Chapter 280 Two hundred and seventy-seven · "Hope there won't be that day"

  【December 4, 2021, 18:05 in the evening】

The upsurge on the    World Forum has nothing to do with Su Mingan for the time being. He turned on Do Not Disturb mode.

   At this moment, the ice-white door was opening in front of him.

   After the end of each world instance, his master skill allows him to choose a world he has experienced before, and he can travel through it during the rest period.

   When he stepped into the city surrounded by white machines, he saw a figure standing on the covered bridge, supporting a mechanical prosthesis.

   Those blue eyes like the sky and sea looked at him calmly, her hands spread out, as if she wanted to give him a courtesy.

   "Welcome back, my traveler."

   she whispered softly.

   The small white robots were transported like ants at the end of the covered bridge. A pair of flying wing rotors grew out of their interfaces, arrived at his side, and greeted him in Qiqi.

   "Noriya."

  Su Mingan made a sound and approached her.

   He observed the daytime floating city.

   After they left, it seemed that it wasn’t long before the building was as it was, immersed in a rotten and highly saturated brilliance.

   It’s just that, unlike before, there is obviously more vitality here than before.

   All kinds of men and women walk through the streets and alleys of the outer city. Looking down from the high covered bridge, he could see their faces smiling under the light.

  …So, has the city really been "redeemed"?

  Su Mingan stepped onto the covered bridge and suddenly saw a very tall building standing in the area near the inner city in the outer city.

   Amidst the colorful colors, the building completely made of pure white is particularly obvious, like a piece of jade standing in the middle.

   He took a closer look, and then began to regret it.

  …Ghost knows why. Noria... she'll put up a giant statue of him.

"Travelers from the outside world, that's what you deserve." Noria said softly: "As the hero who saved this city, you should be respected by everyone. And everything about me at this time is caused by Your actions at that time constituted. I will not deprive you of credit for your departure."

   "No, though...this is..."

  Su Ming'an can hardly describe the feeling of seeing a statue exactly like himself.

   "That's right." Noria said, "Please don't call me Noria. I'm... the third generation, you can call me three."

  Su Ming'an's heart skipped a beat.

   "Three." He understood: "Is it already the third generation..."

  People cannot be purely rational creatures. Even if they are transformed into androids, they still have human thoughts and emotions.

   They will laugh, cry, and naturally get tired and tired.

   The annihilation of the soul cannot be avoided, even if the body remains forever.

"Now my blood and flesh are all made up of mechanical veins and parts." San said: "I don't understand the mood of the first generation to make offspring, but my follow-up actions are all engraved on my chip and cannot be changed. ,Unavoidable."

   She said, and suddenly laughed: "But it's strange, I still don't know what it feels like. Today, I still can't get out of this strange cycle."

   "By the way, a traveler from the outside world, what is the purpose of your return..." After a while, she said.

   "I want to ask," Su Mingan said solemnly after thinking for a moment:

   "Is there...a potion similar to regulating people's mental state, or similar technology?"

   He has tried it before, and things in this world cannot be brought out, even with the permission of the leader.

   Unless it is a specific technology that can be learned.

   He wanted to find similar techniques.

  San glanced at him.

   There was something inexplicable in her eyes.

"If there is such a thing, we don't have to replace 'Noriya' from generation to generation." She sighed softly: "The medicine is a foreign object after all, and we are the only ones who can control us in a real sense. "

  Su Mingan frowned.

"…but."

   Soon, San's next sentence made him relax.

   "I do have a few Type II tranquilizers here that work well. Although they physically block chaos and fear, they should be of great help to you humans."

   "Is it a tranquilizer...Unfortunately, I can't bring something out." Su Ming'an said, "This manufacturing technique...Can I learn it?"

   "No, the rank is too high, with your current level...you shouldn't be able to learn." San said: "Wait for your authority to increase one level, and then study again."

  Su Mingan understood in seconds.

   In game terms, this is because his level is not high enough to light up the corresponding skill tree.

   Or his current rank in power is too low... After all, at the second rank, he probably cannot meet the learning requirements, just like the second-rank pharmacist and the third-rank pharmacist, there are ranks.

   However, when he learned that this thing is not impossible to learn, he was relieved.

  If it can be produced in large quantities, then this kind of thing may be promoted in addition to being applied to itself...

   "Then..." Su Ming'an recalled another need for his visit this time: "Can I learn the production technology of fixed-point explosives?"

   He chose Baicheng among the power-holder skills, naturally he wanted the science and technology here.

  The kind of mechanical explosives that Yu Ruohe gave him before, that shined brightly in the fourth world, regardless of friend or foe, was a powerful mechanical explosive, which really shocked him. With that thing, even low-level players with little combat power can become high-level self-destruction soldiers.

  In some specific mission situations, explosives that can quickly destroy buildings are even more god-like props.

   It’s just that the number is too small. If it can be produced and used on a large scale, it will be a god-level skill.

   Under his gaze, three nodded.

   "Currently... OK."

   She said and smiled: "Please come with me. The study of mechanical explosives will take some time. During this period, my subordinate Nesir will guide you throughout the process..."

   When walking across the long covered bridge, Su Mingan couldn't help but glance at the statue again.

After    switched to shadow state, he successfully saw a line of small characters next to the statue.

  【Hero of the White City, Outside Traveler·Su Ming'an】

  【Baicheng Old Calendar Year 9 Year 358 - New Calendar Year 1 Year 1】

  Su Ming'an: "…"

  This place may lack the chrysanthemums used for ceremonies.

  …

   "Welcome, hero of the White City, I am honored to serve as your temporary teacher."

   After entering the inner city and seeing Snell wrapped in a pure white uniform, a panel popped up in front of Su Mingan.

  【You are about to start learning the special skills of those in power: (mechanical explosive production technology)

  Note: The acquisition method of this skill is outside the normal game mechanism and does not count into the player's active skill slot.

   Note: You have opened up a special skill slot · Power holder (current number of slots: 1/1, you can further increase the number of skill slots and obtain additional skills by advancing as a master.)]

  …

  【Mechanical Explosive Production Technology

   Giver: Snell (Second Seat in White City)

  Introduction: After learning this technique, players will master the production skills of (mechanical explosives).

   Duration of study: five days

  Learning conditions: The site of the Baicheng laboratory, the permission of the ruler of Baicheng, sufficient resource supply, the second-order power.

  Note: This technology can only be mastered by the person in power and cannot be taught to others. 】

  …

"Snell is very strict. Even if you are the hero of Baicheng, he will not lower his standards during the teaching process." San smiled and said, "It's too late to give up now. I don't think your mental state is very good. Well, don't wear yourself out."

   "It's fine." Su Ming'an said.

  … This is another world’s technology, a field that humans have never been involved in.

   Unlike any previous 'skill', it is something called 'technology'. It is not a teaching method that is enlightening, nor is it a usage plan for clicking on the skill grid, but it really requires people to understand and learn by themselves.

  New knowledge, new technology, new world content.

   Another field, a gem on a technological level.

  Humans are always eager for the unknown, and he is naturally very interested in a new technology that he has never seen before.

   "Well...I have persuaded you, the hero of Baicheng." Listening to his extremely sure words, San's tone rose a little.

  Su Mingan suddenly had a bad feeling.

   After following Snell into the ice-white laboratory, after seeing dozens of bottles with different colors and different reactions on the table, and a huge wall-like element ratio table...

   He felt his hunch had come to pass.

  …

   "Ryoko, go get the backyard brush!"

  In the crowded pet shop, the old man leaning on the reclining chair was fanning his paddle fan lazily.

  The business exploded for a while, and Ryoko, who was too busy to turn around, roared angrily: "I'm busy, Dad, take it by yourself, the body is not an old man, why do you want me to take care of it..."

   Before she could finish her sentence, a girl with anticipation in her eyes rushed up in front of her.

   "—Miss clerk, what kind of pet did Lu Shu just buy?" In the crowded store, a girl with sparkling eyes pulled her and kept asking.

   "He didn't come! He didn't come!" Ryoko immediately shook her head desperately.

   "I saw it clearly just now that the Great God Lu Shu came out of this store. He walked all the way from the street, carrying a **** plastic bag!"

Someone immediately responded: "Sure enough, I saw it too! It's so obvious, so I just walked over. But the black plastic bag... Is that a cage or utensils that I bought? It shouldn't be that someone will use plastic bags to pack pets. "

   "Sister Clerk, Miss Clerk, do you know the Great God Lu Shu? Will he come again in the future? Where did he sit just now, can I check in and take pictures?" Another girl immediately squeezed up.

   Ryoko was crowded among a group of girls, neither crying nor laughing.

   Originally wanted to eat dessert in the evening, she was forced to give up her idea and turned to deal with these crazy star chasers.

  …Damn it.

   This guy Lu Shu, what time is it, when the world game just started, didn't he go out without a bit of cover up! ?

   He was fine, he took the dog and turned around and left, she couldn't run away from here, it was almost becoming an internet celebrity check-in spot. There were still many people squatting at the door, and it seemed that this group of people would wait there until Lu Shu came next time.

   "Tsk tsk tsk, today's young people..."

The old man smoked his pipe, spit it out in a very unqualified manner, and said with emotion as he smoked: "I didn't expect the times to change like this, even the children of the Lu family who have grown up like this have so many girls who like him... I was so handsome when I was young. , how come only your mother has taken a fancy to me..."

   "Dad, don't add fuel to the fire! - There are other people who have grown up, aren't they very handsome! I've never seen photos of you when you were young!"

   Ryoko was so busy that she was a little out of breath.

   On the one hand, she has to deal with people who frantically ask her where Lu Shu is going, and on the other hand, she has to provide services to those who really buy pets. Looking around, the whole small store is full of players taking screenshots and recordings, and they are all young and beautiful girls.

  …Are people so blind now?

  What good is that kind of wood, he doesn't see you at all!

   "Hey, can I touch that one..."

   "Sister clerk, how did you meet God Lu Shu? Are you friends before? How was he before? Can't you talk like this?"

   "Squeeze me to death, squeeze me to death, everyone don't squeeze..."

   "Hurry up and take pictures in front of you, you're all waiting in line! Don't be dawdling."

  “…”

  “…”

   In the midst of anxiety and irritability, Ryoko suddenly heard a "ding dong!" sound in her ear.

   This sound was very familiar to her.

She likes to surf the Internet at ordinary times, and has followed hundreds of players on the World Forum, including top-ranked peak players, live-streaming studio Lezi people, sub-professional life masters, and management of various top organizations layer personnel.

   Therefore, her daily routine is to keep ringing "ding dong" in her ears, and then open the forum to see if there is any new music.

   But on this day, the frequency of this “ding dong” sound seems to be a bit unusual.

   "ding dong", "ding dong", "ding dong"…

   is almost like a machine gun, she only felt a tinkling sound in her ear, and a bunch of reminders sounded one after another.

While    was busy, she also noticed that there seemed to be many players who raised their hands at the same time, as if they were operating some interface.

   "Ah!" A girl with two ponytails suddenly exclaimed: "Noel posted!"
