Chapter 8: Runic Words
The cold wind was bleak, and on the side of the badminton court, Cha Xiu continued to pet the cat with humiliation in order to get more information.
He got the bad news first.
Because Cha Xiu doesn't have a "character attributes" interface, he can't freely allocate his talent points.
Talent points did not exist before, and the player benefit should have appeared after the update of the Rune Language system, allowing players to activate any initial rune with talent points and master a certain self-protection ability.
After all, the Rune Language system is not for them who travel through time, but for "Earth 2" players who will face the apocalyptic world in 100 years, so it is normal to have preferential treatment - otherwise players will die as soon as they are reincarnated, and there will be no one to play.
Tea Xiu doesn't have a character attribute interface, so naturally he can't assign talent points, but that doesn't mean he loses this benefit.
Tea Xiu placed the positive 20 hedron on Heroda's meat ball and asked:
"If you used the Heavenly Demon Gathering Device before activating the runes, would you be able to have two runes?"
Shiluda looked at it for a moment, shook her head, and pushed the 20-sided body away:
"It's not that cheap, this Dongdong requires the reincarnation to be 100% successful when there is no rune, and it is likely to directly consume the reincarnation's talent points in order to get a random rune."
Although Shiluda said so, Cha Xiu had some regrets.
What if it's really double the benefits?
This was supposed to be an excellent test item, but unfortunately Hiluda had already used his talent points, and he didn't have a character attribute interface himself.
Under the curious gaze of the orange cat, Cha Xiu twisted the 20 hedron of the black body flowing gold, and as soon as his mind moved, it disintegrated and dissolved, turning into a golden light from his fingertips along the arm all the way to the heart of his left chest.
"Heavenly Demon Gathering Device", use!
Trigger the "Gathering Spirits" effect, and you have a chance to get a random rune!
When the "Apocalypse" effect is triggered, the first time a runeless reincarnated person uses it will be successful!
Cha Xiu felt as if something had melted in his mind, and a strange rune surrounded by green light appeared in his dark consciousness, and the warm feeling spread from his spine to his whole body, and the fatigue of the whole day was swept away.
He knew exactly what he was getting
"Gifts."
Cha Xiu pointed at the orange cat and softly spit out the true name of the rune, and suddenly a white ribbon of light appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the orange cat and flickering.
The orange cat, which was lazily lying on its stomach with its little hands, was slightly stunned, and then it became refreshed, and even its fur became more supple, and the whole cat became visibly more beautiful with the naked eye.
She licked her hair in amazement, felt the changes in her body, jumped up and down on Cha Xiu's body, and meowed on Cha Xiu's head: "Hahaha, it's the turquoise rune 'gift'!" You actually got a random turquoise rune, and you laughed to death Heroda!"
Cha Xiu was very surprised:
"Emerald runes? Runes also have colors? ”
In fact, Rune Language has already sorted out all the runes for players.
Runes come in three colors: redblood, turquoise, and dark blue. Red blood represents destruction, turquoise reigns over life, and dark blue symbolizes protection.
Not only the runes, but the real names are also classified according to these three colors.
Heroda was full of pride:
"The 'Ultimate Immortal Sword' and 'Nian Sword' are typical red blood lines, and most of the runes are based on offensive damage. And your 'gift' rune is turquoise, which means that you can only be a wet nurse for tea cultivation, hahaha!"
Although Hyluda was laughing, Cha Xiu didn't have any shame.
"And what are some of the Supreme True Names that contain 'gifts'?"
Shiluda checked: "Well~~~ There are two Supreme True Names that both contain 'Gifts', but all of them are turquoise, hehe, they are 'Heart of Mystery' and 'Hand of Salvation'."
There are a total of 101 runes in the 'Heart of Mystery', which can be fully mastered to gain insight into wisdom, look at the past and future, and comprehend the truth of the universe;
The 'Hand of Savior' has a total of 108 runes, which can be fully mastered to resurrect the dead, live forever, and save the past.
"Mystery, salvation ......" When Cha Xiu heard the effect of these real names, he couldn't help but lose his mind slightly, and his heart yearned, fantasizing about what a magnificent power it was.
Shiluda snorted coldly and slapped him on the head with a meat ball:
"Don't think about it, you're just a little nurse now."
Cha Xiu gathered his thoughts and asked:
"And how can I get the other runes?"
"Farm achievements." Hiluda summed it up succinctly.
After Xiluda's introduction, Tea Xiu thoroughly understood the rune system of "Earth".
It is completely different from the traditional sense of practice, cultivation, and meditation. It doesn't require you to absorb aura to strengthen yourself, but instead requires psionics to interact with the world in order to obtain other runes.
For example, after Hiluda activates the 'Reading Sword', three runes in the "Rune Language" are flashing, which is a prompt from the system that Hiluda can obtain three advanced runes.
One of the advanced runes, 'Sword Marks', requires Hiluda to use 'Reading Sword' to cut 30 identical sword marks, which must be exactly the same regardless of length, depth, and width. After achieving this achievement, Heroda will be able to obtain the 'Sword Marks' rune.
The requirements for the other runes are similar, and they basically require Shiluda to achieve certain achievements with the initial rune 'Reading the Sword' to activate them.
So, what's the point of getting other runes?
One, the runes themselves represent a psionic means.
Second, multiple runes can be combined to form a real name!
There are four levels of real names: Supreme, Legendary, Elite, Common. The Supreme True Name requires at least 80 runes or more to combine, but the weakest normal real name only requires 4 runes to combine.
The same rune is most likely to be a common part of multiple real names, and some ordinary real names are even part of the legendary real names!
Therefore, the development idea of a normal psyker is to use the runes they own as a basis, obtain other advanced runes by farming achievements, and then combine the runes into their real names as much as possible.
And two of the difficulties - how to farm achievements, which runes can form a real name - have been overcome by Tea Xiu and Shiluda.
Perhaps because in Earth 2 a hundred years later, the surviving humans learned all their real names and how to obtain all runes through some means, so this knowledge is almost common sense and is distributed directly to all players for free.
But for the current earthlings, this knowledge is undoubtedly a beacon in the unknown, a light in the darkness, and a key to the power of the future!
"Do you want to leak this knowledge to the earthlings?"
After understanding the spiritual energy system, Cha Xiu asked calmly: "The stronger the overall strength of the human race, the stronger the ability to resist the end of the natural disaster. Unless we can fully grasp the Supreme True Name, who can rule the world with the power of one man, neither of us alone will be able to withstand the endless calamities. ”
Shiluda asked rhetorically, "Do you think that in the end of mankind, mankind will only have external worries and no internal troubles?"
In a word.
Having lived in Pangu for 5,000 years, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Information Age, Chaxiu can naturally understand the ugliness in human nature. Not to mention anything else, now that the revival of aura has just begun, there are countless people who want to use their superpowers to get involved in power, distribute wealth, and become 'human beings'.
The so-called lesson of history means that mankind has never been able to learn from history. The upper class that has acquired superpowers wants to obtain more, and ordinary people who have acquired superpowers want to redistribute social wealth, and social turmoil is inevitable.
Once the tea cultivators announced the rune language system, it would be no less than adding fuel to the chaos in the future and allowing the combat power of all participants to continue to rise, then the chaotic struggle they caused would naturally be even more difficult to clean up.
"And you have to think about how to leak it, you can't make a post on the Internet, right? If someone else discovers the information you have, then you, who have just escaped from the world cage, will probably have to fall into another cage." Hyluda said as she wagged her tail.
The truth of his sin, Cha Xiu naturally understands.
"I've figured out what to do." He suddenly asked, "Hilda, today is Tuesday, do you have a way to achieve any rune during this week?" ”
"Hmm~~ Probably okay, right?" Hiluda thought for a moment, "The runes weren't that difficult at first...... But Sheluda is just a cat! How can you make a cat work hard!"
Cha Xiu nodded:
"I'm about the same, within a week, I can probably achieve a rune achievement."
There are currently a total of 12 advanced runes that can be activated by tea cultivation, and the steps required to achieve them are extremely cumbersome, and you even have to interact with other people, but if you spend a little time, it is not particularly difficult to achieve a rune achievement.
"Heroda." Cha Xiu lifted the orange cat, and the orange cat was stretched into a long one: "Let's go to the group." ”
"Playing a group?" Hiluda also knew about the change in the interface of Cha Xiu's mission, and wondered, "You mean that weekly mission 'Extermination Operation'? Although this task can be projected from a distance, the requirement is that there must be two outputs, one milk and one tan, right? You and I are at most one output and one milk, and there are not enough people, can the task system allow us to project it?"
Cha Xiu shook his head:
"No, the four-person squad is a death requirement, and the professional requirement is also a death requirement. If we don't meet the requirements, the task system won't help us project. ”
Hiluda scoffed:
"And what are you going to do? Do you go to the university group and ask, 'Forming a group to fight the heavenly demons, missing one output and one tan, add 1 deduction'?"
"I don't think I told you yet." Cha Xiu said calmly: "In addition to the task interface, I also have a social interface. ”
"I know, that's why I'll call you to get the message." Hiluda said, "It's good that Heroda saw you on campus walking before, and it's good that you were so unlucky to enter the earth, otherwise, ......."
The thought of being sterilized for herself made Hiluda shudder, and her hair stood on end.
Cha Xiu stroked the cat with disgust on his face, and said:
"After the invasion of the Heavenly Demons, the task interface has added daily, weekly, and monthly tasks, and the social interface has also undergone some changes."
"It has an additional 'team management' function, which includes options for 'team recruitment', 'create team', 'team space' and so on."
"In the recruitment of team members, you can even choose the specific combat power range, psionic runes, good and evil camps, and personality traits of the team members."
Xiluda immediately understood Cha Xiu's plan:
"You're going to recruit members to complete the weekly mission?"
"It's not just that." Cha Xiu smiled slightly, but did not continue to explain, but changed the conversation:
"I've been recruiting players since the afternoon and now I've found the right players. Let's take a look, shall we? ”
"Now? But Heroda is a cat! ……」
"In the team space, the posture and body shape of all team members are automatically blocked, and the default is a blurry black shadow. If you don't like it, you can also adjust it inside. ”
Cha Xiu held the orange cat in his arms, glanced at the bright moon on his head, and said softly: "After entering, keep silent, I will guide." and ......"
After a few moments, a man and a cat sat on the benches, and the badminton court was silent again.
……
……
Xuanjing, the underground of a building in the Temple of Heaven Park in Dongcheng District.
"Verified."
The card reader in front of the door lit up green, and Cai Junyan walked into the basement room, which was a single room with an en-suite bathroom, and everything was available: computer, double bed, desk......
She sat on the bed and touched the sheets, which were as smooth as new, and she could even smell a hint of disinfectant water.
"On the first day of the appearance of the superpower, the concealment institute was quickly prepared, the room for the superpowered was placed, and there were even detailed rules and regulations for the placement of the superpower......"
Cai Junyan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that it is the right thing to do to confess to the country." ”
A whole day of testing superpowers made Cai Junyan a little tired. She opened the shower and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a bathtub, and after putting hot water, she lay down comfortably in it to relax her tense nerves.
Suddenly, a great sense of sleepiness struck her pituitary gland.
……
……
Zhuyue City, Yujing Bay.
You Zhuxiao, who took a shower and changed into pajamas, lay on the bed, holding a Pikachu doll and playing with his mobile phone.
"Why do so many people add me ......?"
"Ask me out for dinner? The last time we saw each other was when I graduated from elementary school. ”
"What, foreign countries have already formed a superpower organization, League of Legends?"
"Hey, I signed a confidentiality agreement, and I can't post on Weibo today......"
A female voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Stop playing with your phone, go to bed early." ”
"I see!"
You Zhu smiled and agreed, and sighed in his heart.
Although it was good to go home on vacation and rest, my mother began to nag less than five hours after I returned......
Did your roommate feed Hiluda well? I knew I should have brought Shiluda home.
Looking at the gradually dimming mobile phone screen, You Zhuxiao yawned and fell into a deep sleep.
……
……
When You Zhuxiao opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark place. She looked around in confusion and found herself sitting at a round table, surrounded by a shadowy mist, and beside her a hazy female figure making the same observations.
They all turned their heads to look at the other two people at the round table.
Compared to them, these two people seemed too calm.
"Where is this?"
"Am I dreaming?"
Cai Junyan and You Zhuxiao asked questions one after another, and then they heard a black shadow woman laughing, and then the black shadow man's calm voice sounded:
"This is the Nether Society."
