Chapter 157
157 The last night
Cold water sprayed from his head. Xia Pingan raised his head and stood in the bathroom, allowing the cold water to drip down his body.
Xia Pingan’s body wasn’t considered strong, and his muscles weren’t as exaggerated as bodybuilders’. However, the lines of his muscles were clearly defined, as if they were carved out of marble, full of a kind of charm that alternated between hard and soft.
Under the cold water, the tattoo of Acalanatha on Xia ping ‘an’s back became more and more vivid.
The water droplets could not only wash away the dust and sweat on the body, but it could also calm the mind and mind completely.
In the afternoon, Xia Pingan and the others had completed two days of study. Early the next morning, the 54 people who were participating in the ” heaven patching plan ” would enter the spatial Rift in batches and head to that mysterious world.
According to the chief researcher of the base, the official name of the world on the other side of the space crack was yuanqiu.
Yuanqiu was a strange name with an oriental charm. No one knew why that world was called yuanqiu. The two words ” yuanqiu ” were recorded in the ancient books of that world. The people of that world rarely used it themselves. For the people of that world, they preferred to call the place they lived in a certain continent.
Yuan Qiu was so big that even the first four batches of people who entered Yuan Qiu didn’t know how big that world was. Yuan Qiu had Nine Continents that were discovered, and the area of each continent easily exceeded the total area of all the continents on earth.
The summoners of Yuan Qiu could become gods. At the same time, that world was filled with all kinds of unimaginable creatures and monsters. Yuan Qiu did not have nuclear energy. For some reason, the entire Yuan Qiu could not use electricity.
The first few batches of elites who entered yuanqiu, including some scientists and top engineers, had once envisioned bringing yuanqiu into the era of electricity and creating a technological Empire in that world. Then, they would use the power of technology to find and destroy The Dark Tower, but this plan had undoubtedly failed.
When a world could no longer use electricity, modern technology would no longer exist.
Coal and steam were the most commonly used energy in that world. Guns, gunpowder, cars and trains could be found in that world. The development level of Science and Technology in that world was almost equal to that of the first industrial revolution in this world.
Summoners who wanted to become gods, there were all kinds of monsters, guns, steam engines, ships, and trains. That world felt a little magical.
There were all kinds of family forces, religions that worshipped all kinds of gods, and countries, sects, and mercenary groups with all kinds of political bodies. The world was extremely complicated.
The summoners in that world not only had to face all kinds of magical creatures, but the wars and various struggles between humans were also unusually fierce.
For people in this world, the space invasion and those magical beasts were the No. 1 enemies of all humans. However, it was different in that world. In that world, although races such as magical wolves, magical rats, magical fire spiders and other magical beasts were also hostile to humans, they were not as urgent as the survival of this world.
In that world, the wars and contradictions between humans were fiercer, including those between religions, countries, clans and various other factors. They almost never stopped.
……
This might be Xia Pingan’s last bath in this world.
As Xia ping ‘an washed his body with cold water, he went through all the information he had learned about the world in the past two days in his mind. The cold water droplets made Xia ping’ an’s thoughts exceptionally active. He categorized, summarized, and refined the information in his mind to find the most useful things for himself.
This information was only part of yuanqiu world. It was the information collected from the previous ” heaven patching plan “. The impact of the first four rounds of the heaven patching plan on that world was like a drop of water in the ocean. It did not cause any waves. Those who went to that world did not return. They either died or went missing.
Xia ping ‘an was very interested in the sagemaster of that world. According to the chief researcher of the base, the sagemaster of that world was the highest-ranking existence among Summoners because he was able to cultivate Summoners and allow the summoners to successfully integrate certain realm beads.
He just didn’t know what the sagemaster’s realm Pearl looked like.
If he could become the sagemaster, it would probably be of great help to the completion of the heaven mending plan.
She had just finished her shower, dried her hair, and changed into a new set of clothes when the doorbell rang.
Xia ping ‘an opened the door and saw Yan duo also standing outside the door in high spirits.”How is it? are you ready?” Yan duo raised his eyebrows at Xia Pingan.
“Let’s go!”
Tonight was everyone’s last night in this world, and they would be leaving early the next morning. So, the 54 Summoners from the country of fire gathered for the last time tonight to prepare for their ” last dinner. when they arrived there, they might not even have the chance to get together again.
In the past two days, the details of the ” mending the heavens plan ” had already been clarified. This mission was a completely free mission. There were no small groups or team leaders. As long as they arrived, everyone would be free to do anything they wanted, except for the final mission of destroying The Dark Tower.
Of course, if you want to work together with someone, you can.
When Xia Pingan and Yan duo arrived at the small restaurant in the base, more than half of the 54 people had already arrived.
The dining hall was filled with a soothing atmosphere. There were some drinks and cold dishes on the tables in the dining hall. Other than Xia Pingan and the others who were on the mission this time, no one else from the base was present. The atmosphere in the dining hall was relatively more free, but there was also some uneasiness and agitation.
Everyone gathered in groups of twos and threes and chatted.
haha, third brother, you’re here too! seeing that Wu zhanfeng had arrived, Yan duo raised his voice and winked at Xia Pingan before walking over to Wu zhanfeng.
Originally, Wu zhanfeng’s back was facing them and he was picking up his food at the table. Hearing Yan duo’s voice, Xia Pingan saw that Wu zhanfeng’s shoulders had suddenly stiffened.
Xia Pingan smiled and ignored Yan duo and Wu zhanfeng. Instead, he walked over to the group of people at the side.
That group of people was discussing something.
I think we should organize a treasure-hunting team when we get there. If we can find a cave, a secret treasure, or a mine of a secret spiritual crystal left by a high-level Summoner, our strength will be greatly improved. It will help us integrate into that world quickly and obtain the resources we need!
The summoner who said this was called Li Yang. He had a round face and small eyes, and he was very active.
Li Yang, don’t joke around. There are 54 of us, and we’re not even in the single sun realm. When we get there, we should develop ourselves first and live a normal life. It’s best if we don’t attract any attention. If we really gather together to search for treasure, that’s just courting death. It’s best to wait until we adapt to the environment there before planning our next move. With the few of us there now, even if we find something good, it’ll be difficult to hold it. We might even attract a fatal disaster!
Someone in the group had just finished speaking when someone immediately raised a different opinion.
“It’s precisely because we’re weak that we need to be United when we get there!” Li Yang said, unconvinced.
you only see the power of unity, but you don’t see the risks. The 54 of us are 54 Tinders. If we are scattered, we may seem weaker, but we are more flexible and have more opportunities. To put it bluntly, even if a few of us die, the others will still be alive and can continue to search for opportunities to become stronger and continue to search for The Dark Tower. If something happens to us when we gather, the losses will be too great to make up for, no matter what others do. Anyway, when I get there, I’ll definitely act alone!”
I think it’s the best choice to find a family or a sect to join in and use their strength to strengthen our search for The Dark Tower! Someone else said.
“If you join a family or a sect, you might just become cannon fodder!”
After listening to everyone’s conversation, Xia Pingan took a cup of snow plum wine, a specialty of the base, and went to a corner of the restaurant alone. He drank it quietly.
He wondered how Xia Ning and old tu were doing. The situation in Yizhou should have improved.
Before he left, Xia ping ‘an thought of Xia Ning and old tu again.
Xia Pingan shook his head and laughed at himself. He always prided himself on being decisive and never sloppy, but at this time, he was still a little reluctant and had mixed feelings.
The good thing was that the alcohol content was only a little over 10%, and the cold and fragrant snow plum wine could relax people’s minds.
When she was halfway through drinking, a fragrant wind blew beside her. Jiang duo ‘er, who was wearing a purple dress, came to Xia ping’ an’s side with a glass of wine.
“How is it, what’s the deal over there?” Jiang duo ‘er held her wine glass and asked Xia Pingan.
“The situation over there is very complicated. It’s useless to say anything now. When we get there, we’ll adapt to the situation!”
“What, you don’t want to tell me, or are you afraid that I’ll miss you?” Jiang duo ‘er’s eyes flickered and she glanced at Xia ping’ an flirtatiously.
Tonight’s atmosphere was a little special. In just a short while, Xia Pingan saw Yan duo with his arm around Wu zhanfeng’s shoulder. The two of them were already walking towards the other two beautiful female Summoners not far away. Those two female Summoners were called lang Xia and su Qingqing. They were very beautiful.
Ming ruolan still did not show up tonight, but everyone seemed to have gotten used to it.
Xia Pingan retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang duo ‘er. He smiled slightly. you’ve already thought about what you want to do over there. There’s no need to ask me. My choice is actually similar to yours. It’s just a matter of fate. I’ll make my choice when I get there, hehe.
I understand. The power of an individual is indeed too small. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate! Jiang duo ‘er nodded and smiled. She clinked her glass with Xia Pingan’s, took a sip of wine, and then left.
There was indeed no need to say too much when communicating with smart people.
Xia Pingan had just finished a glass of wine and was about to go get some cold food when he realized that the entire dining room was suddenly silent. He turned his head and saw Ming ruolan, who was wearing a long white dress, walking into the dining room like a bright moon. Her whole body was shining with a clear light.
No one had expected Ming ruolan to come tonight, so the dining room fell into a brief silence.
Ming ruolan’s gaze swept across the restaurant before she walked over to Xia Pingan and said something that no one had expected.
when we get there, I need a male companion. It would be best if he could be my husband. Can you be that person? ”
The entire restaurant fell silent. In this situation, a Summoner’s hand trembled in shock, and the glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
To be honest, this was the first time Xia Pingan had seen Ming ruolan talk to someone else.
Moreover, the moment he spoke, it was difficult for people to resist.
Such a beautiful woman had actually come to look for her husband, and she was looking for her.
Xia ping ‘an wanted to confirm whether Ming ruolan was joking with him or not, but when he looked into her beautiful eyes, all he saw was calmness and seriousness. In those eyes, there was not a single hint of ridicule.
