Alien King

Chapter 33 Black Crystal
But this full moon is not completely light yellow, it is filled with thick fog-like black air.It looks like a round glass bottle filled with black liquid in the middle.

Ye Tian understood at a glance that the black air in the middle of the full moon must be Meirou's force value.

"The size of the full moon represents the upper limit of the force value, and the density and height of the black mist represent the stock of force value." Bi Ling explained.

Ye Tian nodded, and asked again: "Can you give me a specific number?"

Bi Ling first smiled, and then said in a reproachful tone: "Aren't you going to squeeze me dry?"

Then, Bi Ling's slender fingers moved slightly, and two lines of small italic characters appeared under the full moon: 150 seven, 140 nine.

Meirou behind the perspective microscope saw these two lines of numbers, and said in surprise: "Math magic? This is an auxiliary magic that has been lost for nearly a thousand years. Sister Biling actually knows this?"

Bi Ling smiled bitterly: "My little secret was squeezed out by the adults today."

Ye Tian ignored the excitement, walked up to the Eye of Tianyue, took a closer look at the thick black fog inside, then stared at the two rows of numbers below, and asked: "Meirou's upper limit of force value is 150, what did you cast just now?" I bought dozens of throwing knives and consumed eight force points, so the remaining force value in my body is 140, right?"

Bi Ling nodded: "Exactly."

Meirou was surprised: "It's amazing, it can be so accurate."

Ye Tian asked again: "Then how can we replenish the eight points of strength that were consumed?"

Meirou smiled and said: "Of course I'm practicing." After speaking, Meirou put away her martial arts posture, sat down on the spot, and slightly closed her eyes.

After looking through the microscope, the blood flow in Meirou's body began to speed up slowly. After careful observation, Ye Tian found that part of the blood began to slowly transform into black mist.

And the number below the Eye of the Sky Moon is also changing.

140 nine, 150, 150 one, 150 two...

It wasn't until the number on the bottom row reached 150, which was exactly the same as the number on the top row, that Meirou slowly opened her eyes, stood up, smiled, and said, "Okay, I'm back."

Ye Tian nodded, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

Today is a memorable day, and I basically understand the principle of martial arts and magic energy conversion.For Ye Tian, ​​a genius with a background in science and engineering, after traveling to this world, it is undoubtedly of milestone significance to face such miraculous things as martial arts and magic that he has never seen before, and to understand their inner working principles.

Back in the room, Ye Tian hurriedly took out the paper and pen, and carefully wrote down all the experimental phenomena, results and inferences that happened today.

Basically, it's a chain, a chain in which energy is sequentially transformed into different forms.

For a person with strength value, each time a martial skill is released, the total amount of black mist in the body will decrease a little.

The black mist exists in the blood vessels and will be slowly replenished by the blood, but it takes time to replenish.At the same time, the speed of replenishment also has a great relationship with the martial arts practiced. The more advanced and exquisite the practiced martial arts, the faster the replenishment of martial strength will be.

Supplementing the black mist consumes blood, and blood is transformed from food, air and water.

The total amount of black mist in a person's body is its force value.

The so-called promotion of cultivation is to increase the total amount of black mist in the blood vessels.

Food, air, and water are converted into blood in the body, and according to a certain practice method, the blood is converted into force value or mana value, and then according to the method recorded in the martial arts scroll and the magic book, the force value or mana value is converted into specific Martial arts and magic, released.

This is the physical model of martial arts and magic.

Ye Tian raised his head, as if he had grasped an extremely important idea.But soon, that thought disappeared without a trace like a floating cloud in the sky.

Ye Tian scratched at his hair, but could no longer catch that flash of aura.

Nearly November, a heavy snowfall suddenly fell in the capital.

Snowflakes have covered the red tiles and gray walls of the capital in a silvery white. The capital of a country has a very high density of buildings, row upon row, connected end to end. If you stand on a high place and look down, the entire capital will be It is a majestic ice sculpture complex.

The temperature plummeted, and every household pushed flat cars and lined up at the west gate of the capital, waiting for the caravan transporting Hei Jing to bring Hei Jing from outside the city.

A group of carriages full of black crystals slowly drove in from outside the west gate.

The vendor in charge of selling shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, come first, come first, pay the money and unload the goods."

The people in the queue clutched the money in their hands and handed it to the merchant.The vendor counted the silver, briefly calculated the amount of black crystals, then picked up an invoice from the table, filled in a number on the invoice with a brush dipped in black juice, and handed it to the buyer.

The buyer took the manifest, pulled up his flat cart, and found the carriage captain behind him.The captain of the carriage unloaded the black crystal from the carriage according to the quantity on the manifest, and loaded it on the flat cart of the buyer.

The entire purchase and sale process was orderly, but soon, someone voiced dissatisfaction.

"Last year it was still [-] Wen a catty, how come it has increased by [-]% this year?"

"Yeah, things can't just go up if they say they go up."

At this time, not far from the carriage at the corner of the city wall, a middle-aged man with black and white hair was squatting against the wall, smoking a dry cigarette. Hearing the voice of dissatisfaction from the crowd, the middle-aged man raised his eyelids , Glancing at everyone, a gleam of light radiated from his eyes.

The vendor in charge of the sales glanced at the crowd first, pointed at the sky with his finger, and said, "You don't have eyes? How many miles do you know to drive such heavy snow from the West Iron Mine to the capital? Do you know how many bridges to cross? How many rivers to cross?"

Having said that, the vendor pointed to the carriage behind him, and continued, "Look, these brothers are risking their lives. Do you think it's worth [-]% of the price?"

When everyone heard this, they also felt that there was some truth. Let’s not say that the snow on the side of the West Iron Mine was heavier than that in the capital, but that the bridges in the middle of the road and the rivers were frozen under heavy snow. It's not an exaggeration to risk your life.

After a few complaints, everyone stopped talking.

But at this moment, a very thin voice at the end of the line said softly: "Damn it."

The speaker was wearing a gray robe, and a huge hood covered her head, making it impossible to see her face clearly.When the people queuing around heard her "Damn", they just laughed a little and didn't pay any more attention.

However, under the hood, she was struggling fiercely in her heart.

Diane clutched the money in her hand, which was all her savings.Originally, the calculation was appropriate, and the black crystal bought with this amount of money could just last until the beginning of next spring, but unexpectedly the price increased by [-]%.

She has tried her best to save up this little savings, but after the price rises, the few pieces of silver in her hand may not be able to last until the beginning of next spring.

The two children in the family can no longer suffer from the cold.

Diani pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and made a decision in her heart.

Because of wearing a hood, no one can see her face, but anyone who knows her well knows that if she takes off the hood, it will cause a lot of angry eyes from the men around her, and it may also bring difficulties to herself. Trouble.

The people in front of the line pulled the flat cart one by one, and left after buying the black crystal.

Finally it was Dani's turn.

She handed over the pieces of broken silver and said softly, "Three taels, fifty catties."

The merchant glanced at Dai Ni, and swiftly put the broken silver on a well-polished scale on the table, looked at the scale of the weight, and swiftly wrote two words on a bill of lading: Fifty.Then hand the manifest to Dani.

Dai Ni took the cargo list, turned around and pulled up a small flat cart that had been put aside before, and found the carriage team under the city wall of the West Gate.

The captain of the carriage took the manifest from Dai Ni, looked at the numbers on it, and then said to the workers behind him, "Fifty catties, unload."

Although it was snowing, the workers were doing purely physical work. After a long time, they couldn't stand the heat, so they took off their coats one after another, and some were even shirtless.

Pieces of black crystals were placed on a five-foot-square weighing platform, and the scale on it gradually approached upwards.

After the scale reached fifty, the worker waved his hand and said in a rough voice, "Hurry up, hurry up."

Dai Ni looked at the scale, then bent down, stretched out her arms and moved the black crystals one by one to her flat car.At least three or two people from other households came to pull Heijing together, and she was the only one, so the loading speed was naturally much slower.

The next buyer handed over the order, and Diane's Sombra was still partially on the scale.A worker said impatiently: "Why are you alone? Where is everyone in the family? Hurry up."

Dai Ni pointed to the weighing platform, and said softly: "The weighing platform is so big, I leave all the rest here, you can move to the weighing platform first, and when you finish moving, I will naturally finish moving too. "

The worker glared at it, but had nothing to say, so he had to work hard to move the black crystals on the carriage to the weighing platform one by one.

Dai Ni moved the black crystals on the weighing platform to her flat car one by one without making a sound.

After a while, Dai Ni finished moving Hei Jing, reached out and wiped her forehead lightly, pulled up the flat cart, and was ready to leave.

Next to the weighing platform, the worker who was moving the black crystal glanced at the scale on the weighing platform, and was a little confused for a moment, but he didn't see anything. He paused for a while, and then went to move the black crystal again.

Dai Ni pulled the flat cart, raised her feet and walked towards the city.

At this moment, the captain of the carriage shouted: "Stop."

Diane's body trembled slightly, but her feet didn't stop, and her steps sped up a little.

The coach captain's face darkened, he quickly caught up with Diani, stretched out his hand and grabbed the flat car, and said, "I told you to stop, don't you have ears?"
