Chapter 32: Reality Strikes You Down, Gaining the Lesser Divine Skill "Rain Summoning"

Page 1/3

Tomoyo chased after with her video camera from a distance. Sakura fluttered back and forth, yet Ye Hui felt that Tomoyo’s pace was not slower than Sakura’s at all... Is this really the director’s skill?

“Ye Hui, you’re here!” Tomoyo greeted him before turning back to continue filming.

“It seems I don’t even need to intervene—Sakura has already figured out how to deal with this Clow Card...” Ye Hui watched as Sakura borrowed the power of the Water Card.

Finally, the Water Card transformed into a water sphere, trapping the little girl formed by the Rain Card inside.

“Return to your original form, Clow Card!” The Rain Card was captured!

At that moment, Kero flew over, complaining loudly, “How unlucky! All the clothes I washed got soaked by this annoying guy...”

Ye Hui tilted his head, puzzled, “Why do you still have to do laundry as a guardian beast?”

Kero suddenly had a furrowed brow: “I want to know why I have to do chores too...”

However, he quickly thought of the snacks Sakura had prepared for him and immediately lost his spirit again.

No choice! Who told him he was a gluttonous guardian beast!

With the Rain Card successfully captured, Sakura ran over just as Ye Hui and Tomoyo were talking about copying the footage.

“Last time, we had footage of Kinomoto-san capturing Clow Cards in pajamas; now we see her in casual home clothes capturing one. This is really something to treasure...” Ye Hui rested his chin on his hand, generously offering Tomoyo some emotional value.

Sakura: (╬ಠ益ಠ)......

[Kinomoto Sakura’s emotional value +36]

Another black history entry for her, oh no!

But at least this time she wasn’t wearing what Tomoyo said were the clothes a magician should wear when doing chores.

At least it was much better than pajamas!

Sakura comforted herself bitterly.

“Kinomoto-san, can I take a look at the Rain Card?”

“Ah, of course!”

Sakura’s expression instantly brightened.

Taking the Rain Card, the affinity task automatically completed.

[Ding! You have completed the character affinity side quest—“Competitive Spirit”!]

[You never expected that the monster you faced carried the bloodline of an ancient divine beast. You were easily defeated, but at the critical moment, your protector Tomoyo saved you...]

[You wanted to stand out but were brutally brought back to reality. You realized the gap in strength and decided to improve your own power first. Fortunately, you once found a secret magic tome that can extract the monster’s bloodline to enhance your aptitude.]

[Ding! You have obtained a low-grade divine ability “Rain Summoning.” You can check the talent details in the talent section.]

“Huh? Divine ability?”

Such a grand thing—can he really have it now?

Ye Hui rubbed his eyes.

But then he confirmed again.

It really was a divine ability!

This cultivation mini-game incorporated divine abilities from classical xianxia novels.

Rain Summoning was one of the divine abilities.

However, with levels, and being low-grade, it probably wouldn’t be very powerful.

Now Ye Hui understood.

“So it’s just an entry-level reward. Even if I’ve collected the divine abilities ‘Call Wind and Summon Rain’, I can’t use them yet.”

His spiritual power was definitely insufficient to support such divine abilities.

But this low-grade divine ability could be used by him.

Good!

Ye Hui’s expression changed multiple times.

Sakura’s eyes were full of worry.

Why was Ye Hui always like this?

Did he have some illness? Or was the power of the Clow Cards too strong and had an impact on him?

Ye Hui opened his eyes and softly exhaled, “Alright, thank you, Kinomoto-san, here you go!”

Sakura tilted her head, “Ye Hui, are you really okay?”

“Ah? Of course! On the contrary, I’ve learned a new skill!”

Tomoyo was comforting Kero at this time.

“...Well, the clothes that got washed aren’t that dirty. They just need a quick rinse before drying...”

Sakura said, “I didn’t expect everyone to come so early. Please wait a moment; I’ll do the chores first...”

Ye Hui looked at the room, which had become messy and dirty again, and said, “Let us help you...”

[Kinomoto Sakura’s emotional value +8]

“Is that okay? Won’t it be too troublesome...?”

“No, I just comprehended the Rain Card and grasped a bit of divine power. Maybe I can help,” Ye Hui said.

He was about to try out his Rain Summoning ability.

“Divine ability?” Sakura’s eyes sparkled.

She and Tomoyo watched Ye Hui cast a spell, summoning clouds of mist that sprayed over the furniture, floor, and glass.

The mist then transformed into droplets, flowing and gathering to drain away on their own...

Soon, the Kinomoto residence was completely refreshed.

The places that needed cleaning were sparkling clean.

“Eh?! Cultivation is really convenient!”

[Kinomoto Sakura’s emotional value +5]

Why couldn’t her Clow Cards be like this?

Tomoyo blinked her big eyes: “With magic, life does seem much more convenient.”

[Daidoji Tomoyo’s emotional value +3]

Sakura lowered her head again: “But Ye Hui said I can also understand the magic on the Clow Cards, yet I have no clue where to start...”

“That’s not true!” Kero explained beside her, “Actually, Sakura doesn’t want the Clow Cards to do chores for her. She thinks that would trouble the cards too much!”

Sakura paused.

Huh?

Did she really think that?

Ye Hui glanced at Kero.

This guy surprisingly had a moment of high emotional intelligence.

The floors and furniture were all cleaned thoroughly.

Sakura quickly brought out some things.

Tomoyo and Ye Hui waited a moment, and after Sakura excitedly led Kero out, the group soon got into the car and headed to the forest park.

“Today, I designed new clothes for Sakura. I plan to film scenes of her strolling through the forest...”

Sakura: @-@ Eh?

The car drove very smoothly but not slowly.

It felt like no time passed before they arrived.

After getting out, the group entered the forest park.

—The forest was also an essential map in the game.

Usually, small monsters, events, merchants, and caves would spawn in forest maps...

But upon arriving at the forest park,

Ye Hui’s imagined secret realm did not appear.

What use was that system after all...

[Ding! New map unlocked. Please remember to check.]

Oh?

A new map appeared?

“Sorry, system, I complained too early!”

Ye Hui hurriedly checked the system map, too distracted to watch Tomoyo filming Sakura.

As for Kero, he was busy eating the lunch Tomoyo brought and the “spiritual meal” Ye Hui had made.

Ye Hui looked over the mini-map again and again.

His face immediately darkened.

“System, in the real world, forests should be the places most like secret realms—quiet, mysterious, rich in species. But here, you actually don’t have any secret realms?”

They called it a new map, but it really was just a map.

No secret realms, no ruins.
