Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 14 Purchasing Materials to Explore Talent

The next day, August 8, it was more than nine in the morning.

Xia Lan looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and was nervous for a moment before she remembered that she had moved, and then she remembered what happened yesterday.

"Hmm~" He stretched, and then realized that something was wrong - there was no pain.

"I'm a mother..." He touched his chest, where only a pale pink scar remained, which looked much softer than the surrounding skin.

Xia Lan tried to press hard on the location of her wound, and when she felt the slightest pain, she was willing to let go, and was slightly relieved.

"If this is healed overnight, then the problem is really serious..."

Because that means the sea monster content in his bloodline is quite high, although this situation also shows that the sea monster content in his bloodline is quite high.

After thinking about it, there was nothing important, so he simply got up and dressed, went to the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and smiled smugly.

The toothbrush and toothpaste flew out of thin air, and then the toothpaste squeezed out a big chunk and landed on the mirror...

Xia Lan grinned, then manipulated the toothbrush to scrape a bit of toothpaste from the mirror, and brushed her teeth leisurely, while the toothpaste on the mirror was slowly peeled off and flew into the trash can.

Even if the toothbrush moved by himself, he simply put his hands on the sink and stared at the mirror for a while.

I don't know how long it took to brush, but the toothbrush fell from his mouth to the faucet, and the faucet turned on naturally, and there were two streams of water, one of which flowed up into his mouth, and the other rinsed the toothbrush.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Then the flames ignited, the faucet was turned on again, and the water swirled in the flames for a few seconds before running onto his face, gently removing the stain.

"It's really lazy." Xia Lan looked at herself and smiled, and then another comb flew out of thin air and arranged his hair for him.

After all, this spell is just the simplest entry-level spell for beginners, without so many detailed operations, he was able to use it so delicately only by virtue of his extraordinary control.

"Let's learn some other useful spells today, let's memorize the words along with the spells." He thought, and the tablet terminal on the bed flew to his side and was taken by him.

After a little research, he figured out the retrieval function of this database, and found some other spells in it that could be used to manipulate objects.

There are three types in total, one is to manipulate specific substances, the other is to simply apply a force field on the surface of an object, and the third is a type that is similar to psychic power.

"Psychic power..." Xia Lan looked at the spell, frowned and pondered for a moment, then clicked on it after thinking about it, looking at the 130 spell nodes in total, and fell into deep thought.

"Try it, the fourth-order spells are more demanding, but according to my current talent development level, there is still a chance." He muttered to himself and began to study.

There are [-] spell nodes in this spell that are general-purpose nodes at the first level, of which he has memorized forty or so; followed by forty general-purpose nodes at second-level and a dozen general-purpose nodes at third-level.

And the last is a dozen or so core spell nodes that belong to special types, and basically only appear in manipulation spells.

Xia Lan dragged her finger on the screen slightly, tried to tap it, and her face was instantly filled with joy - click on the spell node directly above to see the specific effect of that node, with a link to the comment.

"That's more efficient~" He sighed, and then continued to memorize step by step.

Rather than studying, he prefers to call it practice.

Maybe this person who is used to the world of Originium technology will find it difficult to understand, but he was born on Earth and he is really addicted to it.

"No matter how powerful you are in the game, it's fake, haha." He chuckled, then continued to look at the next node.

……

At noon, he rubbed his slightly sore eyes, then stood up and stretched, the coat on the table flew to him in a sluggish manner, unfolded automatically, and he put it on while yawning.

He made a move, and another key and money flew into his pocket.

Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, then counted another [-] Longmen coins and went out freely.

The bright sunlight fell on the tidy streets, as good as his mood, but when he wanted to sigh, he pursed his lips and started not to speak, still being his quiet and beautiful man.

"Life is not easy, please don't feel good." He thought so, recalling a character in a certain work in his previous life who would immediately start to thunder and rain as long as he said the weather was good.

He took the bus to the gate of the guard station, went to the security guard and asked, "Uncle, do you have a police officer named 'Chen Huijie' here?"

The security guard said politely: "Please wait a moment, and I will look over the police roster for you."

Because there are two branches of the Guards Bureau, he is not sure if Chen is here, and it is only the principle of proximity to come here first.

Now Chen is not too famous. It seems that he has not been in the job for too long. Xia Lan does not know much about this aspect.

After a while, the security guard asked: "I found it, are you looking for her now?"

Xia Lan thought about it for a while, but still said, "If she's busy, don't disturb her first, and let me know when she's free. I'll come back when the time comes."

Uncle Security nodded, and then asked him to write down his name and contact information.

Just as he was writing, the sound of the motorcycle came from far to near, and stopped at the gate of the guard station. The dragon girl in the helmet stared at his back for a few seconds, and then took off the helmet in surprise and asked. Said: "Xia Lan, what are you doing here?"

"..." He paused, put down his pen, and said to the uncle security: "The person I'm looking for is here."

He got up and replied, "Uh...I have something I want to find you."

Chen showed a puzzled expression, parked the car and walked over, while Xia Lan quickly explained to her that she had paid her medical bills in advance.

"Just for this?" She asked amusingly after hearing this.

Xia Lan showed an embarrassed expression, but felt that she still had to accept the money, otherwise he would have to remember it for the rest of his life.

In his previous life, he had remembered for several years because he owed others 50 yuan, let alone thousands of yuan now.

So he feigned anger and said, "What is 'this thing'? For me at the time, it was all my property, and I wanted to repay the loan to the extent that I had to pay off the loan."

Chen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he remembered, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

"So take it!" Xia Lan threw the banknotes in front of her and said in a general order.

Chen took his money without knowing whether to laugh or cry, but there was a hint of admiration in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Then thank you for your kindness, I will remember it."

Xia Lan clapped her hands, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well, then there's nothing else to do, you go."

Chen Yan pursed his lips, and spit out a little funny: "Why are you like your boss sending your subordinates, slap your butt and leave after explaining things."

"Well, it's almost the same." Xia Lan shrugged cheekily, and then left a little hurriedly.

Chen looked at the stack of banknotes in his hand, looked at Xia Lan's back, and shook his head with a smile: "What a strange guy, but he's quite loyal."

……

Xia Lan, who walked into the distance, took a deep breath and finally calmed down a bit. Standing at the door of the police station, he was not as calm as he appeared to be. Although he did not do anything, fear is fear, and there is no reason.

This is the case with blood pressure.

After finishing the work at the police station, Xia Lan continued to do the second thing of the day, changing her mobile phone.

His original mobile phone was quite worn out. Although it was still usable, it was not as comfortable as those high-end versions that could perform stereoscopic projection, and it was said that the response speed was not at the same level.

So he swiped [-] Longmen coins to buy the most high-end personal terminal on the market. It is slightly larger than the original mobile phone, and the hand feel is completely different, but it is much more comfortable to use.

He also transplanted the communication method of Ceylon, which was a complete farewell to the original mobile phone.

In addition to these original functions, he also downloaded the latest version of the map software in the store, which can navigate the entire gantry range, and outside the gantry, the entire world map is available.

There are other software that accepts TV signals... Anyway, there are all kinds of them, but in essence, it is just that, no fun.

……

Then came the third thing - exploring the interaction between itself and the infected organism.

When eating charcoal-fired Originium worms with Ceylon and the others before, he had already noticed the interaction between himself and the infected creatures, and he seemed to be able to forcibly absorb the Originium energy in those infected creatures.

So he is going to the vegetable market now, where there is a weakly polluted, infected creature like the rock crab. Like the Originium worm, it has some edible meat inside, and the flavor is similar to the crab in the previous life.

After a while, he got off the bus at the entrance of the vegetable market. He smelled the smell of vegetables, meat, aquatic products, etc. in the air, and felt very cordial.

"This time, I can buy some other ingredients by the way, go home to hone my cooking skills, and then I can grab the girl's stomach and marry Bai Fumei..." He grinned as he thought about it, remembering the protagonists of the anime in his previous life. , one person cooks and several people eat.

This should work really well.

He went straight to the area where various infected creatures were sold, and soon came to an area where Originium energy was very thin.

Originium energy blocks and absorbers can be seen everywhere, making the Originium energy in the air very weak, but lower than in other places.

Xia Lan walked into this area where the flow of people was obviously much lower, and couldn't help but consider whether to buy something else. There are a lot of ingredients that he has never seen before. Originium worms and rock crabs seem to be Two very common.

"Hiss—" He looked at a kind of animal meat that cost 3000 yuan a catty, and fell into deep thought.

……

After a while, he came out with two boxes, which contained a small Originium worm and a small rock crab. There was a temporary Originium blocking agent in the cage, which could last for about five hours.

Then he went to buy a lot of other ingredients, and he didn't give up until he couldn't hold it.

Although he can easily use the fourth-order telekinesis spell to help himself, he has not yet verified it, so he can't use it without a license just because he knows how to use it.

Same as driving a car.

……

After a while, Xia Lan returned home with a dull pain in her chest, and with a bang, she put everything on the floor and wiped the sweat that was secreting from her forehead.

"Huh~" He let out a long breath, and then used magic to stuff these ingredients into the refrigerator, and put the box containing the crabs and Originium worms on the table.

After resting for a while, Xia Lan got up and came to the table, opened the box, looked at the crabs and Originium worms bound with various flowers, and tried to put his hands in.

The Originium energy reaction of infected creatures is basically much stronger than that of humans, but in terms of complexity, it is basically less than one-third that of humans. He can easily see the logic of its operation.

"Then... Hajima Lu." He whispered, and then inserted the power of manipulating the energy of the Originium into the Crab's biological field, trying to strip the energy from it, but keep it functioning normally.

At the same time, he untied its shackles.

Iwaki immediately began to move restlessly, but after a few seconds, it became quite weak, until it fell down weakly again.

Xia Lan stopped affecting it, the Originium energy stripped from its body was not much, but it brought him a familiar freshness.

"...It seems that I have a similar feeling when I absorb the Originium, that is to say, the essence of my talent enhancement is to collect materials, not energy?"

In order to verify this idea, I simply tried it again against the Originium worm, and sure enough, I had a similar feeling.

He thought about it for a while, then took paper and notes to write down the discovery, and then decided to go out again to try other crabs and other animals, and compare them many times.

The biological fields of the same type of wild animals are similar, which is one of the places where they are different from humans.

……

Half an hour later, Xia Lan returned home with a large bag of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and confirmed his thoughts. It seemed that the truth was exactly what he thought. compensation".

"It seems that different materials will be collected in the future, but it is unclear whether there will be super rare materials, the kind that cannot be obtained from ordinary environments." He wrote this conclusion in a small notebook.

If there is, he estimates that he will try to find the special god fragments of Nian, but in addition to the issue of negotiation, it is also a problem to analyze them. He has to analyze the target to obtain "material" from it.

"I just don't know if we will be slapped into ashes..." He shook his head helplessly, and put the idea aside for the time being.

After researching this matter, Xia Lan continued to memorize the words, thinking about what to do next.

He is no longer worried about conventional force, and now it is necessary to find props that can save lives, such as the kind of shield that can be activated automatically. According to the Internet, there seems to be such a store in Longmen, but it seems to be out of stock now. He wants to buy it. If so, you'll have to wait quite a while.

"So...it's better to find a blueprint and make it yourself." He said thoughtfully, and quickly flipped through his spell library. After a few moments, he found a spell with a corresponding defensive effect. According to the speed of a madman, He is working hard for a month to be able to make it independently.

But there is no way to directly use the ready-made to be comfortable.

……

dinner.

Xia Lan was frying the fried meat in the pot a little sluggishly. From time to time, a piece of meat would fly up. After being cooled by the airflow generated by the void, it flew to his mouth and let him take a bite.

But it is clear that it is still immature.

"Would you like to buy an air fryer or something, that thing can still be timed." He muttered to himself with some difficulty, and continued to stir fry the meat in the pot.

"Hey..." Suddenly, he took a breath, let go of the spatula, and let it fly to the side.

But it didn't just fall to the ground, it hung in mid-air and finally flew into the sink.

"I have fully understood stir-frying!" he said, the vegetables in the pot tumbled automatically, and even the movement of the flame became gentle.

"what!"

……

For a moment, Xia Lan was carrying a full load of rice, with a bitter expression on her face, between the hard slices of meat and the soft leaves of vegetables, and she took a big mouthful of rice after one bite.

"It's okay, try harder next time!" He encouraged himself.

In the end, he found a big bowl, boiled the rice with water, and then mixed the stir-fried vegetables, and ate the worst meal in the world.

Why was the seven-footed man teary-eyed, but the meal on the plate was salty and old.

"I already fully understand the heat!"

That night, Xia Lan picked a powerful perception spell, the one that seemed to help with cooking, and learned it late into the night.

……

In the middle of the night, when he was washing, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and closing next door. It should be the owner of the house who came back, which made him curious.

Judging from what I saw and heard during this period, that family should also be a person living alone, suspected of having a special identity, working until late at night every day, and even sometimes not returning home at night.

"Hey - pay attention when you hang clothes tomorrow to see if it's a man or a woman." He muttered to himself, showing a "strange" expression.

The balconies of the two households are not separated vertically, and the situation on the opposite side can be seen very easily.

"It's better to be a beautiful girl...hehe." He chuckled lightly as he lay down on the bed, looking forward to it. After all, it is human nature to love beauty.
