Chapter 36: Three Routes
Lu Ning hadn't figured it out about catching fish yet, but soon, something he had been waiting for for a long time finally came.
The January deadline is quietly approaching.
"The Material Fabrication Station has been upgraded and is in the process of updating the list of support supplies to build.
"The list has been updated.
"Ask the captain to decide on the direction of the tribal phase.
"This will have a great impact on the type and method of manufacturing aid in the future, and it is very likely to affect the captain's living conditions and life forms, so please choose carefully.
"Note: Choosing a route only affects the bias of the crafting items, and the list of items will not be completely severed between the three routes."
"1. [Fables of Gods and Ghosts]: By choosing this route, the Crafting Station will be biased towards producing aid in the direction of primitive religion, witchcraft, and theology, and will drop material rewards whenever the captain receives the corresponding inspiration. Please note: Choosing this route may be influenced by local indigenous religions and otherworldly phenomena.
"2. [Ancestor Worship]: If you choose this route, the Crafting Station will be biased towards producing aid in the direction of ritual code, rule, and clan, and will drop material rewards whenever the captain receives the corresponding inspiration. Please note: Choosing this route may be influenced by local influences and customs.
"3. [Humane Glimmer]: If you choose this route, the manufacturing station will favor aid materials in the direction of production and labor development, culture and craftsmanship, and will drop material rewards whenever the captain receives corresponding inspiration. Please note: Choosing this route may be influenced by the local indigenous culture and craft culture. ”
Three directions of development, three completely different paths.
Lu Ning didn't expect that as soon as the manufacturing station came up, he would give himself such a big problem.
"Ghost, any suggestions?"
Lu Ning asked subconsciously.
“…… Not. The ship does not express any opinion on this, but the ship will support all the choices of the captain. ”
The ghost's emotionless voice rang out.
Lu Ning took a deep breath.
The ghost wasn't going to make a suggestion, and it seemed that the choice had to be left to itself.
The first is the "fable of gods and ghosts".
Lu Ning is actually very excited about this route.
Because he now knows that there are similar transcendent powers in the universe, such as elemental magic, Taoist immortal magic, and so on.
Choosing the path of fables, there is no doubt that the manufacturing station will learn those things in the future.
"Ghosts, is this allegorical route of gods and ghosts a route with supernatural abilities? Can I learn the magic and magic of other interstellar civilizations? Also, what does this mean by being influenced by local religion and supernatural powers? ”
Lu Ning asked.
“…… Magic and immortality, although they really exist in the universe, are different from what the captain knows. The ghost patiently explained to Lu Ning, "It's not a technique that anyone can learn, nor is it a ubiquitous energy in the universe, but a unique skill that is only mastered in a few intelligent civilizations.
"So the essence of this route is a route based on the local transcendence and energy system. If the local area does not have a supernatural energy system, this route can help the captain establish a belief similar to myth and legend.
"If there are local conditions for the establishment of a transcendent energy system, such as a planet with innate magical energy, then it will help the captain master that transcendent skill."
This passage was a bit complicated, but Lu Ning still understood it.
And this made him even more hesitant.
Fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and ascend to the immortal.
Recite a mantra and draw a formation, and rub the fireball with your hands.
These mysterious, interesting, and powerful things are undoubtedly dreams that many people have dreamed about.
Lu Ning is naturally no exception.
But he had a deep concern about it.
That is, there are gods in this world, and there is a transcendent phenomenon such as "virtual energy" that is still incomprehensible.
And there is also the eleventh god in the native population, who is above the other gods, and it is very likely that it is the "god of the war" who brought them into this world, and may even be the "god of war" who destroyed their world.
His intentions and objectives, up to now, Lu Ning can be said to know nothing.
I only know that the other party seems to be a perverted psychopath who takes pleasure in torturing survivors and bringing them all kinds of disasters.
The development of supernatural powers and the establishment of new theological systems in this world will inevitably result in a great variable as stated in the description of the route, and these local gods are a huge variable.
Lu Ning didn't know what trouble such a variable would bring to himself - it wasn't a question of whether he was afraid or not, but it was really not good for him.
Lu Ning felt that these gods, as well as the "warden", were like a sword hanging over his head.
The sword was indestructible to him now, and he didn't know where it was pointing, and he didn't know when it would fall.
Lu Ning had a premonition in his heart - in the future, if he wanted to leave this world, he would inevitably clash with this warden.
And until then, he must endure, survive, and develop until he can wrestle with the gods of this world and the warden.
But the path of "fables of gods and ghosts" does not seem to meet his requirements.
Lu Ning eventually decided to abandon this route.
Void energy, he must study it. There is a ghost, and even if he doesn't take this route, he believes that the ghost can give him a satisfactory result after all.
But until the nature and purpose of the void are truly understood, it is not appropriate to conflict with the gods and the local religion.
He looked at the second option.
"Ancestor Worship".
From the description, it appears to be a route focused on strengthening his clan affiliation and leading him to become the leader of a large family.
This is the route that Lu Ning is least interested in.
The word family is an extremely unfamiliar thing to Lu Ning, who has no family since he was a child.
Especially after being exposed to too many negative information on the Internet such as "brothers, friends, brothers", "father, son, and filial piety", it made him disappear even a little yearning and expectation.
Of course, he himself knows that the negative information that can be exposed and displayed in front of the public is actually a minority in reality.
People who have a real harmonious family and a happy life will not come out to post it, and even if they do, they won't attract much attention and topic.
It's just that he feels that he is already like this......
So keep it that way.
And he doesn't think he's a patriarch or leader or anything like that.
I don't have that temperament to know.
Both routes were denied, and only one of the three roads remained.
"Humane Glimmer".
"Labor development, culture and craftsmanship, this looks very similar to the previous route......
Lu Ning touched his chin.
Although in the previous stage of the "primitive era", the manufacturing station did not let him choose any route.
But the process drawings, raw materials, and teaching materials all seem to fit the definition of the "humane shimmer" route.
"So be it, I just happen to be used to this way of development."
Lu Ning nodded, and informed the ghost of his choice in the soul connection.
The ghost replaces Lu Ning in manipulating the options panel of the crafting station.
"The route has been confirmed. The path you have chosen is 'Humane Glimmer'.
"In the beginning, you faced all the challenges that threatened your existence, maybe small and humble, but you survived well in this strange land. And now, the land is vast, the mountains and rivers are boundless – explore the world with your feet and your wit, it is right in front of you. ”
