["On the thirty-seventh day of the journey, the Holy Order's supplies are running low, but we still have no sign of the next torch..."
"...Akel mutated. Right before my eyes, he twisted into a lump of meat in an instant, and was then shot to death by the Lord Knight...Is it because of food? Yes There is not enough 'illumination', I am still innocent, I have lost my determination to continue going..."
"...Great, we finally found the promised land in the ancient books. We got clean water. There are only a few low-level demons outside, which are not too difficult to deal with. The most important thing, It was we who found the 'torch', ah, what a perfect light. I had a good sleep last night, and I actually dreamed... But when I thought of going back and walking the painful road again, I ......."
"The leader of the knights has said that this will be our new territory in the future, and he will be our new lord. Although everyone is a little hesitant, no one objects...or, everyone is looking forward to it. ..."]
Lu Ping'an put down the notebook in his hand. The "Sphinx's buff" was very effective as he successfully copied two and a half hours of pollution knowledge.
At this time, he was reading at night.
He did not leave the "factory" and stayed directly in a local hotel.
And his desk was already filled with a pile of tattered second-hand books and second-hand notes. If observed with spiritual vision, they would all be more or less contaminated.
This was what he gained from shopping during the day. With the "comprehension" buff, he naturally used it to improve his scholar professional ability. Those two lv7s were always the super threshold that stuck in his advancement.
Since he was aiming to improve his "reading and writing" skills, the books he selected were naturally more special...or, in other words, highly cost-effective.
"I never expected that such pollution-intensive but cheap books could actually be otherworld books and travel notes..."
Thinking about it carefully, it is natural. "Travel notes", "geography of other worlds", etc. sound interesting and interesting to read... At least Lu Ping'an is really fascinated by it.
But they are meaningless.
The content it contains may be precious knowledge for other worlds, or the secrets of a certain god or a certain period of history, but for the native Earthling Lu Ping'an, it is also a very interesting book... ..Although the protagonists are basically real people, and few of them lived to finish the book.
Maybe you may use it when traveling long distances, but you don’t know how many zeros there are after the decimal point.
A pile of books with the same amount of knowledge and other contamination are only a few tenths of the price of other "useful books". Most of them are second-hand copies, copied copies, and incomplete copies, which further reduces their practical value.
After all, incompleteness and copying mean that the knowledge is incomplete and not original. Incomplete or tampered with "knowledge" is an unexploded mine that may kill the reader at any time.
The bookstore owner was so happy when he saw Lu Ping'an "practicing his skills" and taking away a bunch of unsaleable items.
But on the other hand, Lu Ping'an didn't feel that he had suffered a loss at all.
"...It is indeed a silver-level consumable buff. It is really powerful."
The elf didn't lie, but he didn't tell everything either. Obtaining this buff was not easy. The other side of the power was high risk.
It is true that you will only lose your arm if you fail the first time, but the pain and fear will immediately bring about the second quiz game. If you fail the second time, you will lose your head, and if there is a third time, it will be your heart... ..Send you off to the west directly at the rule level.
This was a seemingly harmless gamble, but since Lu Ping'an won, he had gained a lot.
Lu Ping An has never been exposed to the silver-level buff Lu Ping An, and coupled with the two limitations of short-term consumption and passive type to increase the effect, if Lu Ping An's "understanding" is helped in the short term, it will not be tiring to read these books, even Even the language of other worlds has increased a lot... What troubled him most before was actually the interestingness of the books.
Now that he is watching each "protagonist" die one after another, he can't stop.
But are these things really meaningless? That's not necessarily the case. What Lu Pingan saw in it was a completely different world view, or in other words, a bold idea.
"Perhaps our current civilized society is not the only choice..."
The world of the translation copy that Lu Pingan has now obtained is quite subtle.
Humans or creatures similar to humans who can write books live like pets or even insects... The wilderness is extremely dangerous. There are all kinds of monsters and even evil gods everywhere. If a person walks alone in the wilderness, there are countless The Queen of Heaven has basically mutated.
A large number of fortress cities have become gathering points for human beings. The "torch" of order has dispelled the surrounding darkness and limited the population limit of the towns. Even though technological innovation in some places has surpassed the earth, feudalism and theocracy are still the dominant forces in society. mainstream, and slavery even became a form of redemption in some areas.
"Haha, the situation in our world has deteriorated again. Will it return to this city-state era?"
Lu Ping An’s idea is not unfounded. Among the recent series of reforms, there is one of “relocating sparsely populated small and medium-sized villages and towns to medium and large cities”, which is reducing the cost of maintaining social stability.
I have to admit that these messy transcripts from different worlds have greatly expanded Lu Ping'an's horizons and made him think about his future.
["The new source is not far away, not far away!"
"The first batch of seeds was only two hundred, but two survived! Their mutation...its strength has reached the level of 'one-horned monster', which is great. When they grow up, we can go Grab another source..."
"...We need to eat more and mutate more to ensure the advantage of our race, those damn flying beasts..."]
The worldview mentioned in this fragment is exactly the opposite of the previous two.
The main races in the previous world actively avoided pollution and uncontrollable mutations, which increased the number of ethnic groups.
As for the "calligrapher" race in the latter world, they are not the only intelligent and civilized race in their world, they are just members of a huge competitive race.
In their world, the "source of pollution" has become a resource. Allowing the tribesmen to mutate more and possess special abilities is the tribe's advantage in competing for living space and resources.
Become a monster? Who cares, if it is slow, it will become the food ration of other ethnic groups.
As for most mutants losing their rationality or even losing their form? It has become a price that the world must pay. Their tolerance for the "weird shapes" of their own race is surprisingly high, and they even regard it as a kind of beauty and fashion.
Various intelligent races are competing crazily, competing to see who becomes crazier, who can eat more "pollution" upstream in the food chain, and obtain more "total pollution proportion"... This number is used to Ensure the overall strength of the group and its overall advantage in the competition for survival.
It is worth mentioning that if Lu Ping'an made no miscalculation, considering the mutation speed of both sides, the "pollution level" of the two worlds is actually about the same.
Lu Ping'an silently covered his face with the book, and "written" both broke through the lv6 system prompts, allowing him to calm down and think calmly...
“These two worlds should be ‘highly polluted’ worlds. The earth fifty years ago was ‘lowly polluted’, and now it should be ‘medium polluted’…”
If we use an easy-to-understand analogy, the pollution levels between worlds can be seen as the difference between "deep water areas" and "shallow water areas."
As a result of the "Great Call", a world with low pollution levels entered a "moderate pollution zone", which has also led to a series of changes now.
Each world has completely different attitudes and systems for survival, which makes Lu Ping'an a little fascinated. He understands those "traveling dogs" running around with nothing to do.
But among these "stories", what he cares more about is the existence of "god" and "profession".
From beginning to end, he did not see the Almighty in the biblical story, only special and powerful existences, a super pollution source at a high point, and the power derived from Him.
The superpower system is similar to the human occupation system, which is more or less similar in other worlds. There are "occupations" in many worlds, but none of them are exactly the same.
Imitating and marking the path of a certain high-end creature, and engraving and copying its growth path, the evolutionary path, can be regarded as one of the common ideas for dealing with pollution in all major worlds.
Some are fast, some are slow, some are stable, some are betting on dogs... Lu Ping'an asked the big cats, and there are even professions unique to humans that transform into other worlds.
And among many systems, the human career system is growing slowly but more stably, unlike some systems where you have to gamble your life every time you upgrade.
He also guessed that these power systems are also directly linked to the pollution level of the world.
In the past, humans could not produce great gods, perhaps just because the pollution level was not high enough... Those competing for the "world pollution ratio", there were only a few powerful races that looked the same, which left a deep impression on Lu Ping'an.
Thinking, pondering, and calculating, Lu Pingan continued to read at night.
"Some plans may need to be rearranged. Since order may not be eternal, I may be too conservative..."
