A Guide for Background Characters to Survive in a Manga - Chapter 358 : Chapter 358

Chapter 358

Ever since graduating six years ago, Su Bei had always been in this state of working three days and resting for two. It was one thing when he was in university, but who would have thought that he would still be lazing around after graduating from university, disappearing to travel from time to time? Those who knew he was an Ability user might have thought he was some kind of travel blogger!

Especially now that so many spaces had appeared in the world. With Su Bei’s strength, he could venture into any kind of space. Not only could he see scenery that didn’t exist in the outside world, but he could also make money sometimes. This also led to Su Bei often being out of contact, and no one knew which space he had gone down to.

Therefore, every time he came back, any acquaintances who were free would always come to take a look and ask him how long he would be staying this time. If they could invite Su Bei to go down to a space together, it would be even better.

“About a month.” Su Bei thought for a moment and replied, “But I won’t be going down to a space for the first half of the month.”

The “space” he was talking about referred to those spatial rifts that had not been explored much by humans yet. Ever since the third season of the manga started six years ago, several spatial rifts had appeared one after another in the world, leading to another world.

It was only at this time that everyone knew that the animals and plants summoned by those summon-type Ability users were not created out of thin air, but were brought by the spaces they were connected to.

For example, the giant dragons that Meng Huai had summoned and conquered came from a dragon race space. Later, they had also gone to that space and successfully obtained the help of the dragon race.

Of course, that was in the past. In short, after the spatial rifts came out, the status of summon-type Ability users had never been higher, and they were very popular in exploration teams.

After all, if they were heading to the world where their summons were from, then they would have a great innate advantage. Not only would they have the native summons to guide them, but they themselves would also be very compatible with that space. Having one in the team could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But that was only for the weak. For someone like Su Bei, no matter which space he went to, as long as the creatures in the space had brains, it was impossible for them to do anything to him after understanding his abilities.

What kind of enemy could be more terrifying than an enemy who could decide the fate of an entire race?

That’s right. After nearly two years of training in the third season, even though Su Bei had intentionally made himself a marginal character, he had still improved a lot under the general trend.

Whether it was leveling up on his own or using the forum to level up due to the pressure of survival, in short, he was now a recognized powerhouse in the Ability world. The weakness of not being able to use his Ability on a large scale due to the limitation of his Mental Energy had also been overcome by him. The current Su Bei could change the destiny of a group.

Unless someone could kill him in an instant without him knowing, who would dare to touch him? The method of using items to shield his Ability to prevent him from knowing that something was going to happen to him was also very difficult to work. After all, Su Bei himself knew that this was his weakness, so he naturally had many ways to deal with it.

Returning to the present, learning that he had a month of business time ahead, Si Zhaohua lowered his eyes and asked with feigned nonchalance, “Then do you want to accept a commission from my family? Help me adjust my luck for half a month first, and then we’ll go down to a space together for the latter half of the month.”

“Isn’t that a bit too much?” A female voice with a hint of laughter sounded from outside the door. “Trying to monopolize Su Bei’s time?”

The two who had long since sensed someone approaching were not surprised at all and looked at the green-haired woman who walked in with a smile.

Zhao Xiaoyu winked at them playfully, revealing a lively expression that was rarely shown to outsiders. “You have to take me with you!”

“Of course.” Si Zhaohua gave an affirmative answer, a look of reminiscence flashing in his azure eyes. “I still remember the first time the three of us teamed up was when we were kidnapped. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed.”

It had indeed been a long time, six years had passed. Zhao Xiaoyu said with some emotion, “Even the ‘Black Flash’ organization feels like a long time ago.”

But she quickly pulled herself out of her memories and said with a smile, “Then let’s not tell them and sneak away now?”

Although Su Bei was indifferent to this, he knew the situation well enough to shake his head and say honestly, “The possibility is not high. When I came in just now, many people outside left. It should be several forces.”

As someone who could change destiny, his business here had always been booming. And unlike a family force like Feng Lan’s, as a self-employed person, he was easier to win over in the eyes of others, so he received more harassment.

However, this was near “Endless Ability Academy” after all, and those forces were not powerful enough to plant spies here, so those who left should have been Jiang Tianming’s people. This was also the reason why Su Bei did not make a move.

Hearing him say this, Zhao Xiaoyu was unconcerned. “Anyway, I was the first to see him, so it’s first come, first served.”

Si Zhaohua nodded in agreement, persuading with a deep understanding of Su Bei, “If you stay here, you will face an endless stream of invitations. But if you come with us, there won’t be so much trouble.”

As soon as he finished speaking, three more people came into the small hardware store. Lan Subing complained, “Can you guys not be so much like big gray wolves trying to trick a child?”

Jiang Tianming, on the other hand, looked directly at Su Bei and said bluntly, “We’ve discovered a new spatial rift. The world inside seems to be related to worldlines. What do you think? Are you going?”

After speaking, he looked at Si Zhaohua and the others. “This invitation is also valid for you. It feels like it will be a very interesting space.”

The three people present were indeed interested. Su Bei asked with great interest, “Worldlines? What do you mean? What did you see in that space?”

Generally, when exploring a new spatial rift, one person needed to be sent in first to get a general look at the environment and the existing races to judge what kind of space it was.

It was clear that Jiang Tianming and the others had seen something interesting.

Sure enough, Jiang Tianming said with a strange expression, “It’s a very magical space. It’s like a spider’s web inside, full of golden threads. The whole world is a blank void except for these threads. All the golden threads cannot be touched, literally. I used an item to sense them, and these golden threads may be related to destiny, so I came to find you.”

They had discovered this space half a month ago and had been waiting for Su Bei to come back. Although Su Bei was not the only destiny-type Ability user in this world, having known the strongest, who would settle for second best when there was a choice?

“No problem, then let’s go on the fifteenth,” Su Bei agreed in one go. As for these few days, he had to deal with some things.

Although the “Destiny” organization was very mature and hardly needed him to do anything, during the third season of the manga, because of the strengthened connection with the government, he sometimes needed to help issue some tasks as the leader of the organization.

In addition, the things he brought out from the spatial rift this time also had to be sold quickly. It was very dangerous to keep things from a curse space in his hands. Who knew when they would suddenly explode? If it weren’t for the fact that there were always buyers, and they offered a high price, he definitely wouldn’t have brought them out.

Just as he thought of this, Zhao Xiaoyu next to him asked with a curious face, “By the way, Su Bei, where have you been during this time?”

After graduating from high school, Su Bei chose to go to university, but he did not pursue a master’s or doctoral degree or a civil service position. Instead, after graduating from university for four years, he began a life of traveling and working.

According to him, the reason he didn’t pursue a master’s degree was that he felt there was no need for further in-depth study; he just wanted to get a diploma.

It was worth mentioning that Su Bei majored in psychology in university. Although he himself said that he chose this major because he wanted to study human psychological activities, Zhao Xiaoyu seriously suspected that he just felt that being a psychological consultant was the most convenient.

In the two years after graduating from university, Su Bei did not continue to travel on this planet, but instead traveled tirelessly in the spatial rifts. In Su Bei’s words, “I can go to those places anytime, but I can only go to the spatial rifts when I’m strong enough.”

In short, when he disappeared, it was usually because he had gone down a spatial rift. Every time he came back, everyone would always ask him about his travel experiences. Not just him, but others would also share their experiences if they were magical after coming out of a spatial rift.

Although they had graduated for several years, their relationship was still very good. After all, the members of Class S had experienced so much together, so it was no problem to say that their relationship was stronger than gold.

“I went to space in the South Pole. The sky there is the most beautiful, always maintaining the appearance of a purple aurora, but it should be the personification of a curse.” Su Bei recounted his experiences unhurriedly. “There are no living creatures in this space. Everything inside is cursed, including the air. And these curses can be brought out of the space. I have already reported it to the government and marked it as high-risk.”

If it weren’t for the fact that he could check his luck at any time and had specially used an isolation suit to semi-isolate himself from this world, he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the scenery there.

Although he said it simply, no one would ignore the hidden dangers. Wu Mingbai pouted, “You say you like to laze around, but you’re actually very keen on adventure, aren’t you? You can stay in such a space for so long?”

The main reason Su Bei stayed there for so long was to collect intelligence for the “Destiny” organization. Since I was already here, wouldn’t it be a waste of a trip if I didn’t collect a copy of all the curses in space and put them up?

However, as for liking adventure, that was indeed a bit true. Su Bei did not deny his words and said with righteous indignation, “I like to take meaningful risks.”

Either there was scenery, or I could make money, or I could improve my strength. It had to be one of the three; otherwise, it would be a hassle for me.

The destiny space that Jiang Tianming invited them to was one that could enhance his strength in his opinion. A thread with the aura of destiny? He already had some guesses. Whether it could enhance his strength or not, it would definitely be very interesting.

He had a feeling that he might really be able to touch those threads.
