Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 159 - 148: How to Hit Someone Through the Internet

Jiang Ning heard Xue Yuantong's words and looked towards the monitor screen.

In the game interface, within the chat box, a string of nicknames spewed wild words, continuously clamoring and claiming that Xue Yuantong was a grade-schooler.

"Kill him a few more times," Jiang Ning said.

"He's almost a ghost now, just standing on the high ground, daring not to come out, only typing there," Xue Yuantong fumed, her teeth itching with annoyance.

Having said that, Xue Yuantong rushed to the high ground and killed the opponent in a second.

"Giggle~"

Jiang Ning wondered if there was a possibility that Xue Yuantong had broken the opponent's defense with her kill?

"If he were in front of me, I would definitely give him a harsh beating!" Xue Yuantong clenched her small fists and said resentfully.

Wait, it was supposed to be that Jiang Ning, the number one general under my command, should deal with him for me!

Hearing this, Jiang Ning paused, the words of Xue Yuantong indeed providing him with some enlightenment.

He suddenly remembered that he had once encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator who was rumored to be an Imperial Princess of the Central State Dynasty.

In their duel, the Imperial Princess could actually utilize thunder to leap great distances almost instantaneously.

If it weren't for Jiang Ning's use of a spatial confinement spell, locking the space so she couldn't leap, she might have indeed escaped.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning caught her, coerced the secrets of the Thunder Method out of her, and then placed it in the Luoyun Sect's treasury.

That method allowed the analysis of lightning for use in leaping.

Initially, Jiang Ning analyzed it with formulas, but the workload was enormously large and, coupled with his existing escape techniques rivaling the Thunder Method, he weighed the pros and cons and eventually gave it up.

During the analysis, he discovered that this cultivation technique was extremely profound, involving electromagnetism. If Jiang Ning, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, could comprehend this technique, perhaps he could really use electromagnetic waves to find people. However, a Nascent Soul Cultivator's Spiritual Sense covered at least ten thousand miles, and within that range, a simple scan could locate that person, making the secret method unnecessary.

Additionally, electromagnetic waves seemed to be used in wireless transmission; solid medium like optical fibers and network cables seemed to use other methods to transmit signals.

Looking at it this way, it was still impossible to use the Thunder Method to locate the person at the other end of a network cable.

However, Jiang Ning was not someone who gave up easily; he mastered hundreds of people-finding techniques, including some involving divination.

These divination skills weren't the type to predict the 'Ziwei Emperor Star' and then speculate that the person must have the aura of an emperor, leading to self-harm by predicting fate and vomiting blood loss in life length.

Such bizarre divination didn't exist in the Cultivation World, where cultivating was already defying the natural order—there was no chance that a mere divination would backlash.

Divination was often used as an adjunct to arrays, for observing celestial patterns, predicting future weather, or for tracking shadows.

Jiang Ning's ideal state was to capture a signal with a spell, lock onto the opponent, and then go teach them a lesson with his Flying Boat.

Jiang Ning sent his hypothesis about Spiritual Power to Shao Shuangshuang, asking her to prepare funds and contact domestic and international research teams in electromagnetism and signals, hoping they would quickly provide a solution. Then he could use Spiritual Power and Spiritual Sense to experiment and improve.

Upon receiving the information, Shao Shuangshuang replied:

"Actually, it doesn't need to be that complicated. With our current scale of Evergreen Liquid, we might be able to directly contact the internet company, pay a little, and get them to give you the other party's IP address."

"No need, just stick to my plan," he replied.

IP addresses might not be accurate, perhaps the opponent was using the internet at an internet cafe.

Jiang Ning preferred to have the initiative in his hands; what he wanted was a technique to instantly lock onto others and find them.

Thinking about these things, Jiang Ning looked at Xue Yuantong grinding her teeth in anger.

The internet magnified human nature, producing countless eccentric characters.

The last time Jiang Ning searched for Spiritual Objects on a forum, he had been slandered but didn't care.

However, in the network, even if one was slandered or cyberbullied, evidence was hard to obtain. It could be that after countless efforts and money spent, you find the person, only to discover that the actual account holder is an eighty-year-old grandma.

Jiang Ning didn't trust IP addresses for that reason, hence, through the network cable, he was determined to plant a Spiritual Sense mark on the other party.

Once he figured out the technique related to network cables, he would definitely punish all kinds of keyboard warriors.

...

Even though Xue Yuantong was ridiculed as a grade-schooler, she was massively addicted to the internet, playing all morning without even making lunch.

Jiang Ning went to her house and used his Spiritual Power to fry two dishes and brought them to her computer desk.

She ate the food during the matching interval.

During Jiang Ning's cultivation period, Aunt Gu called:

"Jiang Ning, Tongtong isn't answering her phone. Tell Tongtong that Chuchu will come to our house later, I'll return home late."

"Yes, okay."

As Xue Yuantong's game was about to end, Jiang Ning informed her about Xue Chuchu.

"What? Chuchu is coming," Xue Yuantong smacked her mouse and arrogantly said, "Wait and see, I'll show her how I slaughter in the game!"

Xue Yuantong clicked off the opponent's crystal, then rose from her leather chair, but she staggered and almost crashed into the screen.

Jiang Ning grabbed her collar and gently boosted her with Spiritual Power, placing her on the bed.

Xue Yuantong dodged a bullet and was just about to thank him when a pain shot through her calf.

"Ouch, my leg is numb," Xue Yuantong rubbed her leg, her face in pain.

"Jiang Ning, help rub it for me, I've lost feeling, my leg is gone!" Xue Yuantong stretched her leg towards Jiang Ning, as her mother used to rub it for her when it went numb.
