Chapter 174 -139: Xiamala’s Star Observatory Tower_1
Having secured the divine tool, Lin Xun was all eager and itching to duel the giant monsters in the mist right away.
But he nearly bit the dust even against the severely wounded monsters, if not for the robust support from the Valkyrie, he would have long been a goner.
That made it obvious that he would stand little chance against fully-healthy monsters.
He should focus on enhancing his strength so that he can combat the giants and thereby acquire precious divine equipment.
The ‘Polyvision School Association’ in the travel map had not yet been explored.
Lin Xun switched back to Lily’s shell, wandering blindly in the mist, hoping for the option to commit suicide out of being lost to appear.
[A thick white fog obscures your vision, you can’t perceive anything, neither can you tell the directions…]
After waiting for a while, the text appeared.
[…]
[During your aimless walking, you quickly get lost in the ‘Knowledge Barrier’.]
[…]
[You stumble on without finding a way out of the fog.]
[…]
[You stumble on without finding a way out of the fog.]
The option to commit suicide should appear next.
[…]
[Recognizing that you can’t continue the exploration, do you want to commit suicide and return to the starting point of the journey?]
Just when Lin Xun was about to click ‘yes’ to return to the city for free.
The game text appeared suddenly.
[The silhouette of a structure appears from the fog, you can only see the bottom three levels of it due to the thick white mist. Judging from its narrow top and wide bottom, it seems to be a tower.]
[Would you like to explore it?]
Lin Xun lifted an eyebrow.
He had wanted to return to the city for free, and hadn’t expected to bump into…a hidden area?
How can such a good thing be missed? Just as he was about to switch back to the Earth Giant shell to explore it.
He suddenly remembered that his knowledge was about to hit the upper limit.
His current knowledge was at 800/1100
If his knowledge overloaded inside the Star Observatory Tower causing his head to explode and him to die, how would he make his way back to this hidden area next time?
Therefore, he hurriedly switched to the Dancer shell and put on the special equipment ‘Blindfold of Isolated Truth’.
Without any knowledge-boosting skills, the Dancer’s shell, along with the blindfold that reduces knowledge acquisition, prevented him from dying due to knowledhe overload within the Star Observatory Tower.
[You march forward, the ‘Combat Angel——Valkyrie’ sticks close beside you. With a longbow slung over one shoulder and an arrow resting on the bowstring in her hand, she is ready to shoot any second.]
[You slowly push open the massive refined copper door of the tower, the first floor of the tower comes into sight…]
[You have entered ‘Xiamala’s Star Tower’]
[The light from the oil lamps illuminates the hall, which is filled with many desks and miniature Star Instruments.]
[At the end of the hall, there is a refined copper lift that leads up to the upper floors of the tower.]
[A hunched figure dressed in a white robe with a pointed hat is squatting in front of the lift. The white-robed figure keeps its head down in contemplation, and you can’t make out its countenance…]
[Would you like to exit the tower or approach the white-robed figure to start a conversation?]
Since the option to converse is there, it means this is an NPC.
Lin Xun’s eyes lit up and he clicked to converse.
The NPCs in the wild either provide trading options or missions.
[You stride up and attempt to strike up a conversation with the white-robed figure…]
[The white-robed figure suddenly raises its head and you see a giant black eye occupying half of its pale face!]
[This is your first encounter with the ‘Knowledge-seeking Tower Astrologer’s’ form, the enormous monocular entity sends chills down your spine, you feel dizzy and your soul gets flooded with chaotic knowledge.]
[You acquired knowledge, your knowledge increased by 30. Current knowledge: 830/1100]
[The giant black eye flashes with fierce light as it raises the wand in its hand and chants an incantation, starlight gathers around the wand’s tip…]
This thing is not an NPC, but a monster!
“Damn! This sly game is playing a sneak attack game!”
Well, his epic+ level new eyeball of the Earth Giant had a knowledge amplification effect of five times, while the ‘Blindfold of Isolated Truth’ could reduce the acquired knowledge by half.
Fortunately, Lin Xun was using the Dancer shell which does not possess any knowledge-amplifying skills.
Otherwise, just the sight of the monster at the first meet could have caused him to die due to knowledge overload and his head to explode.
[A sharp arrow fires out with a whoosh, embedding in the giant eye of the white-robed figure, splashing a sticky transparent fluid everywhere…]
[The ‘Knowledge-seeking Tower Astrologer’ lets out a piercing shriek, then falls onto the ground motionless…]

[Your Watcher defeated the ‘Knowledge-seeking Tower Astrologer’, your experience slightly increases!]
The Valkyrie shot the arrow without hesitation and valiantly killed the monster.
She didn’t even give the Dancer a chance to act.
Anyway, the experience would eventually go to Lin Xun no matter who landed the fatal blow.
[You obtained ‘Fragments of Tenacious Spirituality’*1]
[You obtained a ‘Book Containing Some Knowledge’*1]
He got three thousand units of spirituality and added one more book to his inventory making it four.
[You gaze at the dead monsters body…]

To observe the night sky better, he had one of his eyes transformed into a giant eye. It died from the piercing force through its skull. Compatibility 108% (+45%)]
[Do you want to possess this body?]
Dismissing Lily’s shell, Lin Xun clicked yes.
[You have taken possession of the body of the ‘Knowledge-seeking Tower Astrologer’!]
Opening up the body panel for a quick look.
