Chapter 1: A New World Begins
The soft golden afterglow spills from the blue sky, setting off the sparsely populated antique street, and although there are few customers, none of the shops on both sides of the street are sad, but they are all happy.
The shops that can exist in this antique street for a long time are basically not for the main purpose of making a profit, or to pass the time, or to hide people's eyes, in short, what stands out is that it is relaxed, and the overall atmosphere is particularly Buddhist.
The breeze caressed the brass bells of the frightened birds under the eaves, bringing bursts of soft chirping, and the crisp sound waves rippled and spread, but did not make people feel noisy, but made the surroundings more ethereal and clear.
Under the wind chimes, there is a pair of mahogany chess tables placed horizontally between the two shops, an old and a young sit on both sides of the chess table, on the table table of the Chu River and Han Realm are fighting endlessly, and on the side is a light of tea with the fragrance of lingering.
On the chessboard, the red rook was three and six, and the chess fell between the two sons, showing the posture of a mighty horse, and the old man retracted his palm with satisfaction, raised his eyes to look at the opponent with a smile, and quipped:
"Xu boy, your business attitude of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days is more Buddhist than me."
On the opposite side of the chessboard, Xu Yue ignored the cannon and Ma Erzi who were coerced by the red car, but directly drove eight into eight and fell into the general.
After the chess pieces settled, he glanced at the old man's slightly frowning brows, and took a sip of tea on the side before replying slowly.
"Anyway, I don't expect this store to live, so it's naturally more casual, you care for the elderly, I take care of the health, it's all the same thing."
Compared to the dangerous mission world and the paradise city where every second counts, the pace of life in the real world is always much more relaxed.
During this period of time that could be regarded as a vacation, Xu Yue did not devote all his energy to improving his strength.
Although the three Dividing Minds in the mental space were still constantly practicing the Hundred Soldiers Technique and refining the forging technique, his main consciousness was quietly immersed in this ordinary and ordinary daily triviality.
One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs.
With the crisp sound of falling pieces on the chessboard, and the melodious sound of wind chimes echoing from time to time overhead, his mind became calmer and calmer, and the massive evil qi accumulated on the mysterious island due to too much killing began to gradually fall silent, until he was firmly locked in his body.
Even the charm value, which has permanently dropped by two points due to the erosion of evil energy, has a faint tendency to fluctuate in this state of purity and peace, but the change is extremely slight.
The afterglow of the red sun gently swept over the chessboard where the chess pieces were becoming sparse, and the old man slowly twisted the red horse in front of him, and after hesitating for a moment, he still chose to retreat back to defense.
"You kid really don't know how to respect the old and love the young."
Xu Yue smiled faintly and didn't respond, but the chessboard was eight flat and six, and it landed in the middle of the side of the Nine Palaces, completely blocking Hong Shuai's retreat.
"Hiss~"
Looking at the red handsome in the dilemma in the Nine Palaces, the old man couldn't help but hiss, killing step by step.
Seeing that there was no power to return to the sky on the chessboard, his eyes narrowed slightly, first the car nine into two, and returned to the defense to temporarily stabilize the situation, and then raised his eyes to look at Xu Yue on the opposite side, and began to attack the heart.
"Xiao Xu, I remember that you are still single, my granddaughter will come to see me in a few days, she has a good education, good looks, and a good personality, how about it? Thinking about getting acquainted? It's a rare opportunity......"
"Elder An, it's time for you to fall down."
Before the words were finished, he was softly cut off by Xu Yue, and glanced at the chessboard situation in front of him, the old man pouted absently, and after moving the red car at will to eat the black cannon of the handsome chess, he opened his mouth again to continue the previous topic.
"After this village, there is no such shop, my granddaughter's suitors in Kyoto are like carp across the river, not me and you blow ......"
"Horse five into seven, general!"
"Smack!"
A crisp sound of falling children resounded, and it also made the battle situation on the Chu River and Han realm instantly clear, the black chess jumping horse general, and the black car on the right blocked the two roads, and the shogi on the left side was intercepted in the air, and the three ways were blocked, and the red handsome was already cut off, showing a desperate trend.
"The loser will clean up the mess, and you will be tired, so I will go back to the store first to prepare for closing and getting off work."
After that, without waiting for the old man to respond, Xu Yue drank all the tea on the desk, and then got up and left.
"Hey, you kid!"
Behind him, looking at the back of Xu Yue stepping into the store quickly, the old man pretended to be annoyed and called out, and after seeing that there was no response, he still shook his head and began to honestly clean up the mess on the chess table.
Willing to gamble and lose, he will not have this kind of bearing, and he will win it back next time.
………
Night.
The night is dull and misty.
Through the quaint window lattice, the delicate moonlight like silver sand sprinkled a clear light in the bedroom, but slowly dispelled the deep night entrenched inside.
In the cold moonlight, a tall figure could be clearly seen sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed.
…………
Spiritual space, upper floating island.
The two distraction figures were in full swing on the martial arts arena, the furnace fire in the forging room of the small courtyard was rising, and Xu Yue, as the spiritual subject, was quietly suspended outside the spiritual barrier, playing with a black ball that was constantly contracting and expanding like a heart.
This ball is the demon seed that he conceived after spending a full 3 points of intelligence attribute and a soul crystal (small) before leaving the park.
It wasn't until he actually started to operate the demon seed that he really felt that the complexity of this ability was far from being as simple as the skill introduction said.
The whole process of demon seed cultivation can be roughly divided into five stages: slashing the seed and condensing the seed, stabilizing the formation, planting and breeding, hatching and growing, and maturing and devouring.
Among them, the condensation of the mind is the process of reducing the intelligence attribute and condensing the prototype of the demon seed, this stage has a great load on his own spiritual body, at least half a month, he cannot condense the second demon seed repeatedly, otherwise it will cause irreversible mental damage to himself.
The initial birth of the demon seed is only a rudimentary form, so it is extremely fragile, and it needs a lot of spiritual power or pure soul for it to absorb, so that it can completely stabilize and gather and become a stable demon seed in the true sense.
In order to complete this step quickly, he consumed a soul crystal (small) as nourishment to succeed, and at this stage, the demon seed can be planted as the most important host.
As long as the planting is completed, the next process of gestation, growth, and maturation will unfold in the host's body on its own, and he only needs to wait for the final phagogue to harvest.
Looking at the black ball in his hand, Xu Yue's eyes were deep, the demon seed at this stage could not see the various attributes and specific abilities.
It is now just a seed, and after it has completed its gestation in the host body and hatched into a real monster, Xu Yue can connect with it through the monster's companion magic mirror, and use this to understand the specific situation of the monster and the host.
This is destined to take a lot of time, but he has enough patience to wait, the potential of the demon seed condensed by the 3 intelligence attributes belongs to the lowest variety, but correspondingly, the time for the demon seed to conceive and hatch is also the shortest, which is the best pathfinder.
Xu Yue didn't expect this demon seed to bring much gain, what he valued most now was intelligence, as long as he could give back enough information, the large amount of resources consumed for this would not be a loss.
A little white distraction flew out from the center of his eyebrows, landed on the surface of the demon seed in his hand, and began to spread rapidly, and soon a white arrow was formed, and the mysterious and deep black core was faintly visible inside.
Split thoughts are equivalent to his divine thought clones, and they come from the same source as the demon seed, and the two can naturally blend with each other, and with the mana support of the demon seed, the time limit of the existence of the split mind will also be infinitely extended, which will be the biggest reliance before the demon seed hatches.
Throwing the strange arrow in his hand, the Xiaoyun longbow in Xu Yue's hand appeared, and then the arrow pulled the string, the bow was like a full moon, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at the golden sea of stars above.
The strings are loose, the arrows are out, and the arrows are released!
"Whew!"
A soft roar sounded in the void, and the white arrow wrapped in the demon seed turned into a stream of light and flew upward, quickly disappearing into the endless sea of stars above.
The moment the arrow disappeared from his field of vision, Xu Yue's perception of distraction and demon seed was also completely cut off, and he looked up at the golden sea of stars in the sky, and after a moment of silence, he turned his gaze to look at a blue star on the edge of the sea of stars.
In a brilliant gold, this blue is particularly remarkable, and as for the specific origin, the stars are connected to the queen ant of the mysterious island.
The other party's mental space was all developed by Xu Yue, as long as a little spiritual power was mixed in the development process as the cornerstone of building the spiritual space, when the space was completely formed, its corresponding coordinates would naturally appear on his sea of stars.
And through this blue star, he can easily invade the queen's mental space, but with the queen's psychic attainment, the result of rash entry is most likely to be discovered by the other party instantly, and then the distraction is destroyed on the spot, and there is even the possibility of reverse invasion of the source.
There is no need to take risks at this stage, but it can be left for the future, whether it is the army of ants or the many resources on the island, they are of great value.
Retracting his gaze from the blue star, Xu Yue didn't continue to pay attention to the boundless golden sea of stars, the bait had already been thrown in, and how much he could harvest next depended on when the fish bit the hook.
With a flicker of his figure, he disappeared at the top of the mental barrier, and instead appeared in the Eight Extremes Realm below.
Wisps of lust purple fire were drawn out from the outer sea of fire, and he began to take the initiative to temper his will.
…………
The days in the real world are peaceful and peaceful, Xu Yue opens a shop during the day to fish, makes up for iron, and after nightfall, he escapes into the spiritual space to temper his will.
Although it is a bit bland, but fortunately, it is not boring, as time goes by, the mastery of the evil qi in the body is becoming more and more familiar, and the start time of the next mission is getting closer and closer.
[Hint: A new spin-off world is about to open, and the Hunter will return to the park, please make sure there are no witnesses around]
【Teleporting...... The transfer is complete. 】
A long-lost sense of teleportation appeared, and Xu Yue quickly condensed his figure in the exclusive room.
[Hunter Level: LV.10, you can be notified fifty minutes before entering the derivative world, the hunter will enter the spin-off world after an hour, please be patient.] 】
……………
"Welcome back, sir."
As soon as his eyes swept over the paradise prompt that popped up in front of him, Ah Fu's voice also sounded synchronously.
"Sir, the Sunrise has been repaired, and this is the Captain's Token retrieved from Cybertron Machinery."
With Ah Fu residing in the paradise city, all kinds of tedious preparations before the world opens can be completed by the other party, which really saves him a lot of time.
As for the supply of recovery products, he had obtained so much ant honey in the trial world that it was estimated that it could meet the needs of the entire second order, so there was no need to go to the trading market to purchase it.
What's more, he still has the brewing recipes of golden honey and royal jelly in his hands, and he should not lack the demand for recovery products within the third order.
Thinking of the two skill formulas that had not yet been transformed into physical objects, Xu Yue's eyes flashed, and after taking the token handed by Ah Fu and retracting the space, he asked:
"How well is the plant plantation built?"
"It's almost finished, and all kinds of flowers and special strains brought back from the nest have been planted."
As he spoke, Ah Fu walked towards a newly opened room in the exclusive space, followed by Xu Yue.
As the door of the room opened, a refreshing fragrance of flowers came to his face, and as far as he could see, he seemed to see the endless sea of flowers on the outer edge of the hive, but the overall scale and volume of flowers have shrunk a lot.
Behind the gate is not just a closed room, after the special transformation of the park, it is more like a large and vast small world.
The sky above is filled with sunshine and rain that can be adjusted at will, while the ground is covered in a variety of colorful flowers, mixed with a wide variety of special fungi.
Just to build this space of flowers, Xu Yue gave Ah Fu a quota of 100,000 paradise coins.
These abundant flowers are a prerequisite for the brewing of royal jelly and golden honey.
If you want to research results, throwing money and resources is a necessary premise, he has long expected this, and now it seems that Ah Fu has done a good job.
"How long will it take to get results? Or what support is needed? ”
After listening to Xu Yue's question, Ah Fu thought for a moment, and replied with some hesitation:
"The basic conditions of the flower sea have been met, but we still need to cultivate a group of bees that have been specially modified, and I can buy bee colonies in the park and use puppetry to transform the system, but it will take some time."
"Then there is the need for a group of botanical cultivators in the flower sea, and maybe some forest elves and other creatures can be purchased as servant gardeners in the flower sea."
"If the above two can be solved, there will be preliminary results in the three derivative worlds."
Ah Fu's voice gradually fell, and Xu Yue's mind suddenly appeared that he had seen the flower fairy in a divination shop, and he evaluated the price of the flower fairy in his heart, and he said in a deep voice:
"You can handle the transformation of the bee colony yourself, if you don't have enough park coins, you can mobilize the funds in the store at any time, and as for the servant gardener, I will deal with it, compared to the forest fairy, another creature is more suitable."
…………
During the conversation, ten minutes passed quickly, and the park prompt popped up again.
[The Hunter will enter the spin-off world in fifty minutes: X-Men.] 】
After seeing the prompt information in front of him, Xu Yue's breath stagnated, and the image of a dying old man in a wheelchair clearly appeared in his mind.
"Oh, long time no see."
With a chuckle, he took out the tablet from the space and began to quickly query all kinds of information about the X-Men.
The X-Men is a fairly large series, with more than a dozen movies alone, and two separate timelines.
And the Wolverine 3 he experienced in the Hunter Trial is only the most lonely part of it, not to mention the more complex parts such as film and television series and comic book plots, and even has an entangled relationship with the high-risk universe of Marvel.
Taking Magneto, one of the mutant bipolar poles, as an example, some Magneto can rub black holes, tear up the earth, and master the high-end use of magnetism, while others only manipulate steel, which can be called pure brute force used as a war hammer with a nuclear bomb.
With the strength of the derivative world, the X-Men world should be dominated by the movie system, but those characters at the top of the mutant combat power should not be underestimated, such as the apocalypse, and the phoenix that can tear the apocalypse apart.
If he faces these two alone, the probability of him being cool is as high as 99%, and even Apollo, the sun god who has just arrived, is estimated to be unable to kill the other party, which is really standing at the top of the world.
With the extent to which he has just broken through the second order, he is still a long way from the top level when he is thrown into the body of the mutant crowd who are constantly metamorphosed.
However, with the mutant's generally strong and thin-blooded physical condition, he is not without a chance to fight.
Time flies very quickly in the information inquiry, and fifty minutes pass in a flash.
[When the time comes, the derivative world: X-Men is opened, there is no anomaly in this world, the spatial coordinates are stable, and the power of time and space is consumed by 0.025 ounces. 】
[According to the power of time and space that has been consumed, the minimum comprehensive evaluation of the contractor in this world must reach level C.] 】
[Open World: Hunters can encounter extremely powerful enemies in this world, so please be cautious about hunters.] 】
【Derivative World Liaison Platform Activation......... Activated, 6/6 of the remaining number of speeches. 】
The Derivative World Liaison Platform, a new feature that he opened only after he was promoted to the Second Order, is equivalent to a public information communication channel for all contractors in the Derivative World.
The beginning of this kind of channel is a great help for the exchange of information between various contractors, the formation of teams, the sale of items, etc., which is quite an affordable benefit.
[Preparing for Open World Teleportation......]
A brand new prompt popped up, the corners of Xu Yue's mouth twitched, he heard Su Xiao mention it when chatting, the meaning of this prompt is that the next blow will be very heavy!
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
On his side, as Ah Fu, who had only experienced the park's teleportation service once, although he didn't know the meaning behind this pop-up prompt, he also clearly felt a bad aura, and he still remembered the teleportation of the last one.
"It means that it is accumulating strength......
Airplanes~
As if a sturdy battering ram of several meters was bombarded from behind him, Xu Yue had to forcibly resist the instinctive reaction of the tempering while his eyebrows were jumping, and for the first time, he felt that the defense was stacked too high, and it was not necessarily a good thing.
Bang!
In the next second, Xu Yue swore that he really heard the sound of brain swaying in his skull, and then his eyes were pitch black and he lost all consciousness.
