Global Awakening: Eavesdropping on the SSS-level School Beauty's Inner Voice-Chapter 37 Mechanical Goddess Alice! Even in another life, I can’t escape you!
Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Mechanical Goddess Alice! Even in another life, I can’t escape you!
[System has automatically bound the Mechanical Goddess Alice within the Host’s range. Host can now perfectly eavesdrop on the Mechanical Goddess Alice’s inner thoughts!]
[Alice is the first young superpower talent of the current generation in the Beiyin Domain with an SSS-rank Mechanical Puppet Master Ability. She is the non-Mechanical Divine Country human Awakened who is most likely to undergo Mechanical Ascension in the future. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Before her rebirth in the previous life, she met the original host Lin Tianming at a competition hosted by the High-level Awakened Academy and grew to like him as they got to know each other. She even took the initiative to share with the original host that the Mechanical Secret Realm was about to open in Jiuzhou shortly after the end of the competition, hoping he would join her in exploring it to find opportunities.
Little did she know that Lin Tianming, lured by the treasures of the Mechanical Divine Country within the Mechanical Secret Realm, plotted to keep them for himself, catching Alice off guard, with a fatal strike, and stealing all the opportunities they discovered together.
The surviving Alice, however, discovered the Mechanical Ascension Pool that Lin Tianming failed to find, receiving the evolutionary inheritance of the Mechanical Ascenders.
Although Lin Tianming was certain of Alice’s demise, to ensure no one discovered his vile deeds, he used his connections to notify the major powers of Jiuzhou and seal off the entrance to the Mechanical Secret Realm.
Upon emerging, Alice, being a Beiyin Domain person and not from Jiuzhou, naturally faced various obstructions from the major Jiuzhou forces that had come to blockade her return to the Beiyin Domain.
Having narrowly escaped death and returning to the Beiyin Domain, Alice who had misjudged a person swore to make Lin Tianming pay for betraying her in the future. However, when she felt the time was right to seek revenge on the ungrateful Lin Tianming, she received news of his death.
Not being able to personally execute the Lin Tianming who deceived her emotions and nearly killed her became an unresolved Heart Demon, which constantly hindered her from reaching the absolute rational Ascension state of the Mechanical Divine Country.
Eventually, in a battle against a Mechanical Ascender God from the Mechanical Divine Country, Alice, deeply tormented by her Heart Demon, was defeated and perished.]
Heart Demon?
Another Heart Demon...
Besides Jiang Han, who was betrayed and killed at the moment of becoming a God, other Divine Queens like Ye Qingxue, Feng Lan, Wang Yanran, and Alice all had Heart Demons that affected their mental states.
Moreover, these Heart Demons all stemmed from him, Lin Tianming.
Why do Heart Demons sprout after becoming a Divine Being?
Could it be that the posture for becoming a God is incorrect?
And what about that Age of Gods’ Descent that came after the era of the three Divine Countries’ descent? What kind of era is that?
The three Divine Countries... could it be, as he learned in the Lost Land Secret Realm with Ye Qingxue before, that they are the Genetic God Country, Mechanical Divine Country, and Spiritual Power Divine Country?
Are the Ascenders of these Divine Countries friends or foes to them, the human Awakeners who awakened their superpowers through the Awakening Ceremony?
At this very moment, because Lin Tianming had obtained information about the Mechanical Goddess Alice, more and more doubts filled his heart.
Knowing that now was not the time to contemplate these questions, Lin Tianming made a mental note about them while surreptitiously observing Alice.
This was Lin Tianming’s first encounter with a person from the Beiyin Domain since his transmigration.
The girl before him, with hair shining like silver in the dark night, was quite eye-catching.
He said, "Boss, didn’t I ask for a serving of mixed grain pancakes? Why haven’t you started making them yet, just staring at my face?"
Called out by Lin Tianming, Alice, who had no idea how to make pancakes, had no choice but to stiffly attempt to prepare them for Lin Tianming.
"Sorry, dear customer, I’ll make it right now!"
[Make it my foot!]
Watching the reluctant Alice cursing inwardly, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but feel amused.
He didn’t call her out for the cursing in her heart already at the level of swearing at her own mother, instead, he enjoyed watching her fumble with making the pancakes with a gleeful attitude.
Lin Tianming not only watched but also picked on Alice’s flaws: "Boss, are you really the owner of this pancake stall? You seem a bit unskilled at spreading the batter, it’s not even smoothed out!"
"Of course, I am! I’ve been doing this for more than a decade, how could I not be skilled? Stop talking nonsense!"
[Damn you, Ming, are you picking a fight on purpose?!]
[I need to finish this lousy pancake quickly to get rid of Ming. Otherwise, once those Jiuzhou Observers lured away by Uncle Luke realize it, it will be even harder for me to sneak into the Mechanical Secret Realm unnoticed!]
Making pancakes for over a decade?
Lin Tianming couldn’t help but laugh.
Was this Alice from the Beiyin Domain making pancakes since she was in her mother’s womb?
Lin Tianming didn’t expose Alice’s numerous mistakes. He kept her around precisely to learn more about her through the System.
Now that he had her information, of course, he wouldn’t intentionally keep her here.
Because if she could safely enter the Mechanical Secret Realm, it means he could safely enter it too.
He was curious to see what treasures related to the Mechanical Divine Country were hidden inside the realm!
Miss Alice, rest assured, he’s not like the greedy original owner.
If they really encounter any treasures, he certainly wouldn’t commit murder for them but would split them evenly with her.
Watching Alice fumble with the pancake batter at the stand for quite a while, failing to even get the pancakes to hold shape, Lin Tianming found it very amusing.
He also increased her pancake-making difficulty: "Remember to add ham and bacon, and slather on some sweet bean sauce and chili sauce, I like a sweet and spicy flavor!"
"Okay, okay, I’ll add it all for you!"
[I’m going to go insane! Tianming, are you sent by the heavens specifically to obstruct my chance at the Mechanical Secret Realm?]
[Why can’t I shake you off in this life even though I came to Jiuzhou early? So infuriating!]
Peeved, Alice mustered a forced smile for Lin Tianming to avoid letting him see that she was upset.
The more she felt aggrieved, the more Lin Tianming enjoyed it.
He sported a bright smile throughout, clearly enjoying the sight of the silver-haired beauty, who was inwardly grumbling, being frustrated in front of him.
"Alright, here’s your sweet and spicy mixed-grain pancake with ham and bacon!"
Alice packed her pasty creation into a bag and handed it to Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming couldn’t hold back his laughter: "This pancake is so ugly, and the batter is still clumpy, is this even a pancake?"
At her wit’s end, Alice couldn’t keep up the act and said gruffly: "Just tell me if you’ll eat it or not!"
[Damn it, Tianming! If you keep stalling and those Observers lured away by Uncle Luke come back, I won’t let you off the hook!]
Lin Tianming also intended to enter the Mechanical Secret Realm and stopped teasing Alice: "How much for the pancake?"
[Oh no! Aren’t those the Jiuzhou Observers sent to watch me? Just talking about them and they have returned already? Did Uncle Luke only buy me this much time?]
[I can’t waste any more time with this annoying guy, I have to leave now!]
"It’s free, just stop bothering me!"
Seizing the opportunity before the returning Jiuzhou Observers noticed her, Alice abandoned the role-play with Lin Tianming and turned to flee the scene.
Soon after, those Jiuzhou Observers who were tracking Alice found Lin Tianming.
"Young man, did you see a girl with silver hair, roughly your age? That girl has distinct facial features that don’t belong to Jiuzhou!"
Lin Tianming shook his head innocently: "No."
Seeing Lin Tianming’s denial, the Observers failed to suspect anything and continued to search the vicinity for Alice.
As for Lin Tianming, before he pursued Alice, he bit into the clumpy batter which was anything but a mixed-grain pancake. Yet, it didn’t taste as bad as he imagined.
"Not too bad, just a bit sticky, barely edible – can’t let it go to waste!"
