my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 86 Gifts from the Stars

Extraordinary people also need rest, or they need rest more than ordinary people.

The developed body and soul will inadvertently consume a lot of energy. The more experienced the transcendent is, the better at condensing strength and resting.

Whether it is sleep or deep meditation, it not only allows the body to rest, but also allows the soul to recover.

But on the first night on the luxury ship, Aoi didn't fall asleep.

He leaned on the sofa and looked out the window at the simulated false sky. On the table at hand was an ugly pipe and several compressed tobacco cakes.

He was not smoking, he just followed Sylvia's advice and began to prepare some less brutal self-defense methods to pass the time.

The super city [Triad] under the management of advanced civilization is completely different from the high-tech and low-quality battlefield city under system control.

Sylvia advised Wang Shui not to kill people casually, as it would be quite troublesome to deal with it later.

Wang Shui expressed disdain for this. He never thought that he was a murderous person, and then put away the Philosopher's Stone and those special bullets.

After struggling for a while, Shui Wang was still not sleepy. He even said that the long journey made him a little tired, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

Switching the world outside the window to a rainy night, the moist and cold rain mixed with the fragrance of earth poured into the villa from the air circulation system, making the aqua regia calm a lot.

Sylvia only stayed for about half an hour, and she has been quite busy at work recently. .

The bored Aqua Regia, after browsing the Internet for a while about the description of the planet [Triad], or that super city, then started reading professional books on botany.

It's a pity that complex professional knowledge can no longer make him sleepy like he did when he was a teenager. Fortunately, these contents are not boring.

Outside, the rain kept falling.

……

……

The next day came quietly in the rain.

In the restaurant area of ​​the small villa, Aqua Regia and the gel artificial man enjoyed the free meals delivered by the structure's mechanical butler.

"These free meals cost 300 yuan in the ruined city."

Wang Shui was trying to strike up a conversation, but unfortunately, today's sister was more concerned about the delicious food on the table.

"Ah."

My sister answered in the affirmative, and then swallowed the duck fat roasted potatoes seasoned with caviar in one bite. During the slow chewing, the rich oil aroma spread evenly, and the greasiness was reduced by the appropriate salty and umami flavor.

If that’s not enough, we also need to pair it with a bit of sweet and sour wine to relieve the tiredness.

Inexpensive food that is satisfying due to its exquisite taste configuration.

The sister who enjoys delicious food is named [Nephrite]. She is one of the ones who awakened to self-awareness late, and she is also a very special sister.

She is the only one among all the sisters who has become "fat", but according to the original slender figure of the wolf girl template, she is just rounder, not plump.

It is difficult to change the body of an extraordinary person, especially after undergoing professional training. The energy supplement from simply eating is far lower than their consumption from low-intensity activities.

The deficient part is usually directly replenished by the environment, and the life energy will be maintained in a stable range. Most extraordinary people will not be too fat or too thin.

Sylvia and the others' current bodies have been adjusted by aqua regia. As their souls grow, these bodies will acquire quite good extraordinary qualities, similar to those of natural extraordinary beings.

Of course, the upper limit of the potential of these bodies is not very high.

[Nephrite] is a special individual. Her hobbies are food and sleep, but she is not lazy. She likes sports and fighting, as well as reading and thinking. She is a very comprehensive and powerful sister.

What she doesn't like is probably aqua regia, because aqua regia once conducted an abstinence experiment on her to test whether she had special abilities in eating.

It turns out there is.

After being replenished with sufficient food, sister [Nephrite] can even suppress her sister Sylvia in combat, and is better than the intelligent "Yue" in terms of calculation power and analysis. She is the well-deserved No. 1 in the base.

Of course, Sylvia will be suppressed simply because her physical fitness cannot keep up with her thinking, while [Nephrite] sister relies on eating and growing to surpass her elder sister in physical fitness.

Today, Sister Nephrite is willing to come, mainly because Wang Shui showed off the free menu here.

After three hours of slow fighting, she almost finished the food for four people by herself, but the way she was eating seriously was really healing.

After another half-hour of rest, Shui Wang removed the simple instruments on the android's body, filled in the new data into a table for calculation, and came to a new conclusion.

"The data shows that this body has become significantly stronger, and the deformation gel that makes up the human body has a trend of evolution. Therefore, it is basically certain that nephrite's ability comes from the soul, and its function is to strengthen the body through eating."

Wang Shui muttered to himself while filing the records. Debugging the artificial human body was his long-term research topic.

And just when he leaned over to check, Nephrite, who was lying on the single sofa, slowly stretched out her hands. She hugged Shui Wang's neck, and her long and flexible legs slowly and flexibly trapped Shui Wang.

In fact, Wang Shui had discovered it a long time ago, but he started to resist after recording the file, and then Wang Shui discovered that he had overestimated himself.

Ten seconds later, he was firmly locked by the nephrite and trapped in the sofa.

"Um, please ask, what are you doing?"

"Exercise after meals."

Nephrite cherishes words like gold. In this tight lock, she seemed to have found a more comfortable position to rest with her eyes closed.

As long as Wang Shui tried to break free, he would feel the discomfort in his back joints, and his limb muscles were also trapped in a state where it was difficult to exert force.

In fact, his head can still move, and if he can stand up, his legs can barely walk.

But nephrite's release is not the reason for him to violently crack it. After all, what is hanging on his body is not an enemy. If he dares to violently crack it, then... it will not be a simple lock.

"I want to go out to eat, and "Yue" said you are very rich. "

Just when Wang Shui was trying to convince the other party, Nephrite made a condition.

"Then let go first..."

Before the childish negotiation had begun, a light "voice" swept across the villa, or rather resounded throughout the ship.

----

[Dear passengers, this is the "Machine Ring Third Fleet Flagship Monroe", and I am the fleet intelligence core "PX-1421". 】

[First of all, thank you for choosing our ship to travel the universe. The fleet supply has been completed. We will set sail in 30 minutes and go to the next stop "Triad Star Port". The estimated time is 68 standard hours. 】

[At that time, the fleet will activate level four alert. Except for standard taboo items, please do not use unstable space items on any ship, or carry any items related to "Alien Gods".If you already have it, or if you have any inconvenience, please contact any staff member around you immediately. After 30 minutes, the witcher will join the regular security work. 】

----

It was a psychic broadcast①, and it sounded three times.

On the second time, Wang Shui reviewed the taboo list of level four alert and confirmed that he did not bring any contraband.

At this time, Nephrite also relaxed her restraint, staring at Wang Shui, urging him to finish what he was about to compromise.

Wang Shui sighed softly and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll treat you to something to eat after we set sail. However, I have a question. The wolf girl's body is not bad. I integrated the [Array·Annihilation Cycle] for you. This body But without Annihilation to help digestion, wouldn’t you be able to hold on? Besides, don’t you need to go to the toilet?”

The answer to Aqua Regia is the nephrite guillotine!

"Since you know it, why not hurry up and add it!"

So the shopping time was postponed a bit.

Wang Shui not only needs to add various arrays, but also needs to re-adjust the body of the artificial human. At least he needs to clean up the tattoo-like array patterns and hide them under the skin.

The transformation was completed quickly, and due to the high strength and adaptability of the deformation gel, the artificial human body has been strengthened a lot.

This is probably the strongest artificial human body that Aqua Regia has ever produced.

And Aqua Regia discovered that, also thanks to the deformation gel, no matter which sister comes, the body can always gain their own characteristics and abilities immediately.

Aqua Regia's evaluation of this is that it is magical and the deformation gel is worthy of its price.

The only thing that confused Wang Shui was the appearance of this body - she didn't look like Sylvia, but a woman that Wang Shui didn't recognize.

She has long black hair and red eyes, and her facial features are slightly heroic. The most special thing is the appropriate fusion of girlishness and rationality, which is hard to ignore.

Wang Shui didn't pay attention at first, until he was adjusting this body and found that his sisters had strictly restricted the appearance, and even Wang Shui couldn't change it easily.

Therefore, when they were walking on the casual streets on the ship, Wang Shui couldn't help but ask everyone through the internal network.

"Don't worry, the owner of that face is dead."

Sylvia replied calmly, "...and she died in my hometown. She was my master, my captain of the bodyguard, and she was like my mother."

"How did you die?"

To be honest, Wang Shui was a little rude, but he knew Sylvia and knew that she didn't want to mention it.

"The captain of the guard, who was born as a slave, naturally died in front of me. She blocked the fatal attack for me, which made me die half a year later.

Okay, no need to think too much. After entering the fifth level, I used high-level permissions to look for traces of her in this world. Unfortunately, there were no traces of her.But I think for her, death is the real relief. She needs rest so much. "

It contained a lot of information but was very small. Wang Shui could hear Sylvia's unique sadness.

After finishing speaking, Sylvia exited the channel. This was a sign that she didn't want to say more, and Wang Shui also shut up.

Speaking of which, this kind of plot is not uncommon in entertainment works. The destruction of sincere feelings in front of you will always bring about heart-wrenching resonance, but Wang Shui doesn't like this method very much.

Only then did Wang Shui realize that he had not even asked this master what his master's name was.

On the other hand, the Hill sisters, who are usually relatively insensitive, exuded their love for this face on the channel.

"I want to eat that! Those pastries!"

Oh, except this one.

Looking at the pastry shop next to him, Wang Shui weighed a bunch of bags in his hands and couldn't help but remind him:

"After buying these, let's go to the dining area above to eat. If we continue shopping, I will push an automatic shopping cart."

Sister Nephrite naturally agreed. She was looking forward to the taste of these delicacies more than Aqua Regia.

What Wang Shui is looking forward to is the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining area.

They chose a seat by the window to enjoy the meal. In fact, not many people came to dine at this time.

In other words, as passengers, most of them probably don't like eating in such public areas.

Sister Nephrite started her feast, while Shui Wang was looking out the window in a daze.

Space was much darker than he imagined, or there wasn't much light as far as the eye could see.

The flagship named [Monroe] has left the space port, and the war-torn planet has begun to become smaller. Except for the corner of the more distant star, there is not much color in the space.

I wonder if it’s because the lights here are too bright, and the distant stars are also a little dim.

Wang Shui looked at the space in a daze - on his hometown, the blue planet, his compatriots had just completed building a base on the moon. Humanity had only built small cities on the space station and had not yet explored deep space. .

As a programmer with average physical fitness, he has no chance, let alone time, to go to space.

He had only seen the kind of spectacular sight described by a very small number of human elites on the Internet, that kind of shocking feeling.

Today, he saw it.

He saw the dark and mysterious universe, and saw more unknowns. This feeling was not the same as the world he saw in the Gate of Truth - no, there were some similarities.

Gradually, Wang Shui recalled the feeling of becoming one with the fantasy world and universe.

It is emptiness and fullness at the level of time and space. The spirit gradually becomes emptier, but the world becomes more full. Those empty places are actually full of...

boom--

Aqua Regia's head hit the composite material table hard, and it was not until the sweet smell of orange and lemon filled his mouth that he recovered from the sweetness and a little sourness.

It was Sister Nephrite who stuffed some kind of fruit on the ice cream into his mouth, while looking at him with an inexplicable and complicated emotion.

"I……"

Aqua Regia was regaining consciousness, but he knew what had just happened - he was trying to spy on the truth, trying to integrate with the universe.

But he didn't mean it, it was just because he had a precedent of fusion before, and the spiritual touch that represented "omniscience" was still tempting him.

Wang Shui was alert, he suppressed the urge, and he immediately realized that after this escape, it seemed that he would never be able to actively enter that state again...

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"Are you okay?" Sister Nephrite was still eating, but she looked at Wang Shui with a dignified face and said, "There was a slight energy fluctuation in your hand just now."

Nephrite's words shocked Wang Shui. He quickly took off the gloves on his hands, and there was an inexplicable pattern on the back of his right hand.

It was a coin-sized pattern. Inside the classic alchemy ring was the shape of his Door of Truth, except that all the content depicted on the Door of Truth had been cleared.

Instead, there is a hollow sphere full of three-dimensionality, which seems to be moving?

Wang Shui immediately thought of the white space, the space that preserved his door of truth, and there was a similar ball in that space.

No, this is the ball!The ball formed by the movement of many concentric rings, aqua regia can feel it, it is!
But now, it was integrated with the Gate of Truth, and some strange information appeared in Wang Shui's mind.

As Shui Wang's shocked mood gradually calmed down, the tattoos on the back of his hands also began to fade and disappear.

"What is that?" The sister next to her also saw this magical scene.

Wang Shui's expression was still a little dull, but he said with great certainty:
"That's a gift from the stars."

　Note ①: Psionic energy here refers to spiritual energy, which is similar to the description of mental power, mental power, soul energy, etc. They refer to the same kind of power, which is the field energy generated by the thinking activities of intelligent creatures, not just bioelectricity. !
　　I mentioned it occasionally before that it felt too abrupt to be included in the main text, and the over-description made me uncomfortable, so I put a note here.

　　Oh, by the way, there will be an update tomorrow, no kidding~
