Chapter 728: Change
Three years have passed.
On a global scale, three years is not a long time, but there are still too many changes.
This is especially true for the spirit world.
……
It was another uneventful morning.
When Cao Wei was woken up by the alarm clock and had to get out of bed, she couldn't help but yawn and felt groggy in the head.
Glancing at the handheld thrown next to the pillow, she sighed and confessed for the Nth time:
"Caowei, you can't go on like this! Kindness...... From tomorrow onwards, be sure to go to bed on time. ”
Reverently and earnestly, she got up, walked into the bathroom, and patted her fleshy face with water, and then came to her senses.
In the mirror, Cao Wei's face was still beautiful despite the dark circles under her eyes.
Three years have passed, and she has finally grown taller again, En...... Although it is still very short, after all, there are signs of development, which is still a good thing after all.
It's just that when she touched her chest in the mirror, she couldn't help but look a little depressed......
"It's still far from it......"
Sighing helplessly, she quickly finished washing, then pushed open the door and walked down the stairs to the first-floor dining room.
At this moment, the sunlight was already shining through the glass door, and the table was already filled with food for four people.
Nuwa was eating with her legs crossed and indecently flipping through the latest magazine, and the well-nourished Ai Lu smiled as usual and greeted:
"Xiaocao, it's time to eat, it's still hot."
"Come on." Cao Wei answered, and then walked over with two pink slippers, sat down, picked up a glass of papaya milk, and poured a big sip like a ruthless mouthful, and then she reacted: "What about Cheng Lin?" ”
"I went out early in the morning, and it seems like I'm going to World No. 4." Eru thought for a moment and replied.
Then he added: "He said he wanted us to eat first, no need to wait." ”
"Oh." Cao Wei nodded, and then complained, "Why is he so diligent day by day, no one is his opponent anyway." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a gentle voice behind her:
"You think everyone is as lazy as you?"
At the same time, a little bit of light appeared, and a thin thread of spiritual energy quickly outlined a figure, and then Cheng Lin was revealed.
He was dressed in a loose white suit that resembled a practice uniform, and there were no accessories on his body.
In the past three years, Cheng Lin's appearance has not changed much, but his temperament, compared with three years ago, is more natural, gestures, and a lot less fireworks.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Cao Wei's round face dotingly, and said with a smile:
"Look, you're getting fat like a pig."
"Why!" Cao Wei snorted angrily, knocked down his hand, and then glared and said, "Cheng Lin, can you not be so scary when you appear in the future?" ”
"Okay, it's my fault," Cheng Lin smiled and didn't get angry, sat down casually, then took a sip of porridge, and said, "When I go out today, I will give you whatever I want to buy, which is considered compensation." ”
"That's pretty much it." Cao Wei pursed her lips, and then continued to drink the papaya milk intently, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile.
After calming her down, Cheng Lin asked casually while eating breakfast: "By the way, how is the order from the No. 5 world before?" ”
Nuwa finally took her eyes off the magazine, removed the leg that was randomly placed on the chair next to her, and then paused for two seconds, as if to exchange data with the Fertile World, before saying:
"Almost, it should be delivered tomorrow."
"By the way, Ailu, the new batch of machines ordered by your royal court last time has also been assembled, when you want it, I will send a car to send it to you."
Eru swallowed the food in her mouth, then thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the other side later." ”
Seeing that they finalized these "little things" in a few words, Cheng Lin couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, he looked away and looked out the window.
In the past three years, the spiritual world has undergone many changes, and the area has expanded a lot, and now it is equivalent to a large city, and the edge of the world can no longer be seen by the eyes alone.
A large amount of land has been added, and naturally a lot of new houses have been built, as a large landowner in the spiritual world, Cheng Lin is quite arrogant in building houses, and various design styles are fully played.
However, due to the high barrier to entry, the main buildings are just beautiful residential areas.
After language learning, the elven priests who passed the graduation exam could have a separate residence here, and they were also responsible for the daily maintenance of the spirit world.
No, Cheng Lin is really too lazy to really turn this place into a city, so it will be bothersome to manage it like that.
So most of the land is still deserted, but special robots have been built to prune it daily and keep it beautiful, and he even has a little disgust that the place is too big.
In three years, four new passages were added to the "Earth" of the rest of the space-time, leading to the first, second, sixth, and eleventh projection worlds respectively.
As a result, there are as many as seven worlds that can be connected to the spiritual realm.
They are also numbered separately.
The projection named No. 4 refers to the world of the first deduction, that is, the earth that was completely deserted and unupgraded under the "heavenly fire".
Considering that the value here is too low, so don't use it as a "practice place" for Cheng Lin to use it as a daily practice ability, test combat power, and consider the exercises, which makes him sigh from time to time, probably no one can use a planet as a practice ground as arrogantly as he does.
The rest of the worlds are either used for resource extraction, as a resource supplement for the Fertile Soil Factory, or for some simple trade with the countries over there.
Cheng Lin only produced and traded some small civilian commodities with a neutral attitude, which can be regarded as the initial completion of his original business concept of "connecting all worlds, doing business and collecting tolls".
As for communicating with a truly developed civilization, I didn't do it, mainly because I hated trouble.
And cultivation...... Thanks to the fact that spirit ore can be mined from different worlds and hunted beasts above the middle level, the opening of the "Spirit Gathering Array" has become much easier.
And the seven worlds plus the spiritual energy reserves of the spirit world itself are already too much for Cheng Lin himself...... So much so, completely exhausted.
All in all, a great change has taken place for both himself and the spirit world.
However, three years have passed, and the white-haired "they" that Shi Shengcun spoke of have not yet arrived.
……
……
While thinking, breakfast ended quickly, and the daily affairs were dealt with, after which the four people in the villa went back to the house to change their clothes and gathered at the door.
Get ready to go out.
This is also something that was agreed on two days ago.
"Everyone is together, let's go, let's go! Otherwise, it's too late! Nuwa was very excited.
Cheng Lin smiled slightly, and then opened the door of the spirit realm with a wave of his hand.
The four of them came out together, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared out of thin air in an alley in the center of the real magic capital.
This is also the new location of the entrance to the spiritual realm after many moves.
In the past three years, Cheng Lin has often taken them into reality to play, of course, but also to purchase some necessary materials, after all, it is impossible for a fertile soil factory to produce all the objects.
Therefore, he has never really been out of touch with reality, but just lives in the world "incognito" as Shi Shengcun expected.
During this period, Cheng Lin was even idle and bored, and went to the scenic spots and metropolises of most countries in the world, turning on the "mind control" ability, as long as he avoided a few supernatural people, he could play with swagger.
Later, as his strength increased, his comprehension and study of his abilities became more thorough, and gradually, he no longer needed to deliberately avoid those cultivators, but could only use spiritual abilities to cover them.
It's just that compared with foreign countries, he finally feels that China is more accustomed to it.
……
"Gone! Let's go! Call us a taxi. Running out of the alley, Nuwa looked at Cheng Lin and said.
As soon as the words fell, the car that was driving on the side of the road leaned over, opened the door, and didn't bother to call any more cars, and the four of them happily squeezed in.
Cheng Lin was leisurely sandwiched by the soft and youthful body on the left and right, and he was at ease, and immediately heard Nuwa quickly report a place name.
That's where she's going today, a big comic show.
As for Cao Wei and Ai Lu, they just came out to go shopping.
This is already a daily routine for them, and although the spiritual world is good, it is just a bigger house after all.
As for the many worlds that are connected, most of them are not as developed as real entertainment.
Compared with the early spring in the spirit world, the climate in reality is close to midsummer, and today is also an excellent weather, Cheng Lin nephrite is in his arms, listening to the chatter of several girls in the car, he just calmly looks at the city outside the car window.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
When he came back to his senses, the car had stopped, and when everyone came out, they saw the colorful and grand event venue in front of him, which had obviously begun.
Nuwa cheered, said "I'm going to play first" and ran over, and Cheng Lin smiled wryly.
At this moment, in comparison, the fashionably dressed Nuwa is more in line with the definition of an otaku than Cao Wei, who plays games all day long.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" Cheng Lin looked at them with a smile.
Ai Lu was dressed coolly and casually, looking at him: "I can go anywhere." ”
After a pause, she looked at Cao Wei: "Xiaocao, what about you?" ”
Cao Wei was wearing a sunhat and a white dress, she wrinkled her nose when she heard the words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to a shop in the distance: "Let's go eat." ”
"Okay." Ai Lu nodded with a smile, then looked at Cheng Lin, and saw him smile, "You guys go first, I'll walk around by myself." ”
"Okay." Ai Lu nodded, and then led Cao Wei and the two towards the store.
Cheng Lin didn't show any unease, and so did they, because with Cheng Lin's current understanding of abilities, the coverage of "mind control" could already envelop the entire Demon Capital, or even larger.
As long as he is within his reach, no one will show curiosity about them, but will only meet their needs very reasonably, and at the same time, Cheng Lin can also "flash" to them in an instant through spiritual positioning.
There are many more such methods, which is also a reflection of his deepening experience of power.
After seeing them disperse, Cheng Lin exhaled a little lazily, and then looked at the lively, crowded street, and didn't know where to go for a while.
Just casually along the street, rambling endlessly.
Walking and walking, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly stopped, his eyebrows slightly raised.
I don't know when, he actually came to the place where the "Cultivator's Alley" in the Demon Capital was located.
"It's been a long time." Sighing softly, Cheng Lin happily stepped forward and stepped into it from the camouflaged entrance.
