Chapter 22: Soul Beads
The pencil is swiped across the drawing paper.
There was a rustling sound.
In the sketch class, everyone was wielding pencils, but Ning Chen was extremely slow to write.
It's a few minutes slower than usual.
At this moment, his mind was not on sketching at all, and after having a rough guess about Father Ning's affairs, he already had an indifferent attitude towards art class.
I didn't become a boyfriend and girlfriend in my previous life, and when we met again, Ning Chen had no idea about that.
Idealism.
Ning Chen stopped writing.
For Lin Guang, even if it is just speculation, there is no evidence, but with Ning Chen's temperament, he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.
He has already confessed and asked people to investigate Lin Guang's family background.
It is estimated that the results will be available within two days.
This was just a trivial matter, and it was not out of Ning Chen's control after all.
At this time, Ning Chen was thinking back to what Heisenge said yesterday.
Boundary Island.
It's like a safety island.
As long as it can be successfully escaped, the soul will reshape its flesh/body on the boundary island, and the innate ability and all quantifiable items on the body at the time of exit will also be transformed into soul beads according to the choice of the traverser when it is released.
And there is no upper limit.
The most amazing thing is that the soul bead can follow the traveler through it.
For the traverser, the greatest benefit at this time is the fundamental power of the traverser, which can also be quantified as a soul bead at this time.
For example, if the foundation is unstable, or the ability is flawed, but because it is a fundamental force, you can't lose it if you want to - as a traverser, these are not problems.
Turn the fundamental power into a soul bead, and then get a sufficiently perfect ability soul bead to replace it, and that's it.
For the traverser, replacing the fundamental force is so simple.
And how do you get a perfect enough soul bead?
This is the main function of the boundary island.
The caretakers of the Boundary Island are all Guardian Stars, and although the Traveler and the Guardian Star are basically opposites in nature, they are unexpectedly harmonious here.
The guardian star is not guarded by the traverser, but by the Star Soul Palace.
For the Prison Star, it was the solid foundation of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Boundary Islands.
For the traverser, it was just a place of trade.
Because of the different levels of ability, the color of the quantized soul beads is different.
The most inferior soul orb is pale green, and the most advanced soul orb is azure blue. The size of all orbs is constant, only the size of a thumb.
And a pale green soul bead can be exchanged for nine hundred snow-white soul beads in the Star Soul Hall on Boundary Island. The top-level azure soul beads were enough to exchange for ninety million snow-white soul beads.
Eleven snow-white soul beads can be exchanged for one jade-white soul bead.
One hundred and ten snow-white soul beads can be exchanged for one clear white soul bead.
And these white soul beads are the currency of purchase.
The soul bead represents talent, skill, and equipment.
Only with a high enough talent and good enough skills and equipment can you survive the crossing again and again.
Although the soul beads can be sold on consignment in the Star Soul Palace, or directly exchanged for white soul beads.
But whether it is to buy a soul bead or exchange it for a soul bead, the Star Soul Hall will take one out of ten.
This is also the main reason why one jade white soul bead is eleven snow white soul beads, but it is actually ten, and the extra one is swallowed by the Star Soul Palace. And what the blue soul beads can exchange for is actually a million soul beads, and one-tenth of the 100,000 soul beads are also swallowed by the Star Soul Palace.
Although it was extremely harsh, because the assessment of the Star Soul Hall was the most objective and fair, the valuation given was the most realistic-so, as long as it involved soul beads above the thick green, the traverser rarely traded privately.
In fact, the reason why Haisenge never forgot the Dragon Tiger Jindan was that this ability had surpassed the scope of the emerald green soul bead and reached the boundary of the blue soul bead. Although it is only the lowest-level sea blue soul bead.
As a result, Ning Chen basically drew an imperfect circle in his mind.
The Overseer is a herdsman. The traverser is the cattle and sheep that are grazing. The output of cattle and sheep is the soul bead. These soul beads flowed into the Star Soul Hall in large quantities in a way that was one out of ten.
And these inflow soul beads should also act on the prison star, although a link is missing here, but it can be roughly inferred.
This is basically an ecological chain.
The reason why Hesenge has a complicated expression when he talks about the prison star is probably because of this.
As far as he knew, the traversers were also divided into levels by those prison stars.
The first traverser is the lost, the least hopeful group of traversers, and most of them end up as sacrifices.
One of the main duties of the Overseer is to erase the lost who are bound to become sacrifices. When the erasure is successful, there is about a 1 in 10 chance that the energy will overflow, thus forming a soul bead that is so light that it can no longer be pale green.
It is not so much that the Guardian Star is to erase the sacrifices, but that the Guardian Star is to recover the Soul Orb.
Those who succeed in getting out of the lost have successfully become those who have slipped through the net.
Here, Heisenger again mentions the limits of the world.
The so-called limit is to stipulate the strongest limit of death.
For example, if you are strong, strong enough to break a mountain range with one punch, but the strongest limit for the world you enter is that it can break a stone at most.
Then if you are a dragon, you have to coil, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie on your stomach. At most, you can only break a stone.
Because the limits of the world are placed there, unless you can break the double limit of rules and laws, touch/go beyond the boundaries. But in that case, most of the world's doors will be closed to you.
And the traverser is born with the talent to cross the line. Even the weakest of the confused will be born with a realm energy of 0.01.
This 0.01 realm energy is not strength, but the potential that can eventually increase after reaching any one world.
In other words, if the maximum boundary-energy of the world for one-person power is 3, then the upper limit of boundary-energy for the lost is 3.01.
As long as they can successfully reach this 3.01 realm energy, the lost will be able to successfully escape from this world.
Even if it's just 0.01 realm energy, it's enough to break through the ceiling of the world.
Speaking of this, Heisenge paused again, and said with a mixed emotion the upper limit of the Guardian Star's innate realm energy.
0.1 - That's ten times as many as a lost person. Although during the observation period, the Supervisor will not easily attack the Lost, but when the Supervisor makes a move, the Lost will often be killed.
And when a lost person becomes a slipper, his realm energy will skyrocket.
Because each person's talent is different, the upper limit of the final increase in realm energy is completely different. The minimum is 0.03, and the maximum is 0.09 - almost as good as the watchdog. However, there are unusually few traversers with this amazing talent, and for hundreds of millions of years, they have not exceeded the number of five fingers.
And with the number of crossings, the realm energy of those who have slipped through the net will gradually increase. Although it only adds a trace each time, it is almost imperceptible. In the end, the upper limit of the boundary energy of those who missed the net was at least 0.05 and at most 0.1. Generally speaking, 0.07 is the average value of most of the people who miss the net.
But the surge in realm energy is not a good thing.
This is tantamount to doubling the difficulty of escaping the world several times.
Many people who have slipped through the net are deeply trapped in this.
More than half of them, the final result, is also the end of being harvested and sacrificed by the prison star.
Then he successfully crossed dozens of times, standing at the top of the world again and again, and the boundaries of the soul finally underwent a qualitative change.
The limit of boundary energy will increase more than threefold.
The minimum will be 0.15 and the maximum will be 0.35.
The traverser at this time is called the escapee.
The escapees already have the ability to fight the prison star, and even very rarely, have the power to destroy the planet. When Heisenge said this, his tone was extremely strange, because at this time, he was thinking of Bagel and Symbiosis Gu.
If it is said that when the traverser is still the lost and the one who has slipped through the net, the monitor is the natural enemy, then after becoming the escapee, the relationship becomes complicated, and sometimes the monitor will directly give the escapee a task.
The escapee is the most comfortable time period for the traverser.
This time period is long. If you calculate the time of the earth, it can be as long as a thousand years.
Probably for the Star Soul Palace, the escapees are also good workers, and if they are not necessary, they will not be erased.
But if the escapee is really so comfortable, when the time of the thousand years comes, what awaits him is a fateful knot with the Star Soul Palace.
All the causes and effects of those who escaped will be washed away by the huge amount of time, and they will be completely knotted with the Star Soul Palace.
When the day of the causal settlement, the escapees will naturally become vassals of the Star Soul Palace.
Then, under the transformation of huge causal power, it will turn into the most special prison star-Death Star Soldier.
Heisenge had never seen the Death Star, and most of the time-travelers who had seen the Death Star had turned to ashes.
Generally speaking, if a traverser can see the Extinction Star, he has already poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, and he has seen the Death Star.
Speaking of the extinction of the stars, Heisenge was afraid, it was really afraid.
Star destruction is completely different from ordinary monitoring stars, it is like a machine, and any means can be used to achieve the purpose of the mission, even if it is to destroy the planet.
That time, if it weren't for Bagel's early discovery, Heisenge and they would have escaped from the world earlier. Maybe they have all turned to ashes now, and what can be left in the end is probably a few soul beads.
It is said that the escapees are further up to the borderline.
And the main enemy that the borderline person faces, in addition to the world itself, is the extinction of the star.
However, Heisenge didn't know anything about the Borderliner.
As for the borderline above, he will not know.
This is not something that Heisenger's rank can understand.
However, he went on to talk about the situation of the prison star.
The Guardian Star can basically be regarded as an intelligent life. They also have their own feelings, **, and pursuits.
But they were born by the will of the Meteorite Metaverse, so their true degree of freedom is not high.
Despite their endless lifespans, most of the Guardians who have lived long enough will throw themselves into the Destiny River, and when all the memory and emotional abilities are washed away by the waters of the Destiny River, a new Guardian is born.
The abilities of the Guardians are varied, some focus on attack, some focus on support, and some are even the creators of black technology.
They're not friendly, but they don't have a strong offensive spirit unless they have to.
If anything, they are more like neutrals, orderers.
Their power levels are also unusually simple, being divided into levels one to nine. But often because of the limitations of the world, it is difficult for them to exert all their strength.
The division of the power of the star watchers is of no significance to the vast majority of traversers.
For these traversers, it is enough for them to know that, in general, the Guardians are stronger than them.
Unless you can reach the height of an escapee, you can enter the Middle Thousand Worlds in rare cases, and you can fight to the death with the fifth-order prison star. Knowing the level of the Monitor will be of great use.
The extinction of the stars is a completely different system from the monitoring of the stars, although it also originates from the will of the meteorite metaverse, but it is obvious that they are more inclined to destroy, more aggressive, calmer, and more crazy.
In terms of level, it is the same as the Prison Star, but in terms of the strength of the world's boundary energy, it is easy to get rid of the Prison Star. That alone is enough to make people feel intimidated.
Heisenge really didn't know much about the extinction, and most of them had heard it from Bagel.
Finally, there is the source body.
This is a very special thing, between the real and the unreal, and it is one of the few that can be brought to any world with the traverser's crossing.
It can also be used to directly exchange a large number of soul beads.
It is said that at least they can be exchanged for more than 1,000 Crystal White Soul Beads. Enough to buy a top-grade green soul orb, the Emerald Green Soul Orb.
This kind of thing can generally be obtained in the middle thousand world, and in the small thousand world, it has a small chance to obtain.
It's not uncommon, but it's expensive.
The price of hanging in the Star Soul Palace, even if it is only the size of a fingernail, is more than 10,000 white soul beads.
No matter how old the traverser is, he will be cautious enough in the face of such a price.
Therefore, the source body, for most ignorant traversers, is a rare prop in exchange for a large number of soul beads.
And the role of the source body will only reveal its true face when it reaches the highest level of the one who has slipped through the net, or when it has stepped into the stage of the escapee.
The source body has only three functions.
Space props. Seal props. An adjunct to the Soul Refining Pill.
Needless to say, the props of the space.
Whether it is in the small world, the middle world, or even the big world, the traverser can get some space props more or less. It's a pity that these space props can only turn into white soul beads in the end, and the original body can't be brought out of the world at all.
However, the space props made from the source system can not only enter and exit at will with the traverser, but even enhance and change with the strength of the traverser. It is an extremely rare growth prop. Also known as the empty source, the disadvantage is that it cannot be put into living organisms.
Seal props, also known as time sources. It can seal all living beings that do not resist, so as to easily bring out the scope of the world. And the sealed lifeform will always be in a state of sleep, and there will be no loss. The disadvantage is that it is time-limited.
And the Soul Refining Pill is a legend.
Because the production cost of hanging in the Star Soul Hall is really ridiculously high.
100 million white soul beads, 10,000 source bodies, and 1,000 source crystals can be made into Yin and Yang Soul Refining Pills.
Not to mention such an outrageous price, just talking about the source crystal, Heisenge has never even seen it.
So this thing is just a legend.
With a "snap", Ning Chen lost control for a while, and the tip of the pencil was crushed by him with too much force, leaving a black patch on the white paper.
Yu Fanle in the back opened his mouth and almost didn't scream.
For such a long time, it was the first time he had seen Ning Chen's painting mistakes. It's like seeing a new continent.
Ning Fuer also stepped on the wrong foot sometimes.
Yu Fanle let out a long "oh~~~" in his heart, thinking like this.
It seems that such a Ning Chen is so popular.
As for Lin Guang beside him, he handed Helian Shu an eraser at this time—he estimated that Helian Shu's eraser was almost used up.
Although Helian Shu's personality is a bit of a female man's tendency, her mind is quite normal after all.
Lin Guang has been flattering carefully and densely for so long, and she will never have the slightest suspicion.
The most important thing is that although the cat restaurant was quite pleasant, the person she met really made her a little unappetizing.
Such a famous second generation of gentlemen, the hungry wolf in the lust/wolf, Wu Vulture Lang.
How could she not have heard of it. It's just that she never expected to be the person she saw that day. It's better to be famous than to meet - the difference is so great that she doesn't even think about it.
It's not that when she was chatting with Yu Fanle, Ning Chen interjected on the side and pointed it out, she was afraid that she was still in the dark now.
Hehe...... Good you Lin Guang!!
She directly rejected the eraser handed over by Lin Guang, and directly took Yu Fanle's eraser on the side and used it.
