Chapter 50 Extra Gift
“No matter how many times I see it, I will still be amazed.”
Looking around at the surrounding scene, Song Shi said softly.
With him as the center, countless stars dotted this quiet and boundless sky. Not one star has the same light. These "psychics" who set foot on the Great Source in the past turned into human beings after their death. The stars gathered together to form this magnificent starry sky.
They hang quietly, watching the fellow travelers who will embark on the same road in the future.
When the mind sinks into the sea of mind and the psychic opens his eyes again, he will appear here.
This is the [Road].
To be more precise, this is the [Dayuan] road.
Finally enough with this scene, Song Shi withdrew his gaze and took stock of his situation.
Compared with the last time I entered, this time my position in the first ring area of the road has obviously improved a lot.
At the end of the entire road, there stands a huge door whose material is difficult to identify - this is the door from the first ring, [Awakening] to the second ring, [Mastery]. If you want to advance to the second ring, you must push this door open. Door leaf.
But this is still a bit far from Song Shi.
If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that Song Shi is currently in the middle of the road, still half way away from the huge door ahead.
“Well, I guess it’s about the same.”
Seeing this, Song Shi nodded slightly.
Although theoretically I am still halfway to the "second ring", the actual situation is not calculated like this.
[Forging Flame], [Return to Flood], and [Accommodation], three psychic skills have been engraved on myself. Therefore, the rest of the journey is just a simple accumulation process.
Accumulate spiritual energy to your upper limit through "meditation" and other methods, improve your adaptability to spiritual energy, and improve your mastery of spiritual energy -
This is pure water grinding kung fu, even if He could only "speed up" but not "skip". Moreover, even if he could, Song Shi would not skip this basic skill of a psychic.
Without a solid enough foundation, how can it withstand future tall buildings?
As for "opening the door", the biggest problem in theoretical promotion...
Song Shi didn't want to say it was too rude.
So.
The only problem with promoting yourself to the second level, [Mastery], is the time required for accumulation and polishing - if nothing else happens, it will be completed within two months at the latest.
Putting away these thoughts, Song Shi slowly raised his head.
Above him, he saw a ball of fluorescence floating quietly. It seemed like an illusion. This ball of fluorescence had a faint burning sensation.
This is the real reason why Song Shi entered here.
When the ritual·[Blood with Fire] was completed and the constraints of the oath dissipated, a feeling suddenly emerged from his heart, calling Song Shi to quickly enter the path.
“It actually appeared. An extra gift from Daotu.”
Song Shi couldn’t help but sigh: “Oh, it’s me as expected.”
The moment he saw this fluorescent light, Song Shi fully understood the cause and effect.
The content of the ritual·[Blood and Fire] is that you make an oath to "offer a sufficient portion of the enemy" before the nineteenth sunrise in exchange for "a more powerful spirit upon awakening." Skills."
Anyone who violates the oath will be punished by "burning the five internal organs with fire".
Theoretically, when I burn Kenge with the flames of forging, this oath ends here, and the two do not owe each other - it is precisely the reason for "dedication to the road" that makes Kenge great. Parts of the body were reduced to ashes.
As for the current scene.
To put it simply, it means that Dayuan Daotu is very satisfied with his behavior, so he gives extra gifts without paying any price.
"But. Is this "extra gift" really random? Or does it really depend on Daotu's mood?"
But at this moment, Song Shi did not rush to open the light ball; Looking at the brilliant starry sky in the sky, I couldn't help but speak. The young man's expression was a little subtle.
For me, the matter of Kenge is "somewhat difficult but not too difficult". I originally thought that the road would not provide additional gifts.
"Not to mention every single one of the rituals I performed before, nearly one-third were more difficult and better than this one, right?" Song Shi's tone was speechless: "You were quite stingy at that time. Isn’t that generous?”
“Well, it’s better than nothing.” Song Shi sighed and chose to reach out to touch the ball of light.
[Strengthen the effect of a currently held psionic skill]
"Then you must choose "Forging Flame". Um, is there a limit? The intensity of the upper-level psionic skill is too high. Let’s choose? ”
“Okay, then “Accommodate” ”
[On the basis of the original "accommodation" effect, the current upper limit of spiritual energy is increased by one-fifth again]
The moment it was touched, the light group silently collapsed, and countless dust-like fluorescence surged towards Song Shi go.
“Well, it’s not bad.”
While feeling the changes in himself, Song Shi commented.
If you encounter this additional gift in the fourth ring, [Sublimation], it will increase the current spiritual power limit by one-fifth. This is definitely an unimaginable and unpretentious powerful ability, but in the first ring When I met him, I only got a "pretty good" evaluation.
——Of course, a mere [Blood and Fire] ritual cannot achieve that level of gift.
It’s done.
So, taking one last glance at the road, Song Shi closed his eyes.
When it opened again, it had returned to reality.
It is still a low-rent hotel.
The skin is severely aged, the circuit lines are exposed in the wall, and the bed creaks when you sit on it.
The smell of sugar and nicotine lingers in the air forever, as well as the dusty injection needles and condoms that were stuffed under the bed at some point.
Song Shi got out of bed, walked quickly to the window sill, and opened the curtains with a swish.
The dizzying sunshine burst into the low-rent single room of this old hotel, trying to dispel the lingering gloomy atmosphere of the past.
Perhaps due to the original design, the lighting in the entire room was extremely unsatisfactory. Even though Song Shi had pulled the curtains to the maximum, the sunlight was still limited to a small area around him standing at the window. Most of it was still dark.
"Tsk"
Song Shi let out a light tut. Just when he was about to light the foundry flame directly, a communication prompt suddenly lit up from his retina.
[Caller: Jaredan]
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"——He Yue."
On the other end of the video communication, Jaredan looked gloomy. He stretched out his thick knuckles that had been replaced by machines, and pointed at the young man with one lift and one press:
"It has been more than a week, why did your personal file "The job information column has not been updated yet?"
The man's prosthetic eyes lit up with a menacing red light, and his voice sounded like a cannibal: "Where is your job? You don't have a job as a credit guarantee?" , What do you use to borrow money from the bank, and what do you use to pay us back?”
He stood up, making a crackling sound of bones all over his body, and stepped closer to the camera, with that fierce face almost occupying his mind. The entire video communication interface.
“Or are you not looking for a job at all? You are just taking our loan and planning to enjoy it before you die?!”
