Chapter 149: A Different Fog Capital
Although the paint bag made Yu Lian feel a little ashamed, the Halo 2000 can afford its position in the private car industry. The inside is very spacious and comfortable, and it is no problem for three or five people to lie down and sleep in it, even if you want to play with the car...... It's actually very rewarding to sail the boat to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by a starry sky and an endless ocean, right?
Yu Lian turned on the unmanned system, set the destination to the yacht dock on the outskirts of the fog capital, and opened the small pocket to check the most important gain of the day - the zero element of the psionics who died under his hands.
What broke out of those two cultists was Fengyinbei and Chijin. These two things are not easy to upgrade, but they are good materials for making psionic artifacts. However, a good Noble Phantasm requires at least three or more zero elements, and Yu Lian doesn't know that there were any reliable alchemists on the earth fifty years ago, so he can only keep it for fun for now.
It was the Lumina man who gave the surprise. After the death of the Lumina born on the swamp planet, a small amount of mercury-like liquid was separated from their transparent blood, viscous and heavy.
This is a zero element called "pivotal fluid", which is a type of spiritual liquid.
First of all, it is a fairly good material for sword casting. Swords made of spiritual metal can be quenched with this liquid to be re-strengthened and strengthened with occult attributes.
However, this is not enough for even the smallest test tube to quench a toothpick.
Of course, Yu Lian can choose to accumulate a small amount, but the preservation of this spiritual liquid is quite difficult. For the time being, he doesn't have any professional preservation equipment around him, let alone a foolproof safe house.
Therefore, if you have a lot of dreams at night, you should choose another way. Now it's the second ring, but there's no problem.
Yu Lian looked at the liquid like mercury in the test tube, and was a little worried for a while. Although he had already had experience in this area in his previous life, he still had goosebumps. Or, it was precisely because of the experience of his previous life that he would be worried.
"The path you choose, you have to finish it on your knees! Bitter or not, I want to be twenty-five thousand of RA! Yu Lian said to himself, then closed his eyes, pinched his nose and poured the liquid in the test tube into his stomach. If anyone else is here, they must think that it is the scene of suicide by poisoning.
It really didn't taste like anything, but the sticky, hard, cold sensation crawled straight down the throat and through the esophagus, and then spread from the abdominal cavity to every part of the body. Then, the pain came as promised, and it sounded in almost every part of the body.
If it is the first time for a person to have this kind of experience, he will definitely feel that he has been poisoned in his body and will go to the spirit of the universe at any time, but Yu Lian, who has already experienced this aspect, knows that this is the stage when the spiritual fluid is changing the activity of bones and cells.
Yes. Some zero elements can really be used as super potions with upper limit attributes, and the pivotal fluid is one of them. He can improve the vitality of cells and bone strength, and with the "cell activation" skill that Yu Lian has now mastered, he can more fully digest the spiritual factors in this liquid, so that his physical fitness can be taken to the next level.
…… Let's explain it in terms of the way the game is most familiar to observers outside the universe. The pivotal fluid can increase the character's constitution limit and anti-poison attributes, and the original increase is only 1, but if it is a character with the "Cell Activation" skill, it can be increased by 1.5 to 2.
It's just that the taste of oral administration of this spiritual liquid is really very uncomfortable, and that cold and cold feeling is like taking a living poisonous snake directly orally. Inexperienced people may be scared off directly.
If it weren't for the fact that there really isn't a tragic setting in this universe where transcendents will casually get out of control and become monsters—and even if there is, it's a very special situation—and the direct oral administration of spiritual liquids will definitely be listed as forbidden by the major transcendent organizations, right?
I have to say that this universe still has a preference for the transcendent. It's no wonder that psykers really believe that they are the so-called Chosen People.
Yu Lian trembled on the boat for nearly five minutes before he felt that the spiritual remnants in his body had been digested. In such a short period of time, Yu Lian felt more tired than the battle with the Lumina warrior, so he simply laid down the sofa chair and calmly fell asleep comfortably surrounded by the stars.
He was already a second-ring psyker, and he woke up automatically after just sleeping for more than three hours, and found that the red, blue, and green bars had been fully recovered.
In the process of recovering his physical strength, the Light Wheel 2000, painted in the bag paint, has already crossed the Atlantic Ocean and is anchored at a cruise ship terminal on the outskirts of Wudu.
Obviously, the shuttle delivered by Hachiman should have a global pass, and when it approaches its destination, it will automatically enter the port and berth under the guidance of the port's intelligent AI.
Yu Lian got out of the car door and looked at the city in the distance.
The change of historical line has left this island city isolated outside the old continent without many iconic buildings in its memories. So, for a long time, it was really just a very mediocre island port city.
However, during the reign of the empire, there was a fairly literate and young imperial nobleman, who felt that this small city by the sea had a very "seafarer talking about Yingzhou, and the smoke and waves were difficult to find", so he moved his fiefdom here through the heraldic courtyard. He also built a lot of construction in the city, transplanted a lot of alien animals and plants that he loved, and spent a lot of money to renovate the environment.
You guessed it right, that young nobleman is the famous Earl of Salvin, the one who brought the beast to Earth and formed a symbiotic relationship with Rolling Roll.
By the way, Count Salvin is not a brain-dead fan of Mr. Qinglian, but his original words are probably translated into this meaning.
As mentioned earlier, Earl Salvin is not a simple young man, but also a very talented biologist and environmental engineer. After a period of commotion, but after thinking about it carefully, it was quite scientific, not only did there be no invasion of species, but it really turned the fog into the shape he hoped for.
As a result, when the tide rises, the city is shrouded in a vast mist, with exotic trees and majestic imperial temple-like buildings looming in the midst of it, which really has a bit of a fairyland on earth.
That's how the name of the fog capital came about. is a little more elegant than the "fog" in Yu Lian's hometown, a little more mysterious, and a little more explicit luxury hidden under the low profile.
Of course, Count Salvin, a young biologist and environmental engineer, is far more than that, and we will not show it secretly.
Later, the earth became independent and the community was formed. The descendants of Count Salvin also retreated with the Imperial Governor's Palace, and he spent a lot of effort to transform the city, which naturally became the spoils of war for the earthlings.
Today, it is a medium-sized city with a permanent population of more than two million. However, in summer and autumn, tens of millions of tourists from all over the world and even from all over the world come to view the scenery, and it can be regarded as a very famous tourist destination.
It is said that local residents can earn a whole year's living expenses for their families by operating their houses as homestays for three months.
As a result, the arsenal on the outskirts of the city, which provided a large number of small artillery pieces and firearms to the volunteers of the Revolutionary War, was officially closed ten years ago. After all, the workers all went to open B&Bs, bars, and seaside food trucks.
Of course, don't be busy complaining about the community first, at least in this matter, the community government should not only not take the blame, but also praise it. Although the original arsenal of the fog capital is gone, the community government still left almost all the scientific researchers and technical backbones, and then established a new arsenal on Mars, which is now the famous Martian Gun Bureau.
The military industry of the community as a whole does have a little bit of a taste of civility and martial arts, but there is progress in some specific technical fields. For example, the technical aspect of cannons. No, even the Alliance is working with us.
In short, unlike the metallurgical and mechanical workers of the Big Apple, the overall relocation of the arsenal was very popular with the people of Wudu, and in this case alone, it was a win-win.
Moreover, a Celestial Ball Club built on the original site of the Wudu Arsenal has become a galaxy-level powerhouse in less than ten years since its establishment, and it has suddenly become the pride of the people of the Wudu and even the earth.
When Yu Lian walked into the city, it was less than 9 o'clock in the morning. If according to the original plan, it would be good to take the earliest transoceanic flight from the Big Apple to Wudu, and it would be good to arrive before eleven o'clock, Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh again that he was indeed an ambassador of time management.
The urban area he saw was not too cyberpunk, but like his hometown Jincheng, it belonged to the kind of local city with some characteristics...... It's just that those palace pavilions and circular temple-like buildings that are (in Lu Xi's view) too pompous and ornate are clearly typical of imperial architecture.
This is also the "legacy" left by Earl Salvin and their descendants to the earthlings.
Anyway, if you want to experience the authentic imperial style, come to the fog capital. The city has always been advertised as such.
So, Yu Lian thought about it for a while, and tasted an imperial meal that was said to be very famous and authentic in a fairly good restaurant, and had been recommended by various media and Internet celebrities.
Yes, he was hungry again. There's no way around it, the improvement of the physique by the pivotal fluid is quite physically demanding, so what's not to be satisfied with being able to recover with food?
After the meal, he came to a conclusion. If this boss hadn't had a py, he would have written the words upside down.
Authentic imperial court dishes, he (in his previous life) didn't eat less, if it was all like this, the cook would have been thrown away to feed the trolls.
For example, the steamed silverfin fish used as the main course was not allowed to be seasoned with more than three kinds according to the true imperial standards of the Empire. In this way, the unique and delicious taste of the fish can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. However, this large marine fish from an alien planet is actually quite difficult to handle, and if the scales are not perfectly peeled off, it will have a bitter taste; In addition, if you can't find the perfect time to cook, the taste will also have a great impact.
However, the boss obviously did not handle the ingredients enough, and did not grasp the best time for the fish to come out of the pot, and the meat was a little old, so he simply put a lot of seasonings and even high-end spices, and the bells and whistles were full of a whole fish.
The taste is still good, after all, so many spices can always bring out some impactful flavors. But it's very gaudy.
There were two diners next to him, touting each other with the well-dressed boss who looked like an aristocratic butler.
"Well, it's delicious! Much better than the last time I ate at the Royal College of Art! ”
"No, even if you go to the empire itself, if you can't reach the Heavenly Domain, it's hard to find such authentic deliciousness."
“…… Oops, you're too much of a prize. The chairman of the Royal Academy of Arts is a true imperial nobleman, and he has brought in a whole management team. I still have a lot to learn from others. ”
Although this kind of mutual praise is a bit embarrassing, after all, it is a real social place for adults, Yu Lian still expressed his understanding, and he immediately thought that one of the "temporary crews" he was scheduled to go to the hook, that is, the future SSR, seemed to be studying at that Royal Academy of Art, right?
Or...... After getting down to business, go and get in touch with the feelings. After all, the all-ship exercise is for all fresh college students, isn't it?
