The soft golden afterglow falls from the blue sky, making the sparsely populated antique street look a little desolate. Although there are only a few customers, no one on the shops on both sides of the street has a sad face. On the contrary, everyone was happy and at ease.
The shops that can exist in this antique street for a long time are basically not opened for the purpose of making profit, or to pass the time, or to deceive others. In short, what stands out is a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and the overall atmosphere is therefore particularly Buddhist. Tie.
The breeze caressed the frightened bird bell under the eaves, causing soft chirping. The clear sound waves rippled and spread, but it never made people feel noisy. On the contrary, it made the surroundings more ethereal and clear.
Under the wind chime, there is a mahogany chess table placed horizontally between the two shops. An old man and a young man are sitting on both sides of the chess table. On the table, the Chu, He and Han kingdoms are fighting endlessly, and beside them are placed a cup of tea. The fragrance lingers.
On the chessboard, the red square rook was three and six, and the chess was placed between the two pieces, showing a threatening attitude. The old man retracted his palm with satisfaction, looked up at his opponent with a smile, and joked:
"Xu boy, Your business attitude during these three days of fishing and two days of netting is more Buddhist than mine."
On the other side of the chessboard, Xu Yue ignored the cannon and horse men who were threatened by the red rook, and instead directly moved the rook eight into eight, making a general move. .
After the chess pieces were settled, he glanced at the old man's slightly frowned brows, took a sip of the tea beside him, and then replied slowly.
"I don't expect this store to make a living anyway, so naturally I'm more casual. You take care of your old age and I take care of my health. It's all the same."
Compared with the crisis-ridden mission world and the race against time in the paradise city, the pace of life in the real world is always slower. Much more.
During this period of vacation, Xu Yue did not devote all his energy to improving his strength.
Although the three sub-minds in the spiritual space are still practicing the skills of hundreds of soldiers and refining the forging skills all the time, his main consciousness is peacefully immersed in this ordinary and ordinary daily trivial matter.
Relaxation is the way of civility and martial arts.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of 'pop' on the chessboard and the sweet ringing of the wind chimes above his head, his mind became calmer and calmer. The massive evil energy accumulated from killing too many animals on the mysterious island began to gradually subside until he was imprisoned. Securely locked inside the body.
Even the charm value, which has permanently dropped by two points due to the erosion of evil spirits, has a faint tendency to fluctuate in this pure and peaceful state, but the change is extremely slight.
The afterglow of the red sun gently passed over the chessboard where the chess pieces were becoming sparse. The old man slowly turned the red horse in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to retreat and defend.
"You kid really don't know how to respect the old and care for the young."
Xu Yue smiled faintly and did not respond, but the rook on the chessboard was eight and six, and it landed in the middle of the side of the nine palaces, completely blocking the Hongshuai's retreat.
"Hiss~"
Looking at the handsome man in the Nine Palaces who was in a dilemma, the old man couldn't help but hissed lightly, murderous at every step.
Seeing that there was no way to save the situation on the chessboard, he narrowed his eyes slightly. First, he moved the rook nine into two, and returned to the defense to temporarily stabilize the situation. Then he raised his eyes to look at Xu Yue on the opposite side, and began to attack the heart.
"Xiao Xu, I remember you are still single. My granddaughter is coming to see me in a few days. She has good education, good looks, and a good key personality. What do you think? Consider getting acquainted? This is a rare opportunity..."
"Mr. An, it's time You made a move."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Yue cut him off softly. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the deadlocked chessboard situation in front of him. The old man curled his lips indifferently and moved the red rook at will to eat up the black man who was pushing the handsome chess player. After the attack, he opened his mouth again and continued the previous topic.
"After passing this village, there is no such store. My granddaughter's suitors in Kyoto are like crucian carp crossing the river. I am not bragging to you..."
"Ma five into seven, general!"
"Pa! "
A clear sound of the move resounded, and the battle situation in the Chu-He-Han world was instantly clear. The black chess vaulted the horse general, while the black rook on the right blocked two roads, and the shogi on the left intercepted from the air. Three roads were blocked, and the red commander The vitality has been cut off and it is on the verge of death.
"The loser picks up the pieces, Old An will suffer the consequences. I will go back to the shop and prepare to close the door and get off work."
After saying that, without waiting for the old man to respond, Xu Yue drank the tea on the desk in one gulp, then stood up and left.
"Hey, you kid!"
Behind him, watching Xu Yue quickly enter the store, the old man pretended to call out in annoyance. After seeing no response, he shook his head and began to clean up the mess on the chess table.
I'm willing to admit defeat, he won't be so generous to someone, and he will win it back next time.
...…
night.
The quiet night is full of light and mist.
Through the simple window lattice, the moonlight, as delicate as silver sand, filled the bedroom with clear light, slowly dispelling the deep night darkness entrenched inside.
Under the cold moonlight, you can clearly see a tall figure sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.
...
The spiritual space, the upper floating island.
The two distracted figures were fighting passionately on the martial arts field, and the fire was rising in the forging room of the small courtyard. Xu Yue, as the spiritual subject, was quietly suspended outside the spiritual barrier, playing with a heart that kept shrinking like a heart. Inflated black ball.
This ball is the demon seed that he spent a full 3 points of intelligence attributes and a soul crystal (small) before leaving the paradise.
It wasn't until he actually started to operate the demon species that he truly realized that the complexity of this ability was far from being as simple as the skill introduction said.
The entire process of planting demon seeds can be roughly divided into five stages: cutting thoughts and condensing seeds, stabilizing the shape, planting and breeding, hatching and growing, and maturing and devouring the master.
Among them, the process of condensing the demon seed by reducing the intelligence attributes and condensing it is the process of condensing the prototype of the demon seed. This stage puts a heavy load on one's own mental body. For at least half a month, he cannot repeatedly condense the second demon seed, otherwise it will cause harm to himself. Irreversible mental damage.
The initially born demon species is only a prototype, so it is extremely fragile and requires a large amount of mental power or pure soul for it to absorb, so that it can completely stabilize its shape and become a stable demon species in the true sense.
In order to complete this step quickly, he consumed a soul crystal (small) as nourishment to succeed. At this stage, the demon seed can carry out the most important host cultivation.
As long as the planting is completed, the subsequent gestation, growth, maturation and other processes will begin on their own in the host's body. He only needs to wait for the final harvest by the Devourer.
Looking at the black ball in his hand, Xu Yue's eyes were deep. At this stage, the demon species could not see its various attributes and specific abilities.
It is just a seed now. After it completes its gestation in the host's body and hatches out the real monster, Xu Yue can connect with it through the monster's accompanying magic mirror and learn about the specific situation of the monster and the host.
This is bound to be a process that takes a lot of time, but he has enough patience to wait. The potential of the demon seed condensed with 3 points of intelligence attribute is the lowest variety, but correspondingly, the gestation and incubation time of the demon seed is also the shortest. For a short time, this is the best pathfinding stone.
Xu Yue doesn't expect much gain from this demon seed. What he values most now is intelligence. As long as enough intelligence can be fed back, the large amount of resources consumed for this will not be a loss.
A bit of white thought flew out from the center of the eyebrows, landed on the surface of the demon seed in his hand, and began to spread rapidly. Soon a white arrow was formed, with a mysterious and deep black core faintly visible inside.
Fennian is equivalent to his spiritual clone. It comes from the same source as the demon species. The two can naturally blend with each other. With the magical support of the demon species, the existence time limit of Fennian will be infinitely extended. This will be the magic of the demon species. The biggest reliance before species hatch.
Throwing away the strange arrow in his hand, the Xiaoyun Long Bow appeared in Xu Yue's hand, and then he drew the arrow and pulled the string. The bow was like a full moon, and the arrow tip pointed directly at the golden sea of stars above.
The string is loose, the arrow is coming out, let go!
"Whoops!"
A soft cry sounded in the void, and the white arrow wrapped in the demon species turned into a stream of light and flew upwards, and soon disappeared into the endless sea of stars above.
The moment the arrow disappeared from sight, Xu Yue's perception of distractions and demons was also completely cut off. He looked up at the golden sea of stars above. After pondering for a moment, he turned his sight to look at a blue star on the edge of the sea of stars. .
Among the bright gold, this blue color is particularly prominent. As for its specific origin, the stars are connected to the queen ant on the mysterious island.
The other party's spiritual space was developed with Xu Yue's help. As long as a little mental power is mixed in the development process as the cornerstone of constructing the spiritual space, when the space is completely formed, its corresponding coordinates will naturally appear in his sea of stars. superior.
And through this blue star, he can easily invade the ant queen's mind space. However, with the ant queen's spiritual skills, the result of rashly entering is most likely to be discovered by the opponent instantly, and then the distraction will be suppressed on the spot, and even some Possibility of source reverse intrusion.
There is no need to take risks at this stage, but it can be left for the future. Both the ant army and the many resources on the island are of great value.
Looking away from the blue stars, Xu Yue stopped paying attention to the boundless golden sea of stars. The bait had already been thrown in. How much he could harvest next depended on when the fish bit the hook.
As his body flashed, he disappeared from the top of the spiritual barrier, and then emerged in the lower Baji Realm.
Wisps of purple fire of desire were drawn from the surrounding sea of fire, and he began to actively temper his will.
...
The life patterns in the real world are peaceful. During the day, Xu Yue opens a shop, fishes, and makes iron, and when night falls, he escapes into the spiritual space to temper his will.
Although it is a bit boring, fortunately it is not boring. As time goes by, I have become more and more familiar with the control of the evil energy in the body, and the start time of the next mission is getting closer and closer.
[Tip: A new derivative world is about to open, and the Hunters will return to the park. Please make sure there are no witnesses around you]
[Transmitting...Transmission completed. ]
The long-lost sense of teleportation appeared, and Xu Yue quickly gathered his figure in the exclusive room.
[Hunter level: LV.10. You can receive a notification fifty minutes before entering the derived world. The hunter will enter the derived world in an hour. Please wait patiently. ]
...…
"Master, welcome back."
As soon as his eyes glanced at the pop-up paradise prompt in front of him, Ah Fu's voice also sounded simultaneously.
"Sir, the repair of the Sun Chaser has been completed. This is the captain's token retrieved from the Cybertron machine."
With Ah Fu stationed in Paradise City, all the tedious preparations before the world opens can be left to him. Completed, it really saved him a lot of time.
As for the supply of recovery products, the amount of ant honey he obtained in the trial world can probably meet the needs of the entire second level, so there is no need to go to the trading market to purchase it.
What's more, he also has the brewing formula of golden honey and royal jelly in his hand. He should not be short of the demand for recovery products within the third level.
Thinking of the two technical formulas that had not yet been transformed into physical objects, Xu Yue's eyes flashed. After taking the token handed over by Ah Fu to take back the space, he asked:
"How is the construction of the plant plantation going?"
"The construction is almost complete. All kinds of flowers and special strains brought back from the ant 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 hit his face. As far as he could see, he seemed to see the endless sea of flowers on the outer edge of the honeycomb, but the overall scale and volume of the flowers had shrunk a lot.
Behind the door was not A simple closed room, after special transformation in the paradise, it is more like a small and vast world.
There is sunlight and rain in the sky that can be adjusted at will, while the ground is covered with gorgeous and complex flowers of various colors, mixed with many kinds of special fungi.
Just to build this flower sea space, Xu Yue gave Ah Fu a control quota of 100,000 paradise coins.
These flowers, which are abundant in quantity and variety, are a prerequisite for brewing royal jelly and golden honey.
If you want to produce research results, it is necessary to spend money and resources. He has already predicted this. Now it seems that Afu has done a good job.
"How long will it take to produce results? Or what support is needed?"
After listening to Xu Yue's question, Afu thought for a moment and replied with some hesitation:
"The basic conditions for the sea of flowers have been met, but we still need to cultivate a A batch of specially modified bees. In this regard, I can purchase bee colonies in the park and use puppetization to transform the system, but it will take some time. "
"Then the flower sea needs a group of plant breeders, maybe I can purchase them. Some forest fairies and other creatures serve as servant gardeners of the sea of flowers.
"If the above two items can be solved, there will be preliminary results in the three derived worlds."
Afu's words gradually fell, and Xu Yue suddenly thought. The flower elf he had seen in a divination shop came to mind, and he evaluated the price of the flower elf in his mind. He said solemnly:
"You can handle the transformation of the bee colony yourself. If you don't have enough paradise coins, you can mobilize the shop at any time. As for the servant gardener, I will handle the funds in it. Compared with the forest goblin, another creature is more suitable."
...
During the conversation, ten minutes passed quickly, and the paradise prompt sounded again.
[Hunter will enter the derivative world: X-Men in fifty minutes. ]
After seeing the prompt information in front of him clearly, Xu Yue's breath stagnated, and the image of a dying old man in a wheelchair emerged clearly in his mind.
"Ha, long time no see."
With a chuckle, he took out the tablet from the space and began to quickly check various information about the X-Men.
X-Men is a rather large series, with more than ten movies alone, and it also contains two separate timelines.
And Wolverine 3, which he experienced in the Predator Trial, was just the most lonely part of it, not to mention the more complex parts such as film and television dramas and comic plots, which even have connections with the high-risk universe of Marvel. Tangled relationships.
Between different systems, the difference in combat power in this world is also huge. Take Magneto, one of the two poles of mutants, as an example. Some Magnetos can rub black holes with their hands, tear up the earth, and master high-end applications of magnetism. But some only use sheer brute force to manipulate steel, which can be said to be 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 mutants' combat power should not be underestimated, such as Apocalypse, and the Phoenix who can tear Apocalypse apart with his hands.
If he faced these two alone, the probability of him being defeated was as high as 99%. Even the newly acquired Sun God Apollo probably wouldn't be able to kill each other. That was truly the top combat power in the world.
Considering that he has just broken through to the second level, he is still far away from the top level if he is thrown into the body of mutants with endless perversions.
However, given the physical condition of mutants who generally have strong attacks but weak health, he is not without a chance to give it a try.
Time passed very quickly during the data query, and fifty minutes flew by.
[The time is up, the derivative world: X-Men is opened. There are no abnormalities in this world, the spatial coordinates are stable, and it consumes 0.025 ounces of space-time power. ]
[Based on the power of time and space consumed, the minimum comprehensive evaluation of the contractor in this world must reach C level. ]
[Open world: Hunters can encounter extremely powerful enemies in this world, so please be careful. ]
[The Derivative World Contact Platform is being activated...has been activated, and the remaining number of speeches is 6/6. ]
The Derivative World Contact Platform, this is a brand new function that was opened after he was promoted to the second level. It is equivalent to a public information communication channel opened for all contractors in the Derived World.
The start of this kind of channel is very helpful for the exchange of information between various contractors, forming a team, selling items, etc., which can be regarded as a very affordable benefit.
[Preparing for open world teleportation...]
A brand new prompt popped up, and Xu Yue's mouth twitched. He heard Su Xiao mention it during the chat. The meaning of this prompt is that the next blow will be very heavy!
"Master, what does this mean?"
Beside him, Ah Fu, who had only experienced the park's teleportation service once, although he did not know the meaning behind this pop-up prompt, he clearly felt something bad. The transmission was still fresh in his memory.
"It means that it is accumulating..."
Buzz~
It was as if a battering ram several meters thick was bombarding from behind. While his eyebrows were beating, Xu Yue had to hold back his steely instinctive reaction. For the first time, he It may not always be a good thing if you feel that the defense stack is too high at one time.
boom!
The next second, Xu Yue swore that he really heard the sound of brain sloshing in his skull, and then his eyes went dark and he lost all consciousness.
