In the patio, the summer is scorching, and the blowing fist wind gradually subsides.

Lin Tuo couldn't calm down for a long time.

Over the years, because of his work, although he still maintained the habit of practicing martial arts, he eventually ...... Still lazy.

I thought that it would take a while to pick up the effort after I resigned and came back, but I never thought about it...... Just absorbed the ether of Yangcheng, and the whole person was not only reborn, but also integrated what he had learned in the past twenty years in one fell swoop, pushing the martial ancestor into a soldier fist to the realm of Xiaocheng.

"No, with the blessing of the ether, this is no longer a mortal martial art, it is almost a spell." Lin Tuo exhaled fiercely.

He only felt that his whole body was comfortable, his mental state was abnormally full, and his body was light, but he knew that Fang Cai's blow was a special situation.

If you want to reproduce it, it is not that simple, it will take some time to completely digest the aether stored in the body.

And this attempt also confirms what the Yanhua sand table said that this mysterious gas is indeed of great benefit to life.

"How much aether do I have in my body now?" After calming down, Lin Tuo couldn't help but ask.

[Host's current ETH: 98 points]

"In the entire Yang City, millions of talents have only produced less than a hundred points?" Lin Tuo asked in some surprise.

Immediately, the answer of the derivative sand table came to mind:

[Collecting ether through the sand table will generate a large amount of conversion loss......]

The explanation was very long, and Lin Tuo combed it with his eyes closed before he understood the mechanism.

To put it simply, there are not so many aethers in the sky above Yangcheng, but activating the sand table to collect and transform will itself cause a great loss of this energy.

In other words, most of what is absorbed is wasted in the transformation process...... What Lin Tuo got was only the rest.

Of course, theoretically, absorbing the ether is not only through the sand table, after mastering the gas consumption method, Lin Tuo can also directly absorb this gas through exhalation.

But that kind of efficiency is lower than the sand table...... And it will waste a lot of time, so in general, it is more cost-effective to use the sand table than to spit out and cultivate by yourself.

"So how can I get more ether? Can we just wait for it to slowly regenerate? ”

Lin Tuo tried to ask, but just 98 points gave him such a big improvement, which no intelligent life could refuse.

According to the information he obtained, the natural generation of aether is very slow, and this time it will be picked out, and it will take several days for the concentration of aether in Yangcheng to recover.

[Trigger keywords, put forward requirements for the host, and now give two feasible solutions]

[Plan 1: Buy area in the mall and expand the scope of observation mode]

Lin Tuo was stunned and immediately understood the logic of this plan.

Quite simply, if the aether is widely present in cities and villages, then now he can only absorb the range of Yang City, and as long as he expands the observable urban range in the sand table, he can absorb the aether of other cities.

Imagine that one day, the entire earth can be condensed in a sand table by purchasing area, then Lin Tuo can theoretically pick the whole world.

"But...... This won't work......" Lin Tuo thought about it, and his face was a little bitter.

The price in the mall, 10,000 square kilometers needs 1,000 points, and you only have 98 points...... Far from enough.

Even if you spit out all the aether in your body, you can't afford it, unless you save it slowly, and then expand the area when you save it up to 1000.

However, I don't know how long it will take......

Probably sensing his emotions, new information resurfaced in his mind:

[Solution 2: Use the "creation mode" of the evolved sand table to provide a new source of Ether]

"Creative mode?" Lin Tuo immediately shifted his gaze to the virtual panel.

This mode is located just below the "Observation Mode".

But I don't know what it means.

In the next second, a large explanation turned into a stream of information and poured into his mind.

In simple terms.

The "observation mode" is to look at a real area of the Earth.

Then, the "creative mode" is to use the evolved sand table to select areas on the earth and establish an independent sandbox, or in other words, to "cut out" a certain part of the earth.

"isolated" as a separate space.

Using the function of the sand table, from scratch, to evolve civilization and produce a new group of intelligent life...... Then, through the difference in the speed of time between reality and the "sandbox", the ether in the sandbox world is quickly harvested.

The principle is very simple, but the impact of this function on Lin Tuo is extremely huge.

"Use a real region of the earth as a sandbox, evolve civilization in it, and harvest the ether...... As for playing so big? ”

You know, it's not as simple as closing the door and making up a sandbox world on your own.

The civilization created by Lin Tuo is real on the earth!

Moreover, any life and matter he creates in the sandbox exists on Earth in a 1:1 ratio.

Once the creative mode is opened, in this information age, it will inevitably cause immediate global shocks.

Imagine if Lin Tuo used the whole of Antarctica as a sandbox...... Then, it may only take a few tens of minutes for the news of Antarctica's mysterious "disappearance" to spread around the world.

And once he lifted the isolation of the sandbox, mankind will be stunned to find that the entire barren Antarctic continent has become a different appearance......

How much of a sensation would this cause?

With heaven and earth as the chessboard, Lin Tuo's every move will set off a global storm.

"There is no ...... Something else, a more modest solution? Lin Tuo swallowed and foamed at the mouth, trying to ask.

【……】

"Well, it seems that there is really none, so it won't be difficult for you." Lin Tuo sighed, rubbed his face, and thought seriously.

Although this plan seems a bit outrageous at first, if you think about it carefully, the feasibility is actually very high, and not all areas of the earth are inhabited.

It shouldn't be a big problem to take out those barren places as sandboxes...... Right?

Anyway, no one knew he did it.

"Why don't you try it first?"

After a short period of hesitation, Lin Tuo returned to the old house, came to the sand table, and clicked the "Creative Mode" button on the virtual panel with his mind.

The page changes.

The Yang City in the sand table also suddenly turned into countless brilliance and disappeared.

Instead, there was a tiled map of the world!

Yes!

In the entire sandbox, a dynamic world map has appeared!

However, unlike the observation mode, this map is a bit illusory, unable to see the details, and can only identify several continents and oceans around the world.

In the direction that Lin Tuo was facing, the closest to him was Antarctica, which was white, and when his gaze moved forward, he could see a piece of land hanging alone in the sea.

"Australia."

Lin Tuo gently spit out the words, although the global map in front of him has no text markings, and there is no division of territory, but Australia, a continent with obvious characteristics, can still be recognized at a glance.

"If this is Australia, then the blue area on my right should be the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean on my left......"

Lin Tuo muttered to himself, trying to identify the different areas.

I have to admit that after losing the division of national borders, the distinction of color blocks, and the text logo, the world map in front of me suddenly became unfamiliar.

In contrast, only the border of China, where he lived, was easier to find, after all, this map had been read too many times since he was a child.

At this time, Lin Tuo also noticed that on the map, there was also a faint grid that cut the global area into one square after another.

[Creative mode is on, please select the sandbox area]

[Note: The selected area must be less than 300,000 square kilometers]

The information in his mind appeared, Lin Tuo was stunned, and understood its meaning, similar to the observation model, the sandbox he wanted to create was also limited, and he could only choose a maximum of 300,000 square kilometers of land at present.

As for whether it can be expanded in the future, it is unclear.

"If the area is too small, I'm afraid that there will be no civilization at all, and the ether provided will be ......very small," Lin Tuo muttered to himself, secretly calculating, feeling that he had to make full use of the 300,000 quota as much as possible......

"Where to choose?"

Lin Tuo's gaze swept over the seven continents of the world.

"Well...... You can't choose a densely populated place, otherwise you won't become the Great Demon King of the World...... You can only choose uninhabited land...... Antarctica is big enough, but it's too special and too far away...... Hey? ”

Suddenly, when Lin Tuo's gaze swept over the northwest of China, he suddenly stopped.

It is the largest "no man's land" in the country - the Tucker Desert.

"I remember reading in a book before, this desert has a total area of 330,000 square kilometers...... Thinking of this number, a thought suddenly surged into Lin Tuo's heart: This is it!

The area is about the same, and it is barren enough.

It's in the country, close enough to yourself.

Moreover, over the years, greening projects have been carried out in China, and countless people hope that the desert will become an oasis, and if this place is chosen as a sand table, it may directly change the ecological environment here.

Closing the sandbox in the future may also benefit the local community.

As for the negative issues that may arise...... With your own "creator" to guard, you can avoid it to the greatest extent.

"What if there are humans and buildings in the area I choose?"

Lin Tuo tried to ask.

[During the construction of the sandbox, you can choose to transfer the intelligent life and characteristic creations in the area]

"Can this be?"

Lin Tuo was stunned, and the last doubts in his heart dissipated.

Lean over immediately and operate.

Every time his hand touches an illusory grid, the area is selected.

Because the whole desert is not a regular shape, it really took him a lot of effort, and in the process, he selected the buildings that needed to be moved, mainly a few desert roads, and marked the location of the move.

By the time he had done all this, he had probably chosen less than 290,000 square kilometers of land.

[After the selection is completed, will the sandbox be built in the selected area?] 】

"Yes!"

[The host has been confirmed, and the sandbox area is being "cleaned"...... Selected Building Translation ...... Isolation cover is being generated......】

The information appeared in his mind, and then, the entire sand table changed, and the world map disappeared, leaving only the desert area chosen by Lin Tuo.

Then, a translucent light curtain rose around the sand table and closed at the top, like a huge transparent cover, isolating the entire desert from the outside world.

……

……

Meanwhile.

In the endless Tucker Desert, it is the afternoon when the sun is at its most poisonous.

In this sandy Gobi and desert, on a pitch-black road like a ribbon, several cars are speeding forward.

This is a well-known film and television crew, which specially came to this inaccessible place to film.

Inside the car.

"It's going to take a long time to get there." A crew member fanned the wind with his hands, wiped his sweat, looked at the poplar trees on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but say.

The field reporter next to him glanced at his phone and said, "Soon, what's the hurry, the sun is poisoning, why are you in a hurry to go out......"

"Hey, why did my GPS fail...... This map app is broken, right? ”

"What's wrong?" Someone in the car asked.

"The map positioning of my mobile phone seems to be out of order, I was still here just now, why all of a sudden, the map shows that we ran dozens of kilometers away......"

The field reporter was complaining with a puzzled face, when he suddenly heard the driver exclaim, "! ”

Even the whole car began to slow down.

"What's wrong again?" A carload of people were alarmed and looked at each other.

Then, I saw the driver with a ghostly look, pointing to the front windshield, his face was pale, his expression was frightened, and his words were confused: "We ...... No...... Road...... It'......"

"What the hell is going on?"

"We ...... The road under our feet is like ...... Shifted! ”

……

At this moment, the Tucker Desert.

Four desert highways are quietly "moving" at the same time!
