Chapter 3: Cross-border start-up, intimate plug-in [Seeking to read]
During the purchase, the two simply filled their stomachs.
Back in the rented community, Chen Xuan added money to the driver, and the two of them moved the things upstairs and put them away.
The rental house, which was not very large, was stuffed to the brim.
Once all the supplies were in place, he began the final preparations.
Unpack and confirm the integrity of the item.
Then use a travel backpack with a waterproof cover to load the supplies that can be consumed for three days to prevent the [storage] function from failing or being inconvenient to use after crossing the border.
A short-handled physics sword of about forty-five centimeters was inserted into the side.
Wearing a helmet with a waterproof headlamp on his head, and fully armed, Chen Xuan stretched out an arm, activated the [Storage] function, and put the remaining materials into the storage compartment.
Standing where he was, he took a deep breath and then looked at the time of the sports watch on his wrist.
"On May 7, 2024, at 13:47 Xia Guo time, the first cross-border preparation!"
Chen Xuan said in a symbolic whisper.
When it came to the end, he actually felt a little nervous, but it was more of an expectation.
It's coming, another world!
The mind calls out the golden finger and chooses [crossover].
【Naroa Continent】
【(Open the space-time gate)】
……
At the moment when the selection was completed, he was suddenly enveloped in a cloud of azure light.
The light cluster was restrained by an invisible force field, and then suddenly contracted, turning into a flickering point of light, completely disappearing.
……
At the same time, Chen Xuan held his breath and saw that he had come to the new world in a flash.
Surrounded by lush forests.
Each tree is extraordinarily tall, with patches of green moss on its rough bark.
The multi-layered canopy shades the sunlight and casts spots of light on the ground in the gaps.
Vines hung down from the sky.
The chirping of birds echoed through the forest.
He backhanded an air thermometer and waited for a temperature reading as he surveyed his surroundings.
The temperature is 17.8°C, breathing is normal, and the gravity is similar to that of the blue star.
After a brief observation, Chen Xuan was relieved.
He didn't rush to explore, but tried to [crossover] back again.
After trying it several times in a row, it is almost certain that the opening of the space-time gate is not affected.
And the location of [Crossover] is the location of the two realms by default.
The [Storage] function is also working normally.
One word, steady!
It was only after he calmed down that he realized that there was some inexplicable information in his mind.
Includes a completely new language and writing system.
It seems to be the lingua franca of the intelligent people of the Naroa continent.
And two active skills?
He pondered, and suddenly remembered the [plug-in] function of Goldfinger.
As soon as my mind moved, a list suddenly appeared.
【Plug-ins】
……
[Common Plug-in: Naroa Lingua Proficiency]
【You will become proficient in the lingua franca of the Naroa Wisdom Race】
……
【Talent Plugin I.: Insight】
[When the mind locks on to the target, you will get an additional message hint]
……
【Talent Plugin II.: Time Stops】
[Briefly stops the time, the duration is 1.75 seconds, and each time the effect of the plug-in is activated, it consumes a certain amount of energy]
……
Looking at the subtitle prompts in his mind, combined with the extra information in his mind, Chen Xuan's face was suddenly revealed.
"It seems that this [plugin] should represent active/passive abilities?"
"What a sweet plug-in!"
He gladly accepted that since [Crossover] and [Storage] were both true, it was normal for multiple [Plug-ins] to be multiple.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan dispersed the subtitles and turned to look at a green tree beside him.
Just staring slightly, silently reciting [Insight], and in the blink of an eye, there was a response.
A line of gold lettering appears in view.
[A 372-year-old Naorachi cypress]
……
"Shhh
"That's the effect of insight?"
"Give additional information tips and notes to the observation target!"
"So if it's used to observe intelligent creatures, wouldn't it be able to spy on some of the privacy?"
Chen Xuan was amazed, stunned to give him the feeling of playing an open-world game with information open.
In order to test the effect of [Time Stop], he grabbed a dead branch on the ground.
Then he raised his hand and threw the dead branch out.
Before it lands, activate [Time Stop].
Like an invisible ripple, the dead branch hovered in mid-air.
The air flow stopped flowing, and the surrounding birdsong fell silent.
The only ones who were not affected were Chen Xuan himself and the objects he came into contact with, including air.
The 1.75 second time-out effect quickly ends.
"Smack!"
With a slight sound, the dead branch landed on the fertile forest soil.
Chen Xuan only felt a sense of exhaustion hit him, as if he had warmed up and ran three kilometers.
There was also a layer of sweat on his forehead.
It's not too outrageous, but it's not easy either.
"[Time Stops] really came at the cost of energy."
"Compared with [Insight], this plug-in ability should not be used lightly."
He thought to himself and put his backpack away.
Anyway, it has been determined that the [storage] function is normal.
Now, he can finally explore the Atlas with peace of mind.
It is imperative to get out of this forest as soon as possible.
According to the previous [cross-border] delivery information, the location is defined as a "viable area", in other words, at least the current location should not be dangerous.
However, if he leaves here, then the follow-up security issues will need to be handled by himself.
Chen Xuan planned to search for the intelligent people of this other world and explore the traces of the new civilization.
If the situation is not right, he can also launch [Crossover] and run away directly.
It's just that it was difficult for him to choose which direction to choose.
Here, the compass can be used.
It shows that there is geocentric magnetism and bipolar magnetism in the other world.
At least the basic east-west-north-south orientation concept can be discerned.
Considering that settlements often depend on water sources, he was going to look for low-lying places, and if he found a river, he might find people.
He has always been cautious about the Otherworld.
Because the human cognition of Blue Star is seriously insufficient, the current cognition alone is not enough to achieve a complete analysis and understanding, and any α matter encountered may be able to change a series of theories.
Therefore, Chen Xuan looks at the other world with the objective idealism that existence is reasonable.
Without further hesitation, he left in a south-easterly direction according to the slight difference in the direction of the terrain.
The forest he is currently in is a standard primeval forest, with the characteristics of a top community, and has not been significantly damaged.
In the blue star, it is worth setting up a special nature reserve.
Chen Xuan was fully armed, with steel Martin boots on his feet, wearing a rainproof jacket and double-layer cargo pants, and even his trouser legs were tied up.
He grabbed the knife in his right hand and chopped through the bushes to clear the way.
In his left hand, he holds a lithium-ion chain saw, which is used as a self-defense weapon to prevent those beasts, poisonous insects, or unknown monsters that may appear.
After advancing for more than twenty minutes, Chen Xuan was already out of breath.
Trekking in the woods was not an easy task, and he had tentatively launched [Time Stop] not long ago, which increased the consumption of energy.
But in the final analysis, it is the reason for the lack of exercise in recent years, and the body hovering on the edge of sub-health.
I persevered to an open field in the middle of the forest, where there was no canopy of trees, and the sun became extremely warm, expelling the dew and moisture of the trek in the forest.
He's going to rest here for a while.
Bathed in the sun, the fatigue on my body seems to be relieved.
But when he put on his sunglasses and looked up at the sky, he was stunned!
