Chapter XI. Li Weiji holds the Qiankun in his hand, and Xiaolingbao misses his homeland in his heart
It is said that if you take a utility knife and cut your middle finger from the middle, the pain index is 9.2. In spontaneous delivery, the pain index is 9.7 to 9.8.
By this standard, the highest pain Li Weiji has ever endured is about 8.6, appendicitis. The second pain should be being stabbed in the abdomen by an arrow in the Defend Fortress dungeon, which is about 7.2.
When Lingbao said that what he was going to do next would be a little painful, Li Weiji didn't take it to heart, he felt that the game would not make the player suffer too much pain no matter what.
However, when he reaches the fifth square and stands in front of the bull running machine, the game sends out a voice warning for the first time: "Dangerous situation, the neuronal feedback value has been automatically reduced to 43%. You can continue to lower the feedback value, do you want to adjust it?"
After the system prompts, a row of red energy slots appear on the double horns of the robot bull, which says 43%.
The obvious and abrupt hint made Li Weiji have to be cautious, and after thinking for a moment, he still adjusted the value from 43% to 20%.
"The neuronal feedback value has been adjusted to 20%, do you want to continue to adjust it?"
Li Weiji shook his head, and the red energy gauge on the horns disappeared.
Seeing Li Weiji shaking his head, Lingbao, who didn't know why, asked out loud, "Are you dissatisfied with its sharp horns?"
Li Weiji said: "I'm just curious about what this is made of, it doesn't look like metal, it's not a gemstone, it's a red color, and it's a little scary."
"You see the key point right away. Truth be told, the cow was originally a device used to generate electricity. By chance, I picked up a few rocks with some weird red powder in them. I didn't know the properties of the stones, but they seemed to be full of energy, so I made them horns. Unexpectedly, after the horns were installed, the cow seemed to have life, and there was no need to boil water, and the entire laboratory could get a steady supply of energy. ”
Li Weiji said lightly: "Originally, the sixth compartment was a steam engine."
Lingbao said, "That's right. Later, when the steam engine didn't work, I converted it into a cistern. ”
"And what do you mean by some pain?"
"Recently one of my inventions has made some progress, and you may be a beneficiary. Of course, you need to endure a little bit of pain. Just a little, I promise. ”
Li Weiji smiled secretly in his heart: "If the game hadn't warned me in advance, maybe I would have been deceived by your innocent eyes."
Seeing that Li Weiji was silent, Lingbao pointed to the horns and said: "This invention is epoch-making, and you will become the first person to promote the change of the times." This kind of honor is extremely rare, and you need to seize the moment, Lord Seraph. ”
Li Weiji waved his hand: "Let's talk about your invention first." ”
"Of course, of course." Lingbao rode onto the robot cow, "Since I have this pair of horns and have a sufficient supply of energy, I want to create some obedient and reliable pets with excellent combat power to help the war." Actually, I did make one, but it was a little disobedient. ”
Li Weiji knew that Lingbao was referring to the water monster, and said with a smile: "Uncontrollable is equivalent to failure."
"Scientific experiments are always built on failure, aren't they?"
"Yes." Li Weiji admitted, "And then? ”
"And then, and then I gave up on bioengineering. Life was so strange that it seemed to have no pattern to speak of, so I focused on the foggy space. ”
Misty Space? Li Weiji was a little unable to understand the term.
Lingbao continued, "The Interrogation Group has been studying the fog for decades, and they have made a lot of progress through various inhumane means. When I left Latasom, I received a volume of research on the Misty Space from a prisoner. The report states that as long as the energy reaches a critical value, it can give items extradimensional space through eternal alchemy. It sounds similar to your human's magical creation, but I'm sure it's simpler than a magical creation, and can be mass-produced. ”
Li Weiji didn't understand the interrogation team, didn't understand Rata Som, and didn't understand what eternal alchemy was.
But what about extradimensional space?
When Li Weiji heard this word, he immediately thought of the luxurious storage box he obtained after defeating the pig monster.
Shocked, Li Weiji asked, "You want to mass-produce storage equipment?" ”
"No, no, no." Lingbao immediately denied, "The meaning of simple storage equipment is not obvious, although it can make the army travel lightly, but in the fierce battle, the soldiers may not have the opportunity to open the storage equipment." I'm just taking this idea a step further, if objects can be given space, why can't the human body? ”
It's a really feasible idea.
Lingbao patted the head of the robot cow, and the robot cow stopped running.
"I just made a small contribution, and the machine showed amazing power. Thousands of trials with a 97% success rate. ”
Listening to Lingbao's eager voice, Li Weiji was sure that the success rate of this invention might be only 3%.
Lingbao continued: "The significance of this invention is so significant that I am considering whether to apply for a Sneff Award."
"Hey. You don't have to look intoxicated, okay. It's like you've won a prize. Li Weiji interrupted Lingbao's fantasy, "After talking for a long time, how do you do it?" ”
"It's simple. I'll make the cow run, and then the horns will shoot some light, and you just put your hands in the light for five minutes. ”
Lingbao is very simple, and the actual operation is also very simple.
Li Weiji put his hand into the light as promised, and then he lost consciousness.
Fortunately, Li Weiji lowered the feedback value, and the body in the game cabin was only in shock for a short time, and the game cabin spewed out a mouthful of oxygen, and the body woke up slowly.
Li Weiji in the game also gradually came to his senses, and he found that everything around him had changed, the laboratory was scattered as if it had been blown up, and Lingbao was lying on the iron bucket in the sixth grid and was dying.
"Quick, show me." Lingbao squeezed out a sentence in his throat.
Li Weiji took three steps and made two steps to Lingbao and spread his hands.
"Yin and Yang Pisces." Lingbao's eyebrows opened comfortably, as if he had been greatly comforted, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Before Li Weiji could react, Lingbao suddenly jumped up from the iron bucket: "Why don't you cry?" I read all kinds of novels, and people who are alive at this time will be sad and cry. ”
Li Weiji was dumbfounded.
He was not sad at all, he had no intersection with Lingbao, let alone feelings, although he was a little reluctant to see that he was going to die, but it really did not rise to the point of grief.
In fact, when he saw Lingbao close his eyes, all he thought about was: What the hell is going on here, come and tell me.
Lingbao did not die, which meant that many doubts in his heart could be answered, Li Weiji was overjoyed and hugged him.
A sudden hug made Lingbao's nose sour, and he had been in the human territory for more than three years, except for Isara, who didn't care that she was different, this was the first time she enjoyed such a warm hug.
"Okay, okay, I'm not dead." Lingbao, who was standing on the iron bucket, touched Li Weiji's head, "The shield in the laboratory saved me." But my poor laboratory, it was basically scrapped after absorbing the energy of the eternal alchemy burst. ”
"The laboratory can still be built if it explodes, and the green mountains are not afraid of no firewood." Li Weiji let go of the spirit treasure, "What happened, what is this pattern on your hand?" ”
"The combination of these two motifs is the sign of the fog. The mist is the root of all things, the source of everything, the unshakable foundation of eternal alchemy. Lingbao explained, "Having this pattern means that your body is connected to the mist. ”
Li Weiji still didn't understand.
Lingbao said, "Do you have anything big on you?" ”
Li Weiji looked for it, and in addition to the longbow behind him, there was only one copy of "A Beginner's Guide to the Giant Sword in the Land of Ashes and Whispers".
"You put it between your palms and try it."
Li Weiji clasped his hands together, and the books were gone.
"Thinking about the book now, my hands slowly parted."
Li Weiji did as he was told, and half of the page appeared between the palms of his hands.
"How's it going, amazing?"
Li Weiji nodded, he couldn't speak, because this experience had never been experienced before, and he was still reminiscing.
Repeatedly accessing the book, Li Weiji seems to be a little boy who has been given a toy.
No, strictly speaking, he's just a little boy who gets a toy.
Men never grow up, it's just that toys are getting more expensive.
After getting used to taking things in his hands, Li Weiji was still excited, and he asked Lingbao: "Can you put anything in it?" ”
"Theoretically, yes."
"Isn't there a capacity limit?"
"Theoretically not, but in practice there is. This technique had to use that kind of red powder, but unfortunately, I studied it for a long time and still didn't know the ins and outs of this powder. ”
Li Weiji joked: "Can I put you in it?" ”
"Theoretically, yes." Lingbao said solemnly, "However, no one knows what will happen to the living body after entering the mist. And I don't really want to dedicate myself to science right now. ”
"I ......"
"I'll ask you any questions later." Lingbao suddenly became serious, "You go and practice the Giant Sword Introductory Guide now, I know you learn things quickly." Wait for me here, and I'll get you a greatsword. ”
Li Weiji didn't understand why Lingbao forcibly changed the topic, but looking at his serious expression, learning swords seemed to be part of a major plan.
Untied the wooden bow behind his back and put it in his palm, Li Weiji tidied up the scattered armor and tightened his belt.
Lingbao held a steel sword, saying that the steel sword was more like a Tang knife, with a narrow and straight blade, a small blade, and a long handle that could be held with both hands.
"All I have left is this greatsword, so you'll use it." Lingbao used the wooden fence of the laboratory to get a few more targets, "Let's start practicing." ”
Li Weiji took the sword and opened the "Giant Sword Beginner's Guide to the Land of Ashes and Whispers".
A total of three skills are taught in the book, and Li Weiji performs them several times according to the actions in the book, and the game immediately gives hints for learning skills.
Ignoring the game prompts, Li Weiji directly stroked the engraved icon on the sword.
The first is the engraving on the tip of the sword, which is somewhat similar to the spear skill I learned earlier, and it is also a set of three-stage combo skills.
[Slash-Slash-Stab]
[Strikes three enemies in front of you in a row, dodging for 1 second while stabbing.] ]
These three combos are very coherent, the slash takes 0.5 seconds to perform, the slash is also 0.5 seconds, and the stab takes about 0.75 seconds because the action is relatively large, and the movement has a body shaking. According to the skill description, the entire duration of the stabbing attack is in a dodge state. Dodging is equivalent to invincibility, and Li Weiji will not forget this point when he dies. It can be seen that this combo, if used properly, is a sharp weapon in hand-to-hand combat.
The second engraving of the greatsword on either side of the blade is a pair of wings.
[pounces]
[Runs and jumps at enemies, attacking three enemies within range.] ]
[Dodges for 0.5 seconds on leap.] ]
[Combo Finisher: Jump]
After personal experiments, Li Weiji found that this skill has a cooldown time of about 12 seconds, and the skill action is also divided into two phases, the first stage is to run forward, and the second stage is to jump and slash when close to the target.
"Dodge when you stab, dodge when you jump." Li Weiji muttered, "Could it be that this game is set up to show that the bigger the action of the skill, the more you can dodge the opponent's attack?" ”
Unable to test his ability to dodge against the immovable wooden target, Li Weiji had no choice but to hold back his mind and stroke the engraving on the hilt of the sword.
[hilt slams]
[Slams the enemy with the hilt of his sword, stunning them.] If you attack from behind, it will stun them. ]
This skill can only be attacked as a single target at first glance, and it takes about 0.5 seconds to cast, but the two effects that come with it are very good.
Although he couldn't tell the difference between dizziness and coma, Li Weiji, who had played a lot of games, knew that this was a control skill.
Control skills generally have a long cooldown, and Li Weiji smashed it at the wooden target, estimating that the cooldown time is about 25 seconds.
The description of these skills in the game is not clear, and many things have to be memorized by the players themselves, Li Weiji felt that this was not conducive to players to get started, so he decided to write this opinion into the game experience report, hoping that Xu's Group could make relevant adjustments before the game was launched.
Holding back his doubts about the difficulty of the dungeon, Li Weiji took the sword back into his palm and asked, "What are we going to do next?" ”
Lingbao picked up some usable things from the ruins of the laboratory, stuffed them all into Li Weiji's hands, and said, "Go down the mountain." ”
During the process of going down the mountain, Li Weiji asked Lingbao a lot of things, especially Lingbao's life experience, and he found himself so gossip for the first time.
It's really, really interesting to inquire about other people's privacy.
From Lingbao's half-false and half-true statement, Li Weiji learned that Lingbao was a descendant of the Asura's interrogation team.
The Asura were originally a people who lived beneath the surface of the earth, and they adapted to life in caves deep above the surface. They gradually develop a keen sense – they have long ears, bright eyes that don't miss anything – and sharp teeth that allow them to eat anything. They are as intelligent as humans and can use their natural talents to analyze and solve problems. They rarely come to the surface, and few other races have seen them. It wasn't until 250 years ago that the flame dragon began to move slightly to awaken the evil creatures that dwelled deeper underground, the Destroyer.
The Destroyer swarmed out of their lairs and banished Asura from the underground, exposing them to a dangerous and unknown surface world. They came to the ruins of some ancient civilization and built geometrical power plants in heavily defended areas to establish the area as their capital. It is shaped like a large, floating cube called Ratasom. The aesthetic inspiration from the ruins is reflected in the architecture of modern Asura, which was originally a foothold surrounded by ruins and is now a masterpiece of geometry that bears witness to the inexorable development of Azula's ability to develop.
In order to prevent another invasion by the Destroyer of the Underground, Asura used the technology of Earth Energy Pulse and levitation magic to relocate his home to an altitude of 10,000 meters. Everywhere in Latasom, you can see a large city made of small cubes connected by pulsed electricity, lakes and rivers flowing above the clouds, and an automaton operated by a virtual touch screen.
The Asuras believe in eternal alchemy, the idea that all life and magic in the world is an equation of great purpose, or part of some mechanism. They believe that once they have fully mastered the art of eternal alchemy, they will be able to master the entire Tyria star. Eternal alchemy is the system of thought of Asura. Those who believe in eternal alchemy believe that all life exists for some greater meaning, even the true gods of human faith, and that even magic is only a cog of eternal alchemy.
Asura's belief in eternal alchemy is also very evident in the style of the city, with a variety of giant block machines that make people feel very sci-fi and avant-garde, and throughout the continent of Tyria, there are Asura Star Gates, which connect major cities, and because of this, Asura maintains a neutral relationship with other races, although there is no obvious conflict in faith, but their excessive pursuit of wisdom and alchemy makes them arrogant. This can be felt very intuitively from Lingbao.
Lingbao gushed about Asura and Rata Som, and he seemed to love his hometown, which made Li Weiji even more puzzled, why would a person who loved his hometown wander to the land of mankind?
When Li Weiji asked like this, Lingbao's eyes were full of loss.
After a long time, Lingbao said, "I don't want to leave my homeland." But who called me a descendant of the interrogatory? The direction of our research in Azula is very avant-garde, which also means that we will encounter some ethical problems. Most of the Asura are reluctant to touch these borders. But how can scientific development be timid? As a result, there was a split within the Asura of experimenters who were willing to try more dangerous and unethical experiments, and they called themselves the Interrogators. In fact, Asura's management organization has many members of the Interrogation Panel, which are often used to work on unpopular but essential projects. ”
Li Weiji probably understood what kind of organization the interrogation team was, and probably guessed that Lingbao's parents must have had to make sacrifices because of some unsightly events.
Lingbao sighed, "When I was twelve years old, my parents were criticized for studying dragon energy. Just as their experiments were progressing, the laboratory exploded and they lost their lives in flames. Their interrogation team was revealed, and I was immediately isolated. ”
Lingbao lay on Li Weiji's shoulder, wiped his eyes, and said, "Then I began to wander and be disliked everywhere, but fortunately, Isara liked me very much, so I stayed here." ”
Fortunately, someone liked it, so they stayed.
The tone was relaxed and calm, but he couldn't stop the tears.
Li Weiji walked silently, and the falling stone waterfall was already in front of him.
"Don't talk about that." Lingbao exhaled a turbid breath, "After entering the quagmire town, we may have some trouble, I need you to come forward to help me solve it." The identity of the high-ranking commander of the Seraphs should be able to settle this matter. If you really can't, you will have the force to subdue her. ”
"Who are you talking about?" Li Weiji had heard Lingbao mention this person more than once.
"Her name is Kali, and she's a girl about my age, but she's mastered the four elemental magic. I had a bit of a holiday with her, which was actually a misunderstanding. ”
"What is the holiday?" Li Weiji got to the bottom of it.
Lingbao said embarrassedly: "For some embarrassing reason, the women in Quagmire Town mistakenly think I'm a pervert and like to scratch their butts...... That's why they formed the Guild of Lingbao Must Die to snipe me. A year ago, Cali came to Quagmire, and I accidentally grabbed her ass, and she burned her hair out with fire, and then she became the president. ”
Li Weiji stopped, he turned his head and looked angry: "You touched someone's ass and said it was a misunderstanding?" Are you deliberately lying to me? ”
Lingbao was frank in his heart, stared at Li Weiji and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I didn't lie to you." Now I'm going to tell you about Cali's abilities, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles. ”
Li Weiji shook his head and said, "If you don't make it clear to me today, I won't help you." ”
Lingbao snorted, slipped along Li Weiji's shoulder to the ground, and reached out to pat Li Weiji's buttocks: "Understood?" ”
Li Weiji understood.
Lingbao climbed back to Li Weiji's shoulder: "Although Kali has mastered the four elemental magics, what she is best at is fire magic. From what I've observed for a long time, there are three kinds of fire magic in her. ”
After Lingbao's explanations one by one, Li Weiji had a preliminary impression of Kali's ability, and combined with the skills he had learned, he quickly came up with a set of emergency combat methods.
Li Weiji said with a pleasant face: "This matter is first of all a misunderstanding, I can help you explain, but you also have to sincerely apologize." In order to ensure smooth communication, I need you to pretend to be convinced by me. With my status, and your admitting of your mistakes, this matter can be resolved peacefully. I'm not going to help you fight unless I absolutely can. ”
Speaking of fighting, Li Weiji suddenly remembered Li Yilai, more than three hours had passed since the separation, and I didn't know if he had learned combat skills.
Thinking of this, Li Weiji asked: "Do you have anything to find someone, I want to find my comrade-in-arms, he may be able to help us." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Lingbao took out a compass-shaped object from his arms: "Yes, yes." But don't blame me. ”
"Why should I blame you?"
Lingbao rubbed his ears and said, "Do you remember when a small group of centaurs raided you before you arrived in Mire Town?" At that time, I was actually there, and I took the opportunity to place a locator on your armor, so I could keep track of your position at all times. That's why I can hide behind the steel pipe to scare you, I already knew you were looking for me. ”
Li Weiji had no idea about the centaur raid, and at that time he and Li Yi had not yet entered the dungeon.
However, since Lingbao said so, he couldn't deny it, so he had to smile and say, "You are really a goblin, you started calculating us so early." ”
"For the sake of Isara's happiness, I have to plan long-term."
In this way, the two came to the quagmire town and found Li Yi, just in time to bump into Cali and release the fire phoenix. In a hurry, Li Weiji used the emergency combat method he thought of, avoiding the fire phoenix, [swooping] close, and [sword hilt slamming] knocked Kali unconscious.
"Oh, that's what happened." Li Yi listened to Li Weiji's eloquent words, "It's a pity that you said a lot, and I don't remember much." There is only one thing I am most concerned about now, why does Lingbao touch the girl's buttocks? Why did he say he didn't have to touch the girl after having you? Has your relationship developed to this point? ”
"Because he's short."
Li Weiji snickered.
