Emulator: Opening Talent Super Gigolo

Chapter 19

Dao Melody

It was a face of peerless beauty that was faintly visible through the veil.

Nobility, exquisiteness, and eeriness could be seen on that face at the same time.

At this moment, Lin Chang`an only felt something abruptly rising from his mind. However, in his fragmented memories, the face only flashed past once. He only knew that he had seen her before.

“Those who can appear in textbooks are definitely people of high status. What sort of existence was she exactly?”

Huge waves of terror rose in his heart.

It seemed like this dungeon wasn’t as simple as the C-Grade.

“Sir, can you help to remove my veil?”

The figure still repeated her words and had no intentions of answering him.

At this moment, Lin Chang`an was already extremely close to the figure.

He gritted his teeth and stretched his hand out, wanting to grab her hand.

In the simulation, he depended on a beauty trap to pass.

It should be enough by sacrificing a little and letting her hug him, right?

Yet, when his hand stretched out, he touched nothingness.

“Sir, can you help me…” The figure trembled at a speed that he couldn’t see clearly, but her mouth was uttering the same words.

Lin Chang`an was stunned.

He couldn’t even get near her, so how should he use the beauty trap?

Pretending to be pitiful? Or should he do things forcefully?

Could it be that he really had to let her have her way with him?

The sinister wind gusted and had caused his sweatshirt to be in tatters.

“Sir, can you help to remove my veil?”

The voice went straight to his heart.

“I don’t mind, but can you let me pass through here first?” Lin Chang`an asked. “I need to go to the area behind this maze. It’s really important to me…”

And as he spoke, it was like he triggered something. Lin Chang`an suddenly discovered that the blank gaze of the floating figure suddenly had a hint of vitality within!

At this moment, her pale face even had a shade of redness.

This redness was that of health, and it floated up on the other parts of her body, traveling through her blood vessels.

Her eyes, which were filled with vitality, looked over.

Lin Chang`an felt that his heart almost stopped!

A ghost actually had eyes that contained a hint of spirituality. Any ordinary person would be frightened silly on the spot!

“W…who are you exactly?”

For a time, he couldn’t distinguish whether she was a ghost or a human.

The faint shadow didn’t reply, but her silhouette floated away, revealing a pathway ahead.

At this moment, where was the maze? When he glanced forward, there was only a smooth path.

“I…passed just like that?”

Lin Chang`an didn’t really dare to believe this.

Although it wasn’t difficult in the simulation as he only needed to ‘sacrifice’ his body, this time around, he didn’t even sacrifice that and he already achieved a comparable harvest.

Earlier, he had wanted to say that he didn’t mind using his ‘body’ to exchange for safe passage.

But in the end, there was no need to do so?

Anyway, he didn’t have any reason to delay things now.

He glanced at the flat plains ahead and rapidly passed through.

Behind him, the faint shadow didn’t seem to have any intentions of continuing to guard this place.

She actually floated above Lin Chang`an’s shoulders and proceeded forward with him. Every time he stepped forward, she did the same thing.

When Lin Chang`an halted, she did the same thing.

“Y…you want to follow me?”

The figure didn’t reply.

Hence, Lin Chang`an attempted to walk and stop again, and the figure mirrored his movements.

Lin Chang`an glanced up.

His gaze traveled up her long beautiful legs, to her red dress, and finally to her head. Part of the veil seemed to be removed slightly.

Originally, he wasn’t able to see her face. But now, from the gap created, he saw slightly less than half of a flawlessly exquisite face.

Lin Chang`an, who had been stunned once by her beauty, was somewhat shocked.

“It’s like she isn’t just a faint shadow but something that exists in reality. However, why do I feel that she has no corporeal body…?”

This was something he figured after seeing half her face.

And it made him feel a little fearful.

Her skin seemed so smooth and supple, flawlessly beautiful, so it didn’t seem to be an illusion.

But how could it be possible if she was not illusory?

Lin Chang`an continued to walk as the figure followed him. Just like that, they both exited the maze area.

As he stood outside the maze, Lin Chang`an turned his head to look at it. Right now, the maze had reverted back to the incomparably complex state, the state with no exits.

“So, my guess was still wrong.”

“Every checkpoint isn’t guarded by a monster. On the contrary, the so-called monsters are the key to passing through each checkpoint!”

He thought of the desire fragrance, the giant, and the dream-eater. He then understood at this moment that the two entities that killed him were the keys to passing their checkpoints.

Rather to say that a monster was guarding in one direction, it would be better to put it as each monster would give him a correct direction.

Since the woman followed him to leave the maze, this maze could no longer be passed through.

This also meant that this path had been broken.

The scene before his eyes was a stretch of deathly desolation.

Lin Chang`an continued heading inward. This place had no concept of time and space. In the gloominess, time seemed to flow extremely slowly and every second stretched endlessly long.

A human and a ghost silently proceeded forward just like that.

It was unknown when, but Lin Chang`an suddenly felt the weak fluctuation after a while.

“I’ve arrived.”

His heart started beating in accordance with that weak fluctuation.

Lin Chang`an felt like his body seemed to be washed back and forth by a warm current. This was just a weak fluctuation, but it already gave him a feeling that his body was slowly improving.

He hurriedly continued ahead and his body resonated along.

The fluctuations rumbled and reached thunderous levels at the end.

His heart pounded madly and every time it beat, it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.

Lin Chang`an silently listened and he felt intoxicated in the midst of these rumblings. It was as though he could see everything underneath the heavens!

If a powerful cultivator was here, they would be able to judge that this was the sound of Dao!

What he was hearing was the dao melody, and improving his talent and physique was merely one of the effects.

Dao melody was the supreme sound of heaven and earth.

It was imposing and melodious, a rhythm that was close to the truth!

The rumblings echoed out, and the bodies of those immersed within would naturally become boundlessly closer to the Dao.

In addition, amidst the rumblings, the sound of the dao melody was modifying his bone structure and energy channels as well!

Hence, it could cleanse impurities and modify one’s talent to be better.

At this moment, as he continued moving forward, the rumblings in his body reached a point where pain gushed forth. Lin Chang`an then proceeded forward with difficulty as he did his best to adapt.

Although it was painful, it felt like his entire heart and mind were being baptized.

In his mind, he subconsciously wanted to continue forward.

Very soon, he reached a boundary, and Lin Chang`an no longer dared to continue moving ahead.

His heart felt like bursting out of his body at every moment. This was because the sound here was too majestic and magnificent.

After close to reaching his limit, he sat cross-legged in silence and his energy channels were slowly being modified in the rumblings, becoming closer to the Dao. The pain was so intense that he felt like he was about to die.

The bones in his body emitted soft cracking noises, as though they were being weakened and displaced so new bones could grow.

As he endured the pain, Lin Chang`an kept gritting his teeth to persist.

He could clearly sense his talent slowly improving.

In truth, cultivation was the process of absorbing the energy from heavens and earth. In the past, even if Lin Chang`an staked his life to madly revolve his basic cultivation art for the whole night, he would merely absorb an insignificant amount that allowed him to boost his qi and blood value by 0.2 points.

But at this moment, when his body moved, he could already sense that the speed of him absorbing the energy of heavens and earth had increased several times.

“The improvement is too fast. However, this also indicates that my talent was really too poor…”

He then silently sat cross-legged and sensed the improvements in his body.
