Chapter 279: "I hope that day will never come"
【December 4, evening 18:05】
The craze on the World Forum had nothing to do with Su Mingan for the time being. He turned on the Do Not Disturb mode.
At this moment, the ice-white door was opening in front of him.
After each world instance, his Ruler skill allows him to select a world he has visited before and travel between them during his rest periods.
As he stepped into the city surrounded by white machines, he saw a figure standing on a covered bridge, supporting a mechanical prosthesis.
Those blue eyes like the sky and the sea looked at him quietly, and she spread her hands as if wanting to give him a greeting.
"Welcome back, my traveler."
She spoke softly.
Small white robots moved past the end of the corridor bridge like ants. A pair of flying wing rotors grew from their joints. They arrived beside him and greeted him together.
"Noelia."
Su Mingan spoke and walked towards her.
He observed the floating city in the daytime.
After they left, it seemed as if only a short time had passed. The building remained the same as before, immersed in a decadent and highly saturated light.
The only difference from before is that this place is obviously more lively than before.
Men and women of all kinds walked through the streets and alleys of the outer city. Looking down from the high covered bridge, he could see smiles on their faces under the light.
...So, has this city truly been "redeemed"?
Su Mingan walked onto the covered bridge and suddenly saw an extremely tall building standing in the area near the inner city of the outer city.
Amidst the colorful scenery, the building made entirely of pure white stands out particularly, like a piece of jade standing in the middle.
He looked at it more carefully and then began to regret it.
…God knows why. Noelia…she would build a giant statue of him.
"You deserve this, traveler from the outside world." Noelia said softly, "As a hero who saved this city, you should be respected by everyone. Everything about me now is made up of your actions at that time. I will not deprive you of your credit just because you leave."
"No, but... this is also..."
It was difficult for Su Mingan to describe the feeling of seeing a statue that looked exactly like himself.
"By the way." Noeliya said: "Please don't call me Noeliya. I am... the third generation, you can call me San."
Su Mingan's heart skipped a beat.
"Three." He understood: "Is it already the third generation..."
Humans cannot be purely rational creatures. Even if they are transformed into bionic humans, they still have human thinking and emotions.
They will laugh, cry, and naturally get tired and exhausted.
The extinction of the soul is inevitable, even if the body remains eternal.
"Now my blood and flesh are all made up of mechanical veins and parts." San said: "I don't understand the feelings of the first generation creating the next generation, but my subsequent actions have all been engraved on my chip. I can't change it, and I can't avoid it."
As she spoke, she suddenly laughed: "But strangely, I still don't know what that feeling is. Now, I still can't get out of this strange vicious circle."
"By the way, traveler from the outside world, what is the purpose of your coming back..." She said after a pause.
"I would like to ask," Su Mingan thought for a moment and said solemnly:
"Is there... a drug or similar technology that can adjust people's mental state?"
He had tried before, and things from this world could not be taken out, even with the leader's permission.
Unless it is a specific technique that can be learned by humans.
He wanted to find similar technology.
Three glanced at him.
There was something inexplicable in her eyes.
"If there is such a thing, we don't have to replace 'Nolia' generation after generation." She sighed softly: "After all, the potion is an external object. The only ones who can truly control us are ourselves."
Su Mingan frowned.
"……but."
Soon, San's next words made him relax.
"I do have a few Type II tranquilizers that are quite effective. Although they can block confusion and fear physiologically, they should be of great help to you humans."
"Is it a tranquilizer? Unfortunately, I can't take anything out." Su Mingan said, "Can I learn this manufacturing technology?"
"No, the rank is too high. With your current level... you probably can't learn it yet." San said, "Wait until your authority is raised to a higher level, then come back to learn."
Su Mingan understood immediately.
In game terms, this means that his level is not high enough to light up the corresponding skill tree.
Or maybe the rank of his current ruler is too low… After all, at the second level, he probably cannot meet the learning requirements, just like the second-level pharmacist and the third-level pharmacist, there are different ranks.
However, he was relieved when he learned that this thing was not impossible to learn.
If it can be mass-produced, then, in addition to being used on myself, this kind of thing may also be popularized...
"Then..." Su Mingan remembered another reason for his visit: "Can I learn the production technology of fixed-point explosives?"
He chose Baicheng among the skills of the ruler, naturally because he wanted the science and technology here.
The mechanical explosives that Yu Ruohe had given him before, which had shone brightly in the Fourth World, and were powerful enough to not distinguish between friend and foe, really shocked him. With that thing, even low-level players with little combat power could become high-level suicide soldiers.
