Chapter 184 It wants to thank me! (Thanks to the legendary leader of the orange cat
The whole night passed without me noticing.

In the makeshift workshop inside the carriage, when the alarm clock rang, Ji Jue belatedly realized the arrival of morning.

Thanks to the physique of the Chosen One, it didn't matter if he didn't sleep all night. Besides, he had rested for a long time on the road. After a night of hard work, when the furnace was turned on again, the bright silver light illuminated his eyes.

"Done!"

Ji Jue grinned: "Thank you, Brother Qiu!"

[We are brothers, why are you being so polite?] Gui Gongqiu calmly replied: [It has been a while since we last met, but your skills have improved. Looking at your current level, if you go back and study theory, you may be able to take the exam for a license.]

"Still a long way to go."

Ji Jue shook his head. His family knew their own business. He was not so arrogant as to think that a few months would be enough for him to cross the gate that had blocked countless people for many years.

The imbalance in one subject is really too serious.

Among all the skills nowadays, apart from the increasingly popular dissociation technique, the most proficient one is fluid alchemy. After all, it is very useful when combined with non-attack in the workshop, but it cannot be used to apply for a license.

Although the level of modern alchemy is not low, it is basically focused on practical operation. It cannot be said that it is all due to one's own efforts, but the insights brought by the ex machina when digesting the essence of the Supreme Good definitely account for more than 90%. If the theoretical level is not good enough, you can only copy the answer, and you don't even know why this number is filled in here.

Of the four basic skills, the levels of purification and integration were both incredibly high, like ascension, while the level of transformation, which required experience, theory, and practice, was still completely within the realm of apprentices. If you wanted to improve, you could only spend a lot of money and practice hard, there was no shortcut.

Even if they are lucky enough to get a license, they can only make counterfeit and pirated products, which are completely superficial... Not only Ji Jue can't stand this kind of funny character, but Professor Ye would probably want to get rid of him after seeing him.

Better take your time.

"come over."

Ji Jue hooked his finger into the furnace, and immediately, mercury rushed out and fell into the open toolbox at his feet without any control by Ji Jue.

It seemed no different from before it was thrown into the furnace, but after a night of purification, all the impurities were removed, the bone disappeared, and instead, the bright glow emerged from the surface of mercury.

Under the illumination of the light, it seems like countless fine crystals, refracting wisps of faint colors, changing and flowing, as if full of mystery.

Ji Jue waved his hand and snapped his fingers. In an instant, the silent mercury gushed out, covering the front of him and turning into an iron wall.

Different from the pure metallic silver glow of the past, the iron wall was now faintly transparent, showing a crystal-like texture.

[What the hell? Did you do something wrong? ]

Gui Gongqiu's tone was stunned for a moment, and then he started to mock: [If I had known earlier, I would have been better off throwing this blessing into a rotten vortex. What on earth have you done? ]

You should know that the ability of the Blessing of Gold and Iron is to enhance the strength, hardness and rigidity of all materials. It varies depending on the user's comprehension and understanding of the Way of Ruins, and even the amount of spiritual essence invested.

But there is no doubt that since it is called the quality of gold and iron, the closer to metal the better! How come Ji Jue is like burning glass in his hands, and he has been busy all night to make such a thing?

"You'll know after trying it."

Ji Jue waved his finger calmly, and suddenly, a branch extended from the iron wall. It was as thin as a piece of paper, but under the infusion of spiritual essence, it became more and more transparent!

Snapped!
Suddenly, an invisible force burst out from the void, and then, a tiny scratch suddenly appeared on the thin mercury crystal.

Just when Ji Jue was about to smile, he saw that the crystal was broken in half!

It fell to the ground and quickly disintegrated into scattered liquid mercury.

The finished product that I poured so much of my spiritual energy and hard work into was chopped to pieces during testing?

"What the hell?"

[Fuck!] At this moment, Guigongqiu was even more shocked than him: [What the hell is this strength?! What medicine did you take?]

In order to put some pressure on Ji Jue, even if it was just to test the strength, it was compared with the strength and scale of Professor Ye's usual tests. Not to mention a piece, even if it was an iron wall, it should be chopped into powder with one sword.

As a result, the test subject can still maintain his shape?

And during the slashing process, it actually felt a slight stagnation for a moment as if something was cut off? !
In other words, if the spiritual essence invested is equal to the specification of the operator, this sword may return in vain...

[Something is wrong, this composition... is Minerva?] The analysis module scanned it instantly, and the Ghost Ball suddenly realized: [When the hell did you learn this set?]

"That's a long story."

Ji Jue subconsciously touched his abdomen, but unfortunately there was no familiar emblem there. He sighed: Now that his vision has improved, he feels more and more that it was a waste of talent to use the Sword of Minerva to chop that Lightning Old Deng.

During the smelting and forging of the Blessing of Gold and Iron, he deliberately imitated the crystal structure created by Sister Wen based on his own understanding, but unfortunately, he failed to draw a tiger, and at best it could only be regarded as a big orange. Even so, the theoretical strength of Gold and Iron was greatly increased.

Stronger than gold and iron is not nonsense or a metaphor.

It looked like a piece of mercury, but in fact, the structure of metal crystals was divided into countless layers and components, isolating shocks and vibrations, and preventing spiritual erosion and diffusion. It can be said that both physical resistance and magic resistance have been raised to the theoretical limit, bringing the blessing to its fullest potential.

According to Ji Jue's calculations, if it were deployed at full strength, the mercury wall would be able to withstand the impact of more than ten kilograms of phlogiston explosives. As for whether the people behind it would be shocked to death... that was another matter.

In this way, my shortcomings in defense have been temporarily made up, and I don't have to worry about it at this stage.

After putting away the ghost ball, Ji Jue spent a long time comforting the calf who had been caught in a car accident and then treated coldly all night. Fortunately, he fed the boiled chicken in the refrigerator clean, and finally healed his wounded heart a little.

"Be good, baby, I'm doing this for our future life!"

Ji Jue sighed earnestly, stroked the dashboard and said with emotion: "I just made a mistake that an ordinary engineer would make... Hey, don't be angry, look, haven't we arrived in Quancheng?
There is no telling how many materials and treasures there will be in the future, so you can show off as much as you want. Of course, of course, we will give you all of them when the time comes!
Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you? For this family? ! "

The more he talked, the quieter the horn of the little cow horse sounded. Ji Jue's tone became more angry and serious: "Am I the kind of person who forgets about you when I see a nice car? I do this just to make more money and replace your car chassis as soon as possible? Without my endurance, how could we afford such good engine oil and lubricants?

You really should reflect on yourself and don't do this again next time! Just reflect on yourself here and I'll come back to see how you perform. If you perform well, I can discuss the winch you liked last time..."

Having said that, Ji Jue left the calf with its humming engine behind and headed towards the RV.

Having witnessed the entire process of the ghost ball several times, I was hesitant to speak.

[Brother, if you continue to be such a jerk, I feel like you will be killed by your own car in the future...]

"Bullshit, what are you talking about?"

Ji Jue refuted with a glare, "Ours is pure love, the bond between man and car, do you understand? It even said thank you to me!"

Before he finished speaking, a horn of gratitude sounded from behind.

"Look what I said!"

【…】

Gui Gongqiu spent a long time thinking of some swear words, but in the end he had nothing to say.

"Also, what happened to you just now?"

Ji Jue suddenly realized what was going on and said suspiciously, "I didn't see you use it when we were in the world rift. Are you playing tricks on me, my brother, because I have a close relationship with you?"

[Nonsense! I'm here to be your backup, not your slave!]

Gui Gongqiu was furious. How could he tolerate the PUA being used on him? [The default order was to save your life, but I didn't say to be your hot weapon!

Besides, you have to let me use it, but you turned into... you took out all that stuff, it's so outrageous, what else can I do except pretend to be dead? 】

This is the first time that Ghost Ball has encountered such a weird temporary user.

As soon as he entered the door, he was tricked by the prophet and almost burned his core. Later he met even more monsters, either a group of Karami who Ji Jue had dealt with himself, or a super heavyweight like the evil mercury.

I was defeated almost the entire time.

Although Ye Xian has never lent it to anyone else since it came out, the Ghost Ball can judge that even among the Chosen Ones of the Ashes, Ji Jue is the most evil one.

Besides, look at the hellish stuff you've done!

The lower limit of embers is already very low, why are there still people thinking about digging a basement all day long? At this moment, after the swear word database of the ghost ball was spinning for a long time, I could only silently wish you a bad death!
"Finished so quickly?"

Professor Ye was having breakfast in the RV. When he saw Ji Jue coming up, he pointed to his seat. Immediately, someone brought a plate, fork, freshly baked toast and hot tea. The ham and barbecued pork were dotted with vegetables, which made people's appetite grow.

This further strengthened Ji Jue's determination to come and have free meals in the next few days!
"It's not finished yet, and I don't have any good ideas for now. I just did some preliminary preprocessing. The effect after the fusion of blessing and mercury is quite good, and it can be gradually improved later."

Ji Jue reported: "But apart from the main body, the processing process consumed a lot of materials."

"They are just some spare consumables. It doesn't matter."

Professor Ye didn't care at all. He would not be stingy with those unimportant ones, but as for those truly rare and precious ones, he would not dare to take them out without his permission.

After putting down the teacup and wiping her hands, she picked up the ghost ball, as if to read a record, and hung it back on the thermos.

As for Ji Jue's smelting and production, he just nodded slightly.

"good."

Ji Jue paused for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, then he lowered his head and continued eating.

Someone would naturally clean up after the meal, so Ji Jue didn't need to busy himself to show his hospitality.

"Okay, let's go."

Professor Ye picked up the thermos cup and said, "It's been so long, it's time to go through the procedures and report in, otherwise my colleagues will think I look down on them."

Although in reality I really look down on it.

After the early morning, the camp was still busy with people coming and going, many military vehicles going back and forth, and those who patrolled the surrounding areas looked a little tired after returning.

A few people who had finished breakfast came out of the restaurant and saw Ye Xian and Ji Jue from afar. They seemed to change color slightly, lowered their heads, quickened their pace and hurried away.

A few old men did stop in their tracks after seeing this, but they just nodded and did not come closer.

Ji Jue couldn't help scratching his head after seeing this. It seemed that his lineage had a bad reputation in the industry.

But that's normal.

If Professor Ye ever spoke to people in a gentle and pleasant voice, Ji Jue would feel that something strange had happened.

Now that he was here, he couldn't help but look around.

Looking outside the camp, in the direction of the Quancheng ruins.

Unfortunately, there was only a thick white fog that made it impossible to see anything. In the dim light, there seemed to be the outline and traces of some buildings, but they were completely invisible.

Professor Ye said without even turning his head: "Don't waste your efforts. We have put in so many projects over the years, from the subconscious drive signal to the isolation of the Tianyuan system and the blockade of the embers. Nothing can be seen from the outside."

"Didn't they say it collapsed? I didn't see any signs of earthquake or rift." Ji Jue was curious.

"Talent is strange."

Ye Xian shook his head: "The word 'fall' is relative to the present world and space, and refers to the distance from the Supreme Good - if it is close to the Supreme Good, it is a holy place. If it is far away from the Supreme Good, it is an evil realm.

In terms of distance, the current Quancheng is probably almost out of touch with the real world and close to the vortex. Although it is still connected to the real world, it is like a rift. It would not be surprising if it falls completely into it at any time."

If it was just falling, it would be fine.

However, the Quancheng area is so huge that once it completely falls into the vortex, I am afraid that a big hole will be created in the world, and then there will be endless disasters.

For so many years, it has been unable to rise, and it has been unable to fall completely. Being in the middle of everyone's weakness, in one word, is painful.

Now if we could accomplish our goal in one fell swoop and solve the problem completely, that would definitely be a great thing.

But the question is, can it really be solved?
There is a question mark in everyone's mind.

But the further he followed Ye Xian, the more at ease Ji Jue felt, but this sense of at ease was somewhat unbelievable to him. It was a completely subconscious feeling.

It was as if he had walked into a sanctuary. Even though the Quancheng Cave was right in front of him, he instinctively felt that he was supported by something.

Not only the mind, but also the spiritual essence became calm. Even the spontaneous overflow and emission disappeared, and the operation became obedient and confined to the body.

It's like wading in deep water and feeling the resistance.

Some invisible force enveloped the air, suppressing all chaos and disputes, setting up rules and standards, making everything seem clear and straightforward, and with a basis to follow.

It was as if there were invisible eyes hanging high in the sky, overlooking everything.

Witness all.

It is undisguised, yet makes it difficult for people to feel resistance or disgust.

Within this realm, all the flow of spiritual essences can be traced, and all the abilities and blessing fluctuations have been restrained. It is not that they cannot be mobilized, but it is like putting a sword into a sheath. All changes will be known and understood.

Even, suppression!
Ji Jue had no doubt that such a powerful force was definitely not just used for surveillance. If there was any turmoil, it would probably be suppressed immediately.

What shocked him even more was that even if he exhausted his own perception, he could not reach the end of this area.

It’s as if the entire surrounding area of ​​Quancheng is included in it!
It's too exaggerated...

"That's why I want you to go out more often. If you stay in Yacheng for a long time, you won't be able to develop any vision. If you stay in the corners for a long time, you will become short-sighted and mean."

Ye Xian walked in front and said calmly: "This is the realm of the Tianyuan system.

If the matrix and blessing of the Chosen One who transcends the rank are sufficient, once they exert their full strength, they will form a vast domain that is enough to interfere with reality. You should have seen it, right?"

Ji Jue nodded.

Recalling the time when Sister Wen and Lawrence were working with all their strength, the entire crystal field of Keats Hospital was stagnant.

Cover up reality with will, replace things with soul, erode the world with self... reaching this point is like cutting open a rough stone to reveal a peerless light.

Ji Jue was curious: "But...wouldn't it be tiring to maintain such a huge circle every day?"

"Who knows?" Ye Xian shook his head slightly. "For a celestial being, it might just be a little hard work. Or maybe he doesn't care."

God.

Ji Jue's breathing paused slightly.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of security increase again.

Heavenly beings... those beings who have broken through the boundaries between mortals and gods and truly touched upon destiny, have powers and abilities that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If there is a celestial being to help, the matter of Quancheng may not be impossible!
He suddenly became more confident.

Professor Ye, who was walking in front, seemed to sense something and looked back at him inexplicably, as if he felt sympathy, but did not say anything.

Ten minutes later, Ji Jue wanted to give himself a slap in the face for what he had just done.

What are you thinking?

It's a waste of time!
