Chapter Twenty-Three: The Boarding Girl
At the same time, on the side of Zhencheng, he didn't know about the various big events that were happening in Zhong Zhicheng. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall of the pavilion, fiddling with the one-eyed heraldic token he had obtained from the bandit man before. He saw with his own eyes today that Plum Blossom Seven took out something from the one-eyed heraldic token, and his combat power increased greatly after taking it.
What the hell is that? Zhen Cheng fiddled with it while thinking, and after fiddling for a while, he heard a crisp sound and the token opened. A vial filled with a potion of bright red blood slipped out of it.
High concentration of energy ...... detected Does it absorb it? ……
The moment the flask fell to the ground, a mechanical sound sounded in Makoto's head.
What! How can this thing resonate with the system? Curious, Masei picked up the potion bottle, and the potion inside the bottle was glowing red.
High concentrations of energy are detected, is it absorbed? ……
The mechanical sound sounded again, as if urging Shinsei to quickly absorb the bright red liquid.
"Absorption? How to absorb? For the first time, Makoto questioned the system in his head.
…… Take orally......
The mechanical lifting tone answered Shinkoto's question straightforwardly.
"Oral? Is it so rough?! Maseung looked at the blood-like potion, and remembered the appearance of the bandit leader after drinking the potion, and his heart was full of resistance. But on second thought, from the time he came to this world until now, he had always relied on the system in his brain to survive, and if it weren't for this system, he would have died in the mouth of a bull-headed troll or under the knife of a bandit. Since the system needs it, it's better to fight!!
Masei clamped his nose and closed his eyes, opened the cap of the bottle and poured the potion into his mouth, and a bitter taste penetrated his tongue and spread from his tongue to his throat. After drinking the potion, Masei opened his mouth wide and gasped for breath. He looked like an ignorant young man who had drunk his first sip of spirits.
…… Draining energy...... Some systems try to restart......
Restarting......
The boot system is booting up...... The evolutionary system is kicking in......
Warn! The system needs to consume a lot of its own energy to start, and it is recommended that the host sleep.
"What?" Masamu listened to the mechanical sounds that kept ringing in his head, and a feeling of dizziness hit his brain. I can now be sure that the previous vertigo was caused by the system, and Masei fell to the floor in pain with his head covered, falling into a deep sleep.
In his sleep, Makoto fell into a world that seemed to be endlessly dark, and Makoto looked around in fear, but saw only the endless blackness. Because his eyes could not see clearly, his sense of hearing and smell became sharper. He first heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping, the sound of metal instruments clashing, then the sound of war cries, the sound of scuffles, and then he smelled the pungent smell of blood, the smell of sweat, and the misery and coldness of this strange environment. It's the sound and smell of the battlefield!
Maseung held his breath and covered his ears, trying to isolate himself from this terrible place. However, his actions had no effect, those sounds and smells still attacked him unhindered, stimulated his senses, tormented his nerves, and all these sounds seemed to come from not the outside world but from his heart!
Suddenly, not far away, a beam of light shone on the ground. The moment the light shone on, the muffled sounds and disgusting smells suddenly stopped. In the very center of the beam, there is a strange operating table. Curiosity and phototropism drove Makoto to the strange console, and when he came to the console to take a look, he was stunned when his eyes looked at the console's display.
In the display screen of the console, there is a girl sealed in a water crystal. The girl wore no clothes, only her silky black hair wrapped around her icy body. Masei controls the console, and for some reason, although it is his first time operating, he is extremely familiar with the operating procedures. Soon, Masei found the girl's numerical interface through the console.
Name: Red Machine
Position: General of the Military Command
Ability Permissions: Advanced access to the Military Arms Library
Current Status: Dormant
Boarding status: Lodged, the host is genuine
What! Reading this, Zhencheng was surprised. Who would have thought that there would be a beautiful girl living in his body! Prompted by reason, Masamu gradually regained his composure, and at this moment he knew and understood some of the doubts he had been having.
The place where Makomi is standing now is the central console of the strife system that resides in his body. And the person who brought him to this strange world was a beautiful black-haired girl sleeping in the console. The maiden gave Shinjo the ability to summon and manipulate soldiers. Although Zhencheng still doesn't understand the purpose of the girl, but now he already knows the existence of the girl.
At the very bottom of the entire interface, there is a special progress reading bar. Prominently written inside are several words that Zhencheng can fully understand: "The remaining energy is 35%". Makomi estimated that this energy was related to the crimson potion he had drunk before. Makomi guessed that the crimson potion provided energy for the girl's recovery, and also led him to this wonderful subspace.
If the energy progress bar reaches 100%, the black-haired beautiful girl should wake up, and I guessed. Just as he was about to continue browsing the rest of the interface, a strong feeling of vertigo hit Zhencheng's brain. It's, vertigo! Masamu's weak legs could not support his body, and he collapsed to the ground, suffering from this kind of pain when he was on Earth. But after coming to another world, he never made this mistake again. Vertigo! Damn vertigo! Zhencheng clutched his head in pain, and a strong sense of sleepiness followed. The light source around him began to fade, and Shinsei fell into endless darkness.
"Ahh With a roar, Masei sat up from the ground in horror. There was still a slight tinnitus in his ears, and he looked at the empty potion bottle in his hand, and then at the several warriors standing nearby. He knew that he had left that strange dream.
At least I already have some clues, Makoto wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead and stood up again, he still had something to do. In the exhibition hall, many tourists have come in one after another, and they have all looked at this group of people with the same eyes. Zhencheng also knew in his heart that he couldn't stay here for long. He led his subordinates out of the exhibition hall, intending to explore the City of Bells.
Masei counted the warriors under him, and after a battle with Plum Blossom Seven, there are still 4 sword and shield soldiers, 2 shortbow hunters and 1 doctor left, a total of 7 people. Unarmed, these people are bare-handed, and with the exception of the Physician, who can use healing magic, the rest of the troops are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish between professions. However, in the same situation with bare hands, the melee ability of the Shortbow Hunter is still lower than that of the Sword and Shield Soldier.
Seeing that the number of people in the team was getting smaller and smaller, Zhen Cheng suddenly felt powerless, and without his troops, he couldn't do anything with Zhen Cheng alone. Although Masako's body had recovered to his own 17-year-old peak body during the crossing, he was still too small in this otherworld full of beasts and powerful magic. If this continues, let alone go to Lilisa, it will be difficult to save your life. You'll have to find a way to expand your troops or improve your personal strength.
While thinking, Zhencheng took out the emerald green badge that Zhong Zhi had given him, and he weighed it back and forth in his hand, and had a plan in his heart. The girl named Zhong Zhi said that this was the permission badge of the Zhong Zhi family, and with this badge, she could get some permissions in the city, but she forgot to ask what the specific permissions were. Perhaps, the next thing will really depend on this little badge, Zhencheng thought to himself.
Masei and a few of his subordinates were wandering around this huge city with a population of four million, and yesterday he had nothing to do to carefully study the city panorama model display board in the exhibition hall, and he had a more detailed understanding of the city of Zhongzhi. Shinsei first returned to the alley where he had fought with Plum Blossom Seven, and took out a large black cloth bag from the depths of the inconspicuous alley. The black cloth bag was heavy, and there was a metal impact sound from time to time when walking. This is the equipment of the red-eyed people last night, and I really took it off them while no one found out.
After passing a few blocks, Masei found a more hidden grocery store, and he planned to sell the batch of equipment. Civilians are not allowed to arm themselves in the City of Bells, so it is worth selling the equipment rather than throwing it away. Moreover, through buying and selling, Shinjo also understands the monetary mechanism of this world. There are three levels of money in this world, gold, silver, and copper, each with a different value. 10 copper coins are 1 silver coin, and 10 silver coins are 1 gold coin.
The equipment that I really sold just now was identified as being of good quality, and I bought 5 silver coins alive. It can be regarded as the first income that Shinsei came to this world. And through the conversation with the shop owner, Makomi also learned more about the inside of Bell City, and also indirectly learned about the upcoming attack of the Blood Demon. In fact, the equipment that Zhencheng has made is worth 3 silver coins at most, but recently, the city of bells has been urgently preparing for war, and the price of equipment and materials has risen. After that, he chose a dress for himself that matched the popular style of the Middle Ages, and replaced his plain cloth clothes. Next up he's going to go to his next destination, the Bounty Guild.
Shortly after Masei walked out of the grocery store, a petite female figure flashed past the grocery store's door. The girl had been eyeing Makoto since two blocks ago and had been following him until now. Seeing that Majo had stopped not far away, the girl nimbly dodged to the side of the building, and while observing Mako's movements, she took off the hood on her head, revealing a bewitching red hair.
