I became an NPC in Wuxia Paradise

Chapter 473 The Good and the Bad

The sun is shining and the sky is clear.

It was cooler than the continuous rainy days before,
Today, under the scorching sun, it looks extraordinarily hot,
Let no matter whether it is a plant or an animal, there is no energy, and it is listless on its own territory.

I want to go to the river to find some coolness,

But the thought of passing through a pile of gravel beaches scorched by the hot sun before reaching the river,

Many animals gave up on this idea. It was too painful to step on it at noon, so let's wait until it cools down at night.

It also has horny hooves that can't feel the cold or warmth at all, like a colorful deer or a one-horned cow.

Only then can I ignore these things and go whenever I want.

But they would rather go a long way today,

Go to some dangerous places that they don't usually go to drink water and enjoy the cool air, and they don't dare to get close to the place where they go most often.

Because at this time there is an existence that has never been seen before, lying on the riverside where it can be most directly exposed to the sun.

They know very well that strangeness means danger, and no one dares to get close to that guy.

"Hey, it's so slow."

Wang Wei didn't know his appearance, he had already frightened the surrounding animals.

He was lying there, quietly enveloped by the scorching sun.

He was not doing this to sunbathe or to tan his skin to a wheat color.

He is doing something very serious and important to him, charging!
After spending several months in this forest, Wang Wei thought it was pretty good at the beginning,

Thinking that the body of this machine is convenient, there is no need to consider the problems of eating, drinking and sleeping,
Even after he turned off the fatigue-related programs set by the body paradise,

Apart from the fact that he felt that he was missing something all the time without sleeping, and deliberately took a short nap at night occasionally,

At other times, he was on the road all day and night, and he didn't feel any fatigue.

But after a period of time, Wang Wei found that he was not tired,
But due to the constant consumption of energy, various functions of the body will begin to become sluggish!
Only then did Wang Wei realize that his body does not need to eat and drink like a human being.
But it requires actions similar to human diet to obtain energy!

If you are a person, you can also get it through food and drink. Anyway, there are fruits and beasts here, so you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.

But for his mechanical body, no matter how much fruit he eats, it will have no effect on beasts.
Even because of the need for hunting and picking, chewing, and digestion like humans, it will lead to further consumption of energy!
He felt that it was convenient to do anything with this body, but in such a deserted place, it became a kind of drag!
If he loses his energy, he will be no different than dead.
Even if his consciousness remains and has not dissipated,

But he will always be imprisoned in this immobile metal body, unable to hear, see, or feel,

If you think about it like that, you know, it will feel worse than death!
Wang Wei doesn't want this kind of thing to happen, but what can he do?
Just when he was panicking, he remembered that when he was a child, when playing with remote control electric toys, the battery had run out of power.

Batteries were not cheap at that time, and his family would not buy him a lot of them for him to squander.

But he wanted to play again, and after holding the battery in the sun again by accident, he found that it could still be used for a short period of time!

Anyway, there was no other better way, so Wang Wei let himself try it under the sun.

Needless to say, it really has some effect.

It is the remaining percentage of energy that cannot be seen in his eyes,

It is impossible to know how much energy is left now, and it is impossible to estimate how much solar energy he replenishes for a day.

I can only make a simple judgment from the somewhat weak and dull feeling of the body,

Sunbathing is effective, but the charging speed is very slow. Obviously the energy source is not solar energy.

A day in the sun would usually be enough for him to walk for about three hours without stopping.

If that's all it is, it's fine.

The big deal is that if you walk around in the sun, the speed will be slower at most.

But the weather here is not sunny every day, more often it is thundery and rainy.

Wang Wei roughly calculated, based on 30 days in a month,

It rained on 20 of those days and saw the sun on only [-] days, including cloudy days.

In other words, the time he can recharge is at best less than ten days.

In the other 20 days, he can only consume energy unilaterally, and he can't make ends meet!
Once upon a time, Wang Wei thought that as long as he could leave the paradise, he could regain his freedom.
Thinking about it now, he was really too naive.

He didn't even know what energy was driving his own body.

In my memory, except for the time when he cut open his stomach and replaced it with a sphere filled with liquid nitrogen,

Let him shout Xuanbing Zhenqi in his mouth, and he can release the cold air,

He doesn't recall a single instance of fueling his body.

It was precisely because he didn't have such a crucial point that he overlooked it.

As a result, his eyes are smeared now, and he can only barely maintain it by basking in the sun.

Rumble!
While Wang Wei felt the heat from his body suddenly dissipate, there were bursts of thunder from the sky.

When I opened my eyes, the weather that was still scorching hot just now had become overcast and cloudy like night.

Knowing that it was going to rain again and the temperature was going to get cooler again, the animals and plants in the forest were all cheering, but Wang Wei was full of sadness.

Wang Weineng felt that after he discovered this problem,
The degree of weakness in his body is still deepening day by day.

No matter how much you bask in the sun, you can only slow down the time, and there is no way to solve this problem fundamentally.

If there is no good way to recharge, Wang Wei estimates that his energy will be completely exhausted in three months at most!

Boom, boom, boom.

The rain came as it said, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

Wang Wei was worried that the rain would seep in from his damaged skin and cause a short circuit.

Long before the rain fell, he hid under a leafy tree.

Click!

Click!

A series of astonishing lightning bolts kept falling.

It illuminates Wang Wei's dark pupils again and again.

When it rains heavily, the roads can easily become muddy. At this time, traveling will consume more energy than usual.

After knowing that his energy is coming in more and more, Wang Wei will not rush forward at this time, he will choose to rest to conserve energy.

Avoid being disturbed by animals such as porcupines that come out excitedly to run around after it rains, which will consume unnecessary energy.

Wang Wei turned up on the tree, leaned against the thick trunk, and stared at the white light in the sky in a daze.

Looking at it, suddenly a bold idea popped up in his mind.

"...How about I try to be struck by lightning?"
