Chapter 2: Light curtain
Five hours later, night fell.
"Chaoyang New Village" next to the No. 23 Special Waste Treatment Plant.
Although the name sounds nice, Chaoyang New Village is the most dilapidated low-rent housing community in Fuge City.
Because of its proximity to the magic treasure tomb, the environment here is very harsh, and the air is filled with a pungent smell all the year round. Even if the main urban area is blue sky and white clouds, it is still a gray area. It is in 19 low-rent housing communities in Fugo City. Middle is the one with the lowest level, and naturally, the rent is also the lowest.
No matter how low the rent is, not many people like to live next to the garbage dump. Many residential buildings are vacant. In addition, the facades are full of cracks and the corridors are full of cobwebs. It is a ghost town. .
Li Yao is a resident of this "ghost city".
He likes the place to be quiet enough, the magic weapon repairs and renovations at home will not disturb others, it is close to the magic weapon tomb, and the rent is cheap, which is simply multi-tasking.
His home is a suite of more than 50 square meters, two inside and outside, and the outside is eating and drinking. The inside bedroom has been transformed into a magic weapon repair studio.
As soon as I entered the door, the first thing I saw was the hundreds of crystal brains hanging from the ceiling with ropes, like hundreds of tiny skulls.
Most of these crystal brains are old antiques hundreds of years ago. They have lost their computing power and were picked up by Li Yao as collectors. He is a crystal brain fan, and he is very interested in this kind of thinking that can imitate the brain of a cultivator. The magic weapon is very interested.
The small living room is full of physical books that are rare in this era, ranging from "Summary of Magic Weapons Maintenance", "Basic Flying Sword Refining Concise Tutorial", "A Crafter's Self-cultivation" to "Black Mountain Old Demon Crystal Stone Battleship Maintenance Manual and Ninety-Nine Ways to Blast a Planet, many of them are ancient books hundreds of years ago, gray, yellow, yellow, and rotten.
Surrounded by books and Jingnao, there is a half-old and not new straw mat. This is Li Yao's dining table, chair and bed.
And the magic weapon repair studio in the back room is full of the rare and exotic treasures he picked up from the garbage dump, the gleaming flying swords, the dragon-snake talisman, the fragrant pill...
More magic weapons were disassembled by him into the most basic components, piled up in a corner, and turned into a few miniature garbage mountains.
At this moment, Li Yao was holding a silver-white box-shaped magic weapon, his eyes gleaming, like a big bad wolf who had seen a white rabbit, and the corner of his mouth almost didn't drip.
The flying sword with black wings probed his head behind him, like a curious fat snake.
"It turned out to be the latest generation of the "Three-dimensional Light Curtain Instrument" launched by Qianhuanzong. The market price is more than 20,000! If it can be repaired, it will sell for 8,000. Xiaohei, this time we are developed!" Li Yaoren Can't help whistling.
The black flying sword "creaked" and the two wings flew up and down, dancing and dancing, revealing the same "greedy" taste as the owner.
Li Yao shook his hand, and there were seven or eight odd-shaped repair tools between his fingers. Some looked like screwdrivers, some looked like tweezers, as well as thin and long silver needles and indescribable tools.
"Xiao Hei, guess how many seconds?"
The black flying sword "squeaked" sneered twice, and made a "50" in the void with the tip of the sword.
"Fifty seconds? Look down on me!"
He closed his eyelids, took a deep breath, and calmed down for three seconds. When he opened his eyes again, the greed and excitement in his eyes disappeared, leaving only the cold and overflowing confidence of Gujing Wubo.
Li Yao's hands suddenly activated, and the ten fingers turned into ten streams of light, which completely covered the silver magic weapon. At first, he could still see the trajectory of the fingertip movement. Later, he could only see a group of dazzling white lights. The "rustling rustling" sound.
After half a minute, Bai Mang shook, the sound of "Shusha" disappeared, and hundreds of afterimages returned to the body one by one. Li Yao's hands were still placed in the original position, not even moving a single point.
The silver-white magic weapon "Three-dimensional Light Curtain Instrument" has been disassembled into 425 components.
"Thirty-nine seconds, done!"
Li Yao gave a cheer, squeezed his eyes triumphantly at the black flying sword, and studied attentively.
"Tsk tsk, it is indeed the latest model of light curtain made by the'Thousand Phantom Sect'. The structure is exquisite, and the balance of spiritual power is as natural as it is. The most powerful is this master chip. The master chip the size of a fingernail is actually engraved on it. With more than three hundred magical charms, they lead each other to form more than 20 symbolic arrays, which is nothing short of a work of art!"
Li Yao held a magnifying glass and carefully observed the disassembled main chip. His face was full of pilgrimage-like fascination. Looking at it, his expression became more and more solemn.
"No...It's not just three hundred magic charms. This main chip seems to use crystal folding technology. It is a superposition of three chips. A total of thousands of magic charms are stored, forming hundreds of three-dimensional charm arrays. It is incredible. !"
The more he studied, the more profound he felt. Li Yao was completely addicted to it, forgetting the passage of time. After studying for more than three hours, he couldn't analyze even a complete rune formation, but he looked dizzy and dazzled. Blackened for a while.
He currently has at most the level of a "junior magic weapon repairman", and he is far from the level of the "Thousand Phantom Sect" refiner master, too far.
If there is a problem with this "main chip", then he has no choice but to sell the stereoscopic light curtain as a scrap.
Fortunately, after inputting a piece of spiritual power with the "spiritual storage device", Li Yao found that the spiritual power of the main chip was running smoothly, the spiritual path was clear, the rune array was stable, and there was nothing unusual.
After careful inspection, it was found that the problem was a low-level transistor, which was burned out due to abnormal fluctuations in spiritual power.
This kind of crystal tube is a standard part and it is easy to replace. Li Yao quickly found a replacement from the inventory at home.
Closing my eyes, silently recalling the disassembly process just now, an exhaustive structural drawing appeared in my mind, my hands were naturally activated, a gust of wind swept the clouds, and the three-dimensional light curtain was reassembled!
Use the spirit storage device to input a psychic energy, and the white shell glows with a faint blue glow, like a whole piece of crystal clear jade, but also like a spirit with life.
When Lan Mang swept his forehead, dozens of control runes naturally appeared in the depths of Li Yao's mind.
"Light curtain instrument, turn on!" Li Yao muttered silently in his heart, and a control rune flashed in his mind immediately.
The blue lights on the light curtain gathered into a "return"-shaped rune, resembling a vortex, spinning two times quickly, shooting a blue beam from the center of the vortex, condensing into a huge light curtain in mid-air, The light curtain flickered, revealing the image of a middle-aged cultivator wearing a gossiping robe, vivid and lifelike.
Behind this cultivator is a larger light curtain, on which red and green runes, numbers, and arrows are intertwined, constantly beating and changing.
The middle-aged cultivator has no expression on his face, and Gu Jing said without waves: "Next, I will continue to broadcast financial news for you. The following is a summary of the stock market. The biggest news today is undoubtedly the announcement of the latest generation of Flying Sword Driven by the Shadowless Sword Sect. "Purple Light" came out. It is said that after applying "Purple Light", the maximum speed of the flying sword can be increased by 9%, the instantaneous destructive power can be increased by 11%, and the spiritual power consumed can be reduced by 5%. , The overall performance improvement of Feijian is very obvious."
"Affected by this positive effect, the stock price of Shadowless Sword Group went up all the way, approaching the daily limit before ten o'clock and maintained it all the way to the close."
"The entire sword repair sector, including the Great Sword Sect, the Northern Sword Sect, and the Nanhai Sword Sect, have seen their share prices rise all the way. As of the close, the sword repair sector has risen by 5.42 percentage points."
"On the other hand, the stock prices of defensive sects such as'Jin Jiazong' have fallen all the way. Analysts generally believe that as new talisman formations such as'Zidian' come out one after another, flying sword technology will have a revolutionary leap. Battle Armor simply cannot defend against the latest flying sword attacks. As of the close, Jin Jiazong's stock price has fallen by more than 8%."
"Jin Jiazong held a temporary press conference after the market closed. Jin Jiazong’s spokesperson, Elder Heiyan, announced that breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of the latest generation of Starstrike Shield. Sword attack."
"In the grasslands of the northern part of the Federation, the black nematode epidemic continues to spread and has spread to many spirit beast breeding bases of the beast control sect. More than 500,000 spirit beasts have been affected. The rare disaster situation has caused the stock price of the Yu beast sector to continue to low. After running, the share prices of multiple sects that control the beast fell below the three-year minimum."
"Okay, let's invite the famous stock critic Tian Xingzi to comment on individual stocks for everyone."
"..."
Li Yao watched for a long time, and found that the picture was stable, the sound was clear, and there were no snowflakes and markings. Especially the three-dimensional sense was very strong, which made people feel immersive. It should be fixed.
After thinking about it, I meditated again in my mind: "Switch to the entertainment channel."
With a flash of blue light, the middle-aged cultivator and the red and green light curtain disappeared instantly, and replaced by a full-blown stadium.
The big stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is full of seats. The voices are noisy and the sky is full of reflections. Under the shining colorful rays of light, 100,000 passionate boys and girls raised their hands and shouted together a name:
"Lu Yinxi!"
"Lu Yinxi!"
"Lu Yinxi!"
On the three-story main stage, there are dozens of sharp crystals with interlaced canine teeth. When the cheers of boys and girls converge to the extreme, one of the strongest crystals suddenly burst. A face was cold and snowy, but his eyes were hot. The magma-like girl in white jumped out of the crystals, and a guqin made of crystals was slung across her waist. The slender hands swept across the strings, but what was blasted out was the magic sound of a golden iron horse!
"If you have a dream in your heart, you must fly arrogantly. The other side of the galaxy is our direction! This belongs to us, Xiu! True! New! World! Ji!"
Like all boys and girls, Li Yao's blood began to boil.
The passionate girl "Lu Yinxi" on the stage is a female idol singer who has just risen in the past two years. She has attracted a large number of teenagers with her cold appearance and explosive singing style when she debuted. The famous song "40,000 Years of Cultivation" is in In just six months, it has swept the entire Federation, and countless young people have embarked on the road of cultivation under the encouragement of this song.
Li Yao is also a fan of her, but the reason is different from others. He likes Lu Yinxi because everyone has the same background.
All are orphans.
Li Yao was born in the No. 23 Special Waste Treatment Plant. Since memory, the sky has always been gray and yellow.
He eats the rotten flesh in the garbage dump and drinks the polluted stinky water. It relies on beast-like instincts and a little "secret" in the deep memory to survive. From the very beginning, he was bullied and became a magic tomb more than ten years later. The most dangerous "vulture" in the world.
If it weren't for the appearance of "Daddy", Li Yao might have been huddling in the garbage dump, becoming another "fat dragon" or "wild wolf".
But one day six years ago, a garbage boat dropped the old man in dozens of tons of **** together, and Li Yao moved his compassion again and dragged the scarred old man back home.
Since then, his fate has completely changed.
Dad never talked about his origins. Li Yao only knew that he must be a very powerful magic weapon modification master. In just five years, Dad taught Li Yao thousands of weird magic modification techniques and also taught him His knowledge of various basic subjects also paid for him to attend a private high school in the city, which enabled him to integrate into a normal society.
A year ago, the old man passed away from an old injury. What Li Yao left was a mysterious flying sword named "Black Wing". It is said that he had studied the weird guy who hadn't developed a way for most of his life. words:
"Xiao Yao, dad, I have been to dozens of great worlds in my life, and I have seen tens of thousands of masters of magic weapon modification and refinement masters, and your talent is the highest!"
"With the hands of a mere mortal, you can repair low-level magic weapons. You are really powerful."
"But talent alone is not enough! Talent alone can only repair low-level magic weapons, civilian magic weapons!"
"Promise the old man, study hard, strive to enter the university, and become a cultivator! Only by becoming a cultivator, you will be able to go further in the magic weapon repair, and even one day..."
"Become a true master of craftsmanship!"
When the old man said this, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were shining brightly, and Li Yao still remembered the scene of infinite momentum.
Master craftsman... That is one of the most respected professions in the circle of cultivators.
He didn't know whether he would disappoint his father.
The Black Wing Sword was silently accompanied by him, listening to the volcanic eruption of the young girl in the light curtain apparatus, and the two wings were constantly twisting with the singing and dancing.
After a long time, the boy's eyes brightened, and a nonchalant smile reappeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Why do you want to do so much? No matter the three seven twenty one, just fight it!"
"Lu Yinxi can go from a little orphan to the most popular female singer in the Federation. Why can't I turn from a little trash bug to a real master craftsman?"
The boy remembered a sentence he had heard in a long, long time ago, far, far away:
"Dreams are always necessary, what if they come true?"
