Chapter 20: Ascending (Chapter 1)
Wang An left the bar with three different products.
According to the agreement, within a week of arriving on the third floor above ground, the bar will deliver the other items he purchased to the designated place.
"A powerful jump stimulant, injectable, that provides a one-minute 'strong jump' ability. With this ability, it is possible to cross obstacles up to thirty-two meters and up to ten meters. ”
"The Shadow Spell Scroll, which takes effect immediately when shredded, provides a three-minute 'Shadow' effect, temporarily entering a 'Shadow Space'. No attacks can be made in this space, and they will not be attacked until the spell effect ends"
"The alchemical handwriting of Descartes, the liquid in the capsule can write a text with no more than five crosses. The handwriting is eternal and cannot be erased, rewritten, or overwritten. ”
This kind of item sounds like it should come from a different place, or even a different city. In other words, this kind of underground world communicates not only inside and outside the city, but also between different cities.
Whether it's a stimulant or a spell scroll, the effects produced are all disposable, and even then, it's still expensive.
If you want to solidify the effect of a spell, or have the ability to jump for a long time, you need at least 100,000 or more.
After the battle with Tian Boguang, Wang An had confidence in his combat effectiveness.
But a little more means of saving your life is not a bad thing.
Back in his room, Duke Lan was still prostrate on the table, and when he saw Wang An, he let out a low scream, jumped off the table, and left here.
It's a very peculiar cat.
Or rather, a cat with a lot of personality.
When Wang An was fifteen years old, he met Duke Lan for the first time on the corner of a street in the back.
At that time, Duke Lan was still very young, so small that he didn't even open his eyes. Its mother, a large cat, is alone in the face of a moat mosaic attack.
Wang An saved the big cat and Duke Lan at the most critical time.
Only Duke Lan remains, and the rest of the kittens have been bitten to death or taken away by mice.
The environment on the ground floor is so harsh that even the biological pyramid can be turned upside down.
A few months later, the big cat came to Wang An's room with Duke Lan in his mouth, left Duke Lan, and then drifted away.
Wang An knew what it was, the big cat had been living for a short time, and in the fight with the mice, the limbs of the big cat had been bitten and broken, and it was likely to be infected.
It knew all this, so it hoped that Wang An would be able to adopt Duke Lan.
But at that time, Wang An himself was also in danger, and after barely supporting himself for a few months, Wang An finally ruthlessly turned Duke Lan away.
At that time, he felt for the second time what is called heart-rending despair and powerlessness.
Duke Lan shouted outside the door, his voice drying out before finally disappearing. Wang An could only listen and lean against the door......
He thought Duke Lan had died later.
But that's not the case.
It took Duke Blue two years to become the overlord of this neighborhood, and the little animals trembled in front of it.
Wang An and Duke Lan met again, and Duke Lan would come over from time to time, never begging for food.
The relationship between the two of them is wonderful, a bit like bosom friends, trusting each other and not indebted to each other.
However, it is by no means intimate, and it can even be said that the relationship is somewhat cold.
Probably Duke Lan never forgot what Wang An did at the beginning.
Need to talk to it before you leave tomorrow.
Wang An thought. Although he hoped to take Duke Lan to the third floor above ground, theoretically he could also take Duke Lan up after completing the quarantine. But in the end, it's up to the cat, not him, to stay or go.
I looked around at my little house again.
He lived here for almost ten years......
Going!
Lie down and fall asleep.
After coming down from the fourth floor of the ground, there is no stability and sweetness that has never been there.
Wake up on time at five o'clock in the morning.
is still practicing that set of mysterious exercises.
With Wang An's current strength, it is not a big problem to stay in the three layers above ground, but his goal is not the third layer above ground, but the fourth layer above ground or even higher.
If you want to go to the fourth floor above ground, you must have at least the strength of the fourth order.
But when Wang An was practicing, he suddenly found a problem.
His internal strength is not enough!
In that world, the opening of the first four meridians is a matter of course, and one or two acupuncture points are opened every day, and after a long time, the entire meridian can be opened. There is no requirement for the amount of internal force.
But from the beginning of the Zuyang Ming Stomach Meridian, it is necessary to open up the acupoints to "impact" one by one.
The breath must be abundant and turbulent, and it must be continuous in order to open these acupuncture points.
Exhaling slowly, Wang An opened his eyes.
Secretly said: "Although my physical fitness has been greatly improved, such a thing as internal strength still needs to be accumulated slowly. After all, it's not the world of Fuwei Dart Bureau, and if you want to achieve it overnight, it's just a dream. ”
"Fortunately, there is no time limit to open up the Zuyang Ming stomach meridian, as long as the internal force is enough, it is not a problem to open up the entire meridian in one go."
"It's a water mill, and you have to keep doing it and build it up slowly."
"So we can't be in a hurry now, and we can't slack off."
"In addition, after reaching the third floor above ground, if there is something that can improve the internal force, you can buy it. It's not a bad thing to have a little less time to cultivate. ”
"I am not the only one in this world who has awakened martial arts ability, and there are definitely not a few awakened people with internal strength. So there must be something that elevates the internal force. ”
"There are no awakened people on the first floor of the ground, so it is impossible to communicate in this regard, and when you reach the third floor on the ground, your horizons are broadened, and it shouldn't be a problem to find the awakened ones who also awaken martial arts abilities."
"It's just that when I get to the third floor above ground, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, I have to inquire about that guy and ask a lawyer to fight a lawsuit. In addition, I have to buy things to improve my internal strength, etc., etc., everything costs money. In the final analysis, it is difficult to move an inch without money, and you have to find a way to make money. ”
Thinking of making money, Wang An couldn't help but think of the water in the water bladder, and then thought of his spatial ability.
I don't know how to activate this ability that really belongs to Wang An's awakening, if I have the opportunity to go to other worlds again, I can make some more money back.
was thinking wildly, and the bracelet suddenly chirped.
Wang Anxin moved and bowed his head.
"Citizen 9A3022, after testing, you have awakened the ability. The ability level is undetermined, and the ability effect is undetermined. You have four hours to go to the third floor above ground and be audited. ”
Sure enough, it came! Earlier than Wang An imagined.
He thought that it would take at least twenty-four hours from the bracelet sensing his awakening to sending out the notification. After all, many newly awakened abilities are not stable, and may even be "pseudo-awakening". Theoretically, it is necessary to allow long enough time for the ability to "settle" before talking about the review.
But Wang An has only been awakened for more than ten hours since yesterday, and he actually received a notice.
Duke Lan knocked open the small door and walked closer, wandered around the room, and looked at Wang An, who was still sitting at the head of the bed in shorts. In the past, Wang An should have finished washing up at this time, dressed up, and waited to go out to find something to do.
Wang An jumped down and asked, "Duke Lan, are you interested in going to the third floor with me?" ”
"But you may have to go through a quarantine, and it won't hurt you," he said. ”
Duke Lan stared at Wang An vigilantly and shouted.
Wang An couldn't guess Duke Lan's decision, he could only say: "I'll go to the third floor above ground to be audited later, and after the review is completed according to the procedure, I will stay on the third floor above ground and never come back, what should you do?" ”
Duke Lan jumped onto the table, sniffed the empty bowl, and ignored Wang An.
Wang An could only shake his head in the end, return to the shower room, and finish his final bath on the ground floor in the smelly water.
Forty minutes later, Wang An left his small room with a small suitcase.
You don't need to bring anything.
As long as the review is passed, he can get all the necessities he needs from the official. This is what the bartender said last night, clothes, shoes, bedding, etc., can be thrown away, and there are brand new ones waiting for Wang An on the third floor of the ground.
Without Duke Lan to follow, Wang An was a little disappointed.
Before leaving the room, Wang An was about to talk to Duke Lan again, but Duke Lan had already left here on his own and didn't know where he went.
The outside world was still dark and lifeless. There was no light on the ceiling, and dripping water appeared in all corners of the street, mixing with the mud. Maybe it's a cloudy day, maybe it's the big ones who want to enjoy the sun alone.
In the shadows at the corner of the street, there was still a group of people squatting or standing. Maybe it's the same people last night, maybe someone has left and someone has come in. They gathered there, so bored that they had nothing to say. But what can they do but gather there?
If Wang An didn't have the ability to awaken, after a while, maybe he would also quietly enter this group of people, and then sit bored on the trash can or anywhere, listening to the mixed sound of wind and water, and then quietly collapse until he died.
It would be convenient, remove the lid of the trash can and the body will go into the trash can on its own. Most of the garbage trucks will arrive in time, they will be able to receive the information from the bracelet and disappear into the darkness with the trash can.
Then there will be a new group of people, bored and bored, looking at the sky in despair.
Wang An didn't wave to those people this time, he walked to the end of the street and watched the elevator open.
The huge elevator doors slowly retreated to both sides like giants' hands creaking and creaking, and the inside was empty and brightly lit.
Wang An took a deep breath and walked in.
The elevator doors closed like giants clenching their fists, leaving no light to leak out.
Wang An stood in the elevator, waiting for the bracelet to complete the handover, and there was a low hum under his feet. After a few seconds, a violent vibration appeared from under his feet, pushing Wang An to rise.
Ten seconds later, the first floor above ground disappeared from Wang An's eyes.
Then there is the second floor of the ground in a dim yellow and thick mist, where pedestrians hunch their shoulders and flicker.
With a "ding" sound, the third floor above ground arrived.
