"Ahhh ――Physics is so time-traveling that I don't like it at all. Nana turned off the screen of light that was projected into the air from the bracelet, and buried her head heavily in the only tome on the table.
"Calm down, the high school graduation exam is a hurdle that can't be overcome, hold on, survive this wave, and be relieved in nine months." Sunny Sky folded his legs on the back of the sofa, lying on his back on the sofa like a lazy cat, watching the latest concert recording samples sent by his agent.
"It's still comfortable for Sister Sunny Sky, I've already passed the hurdle of high school, I almost didn't go to class before, how can I pass the graduation exam!" Nana angrily smashed the tome several times with her forehead.
"Oh, Nana is so smart, these things can be learned quickly, and exams can be solved in minutes, aren't they? You need to have some faith. Clear Sky turned off the video and turned his face, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can try to ask me, it seems that I am good at physics." ”
"I feel like I'm living in a world of contradictory theories." Nana finally raised her head, propped her chin on the book, and said leisurely, "I feel that the teachers are confused, either they haven't communicated for a century, otherwise why do they still say that the world is a curved space in the morning physics class, and everything is continuous, and in the afternoon open class, it is said that the world is a straight space with quantum leaps of energy?" ”
Qingkong laughed when he heard it: "The teacher talked about general relativity in the morning, and the afternoon class talked about quantum theory, these two paleophysics theories are actually very useful, although they have been replaced by the theory of quantum gravity in recent decades, but these theories have been authoritative for centuries until today." They are very effective in helping us understand the world as we are - in fact, who can say anything about this world, science is a process of continuous correction and evolution, and our knowledge is only for us to grow and learn to think. ”
"The sky is so good, I can always give awesome guidance and answers, and I only ask questions." Nana fumbled through the pages of a tome and muttered, "With so much to learn, I sometimes can't help but wonder what we are if the world is a fleeting quantum of space and matter, a huge puzzle of space and elementary particles?" Are we just made up of quanta and particles? If this is the case, where does our sense of individual existence and self-awareness come from? What are our values, our dreams, our emotions, and the knowledge we have? What are we in this boundless cosmic space? ……”
Caught in this series of philosophical and scientific questions, Clear Sky turned his face upwards and stared into deep thought at the pure white ceiling...... Immediately, with the floating out of her thoughts, her entire body also fell into this whiteness......
Suddenly opened his eyes, the ceiling was a structure made of yellow bricks and wooden beams, and he was lying on the blue floral linen sheets, the blue blanket covering his body was covered with patches but it was also warm, the pillow was a little stiff, but he began to get used to it after sleeping too much, Qingtian exhaled softly, and it was a little regrettable that it was easy to encounter a dream about Nana, and he woke up so quickly.
Outside the window, the sky was getting brighter, and a new day had begun, and the clear sky turned over and sat up, walked to the window, and stretched deeply.
It was a morning in what looked like a classical European town, the sun had just shown a glimmer of light light from afar, outlining the pale yellow outlines of the brick houses near and far, and a few house cats of various colors were napping beside an elm tree in the hotel, completely ignoring the occasional rooster and dog barking at the door of the grocery store.
The innkeeper was a chubby middle-aged uncle, who was standing at the door early in the morning and posing for "morning exercises", feeling the sight of the clear sky, he turned sideways, raised his head, and waved at her.
Clear Sky smiled politely, waved in response, and turned back to the room. Before stepping out of the room, she habitually glanced at the calendar and the glass-made hourglass time box, marked as [August 1, 5769, the first year of Keane's first year], just after the beginning of the month.
Walking down the gray painted steps to the first floor, Qingkong sat down closest to the counter and the window opening, and greeted the boss who had just walked in: "Boss, the same old way, mushroom soup with vegetarian fruit, and two pineapple bread." ”
"Okay, okay, this is coming! You girl eats so much, no wonder I don't see you grow meat. The boss's round face is smiling all year round, and he is full of energy when he mutters.
"It's not easy to make money, so you still have to save some money." Clear Sky smiled embarrassedly with bent eyebrows, and took out the money bag from the backpack and counted the contents, 16 silver 750 copper plates, [It should be enough to buy a fast horse, right?] She thought uncertainly—
Since she woke up from under the Wishing Tree behind the church in Prayer Town, she'd been in the world of the Brave for 20 days.
In these 20 days, Clear Sky has been learning the rules of this world non-stop, constantly doing tasks, leveling, and learning various skills.
Let's talk about combat skills first, as a mage, she learned a variety of physical skills at level 1, including straight stabs, retreats, and downward sweeps; Level 5 begins to learn spells, level 1 fireball and level 1 magic explosion; Level 10 learned level 2 fireball and level 1 teleportation; Level 15 learned Level 2 Magic Explosion and Level 1 Fire Impact, and Level 20 learned Level 1 Protector Wheel and Level 1 Suppression Magic; Progressing through the layers until she learned all the skills that could be taught by the trainers of the Alchemy Hut in Prayer Town, and in addition, the two survival skills of first aid and cooking except fishing all reached level 10, except for fishing, which was not achieved only because she was in a hurry. In addition, she learned two professional skills, tailoring and gem making, the first of which was used by the mage profession and the second of which was entirely of interest.
In order to grow faster, Clear Sky only maintains the most basic 4 hours of sleep and a full meal every day, calculating the cost performance of each piece of equipment.
The equipment she wore was basically given away when she was doing a mission, and the red silk robe was accompanied by the same red silk cloak, elm bracers and wooden rings, and a belt made of elm leather, and the other shoes and handguards were all made of rough linen, only the ruby staff cost her 10 silver to buy, and she almost stomped her foot in distress.
Anyway, 20 days later, the sky is already level 22, and her original intention remains the same to become stronger and richer, so that she can step out of the confines of Prayer Town as soon as possible and run to Apocalypse City - since she entered this game, she has been thinking about going to Rainbow Moon Castle all the time, finding the truth of the memory fragment at that time, exploring the cause of Nana's death, and finding out the secret recipe to wake her up-
[Rainbow Moon Castle!] ]――
She meditated every day, until the pastor of the church in the center of the town told her that the only way to get to the Rainbow Moon Valley was from Apocalypse City—the treacherous Green Dragon Mountains and the Eastern Strait enclosed the bottom of the Rainbow Valley into a safe zone surrounded by natural dangers, and the only way to the mountains was once the only way to the mountains except for the unpredictable sea route with stormy gusts, but the hidden and disappearance of Dragon Slaying City became a legend. Only Apocalypse City, the place where the most talented people on the Keane continent gathered, can find the answer to the bottom of Rainbow Valley and to Rainbow Moon Castle.
"Buy a fast horse, the road to Apocalypse City is really long and steep." ――
Every time Clear Sky mentioned the plan to the innkeeper to go to Apocalypse City, the boss always reminded him repeatedly: "You are already level 22, and level 20 has the conditions to learn riding, and for a natural adventurer like you who is arguing all day long to get out of town, it is convenient to have a fast horse to go anywhere." What's more......" As soon as he talked about the chaos outside the town, the boss couldn't help but sink his face and swallow his saliva, "Out of Prayer Town, out of the patrol range of the militia, lawless robbers and bandits are everywhere." Also, lately, there have been rumors that the legendary ancient creatures are coming back to life...... It's those dragons, ghosts, in short, it's terrifying! …… There's a fast horse that can run a little faster and have more life when it escapes, don't you say? ”
Of course, in addition to the innkeeper, Clear Sky has also heard the church pastor say this more than once, so it is natural that "buying a fast horse" has become her goal in the near future to save money.
It was easy to find out that the place to buy horses was the little Norton family ten miles outside the town, the map was marked, the distance was not too far and not too close, but there was never a related task around the lonely house, so that the clear sky that had been busy doing tasks, upgrading and making money had never been there, so if she didn't even know the innkeeper about the price of horses, then she had no idea at all.
[16 silver 750 copper plates...... That's all there is to it, hopefully enough to buy a horse and make sure everything goes well. Swallowing the last bite of pineapple bread, the clear sky is ready to go. Her plan was to go to Little Norton's house to buy a horse at the first stop, and then ride straight to Apocalypse City on her new favorite.
"I'm leaving!" Qingtian walked towards the door of the hotel with a little excitement, and when she stepped over the door railing, she couldn't help but turn around and wave her hand to the innkeeper, "Goodbye, boss, thank you for taking care!" Hopefully I'll never come back, Pray Town! - Bye-bye! ”
