Chapter 18 The strange former owner's terrifying upgrade method...
Ji An left, and he could not hear what those people were saying about him behind his back, but he could guess it, and he was too lazy to pay attention. Facts speak louder than words, and when he really figures out something, these people will know that it hurts to hit themselves in the face.
On the way, Kong Zhongcheng looked at Ji An frequently, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't dare to. Ji An was confused, "If you have anything to ask, just ask it."
"Well, Ji An, are the space storage props you mentioned real? Which one can you research?" Kong Zhongcheng asked.
Tangning also looked at Ji An. She really admired Ji An's fighting ability from the bottom of her heart. Even if Ji An told her that he could beat Gu Jinsheng, Tangning would choose to believe it without thinking. But scientific research? Tangning hesitated.
"You ask me, of course I can." Ji An didn't think that this was impossible. After all, wasn't his space necklace just a space storage tool?
Since it can exist, it means that its existence is reasonable. As long as we find its energy conservation and mass conversion, we can crack the secret of the space storage prop.
Even if the space necklace is a product of the ancient cultivation world, there may be another scientific system. Ji An believes that he can also crack it. If you think about it carefully, the current superpowers and the cultivators in the cultivation novels are actually similar.
Generally speaking, the true qi of a cultivator is stored in the Dantian, and can be condensed into a Nascent Soul in the Dantian in the later stage. The supernatural power of a supernatural person comes from the brain, forming a supernatural crystal nucleus in the brain.
In this way, the Nascent Soul corresponds to the Crystal Core, but the storage location is different. The reason for this difference in storage location may be the different power systems. As long as this power system is thoroughly understood, it is very feasible to use this power system to create a space storage prop.
Thousands of years ago, cars and airplanes existed only in human imagination?
Ji An always believes in one thing: there is nothing that cannot be done, only things that cannot be imagined!
"A space storage item like the ones in cultivation novels?" Kong Zhongcheng rubbed his hands, eager to try it out.
"Basically the same, there may be slight differences." Ji An replied.
While answering Kong Zhongcheng's questions, Ji An observed the situation at the Jing City base.
The public security here is very good, and people with special powers coexist peacefully with ordinary people. Although some people with special powers may be arrogant and condescending, they will not bully ordinary people at will.
Sometimes people with special abilities would stop to buy from ordinary people's stalls, and they would not force them to buy because of their special ability status. Ordinary people did not feel uneasy or humble in front of special abilities, but were more equal.
Such an attitude requires relatively fair treatment, which cannot be formed overnight but must be a long process.
The Jingshi base should have been rebuilt, and many bungalows have reappeared in the base. Some bungalows are even very primitive adobe houses, and there are also some blue brick and tile houses.
It’s hard to believe that this was the capital city with all the lights, wine and women and tall buildings before the end of the world.
The adobe houses amidst the hustle and bustle of the city really give people a sense of disconnection. It is this sense of disconnection, one impossibility after another, that makes up the end of the world. It is also a unique landscape of the end of the world.
Kong Zhongcheng took Ji An to a high-rise building with about 17 or 18 floors. The building was located in the center of the Jingshi Base, very close to the Jingshi Base Command Center, and only a 20-minute walk away.
Of course, this refers to the speed of the psychic. After awakening the superpower, their physical fitness will be stronger than that of ordinary people, and their speed will also be much faster. The speed of non-speed psychic is 2 to 3 times that of ordinary people.
The elevator in this building still has power. Kong Zhongcheng took Ji An in and pressed the fifth floor button, smiling and saying, "Fifth floor, how about it? This floor is fine, even if the elevator is out of power, it's not tiring to climb.
But don't worry, the battery won't run out easily. There's a lightning-type psychic living in this building, and he charges the elevator every day."
As they were talking, they reached the fifth floor. The door on the left side of the elevator opened, and Kong Zhongcheng led him out. "This building has one elevator per household. Except for the cleaning lady, no one else can go up without your floor card. Of course, you can climb up the stairs, but I guess no one is stupid enough to do that. This building is full of high-level psychics."
"Zhongcheng, now you're here, we've finished moving." The door of the building was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out. The man was wearing home clothes and looked very easy-going, but his back was straight and his eyes were sharp, and he looked like a superior.
"Uncle Gu." Kong Zhongcheng said, "This is Ji An, the new resident here."
"Hello." The man took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Ji An, "Nice to meet you, my name is Gu Lianyun."
"Hello, my name is Gu Jinlan." A head popped out from behind the man and looked at Ji An with a smile, his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.
This family all have the surname Gu, and Gu Jinsheng also has the surname Gu. I wonder if this family has any relationship with Gu Jinsheng.
But no matter whether it’s related or not, this family is moving away anyway.
"Hello, my name is Ji An, and I'm a dual-system psychic in spirit and space." Ji An said.
"I know you. Your deeds have spread. You were able to break into the zombie lair single-handedly and bring with you an ordinary person who has not awakened any special powers. Young man, you are very capable!" Gu Lianyun praised sincerely.
"Thank you." If someone else was praised like this, they might blush and feel embarrassed, but Ji An didn't. His performance was worthy of such praise, so he thanked him politely.
Gu Lianyun on the other side was obviously not a pedantic person. He did not think that Ji An was arrogant because of his straightforward performance. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and patted Ji An on the shoulder, "Young man, youthful vigor is good!"
"Uncle Gu, is there anything you haven't moved yet? Can I help you?" Kong Zhongcheng asked.
"Your aunt has some things in the room. Can you help take a look?" Gu Lianyun replied.
Ji An followed Kong Zhongcheng inside and found that the house was more than 100 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. It can be seen that the original owner lived a very romantic life. There were many interesting small decorations in the room, as well as green plants that were rare in the end times. There was a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging overhead, and some calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall.
There are luxurious leather sofas and a soft Persian carpet on the floor. Stepping on it barefoot gives you the feeling of sinking into the clouds.
There is a 40-inch color TV in the living room. The TV cabinet should be made of solid wood. Ji An couldn't recognize what kind of wood it was, but it looked very textured.
"Are we going to live here from now on?" Tangning asked quietly, eyes full of surprise. "This place is so beautiful, even more exquisite than where Tang Tang lives. It's so blissful."
Ji An nodded, and was very satisfied with the place he lived in. No matter what, living comfortably would always make one feel better.
Kong Zhongcheng helped carry a lot of things out of the house and said hello to Ji An, "Ji An, the elevator card is on the coffee table, remember to take it with you when you go out, otherwise you can't get on the elevator and can only climb the stairs.
The things in the house are all left to you by Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu. If you like them, keep them. If you don’t like them, you can always replace them. We are leaving now.”
"Okay," Ji An replied. Tangning couldn't contain her excitement and started to check each room.
Kong Zhongcheng walked to the door and found that no one was following him, so he turned around and called out, "Tang Ning, let's go!"
"Huh?" Tangning was stunned. "Where else should I go? Don't I live here?"
"Of course not." Kong Zhongcheng replied: "The boss said how can single men and women live together? There is another resident in this house, and there is no room for you. This whole building is full of people with special abilities. You are an ordinary person and it is not suitable for you to live here."
"Oh, I see." Tangning looked at Ji An.
Ji An asked, "Where does she live?"
"Don't worry, she lives in a place where people with special abilities and ordinary people live together. Although the accommodation conditions are not as good as here, they are still pretty good and her safety is absolutely guaranteed. Over there is a single apartment, one room per person, which is just right for Miss Tang." Kong Zhongcheng explained.
Ji An nodded, and after everyone left, Ji An began to observe the rooms. With three sides facing the sun, he had to admit that this house was really nice.
One of the bedrooms was converted into a study, and the bookshelves were filled with books. Ji An flipped through the books and found that there were all kinds of books, and some of them were professional books.
Both bedrooms were empty, with clean quilts and mattresses, and it was obvious that no one lived there, so Ji An chose the one he liked and moved in.
Ji An was sitting at the head of the bed, and was about to inject his mental power into the space necklace to check it again when he heard the doorbell ring. He thought it was another tenant coming back, so he went to open the door.
But he found a gentle and intellectual woman in her fifties standing outside the door. She was the hostess of the house that had just moved out. She smiled gently and said, "I was too busy just now to get to know you. My name is Dai Xin. This is our first meeting, so I don't have any gifts to give you. This is the fish sauce I made myself. I hope you like it."
Ji An was a little puzzled, but he could see that the other party had no ill intentions. On the contrary, it seemed that he wanted to get close to him, so he accepted it.
"Thank you. My name is Ji An. Please let me know if you need any help in the future." Ji An said politely.
"Then I won't be shy if I need you in the future." Dai Xin said affectionately and half-jokingly.
"OK."
After Dai Xin left, Ji An opened the fish sauce and smelled it. It smelled delicious. He took a bite and it smelled even better. It was the smell of a home before the end of the world.
Ji An has been an orphan since he was a child. He has no home, so he particularly likes this kind of home taste. It can be said that this gift really touched his heart and made him feel very warm.
Apart from these, the gift itself is not light.
Due to the mutated water sources in the apocalypse, seafood is almost unavailable, even big fish are not available, let alone small fish for making fish sauce, which are even harder to find.
Ji An liked this gift very much. He put Xiao Yujiang into the space and continued to explore the space necklace.
On the way to escape, although Ji An cracked the secret of the space necklace, he was in too much of a hurry at the time and didn't have time to check it carefully.
This time, Ji An's careful inspection revealed the special features of the space necklace.
The space inside the necklace was pitch black, and Ji An didn’t know how to describe it. That kind of black was not a normal black, but like the pitch-black sky after sunset when there were no stars.
Fortunately, he used his mental power to take and check things from the space. If he used his naked eyes, he would not be able to see anything.
The space seemed to be as large as a football field in cubic meters, but Ji An discovered that it seemed to be able to expand in four directions, up, down, left and right, and its actual area was not that large.
However, it was now blocked by an invisible barrier, preventing Ji An's mental power from exploring deeper in the four directions.
In fact, the space can indeed be expanded and upgraded. When Ji An was a ghost, he saw Tang Tang upgrading the space.
But the crystal core that Tang Tang used to upgrade the space made Ji An sick. Even if Ji An could not upgrade the space in his lifetime, he would not use that method - the crystal core of the mutant.
Yes, Tang Tang used the crystal core in the brain of a human being with special abilities to upgrade the space.
At first, Tang Tang also wanted to use zombie crystal cores to upgrade the space, but unfortunately, the space necklace did not like zombie crystal cores. Even if Tang Tang put the zombie crystal cores into the space, the space would not absorb them.
Later, Tang Tang accidentally got a superpower crystal core and wanted to store it in the space, but she accidentally discovered that the space could absorb superpower crystal cores. Since then, Tang Tang began to collect superpower crystal cores to upgrade the space intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Ji An would never choose this method.
Ji An didn't think that this was the only way to advance in space. Things that could only be advanced by using human lives were the characteristics of evil things.
The space necklace gave Ji An a very comfortable feeling, a very holy feeling. Ji An believed it was a holy object, but he did not believe it was an evil object.
There is also a spiritual spring in the space. The spring water is clear and clean. The water in this spring has a healing effect, but it is only level one at this time, and can heal minor injuries of ordinary people and level one psychics.
If the space necklace is still in Tang Tang's hands, and Tang Tang finds out that the space can absorb the crystal cores of the superpowers to upgrade, she will do the same and use the crystal cores of the healing superpowers and water superpowers to upgrade the spring water.
It turns out that approach does work.
But Ji An always felt that a miracle like space should not be upgraded in such a bloody way, there must be other ways to upgrade.
No matter what, Tang Tang has not discovered such an evil upgrade method yet, and the space and spring water have not been polluted, so there is still time for everything.
