Chapter 395: Mana Meter
Li Pan wiped the corners of his mouth and eased.
Leng Buding was fiercely educated by his aunt and instilled so much that he couldn't bear it and foamed at the mouth......
I sorted out my thoughts for a while, and temporarily recovered from the large pile of settings thrown on my face.
Let's ignore whether Aunt Huang Quan's words are true or false, how much of it is the reality, and how much of it is her own opinion, but in the end, in this heaven and ten thousand worlds, the cycle of time and space, and countless parallel earths, the central theme of 'Pangu is awesome, and the rest of the garbage' will not change.
As for Li Pan personally, whether to eat or be eaten, whether to stand up and break this heavenly way, or to collect the company's money and be Pangu's dog, there is actually nothing to choose.
Because he didn't have a choice.
Yes, join the company, mix with Pangu, you are all insects, we are the king of heaven, of course it is cool, you can be the protagonist of this Pangu's heavenly reincarnation game, be the king and hegemon, and do whatever you want.
And ask yourself, Li Pan doesn't have much ambition, he just needs to be the general manager, there are dozens of small goals in the account every month, and a group of girlfriends and pets are really enough to roll the sheets happily.
But the problem is that the road has already been taken away by mules.
The last of the end, the last of the end, the heavens and all the worlds, will be ended by the mule.
Once you make Pangu's dog, this is the doomed end.
Then you can only be human.
But it's too hard to be a human being.
Fight the company, fight Pangu, beat the mule, fight all the way to the end, even if the remnants of the army form a group, the chance of winning is still slim.
That Li Fan has evolved all the way to the end of time, exhausted the avenue of time and space, but there is still no way to take the mule, you can imagine how difficult this road is.
SERIOUSLY, LI PAN DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR A WHILE, SO HE EMPTIED HIS MIND AND DROVE THE SUPREME ON THE RING HIGHWAY FOR A WHILE.
The maglev supercar walked along the Yeshi Dam, watched the waves of the Pacific Ocean, the water droplets slapping the window like steel needles, crossed the sea of solar cells, looked at the reflection of the Tower of Night on the sea of molten chloride crystals, passed through the rows of pigeon hole tube buildings, smashed through the neon virtual AR billboards, looked at the car lights, street lights, starship tracks, and countless glow colors projected by the light pollution metropolis, like light and shadow flying in front of you, like the marquee of life flying in front of you.
In the end, he drove off the highway, cruising aimlessly, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had subconsciously returned to the original starting point, the public rental apartment building belonging to 'Li Pan'.
Home, sweet home, warm nest.
Maybe no matter how humans evolved, how they mutated, how extraordinary. None of them can erase the longing for a warm and safe harbor written in the genes, and the longing for the soul to return to the place where life can be born where it can sleep peacefully.
Perhaps the 'cosmic people' of Earth 1 have made so many reincarnations, so many time and space, but they have never been able to step towards the sea of stars, leaving this planet of the solar system behind, and they are reluctant to give birth to the womb that gave birth to human beings, and they also want to return to their true home.
But mules are different.
As Huang Quan said, it has really crossed the new lower limit and moved towards the next stage.
Abandon everything, devour everything, relatives of the same kind, warm nests and the mother planet that gave birth to themselves, all extinct.
It's like the first ape that climbed down from a tree and grew into a human.
The mule also abandoned the earth and walked towards the void and darkness of the deep space, towards the endless unknown.
Never look back.
Mules, I'm afraid they're really not human anymore......
Li Pan was silent for a moment, turned over and got out of the car, walked to the apartment downstairs and looked up, his apartment was not lit, and he didn't know who was in this time and space.
Then turning his head to look, Li Pan was surprised to find that the wonton stall was still open. There was a big-eyed student girl squatting behind a stall, leaning her face in front of an old desktop terminal LED display produced by a garbage dump and swiping exam questions.
“…… Ah Zhen, let's have a bowl of ravioli. ”
Hmm, Ah Zhen wonton shop......
The student girl looked up, "Eh, okay." What's stuffing? ”
"Pork green onions."
The student's sister Mali had to scoop a big bowl for him and went back to brush up on the questions.
"You use it slowly."
Li Pan chewed the green onion-flavored wontons made from the underground synthetic meat and inferior seasoning powder, feeling his body temperature and reason, and gradually revived with the taste of meat in his mouth and the hot soup, just like the soul floating in the cold night rain, being wrapped in the steaming aroma of the hot soup, slowly stuffed back into his body.
This is the smell, mixed with industrial detergents, flavorings, preservatives and low-quality industrial salt, this is the taste of home.
yes, why do you want to do so much?
Pangu's calculations, the conspiracy of the legions, the strife of the world, and the birth of the mule, what does it have to do with him Li Pan?
He Li Pan is a grass farmer born in a tube building, he can't understand those grand narratives, as long as he has a bowl of hot wontons to eat every day, he is full, he has enough energy to sleep, and he has the motivation to continue to live every day.
Go with the flow, do what you can, and live.
After eating all the wontons in one bite, Li Pan also sorted out his thoughts, recovered his state, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Made, bluff her......
Don't look at Aunt Huangquan Balaba, you have to say a bunch of things that you don't have, but the key information about the dried squid, what the hell is this thing for! The most important thing is that I haven't revealed it at all!
Li Pan was also speechless, and he was vigilant.
TheM is not going the funny route, and people won't parachute a salted fish for some reason.
That company, from people to things, is full of thriller and curiosity settings, Belemnite, sword fossil stone, since it is specially placed in the universe for safekeeping, specially airdropped to support the armament monster, and as soon as it landed, it attracted a large group of legions to snatch it, and I think I know that it must not be an ordinary guy.
I don't know, it's a 'pen/strong banishment' relic, and it's not necessarily a 'squid's holy sword'......
Now that Huang Quan has brought the dried squid back to the headquarters, it is not wise to break into the company to steal the dried fish, although when Li Pan was on duty, the company's headquarters was raided by the enemy at every turn, it was the same as a public toilet, you can come if you want, you can leave if you want, but in fact, there are still a lot of seals, enchantments, special defense equipment or something in the company. All kinds of lights on, off, open and closed, a set of security systems.
And according to Li Pan's estimate, once the door is hit, it will be a bit crossed, threatening the 'guardian of the door' and the 'microphone', and the estimated deviation value will explode.
I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only the main force of the 0791 company that is now contained in Yingzhou, but also reinforcements from other companies will come on a business trip......
But the dried squid had to be guarded against......
After thinking about it, Li Pan felt that he should join forces with the legion. Well, or to push the legion behind the back, use them as cannon fodder to lie on the mines, test the company, and try the power of the dried squid, so as not to fight the boss battle and suddenly be slapped by the salted fish in the face, and be caught off guard and overturned.
But first, you have to find the Legion's magician, and it seems that you have to use the magic of point positioning or divination.
In fact, this week, Li Pan has been avoiding the use of magic as much as possible.
After all, since the last reincarnation, he saw Pangu make a move and easily wipe out the Elven Empire, he understood.
Everything is in Pangu's hands.
After all, the essence of magic is to call the magic spirits, that is, the NANOBOTS and nanobots in the air, based on the magic net application permissions given by Pangu or other prototypes, and recompile and write the code to achieve light and shadow effects that transcend the laws of physics.
Well, this is actually the application of the film and game industry, not so much magic as magic, a trick based on scientific principles and nanotechnology.
In other words, in fact, any magic is performed under Pangu's nose. Therefore, no matter how hard the magician tries, he will never be able to defeat the god who created the magic itself.
Therefore, although Li Pan has mastered a large number of high-level magic, he is also cautious to only use ninjutsu and never use the power beyond the human setting. I'm afraid that this ubiquitous GM will find out that he is cheating.
But now that the legions have appeared, it's not a big problem to open and hang, and if you grab the legion's magic meter, the pot can be thrown on the head of the legion, and this thing is originally a collector of mana, even if you don't have Pangu's permission, you can probably use 'Sicarius' to cut off your head now.
So Li Pan drank the wonton soup, took out the magic meter to study it, and found that the structure of this thing was quite simple.
This thing is not only like a pocket watch, but also similar in construction, probably originally improved from a mechanical watch.
The working principle of a mechanical watch is well understood, in short, it is to wind the movement manually or by rotating weight, which provides power storage for the watch, and converts it into the elastic potential energy of the clockwork and then slowly releases it.
And in this magic meter, there are many designs similar to watch movements, such as springs, crate wheels, escapements, pendulum shafts, and even jewel bearings. And the main difference between the two is probably also in the gemstones.
For ordinary mechanical watches, in order to reduce the frictional loss of the movement during movement. The various parts inside the movement require countless rotations and oscillations, and the friction caused by this will shorten the life of the movement. Therefore, in order to prolong the service life of the movement, it is necessary to equip the inside of the movement with high-hardness artificial gemstones to replace the bearings connecting the gears to reduce frictional losses and reduce the frictional wear of the movement. At the same time, the gemstones are able to withstand very high pressures, which can prevent the movement parts from being deformed and worn out due to too much pressure.
The gemstone used in the magic meter is an ultra-high concentration of NANOBOTS crystals, in other words, magic crystals, or high-energy magic stones that can be called 'philosopher's stones'. At the same time, the shaft, pallet fork, pendulum lever and pointer gear of the escape wheel have all been replaced with custom materials, and have been inscribed and enchanted with precision.
The clockwork made of steel was also replaced by mythril or some kind of magic metal, and the clockwork was densely engraved with magic patterns, like magic scrolls, curled together metal magic pages.
In this way, when the clockwork is wound, the magic power, or magic spirit, will be stored in the magic gem through the upper pin and a specific circuit. In normal times, the magic meter can also be like a pocket watch, through the elastic potential energy of the clockwork, slowly release, and the rotation of the pointer rubs the magic gem, releasing the stable magic elves, ensuring that the magic is in a high magic environment that can be prepared for casting spells at any time.
At the same time, a special bolt mechanism is also installed on this magic meter, as long as you press the paddle, so that the built-in magic metal plug-in completes the link, forming a stable magic circuit, you can directly activate all the magic stones, and in one breath, the huge magic power, along with the escapement and transmission system, is transmitted to the magic scroll in the clockwork, so as to complete the magic scroll singing in an instant.
The forbidden spell tricks such as 'Avalon's Great Flash' and 'Crookes Thunderstorm' that sweep the whole audience are instantly released, and a super nirvana is launched.
From the small to the big, it can be seen from the gadgets like the magic meter that the magic civilization of these octopus heads has probably reached a considerable height.
It's a pity that in front of Pangu and his loyal dogs, there are really no eggs.
After figuring out the principle, Li Pan also adjusted it, tried it, and then found that it may not be very easy to use......
It's not that it's a problem with the Mana Meter or Legion Technology, it's mainly that there is too much mana energy storage.
There are at least thirty-six diamonds in this magic meter, and the magic bonus of thirty-six philosopher's stones, I'm afraid the yield of the little fireball is the same as a fucking nuclear bomb......
If he comes to cast a spell, even if it is just a magic detection, I am afraid that the movement is too big, and the detection range is too small to make sense, but if it is bigger, the magic envoys of the entire night capital should have a small lightning bolt in front of their foreheads, and they will be electrocuted like a sheep's madness, and the movement will be too big, which does not fit his low-key tactical style.
But it's not a big deal, just change someone.
"Hey Ah Zhen, where are you going to take the test? East? ”
Ah Zhen shook her head,
"The threshold of Dongda is too high, I took the Yeshi Institute of Technology to enroll independently, and if I can get a scholarship, I will go to school, and if I can't get it, I won't study."
Well, it's true, the threshold of that kind of place at the University of Tokyo is indeed a little high, they are all children of scholars, your father's academician and my father's professor, generally you can't get into a few SCI interviews without help from home, and you can't even read the questions without inserting a little bit of Ye Zhifu in your head.
Relatively speaking, Ye's Polytechnic is indeed a little more friendly to civilians. After all, Ye's Group is a newcomer and has a serious lack of human resources, so it has indeed expanded its enrollment in various universities over the years, and has accepted a lot of researchers, engineers, and code farmers. The suburban poor outside the outer ring are more open to full-process student loans, just like Huang Dahe's, as long as you are admitted to the tuition, equipment, and prosthetic schools to match you, you can directly work in Yeshi to repay the loan in the future.
Of course, the competition is very intense, tiring and tired, the last place is eliminated, and there are some deflated children of workers who do you...... But in any case, it is one of the few single-plank bridges for the weak to achieve class jump.
"Oh, then you work hard, I paid for the wonton money."
"Okay, thanks, you're good to go."
"By the way, I said, do you want to make some extra money?"
Ah Zhen's eyes sharpened, and she glanced Li Pan up and down,
"Why, I'm a student, I don't make chickens."
Li Pan was speechless, Ah Zhen, you have changed, when he used Li Fan's face, it was obviously not like this......
“…… It's not about calling chickens, it's about asking you to do you a favor. ”
Spread out the palm of his hand, revealing a pocket watch-like magic meter, Li Pan projected another line of words,
"Hold the pocket watch, read these words, and I'll pay you 100,000."
Ah Zhen hesitated a little, but looked at the sports car that drove to the door to pick up people,
"One hundred thousand...... Is that really just that? ”
Li Pan directly made money,
"When the tax bureau investigated, it said that it was a supper ordered at the construction site."
Ah Zhen hesitated, but the other party had received the payment, and he still reached out and held his pocket watch and read,
"'Eye of Blood', 'Mana Detection', 'Vision Sharing'...... Yes!! ”
The pointer of the magic meter flew up, and Ah Zhen exclaimed in surprise, her eyes instantly rushed blood, and her eyes were red.
And Li Pan also shared his vision through the horizon, glanced at the urban area, checked the magic net and magic curve of the night capital, and quickly checked the area where the deviation value fluctuated too high.
Well, most of the magic envoys are gathered in the Tower of Night, they should all be court magicians of the blood clan, and there are some onmyoji in Edo City, but they are all miscellaneous fish, and the area of the company is dark, but Aunt Huangquan's magic power is not small, and it should be blocked by the magic enchantment. As for the spiritual veins of Chiyoda Prison that are also sealed, there is no problem.
Then the area that remains is obviously abnormal......
Hmph, are you really hiding there, thinking about it this way, there is indeed a spiritual vein hidden over there, and there are plenty of human resources.
"Alright, thank you."
So Li Pan took back the magic meter, patted Ah Zhen's head, and deleted his face.
"Don't be afraid, when the Night's magicians come, I'll let them check it.
You have the talent to become a magical girl, and now that you have awakened your magic powers, you should be able to get a student loan easily.
You don't have to sell ravioli anymore in the future. ”
Looking back at his home again, Li Pan got into the sports car.
"Go to the industrial zone."
