"I don't have a teacher, I learned it all by myself, and it took six years." Garen brought out the old trick again.
"Self-study?! Is this okay?!" Xiao Lan suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise, "I've tried many times, but I can't do it! Now I can't even pass Level 1." She became depressed, "It's been seven years . I have been taught since I was a little grandpa."
"Uh" Garen didn't know what to say.
The two walked slowly along the counter.
"Brother Garen, you can choose what you like. Our store business has been getting worse and worse since grandpa fell ill. After the previous inventory was sold out, senior brothers and senior sisters had to make some bad quality imprints to sell by themselves. , struggling to support the store."
She whispered, there was no one in the store at this time, and the last customer who was watching and playing just now also left, the dim soft light became more and more silent, only Xiaolan's voice echoed slightly.
Garen nodded silently, while listening to Xiaolan's introduction, he glanced at the few energy imprints on the counter.
"All the imprint bodies use the basic first-level imprint as the main body. The brothers and sisters are all third-level energy machinists, and their computing power is insufficient, so they cannot process the second-level energy imprint. The tender imprint is divided into two parts. The production part. The calculation part is the main body, and it needs to purchase goods from the alliance. This is the part responsible for computing and increasing the computing power of the energy machinist. The production part is the part you saw just now, responsible for controlling and guiding the biochemical pool to make cannon fodder. We are responsible for processing This is the second piece." Xiaolan introduced, walking forward slowly.
"That is to say, we purchase semi-finished products and then process them into finished products for sale, right?" Garen asked.
"That's right. But all the first-level imprinting bodies are similar, and the computing power is increased by three times. The key lies in the production part module given by our second processing. If an ordinary imprinting body encounters an expert processing A good production module, such as a powerful cannon fodder like a devil bug, will have a dramatic change in price." Xiaolan said enviously.
"That's it." Garen nodded understandingly. Although he didn't want to make a hasty decision on his first imprint, there was no way. The situation was critical now, and he couldn't wait for him to make a careful choice.
Sweeping his gaze over the counter, he landed directly on the wild wolf.
"That's it. The mark of the wild wolf."
He pointed to the imprint of energy equipment on the counter.
"Are you sure it's him?" Xiaolan asked.
"Well, it's him." Garen nodded.
"Wild wolves are fast, have sharp claws and teeth, and have night vision capabilities, but their defense is not good. This imprint is a masterpiece made by senior brother. I will give you the best one. The waste rate is only 5%. It is the most proud one of senior brother. Work." Xiaolan quickly took out a soft gray thing with shimmering light from a small cabinet under the counter.
All the energy imprints are like cotton candy of different colors, soft and shapeless.
"Are all energy marks like this?" Garen asked curiously.
"Of course not, this is only a first-level energy weapon imprint. Generally, a first-level energy mechanic can use it. There are also second-level energy machinists on it, third-level, fourth-level and fifth-level. Money is enough, when you reach the third level, you can install a second energy mark for yourself. Remember, this thing is very difficult to change after it is installed, just like a primitive cell, you have already catalyzed it into a piece Beef, if you want to change it into beef bones later, it will be very difficult." Xiaolan warned.
"I understand." Garen nodded.
"It looks like you really don't know anything." Xiao Lan shook her finger and said, "Okay, this is for you." She handed over the mark and placed it in Garen's raised hand.
"Eat it. It will be very painful when you go back to reform, just be patient, it usually lasts for an hour, pay attention to safety, this kind of time is the most vulnerable time for an energy mechanic, no matter how powerful an energy mechanic is The same one."
"knew."
Garen nodded solemnly.
After a blur of distorted colors, Garen suddenly returned to his room.
He raised his hand and saw that he was holding a ball of gray cotton with shimmering light in his hand.
"Is this the mark of the wild wolf?" Without hesitation, he stuffed it into his mouth.
What's weird is that as soon as the thing touched the mouth, it swished right in, like a living thing, and quickly slid down the throat like a liquid, icy cold, like eating a bowl of ice water.
Garen barely swallowed, but felt his stomach rolling.
The consciousness at the back of the head slowly vibrated, as if something cold radiated out many, many silk tentacles, slowly wrapping around the two marks on the back of the head.
After a bit of coaxing, a huge shock suddenly rushed into his brain, and then Garen felt a cramping pain in his stomach, as if the river was overwhelmed, and his throat felt like he wanted to vomit. Nauseous, started hiccupping, spewing puffs of foul-smelling gas.
White spots seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and it seemed that someone was pressing the surface of his eyes with his fingers, and he saw a lot of white spots keep coming out.
He hunched over, reluctantly walked to the single sofa in the room and sat down, taking a deep breath.
Although this kind of nausea and pain was unbearable, it was nothing to Garen. The pain when he transformed his heart was much stronger than this. After getting used to it a little bit, he can still move freely and calmly, but there is faint sweat on his forehead, which shows that his state is not perfect at this time.
After getting used to the severe pain, Garen walked to the window. The sky had already brightened up, as if it was morning.
A strange howling sound like a wolf could be faintly heard in the distance outside, and there was no way there were wolves in the surrounding terrain, and any wolves had been strangled by radiation people long ago. The only possibility was human hunting.
"It's about to start," Garen murmured, looking at the pale sky in the distance, hoping that nothing would happen.
Even in the room, he could feel the tremendous pressure from the people walking outside.
Anxiety, restlessness, the kind of depression that forces oneself to be calm.
This is the thorough performance of the thirty or forty people in Lion Town.
Through the window, Garen saw someone holding a sharp metal spear and waving it around, and someone else was rubbing their hands, sitting on the steps of the door with his head down, mumbling something.
There was a whining sound outside, but no one looked up. The whole town became more and more quiet, no one spoke, and occasionally a baby's cry could be heard. But even children a few years old are earnestly helping to do what they can. The adults are constantly adjusting their physical state to keep themselves at their peak state at any time.
Putting down the curtains, Garen knew that there was nothing he could do now. The wild wolf imprint seems to be transforming the two consciousness imprints on the back of the head. This transformation is very fast and precise. In many cases, some subtle substances will be extracted from the body to participate in the transformation. This is also the key reason why the human body feels severe pain. .
Garen looked up at the time, it was 6:21.
The clock on the wall ticked, crisp and rhythmic.
He sat down, slowly relaxed his body, and carefully felt the transformation of this imprint of consciousness, but unfortunately, this transformation was very fast, and the level of sophistication and complexity far exceeded his imagination. After just observing for a few minutes, he felt that his consciousness was a little fuzzy and his mental exhaustion was too great. Can only be withdrawn.
Sitting quietly on the sofa, the sofa cushion under the buttocks is a bit soft and tough. The surface is leather, and there seems to be a metal spring inside, which bounces and bounces when you sit down.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
It was getting brighter outside.
Some people started to greet the guards on the wall, ready to change shifts. One change every three rounds, this was arranged by Garen earlier.
The footsteps of the guard-changing people passing by the room were sparse, and the people who came down were all taking deep breaths, no one spoke, and there was only the sound of heavy breathing.
Garen looked up and looked at the time again, it was 6:44.
23 minutes have passed.
The severe pain in the body is still continuing, and the degree is getting worse. He endured and sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for everything to pass.
6:51.
There was a small noise outside, and gunshots rang out. The sound of hurried footsteps passed from outside the room, as if someone was running towards the wall.
"It's okay, it's just that a few people who were alone rushed over and were killed." A voice said. Then everything was quiet again.
6:59.
There was a knock on the door, and Dong Peilan's voice came from outside.
"Are you there? It will be daylight soon."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Garen sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Sweat flowed from his forehead to the edge of his cheeks, and soon dripped onto his clothes along with his chin. The clothes he was wearing were still the plain clothes he wore when he was in the field. There were blood stains, organic oil, and black ash on them. The whole clothes looked like the overalls of a painter, except for the long-sleeved trousers, there was almost no style or color. Just a lot of flowers.
Hearing Garen's answer, Dong Peilan was silent for a while, and left again.
7:12.
There was another shot outside. This time it was not an ordinary gunshot, but a large noise.
The mess was mixed with curses, and occasionally someone could be heard screaming.
"It's really started." Garen opened his eyes, but now he can't do anything except move freely.
bang bang bang! !
Dong Peilan knocked on the door again.
"There has been a group of hunters outside, and we have repelled them. I suspect they were just a temptation. Several brothers died."
"Help me prepare some basic materials." Garen raised his voice, "The root of the pipa leaf, asparagus, the higher the radiation, the better, more than 20 grams each. The blood and brain of the radiation beast, the grade is a little higher The more the better. The more the better. There are grave tree trunks, and wintersweet flowers."
He casually reported a series of things, all of which are relatively common materials in the radiation belt. These things are more or less radiant. Many of them are used as substitutes for the nutrient solution of the biochemical pool. Gallen has no other way now. Although these substitutes will be less effective and may affect the strength of the final creature, there is no other way now. Let's get some out first.
