Chapter 17 Second Switch
"Obtained Level 22 authority from Lorin Tower. Please confirm whether to proceed with the second switch?"
Hearing this long-awaited voice, Fang Yuteng stood up from his chair.
Gain level 22 clearance?
I have only mastered 6 spells, and I haven't finished accumulating magic power yet.
Doesn't the authority of this Lorin Tower have anything to do with the level of the mage?
Fang Yu noticed two points: First, the voice coming from the sea of consciousness was talking about the authority of Lorinta, not the authority of the Rubik's Cube.
2. The voice says switching, not transmission.
If you think about it carefully, when I returned to the real world from this so-called Lorin Tower, the voice also mentioned switching.
Switch what?
Fang Yu did not make a choice, but took a sports backpack, put all three books in it, and put a sports water bottle filled with one and a half liters of electrolyte drink and two kilograms of beef jerky in it.
He has taken photos and scanned the three books and made them into electronic versions. If he travels back to the Lorraine Tower this time, he can just return the three books and see if he can borrow new ones.
Afterwards, Fang Yu took out an iPod Touch that had been idle for a long time and put his 10,000 mAh power bank into the backpack.
Finally, Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and went back to the dormitory. She took out a pair of Xie Ruilin's diamond earrings from the cabinet. Each earring had a 30-point 3ex cut diamond.
I had never bought loose diamonds before, so I had to be the victim of this scam again. When I get back this time, I must find a way to buy loose diamonds and buy some, just in case.
The market price of a 10-point loose diamond of average quality is a few hundred yuan, and a good quality cut one is just over a thousand yuan. A 30-point one is only two to three thousand yuan now. The price of this pair of earrings is enough to buy seven or eight loose diamonds of the same size.
I heard that there are companies in Yuzhou that can now mass-produce jewelry-grade cultured diamonds. You might also want to keep an eye on it. Since diamonds are called magic crystals in Lorinta, they may be used more and more in the future, so reducing costs is imperative.
I just don't know whether the light screen can accept cultured diamonds.
Still have to find a way to make money.
Fang Yu put the two earrings into his pocket. Alas, Wang Xiaoya’s birthday is on October 10th. Originally, these things were intended to be given to Wang Xiaoya as a birthday present, but now he would just use them as an emergency gift. Maybe he wouldn’t need them this time.
After returning to Wenhui Garden, Fang Yu locked the door, drew the curtains, turned on all the lights, put on a fully loaded sports backpack, held the folding bicycle with his left hand, and grabbed the armrest of the sofa with his right hand.
"Confirm the switch." Fang Yu took a deep breath and made a calm choice.
Just like the last time when he traveled through time without any awareness, in a flash, there was no dizziness, no passage with colorful lights. In just a moment, the surrounding scene changed, and Fang Yu was already in the hall of the giant tower.
Lorin Tower should be the name of this giant tower.
Fang Yu was basically certain that the sound that appeared in his consciousness was related to the Rubik's Cube, and it should have been emitted by this Rubik's Cube.
Fang Yu held his breath and entered the sea of consciousness. The Rubik's Cube was still spinning quietly inside. Above the Rubik's Cube, a countdown was floating: 07:58:22, 07:58:21...
Does this countdown mean that he can stay here for eight hours? Fang Yu secretly guessed.
Check your belongings.
The clothes on his body were intact, the earrings in his trouser pocket were not missing, the backpack and the items inside were intact, and the folding bicycle in his left hand could be opened and ridden normally.
All of this means that you can bring items into the Lorin Tower.
But at that time, his right hand was still holding the armrest of the sofa, but the sofa did not appear in the tower.
I see.
If my guess is correct, you can carry items during the "switching" process, and the scope of portable items is "within your controllable range."
It is obvious that the "controllable range" in the "switching" rule is defined by "common sense".
Backpacks, bicycles, and earrings in trouser pockets are all items that can be "controlled" by people within common sense.
The sofa is considered to be an object that should not be controlled by humans outside of common sense. Even if you grab the armrest of the sofa with your right hand, the sofa will not appear in the Lorraine Tower after "switching".
The same should apply to the process of "return".
Next time you come, try lifting the sofa.
The scene around him was exactly the same as what he saw when he first arrived here three days ago. Fang Yu took out his iPod Touch, plugged in the power bank, turned it on, adjusted the system time, and then placed the two things in the middle of the hall.
Countless light screens in the hall were still flashing, and Fang Yu covered his palm print on one of the light screens.
TR17328 March 21st...
The last time seemed to be on this date. Is the system broken, or does time here also stop when I'm not here?
Or is it that time flows very slowly here, and three days on Blue Planet may only be a few minutes here?
Fang Yu looked at the iPod Touch in the middle of the hall. This time he was going to leave it here and check it next time he came to see if the time had changed.
"Level 22 clearance confirmed, services within the clearance will be listed shortly."
Sure enough, the authority was upgraded by one level, and new service content appeared on the light screen.
"library"
"Professor Jorz's Paid Q&A"
"Professor Jorz's paid Q&A? Are there still living people in this tower?" Fang Yu looked around and suddenly felt a little creepy.
No, probably not.
In the images previously shown by the Cube, this Lorraine Tower had been home to at least tens of thousands of mages, but now, not a single one was to be seen. Whether it was the city within the tower or the ruins outside, it seemed as if the place had suffered a catastrophic catastrophe, with no living creature left.
Then, Professor Yorz's paid Q&A session should be the service that low-authority mages could enjoy before the destruction of this place.
If that's the case, it would be a pity. After the authority is upgraded to level 22, there is only one more service than level 23, and this service cannot be used.
It's just like robbing 2,000 BP machines and hoarding them, getting sentenced to ten years, and then after getting released hoping to sell these 2,000 BP machines to make a fortune, only to find that even the service desk is gone.
Fang Yu sighed and clicked on the library first.
In the library interface, in addition to the borrow button, there is also a return button.
Fang Yu clicked return, and a hole appeared in the wall behind the light screen with a rumbling sound.
Fang Yu took out the three books from his sports backpack and threw them back into the hole. Then the screen showed options to continue borrowing and return the deposit.
Fang Yu chose to continue borrowing. He scrolled down the menu for a long time and was disappointed to find that although the authority had been upgraded by one level, the selectable books were still the ones he had seen before, and no new book titles appeared.
The upper limit for borrowing books remains at three and has not increased.
Potions (I)
The Wall of Will: A Brief Analysis of the Buffett Training Method
Introduction to the School of Enchantment
Fang Yu selected three books and clicked confirm. After a moment, the hole in the wall behind the light screen opened again, and the three books were thrown at Fang Yu's feet by an invisible force.
Fang Yu opened "Potions (I)" and took out his cell phone to start taking pictures page by page.
Fang Yu glanced at the phone screen in confusion, "Why are all the photos I took flowers?"
The photo on the screen was covered with distorted stripes similar to moiré patterns. The shape of the book could be vaguely seen, but it was completely impossible to make out the handwriting on it.
It was obvious that those three books could be photographed in Da Zhou.
Fang Yu opened the photo album and found the photo of Arcane Sprout taken in the dormitory. It was indeed the same as a normal photo, without any blurry spots.
Is the phone camera broken?
Fang Yu ran to the center of the hall, picked up the unused iPod Touch, turned on the camera, and took a picture of the surroundings.
The photos taken still show circles of moiré patterns.
Is there some interference here?
Fang Yu thought about it and put the three books into his sports backpack.
I originally wanted to photograph three books and then borrow three more. It seems impossible to finish photographing all the books within my permission in one go in the eight hours today.
Fang Yu smacked his lips regretfully. Well, in that case, let's first find out what else is in this Lorin Tower.
The entire hall was completely empty, with no entrances or exits except for the corridor leading from the outside. Fang Yu walked around but didn't find anything worth studying, so he simply got on his bike and prepared to go take a look at the city inside the tower outside the corridor.
The last time I came here, I was exhausted and stumbled into the hall without searching the city inside the tower carefully. This time I have enough supplies, so I have to see if there is anything valuable in this city.
Fang Yu got on his bike, passed through the long corridor, and saw the bright sunshine again.
Fang Yu picked up his phone and took a picture of the city outside, but still couldn't form a clear image.
It seems that this kind of interference exists as long as it is within the range of Lorin Tower.
Fang Yu completely gave up the idea of trying to achieve everything at once and rode leisurely on the road in this city that looked like a future city.
Every building in the city is still protected by an invisible force and is inaccessible.
Fang Yu estimated that this should be some kind of access control mechanism, and only people with corresponding permissions can enter.
Fang Yu was not in a hurry. He tried every building to see if he could get in. What if he encountered one without access control? Wouldn't that be breaking into the building?
Fang Yu walked around for three or four hours. When he was tired, he stopped to drink some water and eat some beef jerky. The urban area inside the tower was not particularly large, but it was nearly 20 square kilometers, which was about the same size as a smaller district in Haixi City.
Fang Yu walked and stopped, examining anything that looked new. After four hours, he hadn't even explored a third of the area.
It’s worth mentioning that the municipal facilities are quite complete, and public toilets can be found every few hundred meters.
Judging from the appearance of the buildings alone, the city seems to be divided into six areas with the central tower as the center, and each area has different functions.
"Huh? Why is the screen on this cabinet lit?" Fang Yu stopped the car. There was a brass cabinet on the roadside. On the front of the cabinet was a light screen similar to the one in the circular hall and an operating table with levers and buttons. On the light screen were icons of various bottles.
Fang Yu had seen many such cabinets on the roadside before, and he had also gone to look at them, but he hadn't figured out anything. But this cabinet was a little different. The light screen on the cabinet was on.
"1st level healing potion, 1st level vitality potion, 1st level wisdom potion, 1st level strength potion, 1st level speed potion, 1st level mana potion, acclimatization potion, growth potion, strong acid, underwater breathing potion, slippery oil, ethereal oil, sharp oil..."
Fang Yu tried to pull the lever, and the selection cursor on the light screen moved accordingly. Fang Yu's eyes lit up, he pulled the lever to select the wisdom potion, and pressed the OK button on the console.
"The price is 55 gold browns. Please pay at the coin slot." The characters on the light screen flashed.
It really is a vending machine!
As expected of a highly developed magical civilization, these magical potions are actually sold freely in vending machines.
What is a gold brown? Aren't diamonds used as currency here?
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, took out an earring from his pocket, removed the diamond on it, and threw it into the coin slot of the vending machine.
The text on the screen changed: "5.13 magic crystals have been paid. Please wait."
5.13 Magic Crystals? A 10-point diamond is worth 1 Magic Crystal, and this diamond is 30 points, but the vending machine rates it at 5 Magic Crystals. It seems the bigger the diamond, the more valuable it is here.
