"Hope?" Jiang Bei was a little confused, "What does that mean?"
The girl thought for a while: "It refers to the longing for the future, beautiful wishes or ideals, or the object of ideals. Generally speaking, it refers to the motivation for beautiful spiritual life and the psychological state that drives people to welcome the future optimistically."
"Stop, I didn't say to look it up in the dictionary. Of course I know what this word means." Jiang Bei made a pause gesture, "I mean what does this mean to us? What does it have to do with helping me extend my life?"
"Well, we have to start with the source of our abilities."
"Isn't it a plot that your home planet is about to end, and then someone puts you in a rocket and launches you here? Later, you won't have a cousin who prefers to wear underwear outside, right?"
The girl looked at him strangely: "How did you come up with this setting?"
"It's nothing, you continue." Jiang Bei covered his waist and sat down.
"This power is different from other extraordinary things that your world knows. Most of the other extraordinary things come from the fragments in the 'abyss'. They are fragments of God's power that leak out and float in the endless abyss for a long time. They are extremely accidental.
The product of circumstances revealed to the present world.”
Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment after hearing this. This state of half-understanding reminded him of a high-level mathematics class in college, where the professor was sweating profusely and the students were motionless below. In the end, there was nothing in their stomachs.
"Hey, is it that your extraordinary concepts in this world are hidden from the common people? It doesn't matter. You just need to know that our abilities are completely different from those inferior imitations obtained from fragments.
This ability is the result of the strong expectations and longing calls for help from all the survivors in a desperate world. It is truly a great miracle."
The girl's face turned serious, and her beautiful face became more serious than ever. That look made Jiang Bei feel like a devout believer who was explaining the doctrine.
"This power is a torch given to explorers in the darkness, passed from one person's hands to another, passed down from generation to generation.
It is a striving ideal that brings all those who gather under the fire to follow.
But one day, the guardians will stand side by side with this light.
One day, with its help, the guardians will be able to create their own miracles."
Jiang Bei was silent for a long time, as if he was recalling the meaning of these words and the burden that came with this power. Until he finally couldn't hold back his words.
"Well, I always feel like it's a bit spoiling the atmosphere at times like this, but I really want to ask if this has anything to do with helping me fake the resurrection of a corpse?
It’s not that I mean to interrupt, it’s just that I really don’t want to turn into a hyena.”
Jiang Bei said this from the bottom of his heart. Although it sounded very lofty, if it was put in a hero movie with a sensational BGM or something, he might really be incited. However, he still cares more about his little one than those noble and great ideals.
Life.
The girl pouted: "Of course. You noticed that your library value has increased, right?"
Jiang Bei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"So what I just told you is the principle behind how this power is driven. It was bred in response to the strong desire of the guardians, so naturally it needs the same thing to feed back in order to maintain its existence and become stronger and stronger
.
The fuel created through this ability will directly affect the value of this world. On the one hand, it will help you better integrate and use this power, and on the other hand, it will continue to extend your remaining lifespan in this world until you are completely resurrected."
This time Jiangbei seemed to understand.
Human light, right? This is easy to understand. You should have understood it earlier.
It feels a bit like an alternative belief, as if gods want to absorb faith from believers and convert it into energy. It's just different from this traditional belief model. In comparison, it is more like people's longing and longing for the "S" of Superman.
Trust, it's a bit like the citizens in the tokusatsu dramas when he was a kid, using flashlights to charge Ultraman.
Jiang Bei took a deep breath and began to feel the pressure.
The Superman girl told him that he only had two weeks to a month left, the details were uncertain. But in short, what he had to do was to earn as much bank value as possible before the time expired. The higher the bank value, the more he could renew.
The longer your life will be.
Until one day, if the bank value he earns cannot catch up with the speed of life span consumption, then after finishing spreading flowers, he may have to go back and be reborn as a hyena.
"You really don't remember what you came here for?" He couldn't help but ask again.
Not only did he get the chance to resurrect from the dead, but it also came with a Superman experience card for the bunker, which made Jiangbei even more uneasy. It was like waking up and suddenly having an extra ten million in his account, and the money was hot to the touch.
"I really don't remember. But it doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry." The girl said leisurely, one of her slender white legs resting on the armrest of the sofa in an awkward manner, "As long as you continue to increase your base value, the power we share will also
Slowly become stronger. I will definitely remember it when the time comes."
As he spoke, he happily ate his snacks again, without seeming to be thinking seriously at all.
Jiangbei: "."
That’s all.
In the past, if such a super girl suddenly appeared from the sky and didn't want to give away super powers for free, he would probably not dare to accept it. But now he seems to have no option to refuse.
Jiang Bei temporarily put aside those troublesome questions: "By the way, speaking of which, I haven't asked your name yet."
"name?"
The girl blinked her eyes, frowned and thought for a moment.
"Well, what do you think my name should be?"
Jiang Bei was speechless for a moment, wondering if you could ask me your name?
"Oh, it's so troublesome. Let me think about it, it happens to be the seventh generation when this ability is passed on to me, so you can just call me Xiaoqi."
Jiangbei: "."
"It doesn't matter what you call it. Listen carefully, the next thing is the most important thing."
Seeing that Xiao Qi's expression became serious again, Jiang Bei couldn't help but cheer up and hold his breath, like a general who was getting ready to go out to meet the imperial edict.
".I'm hungry." Xiaoqi's mouth narrowed and she pointed at the potato chips and biscuits with only packaging bags left on the table, "I want to eat."
Jiangbei: "."
Youdao is a man of iron rice and steel, and he will feel hungry if he doesn't eat even one meal. After she mentioned Jiang Bei like this, he realized that he seemed to be very hungry too, but he was too focused on his poor waist just now to notice it.
Indeed, you still have to eat anyway. Especially since the activity just now consumed a lot of physical energy, replenishing energy does seem to be more important than before.
Jiang Bei picked up his phone and ordered a takeout from Golden Arches. The takeout was delivered to his door in a moment.
Hamburg was also a novelty to Xiao Qi. She tentatively bit off a piece, chewed it twice, and then her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world.
"This is delicious!" Xiao Qi was happy, "Sure enough, I saved the wrong person!"
Jiang Bei was also munching on burgers and fried chicken, feeling as if he had never been so hungry in his life.
His intuition told him that if he activates the suit in its current state, he might actually collapse and die. So although the Superman experience card is very cool, it seems that it still cannot be used casually. Indeed, as Xiaoqi said, he still has
It's not long-lasting, and it takes a while to recover after just one use.
In order to ensure that there is no embarrassing situation where skills are on CD when you need to go into battle, the use time of the Superman Experience Card needs to be planned appropriately.
"By the way, try this."
Jiang Bei took out two cups of milk tea from the bag, one iced and one hot. He handed the iced cup to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi took a sip and showed a somewhat incomprehensible expression.
"It's very cold, but still hard." She said with disdain, "It doesn't taste good."
"Oh, I must have sucked the ice cubes." Jiang Bei smiled, "I said that milk tea should be drunk hot, but I heard that girls like iced tea. Obviously, hot milk tea tastes better."
He shut up as he spoke.
Because I suddenly realized that the way Xiao Qi looked at him was not quite right.
"."
After a while, Xiao Qi held the hot milk tea and took a big sip with her small mouth towards the straw. The white milk was sucked into her mouth along the pipe.
The super girl showed a happy and satisfied smile: "This tastes delicious!"
On the side, Jiang Bei held a glass of iced milk tea and carefully took a sip.
