Alien Paradise.

Chapter 5
Chaoyang tried to respond to these wishes, but just as he made a move, he felt a cold peep from the other end—it was an erosion of consciousness, and it was overwhelmingly powerful.

Even if he withdrew faster, the whole process took less than a second, his consciousness was still quite traumatized.For a few minutes, he felt like he was falling into an ice bank, his body was shaking constantly, and he could hardly think about any problems.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of the difference between this place and the original world.

Chaoyang now understands that the beam of light piercing the sky means that the object of the prayer has already been determined, and only the faint astigmatism that stops halfway has the opportunity for him to take advantage of it—for example, the young man from the city guard of Brilliant Fortress Captain, Stone Bradley.

Shi Dong's appeal is very simple, that is to save his sister, whether it is money, medicinal materials, or a doctor... Probably because of his urgent medical treatment, the other party did not choose a specific prayer object, in other words, As long as someone can help him, no matter who he is, he will accept it.It was this attitude that gave Chaoyang the opportunity to sneak in.

This person's living soul is not strong, but for him who has been hungry for a long time, it is definitely a handful of sweet nectar.

"Okay, it's time to calculate the income and expenditure..." Chaoyang took out a notebook and wrote and drew himself, "The vow power collected in this contract is about [-]... Open the border to about [-], a body Half a day is almost fifty virtual images, four is two hundred... By the way, there are also the cost of the ship and the preparation required..."

If there is any benefit to the experience of starving to death a while ago, it is that when resources were extremely scarce, Chaoyang clearly felt the process of his own weakening, and was forced to learn how to split his strength into two halves. .This allows him to accurately measure the amount of willpower in his body and mark it with numbers.

For example, after he sets the amount needed to maintain life for one hour as one, all other consumption can be calculated based on this basic value.

After subtracting all expenses, the last number left on the notebook is 220 ones.

This means that the remaining power of his wish can still be used for nine days of full life, which is a little less than he imagined.

Seeing this result, most of the joy in Chaoyang's heart disappeared immediately.

"Is there any mistake? This is a contract about human life. Why is there such a little feedback?" He couldn't help muttering. After working so much to live for nine more days, it's no wonder the demons will be extinct!

Generally speaking, the amount of willingness to give back depends on the individual strength of the petitioner and the specific content of the contract.Once the contract is reached, the promisee will also be restricted. If he fails to fulfill it in the end, he will be backlashed by the contract and lose several times the power of his will.

If this is a job, then absolutely no dog will do it, but unfortunately he can't quit.

There was no other way but to continue looking for the next contract partner—and it had to be fast.

Chaoyang planned to go around the city first to try his luck.

……

Brilliant Fort is a coastal city, with vast beaches to the south and west, and an industrial area to the east, with thick black smoke rising all day long.Apart from these, Chaoyang doesn't know much more than the game participants - after all, he has only just arrived here for a few days, and immediately after discovering the life-saving straw of the other world, he immediately planned the activities of the park, and there is no extra time to understand The city itself, not to mention the area outside Splendid Fort.

So every time he walks on the street, he will have a new feeling.

The streets here are all paved with blue bricks, and the hidden drains under the road surface can be seen on both sides, which shows that the importance of drainage has been taken into consideration in urban planning.In some parts of the new city, the streets are also inlaid with steel tracks for the trams to shuttle between.

It can be seen that these passenger vehicles are all powered by steam, leaving a long white fog cloud every time they cross the street.But the strange thing is that they don't have huge steam locomotives, and they are quite flexible in stopping and starting, which is far from the steam trains in Chaoyang's memory.

However, the main means of transportation on the street are horse-drawn carriages and people.

Whether it is a carriage carrying goods or a driver pulling people, they are all staggered and moved among the crowd-there are no traffic rules here, and pedestrians will not receive any special care.Most of the time, the coachman has to rely on his voice to remind the passers-by that it is common to be scratched by the carriage. Everything seems so chaotic, but it is also full of vitality.

Judging from the widespread use of steam power, Chaoyang judged that the technical level of Brilliant Fort was about the same as that of Earth in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, what puzzled him was that he was still unable to find any elements related to electricity in the city.According to the history of the earth's development, at this stage, electrical facilities should have appeared sporadically, such as small gadgets such as light bulbs.

Not only that, Chaoyang also tried to create some small objects with batteries, but all failed without exception.

Since he didn't have much willingness at hand, he couldn't conduct more experiments, so he could only suppress this doubt in his heart for the time being.

After all, it is very dangerous to regard this world as the earth.

—— Chaoyang raised his head and glanced at the beams of light, then quickly looked away.

Even if you look at it for a little longer, it may attract the attention of certain existences.

For the source of these vows, the vow itself is a taboo that absolutely cannot be touched by others.Once he realizes that there is a cross-border behavior, there is absolutely no way to deal with it with his current ability.

This is also the main reason why Chaoyang never forgets to hide his identity.

... It took almost three or four hours to wander the streets, but this time he was a little bit unlucky, and couldn't meet a petitioner like Stone again.Even if there are a few people with wish power surging on their heads, it is basically not worth mentioning in terms of weight.Even without further questioning, he could guess what these wishes might be.For example, if he wants to make a fortune, or find a wife, even if he can satisfy this wish, in the end, he will definitely be unable to make ends meet.

"Sir, sir, do you buy a newspaper?"

Suddenly a slightly childish voice said.

Chaoyang turned his head and found a newspaper boy looking at him eagerly.He didn't look like an adult, his height was 1.3 meters four at most, his hands and feet were slender and thin, but the newspaper in his arms was thicker than his body.

"Here's the Daily Post, the Herald, and the Brothers Jedi, sir. Would you like to see them? They're only two cents each."

Newspapers are good things, but he has no time to read them.

At least not yet.

When Chaoyang was about to reject the newsboy, suddenly a glimmer of wish power caught in the corner of his eyes.

It showed a faint white color, which was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye. If the distance was not close enough, it was almost impossible for him to notice the existence of this brilliance.

Not to mention the kind of prayer that points directly to the sky, it is almost as long as a thumb, like a candle flickering in the wind, if you don't pay attention, it will be blown out by the wind.

The light comes from the lower right corner of the newspaper.

Make a wish with something?

Chaoyang's heart twitched a little... The power of wish is not like a fixed indicator that hangs on the head of anyone who needs it.It fluctuates and changes with the behavior and status of the prayer. For example, the pillar of light is the most eye-catching when praying intently, and the pillar of light will become dim when the prayer is not so urgent.Similarly, when a wisher makes a utensil with great desire, it is also possible to freeze part of the wish on the item.Those precious treasures with souls passed down in ancient times are not aimless, but after the producer passes away, these wishes will also become water without a source, and dissipate little by little over time.In his time, only in museums can we find any traces of the power of will.
