Alien paradise

Chaoyang tried to respond to these wishes, but as soon as he made a move, he felt the cold gaze from the other end - it was an erosion of consciousness, and it was overwhelmingly powerful.

Even if he pulled away faster, the whole process took less than a second, but his consciousness was still quite traumatized. For a few minutes, he felt like he was falling into an ice bank, his body was shaking, and he could hardly think about anything.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of the difference between this place and the original world.

Chaoyang now understands that the beam of light reaching straight into the sky means that the object of prayer has already been determined. Only those weak astigmatisms that stop halfway can give him an opportunity to enter - such as the young man from the Brilliant Castle City Guards. Captain, Stone Bradley.

Shi Dong's appeal was very simple, that is, to save his sister, whether it was money, medicine, or a doctor... Probably because he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, the other party did not choose a specific person to pray for. In other words, As long as someone can help him, he will accept it no matter who it is. It was this attitude that gave Chaoyang the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

This person's living soul is not very powerful, but it is definitely a handful of sweet nectar for him who has been thirsty for a long time.

"Okay, it's time to calculate the income and expenses..." Chaoyang took out a notebook and wrote and drew on his own, "The amount of willpower collected in this contract is about 700... Open the border and it's about 100, and a body The virtual image is almost fifty for half a day, four is two hundred... By the way, there are also the cost of the ship and the preparation required..."

If there is any benefit from the experience of nearly starving to death a while ago, it is that when resources were extremely scarce, Chaoyang clearly felt the process of his own decline, and was forced to learn how to break his strength in half. . This allows him to accurately measure the amount of willpower in his body and mark it with numbers.

For example, after he sets the weight required to maintain life for one hour as one, all other consumption can be calculated based on this basic value.

After subtracting all expenses, the last number left in the notebook was two hundred and twenty-one.

This meant that he still had nine days left to live at full capacity, which was less than he thought.

When he saw this result, most of the joy in Chaoyang's heart suddenly disappeared.

"Are you mistaken? This is a contract involving human life. Why do you need so little feedback?" He couldn't help but muttered. After so much work, he only had nine more days of life. No wonder the devil became extinct!

Generally speaking, the amount of willingness to give back depends on the individual strength of the petitioner and the specific content of the contract. Once the contract is reached, the promise party will also be restricted. If he fails to fulfill it in the end, he will be counterattacked by the contract and lose several times his willingness.

If this was a job, it would be a no-brainer, but it was a pity that he couldn't quit.

There is no other choice but to continue looking for the next contract partner - and it must be fast.

Chaoyang planned to go around the city to try his luck.

…

Brilliant Castle is a coastal city with vast beaches to the south and west, and an industrial area to the east, with thick black smoke rising all day long. Apart from these, Chaoyang didn't know much more than the game participants - after all, he had just arrived here a few days ago. After discovering the life-saving straw of the different world, he immediately planned the park activities, and there was no extra time to understand it. The city itself, let alone the area outside of the Brilliant Castle.

So every time he takes to the streets, he has a new feeling.

The streets here are all paved with blue bricks, and on both sides you can see drainage culverts hidden under the road surface, which shows that the importance of drainage is taken into consideration in urban planning. In some parts of the new city, the streets are also lined with steel tracks for tram trains to pass through.

It can be seen that these passenger vehicles are powered by steam, leaving a long white fog cloud every time they cross the street. But the strange thing is that they do not have huge steam engines, and their stops and starts are quite flexible. They are far from the steam trains in Chaoyang's memory.

However, the main means of transportation on the street are horse-drawn carriages and people.

Whether they are carriages carrying goods or drivers pulling people, they all move among the crowds - there are no traffic rules here, and pedestrians will not receive any special care. Most of the time, the coachman has to use his voice to remind passers-by who are blocking the road that being scratched by the carriage is just a common thing. Everything seems so chaotic, but also full of life.

Judging from the widespread use of steam power, Chaoyang judged that the technological level of Brilliant Castle was probably equivalent to that of the Earth in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, what puzzled him was that he could not find any electricity-related elements in the city. According to the history of the development of the earth, electrical facilities, such as light bulbs and other gadgets, should have appeared sporadically at this stage.

Not only that, Chaoyang has also tried to create some small objects with batteries, but all ended in failure without exception.

Since he didn't have much willpower at hand, he couldn't conduct more experiments, so he could only suppress this doubt in his heart for the time being.

After all, it is dangerous to think of this world as the Earth.

——Chaoyang raised his head and glanced at the light pillars, then quickly looked back.

Even if you look at it for a little longer, it may attract the attention of some beings.

For the source of these wishes, the wish itself is a taboo that cannot be touched by others. Once he senses an out-of-bounds behavior, there is absolutely no way he can deal with it with his current abilities.

This is also the main reason why Chaoyang never forgets to hide his identity.

...Wandering on the street lasted almost three or four hours, but this time he was a little unlucky and failed to meet another petitioner like Shi Dong. Even if there are a few people with the power of will surging on their heads, it is basically not worth mentioning in terms of weight. Without asking further, he could probably guess what those wishes were. For example, if he wants to make a fortune or find a wife, even if he can satisfy this wish, he will still be unable to make ends meet in the end.

"Sir, sir, do you want to buy a newspaper?"

Suddenly a slightly childish voice said.

Chaoyang turned around and found a newsboy looking at him eagerly. He looked underage. He was about 1.34 meters tall, with slender hands and feet, but the newspaper in his arms was thicker than his body.

"Sir, there's the Daily Mail, the Herald, and the Jedi Brothers. Would you like to see them? It's only two cents each."

Newspapers are a good thing, but he doesn't have time to read them.

At least not yet.

When Chaoyang was about to reject the newsboy, he suddenly caught a glimmer of wish in the corner of his eye.

It showed a faint white color, which was almost difficult to detect with the naked eye. If the distance was not close enough, it would be impossible for him to detect the existence of this brilliance.

Not to mention the kind of prayer that points directly to the sky, it is only about the length of a thumb, like a candle swaying in the wind, which will be blown out by the wind if you are not careful.

The light comes from the lower right corner of the newspaper.

To make a wish with something?

Chaoyang's heart moved slightly... The power of wish is not like a fixed indicator, which can be hung above the head of anyone who needs it. It fluctuates with the behavior and state of the petitioner. For example, the beam of wish light is most eye-catching when praying attentively, and when the prayer is less urgent, the beam of light will become dim. Similarly, when a petitioner has a great desire to make a utensil, it is possible that part of the wishing power will be solidified on the object. Those precious phantoms with souls passed down from ancient times are actually not without purpose, but after the producer passes away, these wishes will become sourceless water and dissipate little by little over time. By his time, the only traces of the remaining will can be found in museums.
