Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 373: Chapter 83

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Relax. Where should I go? Of course, the Void Mask Land!

The Void Mask Land had the best hot springs. With the service of the professional masseuses, people could fully relieve the fatigue in their bodies. It also had the best food and drinks; they could make people feel warm from their stomachs to their hearts so that their tired minds could be quickly refreshed. The Land had the most interesting entertainment projects and the most exciting adventure games. They were exciting enough to make people’s heartbeats accelerate and the blood course through their body, finally eliminating their low moods. Finally, the Land had the most romantic and exciting evening activities. Some activities were luxurious enough for the rich to spend thousands of gold coins on. The Land also had the most charming women, and so the men would definitely have a pleasant night there.

Of course, Yan Xun was also a man. However, his form was a big jellyfish, so most of the projects in the Land were not suitable for him.

So he thought about it again and again and finally created a human avatar. He lowered his physique to a slightly higher level than that of an average person and then went to play in the Land.

He ate and drank and had fun on various entertainment facilities. Finally, at night, he drank iced fruit wine while bathing in the hot springs. After drinking, he fell asleep directly by the warm spring water.

When he woke up the next morning, he was already in high spirits. All the depression and frustration he had had been swept away, and he was in full swing.

Of course, all those were secrets. Yan Xun didn’t want others to know that as a god, he would disguise himself in a human appearance to play here like this. Anyway, these events were a little childish, so it would be a little embarrassing. It would be just like the head of an economic power who was said to read comic books during a serious meeting. Once it was known, it would become a big scandal.

So he was really cautious, sneaking in like a thief. Early the next morning, he sneaked away secretly and immediately took the avatar back without leaving any trace.

However, the goal of “relaxing” had been achieved. Therefore, Yan Xun devoted himself to his busy work once again.

Practice, practice, and practice.

After practicing for about another month, he felt that this method was not very reliable. He should use his brilliant painting techniques to depict beautiful rivers and mountains. The second option was to draw pictures of some beautiful girls to attract other people’s eyes. How could he use his hands to do the work of a craftsman?

A specialist was only a master in their own field. This was not his specialty!

Many masters of painting were also masters of sculpture. They could make all kinds of sculptures, including clay and wood sculptures, stone-carved sculptures, and casted bronze statues. In fact, even Yan Xun himself knew some skills of sculpture. He dared not brag about it, but at least it was not difficult for him to pinch out a cute doll with clay.

In those days, he had copied Japanese anime models to make clay dolls. He had sold them to earn pocket money, and his business had been good.

However, even if art masters came here, they would have no way to deal with such difficult technology. Even the legendary craftsmen of the top class would quit, so it was natural that he couldn’t do it either.

Therefore, Yan Xun secretly ran to the Land again. He transformed into a mortal and played for a day, no, for two days.

Then he began to work again. This time he only insisted for half a month, and he could not help but run to the Land to relax for three days his time.

If I always relax like this, I’m going to be a loser!

Shortly afterwards, the Jellyfish God, who had just ended a five-day vacation, was lying on the floor of the God’s Kingdom, staring at the sky blankly.

“Man, you can’t be too lazy...” he muttered. He was determined to cheer himself up and try to finish the work.

But he couldn’t do it. He just couldn’t.

Soul fragments were fragile to the extreme. It was impossible to eliminate some of the contents inside without affecting their integrity and firmness. However, for soul fragments, there were no such things as “integrity” and “firmness!”

If there was no living evidence in front of him, Yan Xun would definitely think that the damn pervert, the Nightwatcher, was fooling him.

“What should I do? Do I really need to take decades to slowly hone this skill? Will I eventually have strong arms like that pervert?” Yan Xun muttered to himself. He looked at the girls who lived peacefully in the box and fell into meditation.

He habitually unfolded his soul sensing, observing the souls of the girls.

Artificial souls were full of cracks, but they were not fragmented. They looked like the valuable broken porcelain vases of Song Dynasty he had seen in the museum that had a different aesthetic feeling.

However, Yan Xun could not accept such an aesthetic feeling. He tried to divide his soul power out a little and infiltrate it into the cracked soul.

The next moment, a miracle happened.

The countless cracks in the soul quickly healed. It absorbed the tremendous soul power, which was relatively insignificant to Yan Xun, and constantly made up for the cracks. In a very short time, the striking cracks began to heal from the deepest core, and eventually, the inner part was almost completely healed. There were just some traces left on the surface just like the scars left when a wound had healed.

“What?! This is good!”

Yan Xun was pleased and surprised at the same time. He urged his soul power to continue to infiltrate into it. However, when the artificial soul basically completed the whole healing process, and so the speed of absorbing the soul power declined greatly. It no longer had the sense of urgency like a few dry sponges just met with water, nor the instant miracle effect when someone gave a cup of water to a person who was dying of thirst.

His soul power was still slowly exerting its effect. However, it might still take a long time to see the results.

Yan Xun waited patiently for several days and finally saw one trace left by a crack completely disappear.

Only one trace.

However, in the artificial souls of the girls, there were hundreds and thousands of such traces.

He realized that at this stage, it was purely a time issue.

However, for Yan Xun, this had been great progress. He thought carefully for a long time and finally rolled up a soul fragment and brought it to his face with a wave of his tentacle.

“Since it’s not firm enough, then let’s start with improving the firmness.”

After those words, he put his soul power into the soul fragment. The fragment was extremely weak, and it could completely collapse at any moment.

Like magic, the soul fragment, which had almost completely collapsed, quickly solidified and became much thicker. Yan Xun rushed to use his Divine Power to pick at it and wipe it. While picking and wiping, he continued to pour in his soul power to maintain this fragile fragment.

About an hour later, he looked at the soul fragment floating in the air with satisfaction, smiling.

It was an extraordinarily firm and thick soul fragment. Compared with the nearby fragments, it was a completely different thing. They were different in the aspect of size, strength, and feeling.

The nearby soul fragments had a hanging sense of powerlessness as if they could collapse in the next instant. Only a cloud of obsessiveness still refused to disappear in it, and it maintained its existence. Just like a gambler who lost everything, although he had nothing, he still wanted to turn the tables.

However, this soul fragment was filled with a sense of firmness and steadiness. The cloud of obsessiveness had calmed down a lot, so it became soothing and calm. It was just like a successful person who had completed their lifelong career, and they were roaming on the street to enjoy the quiet scenery.

Yan Xun had erased all the unnecessary distracting thoughts in this soul fragment, leaving only loyalty and courage. The rest were simply strengthened. The original soul fragment was a crazy, overloaded truck that could only carry five tons, but was actually carrying at least 20 tons. Now, the soul fragment was a bus that could carry 30 people, but it only carried ten. They were both running on the road, and they were both large vehicles. However, the degrees of flexibility and reliability were quite different.

Based on this soul fragment, the next work would be much easier.

Yan Xun chose the soul fragments which contained the fewest distracting thoughts and joined them together in the “core” according to the method of the Nightwatcher. However, unlike the Nightwatcher, every time he joined them together, he poured in some of his soul power. At the same time, he wiped out some distracting thoughts. It was like making large clay sculptures. While increasing the weight of the mud, people still needed to repair the shape in case the overall structure would be affected.

When the most important body framework was assembled, he began to select some pieces that could be used as good filling. Unlike the Nightwatcher who only pursued the “integrity,” he naturally pursued better results since he had mastered more effective means. Therefore, Yan Xun’s goal was to produce something more perfect than the ones in the Nightwatcher’s box.

When he got busy, he forgot the time. He was really sleepless during the day and night. When he finally finished patching up the whole soul, he found that the world had come to the warm spring. The flowers bloomed, and everything came back to life.

“Hah hah! What a good day!”

Yan Xun was floating in the air lazily, laughing happily.

“Yes, it’s a good day to feel the sea breeze.”

The speaker was a girl wearing a white, soft hat with ornaments of golden eagle wings and three blue leaves on one side. The girl was dressed in black and white overalls which were simple but charming. She stood beside Yan Xun, smiling gently.

“If you want to feel the breeze, let’s go together. I’ve been busy for so many days, and I want to rest,” Yan Xun said with a smile.

“Of course, everyone should have time to rest. But how long are you going to rest?”

“A week first. It’s really been a hard time.”

“I’m sorry, but I want to remind you that even God rested for only one day after he had created the world.”

Yan Xun was stunned.

The girl knew that he had understood her hint, so she smiled and bowed, lowering her head. Then her figure gradually disappeared. She said, “Then, goodbye. I’m going to the seaside to practice my martial arts. Don’t be lazy, please!”

Seeing Oracle No. 1 under his command fading away, Yan Xun wiped the sweat from off his forehead.

“She should be a gentle and sensible secretary in my setting, how is she a workaholic? What’s wrong with her?”
