Chapter Seventy-Eight: New Members (2-in-1)
These young people, like Xiao Shun, Yang Yangyang and others, are also a group of guys who love adventure, and they are quite famous in this circle.
The girl named Xia Sha went directly to the computer, flipping her fingers, and the content on the web page was displayed in front of everyone.
"Mysterious giant islands in the Pacific Ocean, with an area of nearly 1 million square kilometers......"
"A special force field surrounds the mysterious island, stagnating all the machinery, and Professor Noah says that there may be quantum state interference, and even satellites cannot detect it......"
"China's Third Naval Fleet has now gone to explore, of which the 3rd Aircraft Carrier Battle Group and the 5th Aircraft Carrier Battle Group will carry out long-term stationing and in-depth investigation missions......
"At present, the countries of the world have reached a preliminary agreement to cooperate in blocking the peripheral areas of the magnetic field and launching a joint exploration operation on the 'new island'......
“……”
In addition to these eye-popping information, the webpage is also accompanied by photos of the scene. Inside, there are not only aerial views of the vast steel fleet blocking the sea, but also some precious pictures of the interior of that mysterious island.
Looking at the scene of unknown corals and strange eye stones on the monitor, the rest of the expedition group were all dumbfounded, and even the alarm clock, which had been complaining before, closed its mouth at the moment, staring at the screen without blinking.
"Oh my God! There's really something there! The grapevine turned out to be true!? Someone exclaimed.
"I'll go! O mysterious island! Look at those things, it's clear that they are corals on the bottom of the sea! How do I feel like this island has been pulled up from the sea? Geography Week, what do you think? ”
The bespectacled boy on the side had a long mouth, and he was unaware of his partner's question, and he didn't come back to his senses until the other party repeated it a few more times.
"Impossible, how can this be, even if it is a volcanic eruption, it shouldn't have developed into this in such a short period of time...... It shouldn't be...... It's not scientific......"
The boy muttered to himself, and the people around him understood, and it seemed that this guy couldn't see why.
"I'll just say it's for reiki revival! Not to mention the previous 'light event' that caused a sensation in the world, just looking at this island, it is definitely a symbol of spiritual revival. ”
"That's right, this time I support Zhou Yu! That island is either a blessed cave with great treasures, or a source of terror that will give birth to monsters, and we must hurry up. Even if you can't seize the opportunity to be one step ahead of others everywhere, at least you must prepare sufficient materials and environment and be ready to evacuate at any time! ”
"Alarm clock, didn't you say there must be nothing there? Why is it said differently now? Someone teased.
The alarm clock stalked his neck and said, "I've already guessed that there's something here, I'm just trying to test your judgment...... Okay, now that we all have a goal and a boat, what are we waiting for! Hurry up and get ready to go! ”
Shi Yong, who was drinking water, almost squirted out the water in his mouth when he heard this, and he said helplessly: "Let's go? Where to go? That island? Get rid of, more than 3,000 kilometers, can we drive that broken yacht? And didn't you read what it says, the machinery can't work, and the surrounding area is blocked by the navies of various countries, just a few of us? ”
"Uh...... So what do we do now? ”
"Go here!"
Shi Yong said and came to the computer, took the mouse from Xia Sha's hand, and clicked on another web page: "Look here, this is a transaction information I saw on an antique collection website in the United States. ”
All eyes were on the computer screens.
There is a message that has been sold, the item sold is a shield, and the price is shown at 20,000 pounds, which is also a lot of income for ordinary people.
"Look here, do you find anything?"
Hearing this, several people looked at the shield seriously for a moment, and suddenly one of them said, "Wait a minute! Why do I feel so familiar with this shield? Is this ......?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yong had already opened another picture, which was in a forest, and a cool black flying machine was hovering above the ground.
Shi Yong enlarged the picture and turned it to the thing on the front of the aircraft that resembled a car logo.
"Shield! It's the shield in this symbol! Almost identical!! Finally someone reacted.
Zhou Yu pondered, "Could it be that this shield has some kind of connection with the mysterious person we saw last time?" Or is it just a coincidence? ”
Shi Yong replied: "This must not be a coincidence, I have been looking for this style of shield for a long time, but I have never found anything similar. You can see the sun on it, and the positions of the swords on both sides, which are carved out of the same mold as the one in this flying machine. ”
"So I'm guessing there's some kind of connection between them, maybe this shield is part of that kind of sign......"
The alarm clock slapped the chair and laughed, "Haha, what am I talking about?" What am I talking about? Let you divert your attention to other places first, and there will definitely be a harvest, and you will not stop! I already knew that there must be a cat in this place......"
"Shut up!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Shi Yong continued: "Here is the seller's address information, located at No. 33 Frost Road, Woodstock Town, Oxfordshire, Eagle Country, which is a former aristocratic manor, and things are sold from here, we just need to go here to investigate first." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Brother Yong is powerful!"
Shi Yong smiled calmly, waved his hand and said, "I've seen it, their family will have a private auction in a while, and we can just go over and have a look at it then." ”
The young people who wanted to pursue excitement immediately became hotly discussed, and everyone worked hard for so many days to finally find a clue about the mysterious person.
If Zhang Xiaoman was here, he would be surprised to find that the place they were talking about was the information of an unactivated person in their gang member list.
……
The sun rises and the moon sets, and a day and night pass quickly. Today is August 22nd, which is a slightly special day for Zhang Xiaoman.
If you calculate according to your actual age, then today is Zhang Xiaoman's 25th birthday.
For this kind of small birthday, he is actually not very excited, usually just cook more food at home, or ask a good man to go out for a barbecue hot pot together.
Originally, he planned to spend his birthday like this time, after all, there are still many things waiting for him to complete.
Teleported back from the Origin Realm, Zhang Xiaoman planned to rest for an hour and then go back to practice, after two days of training, he was pleasantly surprised to find something.
After he used his skills many times to consume dark energy, the dark energy channel of his main body actually widened, in other words, his energy ceiling increased!
If the current Zhang Xiaoman is equipped with a cape of 5 points of spiritual power, then he will have a ceiling of 161 points of dark energy.
Although it was only 1 point higher, it was undoubtedly very good news for him, letting him know that in addition to increasing his mental power, there was another way to increase the energy ceiling, and it was also the easiest way.
Zhang Xiaoman guessed based on his own feelings that if he wanted to increase the upper limit of dark energy through training, it was not the kind of skill that could be used piecemeal twice, but he needed to continuously use the skill, and the time needed to reach at least 5 hours to improve.
It's like when people are exercising, the previous exercises are just consuming energy and not having much effect. And only after continuous exercise reaches a certain period of time, can the purpose of exercise be truly achieved.
He calculated that if he was going to follow the current training intensity, then if he was lucky, he could even increase his dark energy limit by 1 point a day.
Of course, there may be a more scientific training method for the improvement of dark energy, but this is not what he knows at the moment. However, this speed alone is already very powerful for his current level. Combined with the Qiling Kaleidoscope, which is also an average of 1 point of spiritual power in ten days, then he can almost achieve an increase in the upper limit of 2 points per day.
Of course, all of this is ideal, in reality he doesn't necessarily have time to train like this all the time, and he must keep a certain amount of dark energy for himself when hunting monsters.
The improvement of dark energy is undoubtedly good news, and as for the mastery of the Enlightenment Array technique, he can now almost complete the overall arrangement of the first 216 sequence.
That afternoon, Zhang Xiaoman took advantage of the free time he had vacated to sleep for a while, but not long after, he received a phone call, which was from Lin Sisi's girl.
It turns out that this girl has the same birthday as herself, and according to her actual age, today is her last birthday before she turns twenty.
Zhang Xiaoman was invited by the little girl to go out to dinner together, and when the girl stammered and said those words, he could even imagine the embarrassed appearance of the other party on the other end of the phone.
Although he was busy with the affairs of the Spirit Formation Array, he still had the time to go out for a meal. Besides, he couldn't bear to refuse such a poor girl's invitation.
But strictly speaking, this is the first time Zhang Xiaoman has eaten alone with a girl.
That night, Lin Sisi wore a bright red dress and walked with Zhang Xiaoman on the pedestrian street in the center of the city, her little hand was held by the latter, and she followed him with her eyes closed. When the surrounding passers-by saw this scene, they all cast curious glances, which also contained some regrets and blessings.
This is also the first time Lin Sisi has come to such a place in more than a year, although she has always had a guide dog to guide the way, she never dared to run too far from home.
In a restaurant, the two sat facing each other, Zhang Xiaoman wanted to get up and secretly settle the account, but was told that the location here was that Lin Sisi had paid through the Internet before he came.
Zhang Xiaoman had to walk back stupidly, and he didn't expect that the first time he had dinner with the girl, he would let the other party treat him.
It's not that he's guilty of any machismo, it's that he doesn't want to spend the money in Lin Sisi's hands.
Because the savings in this girl's hand for daily life were all compensation given by the perpetrator after the car accident, and he couldn't bear to use such money.
The diners around were all paying attention to the situation at this table, one was that it was a beautiful but blind girl who was unexpected, and the other was that the bright red dress on Lin Sisi's body was too conspicuous.
"Sisi, don't you like red? I've heard that girls who like red are the kind of people who are more enthusiastic...... "Zhang Xiaoman uses his awkward chat skills.
Lin Sisi was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "No, I prefer goose yellow, Brother Xiaoman, why do you ask that?" ”
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, looked at the clothes on the other party and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I look at the big red dress you are wearing, I thought you liked red." ”
Lin Sisi couldn't help touching his clothes, and then said uncertainly: "Huh? Isn't this dress goose yellow? ”
Zhang Xiaoman was also confused: "This is obviously red......"
The little girl's face turned red when she heard this, she lowered her head, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, Zhang Xiaoman could only barely hear some words like buying the wrong one.
In this way, the two rookies in the love field ended the dinner in this awkward chat. In fact, when it comes to feelings, Zhang Xiaoman still has a little feeling for Lin Sisi.
Although he is now a transcendent, the Lord of the Stars, the Lord of the Primordial Realm, the leader of the Covenant, the founder of the Covenant, and the man with the system, this does not prevent him from having a liking for the latter.
Zhang Xiaoman's feelings for Lin Sisi are actually a bit strange, at the beginning, he went to the other party's house to kill monsters for points, and when he learned about her situation later, his sympathy for her accounted for most of it. After repeated contact, there are some inexplicable feelings in it.
However, these two people are more introverted personalities, so some things that could have been done naturally have not been done so far.
After the meal, Zhang Xiaoman remembered his time about the Spirit Enlightenment Array, and couldn't help but take this opportunity to tell the other party.
"I know I may be a bit selfish in this request, but at the moment I can't find anyone else who can help, if you want, I can help you awaken too, so that when you are alone in the future, you can also use that ability to detect dark energy at any time."
"Ah, no, Brother Xiaoman, you have done so much for me, it is only right for me to do you some favors......"
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and interrupted her: "It's okay, anyway, a sheep is daring, and a group of sheep is also driving ...... Ahem, I mean, it's not expensive to help you awaken anyway, and I'll teach you Soul Detection when the time comes, so that when you encounter danger in the future, at least you can know what direction to run in, after all, those monsters can be seen clearly by Spirit Detection. ”
Lin Sisi was a little confused by what he said, and subconsciously asked, "Monster? What monsters? Is it the same as the last one? ”
Zhang Xiaoman took a sip of juice and said: "When the time comes, I'm telling you that your eyes are inconvenient, and it will be good for you to help you wake up, although it will increase the probability of thinking identity, but after all, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages......
"It's still important to be able to detect danger in advance, and when the time comes, if you find anything other than me, call me as soon as possible, and I'll come over to help you."
As he spoke, he poured a full drink for the other party and continued: "By the way, I may have something to do in the past two days, and I can't come to you for the time being." If there is something to do, call me, send a voice message if the phone doesn't get through, and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it. ”
The girl was still thinking about the series of things he had just said, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, thank you Brother Xiaoman, I will take care of my ......"
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and lightly touched the cup in the other party's hand.
"Happy birthday."
"You're ...... too"
