bureau was gradually stepping into the public eye, and many things required his handling, leaving him with few nights of more than four hours of sleep.
But with his cultivation, a two-hour Visualization was enough to recover his spirit.
Lin Qianxuan knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock~!
"Come in."
Lin Qianxuan stepped in.
"Ah, Xiao Lin, you're here early. Have you had breakfast? Want to have a bite here first?" Zhang Heng said with a smile.
"Thanks for caring, Director Zhang, I've had breakfast. Here's some of the things I've recorded, the rest is in my mind and I can't output all of it right now. You can take a look first." Lin Qianxuan said, taking out a USB stick.
Zhang Heng took the USB stick but didn't directly use it; instead, he called for a staff member to have a look.
Then Zhang Heng began asking Lin Qianxuan about some details.
"You say you obtained these things in a dream?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Yes, a very lucid dream, as if my soul wandered into another world, though I'm not sure about the specifics." Lin Qianxuan answered.
"Talk more about the situation there." Zhang Heng said, setting aside the items in his hands and looking at Lin Qianxuan.
"A world shrouded in black-gray smoke, devoid of vitality everywhere. Various plants and animals, when invaded by the black-gray smoke, mutate into monsters, like some bio-virus. The people there practice a form of cultivation called 'Refining God,' and the Divine Energy itself is very peculiar, seemingly able to manifest their wishes to some extent...."
Lin Qianxuan elaborated in simple terms and soon made the entire situation of the Otherworld clear.
"It seems like you've established some deep connection with that world, making it highly likely that you'll soon travel there." Zhang Heng commented.
"Director Zhang, it's not just possible; it's certain that I'll travel." Lin Qianxuan said, "After dreaming, I've felt a strange pulling force acting on me constantly, getting stronger by the day. I fear at most in another month, I'll travel."
"Such events are hard to avoid..." Zhang Heng frowned, "The pull of the worlds is irresistible, even with Celestial Rank power, you can only prepare early."
"I think so too, which is why I came to you early." Lin Qianxuan responded.
"With your current abilities, the help we can offer might not be much." Zhang Heng pondered and said, "You can't take large weapons, and without complementary facilities, they might not be very effective. The physical laws of the Otherworld might not match ours; we've encountered gunpowder and electrical appliances not working in the Otherworld. However, Spiritual Power is generally compatible, at least 60-70% effective..."
Just like in the game, Zhang Heng would probably consider letting him take a stationed Celestial Level Spiritual Energy Cannon from the headquarters.
Spiritual Technology Weapons are categorized just like Otherworld Bureau members into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow tiers.
A Celestial Level Spiritual Energy Cannon means it can achieve a maximum destructive power equivalent to the Celestial Rank.
However, it only matches in destructive capability.
Compared to a real Celestial Rank Extraordinary Ability User, there remains a significant disparity.
Even Lin Qianxuan himself wouldn't be hit by such a spiritual energy cannon, let alone someone at the Celestial Rank.
During the conversation, the staff who quickly took the USB also gave feedback.
The items Lin Qianxuan provided were verified and all turned out to be genuine.
Zhang Heng wasn't surprised by this response. Although Lin Qianxuan can be somewhat carefree, he definitely isn't the type to act recklessly or joke about serious matters in such a place.
"Before the tenth, Jiang should return for a visit. She can leave you some backup. You should stay within the Otherworld Bureau during this period," Zhang Heng said.
"Alright," Lin Qianxuan nodded, then continued, "Oh, Director Zhang, earlier I had a whim and sensed that something might happen in Liu County of Longjiang City, likely this month."
"Is this a national fortune feedback? Do you have a more specific location?" Zhang Heng frowned and asked.
"The starting point of the disaster is probably Duobao Mountain," Lin Qianxuan replied.
"Do you have any other information?" Zhang Heng asked.
"That's all."
Lin Qianxuan shook his head.
He couldn't detail it much further. In the game, he only reached this level of deduction.
After all, if he gave more detail, it would be hard for him to explain.
After the conversation ended, Lin Qianxuan planned to find Chen Long'Er.
Today, she hadn't gone out on a mission and is currently training in the Otherworld Bureau.
Familiar with the way, Lin Qianxuan arrived outside Jiang Mengli's residence.
Lin Qianxuan knew that Chen Long'Er was currently cultivating in Jiang Mengli's exclusive Cultivation Room.
He observed the surroundings and discovered that the area was covered in spiritual patterns, seemingly forming an array that gathers spiritual energy here. The spiritual power within hundreds of miles is likely drawn to the Otherworld Bureau and then distributed to various cultivation rooms.
With such a setup, even when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is scarce, cultivation speed could significant increase.
Arrays are essentially large-scale spiritual arts. In the Scripture Pavilion, there is even a Gathering Spirit Art.
However, this art is considered somewhat ineffective.
With scarce spiritual energy outside, gathering the energy within dozens or hundreds of meters may not significantly enhance cultivation and might even consume more than gained.
Only the super Gathering Spirit Grand Array set within the Otherworld Bureau can be profitable.
Lin Qianxuan chose not to disturb Chen Long'Er and instead waited quietly.
He hadn't notified her prior, intending to give her a surprise.
Speaking of which, Lin Qianxuan's emotions were a bit complicated now.
The String of Destiny game didn't prepare him mentally for this.
If he'd known in advance they'd launch multiple threads, he certainly would have spent ample time preparing Chen Long'Er to be fully immunized against it.
Now, with the sudden occurrence, he truly worried if he could completely win Chen Long'Er over within this limited time.
If it doesn't work out, would he really be confined to the basement...
Thinking of this made him slightly anxious.
Just waiting around got a bit dull, so Lin Qianxuan started cultivating outside as well.
Even outside the training room, the spiritual energy within the Otherworld Bureau is abundant, comparable to areas near the spiritual ore in Longjiang City.
For Lin Qianxuan, it's also a decent place for cultivation.
After more than five hours, Lin Qianxuan finally sensed Chen Long'Er's movements.
Lin Qianxuan stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, Chen Long'Er opened it.
Her face was filled with surprise and joy upon seeing Lin Qianxuan.
"Qianxuan!" Chen Long'Er exclaimed.
"It's me. I had some matters to discuss with Director Zhang, and I came to see you in the meantime."
Lin Qianxuan reached out his hand and embraced her.
"Have you waited long? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Chen Long'Er asked with slight reproach.
"Not long, I just arrived," Lin Qianxuan replied.
Chen Long'Er knew this was surely a lie, but she didn't expose him.
She sniffed around Lin Qianxuan.
There was no strange smell detected.
Why had he acted as if he committed some serious mistake earlier?
Chen Long'Er couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to dwell on it.
"Are you busy this afternoon?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"I have a patrol mission," Chen Long'Er answered.
"Will you have any teammates?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"I'll go alone; the bureau is currently short-staffed. But it's near the city, and satellites constantly monitor, so it won't be dangerous," Chen Long'Er said.
"Let me accompany you. I'll mostly be staying in the Otherworld Bureau before the tenth, and I'll have some matters to trouble Senior Jiang by then," Lin Qianxuan said.
"Qianxuan, what brings you to the Otherworld Bureau?" Chen Long'Er asked curiously.
"That's a long story, let's talk about it at my dorm," Lin Qianxuan said.
"Alright," Chen Long'Er nodded.
