MTL - Attack Stream of Life-Chapter 12
"Go, take you on a pilgrimage."
After walking out of the tasker building, the system suddenly said this.
"This is the first stop for all novice taskers. It is a place similar to the monument of merit, where all S-level taskers will leave a trace of themselves, so you can worship the boss at close range. Some of them are still alive and active in various post-apocalyptic worlds, legends that we simply can't touch."
"Only S-rank missionaries?"
"Only the most powerful and special taskers can appear there, so it is called the pilgrimage road." The system took him to open a door, and the ice-cold mist of ice was blowing towards his face, but the light It was plenty, and the eyes were almost stinged by the sun.
After a while, his eyes got used to it, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong. He looked closely, what is this cloud floating under his feet? Looking around again, there are islands suspended in the air, one by one, high and low, stretching from the foot to the end of the line of sight.
"A small island represents an S-rank tasker."
"That's a lot."
"No, 99% of them are no longer there, and the mortality rate of S-level taskers is very high. Many people have even just upgraded from A-level taskers to S-level, doing I failed on my first S-rank mission."
"Didn't you prepare some extra points for passing the level?"
The world disappears together, so the mortality rate is so high. This kind of small world on the verge of destruction, its defense is very strong, and the power of the main brain cannot reach there, so everything depends on the host itself. Like those materials in the system, virtual classrooms, etc. , can't be used in the S-class world. The only skills that can be used are the skills and special items that the host himself has learned before. This is also the difficulty."
"Many taskers with S-level level would rather stay in the A-level world because of this. But no matter how powerful taskers are, they will die one day. If you want to live longer and longer, just You need the heart of the world to combine yourself with a small world. If that world does not die, the quest person will not die. Only the S-rank quest has the opportunity to obtain the world's heart, and for this reason, I have to do the S-rank quest."
"Longing, but also fear. This is the S-level mission." The system finally concluded.
Qing Chuan thoughtful, "Is there a flow of life here?"
"Yes. I'll take you there."
Qingchuan saw the scenery on both sides regress quickly, but the body was stable and there was no wind. In a few seconds, he reached a floating island in the shape of a mountain. The system took him to jump off the cloud, Land firmly on the ground.
"Huh? This island... looks vibrant." Every floating island here is different, with all the elements in the shape, but this small island is like an uninhabited earth, without any artificial Traces are only plants, animals other than humans, and fungi. He looked around and couldn't find any similar buildings.
"Here, the host of the life system, Miss Guanshui, an S-level tasker. She is one of the very few S-level taskers of the life stream. For well-known reasons, the main combat power of the life stream is to provide special Props and all kinds of support are actually not suitable for taking the lead. But Miss Guanshui is an exception. Before she became an S-level tasker, she had her own field, the plant field, which contained many powerful plants, so she had a high The combat power of ordinary people. As long as you get another heart of life, you can have your own world."
Realm.
Qingchuan wrote down a new noun.
"Let's see the mark she left. It's a clip from the completion of her first S-class mission. There is one on each island, the first S-class mission. Finished editing. Even if we don't learn anything, it's good to see and gain some insight."
They went straight on, through a dense forest, and found a lake that was as green as a gem.
"It's in the river. Just put your hand in it."
Qingchuan reached into the river.
It was like the sky in the fire area was billowing with dark clouds, and below it was the blood-red earth, the black river, and the dark green things that resembled plants, with sharp teeth and a bright red tongue.
As far as I can see, there are many dead bones, animal and human.
Holding what looked like a sword, the other hand condensed a glowing green thing.
Not far from her, there was a thin gray-black human who was eating something like an armored mouse and looking at the girl greedily. If it weren't for the fear of the sword in the opponent's hand, he might have rushed over.
Qing Chuan walked over, he was just a shadow in this world and could not affect anything.
What he saw in the girl's hand was actually a strange-looking plant, long, with a circle of jewel-like flowers scattered on its head, swaying happily from side to side.
Qingchuan has been following her. The girl is not walking all the time. Every few kilometers she walks, she puts down the plant, and the gem flowers on the plant's head will appear different luster. She will carefully record it and organize it into a book.
It took him a long time to understand that she was observing and recording the environment here.
Along the way, he saw a lot of hungry people and animals, red land without any life everywhere, even if there were occasional black magical plants, most of them were hunters.
There are still many abnormal places, such as talking and singing, fighting each other and so on. He saw the girl again, she was still holding the book and kept recording.
Is this a test plot for her planting? Qingchuan was thoughtful.
Occasionally, some hideous-looking creatures come to make trouble, but they are driven away by the plants in the land. Even though these plants look cute, their combat effectiveness is really not low. However, plants with such high combat power still suffered heavy casualties because they were not adapted to the land here. Only a very few survived, and some mutations occurred.
The dead plants were uprooted by her, and new ones were planted and recorded again.
Where did that steady stream of plants come from? Is it the so-called field?
The scene changed again. The original red land has been covered with lush plants. These plants are like a combination of native plants and foreigners, which can fully adapt to the environment here, or even better. They produce a lot of fruit and edible parts, thus attracting some small animals to settle here. Then there are humans, as there are several residential-like buildings in the distance.
The breath of life began to appear in the place where it was like a haunted **** at the beginning.
The girl also seems to have grown up, and she is surrounded by many people who are similar to her, and they are all doing one thing, learning to grow. Girls give them plant seeds and teach them how to farm.
The scene is constantly changing, there are more and more edible plants, and more and more animals and people.
"!" Qing Chuan blinked, the emerald lake was still in front of him, and he came back.
"How do you feel?" The system drifted over.
At first, Qingchuan thought that the so-called world on the verge of destruction should be a sudden catastrophe, such as meteorites, super volcanic eruptions, end-of-life viruses, predatory alien civilizations... I didn't expect this A type of warm boiled frog.
It is difficult to complete the task with any other person. The difficulty of that task is not in protecting oneself, but in how to push the world away from the track of destruction.
The solution given by the tasker is to cultivate new edible and reproductive plants. All food chains start from plants. With plants, there are animals, and there are humans. Qingchuan has realized that the opponent's most powerful reliance is actually the 'field' that has countless plants.
"Realm, what?"
"A special spiritual space, the predecessor of the field is the spiritual sea, and the spiritual sea is a special space created by forging the spiritual power to a certain extent and is connected with your life. From spiritual power to spirit The sea is the first step. From the spiritual sea to the realm, it is the second step. The realm to the small world is the last step. Oh, these are too far away from us, and the host has not even cultivated spiritual power."
Human beings, when they want to become bad, can be bad beyond imagination.
"Strange, can't you go to the world of immortals to get some secrets? I found a secret in the world of martial arts last time."
"It's not universal. Ninety-nine percent of these secrets and cultivation methods in the small world are not universal. Only a very small part of them is amazingly universal. This is completely unattainable, it is better to save money to buy it in the system, the system sells the general version, but the price is a little more expensive.”
It's more than expensive, it's outrageously expensive, and any martial arts book to strengthen your body costs thousands of diamonds, why don't you grab it? The system routinely complains about the mastermind.
"Who is the fastest upgrade to the S-rank tasker? How many small worlds did you use?"
The system became vigilant, "What do you want?"
"I'm curious, can't you satisfy my curiosity?"
The system thinks about it, yes, human's strong psychology, "Once there was a tasker, he had an adventure in the first test world, that is, the first test world, and got the most important thing in the small world. The blessing of a powerful group of wizards, so his body was also transformed into a demigod physique. Later, in a certain world, he created a general-purpose spiritual forging method, which made his subsequent tasks extremely smooth, and every time he was high. After passing the test, it took only six worlds to upgrade to S-rank."
"Alive?"
"Did you see that? The whole floating island like a cocoon belongs to that person. The black coffin system, also called the funeral system, according to our network, he took the killing road, Killed all the way, bones paved the way. Yes, still alive. When do you see a young man with platinum hair and blue eyes, who looks like a holy father, makes people think of 'Hallelujah' when they see him '' BGM, that's him. Having said that, it's rare to be able to become an S-rank tasker."
"Those who do not have adventures and talents, either leave forever, or climb hard at a certain stage. I advise you, don't always try to do something big, the heights are too cold, and there are ordinary people too. Ordinary is good. The flow of life is really not suitable for rocket upgrades."
"How long will it take to upgrade to S rank if I follow the steps?"
"Look, your last trial world was actually a D-level world difficulty, and then you passed with a high score, so you directly transfer to group D. If you go step by step, from group E to group D at least Four worlds are required, and the task completion degree is high, and two worlds are enough. In addition, you can choose a single task, which is a wasteland task, which is more dangerous, and you can jump three levels at a time after completion. You can do the math. "
"It's just one step at a time, it doesn't seem to take many times."
"The tasker can choose to go to the advanced level, or stay at the current level. You can move forward or stagnate, but you cannot step back."
After the pilgrimage road, they went to the commercial street. I didn't expect that there are such places as the commercial street. It's just that what's being sold is a little unusual, and the seller is also unusual.
"These are taskers who have given up doing tasks. They earn points by buying and selling, and then roam around in the small world, and come out to do business during the holidays to make money. There are also such people. A lot... No, how should I put it, it should be a lot. I don't want to move forward, and I don't want to die, so I just mix it up first. Some people can get out after a while, and some can't... What's your expression on the host?"
"..." I just didn't expect that the system that had been mixed in the low-level world all the way would also have such a consciousness, I was too surprised.
"I'm not the same as them, I am!... That's... Forget it, I won't tell you, and you won't understand. If you like it, you can negotiate the price, or you can put The special items that I don’t want are put on consignment here. These are the hosts of the life stream who put them on consignment here. It will be cheaper than selling them to the main brain, but it will take some time.”
In the end, it is a community of magical missionaries. The roads are different from others. They are staggered and three-dimensional, as if children put together three-dimensional puzzles, but whether it is an upside-down road or sideways On the road, they stand on it with a normal standing feeling. Sometimes it feels amazing, because when you feel like you are walking normally, a path crosses from below and rushes towards the sky, and there are people walking on it, even looking down at you silently.
Then they saw a strange two-dimensional building.
The front is flat, like painted doors and windows. The back is also flat, and the guests seem to come out from the inside through a layer of membrane. But from the side, you can't see it, not even a single line. Completely two-dimensional, no doubt.
"Tickets are sold here. There are tourist tickets for entertainment venues and resort worlds, you can have anything you want. Even if you want a western bliss and paradise, there is no problem . But remember that you only have three months of vacation. If you exceed the time limit, you will be randomly thrown into a small world by the main brain."
After walking for a while, they saw many pairs of men and women, and there were also one-to-many combinations. There was a big fish man with two hairy feet and a fish head on it. The owner of Haifang.
Murloc spit out a huge bubble at them, and the people in the bubble disappeared.
"That's where the marriage license is." The system said.
"?!" This is Qingchuan.
"Is it strange? Don't you humans just like this sense of ritual? Don't worry about it, maybe you will leave in a few days, super casual."
They moved on, and they came across a huge, no, huge, but very strange building. Because this thing is a big spinning top: spinning, jumping, I don't stop.
"That's the Time Hotel. The most famous place to meet friends nearby is very expensive, especially expensive, but it is said to be worth the money. I don't know how it is worth. If you find a partner, you can come and try it.”
"Ah, that drink shop, is it new? It looks very good."
"This is the clothing area, let me see, the store is suitable for human beings with the image of the host... Both of them can be used. Next time you want to buy clothes, you can come directly, it is more trendy than the ones you can buy in the system many."
The system was in a happy mood all the way. Qing Chuan was able to accompany him at first, but slowly he could no longer maintain his smile. Although his legs and feet were not sore, his heart was about to become numb.
"System, I have never asked your self-defined gender, are you a girl?"
"Eh? How did you know?"
Qing Chuan just smiled weakly.
Silence is better than sound.
