Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fate
What would you do if you went to the store and fell in love with an item, and then found out that you couldn't afford it?
Go back, save money and buy it again, or find a lower substitute and make do with it.
Probably, many people will choose the latter and make do with it first.
You can choose a psionic organ, which is much more complicated than shopping, and making do will leave a bunch of hidden dangers.
"It's impossible to substitute for the lower position. The core psionic organs are all okay, and there will definitely be problems next. β
After thinking about it for a while, he found that the price of "Rainbow Magnetoelectric Dragon's Natural Dragon Crystal" was obviously inflated....... In fact, all the spiritual materials in the city are inflated.
With a little time and preparation, he has a better way to get it, in fact, he already has a small plan.
"The fastest, half a month to fifteen days."
But just going back like this, Zheng Li was a little unwilling....... The city's finals are only two and a half months away at the end of the year.
Heading into the next round, the schedule will be tight, and there won't be much free time like that now.
The finals of the Digital City will be in April next year, and the journey will be at least a month and a half, and the psionic organs will require varying degrees of adaptation time, and the waste of idle time is unacceptable.
Don't look so far, if the rookie Sword Saint Tournament in front of you wants to play the finals, it also needs a higher level of personal hard power.
Zheng Li must convert all his resources into combat power as soon as possible, even if from now on, he will have a new one after the end of the adaptation period, and he will be able to get two or three psionic organs when he is full, and he can't stop at all.
There was no time for hesitation, and naturally, he chose a psionic organ that he had prepared for a long time.
"Eye Eater, it's not a high-end magic eye, but it should suit me very well."
Noticing that Lin Yuying's state was okay, Zheng Li took off the blindfold and showed Lin Yuying his left eye under the blindfold.
At first glance, it was an ordinary eyeball, but if you look closely, the pitch-black pupil is indeed a dull black crystal, absorbing the brilliance of the surrounding area.
β...... Has the body temperature dropped from 80 degrees to 60 degrees? It seems that physically cooled ice cubes are still useful. β
This is not a physical feeling, but the reality that Zheng Li has just seen with his "eyes".
In the surroundings of Lin Yuying, the original crimson heat color has been much less and much lighter.
The heat and infrared rays emitted by the living creatures will be unusually clear under this left eye.
Even, Zheng Li tried it yesterday, and people walking by will leave pale red heat marks, which can be faintly seen, and can even be used as a means of tracking.
But now, just after pulling off the blindfold and touching the light, Zheng Li felt a little painful, and hurriedly put the blindfold on again.
This thing just spawned last night, and it's still fragile, so don't use it casually for at least a few days.
Yesterday, he was exposed to psionic generation for the first time, and it was quite magical.
Put the materials on the altar of the four spirits, dedicate enough sacrifices and spirit crystals, and make corresponding requirements, and the materials act on their own like a gambling blade, directly covering the flesh...... Then he rolled on the ground in pain.
He wasn't unwounded, but the pain was very different....... It's like a swarm of bugs that eat your limbs in your head, and you don't know how to resist the first contact.
Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly, although the faint labor pain is still there, but the heart-piercing pain is quickly gone.
Now, he has an extra perspective, an infrared vision that can see heat, which is equivalent to having night vision.
"Night vision? This ......"
Lin Yuying was startled, and her sleepiness was instantly woken up, which was completely beyond her expectations, this eye was too ......
β...... Too weak? Oh, when I said I was going to 'devour the eyes', those ghost guys reacted the same way as you, and they all thought they had heard it wrong......"
The Eye of Light Eater, commonly known as the Night Vision Eye, is the psionic eyes of an unnamed crystalline creature.
It only takes two points of white, which is about the same price as the garbage hellhound beast, to know how weak its prototype is, which is the cheapest one in the out-and-out way.
The ability is very weak, in the early days there was only infrared night vision, and only a long, long time ago was popular for a while.
"There are a lot of high-level magic eyes with night vision. Well, why not use night vision potions? β
Night sentries do need night vision, but there are several better options, and the night vision potion with a market price of about 500 yuan is one of them.
It is a special alchemy potion that can be applied to the eyes to gain night vision for a certain period of time, lasting 8 to 10 hours.
When the effect time is up, the special photoreceptor cells in the eye automatically die, and the vision returns to normal without side effects at all.
In fact, not to mention the current psionic technology, in the old days in Zheng Li's recollection, scientists injected nanomaterials to give mice the ability to have night vision.
The principle is similar, just add some corresponding photoreceptor cells to the eyeball, and the technical difficulty is not great.
Besides, I think night vision agents are troublesome to use, so you can use artificial night vision devices.
Every team needs night vision sentinels, due to the huge demand, whether it is electronic products or artificial spirit weapons, the market is very transparent, and the price is quite low, cheaper than night vision medicine....... If you can't think about it, you can also get a spiritual weapon.
Now, get a night vision eye with no turning back....... Even if she was still unwell, Lin Yuying still hoped to get Zheng Li's answer.
β...... In fact, this eye is underestimated. It is true that the lower limit is very low, but as long as the corresponding alchemy potion is injected, you can obtain a new vision range, add biological energy, and even increase its upper limit......."
The animal's eye is able to see the outside world, and in the end, it is because of the photoreceptor cells in the retina.
Photoreceptor cells can receive light signals and convert them into nerve signals, which are transmitted to the brain, where they reconstruct visual images and "see".
The structure of the eyes of living organisms may vary widely, but the principles of vision are similar for most of the earth's organisms, and the type and number of photoreceptor cells are always key.
In terms of the breadth of visible light, humans can only be regarded as average in this regard, and many animals are stronger in this regard, they have higher quality and more number of photoreceptor cells, and can see a lot of human "invisible light".
"The pupil of the optophagous is actually a collection of countless crystalline photoreceptor cells, which can sense the external situation and cell samples, and mass-produce new types of photoreceptor cells to obtain new .......vision for the host."
Seeing Lin Yuying's cute tilt of her head, Zheng Li knew that he was talking in vain.
β...... You can think of it as that as long as you inject the corresponding alchemy potion and evolve appropriately, you will be able to obtain infrared night vision, perspective ability, electromagnetic wave vision, and non-visible observation ability......."
Of course, this operation is quite difficult, even if the alchemy potion is wrong, even if you don't die, your eyes will be useless.
And in order to carry more functions, unlimited smashing of biological energy is also necessary, and it is also necessary for this eye to evolve itself to the extent of carrying new functions, which is not an overnight thing.
Even if the medicine is always right, the generation of new photoreceptor cells has to be tried and accumulated repeatedly, and many people toss around for nothing and finally blinds themselves....... Why is it so hard, just go directly to the high-level magic eye of the corresponding function.
But for Zheng Li, as long as he tries repeatedly, the problems that can be solved are not difficult problems.
"Anyway, don't worry, this is definitely the best for my eyes....... Moreover, since the mythological component I needed was too special to have in the library, I simply cultivated one myself. β
Zheng Li shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent, he had already prepared for this, there were several potion recipes, and now he had to wait for enough growth and bioenergy.
Cultivating this eye is probably going to be quite a long job, and most of it will become a bottomless pit in a sense, but Zheng Li feels that it is worth it.
"And, I've been 'recognized', which is a treasure indeed. It seems that many of us are confused by pure power, and without delving into the reasons for its strength, there are too many choices, but we ignore our feet. β
After hesitating for a second, Zheng Li finally pulled off the blindfold again.
He pinched the side of his eyeball and pulled it hard, trembling in pain...... Even Lin Yuying felt a pain, and she also saw a special mark under that eyeball.
β...... First Blade Seal? Core psionic organs?! β
As Sister Yinzi said before, the core psionic organ is the carrier of the ability in the physical body, and it is often the most powerful and critical psionic organ, but it is also the biggest weakness of a sword master.
In Zheng Li's eyeballs, the gray mark of a campfire camp was in it, and since the lens pupil was black, it was not obvious.
It's not that you have a psionic organ, it's naturally core, and only the psionic organ that has the highest matching rate with the ability and fits the ability perfectly is likely to become a core psionic organ...... At that time, Sister Yinzi said that staring at the position with the first blade spirit mark was definitely the point.
Many professional warriors who are half a hundred years old have four or five psionic organs, and they have not yet found the psionic organs that carry their abilities...... Whether the same psionic organ is the core or not is a completely different matter.
For example, the ordinary "Endless Stomach" is only the effect of devouring and storing food, and it is remarkable that there is an emergency moment to decompose spiritual materials and restore the property of spiritual energy.
Wu Sanjun's "Endless Gluttonous Stomach" is indeed the basis of his evolution, and he can obtain the opponent's racial characteristics and special abilities by devouring the spiritual materials and psionic organs of alien beasts, which is powerful to the point of being buggy.
It can be said that finding the core psionic organ is to find the path to the future, and it will definitely not be weak if it develops along the way.
"You know my abilities. Observation is the premise of interference, and the more you see, the more you can observe and deduce. With this ability as the core, what I need is to increase the scope and level of 'seeing', and the more I can 'see', the more possibilities I can interfere with........"
Saying that, Zheng Li can be regarded as having paid the truth.
At this time, he also wanted to say a few more words to Yu Sakura.
He noticed that during the small talk, Lin Yuying's condition was indeed improving, and her body temperature was returning to normal values.
Zheng Li vaguely realized that this was indeed his own pot.
The spirit blade is not in balance, the kite with the broken string needs to be re-drawn, and the sword master who is supposed to provide biological energy and spiritual energy interaction is far away, and there is no new anchor point that can be fixed, and she really can't carry it alone.
As for why he didn't find himself earlier....... Well, Zheng Li should still be in a coma and house arrest at that time, and those people will not allow the spirit blade to be around, so they should be placed under house arrest in another area.
After coming out, Zheng Li had a bunch of things on his hands, and he only met once....... Yu Ying probably hesitated, but finally didn't speak, was she afraid of annoying the new sword master who already had a bad attitude towards her.
She should have held out for more than two days, but in the end she couldn't hold it and collapsed.
β...... Perhaps, she is not as strong and confident as she seems......."
Zheng Li was vaguely enlightened, and there was a little guilt and uneasiness.
After taking advantage of others, he left others behind, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, I should have found out earlier."
"No, it's not your ......"
The words of rebuttal were stopped by a hand, and Zheng Li suddenly took her hand.
In an instant, Lin Yuying's face turned red, and the seductive red glow rose all the way to her forehead, and she forgot anything else.
"Direct contact, better transmission of psionic energy."
Looking at this obviously innocent girl, Zheng Li was a little funny, he seemed to overestimate Lin Yuying too much before, after all, she looked a little too mature.
β....... Your thoughts, Xiao Shiyu has already told me. I have to admit that the gap between the real 'you' and the 'you' I've heard of is a bit big. I don't know why you're attached to me, but I don't have any special feelings for you right now, after all, we've only known each other for a year and haven't seen each other more than five times. After all, we are now in the relationship between the Sword Lord and the Spirit Clan, and I hope to be able to entrust everything to time, if you can't accept it........"
There are some words, Zheng Li thinks it is better to say them directly.
"I didn't know each other!"
Suddenly, Lin Yuying was excited, so excited that she got up suddenly, and Zheng Li was so excited that she hurriedly looked up at the ceiling.
"Seven years ago, the Four Illusions Park in the Autumn Division, do you remember?!"
A familiar place, a familiar name, made Zheng Li tremble violently.
Remember, of course, the place and time that appeared in the countless dreams even directly changed my life and values.
"That'...... That's you! β
"Uh-huh, I didn't think you remembered? It's so nice that I never forget that first encounter. β
"Holy, of course I remember, I ......"
Zheng Li grew his mouth, and finally looked at the woman with a sickly face, his face was full of joy from the heart, and in the end, he didn't say anything.
"At that time, you had just returned from the battlefield?"
"Hmmm! I've just entered the city, and I haven't had time to get home yet. β
"You're wearing battlefield armor and equipment, covered in blood, with a long knife full of blood, and several short arrows stuck in your body?"
"It was an uphill battle, but it was worth it......."
"And then, at the swing in the park clearing, you see a boy with his head down and secretly crying alone? You're getting closer......"
"Well, that's the guidance of fate, just a glance, I feel that he belongs to me, I want to share his sorrow and pain, I want to take him back to my home, give him warmth and my love......"
Lin Yuying smiled sweetly, it was her best memory, the moment when the prince and the female knight met, the moment when the gray magic sword life was painted.
Zheng Li's eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief.
β...... And then he was so scared of you that he screamed and ran away?! He threw you with a stone, ran all the way and screamed, and called the police uncle?! β
Lin Yuying cried with a sad face, she didn't know why the situation developed like that, how could the beautiful encounter in the original fate become a farce of me chasing you and escaping, and then passers-by called the police, and police cars intercepted and blocked the road.
Zheng Li's mouth grew up, and he didn't know what to say at all.
A two-meter-tall armored "giant man", wearing a demon mask and ghost armor covered in blood, carrying a bloodied long knife taller than you, carefully walked with cat steps, and slowly approached you from behind....... It's no wonder you don't run!
To this day, he is often awakened in nightmares, and the ghost warrior who chases him is too controlled. It has become his childhood trauma and nightmare, and even changed his life choices.
β...... It's a fateful encounter......"
Zheng Li's subconscious muttering turned into a look of crying and laughing again.
β...... My life, my efforts, what is this......"
If it weren't for that encounter, he wouldn't have realized how dangerous and crazy the world was, and how naΓ―ve the idea of staying in a safe area was.
He wouldn't have made up his mind to find a martial arts gym that suited him best...... Well, perhaps, I won't meet Sister Yinzi either.
In order to defeat the oni samurai change. state, at least from no matter how ineffective the attack is. The escape of the state became the direct motivation for his efforts back then, even higher than the "homecoming" with little hope.
Sister Ginko, who knows all this, even often scares him with "If you don't work hard, the ghost samurai will come to catch you....... He couldn't remember how many times he had been awakened by the nightmare during that time.
That section of the escape passage that can't be run away, the giant ghost samurai that can't be beaten at all, even now, will occasionally become an invincible midnight nightmare.
Probably, it was only during the days when the Thirteen Divisions became more and more intense that he really forgot about the bloody ghost warrior mask.
He withdrew his hand suddenly, and the angry rebuke was on his lips, but when he saw Lin Yuying shrunk in the quilt, with a pitiful pleading on her pretty face, she couldn't say anything.
β...... That's life. β
The people who don't believe in fate the most can only sigh helplessly.
If...... It's just that if he was taken back by Lin Yuying at that time, instead of encountering Sister Yinzi, perhaps, his life would be completely different now.
Sister Yuying, who is obviously a doting person, will probably raise him to be a waste, perhaps, that kind of self, is happier than now.
But can you escape all this...... It still doesn't seem possible.
There are things that can't be escaped, and the more you run away, the more you ignore them, and the more violent and crazy he comes, maybe the encounter will be worse than now.
Zheng Li's mood was unusually complicated.
But looking at Sister Yuying, who secretly held her hand over again, and smiled like a simple little girl after success, he still couldn't say anything.
β...... That's fate. β
