Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 5 Exploring the Path and Finding the Way to Practice the Dharma

"What's the situation... I have a desire for Originium itself?" Xia Lan looked at the Originium in the window and said to herself doubtfully.

His body, his subconscious, seemed to be telling him that he wanted to "eat" those Originiums.

"It seems that my so-called talent is not that simple..." He sighed and couldn't help but guess the reason for this situation.

According to the information found on the Internet, normal human beings will not have any desire for Originium, because it is just a stone full of energy, and Originium is still harmful to the human body, and the human subconscious will urge people to stay away from Originium. .

"Is this the golden finger, or is it a talent of its own, or is it just a 'mistake'?" Xia Lan thought, but he was still hesitant to try it, because if it was wrong, he would definitely be infected by the Originium , in a bad situation.

If it was before realizing that he had a "gold finger", he would definitely refuse this attempt, but now... he has become dependent on the golden finger, and the subconscious tells him what to do, and he will try to do it.

This is losing his ability to choose, but he has not realized it yet.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Xia Lan finally decided to try to absorb the source stone, turned her head to look at the door of the store, and then saw the line of "enter with a magician's certificate" again, and her face became bitter.

"..." He was silent for a moment, then left regardless of his subconscious desire.

Walking on the road, Xia Lan looked at the pedestrians around and compared the strength of the bio-energy field between them, but she couldn't help but think of what happened just now - absorbing Originium might become stronger.

This possibility has always been in his mind, causing his thoughts to become chaotic.

Finally, when passing by the entrance of a dungeon, he couldn't help but scolded: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, and it's over!"

Passers-by cast strange glances at him.

Realizing her happy behavior, Xia Lan's face flushed, and she sped up to leave the place. She went directly to the elevator shaft and pressed the button to go to the underground city on the first floor.

The Longmen Core City vaguely calculates that there are a total of two layers of dungeons, and below it is a large industrial area and a mobile city power area, which is inaccessible to ordinary people.

His goal is naturally the urban areas where people live, and he plans to go to those places to find out if there are people who smuggle Originium. Even a little Originium is enough.

……

In the underground city, there are buildings connected up and down. In some places, the space is only the size of a passage for one person, while in some places, there are buildings with five or six floors, and the roads can also be used directly for driving.

The top of the head is basically an artificial light source, which is not dim, and although the air in most places is slightly dull, there are still many places that are relatively fresh.

There are various architectural styles, but it seems to be a bit more cluttered than on the ground.

……

For a moment, walking in the commercial district of the underground city, Xia Lan looked at the surrounding pedestrians and shops. The most obvious difference from the ground was that people seemed to be more weathered, and those shops were not so bright.

He could casually see some passersby with Originium equipment in their clothes, and from what he felt, those things didn't seem to be as simple as mobile phones and watches.

"Gun?" This was the only thought he had when he saw a man in black with a suitcase. There was a long Originium weapon in the box, and a dozen or so emanations were lined up beside it. A bullet-shaped object that reacts strongly with Originium.

The other party glanced at Xia Lan who was looking at his bag, shook his head gently at him, and made a "silence" gesture.

Xia Lan suddenly panicked, and nodded quickly, her heart almost jumping out of fear.

The other party disappeared into the crowd, did nothing, and walked quietly towards the place where he wanted to perform the task.

He was just an ordinary killer passing by and met an interesting ordinary citizen.

Watching the other party leave, Xia Lan still looked over there in a panic. After a long time, she walked to a bench on the side of the road and sat down, trying to play down the surging fear in her heart.

Although most passersby would pay attention to him because of his appearance, none of them would come up and try to touch him, because the look on his face seemed to be in trouble, and they didn't want to get on fire.

"Curiosity really will...kill the cat." He thought while covering his face.

For a moment, Xia Lan, who was holding a bag of barbecue, continued to stroll around, trying her best not to worry about that matter - people would definitely not care about her, she was just a poor ant.

……

He basically walked around this small commercial district, but unfortunately he did not find any place with a high concentration of Originium energy. It seems that even if there are similar trading activities, it will not happen around here, after all is illegal activity.

"Hey—" He suddenly looked at the "source distribution box" on the side of the road, and fell into deep thought. The energy of the transformed Originium is flowing in it, and the nature is special. I don't know if he can absorb it. .

If it is possible, then naturally there is no need to worry anymore, as long as it is necessary to steal the source stone energy, if not, he can only absorb the source stone.

Thinking like this, he then followed an energy line to an alley, ready to steal.

"Hush-huh~" He took a deep breath, then put his hand on the pile of wires, and began to perceive the energy in it.

He reached a synergy with those naturally flowing energies within a few seconds, and his vision seemed to spread hundreds of meters among them all at once, seeing many ends.

"Then, let's start." He whispered, trying to extract the source energy from it little by little and introduce it into his body.

It seems to be as smooth as picking up a water glass to drink water, he absorbed a lot of energy in an instant, it flowed into his body, and after some indescribable change, it turned into a warm current, floating in the his whole body.

"Hmm~" He couldn't help groaning, and subconsciously looked around with a guilty conscience, and then put his hand down reluctantly.

Although it only took ten seconds just now, he already had a faint sense of "fullness", and it seemed that the amount absorbed could already meet the current upper limit.

However... he didn't feel any obvious increase in his ability to manipulate energy, and was immediately disappointed.

[Incorrect material, correct energy, correction rate increased by 0.1%]

"Hey, it seems that I have to try the authentic Origin Stone again. Either try my luck, or try to become a first-order magician and buy it in a regular store." Xia Lan sighed regretfully, and then continued. left this alley.

There is still plenty of time, Xia Lan intends to try her luck again and walk towards a place with fewer pedestrians, which is already a little arrogant.

He walked past residential areas, past the doors of certain warehouses, and walked down paths that seemed to be seldom passed, but found nothing.

"It seems that I have to go back the same way..." He sighed, it seems that today is not the beginning of the goal, the only gain is that he can absorb Originium energy without injury, and it can be transformed. Might be useful in the future.

On his way back, he suddenly saw a guy who was bright like a fluorescent lamp, definitely brighter than everyone he had seen before!
Xia Lan was stunned for a few seconds, and then hesitated whether to go over. Judging from this brightness, it seems that the person has a very, very powerful Originium skill, and can even have a "fifth-order" level?

There are five levels of magicians, and the fifth-order is naturally the pinnacle of the world. It is said that some of the top fifth-order magicians can destroy a city with their own power after sufficient preparation.

And there are even various forms. According to several cases he found:
Create a mental contagion (the Yan Kingdom calls it a demon invasion), simply bombard the ground with coverage, change the geology on a large scale to cause the collapse of urban groups, detonate volcanoes (it only takes half a day from preheating to detonation), and destroy mobile cities from the bottom The structure...etc.

These are all appalling indiscriminate massacres in history, and these are also part of the preface written in the magician's tutorial. There may be revenge, or there may be disease, but those sinners are basically killed after the event.

But in this era, due to the gradual improvement of the Originium skill training system, there are more than 3000 certified fifth-level magicians in the world, and even if the uncertified ones are counted, it will not exceed 1.

But because of the development of modern technology and magic, the fifth-order magicians are no longer unstoppable in that era, and now they are only "almost" unstoppable.

……

So Xia Lan is considering whether to go over and see who it is. If the other party is doing something shameful, he may send it.

"Just take a look..." He finally couldn't hold back the thought in his heart and walked over there.

1 minute later.

Xia Lan came to a spacious open park, which seemed to function as a cultivation room, and the air smelled quite fresh.

There are many other people here besides him. Some of them are simply using the equipment in the park to exercise their bodies, while others are sitting and chatting to relax. This scene can make Xia Lan, who is about to encounter a difficult begging for mercy. Eye-popping.

"This...it can't be the old man doing the morning exercise, even though it's already afternoon." Xia Lan muttered to himself with a dark face, walking towards the light source in the source's field of vision. Sure enough, after passing through the greenery, Arrived at an old Zalak (rat).

He was tossing on the horizontal bar. Although he was a bit old-fashioned, his muscles were not empty. It looked like he could beat Xia Lan to death with a single punch.

"It turns out to be the Rat King, that's no wonder..." He sighed in his heart, looked at it again, and then left, strolling around in this green grassy park, making his own dick taut. All the way, the little heart relaxed a bit.

When he thinks about it, he is a little scared. He has a mentality of "seeking opportunities". He is obviously going to die blindly.

"Next time, you must be more cautious. Even if you become stronger, you must be cautious. Curiosity will kill the cat!" Xia Lan decided.

However, the so-called experience does not mean that determination can be increased.

He is not a god and cannot directly progress due to the awakening of his mind.

……

By the time Xia Lan returned to his nest, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Although he didn't gain much, at least he gained some insight.

"Although I don't know what it is useful for, I can try to steal electricity in the future." He wrote this down in a small notebook, and then tried to analyze other things.

A known:

1. I awakened the Originium Skill after being in a coma. The effect of using it is low. It is suspected of being a golden finger, showing some possibility of "evolution", but there is currently no means of trying.

2. Possess a certain ability to predict and react to danger in a few seconds, with a high probability of being a golden finger.

3. The process of memory fusion remains to be studied;
4. I saw a blurry image when I crossed, and I have lost my impression, but it must contain clues.

5. Dreams, sea of ​​blood, golden light, there should be corresponding things behind these images.

6.…

It lists a lot of things that happened to him after he came to this world. They are fragmented and seem to be waiting for him to unravel the mystery.

Xia Lan is not a fool. There were so many transmigrators who were used as spearmen in the animations and novels of the previous life. Some of those people even lost everything in the end, and completely turned into nutrients for the mastermind behind the scenes.

He doesn't think that the power given to him is his own power. He must do things to decipher the conspiracy, find out the truth, and gain freedom.

Otherwise... he would rather not look for her, and would rather give up the love that he desperately longed for in his past and present life.

He spent more than an hour thinking about many possibilities, and also listed many solutions, such as finding gods to help him, exploring the mysteries of spells and souls, etc., but they were all too far away.

"Oh, by the way..." Halfway through his thoughts, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was the kind of advertisement he saw on the telephone pole that he saw on the way back.

And what was written on this advertisement turned out to be "Original Stone Skills Learning Class", and it only cost [-] Dragon Gate coins to buy an introductory spell tutorial and a week-long course, one hour a day.

Obviously, this is an underground black study class, and I don't know what black organization is running it.

He took out his mobile phone and reported his name on the Internet, of course using a pseudonym. The system on this was very sloppy, and he could tell at a glance that he might be a liar.

But he didn't panic, because they would deliver the Originium Skills tutorial to his door the next day, and it was even free. If he was satisfied after taking it, he could sign up for that class again, or even show up at the end. Pay the fee.

Very conscientious, more reasonable than the many liars in his previous life who remit money after a word of disagreement.

Xia Lan even filled in the delivery address of the neighborhood next to him, so it should be safer. When the goods arrive, I will see if I want to go.

"I hope it will be the real thing by then. You can try to learn by yourself first..."

He even got a little excited when he thought about it, and it took him a long time to calm down and prepare to go out to exercise.

Since there is nothing to do now, it is natural to have to exercise at leisure, otherwise, if you encounter a crisis in the future and cannot avoid it, it will be really terrible.

……

After exercising, resting, and then having dinner and taking a bath, Xia Lan went shopping on the street. Let's relax by watching the fireworks in the world. It is a good thing to combine work and rest.

He looked at the beast-eared girls all over the street, and suddenly realized that he hadn't played games for a long time. He was so addicted in his previous life, but now he doesn't care about games at all.

After all... In his eyes now, the reality is much better than the game. The beautiful girls with cat ears, dog ears, and rabbit ears can be seen everywhere, although many are accompanied by people, but he still feels quite satisfied when he sees them.

The average face value of this world is much higher than that of the earth, and it has some two-dimensional features, so there are very few very ugly people, it is simply a perfect dream land in the legend.

He recalled some of the attention paid to the plot in his previous life. Among them, he conjectured that the people in this world are all human beings who have been adjusted, so the good looks will probably be part of the adjustment... right?

Xia Lan thought in a trance, and suddenly noticed the glances passers-by occasionally cast at her, and then she suddenly realized that she was a handsome guy in this life? !
He couldn't help but smugly curled the corners of his mouth, smiling reservedly but unbearably happy - this is really wonderful.

"I don't know what I look like in the eyes of passers-by? I don't have to care, it has nothing to do with me anyway, and handsome, no sister will come to me for a social software account." He thought, and he didn't have much restraint. class idea.

……

"However, walking alone on this earth is indeed a bit lonely."

"It's lonely to be lonely. Which traveler is not lonely? This is a necessary training."

"Hone your ass, it's called recharging your energy!"

"Indeed, it is indeed worth my energy to recharge and prepare for the charge."
