"Strange, is someone talking about me..."

Gu Mo gently took a handkerchief to wipe his nose, frowned slightly, and waved his hand lightly with the other to dismiss the maid.

Having reached his current level of evolution, almost all aspects of life can be self-controlled, such as choosing to turn off the redundant function of body temperature emission, which is a waste of energy. Such incredible self-control is very strong... Even this avatar now is just simulating flesh and blood.

Much like a Heroic Spirit Servant, its essence is the embodiment of magic power, borrowing from this form of existence.

It's a solidified body for more conveniently walking and moving daily, simulating all necessary physiological phenomena. It bleeds, can breathe, but ultimately results from the embodiment of magic power.

Moreover, he possesses the skill "Self-Transformation," naturally capable of doing similar things... However, he hasn't entirely deleted or shut it down, choosing instead to leave them selectively, partly to preserve personal habits and partly to serve as a reminder, akin to a trigger.

Like a sense of celestial being connection, tingling instincts before major events...

Regardless of anything else, his spiritual realm has transcended to such a degree that it's as if he observes divine will. Naturally, he's imbued with this passive mystique. It can be considered a unique extraordinary trait from his spiritual breakthrough transcendence, also because it results from a soul-level metamorphosis—

As an extension of his thoughts, his avatar can enjoy the same treatment.

Furthermore, within the mysterious domain, certain widely spread beliefs exist. For example, sneezing when someone talks behind your back, left eye trembles for wealth, right eye trembles for disaster; he can connect these notions through some wondrous means, transforming them into a series of odd passives.

This means that those superstitious sayings are real for him.

It's a kind of mystique that responds to feelings, a way of premonitory self-reminder.

Putting down the book in his hands, Gu Mo thoughtfully extended his spiritual power outwards, letting a vast divine will swiftly scan over the ever-changing city—for after all, two months have passed, and the upgrade patch has indeed been sent over, allowing this avatar to mend previous shortcomings.

Despite the Dungeon World's time flow speed being different and far faster than the real world.

However, the reality isn't just passively waiting; with the deep subconscious sea's control plan gradually advancing, a small portion of the network nodes has been controlled... It seems like a small portion, but considering the network consists of seventy billion people's brainwaves interwoven, its computing power is indeed intimidating.

Gu Mo's computing power and efficiency have considerably surged, naturally making remarkable progress, allowing him to quickly come up with solution even if not much time has passed in the real world.

Yet, after several scans, Gu Mo did not discover any issues, except identifying a few more enemy country spies... These guys keep popping up like weeds after rain, persistent and endlessly cropping up, making him speechless.

Recognizing them as technical talents at least, who came to seek him, Gu Mo doesn't bother too much.

Picking up the phone on the case desk, the opposite side was answered immediately; he casually gave orders before hanging up. Then, the opposite side swiftly mobilized, vilely completing assembly within the city, implementing arrests precisely at various locations almost without disturbing the populace.

Baffled spies pressed onto the ground and tied up, looking utterly perplexed...

Then they were carried by beings emitting cold auras, specially customized mechanical golems resembling ordinary human appearances. These golems carried targets through nearby hidden paths into the underground city.

The underground city, dug continuously day and night, currently only exists as a prototype, without other uses for now; mostly for strategic considerations and for initiating subway laying soon, also connecting with the void below Rice Leaf Mountain.

Many top-secrets are hidden underground currently, astonishingly drawing spies' wide-eyed curiosity. Some diligent ones even pondered sending these fascinating pieces of information back and earning a grand achievement...

As such ideas circulate, they are brought by mechanical golems to a Learning Device.

Despite diligence, they will be more loyal afterward.

......

"Turns out it's Layman Guoxin again, but there's not much trace left by this Heart Demon, a bit overly cautious..."

After scanning the city multiple times with spiritual power, Gu Mo suddenly grew thoughtful.

During a meticulous inspection, he discovered traces of Ootakemaru's negative thoughts avatars' activities. Thinking about it, this Heart Demon is quite active, aiming to stir chaos and incite war, and couldn't possibly lack action entirely. Especially during this time, the interior of Mino has been rather unstable.

First Dou San abdicated, transferring power, reshuffling everything.

Then Gu Mo initiated his plan, instigating massive reforms in various aspects, aiming to transform all of Nongzhou.
