My slow journey to infinity

The church station that Wang Shui didn't know yet was also part of the [Wasteland Area].

Although one must remain vigilant when it comes to matters involving faith, this is still a semi-public area, and it is not something like a "cult" or the "Church of Strange Gods", so Wang Shui is not too cautious.

Going a little deeper, this place is as deserted as Wang Shui imagined, because most of the people who enter here are just passing by, and everyone's destination is deeper.

Moreover, the layout of this rather private street is not as crowded as ordinary commercial streets——

There are no small stores next to each other here, and only two or three are open. There are obvious traces of life near these buildings.

Wang Shui walked slowly, and then his attention drifted to the independent three-story building not far away, which was a low-key church.

On the main entrance, a simple gray cloud-like holy seal made Wang Shui suddenly feel relieved.

It turned out to be the [God of Mist].

Wang Shui is quite familiar with this god, because he, like Wang Shui's boss [Dream System], comes from another universe, from the planet shrouded in gray fog.

[The God of Mist] is not only a righteous god with extremely low corrosiveness, but also a pure "mechanical will god". He does not have thinking activities similar to intelligent creatures, nor does he have constantly changing likes and dislikes.

He is self-disciplined and powerful, and will not affect individuals other than believers, nor will he be swayed by the distracting thoughts of believers.

This basic quality of safety and reliability has made him the mainstream belief in the [Grey Mist World].

[The God of Mist] does not have a secular name. Believers are accustomed to using words such as [Mist] and [Grey Mist] to direct their prayers and rituals to Him.

This powerful god also possesses a lot of [divine powers], among which the four core ones have very distinctive characteristics.

they are, respectively--

[Dynamic Stability], [Inexhaustible Power], [Holy Darkness] and [Invisible Dawn].

These four items all represent a large category of divine power. His followers can choose any number of the above ability trees as the main path to carry the blessings of the gods.

As long as their beliefs and behaviors are close enough to the rules and authority of [Grey Mist], those believers can even obtain true "divine" power——

This is the generosity of a powerful god.

In a very short period of time, a large amount of knowledge and secrets had already passed through Wang Shui's mind.

He confirmed that this was a branch of the school of thought under the [Misty Church], then wisely withdrew his gaze and continued on his own path.

In fact, for most extraordinary people, having faith is a good thing.

A faith recognized by the righteous God and recognized by the relevant church can bring powerful complements (part-time job in the faith department).

On a more utilitarian note, targeting one's own shortcomings and acquiring specific faith power is also a very effective way to become stronger.

But aqua regia is different.

Knowledge and experience prevent him from having overly emotional beliefs.

A soul with the characteristics of "arrogance and purity" that has synchronized with the world is not allowed to dedicate himself to the gods in exchange for power (cannot obtain abilities through power infusion).

What's more, Wang Shui's abilities are comprehensive enough.

His extraordinary path was not built purely for fighting, but for now, ordinary scenes can't help him.

The time at night was limited, Wang Shui didn't want to waste time shopping during the day, so he quickened his pace and walked through the small street of [Mist Church].

Walking out of an alley that was so narrow that only one person could pass, Wang Shui's eyes suddenly opened up.

Don't get me wrong, the space outside the alley is not that vast. The streets here are still narrow and the various shops have become extremely crowded, but overall, the view is indeed much wider.

Because the buildings here are basically slanted.

Yes, the densely packed buildings on both sides of the narrow street, no matter how high or short, all show a strange "reclining" shape. They make the entire street look like a huge inverted trapezoidal drainage ditch.

The pedestrian street below is an inverted trapezoid with a narrow bottom, only two or three meters wide.

About five meters above the pedestrian street is a crystal scaffolding covering the entire street. On the transparent roof, a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles are driving at high speed, and the two-way lanes do not stop for a moment.

Except for a small number of public passenger vehicles, the most common thing on the crystal scaffolding is a floating flat plate. This kind of thing Wang Shui is familiar with, it is a "big board".

On the war planet, in areas with relatively complete infrastructure, many stores also like to use this kind of smart flying board to transport goods. Wang Shui has seen a lot of this kind of thing, but it is really cheap and easy to use.

Massive amounts of goods were speeding past a large number of tourists, and there were also quite a few people visiting here. There were so many people that Wang Shui felt like he had returned to the ruined city [Rena].

However, this is not a pure black market - in other words, even Aqua Regia has never seen a "pure" black market. In a black market in the general sense, there are far more legal goods than contraband.

It's just that the way to purchase goods may not be very upright.

As Shui Wang began to move around and observe, he soon became fond of this large commercial street with all the goods.

In addition to the large number of shops, the number of various clubs, bars, restaurants, fun shops and the like also explained to Wang Shui why so many students gather here to have fun.

At this time, the pedestrian street was crowded with people. Wang Shui noticed that the actions of these students seemed to have a strong purpose——

Except for simple shopping, most of them go directly to certain fixed event stores.

Probably participating in club activities?

This answer appeared in Wang Shui's mind inexplicably.

While observing, Wang Shui's expression became natural and confident. He opened the list of numbers written by his sisters and started purchasing.

From the most basic types of natural or synthetic materials to simply processed goods, the goods here are indeed a bit too cheap and abundant.

The shopping process was indeed dazzling, but the final harvest really made Wang Shui quite satisfied, especially the blank open source card produced by an unknown small research institute.

The metal-based composite material provides the card with a certain deformation strength (toughness and reshaping ability). At the same time, its open-source internal framework also brings new ideas to Aqua Regia.

These blank cards come with a small amount of computing power and a lot of space to store data. They can be adapted to various spell modeling and can also carry most alchemy arrays.

And most importantly, this kind of card can record information in real time extremely fast, even faster than directly building a spell model in your mind!

However, in Wang Shui's eyes, the function of this card is not perfect.

Sellers only use it as a medium for rapid spell casting, hoping to use cards to replace common equipment such as "spell rings" and "spell firearms".

However, Wang Shui believes that the market for fast spell-casting media is already very saturated, and the rings and firearms that have eliminated traditional magic staffs in the course of history have also become very complete, and are highly modifiable and playable. It is unlikely that this kind of one-time use will be used. Card replacement.

Wang Shui would rather upgrade the material of the card itself. Although this card is still a consumable, its ease of editing is worth the cost.

In the end, Wang Shui bought 800 of a total of four types of [Engraved Cards] - these cards were not priced high due to their material quality.

Not long after, the extremely efficient Wang Shui had already visited several streets connected end to end. At this time, the flow of people in the pedestrian street was also a lot thinner, and most of the students had already entered their destination.

Wang Shui originally expected to spend the whole night shopping, but he didn't expect that in just three hours, he bought everything on the list, and also bought many unplanned gadgets.

However, it would be a pity to leave here now.

He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of his field of vision, and began to slow down - [Wasteland Area] is a good place, Wang Shui will inevitably come here to purchase from now on, so he wants to get more environmental information.

Now, it’s time to go back and visit the places that you didn’t go to before.

Gun shop? No, this is a shooting club, but the front lobby has been transformed into a gun store.

Of course, Aqua Regia won't just look at the door window.

He opened the door directly and entered, and then quickly and carefully scanned all the firearms and a large number of expansion modules (plug-in cards) in front of the very negative store clerk.

The result was naturally a bit disappointing to him - most of the firearms here are various types of pistols commonly used by extraordinary people, with a complete range of types, but they are generally mass-produced and cheap.

The most expensive gun in the showcase is only priced at 700 yuan, which is the unit price of some mid-range expansion modules.

Wang Shui's eyes moved to the lazy clerk leaning over the counter. The latter was obviously just a working student. He immediately answered the doubt in Wang Shui's eyes:

“Only members of the club can buy some high-end firearms, and if you have money, customization services are also available.

By the way, you cannot register as a member here. Go back to your school and look for it to see if there is a [Cabela Shooting Club]. "

The clerk had no desire to explain, and Wang Shui didn't ask for anything. After taking notes out of habit, he went out directly.

Afterwards, Wang Shui visited more fun shops and clubs without being picky about food.

For example, flying skateboard racing, swordsmanship, cold weapons, spell research, network research, etc.

He also discovered ordinary clubs such as "Literature" and "Mystery", and even went to have a look.

It has to be said that the scene in the wasteland area now displayed in front of Wang Shui is like moving the various club activity rooms in various colleges.

Judging from tonight's experience alone, Wang Shui should indeed let go of some prejudices.

Sure enough, there are always only a few students who share their chaotic lives on the college network, and the general environment is still...

At this time, Wang Shui's thinking was suddenly interrupted by the crowd gathering at the edge of his vision.

He subconsciously took a few steps towards the crowd, and then a faint sense of crisis stemming from instinct made him stop——

No, not enough!

Aqua regia slowly retreated, but an obvious repulsive force gradually became stronger behind him.

Aqua Regia's back seemed to be pressed against the increasingly solid gel wall!

Subconsciously, Aqua Regia analyzed the force field spell behind him. A light blue glow flashed in his eyes. Aqua Regia used a very low-level but very practical spell - [Energy Vision].

Sure enough, a spherical force field had wrapped this section of the street, but most people didn't seem to notice it.

"Everyone, stop your activities immediately, stand still, turn on the identifier of your weapon and lock it, otherwise you will be attacked by the [Comprehensive Discipline Committee] under the [Qianyuan Student Union]."

An imposing and cold voice sounded, and Wang Shui's eyes immediately locked onto the source of the voice.

Above the pedestrian street, there is a crystal trellis for the operation of vehicles.

At this time, above the heads of the gathered crowd, a heavy-duty locomotive was parked on the edge of the scaffolding, and the slender figure who called himself the [Comprehensive Disciplinary Committee] was jumping lightly off the five-meter-high scaffolding.

Wang Shui didn't recognize the other party's uniform, but he knew about the [Qianyuan Student Union].

This is an upper-level organization built by elite students selected from within the student unions of thousands of colleges and universities throughout the college area.

The political status of the [Qianyuan Student Union] in the entire college district is second only to the [Qianyuan Board of Directors] and the [City Construction Group].

The student union is a very special existence. It is composed only of students, so it always gives outsiders the feeling of making a fuss.

But in fact, the [Qianyuan Student Union] is extremely well-funded, extremely armed, and has many direct law enforcement privileges. Therefore, the student union represents absolute power in the entire college area.

As for the [Comprehensive Discipline Committee] under the Student Union, in Wang Shui's memory, they seemed to be the direct violent organization of the Qianyuan Student Union.

So after the [Comprehensive Disciplinary Committee] student spoke, everyone present stood very obediently and hung up their weapons with identifiers.

There is no so-called "identifier" on Wang Shuiwen's head, because this thing is directly issued by the student union of the school when the weapon is registered in the school.

Wang Shui had not registered any weapons, so he put his hands into his jacket pockets, and then put all the equipment on his body into his personal space.

This is the calmness of space spell casters.

Wang Shui did not attract anyone's attention, nor was he anxious because of his involvement in Wuwu's disaster. He just followed the shrinking spherical force field and slowly walked towards the center of the incident surrounded by people.

When Shui Wang got close enough, a new vehicle arrived just above the crowd.

It was an armored vehicle transformed from a minivan, with an integrated gray-black exterior paint. Although it had no obvious features, Wang Shui only recognized the armor on the outer layer of the vehicle - it was a high-end military protective insert. The board is specially designed for vehicles, and the price is quite scary.

Various information appeared and receded in Wang Shui's mind. At this time, Wang Shui also came to the edge of the crowd and saw the scene inside.

It was a person lying on the ground. It seemed that he should be a human male or a student.

Moreover, no one needed to confirm. Just looking at the blood stains on the back of his shirt and the small blood hole on the back of his head, everyone was already sure that this unlucky guy was 90% dead.

The onlookers were almost all students, and they did not lose their composure, but Wang Shui could clearly sense the faint fear lingering in the environment.

In a relatively peaceful world, seeing this kind of scene, you can still remain quite calm. The quality of the students here is really good.

Just when Wang Shui was slightly distracted, five people who jumped out of the [Comprehensive Discipline Association] armored vehicle also joined the scene.

Four of them have already begun to divide their work clearly, using various tools to carry out inspections and sampling.

"Hello, patrol department C1811 report, the incident discovery record has been integrated and uploaded, the case has been established, please confirm the handover."

The person who spoke was the lanky boy who blocked the scene at the beginning. He had already moved towards the fifth person who was not involved in the on-site inspection.

It was a female student. She was wearing a long black trench coat that resembled a hunting suit. The pure black and dark blue satin made her look particularly serious and noble.

"Hello, Emergency Response Department "A1011-Gray Pigeon Team", the case has been handed over, you can choose to return to the maintenance station to rest. "

This tall student has a relatively mature voice, well, it's that kind of cool and melodious maturity.

"Although I used [Gel Prison] immediately, I can't be sure that the murderer is still nearby. I will be the one responsible for the subsequent actions."

"Thank you."

The conversation between the two was concise and efficient. They did not shy away from the ordinary students present, and they did not reveal any information. It seemed that the information they had obtained was communicated within the internal network.

Ugh, boring professionalism and discipline.

Although the people at the Comprehensive Disciplinary Committee did not say how long they would wait, the students present did not show any impatience.

Fortunately, the scene was not complicated. After a few minutes, the "Gray Pigeon Team" completed the inspection and then began questioning the twenty or thirty people who were eating melons.

"Hello, classmate, please tell me your basic personal information."

The four people working in the "Gray Pigeon Team" were not divided into groups to improve the efficiency of questioning. The four of them, three men and one woman, all stood in front of Wang Shui.

The person who asked the question was a short male student, and the other three stood beside him, maintaining force alert.

"Benjamin, a fourth grader at Millennium Academy, his student ID has been sent face to face."

Wang Shui did not say his full name, but saying the student ID was equivalent to a complete disclosure, so the other party had no doubts.

"Classmate Benjamin, right? Okay, I saw your message. May I ask, have you seen the deceased? And what were you doing ten minutes ago?"

"I haven't seen it... Ten minutes ago, I was wandering from the "Mystery Club". When I went out, I saw someone gathering here, so I subconsciously came over. "

Wang Shui had no need to lie, so he told the truth.

Sure enough, the next moment, an extremely slight burst of energy swept across Wang Shui's head.

Wang Shui forced himself not to look at the shy female student wearing glasses, and then constructed a positive and cooperative mood for himself.

Sure enough, the other party did not continue the cross-examination. He just nodded and went to the next conversation.

It seems like it's just a lie detector?
