Chapter 386 Extreme Scouting Capabilities


    A bunch of passengers alighted at the Fentan City railway station. One of them was the duo of In and Wittral.


    The moment his feet touched the tform, In''s eyes scanned through the crowd, using the entirety of his artistic sense to pay attention to detail, observing the people, their attire, bodynguage, and their actions, ''None are paying attention to us. Good, it seems there aren''t any people here rted to the reincarnates for the time being.''


    "Let''s go." He spoke to Wittral in a hushed voice and left the railway station. The duo eventually arrived at a hotel situated the farthest from Arlfarah Mansion in the city.


    If any reincarnate had arrived at the city already, they would have established lookouts around Arlfarah Mansion. So, heading there now would be no different from revealing themselves. Depending on the foundation of the reincarnates there, they might have employed people to keep tabs on anyone who came into the vicinity of the mansion, irrespective of their identity.


    In didn''t wish to have a tail on him this early in the game. ''It''s a thirteen-year marathon. I can''t get exhausted so soon.''


    "Wouldn''t it be cheaper to rent a single room?" Wittral asked upon seeing In fork out a decent sum of money to book two rooms for a week.


    "It bes harder to train in that case," In spoke curtly and finished the payment. The duo headed to their respective rooms to retire for the day.


    To mingle with the affairs of Fentan City, In nned to open a tea house with Wittral. He was good at brewing a variety of drinks, not just tea. So, he could take care of the brunt of work without issues, thanks to Subtle Terrain Domination which allowed him to manufacture arge batch of drinks in a single sitting and maintain perfect quality.


    In would focus on ambience and serving the customers, using that to mingle around with people of the ce and gather information. Besides, this was the easiest choice to keep Wittral mostly hidden from the public eye.


    The biggest advantage of this option was the fact that both Wittral and In''s female forms used Mystic Mist Art. Meaning, they worked with fluids. He could influence all his customers to behave as he wanted, little by little, for more than a decade.


    When the timees, as the Brimgan Empire marches into the region influenced by the Major Treasure of Attribute, many would avoid harming him.


    The drinks he serves would influence the customers, making them less inclined to harm In in a battle situation. And simrly, if faced with Mammoth nsman, they''ll focus more on the reincarnates than the Mammoth nsmen.


    The Mammoth nsmen and Brimgan Empire cultivators would war against each other, as once the Major Treasure of Attribute reveals itself, a lot of precious resources would appear, including some Minor Treasures.


    The reason the Empyrean Tusk herd took such a loss and contested for the Major Treasure of Attribute was due to the sheer value of treasures present in the ce. It was worth dying for.


    From precious Elixirs that had soaked and refined Prana for centuries to millennia, to minerals that had developed to partially disy a semnce of sentience, etc. Items unlike anything witnessed by both Mammoth nsmen and Brimgan Empire Free Humans would make an appearance, spiking greed to unimaginable levels.


    Hence, war was inevitable. In only hoped that when the Free Humans faced the Mammoth nsmen, they would target the reincarnates more and hold them back long enough for In to get his hands on the Major Treasure of Attribute.


    The tea house was the key to that n.


    Morning, the next day, In brought in a bunch of materials that he had purchased from the nearby market and dumped them in Wittral''s room, "Here."


    "You want me to start already?" Wittral was surprised. "Can''t I rx for a couple more days?"


    "I hoped to have a house of our own adjacent to the tea shop." In spoke with a sullen tone, "So, I want to hurry up and establish ourselves in this city. It seems I''m the only one excited for…"


    "I was just kidding," Wittral shed a smile in a hurry as he grabbed the items in a fluster, "I wanted to make some drinks already. Ah, man! I love brewing stuff!"


    "I''ll inquire about details regarding potential shop locations and their rental value." In said and exited the room, heaving a sigh in relief once he left the hotel, ''It''s getting harder to fool him.''


    Wittral wasn''t a fool. He had a pretty great head above his shoulders. He was merely inexperienced, which was why In could control him until now. But the longer he stayed with In, the more he learnt about a variety of subjects.


    The exposure caused him to grow at a terrifying pace. He wasn''t a perfectly born Empyrean Snapper for nothing. By now, no matter how much In put on an act, Wittral had a decent idea regarding his character.


    He had his own thoughts and goals, one of which was to start a family with Amita. He had already begun to move in that direction, subtly making arrangements in that regard. It was why In refrained from staying with him in the same room.


    He wasn''t a cold-blooded monster. And his female form was more emphatic than his male form. If he continued to stay with Wittral, it was just a matter of time before he started valuing thetter as someone important to him.


    Whether Wittral was important as a friend, ally, or coborator didn''t matter. As long as In began valuing him, it presented Wittral with more than enough opportunity to forge a rtionship.


    That was why In reverted to his male form every night and actively negated the emotional influence in his mind that had been generated by his female form. This way, he could continue thinking of Wittral as a mere tool towards his goal and not someone important like Gann or Asaeya.


    Both his genders were his natural state. Therefore, if In allowed both to develop freely, his mind would copse and result in a split personality disorder. He''ll be screwed when that happens.


    ''It wouldn''t matter once I get the Attribute. I need to keep both genders in check until then.'' He thought and sighed in response. Once the Bolt of Transcendence hits him, he will take advantage of it to refine all his powers into a form influenced by him, ensuring all negative effects and influences are destroyed.


    By then, he wouldn''t face any serious issues with both genders acting as they pleased. But until that point, he would have to exercise utmost caution.


    Walking along the street, In wore a kite-shaped hat to cover his bald head and proceeded slowly, in silence, having a lot to think about. He strolled across the streets of Fentan City and observed the shops there, calcting to see which would present him with the highest rate of sess. ''It needs to be close enough to Arlfarah Mansion with significant traffic of wealthy customers with high cultivation.''


    The greater the number of Body Stage Free Humans acting as traffic for his tea house, the higher his rate of sess. Hence, he needed to determine the most optimal location…


    He stopped suddenly, growing hair that covered his head and sprouted bangs that shielded half his eyes, masking most of his feminine face. Though he was far away, he was cautious. No, cautious was an understatement.


    From a distance of four kilometres, too far away for the target to detect him, In gazed, taking advantage of his exceptional eyesight that was simr to a bird''s. He stared at the seated figure of Orakha talking to a woman in a restaurant.


    His mind turned strangely calm as his lips quivered, forming a faint smile as he muttered, letting out a cute chuckle, "Found one."
