my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 87 Benjamin, a broad-minded man, a gentleman, Benjamin

The first meeting with the stars brought some unobvious changes to Aqua Regia.

The only thing reflected on his character panel is the energy bar. He has a third kind of energy:

[Energy 3·Stars: 100%]

The system also does not mark specific values, nor does it measure its levels, but the corresponding knowledge is the real gift, which requires Aqua Regia to dismantle it by itself.

The deep space outside the porthole window is still so mysterious and deep. The nephrite girl next to her is still eating the delicious food in small bites but quickly, and the aqua regia no longer feels the inexplicable tension at the beginning.

With inner peace, he entered shallow meditation and returned to the white space. No, there was no longer white here, but it completely turned into a starry sky.

The stars were shining as far as Wang Shui could see. He stood quietly in the void until a huge hollow sphere fell and "accommodated" him.

The many concentric rings that make up the sphere are constantly rotating. At the center of the sphere is a light blue figure that is the same as Aqua Regia, and its body is burning with the same light blue flame.

It also follows the fall of the sphere and gradually overlaps with the aqua regia.

The light blue flame went out, and the aqua regia itself occupied the hollow center of the ball.

The Door of Truth appeared behind him, and then, silver-white flames burned, and at the same time it was dyed with a black outline, and his vision suddenly became much darker.

The door of truth behind the aqua regia also began to change in the black and white flames. It was gradually ablated and elongated.

Gradually, it turned into a very wide blue-grey ring, joined the inner circle of the hollow sphere, and began its movement.

The entire hollow sphere began to shrink and received the heart of Aqua Regia's soul, and Aqua Regia opened his eyes at this time.

He's at level two.

As an awakener of the system, he completed the natural upgrade that only a natural transcendent would experience. His boss, the dream system, only updated his status belatedly without any prompting.

But he himself seemed to have just had a shallow dream, a specific and exaggerated dream.

Wang Shui finally knew what the white space that turned into a starry sky was called.Or if he asks Sylvia with the information now, he can also get the name of that space:

【Rational void】

In mysticism, I like to call it, [the residence of the soul].

Each independent and powerful transcendent soul will have its own specific residence.

And all the "residences" put together form a bright virtual starry sky, where absolute rationality and absolute truth reside.

All the stars shining there are the most dazzling souls.

Wang Shui finally had a special experience. He saw his unformed spiritual world and had some connection with the starry sky.

He felt honored, he no longer felt fear, and he was not carried away. This gift that was not given to mediocre people was still wrapped in layers.

Wang Shui picked up a piece of ice cream cake and ate it slowly. At the same time, he was quietly looking out the window, as if communicating with the deep space.

The nephrite sister whose food was robbed just frowned and protested silently to the aqua regia, but she didn't want to break the tranquility.

However, things always backfired.

"Hello, my friend, are you going to the alchemy exhibition too? Alone?"

Wang Shui turned his head and quickly looked at the person.

This is a small group of seven people. They wear uniform uniforms. Although they all look human, the texture of their skin and the details of their facial features are quite different from Aqua Regia.

In other words, there are obvious differences between them, but they are not ugly.

The person who took the initiative to talk to Wang Shui was a petite boy. Wang Shui temporarily assumed his gender from some details.

Beside him were two friends who had come to strike up a conversation, and the remaining four people were placing various kinds of food on the table next to him.

It seemed that it was indeed a chance encounter. Wang Shui used a twisting movement to sheath the flying knife.

"What's the matter?" Wang Shui asked back in standard [Modern Utura].

In fact, what the other party spoke was not Common Language, but a small language commonly used by alchemists as a spell-casting language.

Aqua regia understands and can use it, but is not used to using it in conversations.

"Ah! Sorry, I forgot that [Leh language] is not used here! Hello, sir, we are students from [Leh], and we are also here to participate in the alchemy exhibition held every ten years. My student name is [Leh] Oak·14319071·AR], you can call me AR!”

Advanced civilization [Leh], the birthplace of that small language, a dictatorial imperial civilization controlled by academics and advocating science.

Wang Shui immediately thought of a small amount of information. There were very few descriptions of this civilization on the Internet, and they were also very one-sided and objective. Wang Shui remained polite and gave the right social smile.

"Hello AR, [Benjamin M. Russell], just call me Benjamin. Welcome to [Elela Empire]."

The false name reported by Wang Shui was the name that Old Moran's friend, the creditor to whom he repaid his debt, asked him to call himself.

His boat tickets and exhibition tickets also used this name. In fact, judging from various archives, this pseudonym is more like Wang Shui's real name.

Wang Shui is an awakener who belongs to the system. He only has a code name of [Half Bottle of Water]. He has long wanted to change this stupid code name. As for Wang Shui, it is just the name he calls himself.

To this world, he only has those newly created false information.

"Russell! You are a member of the [Russell Family]! No wonder!
As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were attracted by your spiritual power, and then we saw your... Excuse me, is this alchemy doll your masterpiece?She is so perfect!There is almost no turbulent leakage of energy from the operation of the array. This technology is incredible!
As expected of the [Russell Family], which is famous for its alchemical technology, and worthy of being the cornerstone of the empire!I didn’t expect that in addition to mechanical alchemy, members of the [Russell Family] would also have such high achievements in biological alchemy, and you are so young! "

Okay, okay, stop licking, your classmates can hardly hold it in anymore.

"Hey, AR, you misunderstood. I didn't make this, it's just a new toy I bought. In fact, I came to the exhibition just to take a look around and see if there are any more interesting toys."

As he spoke, Shui Wang hugged Sister Nephrite who was eating and pinched her face. Naturally, Nephrite immediately suppressed her and pinned her down on the table.

The suppressed Wang Shui still kept smiling. He did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he said cheerfully:

"See, this is the price of high intelligence, but it's also more interesting - eh! Be gentle! My arm is about to be dislocated!"

Wang Shui's antics made everyone laugh. Except for AR classmate who was a little embarrassed when he failed to flatter him, others thought this [Benjamin] was very interesting.

"Can you please be more solemn... Hello Benjamin, I am Lina, the leader of this group of over-energy guys, a student of the 29th class of this era [Leh University], nice to meet you."

Although the atmosphere was good, someone always needed to lead the social content. Wang Shui just looked at it with a smile, so a senior who looked very intellectual and serious stood up and introduced herself very naturally.

After that, other students introduced themselves and greeted each other, and everyone got to know each other peacefully. After that, the topic was gradually led by Wang Shui.

Wang Shui originally thought that the male student AR, the most lively and outgoing among them, would be the first to strike up a conversation with him, but he did not expect that the reason why AR took the initiative was that his research direction happened to be biological alchemy.

As soon as they started chatting, Wang Shui discovered that this group of people, including the senior sister Lina who seemed to be relatively stable and intellectual, were all people that Wang Shui could not imagine... uh, extroverted?Or open?
In short, based on Wang Shui's relatively long memory of his student career, his classmates probably would not show the complete alchemy array on their chest to someone they just met.

But Wang Shui had to admit that the large area was also an advantage for the alchemist.With a serious academic attitude, Wang Shui began to obtain information from this group of interesting students. After all, his knowledge of the exhibition was only a simple conference schedule, and there was very little specific content online.

As we chatted, the topics started to spread.

Almost every college student, regardless of whether their life in school is comfortable or not, will always complain about their alma mater after graduation and miss that free time after graduation.

This group of students happens to be in the period of boredom.

They complain about the overly rigorous academic style of each college, which makes the first six years of their 12-year studies full of courses; they point out the living quarters, lash out at the cafeteria, and criticize all kinds of strange rules and regulations. The system exhales fragrance.

In Wang Shui's eyes, this university only has twelve academic years, which seems a bit exaggerated.

But judging from the vast, complex and effect-oriented extraordinary knowledge system, these 12 years of study may not be enough.

Based on their complaints, Wang Shui gained some new understanding of [Leh], a civilization controlled by academic circles and university organizations.

The various universities in [Leh] are not only political institutions that rule various star regions, but also comprehensive representatives of many large enterprises. They are also special organizations that control cutting-edge science and technology. The great scientists known as [Supervisors] actually control this civilization.

To be honest, after raising the perspective, the world is not only larger, but also begins to become more complex.

Wang Shuiduo hoped that the world he traveled to would be all countries and dynasties with the same political system, but unfortunately, these so-called civilized worlds were far more complicated than his cognitive system.

But fortunately, there are some unified standards that run through all civilizations and help Wang Shui understand and understand the world, such as interests.

Wang Shui didn't like these troublesome things, but he was still recording all kinds of information carefully. After all, he wanted to play the role of a high-level civilized and famous disciple.

Although Old Moran repeatedly emphasized in correspondence that as long as Wang Shui did not use the reputation of the [Russell Family] to cause trouble, he would be protected by the same level as the core members of the Russell Family.

Sylvia also said that there should be no life-threatening danger here.

But Aqua Regia has his own judgment and acting style, but it may be a little less efficient.

The lively chat ended when the food was exhausted.

After Wang Shui exchanged contact information with this group of interesting students, he returned to the single-family villa with Nephrite.

In fact, what Wang Shui didn't expect was that the students of the advanced civilization [Leh] were also using the Dream Network.

He originally thought that the Dream Network, like his boss the Dream System, came from another universe.

The advanced civilization here is so confident about the Dream Network?
All kinds of overt and covert information and doubts filled Wang Shui's thoughts to the point where he couldn't even read a book and just curled up on the sofa in a daze.

"Still thinking about those students? Are your views shocked?" Nephrite asked unexpectedly.

"Well, it's too big. This world is too big."

When Wang Shui answered, his face was serious. He thought seriously for a while and began to output some nonsense:
“More and more professional resources are controlled by the top of various interest groups. The more advanced the civilization, the more solidified the world is.

The prosperity below is all based on different levels of entertainment control. The lower the people are, the lower the spiritual satisfaction they can get, and they seem to prefer low-level entertainment. "

"So what's going on in your head? Saving?"

"Me? Why? Who to save?
Those at the bottom of advanced civilization should not be too happy. They think that indulgent life and low-level enjoyment are free and beautiful. Even if they are squeezed out of everything and discarded like garbage, this is how a civilized world should be, not to mention those who Advanced civilizations are not particularly vicious.

I think they are right. In their situation and position, it is not bad to have low-level enjoyment. I just... feel it and express my feelings about their wonderful life.

Ha, those students really knew everything. "

Wang Shui tried his best to express his thoughts calmly, and kept emphasizing that he was just feeling.

Nephrite, on the other hand, is not a digital toy without its own opinion.

"You are standing on a self-righteous cognitive high ground, judging some people who live a more luxurious life than you. You want to show envy to hide yourself, but you also have a strong sense of contempt. I don't understand, but I think those students , not that simple.”

Wang Shui was not embarrassed to be exposed, but he just didn't want to continue talking, so he changed the topic:
"Philosophy is an eternal argument, interesting, but meaningless. I liked watching these when I was young, but later I found that looking directly at the increasingly magical real world is more interesting than philosophy.

Okay, the boring topic is over here. Those students are more interesting. They are not just innocent, they simply want to eat people. But after today, they should not stick to me anymore. "

"Oh? Did something happen that I don't know about?"

I listened to the whole process and was impressed many times by the exquisite craftsmanship of nephrite, but did not notice any special information.

Aqua regia put his hand into his hunting suit pocket and took out a small pink ball, which was less than one centimeter in diameter and relatively turbid in color.

While showing it, Wang Shui explained to Nephrite:

"This is an energy alchemical toxin that has the effect of a slight hallucinogen. It can act on the strengthened physique of extraordinary people. It has a slow and continuous aphrodisiac effect. It is easy for people to think that it is their own desires from the heart, and even more What’s interesting is that the energy inside is directed towards those seven people.”

"what do you mean……"

"Not only are those three students with female characteristics trying to fuck me, but those boys are also, tsk, am I so handsome?"

"Maybe the family behind you is more handsome." Nephrite complained calmly, "I'm more surprised that you actually let them go?"

Wang Shui suddenly asked in surprise: "What do you mean! Do you think I am the kind of person who will retaliate?!"

"My sister said you have a very bad character. Even if others don't offend you, you will subconsciously want to tease others, especially when you are bored. Moreover, if someone offends you, you are very keen on using the same means to retaliate. go back."

"Nonsense! Slander! How could I, a research-oriented transcendent with advanced education, like to do such vile things!
You see, I intercepted their poison and even analyzed its ingredients and effects. Didn’t I just laugh it off and not use this medicine to take revenge? "

"Are you afraid that they have an antidote? Moreover, the ingredients of the medicine are not pure elements. It is useless to only analyze the ingredients. You need to reverse the process of change to completely replicate it. Untested drugs can easily kill you. them."

As an individual with considerable intelligence, Nephrite calmly analyzed Wang Shui's fears.

"right,"

Wang Shui simply and shamelessly admitted,
"Yes, with my mastery of drug alchemy, I am indeed not strong enough to mix up poisons with unknown formulas, and I don't have those dirty materials with me."

"so what?"

"So I spent a long time penetrating into their mental barriers, using alchemy in their bodies, and using the hormones in their bodies as materials to create the health medicine I accidentally created."

"health care?"

"Yeah, they're super cool. Maybe we won't be able to see them during the next three days of space travel."

Looking at the beaming Wang Shui, Nephrite really couldn't connect him with the guy who was looking deeply at the stars.

She could only silently open the takeout box and muttered in a low voice:

"My sister is right."
