I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 1101: The Uneasiness Behind Xiyue
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
"That guy Tremble, really hasn’t changed, still so impatient. But, he managed to bring back the necessary materials for the information system and get it repaired, which is already commendable."
When the Dragon Queen said this, she wore a comforting smile.
"In this meeting, no matter what kind of suggestions Tremble proposes, I, the Dragon Queen, will express my support. This guy can be surprisingly meticulous despite his roughness. Since he’s reliable, the future of Dark Rising should be handed over to him."
Within Dark Rising, the status and prestige of the Dragon Queen and Mr. Gongsu were, without exaggeration, the highest.
After Mr. Gongsu’s murder, the Dragon Queen became the sole leader.
The members supported the Dragon Queen not only because of her contributions to Dark Rising, but also due to her wise decisions that had saved Dark Rising from many disasters.
For the Dragon Queen to say such words at this moment, even the Seven Heroes had no choice but to follow her lead.
We must admit, sometimes, a more radical approach is not a bad thing for the organization.
The Divination Genius did not speak, merely nodded.
Among those present, only he foresaw the despairing path Dark Rising would take under Tremble’s leadership.
As one of the Seven Heroes and a candidate for Dark Rising’s leadership, there were few in the temporary headquarters who could not recognize him.
Walking with an indifferent stride, ignoring the greetings from Dark Rising members along the way, Tremble’s expression was extremely grave at the moment.
In the building housing the information system on Temporary Star, Dark Rising members who learned to establish the system from Gongshu De were celebrating wildly.
The problem that had troubled Dark Rising for so long was finally solved at their hands.
To any engineer, this moment’s joy was one of a lifetime.
"Brothers, from now on, Dark Rising’s powerhouses will no longer be scattered like sand. We will reclaim what should’ve been ours from All Gods through the information system we rebuilt!"
"Haha! I’m the boss now! When I get home, I can brag properly to my wife and kids. I’m a hero of Dark Rising too!"
"Tell me about it!"
Just as the engineers in the information system room were planning to celebrate, the door was suddenly flung open.
Seeing the person standing at the doorway, the engineers were stunned.
"Lord Tremble, what, what are you doing here?"
"Lord Tremble, you..."
Before the engineers could finish speaking, Tremble dashed to the information system at lightning speed.
Watching the constantly running information system and the crisscrossing data codes, a barely noticeable fear flickered in Tremble’s eyes.
"You, come here!"
Tremble pointed to an engineer and said.
Before the engineer could react, Tremble had already yanked him over.
"You, tell me how to use this thing. I want to locate someone’s exact coordinates."
The information system had been restored, so long as a member wearing a Dark Rising Ring was involved, the system could instantly capture their precise coordinates.
Tremble, being part of the upper echelon, had never concerned himself with how to use the information system before.
"Whose exact coordinates do you want to locate, Lord Tremble? It’s not that anyone’s position can be queried unrestrictedly. You tell me, and I’ll help you operate it?!"
As soon as the technician finished speaking, a pale blue holographic control panel appeared before him.
Admitting he couldn’t operate the information system, Tremble blurted out: Gongshu De.
Upon hearing the name, the technicians present were all frozen with shock.
Really?
Could it be that Tremble misses the late Gongshu De so much that he wants to verify if Gongshu De’s ring is still functional, even knowing he’s deceased?
A Dark Star ring, upon the bearer’s demise, reports the status to headquarters and includes the ring’s location, automatically activating recording mode.
If the Dark Rising Organization wanted, they could locate the ring and learn the bearer’s posthumous situation within a week.
This was a great safeguard for Dark Rising Organization’s members.
Why hadn’t they sought out Gongshu De’s ring? The reason was simple: the Formless Realm wasn’t easily trespassable.
At Dark Rising’s peak, they couldn’t breach Formless Realm, let alone now when they’re retreating with each encounter. Dark Rising attempting to retrieve Gongshu De’s ring in Formless Realm would be akin to suicide.
Therefore, to preserve strength and avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Dark Rising could only let Gongshu De’s ring dissipate on its own.
The technician didn’t think much of it and didn’t link Gongshu De’s death to Tremble. He assumed Tremble mentioned Gongshu De’s name just to perform a last verification of his life or death.
"Lord Tremble, Master Gongshu De has already..."
Another technician began speaking.
He wanted to persuade Tremble to accept the fact that Gongshu De was gone. However, the technician who was called over entered Gongshu De’s name into the information system in earnest.
With the click of the search button, information about Gongshu De emerged.
The information system documented Gongshu De’s contributions to Dark Rising over the millennia with great detail.
However, the moment Gongshu De’s information page appeared, the entire display turned gray, a special display for deceased Dark Rising members.
"Lord Tremble, Master Gongshu De is truly gone. Please don’t get carried away. Although Master Gongshu is deceased, he will forever live on in our hearts."
The technician intended to comfort Tremble, but he failed to notice the fleeting expression of relief on Tremble’s face.
"Alright, I understand."
Displaying Gongshu De as dead, this information is absolutely false.
Because Tremble personally witnessed Gongshu De’s survival.
Displaying Gongshu De as dead is evidently Gongshu De’s own maneuver.
Uncertain when the Dark Rising information system would recover, unsure whether he would expose Tremble’s actions first or if Tremble would locate him, he immediately canceled his own information.
No, something’s wrong!
Just as Tremble was about to turn and leave, he suddenly thought of something.
"No, search for Lin Yi’s information. That kid has been disconnected from the organization for a long time. With his extraordinary talent and the Heaven-piercing Mantra capable of influencing the Three Realms and Six Paths, whether he is safe is very important to us."
Realizing that the old trickster Gongshu De was saved by Lin Yi, he had to confirm Lin Yi’s information once more.
