Crystal Ball Exploded

"Eastern, let's go!"

Caroline also realized that the day's focus was Awakening Day, not getting angry with some punk who came out of nowhere.

"You must be the people from Ralu Village, right?" A not-so-tall middle-aged man suddenly pushed through the crowd of watchers and walked over to them.

"I am the awakening officer of this Redcoral Town; you can call me Mr. Hoover. today's awakening ceremony is only you guys late!"

The man named Hoover was holding a pile of stamped parchment in his hand.

He also had a small badge pinned to his uniform lapel, which was made of silver, the size of a button, with a rose drawn on it in fine gold thread.

The most important thing is that the yellow-haired punk, Bonnet, who claims to be a "Level Ⅲ Awakener," has no objection to this.

Taiyi and Caroline looked at each other as if to say, "he looks decent, that should be right" then they both nodded and followed the self-proclaimed "Awakening Officer" Mr. Hoover.

"I'm from Transylvania province, and my hometown is much bigger than Redcoral Town.

Just one civilian area is more magnificent than the whole Redcoral Town." Mr. Hoover said as he walked.

He seemed to be in a good mood, "If you can become Awakened, you can also try your luck in Transylvania Province; maybe the magic school there will accept you."

"Your Excellency, thank you for the reminder; I hope so." Caroline was smiling; she was very respectful and was envisioning the future that the awakening officer was talking about.

The Transylvania province, is it?

Taiyi noted that he was 100% going to go to this place.

He is a player, not an NPC in the game; in the game, he has no family or future to worry about, so naturally, he can go wherever he wants.

Ralu Village and Redcoral Town are just "novice villages" for game beginners; they are "birth points" to help players quickly build their understanding of the game world.

Taiyi thought the church in Redcoral Town would be decent and magnificent, as it has the largest marketplace in a 20-mile radius.

He imagined the awakening ceremony would take place in a confessional-like room.

As it turned out, the church was surrounded by dirty and muddy construction sites, and even the church itself was in shambles, not at all grand.

"The church in Redcoral Town is undergoing an expansion, so we'll just have to condescend to you youngsters, come on, walk with me towards the back door."

Mr. Hoover sighed as he continued, "You're too late, the last two people on the pre-awakening list."

At this moment, Caroline, following the Awakening Officer, sneaked a glance at Taiyi, seemingly saying with her eyes,

"Would we be so late if it wasn't for you oversleeping?"

Taiyi could only shrug his shoulders and look to the side of the scenery, pretending that he didn't understand Caroline's meaning.

After all, he couldn't just tell Caroline:

Hi, Miss, I'm a player, and you live in a big game world. The servers I'm on are all open at this time in unison; that's why I must be late.

There was a small, rudimentary tent stacked with sticks and branches at the back of the church that looked very perfunctory.

When Taiyi doubted that the awakening location would be such a garbage, Mr. Hoover sounded excited: "We're here!"

It seems that the game's optimization is not good enough; even if the magnificent internal structure of the church is not done, even the most essential awakening level for newcomers is also done so casually.

But the NPCs and the environment here are built to be realistic, which is really contradictory.

Caroline and Taiyi followed Hoover into the old cotton tent, which was dark, with only a few candles shining around.

The tent was a bit like a gypsy woman's divination site as if a crystal ball that could predict fate would appear in the next moment; all around looked mysterious.

"Put your hand on it, lady, and it will guide you through the evaluation."

To Taiyi's surprise, Hoover brought out a crystal ball as big as an artichoke! Precisely as Taiyi had thought in his mind before!

The crystal ball has a translucent texture, and a watery blue mist keeps surging inside as if there is real magic power flowing inside.

What a perfunctory game transitional design!

He doesn't know which game Polar Bear Entertainment copied the divination hut model from.

When Taiyi was forcing himself not to laugh, Caroline had obeyed and did as she was told, covering her entire palm in this artichoke-sized crystal ball.

At that moment, the mist in the crystal ball surged as if it was evaluating Caroline's magic level.

Then, just as quickly, the entire crystal ball immediately turned purple!

It said purple, but in fact, it was only a lilac color, not the deep purple of ripe grapes.

"Wow, an unexpected harvest. Let me see-" said Mr. Hoover, who quickly opened a parchment-bound book and seemed to be probing the details.

"The Lilac color, you are a Magic Level 3.5 Awakened, work hard, and perhaps you can become a great witch in the future and help clear your hometown of the crisis monsters bring."

"Level 3.5!!!"

Caroline's tone was full of pride and pride. She couldn't believe her eyes and ears, "I didn't hear wrong, did I?!"

"Nope, you are Level 3.5."

Taiyi thought, "Just my garbage English level, I can totally understand it; how can't you understand that?"

"Oh my god! I'm so happy, Eastern,"

Caroline excitedly spun around, then wrapped her arms directly around Taiyi beside her, saying, "This is the best news I've heard in the past 16 years!"

With Caroline's words, she directly wrapped her entire body around Taiyi.

She was actually as tall as Minna, both 5'7. Still, she was much more enthusiastic than Minna, while Taiyi could not move with her hands between her.

The two vast and soft touches on Caroline's chest were transmitted through the out-of-body sensory costume to Taiyi's body as she lay inside the game pod.

Taiyi couldn't help but blush.

Help!

Why is this female NPC named Caroline so enthusiastic?

In reality, he was just an ordinary boy who had been single since birth!

"Lady, calm down." Taiyi hurriedly pushed away Caroline, who was clinging to him.

He pretended to be calm and pretended that he was a decent man who wouldn't just lust after a girl's pretty body.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot that you haven't rated the awakening level yet."

Caroline raised her hand and touched the brown hair that was strewn around her forehead, her face was now full of flush from excitement, and she looked charming.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hoover, I have a question, is there any connection between color and awakening level? How did you rate Caroline as level 3.5?" Taiyi asked.

"Excellent question; we use the seven-color rating method; that is, all magic levels need to follow the seven primary levels, they are white, green, blue, purple, orange, gold, and the red.

Each awakened person's awakening level is different, and the color reflected on the awakening crystal - that is, this crystal ball - is also other."

"Those who have no magic power are level zero, and the crystal ball will remain transparent; otherwise, as long as the crystal ball reflects the color, then it will reflect the corresponding magic awakening level according to the shade of the color.

For example, this lady from Ralu Village's magic power is purple, which should initially be counted as level 4.

Still, because this purple color is too light, it can only be rated level 3.5."

"Thank you, Mr. Hoover; your erudition has given me a deeper understanding of magic." Taiyi nodded his head in appreciation.

"What a polite young man, haha. I can remind you that, in the eyes of the Awakened, enchanted clothing, special weapons, or the various monsters that roam the continent, there are no more than these 7 colors. So - see a powerful color? Don't hesitate; hurry up and run."

Hurry up and run? That sounds like a good tactic.

But Taiyi has always believed that running away without a would to be disliked by the God of Game.

Taiyi prepared to later out of the church to grab a lucky NPC to practice with himself; he saw how big the gap between the magic can be.

For example, that level 3 Awakened called Bonnet just now is very good.

Since Bonnet had the guts to molest Caroline, he must not be the kind of coward who would just run away and admit defeat.

"However, I've never felt the presence of magic on your body, which is usually not a good sign," the Awakened Officer said, "Of course, maybe there are miracles."

Mr. Hoover winked and handed the crystal ball he was holding to the 16-year-old, also from Ralu Village.

Taiyi followed Caroline's example, but unlike Caroline, when Taiyi's fingertips just touched the crystal ball, the entire ball trembled as if a mysterious force was coercing it into submission.

Clack, clack clack.

The crystal ball made a loud noise as if it would explode in the next second.

"This ... is ..."

Mr. Hoover, on the side, could not believe his eyes, he had lived for more than fifty years, but this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

The crystal ball for awakening is not an ordinary crystal material; it is actually a vessel for magical diversions, like a water pipe responsible for drainage.

And now the water pipe is actually going to explode?

What terrible magical energy this must be!

Mr. Hoover saw an intense red; nonono, it can no longer be called red; the red is so thick that it seems to drip out the black liquid.

And the highest level in the seven-color rating method, level 7 Awakened, is red!!!

Mr. Hoover did not say that another color, black, is on top of the seven-color rating method.

Only extremely rare sons of fated, so rare that the entire continent in a century rarely encounters one of those people, their magical talent can touch the eighth level other than red!

When the crystal ball exploded, Mr. Hoover shouted the result of Taiyi's awakening: "Red and black! Level 7.5!!!"
