my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 137 Space Gravity Tide

In the ruined city [Rena], today is another quiet and peaceful day. This is not a joke.

This flat city, which covers a huge area, will always minimize disturbances. All disputes here will be avoided as much as possible, at least not magnified.

If the commotion is too violent, there is a place in a corner of the North City dedicated to solving the problem.

Here, no one dares to influence everyone to make a fortune, and no one will speak harshly to newcomers - they like to do it directly.

This is one of the most livable places on this war planet. Of course, you need money to live comfortably here.

Aqua Regia placed the steaming cup on the windowsill, put his hands into his coat pockets, chewed the fragrant amber walnuts, and enjoyed his last day here.

In the metallic green military cup was an energy drink he had prepared himself - cocoa, coffee, tea powder, milk, and brown sugar. The mixture of these ingredients from extraordinary creatures had a subtle and interesting taste.

He likes the rich aroma, pleasant sweetness, and slight bitterness.

This extremely high-energy and quite refreshing drink can help him keep his body and soul awake. Aqua Regia needs this sobriety, because now, as long as he relaxes his mind for a moment, his body and soul will fall into continuous torment. crack.

This negative state is naturally due to the fact that he inexplicably realized the threshold of the third level more than ten hours ago, and his personal attributes cannot withstand the pressure of such sublimation.

At that time, Wang Guo decisively cut off the process of advancing to the third level, and he was not harmed immediately afterwards.

But just ten hours ago, Shui Wang's body and soul began to automatically upgrade, which forced him to use all his energy to stop it.

Sylvia is not very familiar with this situation, and even she has rarely seen her upgraded transcendent.

Fortunately, this is the main world, there is a dream network, and netizens always have good ideas.

This situation of aqua regia is relatively rare, but the discussion thread is still very popular. According to various extraordinary people who have experienced it personally, as long as they seal or suppress their own power, they can effectively prevent this kind of loss of control.

Wang Shui immediately placed an order with the [Silver Bullet Detective Agency]. They were the group of guys with the most extensive resources and connections among the locals Wang Shui knew.

As long as you have money, it is much more efficient to go to them directly than to visit the black market.

The boss of [Silver Bullet], Mag, is a ruthless man with great hands and eyes. He quickly helped Wang Shui order a batch of Class A contraband.

But it is more troublesome to deliver. The chain of interests is very long and strict, and aqua regia must wait.

Therefore, Aqua Regia prepared a strange refreshing drink to drink first.

However, the amber walnuts in Aqua Regia's pocket were snatched from a fat man named Al in [Silver Bullet]. Aqua Regia bought a lot of materials from Silver Bullet, so he snatched them without any courtesy.

I have to say that the amber walnuts made by Fatty Al are really strong!

The current situation cannot be said to be good or bad.

Tonight, Wang Shui will board the transport ship, but now he can't even go to the nearest port city - he doesn't dare to use long-distance teleportation.

hum-

A slight reminder sounded in Wang Shui's ears. He glanced at the message, then took his right hand out of his jacket pocket and picked up the cup.

The next moment, Wang Shui's body was like a digital image that had lost its signal, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Wang Shui has been transported to the warehouse on the underground floor, and he can still bear this short-distance displacement.

Here, Sylvia and several sisters were waiting for him. On the metal experimental table next to them, there was a box that he needed to open.

Sylvia noticed the arrival of aqua regia, she turned back and asked:

"The stuff has arrived. Are you sure it's useful? It's not too late to ask Nephrite and Zhanfeng to take you to the port. We can also protect you at the [Real Front]."

Wang Shui walked to the experimental table with a smile and placed the cup on it. He unlocked the express delivery and said:

"Don't worry, whether it's a [limiter] or a real-world mission, I'm more than 90% sure.

It’s just a [Real Frontline], many zero-level awakened newcomers can get through, so you don’t have to worry so much.

Wow, a genuine [Desbitt Alloy], a whole kilogram, [Silver Bullet] people really have something. "

Wang Shui weighed the black metal ingots in his hand. In addition to lamenting the integrity of the firm's management, he also felt sorry for the expense.

This piece of spiritually shielding metal, which in his perception was like a black hole, cost him a full 65 dream points, which was more than the annual rent of their office building.

In fact, you won’t need so much aqua regia at all, but it is difficult to transport this type of contraband. It takes at least one kilogram to transport it at a time.

At this time, the young wolf "Yue" asked:

"Do you need us to help you make it? You shouldn't be able to use alchemy right now, right?"

Wang Shui did not show off.

"I really need your help. I have sent the design plan to "Luo", and she should have prepared other materials. "

With that said, Wang Shui handed [Desbitt Alloy] to "Yue", and the latter immediately left the underground level.

Then, Wang Shui looked at the other sisters, then smiled and said:

"The things have been delivered. Please help me prepare my luggage as planned. Thank you very much~"

The sisters here actually want to protect Shui Wang together. They don't want to go out and play with Shui Wang. After all, Shui Wang himself is not there to play.

They were very concerned about Wang Shui, but they respected Wang Shui's ideas even more.

After everyone left, Sylvia walked over quietly. She stretched out her right hand and grabbed Wang Shui's left arm.

Wang Shui smiled helplessly, could only pick up his cup, and teleported Sylvia back to the study.

The little hint of grabbing the left arm is a habit that the two of them have accumulated a long time ago. It means that they need to find a quiet place to talk alone.

Arriving at the study room dedicated to Wang Shui, the two sat down in front of the fireplace. Sylvia said directly:

"You are a little too optimistic about the [Real Front]. Although there are many low-level awakened people in those so-called "fronts", the danger there has nothing to do with level.

The more powerful you are, the more difficult and dangerous the missions will be.

The system never skimps on rewards, but the mortality rate of more than 70% on the front line is no joke.

You are different from ordinary awakened people. You don’t need those rewards. All you need is to complete the task quota quickly and get out of there quickly, so I still suggest you bring a few sisters with you. "

Wang Shui took a sip of the drink and replied helplessly:

"Actually, I'm not trying to be brave. I regard myself as a summoner from the bottom of my heart. If I can ask everyone to help me be lazy, I won't be polite.

Alas, five hours ago, the system notified me that the front line I was going to was Dorino, a super city located on the habitable planet [Utusi P5].

And I was so stubborn that I used the channels of the [Russell Family] to obtain information about that planet, and the result..."

Sylvia immediately understood what Aqua Regia meant.

"As a result, the Russell family found you? Wanted you to do something for them?"

"Actually...it doesn't count..."

Wang Shui didn't know how to express it.

“It wasn’t what they asked me to do, but my former valet, Witte, who provided me with a channel to get investment.

As long as I use my identity as [Benjamin M. Russell] and obtain certification as a scholar recognized by various civilizations, I can increase the amount of research funds I can apply for. "How much higher?" "

"The A-level scholar certification for each research direction is fifty million standard coins (universal standard points), with an upper limit of one billion."

Wang Shui's words really stunned Sylvia.

When she was running the fifth-level hunting group before, the hunting group's liquidity was often calculated in hundreds of millions, but that was the entire team's funds.

When she spent money on herself, she never spent money on the order of "tens of millions."

As a small second-level lone wolf, Wang Shui had previously embraced the [Russell Family] and obtained a start-up capital of 20 million, which had already surprised Sylvia.

Now he actually has access to hundreds of millions of investments...

Hiss - Even if you just spend money, you can create a good force, right?

Seeing Sylvia lost in thought, Wang Shui continued to add helplessly:

"I have no reason to give up this fund, so I have to stay there for a long time. This time may be calculated in "years".

Witte has already helped me get my student status. I need to complete basic credit hours at the highest comprehensive college in Dulin before I can apply for scholar certification.

Therefore, I do not need to actively complete system tasks in a short period of time. "

"No," Sylvia interrupted, "You still need to complete tasks. If you are inactive for a long time, the system will transfer you to the front line with a higher mortality rate and increase the penalty for mission failure."

"Then do the minimum tasks. I'm familiar with this... Ha, actually, you don't have to worry too much. For me, this is just a slow educational journey. There is really no need to drag everyone into jail with me.

However, if anyone is tired of staying on this war planet and wants to experience a normal civilized society, all he has to do is come to me. "

In fact, Wang Shui didn't want to hide it. He just had a physical condition that hindered his thinking and made it inconvenient to organize words.

After all, he had only just confirmed the matter of being certified as a scholar.

In the end, Sylvia agreed with Aqua Regia's idea, but she still added:

“[Real Frontline] has a higher death rate than War Planet, mainly because the environment there is too complex. In a relatively depressive social environment, many enemies are difficult to encounter on conventional battlefields.

That kind of super city is rich in high-level extraordinary criminals, relatives of supernatural gods, and various cults.

The local high-level elites in the city are also competing against each other.

And the awakened people stationed on the front line are a group of manic patients with extreme thinking, and they don't like each other very much.

Therefore, I suggest that you leave the team immediately after landing and live with a different identity.

When you have to do system tasks, you should try to act alone, hide your identity, and call us if you need help. "

After that, Sylvia talked about many details in detail. Although there are many guides about [Real Frontline] on the Internet, as an awakened person who has actually been active on the frontline, Sylvia has many opinions of her own.

There was a lot of content, but Wang Shui did not feel impatient. He listened carefully and patiently, and even recorded some details from time to time.

Time passed quietly.

……

……

A medium-sized conventional transport ship painted in gray and black quietly left the spaceport of the planet [Goff].

After the ship gradually enters regular flight, there is no longer day and night in the general sense. At least for Aqua Regia, turning off most lighting facilities does not count as night.

Unlike the last time I participated in the alchemy exhibition, this time Aqua Regia did not have the treatment of a single-family villa.

The system only allocated him a single room of about six square meters. There was only a bare iron bed welded to the wall.

If he wasn't able to move around freely, Wang Shui would really think he was in jail.

This transport ship is just an ordinary cargo ship in the interstellar caravan of the Dream System. It is not a specialized passenger ship, so it does not have a special passenger cabin.

The room that Wang Shui was assigned was the lowest level sailor's lounge. Fortunately, the system did not want to torture him and did not arrange a roommate for him.

This voyage was particularly boring. There was no special space window on the transport ship, so after aqua regia turned around, he did not see the clear starry sky again.

However, this trip is not in vain.

Relying on his strong social skills and just the right little gifts, Wang Shui quickly became familiar with the sailors and successfully obtained some unimportant information.

The good news is that the next stop of the caravan is the planet [Jutus].

The bad news is that a huge [space gravitational tide] broke out in the seemingly quiet starry sky outside.

The caravan commander is discussing with the think tank whether they should plunge headlong into this space carnival.

If they join, they will either save about 80% of space flight time.

Otherwise, they will be thrown far away by the gravitational tide, and they may even be thrown into an area without a star map, where it would be quite difficult to climb out.

The entire caravan just waited outside the tide for twenty or thirty hours.

During this period of time, the accompanying caravan think tank has been observing and deducing the laws of [space gravitational tides].

Finally, more than fifty ships of various types in the caravan were suddenly connected together at a certain point in time, and Wang Shui could even feel the spatial structure connecting the ships - a giant egg.

Then, this "big egg" plunged into the space tide.

For all sailors and their superiors, the transport ship in the space tide is just a little bumpy, and it does not even affect their lives.

But for Wang Shui, each of the high-speed spatial currents passing by outside could easily tear apart the entire fleet.

Wang Shui, who had limited experience, could only lament the commander's skill and boldness.

He first forced himself to stay in the room and meditate, trying to control himself and not to observe the outside space.

But after a while, Shui Wang's nerves became numb, and he directly amplified his perception to observe the outside situation to obtain spatial information.

The voyage in [Space Gravity Tide] lasted for a full three hours. At least in terms of aqua regia, it was indeed three standard hours.

The moment the transport ship stabilized, Wang Shui immediately observed the spatial structure of the entire fleet - there was no ship left behind!

It turns out that the system’s technology tree has developed to this extent...

This successful "shortcut" shortened Wang Shui's somewhat torturous interstellar journey.

Twelve days after entering standard space navigation status again, Aqua Regia was finally able to disembark.

After a period of not very strict inspection and sterilization, Aqua Regia took a [high-speed air-ground barge] and came to the surface of the planet.

The livable planet [Yutus], the super city [Dulin], has an unknown guy.
