Night Ranger - Full Series - 735 Chapters

  Did this pink liquid also have the effect of absorbing fat?

  There was no specific indicator on the logs.

  He noticed that he accumulated 71879 battle exp after killing the Black Dragon while the experience requirement to reach level 6 Night Walker was 76000. It looked like the Black Dragon didn’t give him enough, but that was without counting the 20000 battle exp he had yet to distribute!

  Slaying that Dragon was enough to make his Night Walker class reach level 6, giving him overall level of 18.

  For Marvin, this was a very important number. In all of Feinan, very few people knew what level 18 meant.

  Most people aimed for and fought against the Legend barrier.

  But for Marvin, 18 was a step he would have to stay at for the time being.

  Because as far as he knew, most Secondary Planes could only contain level 18 powerhouses at most!

  These Secondary Planes revolved around Feinan and were isolated from Feinan due to the Universe Magic Pool, so gods could perform miracles there to attract followers.

  A huge amount of lifeforms were inhabiting those Secondary Planes. They didn’t have the protection of the Universe Magic Pool so there was a totally different power system.

  Clerics were the most powerful. They usually were very pious, but because the Secondary Planes lacked the protection of the Universe Magic Pool, the Abyss’ Demons and Hell’s Devils often invaded. The Secondary Planes were usually in chaos. This kind of situation was something the gods were most willing to see.

  In times of chaos, pious people would be even more devoted to their prayers to gods. This way they would get more Faith.

  You could say that the Secondary Planes were a way out that Lance had given the 3rd Era New Gods.

  But they weren’t satisfied with that, wanting more, and thus they eyed Feinan.

  …

  As for Marvin, the Secondary Planes were just as important.

  If he wasn’t wrong, there was as many as 137 Secondary Planes that were occupied by gods. Those were territories established by the thirty or so New Gods.

  Even though Feinan was huge, if they were attacked by the armies of those planes, they might not be able to resist.

  Fortunately, immediately after the Great Calamity, the gods would be busy handling that frightening Astral Beast. It must be known that that Ancient level Astral Beast could swallow Feinan in one bite.

  Without Lance’s treasures, that Astral Beast would have nibbled away more than half of Feinan before the gods could end it!

  The entire multiverse would also be on the brink of crisis.

  But despite that, Marvin was still getting ready to reduce the gods’ power in the Secondary Planes before the Great Calamity, weakening his foes while increasing his own strength.

  On one hand he would develop White River Valley and establish a safe location, while on the other hand he would act against his enemies. Marvin was confident he could resist the gods’ invasion after the Great Calamity.

  During the game, even though the gods kept coming to Feinan, their preaching didn’t go smoothly. It was mostly due to those [Golden Children]!

  Half a year.

  Six months after the disaster, people had no way of getting by. The gods were busy handling that Astral Beast and couldn’t develop their churches, while at the same time, Feinan was suffering from the aftermath of the fall of the Universe Magic Pool.

  That was when the [Golden Children] arrived.

  They naturally had Hero-like templates and their starting attributes were frighteningly high. They would kill people and monsters, and as for gods… they would also kill them.

  Countless players were at the core of the fight against the gods trying to harvest faith.

  This time, Marvin’s soul crossed over to Feinan, but he had a feeling.

  The Golden Children wouldn’t appear this time. If they didn’t appear, Marvin would have to shoulder the duty of all the players.

  This was a very difficult duty, but Marvin was willing to try.

  Thus, once he reached level 18, Marvin would take a trip to the Secondary Planes.

  It was just a matter of time. But for Secondary Planes, time wasn’t an issue.

  For the Secondary Plane Marvin was most familiar with, the time flow was 20:1. In other word, 20 days in that Secondary Plane was equal to one day in Feinan. This was enough for Marvin to accomplish what was necessary.

  …

  Marvin was thinking deeply while soaking in that pink liquid. The construct waited a bit before rousing him from his contemplation.

  “This is Essence Restoration Liquid, and it is very precious. I would hate to use it even when wounded. Master left a bit for me.”

  Mark 47 continued with a deadpan face, “If not for you being the same kind of existence as me, I wouldn’t use such a thing for you.”

  Essence Restoration Liquid?

  Marvin had yet to comprehend the first sentence before the latter one shocked him!

  Who was the same kind of existence as you?

  Please! You are a construct, you are a robot, and I am thoroughly human, okay?

  Apparently noticing the derision on Marvin’s face, Mark 47 remarked unpleasantly, “I am a perfect construct.”

  “Your line of thought is so human. I’ve seen that kind of expression so many times, and why? Are you looking down on constructs?”

  Marvin was startled by the response.

  He seemed to be getting more experience and knowledge ever since he entered Pearl Tower. Things he had never encountered in the past kept appearing one after the other in this place.

  Perfect construct, wasn’t it like a high-end robot?

  This lifeform, or artificial lifeform… even in his world where science and technology was very developed, it was still being tested.

  “What’s Essence Restoration Liquid? Also, why are you saying that we are the same?” Marvin asked cautiously.

  This construct was certainly special.

  Mark 47 sat there, raising a leg over the other in a very human-like manner and started talking about the specifics of the Essence Restoration Liquid.

  …

  After a few minutes, Marvin had a rough understanding of the pink liquid.

  According to Mark 47, this world’s living beings and non-living beings were separated by the existence of essences.

  Essences made up the individual, and could be divided into visible essences and hidden essences. The most basic were the six visible essences, which naturally were the six attributes of the body.

  The rest were hidden essences, which supported the effects of the visible essences.

  Marvin’s serious injury made Marvin deficient in hidden essences. But this was really a strange way of seeing things. It seemed just like a robot’s parts, where everything would be fine as long as new ones were exchanged.

  And Essence Restoration Liquid was a really precious substance that could restore those lost hidden essences.

  Regardless how grave Marvin’s injury was, as long as there was enough Essence Restoration Liquid, he could quickly recover.

  Such an effect was comparable with the 7th circle spells, [Greater Wish] and [Greater Prophecy].

  Moreover, Essence Restoration Liquid wasn’t only limited to humans. It could restore all kinds of lifeforms, like Evil Spirits, Ghosts, Demons… type didn’t matter. It sounded like the legendary Panacea.

  Marvin understood a bit but was still confused.

  But he was more concerned about his second question. “Then why do you say we are alike?”

  Mark 47 kept his legs crossed and sized up Marvin for a bit. He unhurriedly answered, “Because our bodies have the [Essence Data Transformation] System…”

  “But your system seems to have been altered…”

  Chapter 293: Twin Fate Flower

  Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

  What?!

  Essence Data Transf
ormation system?

  Marvin stared dazedly at this construct crossing his legs.

  His biggest secret had been seen through by a construct?

  What was this situation?

  He began to suspect whether his transmigration was something that had been prearranged.

  What happened with God Lance?

  Seeing Marvin’s shocked appearance, Mark 47 asked disdainfully, “Or else, why would I bring you here?”

  “Or else, why would your deed be qualified to be stored in the 7th layer?!”

  “Because you are unique!”

  Marvin relaxed a bit. He was someone who had received a powerful ability, and without it he wouldn’t have been able to adapt to this world so quickly.

  …

  From Mark 47’s explanation, Marvin gradually understood.

  Essence Data Transformation was a kind of system that could be used on a perfect construct.

  But this skill wasn’t something mastered by the ancient Dwarves. According the Mark 47, he had probably been the only one with the system in all of Feinan.

  As the name implied, Essence Data Transformation would turn all aspects of the body into data, and would even work for the people one observed.

  This would make it a lot easier for the user to examine and accurately understand his own strength.

  Understanding oneself was often more difficult than understanding one’s enemies.

  The Essence Data Transformation system perfectly solved this point.

  And according to Mark 47’s scan, Marvin’s system had two sub-modules.

  One was the Essence Absorption Module, and the other was the Mission Essence Reservoir.

  The former let Marvin absorb a part of the essence of defeated enemies based on a certain rule.

  This essence would be stored as [Battle Experience] under the Data Transformation Module.

  This explained why Marvin would obtain battle exp when killing monsters, and also why he could level up.

  Because battle exp itself was essence, it would accumulate to a certain point before turning into his own strength.

  This was a part of world’s laws.

  And the Mission Essence Reservoir was another part of the system.

  The system would gather essence from the void to fill this Essence Reservoir and Marvin couldn’t access it as he wanted.

  Only when Marvin accomplished this Module’s designated missions could he obtain some of the essence gathered inside.

  This was [General Experience].

  The difference between Marvin’s version and the original Essence Data Transformation system was these two outstanding modules. It let Marvin stand out from the masses.

  Otherwise, even if he trained painstakingly after his transmigration, who knew if or when he could advance to Legend.

  Mark 47 had the Mission Essence Reservoir Module but not the Essence Absorption Module, so he couldn’t kill to advance. He could only accomplish his missions and obtain some essence.

  His current mission was very simple, to guard Pearl Tower and collect the scholars’ History Calendars.

  Whenever he was bored, he would read a book.

  In the Pearl Tower, floors 8 and up hid countless books. Mark 47 claimed that he didn’t like reading, but after his order was changed, he could only pass time by reading books.

  He had stayed in Pearl Tower for a long time, waiting until someone with the same Essence Data Transformation system would appear.

  He had a request he needed Marvin’s help for.

  …

  “Ever since I woke up, a new order was planted in my brain, and I can’t leave here.”

  “But after checking, I found out that there is an issue with my Memory Module. My Memory Chip was taken. I would like to entrust you with finding my Memory Chip.”

  Mark 47 then talked a bit about the appearance of his Memory Chip.

  Marvin slightly frowned.

  He had never seen that Memory Chip in Feinan Continent.

  “It might be in an Outer Plane, not necessarily in Feinan.”

  “In short, this task is very important. I want to retrieve my memories.”

  “If you find it one day, you can give it to me. You’ll get great benefits.”

  The construct said all this while touching the back of Marvin’s hand.

  The next second, a new quest appeared in Marvin’s quest menu!

  [Find the Memory Chip (Mark 47)]

  [Description: The Perfect Construct Mark 47 lost his important Memory Chip and hopes you can help him find it. This might seem like looking for a needle in a haystack, but be aware, there might be some extra nice surprises.]

  [Reward: 100 000 general exp]

  …

  100 000 general exp!

  Marvin was wide-eyed.

  This mission reward was really too generous!

  “This essence, or you could call it general experience, was collected by my Essence Pool for so many years.”

  “As long as you complete my task, you can get this ample reward.”

  “It can greatly increase your strength,” Mark 47 said.

  Marvin nodded. He would definitely do this quest. 100 000 general exp could greatly decrease the time it would take for him to become a Legend.

  But something like a Memory Chip… he really didn’t remember anything about it. It seemed like it was time to deal with his own information network.

  …

  After they finished chatting, Marvin put on some clothes. He now had some understanding of Pearl Tower and Mark 47.

  Just as he had guessed, the construct was Pearl Tower’s housekeeper. He had a lot of power over it.

  But when Marvin asked for more information about Lance or the Essence Data Transformation System, the construct said that he would like to tell him, but couldn’t.

  This was because his Memory Chip had been taken away.

  The information stored in his brain was very fragmented, and most of it was occupied by the books he had read.

  It was clear that getting more information from Mark 47 about this world, Lance, or about his transmigration was currently impossible.

  Before leaving, he didn’t forget about his purpose for visiting the City of Knowledge.

  He tried asking Mark 47 about the matter of the Fate Tablet.

  But considering the state of the construct’s memories Marvin hadn’t expected that he would actually know!

  The construct thought for a moment and looked at the Fate Tablet in Marvin’s arms before slowly saying, “I do remember a bit about this thing.”

  “The Fate Tablet is a mystery… Wrong, it’s a part of this world’s laws. The world’s laws are divided in two, Order and Chaos.”

  “The Fate Tablet is a crystallization of Order, and this fragment lost all of its power of Order, but it still could freely absorb all the free power of Order between heaven and earth. This is a very slow process, and might take a few hundred years.”

  Marvin frowned. “You meant that she might awaken once again after a hundred years?”

  “No no no…” The construct explained, “After a few hundred years, the fragment can transform into a new lifeform. But that would be another consciousness. I can feel that the current consciousness is continuously fading away. Her consciousness will completely disappear in at most a year. The one born after a few hundred years would be a totally new consciousness.”

  “In the words of humans, it would be the same body with a different soul.”

  “Do you understand what I mean?”

  Marvin nodded and asked in a heavy voice, “Is there a solution?”

  This was what he was the most concerned about.

  “The [Twin Fate Flower] is an organism living outside the Universe Magic Pool, and it is very difficult to pluck.”

  The construct made a very human-like shrug. “This should be the only thing able to save that fragment of Fate Tablet.”

  Twin Fate Flower?

  A strange expression appeare
d on Marvin’s face.

  It was actually that thing!

  Others might not know where to get it, but Marvin just happened to know of a place where Twin Fate Flowers grew all over!

  Moreover, that place was where he planned to go next.

  This was too coincidental.

  The place where Twin Fate Flowers grew was also the location of one of the items Marvin needed to advance to Ruler of the Night.

  ‘Looks like after going back, I’ll need to take a trip to Arborea,’ Marvin thought.

  Arborea was a Secondary Plane under the gods. The upper level was 18 and it was very populated. However, since it was close to the Abyss, there were frequent battles and it was quite chaotic.

  Most importantly though, Marvin knew how to enter that plane.

  …

  After thanking Mark 47, Marvin prepared everything and left Pearl Tower.

  Unsurprisingly, he was immediately surrounded by scholars once he walked out.

  They crazily asked Marvin about everything that had happened inside the Pearl Tower.

  They weren’t allowed in after all, and were very curious.

  They even forgot to ask about the unsolved mystery.

  Regarding this, Marvin could only say “no comment”… Because these were Mark 47’s original words.

  He gave Marvin a pass. In the future, when he was near Wind Castle, he could directly enter Pearl Tower, letting him bypass the City of Knowledge.

  Under everyone’s disappointed gazes, Marvin hurriedly left the City of Knowledge.

  As he reached the boundary outside Wind Castle, he saw that the carriage was already gone. Fiend Sorceress Daisy had been waiting for him for a long time.

  “All good?” Daisy asked.

  Marvin nodded.

  The next second, a Teleportation Gate appeared.

  She had signed a contract with a Great Void Demon and Teleportation was her strong point. Hope City had a Teleportation Mark, and thus the return trip was very easy.

  Marvin walked through the door as the radiant light flashed.

  Then, he stood on solid ground.

  But a rumbling sound echoed in his ears!

  His eyes widened, only to see a seven-colored radiance wrapping around something ice-blue, before it fell from the sky creating a crater outside Hope City!
