Chapter 2 Light Curtain Instrument
Five hours later, night fell.
"Chaoyang New Village" next to the No. 23 Special Garbage Disposal Site.
Although the name sounds good, Chaoyang New Village is the most dilapidated low-rent housing community in Fuge City.
Because of its proximity to the magic weapon tomb, the environment here is very harsh, and the air is filled with a pungent smell all year round. Even if the main urban area is blue sky and white clouds, it is also gray. Among the nineteen low-rent housing communities in Fuge City, it is the lowest level, and naturally the rent is also the lowest.
No matter how cheap the rent is, not many people like to live next to the garbage dump. Many residential buildings are vacant. In addition, they have been disrepaired, the facade is covered with cracks and spider webs are everywhere in the corridor, making it a ghost town.
Li Yao is the permanent resident of this "ghost town".
He likes that this place is quiet enough, and he will not disturb others even if he repairs and renovates magic weapons at home. He is close to the magic weapon grave and the rent is cheap, which is simply a hit.
His home is a suite of more than 50 square meters, two inside and outside, and eating, drinking, and urinating. However, the bedroom inside is transformed into a magic weapon repair studio.
As soon as I entered the room, the first thing that caught my eye was hundreds of crystal brains hanging from the ceiling with ropes, like hundreds of small skulls.
Most of these crystal brains are old antiques hundreds of years ago. They have lost their computing power and have been picked up by Li Yao as collectibles. He is a crystal brain fan and is very interested in this magic weapon that can imitate the brain of a cultivator to calculate thousands of thoughts.
The small living room is filled with physical books that are rare in this era, from "Overview of Magic Warehouse Repair", "Simple Tutorial on Refining Primary Flying Swords", "Self-cultivation of a Weapon Refiner" to "The Black Mountain Old Demon-level Crystal Warship Repair Manual", and "Ninety-Nine Ways to Blast a Planet", many of which are ancient books hundreds of years ago, gray, yellow and crispy.
Surrounded by books and crystal brain, there is a straw mat that is half old and not new. This is Li Yao's dining table, chairs and bed.
The magic weapon repair studio in the inner room was filled with rare treasures he picked up from the garbage dump, flying swords with cold light, talismans with dragons and snakes, and elixirs with strange fragrance...
He dismantled more magic weapons into the most basic components, piled up in the corners, turning into several miniature garbage mountains.
At this time, Li Yao was holding a silver-white box-shaped magic weapon, his eyes shining, as if he had seen a big bad wolf with a little white rabbit, and there was almost a trace of saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The flying sword with black wings leaned out from behind him, like a curious fat snake.
"It turns out to be the latest generation of 'three-dimensional light curtain instrument' launched by Qianhuan Sect, which is priced at more than 20,000 yuan! If it can be repaired, it will be sold for 8,000 yuan. Xiao Hei, we are developed this time!" Li Yao couldn't help but whistle.
The black flying sword squeaked, and the two wings flew up and down, dancing, revealing a trace of the same "greed" smell as the owner.
Li Yao's hand shook, and seven or eight strange-shaped repair tools appeared between his fingers, some of which looked like screwdrivers, some like small tweezers, and thin silver needles and curved tools that could not be named.
"Xiao Hei, how many seconds do you think?"
The black flying sword sneered twice, and used the tip of the sword to gesture a "50" in the void.
"Fifty seconds? Underestimate me!"
Close the eyelids, take a deep breath, calm down for three seconds, and when you open your eyes, the greed and excitement in your eyes are gone, leaving only the coldness and overflowing confidence of the ancient well.
Li Yao's hands suddenly activated, and his ten fingers turned into ten streams of light, completely covering the silver-white magic weapon. At first, he could still vaguely see the movement of his fingertips, but later he could only see a dazzling white light, and a "rustling" sound came from the white light.
Half a minute later, the white light shook, the rustling sound disappeared, hundreds of afterimages returned to their original body one by one, Li Yao's hands were still in their original position, not even a single minute was moved.
The silver-white magic weapon "three-dimensional light curtain" has been dismantled into 425 components by him.
"Thirty-nine seconds, it's done!"
Li Yao cheered, squeezed his eyes smugly at the black flying sword, and began to study it with concentration.
"Tsk tsk, it is really worthy of being the latest model of light curtain refined by the 'Qianhuan Sect'. It has a delicate structure and the balance between spiritual power is as natural as it is. The most amazing thing is this main chip. There are more than 300 spiritual talismans engraved on the main chip the size of a fingernail, pulling each other, forming more than twenty talisman arrays, which are simply a work of art!"
Li Yao held a magnifying glass and carefully observed the removed main chip. His face was filled with pilgrimage. As he looked, his expression became more and more serious.
"Not right... not just three hundred talismans. This main chip seems to use crystal folding technology, superimposing three chips together. A total of thousands of talismans were stored, forming hundreds of three-dimensional talisman arrays. It's incredible!"
The more I studied, the more I felt that it was profound and profound. Li Yao was completely addicted to it, forgot the passage of time, and studied it for more than three hours, but he could not analyze even a complete talisman array, but he was dizzy and his eyes were dark.
He is only at most a "primary magic weapon maintenance worker" and is too far from the level of a weapon refiner of the "Thousand Fantasy Sect".
If there is a problem with this "main chip", then he has no choice but to sell the three-dimensional light screen as scrap.
Fortunately, after using the "spirit storage device", Li Yao found that the spiritual power of the main chip was running smoothly, the spiritual path was clear, the talisman array was stable, and there was nothing abnormal.
After careful inspection, I found that the problem was on a lowest-level transistor, because the transistor was burned out due to abnormal fluctuations in spiritual power.
This transistor is a standard part and is very convenient to replace. Li Yao quickly found a replacement from his home inventory.
Close your eyes and silently recalled the disassembly process just now. A huge and detailed structural diagram appeared in my mind. My hands were activated naturally, and a gust of wind swept away the clouds. The three-dimensional light curtain was reassembled!
Use the spirit storage device to input a spiritual energy, and the white shell emits a faint blue light, like a whole piece of crystal clear jade, and like an elf with life.
After being swept across the forehead by the blue light, dozens of control runes naturally appeared in Li Yao's mind.
"Light screen, turn on!" Li Yao said silently in his heart, and a control rune in his mind immediately shone.
The blue light on the light curtain gathered into a "return" rune, which seemed like a vortex, spinning twice quickly, and a blue beam of light shot out from the center of the vortex, condensed into a huge light curtain in the air. The light curtain flashed, showing the image of a middle-aged cultivator wearing a Bagua Taoist robe. It was vivid and lifelike.
Behind this cultivator is a larger light curtain, with red and green runes, numbers, arrows constantly jumping and changing.
The middle-aged cultivator had a expressionless face, and Gu Jing said without waves: "The following is to continue broadcasting financial news to you. The following is a stock market summary - today's biggest news is undoubtedly the 'Shadowless Sword School' announced the launch of the latest generation of flying sword driving talisman array 'Purple Light'. It is said that after the application of 'Purple Light', the maximum speed of the flying sword can be increased by 9%, instantly increasing the destructive power by 11%, and the spiritual power consumed can be reduced by 5%, which is very obvious to the comprehensive performance of the flying sword."
"Affected by this positive news, the Shadowless Sword Sect's stock price rose all the way, approaching the daily limit before 10 o'clock and maintained until the close."
"The stock prices of the entire sword cultivation sector, including the Giant Sword Sect, the Extreme North Sword Sect, and the South China Sea Sword Sect, have also been rising all the way. As of the close, the sword cultivation sector has generally risen by 5.42 percentage points."
"On the other hand, the stock prices of sects such as the "Golden Armor Sect" that focus on defense have fallen all the way. Analysts generally believe that with the emergence of new talisman arrays such as "Purple Lightning", the flying sword technology will make a revolutionary leap. The current mainstream armor cannot defend against the latest model of flying sword attacks. As of the close, the stock price of the Golden Armor Sect fell by more than 8%.
"The Golden Armor Sect held an interim press conference after the closing. The Golden Armor Sect spokesman Elder Black Rock announced that the development of the latest generation of the 'Star Strike Shield' armor has made breakthrough progress. The prototype will be released within the year and will definitely be able to defend against all attacks from flying swords."
"In the grassland area in the northern part of the Federation, the black nematode epidemic continues to spread and has spread to the spiritual beast breeding bases of multiple beast sects. The disaster has exceeded 500,000 spiritual beasts. The rare disaster has caused the stock price of the beast sect to continue to run at a low level, and the stock prices of multiple beast sects have fallen below the three-year low."
"Okay, let's invite the famous stock critic Tian Xingzi to give you individual stock reviews."
“…”
After watching for a long time, Li Yao found that the picture was stable, the sound was clear, and there were no snowflakes or markings. Especially the three-dimensional feeling was very strong, which made people feel immersive. It should have been repaired.
After thinking about it, my brain meditated again: "Switch to the entertainment channel."
A blue light flashed, and the middle-aged cultivator and the red and green light curtain disappeared instantly, and replaced by a bustling stadium.
The large stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people is full, with noisy voices and boiling in the sky. Under the colorful light, hundreds of thousands of passionate boys and girls raised their hands and shouted a name together:
"Lu Yinxi!"
"Lu Yinxi!"
"Lu Yinxi!"
On the three-story main stage, there were dozens of sharp crystals standing. When the cheers of the boys and girls gathered to the extreme, the thickest crystal suddenly burst. A girl in white with a cold appearance as snow but with a hot eyes as magma jumped out of the crystal. She was slung a guqin that looked like a pile of crystals. She swept the strings with a slender hand, and the sound of a golden sword and iron horse was blown out!
"If you have a dream in your heart, you must fly arrogantly. The other side of the galaxy is our direction! This is ours, cultivation! True! New! Century!"
Like all the boys and girls, Li Yao's blood began to boil.
The hot-boosting girl "Lu Yinxi" on the stage is an idol female singer who has just risen in the past two years. As soon as she debuted, she attracted a large number of teenagers with her cold look and explosive singing style. The famous song "40,000 Years of Cultivation" became popular throughout the Federation in just half a year. It was inspired by this song that countless teenagers embarked on the road of Cultivation.
Li Yao is also her fan, but the reason is different from others. He likes Lu Yinxi because everyone has the same background.
They are all orphans.
Li Yao was born in the No. 23 Special Waste Disposal Site. Since I can remember, the sky has been gray and yellow.
They eat rotten meat in the garbage dump and drink polluted stinky water. They rely on their beastly instincts and a little "secret" deep in memory to survive. From being bullied at the beginning to becoming the most dangerous "vulture" in the magic weapon grave more than ten years later.
If it weren't for the appearance of "Dad", Li Yao might have been hanging out in the garbage dump and become another "fat dragon" or "wild wolf".
But one day six years ago, a garbage boat mixed his father in dozens of tons of garbage and threw him down. Li Yao felt compassion again and dragged his scarred father home.
From then on, his fate completely changed.
My father never talked about his origin. Li Yao only knew that he must be a very powerful magic weapon modification expert. In just five years, my father taught Li Yao tens of thousands of strange magic weapon transformation techniques, taught him knowledge of various basic disciplines, and paid him to go to a private high school in the city, allowing him to integrate into a normal society.
A year ago, my father died of an old injury. What he left to Li Yao was a mysterious flying sword named "Black Wings". It is said that he had been studying it for most of his life and had not developed a series of weird guys. There is another sentence:
"Xiao Yao, Dad, I have been to dozens of worlds in my life and have seen tens of thousands of magic weapon modification masters and weapon refining masters. And your talent is the highest!"
"You can maintain low-level magic weapons with just mortal hands. You are really amazing."
"But relying solely on talent is not enough! relying solely on talent, you can only maintain low-level magic weapons, civilian magic weapons!"
"Promise my dad, study hard, strive to get into college, and become a cultivator! Only by becoming a cultivator can you take a step further in the maintenance of magic weapons, and one day..."
"Become a true weapon refining master!"
When my father said this, Li Yao still remembered the scene with his eyes wide open and his eyes were full of light.
The weapon refining master... that is one of the most respected professions in the circle of cultivators.
He didn't know if he would disappoint his father.
The Black Winged Sword was silently with him, listening to the girl singing like a volcano erupting in the light curtain, and the two wings were twisting constantly with the vigorous singing and dancing.
After a long time, the boy's eyes lit up, and a smile full of indifferent appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What do you do if you think so much? No matter how hard you try, just fight!"
"Lu Yinxi can go from a little orphan to the most popular female singer in the Federation. Why can't I go from a little garbage bug to a real weapon refiner?"
The boy remembered a sentence he had heard from a long time ago, far away, far away:
"Dreams always have to be there, what if they come true?"
Chapter completed!
