Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 477 One Master and Three Servants

... In the next few days, I was more tired than fighting with Shitu.

Even in the last days, the great witch obviously did not relax at all about the quality of life.

Her sheets have to be changed every day, the carpet has to be cleaned every day, there can be no hair in the bathroom, and she has detailed requirements for the fragrance of the indoor air: you can’t use air fresheners full of chemical fragrances, you have to change the air fresheners every day. Perfume and flowers.

Eau de Toilette is fine, I really don’t know where to find flowers—Lin Sanjiu simply pulled out a bunch of foxtail grass and stuffed it under her bed, secretly hoping that the big witch would not suddenly bend over because of the loss of an earring or something .

In addition to the big witch's own room, Lin Sanjiu had to be responsible for cleaning the room full of people sleeping; after all, dozens of people were crowded together, and there was no sunlight all year round. If it was not cleaned, it would soon stink.When she asked why the big witch saved so many living people, the latter raised her chin, glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Oh, you don't know how useful they are. If you can't save living people, It would be good to collect more corpses."

Seems to make sense... Lin Sanjiu nodded half-understood, thinking about it, and rushed to the next battlefield against her—although she didn't have to eat every day, the great witch would ask for a lunch or dinner from time to time.

Speaking of this, it is also quite strange.

Lin Sanjiu's culinary skills are actually worse than Ji Shanqing's, but the big witch doesn't seem to be too picky about it.It's just that after she entered the room with the dinner plate, she sent it out again not long after—except that it had been turned over, no matter how you looked at it, there was no shortage of food, as if she hadn't eaten at all.However, she can always put forward very precise opinions on Lin Sanjiu, such as "the inside of the fish is not cooked", or "you can be less brave when adding salt".

Because the big witch has too many odds and ends, after taking care of various chores such as trimming nails, ironing clothes, and even shoe shine, Lin Sanjiu found that he had no time to study the [Consciousness Mechanics Hall] and foreign cells. It's about her—and the other three are busy all the time while she's working.

"Four twos, bomb!" Qing Jiuliu happily threw down the cards in his hand, and blew the white stripe on his forehead: "Finally, it's my turn to win once!"

Just as Ji Shanqing raised his head to say something, he suddenly shut up and stuffed the king back in his hand.

Qing Jiuliu blinked, and seemed to be slowly aware of something wrong from the big witch's smile; looking back, he found Lin Sanjiu standing behind him with arms folded, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"...Smoking, drinking, and gambling are just as good, but you're pretty good at it."

"Small, small gambling."

"Stop talking nonsense, go and clean the room where the person is sleeping," Lin Sanjiu said while suddenly stretching out a bone tail from behind, rolled up the broom in the corner and stuffed it into Qing Jiuliu's arms; Looking at Ji Shanqing, her love for the gift bag has finally been consumed at this moment: "You, tie up the apron and cook."

The two looked at each other, took their brooms and aprons and left without saying a word.

"You came at a very good time." The big witch lazily threw the cards on the table, resting her chin with one hand: "...I just can't win this game. Look, they are all phone numbers."

"Great Witch." Lin Sanjiu sat down immediately and pushed all the cards away: "When will I start to awaken my consciousness?"

The big witch lit a long, thin cigarette and held it between her fingertips: "Has your evolution ability recovered?"

Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and spread her palm—although it was a bit difficult, but a faint image flashed several times in her palm, and finally it still formed the shape of a card.

"Your ability is very suitable for playing cards." The big witch's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "...Well, consciousness can also be used?"

Although abilities such as [Protective Force Field] and [Consciousness Scanning] can be used, when Lin Sanjiu tried to enter the [Consciousness Mechanics Hall], there was still only a vast darkness; let alone Teacher Yi, Even the old classrooms are gone.

"I can use my abilities, but I still can't open the [Consciousness Mechanics Hall]." She opened her eyes and said to the big witch with a little disappointment.

"Oh? That's kind of weird."

As the big witch said, she squinted her eyes in the lingering white smoke, her long eyelashes cast a shadow in her blue-gray pupils; this was obviously an aging face with flawed facial features, However, the kind of feminine charm she exuded made Lin Sanjiu feel a little thrilling——

"Hey," Lin Sanjiu came back to his senses in shock as the big witch suddenly snapped her fingers in front of her, and quickly sat up straight.

"Your consciousness is really weak." She leaned on the chair, her body naturally formed a beautiful arc: "It's really a miracle to survive the starry sky of consciousness."

"This... how to say?"

"We have to start with the basics." The big witch brushed her blond hair behind her ears and said casually, "Do you know why there are so many evolutionaries but so few people with consciousness?"

Lin Sanjiu shook his head blankly.

"Potential value is the premise and foundation for the growth of all evolutionaries. You always know this, right?"

Lin Sanjiu nodded hurriedly.

"Well, it's okay, I don't plan to literacy for you from scratch." The big witch smiled and said: "Everyone's evolutionary ability is developed on the basis of potential value, just like building a house on the foundation ; but consciousness is not — precisely, consciousness is not an evolutionary ability.”

"Isn't it?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Shut up, you look like a fool like this. Consciousness directly realizes the potential value and becomes a power that relies on will, spirit, and will. Although it comes from the same source as the evolutionary ability, it is completely It's a completely different system." The big witch frowned, and said slowly: "For example, you laid the foundation here to build a house, but someone on the other side directly took away your foundation. Use the steel bars for other purposes... This is of course not acceptable. Therefore, people whose potential value is not high enough cannot develop consciousness."

"So, the growth type is easier to develop consciousness?"

"That's right, you are not stupid. Although the potential value of the growth type is generated slowly, it is still increasing a little bit anyway, so sooner or later, the extra 'foundation' can be used to develop consciousness. But there are also extremely A few extremely talented people have inexhaustible potential from the beginning—for example, me.”

"Infinity means..."

"1972." The big witch still looked so natural when she praised herself: "...Ordinary evolutionary, even rarely exceeds 150."

1972——Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath, then suddenly thought of Lu Ze, and couldn't help but secretly lamented the injustice for him.

"Although the potential value of the growth type is not easy to digitize, it is estimated that generally speaking, it can increase by seven or eight points a year." The big witch raised her chin and said: "...Once you have the first drop of consciousness, you You can make your consciousness more and more through continuous various exercises-have you ever experienced this?"

Lin Sanjiu thought about it, and hurriedly replied yes; when she was in Kisaragi Station World, she did use compression to increase her consciousness a lot.

"Okay, this involves the two characteristics of consciousness, one is 'quality' and the other is 'quantity'." The great witch is a good teacher, even though her expression is casual, the content is still clear: "...through practice Increased consciousness, of course, means that its 'quantity' has increased. What is the benefit of quantity, you ask?"

"The amount determines what kind of related abilities you can generate."

"For your convenience, let's use numbers to refer to it—for example, you now have 100 consciousness, even if it is completely consumed, it can slowly recover to 100 over time. Then your [Consciousness Mechanics Hall] is The ability you generate can only consume a maximum of 100 consciousness."

When the big witch said this, she glanced at Lin Sanjiu, only to find that the latter's face was blank.

"...Is there anything I don't understand?" She sighed, "For example, your [Protective Force Field] only consumes 50 consciousness power every time you open it, so it can be generated smoothly, because your quantity is already enough ; But if there is another ability that consumes 120 consciousness every time you open it, then of course you won’t be able to generate it. The one that consumes a lot of power is also powerful, so if you don’t have enough, you won’t have any great abilities.”

Lin Sanjiu blinked, let out an "oh", and hurriedly asked, "What about 'quality'?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her body tilted, and she was enveloped by a sense of weightlessness; before she could react to what happened, Lin Sanjiu, including the person and the chair, were thrown by some invisible force. Throwing it far away, it hit the ground hard with a "boom", shaking the picture frames on the wall a few times.

However, from the beginning to the end, the great witch didn't even move a finger.

Climbing up from the ground in a bit of embarrassment, Lin Sanjiu couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "...this... what ability did you use?"

The big witch didn't answer, but just rolled her eyes - as soon as her gaze fell on the curtain behind Lin Sanjiu, the curtain suddenly closed, blocking the sunlight from outside.

"This is 'quality'." The big witch looked at Lin Sanjiu and smiled, "When the 'quality' improves, it means that your consciousness is stronger and more powerful. Your quality is not good, but your quantity is average ... Let me ask you, when you don't use abilities like [Defensive Force Field], what do you use your consciousness for?"

"I... I just let it go." Lin Sanjiu said a little ashamedly.

The big witch seemed to choke on the answer, and after a pause, she finally uttered two words: "Waste."

"Then I..."

"When I threw you just now, I used my consciousness!" The big witch shook her head and sighed, "As long as the 'quality' improves, your consciousness can do more and more; at the highest level, it is said that you can Makes one's mind come true - and it also helps you not be affected by the ability to confuse minds."

Lin Sanjiu immediately thought of Doctor Cat and Soul Clan.

"There is no balance between quality and quantity; after a certain level of development, you can only specialize in one of them—of course, your current level is too low, and you are still far away from that step." A knocked on the table and stood up gently.

"Then what should I do next?" Lin Sanjiu was agitated by her few words, wishing to sharpen his consciousness right away: "Mr. Yi hasn't woken up yet..."

"Don't worry, you have to know that although the common sense I told you just now is very important, it has nothing to do with waking up that Italian teacher." The big witch lowered her body as she spoke—her pair of blue-gray The pupils just looked straight into Lin Sanjiu's eyes.

"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.

"The more you understand your own consciousness," she murmured with a low laugh, and slowly put her slender fingers on Lin Sanjiu's wrist: "When I attack you with the most violent means, the more powerful you will be." Might fit me in the right way."

"Varied--"

Lin Sanjiu only had time to utter a word when she suddenly felt a pain in her head, and her vision immediately became pitch black; if it is said that Nu Wa's consciousness had sneaked into her body, then the Great Witch did not hide it at all. The surging fighting spirit, like a storm and a storm——

It was as if the protective shell had been lost, and even the spirit and soul were naked|exposed to the attack; Lin Sanjiu's subconscious cries of pain even penetrated the floors and faintly spread all the way downstairs.

Ji Shanqing and Qing Jiuliu looked at each other, their faces were a bit unhappy, but neither of them went upstairs to check the situation - as early as in the game, the big witch had already reminded them.

"I said," although Qing Jiuliu had already come down from upstairs, Qing Jiuliu was still dragging a broom in his hand: "...why do they all say you are not human?"

It looked like he was just trying to divert attention, looking for something to say - of course Ji Shanqing would not honestly confess, and muttered and replied: "You are not human."

"You are so lucky, there are no fans of mine around here." Qing Jiuliu yawned and said.

Ji Shanqing ignored him, walked quickly into the hotel kitchen, and took out a hard fish from the refrigerator - this was what Lin Sanjiu caught in the nearby lake in the morning.Putting the fish down on the chopping board with a bang, he said unhappily behind him: "Just follow along, don't mess with things."

"If you ask me to move, I won't move," Qing Jiuliu leaned against the door with his arms folded.

Perhaps it was Lin Sanjiu's faint hissing that lingered all the time, Ji Shanqing couldn't help being a little upset; he chopped off the head of the fish with a single knife, and showed two canine teeth to Qing Jiuliu irritably: "...don't whistle! "

Qing Jiuliu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately straightened up; after a pause, he said softly, "I didn't."
