Chapter Eighty-Six: The Gift of the Stars

Transcendents also need rest, or they need rest more than ordinary people.

After the development of the body and soul, there will be a lot of consumption inadvertently, and the more old the transcendent, the better at constricting strength and resting.

Whether it's sleep, deep meditation is not only about resting the body, but also about restoring the soul.

But on the first night on the luxury ship, Wang Shui did not fall asleep.

He leaned back on the couch and looked out the window at the simulated false sky, with an ugly pipe and a few compressed tobacco pies on the table at hand.

He wasn't smoking, he just listened to Sylvia's advice and began to prepare some less brutal means of self-defense, and passed the time with it.

The super city [Triad] under the management of a high civilization is completely different from the high-tech and low-quality battlefield city under the control of the system.

Sylvia advises Shui Wang not to kill people casually, it will be quite troublesome to deal with afterwards.

Wang Shui expressed disdain for this, he never felt that he was a murderer, and then put away the Philosopher's Stone and those special bullets.

After tossing for a short time, Wang Shui still didn't feel sleepy, and even said that the long journey did make him a little tired, but he just couldn't sleep.

Switching the world outside the window to a rainy night, moist and cold, mixed with the earthy fragrance of the rain, poured into the villa from the air circulation system, making Wang level a lot quieter.

Sylvia has only been there for about half an hour, and she's been quite busy lately.

After a while of scrolling through the descriptions of the planet [Triad], or that megacity, on the Internet, the bored Wang Shui, he looked at professional books on botany.

It's a pity that the complex professional knowledge can't make him as sleepy as he was when he was a teenager, but fortunately, these contents are not boring.

And outside, the rain kept falling.

……

……

The second day in the rain came quietly.

In the dining area of the small villa, Wang Shui and the gel android enjoyed the free food served by the mechanical butler of the structure.

"These free stalls of food cost two or three hundred yuan in Ruined City."

Wang Shui is trying to talk, but unfortunately, today's sister cares more about the food on the table.

"Hmm."

The younger sister replied in the affirmative, and then swallowed the duck fat baked potatoes seasoned with caviar in one bite, and the rich fat aroma spread evenly in the slow chewing, and the oiliness was tempered by the appropriate salty umami.

It's not enough, but it also needs to be accompanied by a little sweet and sour wine at the end.

The food is not expensive, and it is satisfying because of the exquisite taste configuration.

The sister who enjoys the food is named [Nephrite], and she is a group of people who awakened her self-consciousness late, and she is also a rather special sister.

She is the only one of all her sisters who has become "fat", but according to the original slender body shape of the wolf girl template, she is just relatively round, and plump is not counted.

It is very difficult for transcendent people to change their bodies, especially after professional training, and the energy supplement obtained by simply eating is much lower than the consumption of low-intensity activities.

The deficit part is generally directly replenished by the environment, and the life energy will remain in a stable range, and most transcendents will not be too fat or too thin.

Sylvia's current bodies have been adjusted by aqua regia, and these bodies will grow with their souls and acquire quite good transcendent qualities, similar to natural transcendentals.

Of course, the upper limit of the potential of these bodies is not too high.

[Nephrite] is a special individual, her hobbies are food and sleep, but she is not lazy, she likes sports and fighting, she also likes to read and think, and she is a very well-rounded and powerful sister.

What she doesn't like is probably Aqua Aqua Aucasia, because Aqua Aqua Aqua has conducted an abstinence experiment on her to test whether she has special abilities in terms of diet.

It turns out that there is.

After sufficient food replenishment, the [Nephrite] sister can even suppress her sister Sylvia in combat, and she is stronger than the intelligent "Yue" in terms of computing power and analysis, and she is the first person in the base.

Of course, Sylvia will be suppressed, purely because her physical fitness can't keep up with her thinking, and [Nephrite] sister surpasses her sister in physical fitness by eating and growing.

Today, Nephrite's sister is willing to come, mainly because Wang Shui posted the free menu here.

After three hours of slow fighting, she had almost eaten up the food for four by herself, but the way she ate seriously was indeed healing.

After another half an hour of rest, Wang Shui removed the simple instrument on the android's body, filled in the new data into the table and calculated, and came to a new conclusion.

"The data shows that this body has obviously become a little stronger, and the deformation gel that makes up the human body has an evolutionary trend, so it is basically certain that nephrite's ability comes from the soul, and its effect is to strengthen the body through eating."

Wang Shui muttered to himself as he archived the records, and debugging the artificial human body was his long-term research topic.

And just as he leaned over to check, Nephrite, who was lying on the single sofa, slowly stretched out her hands, she wrapped her arms around Wang Shui's neck, and her slender and flexible legs also trapped Wang Shui slowly and smartly.

In fact, Wang Shui had already found out, but he didn't start to resist until he finished recording the file, and then Wang Shui found out that he overestimated himself.

Ten seconds later, he was firmly locked in by nephrite and trapped on the couch.

"Well, excuse me, what are you doing here?"

"Exercise after meals."

Nephrite cherishes words like gold, and in this tightness, she seems to have found a more comfortable position to close her eyes and rest.

As long as Wang Shui wanted to break free, he could feel the discomfort of the anti-joint, and the muscles of his limbs were also trapped in a state where it was difficult to exert force.

In fact, his head can still move, and if he can stand up, he can barely walk on his legs.

But nephrite's release of water is not a reason for him to crack violently, after all, what is hanging on his body is not an enemy, if he dares to crack violently, then ...... It's not a simple lock.

"I'm going out to eat, Tsuki says you're rich."

Just as Wang Shui was trying to convince the other party, Nephrite made a condition.

"Then you put ...... first"

Before the childish negotiations began, a light "voice" swept over the villa, or rather, resounded throughout the ship.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

[Dear passengers, this is "Monroe, the flagship of the Third Fleet of the Circle of Machines", and I am the "PX-1421" of the fleet's intelligent core. 】

[First of all, thank you for choosing our ship to travel in the universe, now that the fleet replenishment has ended, we will set sail in 30 minutes and head to the next stop, "Triad Starport", with an estimated time of 68 standard hours. 】

[At that time, the fleet will activate Level 4 Alert, except for standard taboo items, please do not use unstable space items on any ships, or carry any items related to "alien gods".] If you already have it, or if you have something inconvenient, please contact any staff member around you immediately, and in 30 minutes, the Witcher will join the regular security work. 】

β€”β€”β€”β€”

It was psionic broadcasting (1), and it rang three times.

On the second pass, Wang Shui reviewed the list of taboos for the fourth level of security and confirmed that he did not bring contraband.

At this time, Nephrite also relaxed her confinement, her eyes staring at Wang Shui, urging him to finish the words he was about to compromise just now.

Wang Shui sighed lightly and said helplessly:

"Okay, I'll treat you to something to eat when we set sail. However, I have a question, the wolf girl's body is fine, I have integrated the [Array Annihilation Cycle] for you, this body does not have the annihilation stomach to help digestion, don't you hold it? Again, don't you need to go to the toilet? ”

The answer to Wang Shui was a nephrite guillotine!

"Now that you know, don't you add it quickly!"

So the time to go shopping was delayed a bit.

Aqua regia not only had to add various arrays, but also had to readjust the body of this artificial man, at least to clean up those tattoo-like array lines and hide them under the skin.

The transformation was completed quickly, and due to the high strength and adaptability of the Morphing Gel, the artificial body was strengthened a lot.

This is probably the strongest artificial human body made by aqua regia.

And Wang Shui found that it was also thanks to the Morphing Gel that no matter which sister came, this body could always immediately gain their own characteristic abilities.

Aqua regia's evaluation of this is that the magical, deforming gel is worthy of its price.

The only thing that puzzled Shui Wang was the appearance of this body - she was not what Sylvia looked like, but a woman that Shui Wang didn't recognize.

Long black hair and red eyes, facial features are also a little heroic, the most special thing is the appropriate fusion of girlishness and rationality, which is difficult to ignore.

Wang Shui didn't care about it at first, until when he adjusted this body, he found that his sisters had strictly restricted their appearance, and even Wang Shui couldn't easily change it.

So, while they were strolling through the leisure streets of the ship, Wang Shui couldn't help but ask everyone through the internal network.

"Don't worry, the owner of that face is dead."

Sylvia replied lightly, "...... And she died in my hometown, she was my master, my chief of guard, and an existence like my mother. ”

"How did you die?"

To be reasonable, this is a little rude for Wang Shui, but he knows Sylvia and knows that she doesn't want to mention it.

"The slave-turned-captain of the guard naturally died in front of me, and she blocked the deadly attack for me, so that I died half a year late.

Okay, don't think about it, after entering the fifth order, I used high-level authority to look for her traces in this world, but unfortunately I didn't. But I think for her, death is the real relief, she needs rest so much. ”

A very informative, but very small paragraph, Wang Shui heard Sylvia's exclusive sadness.

After finishing speaking, Sylvia quit the channel, which was a sign that she didn't want to say more, and Wang Shui also closed her mouth with interest.

Speaking of which, this kind of bridge is not uncommon in entertainment works, and sincere feelings are destroyed in front of them, which will always bring heart-wrenching resonance, but Wang Shui doesn't like this method very much.

At this time, Wang Shui thought that he didn't even ask what this master's name was.

It's the Hill sisters, who are usually emotionally sluggish, who exude love for this face in the channel.

"I'm going to eat that! Those pastries! ”

Oh, except for this one.

Looking at the pastry shop next to him, Wang Shui checked the pile of bags in his hand, and couldn't help but remind:

"After buying these, let's go to the dining area above and eat them, and then go shopping, I'm going to push an automated shopping cart."

Sister Nephrite naturally agreed, looking forward to the taste of these delicacies more than Aqua regia.

What Wang Shui is looking forward to is the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining area.

They chose a window spot to eat, but not many people actually came to eat at this time.

Or, in other words, most of them should not like to eat in such public areas.

Sister Nephrite began her feast, while Shui Wang looked out of the porthole with some distraction.

Space was much darker than he had imagined, or there was not much light as far as his eyes could see.

The flagship named [Monroe] has left the spaceport, and the war-torn planet has begun to grow smaller, except for the more distant corner of the star, there is not much color in space.

I don't know if it's because the lights here are too bright, and the distant stars are a little dim.

Wang Shui looked at space intently - in his hometown, on the blue planet, his compatriots had just finished building a base on the moon, and humans had only built small cities on the space station, and had not yet explored deep space.

And as a programmer with average physical fitness, he has no chance, let alone time, to go to space.

He had only seen the kind of spectacle described by a very small number of human elites on the Internet, that kind of - a sense of shock.

Today, he saw it.

He saw the dark and mysterious universe, and saw more of the unknown, and this feeling was not the same as the world he saw in the Gate of Truthβ€”no, there were some similarities.

Gradually, Wang Shui recalled the feeling of being one with the universe of the fantasy world.

It is the emptiness and fullness on the level of time and space, the spiritual is gradually empty, but the world is more full, and those places that are empty are actually full of ......

Bang –

Aqua regia's head slammed against the composite table, and it wasn't until a sweet mixture of orange and lemon filled his mouth that he recovered from the sweetness and a little sourness.

It was the nephrite sister who shoved some kind of fruit from the ice cream into his mouth while looking at him with an inexplicably complicated emotion.

"I ......"

Shui Wang was regaining consciousness, but he knew what had just happenedβ€”he was trying to get a glimpse of the truth, trying to become one with this universe.

But he didn't mean to, just because he had a precedent of fusion, and the spiritual touch that represented "omniscience" was still tempting him.

Wang Shui was alert, he suppressed the impulse, and he immediately recognized that after this separation, it seemed that he could no longer take the initiative to enter that state......

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"Are you alright?" Sister Nephrite was still eating, but she looked at Wang Shui with a face-saving face and said, "Just now in your hand, there was a slight energy fluctuation. ”

Nephrite's words startled Wang Shui, and he quickly took off the gloves on his hands, and on the back of his right hand, an inexplicable pattern appeared.

It was a coin-sized motif in the classic alchemy ring, in the shape of his Gate of Truth, except that the contents depicted on the Gate of Truth had been completely emptied.

Instead, it's a three-dimensional, openwork sphere that seems to be in motion?

Wang Shui immediately thought of the white space, the space that held his door of truth, and in that space there was a similar ball.

No, that's the ball! The ball formed by the movement of many concentric rings, aqua regia could feel, it was!

And now, it has merged with the Gate of Truth, and some unfamiliar information has surfaced in Wang Shui's mind.

While Wang Shui's shocked mood slowly calmed down, the tattoo on the back of his hand began to fade away.

"What's that?" The sister next to her also saw this magical scene.

Wang Shui's expression was still a little sluggish, but he said with great certainty:

"That's it, a gift from the stars."

Note (1): Psionic energy here refers to spiritual energy, which is similar to the description of spiritual power, mental power, soul energy, etc., they refer to the same kind of power, which is the field energy generated by the thinking activities of intelligent beings, not just bioelectricity!

I mentioned it occasionally before, but I felt that it was more abrupt to write it in the text, and it made me uncomfortable to overdescribe, so I put a note.

Oh yes, there will be a change tomorrow, no kidding~
