My Divine Diary
chapter-555

After observing the process of transforming ‘Source’ into Source Beads at close range with his divine sense, Su Hao seemed to understand something, but he wasn’t very sure.

In his divine sense perception, after the ‘attraction’ broke, the hollow piece of broken wood seemed to lose some kind of restraint, gradually transforming into a quasi-excited state, exceptionally active, reaching a certain critical state of complete eruption, and then, under the action of a special force field, attracting and aggregating together.

Like iron filings being drawn to a magnet, it appeared chaotic but was actually orderly.

Almost in an instant, all the quasi-excited state substances converged on a certain point in the center, aggregating together to form pure Source Aggregates.

But in the process of intense collision and aggregation, a certain amount of energy was released, causing these pure sources to separate from each other, disintegrating into uniform Source Beads.

That’s the process, but there are still many unresolved phenomena.

For example, what exactly restrained the hollow piece of broken wood, preventing it from aggregating into Source Beads all along;

For example, what kind of force caused the hollow piece of broken wood to aggregate together, forming pure Source…

To answer these questions, it’s not enough to rely solely on observing this natural disaster. Su Hao needs more comprehensive data.

He collected the scattered Source Beads and casually placed them into his storage space. After observing the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, he soared into the sky and flew off in a random direction.

There’s nothing more to say, just continue to search for various types of disasters, natural disasters, Source Beast disasters, strange disasters, any type is welcomed.

…

After Su Hao had flown for about three hours, the acidic fog had not yet dispersed, and a rookie Source Team cautiously approached the acidic fog disaster, finally stopping outside the acidic fog disaster.

A blond teenager of about fifteen years old, who seemed to be on a mission with the team for the first time, exclaimed nervously, “Sigh—Is this the natural disaster we’re dealing with this time? It looks terrifying at first sight. How do we go in and solve it?”

A glamorous woman of about thirty, with a smiling face, looked at the blond teenager with affection and said softly, “This is the simplest natural disaster. Da Lan, don’t worry, Sister Captain will protect you. Oh, hehe!”

The teammate, a man with a crooked nose, muttered in his heart when he saw this, “Since when did Captain Nalin speak so gently? And why can’t I be called Sister Captain, but this newly joined blond kid can call her sister non-stop? It doesn’t make sense.”

After the three of them investigated the situation, they put on protective suits and gas masks and slowly entered the acidic fog.

Captain Nalin smiled and approached the new team member, explaining the value of being a sister captain herself, “Da Lan, come closer to Sister, and I’ll tell you how to find the core of the natural disaster. Finding the core, Sister is the best at it. Oh, hehe!”

Blond Da Lan followed Captain Nalin’s words and approached her slightly, making the teammate with the crooked nose feel sour in his heart, even more so than the acidic fog around him.

This team, he’s afraid, might just be one too many! Sigh~ The difference is just too big. Most importantly, he doesn’t understand where he falls short.

Next, the three-person team wandered around in the acidic fog, but they couldn’t find where the core of the disaster was.

The blond teenager Da Lan exclaimed, “Doing missions is really not simple. I didn’t expect the core of the easiest natural task to be so hard to find.”

Captain Nalin couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, “This shouldn’t be happening!”

After a few comforting words, they continued their search, but they almost wandered through the entire range of acidic fog without finding where the source of the fog was.

As the sun was about to set, the acidic fog gradually weakened and finally dissipated.

Blond Da Lan looked puzzled, “Captain Sister, why did the acidic fog disperse? Have we already solved the natural disaster?”

Both Captain Nalin and the teammate with the crooked nose were baffled.

Captain Nalin awkwardly smiled and said, “Right! Indeed, the disaster has been resolved!”

Blond Da Lan exclaimed, “Captain Sister is really amazing! Unknowingly, she solved the natural disaster, just walking around like that, and the acidic fog just dissipated. I haven’t even figured it out yet.”

Nalin and the teammate exchanged a glance, both seeing the embarrassment in each other’s eyes.

The teammate suddenly had a thought and leaned closer to Captain Nalin, whispering, “Could it be that a mage passed by here and casually solved the strangeness?”

Nalin nodded, “Seems like that’s the case.”

The teammate sighed, “Unlucky~”

Nalin said, “Let’s forget about this place. We’ve accepted two disaster tasks today. Let’s go to the next task location!”

As the sky grew darker, the three-person team arrived at the location of the second strange task, this time a mountain fire disaster.

Then, the three of them searched until midnight, but they didn’t find the core of the disaster, and the mountain fire gradually died down, plunging the world into complete darkness.

Blond Da Lan was completely shocked this time, “Captain Sister, you’re simply too amazing! You inexplicably solved another natural disaster!”

Nalin and the teammate: “…”

…

As Su Hao wandered around, solving one disaster after another, he collected enough data for Xiao Guang to identify various types of disasters. Coupled with the ‘Disaster Identification’ function he wrote, almost nothing could escape within a range of 200,000 meters of radar scanning.

Finding disasters became a very simple matter. As long as he flew high in the sky, even if he was flying like a tourist, lying half down while reading a book, he could easily identify various disasters.

With increasing experience, he gradually summarized the approximate locations of the disaster cores, usually hitting the mark, and solving various disasters, excluding the time for experiments, in just about five minutes.

One year passed in the blink of an eye.

It’s as if nothing has changed at all; people eat, drink, sleep, work, boast, and make babies… Just like before, everything remains the same.

Except for the Source Mages in some areas.

In the past year, their lives have undergone some changes, becoming more frugal, not daring to spend money as lavishly as before.

The reason is that in the past year, the Mage Association has been issuing fewer and fewer disaster tasks, directly affecting their income. Some source teams haven’t received a task for several months, barely making a living on their previous savings.

Now, everyone is waiting in the hall of the association’s auditorium. As soon as a new task is announced, regardless of anything else, they rush to accept it…

There’s a rumor going around: Recently, similar situations have occurred in several large regions nearby. Based on various clues, it can be inferred that a powerful source team is wandering among these regions, not even accepting association tasks, but directly and frantically solving the disasters that appear everywhere…

The source teams who hear this rumor sneer at it.

Such nonsense is only good for fooling children. No normal person would believe it! How could any team solve most of the disasters occurring in several large regions within a year, making it difficult for other source teams to find tasks?

Impossible!

Some self-proclaimed smart individuals analyze with facts and reasoning: Drastic changes in the natural environment have led to a decrease in disasters… Conclusion: Source mages might end up unemployed in large numbers!

This conclusion, spoken, makes many source mages panic: They originally thought being a source mage was a high-end profession, a secure job, but they didn’t expect they might lose their jobs…

Regardless of the thoughts of these source mages, Su Hao is unaware. After sweeping disasters for a year, he finally collected enough data and decided to stop.

On this day, he teleported back to the experimental base and took out the source devices he had collected over the past year, neatly arranging them on the test bench.

Wooden sticks, cloth dolls, hourglasses, wheels, spears, stones, bones… They come in all shapes and sizes.

But the abilities these source devices possess are not as simple as their appearances.

These abilities were named by Su Hao as: ‘Perseverance’, ‘Life in All Things’, ‘Squeeze and Drop’, ‘Chasing Shadows’, ‘All Balloons’, ‘Flip Around’, ‘Each to Their Own’, ‘I’ll Hit You’…

Each one more bizarre than the last.

For example, ‘Perseverance’ allows one to alternate stepping on their left and right feet and quickly ascend to the sky, or lift themselves by their own neck when needed.

For example, ‘I’ll Hit You’ causes anyone targeted by hostility to autonomously take off their pants, bend over, and wait for a spanking with a slipper.
