Chapter Ninety-Five: An Illusory Dream
When Zero came back with food, Xiao Lie had already packed up and sat on a chair to read. The pen www.biquge.info sensed that Zero was coming, and while taking the food from Zero, he smiled and chatted with Zero.
As soon as Koryo finished eating, Lake Ira came over. Regarding the identities of Xiao Lie and Zero, Irahu is already very clear, and naturally knows that it will not be long before Xiao Lie and Zero will leave. It's hard to meet a ship girl who is so talented in cooking, and there is another ship girl with superb cooking skills, Irago naturally wants to take this opportunity to communicate more.
Xiao Lie also agrees with this matter. The opportunity is rare, and Zero is really interested, so he asked Irahu to take care of his ship's mother and watched them leave.
Xiao Lie sat on the table, because he forgot to write a diary last night, and now he has to make up for it quickly. At the same time, some doubts about the chief's book were written on another piece of paper. After doing this, Xiao Lie prepared to go to the chief again with the doubts that had already been written.
Although ordinary citizens do not have the right to vote, they are still very concerned about the matter of the Wang Nu candidate. After all, the candidate of the competition, most likely, will have to do something for the city in the future. For this world of the deep sea, only great power can make people feel at ease. Therefore, with Aina, who has opened up the Grade A sea area, Moya has become the object of people's discussion.
At this time, Xiao Lie walked on the street, and he could hear the sounds of discussion around him. In order to prevent accidents, Xiao Lie did not come out alone. Although Zero went to learn cooking with Lake Ira, Yutachi stayed in the town guard mansion today.
Therefore, Xiao Lie asked Xili to come out with her.
…
"You've already read that book?" Except at night, there are not many people here in the chief. Because those tribal warriors brought their ship mothers, they were either visiting the city, or going to the wanderer gathering area to try their luck, or pulling the ship girls to find some scattered deep sea near the offshore.
The last one is difficult to do, because the Doge's Palace regularly cleans the surrounding seas, and it is difficult to touch the scattered deep sea. However, this has little to do with Xiao Lie, because the chief he is looking for has been staying there and rarely going out.
"Yes, I probably, I have already sensed the existence of the soul network. However, there is still some ambiguity about the way of exercising, and I want to come to the chief for a solution. Obviously, Xiao Lie was already able to talk to the chief very well, and called out the title of the chieftain.
"That's right, by the way, the one next to you doesn't seem to be your ship's wife, right?"
“poi?” Hearing the other party mention himself, Xi Li shouted suspiciously.
"Xi Li, Sister Ai's ship's mother. Zero has something to do today, and she follows me instead of Zero. "Following Xiao Lie, it is natural to protect Xiao Lie, as long as the ship's mother is present, most of the dangers can be avoided.
The chief didn't say anything, and took Xiao Lie to a place. The chief didn't know about Xiao Lie's visit today, but the chief felt that Xiao Lie would definitely come over in the next few days, so he made preparations in advance.
Yesterday, the shaman brought in a set of things, which were placed somewhere on the first floor. The chieftain took Xiao Lie to the location of those items. To help perceive the network of souls, there are special items within the Chieftain's organization. There are not many things like Xiao Lie that can be perceived without touching special items.
Although the chief trusts his feelings, there are some facts that need to be seen. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the chief asked Xiao Lie to use the machine to prove his judgment from the results after using it.
At first glance, it looks like a building machine, but there are differences. Firstly, it is slightly smaller, and secondly, there is no place to put the resource. As the chief instructed, Xiao Lie walked in.
It's like walking into a building machine, am I going to be transformed? Xiao Lie shook his head, putting aside those unrealistic thoughts, and calming down at the same time.
The gate closed slowly, and the whole process was controlled by the chief, so there would be no problem. For some reason, Xiao Lie still trusts the chief very much in his heart, and I don't know if it has something to do with what Amu told him.
The role of this machine, the chief has been able to tell Xiao Lie. It is usually used to help newcomers perceive the soul network, but it can also be used to enhance the soul network. At the same time, the greatest significance for the chief is to observe the qualifications of the soul network.
Although it hurts, just like the queen candidates, they all need to meet the qualification requirements, because everyone's soul network qualifications are different. First of all, the Admiral and ordinary people, the direct manifestation is whether they can awaken the soul network.
Even if you awaken the soul network and become an admiral, there is a difference. And the difference is even more obvious since the Emperor and the Chief created the method of exercising the soul network. Even if you choose the right way for you, you will still be limited by your own qualifications.
It's like blowing snow, it's inherently weaker than Yamato in terms of firepower. Maybe after constant training, blowing snow can reach the same height as Yamato, but it can't have considerable firepower when it has the same training level as Yamato.
In other words, the promotion of ordinary qualified commanders is also limited. If the qualifications are excellent, whether it is speed or ceiling, it will be much higher.
At this time, the chief operated the machine and began to detect step by step.
When the door was completely closed, darkness plunged around. Xiao Lie followed the chief's instructions and slowly unleashed his soul network to probe the surroundings. Obviously, with last night's foundation, today is relatively easy. But it's too dark to be seen.
The chief can naturally see Xiao Lie's current state, and if it is an ordinary newcomer, at this time, he should let the newcomer's initial ship stand near the machine and use it to perceive. However, Xiao Lie had already passed this step, and the chief pressed a button to move on to the next step.
Xi Li has been following Xiao Lie, and he is also in the room at this time. Since Xiao Lie believed in the chieftain, there was no reason for Xi Li to object. It's just that Xi Li is also concerned about Xiao Lie's situation, although it is not as clear and direct as the chief, but if Xiao Lie encounters danger, Xi Li will still pull him out.
The chief did not deliberately avoid Xili, and let her watch every move, which also reassured her. At this time, Xiao Lie should have entered the next step, right?
Inside the machine at this time, Xiao Lie looked very painful, but his life was intact, and Xi Li outside naturally didn't know what Xiao Lie was currently experiencing. This step, if successful, will directly expand Xiao Lie's soul network and lay the foundation for continued improvement in the future.
In a daze, Xiao Lie's consciousness seemed to be hallucinating, and it was clear that he had seen other scenes inside the closed machine. The chief outside took a deep breath and stared closely at somewhere in the machine.
… (Scene Transition)
"Buzz..."Xiao Lie waved his hand and skillfully pressed the answer button.
"Hey... I'll be back later today... Okay, okay, I'll eat something first. ”
Putting down the phone, Xiao Lie got up from the bed and looked at the computer screen on the side, which was a picture of a failed game of League of Legends. Xiao Lie picked up the remote control beside him and turned off the air conditioner. Because it has been blowing for too long, I feel a little cold.
Pushing open the curtains, it was already dusk, and a layer of red hung in the sky, thinking that it would soon disappear. I've already called, and I'll be back late in the evening, so I'll go to the refrigerator to find something to eat first. As for going out to eat? Xiao Lie, who hasn't been out for a long time, said he hadn't thought about it.
"Strange, remember there are quick-frozen dumplings in the refrigerator?" Looking at the slightly empty refrigerator, Xiao Lie shook his head, and then turned his gaze to the lower level... Fortunately, Xiaolie can also cook some simple meals. It's not very tasty, but it's better than nothing.
There are some vegetables and eggs in the lower level of the refrigerator, which is enough.
Soon, a plate of scrambled eggs was baked, and for Xiao Lie, after eating enough, he could go to sleep after playing a few rounds. It's just that when eating, why do you always feel like it's hard to swallow? Although it doesn't taste good to make it yourself, haven't you always been so improvised?
It's an old habit to take a shower after dinner, and then you can go straight to bed. Although it has been the appearance of sleeping all afternoon. However, Xiao Lie stood in front of the bath at this time, and stretched his hand into it many times, but he was never able to enter.
"I always feel like there's something missing?" Xiao Lie thought so, but he couldn't say what was missing.
… (Scene reverts)
In the room where the chief and Xili were, Xili sat there bored, looking at the chief strangely. Because he could feel that Xiao Lie's life state had been intact, Xi Li didn't make any special moves.
However, the chief looked unusually nervous at this time, looking at the machine somewhere.
The second step will have an impact on the soul network of the Admiral inside, that is, on the ethereal soul. It can make the Admiral inside fall into a special state without harming the Admiral inside.
If you use an analogy, it's like sleeping in a deep dream, a very real dream. Because all the scenes are according to the memories of the admiral's own soul.
The crux of the matter is the moment when you wake up, when reality and fantasy collide and are greatly stimulated. The chief is not particularly aware of what the qualifications of the soul network are related to, but at that moment, the qualifications of the soul network can be clearly displayed.
In fact, Aina, as well as many female admirals with the qualifications of royal daughters, were detected in some way. is different from what Xiao Lie is experiencing now, because Aina and the others are using methods that belong to the European Emperor.
And now, Xiao Lie is going through the test of the chieftain. Historically, the chieftain's way is simple and crude, and there have been many times when there have been dangers. It's just that it has developed so far, and it has basically been perfected, and there are very few problems.
The danger lies in the fact that if the admiral in it fails to wake up from the dream, it will be dangerous for a long time. Therefore, the chief is always ready to forcibly wake up Xiao Lie so that no accident really happens.
It's just that waking up by oneself and forcibly waking up can have a great impact on the future. If he could, the chief hoped that Xiao Lie would wake up on his own.
