After completing Chapter 210 of the game, 5
Chapter 210
A person who can see through falsehoods either has extremely high innate mental strength or has exceptionally strong perception.
Lin Xia pondered for a moment. If someone in this world could break through and become a spiritual power user, perhaps one day he would be able to protect this world.
No matter how long it takes, there is always hope.
In this world, only bloodlines, potions that increase strength and speed, and food and water are real; everything else is fake.
Lin Xia took out the chocolate beans she had exchanged over the past two days: "Look at this, is it real or fake?"
The boy's Adam's apple bobbed: "It's true."
"Come with me." Lin Xia turned and left.
Without hesitation, the boy followed. Despite his thin build, he was surprisingly fast.
Lin Xia found a dilapidated house, went inside, and waited for a while before the boy came in. He sat down against the wall, his face growing paler.
She handed him the chocolate in her hand: "Why aren't you eating anything?"
The boy swallowed hard and took the chocolate. "Thank you." He popped one into his mouth and took a breath. "I'm afraid if I eat too much, I'll become like them."
Lin Xia nodded and said, "I need to do some checks on you. I hope you won't find it offensive."
The boy nodded casually, but when Lin Xia's spiritual energy landed on him, his whole body tensed up, he straightened his back, and looked sharply at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia didn't care about his reaction. If he wasn't a wolf cub, how could he be so ruthless to himself? She swept her mental energy over him, finally sweeping over his head.
Lin Xia didn't notice anything different; it was the same as what she had seen on most people earlier. However, his body was indeed stronger, but also lacked strength.
This is because his body desperately needs physical support to sustain his mental energy, which is already wearing down his body.
Lin Xia took out the rice grains she had exchanged, used her metal-type ability to make a pot and a stand, added water and rice to the pot, lit some dry firewood by the roadside, and started cooking porridge.
From the moment Lin Xia began to move, the boy stared intently, his eyes shining brightly.
After finishing her work, Lin Xia looked at him and asked, "Want to learn?"
The boy nodded vigorously: "Can I learn?"
Lin Xia nodded: "Does your system have attribute values?"
"have."
"How much is yours?"
“Constitution: 23, Mental Strength: 32, Speed: 20, Strength: 15,” the boy said without hesitation.
To be able to survive with such a significant difference in mental strength compared to physical constitution is truly remarkable.
"I can teach you, but to master my magic, you need..."
Before he could finish speaking, the boy knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Disciple Lin Zhuo greets Master!" He then knelt down completely.
Lin Xia was startled, then chuckled. She used her wind-elemental ability to help him up: "No, you don't need to do this. I'm not your master. What I'm trying to say is that you need a lot of food to maintain your physical strength. Without food, it will be difficult to continue cultivating."
Lin Zhuo raised his head: "You taught me magic, so you are my master. I will repay you in the future and take care of you in your old age."
Lin Xia chuckled: "Your surname is Lin?" What a coincidence.
"Yes, Master, my mother died at the beginning of the apocalypse, and my father died recently. I am 16 years old this year. Does Master also have the surname Lin?"
Lin Xia nodded: "I am Lin Xia. I didn't teach you magic so you could take care of me in my old age. I need you to promise me one thing, but if there's no food..."
"Is this okay?" Lin Zhuo took out a crystal-clear stone from his pocket.
It was actually a top-grade energy stone. Lin Xia frowned, finding it too much of a coincidence, which made her somewhat concerned: "Where did you get this from?"
“My dad and I sometimes go to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables to eat. When we found this stone, I felt that it made me feel very comfortable, so I carried it with me.”
No wonder my body didn't break down; it turns out there was energy nourishing it.
Is there anything else?
"Yes, quite a few are exposed."
"Take me there."
"good."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Xia quickly called out to him, "Wait, eat your food first."
Lin Zhuo's eyes lit up: "This...this is for me to eat?"
Seeing Lin Xia nod, he almost drooled from the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Master!"
He didn't mind the heat, blowing on it as he slurped it into his mouth, and after finishing, he wiped his mouth and said, "Master, let's go."
Lin Xia opened her mouth to correct him, but he had already left.
The two moved quickly and soon arrived at the mountain Lin Zhuo had mentioned. Lin Xia scanned the area with her spiritual power and, sure enough, there was a small energy stone mine there, but the quality was exceptionally good. Several top-grade energy stones could be seen in the exposed part alone.
Lin Xia took a few energy stones and set up an isolation and defense array to enclose this area.
Seeing Lin Xia's actions, Lin Zhuo's eyes were filled with envy: "Master, can these stones help me cultivate?"
Seeing Lin Xia nod, a big smile finally appeared on his face.
“But even if you can cultivate, you still need food.” Lin Xia’s words did not make his smile disappear.
"Can I be as powerful as my master?"
"Just call me Lin Xia. If you can train to the later stages, you'll be just like me."
"I understand, Master. I will cultivate diligently."
Since she wouldn't be staying for more than a few days anyway, and seeing the slightly cheerful smile on his face, Lin Xia didn't say anything more: "I won't be here for more than a few days, so you can learn as much as you can."
Lin Zhuo's smile froze: "Why? Master, where are you going? Can't you take me with you?"
Lin Xia shook her head: "I'm already caught up in my own situation, how could I possibly take you under my wing?"
Lin Zhuo remained silent for a long while before saying, "Master, I can do many things..."
"Do you know that besides your world, there are many other worlds?" Lin Xia asked, seeing his abandoned expression.
Lin Zhuo looked over in surprise: "You mean, you're from another world?"
Lin Xia nodded, and Lin Zhuo looked enlightened: "No wonder you are not bound by the system, isn't it because of your strength?" He was somewhat disappointed.
"It was because of its strength that it was not controlled."
"You mean, if you're not strong enough, even if you come here, you'll still be controlled by the system?"
Seeing Lin Xia nod, Lin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief: "You said you had something for me to do, please tell me first."
Lin Xia told him about the collective unconscious sea of humanity, hoping that if he ever succeeded in his cultivation, he could protect the collective unconscious sea of this world.
"Protect those people?" Lin Zhuo's eyes were filled with hostility and disgust.
"If you achieve success in your cultivation, then you and the subconscious sea of this world will complement each other, protecting this world, not people."
"Not human? Then if I kill all the evil people in this world, that's fine too?" Lin Zhuo didn't hide his malice.
Lin Xia glanced at him and said, "Okay."
Lin Zhuo was surprised: "Aren't you afraid of entrusting this to the wrong person?"
Lin Xia chuckled lightly: "Entrust? No, I just don't want to do useless work. As for the ending of this world, I can't interfere."
"Besides, it's still unknown whether you'll live to see that day. Keep cultivating diligently."
