I’ll Quit Being a God Chapter 7: Goodbye “Shopkeeper” (Two Thousand Eight Hundred)

A person.

A woman.

An ordinary woman.

A nondescript voice, nondescript facial features, average height, slightly chubby figure, and a light expression.

Wearing a white chef's uniform that is common in restaurants, with an apron tied around the waist, making the outfit look less plain.

Really ordinary.

Not at all like Concubine Dongjun Yan, she is a peerless beauty who is not inferior to Su Daji in terms of aura and appearance. She can amaze the world just by standing there.

But... I don’t know why, but Concubine Dongjun Yan is so beautiful in person, Guan Junyan still prefers this ordinary female chef in front of him.

Perhaps this is the power of habit, or... you don’t think your mother is ugly?

"Come back?" He said calmly as always.

"I'm back." A smile more relaxed than before.

"Anything you want to ask?" The shop owner naturally walked to the familiar recliner and sat down.

"I want to wait for you to say it first." Guan Junyan glanced outside the door, ducked over and closed the store door.

"Are you so sure that I'm not a fake? The vixen in your body can use the same technique. If you get a few more tails, you might be able to do it even better than me."

"To be conservative, I would say eight or nine points. I am still somewhat special."

Guan Junyan pointed to his eyes and spoke ambiguously.

The shopkeeper can quietly manifest the golden crow and live in his mental world, so he may not be unable to see his own specialness.

Rather than hiding it, it’s better to make it clear and test it out along the way.

After staying with the vixen for a long time, Guan Junyan became more and more accustomed to the way of thinking of thousand-layer cakes.

Of course, the most important of these eight or nine points is the feeling of familiarity and the system - there is no indication of this. So far, only the incarnation of the "store owner" can achieve this.

"Speciality that even I can't understand is not special at all." The shopkeeper said this, eliminating the remaining one or two points out of ten.

"Although you are special, I still can't see through your origins. I can see through ordinary clones and disguises at a glance. I once suspected that you were an illusion, but after careful contact, it didn't feel like it."

"That's because you don't understand what true illusion is. It's not appropriate for me to answer this question."

"Who should it be?"

"Of course I am."

The vixen's voice sounded from the depths of the heart lake, and as the white mist filled the air, the vixen's figure appeared in the store.

It is worth mentioning that in Guan Junyan's mental world, the vixen is still sitting under the tree of heart, lazily watching his three tails "fight".

"Illusion?" Guan Junyan asked.

"Of course." The mental image and the vixen in reality said at the same time, "Is it realistic enough?"

I haven’t seen your...cough!

"Enough, but——"

Guan Junyan stretched out his hand and passed his arm directly through the vixen's chest without any hindrance.

The latter shouted exaggeratedly and covered his chest with his hands: "There are perverts."

Unfortunately, both Guan Junyan and the shop owner didn't agree with her, and looked at her expressionlessly. The vixen had to put down his arms angrily and said listlessly:

"Little man, first tell me your knowledge of illusion."

“Disrupt people’s senses, make wrong perceptions, and cannot distinguish between illusion and reality.”

"Excellent summary. In simple terms, illusion is like this. Generally speaking, it interferes with vision and hearing to produce illusions and auditory hallucinations. The higher the level of the illusionist, the more senses it can interfere with. Just imagine if all your five senses were under my control——"

"Hiss~" Guan Junyan took a breath.

Sight, hearing, smell, touch, these are the five ways human beings perceive the world.

Everything you know is constructed from information obtained from these five information channels.

Once someone takes full control of you, that person will completely dominate your world.

He can see whatever he wants you to see, hear whatever he wants to hear, and can even let you fall in love or even get married with a completely non-existent person.

When I think about it... I suddenly feel a little inspired. Please be sure to give me a copy of "Through the Looking Glass", Aizen's version. Thank you.

"Don't be so hasty to marvel, this is just an entrance into the house." The vixen used three tails to replace his hands and dangled in front of Guan Junyan, "Let me find two more tails, and I will be able to perfectly simulate my own image. You can touch wherever you want, even a little more extreme."

"..." Guan Junyan was indifferent.

"..." The shopkeeper was indifferent.

The synchronization rate is 95.8%.

The remaining four and two did not escape the vixen's eyes. While exuding an intoxicating fragrance, he came closer and said:

"You think it's fake, so you reject it? If I don't tell you, how will you know the truth?"

Guan Junyan said nothing, took a step back, pointed to his eyes, and then to his temples.

"Talent, this kind of thing is hard to say, and there are also things like the sixth sense that are not very reasonable, but it is not impossible to crack, as long as the illusion is advanced enough."

"If the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high?"

Guan Junyan thought for a moment and understood what the vixen wanted to express.

His biggest reliance is the system, but the system is actually also embodied in the form of a visual panel. If an illusionist knows the style of the panel and simulates it to look like a real panel, he will be fooled again.

"Yes." The vixen nodded first and then shook his head, "But this is not the highest state of illusion, the ultimate pursuit."

"That's——?"

"The ultimate goal of illusion is not to confuse the fake with the real, but to replace the real in the true sense. Dominating a person's senses is nothing. If you can create a 'world' so that no one can distinguish the real from the fake, what do you think? Is that still an illusion?"

Hearing this, the four characters "The Matrix" popped up in Guan Junyan's head for no reason, a product of extreme virtual reality.

When it comes to that point, he really doesn't care whether he lives in virtuality or reality, especially when reality is still so cruel.

I swallowed involuntarily and said, "Is it really possible?"

"Who knows. There is a saying in India that the entire world is a dream of the Lord Brahma. When Brahma wakes up, the dream is broken. There seem to be similar sayings in other places. For example, the essence of this world is actually a huge mirage. We are all living in it, and this is probably the ultimate pursuit of illusion - when I grow a tenth tail, maybe I can try it."

"Dominate the world?"

"How could it be possible? Just take a small step first. Create a unique existence that is recognized by the whole world, cannot distinguish true from false, and can think independently."

"This is also an exaggeration."

Being able to do this kind of thing is definitely a transcendent level. The gameplay of the ancient giant is truly extraordinary.

"By the way, remember to tell me your preferences. When the time comes, I will create my body completely according to your interests. Finally, I will give you a warm bed. I will compare with all those little girls - snatching men, you are far behind. Oh **** ho ho."

The villain-like speech and laughter made Guan Junyan realize again that this white-faced golden fur fox is a villain, albeit a very charming one.

Only people with higher status or "seniority" can suppress this arrogance. The shop owner who had been watching the vixen's performance coughed: "Let's wait until you come back to life and cross that hurdle. Damn you. The limit is far higher than that of humans, and it is more difficult to surpass."

"Can't you just let me dream for a while, you evil mother-in-law." The vixen muttered.

"You haven't woken up from a dream that lasted a thousand years?" The shop owner disagreed and made a pun.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I'm an afterimage of the past. What's so arrogant about it?"

"The 'afterimage' of the past?" Guan Junyan continued to ask.

"And——" the shopkeeper paused and said to the vixen, "I still don't know your real name."

"My real name is Qingqiu, little man, remember it."

Hua Yangtian, Su Daji, and Tamamo Mae are all pseudonyms, while Qingqiu is their real name.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: "There is a beast in the mountains of Qingqiu. Its shape is like a fox with nine tails, and its sound is like a baby." She was the one who said it.

Guan Junyan nodded. Although he had known it through the system for a long time, it was still a joy to hear the vixen say it himself.

Then he looked at the shopkeeper again.

The shop owner once said, look for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuaｎ.comｍIf I can gain her approval, she will show up and tell her her real name.

Now that his true identity has appeared, he still needs to reveal his true name personally or verbally.

The shop owner knew this clearly: "She should have said it."

"I think it's better for you to say."

I only saw Dongjun’s face once, but I saw the shopkeeper’s face every day.

The shopkeeper closed his eyelids for a while, then stood up and said: "This is an answer. She is me, I am not her, is this okay?"

"Of course."

"Yin Yang family, Dong Jun, Yan Fei."

The shopkeeper finally said the name that had been silent for so long that she could not even remember the time.

Guan Junyan smiled from the bottom of his heart and then saluted solemnly:

"Yin Yang family, Yun Zhongjun, Guan Junyan."

The shop owner returned the gift with the same solemn attitude. Only today did she truly recognize this seventeen-year-old boy.

PS: To add to the setting of the nine-tailed fox, according to Chinese mythology, there are two origins of the nine-tailed fox, the Qingqiu family mentioned in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and the Tushan family, the wife of Dayu. In terms of time, Qingqiu is earlier, so Qingqiu was chosen as the source, and Tushan was the auspicious branch that branched off later.

PS2: The setting is limited to this book and has nothing to do with research or history.

PS3: As an aside, the research of a certain troubled Niujie Jie is quite rigorous. There is nothing wrong with Tushan Chujiu and Shaohao - the lineage of the Yellow Emperor, but it is a pity that the copywriting...sigh.
