Chapter 2: Vientiane Star Pupil

"Hmm......"

Ji Xinghuo let out a groan from his mouth, and then regained consciousness: "I'm not dead!"

He rolled over and found himself sitting on the floor, surrounded by a familiar bedroom, with a stain of congealed blood where he had just been lying.

Except for a little dizziness, there was no other discomfort on the body.

Ji Xinghuo was afraid for a while.

Before he fell unconscious, he really thought he was going to die. I am young, and I haven't enjoyed a good life, so the vast galaxy and the astral plane, countless magnificent scenery have not yet been appreciated, and the wonderful adventure has not yet begun, so it is a pity to die like this.

"It's good to be alive!"

Ji Xinghuo tried to find the culprit of all this with the happiness of the rest of his life, looked around, and sure enough, he didn't find the gem.

"It's really a xenomorph, and I successfully fused it?" He was surprised and delighted, and although he couldn't figure out why the gem fused when it touched his eye, it was a good result.

"Where's the ability?"

Getting up from the ground, Ji Xinghuo found that he didn't seem to have any supernatural abilities.

He staggered to his feet, clutching his head, feeling his head getting dizzy.

The vision is also flickering.

Everything I saw in my eyes was trembling, as if the screen with an unstable reception signal would go black every few seconds, and my vision would become blurry, and then quickly regain clarity, and so on and so on, making me feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm having a problem with my eyes!"

Ji Xinghuo realized that it was likely that this was his fusion ability.

He stumbled against the wall into the bathroom, stood in front of the sink, and was startled when he saw himself in the mirror.

His face was covered with blood, his eyes, nostrils, and ears were bleeding a lot, and there was some liquid that I don't know what it was, white and red flowers, mixed with blood and then coagulated, covering half of his face, as if his brain had been burst, and it looked scary.

Whoa......

Ji Xinghuo quickly cleaned off the dirt on his face, and he didn't find a wound on his head, nor did he grow anything strange, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, it didn't break." He touched his face.

Although he is not the kind of handsome man who is loved by everyone, he is also quite attractive, with sharp facial features, sunny and resolute temperament, and he is admired by many female classmates in school, so he can be regarded as a little handsome guy. If you don't mix well in the future, you can also consider eating with your face.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the time, and he was unconscious for about half an hour.

At this time, the dizziness in my brain has decreased a lot, and my vision has gradually stopped blurring and flickering, as if everything is returning to normal.

Wrong!

Ji Xinghuo noticed something abnormal, it was not normal at all!

It is true that the visual field no longer flickered and was not blurred, and it seemed that the optic nerve signal had stabilized, but in turn began to intensify.

The world in my eyes is becoming clearer and clearer, and I see more and more details.

There are countless tiny droplets of water floating in the air in the bathroom; The originally spotless ground was actually stained with a thin layer of dust, many of which were debris from their own skin; When you raise your hand, the skin on the back of your hand looks like a dry and cracked earth, with ravines and ravines, and the fluff is delicate, and you can even see the fine dust on the cilia.

The whole world has changed in Ji Xinghuo's eyes.

"Hawkeye?"

Ji Xinghuo immediately thought of "Eagle Eye", and after fusion, he has farsightedness that surpasses the average number of times, as well as very keen dynamic vision, which is comparable to the eyes of an eagle, hence the name.

Hawkeye is a superb, and it's not unusual.

Ji Xinghuo was a little disappointed.

If it's just Hawkeye, you're losing too much. The difference between awesome and overlimit abilities is too big to compare.

"It shouldn't be Hawkeye."

Ji Xinghuo quickly noticed the difference.

The most striking feature of the eagle's eye is the ability to see farsightedly, but at the moment it is seeing closely, and what it sees in front of it is like the effect of a magnifying glass.

"It's ...... See the subtlety? Ji Xinghuo was a little puzzled.

Seeing micro is also a great ability like Eagle Eye, one looks at the distance, the other looks close, but seeing micro is better, in addition to the enhancement of vision, see micro has a very strong auxiliary role in close combat, and the value is higher than Eagle Eye.

How can two diametrically opposed abilities manifest at the same time?

What's more, how can a xenomorph have two abilities?

Ji Xinghuo returned to the bedroom.

The design of the apartment he rented was a common minimalist style, there was no living room, and the door was a spacious bedroom of more than 60 square meters, and the remaining 40 square meters were divided into two parts, which were used as a study and training room, and they were also connected to each other at a glance.

The apartment has few furnishings, with two rows of sofas and a coffee table in the middle, and a simple bar that doubles as a dining table with a kettle and other eating utensils.

There is also a virtual platform login pod in the corner.

Other than that, there was no other decoration, and the whole apartment looked empty and deserted.

A large bed is placed near the balcony, and the wall behind the head of the bed is inlaid with a full dimmable glass.

"Open the picture window."

Ji Xinghuo said softly.

Suddenly, the glass walls became transparent, and the scenery outside came into view. Brilliant neon lights shone into the apartment, and when you look out, it is the light from the skyscrapers, and in the night, the buildings are like high and low peaks, obscuring the night sky.

The hundreds of floors of the high-rise buildings are brightly lit, and advertisements are looped on huge screens outside the building, and colorful lights are intertwined like a dream.

Looking down, you can see that there are multi-storey superconducting roads between the buildings.

Maglev cars drive on it at high speed, and the tail lights are elongated and converged, forming several endless streams of light, surrounding the skyscrapers, like the blood vessels of this super city, crisscrossing and turbulent.

Ji Xinghuo has long been accustomed to this.

He stood in front of the glass window and looked into the distance, and his eyes quickly locked on a building three thousand meters away.

Tonight's night is good, no clouds and fog.

Ji Xinghuo clearly saw the four glowing characters on the roof of the building: Chaosheng Group.

In the past, he could vaguely see at most four big characters there, but he couldn't see the content clearly, but now he can not only see the big characters clearly, but even the smaller row of slogans at the bottom can also be seen clearly: Chaosheng Group will serve you wholeheartedly, help break through the bottleneck, and achieve an extraordinary life!

"Hehe......"

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but smile.

This Chaosheng Group can be described as a famous one, and it is one of the top companies in the country that help Yiren cultivate breakthroughs, and it has been listed for decades, and its market value has already exceeded one trillion.

However, because of the homonym of the name "Chaosheng", Chaosheng Group is in stark contrast to the current situation of the country's population and fertility policy, which is quite ironic, and is often used as a joke.

"It's Hawkeye, it's true, but it's not just Hawkeye."

Ji Xinghuo retracted his gaze and landed on his hand, feeling a subtle touch, as if even his thinking had become a little faster, and he said in his heart: "This is obviously the effect of 'seeing the subtle'. ”

Eagle Eye and See, two abilities in one.

And that's not all!

After Ji Xinghuo felt it for a while, he found that when his eyes focused on a target, it would have a similar effect of mental locking, and he had an intuition in his heart that if he had something in his hand that he could throw out, as long as the target was within a distance, he would definitely be able to hit.

"Sure enough, it's 'accurate'!"

Ji Xinghuo was quite surprised.

The effect of precision is to greatly increase the hit rate of shooting and throwing objects.

After training, you can shoot at fixed targets, even to the point of 100 shots, and you can accurately grasp the size of your own strength, and all body movements related to accuracy will be more accurate.

While precision is only a high-quality ability, under the superb, but Eagle Eye plus subtlety, and another precision, the three visual abilities add up, and they are definitely comparable to the overlimit ability, or even more so.

"Looks like there's more than three abilities......"

Ji Xinghuo closed the viewing window and continued to explore his abilities.

Sure enough, he soon found that he was able to see at night, there was no light source in the room, and a strange image was formed in his field of vision, which could not be described by color, and the brightness was low, but the outline and movement of the object were very clear, almost no difference from normal vision.

"It's supposed to be infrared vision!" Ji Xinghuo was excited, "This is another excellent ability, and it is also a perception type. ”

"What kind of alien kind of gem is it?"

Next, Ji Xinghuo became more and more surprised, and found other effects.

Even if you have your eyes closed, as long as your mind moves, you can still "see" the surrounding scene.

And there is an intuition in my brain, as if I have an invisible eye, always monitoring everything around me, so that I can respond correctly in any situation.

For the former, Ji Xinghuo had never heard of a similar ability, and he couldn't find it in the xenomorph database.

The latter, on the other hand, is somewhat similar to the premium ability Intuitive Reflex, but significantly more powerful than Intuitive Reflex!

Five abilities, all related to eyes.

Ji Xinghuo suddenly had a guess, could it be that it was originally an ability, but the quality was beyond imagination, and it had multiple functions of low-level abilities at the same time?

It's common knowledge that a xenomorph contains only one ability.

He looked into his eyes in the mirror.

The black eyes are the same as before, the iris is in normal shape, there is no abnormality in the slightest, and there is no trace of a gemstone.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo discovered a faint vision.

The pupil of his right eye, that is, the small round hole in the center of the black iris, the passage through which the light enters the eye, suddenly flashes lightly around it, revealing a subtle circle of light!

The edge of this aperture is very narrow, less than half a millimeter, which is not clear to the average person at all, but it is delicate in front of their eyes.

The aperture is very dim but still colorful, and it fits perfectly into your pupils, encircling them.

Several faintly visible cracks emerged deep in the pupils.

Ji Xinghuo is very familiar with the shape of this nebula, and in the past week, he has observed the gemstone countless times, and he knows every detail well.

"It's one with my right eye!"

Ji Xinghuo was about to continue his research, when the pupil aperture suddenly flashed, and an image of the human body appeared in his field of vision in an instant, this image was composed of light-colored dotted lines, and the internal and external structures of the body could be seen clearly, and the facial features looked exactly the same as himself.

"What's that?"

Ji Xinghuo was taken aback, and waved his hand in front of him, the virtual image of the human body was not affected in the slightest, obviously this was not an illusion.

No matter which direction you turn your head, it's always fixed in front of you.

He calmed down, and when he looked closely, he found that there were several peculiar lines of symbols next to the virtual image of the human body, which should be a kind of writing, but he did not recognize it.

As soon as this thought was born, all the words were blurred, and at the same time, I felt dizzy in my head, and when it was clear again, it had become Chinese characters.

【Master of Vientiane Star Pupils: Ji Xinghuo】

[Race: Earth Humans]

[Rank: None]

[Ability: None]

【Spiritual Energies:0】

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but gasp after seeing the content clearly, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. The content of this information interface is very simple, similar to the attribute panel of the game I have played, but its presentation is completely subversive!

"It's gone!"

"I rely on, Lao Tzu hit a big luck this time!"

Ji Xinghuo almost jumped up, but fortunately, he had been much calmer than his peers since he was a child, and his emotions calmed down within a few minutes, and he carefully studied the information interface.

First of all, the most crucial information is in the first line of text: Lord of the Star Pupil of Vientiane.

"It turns out that the gem is called Vientiane Star Pupil!"

Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt in his heart, this name is very suitable for its form, similar to the ability of Eagle Eye Seeing Micro Precision, it should all come from Vientiane Star Pupil.

The so-called "Vientiane" is interpreted in Chinese characters as "all things and scenes in the universe".

When I was converting the text just now, I felt dizzy, and it should be that the Vientiane Star Pupil was calling up the knowledge in his mind and presenting it in a way that the host could understand.

From this, it can be inferred that the Vientiane Star Pupil must be an artificial creation.

It's not xenomorphic at all!

Ji Xinghuo's heart was awe-inspiring, he couldn't imagine what kind of civilization or which race created the Vientiane Star Pupil, it was certain that the other party's technological level must be far beyond the earth, could it be one of the most powerful overlord civilizations in the galaxy?

How did the Vientiane Star Pupil come to Earth?

Will it lead to disaster in the future?

"There shouldn't be any consequences." Ji Xinghuo was not too panicked, if there was really any trouble that befell the earth, it would not be something he could solve, and it was useless to worry.

He put aside his unfounded worries and continued to check the information interface.

Race doesn't need to be said.

The rank should be the level of life evolution.

Many civilizations and countries in the galaxy and the astral plane have different divisions of strength and level naming, but there is also a set of universal standards, that is, the number of life evolutions, one evolution is the first order, the second is the second order, and so on.

I'm not an alien yet, so of course I don't have a rank.

Again, there are no abilities.

The Vientiane Pupil is an artifact, it's a tool, not an ability to master, which means you can fuse another ability!

However, what the last "spiritual source energy" meant, Ji Xinghuo didn't understand after thinking about it for a long time.

There is also a virtual image of the human body in the interface, and its function is not clear.

Before you know it, the sky is dawning.

Ji Xinghuo closed the information interface and lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

This time, he finally stopped having nightmares.

When he woke up at noon, Ji Xinghuo felt full of energy, the fatigue of many days was swept away, and his physical condition was unprecedentedly good, so he got up neatly to wash, ate a quick lunch, changed into clean clothes and went out of the house.

After thinking about it all night, Ji Xinghuo understood one thing, if he wanted to find out the specific use of Vientiane Star Pupil, he first had to become an alien.

It wasn't hard for him.

Ji Xinghuo's apartment is on the 45th floor, and he took the elevator to the parking lot downstairs, and an unmanned maglev car drove over and stopped steadily in front of him. He opened the door and sat in the back, fastened his seatbelt, and the car immediately started silently and drove out of the parking lot.

After exiting the building, the car drove hundreds of meters above the ground, drove into a ramp entrance, climbed rapidly, and soon entered the superconducting highway erected dozens of meters above the ground.

Cars whizzed past the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Buzz Buzz......

The electric engine roared slightly, Ji Xinghuo's back felt a burst of thrust, and the maglev car continued to change lanes to the left while steadily accelerating in the acceleration lane.

Ten seconds later, when the car reached a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the four tires were retracted into the chassis, and the whole car was suspended and switched to the cruising lane at the same time.

Ji Xinghuo looked out the car window.

The buildings on both sides of the superconducting highway retreat rapidly, and even in the daytime, the huge advertising screens and neon lights are still bright and dazzling, and as the cars speed forward, they form a stream of colorful light in the field of vision, which is very dazzling and psychedelic.

In the past, it was difficult for Ji Xinghuo to see the scene on the street at such a high speed.

Now he glances at it at random, and everything he sees is extremely clear in his eyes, as if every frame has been captured by a high-definition camera!

"This feeling ......"

Ji Xinghuo praised from the bottom of his heart: "It's amazing!" ”
