23. Law Nation 1
When Tang You opened his eyes, he saw a huge golden magic circle hanging in the sky.
The surrounding sounds came and went, mixed with the "whooshing" sound of the water, and it was impossible to distinguish for a while, and it took about half a minute to hear a few words of dialogue.
"Look, it's really alive, it's not a corpse!"
"Alas, it's pretty miserable to be deceived like this......"
"It's only 1 point, and I don't know how long I can live."
"It is estimated that it will not be ...... in three days"
Tang You only felt that he couldn't find the real sense, and after lying down for a while, the senses slowly returned to their places. He found himself soaking wet, lying on the edge of the river, and the river was rushing to the shore, almost touching him. He propped himself up and looked at the crowd of onlookers.
The crowd looked at him too, and one of the girls asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Tang You nodded, seeing that they were dressed normally, he knew that it was still a modern society, and looked at the magic circle above again, and he didn't know what kind of place this was.
At this time, someone in the crowd asked, "Will you kill yourself again?" ”
Tang You said, "No." ”
"Alas......" A few people in the crowd sighed in unison, sounded very sorry, turned around and left.
Tang You looked at them silently, a little confused, and was about to stand up, only to see a young man rushing over, this young man was very handsome, with a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows, and he walked in front of him and stared at him condescendingly, looking very disgusted, he sat still and did not move.
The young man looked at it and snorted coldly: "How many times have you said that he may be a liar, so you don't listen, you deserve to fall to this point!" ”
Tang You said, "Oh. ”
Seeing that he was neither crying nor burying his head with his hands and legs, the young man squinted: "What? This is still thinking about death, so it doesn't matter what it is? Then you will die now, you see if I can save you. ”
"I won't seek death again...... Tang You said unexpectedly remembering that before he was sucked into this world, his father looked at his dark red eyes, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, "Even if I disembowel, I have to live." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a soft sound of "ding" in his ears, and his body suddenly emitted a faint light, which quickly dissipated within two seconds. He hurriedly checked to see if it was a hallucination, but soon realized that it should not be, because the boy showed a little stunned expression, and the crowd that had not yet dispersed was in an uproar and ran back again.
"Damn, it's up 6 points!" An uncle in the crowd grabbed him by the shoulder and asked eagerly, "Boy, did you just say something?" ”
Tang You blinked: "I said I wouldn't commit suicide." ”
The crowd asked, "Only this?" Nothing else? ”
Tang You was very puzzled, and seeing that they were all looking at him expectantly, he could only explain what his father had said to him. Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all stood still, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
The girl's face was full of determination: "Even if my head is broken and bleeding, I have to live!" ”
The uncle's expression was hideous: "Even if the flesh and blood are flying and the internal organs are damaged, I will fight tenaciously, work hard, and live forever!" ”
The young man clenched his fists and shouted loudly to the sky: "Even if the sky thunders and the storm ravages me one by one, it can't change my determination to live!" My generation wants to be a thriving sapling! ”
Even the young man with a cold face yelled: "No matter what, I have to live!" ”
Tang You: ".................."
Saying...... What the hell is this doing?
Everyone continued to howl in various postures and contents, and only said "It doesn't work" in discouragement for a long time, looking at Tang You with envy and hatred, and "hula" scattered, making the latter stunned. Tang You felt that he had to collect information, and finally turned his gaze to the young man who had not left, and stood up slowly: "I want to sleep." ”
The young man glanced at him: "Sleep, I didn't stop you." ”
Tang You thought for a few seconds and pretended to be very pitiful: "My foot is twisted." ”
The boy asked, "Then how did you stand up just now?" ”
"......," Tang You said, "I used the force of one foot, and the other foot twisted, and it hurt. ”
"Yes!" The young man threw him down and left, Tang You saw that the method of "begging to take it away" didn't work, so he secretly said that it was better to find a place to sleep casually, but when he saw that the young man walked a few steps and came back, he rudely pulled his arm over his shoulder, and his expression was very cold: "Sue you, I will take care of you again this time." ”
Tang You was very happy, but he didn't dare to come out, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
The boy didn't bother to take care of him, so he carried him on. Tang closed his mouth in a timely manner, stepped up the embankment with his support, and looked at the situation nearby.
It was a forest, full of trees he had never seen before, and a path zigzagged ahead, and at the end stood a plank the size of a blackboard, which he had no idea what was on it because he had his back to them, and he noticed that there were many people in the woods, and every once in a while he could scan a few, all with their heads bowed, as if looking for something.
After stepping out of the woods, there is a small village, which divides into three branches, and the middle leads to a small square, from which you can see many stalls, which are crowded with people, and it is very lively. The boy carried him to the right, and finally reached a small cabin, opened the door and threw him on one of the beds.
Tang You didn't find anything similar to pajamas on the small bed, so he took off his wet clothes and threw them on the ground, carrying the towel next to him to wipe the water on his body.
The boy immediately became angry: "Why use mine? ”
"......" Tang You looked at the pale pink towel in his hand, then at the pale blue one hanging next to him, and finally at the young man's arrogant face, silently wrung out the towel and put it back in place, turned over to sleep, and threw himself into the bed.
Boy: "......"
The boy rushed over and kicked the bed hard, slamming the door and leaving.
Tang You exhaled and touched the position of the left collarbone, which had a number "7" on it, and he contacted the reactions of those people just now, knowing that this should represent some kind of meaning, so he closed his eyes and began to receive the memories of this body.
Perhaps it was the fact that the memory of his childhood consumed a lot of energy, and he soon fell asleep.
The dream is the world of the supernatural, the more powerful and respected it is, and the higher the status. The ability is divided into levels, and it can be improved through cultivation, and there are many training grounds on the mainland, among which the most famous and oldest is here - the ancient dimension training ground.
There are many magical things about this place, such as the ability of ordinary people to experience guò; The ungifted supernatural becomes a genius; The ability to fail to break through for a long time continues to skip levels...... The most important thing is that the few god-level abilities on the continent have all been trained in the ancient dimension.
All kinds of brilliant achievements make Gu Wei's status far above other training grounds, but not everyone dares to come, because the success rate of this place is too low, and not necessarily one out of 10,000 people can go out.
The outside world has made many speculations about the environment inside, but the speculation is speculation after all, and no one has any basis, and those who managed to get out are silent, which makes this place even more mysterious. But even so, there are countless people who enter the ancient dimension every year, among which some of them are fleeing for their lives, escaping debts, committing crimes and taking revenge, and those who want to fight back against the Jedi who are hopeless in life, and the rest are adventure lovers and people who really want to come in and cultivate.
The original owner and the boy belong to the latter.
Both of them are ordinary people, and the only way to have abilities is to come here.
In fact, the original owner didn't want to come, but his father especially wanted to have a stranger in the family, so he asked him to come in. Upon learning of this, the boy immediately asserted that his stepmother had come up with the idea to kill him so that he would not take away part of his property, and that the promises were merely a deception to him.
The original owner panicked and wanted to resist, but his father had always been strong and too obsessed with abilities, so he came with him. The boy was inspired to become an anomaly since he was a child, and when he awakened at the age of fifteen, he decided to come in after he didn't find out the ability, so he had no fear.
People made ample preparations and carried their things into the ancient dimension, but they were surprised.
Because it is no longer a training ground, but a country, the difference is that there are no laws, no government, and all official institutions do not exist at all, there are only laws, that is, a huge golden circle on the head.
The people inside don't like to call it the Ancient Dimension, preferring to use another name - the Law Realm.
The person who enters here will be deprived of a qiē ability, become no different from an ordinary person, and each person has an initial score of 50, it will appear randomly in a certain part of the body, and then the position can be adjusted according to personal preference, as long as a certain score is reached, it is considered to be a good experience, and if the score is reduced to zero, that person will die.
The Law Nation has its own currency, and fractions can also be used as currency, which can be exchanged at the discretion of the individual. The original owner and the boy came here for the first time, and because they had no money, they used their scores to share a small cabin, intending to buy tools and materials to build a house to live in.
Now it's been half a year since they came here, and the original owner has a cowardly personality and often makes stupid mistakes, and it's all teenagers who are helping to deal with the aftermath.
Two and a half months ago, the original owner met a young man, the young man was very gentle with him, and he fell in love with someone, during which the young man warned him not to be deceived, but he still couldn't stop the original owner's feelings for others. Five days ago, a rich man from a big city came to their small village in search of a herb and offered a reward of 200 points.
The young man found the original owner and said that he had seen it in a person's house, and the other party happened to have not recognized it as a herb, and he planned to buy it, but the other party only needed to share, not money, and his share was not enough. As soon as the original owner heard this, he lent him his own, leaving only 1 point.
As you can imagine, the youth is gone forever and disappears without a trace. The original owner then knew that he had been deceived, so he committed suicide.
After Tang You woke up, he touched the position of his collarbone, and saw that today's new "6" points had risen, which was a little more steady.
He got up and rummaged through his clean clothes, and saw a piece of poster-sized paper taped to the wall, with a few blood-red words written in the title: n ways to flirt with the law.
Below are a few lines of small print -
1. Poetry. The score obtained is generally 5-10 points, and some can reach 20 points.
2. Tell jokes. The score obtained is generally 1-8 points, and some can reach 20 points.
3. Make a statement (note: it is best to be shocked), which can be a sentence or a large paragraph, and the score obtained......
……
There are still many strips in the back, and Tang You has gained the memory, and he can recite it backwards without looking at it.
In the realm of laws, there are two ways to get points, one is trading, and the other is the law of guò.
For example, when he said something today, the law seemed to be quite happy to hear it, and gave him a "6" point, and for example, there is a certain chance of scoring for helping others, usually "2" points, so those people before really wanted him to jump into the river again, and they could go and catch him.
Of course, if you kill people and set fires, beat and scold others at will, the law will be reduced, and the strict zhòng will even be reduced to death, which is also the reason why there is no law here but order can still be maintained.
Tang You got dressed and was just about to go out, when the boy came back, still holding a newly bought magazine in his hand, which read "Summary of May Score Acquisition Records and Authoritative Predictions for June". The boy glanced at him, ignored him, and sat reading a magazine.
Tang You knew that after half a year of getting along, the young man's patience with him was about to run out, so he didn't speak, looked at the magic circle in the sky through the window, and suddenly remembered that someone predicted that he would get the treasure from the magic circle the moment he went out, and subconsciously said, "I want that." ”
The boy looked up.
Tang You retracted his gaze, although he didn't know the reason for the strong desire surging in his body, he still repeated: "I want the things in the magic circle." ”
The boy looked at him twice and asked, "How many points does it take to get out?" ”
Tang You said: "9998 points. ”
The boy asked, "What about you?" ”
Tang You said: "...... 7 points. ”
The boy bowed his head again: "It's okay, anyone can do sweet dreams." ”
Tang You: "......"
The young man was silent, looked at him again, and lifted the magazine: "Don't read? ”
"Look." Tang You saw that he took the initiative to talk, and hurriedly went over and sat down.
The boy happened to see the summary of poems in May, and the poem at the top of the list scored 8 points, which read: Ah, spring flowers/I want to be sleepy with you/Ah, love/You were caught off guard/We are sleepy, sleepy/Sleepy, sleepy/On thorns, on sulfuric acid, on fire/Ah, we die and come back to life......
"......" Tang You thought to himself, even if he already had a memory, he still couldn't understand the hobby and aesthetics of the law.
