Chapter 1509: Chapter 1509
1509: Chapter 1505: A New World at Sea 1509: Chapter 1505: A New World at Sea Life has too many annoyances.
If one could abandon everything and switch to another world, would there be a day when one could start anew?
Perhaps it is such realistic thinking that leads to the popularity of time-travel novels.
For instance, time-travelers typically need a mud truck, and it seems there have been many versions developed.
“It seems I don’t need a mud truck to time-travel…
Uh, I didn’t have a mud truck when I traveled, I just lay down and ended up here.”
Once again physically crossing into an otherworldly realm, this time the “Little Fishman” was quite calm.
He, too, had come from the Great Whirlpool, and upon arriving, he used a scroll.
[Li Xiaolan’s Spatial Turbulence Abnormal Ability Rental Scroll (Upper Silver): Summons a temporal-spatial turbulence that sweeps oneself away, distance limit unknown.]
[Li Xiaolan: I just wanted to disappear completely in this terrible world, unfortunately, it couldn’t do it…]
Ability rental scrolls, one could not only rent a downsized version of someone else’s Professional Abilities but also only get a degraded version of Talent Abilities.
However, in reality, their sales were always quite average.
The borrowed abilities, lacking the original owner’s enhancements, were far inferior in performance and generally had a clear limit on usage times.
The weakened versions were generally very ineffective, spending hundreds of points for one or two experiences with an Ability?
But as the number of sellers increased, there were always some exceptions, and some abilities didn’t need to worry about cost-effectiveness; no matter how much was available, they were instantly bought up.
This product, jokingly called “Random Teleportation Scroll” by Miss Li, earned her quite a lot and even cured her depression…
When she ended up sponsoring a battle team of three handsome guys, becoming a princess and funder of the small team, she directly reversed her way to the pinnacle of life.
“….Why am I thinking about these things again?” Lu Ping’an was a bit distracted, it seems this new body still had some issues, always feeling a bit unreal.
Letting the spatial turbulence sweep him away, this “random teleportation” was almost entirely random, except it didn’t throw you into the earth or a volcano, some people got lucky…
the unfortunate ones were directly teleported into an in-use hot spring.
But no matter how random, it couldn’t leave the same world…
Lu Ping’an had observed its mechanism, it was actually similar to “throwing someone into outer space,” and then letting them fall back down in a bizarre Ability.
Where one truly landed wasn’t dictated by the Ability, but by the perpetually “moving” world itself.
“Hey, this world isn’t bad…” He hadn’t used his normal eyes to observe scenery in a long time, he felt a bit impressed and contented.
And indeed, the scenery he referred to was truly remarkable.
Lu Ping’an had originally thought that the other end of the world would be some impoverished mountains and rivers, but instead, he was teleported to a beach as silver as the metal and cabbage-color sea.
The two suns in the sky weren’t too hot, but with just one glance, Lu Ping’an suspected that this world probably lacked a night-time…
Perhaps this was also the root of why the land was desolate while underwater flourished.
Large sea beasts swam slowly, and the varieties of fish were so numerous that Lu Ping’an couldn’t distinguish them; the entire world seemed gentle and beautiful…
Lu Ping’an snapped his fingers, and the big fish trying to swallow him instantly turned to ash.
Indeed, scenery and the like are better observed from a distance, especially various “wild” and “pristine” environments; casually intruding is just adding to the wild animals’ meals.
The “Random Teleportation Scroll” had helped Lu Ping’an avoid several troubles.
The initial teleportation spot was clearly a War Zone, if you really wanted to collect intelligence, materials or anything, it was better to stay away from the focus area.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an was just an ordinary Fishman…
wearing a crude set of leather armor, carrying a poor-quality spear, he looked like a Fishman Soldier meant for the frontline; beside him was a “follower” dressed similarly.
But inside, both of them were considerably dangerous…
[Lu Ping’an’s Nuwa Lake (Upper Gold Rule Building): The Avatar of Ten Thousand Spirits, the Habitat of the Mother Goddess, the Breeding Grounds of Life…]
When the Quasi-God level item was absorbed by the courtyard, the feedback exceeded Lu Ping’an’s expectations.
It did not merely become a production base like a “Doll Craftsman’s Shop”…
Instead, as a “Divine Foundation,” it became an integral part of Lu Ping’an’s core construction.
As part of the Life system, Lu Ping’an already possessed a variety of abilities such as remodeling, evolving, healing, and accelerating life, but the essential “Breeding/Creating life” had not yet been unlocked.
He had actually possessed similar things before; the Life Cauldron had already been upgraded to Lower Gold, and he always carried the Life Encyclopedia…
However, they had not fused within the courtyard but existed independently outside.
This was because the conflict between “animals” and “plants” still persisted from earlier stages.
The earth nurtures plants, and plants sustain animals, animals breed animals…
This cycle is interdependent yet clearly demarcated; originally, Lu couldn’t arbitrarily mix them.
But now, as the courtyard progressed further, it was time for the fusion of these two paths…
Essentially, this was environmental inclusivity, about to integrate animals, plants, predators, and producers into his “world.”
In a way, this was also a transition from individual to community, from single concept/path controller to a higher level of advancement.
Lu Ping’an’s accumulation in this area was sufficient; he could create Magic Plants, Magic Pets, Rule Items, etc., and now he had acquired a precious God’s Keystone, a special rule for “creating flesh (life) based on material demands,” instantly becoming the bridge uniting everything.
[She, can breed all things and spirits…
as long as your money suffices.]
In terms of use, she was somewhat akin to Lu Ping’an’s cauldron; they both required materials and demands…
yet she was more about accepting requests and customizing, conveniently facilitating mass production in some ways.
While many abilities were still sealed or under study, what Lu Ping’an was presently using came from the “doll” components.
[Dream Lake (Upper Gold): When the user/sample sleeps in the lake water, their ‘dream’ can transform into a tangible entity, becoming the designated nightmare creation.]
When Lu Ping’an submerged his body in this lake water and offered a substantial amount of Fishman flesh and blood as materials, he received this feedback.
[Lu Ping’an’s Fishman Suit (limitless doll): It makes you look like a Fishman, smell like a Fishman, cook like…
and even taste like one!]
Although somewhat skin-deep, this device perfectly met Lu Ping’an’s requirements.
And since it was a “dream”…
that is “he”, even if he died, it would merely mean Lu Ping’an woke up from the dream.
This capability, still leveraging the internal mechanism of “doll”, consumed nearly a thousand life-points for a sixty percent synchronization rate, and Lu Ping’an only hoped it was worth more than it cost.
What Lu Ping’an was least accustomed to, however, was losing the “Courtyard”, but some elements persisted…
“…Can you tell me how you became so proficient?” asked Lu Ping’an, unable to understand.
It was their first time transforming into Fishmen, yet his companions swam faster than actual fish.
“Fish form is also part of my Hieroglyphic Boxing, didn’t you study well?”
Big Cat frowned, her initial excitement completely dissipated.
She had just tried swimming alone, only to almost “wake up.”
Even in such a state, she still couldn’t leave Lu Ping’an, as if she fundamentally was a part of him, aka a dream within a dream.
Now, she was just a regular Fishman…
this first-tier had still consumed points to acquire.
It seemed she was judged by the courtyard as a non-Extraordinary Being dead person…
Mortal, this fragile body made her quite uncomfortable.
But being able to date …
to walk freely, also brought her an inexplicable joy.
