77 Chapter - Let Ye Yao Enter The Loop
“As the saying goes, to control power, one must first learn to use power.”
Ye Yao paced back and forth in front of Wu Mi, looking very much like a little teacher.
Although she only had a superficial understanding of such matters, she could fully compensate with her comprehension.
Wu Mi nodded obediently, listening very carefully.
“Since you can impose the power of a {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} cycle on people, you must also be able to remove the power of a cycle; you just haven’t mastered this ability yet.”
Ye Yao said seriously.
According to Wu Mi, those affected by her ability had not yet been released from the cycle.
They should all be under special care by the Countermeasure Bureau; it’s impossible for them to be left unattended.
“Wu Mi, since the ability disaster was unintentionally caused by you, it must ultimately be terminated by you as well.”
“Hmm… I already had that thought, but I can’t do it yet.”
Wu Mi lowered her head, recalling the people she had harmed.
The girl with beige long hair couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
Although there were no fatalities thanks to the Countermeasure Bureau’s handling.
However, the longer the delay, the greater the loss to the victims’ subsequent lives.
Thinking of this, Wu Mi felt overwhelmed with pressure.
A sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.
Ye Yao saw through Wu Mi’s thoughts, placed her hand on her head, and gently patted her.
“Don’t get distracted. If you don’t know what to do, I’ll teach you.”
“We have plenty of time now. Don’t underestimate my astonishing comprehension!”
“Even if it’s not my ability, I’ll crack it for you to see!”
“Okay, okay! I’ll cooperate fully with Ye Yao.”
Wu Mi was swept up by Ye Yao’s passionate tone, and couldn’t help but let out an energetic sound.
Ye Yao led Wu Mi from the room to the courtyard.
Xia Lian was sulking at the edge of the rooftop.
By doing so, she expressed her sadness at being isolated.
However, Ye Yao knew very well that she was putting on a show.
Ye Yao was quite sure that if she called her name, she would immediately jump down and shamelessly stick close to her.
Her inner thoughts were completely exposed.
Ye Yao simply ignored her.
Anyway, falling from upstairs wouldn’t hurt a single hair.
Ye Yao refocused her attention on Wu Mi.
“Wu Mi, can you actively use your ability?”
“…I haven’t tried.”
A blush of embarrassment appeared on Wu Mi’s face.
Currently, her progress in developing her ability was equivalent to zero.
She couldn’t even use her ability.
The early ability disaster was entirely due to a passive ability.
She was practically the number one mascot of Sequence Zero.
However, Ye Yao completely understood.
Wu Mi had closed herself off on the day she awakened her ability.
Her behavior was like a robot stuck in an endless loop.
How could she even think about the uses of her ability?
Afterward, when she was taken away by the Countermeasure Bureau, she quickly fell into a cycle.
When she was taken away by Mu Luo, she still quickly fell into a cycle.
Most of the time, she was closed off.
Although she had successfully broken free from the cyclical state during this period, it seemed she hadn’t had the chance to learn how to use her ability.
If it were Ye Yao herself, she would also be staring blankly.
But it’s not too late now.
“First, try to see if you can use it.”
Ye Yao planned to let Wu Mi try freely first.
Maybe she’ll have a sudden flash of inspiration?
Back then, when Ye Yao first awakened her ability, she quickly figured out how to use it.
Wu Mi nodded, then closed her eyes.
“Ugh…”
Then her fair, delicate face quickly turned red from straining.
Ye Yao was dumbfounded on the spot.
“Are you holding your breath?”
Why is this loli so adorably clumsy?
Compared to Mo Qiuli and Luo Jianhua, why does she seem a bit… not so smart?
Wu Mi finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and let out a long breath.
“I, I can’t do it…”
“That’s perfectly normal. If you could, I’d willingly turn into roadkill on the highway.”
Ye Yao grumbled speechlessly.
Xia Lian on the rooftop couldn’t help but let out a “pfft” of laughter, though she quickly suppressed it.
Ye Yao recalled the feeling of using her own ability and earnestly instructed Wu Mi.
“Ahem~ First, you need to understand your own ability.
You already know it’s a cycle, and you know what you’ve passively done.
Since there are precedents, you should align your thinking with those successful cases.”
Although bringing up Wu Mi’s painful past again felt a bit cruel.
But this was for the sake of resolving those tragedies.
Whatever was most efficient, that’s what they would do.
Fortunately, Wu Mi wasn’t a simple fool.
To have been held to such strict standards by her mother, she at least had some intelligence.
Normal parents would have already started a new game if their child was that foolish.
Ye Yao nodded in satisfaction.
It’s good to be thoughtful!
This is a child with infinite possibilities in the future!
Ye Yao herself had already been thoroughly seasoned by pure numerical values.
She didn’t want to use her brain at all, only wanted to slack off until she was invincible.
It perfectly illustrated what it meant for someone who played numerical-based games for years to only stare blankly and drool.
Ye Yao gave another hint.
“Since you already know that the conditions for creating a cycle require an abstract starting point and ending point.
Then look around and see if there’s anything that can help you find these two elements.”
Wu Mi looked around her surroundings.
She then walked up to a tree in the courtyard.
Wu Mi looked up at the dense leaves, and a look of understanding seemed to appear in her eyes.
Just then, a gentle evening breeze blew past.
A leaf detached from a branch, like an irreversible loss of hair during a mid-life crisis.
That moment of separation was etched in Wu Mi’s mind.
“…This is the starting point.”
The leaf slowly fell to the ground, becoming part of the scattered leaves, like heading towards its final resting place.
“This is the ending point…”
Ye Yao quietly watched from the side, suddenly feeling as if Wu Mi had entered a state of enlightenment.
Then she looked at the panel.
【Ability: Cycle
Mental Strength: 34 — 80】
Ye Yao: “?”
Flying Dance System, look at her!
Is this increase reasonable?
So enlightenment, one of the three ways to improve, can increase so much!
Ye Yao herself, even after adding all her unallocated attribute points, still wasn’t as high as Wu Mi.
Fortunately, Ye Yao’s competitive spirit wasn’t particularly strong.
Her desire to slack off remained steady.
She was just growing more and more excited about family activities.
This method of slacking off while gaining attribute points was too perfect for her!
What three major ways to increase mental strength?
Not needed at all!
Wu Mi walked to the leaf that had fallen on the ground, then slowly squatted down and picked it up.
The next second.
The leaf seemed to be endowed with some power, slowly detaching from Wu Mi’s fingertips, floating back to its original branch.
Everything would eventually return to its starting point.
Under Ye Yao’s gaze, the leaf ultimately could not escape its fate of falling, and once again drifted down to the ground according to its original trajectory.
The end point was right there.
But the peculiar scene wasn’t over yet.
The fallen leaf slowly disappeared, silently returning to the branch, and the cycle connecting the starting and ending points was thus formed.
Wu Mi’s face broke into a surprised smile, and she immediately threw herself into Ye Yao’s arms, tears of joy welling up in her eyes.
“This is great! Ye Yao, I succeeded~ I can control this power, thank you!”
“That’s normal~ Wu Mi is truly amazing, she makes me, Ye Yao, see her in a new light.”
Ye Yao gently patted Wu Mi’s back, allowing the petite girl to vent her emotions.
Being suppressed for too long always requires a moment of release.
When Wu Mi had mostly calmed down, Ye Yao slowly spoke.
“Then next, Wu Mi, you should use the power of the cycle on me.”
Wu Mi quickly snapped out of her joyful mood.
And then fell into confusion.
“Let Ye Yao… enter a cycle?”
