Global time travel

Chapter 251 Light City

Liu Zhi didn't worry too much about this issue, now the road to the city is smooth, and he can go in to find answers to many questions.

Under Wu Lu's pleading eyes, Liu Zhi finally helped it put away the bones. Wu Lu said that these bones were all from G-level monsters, and they were strengthened with magic. The hardness is only slightly worse than F-level.

Liu Zhi knew at a glance that the so-called G-level monsters were probably level-[-] monsters, because their hardness was far stronger than level-[-] monsters, but much worse than level-[-] monsters.The matter was quickly confirmed, Liu Zhi showed Wu Lu a look at the bone gun, and Wu Lu immediately confirmed that it was made of the hand bones of F-class monsters.

After packing up his things, Liu Zhi put Xiao Fuyao on his back, with Wulu in his pocket, and headed northeast together with Shu Yue.

Perhaps because of the proximity to the City of Light, the 30-plus-kilometer journey only encountered a few third-level mobs, which Shu Yue easily dealt with.

Half a day later, the two walked out of the dense forest, and what they saw was a huge city, which looked like a fully enclosed gymnasium. The outer wall was more than [-] meters high, and the color was purple gray. There was a wall extending upwards inside the outer wall. The entire city is enveloped like a half eggshell.

Regardless of the city wall or the dome, there are all kinds of fortifications, some are like bunkers, some are like gun towers, hundreds of thousands, densely packed.There is a building in the center of the dome, surrounded by protrusions, like a rudder with many handles and placed horizontally.

Liu Zhi felt that this building was likely to be the wartime headquarters of Guangguang City. It was located at the commanding heights, with a wide field of vision, and a panoramic view of the situation of the enemy and ourselves. Can carry out all-round coverage strike.

It is these large and small fortifications, as well as the dilapidated color of purple gray, that make Guangguang City not look like a city at all, but like a sleeping abyss behemoth!
At the gate of the city, nearly a hundred soldiers are guarding here. They wear armor similar to Iron Man, helmets like Spartan warriors, a round shield hanging on their left arm, and an electric baton hanging from their right waist. Wulu said that it was a stretchable weapon made of a material similar to memory alloy. The city guards were all long knives, and a small part of the most elite guards in the army were still Equipped with such shooting weapons.

On the way here, Wu Lu told Liu Zhi that there are guns and cannons in Guangming City, which are extremely powerful, but because of the problem of kinetic energy, the speed of the cannonballs is really mediocre, and they will only be used in large-scale battles, such as when the Chiren collectively came. attack.

I don't know whether it is due to the lack of materials or technical limitations. All firearms cannot be mass-produced. They can only be equipped with a small number of elites. And these elites carry a cold weapon as a backup, and some people even directly use cold weapons as their main battle weapons.

In addition to the city guards, there were more than a dozen people in proper military uniforms standing on the city wall, each with a red crystal block hanging on their chests, which was similar in style to the one in Wulu's arms, except that the color was slightly lighter.

Everyone entering and leaving the city gate must undergo identity verification, and the weapons they carry must also be displayed.For this reason, Liu Zhi deliberately let go of all the vitality in the black bow, and put away the purple jade that blocked the vitality. After all, the black bow is a cultivator's equipment from an extraterritorial civilization, so it's better to keep it low-key.

After seeing the identity certificates of the two, the city gate guard glanced at the bone spear and the black bow, and immediately stopped on the little Fuyao in the backpack, and warned in a solemn voice: "The monsters in the city are not allowed to fly, if you don't want to be shot down, Better keep an eye on it."

He speaks the language of the Nu tribe. Although the identity Liu Zhi borrowed is of mixed race, there is a distinction between primary and secondary. The primary tribe is the Nu tribe.

"I know, I must take care of it." Liu Zhi nodded in response.

The guard didn't say anything, and let the two of them enter the city.

The inside of the city is completely different from the outside of the city. There are lights everywhere, which look extremely bright.

Walking into the urban area, the two seem to be in an ancient city with a strong modern atmosphere. The streets are wide and the flow of people is endless. There are all kinds of tall buildings everywhere, the highest can even reach tens of meters, and the top is connected to the dome , Divided into more than ten floors, standing proudly in the city like a pagoda.

The city is divided into five districts, the southeast, the northwest, and the middle. Among them, the northern district is an industrial park, where research work related to science and technology is concentrated.The west side is the farm, where most of the food in Guangming City is produced.The southeast two districts are residential areas, only the central district is where the administrative center is located, with one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

Liu Zhi and Shu Yue were wandering around the South City at this time, and it was Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, and was overwhelmed with all kinds of new things, not to mention Shu Yue, even Liu Zhi, who had stayed in the city of the Rock Clan, was amazed No end, the prosperity and novelty of Guangming City can be seen from this.

Every street in the city is paved with extremely flat blue rocks. Wulu said that they have been strengthened with magic, which is enough to last for a hundred years. There is a tall lighthouse erected every ten meters, with soft light. The sidewalk under the lighthouse is clearly separated from the roadway. The sidewalk is bustling with people. There are people in robes and different clothes, and there are people in ordinary clothes.

On the roadway, from time to time, a monster can be seen passing by with men and women on its back.It seems to be the same as the sports car on the earth, the higher the level of the monster under the crotch, the stronger the strength, the more it can reflect the extraordinary identity of the owner, but Liu Zhi looked for a long time, and did not see even a fourth-level monster, They are all small third-level monsters, and most of them are juvenile beetle monsters, while other types are very rare.

Thinking about it, most of the monsters in the Crying Abyss are about four or five meters high. Although the streets in the city are wide, it is difficult to accommodate these oversized monsters. The juvenile beetles are different, only about half a meter high. One meter wide and two meters long, plus the characteristics of a flat back, excellent load bearing, and fast speed, it is normal to become the first choice for transportation.

In addition, there are some people driving some strange vehicles passing by, the speed is similar to the small cars on the earth, but they don't know what the source of power is.What's more, gliding in the sky about three meters above the ground, there is no row of red crystal blocks hanging on the chest, although the speed is not fast, it is undoubtedly more graceful.

As the crowd entered the center of the south of the city, entering shops, visiting shops, and exploring markets along the way, Liu Zhi seemed to be wandering leisurely, but in fact he was focused, paying careful attention to the content of people's conversations and the sale of goods.

After most of the day, he was quite rewarded.

It turns out that the currency in this city of light is not banknotes, but a kind of talisman called "Storing Yuan Talisman". This talisman is divided into four types: low-level, middle-level, high-level, and top-level. The value of the latter is ten times that of the former. , containing the aura of heaven and earth, it can be used for cultivation, talisman making, trading and other ways.

In people's conversations and discussions, most of them also revolve around the technique of runes, such as the production tips of talismans and the collection channels of talisman materials. The method is monopolized by the government, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to know about it, and private refining is not allowed, otherwise there will be severe punishment.

This is naturally the means for the upper class of Guangming City to control the cultivation resources.

As night fell, Liu Zhi and his wife came to a building with a single door and courtyard. This building has three floors and is located in the center of the south of the city. From the outside, it looks like it has been around for a long time. It is the place where Wu Lu usually lives, but the ownership does not belong to it. , is an asset under the name of its owner.

Liu Zhi is very interested in Wulu's master, the existence of Niucha who can create intelligent creatures, but according to Wulu, its owner has been missing for nearly a year, and both the Academy of Science and Technology and the Public Security Bureau have investigated The answer given to this matter is that after Master Wulu left the City of Light, he went straight to the east, where the hinterland of the Crying Abyss is located. No matter the strength, quantity, or wisdom of the monsters, they are by no means comparable to the suburbs of the Gloomy Forest.

Entering the courtyard, Liu Zhi and his wife had just reached the gate, when the door suddenly sounded from the nearby courtyard, and a middle-aged man in his 40s came out of the house. He was born quite similar to a human, but his skin and eyes were all Blue, with big and long earlobes, like a Buddha, short and stocky, maybe not as tall as Shuyue by visual inspection, about 1.6 meters.

As soon as he went out, he saw Liu Zhi and the two, and asked in surprise, "You two, are you here to find old man Duoyuan?"

The man spoke the Guni language. The Guni people are short in stature, and the average height of men is generally about 1.5 meters. Like him, he can be called tall and mighty.

Hearing the sound, Wu Lu poked his head out of Liu Zhi's pocket, waved his little hand, and shouted, "Uncle Tielang, it's me. They didn't come to find the master, but friends I met outside the city."

Uncle Tielang took a closer look, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, it's Wulu, you came back so fast this time." Speaking of this, he took a look at Liu Zhi and the two, and changed the subject: "Yo, Wulu Lu, you two friends look a lot better than those before. If you sell it for a good price later, remember to buy uncle a drink."

He seemed to be very aware of Wulu's robbery.

Wulu was taken aback, and quickly shouted: "Uncle Tielang, what are you talking about, they are really my friends, not prisoners."

Liu Zhi raised his brows, slightly surprised. Since entering the city, Wu Lu has been staying in his pocket, never showing his head, and rarely speaks. He thought Wu Lu was afraid of revealing his identity. After all, Liu Zhi understood Judging from the current situation, the current level of technology in Guangming City is far from enough to create intelligent life. If Wulu is exposed, he is likely to be arrested by relevant departments for dissection and research.

But now it seems that this is not the case. As a neighbor, Uncle Tie Lang not only knows about Wulu, but also knows about the robbery of Wulu.

This made Liu Zhi a little confused. Could it be that the high-level officials of Guangming City are so enlightened?

"Really a friend?" Uncle Tielang didn't seem to believe it.

"Really, uncle, when have I ever lied to you before?"

"Haha, well, I'll go to work first, Wulu, see you later."

Seeing Uncle Tielang striding away, Liu Zhi opened the door and walked into the house. As soon as he arrived in the living room, his attention was attracted by a half-length portrait on the wall.The painting shows a young man in his early twenties, with a slender figure, handsome features and penetrating eyes. He wears a silver-white robe, holds his hands under his belly, and holds a gem scepter. He has an outstanding demeanor and is uninhibited. He looks like The male protagonist in the comic is average.

What's more, his eyes are vivid, Liu Zhi stands in front of the painting, as if he is being watched by a real person, it feels very strange.

"Wulu, this... is your master's portrait?" Liu Zhi asked.

"Well, the master said it was painted several decades ago. At that time, he was very popular with girls." Wulu looked smug, as if he was in the painting.

"Boss, this person...where do I really want to see him?" Shu Yue suddenly whispered, her eyes fixed on the portrait, her brows slightly frowned, as if she was trying to remember something.

"Have you seen it? In the city or?" Liu Zhi turned his head in surprise, and Wu Lu also cast his gaze over.

"It's not in the city, I can't remember it... Anyway, it looks very familiar." Shu Yue said.

"Uh... Maybe it's on Earth." Liu Zhi thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Don't there often be such handsome guys in comic books?"

Shu Yue was noncommittal, frowned and recalled for a while, but she still didn't have a clue, so she didn't bother, and sighed softly: "I can't remember, but it shouldn't be on Earth. I never read comic books."

Liu Zhi smiled and said, "When others are looking at it, it's fine if you see it."

Shu Yue: "..."

After dinner, the three of them rested separately. Liu Zhi didn't choose to practice, after all, his efficiency was too slow. Instead, he buried himself in seven or eight books and read hard.

He bought these books at the bazaar, most of which are classics on history and runes, and there are also some miscellaneous books that outline geography, monsters, elixir, etc., and he didn't read them all until late at night, but every day Ben has dabbled in a general way, and then he carefully read the book called "Compendium of Runes".

"Compendium of Runes" not only introduces various kinds of talismans, but also records the most basic methods of manipulating and refining talismans. Liu Zhi taught himself by books, and after destroying the two low-level storages he took from Wulu, After the Yuan Talisman, he finally found the right way to release the spiritual energy in the Yuan Talisman little by little, and use the "Thousand Spirit Tempering Body Sutra" to absorb it into his body.

After spending two hours, Liu Zhi finally absorbed all the aura in a low-level Yuan storage talisman, and he was quite happy: "Although the aura contained in this low-level Yuan storage talisman is slightly impure, the amount is not large. It is less, and the refining process is extremely smooth, and the overall efficiency is three points faster than the outside world."

"I just don't know, what is the effect of this middle-level storage symbol?"

Liu Zhi lightly stroked the only middle-level Yuan storage talisman in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

"Forget it, the future will be long, and there is no rush."

Liu Zhi finally restrained his inner impulse and continued to read "Compendium of Runes" without taking a break.

"It can adjust the strength of spiritual pressure between itself and the outside world, attract the surrounding spiritual energy to gather, and allow the user to absorb spiritual energy slightly faster. This gathering spirit talisman really lives up to its name."

"Once used, the Ten Thousand Miles Magic Amulet allows the user to travel thousands of miles a day without depleting their energy."

"Golden Armor Talisman, after use, it can improve the body's protection ability."

"Healing talisman, speed up the recovery of injuries."

"Flame Wrath Talisman, Ice Shock Talisman, Thunder Falling Talisman, Wind Knife Talisman... Isn't this just putting spells in the Talisman? It's like letting the mysterious body practitioners master the means of the Condensation Stage in advance?"

"I don't know if there are other talismans that add buffs besides the golden armor talisman?"

Liu Zhi looked excited, closed the book, turned his head to look out the window, and at some point, the sky was already bright.
