Changing Times
"There are definitely no technical problems. There might be slight differences due to different World Rules, but it won't have a major impact. I have experience with that."
Su Luo plans to start with electricity.
Although the era of industry and society driven by electric energy is extremely complex, Su Luo's current knowledge allows him, without any extraordinary abilities, to manually build some Machine Tool for the Information Age in a place with abundant resources, and then snowball that success.
In other words, within a month, Su Luo could go from nothing to something, using his mortal body to elevate the Application Layer to the Early Information Age.
"Yes, yes... I can protect you, at least it'll be easy in this city." Kundina didn't hesitate much.
"Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The problem in this world is definitely not technological backwardness. Technological development is merely a means to try and gain [World Influence], not the main issue."
Su Luo shook her head.
Qi Yuan hasn't even opened the gift package yet. He needs to gather some information before deciding on his course of action.
Just as Qi Yuan returned from his shower, two figures dressed in seemingly unremarkable attire entered through one of the entrances and walked directly toward Su Luo and Kundina.
Su Luo couldn't hold back for a moment when she saw the two blind men walk in.
Both of them had a piece of cloth covering their eyes, and their clothes and appearances looked quite similar.
Su Luo recognized the young man walking in front; he was Ye Zizhen, whom she had seen in a photo when she chatted privately with Qing Yunnan before.
I don't recognize the blind man behind him.
After the two of them walked over, they sat down on the large sofa in the middle without any hesitation. Qi Yuan, who arrived last, really had no place to sit.
He stood beside the sofa, looking left and right, his lips moved, and he looked at Su Luo.
"Sit on his lap," Kundina said, pointing to Su Luo at Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan: "..."
Damn, the people with this detective don't seem like normal people either.
"So many people in the same Dungeon! Career Advancement Qualification encourages cooperation... By the way, what brings you guys here?"
Su Luo could tell that the two weren't strong. Ye Zizhen's Attributes were only just over 8, and the unknown blind Survivor hadn't even retrained; they were just ordinary people in terms of physical fitness.
Ye Zizhen: "The timeline is locked, so I'm here to cling to someone powerful."
Unknown blind man. "I'll hug him too."
Su Luo: "That's quite a coincidence."
Kundina, who only has two legs. "..."
No one paid any attention to Qi Yuan, who still couldn't understand what the three were saying, "..."
Su Luo thought for a moment, then cleared the table in the center where the wine and snacks were placed, making room for them. Then she said to Qi Yuan:
"Since you're the guest, you should sit here."
Qi Yuan didn't react and sat down immediately.
The moment his bottom touched the table, Qi Yuan regretted it. He was sitting in the very center of the table, with four people facing him, mainly two of whom were blind.
Thunder's hospitality is truly admirable.
Tell me, what happened to you?
Su Luo leaned back on the sofa, clasped her hands over her stomach, relaxed, and said nothing, letting Qi Yuan explain himself.
"What happened to me? Mr. Luosu, weren't you the detective who helped me solve the problem? You're asking me?"
Qi Yuan sat in the most prominent position, looking at the four strange people, and his confidence waned.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot something." Su Luo's expression showed no remorse. "You, like us, are a traveler from another era. I think you should introduce yourself and your request so I can help you."
Qi Yuan was speechless for a moment, but still accepted what this aristocratic-looking fellow said.
Based on his words and actions, he is indeed not a local of this era and is alone and helpless. If he had teammates when he Crossing, things would definitely be better.
Secondly, he felt he couldn't beat that blonde woman with the big wavy hair. She looked delicate and weak, but he felt a strange fear, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast.
"These things, well, it's a long story about a child without a mother," Qi Yuan sighed and began to recount. His tone was casual, as if chatting with an old friend, but his eyes were constantly observing the four people's reactions.
"I wasn't originally from this world; I was just an ordinary person from modern society Crossing here. I started my Crossing some time ago."
Su Luo and Kundina exchanged a glance and extracted keywords.
"That world was really tough. The primitive people were like wild beasts. Just because I walked awkwardly, they almost Sacrifice me... I spent some time in a daze, thinking that was how my life would be. But one day I opened my eyes and found myself in a chaotic world."
There were too many flaws in this passage, but Su Luo didn't point them out immediately. Instead, she waited for Qi Yuan to continue.
"It seems to be a feudal society. When I Crossing, I even had a pre-existing identity, but I was just a farmer, and in the end, I didn't achieve anything."
"My third Crossing was to a perfectly normal Martial Dao world, where I acquired some inheritances and trump cards. My fourth Crossing is here... And you? You're also Crossing? Judging from your demeanor, you even know each other. Are there any organizations for Crossing?"
Kundina put down her drink and carefully examined Qi Yuan.
She initially thought these were Su Luo's followers or Survivors from other worlds.
The result is that the Dungeon's native inhabitants possess their own unique and wondrous abilities, which is closely related to the Dungeon's theme.
"First of all, Mr. Qi, how do you solve the language problem in different parts of the world?"
Su Luo had always paid close attention to the fact that Qi Yuan used the language of this era, and it was very authentic. Su Luo herself couldn't speak it so authentically, since many of the words were not heard in the streets.
"Huh? Oh, that's... Every time I Crossing a new world, I automatically learn the language of that world." Qi Yuan didn't seem to care much about it.
"Oh, I see."
Su Luo nodded and continued:
"Have you ever considered that it's not you who are Crossing the world, but rather the world itself that is changing?"
"Change yourself..."
Qi Yuan's expression changed from calm to astonishment, and then from astonishment to deep thought.
Su Luo unilaterally stopped the Survival System from translating Qi Yuan's message and looked at Ye Zizhen and the other two.
"Now it's quite clear that the theme of this Dungeon is [Era]. The era of the entire world will change. Right now it's the Steam Age on the Technology Side, but in the future it might be a strange era like cultivation or mystery."
"And it might gradually become stronger." Ye Zizhen nodded.
If the Essence of the world is the cycle of [eras], then every era will have its own "mainstream power system".
The Steam Age was about the Steam, gunpowder, steel, and the Awakened that ruled everything. The next age may be stronger or weaker, but since it's Dungeon, it's more likely to be stronger.
