Chapter 69: My Answer
Next.
Su Nian went to the family planning department to go through the procedures for delaying marriage.
The main thing is to fill out a form explaining why you want to apply for a marriage delay, and then you can get up to a year of marriage delay.
You can make up the reasons for filling in by yourself, but you must directly participate in the marriage match one year after the application is approved, and you are not allowed to refuse again.
For the sake of the continuation of the human fire, the human high-level has turned marriage and childbirth into compulsory measures.
In the early years, there were even proposals to develop living machines to produce offspring.
Scientists want to synthesize DNA and inject genetic information into living machines, so that it has the possibility of normal reproductive pathways, so that the human fire can continue in another way.
But this proposal was opposed by a large number of voices.
Thinking that in this way of reproduction, human beings are like products on an assembly line, losing the meaning of existence.
Condemned by too many voices on the moral level, the proposal for a living machine to produce offspring was vetoed by the top brass of the Earth Alliance.
Although the current plan is a mandatory measure, the government has also given a lot of maternity benefits.
For example, a series of institutions to assist in the care of children such as childcare classes are opened, and secondly, maternity subsidies are issued every year to ensure the normal operation of the family.
In short, the children's expenses are paid for by the Earth Alliance government branch in the city.
Su Nian's application this time is completely a process, and the marriage match will be postponed for a year.
As for how to face it in a year's time, he didn't have the heart to think about it for the time being.
There was still half a day before the next trip to the Decaying World, and in the afternoon, Su Nian went to a fresh supermarket and bought a batch of ingredients to prepare for dinner.
Before embarking on a new round of exploration, it's important to have a full stomach.
After all, it is completely unknown whether you can find food in the decaying world, and if you go to a special scene without food, it is easy to go hungry without a food source. ,
In the Purgatory Mall, you can buy nutritional potions for 5 embers per bottle.
But nutritional pills can't fill your stomach, and hunger still exists.
The time came to 6 p.m.
Su Nian and Ji Yun gathered outside the teleportation point in Purgatory City.
This is their fourth trip to the World of Decay, and the difficulty will still be at the Waning Moon level.
Passing through the invisible barrier, they came to stand in front of the teleportation plaza.
Under their feet was a complex teleportation formation pattern constructed of blood-colored spirit patterns, and after their arrival, the formation flickered, and a camp prompt sounded in their minds:
[Faction Prompt: The time of the Infernal God's Gift is over, and the teleportation to the Decayed World begins.] 】
Bits of blood poured in from all directions, and the surrounding scene distorted and changed.
When his vision was obscured by blood, Su Nian felt a strong sense of weightlessness coming.
The feeling of weightlessness comes and goes quickly.
When the blood in front of him dissipated, he found that his surroundings were extremely hot.
Looking up, the sky was filled with thick volcanic smoke, which weakened the faint glow of the waning moon, and the ground here was scorched to a charred color, and the lava could be seen flowing through the cracks in the dry ground, and even the air seemed to be burning.
In the distance, towering volcanoes spew hot flames, and a heat wave visible to the naked eye rages.
At this time, Su Nian felt that he was in a furnace, and it became difficult to breathe.
At this moment, a succession of faction prompts sounded:
[Faction Hint (Purgatory City): Enter the special scene "Scorching Storm", the scene difficulty is 2 stars. 】
[Faction Hint (Purgatory City): Trigger the main quest of the Ruins scene: Hunting.] 】
Main Quest: Hunt 10 Fire Elemental Lives (0/10)
[Faction Hint (Infernal City): Trigger Special Scene Side Quest: Power of Fire]
Requirements: Find the flame of life, and sacrifice it after returning to Purgatory City to complete the task.
Reward: Skill (Fire Power)
[Faction Hint (Purgatory City): Trigger Special Scene Side Quest: Copper Furnace Forge]
Requirements: Find the forge chamber of the copper furnace near the crater and obtain the internal forging weapons and equipment.
Reward: 600 Blood Embers.
……
This time, there are only eight main quests plus side quests.
Among them, the most rewarding task is still the task of capturing the source of corrosion, and there are two nodes of the source of corruption in the scene under your feet that can be occupied.
Each Corrupt Source node captures up to 3,500 Blood Embers.
It can be seen that the ember income continuously produced by the corrosion source node here is higher than that of the corrosion source node in the Scarlet War scene.
In terms of tasks, the Purgatory God has always marked the price clearly.
The higher the reward for the mission, the higher the Embers reward for completion.
After glancing at the mountains not far away, Su Nian decided to stand on a high place to observe the situation in the vicinity first, and then decide on an exploration route.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed a smear of blood in the empty basin in front of him.
The blood-colored smear was like ink dripping into water, quickly rendering, and then twisting and spinning to form a blood-colored vortex.
The whirlpool spun rapidly, expanding in size, and in the blink of an eye, blood enveloped the world and shrouded him.
He turned his head to look and found that Ji Yun's figure had disappeared.
At a loss, a blood-colored humanoid figure slowly stepped out of the blood-colored vortex.
This figure is more than three meters tall, full of muscles and hair, with a pair of demonic horns on its head, its body shrouded in thin blood mist flames, and a pair of eye-catching blood-colored wings behind it.
The terrifying killing intent mixed with the sense of oppression rushed towards it, and even the heat wave stopped in front of its breath.
Even though he was far away, Su Nian still felt an endless sense of oppression.
It seems that with just one look from the other party, he can be put to death.
What frightened him even more was that this figure looked exactly like the statue of the Purgatory God standing in the outer city.
A horrible conjecture crossed his mind.
The God of Purgatory is here!
"Found you."
At that moment, the demonic figure looked at him, a hideous smile on his face.
"Sure enough...... Is it the God of Purgatory? ”
A touch of bitterness appeared on Su Nian's face, he knew that he was finished, completely over.
The fact that he owns Shadow City was discovered by the omnipotent God of Purgatory, and the next thing he has to face is death.
Even if he is unwilling, in the face of the God of Purgatory, no matter how much he struggles, he can't change the ending.
Just when Su Nian thought that he would be killed, water ripples appeared beside him, and a figure appeared beside him through the water waves, and he looked at the blood-colored demon in the distance and smiled:
"Brother Nian, this guy is not a Purgatory God, he is the commander of the First Legion under the Purgatory God, and he is the condensation of all anger emotions, also known as anger ...... I didn't expect it to come so quickly, faster than I expected. ”
Turning his head to look at Ji Yun who suddenly appeared beside him, Su Nian's eyes were full of surprise.
"Ayun...... Why? ”
"Brother Nian, you once asked me a question, why should I challenge the invincible Purgatory God when I am so small."
"My answer to you is that the Decaying World has infinite possibilities, and perhaps I can gain the power to surpass the Purgatory God in the process of continuous exploration."
When the words fell, a bright starlight appeared in Su Nian's eyes, and he looked at the blood-colored demon in the distance:
"I ...... Looks like it's been found. ”
