How am I still alive

Chapter 159 Study hard
["No.30 seven days of the journey, the Holy Order's supplies are running low, but we still haven't found any signs of the next torch"

"... Aker mutated, right in front of my eyes, he twisted into a lump of flesh in an instant, and was shot dead by the knight on the spot. Is it because of food? Is there not enough 'light', or is it simply lost determined to keep going.”

"...Great, we finally found the promised land in the ancient book. We got a clean water source, there are only a few low-level monsters outside, it is not too difficult to deal with, the most important thing is that we found the 'torch ', ah, what a perfect light, I had a good sleep last night, I actually dreamed but the thought of going back, walking the path of pain all over again, I just..."

"The head of the knights said that this is our new territory in the future, and he is our new lord. Although everyone is a little hesitant, no one objects. Or, everyone is looking forward to it"]

Lu Pingan put down the notebook in his hand, the "Sphinx's buff" was very effective, when he successfully copied the pollution knowledge for two and a half hours.

At this time, he was reading at night with the lamp on.

He didn't leave the "factory", and directly found a local hotel to live in.

And his desk was already full of tattered second-hand books and second-hand notes, if observed with spiritual vision, they were more or less polluted.

This is what he gained from shopping in the daytime. With the "savvy" BUFF, he naturally used it to improve his professional ability as a scholar. Those two LV7s were always stuck at the super threshold of his advancement.

Since he aims to improve his "reading and writing" skills, the books he chooses are naturally special. In other words, they are cost-effective.

"I didn't expect that this kind of pollution-intensive but cheap books would be books and travel notes from other worlds"

When you think about it, it's only natural. "Travel Notes" and "Geography of Other Worlds" sound interesting and interesting to read, at least Lu Ping'an is really fascinated by it.

But they are meaningless.

The content contained in it may be precious knowledge for other worlds, or the secrets of a certain history of a certain god, but for Lu Pingan, a local earthling, it is also a very interesting novel. Although the The protagonists are basically real people, and few of them live to finish the book.

Maybe you may use it when traveling long distances, but that may not know how many zeros after the decimal point.

A bunch of books that are polluted by the amount of knowledge are only a few tenths of the price of other "useful books". Most of them are second-hand, transcripts, and incomplete books, which further reduces their practical value.

After all, incompleteness and transcription mean that knowledge is incomplete and not original, and incomplete or tampered "knowledge" is an unexploded mine that may kill readers at any time.

The owner of the bookstore was overjoyed when he saw Lu Pingan, who was "practicing his skills", taking away a bunch of unsalable items.

But on the other hand, Lu Pingan didn't feel that he was at a loss.

".As expected of a silver-level consumable buff, it's really powerful."

The elf didn't lie, but he didn't tell the whole story either. Obtaining this BUFF is not easy, and the other side of being powerful is high risk.

It is true that the first failure will only lose the arm, but the pain and fear will immediately bring the second quiz game. The second failure will lose your head, and if there is a third failure, it will be your heart. Directly on the rule level Send you back to the west.

It was a seemingly harmless gamble, but since Lu Pingan won, he naturally gained a lot.

Lu Pingan has never been exposed to the silver-level BUFF. Coupled with the limitations of short-term expendability and passive type, if Lu Pingan's "savvy" helps in the short term, reading these books will not be tiring, and even Even foreign language has increased a lot. What bothered him the most before was actually the fun of the book.

Now watching the "protagonists" die one by one, he couldn't stop.

But are these things really meaningless?That's not necessarily the case, what Lu Pingan saw from it was a completely different worldview, or in other words, a bold idea.

"Perhaps, our current civilized society is not the only choice"

The world of the translation transcript that Lu Pingan got now is quite delicate.

Humans or creatures similar to humans who can write books live like pets or even bugs. The wild is extremely dangerous. There are all kinds of monsters and even evil gods everywhere. If a person walks alone in the wilderness, he will basically mutate after a few days.

A large number of fortress cities have become human gathering points, and the "torch" of order dispels the surrounding darkness, and also limits the upper limit of the town's population. Even though the technological innovation in some places has surpassed the earth, feudalism and theocracy are still society. mainstream, slavery even became a kind of salvation in some areas.

"Hehe, the situation in our world has deteriorated again, will it return to the era of such a city-state?"

Lu Ping'an's thinking is not unfounded. Among the recent series of reforms, there is one "relocation of sparsely populated small and medium-sized villages and towns to medium and large cities", which is to reduce the cost of maintaining social stability.

I have to admit that these messy transcripts from different worlds have greatly expanded Lu Pingan's vision and made him think about his future.

【"The new source is not far away, not far away!"

"The first batch of seeds was only two hundred, but two survived! Their mutation. Their strength has reached the level of 'unicorn'. Great, when they grow up, we can grab another source .”

".We need to eat more and have more mutations to ensure the advantage of our group, those damned flying beasts."】

The world view mentioned in this fragment is exactly the opposite of the previous two.

The main races in the previous world are actively avoiding pollution and unstoppable mutation, which increases the number of races.

As for the race of "book scholars" in the latter world, they are not the only intelligent and civilized race in their own world, they are just members of a huge competitive group.

In their world, the "pollution source" has become a resource instead, allowing the tribe to mutate more and possess special abilities, which is the advantage of the tribe in competing for living space and resources.

Turn into a monster?Who cares, if it is slow, it will become the rations of other ethnic groups.

As for most of the mutants losing their rationality or even losing their bodies?It has become the price the world must pay. Their tolerance for the "grotesque" of their own race is astonishingly high, and they even regard it as a kind of beauty and fashion.

All intelligent races are crazily competing to compete who becomes more insane, who can eat more "pollution" in the upper reaches of the food chain, and obtain more "total pollution ratio". This number is used to ensure the overall strength of the ethnic group , as well as the overall advantage in the competition for survival.

It is worth mentioning that if Lu Pingan did not miscalculate, considering the mutation speed of both sides, the "pollution degree" of the two worlds is actually about the same.

Lu Pingan silently covered the book on his face, and "writing" both broke through the lv6 system prompt, allowing him to think calmly while taking a little bit of time.
"These two worlds should be 'highly polluted' worlds. The earth was 'lowly polluted' 50 years ago, but now it should be 'moderately polluted'."

The degree of pollution between the world and the world, if you use an easy-to-understand analogy, can be seen as the difference between "deep water area" and "shallow water area".

As a result of the "big call", a world with a low degree of pollution has entered the "moderately polluted area", which has also led to a series of changes now.

Each world has completely different survival attitudes and systems. Lu Pingan is a little fascinated, and he understands those "traveling dogs" who have nothing to do.

But among these "stories", what he cares more about is the existence of "god" and "profession".

From the beginning to the end, he did not see the Almighty in the Bible story, only a special and powerful existence, a super pollution source at a high point, and the power derived from him.

The ability system is similar to the human occupation system, and other worlds are more or less alike. Many worlds have "occupations", but they are exactly the same, and none of them exist.

Imitating and marking the path of a certain high-end creature, engraving and copying its evolutionary path of growth path is one of the general ideas for dealing with pollution in all worlds.

Some are fast, some are slow, some are stable and some are gambling with dogs. Lu Pingan asked the big cats, and there are even human-specific occupations that transform in other worlds.

Moreover, among many systems, the human occupational system is considered to be growing slowly but more stable, unlike some systems where upgrading to a level is a gamble of one's life.

He also guessed that these power systems are also directly linked to the pollution level of the world.

In the past, humans could not produce great gods, maybe it was just because the pollution level was not high enough. Those who competed for the "world pollution ratio", there were not many powerful races that looked the same in the whole family, which gave Lu Pingan a deep impression.

Thinking, thinking, and calculating, Lu Pingan continued to read at night with the lights on.

"Some plans may have to be rearranged. Since order may not be eternal, I may be too conservative"
