Chapter 2 Perceiving Mutations, Tentacle Monsters?
Out of the repair shop, the two trotted along the road in town, and soon crossed a small hill and came under a large banyan tree, but there was no human figure in sight.
Xia Yununu mouthed: "If you have to run so fast, what about Xiaoqiren?"
"If you don't come, just wait for a while!" Qiangzi was not embarrassed, he sat directly on the ground, took out a small crossbow from his arms, wiped it carefully, and sighed: "Hey, when can I save enough money to repair this crossbow, if I don't run into a 3-star beast, we won't be afraid of any beasts in this forest!"
Xia Yu's eyes also lit up, the crossbow in Qiangzi's hand was called the Source Shooting Crossbow, and it was also a 2-star mechanism, but the long strip-shaped source box at the bow handle was a little damaged, and it could no longer exert its real power.
He now knew that the driving core of a mechanism was this source box.
The small box that Lao Chen took out from the head of the trap dog was the source box of the trap dog, which could not only be filled with the source crystal as an energy source, but more importantly, the source box also contained the source array structure that drove the trap to move.
As for what the source array mechanism is, the unlucky ghost's memory doesn't have much detailed information, after all, he hasn't opened the level 2 perception yet.
In Xia Yu's view, this source array structure should be equivalent to a mechanical drive system, of course, the composition principle must be different from that of the earth, and it seems to use perception.
"Since this source box is the core, I should hurry up and study it. And this level 2 perception, I have to learn how to break through......"
No way, this world is very weird, and almost everything that is somewhat useful is inseparable from the source energy mechanism.
Even if it is a mining pickaxe, relying only on the cutting edge and material rigidity of the steel material itself, it cannot break through the hard associated ore rock that produces the source crystal. Only the Source Energy Tool, a 2-star Trap Pickaxe filled with Source Crystals, with a Source Crate, can completely dig through the ore.
But Xia Yu can't use it yet, he can only use a 1-star pickaxe when he goes down to mine, and the effect is much worse.
Yes, only when the perception level reaches level 2 can the 2-star source box be activated, which can channel the source crystal energy to the steel shovel and exert great power.
"It's probably a bit like the world of cultivating immortals, eh, formation?" Xia Yu guessed in his heart.
On the side, Qiangzi looked into the distance from time to time: "Speaking of which, can you tell Xiaoqi about the stone, don't let us men fight, she will intervene! I heard that she went to Niu Gang again last night and they were in trouble...... It's not shameful enough, how can I marry her as a wife in the future!"
Uh, really.
According to the memory of the unlucky ghost, this Xia Qi somehow, after she perceived level 2, she had one word for fighting: extreme love!
Xia Yu replied to him with a smile: "Do you think I can move her? Besides, if you want to marry Xiaoqi to pass the door, then you have to beat her first, you can't rely on a crossbow!"
"Of course, it's by real skills!" Hadron pouted.
Haha, don't look at Qiangzi's tricks here, if you really bring it out, you can't beat their sister Xia Qi, who is two years younger than them.
"Brother, is your headache okay?"
Under the banyan tree, Xia Yu and Qiangzi had just chatted a few words, and suddenly a beautiful girl's voice came from a distance.
Xia Yu got up and looked over, it was Xia Qi, the sister in the memory of the unlucky ghost.
She wore a purple tight long skirt and a ponytail on her head, and she looked like a little sister next door. Although the childishness on his face has not disappeared, his pink face shows a heroic spirit.
Xia Yu knew that the unlucky ghost had a good relationship with this sister, so he didn't dare to show his flaws, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I heard that you went to Niu Gang and they for trouble yesterday? Mrs. Huang can't control you!"
"I'm not afraid that they will bully you!" Xia Qi pouted, and directly put his hands on Xia Yu's arm, at this moment it was indeed more like a 15-year-old girl.
"Kiki, you better save some face with us!" Qiangzi heard this, and immediately smiled bitterly, "You said that a few of us men are fighting, what are you a little girl mixed with, I can't suffer a loss in stone!"
"Hmph, I don't know who was knocked to the ground by Niu Gang yesterday and couldn't get up!"
"That's a lot of them! And I'm going to roll over soon! Then I can make a flying leg, a punch, and ......."
As soon as they met, Qiangzi, who was anxious to see Xia Qi, was unwilling to lose face and kept arguing with Xia Qi.
Xia Yu watched the two of them arguing, and felt a little warm in his heart.
On Earth, he was an only child, and later he was also addicted to machinery and only a few like-minded netizens, and this feeling of being a friend of the same age looks very good.
The three of them laughed all the way home, Lao Chen sat behind the wooden counter with his whole body, it seemed that he had completed today's repair work, his eyes were half-squinted, and when he saw Xia Qi's figure, he raised his head slightly and asked, "Xiao Qi, has your studies been going well recently?"
"Uncle!" Xia Qi trotted behind him, pinched his shoulders with a pair of small hands, and said coquettishly: "It's okay, Mrs. Huang still praises me for learning quickly! β
Lao Chen raised his head comfortably, and asked again: "Oh?
"No, I mainly practice by myself! Mrs. Huang also said that the guests who came this time are a little special, maybe I can still play tricks with them! By the way, my perception has broken through 6 meters, and I have improved a lot in Madame's physical skills!" Xia Qi said excitedly.
6 meters?
Hadron was a little dazed when he heard this. This Xiaoqi is also too terrifying, he is two years older than him, only 3.4 meters. Think about Xia Yu again, he hasn't broken through level 2 yet, and his strength can't exceed 1 meter.
Lao Chen also nodded when he heard this: "Yes, there are not many people in the town who have the ability, Mrs. Huang is the number one, you learn more with dim sum." β
Madame Huang is another deputy leader of the mine guard, a single woman in her early thirties, her strength has even reached 3 stars, and she is one of the few monks in the institution who takes the melee route. Half a year ago, Xia Qi was seen by her and thought that her talent was good, so she took her to learn a little from her.
Xia Qi kept moving his hands and replied: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely study hard!"
Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Qiangzi went home first to get something and waited for dinner, Xia Yu nodded to Lao Chen and went to his hut.
Waiting for Xia Yu to enter the house, Xia Qi suddenly whispered: "Uncle, my brother and they fought again yesterday, and my brother seems to have been knocked unconscious, but fortunately there is no big problem." It's too dangerous, why don't you teach your brother physical arts?"
Lao Chen glanced at Xia Yu's door with a complicated expression, was silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly: "Xiao Yu should stop practicing, be an ordinary person in the future, this world is not peaceful." You must also remember that nothing can be done, and the most important thing is to build a good foundation steadily. β
ββββ
Lao Chen can also do physical arts?
This is a bit strange, how can the unlucky ghost not know? I don't know why, when my sister Xia Qi lowered her voice, Xia Yu faintly heard a hint.
As for physical arts, there is this in memory, but it is not a secret method of magic or anything like that, but it is similar to the exercise method in the Earth Army, which can exercise people's physical fitness, skills and reflexes, etc., and it is generally also a foundation for the use of various mechanisms in the future.
Whether it was in front of Xia Qi or Lao Chen, his mind was more nervous.
Fortunately, the unlucky ghost didn't talk much before he died, and he practiced silently for a long time according to his memory for some small action details, trying not to miss flaws. At least they haven't noticed anything yet.
It's just that I'm not yet level 2 perceiving......
As a traverser, Xia Yu didn't dare to imagine what he would do in the future if he couldn't even reach the level of ordinary people in this world.
Even if he goes down to mine the source crystal, he can't use a 2-star mechanism tool that is slightly easier to use without a level 2 perception - he can only use a one-star ore pickaxe, which is several times worse than a 2-star alloy shovel. Besides, this is not the 19th century of ordinary earth, but a world of source energy and a world of organs!
Can you only be the lowest miner when you come through by yourself?
Unwilling, and a little curious, he stuffed himself in the room and began to try to mobilize his perception according to his memory.
Soon, a vague consciousness floated in his mind, gradually converging into a slowly rotating cyclone. This should be the perceptual cyclone, the first state of perceptual in the mind.
He tried to concentrate, and slowly, a tentacle detached from the cyclone and continued to stretch forward.
A little.
A little more.
Soon, the cyclone's tentacles stopped, and it stopped moving a single inch.
Xia Yu knew that this was himself, and it was also the farthest distance that the unlucky ghost's perception could be released before his deathβno more, no less, just 1 meter.
1 meter is the limit of first-level perception, which can be reached by children in their teens.
Beyond 1 meter to 10 meters, it is the range of second-level sensing antennae.
It's still not good, I crossed over by myself, and it really didn't bring some improvement in qualifications.
Until now, he still has a feeling of dreaming about coming to this strange world, and he is still looking forward to what golden finger will help him kill in all directions. But now......
Wrong!
In disappointment, he just subconsciously urged the perceptual cyclone again, dividing the second perceptual tentacle.
It worked!
According to memory, isn't it possible to divide one antennae into level 1 perceptions, and it is possible to add another one until level 2, and not everyone can increase it. He knew that there were even people who had reached a powerful level 3 perception, but they could only divide one tentacle.
Sensing antennae is generally considered to be a special talent, which can help people better detect and study the structure of source energy, speed up understanding, and then better control mechanisms.
Level 3, up to three antennae.
Level 4, is four of a kind.
But this is all theoretical.
In fact, generally speaking, only by choosing a mechanic as a profession and devoting himself to the study of mechanism production, will he pursue the highest tentacles at each level, so as to deepen his understanding of the efficiency of the source energy structure, and design and produce a better source array structure and mechanism.
Others, such as ordinary adults who work and live normally, generally have level 2 perception, but very few can distinguish two antennae.
At the same time, most of the mechanic monks who make a living from combat also have difficulty reaching the perceptual tentacle branch that matches their level.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that it's too hard!
This seems to be mainly based on talent, and there is no special training and motivation.
As for the number of antennae beyond the level of perception, such as 3 antennae at level 2, that is even more unheard of.
It's common sense!
But I obviously have a perception intensity of level 1, why did I divide the second one?
Could it be the soul mutation brought about by the crossing?
He suppressed his excitement and confusion, and tried to separate the third...... Unexpectedly, it also succeeded!
Article 4.
Article 5.
Xia Yu didn't stop for a moment, like a child who got a novelty toy, until the seventh tentacle was about to appear......
Airplanes!
Suddenly, an explosive pain erupted in Xia Yu's mind, and the perceptual cyclone in his mind also disintegrated instantly, and the intense pain made him almost faint.
It seems that I have played a big hair, and after such a toss, my perception is a little hurt!
Fortunately, it was not a permanent injury, and after sitting quietly for more than half an hour, he felt that the perceptual cyclone in his mind had returned to stability again.
He tried it at random, and six sensing tentacles quietly stretched out from the cyclone, extending to a position of 1 meter before completely stopping. Within this 1-meter range, he could feel the information around him even when he closed his eyes, and even the flow of breath was a little larger, but he needed to sense the direction in which the tentacles extended to make it clearer.
The six tentacles are still there, but they are no longer than 1 meter!
In terms of perception intensity, he is still level 1, a level 1 that emits six sensory antennae!
It's appalling.
Xia Yu knew that this was not an unlucky ghost with little knowledge, because growing up in this institutional world, these knowledge about levels were almost the most basic common sense, and some of the basic textbooks written by the masters that my sister had brought back before were also clearly written.
Moreover, Xia Yu vaguely felt that these six tentacles were not the limit, but the perception strength was too weak to collapse in support of the cyclone's stability.
It seems that you want to evolve into a tentacle monster......
