Mysterious Helper

Zeno received a message on his computer, there wasn't any header at all and only contains a link. [qowikrfwa.tor]

Before he did something stupid, he turned on his VPN and opened a Virtual Machine and also turned the VPN in his vitual machine for more security.

He copied the link and opened it in the browser of the virtual machine, what greeted him is only an image, or rather, the first panel of the [Stolen Bike] meme.

Zeno rightclicked the image and hurriedly clicked download so that it wouldn't be lost ever again, he wiped off the non existent sweat on his forehead and laid back on his chair.

He clicked the downloaded image and grinned so hard, he felt his cultivation grew as he read the first panel, although the increase is only a little bit, he has been stuck in Meme Condensation so every increase worths a lot to him.

Because of his lack of creating memes, at most, he could only create a detailed meme so that the reader could understand, his meme knowledge is so little that if he were to create one, the text were so detailed that it would be like an essay for school.

Memers in the Profound Memer rank could create memes with only a four paragraph text and the reader would easily understand it, meanwhile, Memers in the Heavenly and Supreme rank could make memes that only requires 12-20 words max, it won't even be a paragraph long but the reader could easily understand it.

Although there are meme cultivators, some of them are hermits so people can't see them that often. Besides, memes are banned, so if meme cultivators were to show their faces, they would immediately get thrown in to jail.

Zeno looked at the first panel in amazement, so few words yet his improvement had gone up by a mile, a year of looking at illegal memes is equivalent to looking at only a single panel of a meme from the Ancient Era.

Somesort of warmth came to his brain as he tries to decipher the hidden meaning of the first panel, he looked closer at his monitor, he tried to figure out why the person in the comic like meme got his bike stolen.

'Maybe the hex code of the person's clothes has relations on why his bike got stolen?' he murmured under his breath.

He placed the first panel in Photoshop and used the eyedropper tool to get the hex code of the color the person's clothes is wearing.

'This doesn't make sense! Maybe it has to do with the guy's expressions?' he thought.

Zeno zoomed into the characters facial expressions but the only thing he got out of it is a surprised wide eyed look expression on the character, he tried to piece it all together with the Hex code but it still didn't make sense.

He looked deeply at the guy's expressions, after a few minutes of observing, his eyes became wide and his mouth agape as a sudden realization dawned on him.

'Emotions!'

Zeno placed himself in the guy's situation, 'What would I feel if I were to get my bike stolen? I too would be surprised at first but what happens next...?' he relaxed his body and laid his back on his chair, he kept doing breathing excercises to calm his mind.

'I will be pretty sad about it because I won't have enough money to buy another one...'

'Right, sadness!'
