Chapter 779: Locked Area

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but complain inwardly:

The upper class sure plays with some bizarre stuff...

Suddenly, a man lying with his eyes closed on one of the nearby devices suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly, angrily tearing off the connector on his head while cursing loudly: “Fuck! How dare they slap me!”

“Sir, what happened?” A nearby staff member, who had been standing quietly, quickly approached.

The man cursed while grumbling, “You actually let me possess the body of a student who had an exam today!”

Talking about it made him even more furious.

The upper, middle, and lower ten districts all had different time zones. He had possessed someone from the lower ten zones, where it was noon.

Just as he figured out where he was and was about to go out and explore, a woman appeared, telling him to study well and take the afternoon exam.

Was he possessing someone just to take an exam?

But he didn’t argue. He grabbed his bag and left, pretending to head for school.

He had barely wandered around for twenty minutes when that woman, probably informed by the teacher somehow, found him, slapped him without a word, and then he woke up.

The man yelled and ranted for quite a while, and Qiao Sang watched with great interest from the side.

The staff member calmly explained, “Sir, we did mention beforehand that the possession target is random. No one can guarantee what identity the host body will have.”

“However, if you wish to limit the area range, we can adjust it for you.”

The man snorted coldly, “Forget it.”

After speaking, he lay back down and reattached the connection device.

The moment he put on the connector again, an elderly white-haired man on another device also sat up, gasping for breath, his face full of terror.

“Sir, would you like to try again?” The same staff member walked over and asked politely.

The old man sat in a daze for a while, then finally nodded and lay back down.

The staff member helped him reconnect the device.

Watching all this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “It doesn’t seem like they’re enjoying the experience at all. Why do they keep doing it?”

The reception staff smiled and replied, “That’s because we have extensive data showing that multiple experiences of 'Soul Dive Across the World' help improve brain domain development. There was once a prominent figure who hadn’t improved his brain domain in over twenty years. After just one experience here, his brain domain increased by 0.5%. He has since become one of our regular clients.”

Playing this could actually improve brain domain...

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up in realization. She instantly understood why those two men kept going back despite their unpleasant experiences.

No beast master could resist the temptation of brain domain enhancement.

Especially the older generation of beast masters, whose brain domains hadn’t improved for a long time.

Although she had been taught since childhood that brain domain couldn’t be enhanced through external means, she had consumed Veil Serum before, and she knew-

Some things simply weren’t accessible until you reached a certain level.

Those people in such elite circles, who held political power, social resources, and the right to distribute natural resources, would never let such valuable things trickle down to the public.

Pirite raised his brows slightly.

“That so-called prominent figure never improved his brain domain again afterward, right?”

Brain domain enhancement had always been a top research priority at the major elite academies.

Though Pirite wasn’t directly involved in those studies, he still knew a bit about it.

In most such cases, it was usually due to the person’s first out-of-body experience stimulating their neurons, causing a rare, isolated increase.

Generally, the older a person was, the stronger that neural stimulation from a first-time out-of-body experience.

If simply possessing others could truly enhance brain domain, this method would’ve been published and widely adopted long ago.

After all, even their Imperial Beast University had studied this field extensively.

“That’s beyond what I can know.” The staff member replied smoothly, without showing any cracks in his composure.

Then he looked at Qiao Sang and asked, “Would you like to try it, Miss?”

Qiao Sang paused to think, then recalled what the other staff member said earlier. She asked, “Didn’t you say the area range can be locked?”

Honestly, at this point, brain domain improvement didn’t tempt her much.

Her brain domain had always grown rapidly without much effort on her part.

However, if she could lock the target area, there was indeed a place she wanted to check out right now.

“Yes, it’s possible.” The staff replied.

“But the farther you are from 1st District, the less accurate the area-locking will be.”

“If I want to lock the area within this island, would the position-locking be very precise?” Qiao Sang asked.

Island?

Pirite’s eyes narrowed slightly in puzzlement.

He couldn’t understand why Qiao Sang, who was physically already here, would want to soul dive on this island.

The staff member was briefly stunned but then politely replied, “In that case, the position-locking would indeed be quite accurate. However, there may not be many qualifying targets.”

“I want to dive near the Energy Pool, inside the barrier.” Qiao Sang said.

Pirite’s expression instantly became complicated, he understood now.

The staff member looked confused at first but then seemed to realize something and respectfully explained, “Please rest assured, Miss. Absorbing energy inside the Energy Pool is completely safe and harmless, as long as no one forces absorption when it’s not possible. Under normal conditions, there will be no incidents.”

He paused, then added, “Moreover, there are no humans or beasts inside the barrier…”

Qiao Sang interrupted him, “Didn’t you say it’s possible to possess regular animals too?”

The staff member froze again.

Due to customer feedback, he knew that almost all customers who came here for this attraction wanted to possess humans first.

Some more adventurous ones would try possessing pet beasts for fun, but hardly anyone ever chose to possess ordinary animals.

In fact, most customers never even considered they might end up in the body of an ordinary animal.

He really hadn’t expected this young lady to willingly choose to possess a regular animal…

But since the customer had spoken, the staff said no more.

Under the staff member’s guidance, Qiao Sang lay down in an empty device. After some brief adjustments, the staff helped her put on the connector.

“Xun!”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to close her eyes, Little Treasure suddenly popped out, waving his paw excitedly, clearly wanting to play too.

“Can pet beasts play this too?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Sorry, I’m afraid they can’t.” The staff member replied apologetically.

“Xun…”

Little Treasure instantly drooped.

“There are plenty of other entertainment projects here. I’ll take you guys after I get back.” Qiao Sang comforted.

“Xun…”

Little Treasure gave a resigned sigh.

Well, it couldn’t be helped.

“Yap yap…”

Yabao glanced at his Beast master, then at Little Treasure, completely baffled about what was so fun about this.

“You may close your eyes now.” The staff reminded.

Qiao Sang shut her eyes, and immediately felt her head spin.

When the dizziness eased, she opened her eyes again.

What greeted her sight was a thick canopy of green leaves.

Peeking through the gaps in the leaves, she saw a familiar figure in the green waters of the Energy Pool.
