Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 18 Magic
"There really are other systems in the world besides science."
This was the only thought that came to Liao Yu's mind when he drank the potion.
The cool elixir flowed down his throat into his body, and Liao Yu felt that the elixir containing vitality did not enter his stomach, but went all the way down the blood vessels to his heart, hugged it gently, and after a while, it spread everywhere in his chest, slowly changing his body.
Liao Yu retreated and lay down on the sofa, closing his eyes to feel this magical scene.
Twenty minutes later, Liao Yu sat up slowly thoughtfully, and there were already many things in his mind that he didn't have. Those profound and complex magical theories seemed to have been lying in the depths of his memory for many years, and the clear procedures even surpassed Liao Yu's original memory. When he started his meditation technique, he unexpectedly found that he was no less proficient in writing medical procedures.
This discovery made Liao Yu feel a little chilled, and he knew very well what this emotion represented, which was a fear mixed with worry and awe.
He began to wonder if what he had experienced in the previous world was real, or if it was just a virtual memory that Hantang had given him.
The body is only the carrier of the soul, and the thoughts and memories are the proof of a person's existence. Plastic surgery can replace any part of a person's body, but it cannot change a person's soul. But if a person's memory is not his own, then does his soul still belong to him?
Liao Yu suddenly remembered the Deadpool he met in the previous world, and for a while, the sense of time and space enveloped him again.
If one day in the future, my memories become confused, will I make the same choice as Deadpool and choose to keep my last dignity......
Liao Yu rubbed the two magic scrolls, and an indescribable emotion lingered in his heart. In order to improve his strength in a short period of time as soon as possible, he had to choose this method of forcible empowerment. If you choose to exchange books for your own study, the price is only about one-third.
So after exchanging the basic magic ability, Liao Yu chose a one-time scroll to learn on his own for specific magic.
At this time, the two magic scrolls in Liao Yu's hand, one was a thick gray, staring at it seemed that he could see countless aging and dilapidated scenes, and the other was covered with flying and gorgeous fire patterns, like a burning torch. Liao Yu thought about it for a while, but didn't open the gray scroll for the first time, and picked up the red scroll instead. Even with the bonus of the spellbook quest reward, Liao Yu still felt that the fireball technique seemed to be much safer than the curse magic.
According to Hantang's instructions, this improved version of the Fireball Technique was only seventy percent of the power of the original orthodox Fireball Technique, but its price was twice as expensive. All of its premium lies in the fact that its spells are half as short as the orthodox Fireball Technique, which means that Liao Yu can activate this magic in half the time!
Liao Yu stared at the scroll back and forth, and then pulled it open. As the scroll was completely opened, a stream of red light pierced Liao Yu's chest. Liao Yu only felt that his chest was slightly hot, and there was naturally an extra spell in his mind.
After Liao Yu recited the mantra fluently several times, he found that it was much easier than he imagined, and he was not so tongue-twisting. After waiting for a few more minutes, Liao Yu reached out and picked up another scroll after making sure that there were no other adverse reactions.
However, as soon as this scroll was opened, a cold enveloped Liao Yu. Before Liao Yu could react, there were all kinds of negative emotions such as depravity, decay, and chaos in his consciousness, and he could only let out a muffled snort and fainted on the sofa.
The sun has not yet completely set, but the ground world under the complicated passages has already pressed the button to turn on the nightlife. Under the cover of dense 100-story high-rise buildings and crisscrossing aerial passages, the amount of sunlight available to people on the ground is decreasing in the trend that experts expected.
Compared with the staggered and undulating city appearance in the past, the city is now completely composed of hundreds of meters of high-rise buildings to form the skeleton, large bridges and passages like blood vessels and meridians to connect the city, and finally between the high-rise buildings by the government unified planning of the ordinary passages and protective nets into the flesh and blood of the city, together to support a majestic city that is amazing like a miracle.
In a small restaurant in the surface world, a man waited anxiously for his food to be served, looking at his appearance, like a hungry ghost who hadn't eaten in days.
"Why don't you serve the food yet?"
The man who was stomping his legs irritably was naturally Liao Yu, who woke up from the space and rushed to the ground as soon as possible, he really didn't expect that just instilling magic spells would consume so much of his physical strength, and he hadn't eaten since returning from the cold pond. When Liao Yu woke up from his private space, he felt that he could even eat half a cow by himself.
Although the hotel above has its own seafood buffet, Liao Yu always feels that the restaurant full of market flavor on the ground is a more suitable place to release himself.
Although Liao Yu was hungry when he took the elevator down to the ground, he insisted on finding a restaurant with authentic skills before he was willing to sit down and eat. In his opinion, the more tired he is, the more he should find a satisfactory restaurant, otherwise he will be sorry for his previous efforts.
After following the democratic review to several stores, Liao Yu chose this small shop and hurriedly asked the other party to hurry up and serve some signature dishes.
In the process of waiting, Liao Yu always couldn't help but sink his consciousness near his heart from time to time. There, a force that had never been present before was in harmony with his original body.
This power was so weak that Liao Yu had to concentrate on it while meditating to feel its presence. But it is so full of life, when it starts from the vicinity of the heart and travels throughout the body, Liao Yu can feel the pulse of every organ, and they work so closely and tirelessly together, pressing the blood out of the heart and penetrating into every subtle place with energy.
For those elementary magic spells, Liao Yu only had time to scan them in a hurry, and he didn't have time to experiment for the time being.
Returning to reality from Hantang, Liao Yu checked the monitoring he had installed as soon as possible, and found with peace of mind that everything was exactly the same as when he left. From the perspective of time, only two minutes have passed since entering the cold pond, and through the clock in the private space, Liao Yu clearly remembers that he stayed in the cold pond for 48 minutes.
"Yan Yin didn't answer my question, but according to the space-time channel theory, Hantang should be in a relatively stable state relative to the world I am in, so let's think so for the time being. Then the time flow rate ratio between them should also be a fixed value, which means that the time flow rate between the two should be 1:24."
Liao Yu thought about it at the same time, called out the portable brain, and wrote down the words such as the time ratio of 1:24 in the offline encrypted space, I believe that even if someone cracks his computer, it should not be possible to deduce such an incredible conclusion as Hantang behind it from these few lines, so it is not Liao Yu's news of leaking Hantang.
After Liao Yu recorded all this, he called up the surveillance video that had been deliberately arranged in the room before, and looked through the whole process of entering the space.
After Liao Yu was confirmed in the video, the figure of the whole person gradually faded, but there was no weird fog in the room. Judging from the video, in less than twenty seconds before and after, Liao Yu slowly melted into the room like a snowflake in early spring.
"If that's the case, you can't rely on the ability to enter the cold pond at any time to avoid some dangers in reality, and once this way of disappearing is exposed to the public, you will definitely be wiped out as soon as possible." Liao Yu thought regretfully after watching the video.
"It's a pity that Hantang is not allowed to exchange the currency of my world."
Liao Yu leaned against the dining table and sighed secretly, his only regret at the moment was this. With Hantang's ability, it is completely easy to replicate the currency in reality, but unfortunately Hantang has no interest in solving the problem of his own funds for explorers.
If Hantang can really exchange currency, then Liao Yu will definitely grit his teeth and exchange it for a sum of cash, even if he takes a lot of risks. He doesn't expect to live an upper-class life that is drunk and obsessed, he only hopes that when something happens to him one day, his family and Luo Ying can continue to live, and those two friends will not add to the burden for him.
As for how to explain the large amount of cash that appeared out of thin air in 2200, he didn't need to think about it at that time.
"Young man, sigh what."
Just as Liao Yu was stunned, a voice suddenly came from behind Liao Yu.
