Chapter 66: Preparations Before the Hunt
The Empire of Twilight, the "City of Waiting", the Royal Palace.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation." Diesel took his leave. He had learned deeply about the spiritual imprint and soul from otherworldly creatures, and he was satisfied.
After the mage left, Christo said to Black Sharp, "Do you think he has a point?" ”
"Where?"
"Don't play dumb, that's the part of us that he said we otherworldly creatures don't have souls. At first, I was shocked to hear it, but when I think about it, I can accept it. Larger Consciousness ...... In a sense, it actually refers to the gene pool! We don't have souls, but our genes are forever, and philosophically speaking, we're immortal. ”
Black Sharp asked with interest: "If you extract your data from the gene pool, can you create another you?" ”
"It's just a copy of me, it doesn't have my spiritual imprint. It doesn't really matter if you have a soul or not. As for the fact that we are biological weapons, it is not a big deal. ”
"Maybe one day you'll be controlled by genetically level instructions and attack me like crazy, hahaha." After Hei Fengrui finished speaking, he felt that he didn't say it properly.
Christo also smiled: "It's possible, so ah, before that day, I want to go to more places and see more scenery, and I have no regrets." ”
Black Sharp nodded: "When we come back in June to take over, let's travel." ”
"Really? You don't care about your island? ”
"Whatever, I'm not the Necromancer anyway, so it doesn't matter if I don't want territory."

In the Pacific Ocean, a ship is riding the waves.
The only traveler on the ship was a player, draped in a gray blanket and drinking inferior but effective spirits, before he forced himself to swallow the fish he was tired of. In addition to cutlery, there are also various charts and maps on the table.
Looking at the compass, the traveler continued to study the charts. His prey is also on the sea, and if you want to snipe at it, you have to get to the ambush site first...... But the other party is on a ghost ship that can ignore all bad weather, and can only pray that the next few days will be sunny and windy.
After looking at it for a while, the traveler's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly packed up the drawings, walked out of the cabin, and came to the stern, looking down. In the shadow of the stern of the ship, a person surfaced, he raised his head to meet the traveler's gaze, and his face was full of surprise: "You can sense my breath in advance, you must be a god-level adventurer...... Ah no, be polite, be polite, be polite......" The next sentence is turning his face and talking to himself.
The traveler knows who it is. A young man with half-red hair, dressed in a golden robe, with eyes so big that he seemed to be staring at people all the time, although he was very handsome, he had a fierce face, standing on the surface of the sea, the sea water under his feet boiling and emitting a large amount of water vapor. This is the number one horse boy of the Lancang Dragon King, the fireworks goldfish, which is a very difficult guy to mess with among the super-level demonic beasts of the sea.
However, the busy sailors happened to not pay attention to the stern, and the only thing they noticed was the lookout, but he also only noticed the white steam.
At this time, the firework goldfish turned his head again and smiled: "Hello, your senses are so keen, and you are from the 'gospel', you must be the rock trigger." I don't mean to be offended, but as a matter of routine, I will confirm which strong person will pass through the national barriers. Please believe in our good intentions, we just don't want to see the weak die in vain. ”
"Yo, that's understandable." Rock Trigger nodded. It is difficult for the weak to survive the siege of foreign players, and national barriers play a role in screening.
"Why didn't you choose to take a ghost ship? National barriers are fraught with danger, and human ships are not
You will be able to arrive safely. ”
"I don't really want to deal with Jiang Huahuo...... Not familiar with him. ”
"I see. However, 'under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king', the four oceans are already monolithic, even if you choose an ordinary ship, you are still in the sight of Lord Jiang Huahuo. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, I take it to heart."
"Have a nice trip."
Waiting for the super-level demonic beast to leave, the rock trigger smiled bitterly: "Yo, so I hate monopolies." The world is so unfriendly to the Lone Ranger. ”

Passing through the thick rock formations, at the bottom of the steel city lies the lifeblood of the city - a huge semi-artificial and semi-natural boiler, if you want to say how big, the space above the lava alone is the size of a stadium in the real world. The high-temperature hemispherical alloy dome looms over the magma, which collects the steam emitted by the magma and transmits the heat energy to the thermal power station above, which is used to generate an endless supply of electricity. Extracting the geothermal energy from the seabed and the volcano as an energy source, and at the same time channeling the thermal energy of the cancano to avoid volcanic eruptions - this is the double meaning of the existence of the boiler.
At this time, the inside of the boiler was dark red, and everything was distorted in the heat. The lava stream swirled, agitated, and boiled like a pot of viscous syrup. Suddenly, a pitch-black hand bone stretched out from the magma, groping for the stony shore, and then with a strong push, the magma cracked, and the owner of the hand bone climbed ashore, which turned out to be a tall, pitch-black skeleton. It shook off the lava stuck to its body on the spot, then walked to the ladder clinging to the inner wall of the boiler, and climbed to the top as if it were routine, and drilled out of the hatch.
Beyond the hatch is the maintenance room, the only path for the maintenance workers to the inside of the boiler. The pitch-black skeleton was at the bottom of the maintenance room, and it walked up the empty steps. Its chest and skull cavity were filled with golden-red molten iron, and it was barely visible the blue color of soul fire, which was very strange among necromantic creatures. With each step, a large number of sparks spilled from the core of the molten iron, splashing sparks and clusters. The skeleton shook its head, and the molten iron in its chest rapidly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, condensing into a heart of steel that shimmered blue light; In the blink of an eye, the skeleton turns back into Leibniz.
The boiler required regular maintenance, the removal of rocks stuck to the furnace walls, and the repair of joints in the furnace walls due to high-temperature deformation. Maintenance work is usually carried out by puppets who are nearing the end of their life, and the boiler must also be shut down. Without any precautions, the boiler can be turned on in the middle of the operation, and the only thing in the entire steel city is Leibniz.
There was a staff member waiting on the stairs of the training room, and although it was difficult to see it against the light, Leibniz knew that it was KOF-97, a puppet with a female appearance, nicknamed "Little K". She spoke, "You've done a great job. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Leibniz, but he fell forward, but Leibniz took advantage of the situation to help her.
"Be careful, if you fall, it will melt."
"Why did you save me? Shouldn't a tool like me, which has a birth defect, be destroyed? Little K asked.
"A qualified king will never abandon his subordinates, no matter how useless that subordinate is." Leibniz stretched out his hand and scratched Little K's nose, if Little K was a real human girl, maybe she would be shy to cover her face at this time, but Little K was just a puppet after all, she just wondered whether the logic of the master's words was reasonable.
The two of them walked out of the passage and into a well-lit space. The door closed behind the back, and the triple lock locked with a clang.
"How are they doing? Are there any complaints? Leibniz tilted his head to the left and patted his right ear vigorously to remove the remaining magma from his skull
The left ear is clapped out. The red slime splashed on the walls and hissed, and even began to catch fire. The puppets that had been on standby for a long time were immediately disposed of with liquid nitrogen spray guns.
"Nope. Here's their schedule. ”
"They" were Fermat and Strom. Since the last time Strunm refused the king's invitation, their treatment has suddenly deteriorated. They were placed in staff quarters and were only allowed to enter the first floor of Steel City, which was not a big difference compared to the beginning, but they had no complaints. Even if Leibniz gave them small shoes, they took it for granted, because Leibniz was not the object of their allegiance. To be able to operate on the first floor of the steel city, they are very satisfied.

"The adventurer's rock trigger passes through the national barriers, and its destination should be the Snow Country."
This news was passed from the hands of the firework goldfish to the "Azure Legend", then to the "Auxiliary Dynasty", and finally to the hands of Mengduanguanhe. With the help of the Lancang Dragon King, the Divine Machine Military Master can control the world's major affairs to a greater extent.
After reading it, Meng Duanguan He smiled at his favorite student, Mango, and said, "Let's play chess." For this kind of impromptu teaching, Mango is no stranger. The president likes to make her understand everything by playing chess.
Dream of breaking off the river and holding the sunspot first.
The mango responds with whites.
President: "Then let's change the rules a little bit. You go ahead and play three. ”
Mango snorted, but didn't have any opinion, down. The rules of Go are very simple, if you enclose the enemy's chess pieces, you can capture them. The four white seeds ate the lonely black without any suspense.
Then the president said, "Well, I'm going to lay twenty sunspots." ”
Mango's eyes widened as he watched as he would grow one by one. This is not Go at all. However, the president still worked very hard and ate the four white seeds. He added, "Next, you can also lay twenty white seeds." Ah, twenty-five fine. ”
Since he knew that this was not Go, Mango had to be messed up and played. Who knew that when she placed the third one, she also added sunspots, and then added them a few times sporadically, and preemptively placed them in the position where the mango was scheduled to be next. It's only been a few rounds, and a small half of the board has been laid out.
"This ...... What is this for, President! It's not playable! ”
"yes, it's not playable." Meng Duanguan He said with a smile. "There must be rules in board games, and when the rules are gone, the line between winning and losing is blurred, you say you won, I say I won, then it doesn't matter how many games you play. At this time, what is most needed is the appearance of someone who can re-establish the rules. Mango, what qualities do you think this person needs to have? ”
"I think it's smart, and only by being smart can you get the balance of the game right. Ah yes, and fairness. ”
"Wrong, it's power. He doesn't need to be smart at all, he just needs to beat everyone up and force everyone to do things according to his new rules. He doesn't even need to be fair, he says you lose, you lose, he says you win, you win - he can also be a referee, you say Lai Pi is not a bad skin? ”
Under the guidance of the president, Mango has already been tempered to be extremely intelligent, and he knew that the president would never be untargeted, so he asked, "President, will something big happen next?" ”
"If something big happens, that's fine."
Dream Broken Guan He said these words incomprehensibly, and brushed his sleeves away.
Mango pondered for a while, and suddenly exclaimed, "I know! Grow, you lazy worm, you took the opportunity to run away again! Next time you clean up the chessboard yourself!! If I clean up for you, I'll be a pig! ”
