Li Wei rolled his eyes at Qin Qingyu, knowing she wouldn't believe him. So he simply threw some leaves that weren't completely withered, wood, and other odds and ends into the entrance above.
A sound similar to a radiator running came from the machine. About ten minutes later, a "ding" sound, like a microwave oven finishing its cycle, rang out.
Right below the exit, more than a dozen cookies, each about half the size of a palm, fell down.
"These are compressed biscuits; one can sustain you for about a day."
After Li Wei finished speaking, he divided the cookies into two portions, handed one portion to Qin Qingyu, and put the other portion into his pocket.
"By the way, did you see that blue button? Because of a lack of materials, this is the only machine I can make for now. If you want to drink water, just point it at the outlet and press the blue button, and you'll get water. But you should use it sparingly, as the little thing I made just now didn't produce much water. I'm going out again later."
As Li Wei spoke, he picked up a compressed biscuit and started eating it.
"Is this thing really edible?"
Qin Qingyu blinked at Li Wei, guessing that since Li Wei was already eating, he probably wasn't lying to her. So she packed up the other cookies, held one in her hand, and elegantly took a small bite.
"It has a fresh, grassy smell... Hmm?" Qin Qingyu said in surprise, "It's actually better than I expected? No, Li Wei, these cookies you made from such shoddy materials are actually quite good."
"Have you ever seen a run-down place that would cook you something to eat?" Li Wei said irritably.
"Uh, okay..."
Qin Qingyu smiled awkwardly, then seemed to have thought of something and said to Li Wei, "Do you think it's possible that you're a genius from the research institute?"
"Hmm?" Li Wei stopped eating and looked at Qin Qingyu, asking, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you know so much, and you can even build such a powerful machine from such worn-out parts, it shows that you have a very broad grasp of science and engineering knowledge. And... it's not like some underground research units do all sorts of mysterious research, like modifying or enhancing humans..."
Towards the end, Qin Qingyu became a little hesitant.
"Alright, so you're trying to say that my power was artificially enhanced, right? Or just put it bluntly, I'm an artificial human."
"That was not what I meant……"
"Don't worry, I don't mind at all," Li Wei said calmly. "If humans could reach the point of artificially creating someone like me, then the current level of social technology would not be so backward."
He can learn relevant information by touching any object, and he possesses super-strong subconscious learning abilities that even he cannot explain to other living beings. These two aspects alone are simply impossible for humans to achieve with the current level of technology.
Li Wei was very clear about what the former meant. It meant that once some humans mastered this technology, all the truths of the world would be exposed to humanity. There would be no mystery left in the world. Not to mention leaving the interstellar community, crossing time and space and changing the world would be a piece of cake.
There's a saying that goes, "Omniscient is omnipotent." Even if this isn't entirely true, once someone achieves omniscience about the world, the things they can do are far too numerous and terrifying. Natural disasters are nothing but a joke in their presence.
Unfortunately, his omniscient ability has a serious drawback: he must personally experience it. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to decipher the secrets of the Main God Space, and the current so-called beginner dungeon would be child's play for him.
Just as Li Wei was pondering, a faint sound suddenly came from not far away.
"That's... footsteps?!" Li Wei instantly became alert.
PS:
PAS: Regular updates, regular updates. Actually, this beginner dungeon wasn't originally designed this way, but it's been so long I forgot, so I had to rethink it... Time really flies, and my memory isn't what it used to be.
Chapter 240 Cute little girls are always dangerous
The sound of footsteps...
Li Wei raised an eyebrow. According to Qin Qingyu, besides them, there were seven newcomers and one veteran. However, judging from the appearance of those people Qin Qingyu described to him, and their weight, none of them could produce such a sound, nor was it the footsteps of an albino humanoid.
"Could it be a new monster?" Li Wei's heart tightened, and his mind instantly went into a state of alert.
"Wait here, I'll go out and take a look."
"What happened?" Qin Qingyu was startled. She wasn't stupid. Since Li Wei suddenly said such a thing, something unexpected must have happened that she didn't know about, and Li Wei had to go out to check the situation.
As for whether Li Wei was making excuses to leave and abandon her, she wouldn't be so insecure and have such a brain defect. If Li Wei wanted to leave, he would have left long ago.
"Maybe, I'm not entirely sure."
“Then be careful. If anything happens,” Qin Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, “You can leave me behind and run away first. I won’t blame you. It’s better for one person to die than for two people to die together.”
Li Wei paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who said that? At least two people who die can keep each other company in the afterlife. They won't be bullied just because they're new to the Ghost Team, right?"
Forehead?
Qin Qingyu was taken aback. Just as she was about to say something, a little girl with long hair, about 4 meters tall and wearing a red short dress, appeared.
Li Wei instinctively stepped in front of Qin Qingyu and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"Me?" the little girl said blankly, "I think my name is Red Robe. Big brother, big sister, can you give me some food?"
Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, sized up the little girl in the red dress for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you five days' worth of food."
As he spoke, Li Wei walked over to the little girl, took out five compressed biscuits from his pocket, and said, "Eating one of these biscuits a day will basically keep you from getting hungry, and if you eat them sparingly, they can last for seven or eight days."
As Li Wei handed the biscuit to the little girl in red, he secretly touched her small hand. Her hand was smooth and delicate, and she didn't look like someone who lived in this desolate city at all. Instead, she seemed like a pampered young lady.
"Thank you, big brother."
After receiving the food, the little girl smiled sweetly at Li Wei.
"Is there anything else?" Li Wei said rudely. "If there's nothing else, then please leave. As you can see, I've given you almost all the food I had. I still need to find a way to feed myself."
"Oh..." Seeing Li Wei's expression, the little girl in red replied weakly, feeling a bit aggrieved, and then left.
“Li Wei, I think she’s a pitiful little girl, why don’t you…” Qin Qingyu wasn’t the kind of person who didn’t know her place. When there were outsiders around, she didn’t want to interfere with Li Wei’s thoughts and embarrass him. Now that the little girl had left, she finally spoke up.
"Do you think it's normal for someone as clean and tidy as this kind of person to live in the city?"
Qin Qingyu suddenly realized that such little girls would be very common in real society, but this was a dungeon world of the Main God Space, an abandoned city that had been dilapidated for who knows how long!
Li Wei only breathed a sigh of relief after he heard the girl in red's footsteps fade into the distance.
"What's wrong? Was that person in serious condition?" Qin Qingyu asked, noticing the situation.
Li Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice, "It's not just serious, it's downright dangerous. To put it bluntly, we could be dead in a minute if she wanted to."
"Actually, I don't know what her purpose was in approaching us. It probably wasn't as simple as wanting food."
The instant Li Wei touched her, information about the red-clad girl flashed through his mind:
Species: Red Luo tribe
Constitution: 320
Power: 275
Agility: 406
Stamina: 283
……
This is a humanoid race that prefers to eat foods similar to humans. However, their strong survival abilities allow them to feed on flesh, blood, plants, and other things when necessary. They are a mutated race descended from vampires and blood demons. Their fighting power increases at night, but they are not afraid of sunlight or the divine.
Weaknesses: none
Special skills: Due to the vast difference in strength, details cannot be ascertained. The information currently available is that they are blood absorption and blood energy conversion.
Blood Drain: A skill that combines attack and energy storage, allowing the user to absorb the blood of other creatures and convert it into their own. Its uses include restoring health and serving as a price for certain abilities...
Blood Energy Conversion: Allows the user to convert their own blood or blood stored in their body into energy, enabling a variety of attacks, including physical enhancement and material shaping...
Following this information are introductions to vampires and blood demons, which, like the A-37 virus that infected the albino humanoid ancestor, are derivative information.
Unlike the original albino humanoid, this Crimson Clan member was followed by a danger level assessment—
Risk level: 0
When Li Wei saw the number zero, he was stunned. He couldn't understand why the girl in the red dress, who had superior attributes in every aspect, posed no threat to him.
Could it be that the other party is not hostile towards me?
Li Wei couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from being wary of the Hongluo girl. With 275 strength points, she was already in the category of a human cannonball; one punch could create a small crater in the ground.
However, for some unknown reason, Li Wei had a vague impulse... a yearning for the thrill hidden between life and death, an uncontrollable desire for fear.
This... is like a madman!
Li Wei didn't know if he was an abnormal person before he lost his memory, but something in his body, like an instinct, drove him to do stupid things.
"Death is not such a big deal."
"Because you can't die no matter what."
This mysterious feeling began to sprout in his heart.
Li Wei shuddered and quickly banished this absurd idea from his mind. After all, who in this world is immortal?
"Could it be... that Red Luo Clan member used some kind of mental skill on me?"
This was Li Wei's guess, but in any case, a seed had been planted in his subconscious, a seed that... prompted him to awaken!
In the real world, Li Wei's house—
After Qi Xi finished grocery shopping and returned home, or rather, after Li Weigang disappeared, she had a bad feeling. Now that she was home, her suspicions were confirmed.
“My master couldn’t have left me quietly, which means he might have encountered some kind of accident.”
As Qi Xi pondered, she suddenly remembered leaving Li Wei a few years ago.
"Could it be that……"
A cold glint flashed in Qi Xi's eyes. Her intuition told her that some force outside the Samsara Academy had dragged her master into an unknown incident.
This was not only a woman's sixth sense, but also because of her vague connection with her master, and even more so because of her abilities, which the people in the academy speculated were due to the influence of her mental powers.
"Which bastards kidnapped Master?!"
"Since you kidnapped your master, why didn't you take me with you!"
This was the reason why Qi Xi was angry at first, however... soon she felt a tremor in her heart. This was the seal that she had placed on Li Wei, and it was clearly shaken!
PS:
PAS: I couldn't update last night because I was planning to turn on my hotspot, but I had a brain fart and forgot to turn it on since there's Wi-Fi in the house. I just kept using mobile data, and now my 300MB data package is almost used up QAQ
Yesterday, someone confided in me, saying they had many worries and couldn't seem to let go of them. I wonder if any of you have experienced this? My advice is that for things beyond your control, things that don't concern your life or fortune, try not to dwell on them. Don't push yourself too hard.
Avoiding problems won't solve them, but sometimes, it can give you a chance to catch your breath.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, try taking a break and letting yourself relax.
Chapter 241 I have a lot of 'MMP' to say, and I'll also...
Feeling the seal loosen, Qi Xi frowned deeply. The seal was of great significance to her master. Although it did not involve a life-or-death situation, it could not be underestimated.
Because this concerns at least... the whole world!
"Hopefully, it's not a remnant of the past..."
Li Wei has more than one seal on him. The most serious one is the collapse of the seal on the "past," because it is almost an unreasonable destruction. Rather than simply unsealing the "past," it would be better to open all the seals at once, so that at least the majority of the instincts sealed in the "past" can be restrained to some extent.
Shaking her head, Qi Xi couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Li Wei's instincts, even though she knew that Li Wei would never hurt her, and even though her relationship with Li Wei had long surpassed the scope of ordinary master and disciple, or even family, and had reached an indescribable intimacy.
But her shiver was not due to fear or dread, but rather a more inexplicable and indescribable reaction, encompassing not only biological phenomena, but also living and non-living, conscious and unconscious ones.
After carefully sensing it, Qi Xi breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Fortunately, it was Third Master's seal. Although it's still not good, it's better than Second Master coming out."
In the final stage of the "Slay the Sister" arc, Li Wei did indeed return once in the future. However, in fact, his form at that time was incomplete. Qi Xi dares to say that he did not even release one percent of his power, and it is even possible that it was less than one ten-thousandth or one hundred-thousandth.
Li Wei's power is too immense. Even the weakest of the three, the future, is beyond the imagination of other beings. In general fantasy novels, omniscience is omnipotence, and ordinary protagonists become invincible after achieving omniscience and omnipotence.
And what about Li Wei?
The future lifting of restrictions will grant omniscience and omnipotence, but it will not be comparable to the present or the past.
Qi Xi couldn't explain how strong Li Wei was either. His strength seemed to be limitless, but unfortunately, the so-called limitless was nothing more than far exceeding the limits of the measurer.
But Li Wei's power is beyond limit.
……
Stop thinking about these things. The most important thing now is to figure out how to get back to her master. After being separated from her master for several years, she doesn't want to experience separation again.
Her special ability immediately began to operate; it was a kind of intuition, similar to psychic abilities, a sense of destiny, or even a sixth sense, that began to guide her.
Soon, a solution to her current predicament began to emerge in her mind, waiting for her to further develop her abilities to grasp it.
This... is Qi Xi's ability—the Miracle of Wishes.
