Chapter 76: The Location of the Third Strategy Device

Leaving Autumn Loft, Yun Xuan found it difficult to calm his mind.

Shui Wuyue Bai? That name was so familiar, there was no way he could forget it.

“I never expected Shui Wuyue Bai to have crossed over into this world. So, what stage is the Naruto storyline at now?” Yun Xuan glanced at the strategy device in his hand.

All the answers would become clear after the fusion.

That girl named Bai handed the strategy device to Yun Xuan and reached an agreement with him.

If Yun Xuan mastered ninjutsu and performed it for their organization, Hidden Mist, he could truly become the master of Hidden Mist; for now, Hidden Mist could only provide intelligence.

Yun Xuan put the strategy device into his spatial backpack right in front of her, finally easing her worries.

As for Hidden Mist’s super notebook, Yun Xuan didn’t bother to take it back.

…

Returning home, Yun Xuan chose to fuse.

“Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 1,500 exchange points, your spatial backpack has gained 10 slots, and you have unlocked the shared ability: Crossing Worlds!”

“Shared ability—Crossing Worlds: Allows travel to the original owner’s world.”

Traveling once still cost 10,000 points without any discount. Shui Wuyue Bai’s strategy device still contained some items.

A diary, ten talisman papers, a physical technique manual, a ninjutsu book, and a small box containing blood.

Yun Xuan opened the diary, scanned and translated it with the super notebook, and began to read.

…

January 1.

Today seems to be New Year’s here. Bai prepared many delicious dishes. If only Lord Zabuza could come here with me.

January 10.

Bai’s physical techniques are impressive and she learns quickly. Unfortunately, there’s no chakra here—only I can use it.

January 20.

Only 153 explosive tags left. My experiments these days have nearly used them all up, but thankfully, after improvement, the tags can be used by ordinary people. All you need is a fuse or to stick them somewhere; they detonate instantly upon destruction.

February 15.

The manuals for physical techniques and ninjutsu are finally ready, but sadly I can’t show them to others.

September 15.

I wish I could see Lord Zabuza one last time before dying. Ninjutsu is ultimately no match for firearms. I hope the next to come will keep my DNA safe. If only someone could research the bloodline limit of Ice Release. Shui Wuyue Bai…

…

After reading the diary, Yun Xuan felt as if he saw a young man continuously exploring and becoming a person of modern society.

Sadly, he was eventually killed by hot weapons; otherwise, he could have lived at least another decade.

“Naruto’s world, huh?” Yun Xuan still felt a certain anticipation, but what mattered most now were exchange points and means of protection.

“Wait a minute, the Culinary Academy and Totsuki Academy from ‘Food Wars’ are very similar. And the rise of martial artists in China… Could it be…” Yun Xuan suddenly thought of many things. Were the changes in this world caused by those predecessors who crossed over?

Yun Xuan pondered. Tomorrow was the 29th, the Gourmet Banquet was scheduled for August 1st, and he needed to confirm the attendees in advance.

The emoji packs were long finished and ready to upload at any time. The manga had been handed over to Ding Dang. As for the casting and supervision for ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica,’ Yun Xuan had confirmed August 2nd as the date.

“In that case, it’s not time for sleep yet.” A thought flashed through Yun Xuan’s mind.

He wanted to investigate all scientific research institutions in China to search for clues about the strategy device, a task that required the help of a supercomputer.

That supercomputer at Liu Pharmaceuticals could serve as Yun Xuan’s investigative tool.

…

Early the next morning.

Fangyu City Airport.

“Xuan, be careful this time. Don’t say anything rash,” Yun Xun’er had been anxious since dawn, knowing the guests for the Gourmet Banquet.

“It’s fine, Sister Xun’er. I’m the mentor of Ao Xue from the East. You’ve tasted her cooking—shouldn’t you know?” Yun Xuan replied with a smile.

“Alright…” Yun Xun’er still felt uneasy.

“Brother, you’re the best!” Yun Xue clenched her small fist, cheering for Yun Xuan.

“Okay, I’m off now.” Hearing the boarding announcement, Yun Xuan waved and left.

After takeoff, Yun Xuan sat by the window, notebook in hand, jotting something down.

“One glass of orange juice, please.” Yun Xuan called out to the passing flight attendant.

The flight attendant glanced at Yun Xuan, eyes lighting up.

“You’re the champion of the Xingyue Cup, the artist Yun Xuan, aren’t you?” she leaned in and whispered.

“You know me?” Yun Xuan looked up, surprised.

“Yes, I watched the replay of the Xingyue Cup. Didn’t you know? Many TV stations are rebroadcasting the competition.” As she spoke, she pulled out a small notebook.

“Could I get your autograph?” She blushed.

“Of course.” Yun Xuan quickly signed, his handwriting somewhat messy but identical to what he used in the competition.

“Thank you! Here’s my phone number.” She tore out a page, handed it to Yun Xuan, and hurried away.

Yun Xuan looked at the phone number in his hand, puzzled. What did this mean?

Thinking for a moment and catching the envious gaze of a nearby middle-aged man, Yun Xuan instantly understood—so that’s what it meant. How open-minded.

…

At the airport in the capital, Yun Xuan disembarked and tossed the slip of paper into a trash bin without a second thought.

Checking the time, it was only ten in the morning.

“Never expected the strategy device to be in that place—how unexpected. I overlooked my current fame,” Yun Xuan put on a pair of toad sunglasses and a hat.

Leaving the airport, Yun Xuan hailed a taxi.

“To the Chinese Academy of Sciences,” Yun Xuan said.

The driver glanced at Yun Xuan and said nothing, heading toward the Academy.

Within half an hour, Yun Xuan was standing before the Academy’s tall building.

He had never seen what the Academy looked like in his previous life.

The building before him was fifteen stories tall. Four soldiers stood guard at the entrance, armed, and entry required fingerprint authentication.

“No high-rise buildings nearby, only the main entrance. Without Ice and Snow, it would be impossible,” Yun Xuan observed from a nearby alley.

His fingers tapped, and instantly all the Academy’s cameras malfunctioned, followed by shrill alarms—the fire alarm.

“Combat moment!” Ice and Snow said coldly.

The world fell silent. Ice and Snow flew to the top floor of the Academy, broke in from the roof, and in less than three minutes, returned from above.

Ice and Snow landed beside Yun Xuan—exactly four minutes.

“Combat moment ended,” Ice and Snow announced.

Yun Xuan immediately switched off the alarm and exited control, making it seem like the Academy’s own intelligent system had malfunctioned.

He put away Ice and Snow and looked at his phone. The strategy device was on the shelf in the director’s office on the top floor.

Also missing were some of the director’s collectibles—all replaced by gold bars by Yun Xuan.
