Fast Forward To 3077

The hazy, thin snow hovered the street.

The light yellow lights came out from the windows on both sides of the store. At a distance of a few meters, Xu Jiu, who had just put down his phone, could vaguely hear the knocking and music coming out of it.

Above the storefront, the word "demonstration" composed of a bunch of small gears keeps a weird sense of stillness, and other small devices seem to be installed at the edges. Steam wafted out, melting the accumulated thin snow.

Before the gate under the brand name, there are two humanoid robots standing. They are different from the daoist puppets Xu Jiu had seen before at Wushan Gathering Point. They are not even organs or even clothes. Except for the limbs, there are only vague facial features.

When Xu Jiu approached the door of the store, the two robots bowed their heads neatly and uniformly,

"Welcome to the oddity shop!"

"Look It shouldn't be white this time."

Xu Jiu, who is not very eye-sighted, can see that these two robots are by no means products on the assembly line, and 80% of them are the work of the shopkeeper. The technology used is also very different from those in Wushan Gathering Point.

Opening the door and walking into the oddity shop, the bell behind the door made a crisp sound.

The first thing you see is the paraglider placed in the lobby of the shop... No, it’s not a simple paraglider. It seems to be equipped with a lot of mechanical equipment and gears. The machine can be seen everywhere.

Around this mechanical paraglider, there are piles of various semifinished products and finished props. Xu Jiu looked around and found that there seemed to be no one in the store, and he did not see the hanging outside before entering the door. The sign that went out of business couldn't help asking loudly,

"Is anyone there?"

After waiting for a while, no one responded.

Xu Jiu was about to speak again, but his brows frowned suddenly, and looked towards the ceiling above his head.

Now~bang!

The dull blasting sound mixed with the cry of pain sounded upstairs. The ceiling above Xu Jiu's head also had a few more cracks. He stepped back in a hurry, and the cracks on the top of his head quickly The speed spread, and finally broke.

Smoke mixed with stones fell, Xu Jiu was so shocked that he planned to retreat to the door, but found that the place where the stones fell was precisely aligned with the mechanical paraglider in the center of the store. After thinking about it, he lifted it up again. Right hand, the thumb swept across the mechanism of the ink spine vine ring.

The arc flashed out, and in the next second there were dozens of vines gushing out of the ring face. With no difficulty, the stones were lifted up, and finally the entire ceiling was supported to prevent the cracks from spreading further. At the same time, it prevents the occurrence of secondary large-scale collapse.

Good guy, playing blasting in my store is really "odd".

In this situation, when I changed to other normal customers, I had already turned around, but who made Xu Jiu in the store? Not only did he not leave, but he stared at the gap with interest. .

Although there is no limit to the number of times the black vine can be used, the manager of this store does not know!

When the smoke dissipated, a panicked middle-aged man appeared on the edge of the ceiling hole. When he saw the thorns and vines underneath, he was surprised and confused.

"Hey, how long will you stay up there? The time that my vines can support is limited. You don't want these things?"

Xu Jiu took the initiative to remind you. , The person was startled first, and even retracted back.

About seven or eight seconds later, the stairs on the other side of the shop lobby rushed down to a "very clever" middle-aged man, with his hands still wearing auxiliary robotic arms, facing the nodded thankful Xu Jiu. , And immediately began to play with the rocks on the vines.

Xu Jiu was not idle either, and took the initiative to help. After all, he didn't come to see people bombing his own home. Even more how Vanessa was still waiting, he couldn't leave the latter.

But this sorting doesn't matter, Xu Jiu soon discovered that the upward facing side of the gravel falling from the ceiling seemed to have some complicated patterns.

At first, Xu Jiu didn't care about the floor patterns only, but as the stones removed gradually increased, he found that these patterns were more like just being painted recently.

More importantly, he found a certain sense of familiarity in these lines...

He painted something similar in the special area not long ago!

"Do you recognize these runes?"

Xu Jiu's state was seen by the shopkeeper next to him, and suddenly he twisted the gravel in his hand in surprise and asked.

"I have seen...but it's just similar, the details are completely different."

The jewel on the chest is naturally impossible. Tell others that Xu Jiu responded vaguely. Sentence,

"I saw it in a miscellaneous book before. The book said that this thing is what refinement formation is, and it has various effects."

"That book also Are you there? Did you find it from the special area? If so, which special area?"

After hearing Xu Jiu's reply, the store manager grabbed his shoulder and even the stone next to it?"

I ignored it, and asked loudly.

"The book is not mine, it is something in the hands of a pioneer group, and I met them on the black market at that time. The book was indeed obtained in a special area, and it is a special area of ​​relics. It’s just that they didn’t mention which special area it was."

Xu Jiu, who was originally only planning to come and consume, now sees the lines on the stones, undoubtedly has other thoughts, and simply followed the store manager’s words. Next,

"speaking of which I am also a little curious, are these so-called'refinement formation' really so powerful?"

"That wouldn't be... ...But the function is rather peculiar. You have to understand that the buildings in the special area do not grow out of thin air. They are also built by people or other creatures, and these refinement formations are in Which played a huge role. Otherwise, how do you think the magical buildings in the ruins that could not be completed by manpower appeared?"

Faced with Xu Jiu’s problem, the store manager without the slightest hesitation Said, and this remark undoubtedly shocked Xu Jiu's heart.

Xu Jiu has seen a lot of information on the special area, but he really didn’t know that the ruins in the special area would still be involved with this thing. In this case, the crystal stone on his chest Is it possible to contact them?

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jiu's thoughts became agitated uncontrollably.

Know that the crystal stone on Xu Jiu's chest is the basis for him to settle down in this world, and the fact that it has a large number of cracks is itself a heart disease of Xu Jiu until now.

Because this crystal stone always looks like it is about to be broken, and its reserves are always limited, like the mountain-shaking ability that has just been acquired, it will directly consume nearly one-seventh of it once it is fully activated. One’s energy, plus other abilities...

Xu Jiu used to be busy collecting transcendent organs in order to make himself a normal person as soon as possible, but now he is in this state How about collecting dozens of extraordinary abilities?

Can't solve the crystal stone energy problem, he can only stay at this level after all, no matter how hard it is to make greater progress!

It's not that Xu Jiu didn't work hard for this. He posted a bounty on the black net, and he also hit Vanessa sideways.

It's just that as of this morning, the information collected is all irrelevant.

At this moment, Xu Jiu suddenly realized that his attention might be in the wrong place.

He always stares at the crystal stone, thinking about using it to dig out the secrets in it, and the key to real completion of flesh and blood refining, isn't it the refinement formation that has been under his ass?

"It seems that you don’t know...Your ring is good. It shouldn’t be a strange thing to look at, but the function is easy to use."

I learned that Xu Jiu just I only learned about the refinement formation because of an accident. The manager suddenly became a little distracted. He directly changed the subject and turned to continue to unload the stones, but he was pinched as soon as his waist was bent down.

"I want to know what the refinement formation is!"

Under the cold voice line, what is hidden is the unshakable will, the manager only feels his own body in this brief moment As if he had lost control, he turned his head and looked towards the young man beside him who was still groaning with a smile not long ago, his forehead was suddenly filled with cold sweat.

He seemed to have just come back to his senses from his own thinking, the smile on his face disappeared, and his body writhed with a terrifying imposing manner that made his body tremble uncontrollably, the store manager only felt There was a burst of blackness in front of me.

As if the light in the store must avoid his power!

But just for an instant, this imposing manner disappeared without a trace again, the hand on his shoulder was released, and the youth turned back to the item that was pulling a cart. , Guests glanced around.

"You..."

The store manager straightened up and swallowed. For a while, it was speechless.

"I actually lied to you just now. I'm going to visit the sub-level singular area ruins recently... In fact, my purpose of coming to this store is actually to listen to a seller. The youngster in the mask said that you have equipment suitable for use in the sub-special zone."

The short imposing manner exploding Xu Jiu was indeed unintentional, but it does not prevent him from continuing to ask, and it seems There are also some promotion effects. After thinking about it, I continue to say,

"The relic formation in that special area happened to be involved in the refinement formation. You should understand how dangerous this kind of place is. I'm trying to figure out what refinement formation is, but I haven't been able to collect this information. I heard this information just now. I'm in a hurry... I hope you don't care."

Can you really not care?

If you were an ordinary guy, I would have kicked you out a long time ago, regardless of whether you were helping or not!

No matter how many thoughts are in my mind, the store manager touched his bald scalp, still said with a smile,

"It’s okay, but I don’t know this aspect very well. The content of... well, it's not a secret anyway, you want to know that I can tell you, but you have to buy something in my store later."

"No Question."

Xu Jiu as it should be by rights's nodded promise, he was here to buy something.

If he can obtain information about crystal stone or flesh and blood refinement formation, he naturally doesn't care about spending money, but 1 as the two exchanges deepen, Xu Jiu soon discovered that what the store manager just said was not an excuse. .

This refinement formation is really not a secret thing, and the store manager does not know much about it.

"It must be the official exploration team in various places that first discovered this refinement formation, because this kind of refinement formation appears the most in the more mysterious ruins, and only the official team has the strength to carry out these places. Explore a large area."

Roughly cleaned up the shop’s living room, and put up a temporary closure sign outside, and the manager who returned to the lobby had an extra scroll in his hand.

"When the folk pioneers began to explore some of the relics in depth, this conspicuous refinement formation was naturally discovered gradually. At first, the people who discovered the refinement formation didn’t know much about this thing, and only regarded it as architectural decoration. The patterns used, until a few years ago, someone accidentally discovered a refinement formation in a ruin that was prepared for casting materials, and activated it by coincidence, which made many people realize that these patterns are simply not patterns, but have The refinement formation of magical ability!"

While speaking, the manager unfolds the scroll in his hand and shows the refinement formation carved on it to Xu Jiu.

"magical ability?"

I glanced at the symbols and lines everywhere in the refinement formation, and compared it with the array of flesh and blood in my mind.

Regardless of the complexity of the two refinement formations or the number of runes, simply do not exist at the same level.

"Yes, as long as you find the right materials and incantion, you can activate these refinement formations, and then induce their unique abilities, and this is precisely the most difficult place, because there are basically no relics in the special area. There are living creatures that can communicate, and things like books that can retain information have long been wiped out in extreme environments."

"A single refinement formation is generally not like a child’s graffiti. Any meaning, so the spread of this stuff is not widespread, and only some Great Influence is collecting them...I haven’t heard of anyone who has researched the secrets."

Putting away the scroll on the counter, the store manager looked at the looked thoughtful Xu Jiu and added another sentence,

"In fact, even if the effect is really studied, it is of little use at all, because according to the initial test The theory given by the person who developed the effect of refinement formation does not create anything out of thin air, but needs to follow a certain rule. Most of the results shown in the end are also related to construction, that is, craftsmen like me will want to pass this A refinement formation is used to complete a technological breakthrough. If someone else finds this refinement formation, most of it will be rubbed and sold."

The manager's implication is very simple.

This refinement formation looks very magical, even involving extraordinary abilities, but in fact, not many people recognize their value at all.

Because of this, Xu Jiu, who focused most of his attention on dangerous matters when searching for the information on the relics of the singular area, never found this information.

Refinement formation is not difficult to find, otherwise the store manager will not take it out so easily, but the corresponding materials and incantation want to collect completely but it is as difficult as heavenly ascension .

Unfortunately, even if you find it in the end, the effect is likely to be the perfect bonding of two bricks...

With the time and energy, make some money, and then find a way to Wouldn't it be better to become a qualified person or simply make a prosthetic transformation?

"Then you were studying it just now?"

"Yes, this scroll was obtained by my trustee. I don't know the corresponding materials and incantion, so I just I want to use other mechanical devices to stimulate, you should see the result."

"Uh...You're quite something!"

While speaking, Xu Jiu But his sight is always parked on the reel.

No matter what.

The crystal stone and flesh and blood are made into an array, and he finally found a clue to one of them!
