After an unknown amount of time, Li Nuo woke up leisurely in a narrow single room.
The drowsiness in my mind quickly receded, and my vision became clear and clear.
Outside the window, gloomy gray clouds gathered overhead, dyeing the sunlight into a dilapidated gray-white.
The ground is covered with the ruins of collapsed stone houses and sharp-edged rocks. In the dark places where the sun doesn't shine, sneaky black shadows appear and linger silently.
Inside the carriage, the worn green leather seats revealed the yellowing cotton wadding inside, the yellowing light bulbs on the ceiling emitted dispensable dim light, and the dank air was mixed with the choking smell of cigarette smoke.
"I really traveled through time... This seems to be a world with relatively backward technology..."
Li Nuo rubbed his eyes, looked at the scene inside and outside the carriage, and slowly exhaled the air that had been held in his chest for a long time.
At the moment when he accepted his situation, a very weak electric current appeared out of thin air in his head, swinging back and forth between the left and right brains.
An illusory pattern like a pendulum quickly formed in front of his eyes.
Li Nuo's pupils dilated slightly and his breathing stagnated.
The swing of this "pendulum" gradually accelerated, dragging out a series of afterimages, and finally formed a fan-shaped system interface.
An information flow composed purely of text emerges on the simple white system interface.
[Detecting that you have completely woken up, the "Deconstruction Core System" begins to initialize...]
[Initialization progress 1%...2%...]
“Deconstructing the core?”
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.
According to the basic law of time travel, the person who travels either has a plug-in or has the ability to predict the world they arrive in.
Therefore, the system interface that appeared in front of him did not surprise Li Nuo too much.
But why is my plug-in "deconstructing the core system"?
He was sure that he had never come into contact with anything named this before traveling through time. There are quite a lot of various game modifiers, weird software, etc. on his computer.
[System initialization is completed, and the exclusive skill has been unlocked for you: Deconstruction. 】
[Deconstruction: When you specify an object with your eyes, thoughts, or any part of your body, you can consume a certain amount of energy to deconstruct it. You will get deconstruction results for the item. The more effort you invest, the more detailed the deconstruction results will be. 】
This text hovers on the system interface, and no additional content appears after this.
Li Nuo scratched his head habitually, feeling a little strange.
Before time travel, in the online novels he had read, basically every "system" would have a panel that displayed the host's body data.
But why doesn’t this deconstructed core system have such a panel?
Moreover, the interface of his system is bare. Except for the introduction of "Deconstruction", there are no other buttons - such as lottery, sign-in, shopping mall and other functions, none of them appear.
Looking at it this way, the system I got is really a bit too simple...
Li Nuo thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved.
He seems to know how to activate the "Personal Panel" function.
Li Nuo looked at his hands, focused his attention on the palms, and said silently in his heart:
"Activate the deconstruction technique and deconstruct myself."
[System message: You are about to activate deconstruction on yourself. It is estimated that by consuming 1 point of energy, the completion of the deconstruction result will reach 100%. Are you sure you want to deconstruct? 】
"It's true... If you want to get your own personal panel, you just need to activate the Deconstruction Technique on yourself."
Li Nuo slowly nodded and said "confirm" silently.
At this moment, he felt like he was in a trance, as if he was yawning after feeling sleepy.
The field of vision completes the process from clear to blurry, and then from blurry to clear again in one second.
At the same time, a rapidly filling progress bar appeared on the system interface, and then a brand new sub-interface appeared, which was exactly the personal panel Li Nuo was looking forward to.
...
【Name】Reno·Jarvis
【Race】Organism·Natural Human
【Identity 1】criminal soldier
Affiliated to: Tartis Empire, MI4, Korab Mercenary Corps
Identity description: Join the army as a guilty person, perform meritorious service as a scapegoat, and exchange military merit for a legal identity. After completing three legion missions, you will be removed as a criminal soldier and gain the status of a private member of the Korab Mercenary Legion.
Status Effect: You do not enjoy citizenship rights in the TARDIS Empire. When you socialize with any character in the TARDIS Empire for the first time, the initial evaluation of you by the social partner will be negative. But if you can display your charm correctly, the other person's evaluation of you will be quickly corrected.
【Identity 2】Debtor
Your current personal debt is NT$3.11 million.
This amount was enough to buy a luxurious mansion with a garden and a pool on Avenue 1 in the imperial capital. Or in a luxurious club, drunkenly and dreamily for two consecutive years.
【Attributes】
(In parentheses are the average values for adult men in the TARDIS Empire.)
Tenacity: 11 (15)
This value represents your physical fitness, which is related to resistance to blows, endurance, strength, anti-toxin ability, etc.
Dexterity: 13 (16)
This value represents your mobility, related to dodge speed, reaction speed, flexibility, etc.
Spirit: 15 (5)
This value represents your mental strength level, which is related to willpower, acceptance of mysticism, abstract thinking ability, etc.
The illiteracy rate in the Tatis Empire is as high as 60%. You have read a lot of books and are a scholar like no other.
Charisma: 21 (7)
Before you come into contact with specific extraordinary factors, this value is only related to your personal image and temperament.
The higher the number, the better or worse the social partner's impression of you. How that works out depends on your interest in the person you're socializing with.
【Energy Value】14/15
Your "Spirit" attribute is 15 points. This means that your energy regenerates at a rate of 15 points every 24 hours.
[blood volume] cannot be measured
You are pure organism. Your health status cannot be displayed digitally. But your total blood volume is similar to that of an average adult man, nothing special about it.
[Soul Strength] 2 points
You absorbed the soul of the original owner "Leno Jarvis". Your soul is twice as strong as an average adult. This attribute is of little use to you until you learn how to consume Soul Strength.
【Skill】
Active skill: Deconstruction, which has reached the highest level. Deconstruct everything you want to deconstruct and you will get the answer. Of course, the premise is that you have enough energy.
Passive skills: None.
Knowledge skills:
TARDIS Modern Mathematics, Level 5, corresponds to the graduation level of secondary academic level of City College.
Tardis Modern Literature, level 6, corresponds to the secondary academic graduation level of City College.
History of the TARDIS Empire, level 15, corresponds to the graduation level of the City College's advanced studies.
Archeology, level 8, corresponds to the professional level of a history teaching assistant at City College.
...
Li Nuo read the personal panel from beginning to end and secretly thought that he was really a weak history student.
The memory of the original owner was in his mind. As long as he sees certain keywords, a memory fragment belonging to the original owner will pop up from the depths of his mind.
Just looking at his personal panel, several memory fragments automatically played in his mind.
Li Nuo has figured out the general incident.
The original owner had a serious job before - serving as a teaching assistant in the history of TARDIS in a city college.
It is precisely because of the original owner's study and research of history that Li Nuo has a level 15 Tadis Empire history skill and a level 8 archeology skill...
Now, a person like him who is engaged in teaching history is going to be a criminal soldier in the borderland of suffering...
What's the difference between this and driving him to his death?
Li Nuo pressed his forehead and sighed silently. He glanced at the debt scale on his personal dashboard and felt his eyes twitching.
Personal debt of up to 3.11 million new Solon coins...
This is too sour and refreshing, who can bear it...
The original owner's parents, brother, and sister died tragically in a car accident, leaving him with such a large personal debt.
That's right, in the empire called Tadis, personal debts, like personal assets, will be inherited by immediate relatives or designated heirs after a person's death.
Almost all the original owner's family died, so the debt naturally fell on him.
"Oh, no, to be precise, it should have fallen on my head." Li Nuo shook his head and sighed.
Speaking of which, the Tartis Empire is really weird.
It does not just shoot criminals who commit major criminal cases.
It also has its own set of methods for dealing with disputes caused by debt issues.
When a person is obviously unable to repay his debts, he will be forcibly deprived of his citizenship, beaten as a criminal soldier, and sent to the borderlands of misery as cannon fodder along with many serious criminals.
Li Nuo is in such a situation now.
And at the intersection of suffering, this is not a good place.
It is the junction of the three forces.
It is located west of the western frontier of the Tatis Empire, south of the southern frontier of the Golden Federation, and east of the Eastern Pass of the Necronomicon.
The Tatis Empire and the Golden Federation belong to the camp of the living, while the Necromantic Cult is the kingdom of the dead.
Life and death are like water and fire.
When the two collide, fierce conflicts will arise.
Generally speaking, death is the final destination of life.
Every death of the living will strengthen the camp of the dead.
Therefore, the camp of the living is naturally at a disadvantage when facing the camp of the dead.
This is the situation at the intersection of suffering:
The Necromancer Cult has an absolute advantage, occupying more than 80% of the land in the border area, including large areas above ground and almost all underground caves.
The living can only build military fortresses on land and regularly clean up surrounding territories to curb the growth and spread of the forces of the dead.
In this unfamiliar place of misery, the deconstruction technique provided by the deconstruction core system is the only thing Li Nuo can rely on at this stage.
Be sure to plan your energy well and not waste it on deconstructing irrelevant items.
Items that can change lives, bring about transformation, or acquire skills and knowledge are worthy of expending energy to deconstruct.
So, what kind of things can meet this standard? ...Li Nuo gently touched his cheek and wiped away the dried blood.
He used his arms to prop himself up on the seat and adjusted from a semi-lying position to a sitting position.
The face of a haggard young man was reflected on the car window glass. His face was pale, his nose was high, his eyes were sunken, and his two eyes were crystal blue.
The tough yet soft facial contours make this male face handsome, but it is covered with a melancholy that is so thick that it cannot be let go.
Li Nuo temporarily ignored this unfamiliar yet familiar face.
He focused his eyes slightly and looked out the window at the desolate scene.
Under the dim sunlight, the ruins were littered with broken furniture, sneaky rats, broken gun barrels, and many gruesome bone remains.
All of these things can be deconstructed using the deconstruction technique, which requires energy ranging from 1 point to dozens of points.
It is estimated that the deconstruction result should be similar to the personal panel, which is an introduction to the parameters of a specific item.
Looking up, thick clouds covered the starry sky and the sun. Li Nuo curiously recited "deconstructing the clouds" silently.
The news fed back by the system was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Clouds can actually be deconstructed...
[System message: You are about to launch the deconstruction technique on the "abnormal cloud". It is estimated that every 1,000 points of energy consumed can increase the completion of the deconstruction result by 1%. Are you sure you want to deconstruct? 】
[Warning, your current energy value is insufficient, and the deconstruction technique will not be able to obtain any deconstruction results. 】
"Abnormal clouds...Aren't these clouds formed naturally?
"Just 1% deconstruction completion requires 1,000 points of energy...
"I really don't know what deconstruction results will be obtained by deconstructing the dark clouds..."
Li Nuo frowned and thought.
At this moment, heavy footsteps came from the corridor outside the narrow single room.
The visitor stood in front of the single room door and pulled open the door panel with his hand.
The yellow-toothed guard with a cigarette in his mouth appeared in front of Li Nuo.
"You finally woke up, criminal soldier Li Nuo Jarvis. Then don't be idle and cooperate with me to record a confession."
The guard entered the single room, closed the door with his backhand, and locked the two of them inside.
