Chapter 003: Fine-tuning
The bottom of the wreck is extremely complex, with many huge cracks, and most of the area is a gerbil paradise, which can be gnawed by the slightest carelessness, and even the bones are gone.
There are more than 100 scars on Linciso's body, more than half of which were left by the fight against gerbils, and he finally found this place of safety four years ago and has lived until today.
It's a great feeling to burrow into a cramped room, pick up an old-fashioned energy block and put it in the card slot, and the top of your head suddenly lights up!
"Light brain, I haven't seen you for three months, are you okay?"
There was a flash in the room, and a light screen popped up out of thin air in the center, and a dull voice sounded: "Charged with energy, the ship's damage is as high as ninety-nine percent, and it cannot be repaired." Warning, which cannot be fixed. ”
Then there was a slight humming sound, which Linciso had become accustomed to.
"Hey, hey, hey, Sensei warned. The last time I closed, I was taking the intermediate course mock exam, and I was about to pull up the document. I don't believe that a thousand years ago people were so good that they could complete all intermediate courses at the age of thirteen. ”
"Memory reading, link to the mock test, please wait."
Living alone, Linciso's greatest pleasure is to acquire knowledge like a sponge absorbing water, and no one in the shipwreck village knows more than he does. Creating timed blasting devices and eavesdropping on the village chief's conversations with Wood all show how extraordinary he is. Of course, no matter how comprehensive the information carried by the light brain is, a thousand years of isolation is enough to produce a generation, so there are many goods that Wood takes out that he doesn't know, and the earth ring is already out of touch with the outside world, which is something that can't be helped.
"Congratulations, your answer is a perfect score, please pick the reward."
"Rewards? Are there any rewards to be gained? Linciso's eyes widened, and he felt very surprised. The energy block is a high-efficiency battery in the interstellar era, and it has been intermittent to learn from the light brain for five years, and it took half a year to find the energy block at the longest time, and when there is no energy, I have to work hard to review, but it is the first time to get a full score.
"The optional rewards are as follows, ...... based on the current status of the ship"
The light brain quickly got into action, first listing countless options, then rejecting them one by one, and waited for most of the day before replying: "I'm sorry, due to the severe damage to the ship's hull, many rewards cannot be cashed." Because the situation is special, the standby plan is enabled and the highest authority is temporarily obtained. If you can provide enough energy, and if you can get to the designated chamber safely, you will have a chance to fine-tune your genes. ”
"Wait, genetic fine-tuning? Please explain. ”
"Genetic fine-tuning, which is an energetic treatment of the protoplasm in the cell, can make your physique stronger with minimal danger. It is a reward for all aristocratic colleges of the First Galaxy, as a Cape Town Academy research spacecraft, according to the Act of Article 360 of the Interstellar Convention, I have the right to fine-tune the genes of outstanding students, please go to the designated cabin as soon as possible to accept the reward. ”
"Wow, I've earned it, and I can improve my physique!"
Lin Xi Suo was overjoyed, quickly took out the energy block he bought from Wood, and asked eagerly: "Light brain, take a look, whether these energies are enough." ”
"Please wait."
A blue light swept by, and the light brain replied in a tone that has not changed for a thousand years: "There is plenty of energy, good luck." ”
Without saying a word, Lin Xisuo hurriedly packed his bags, looked at the map displayed on the light screen, and found that the destination was not too far, and he had been there several times. Thinking that the village chief might send someone to look for trouble, he frowned and asked, "Light brain, I have another question, how long will it take for genetic fine-tuning?" If it's too long, can I keep the reward and cash it out later? ”
After a while, the light brain replied: "Generally speaking, the longer the fine-tuning time is carried out, the more effective it is, but according to the database, the longest student only spent thirty-three minutes, and the average time was sixteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds. ”
"Thanks, I have to leave quickly, and things will change later." Pulling out a few changes of clothes, bringing some gadgets found in the ruins, and the "treasures" exchanged for super-grade mycelium, he hurried to the target cabin after saying goodbye to his bare head.
"Squeak, squeak......"
As the sound got closer, Linciso hurriedly threw out a mass of tubous rhizomes, which were the roots of the mushrooms that grew in the crypt, and despite their bad taste, they were one of the gerbils' favorite foods.
Turn on the miniature searchlight and attach it to your shoulder, and you can adjust the brightness at will, which is a little inconvenient for movement, but it is undoubtedly a powerful weapon in dark environments.
On the way, he threw down two more lumpy rhizomes, circled a few times to reach the target cabin, listened to the movement inside, held a high-beam crossbow in his left hand and a ceramic dagger in his right hand, and walked in cautiously.
There was no trace of gerbil activity around, so he breathed a sigh of relief, inserted the energy block into the card slot, and the light screen instantly popped up above his head, and the light brain voice sounded again: "Successfully connected to the optical channel, please fill the energy of the cabin in order to complete the reward content." ”
Linciso is on guard and refills with energy, and if these energy blocks are used, at least they can reduce the weight of the bag.
After three minutes, most of the energy has been consumed, and the progress meter has finally reached its full value. I saw a corner of the crystal window used for decoration on the left wall, and thousands of tiny probes in it made people's scalps tingle.
"Good guy, there is such a hidden mechanism here, it can't be opened at all without a light brain prompt."
Time was pressing, so I hid my bags and hurriedly walked in. The crystal window behind him slowly closed, only to feel countless bright lights gushing in the darkness, and then felt numb all over the body, and the consciousness precipitated in a trance.
The whole fine-tuning process is very mysterious, as if forgetting time, forgetting fatigue, even the self is almost lost, and gradually entering a mysterious state.
I don't know when I walked out of the crystal window, my mind went blank, and it took five minutes for me to return to normal.
Blinked, and hurriedly asked, "Light brain, please show the time, why do I feel as if I've been asleep for a long time?" ”
"The human senses often create illusions, and in fact it only took you 16 minutes and 37 seconds, which is exactly the average in the database. The benefits of genetic fine-tuning will gradually become apparent within half a month, so it's important to get enough exercise and diet every day. ”
As soon as the words fell, an explosion was faintly heard, and Lin Xisuo's face changed abruptly, it must be someone sent by the village chief who went down to the bottom of the sunken ship.
He didn't have time to ask more questions to the light brain, grabbed his bloated backpack and bag and ran outside, hoping not to encounter a large group of gerbils, once entangled, even if he was not caught by the village chief, the situation would not be much better.
Moving quickly, after running for about a hundred meters, he suddenly stopped, and a pair of small scarlet eyes stood up in front of him.
"Oops, it's a sentinel among gerbils." Before he could think about it, Linciso raised his high-beam crossbow and was an arrow, and before the gerbil could call, he was nailed to the wall with a "duh".
This gerbil has a tail that is more than half a meter long, a pointed shell on its head, and a bright short claw that is very aggressive.
"Dangerous, once the smell of blood leaks out, it can attract dozens or even hundreds of gerbils. The highest record was to deal with 28 gerbils at one time, which was definitely a lifetime experience. Seeing that the equipment is getting stronger and the life is getting better and better, there is no need to take risks. Linciso thought as he threw out three clumps of fluffy mushroom rhizomes, hoping that the gerbil would be able to stop him when he grabbed the food, and after dropping the bait, he looked for the direction and moved quickly, not daring to delay for a moment.
The village chief seemed to be determined to catch Lin Xisuo, so he used strong force, and a violent explosion was heard in the distance.
"Damn, did you even take out the Treasure of the Town and Village Particle Grenade? I had only heard that there was such a weapon in the village, but I had never seen it, and judging from the sound, the breakthrough speed was very fast. However, no matter how fast it is, it is a headless fly, and the louder the movement, the more gerbils will be attracted. Lin Xiso muttered a few words in his heart, stepping on a tilting platform, maybe the genetic fine-tuning really worked, and jumping with a heavy backpack seemed to be much easier than usual.
"Hehe, there are still three hundred meters left, through the platform is the hull crack, into the underground cave in all directions, the sky is high and the sea is wide and you can swim, when the time comes, none of you will want to find me."
Ten minutes later, Linciso was dumbfounded, and he didn't know when a nest of gerbils had been brought in front of him, and he counted the little scarlet eyes, and there were fifty-three pairs of them.
I had the heart to turn back and choose another path, and immediately shook my head, the rats had been enraged, and the bottom of the wreck was very unsafe. After pondering for a while, I felt that with the help of the traction beam, it should not be a problem to swing over, the most important thing is to calculate the angle, and I had to break through once in order to survive.
Linciso took a few deep breaths, picked up the smallest backpack and threw it at the gerbil's nest, which was full of fluffy mushrooms, let them grab it!
The opportunity was fleeting, and he hurriedly turned the searchlight to the brightest brightness, focused on observing the surrounding environment, estimated the general position, and shot a traction beam.
I tried three times in a row, but I failed all of them. The palms of his hands were full of sweat, and he tried his best to stabilize his emotions and shot out another beam.
At this time, the gerbil had already rushed up, saying that it was fake not to be afraid, and said in his heart: "The angle is still not ideal, if you don't go, you will definitely finish the game, fight!" ”
Between the electric light and flint, the traction beam was tightened, and it flew straight to a high place, and the whole body was in a suspended state. Because there are too many items to carry, there is a strong inertia, and its speed is simply uncontrollable.
"Ah, it's dead!" With an inhuman scream, his body fell sharply like a meteor, and after Lin Xisuo landed, he felt that the sky was spinning, and he coughed up blood in a big gulp.
"Well, I'll just say! Recently, I was so lucky that I didn't conform to my usual fate, and sure enough, I started to be unlucky again, and I was very unlucky. ”
After lying down for a long time, the expected gerbil bite did not appear, and he struggled to sit up only to find that he had successfully swung to safety.
Lin Xisuo wiped away his sweat, patted his chest and whispered, "It's okay, our life is hard!" Mom and dad bless the children, and strive to eat and drink spicy food in the future, which will be a disaster for 10,000 years! ”
Take back the scattered items, the plant purchased at a high price has been cut off at the waist, it is really difficult to brother, pluck a medical leaf from the broken branch, send it to the mouth and chew it, and now it is just injured, try how the effect is.
I felt an unbearable spicy melt, and then the coolness spread down my throat, not to mention, it was a little useful.
Patting himself covered in dust and taking his tattered belongings with him, Linsiso took a big stride and walked away into the darkness ahead.
