Creating a Sandbox World

What the hell are you?

...

Under the eaves of the old house, Lin Tuo asked seriously.

Everything that happened just now was too mysterious. If it was told, no one would believe it. At this moment, he was both excited and apprehensive.

And following his inquiry, the evolution sand table in his mind actually gave an answer:

[The host trigger keyword is detected, and the novice guide is turned on]

[Derivation sand table: a tool with mysterious origin]

[Main function: assist the host to collect ether energy, and realize the promotion of life level]

Lin Tuo, who was squatting under the eaves, was stunned, so he really picked up a system, right?

Is this system a tool for harvesting so-called ether energy?

What is ether? Lin Tuo tried to ask.

He still remembered that in the observation mode, Yangcheng in the sandbox had a low ether concentration.

[Ether: the stream of consciousness that makes up the space, the first most basic element created when the spiritual world creates the material phenomenal world. A mysterious gas that exists widely in the universe, where all intelligent life activities are active, and has the power to elevate the life level...]

While explaining, Lin Tuo felt a large amount of relevant information pouring into his mind. He couldn't help pressing his forehead, closing his eyes and sorting out for a while, before he finally figured it out.

Simply put, the so-called ether is similar to the aura in entertainment works, and is a substance that accompanies life.

According to the information given by the evolution sand table.

In the universe, any planet, as long as there is intelligent life, there will be ether.

The amount and concentration of ether are closely related to the overall quality of intelligent life on the planet.

In other words.

Ether widely exists in various human gathering places on the earth, whether it is a city or a village.

If all people have the same level of physical health and mental state, then the larger the population, the greater the amount of ether.

If the number is constant, then the stronger the body and the better the mental outlook, the more ether will be produced.

Therefore, on the earth, the concentration of ether above the cities is much higher than that of the countryside, and the economically and culturally developed areas are much higher than the poor land.

And the amount of ether also changes dynamically with the state of intelligent life.

In short, the world is peaceful, the country is prosperous, and the concentration of ether will increase.

In case of war, famine, sickness... etc., the concentration of ether will decrease.

The ether is normally invisible, but it can be observed and absorbed by special means, and then realize the evolution of life.

And this evolution sand table is a tool to assist in the collection of ether.

...

...

Opening his eyes again, Lin Tuo let out a breath slowly, probably understanding the meaning of the existence of this system, and immediately became very interested in the so-called ether.

According to what you said, how should I collect ether?

【Please follow the instructions】

【1. Click on the virtual panel to return to the main page】

The information appeared in his mind, Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment, and refocused his attention on the virtual panel on his retina. At this moment, it was still in the observation mode, but because it left the range of the sand table, the field of vision was empty.

After careful observation, he discovered that there was a very small and faint return icon in the upper left corner of the virtual panel...he hadn't noticed it before.

So, this observation mode is just a subpage?

Try clicking with your mind.

The virtual panel changed immediately, exited the observation mode, and returned to the main page.

From a designer's point of view... the main page is still very... crude...

On the left are two lines of text arranged up and down, which are:

observation mode

creative mode

a little farther to the right,

There was a Mall button hanging alone.

Other than that, there is nothing left.

【2. Please open the Mall】

...Why does a tool have a mall?

Lin Tuo complained in his heart, and also clicked on it with his mind.

Immediately, the Mall page pops up.

Equally empty.

There are only two products in the mall:

[Eat Qi Method: Free]

[Observation range: 1000 points/10,000 square kilometers]

Lin Tuo first set his sights on the latter, and then an explanation window popped up next to it. He briefly browsed it, which probably meant that you can spend ether to buy observation ranges in the mall.

That is: the area of ​​the city displayed on the sand table in the observation mode.

For example, now he can only observe Yangcheng and its surrounding areas, a total of about 15,000 square kilometers of land. If he wants to expand the scope of observation, he can spend ether points to buy it.

Every expansion of 10,000 square kilometers requires 1,000 ether points.

How much ether do I have now? Lin Tuo asked subconsciously.

[Host's current ether points: 0]

Lin Tuo: ...All right.

He decisively looked away, and looked at the free breathing Qi method. Not surprisingly, this should be the method of collecting ether.

Buy!

Click with his mind, and in the next second, Lin Tuo saw a Purchase Successful button, and then a large piece of information was poured into his mind.

[3. Please enter the observation mode and use the method of breathing to collect]

Lin Tuo got up immediately, returned to the old house, came to the sand table, and re-entered the observation mode.

In the sand table, Yangcheng City is still operating normally, cars pass in an orderly manner on the highway, and in some places like shopping malls and movie theaters, densely packed citizens are going about their daily lives.

There are still dark clouds over the city, and the hole in the cloud that was torn between Lin Tuo has been restored.

A prosperous scene.

Huh? However, this time, Lin Tuo saw something new above the city and above the clouds.

I saw wisps of illusory, bluish-white gas floating in the sky, like a turbulent flow, undulating, very different from the clouds, more in the central area of ​​the city, and thinner the further you go.

When it reaches the edge of the sand table, that is, the sky above the suburbs of the city and the fields in the countryside, it is even thinner and almost invisible.

Is this the ether?

If Lin Tuo realized something, his heart moved, and he approached almost instinctively, then adjusted his breathing rhythm and performed the breathing qi method.

Immediately, as if attracted, the bluish-white gas slowly gathered towards Lin Tuo from above the sand table, and was sucked into his body by his mouth and nose.

This scene was extremely weird. In the blink of an eye, Lin Tuo sucked up all the ether produced by the nearly six million permanent residents of Dayang City!

But the residents of the city didn't realize it.

Didn't suffer any harm either.

According to the Yanhua sand table, ether is a kind of energy, if it is not collected, it will be wasted, and if it is plundered, it will not have any impact on intelligent life.

And, it only takes a while for the intelligent life to regenerate the ether.

However, at this moment, Lin Tuo didn't have the heart to think about it. When the bluish-white gas entered his body, he felt that all the cells in his body were awakened.

Just like a long drought meets a cold rain.

A kind of indescribable comfort made him unable to extricate himself, that is detachment! It's evolution! It is the transformation of life level!

Lin Tuo's whole body suddenly became hot, and the blood in his meridians was like a rolling river. He felt as if he had infinite power and wanted to vent it.

Whoosh!

Lin Tuo turned around, jumped out of the old house, and came to the spacious courtyard in the middle of the house, which is the martial arts arena of the martial arts hall.

Standing still in the center of the martial arts arena, Lin Tuo's mind moved, and he suddenly made a starting gesture, and then, the whole person's momentum changed!

His eyes were shining like stars, his body moved freely, his back was like a bow, and he punched out, so fast that it caused a roar in the courtyard!

Wow...

As the wind blows, the deserted grass in the courtyard sways, and the leaves of several hundred-year-old trees on the courtyard wall rustle.

This is not the breathing qi method, but an ancient family martial art practiced by Lin Tuo since he was a child.

A powerful boxing technique passed down by Lin Tuo's grandfather:

Martial Ancestor Transformation Fist!

Using human muscles, bones, and limbs to simulate various weapons, it is unpretentious, simple and pure, and advocates killing.

When you reach the state of transformation, you can dismantle soldiers with your bare hands, destroying the dead, which is extremely terrifying.

This ancient martial art is not well-known, and few people know about it. Lin Tuo can't tell the origin, but he only knows that it was passed down from generation to generation by his grandfather's family.

For more than 20 years, I have been familiar with all kinds of moves.

However, as of today, Lin Tuo has never felt that this ancient martial art is so handy and natural.

Combining the breathing rhythm of the Qi-eating method and mobilizing the blue-white cyclone in his body, Lin Tuo's figure was as fast as lightning, and he began to practice the whole boxing method from beginning to end.

Fist, finger, elbow, waist, knee, shin, foot...

Every joint, every limb, is as if forged from pure gold, easily cracked, and powerfully sinks.

In particular, as the whole set of Martial Ancestor Huabing Fist practiced to the second half, Lin Tuo seemed to be immersed in a strange state. He only felt that all he had learned and practiced in the past twenty years had been fully integrated at this moment.

There are more layers of enlightenment in his heart, constantly emerging, and gradually, his movements got rid of the boxing score, and there is no trace to be found. From the pores, wisps of green and white breath gushed out, covering the whole body, floating like a god.

drink!

When the whole set of punches came to an end, Lin Tuo let out a low shout, swung his right hand sideways, turned his wrist, and made a holding gesture.

In the next second, the wisps of green and white aura condensed into an illusory short spear!

go!

Lin Tuo raised his arm slightly, and threw the short spear made of bluish-white breath towards the sky!

Whoosh!

The short spear suddenly dropped from his hand, flew a hundred meters, disintegrated and exploded in mid-air, and made a huge roar, like thunder:

boom!!

...

away from the foot of the mountain.

Some residents near the foot of the mountain suddenly raised their heads at this moment, looked at the cloudy sky in wonder, and murmured:

Where is the thunder? It doesn't look like it's going to rain...

Who knows...the weather forecast is not accurate...

Although the sound was loud, after all the plants and trees in Lishan Mountain dispelled it, it still didn't attract too many people's attention, let alone the real source of this roar.

...

In the martial arts arena.

Lin Tuo stood quietly in the courtyard, sweating profusely all over his body.

The whole person has broken away from the state just now, staring blankly at his hands:

Is this... the Huabing Fist that I am familiar with?
