Sham Well Raiders

Chapter 4 4, The Creation
The Buddhists concluded that there are seven kinds of suffering in life: birth, old age, illness, death, resentment and hatred, separation from love, and not getting what you want.

The pain of losing a loved one is undoubtedly one of the seven sufferings.

On a certain online text platform, novices who have no favorites, no recommendation tickets, and can't sign a contract will have the opportunity to experience seven of the seven sufferings.

For Lian Hero, who was still a junior high school student, the sad news of his father's sudden death hit him as hard as the moon falling to the ground, piercing a big hole in his heart, and the bright red blood was exposed like lava.

"These sad and hot magma may eventually cool down over time and solidify into hard stones, but this process is enough to witness the vicissitudes of life ten thousand times."

Lian Yingxiong, floating above the ancestral hall, once wrote this in his diary.

He watched the young hero Lianxiong cry bitterly and tear his heart, but in the sky above, it seemed that it was difficult for him to feel the grief of the young man at that moment.

Instead, he looked at his mother, who was crying silently, and his grandfather, who was coughing violently from the tobacco, and his heart was firmly grasped by an invisible big hand.

"The dead are gone, and living in the present with love and responsibility that will never fade away is the only way to the sun."

So read the last line of that diary entry.

Since the summer vacation of that year, 15-year-old Lian Yingxiong has been digging coal in wells as a child laborer.Originally, the mines did not dare to recruit child labor, but children without fathers always make the mine owners and mine managers in the village feel sympathetic.

……

This seems to be a very long dream, or more accurately, a long black-and-white picture, the protagonist is the hero himself, and the audience is also the hero himself.

He continued to examine every frame of this dream from the perspective of God.

In the underground, when other workers were taking their lunch break, he never stopped wielding the mining hoe. Others didn't understand why he was so hard. In fact, he just hated those dark ore, which took his father's life, and he chopped them into pieces. Letting them be burned to ashes in the end can fill the heart of a young hero with the thrill of revenge.

He watched "myself" peeking through the crack of the door at midnight at his grandpa suffering from pneumoconiosis, coughing all night long, and when grandpa coughed up blood, the boy outside the door secretly wiped away his tears.

He looked at "myself" and found that his mother was holding a framed photo of a family of three, sitting at the stove, burning firewood, and looking at it in a daze.The red fire light shone on the mother's much older face, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of her mouth.

Lian Yingxiong, who was floating above the kitchen water tank, moved with this smile, and the iceberg in his heart seemed to melt.

……

Suddenly, the black and white picture ended the screening, and what appeared in front of Lian Yingxiong was a vast expanse of yellow sand.

And Lian Hero himself landed on the ground.

The scene changed suddenly, and Lian Hero was a little caught off guard.

He realized he was barefoot.

The hot gravel and fine sand were really scalding against the soles of his feet and got into the gap between his toes.

The thorns that dropped the last leaf, the dry cacti, and the lizards that avoided the rattlesnakes kept the last bit of life in this desert.

The endless sand dunes are quietly connected and spread far away.The sand dunes looked like golden waves, and finally the word "sand sea" appeared in Lian Hero's mind.

Looking around, there is yellow sand all over.

The sky was not dark, but when Lian Yingxiong looked up, he could only see an empty sky, without clouds or sun.

He knew very well that he was dreaming.From the very beginning, he knew that he also knew that the source of this dream was related to touching the purple spinning top.

Even so, he pondered for a while, then chose a direction at random, and began to trek through the desert in his dream.

He was sure that he would not die of thirst in his dream, so he didn't want to stand still, so he just walked around and saw what tricks the dream brought by the purple spinning top could do.

It was too boring to bury his head in walking, so he sang a pop song.

"Two little dolls,

I'm on the phone

Hey Hey hey,
where are you?

hey hey,
I'm in kindergarten..."

High in the sky, a crow dotted the hero far away.Because it was a dream, the latter's singing voice clearly floated into the crow's ears regardless of distance and wind resistance.

acridine...

(...)
Driving on the highway, it is easy to drive tired, because the scenery on the roadside is almost the same.And traveling aimlessly in this boundless desert is more likely to collapse.

Lian Hero insisted on relying on popular songs such as "Little Rabbit, Be Good" and "Two Tigers" to maintain a clear consciousness.

When his lips were chapped, he stretched out his hand and tried to imagine that he was holding a bottle of Farmer's Three Punches in his hand, saying "Farmer's Three Punches is a bit sweet"... Half a quarter of an hour later, a bottle of Farmer's Three Punches actually appeared in his hand Three punch mineral water.

Creation in dreams.

This is God's means.

This discovery made training heroes feel unprecedented fun.So on the next trip, he ate Oreos, seven-layer beef Big Mac burgers, apples...

Although the apple is the kind that was bitten by some wicked person.

He made himself a pair of thick-soled hiking boots, which turned out to be a pair of pull-back flats that he usually wears.

He contemplated a baseball cap, and it turned out to be a battered straw hat that Grandpa used to wear.

The hero who was full of wine and food finally tried to build a sand buggy, but he had never seen the real thing, and after holding it for half an hour, a coal truck came out. The wheels had wheels, but You need someone to push it behind you, right?Finally had to give up cursing.

I don't know how many days I walked, and I don't know how many things were created.

In this desert where there is no sun, no day and night, keep moving forward, keep trying, the visualization time for practicing heroic creation is getting shorter and shorter, and the speed of creation is getting faster and faster.

But practicing heroes is getting more and more exhausting.He noticed that every creation would make him sluggish for a while.The larger and more realistic the object to be made, the more energy is consumed.

If you haven't seen the real thing in reality, you can't make it.

Because of loneliness, Lian Yingxiong wanted to visualize the fat man Ma Shanglai as his companion, but it failed completely.He was keenly aware that living things were very difficult to make.

So he had an idea and tried to visualize an egg, hoping to save the country by "eggs hatching chickens".Once it works, he can dream to create living things.

In the end, Lian Hero had to make another pan and ate a poached egg.

Double yellow.

The eyes of the crows in the sky are almost staring... Is this okay?

In this endless visualization of creation, I don't know how long I walked, the sand in front of me gradually became rough, and the endless sand dunes gradually became lower, and at the end of the field of vision, they gradually turned into flat land. , and sporadic green.

At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from Lian Yingxiong's mind, followed by a woman's Wu Nong whispering.

"Ding……"

"Congratulations on releasing your soul power talent."

"Since your soul power talent rating is SSS, the corresponding 'Dream Clear' ability value is 78."

"Since the purity of your soul is 99%, the corresponding creation efficiency increases by 35%, the corresponding creation success rate increases by 35%, and the corresponding creation soul power consumption is reduced by 35%..."

"Congratulations on reaching the first level of your manifestation skills."

"The current skill level can manifest ordinary items with an accuracy within 1024*768 pixels."

"Except for living things."

"Except for spirit bodies."

"Skill advancement rewards will be sent to the system mailbox, please check."

Lian Hero was stunned.The shortcoming of never reading online articles was exposed at this time.

If it was someone else, I would have known right away that I had obtained a golden finger, and there was no need to time travel or reincarnate, a golden finger would fall from the sky in a dream, such a good thing, why don't you jump up and down, eat a bucket of instant noodles and a sausage right away to celebrate?
When it comes to training heroes, the first thing he thinks of is: This dream is really weird, even the game system has come out.

Didn't I only play Snake?What's going on with this legendary online game system?

At this moment, the pleasant female voice came from my mind again: "Uh, warm reminder, this is not a game. Uh, anyway, maybe you will die."

Practicing heroes is even more confused.Hey beauty, aren't you a system robot?This is obviously a warm reminder that I just suddenly remembered. What's going on?Can you still take the hesitant tone function words like "uh uh ah ah"?Can you rely on some credits?
"Why am I unreliable! You are the robot, and your whole family is a robot!"

The female voice seemed to be able to read the thoughts of the hero, and immediately said another sentence.

Practicing Heroes: ...

Female voice: Don't be dazed, take a look at your sea of ​​consciousness!What a fool, alas!

With the last sigh, Lian Yingxiong was suddenly blocked in his heart.It's quite unreasonable, is it because the female voice is so nice?

After a while, Lian Yingxiong came back to his senses, closed his eyes, and felt the position of the voice in his head.

What is the sea of ​​consciousness?Although this word does sound very self-cultivating, but literally, Lian Hero also knows that this thing should be in his head.

In fact, what Lian Hero doesn't know is that in the online texts, the process of feeling the sea of ​​consciousness is called internal vision.

Soon, the hero Lian showed a strange expression.

It turned out that in his so-called sea of ​​consciousness, there was a spinning top suspended in the pitch-black space, spinning slowly.

It was the purple mans top that I accidentally touched when I was in a hurry.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, hero Lian can't feel his own body, but he can feel that he really exists.This feeling is as if he only has eyes left, which can see, feel, and touch the spinning top in front of him through "ideas".

So I practiced the consciousness of a hero, pretending that I have hands, and touched the spinning top.

The moment the purple mans top was touched by consciousness, a system interface appeared in the void.

It's like a projection that doesn't need a wall to carry it.

Lian Hero was shocked before he could take a closer look at the content of the interface.

Nima, what the hell is the girly pink color on this interface?
