Chapter 94: Talk About Your Identity...
With a pace that wasn't slow, he glanced at the time and felt it was still early. He decided to take a detour, but the various monsters he encountered on this route made him feel particularly puzzled, as if there were more than usual. As he walked, he twitched his nose and sensed the extra moisture in the air, indicating that there was a water source nearby.
Following the source, Jiǔ Mìng saw a large lake. The water was clear and calm, with only a faint ripple on the surface after a gentle breeze blew by. It was an ideal spot for leisurely fishing. In that instant, Jiǔ Mìng fell in love with this place.
He flipped through the card book, sighed, and felt a little regretful. This time he came out well-prepared, but there was always something overlooked. He didn't bring his fishing rod, otherwise, it would be perfect to sit here and relax for a while.
Fishing rod.
He glanced around, his eyes fixed on a sturdy-looking large tree in the distance. He smiled lightly and walked up to the tree, looked up quickly and found a suitable branch. With a crackling sound, he broke off the branch, processed it for a while, and turned the thigh-thick branch into a normal stick of moderate thickness.
He knocked on it with his hand, listening to the dull thud from above. Jiǔ Mìng nodded in approval, finding it quite sturdy. The silk thread he brought had many uses... As for iron hooks and such, Jiǔ Mìng had already prepared some hidden weapons shaped like needles, which could be used directly after being bent into shape.
After some thought, Jiǔ Mìng decided to gather all the remaining wood pieces together. He planned to prepare a bonfire and roast while eating, wasn't that a bit... reckless?
For the fish in this lake.
Skip the process of finding bait, and directly jumped to eating fish. Looking at the big fish that was strung up and roasted over an open flame, Jiǔ Mìng's gaze returned to the surface of the lake. The fish that had been caught were indeed large, perhaps due to the environment, the fish here grew exceptionally plump. However, after catching just this one, there wasn't another bite for a while.
Hey, are you saying that the fish here are very clever? There's one that was cheated and won't bite the hook again!!
How can one fish be enough to eat? Jiǔ Mìng indicated that he had prepared all the seasonings and was waiting for the fish to come in droves, but now everything is ready, those fish actually plan not to cooperate? How can this be!
Withdrew the fishing rod, Jiū Mìng swiftly and neatly trimmed the tip of the several-meter-long fishing rod into a sharp point, skill was forbidden, so brute force...
Standing by the lake, Jiǔ Mìng closed his eyes, putting his senses to the maximum, cultivating... omnipresent, even for eating!
The wooden rod in his hand was swung out, and in an instant, Jiǔ Mìng swiftly grabbed the tail of the rod, grasped the entire rod and pulled it outward. The fire pit had one more roasted fish sprinkled with seasonings. Until a circle formed around the fire pit and Jiǔ Mìng changed places many times, he finally stopped.
By doing so, the fisherman's nine lives are extended and his perception is magnified, and he discovers something...
"Who?" A few meters long wooden rod was quickly swung out by him, not flying towards the place where he felt uncomfortable, but a bit deviated, at most it could only scare people, if the existence hiding on one side had poor psychological quality, they might even be scared out directly.
The opponent's response was simply to stretch out a slender small hand, gently pinching the wooden rod that made a breaking sound, and the entire rod changed from extreme movement to extreme stillness. This move was already a decisive victory. In general, if one relied on brute force to grab it like this, the residual force on the rod would shatter the entire rod, but now the rod was intact.
It's a woman again!?!
Are all the strong ones in this world female?!
Seeing the white-haired woman with a braid as thick as her waist walking out, Jiǔ Mìng's mind was filled with doubts. Wait a minute... The other person's attire, the half-red and half-blue clothes aside, the constellation pattern printed on them should exist in this era... But that hat, that hat.
Nurse cap! That style even exists in some hospitals in the world of Nine Lives.
Who is she... her own transmigrator companion? Doesn't feel like it.
"Little boy, who are you?"
"...This should be asked by myself first, right? Looking at the bonfire, the roasted fish has started to emit a fragrant smell. Jiǔ Mìng (Nine Lives) glanced at the white-haired woman several times and found that she didn't have much malicious intent for the time being. Now that he could finally eat the roasted fish, he couldn't just be scared away by her, right?"
What if the other party is staring at their own roasted fish?
Around nine o'clock, he took a look around and suddenly found something strange. How to put it, although monsters are quite fond of human flesh, they wouldn't miss other delicious food either. Under normal circumstances, there should be some who would come here to "scavenge" after smelling the scent, and he had already made preparations for (violent) solutions. As a result, he ended up attracting this white-haired nurse with a 'super-era' nurse hat?
How about we don't eat first?
Her first sentence was a question that made Jiǔ Mìng feel very uncomfortable, the feeling in her words was as if she had been staring at him for some time, and if so, then he should have noticed her earlier, perhaps it was intentional on her part...
*Sigh*... He let out a soft sigh, and Jiuming felt a slight headache coming on. Should he go buy some lottery tickets when he gets back? One after another, he kept running into those seemingly world-bug-like existences. Since they were all big shots, why did they have to gather in this kind of place?
Why gather in such a small place? Find a city or town, or at the very least, find a mountain to occupy and be king. His fingers moved slightly, putting away the last sealed card with spatial ability into his sleeve, while another hand of Jiǔ Mìng brought out a small mirror...
Just wait and see what's wrong, try using Geass on myself and go berserk.
"Ah, no need to be so defensive around me." The white-haired girl tossed the wooden staff aside and smiled warmly at Jiu Ming, "Don't worry, I don't have any hostile intentions."
Alright, Nine Lives' Vigilance decreases by 50%...
"No matter how many ideas you have, you can't escape anyway."
Whoa!
Don't talk to me in that tone! This kind of condescending attitude, tsk, is this really okay? Jiǔ Mìng looked around again and found that the surroundings were indeed too quiet. It seemed that during her fishing trip, she must have used some method to seal off this place.
"You have a lot of ideas." The white-haired girl walked forward, staring at Jiǔ Mìng's eyes and slowly said. Jiǔ Mìng also retreated afterwards, until he retreated to the side of that bonfire, "Can we talk properly? For example, your identity..."
"Can't we not talk about it?" Jiumeng Qiang laughed, why bring up the topic of identity? In this world, apart from Yīyún Zǐ and a few people around her, no one else would know his true self, and the possibility of those around her leaking...
Nine lives thought of that big fox at the first time? Eh, it should be impossible.
"What do you think?" The warm smile on the white-haired girl's face remained unchanged.
"Another day?"
"Too wordy."
"I think so too."
Jiǔ Mìng hū le kǒu qì, duì fāng zhí shì zì jǐ de shuāng yǎn néng gěi rén dài lái yā lì méi cuò la, kě shì, zhèng hǎo shì shì……
The left eye of the nine lives suddenly appeared with a pattern of a flying bird, and the moment the bird pattern appeared, it was printed in the eyes of the white-haired girl, the speed was so fast that she didn't even have time to blink.
A certain eye technique?
No, this isn't a negative impact, but rather a kind of benefit for the body?
In an instant of distraction, Jiǔ Mìng, who was standing in front of the bonfire, had already disappeared without a trace, including the fish that had been roasted to perfection...
The white-haired girl slightly moved her hand, the benefits brought by the "Tian Gong" technique earlier were most evident in terms of physical strength, and also made her spirit more lively. The lively spirit seemed to stimulate a part of her subconscious mind, putting her body in a state of 'berserk', similar to an adrenaline rush.
Without suppressing the state that she had fallen into, the white-haired girl still wore an expression as if she had discovered something interesting, carefully observing the various effects brought about by this state. Not only did it stimulate her physical potential, but also partially disabled the brain's protective mechanisms for the flesh.
In this state, people will definitely feel energetic and clear-headed, able to climb 50 floors in one breath without feeling tired. For warriors, this ability... can absolutely provide decisive help, even if used by ordinary people, they can also rise up to a level of 1V5, but this gain is not without side effects.
Ordinary people come to do overloading training occasionally, and the second day is guaranteed to be sore all over, which is more serious than the overdraft brought by overloading training. Short-term maintenance is okay, there won't be too much trouble, but if you dare to do it for a long time, you will absolutely die... Exhausted to death.
To put it bluntly, it's like getting ten shots of stimulant all at once.
After figuring out the benefits and side effects of this gain, she was preparing to use her power to suppress this influence. As soon as this thought emerged, the effect of the Geass given by Nines disappeared.
"Huh? Can it be like this?" The white-haired girl found it strange that the buff state suddenly disappeared. Was the duration over? It didn't seem so, because she had just discovered that the power consumption was almost zero, and it was even maintained by her spiritual power. If she didn't dispel it, it would continue to exist... Keeping herself at the peak state all the time, until her body couldn't hold on and rapidly weakened, then waiting for death obediently.
It must have something to do with the idea.
She thought for a moment, this power would naturally disappear when she wanted to eliminate it, and it was very respectful of the will of the person being subjected to this technique. If you want the power, you can keep it forever, if you don't want it, the power won't stick around like a stubborn sticker, no need to chase or disperse it, it would naturally disappear without affecting its nature.
Always keeping it is almost like burning life, unless some extreme people without the idea of survival would do so, hmm... maybe they should also add a setting that doesn't care about their lives and wants to take revenge?
Apart from that, what she was more concerned about was the weapon revealed in Jiǔ Mìng's hand... Others couldn't tell what it was, but she could see it clearly... How could a mortal possibly possess such a weapon!?
