Chaoyang tried to respond to these wishes, but as soon as he made a move, he felt the cold gaze from the other end - it was an erosion of consciousness, and it was overwhelmingly powerful.
Even if he pulled away faster, the whole process took less than a second, but his consciousness was still greatly traumatized. For a few minutes, he felt like he had fallen into an icehouse, his body was shaking non-stop, and he could hardly think about anything.
This also gave him a deeper understanding of the difference between this place and the original world.
Chaoyang now understands that the beam of light reaching straight into the sky means that the object of prayer has already been determined. Only those weak astigmatisms that stop halfway can provide him with an opportunity to enter - such as the young man from the Brilliant Castle City Guards.
Captain, Stone Bradley.
Shi Dong's appeal is very simple, that is, to save his sister, whether it is money, medicine, or a doctor... Probably because he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, the other party did not choose a specific prayer object. In other words,
As long as someone can help him, he will accept it no matter who it is. It is this attitude that gives Chaoyang the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
This person's soul is not very powerful, but it is definitely a handful of sweet nectar for him who has been thirsty for a long time.
"Okay, it's time to calculate the income and expenses..." Chaoyang took out a notebook and wrote and drew on his own, "The amount of willpower collected in this contract is about 700... Open the border and it's about 100, and a body
The virtual image is almost fifty for half a day, six is three hundred... By the way, there are also the cost of the ship and the preparation required..."
If there is any benefit from the experience of nearly starving to death a while ago, it is that when resources were extremely scarce, Chaoyang clearly felt the process of his own decline, and was forced to learn how to break his strength in half.
.This allows him to accurately measure the amount of willpower in his body and mark it with numbers.
For example, after he sets the weight required to maintain life for one hour as one, all other consumption can be calculated based on this basic value.
After subtracting all expenses, the last number left in the notebook is two hundred and twenty-one.
This means that the remaining willpower can still allow him to live in full condition for nine days, which is less than he imagined.
When he saw this result, most of the joy in Chaoyang's heart suddenly disappeared.
"Are you mistaken? This is a contract involving human life. Why do you need so little feedback?" He couldn't help but muttered. After so much work, he only had nine extra days of life. No wonder the devil became extinct!
Generally speaking, the amount of willingness to give back depends on the individual strength of the petitioner and the specific content of the contract. Once the contract is reached, the promiser will also be restricted. If he cannot realize it in the end, he will suffer backlash from the contract.
Lost several times the will power.
If this was a job, it would be a job no one could do, but it was a pity that he couldn't quit.
We have no choice but to continue looking for the next contract partner—and we have to do it quickly.
Chaoyang planned to go around the city first to try his luck.
…
Brilliant Castle is a coastal city with vast beaches to the south and west, and industrial areas to the east, with thick black smoke rising all day long. Apart from these, Chaoyang doesn't know much more than the game participants - after all, he
Just a few days after arriving here, I discovered the life-saving straw of the different world and immediately planned the park activities. There was no extra time to get to know the city itself, let alone the area outside the Glory Castle.
So every time he takes to the streets, he will have a new feeling.
The streets here are all paved with blue bricks, and you can see drainage culverts hidden under the road on both sides, which shows that the importance of drainage is taken into consideration in urban planning. In some places in the new city, the streets are also inlaid with steel tracks.
For rail trains to pass through.
It can be seen that these passenger vehicles are all driven by steam, leaving a long white fog cloud every time they cross the street. But the strange thing is that they do not have huge steam engines, and they can stop and start very flexibly.
, far different from the steam train in Chaoyang’s memory.
However, the main means of transportation on the street are horse-drawn carriages and people.
Whether it is a carriage carrying goods or a driver pulling people, they all move among the crowd - there are no traffic rules here, and pedestrians will not receive any special care. Most of the time, the driver has to use his voice to remind passers-by who are blocking the road.
, being scratched by the carriage is just a common thing. Everything seems so chaotic, but also full of life.
Judging from the widespread use of steam power, Chaoyang judged that the technological level of Brilliant Castle was probably equivalent to that of Earth in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, what puzzled him was that he could not find any elements related to electricity in the city. According to Earth
In the history of development, electrical facilities, such as light bulbs and other gadgets, should have appeared sporadically at this stage.
Not only that, Chaoyang has also tried to create some small objects with batteries, but all ended in failure without exception.
Since he didn't have much willpower at hand, he couldn't conduct more experiments, so he could only suppress this doubt in his heart for the time being.
After all, it is very dangerous to regard this world as the earth.
——Chaoyang raised his head and glanced at the light pillars, then quickly looked back.
Even if you look at it for a little longer, it may attract the attention of some beings.
For the source of these wishes, the wish itself is a taboo that cannot be touched by others. Once he detects an out-of-bounds behavior, he will never be able to deal with it with his current ability.
This is also the main reason why Chaoyang never forgets to hide his identity.
...Wandering on the street lasted almost three or four hours, but this time he was a little unlucky and failed to meet another petitioner like Shi Dong. Even though a few people had wishes surging on their heads, but
Judging from the weight, it is basically not worth mentioning. Even without further questioning, he can guess what these wishes are. For example, if he wants to make a fortune, or find a wife, he can even satisfy such wishes.
, the final reckoning must be that one cannot make ends meet.
"Sir, sir, do you want to buy a newspaper?"
Suddenly a childish voice said.
Chaoyang turned around and found a newspaper boy looking at him longingly. He looked underage. He was about 1.34 meters tall, with slender hands and feet, but the newspaper in his arms was thicker than his body.
"Sir, there's the Daily Mail, the Herald and the Jedi Brothers. Would you like to read them? It's only two cents each."
Newspapers are a good thing, but he doesn't have time to read them.
At least not at the moment.
When Chaoyang was about to reject the newsboy, he suddenly caught a glimmer of wish in the corner of his eye.
It showed a faint white color, which was almost difficult to detect with the naked eye. If the distance was not close enough, it would be impossible for him to detect the existence of this brilliance.
Not to mention the kind of prayer that points directly to the sky, it is only about the length of a thumb, like a candle swaying in the wind, which will be blown out by the wind if you are not careful.
The light comes from the lower right corner of the newspaper.
Making wishes with things?
Chaoyang's heart moved slightly... The wish power is not like a fixed indicator that hangs on the head of anyone who needs it. It fluctuates with the behavior and state of the petitioner. For example, the wish power light beam is the largest when praying attentively.
When the prayer is less urgent, the beam of light will also become dim. Similarly, when a petitioner makes a utensil with great desire, it is also possible that part of the wishing power will be solidified on the object. Those passed down from ancient times
A treasure phantom with a soul is actually not without purpose, but after the producer passes away, these wishes will become sourceless water and dissipate little by little over time. In his era, one can only be found in museums.
There are only a few traces of the will power left.
