【True Name Precepts】

[The precept requires one to respond swiftly to anyone who calls one's true name, and one must never use a false name.]

[Effect: Whenever someone calls out Xino's name, Xino will feel a slight itch on the tip of her nose, serving as a warning.]

This secret technique of discipline was created by Hino himself, inspired by his past experiences. After all, his name came from his father's sneeze, and the opportunity to change his fate also came from that sneeze.

He himself seems to be naturally good at these kinds of intuitive things.

His name and sneezing seem to have some kind of secret connection.

According to what his father found in the aristocratic family, their ancestors may have possessed a causal characteristic.

This characteristic has some features that are ingrained in one's bloodline.

Hino has regressed to his ancestral ways.

Chapter 776 Game

However, in these seemingly casual notes written on the ground during research, Xinuo's little bit of secret technique is basically just some scraps.

Hino then quickly went to the table.

He had seen some metal sheets placed here before.

The first and most obvious thing is the metal plate placed in the middle, on which a will is written in fine inscriptions.

"My lifespan is limited, so this research will end here." Hino picked up the metal plate and read the contents on it softly.

"I learned this after I got out of there, but it's enough that I got out."

"I will quietly return to the melody, becoming a note above it. I can be revived by need, but I'll leave it alone otherwise."

"I left behind two copies of my research; one to be sent to the library, and the other to be kept here."

"Let those who are interested later take it for themselves."

“Chivis Granvia”.

There are many parts of this suicide note that Xinuo cannot understand.

What does "that place" mean?

What are musical movements and musical notes?

What does "recovery" mean?

"Could it be some kind of custom regarding death?" Hino knew that some places had customs that made it taboo to talk about death.

"Or perhaps this person is a follower of the god of music?" He had heard that there was a true god who was the god of music.

With this in mind, Hino continued to examine the remaining metal pieces.

Then Xinuo couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Because apart from the metal plate containing the will, the remaining five metal plates each recorded a technique, which together constitute a complete set of cultivation methods.

The first image shows a breathing technique, specifically the 'Cause and Effect Breathing Technique'.

It needs to connect with other people and then breathe through those connections.

After completion, it can condense the characteristic 'sensation'.

The second image is about swordsmanship, which made Xinuo frown slightly because it is a modified version of the Sword of Fortune, which connects the existence of fortune with cause and effect, making it more causal.

"It seems this place is connected to the outside world, which is why the demon's swordsmanship was able to spread here." Hino's emotions were very complicated, because the Sword of Fortune was indeed very useful.

Even those in the Discipline Church had to study it.

Many church members consider this act of learning the techniques of one's enemy to be an insult.

The third metal plate contains a secret technique.

This secret technique allows people to perceive cause and effect to a certain extent.

The fourth metal plate contains a potion. Using certain materials, a special potion can be made. After taking the potion, one can review their past and examine the causes and effects of their past.

The fifth metal plate is a ritual. After performing this ritual, one can gradually integrate one's own causal network and possess a powerful causal characteristic.

If this set of knowledge were made public, it would be enough to make many gold mines fight tooth and nail for them.

However, it's just sitting here like this.

Hino felt a little dizzy and began to question the authenticity of these things.

This thing is so valuable that he feels he doesn't deserve to have it.

So much so that he once again wondered if he had truly entered the Kingdom of God.

With this in mind, Hino immersed himself in this knowledge.

He found that Chivis Granvia was a very capable scholar who could explain his knowledge very thoroughly.

Even if he were just a Black Stone species who understood cause and effect and had a little related talent, he could still understand this kind of gold-level knowledge.

Then he had an epiphany: it wasn't that he understood it, but that the knowledge made him understand.

From the moment he entered the house and chose to pick up those metal pieces, the causal relationship between him and Chivis Granvia began to intertwine.

That is why he was able to understand this knowledge so easily.

And it was quite natural for him to conclude that if everything went smoothly, he would only need about ten years to complete a whole set of cultivation and become a golden seed who had mastered the characteristics of cause and effect.

"It probably involves some kind of fate-related ability. I was chosen because I have a talent for cause and effect." Xinuo was overjoyed after reaching this conclusion.

He was quite talented. If it weren't for his teacher constantly urging him to hone his faith, and the subsequent invasion of the Azure Whale by Nemus, he probably would have already obtained the necessary resources to become a Steel-type.

"Ten years... I will definitely return to Azure Whale after ten years, overthrow the rule of Nemus, and let the glory of God shine on Azure Whale again!" Xinuo made a vow.

Then he knelt down and thanked the God of Discipline for the blessings He had given him.

After all, that's the doctrine of the church: as long as one keeps the precepts, then a corresponding blessing will appear upon oneself.

In Shino's devout heart, he believed that he was able to have this extraordinary encounter entirely because he had faithfully observed the precepts.

After Xinuo finished his prayers, he was about to stand up when he realized that his legs were weak.

It was only then that I belatedly realized that I had been studying those principles of cause and effect for more than a day.

I survived the day entirely by sheer physical strength.

He was so hungry that his stomach was practically touching his back.

So Hino went out of the house, wanting to see if there was a tavern or something similar in the town.

However, after wandering around, Xinuo still couldn't find a place to eat.

Wanting to leave the town to go hunting in the countryside, they discovered that the town was surrounded by guards.

The guards looked like they were ready to fight at any moment, and without knowing the true situation in the town, he was still hesitant to go out.

Hino had a terrible headache. This town was so strange; it was as if no one needed to eat.

"It's as if...they don't need to survive." Thinking of this, Xinuo suddenly realized the strangeness of the town.

People gathered together to form towns, hoping to live better together.

However, although the town has a large population, it lacks a sense of everyday life.

The lack of food is one aspect; it also includes the lack of growing vegetables, raising poultry, and everything else related to food.

Secondly, there are no shops, as if no one here needs to buy anything.

These necessities for people's lives could not be found in the town.

Growing increasingly wary, Xinuo then heard arguing nearby.

Several people were seen surrounding and beating one person.

"Kross, you'll lose badly next time!" the leader said after beating the man.

Upon seeing this, Xinuo immediately shouted, "Hey you over there, what right do you have to hit people?"

The questioning attracted the attention of the assailant. Upon seeing that it was Xinuo, the man didn't even bother to answer and turned to leave with his men.

Hino was furious. He couldn't stand seeing the majority bullying the minority, and he was about to chase after them and question them loudly.

However, the next moment, Klose, who had been hit, stood up and came to his side.

"New guy, stop shouting, this is just a 'game'."

Chapter 777 Game World

Xinuo's expression froze, realizing that she had gotten carried away again.

He was bullied like this when he was a child.

Being born out of wedlock was a disgrace in his social circle at the time.

Therefore, he is more concerned about situations where there are many people bullying the few within a circle.

One of the reasons for their piety is that this problem is completely absent within the church community.

He had never been bullied like this in the church; he had always received kindness.

He was powerless before, so he was unable to resist.

Now that they have the ability, they naturally like to stand up for others when they see such things.

However, the fact that the other party immediately recognized him as a newcomer made them realize that their behavior had exposed them.

“Even in a game, you can’t bully people like this,” Hino said, trying to steer the conversation away from the topic of her being new.

"Haha, you don't understand." Kross chuckled and patted Hino on the shoulder.

Then they heard Xinuo's stomach start to rumble.

"Let's go, I'll take you to get something to eat," Kross said, pulling Hino aside.

Xinuo sensed that the other party's attitude seemed to be without malice, which made her feel slightly relieved. It seemed that being new to this town was not a bad thing.

As they walked, Klose said to Hino, "The so-called game is essentially a war that we started out of boredom."

“?” Hino frowned. The word “war” is not simple; it’s not something that can be used for everything.

"Hehe, you'll find out later." Klose didn't intend to explain immediately; some of the details were beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

And this time he has already lost badly enough.

There's nothing we can do about it; his understanding of the concept of divine war is simply not deep enough.

“In the Sleeping Town, because of the limited space, much more is hidden beneath the water,” Cross said.

Although she already knew that this town was not simple, Xinuo still felt incredulous when she heard Kloss utter the word "space".

The very mention of this term serves as the best evidence that the Sleeping Town is no ordinary place.

Because if they were truly ordinary people, they would most likely not know what space is, or even understand the word itself.

The knowledge in the world exhibits a clear gradient.

Many of the concepts and terms are technical terms that ordinary people don't need at all.

Hino had contact with these people; they only knew some simple everyday words, didn't understand written language, and didn't know any slightly professional terms.

When faced with slightly complex situations, their language becomes extremely chaotic and illogical.

Therefore, most clergy members do not like to communicate with these people.

They said they couldn't even speak human language.

Hino could only smile wryly at this. At first, she would try to argue that it wasn't their fault, but later she stopped saying anything more.

Now that Kloss, a person who has been bullied, is using such professional terms, combined with all the strange things happening in the town, Hino finally understands that the people in the town are definitely not ordinary people!

Just as Hino was pondering what exactly was going on in this town.

"We're here!" Klose said.

Then Hino saw that he was taken to a library.

On the other side of the library, there appears to be a church.

However, from his current location, he couldn't see the church's front sign and therefore couldn't determine which deity it worshipped.
