My slow journey to infinity

After staying in a corner of Zhongcheng District for less than an hour, Wang Shui thought he still didn't understand the city.

After passing through the magnificent crystal dome, Wang Shui saw the beautiful world he expected. It was as beautiful as most people's dreams.

Wang Shui almost subconsciously compared the middle city and the inner city, but it was not a comparison of good or bad. He just put the two scenes together.

His thoughts flashed for a moment, Wang Shui thought a lot, but in the end he just sighed.

The world of happiness and beauty is always the same, but the suffering outside the dome is different, but these have nothing to do with him.

Wang Shui also couldn't remember when he started to become indifferent.

As an ordinary person, he would empathize with the suffering, cry for the weak, and want to help people who are worse off than himself.

But now, he has become a transcendent and has mastered many resources. He did not become a profit-seeking fanatic, did not increase the number of killings for power, and did not enjoy the misery of others.

But he no longer had any compassion.

He is like an animal separated from society. The highly social word "selfish" has no weight on him.

It is self, where does selfishness come from?

The changes inside and outside the dome, like heaven and hell, only distracted Wang Shui for a moment.

Even if it only surprised him, the three checkpoints entering the inner city from the central city made Wang Shui's impression even deeper. .

The first checkpoint is for checking luggage and space equipment. The inner city is very strict about smuggling and carrying prohibited items.

The next two stations are to check the customs passers themselves, to check whether the background and resume are clear and clean, and to check whether the body carries dangerous pathogenic substances.

About half of those who came in with Wang Shui and were dressed in "formal" clothes were actually stuck.

The inner city's emphasis on safety is much higher than Wang Shui imagined.

Wang Shui successfully passed the first inspection. To be precise, he was not inspected because his ordinary identity card had the word "Russell" written on it.

In fact, this planet does not belong to the advanced civilization [Elela Empire], and there is no star domain between them.

But the influence of the [Russell Family] does not solely rely on the advanced civilization behind it.

This place belongs to a junior civilization with a parliamentary system called [Miffia]. This civilization is developed and wealthy, but what they are most famous for is their intelligence.

When they are small, they are humble, and when they are small, they are afraid of the strong. When they develop, they serve their big neighbors. They are alert and sociable.

The entire civilization only has two star systems and five active planets, but its wealth, technology, and force are no worse than those of ordinary intermediate civilizations.

It was only because there was no direction for expansion in the nearby star field that this civilization gave up its meaningless external development and concentrated on dancing among the major forces and benefiting from it.

It works well, and Shui Wang's [Russell] identity is particularly useful in low-level social situations.

It wasn't until long after he entered the inner city that Wang Shui could clearly remember that at the first checkpoint, the staff who had looked like a philistine just a second ago, and who had clearly asked for extra customs clearance fees, could immediately change into plain clothes without embarrassment. With a solemn expression, he said to him:

"Welcome to Lonely Forest. Have a good time, Mr. Benjamin."

The other party did not provide Wang Shui with any privileges. He just looked at each other and confirmed that Wang Shui was afraid of trouble.

There was no unnecessary interaction between the two parties, but until he completely entered the inner city, Wang Shui was never checked again, and no one asked him to show his identity information again.

The subsequent public transportation even separated Aqua Regia from the flow of people entering the city, sending him alone and quietly to a high-grade transportation hub.

After that, Wang Shui could no longer feel the attention from around him.

To be honest, Wang Shui had expected that his apparent identity this time might attract some annoying entertainment.

But now, he is really impressed by the city's managers.

The shrewdness of a low-level manager may not mean much, but the subsequent overall planning reflects the city manager's ability to perceive and control the urban structure.

It was late at night, Wang Shui looked at the clean starry sky above his head, felt the natural fragrance around him, and fell in love with this place for a while.

The high-end transportation hub is quite quiet, and there are many new rental vehicles here, ranging from large floating vehicles to simple flying skateboards.

These vehicles can be purchased directly, and even Wang Shui can obtain the city's lowest-end driving authority (digital driver's license) by simply swiping his ID card.

But these vehicles and services are ridiculously expensive.

That kind of mass-produced rubbish flying skateboard, the flying speed under low-end permissions is not as fast as Aqua Regia, but it dares to ask for a price of 15,000!

Wang Shui is considered rich. As a second-level lone wolf awakener, his net worth is terrifying, but he just can't tolerate this kind of unfair treatment.

And the most important thing is that the [Russell Family] took care of his enrollment, but will not reimburse him for the cost of studying.

Wang Shui frowned. Only now did he realize that his "terrible net worth" seemed a bit underappreciated among the upper echelons of the city?

However, Wang Shui will naturally not do anything to pretend to be fat.

He chose to walk away from the transportation hub, found a random street, took free high-speed public transportation, and headed to the college district in the inner city.

The college area is not in the center of the inner city, but it happens to be a bit far from where Wang Shui enters the city.

So even with the help of high-speed public transportation, it still took Wang Shui a full three hours to see the stone monument sign of "Jutus Millennium Academy", but behind the stone monument was a lush forest park.

Surrounding the park gate are some normal modern buildings.

The surrounding streets are not too wide and the buildings are not tall. The dense vegetation nearby makes the place look particularly crowded.

However, this supposedly quiet environment was actually very lively late at night.

There are many people on the street, and most of them are young people. They are chatting, shopping, and enjoying life happily. They are lively but not noisy.

Wang Shui didn't stay any longer, he walked directly into the forest park.

Just as Wang Shui walked past the stone monument, a wave of energy immediately locked onto him and quickly disappeared after an extremely fast data exchange.

Wang Shui clearly sensed the existence of [Mystery Lock] and also sensed the opponent's retreat. The level of [Mystery Lock] here is very high, and there are "people" actively controlling it.

Such a direct detection did not affect Wang Shui's footsteps. A few seconds later, Wang Shui received several "Local Area Network" unilateral data messages——

[Mr. Benjamin, hello, I am the artificial spiritual hub of "Yutus Millennium Academy" - "Yutus". Welcome to the greatest institution of higher learning in this star field. 】

[Your student file has been established. Based on your study record and age, the school board has designated your file as fourth grade. You can choose your own major to study, or you can choose any course below fourth grade for one academic year. When the effective credits within the program reach 80, you can enter a higher grade. 】

[It has been detected that you do not carry a student ID card with you. We have sent a new card to your dormitory. Please use any network facilities to connect to the city network and campus network. After updating the campus digital map, you can see the location of the dormitory. . 】

It doesn't seem to be an ordinary artificial intelligence?

Wang Shui's first focus was a little strange.

From the text-synchronous voice of this intelligent manager named "Artificial Spiritual Pivot Yutus", he felt a very human wording. The human nature here is not a simple matter of honorifics.

However, he just thought along the way and did not want to know more details.

Wang Shui updated the dream network information, but this time, he did not use the biological brain computer built by [Alchemy Array·Computing Core], but used an external computer.

Wang Shui's physical condition is a bit complicated now. His main body is cultivating, and it is quite difficult to control the alchemy clone when he is distracted.

In order to concentrate his thinking and computing power, Wang Shui has suppressed the computing power of the [Biological Brain Computer] to the lowest level, which can only simply receive information and cannot support more functions.

Moreover, work and life should be separated. Wang Shui did not want to log into [Benjamin]'s account in the biological brain, so he needed an external device.

His external computer looks like a rope wristband. It is very light, but has quite powerful computing power.

This thing was not bought by Aqua Regia, but rubbed by his own hands. However, in order to reduce the difficulty of rubbing by hand, Aqua Regia bought a lot of finished materials.

Especially the material for the computing core, if it is rubbed purely by hand, it will require too much Philosopher's Stone, and it is not worth it.

The interface of the external computer had been calibrated a long time ago. Wang Shui selected the synchronization environment network on the virtual screen in the field of view and quickly completed the synchronization of student files.

However, his brief personal file did not even record any information about soul fluctuations.

In this extraordinary world, extraordinary people have all kinds of strange abilities. The cost of impersonating a person lies in this unique soul fluctuation. This is each person's unique identity certificate and an important link in public security management everywhere.

As an outsider and a transfer student, Wang Shui didn't need to leave any identity information...

The Russell family is indeed very respectable!

From this, Wang Shui also determined that the [Mystery Lock] on this campus only verified his identity through appearance. They could not confirm that Wang Shui was Benjamin, so they asked Wang Shui to search for a dormitory through the Internet.

Not the real Benjamin, and without the information in the student file, the door to the dormitory cannot be opened.

Aqua Regia is, of course, the real deal Benjamin.

After updating the digital atlas, Wang Shui realized how big this forest park was, and that the depths of this park, like the Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts, were forbidden to students.

No wonder the few students who passed by Wang Shui looked at Wang Shui. They didn't recognize Wang Shui as a new face, but were surprised that Wang Shui was walking in front of the school gate.

Those students all came in and out on flying skateboards.

According to the tips on the map, there is paid public transportation on campus at the entrance to the campus.

But it was late at night, and even the unmanned vehicles had stopped operating. The school had a curfew, but it was not strictly enforced on the students. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Wang Shui did not turn around and leave the school to rent a flying skateboard or something like that.

He chose to be a little more high-profile.

Wang Shui took out a secret card from his pocket, and then boldly let go of his spatial perception.

To be fair, almost no one in the entire [Millennium Academy] was aware of the spread of aqua regia's perception. Only the equipment that specialized in monitoring space anomalies faithfully raised the alarm.

For a while, Wang Shui didn't know how many people he had woken up, but this time he showed his identity, and his limited limelight would not attract anyone's attention.

Even now as Benjamin, if he were as low-key as the awakener Aqua Regia, he would actually attract some attention.

Sure enough, Wang Shui sensed hundreds of special spatial feedbacks, but no one came to the door, and they didn't even send a digital text message.

After determining the distance and landing point through perception, Wang Shui arrived at the door of the student dormitory building in an instant.

Different from the dormitory building in Wang Shui's general impression, this is an old four-story building covering a large area. The beige walls are obscured by the surrounding dense vegetation.

This makes the entire building look flat.

Wang Shui put away the secret card and walked towards the dormitory building. In fact, his spatial ability did not rely on the power of the secret card. He was just using the [space cipher text] on the secret card to cover up the fact that he had not registered the cipher text.

[Space Secret Text] can protect and strengthen the caster, and can also reversely determine the caster's information and location.

All space items, whether they are storage cards or secret cards that can be moved through space, have cipher text information.

The [space secret text] on the secret card comes from its maker or publisher.

Even Wang Shui's current boss [Dream System] has clear coded information, and it cannot use space capabilities to transfer awakened people casually.

However, space spell casters are not so aggrieved. In fact, there are still many incidents of using space capabilities to commit crimes.

If you want to read the ciphertext information, you need special space radar equipment for real-time monitoring. Space information is fleeting and will not stay.

These are considered common sense in space knowledge.

Just like Aqua Regia once juggled in [Triad] to cover up traces, he only dared to play like that after knowing that the [Space Stabilization Device] was turned off.

The so-called [space stabilization device] does not just literally keep the space stable.

It is a comprehensive system that integrates stability maintenance, monitoring, and dispatching. The entire city's fixed space transmission network is regulated by it.

The price of this set of things is quite high, but the area of ​​effect is also quite large. It even comes with its own data network.

In the [Millennium Academy] where Wang Shui is now, those space monitoring equipment are part of the entire [Dulin City Space Stabilization Device].

After returning to the main world, Wang Shui has been very careful. Every time he uses his space ability, he will use a secret card to cover it.

There was no warning from the academy this time, and Wang Shui could safely use his spatial abilities from now on.

Returning to the student dormitory, which looked shabby but had a solid structure, Wang Shui quickly found his room on the fourth floor.

To be precise, this is a windmill-style single-family house with four bedrooms and one living room.

Wang Shui confirmed that the other students were indeed living in a suite of four, each with their own separate bedroom and separate bathroom, but the large living room in the middle was a common area.

The academy did not find a separate villa for "Benjamin", but they also did not throw "Benjamin" directly into an unfamiliar fourth-grade environment.

A very wise approach, Wang Shui is quite satisfied.
