Chapter 108:
In the center of the calm, solid, and stable spiritual vortex, a small piece of aggressive, fierce, and turbulent dark red flame was burning.
Tang Xiao could hear the beating of her heart, but she knew that it was not the time to relax.
She has to test again and again to make sure she is really successful.
The last piece of black matter was also swallowed up by the flames, and the flames had no more fuel, beating restlessly in place. A strong desire for aggression came from it, reaching the bottom of Tang Xiao's heart, causing her to frown slightly.
But she was not affected, but kept it in place, the surrounding spiritual power was majestic and immovable like a mountain, in stark contrast to the restless flames in the middle.
It didn't take long for the flames to slowly withdraw from the gluttonous attack state and quiet down. It began to be a little curious about the surrounding environment, beating and trying to get closer to the spiritual power—
Luo Er reminded: [Host! 】
Tang Xiao: "It doesn't matter."
Sure enough, the flame jumped close to the spiritual force, and the spiritual force did not respond. The flame glared at it curiously, and finally leaned towards the spiritual power - at the moment when the two touched each other, the surging flame disappeared without a trace, leaving only the pure black spiritual power floating in the air.
As Tang Xiao’s thoughts changed, several black spiritual powers merged into one, and instantly entered the energy tank of the sea of consciousness, and at this moment, the energy tank also began to change—
The two petals that belonged to the power of thunder and lightning and spiritual power slowly turned into a disc shape of yin and yang. The spiritual power that Tang Xiao used skillfully, the other is black, which is the black spiritual power that was just born. The power of lightning flashing silver current is divided into two small circular grooves up and down, and it is transformed into black and white energies, and the source is endless.
At first glance, it looks a bit similar to Tai Chi!
The energy meter will not deceive people, it automatically changes into this, which means that there are three different energy/powers in Tang Xiao’s sea of consciousness at this moment, namely the power of lightning, spiritual power and black spiritual power .
Tang Xiao tried to transform the spiritual power and the black spiritual power into each other. After the transformation, the thick black seemed to be diluted a little, revealing a dark red background. Each time she was tempered like this, she became more and more aware, and the induction and control of new energy began to be as easy as breathing.
Until the little new energy was fully tempered, Tang Xiao frowned, and a sharp pain burst from the brain, which was a sign that her mental power had been exhausted, reminding her that she could not Keep going, or you'll only hurt yourself.
The mouth was a bit fishy and sweet, Tang Xiao wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, raised his head, and saw Xiaoguang Tuanqi Ai next to her, looking a little worried.
[Host, the database shows that when humans commit suicide, they often choose methods that severely consume their own mental power…]
Tang Xiao: "…"
She smiled helplessly: "I have no thoughts of suicide, don't worry."
On the contrary, she is very happy now, even if the severe pain crosses her brain again and again, it cannot hinder her smile.
It's a pity that we can't continue refining the remaining Devil Seeds today. It seems that we can only continue on another day.
Before leaving the Sea of Consciousness, Tang Xiao recruited new abilities. Seeing the light-black "spiritual power" surrounding her, probing her brain to feel close, she pondered for a moment, "The current appearance is just the carrier of your flame, it seems that the body is not in the state of spiritual power, but fire. "
"—then call your karma fire."
***
Leaving the sea of consciousness and returning to the alliance domain, Tang Xiao discovered that he was soaked in sweat and felt cool.
She first went to the bathroom to take a shower, then wiped her hair and walked out of the bedroom, and saw the "lover" cutting fruit in the open kitchen. Pieces are perfect.
He hummed a little tune, put the cut fruit into the plate, then waved his hand lightly, and threw the fruit and plate into the trash can.
Tang Xiao: ? ? ?
The lover saw Tang Xiao come out and greeted with a smile, "Dear, you're out"
Tang Xiao: "What are you doing?"
The lover gestured to the fruit knife in his hand and replied with a smile: "I'm playing with cutting fruit. I heard people outside say that cutting fruit is very interesting, so I played a bit, and it was really interesting"
As soon as he finished speaking, he neatly threw the freshly cut fruit bowl into the trash can, making a crisp cracking sound.
Really only cut fruit for fun.
If you don't look at the result, the handsome man is still very pleasing to cut the fruit seriously... Of course, you have to ignore the doorbells one after another.
Tang Xiao: "How long has the doorbell rang?"
The lovers pointed their lips and blinked, "Like an hour? Two hours? I can't remember."
Tang Xiao: "…"
She walked over to open the door, and the moment she passed the "lover", she whispered: "For us humans, cutting fruit is the process of eating, you may forget this. ."
The blade paused slightly, and the man's smile also solidified on his face.
Opening the door, Mary appeared outside the door with a serious expression, her movements were still in the state of ringing the doorbell, and she was a little stiff.
"Oh, Tang, Xiao, it's really, nice to see you again."
Mary slowly retracted her arm, opened her mouth, and said the exact same lines as the NPC in the game.
I don't know if it was an illusion, Tang Xiao noticed that Mary was not looking at him for the first time, but glanced around the living room with sharp eyes... Just like the antivirus software noticed something abnormal, Quickly scan for viruses in general.
Perhaps after staying with System Luo Er for a long time, Tang Xiao was able to subconsciously substitute Mary's movements into various command behaviors of a "program".
For example, now, the other party says congratulations step by step, that is, after the antivirus program does not find the virus, the temporary command is cancelled, controlled by the main program, and continues to set "Tang Xiao" as the current first command .
After saying these lines, Mary sat down on the sofa very spontaneously and put the documents in her hand on the coffee table.
"Tang, Xiao, in view of your heroism and performance in resisting the doomsday, you have become the recognized savior of the league, NB company has sent an invitation to you, signed this contract, you are the senior of NB company Staff, enjoy superiority and treatment.”
According to the plot in "Infinite Doomsday", the player is already an "employee" of the NB company. Although the game background does not give any position, but after thinking about it, I also know that it should only be a registered place at the bottom.
"Savior" is the identity that the player will really get.
Tang Xiao picked up the document and swiped it from beginning to end. It was not different from what he knew before. It was probably what the players would benefit from.
The document was put back, Tang Xiao was not interested: "If I don't join the NB company, what will be the consequences?"
Mary didn't expect Tang Xiao to give such an answer, she rarely showed a puzzled expression, raised her eyebrows, and said inexplicably, "Tang, Xiao, you mean you don't want to join the NB company. ?"
"No, such a precedent." She shook her head and pushed the document in front of Tang Xiao again, "Signing the document is the best result for you."
Tang Xiao analyzed another meaning: "That is to say, even if I don't join the NB company, there will be no consequences, but I won't get the preferential treatment they give me. So It is entirely possible for me to refuse to sign this document."
Mary looked at Tang Xiao, what she showed before was a stereotyped attitude, like an NPC who was only responsible for reading lines and announcing bad news, but at this glance, Tang Xiao suddenly felt that she was a little bit Like a real person.
Tang Xiao recalled that the Union clerk once said that "Mary" belongs to the Convention and is the first intelligent life form to be created.
Intelligent lifeforms were originally born from the convention, and later were found by NB company to mass produce and began to wholesale on a large scale.
And the first batch of life forms, they have powerful abilities, Mary is one of the best.
She shouldn't be like this now, her speech is stuttering, her behavior is rigid and rigid, and even her thinking seems to be a little slow.
Tang Xiao keenly noticed that compared to when she first entered the game, Mary's actions were slower, although her face was still sharp and serious, but it seemed to have been drawn by a few years, not obvious wrinkles, the whole person gets old.
Mary looked at Tang Xiao seriously for a moment, and after confirming that she really didn't want to join the NB company, she shook her head, "You will, regret it."
She opened the document and pushed the red one to Tang Xiao. It is clearly written that NB Company will give the life subsidy of the savior foundation to help it remove the radiation of the copy world and prolong its life.
Mary: "You entered the dungeon twice in a row, and the radiation was very deep. I can see that your remaining life is very short. Joining the NB company is the best choice, they will give you more many lives."
Tang Xiao asked, "Can you see the radiation level on me?"
Mary froze for a moment, nodded, then took out a watch-sized instrument and handed it to Tang Xiao: "If you die, it will be the loss of the entire alliance. For this reason, I can make an exception to show what you have left. Life, hopefully you'll change your mind."
This time, her attitude was less routine, but more sincere. Tang Xiao took the instrument without hesitation and tied it to his wrist.
The moment it touched the skin, the screen of the instrument quickly changed from white to dark red as if it was corroded by something, and a beep alarm sounded, and a red exclamation mark kept jumping on it.
Tang Xiao clicked his tongue, "I am now like a mobile radiation source."
After the alarm stopped, a light curtain popped up from the small screen, and several lines of information appeared on it.
[Name: Tang Xiao]
[Radiation level: severe depth, critically endangered]
[Remaining life time: 24 hours]
Life remaining, 24 hours!
For some reason, Tang Xiao didn't feel much surprise when he saw the last line of information.
She just thought it was funny.
"Throw a person into the dungeon world, and then pull it out after being irradiated to say that I can prolong your life, which is different from beating a person to death and feeding them poison, and then as long as you work for me, What's the difference if I just give you the antidote?"
It's a waste of time. How to download the copy is my own business, and it does not belong to anyone."
Tang Xiao tilted his head and gestured to the gate, "Please."
For the official players who have cleared the novice dungeon, the alliance has no means of coercion, and Mary finally got up.
"I belong to the whole league, and I have never represented NB company, but for all players, NB company is their best choice. Let the savior live as much as possible for the league's It is my responsibility to create more possibilities in the future."
"If you insist on refusing, then I only hope that you will live longer."
Mary finally persuaded: "In the player's hall in the central city of the Alliance, you can use life points to purchase radiation removal services. If you can clear the advanced dungeon and become a high-level player, the radiation that gathers on you will follow the Time disappears by itself, that's the only way you can survive."
Perhaps because the rare life point is a well-known common sense in the alliance, Mary looked at Tang Xiao at this time, and there was an inexplicable sadness towards the dying person.
She opened the door and left the room with one last sentence:
"The last novice dungeon you cleared has ended. This time, many official players have been born, and there may be people you know. Go and have a look."
Tang Xiao: ...I'm not dead yet, thank you.
