After arriving at East Capital, He Ao will take the special plane of Research Institute to Private Island in Liu Zhengyun together with the other selected Special Appointed Researcher.
After collecting basic equipment and supplies on that island, go to the passage of Ruins.
Since the oil field where the Ruins channel was discovered is in the middle of the ocean and far away from the coastline of Central Land, the flight this time took a longer time.
It takes nearly nine hours.
After sending He Ao to the boarding gate, Old Zhang smiled and patted He Ao's arm, "You have to come back alive."
He Ao opened his mouth.
The last time he heard this sentence, it was said by Roger. At that time, his identity was Regit.
Hmm...Regit probably didn't survive.
This sentence sounds like a serious flag.
But in the end He Ao didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and walked to Research Institute's special plane wearing his own KFC paper bag.
The flight attendant was not surprised at all by the paper bag on He Ao's head. After asking for He Ao's code name, he enthusiastically and appropriately guided He Ao to his cabin.
The reason why it is described as a cockpit is because this seat is much longer than the ordinary position. It is like a long sofa, where you can sit or lie down. The outer layer of the sofa is surrounded by a metal partition with an oval arc.
It looks quite aesthetic.
He Ao sat in and found a small door next to it that could be closed to isolate the entire space from the outside world.
He opened Hyper-memory, checked it, and after making sure there was no camera inside, took off the KFC paper bag and locked the partition door.
On the left side of the metal partition next to the window is a small LCD TV. Below the LCD TV is a cabinet with several books in it.
When he first came in, the flight attendant had already told him that these books were some information about Ruins.
The PA on the plane began to play safety announcements and reminded passengers to take a break during the nine hours on the plane to recharge their batteries. There may be no rest time after arriving at the destination.
He Ao reached out and took down the books on the small cabinet and flipped through them. The contents were similar to what Zhang Anxia said, and even what Zhang Anxia said was more detailed.
For example, it only mentioned that the number of people who can enter Ruins at a time is limited, and Zhang Anxia told him that the number of people who can enter Ruins is gradually increasing.
It is also very simple to test the number of people who can enter Ruins. Walk to the location of the Ruins channel and there will be as many places as there are people who hear the "call" in their hearts.
According to Zhang Anxia, the sound of this call will become stronger and stronger, and people who hear the call can also vaguely detect when Ruins is turned on.
The entry of Ruins takes place in an instant. You can only wait in advance. If you miss it, you will miss it.
Inside Ruins, it is mainly divided into three areas, namely Ruins city, Underground Palace, and wilderness.
Most of the areas inside Ruins may be Ruins city, but this speculation is based on the premise of Research Institute that every person who enters is randomly teleported.
Because every time people enter Ruins, most of them end up in Ruins city.
Of course, Ruins cities only refer to those old cities that have become Ruins. Different cities have different styles and regions.
Between Ruins cities, there are scattered wilderness areas.
Wilderness is a name relative to the city, and the environment inside is also different. Currently, only Research Institute has been explored, and there are completely different areas such as forests, grasslands, mountains, Snowy Plains, lakes, and deserts.
Underground Palace is in another state. Underground Palace is more like an underground shelter, with no sky visible.
Only the rocks exposed by the cracked metal walls in some areas can be roughly determined that this area is underground.
The terrain structure inside the Underground Palace is very complex, and there are various twisted creatures. It is the most dangerous area among the three areas. No one has yet found a way to leave Underground Palace and rise to the ground.
According to the experience summarized by Research Institute, the Transcendental power concentration in Ruins is much higher than that in Main World, making it easier to awaken and obtain Transcendental power inside.
And some Transcendental players can also get certain opportunities and enter higher levels.
However, the principle of promotion has not yet been clarified. The advice given by Research Institute is not to eat anything in Ruins unless necessary. If there are suspicious items, you can bring them out first and Research Institute will study them first.
Many Sealed Items in Research Institute now were brought out from Ruins by the researchers who entered Ruins.
Special Appointed Researcher can keep the things he brings out, but he must make sure they will not cause pollution. If he wants to sell them, Research Institute has the right of first refusal, and Research Institute will generally give him a suitable market price.
The things brought out by the official researcher from Ruins belong to Research Institute. Research Institute will be responsible for all sealing costs of these items, and then return a certain amount of points to the researcher according to the value of these items.
This kind of points can be used to redeem the right to use certain Sealed Item from Research Institute, or apply to Research Institute for some Sealed Item that can be used for a long time and are suitable for you.
These contents are all mentioned by Old Zhang, and they are also included in the books on the plane.
However, there are also some contents in these books that Old Zhang did not cover.
For example, Transcendental's biological illustration inside Ruins, Old Zhang only mentioned these things, but because it was difficult to describe, he did not expand on them in detail.
The Transcendental Biological Encyclopedia mainly contains some Transcendental creatures that are relatively common in Ruins. He Ao browsed through them briefly and found that some creatures are quite interesting.
For example, a giant lizard named "Tyrant Lizard" is a monster with sharp teeth and a long tongue. The illustrations describe it as very powerful and resilient, but with a low IQ. It can be killed by destroying the brain on its head or blowing off its neck.
It is rated E-rated.
This lizard looks a bit like the one He Ao saw before, Exotic Beast raised by the mayor Dawn City, but it looks much weaker than that Exotic Beast.
In addition to animals, many plants in Ruins also have strange abilities.
For example, a kind of white flowers named "Sleep Flower" often bloom in clusters throughout the area. If you accidentally stray into their sea of flowers, all your emotions will gradually calm down and eventually fall into the sea of flowers, becoming the nourishment of these flowers.
Sleep Flower is also rated as E-rated.
Most of the Transcendental creatures in the illustration are E-level or Rank F, which should be limited by the strength of the people who entered Ruins before.
After all, the people who can bring back the information are all living people. If they meet D-level, or even Exotic Beast or weird plants higher than D-level, they will not be able to bring back the information about those monsters at all.
He Ao After some browsing, there is only one D-level Exotic Beast. It is an "orangutan" who sells items, named "Merchant Gorilla".
It already has a certain amount of intelligence and can communicate with people through gestures. Explorers who meet it can exchange it with the weapons on its body or Transcendent Item obtained from other places.
And it must be of high value and low in exchange value. If you don't exchange it with him, or want an equivalent exchange, it will threaten to kill you.
Of course, if you switch with it, it will leave.
Then he will come back after a while and continue the exchange with you.
The illustrated book notes here that the interval between going and coming back is not necessarily certain, it mainly depends on when the explorer gets the good stuff. Once the explorer finds the good stuff, it will suddenly appear and take advantage of it.
······
Very reasonable, very profiteer.
He Ao Continue to scroll down, and there are some illustrations of Intelligent Robot at the back.
It contains some robots and humanoid robots of different shapes. It can be seen that some humanoid robots once had bionic skins, but they have completely fallen off over time.
These robots will move according to a certain set trajectory. As long as you don't touch them, nothing will happen. However, if you accidentally touch or attack them, you may be attacked by all nearby robots.
Moreover, it seems that these robots cannot leave Ruins, and neither can their chips. Research Institute has tried to take these things out for research several times, but has failed.
He Ao opened Hyper-memory and memorized all these books.
Then he picked up his phone again and looked for magic that suited his current state.
There are several large-scale magic tricks that he is quite interested in, but the prerequisite for realizing Miracle Magic is that he must learn the magic trick himself and be able to perform it completely to deceive the audience.
However, these large-scale magic performances basically require professional magic equipment.
And many magic tricks have not been decrypted. After all, the secrets of magic are what magicians rely on for food, and many magicians are unwilling to reveal them. Moreover, time is tight now, and it is difficult for He Ao to find professional magic equipment.
He began to retreat to the next best thing and began to think about whether he could achieve some "miraculous" effects through some simple and easy-to-perform street magic.
Bang bang bang——
At this time, there was a gentle knock on his partition door.
He Ao thought for a moment, put on his KFC paper bag, and opened the compartment door.
What caught his eye was a short-haired girl with dark skin, a slightly open mouth, Husky Half-Face Mask, and two cute little tiger teeth.
She saw He Ao opening the door and smiled, "Well, my code name is Orator, from East Capital. I'm right opposite you."
She turned sideways and asked He Ao to look behind her.
The layout of this special plane is with cockpits on the left and right, and a narrow corridor in the middle.
He Ao cast his gaze over and could just see the empty cockpit opposite with the door open.
"Well," seeing her identity confirmed, the dark-skinned girl chuckled, "I can't sleep alone."
He Ao took a look at his cockpit, and it didn't look like it could sleep two people. He reached out and buckled the door, preparing to close it.
"No, you misunderstood," Orator waved his hand quickly, "I woke up at nine o'clock this morning, and it's just afternoon now. I can't sleep. Look, we happen to be sitting across from each other. How about we chat?"
?
He Ao has always been an honest child who is not good at words. He could not cope with this kind of scene. He said softly,
"Read a book."
Then he closed the door with a brush and locked it from the inside.
"Hey, hey," Orator obviously didn't expect this scene. She patted the door, "Let's chat for a while. I'm so bored. We can chat in a low voice without disturbing others."
He Ao ignored her and continued to study his magic.
Orator knocked on the door a few times and found that he didn't get a response, so he sighed, as if he was hesitating whether to knock on other people's doors.
But before she could make up her mind, the flight attendant was attracted to her. He Ao heard the flight attendant whispering to her to go back and not disturb others' rest.
And she tried... to let the flight attendant chat with her for half an hour.
