Chapter 157: Study hard

["On the thirty-seventh day of the journey, the Holy Order has run out of supplies, but we still haven't found any signs of the next torch........"

“....... Aker mutated, right in front of my eyes, and in an instant he twisted into a mass of flesh, and was killed on the spot by the Knight....... Is it because of the food? Is it that there is not enough 'light', or is it simply that they have lost the determination to continue walking......."

“....... Great, we have finally found the Promised Land in the ancient books. We got a clean water source, there were only a few low-level demons outside, it wasn't too difficult to deal with, and the most important thing was that we found the 'torch', ah, what a perfect light, I had a good night's sleep last night, I actually dreamed....... But the thought of going back and walking the painful path again, I ......."

"The head of the knight said, this is our new territory in the future, he is our new lord, although everyone is a little hesitant, but no one objected......... Or, everybody's looking forward to ......."]

Lu Ping'an put down the notebook in his hand, the "Sphinx buff" was very effective, when he successfully copied the pollution knowledge for two and a half hours.

At this time, he was reading at night.

He didn't leave the "factory" and went straight to a local hotel to stay in.

And his desktop was already full of broken second-hand books and second-hand notes, more or less contaminated if you looked at them with spiritual vision.

This is the harvest of his shopping during the day, with the buff of "understanding", he naturally uses it to improve his scholar's professional ability, and those two lv7 are always the super threshold stuck in his advancement.

Since he is aiming to improve his "reading and writing" ability, the books he chooses are naturally more special...... Or rather, cost-effective.

"I really didn't expect that this kind of polluting-intensive but inexpensive book would actually be otherworldly books and travelogues......."

If you think about it, it's a matter of course, "travelogues", "otherworldly geography" or something, it sounds interesting and interesting to read...... At least Lu Ping'an was really fascinated.

But they don't make sense.

The content it contains may be precious knowledge for the other world, or the secret of a certain history of a god, but it is also a very interesting book for the local earthlings....... Although the protagonists in it are basically real people, and few of them live to finish the book.

Maybe you need it on a long trip, but you don't know how many zeros are after the decimal point.

A pile of books polluted by the amount of knowledge is only a few tenths of the price of other "useful books", and most of them are second-hand, transcriptional, and mutilated copies, further reducing their practical value.

After all, mutilated and transcribed means incomplete knowledge and not original, and incomplete or passive "knowledge" is an unexploded mine that may kill the reader at some point.

When he saw that Lu Ping'an, who was "practicing skills", took away a bunch of unsalable goods, the bookstore owner died of joy.

But on the other hand, Lu Ping'an didn't feel that he was losing at all.

“...... It's a silver-level consumable buff, and it's really powerful. ”

The elf didn't lie, but he didn't say it all, this buff is not easy to obtain, and the other side of the power is the high risk.

It is true that the first failure will only lose the arm, but the pain and fear will immediately lead to a second quiz game, the second failure will be the brain, and if there is a third time, it will be your heart....... Directly at the level of the rules to send you back to the West.

This is a seemingly harmless gamble, but since Lu Ping'an won, he naturally gained a lot.

The silver-level buff Lu Ping'an has never been touched, coupled with the short-term expendable and passive two restrictions that increase efficacy, Lu Ping'an's "understanding" in the short term is like a divine help, and he is not tired of reading these books, and even the otherworldly language has risen a lot...... What bothered him the most before was actually the fun of books.

Now watching the "protagonists" die and die, he can't stop a little.

But are these things really meaningless? That's not necessarily, what Lu Ping'an sees from it is a completely different worldview, or rather, a bold idea.

"Perhaps, our current civilized society is not the only choice......

The world of the translation and transcription that Lu Ping'an has now is quite delicate.

Humans, or human-like creatures capable of writing books, live like pets or even bugs........ The wilderness is extremely dangerous, full of all kinds of monsters and even evil gods, walking alone in the wilderness, after a few days, it basically mutates.

A large number of fortress cities have become gathering points for human beings, the "torch" of order has dispelled the darkness around them, and also limited the population limit of the towns, even if the technological innovation has surpassed the earth in some places, feudalism and theocracy are still the mainstream of society, and slavery has even become a kind of salvation in some areas.

"Hehe, the situation in our world has deteriorated again, will it return to such a city-state era?"

Lu Ping'anThis is not unfounded nonsense, in the recent series of reforms, there is a "relocation of sparsely populated small and medium-sized villages and towns to medium-sized and large cities", which is to reduce the cost of maintaining social stability.

I have to admit that these messy manuscripts from different worlds have greatly expanded Lu Ping'an's horizons and made him think about his future.

["The new source is not far away, not far away! ”

"The first batch of seeds was only two hundred, but two survived! Their variants...... It's so strong that it's a 'unicorn', and that's great, when they grow up, we'll be able to grab another source......."

“........ We need to eat more, more mutations, to ensure the superiority of our race, those damned, flying brutes ......"]

The worldview mentioned in this fragment is the opposite of the previous two.

The main races in the previous world are actively avoiding pollution, avoiding uncontrollable mutations, which increase the number of races.

And the "scholar" race in the latter world, they are not the only intelligent and civilized race in their own world, they are just a member of the huge competitive race.

In their world, the "pollution source" has become a resource, allowing the clan to mutate more and have special abilities, which is the advantage of the clan to compete for living space and resources.

Turning into a monster? Who cares, if it's slow, it will become the ration of other races.

As for most of the mutants losing their rationality or even losing their form? It has become the price that the world must pay, and their tolerance for the "strange shapes" of their own race is surprisingly high, and even regarded it as a kind of beauty and fashion.

The sapient races are in a frenzied competition to see who becomes crazier, who can eat more "pollution" and get more "total pollution percentage" in the upper reaches of the food chain...... This number is used to ensure the overall strength of the group, as well as the overall advantage in the competition for survival.

It is worth mentioning that if Lu Ping'an did not miscalculate, considering the speed of mutation between the two sides, the "pollution level" of these two worlds is actually about the same.

Lu Ping'an silently put the book on his face, and the system prompt of "writing" both broke through lv6, so that he could think calmly while taking it a little slowly......

"These two worlds should be the world with a 'high degree of pollution', the earth was 'low pollution' fifty years ago, and now it should be a ....... of 'medium pollution'."

The degree of pollution between the world and the world, if we use a convenient analogy, can be seen as something like the difference between "deep water" and "shallow water".

As a result of the "Great Summoning", a world with a low level of pollution has entered a "moderately polluted zone", which has also led to a series of changes now.

Each world, completely different survival attitudes and systems, makes Lu Ping'an a little fascinated, and he somewhat understands those "traveling dogs" who have nothing to do and run around.

But in these "stories", he is more concerned about the existence of "gods" and "professions".

From beginning to end, he didn't see the Almighty in the biblical story, only a special and powerful being, a super pollutant at a high point, and the power derived from him.

Similar to the human class system, the ability system is more or less in other worlds, and there are many worlds of "occupations", but they are exactly the same, and there is none.

Imitating and marking the path of a high-end creature, and inscribe and replicate the evolutionary path of its growth path, is one of the common ideas of the major worlds to deal with pollution.

Some are fast, some are slow, some are stable, and some bet on dogs...... Lu Ping'an asked the big cat, and there is even a unique profession for humans who have been transformed in the other world.

Moreover, among many systems, the human career system is slow but more stable, unlike some systems that have to gamble once they are upgraded.

He also guessed that these power systems are also directly related to the pollution level of the world.

In the past, human beings could not produce great gods, perhaps simply because the pollution level was not high enough...... Those competing for the "world pollution ratio", there are few powerful races in the whole race that look the same, which gave Lu Ping'an a deep impression.

Thinking, thinking, and calculating, Lu Ping'an continued to read at night.

"Some plans may have to be rearranged, and since order may not be eternal, I may be too conservative......"
