[Option 2]

【Wise Man】

……

Zheng Zhuo glanced at the voting interface. His hand reached for one of the eleven cards.

The card shows an old man wearing a pedantic hat and a monocle in his left eye. He sat in a pile of equipment and books, flipping through thick books.

When Zheng Zhuo's hand touches the surface of the card, the screen changes.

The image of him confirming the situation appeared in front of him.

A thin young man with glasses boarded a steamer, looking at a map and many ancient materials while looking out into the dark sea.

Golden light spilled out of the card, covering the pure white around Zheng Zhuo.

Suddenly, he felt a void under his feet and fell downward.

……

…………

………………

Zheng Zhuo fell down in the pure golden space. He saw the card that had been dropped with him in his hand, and the card with the image of the wise man on it.

The card is faster than Zheng Zhuo's downfall. It flew lightly into the distance. Zheng Zhuo saw where it flew over, the golden space rippled, showing a pattern.

The card breaks through the golden space and flies towards a building that looks like a university. It flew through the corridors, through the windows, through the lively discussions of students and professors, and into the distant sea. It glides like a golden seagull across the seaside harbor, gliding through the neatly lined lines of ferries, freighters and fishing boats, and flying beyond the sea level. It flies and flies. On the way, it passed through a number of small islands. The islands are separated by a very long distance, and I don't know how many thousand nautical miles of the ocean are there.

The first island the card passes through has a steep mountain wall. The card passes under its mountain wall, and not far away, a badly weathered ancestral hall can be faintly seen.

The second island the card passes through is long and narrow, half of which is sandy. The cards go deep into the jungle behind the beach and graze past the wreckage of a crashed propeller plane.

The card finally arrived on the third island. This annular island is formed by a low volcanic crater. The card circled around the island and plunged into the inside of the crater.

The golden cards were quickly submerged in the deep blue waters. It kept falling, and gradually, the dark blue turned into a black that could not be seen with five fingers visible.

It fell for a long time, until the outline of the ruins of the city was faintly visible in the depths.

The cards slowly descend and glide through the ancient, bizarre streets.

Eventually, it landed at the foot of a stunningly tall, copper-green statue.

The fine sand of the seabed gently brushed and buried it.

……

The next second the card disappears into the sand. The scene Zheng Zhuo saw suddenly began to recede at an extremely fast speed.

He was enveloped in strange light and wind, and those views grazed the pure golden space like afterimages.

In a disgusting and uncomfortable sense of acceleration, Zheng Zhuo returned to the university where he started.

Zheng Zhuo followed the perspective through the laboratory, through the teaching building, through the library, and finally, to a hallway outside the office.

He floated in the air, looked down, and saw a man who looked like a professor talking to a young man with glasses, a thin build, and a scholarly temperament.

“…… Huairen, you are the best student in marine archaeology...... I hope you will join this expedition...... This will broaden your horizons and ...... on your resume in the future."

“…… Okay, teacher. I'll tell you the truth, I've been looking forward to leaving the port for a long time. I heard that this time you want to find a clue to a lost civilization......"

Immediately after, everything was gone in front of Zheng Zhuo.

He went upward, and when he left the face of the earth, he saw the mountains and the sea. He flew eastward, his back turning from blue to bright white to black, across continents and oceans, and finally, toward the west coast of Africa.

Once again, gold fills all vision.

When patterns and sounds reappeared in front of him, Zheng Zhuo realized that he was floating above a port.

The blacks hurried through the harbor with baskets and wicker boxes. Among these Africans, several yellow-skinned outsiders stand out.

Zheng Zhuo saw at a glance the professor and the thin young man who had been talking at the university before. They were on the shore on an internal combustion engine ship, talking in low voices.

"Professor, how many more?"

"A few students like you have not yet arrived. Wait, Huairen. The time of the meeting was originally set loosely. “

"I know, teacher. But ......"

The emaciated young man looked up at the cumulonimbus clouds in the distance.

"But it looks like it's going to rain."

"Next comes the rainy season."

The professor said.

"I think you can take this opportunity to get used to the rain at sea in advance."

……

Zheng Zhuo watched all this.

Suddenly, a huge force dragged him and pushed him towards the port.

Zheng Zhuo's body is no longer under his control! In a trance, he heard a female voice.

It was the voice of a young woman in that pure white space.

“…… I've found control of this part. ”

The voice came directly into Zheng Zhuo's head.

"[The power to choose one's abilities when entering the world]...... This part did not disappear with the shutdown of the entrance function. ”

"Send it to you now."

With these words, the green screen covered Zheng Zhuo's entire field of vision.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the green, transparent screen.

In the middle is a very large lettering.

[Ability].

There are three of them. From left to right, they are Identification, Change, and Copy.

Under each skill, there are small characters that are finely arranged to explain the effect of the skill.

At the same time, Zheng Zhuo felt his feet on the ground.

The surrounding gold began to fade. The sky brightens, the colors of the scene become vivid, you feel the heat of the sun, you smell the sea breeze, your skin is touched by sea salt, and your feet begin to take on weight......

"Ahh

In the distance, the professor and a thin young man named Huairen saw Zheng Zhuo. The professor nodded at him, and the thin young man waved at him.

"Over here—"

At the same time, the green screen in front of him, which only Zheng Zhuo could see, also began to flicker.

Underneath Identification, Change, and Copy, a box pops up.

……

【Choose Your Ability】

……

Along with this box, there is also a [Subliminal Vote] on the left.

It's coming along, too.

The inexplicable sense of security made Zheng Zhuo smile.

With the slight movement of his mind, the subconscious vote quickly revealed the words.

……

【Question】
