Chapter 227: Yuanbao Also Needs to Study

“Yuanbao, do you have any plans lately?”

Su Wen opened a document, ready to type, but suddenly turned to ask.

“To serve the God of Wealth, I will do my best to provide snacks, drinks, and tea while the God of Wealth creates theoretical books to make the flowers of martial arts bloom ahead of time,” Yuanbao replied without hesitation.

“No rush for that.”

Su Wen said softly, “I can tell you’re pretty free and don’t have much going on.”

“Since you’re so free, go find some books on audiovisual language, film history, drama history, film aesthetics, and other theoretical works about audiovisual art. You should study a bit.”

Last time in the Theater World, while analyzing the death projection, the God of Theater mentioned that the shot language in the death projection was awkward, making it uncomfortable to watch.

Compared to the stunning shot language in movies and various writings on audiovisual art, Yuanbao’s projection in the future timeline did feel a bit off.

Even though the God of Theater just mentioned it casually, Su Wen remembered it.

During many days of review, he found it quite unpleasant to watch the death projection.

Besides, Yuanbao’s last death projection was noticeably different from the first Time and Space Projection.

The experience felt different when comparing the cinema-like screen ratio to the original cubic shape of the first one.

Since little Yuanbao could change the projection method, wouldn’t it help to learn about this for their future review and analysis?

In other words, why watch something so jarring when it could be more enjoyable?

Of course, there was also a less important reason: while his counterpart in the sub-timelines was studying like crazy, he in the main Time and Space needed to prepare his books.

Yuanbao was so free beside him that it made him a bit uneasy.

If both Gods of Wealth in the two timelines were studying, how could little Yuanbao keep up with his pace if he didn’t study too?

So, it was time to hit the books!

“Huh?”

Yuanbao was confused. He had to study too?

“Do you have a problem with that?”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow and asked gently.

“No, no!”

Yuanbao quickly shook his head and said, “I’ll start studying right away, beginning with film history, diving into the development and changes of this comprehensive art.”

The God of Wealth’s tone was so gentle that it scared him.

He worried that if he didn’t agree, the God of Wealth might do something outrageous.

Like taking away his Little Gold Vault.

That would be terrifying!

Compared to such a disaster, listening to the God of Wealth and studying audiovisual language and composition didn’t seem so bad after all.

“That’s more like it!”

Su Wen smiled and said, “By the way, since you’re not busy yet, could you grab me some snacks from the drawer over there?”

“I tried some of Xiao Feng’s snacks last time, and they were really good.”

After Yuanbao placed a large bag of assorted snacks next to Su Wen, he held one snack in one hand while his other hand danced effortlessly across the keyboard.

As a Fourth Rank Warrior, multitasking was a breeze for him.

…

Meanwhile, at the fate bearer headquarters.

“Sigh…”

Wealth Spirit walked into the fate bearer headquarters with a troubled expression and sat down in the hall. He watched the fate bearers passing by, his gaze growing distant.

He had followed the Star God’s orders and ventured into the Arrow Realm of Magic City No. 09.

Though the Star God had assured him that the Bug Spirit Clan wouldn’t harm him and even gave him a protective chess piece, he couldn’t help but panic when he saw swarms of glowing green bugs rushing toward him.

But the Star God was right—the bug swarm didn’t harm him. Instead, they took him to a lavishly decorated palace and treated him with great hospitality.

After learning about his profession and purpose, dozens of humanoid Bug Spirits came forward to speak with him.

This led to him staying in the Bug Spirit Realm for a while.

During his stay, he met several powerful Bug Spirit warriors and, after getting to know them, formed partnership contracts.

Among them was even a king-level Bug Spirit!

This was a huge win!

With his current sixth-level strength, having a king-level contracted beast was incredible!

But before he could fully celebrate, the Bug Spirits shared a lot of information about the God of Wealth.

They mentioned that long ago, the Bug Spirit Clan had followed the God of Wealth.

If the God of Wealth were still around, his transformative power could have led the Bug Spirit Clan to a profound liberation and possibly even a complete resurgence.

According to the Bug Spirit Clan’s historical records, in ancient times, the God of Wealth’s power had awakened the ancestral strength hidden deep within their souls.

With this ancestral strength and the power of enlightenment, the Bug Spirits could transform into various powerful life forms to fight and grow stronger.

If they hadn’t lost this transformative ability, how could they have fallen so low?

The Snow Spirit Clan, which was barely a footnote in the ancient records of the Bug Spirit Clan, was once considered insignificant by the ancient Bug Spirits.

But all of that ended with the fall of the God of Wealth.

In truth, the Bug Spirits’ friendship with him was born out of shared hardship. They treated him well because they sympathized with his plight.

After all, the Bug Spirits had lost their chance to rise, and he, Wealth Spirit, had lost his opportunity to reach king-level.

In fact, his situation was arguably worse than theirs.

Just then, the musician arrived with his team to pick up a mission, preparing to explore the Arrow Realm.

When he noticed Wealth Spirit sitting nearby, he paused.

“You’re back?”

“Captain, I’m back.”

“Good to have you back! Do you want to rest now, or are you coming with us into the Arrow Realm?”

The musician sat down beside Wealth Spirit and asked.

He knew that Wealth Spirit had been carrying out a task under the Star God’s orders.

“Let’s go together,” Wealth Spirit said after a moment of thought. “I was supposed to report directly to the Star God, but when I submitted my report, I found out he’s in seclusion.”

“I’ve already written everything the Star God asked me to do in my report.”

“Once the Star God finishes his seclusion, he’ll see my message.”

“So there’s no point in me sitting here waiting. Besides, going into the Arrow Realm together means we can watch each other’s backs.”

The musician patted Wealth Spirit on the shoulder and reassured him, “Don’t worry too much. Trust us—once we all grow stronger, we’ll take care of you.”

Wealth Spirit nodded. “I know. So until everyone gets stronger, I’ll be the one protecting the team.”

The musician narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by that?”

“It means I’ve got a king-level partner now, so I’m probably the strongest in the team!”

“???”

…
