When he found himself reborn in an infinite world, Wang Shui did have a brief period of excitement.

But the high-intensity war in the Awakening World, coupled with the encounter in Iron Blade City, left him with only one goal left in life - to live.

The unusual talent started even more embarrassingly, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder for half a year.

He has worked hard to read all kinds of professional books, practiced guns, and read various tutorials on the Dream Internet.

But this world is not a game, and the lack of attributes and knowledge in the early stage, the various values on his data panel will not skyrocket because of his simple learning.

For the first half of the year, resources were tight and he didn't know how to acquire skills.

He had also read a little bit of some of the more expensive books on the transcendent system, but simple alchemy didn't have much combat power, and he couldn't afford to learn anything like magic.

Low-level alchemy is quite expensive, and low-level output can't even sell for much, not to mention that Wang Shui didn't have the confidence to learn alchemy at that time.

The information on the Internet is even more complicated, and there are many places that even contradict itself, and he does not dare to believe it.

For a long time, Wang Shui could only look at basic science and could only make money by repairing low-level equipment.

During that time, really, I couldn't look back, I came to a strange world penniless, just to survive, Wang Shui had already used all his strength.

He had taken the time to see a lot of keys to fantasy worlds, and he had seen many public world quests, and the quest panels were full of unknowns and dangers, and he was very afraid.

Before SAO, he really hadn't seen a familiar fantasy world.

I never thought that the fantasy world would be so long and so exciting.

Seventeen years, he has been in the world of steeling for seventeen years, and the talent of [Arrogant Knower] has brought him exaggerated benefits.

Xinguo, Beijing, Dongcheng District.

[Heavenly Dao Research Institute] Today's meeting is over, the Alchemy Research Institute in Ishuvar uploads the information, and tens of thousands of scientific researchers leave one after another, while Wang Shui continues to sit at the top, sorting out and selecting the most valuable things.

Living Materials: Chimeras of Microorganisms and Ceramic Steel

Research Report on the Conversion of Crustal Energy into Explosive Mechanical Power

Pharmacology: Rapid Classification Mechanism, Research on the Classification of Medicinal Properties of All Things

"Body Study of Dragon Vein Users"

"Alchemy, Outer Dan to Inner Dan, Research on the Systematization of "Qi" Energy

……

Many of the research projects seem to be pragmatic, such as new materials, such as updating and iterating on how energy is used.

And some are much more empty, such as things like Neidanjutsu.

Wang Shui got many books from the new emperor, including things like the Tao Te Ching that he had read, and many of them were not from his memory.

In Wang Shui's impression, most of these descriptions are very mysterious things, which are summarized by the ancients as health preservation experiences, perceptions of heaven and earth, philosophical thoughts, and exploration of human medicine.

A lot of things can't be explained, so it's mysterious.

Before the passage of aqua regia, there were still many things that had not been confirmed and studied by modern science, and were called dross or ignorance by some modern people.

But in fact, the ancients did not always make a fuss about gods and ghosts, and religious things are not the same thing as literature that explores the world.

For the unknown, the ancients are also trying to explore in their own way, maybe the direction is wrong, maybe the knowledge base and tools are destined for them not to go far.

But they are really trying to explore the world, trying to make sense of the unknown.

That's science.

Ancient science, backward in terms of methods and tools, is not all dross, and we cannot stand on the high platform of modern science and laugh at them as the cornerstone.

The situation is even more complicated now.

Alchemy and alchemy, which were originally just early scientific conjectures, have become a basic supernatural phenomenon in this world, and in the same way, other knowledge has undergone strange changes.

To put it simply, he's married.

It's not the system in those immortal cultivation works, Wang Shui doesn't have processes such as practicing qi and building foundations, at least his next stage is not a yuan baby, but a direct immortal, if he can really do it.

His cultivation of immortals has become a water mill in the back, and Wang Shui can't figure out the slightest clue about becoming an immortal.

In fact, the process by which aqua regia can produce [Neidan] is also quite peculiar.

He spent a year cultivating and cultivating, not only practicing to feel the "qi" between heaven and earth, feeling the "dragon veins", but also feeling his own "qi" and feeling the generation and disappearance of "qi".

Then, according to the texts, he reflected the heavens and the earth with his body, and became a small heaven and earth in himself.

Using heaven and earth as a furnace to refine himself, using his own small world as a furnace to smelt [essence, qi, and spirit], and then, inexplicably, there was a mass of things in his body.

It didn't seem to be real, but Aqua regia could always easily perceive it, it was a round white mist with embodied Qi energy inside.

This is [Nedan], Wang Shui can't use "Dan" to describe it, it's not even a ball, but a peculiar circle.

The bodies of Nedan and Wang Shui were superimposed together in a peculiar state.

Neidan exists in any location at the same time, it has no concept of area and volume, as long as the mind of the aqua regia moves, a large amount of "qi" will appear all over the body along the meridians.

And as long as he condenses his spirit, these energies will converge into [Neidan].

Maybe it's because his physical attributes are high enough, and Wang Shui's cultivation and knot speed is very fast.

In the entire new country, only a few people have practiced the inner pill effect, and most of them are still in the stage of using "qi", so in a short period of time, the research on cultivating immortals can no longer be promoted.

And on the character panel of Shui Wang, the description of energy has also changed.

————

[Energy 1: 1st Order Non-Attribute Energy: 1200/1200]

[Energy 2: Unknown Energy: 100%]

————

The system doesn't seem to know the energy of "qi"?

"Hey, is Hill there?"

"What's the matter, the protagonist group is fighting here, didn't you ask me to help you keep an eye on it?"

"There's a small question, I've just gained a new energy, and the system has flagged it as unknown, is this normal?"

Wang Shui didn't understand, so he naturally had to ask the old-timers.

"Unknown?! Is there an unknown alien energy in the text description? ”

"No, just, unknown energy, the displayed values are in percentage form, with no detailed units and classes."

"Hey, that's fine, as long as it's not alien energy, there are many types of energy, and the awakened often get some messy energy in various worlds, it's normal.

You now have naming rights for this new energy, but if there are other people who have it, it will still show unknown, and others will have naming rights for it.

Unless you can publish a detailed study of the energy, detailed, and submit the nature of this energy to the system, then you will have real naming rights. ”

"Isn't there a reward?"

"Yes, but not much, most people prefer to hide and tuck, you must not take the initiative to contact all kinds of energies for the sake of rewards, some energies are very dangerous."

"Alien energy?"

"More than that, but the energy that has something to do with the alien gods is definitely dangerous. Even those alien gods who are more friendly to the ordinary transcendent, their energy radiation will turn you into monsters, and become their faithful followers. ”

"Understand, my energy should be safe."

The aqua regia, who let go of his heart, gave the new energy a name - [True Yuan].

A bad street name, but I have to say it is very apt.

Wang Shui had not long mastered the special enhanced version of this "qi" energy, but he had already appreciated its peculiarity.

[True Yuan] is not destructive for the time being, it is strong in that it can greatly enhance the physical fitness of Wang Shui, allowing Wang Shui to obtain the ability to far exceed the attribute value with the "5" points of all attributes of the human limit.

It's a pity that there is not much time left for Wang Shui to study quietly.

In the end, the various research institutes were solving the problems he raised, and he himself had to learn magic while mastering the [True Yuan].

Speaking of which, there has been a lot of progress in magic.

A long time ago, the [Spell Card Deadly Blade (Green)] that he bought from the priest of the Rosette God [Winter] had been completely analyzed by him in a stupid way.

Wang Shui relied on a self-taught knowledge system to construct magic.

But in this world, his attributeless energy recovery rate is very slow, and it is all up to him to transform his physical strength to obtain energy.

Playing magic all the time hurts the body, the earth's crust energy, dragon vein energy, and [True Yuan] can't directly construct spells, their existence forms and properties are completely different.

Wang Shui had gained enough from this trip to the new country, and he had stayed here for more than a year, far exceeding his expectations at that time.

Tonight he will return to Amestorius to make his final preparations.

……

……

The androids have already fought against the protagonist group.

Because of Wang Shui's interference, there are a few fewer key figures, such as the vengeful warrior monk Ska, who promotes various events, such as Enwei and Kimberly, who should still be active now.

While the plot deviates, it also maintains a certain degree of return, which makes Wang Shui feel a lot more relieved, at least for now, it seems that it is still the android side that is suppressing the protagonists.

Without anyone paying attention, Wang Shui returned to the small town of Lisenburg, because he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, and the next day, Edward, who was recuperating in the town and hiding from the military, came to the door, along with Wen Li.

By this time, both young people had grown up a lot, especially Edward, who was finally starting to grow up at the age of 16.

"Long time no see, Mr. Via."

The two said hello together, but the two seemed to have their own things on their minds.

"Edward, you've drained your life energy?"

Wang Shui noticed at a glance that Edward's "qi" was not quite right.

He remembered that in the original books, Edward was mortally wounded while fighting Kimblly in the North, so he had to see himself as a philosopher's stone for himself to heal himself.

Now it seems that even if the plot changes, some key nodes still happen.

"Thanks to the Philosopher's Stone technique you provided, the injury has healed...... Mr. Via, I have been asking you something since we parted last year. ”

As he spoke, Edward's eyes unconsciously looked at the small leather bag on Wang Shui's waist.

Inside was the alchemy pen of Aqua regia, and in the alchemy pen was something that Edward cared about—the philosopher's graphite.

Wang Shui was even more straightforward, he took out three philosopher's stones directly from the leather bag and put them on the table, and asked:

"Do you want to ask this?"

"Yes...... Yes, Mr. Via, you are ...... What kind of mindset did you have in mind to make them, and why are you able to use them so calmly? ”

Edward's face became very serious, and Wang Shui also replied seriously:

"Because I need it, I need strength, I need knowledge, I need to use it to accomplish meaningful things, I need to use it to save people and kill people.

You can think of me as a person with a flexible moral line, or a simple bad person.

I will not restrain myself with the good and evil prevailing in the world, let alone overestimate my morality, everything I do is for profit and efficiency, in order to achieve my goals.

Of course, I don't just cross my line, even if it's not high. ”

Edward frowned, his face was both surprised and lost, in his eyes, the omnipotent Mr. Via should not be such a bad person.

But Edward is not that kind of Madonna, he can accept the actions of Aqua King, but he can't agree with it.

"It seems that your mind and character have matured enough, and now, I will give you a free chance to recover your hands and feet, including Alphonse, oh yes, what about Al?"

"Al and his father are helping to rebuild in a small town called Leo, and everyone is preparing for the day of the decisive battle."

Edward was not happy that Wang Shui wanted to restore his body, but asked:

"To help us recover, do you want to use the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Although with my knowledge and strength, I can completely avoid consuming the Philosopher's Stone, but I have no choice but to ask the "God", He doesn't want to return the body to you so simply, and the Philosopher's Stone has the authority that He can't refuse."

Wang Shui picked up a philosopher's stone and placed it in Edward's hand.

"Are you already so familiar with God? See Him often? ”

"Don't tempt me so carefully, I do see Him often, using the Philosopher's Stone as a ticket.

But He sees everything in the world as equals, and if you're bold enough, He's a talker, and it doesn't matter, what, what's your choice? ”

"No, I won't use it...... Why, Mr. Via, why are you able to play with your soul so calmly, to face their wails so calmly? ”

"Listen to it yourself, there is absolutely no wailing from these philosopher's stones."

Edward felt a look of surprise, he didn't have the ability of alchemy, but in general, the alchemist's spiritual power was enough to sense the soul in the Philosopher's Stone.

Sure enough, no!

"This! Don't! These Philosopher's Stones aren't made with human life?! ”

"No, it's just that I'm skilled, and the piece in your hand is for 300 people."

Edward's hand shook, and the Philosopher's Stone fell directly, but the stone did not fall to the ground, it floated strangely in the air, and then slowly flew back into the hands of Wang Shui.

"You! You've killed so many people! ”

Edward was already surprised enough to stand up, but no matter how panicked and angry he was now, he couldn't make a move against Mr. Via in front of him, he didn't want to or dare in every sense.

Wen Li was also shocked, and her reaction was not small.

Wang Shui is the improver and pioneer of modern mechanical armor technology, and is Wen Li's absolute idol.

Faced with the shock of the two, Wang Shui very calmly put the Philosopher's Stone back into the small leather bag, and then stood up and walked outside his house.

"I've killed far more people than you think, don't force yourself to respect me, everyone has their own landscapes, and there are different paths to them.

I'm glad that you're still keeping your bottom line.

For the sake of countless innocent civilians, you can shoot at the [Little Man in a Bottle], and you can plan with your friends to defeat it. But if you want to challenge me for those murderers, for those damned people...... I still advise you to think more about the people around you. ”

Before Wang Shui walked out of the room, Edward asked one last question:

"Mr. Via! Are all the people you killed criminals, all of them damned?! ”

Wang Shui had already left the room, and his lie came from outside the house:

"Of course."
