Life became mundane for a while after that. Luo Binhan's enthusiasm for learning has greatly diminished, but he still perseveres intermittently, flipping through the boring and weird basic parts of the lecture notes. He still didn't quite understand what Momolo told him about the wishing machine level that day, but at least he found some other fun in the book. There are many fragmentary historical stories there, half about creation and half about destruction. What was particularly interesting was that he found a reference to a living star in the handout.
A guest at a distant celebration—that's what the book calls it. It was the first "living star" discovered in the existence of the Alliance. In countless cases, it is such an existence: it has the size of a planet, but it wanders in the universe like a comet, emitting a variety of mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves and light waves with abnormal frequencies. Regardless of whether living beings have organs for receiving and transforming sound waves and light waves, they will have feelings similar to "hearing cheerful singing" and "seeing stars dancing" when it approaches. It was as if the universe was cheering and celebrating for them, until the planet they were on was hit, pushed to a nearby star, or swallowed whole. And every time a growing civilization tries to make its voice heard in the endless outer space, they may happen to attract this ominous guest.
Similar reports were frequently delivered to Central City for a certain period of time. The Department of Security was responsible for taking over and investigating the matter, initially treating it as some kind of simple giant single creature, some kind of cosmic monster that they had not encountered yet. Further investigation results show that its composition is similar to that of ordinary rocky planets - but it is alive, at least in its mode of action, it shows obvious thinking and vitality. This "living star" brought them much discussion and endless trouble. Like every lawful phenomenon that has ever been active in the Alliance and spread widely, the "living star" has triggered a large number of exorcisms, worship of gods and ghosts, and suicidal sacrifices by primitive civilizations, and many researchers have tried to create its replicas. . In order to curb the negative impact it caused, the Ministry of Security dispatched multiple dispatchers from the Single Biology Section in an attempt to eliminate this scourge forever. However, no matter how many attempts are made, a new song will always come from beyond the border...
These stories about "guests at a distant celebration" certainly reminded Luo Binhan of Lu Fu. Many of the descriptions in the book were similar to those of his deceased friend, but there were also some obvious differences. Lufu does not seem to be able to move freely like in the book. On the contrary, he is trapped in a certain place and cannot move. For this reason, he does not hesitate to seek fun from the devil - the devil, and Li Li. The connection between this is Luo Binhan He hasn't completely figured it out yet, but he's in no rush. Li Li in the warehouse has been booked by him, and the two of them will have a date in the bathroom sooner or later, unless she explains the cave metaphor clearly.
Before that, Luo Binhan decided to do something serious. He did. Studying with Momolo was part of it, and when he found out that he had gained little from it, he was not too disappointed, but sincerely asked himself: Is there a place for him in this ruthless universe? How should he protect himself the next time he is kidnapped by a wolf, a dwarf or a killer horse? This matter may not be a problem for a pirate leader. Only professionals can provide him with the most professional answers.
"Normal people will not be hijacked by so many things, Mr. Luo." Upsilon said by the crib, "Please don't make this assumption so natural."
"Are you interested in what you say?" Luo Binhan sat opposite his shadow and said, "Is there any way? Weapons? Spells? Wishing machines? Anyway, can you kill the person on the other side?"
"Oh, how can you say such a thing to a public official! Calm down, Mr. Luo, can you think about any of the opponents you just mentioned that can be defeated with basic weapons? If you want to undergo a full-body transformation, maybe you can I hope, however, that kind of transformation is best done by people who have settled in a specific environment for a long time, or by people who have a good understanding of transformation technology. Because there will be some differences in the environments of different star realms, which may cause the original function to change. Module function failure - if most places within the alliance have emergency plans, it is really difficult to go to the outside world. I don’t really support you taking this risk. In comparison, the methods on the Yolu side are probably more suitable for you. But that is not an area I know well, it would be better to consult the White Tower."
"How did you train?" Luo Binhan asked curiously, "How did you and Lao Mo learn to fight?"
"There are dedicated instructors in my hometown... Even so, the combat experience of the Yongguang Clan is not very suitable for you, Mr. Luo. After all, our physiques are completely different, and it cannot be solved by reducing the size of the opponent. We can do some moves No problem, Mr. Luo, you may be hit by your opponent's counterattack, not to mention the cooperation of light skills. In short, Mr. Luo, if you want a way to defend yourself, you must first find the fighting technique that best suits your racial characteristics. On this minimum basis, you need to learn some general knowledge of weapons and armor, which is enough for ordinary people. But considering your situation... it is best to memorize the White Tower's product catalog on the open market. , and then choose some self-defense products that are more suitable for you when you go to Mencheng. Well, there are still quite a lot of things you can do!"
Upsilon clapped his palms enthusiastically. He is no longer corporeal, but still appears to be able to control many of the ship's devices. The screen lit up behind him, listing what looked like an inventory of documents.
"I will send this to Momolo and let him teach you step by step. However, the time just to return to Mencheng may not be enough. Mr. Luo, I heard that Momolo is teaching you recently Take the Zhineng introductory course... Actually, I don’t think you need to worry about that. With your personality, I think it will be more effective to start with actual combat. However, Xuanhongzhiyu insists that you take the Zhineng class first. Maybe I don’t Just think about it knowingly.”
Luo Binhan thanked him for the advice and was going to go back and pick up the self-defense skills that Yaleriga taught him. He also found out how many types of fairy sticks the White Tower had sold. Before he left, Upsilon stopped him again and said, "Mr. Luo, has my brother recently invited you to try to combine and transform?"
"I mentioned it once or twice."
"That's it... Although I feel a little guilty, please don't agree to him yet. In the future journey, if it is not a last resort - no, even if it is a last resort, please don't call him."
Luo Binhan turned to look at Upsilon. The phantom beside the bed no longer smiled, but looked at him solemnly.
"Maybe Momolo also told you about the 'Nebula Incarnation'. The form you synthesized with him before was not what the normal Yongguang tribe would look like, and the abilities it displayed completely deviated from common sense. From our past experiences To put it bluntly, this level of existence would put a serious burden on the human body - to put it bluntly, it might cost one's life. I was worried about this when I first saw that form."
Luo Binhan lowered his head and glanced at himself. "But I'm fine," he said.
"Indeed. I also had the system checked when you first boarded the spacecraft. All body functions were very strong and there were no signs of exhaustion at all. The principle is not yet clear, but Mr. Luo, you are not the first You have to pay a price for this transformation, maybe because you are not the one who really called him, or...in any case, the next transformation may endanger your safety. In Momolo's current colonial form, Before the comprehensive test, please do not make any attempts to combine. I will tell Momolo about this later."
Luo Binhan nodded and left the door silently. He didn't mention it to Momolo again for a while, and Momolo looked the same as before. When he was full of energy he would read that damn handout until he got bored, then drop the book and do some physical training. It's hard for him to say what effect the latter has. Compared with dealing with dwarfs or wolves, it promotes the growth of his abdominal muscles. What's deplorable is that he can't use his abdominal muscles to pinch anyone to death - he really Can't? Doesn’t the White Tower have any deadly weapons specially prepared for muscle lovers?
That was the day when Luo Binhan started flipping through the Baita product catalog, looking for any atypical self-defense weapons. He sat in the lounge at the head of the spacecraft, commenting on White Tower products with the slime creatures in the fish tank. By this time he had given it a completely new name.
"Miffy, come here." Luo Binhan held up a piece of paper and said, "Take a look at this."
The mucus in the fish tank squirmed, lifting the string-like vocal organ. But before it had time to comment, Momoluo came. He excitedly held a diamond-shaped crystal and thrust it straight in front of Luo Binhan's eyes.
"Mr. Luo, please look at this!"
Luo Binhan was almost blinded by the light released from the crystal. Fortunately, he has had enough experience living with the Yongguang tribe and has been able to adapt to this sudden brightness difference. He squinted his eyes to observe the crystal and found some floating images inside, a small dark universe floating in the crystal.
"What is this?" he asked.
"It's the connection device of the Star Network, Mr. Luo. Just now, senior Upsilon said that the signal from the alliance can be received, so I logged in and took a look, and it turned out that senior Safaya sent me this! It said it was I saw it on an entertainment program in Mencheng not long ago!”
Luo Binhan lowered his head and stared at the crystal. At first he didn't know what Momolo wanted him to see, until a line of words appeared in the crystal: Family Happy Moments.
He blinked several times. The line of words grew larger and larger until they occupied his entire field of vision, making Momolo and the entire room seem insignificant. He was sitting in the middle of a universe of mad chaos. The drums and music are noisy, the singing is booming, and every shining star is dancing excitedly.
The singing got louder and louder. He looked up and saw a huge planet passing above him. It didn't emit light, and in Luo Binhan's eyes was just a hazy and terrifying shadow. Carnival-like, passionate and rich music floated from the shadows. He heard singing, drums, flutes, pianos, bells... any musical instrument that he recognized or could not recognize at the same time, mixing up the music that made people tear apart their bones and flesh. melody. It was as if there were a pair of red-hot iron shoes on his feet, forcing him to dance to the melody.
That terrible experience lasted only a moment. Then the stars moved away from him. It never paid attention to him, but was chasing another target. Luo Binhan slumped in his chair, sweating and staring into the distance. It was impossible for him to see small things that were light years away, but he did see them clearly. In an unknown place far away, what was being chased and fled by the singing star was not another star, nor a spaceship or spaceship. In fact, the target was much smaller - it was a young man in red.
Luo Binhan jumped up from his chair. He tried to chase the flying star and see clearly who its target was. Then he screamed and covered his head where he hit the wall.
