Chapter 2 Seven Star Beads
Two plates of side dishes and a jug of turbid wine.
Ji Xing's dinner was plain and simple.
The monster's diet only includes the human brain, and the human viscera and flesh are barely enough, and other things can only be used to fill the stomach, and they have no taste.
But Ji Xing is different.
He ate with gusto. Because he is not an ordinary, pure monster.
When he crossed over, half of the original owner's brain had just been eaten by a monster. Under the influence of a strange force, 'Ji Xing' fused with the monster that had eaten half of his brain, becoming the current Ji Xing.
So now he is both a monster and a human being, and he can still taste the deliciousness of normal food.
It is a blessing in misfortune.
'Lucky? '
Before time-traveling, he had read countless articles on the Internet, and Ji Xing had imagined time-traveling and rebirth, but the environment of time-traveling was almost forgotten, and he was not a human anymore!
What worries him the most this month is not the strange and dangerous environment, but the fear that he will be influenced by the instinct of a demon, and really do something that will break him down... Like sticking out his tongue and licking his forehead, think about it afterwards It's not normal!
Ji Xing drank a cup of bitter wine melancholy.
Alas, I want to go home.
Want to eat brains.
Uh... damn it.
In his previous life, he had never even eaten pig's brain flower and had no desire to try it!
The influence of demon thinking on me seems to be increasing day by day, so I have to find a way.
With a flick of his eyes, he put down his wine glass and flipped his right hand. Ji Xing looked at his right wrist.
There are seven stars arranged in a spoon shape on the wrist, six of them are transparent, and one is more than half filled with a light red color, only missing a point.
Concentrating on it, another line of text appeared in Ji Xing's line of sight.
[Starlight (one star): 953/1000]
Is it still 47 points away?
This is what brought him across time, and it is also the power that fuses 'Ji Xing' and the monster.
Ji Xing temporarily called it the 'Seven Star Bead'.
He still doesn't know the function of the Seven Star Bead, other than bringing Ji Xing over here.
Because wanting to activate the seven-star beads requires a kind of energy called starlight, and after a series of explorations, Ji Xing discovered that the starlight that lights up the stars is basically equivalent to popularity and influence.
Whenever a person knows Ji Xing and knows Ji Xing, the starlight will increase by 1 point. And if this person has an emotional feeling similar to admiration for Ji Xing, the starlight will increase by a few points according to different people and the depth of the emotion.
It seems that the more 'powerful' a person is, the more they add.
Ji Xing paid special attention to it. Young chess players admire his chess ability and can give him 4 to 8 star points, while the elders basically only have 1 to 3 points.
So far, the single person who has given the most starlight is a trainee demon hunter with 12 points.
That's right, besides making a living, setting up a chess stall is also increasing one's popularity and collecting stars.
"I have to get a chess board tomorrow, and then set up a chess stall." Even if he choked to death while eating, Ji Xing would not stop setting up a stall because of today's accident.
His savings are not enough, and he can't think of a safer and more stable way to collect starlight for the time being.
This world has no internet.
"Changing the street, the day after tomorrow at the latest...the first star can be fully lit."
Don't know what will happen then.
Thinking of this, the first star on Ji Xing's wrist suddenly emitted a light red light, and the numbers on the starlight jumped——【Starlight (one star): 1003/1000】
Then a second line of text appeared: [You can capture a one-star world, do you want to capture it? 】
Um?
full!
Why the sudden increase of 50 points?
Ji Xing was slightly taken aback, and had some guesses.
Did the young demon hunter who rescued him just finish his aftermath and report the ins and outs of the demon's appearance to the superior hunter?
The 50 points are a one-time increase, and it should be given by one person. This record-breaking high amount of star power proves that the other party is very strong, so a certain high-ranking member of the Hunter's Guild in Yangliu Town knew that Ji Xing played chess and revealed the monster... ...the starlight that was given to him?
This is not over yet, followed by Starlight bouncing several times, 1018, 1044, 1062, 1079... Each time the increase is more than ten or twenty, there is no doubt that it is the demon hunters!
Ji Xing didn't know whether to be happy or worried about letting the demon hunters in the town know him in this way, but for now, this was a windfall and helped him light up the first star!
"Capture the one-star world?"
Ji Xing doesn't quite understand, capture the world?
[One-star world capture...]
[The one-star world was captured successfully. 】
[The ratio of the one-star world to the current world time is 365:1. 】
[You can choose one of the following three identities to invade the one-star world: (The choice of identity will slightly affect the talent)
1. Karate Apprentice
2. Novice novelist
3. Gangster pony]
The role of familiarity with online texts has come out.
Ordinary people may be baffled when they see these things, but Ji Xing immediately understood: the Seven Star Orb is a time travel aid!
Light up the first star, and the seven-star bead can capture a one-star world and invade it with yourself.
Then light up the second star in the same way...
【Starlight (two stars): 79/100000】
100,000? Gan, the light will not light up for a short time.
Ji Xing collected his thoughts and analyzed the information revealed in those few lines of text.
Given three identity choices, it proves that there is a high probability that it is not wearing clothes, but... Consciousness intrusion?
The time ratio is 365:1, that is to say, one year in that world, only one day here!
I just don't know if the world on the other side has 365 days as a year.
A karate apprentice, a novice novelist, and a gangster pony mean the world on the other side is a... modern civilized society?
Ji Xing's eyes lit up.
He doesn't expect that the opposite side is the world before he traveled, but when the book is used up, he hates less. After traveling to the Demon Continent, he always regrets why he didn't study hard and make progress every day. He didn't have a clue to invent something. .
Now is your chance.
More importantly, he might be able to learn how to analyze the changes in his body scientifically, and learn how to restrain the demon's instinct!
This is the most important thing to him, he really doesn't want to taste the taste of human brain flower!
And the choice of identity affects talent. From this aspect, it is not difficult to choose among the three identities.
Useless is a scholar, and the same is true for novel writers. The gangster pony, even as a teenager, might have dropped out of school, or had poor grades, and extra trouble.
Karate apprentices are obviously the best, and they can also learn some karate and improve their self-protection ability.
Demons know martial arts, no one can stop them!
Ji Xing quickly finished his meal, locked the doors and windows, and lay down on the bed.
[Choose identity: Karate apprentice]
【Invading One Star World...】
Ji Xing's consciousness sank into the unknown stars.
...
...
When Ji Xing's consciousness regained clarity, he was no longer lying on that simple wooden bed.
Step on the modern floor.
The place I was in was replaced by a large karate gym.
Ji Xing's first feeling was weakness.
It's normal, how can a normal human being compare to a demon? The identity he can choose is only a karate apprentice, not a karate master.
He adapted quickly, because his physique was the same before time travel, maybe not as good.
After getting used to this gap, the first thing he paid attention to was his own body.
The strange thing is that his consciousness seems to be divided into two parts. The main body of the demon world is still under his control, and he can move freely with his hands and feet. affect him.
The primary and secondary of the two strands of consciousness can be switched.
This relieved him of his greatest worries.
Putting his main consciousness into this one-star world, Ji Xing subconsciously raised his wrist to observe.
The wrist is slightly small, this body is obviously that of a young man, and the Seven Star Bead also came to this world with his consciousness.
No, the seven-star bead is still there in the main world, here is just the seven-star bead sub-bead, the first star of the sub-bead is not lit, it is only filled with a point.
[Starlight (one star): 12%]
[Can bring back abilities, items: 0]
"Collecting starlight in the invaded world can bring back things from the invaded world... This 12% is the original popularity of the owner of this body."
Ji Xing understood, was pleasantly surprised, and closed his eyes.
With the help of Seven Star Beads, he can receive the memory of the body he invaded.
