On the fifth second when the alarm clock rang, Cheng Lin finally opened his eyes, turned off the alarm clock, got up, dressed, washed and brushed his teeth.
While washing his face, he noticed that his eyes were a little red, which meant lack of sleep.
Fourth-level practitioners still have no characteristics beyond human beings and cannot live without food. They still have to eat on time and eat more than ordinary people.
Sleep is also essential.
Cheng Lin practiced until three o'clock in the morning last night, and then went to bed.
I barely woke up at this time and felt dizzy.
I found the little "bronze-colored" tree that was left in the spiritual world, ate it, and managed to regain some energy.
"According to experience, this projection should have appeared last night. Seven or eight hours later, Terry should have received the news. We don't know where the projection will appear this time and how many there will be."
Taking a towel to wipe off the water droplets on his face, Cheng Lin looked at himself in the mirror, thinking in his mind.
As expected from this projection, it must be a desert map... Yeah, but I can't tell where it is now.
Especially after projection opens up a new dimension of "floating land", its location becomes more and more arbitrary.
When Cheng Lin went out, he even prepared to look up and see a projection floating on his head. Of course, this is the best situation.
Compared to the location of the projection, Cheng Lin was more concerned about the internal conditions of this projection.
This time is very different from before!
After counting the previous projections, Cheng Lin basically understood the situation before entering.
Only this time, he knew very little about the internal conditions of the projection.
"The only information I currently have is that the projection is a desert terrain, and there are a lot of monsters in it... There is no specific information about the monsters. After all, they are 'new monsters' that have evolved over thousands of years. This
Both pieces of information are of little use..."
Cheng Lin was a little worried.
This was the first time he faced this situation.
If in previous explorations, he could gain an advantage by relying on his understanding of it, then this time... he is almost on the same starting line as other explorers.
In fact, there was even more confusion in his mind. What was the function of that "holographic image"?
Shaking his head, he threw away the doubt.
He quickly got dressed, took his textbooks and walked out of the single-family building.
…
The college is still quiet.
When Cheng Lin opened the door and entered the classroom, he saw students sitting around in twos and threes discussing something.
The atmosphere was warm and different from before.
Seeing Cheng Lin come in, some students stopped talking and cast envious glances.
The news that he had been promoted to the fourth rank had already spread, which made the students in Class 3 feel proud but also felt a little bit of unreal envy.
Who would have thought that this guy who entered school with everyone three months ago would now have a level of cultivation comparable to that of the two deputy chiefs?
"What are you talking about?"
Cheng Lin, however, did not have the airs of a "fourth-grade big shot" and remained as usual.
I walked over and saw a few boys chatting, so I took the initiative to ask.
The boys suddenly became very reserved. Only the fat boy Tang Jinding inside was more relaxed.
After hearing this, he quickly said: "Cheng Lin, don't you know, a new projection has appeared!"
"oh?"
"Look, this is the news pushed by the college this morning. It is said that the first people to discover it were a group of self-driving travelers. They discovered the projection after they woke up from camping in the wild and quickly reported it to the government."
"Is that so? Where is the projection?"
"The one currently known is in Taklimakan." Tang Jinding said.
Cheng Lin was slightly startled, and it took him two seconds to finally remember the location of this place name on the Xia Kingdom's territory.
The northwest corner is quite remote.
And with subsequent inquiries, he learned more information.
This projection is not of the "floating" type, but appears normally on the surface.
Judging from what has been discovered, this projection seems to be a desert terrain, which just overlaps with the desert in reality.
This is quite interesting.
The more interesting news came at noon.
According to satellite detection, a total of four projections have been found in China this time, and these four projections all overlap with the real desert.
There are a total of eight deserts in the Xia Kingdom, and in this projection, Takalamakan occupies two.
The distance between the two is very close, it is said that it is no more than 40 kilometers.
This gave Cheng Lin some other ideas.
"According to past experience, each projection is completely consistent. They are just like copied and pasted from the same parent. Just like the Hejian, there is only one sword originally, but after projection and copying, it becomes
A lot...It's a pity that the projections in the past were far away from each other and had time restrictions, which meant that I couldn't enter the two projections at all, but this time...it seems that I have a chance."
"To build the spirit gathering ceremony array, you need a full 300 elite magic cores. Before, I was worried about whether there would be so many elite monsters in one projection. Now it seems... if one projection is not enough, two projections will be needed.
Is it enough?"
Cheng Lin even found a domestic map and carefully calculated the distribution positions of the four projections.
If the transportation can keep up, he can theoretically even visit all four projections. Of course, this is theoretical, and it is almost impossible in practice.
The two adjacent projections are enough for him to use.
"The only problem now is how to get over it... If it really doesn't work, we can only use the old method."
Cheng Lin calculated and found that he still had 100 contribution points left in his account, which was quite sufficient.
So, at one o'clock in the afternoon, when the counselor had just returned to the office after dinner, he saw Cheng Lin already standing at the door waiting for him.
The counselor immediately had some bad premonitions.
"Cheng Lin...you're not here to ask for leave, are you?"
Cheng Lin smiled: "You still understand me."
"..." The counselor grinned, but after a moment he shook his head and said, "I can't make the decision in this matter."
He knew very well that Cheng Lin's so-called "asking for leave" was actually to sneak into the projection, and this was a serious violation of the regulations. How could he, a young counselor, dare to criticize it?
"When will Dean Huang come back? Or give her a call?" Cheng Lin thought for a while and asked.
Huang Yin was not at the college at this time, so she was probably really stimulated by Cheng Lin and ran out to "travel".
Just when the counselor was looking embarrassed, a person suddenly walked over from the corridor: "No need to look for her, Cheng Lin, pack your things and prepare to leave for the projection with the department."
The two of them turned around and saw that the person speaking was actually Vice President Kong, who was in charge of executive affairs.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Lin asked in surprise.
Vice President Kong explained: "I just received news from the Imperial Capital Headquarters. After negotiation, this projection will adopt a joint exploration mechanism. Our Ninth Division will also send a team of elites to explore. Deputy Division Huang just told me
I made a phone call and said that I would select a few students with high cultivation levels from the academy and send them there together. Get ready to get off. The bus is in three hours, so don’t delay."
so good?
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of joy, but then he thought of an important question and asked nervously: "Which projection are we going to explore?"
Vice President Kong said calmly: "Taklimakan No. 2 projection!"
