Chapter 689 - 458: New Creator Permissions! (4,300 words)

[Unlock failed, attempting third unlock]

What’s going on?!

Xu Xin was momentarily confused, staring at the bead in his hand.

[Little Treehouse Core], yes, it was just an ordinary-looking treehouse core.

[Unlock failed, attempting fourth unlock]

He suddenly looked up, staring at the giant python still watching him with its scarlet vertical pupils.

At this moment, the python’s huge pupil was very close to him, even just a dozen centimeters away. This sudden glance truly startled him.

But...

What is up with this big guy?

It seems like...

It’s observing me.

Does it know that obtaining this treehouse core will instantly unlock my creator permissions?

[Unlock failed, attempting fifth unlock]

Also...

Xu Xin looked down, staring at the little creature in his arms using its tiny paws to pat the treehouse core in his hand.

This little guy was also eager to hand this thing to me just now.

Could it also know something?

"Ying?" Keke tilted its little head when it saw Xu Xin looking at him.

[Unlock failed, attempting sixth unlock]

Xu Xin’s head was somewhat in chaos.

So, what exactly is happening now?

Forget it, doesn’t matter!

[Unlock failed, attempting seventh unlock]

Let’s see what new ability I have!

[Unlock failed, opening partial creator permissions for you: Mind Reading]

??

Mind reading?!

Is it what he’s imagining, that kind of mind reading?

He immediately opened his watch, swiped twice, and searched for this new ability in the treehouse system project.

Soon he found a separate option called Mind Reading in the treehouse system.

He clicked on it immediately.

[Mind Reading: Allows reading the thoughts of native creatures of this world. In the presence of the ability owner, their inner thoughts will be exposed.]

[The mind reading ability strengthens as spiritual power increases]

[Current quantified spiritual power: 786 points, Spiritual Power Level: Ordinary.]

Goodness, it really is mind reading!

However, this "native creatures of this world" means...

’Has he gained new abilities, why can’t I see anything...’

"Huh?!"

A female voice suddenly appeared in Xu Xin’s mind, startling him.

Gained new ability?!

He immediately looked up, staring at the giant python in front of him?

That voice just now, was it from it?!

’Why is he being so dumb? Has he awakened or not, can’t he say something!’

The woman’s voice originally felt gentle, but now it’s evidently tinged with a bit of impatience and worry.

"...Is it you?" Xu Xin asked as he looked into the scarlet pupils staring at him.

Due to the proximity being a bit too close, he instinctively stepped back two steps.

The giant python’s head slightly twisted.

’Is he talking to me?’

"Yes, I’m talking to you." Xu Xin nodded at the Blood Patterned Python.

So it’s her...

Turns out she’s female.

This mind reading voice can even distinguish genders.

’Huh?’

The python was slightly stunned at first, then suddenly retracted its massive head.

’What? Wait, what does he mean? Can he know what I’m thinking?’

"That’s right." Xu Xin immediately nodded.

Since this python knew about his creator permissions, he didn’t hide it.

"I can indeed hear your current thoughts because my new ability is mind reading."

He directly told his ability to the python in front of him.

’Ah?! Mind reading?!’

The giant python raised its enormous head again, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a hissing sound like a threat.

The powerful hiss scattered the insects crawling and flying normally around, making them scatter abruptly.

Even the few giant beasts nearby turned their heads to look this way.

’There’s actually such an ability?!’

The python opened its mouth wide, looking like it was about to eat someone.

If Xu Xin couldn’t understand her thoughts, he might have tried to escape immediately.

Luckily, the mind reading ability let him know that this big guy not only wasn’t hostile to him but was actually here to help him unlock abilities.

"So, what is going on? Why..."

Xu Xin asked doubtfully, wanting to learn something from the python.

’Oh no, run! I can’t let him read my thoughts! If he knows about that, no, no, I can’t think about this! Think about something else! Ah, Wind God Winged Dragon’s eggs are delicious! Just a bit small!’

Xu Xin’s mind was immediately filled with the python’s scattered thoughts, and then she suddenly turned around and ran.

Speed astonishingly fast!

The python’s body was like an express train moving, almost creating an illusion.

"Ying??" Keke uttered a puzzled sound, not understanding why the giant python suddenly turned to run.

"No! Why are you running!" Xu Xin didn’t expect such a thing to happen, getting a bit anxious, "Wait for me!"

He wanted to stop the python from leaving, to ask her something.

But... he doesn’t have the ability to stop her.

The power difference is just way too huge!

’Go away, go away, don’t even think about knowing what I’m thinking!’
