My slow journey to infinity

"Those guys are not ordinary people."

The broken car was driving south. In the passenger seat was Sylvia, a young wolf girl version of herself, browsing the dream network and communicating with Wang Shui.

“The eyes are indifferent and there is no hostility. They look no different from ordinary awakened people, but their small actions expose them.

The thin guy with armor patched on certain parts of his hunting suit always maintains a loose starting posture. Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but I have seen him and fought against him.

[Hetred·HTT·Blade Hammer Extreme Attack Technique], a set of extraordinary combat skills that are proficient in all weapons. The young man has not yet mastered it, and he is still subconsciously on guard when standing. "

Wang Shui glanced at the co-pilot. He was more concerned about Sylvia's behavior of holding Little Hill and sitting in the co-pilot than the unexpected episode and anecdotes just now.

Although this is nothing to an extraordinary person, Wang Shui always subconsciously feels that this is very dangerous, which makes it difficult for him not to care.

"Those people did have a problem with their momentum, so I ran away as soon as I saw that I had bluffed them. Especially the guy standing at the back had a very low sense of presence, but when I looked at him carefully, I felt a tingling sensation in my spirit. .”

"Except for the big guy, the six younger brothers are not simple. The problem is not that they hide their secrets, but that each of them has completely different fighting skills and their temperaments are also very different."

"What's wrong with being different?" Wang Shui was limited by his knowledge.

"The problem is big, like the Blade Hammer Attack Technique, which is the foundation of the [Hetred Family]. Although there is also a simplified version for sale, it is extremely expensive.

The same goes for several other people. The abilities they vaguely displayed, even in simplified versions, are not affordable by ordinary hunting groups, not even my former hunting group. "

This is an interesting observation, Wang Shui has seen it for a long time.

"So, these are probably aboriginal young men pretending to be awakened people playing role-playing games?"

"Not native to this planet."

Sylvia was a little solemn. She hugged Little Hill tightly in her arms and asked seriously: "Wang Shui, what do you think of this main world?"

Wang Shui smiled immediately:

"If you are so serious, don't tell me that our current main world is actually a game, or a fantasy world, and then there is a real material world outside, and then there are more layers outside. That is too boring. "

"Of course not. This world is the real material world. I want to ask you, what kind of world do you think this world is for us and the system?"

Wang Shui also thought about it seriously:

“In this world, although the indigenous combat power is not bad, the technology tree is relatively simple, and the use of energy seems to be learning...or plagiarizing the system.

I used to think that we were just mercenaries and the system was an arms company exporting war, but now it seems that the system is more like a colonizer. It is steadily projecting power into this planet, and it should be the same for other planets. "

"Your feeling is correct. Some things are no secret after your level is high enough."

Sylvia tidied up her language and tried to speak as simply as possible:

"[The Dream System] comes from a self-sealed planet in the universe next door. The technology and civilization there have developed to the limits of the planet, but they seem unable to explore their own universe.

Later, the civilization there relied on the power of gods that could break boundaries to break through the limitations of the world and established a base of advancement in this world.

However, the [Eternal Cross-border Portal] that they broke through and could not change its position happened to be opened in the middle of several extremely large cosmic civilizations.

Even if they are advanced in technology and extraordinary level, with only one cross-border portal and one planet, it will be difficult for them to quickly replenish their combat power on a large scale. Just holding the portal is already very difficult. "

"Tsk, this is really the real world, and misfortune is so real." Wang Shui complained at the right time.

"You can probably guess what happened next, right? They used technology and extraordinary knowledge to find that lifeless space from the cracks of several civilizations, and completed the space base with difficulty. Then they established a trading company and began to Explore the world from a fairly low profile.

Then, there is the [Dream System]. The people sent by their various large local companies, organizations, and big families are completely insufficient to carry out exploration and development.

Therefore, the large-scale organization that unified their civilization established the [Dream System].

The system can screen and capture high-quality newly dead souls like ours from the distant universe, reshape our bodies, and train us as awakened mercenaries to help them explore the world and make money. "

"You have to continue working even if you die once." Wang Shui sighed with emotion, "As a life awakener, I only need to complete a forced alien mission every half a year.

The battle system is once a month. During this period, you have to do tasks to earn money to strengthen yourself, and you have to be recruited to the battlefield. Tsk, high-quality souls? Excellent chives! "

"Actually, for the combat system, the system has a mature training logic. Even cannon fodder will quickly become stronger with the urging and help of the system and reach their extraordinary limits. The life system is really pitiful. Oh, you are an exception.

The system is very generous to the strong. Except for a few special calls, the life of the strong is still very free and leisurely, and they also have high salaries.

If you keep working in the life department, even if you have talent, the system will not pay attention to you, and you will never get ahead in the life department. "

"Then I really want to thank the boss. Its formula for becoming stronger is not suitable for me."

Wang Shui has no envy at all for becoming stronger quickly. He would rather live a safer life, and enjoyment should come second to safety!

"Having said that, back to those special young people, their fighting skills obviously come from the birthplace of the [Dream System], the planet called [Grey Mist].

They should be the aristocratic children on that planet, and they were projected into this world by the cards of the [Secret Society] to experience the flames of war. Speaking of which, this happens quite often. I have led hunting groups before, and they all paid for themselves. "

"How magical are [Secret Society] cards? In my hometown, a world without extraordinary powers, [Secret Society] is just a card competition game with role-playing elements. I thought the "secret cards" of this world were , is just a medium to seal extraordinary power. "

"In the world of the planet [Grey Mist], this world, and my distant hometown, [Secret Society] is a card game, but in our world, secret cards are also cards with extraordinary power. Extremely powerful force.”

After listening to Sylvia's explanation, many thoughts came to Wang Shui's mind.

The most direct thought is, was he captured by the system because of the [Secret Society]?

He immediately asked Sylvia, and the answer he received was just "I don't know."

Yes, Wang Shui didn't know a lot of things. He didn't even know the situation in the war zone he was in, and he only knew the names of the parties to the war. A month ago, he didn't have the need to understand this information.

There were too many unknowns. Wang Shui wanted to ask Sylvia in detail, but he did not do so because he was here now and he was about to truly see the world.

He naturally doesn't want to be spoiled, and Sylvia may not be able to satisfy his curiosity.

Thousands of thoughts, thousands of words, but what finally came out of Wang Shui's mouth was——

"This world is surprisingly big."

…

…

Along the simple road shaped by the extraordinary, the broken car drove to a larger gathering place.

Rather than a town, it looks more like the ruins of a dilapidated city spread out.

A large river, several heavy-haul railways, and more than a dozen flat roads with good conditions are gathered here. Even if you are not a businessman, you can see the prosperity and business opportunities here.

However, this is not a safe rear area.

This place is further away from the battle line than Tiefeng City, but it is more dangerous than Tiefeng City. It is attacked by various small and medium-sized enterprises every month, and from time to time it is hit by intensive artillery fire from the eastern enemy.

Now all the buildings here are rough piles piled randomly on top of layers of ruins. There is no decoration, no design, and no road planning. However, there are a lot of people here, and there is order in the chaos.

The system has long since given up the defense of this area, but it has not removed the station here.

A large number of extraordinary people were attracted by the benefits. Their spontaneous gathering, spontaneous defense and maintenance of order allowed the city to continue to resurrect and expand its area.

The war has been stalemate for a long time, and this place has slowly evolved into a gray market with strange vitality. Here is——

【Ruina·AM005】（Ruina·AM005）

No force recognizes this place as a city. It is just a magical settlement that collects and distributes a large number of goods and services that cannot be provided by any system.

The Internet calls this place the No. 5 Ruins Market, and the merchants call it paradise!

Wang Shui drove a broken car into an area on the edge of the North City. The locals here used wood, stone and steel structures to surround a large number of semi-enclosed "blocks".

Each block has its own guards, and they patrol carelessly. When they watch Wang Shui drive into the rest area of ​​the commercial station, their eyes flash with strange light.

"I have learned a lot. This is what a battlefield wild city should feel like. The towns along the way are managed too gently by the system."

Wang Shui sensed the complex emotions projected around him and tried to control himself not to be affected.

"This is where we are. If you go further inside, you will see a more interesting but also disgusting world, but the innermost part is paradise. Get used to it, and we will come here often in the future."

Sylvia was very familiar with this place. She asked Wang Shui to park the car at the commercial station boldly, and then took Wang Shui into the outskirts of the crowded but unusually neat ruined market.

As for the Hill sisters, they were placed in a relatively secluded place by Wang Shui. They only had one car, and if they wanted to purchase supplies, they had to unload them first.

Along the way, there were many "Rena" locals who wanted to greet Wang Shui and Sylvia, the kind of common shopping guides, but the shopping guides in this kind of place are definitely not good birds.

For some unfamiliar faces, they will directly stop them, or even stop the outsiders, and force them to help them complete a pleasant shopping, even if they do not have the goods they need.

Today was different. The locals with venomous eyes saw the "silver tags" casually pinned on the two people at a glance. They just watched quietly and watched the two people pass by.

Under Sylvia's leadership, the two of them walked directly through the nearby neighborhoods without going around in circles or taking dead ends.

He was a regular customer, a regular customer whom he could not afford to offend. The locals immediately made a judgment.

Although I was wondering why these two regular customers didn't go through the east door where the car could be entered, dozens of pairs of eyes still left the two of them, and they began to look for new prey - there was never a shortage of meat here.

"Is the fake Battle Master silver medal so powerful in deterrence?"

Wang Shui felt the retreat of the "locals" around him and chatted with Sylvia through the internal network.

"That's because you don't understand the weight of this brand enough. In their eyes, it's real. No liar would dare to wander around here wearing a fake."

"Oh why?"

"Because if you wear it, it means that you accept the challenge at any time. With your current "power", other bronze medals, or combat masters who have not yet obtained the bronze badge, will definitely challenge you, well, Silver medals may also want to beat you up.

Moreover, encounters are also allowed. If you don't agree, they will take action directly. Even the system will not interfere with this kind of challenge between awakened people. "

"Wok! You didn't tell me earlier!"

"You didn't even ask. You just asked me if I had any means of bluffing and blocking trouble. Just tell me whether I blocked it or not!"

"What if someone challenges me?!"

"challenge?"

Sylvia turned her face covered by the iron gray mask to look at Aqua Regia, and said with a smile:

"Then let's teach these rookies a lesson."

After walking leisurely for two kilometers, the two arrived at their destination. This was also a neighborhood, but it was much larger. The surrounding walls were simple and there were not many guards.

This is a large scrap processing plant, but it seems to only process metal materials. Wang Shui saw several gantry cranes at work, and a group of strong men and huge humanoid structures were cutting and breaking down various equipment and vehicles below.

There are many large trucks coming in and out of the wide main entrance, and more scrap machinery is constantly being transported.

Wang Shui came to the main entrance and said to the security guard outside the small guard box: "We have an appointment, A12."

The tall and lanky security guard looked at the two of them listlessly for a moment, but did not become any warmer and more polite because of the battle master's silver badge.

He casually pointed to a factory not far away and muttered very quickly:

"That big shed needs someone to pick it up."

Wang Shui didn't care about this attitude. They followed the instructions and walked to the factory. As expected, there was a "person" wearing neat business clothes waiting for them. However, this "person" had a long and narrow head with red fur. Canine brain.

"Mr. Heishui? I am the consulting sales "Red Dog" on the platform. Come in and take a look at the goods. "

"good."

The other party was very straightforward, and Wang Shui followed directly, taking off his mask at the same time to reveal his casually pinched face.

In doing business, the most important thing is to be honest. Although the name and appearance are fake, at least Wang Shui pretends to be honest.

"These parts on the shelves and display tables are all for sale. Below are the prices and inventory quantities. As for the whole product, the inside part has been refurbished by professional mechanics and is guaranteed to be more than 90% new. Oh yes, over here These are samples of various metal ingots, don’t worry about the inventory, I guarantee you’ll have enough!”

The salesman, Red Dog, roughly explained the situation of the goods in a few words, and then gave Wang Shui room to observe. He stood in a position where he would not interfere or stay away, ready to step forward to answer Wang Shui's questions at any time.

This is professionalism.

Wang Shui was also very professional. He just walked around the factory and touched everything he was interested in with his leather-gloved hands. Then he returned to the door, recalling and ordering:

"Steel ingots, A117, A130, Snowflake D type, one ton each; aluminum alloy, standard 3 and standard 4, one ton each; iron ingots, which need to be synthesized by alchemy, low impurities, two tons;

There are four refurbished heavy-duty frames inside, all equipped with 90% new semi-permanent tires. There are also five heavy-duty [EVd770-95·Dixinglong] made by [Elvi SuperMotion] on the shelf. I want the engine too.

The price tags are added up and converted into dream points, which is 31,790. Brother, I bought so many things from you in one go. Should I pay off the change? "

"No, no, no, you are the brother! You are Brother Heishui! Of course there is a discount for large quantities, but you can't just cut off two thousand. Brother, if you pay with silver coins, I can really afford the price, 30 silver coins , free shipping is available!”

Wang Shui now only has 35,000 dream points and 13 silver coins.

A backpack of precious metals has not yet been sold, but Wang Shui wants to keep it for himself. Processing it into alchemy items and then selling them will definitely make more money than selling raw materials.

"Okay, hurry up and get it for thirty-one. The goods will be delivered to the rest area in the north and installed on the car at C102 of the commercial station. Install the wheels on the four frames and put them behind the trailer. Remember to put the engine in a protective box!

I'll give you the car keys. Park the car outside and wait for me. I'll get you some black steel. "

Wang Shui quickly arranged everything and even threw the car keys directly to Red Dog. He was confident in his loose offer.

"Hey! Okay! I'll place the order right now!"

Professional sales are fast. In less than half a minute, Red Dog prepared the goods list and sealed the information into a card.

Red Dog stuffed the card into a small handheld device and handed it to Wang Shui after a few operations.

Wang Shui sent a trace of his own energy into the device, and after verifying the signature, a system prompt popped up.

[Pay Dream Points to "Liteon Metal Company": 31,000, and the transaction contract is completed! 】

"Okay, okay Brother Heishui, I've received the money and I'll load the goods right away. Is there anything else you need? Or can I introduce you to some local specialties?"

"Okay, if you know I'm leaving, don't talk so much. Help me load it before three o'clock in the afternoon. The car will be driven outside. You will be indispensable."

Sales Red Dog has been sending aqua regia outside the waste treatment plant. This shopping only took about half an hour. Sylvia, who had been following silently, said with emotion:

"You are more suitable for business than studying and fighting."

"Stop it, this kind of one-shot deal is easy to talk about. The more complicated the interests in the transaction, the more shit you have to consider and deal with. It's not like you haven't seen it before in the steel world. We still have so many troubles under our monopoly trend. , Do you have no background to do business in this world? Please spare me..."

"Then you still agreed to my traveling merchant plan?"

Wang Shui said helplessly:

"The Traveling Merchant is a little better. He earns hard money by driving hard, and isn't it because Her Majesty the Queen likes to travel by car~~

Speaking of which, in my hometown, there is a kind of job of driving a large truck for logistics, which is similar to the work of traveling merchants, but they are more separated from business and are more simple delivery. The income is good but it is very hard. "

"Oh, what should we do next? Go back directly?"

"I still have some money, I'm going to buy some seeds."
