Elizabeth stepped into the mist cautiously.
As soon as the body entered the mist, the nanoelectronic sensor installed under the skin immediately sent back a set of data.
Relative humidity, ninety percent.
The components of the mist are: dihydrogen monoxide, which is water molecules.
"So, this is just pure fog?" Elizabeth frowned: "Then why..."
"All the equipment installed outside my body have failed?"
As a human biochemical mechanical warrior, Elizabeth's body has been specially modified.
It is equipped with the most advanced reconnaissance and detection equipment, with various sensors densely covered all over the body, and a sophisticated quantum personal master brain installed in the brain.
In theory, even the evil god's pheromones can be identified.
But now, all the peripheral sensors on her body are malfunctioning.
The biochemical cells in the body seemed to be imprisoned by something.
The moment he entered the mist, the laser knife on the outside of his arm had automatically retracted.
The nano-biochemical mechanical armor covering the whole body was also fully recovered.
This allowed her to switch from combat mode back to standby mode.
It seems that only the quantum master brain embedded under the cerebral cortex and a few non-combat nano-organs are still functioning.
Elizabeth's eyes saw that at the end of the thick fog, there seemed to be a light source similar to a lamp, swaying brightly and dimly.
She pondered for a moment, then followed the light and kept moving forward.
After walking a few steps, my feet seemed to hit something.
Elizabeth lowered her head and picked up the thing.
It was the drone she had flown before.
However, now, the four-wing floating drone has turned into a ring watch again.
Tick tock, the hour hand moves slowly.
Putting the ring watch back on her wrist, Elizabeth continued to move forward.
Then, she felt as if her feet were stepping on something soft.
Lowering her head, Elizabeth saw the thing with the help of the light source surrounding the watch.
It was a mass of flesh and blood that was rapidly melting and evaporating like melting ice and snow.
From the outline, one can vaguely see the original appearance of this mass of flesh and blood—it is the offspring of the Moon Demon that looks like a bison.
This powerful descendant of the evil god is being decomposed by the inexplicable power in the thick fog.
In just a few seconds, it melted and evaporated, and even its fur and bones ceased to exist.
Only a smooth goose egg-sized crystal was left on the ground.
Elizabeth picked it up and carefully put it in her arms.
This is the treasure that mankind has been striving for - the Crystal of the Evil God.
A powerful crystal that only exists in the bodies of a few descendants of the evil god.
It is also the energy source for the master control center of the human doomsday fortress.
An evil god crystal of this size can maintain the operation of a large fortress for a year.
Therefore, it is invaluable!
Putting her things away, Elizabeth continued forward, following the light source.
Finally, she reached where the light source was.
Looking up, a building with red bricks and blue tiles appeared in the thick fog.
On the old wall, covered with dust, a plaque appeared in front of Elizabeth.
The square and square words surprised her slightly: "This is... Chinese..."
She recognized this kind of writing.
Her quantum mastermind is equipped with most of the world's mainstream text and language templates.
This is a must-have template to facilitate encountering and communicating with any possible survivors outside the fortress.
Unfortunately, there has been little opportunity to use it.
"Qiyuan... Bookstore..." Elizabeth looked at the dusty plaque with a gloomy expression, but she still stepped forward firmly and gently pushed open the door that seemed to be made of glass.
…
Sure enough, after drinking the water soaked in the leaves.
Lingpingan dominates the canyon!
Three consecutive games, it’s really a matter of how you play!
No matter how hard your teammates are, no matter how strong your opponent is.
Lingpingan can also turn decay into magic, directly knocking the opponent into autistic state.
One to four with ease.
This made Lingpingan couldn't help but drink another cup.
Drinking the tea in his hand, he slowly lay down on the chair at the counter.
At this time, he heard the sound of the store door being pushed open, so he raised his head from the counter and looked over.
Then he saw a foreign woman with blond hair and blue eyes pushing the door open and entering.
She looks about twenty-three or four, and should not be older than Lingpingan.
Lingpingan noticed that she was wearing clothes that seemed to be worn by characters in science fiction movies, which looked very futuristic.
"A science fiction fan?" Lingpingan thought to himself.
So, he smiled and asked: "Guest... do you want to buy a book?"
…
Elizabeth pushed open the glass door and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, she swallowed hard.
In front of you is a small space.
A strange man, sitting at what appeared to be a wooden counter.
His body is thin and has no muscles, but his entire face seems to be shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
Seeing her come in, the weirdo stood up.
In the head in the mist, a pair of dark eyes were filled with sparks, flickering quietly.
He seemed to have known this before and asked Elizabeth: "Guest... do you want to buy a book?"
When this sentence fell into Elizabeth's ears, the quantum mastermind in her brain immediately went into overload.
Because, countless facts and cases show.
Any human being who comes into contact with an evil god or similar being will be distorted by his language, consciousness, or even the ripples produced by mere contact with him.
Therefore, after paying countless costs, humans had to choose to live in symbiosis with machines.
Implant nano-biochemical machinery into the body.
He also embedded a quantum masterbrain in his brain and underwent surgery to mechanize his mind.
Use this to isolate and filter the evil god's pheromones and protect yourself.
After the overloaded calculations of the quantum master brain, Elizabeth finally got the best choice.
She nodded slightly, activated the language template, and used her electronic voice box to say, "Hello, what books do you have here?"
…
"Hello, what books do you have here?" The cold, mechanical electronic voice made Lingpingan frown.
"Another person who is too involved in the drama?" Lingpingan looked at the foreigners in front of him.
Her face belongs to the kind of delicate oval face that conforms to public aesthetics.
It's just a little too white.
The blue eyes are not like human eyes, but have a metallic texture.
The straight bridge of the nose gives it an air of uncanny craftsmanship.
"Maybe it's because of the makeup and hair..." Lingpingan thought.
In addition, her body is also somewhat tall.
It is almost as tall as Lingpingan, a conservative estimate of at least 175 centimeters.
A pair of toned and slender long legs, strong and beautiful.
Looking at the clothes she was wearing, Lingpingan laughed, knowing that she was a big benefactor.
Judging from her dressing style, Lingpingan guessed that she should be a new player in "Stars".
It just so happens that there are several official setting books for the "Stars" game in the bookstore!
"It's really luck that I can't stop!" Lingpingan was extremely happy and asked: "Guest, are you a mechanical ascension sect?"
…
"Guest, are you a mechanical ascension sect?"
Listening to the questions of the weirdo in front of her, Elizabeth's quantum mastermind began to call the police frantically.
There were countless cases recorded in the master's mind, each one bloody and displayed in front of her.
Those cases tell mankind a truth - when faced with questions about evil gods or untouchable beings, don't answer them! Don't answer! Don't answer!
Because any answer, as long as there is a slight deviation, may lead to unpredictable results.
However, we cannot remain silent.
Because silence is useless in front of the evil god.
They can easily penetrate the human mind and see the true thoughts of human beings.
He even plays with human thoughts.
Many people think they are normal after being exposed to evil spirits.
But the result is often tragic.
Therefore, on the one hand, you cannot answer directly to avoid stepping into an unpredictable and dangerous situation.
On the other hand, you must try your best to deal with it and gradually explore the logic of its behavior.
Only in this way can there be a chance of survival.
"Mechanical Ascension Sect?" Elizabeth carefully followed the plan given by the quantum mastermind and drove the electronic vocal cords to ask.
…
"Well!" Lingpingan looked at the strange foreign woman in front of him and said very kindly: "Are you not a mechanical ascension sect, my guest?"
"So are you a psychic ascension sect? Or a genetic ascension sect?"
Lingpingan has no discrimination against these chuunibyou patients who are too involved in the drama.
Because in a bookstore, all customers are God.
Especially now, business is really getting harder and harder.
If I don't think of a way to sell some books, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get subsidies next month.
The Federal Empire is not a fool.
How can a bookstore that has been losing money for a long time and has zero turnover continue to subsidize it
…
"Aren't you a mechanical ascension sect?"
"Then you are a psychic ascension sect? Or a genetic ascension sect?" The weirdo seemed surprised.
Elizabeth was even more surprised.
Mechanical ascension, psychic ascension, and genetic ascension.
Three unheard of terms.
Her quantum mastermind continues to overheat.
Finally, after careful deduction and calculation, the mastermind gave an option.
Looking at the options, Elizabeth was silent.
"So..." she thought: "I became a sacrifice or an experiment chosen by the mastermind?"
The quantum mastermind is installed in her brain.
After her death, the mastermind is automatically destroyed.
Then, the key information stored in the master brain will be reproduced in the master control center of the Doomsday Fortress through quantum entanglement.
Most of humanity's current understanding of evil gods or similar beings is obtained through this method.
After only three seconds of hesitation, Elizabeth chose to follow the mastermind's opinion.
Because she and humans have no choice.
"Can you tell me about mechanical ascension, psychic ascension, and genetic ascension?" Her electronic vocal cords vibrated for the first time.
…
The requirements of the guests are of course the mission of Lingpingan.
For Lingpingan, who aspires to be a federal book giant in the future, it is also a basic job to be familiar with and understand the details of the books in the store.
Therefore, he has read most of the books in this bookstore.
So, Lingpingan smiled and said: "Of course!"
"This mechanical ascension means embracing machinery, abandoning the fragile body, and heading towards the bright steel world!"
"Flesh and blood are weak, but steel is eternal!"
"With absolute reason, absolute materialism, and absolute rationality, move toward a bright future and embark on a journey across the sea of stars!"
…
"Flesh and blood are weak, but steel is eternal!"
The quantum mastermind is in crazy overdrive.
The computing speed soars to the highest level.
Elizabeth was also amazed by the future described in this truth-like language.
"With absolute reason, absolute materialism, and absolute rationality, we will move toward a bright future and embark on a journey to the sea of stars..."
She chewed on the weirdo's words: "Isn't this the hope of mankind and the blueprint for the future?"
The earth is riddled with holes and has become the paradise of evil gods.
The entire solar system has been completely corroded.
The sun has become the lair of evil gods.
Jupiter and Saturn have become holy places for the offspring and minions of the evil god to multiply.
The moon is occupied by a giant spider evil god, the Dark Side of the Moon.
Humanity can only survive in the fortress of doomsday, relying on biochemical machinery to struggle.
Therefore, humans want to survive and continue to reproduce.
Isn't the only hope the scene described by this weirdo
Therefore, Elizabeth could not care about anything else, tightly grasped the weirdo's hand, and begged: "Then, can you guide me and mankind to embark on this great road?"
…
Lingpingan looked at the excited foreign woman in front of him.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He imitated the tone of those supporters of the Mechanical Ascension Sect he saw on the forum and said: "Child, of course I will not refuse your request!"
"The weak human body is destined to become a shortcoming and a drawback!"
"Only machines can live forever!"
Well, if the opponent is a psychic ascension sect or a genetic ascension sect.
Then replacing machinery with spiritual energy and genes is the same.
"I will lead you into the temple of truth and into the mechanical paradise!" Lingpingan said.
…
"child… "
"I will lead you into the temple of truth and into the mechanical paradise!"
The weirdo's voice is grand and sacred.
Even though Elizabeth had already undergone mechanical mind surgery, she was still excited.
So, she bowed deeply: "Please!"
At the same time, she quietly gave instructions to the quantum mastermind: start plan A.
The so-called plan A is emergency self-destruction filing.
Authorize the mastermind to immediately self-destruct if she encounters any life-threatening situation, and initiate the quantum entanglement program to transmit information back to the quantum master control center in the Doomsday Fortress.
The mastermind quickly accepted the instruction.
So, Elizabeth was no longer afraid.
She raised her head, looked at the strange man in front of her, and walked step by step into a dark, twisted, and unpredictable abyss-like space.
That space is like a black hole, deep and dark.
At the edge of the space, there is an asphalt-like body that is slowly squirming.
In the boundless abyss, there seemed to be pairs of eyes full of malice, opening and closing one after another.
This place is like the void where evil gods were born, full of mystery, unknown, distortion, and madness.
…
Lingpingan walked to the back of the bookshelf, found the science fiction label, and then counted them one by one.
Finally, he found the book he was looking for.
A bright smile appeared on his face: "Finally, there is hope that it will be sold!"
He took the book down.
A heavy tome.
The title of the book is "Stars: Mechanical Ascension Settings Collection".
It is the official setting collection of the most popular science fiction game "Stars" on the market today.
Inside, there are many beautiful game illustrations.
More importantly, there is also an official and authoritative interpretation and introduction of the mechanical ascension genre.
It is a must-read for beginners of the Mechanical Ascension Sect.
That foreign woman, judging from her appearance, must be a novice who just got into the trap and got addicted to it.
This collection of official settings will definitely make her happy.
Of course, the most important thing is its price—two hundred and twenty-five yuan!
It is one of the most expensive books currently in the hands of Lingpingan.
It is also the most profitable book.
If it can be sold, at least half of the profit will be made!
"If this deal is completed... tomorrow morning, I can ask Aunt Cai to bring me an extra bowl of tofu!" Thinking of the sweet tofu, Lingpingan was full of fighting spirit.
So he held this tome and walked towards the foreign guest at the door.
