"We've finally arrived..."
Two taxis stopped in a residential area near Asakusa in Taito District, Tokyo. Ren Suo and his group got out of the car with their suitcases and prepared to check into the B&B.
The first stop of April travel is Tokyo with its bustling cherry blossoms.
Although this trip was generously sponsored by the wealthy woman Ren Xingmei, their group had a better accommodation strategy than hotels when traveling in Tokyo: B&B.
Qiao Muyi, who was in charge of the travel planning, booked a small villa-sized homestay on Airbnb, which was large enough to meet everyone's living needs. It also had a large space for activities and was not far from the station, making it most suitable for travelers like them who could live together.
Although you can book a hotel, most hotel rooms are very small, and the price of hotels that are not small is much higher than that of B&Bs. Whether it is for entertainment needs, love needs or things to do, B&Bs are very cost-effective.
"What a big house!" Xiaojiu opened the fence, ran around on the grass in the yard, and squatted down curiously to look at the flower pots on the shelf.
After getting the key, Qiao Muyi opened the door and went in. Everyone went in curiously to explore the duplex villa with its cool decoration and spacious living room.
"Very good." The always strict Gu Yueyan gave a rare positive comment: "Compared to a hotel, this feels like returning home."
"It would be even better if we could open up an underground training room and install a spiritual energy gathering device." Dong Chengling looked around and shook his head again: "It's more comfortable to have a small home that is easy to clean. This place is too big, and it takes a lot of time just to keep it clean."
"Really? I think this place is nice." Qiao Muyi put on her indoor shoes, took a big sip of the Pocari Sweat she bought at the airport, sat lazily on the sofa, and said with a smile: "It would be nice to live in a house like this in the future. As for the cleaning problem, don't we have a home security guard who likes cleanliness very much and has a lot of free time?"
Ren Xingmei raised her eyebrows slightly: "We can hire someone to clean. However, if we really buy a townhouse like this in Lianjiang... it will be a bit painful."
Is it just a little painful?!
Everyone suddenly had a deeper understanding of Ren Xingmei's ability to make money.
Even though Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi and Gu Yueyan did not care about money, after all, they had greater goals in life than money, but they had to admit that Ren Xingmei, who was able to acquire such a huge wealth at such a young age, was not necessarily inferior to them in terms of life achievements.
Of course, there are also vulgar women who like money.
Lin Xianyu went over to hug Ren Xingmei with stars in his eyes, rubbing against her and flattering her: "Rich lady, rich lady, we live together now, so we are a family, right? If we are a family, then——"
Lin Xianyu stopped talking halfway because she felt physically in danger. She tilted her head slightly, noticed the strange looks from everyone, and ran away like a cat with its fur standing on end: "Hey, I'm going to the bathroom first!"
"Nyan~"
Ren Suo quickly hugged the black cat that jumped over, blinking his eyes and not daring to speak. Because of Lin Xianyu's words, the living room fell silent for a while, everyone looked at each other, and a new storm was brewing in the silence.
Xiao Jiu finally had enough of the noise in the yard. He came in and noticed that no one was talking. He also found that Lin Xianyu was not there. He pointed a sharp finger at Lin Xianyu: "Xianyu said something wrong again?"
No, Lin Xianyu didn't say anything wrong.
But sometimes the truth is more embarrassing than the falsehood.
Humans can easily forgive others' mistakes, but cannot forgive others' correctness. Mistakes can be corrected, but correctness is a reality that must be accepted.
"I'm going to the second floor to choose a room." Ren Xingmei was the first to break the silence, "Luna, come here."
"I'm going too."
"Let's go together."
In a moment, a group of girls went to the second floor to choose rooms. Even the black cat was taken away by the sister, as if the awkward silence just now had never existed.
Ren Suo heaved a sigh of relief and stayed on the first floor to play with his phone. After nearly 12 hours of buffering, the information of "Tomorrow's Disaster" finally came to an end, and Ren Suo could sort out the changes in the game during this period.
First, there are Dragon King Zhao Huo and Xiao Meng. Xiao Meng's He Dao cultivation level soared to 35% of the fifth turn, and Dragon King Zhao Huo soared to 90% of the fourth turn. Brushing the Panda dungeon once can upgrade Dragon King Zhao Huo.
Apart from the first time, among the other 998 people, 600 of them had their Hedao cultivation levels improved to varying degrees, 10 had their Hedao level cap increased to the fifth turn, 1 had its Hedao level cap increased to the sixth turn, and another had his Hedao level cap increased to the seventh turn, becoming well-known... elite cultivators!
In the year 2049, an era of great monks where monks of the fourth rank are worse than dogs, monks of the fifth rank are everywhere, and monks of the sixth rank have trouble finding jobs, only monks of the seventh rank are the real elite talents!
But... why was the upper limit of their Hedao cultivation level at level four when they were summoned before, but it soared to level seven after the first chapter was uploaded?
On the contrary, the level of basic Hedao cultivation has increased, which Ren Suo can understand.
According to the prompts given by the game, Ren Suo understood that the so-called "future echoes" not only came from 2049, but also included their own 2019. Combined with the game prompts that appeared after the video was played, it was obvious that the increase in the character's cultivation in the game was related to the sensation caused by the video.
That is to say, after Ren Suo uploads the videos of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, all future monks who participate in the battle will receive a bonus of Future Echoes of 2019.
As for why the Future Echo bonus obtained by Dragon King Zhao Huo seems to be so much more than that of others... It may be because he is "famous" all over the world. You can see that some people have already formed a group to visit him online.
According to this logic, Dragon King Zhao Huo's funny style is actually a good thing. The more attention and discussion he gets, the greater the repercussions he will receive in the future, and the faster his cultivation will rise!
Ren Suo was shocked when he suddenly realized the secret of the game!
Dragon King Zhao Huo, in order to save the earth, we have decided that you will be the idol!
Let me see if I can put a microphone in your mouth during the space battle in Chapter 2...
As for the increase in the upper limit of other people's Hedao cultivation, Ren Suo thought about it for a long time and suspected that it was the Small World Game Console that was causing trouble.
Although Ren Suo believes in the Small World game console, can you really glimpse the future of 2049 with a 2019 game console?
One day, one month, one year, Ren Suo believed that the Small World Game Console could do it. But 30 years from now, Ren Suo doubted whether the Small World Game Console was capable of doing it.
It is unknown whether the future will change, but since there are two variables, "Renasser" and "Small World Game Console", even if the future remains largely unchanged, there should be differences in details.
Perhaps some future monks are also high-level monks, but the small world game console missed them;
It is more likely that some future monks will change their life trajectories because of the video "Top Secret Files" and have greater achievements in the future, so the small world game console quickly changed the game information and pretended that nothing had happened.
Ren Suo couldn't confirm the truth, but gaining more powerful monks was always a good thing, so he didn't worry about it.
"Seventh-turn monk, glorious inheritance, Ren Qingqing, comes to slay demons."
"Ren Qingqing, Barrier Monk, Melee Position, deployment cost 18 points"
"Attack: Weak, Defense: Strong, Attack Range: 1 grid"
"Characteristics: Mountain and River Supreme Power: Can intercept two enemies (enhanced after the seventh turn)"
"Hedao Spell: Ten Years Are Not Too Late: Stop attacking the enemy, block count +1, defense +50%, add a layer of defense net every time you are attacked, each layer of defense net can reduce 1% of all damage, up to 10 layers. When the Commoner Sword Emperor is on the battlefield, the defense net cannot reduce damage, but after stacking to 10 layers, it will explode instantly, rebounding 200% of all damage to all enemy units within 5 squares in front."
"Trust: 0%"
"Harmony level: 4th turn 0%"
Turtle shell!
Extremely useful tortoise shell!
Ren Suo immediately thought of how to use this future monk: take the most severe blows and wear the thickest armor!
After activating the Hedao spell, Ren Qingqing can taunt 3 enemies and gain 10% damage reduction through stacking armor, which is enough to stabilize the battlefield situation and allow other units to output comfortably!
If the Commoner Sword Emperor is around, she can even become a powerful output unit. The more she is hit, the higher her burst becomes. Even if she encounters the BOSS power of the Ark troops, as long as she can withstand it, she can blow everything up!
It's a pity that Ren Suo doesn't have a character called Commoner Sword Emperor, and we don't even know who this person is. Commoner and Sword Emperor, this naming style is a bit childish.
But the Commoner Sword Emperor can actually transform Ren Qingqing into a violent output unit. The relationship between these two people must be unusual. It may be that their relationship with the leader of the remnants, Zhao Huo, and the eye of the remnants, Xiao Meng, is even deeper - you know, Xiao Meng can at most increase the damage to Zhao Huo's enemies, while Ren Qingqing has turned from a turtle into a hedgehog!
Such a huge transformation is like the indelible gullies left by rivers on mountains. Ren Suo can almost imagine a tragic love story in his mind.
Okay, time to draw a card!
Although Ren Suo was surprised, happy and annoyed by this sudden trip, he did have a need to travel - he needed to trigger the first draw bonus cards from the card pools in various places!
There are only so many Xianyuan stones, so of course they should all be used to make sharp blades.
In fact, Ren Suo still had some doubts in his heart. If according to the game settings, the closer the person is to Ren Suo, the easier it is to be picked, then the strongest person who is closest to him physically...
It’s the women in this room who can destroy the world right now.
Ren Suo had no doubt that in that era when everyone below the seventh level was an ant, they would definitely become the brightest stars on Earth. Ren Suo's trust in them was just like his belief that he would definitely become the most handsome guy in the future - otherwise, how could he be worthy of them?
So, if Ren Suo draws cards here, will he draw them?
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Ren Suo gets the prize or not. Anyway, they are alive and well in 2019, which means that they will be safe even if they go to the battlefield in 1999.
But...what if?
As long as there was a slight possibility, he was unwilling to let them go to the battlefield. He would rather see himself dancing with Zhao Huo in 1999 than personally sending his girlfriend to the battlefield.
But there was no point in worrying, Ren Suo couldn't control the card drawing. In fact, it didn't matter if they got the cards, Ren Suo could just hide them and not let them go to the battlefield, the only problem was that he lost the fairy source stone.
After thinking for a while, Dong Chengling and the others had already chosen their rooms and came down. Qiao Muyi said, "It's getting late, let's go out for dinner. Hey, I originally wanted to go somewhere farther away, but now I can only find a restaurant nearby and then go to Sensoji Temple at night..."
After a two-hour delay and another 4-hour and 30-minute flight, plus Fanying was an hour ahead of Xuanguo, it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening.
Ren Suo suddenly remembered something and called Xiao Jiu over. In the latter's cute and confused eyes, Ren Suo stretched out his sinful hands and rubbed Xiao Jiu's fox head angrily.
"Well - big brother is bad!" Xiao Jiu broke free from Ren Suo's hand, trotted back to Dong Chengling, stuck out her tongue and made a face at Ren Suo, then ran back and grabbed Ren Suo's hand, pouting and saying, "Touch me gently."
"Why are you playing around all of a sudden? Why don't you pet the little girl when you have a cat?" Qiao Muyi looked at Ren Suo suspiciously: "She's still a child..."
"I suddenly found that our Xiaojiu has become even cuter, so I couldn't help myself..." Ren Suo smiled embarrassedly.
"All crimes are committed involuntarily..." Lin Xianyu muttered, and then Gu Yueyan hit her on the back of the head: "I can't help hitting you either."
Qiao Muyi tilted her head and glanced at Xiaojiu, then let out a long sigh: "Hey~~ You found that Xiaojiu has become cute~~"
Hearing Qiao Muyi's increasing negative emotions, Ren Suo's face turned black - You're jealous even of a child! ?
Ren Suo said, "Maybe it's because we've changed places. I think you guys have become prettier and cuter. Let me take a closer look..."
In a flash, Ren Suo used "Ghost Sprint" and gently stroked their faces and hair with lightning speed. Gu Yueyan was slightly startled, Ren Xingmei stretched out her hand but grabbed nothing, Qiao Muyi's mouth corners slightly raised, Dong Chengling blinked, and the black cat, whose chin was tickled, squinted comfortably.
"Let's go, let's go eat!" Ren Suo ran out.
Ren Suo's sudden bold move made everyone look at each other - was it the right decision to travel?
On the way to the restaurant, Ren Suo took a deep breath, opened the "Tomorrow's Disaster" APP on his mobile phone, and entered the search interface!
Xiao Jiu, Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, Gu Yueyan...Except for Lin Xianyu, whose luck seems to be similar to his, Ren Suo has borrowed as much luck as possible from all the koi!
One shot hits the target! One draw sells it out!
New card pool: "The Girl's Fate", Thousand Links Search!
In fact, Ren Suo could probably guess that when it came to Fanying's high-level monk, it was undoubtedly one of the internationally renowned female monks - "Gun Tianxia No. 1" Sakura Anzi!
If there really is an eighth-level cultivator in the Fanying card pool, it is most likely her!
Ren Suo just hoped that there would be a few more seventh-turn monks in the card pool. Now there are only so many chess pieces that can be used, which is really too shabby.
When he opened the package, this time it was... golden light! Not the rainbow flame that Dragon King Zhao Huo had drawn last time!
"Search successful!"
"We have found 998 future fourth-level monks!"
Only two units shipped again?
"We have found an eighth-rank monk!"
"Just fight. Pain is easier to understand than anything else."
"The eighth rank monk, the best in the world with a spear, Sakura Kyoko, is here to take my life."
As expected, it was Sakura Kyoko, and Ren Suo was not surprised at all.
But the next second, Ren Suo secretly decided that he would touch his girlfriends and Xiao Jiu every time he drew a card——
"We have found an eighth-rank monk!"
"Instead of thinking about how to die beautifully, it is better to think about how to live beautifully until the last moment."
"The eighth rank monk, the sharpshooter girl, Mizuhashi Asami, is here to protect me."
