   Chapter 239 Holy Grail Intermediate

   After Gu He left the Hongyu House, he went back to the Bantian Apartment.

He had previously connected with Elizabeth to Xinwang to change the coordinates of the Rubik's cube, and asked her to find out more about the "Tianzhi Chain". He wanted to know the difference between this thing and the twisted rope, and if he could improve the twisted rope or something .

   At this time, he returned to his room on the third floor of the apartment. He used up 100 pages of the animal encyclopedia of the doll department and put together a golden medium-sized experience data packet to complete the breakthrough of the Holy Grail program.

  【Holy Grail, Program Level: Beginner 99%】

  【Experience Packet Upgrade Program cannot be used】

  【Procedure improvement error: lack of corresponding personal personality data】

   "What!?"

  Gu He sat on the tatami with his back straight, looked at these prompt boxes in amazement, and fiddled with them a few times, but he was sure that it really wouldn't work. To achieve the so-called primary perfection, he had to rely on himself...

   However, he took a mouthful of wolfberry water, "Have I not been enlightened enough for a while?"

   Since the installation of the Holy Grail program, I have tossed a lot in the wilderness and on the streets, and I only tossed it again yesterday.

   He really saw the beauty of a lot of life, had a lot of fiery power of life, a salted fish would turn into a tropical fish.

  Why it still doesn't work, what else is there to do?

   "This program is really a sinkhole."

  Gu He reluctantly thought about it for a while. He probably didn't have much inspiration to stay here. Let's go out for a walk.

  He went downstairs with the thermos cup, and when he passed the convenience store in front of the apartment, he glanced at Mr. Itada, who was dozing off behind the cash register, and didn't plan to talk to him about life.

   Don't ask, he knows what Mr. Itada will say, is that really the case...

  Gu He thought about going to the alley outside, but suddenly became puzzled and didn't see his bicycle parked by the wall of the alley.

   "Uh, Mr. Itada, where is my car?" he asked the dozing old man.

   "It must have been stolen." Mr. Itada said, "When I came back from the bathroom, I saw a few children pushing away."

   "Then you won't stop it? The new car I just bought." Gu He was surprised.

Before returning to Shouhui Street from Renqing Street, he thought about the convenience of access and just went to the bicycle shop to buy it. He chose yellow as a warning color. Red is too ostentatious. Yellow can make passersby and vehicles pay more attention and be safer. .

   It hasn't been a few times since you rode it, and it was stolen?

   "It's a new car to steal." Mr. Itada said calmly, "If it's a broken car, the street rats won't even look at it."

   "...Do you think I can get it back?"

   "Who is in Kabukicho who hasn't been stolen by street mice, who are you, who cares about a new bike? Do you want to be looked down upon by everyone, or do you want to keep those street mice alive?"

  The old man closed his eyes after saying this and stopped talking to him about it, "It's just because of the new car, there's no need to look for it."

Gu He also knew that the old man Bantian was right this time. Everyone on the street helped the street rats more or less in this way, so that it would not be like the voodoo area, and the Red Rain Home was far from being able to. Solve all problems.

   His bike even contributed to the streets...

  Gu He sighed, and could only walk out of the alley with his feet, to the main street outside, where people came and went, and the voices were noisy.

   There are a lot fewer street children on the street, but most of the children who go to Hongyu are very young children, and some of them who are about 11 or 12 years old are not very willing to go, and continue to mix.

   He walked for a while on the sidewalk, and saw Jane in a sackcloth, preaching the concept of low science in spite of the wind and rain.

  Gu He looked at the old bicycle behind her, wanted to rub it against it, and walked over to say hello.

   "Everything in this world is becoming a commodity, even ourselves, when it can't create benefits for those financial groups, it becomes garbage. They want to make the world like this!"

   Jane was shouting to passers-by and saw Gu He walking over.

   "Jane, okay." Gu He smiled, "I think you're right."

"That's right, man." Jane's eyes lit up, she suddenly became excited, and looked around, "what did you see? I saw a dead air, but Shouhui Street is already a very vibrant street in the city. ."

  Gu He also looked around, there were many shops on both sides of the street, and passersby of different colors had different clothes and different busyness.

  Although there are homeless people and call girls here, but compared to the voodoo area, it is definitely a good street in Liuguang City.

"I see a lot of products." Jane added, her freckled face had a sad look, "What are the latest models, collections, limited editions, the bank has designed these traps to stimulate everyone to step in, it is best to put yourself are replaced by commodities.

   "But those are all meaningless dead things, and there is only one impetuous pursuit of dead things."

  Gu He looks at Jane's bicycle, which is old, with a front basket, a little rusted, and re-welded in many places.

   "Yeah, there's not much more meaningful," he said.

   "Not because of things, but because of people, people are less and less able to give meaning to things."

  Jane didn't notice his gaze at all, and said eloquently: "We have been kidnapped by too much technology and information, driven too much by Leviathan, we are walking all day long and have no time to stop.

   "But if we can't stop, the landscape has no meaning, the sky has no meaning, what we have has no meaning, and we ourselves have no meaning.

   "It's just a machine that is constantly receiving information, constantly listening to what the Leviathan has to say, constantly being driven to work and consume.

   "How can this not be dead? Things are dead, and people are dead too."

   The more Gu He listened, the more he listened to it. Jane, your mouth is really powerful sometimes.

   "The truly meaningful things we have are part of our lives."

  Jane continued, "Dude, as time passes, the past life becomes a memory, and memory also becomes a thing, whether this thing has vitality and meaning will determine what kind of life you live.

   "How many people will find that it's all empty? No goods and garbage are left, it's all empty."

   "Uh, that's what you mean..." Gu Hedu was a little beaten by her words.

Seeing that he seems to be able to successfully pull him into the low-class family, Jane's spiritual energy is even higher, "Let go of impetuousness, focus on survival, pursue meaning, love the people around you, and establish real connections with people, not just empty information connections. "

   She smiled, "Did you ever have toys when you were a child, did you share them with your friends to play with? We have them in the low-tech land. Those things are not expensive, but those things are the most precious."

   "So you are saying that we need to share and connect with each other, just like playing together when we were children." Gu He said.

   "Yes, that's a way of giving meaning, living authentically, rather than falling into a trap."

   "That's it." Gu He strode towards Jane's bike, "Share the bike with me, I want to take a stroll."

  Jane narrowed her eyes for a while, a little nervous, and hesitated, "Then, then you, be nice to it..."

"I know, it means a lot to you, you said it. Jane, I think this car can become our shared bicycle. Anyway, you spend a day talking on the street, it's too troublesome to stare at it, let me ride it It's a good ride."

   "You, didn't you buy a new one yourself? I only saw you ride it this morning."

   "It's just a commercial trap, it doesn't feel good to ride, you're better off."

  Gu He rode on this dilapidated bicycle that even street rats didn't want, and staggered away under Jane's attention.

   He walked around the noisy street and headed for the Kitano Butcher Shop.

   On the road, I saw office workers, gang members, beasts, otaku... They were dressed in clothes, some in tattered clothes, some shops were doing promotions, neon signs were shining, and advertising screens were selling all kinds of advertisements.

  Gu He looked at those advertisements, but what Jane said just now came to mind.

   She said it well, the clothes have been changed one after another, and the mobile phone has been changed one after another, but how many can be as unforgettable as a cheap toy in childhood, and will always be a treasure in my heart.

   How many landscapes still have vitality, as Elizabeth said when she was a child, seeing trees sprouting was a miracle, but now there are only hurried footsteps, a screen, some information, and lifeless.

  Everything is connected, and a person's life is not just his body.

  Life never ends with living, eating, drinking.

   And things, and others, and the whole world.

  Gu He had these feelings in his heart, and felt that he could not give by lying down.

   He looked at the old bicycle under him, as if he could feel the meaning given to it by Jane. She has been riding it to and from the low-level land and the streets for a long time. It carries her vitality, and therefore has life.

  Suddenly, his brain nerves quivered, as if something was clear, and it quickly boiled over. It was like the taste of burning life, and the energy of holy water was rising.

   At the same time, several prompt boxes popped up in my mind:

  【Holy Grail Program Upgrade】

  【Holy Grail, Program Level: Intermediate 1%】

  【The Holy Grail opens the intermediate function: activate the strange object】

  【Holy water energy: 50%, ↑25%】

   "Huh!?" Gu He was surprised and delighted, and almost shouted, thank you Jane, the primary level is successful, and it has been upgraded!

   "Jane, Jane, I really want to thank you when I look back. I'm willing to go to the low-level square dance."

   is the relationship between one’s own life and all things, this is the breakthrough, and the direction of the Holy Grail’s continuous ascension…

   And the intermediate function is, activate the strange thing! ?

  Gu He stopped the car and stood on the side of the road, looking at the passers-by, but fortunately no one knew.

  The primary level is nerve therapy, and now even the dead objects can be turned into strange objects in the intermediate level, the Holy Grail secrecy level continues to rise!

   This tiankeng program is really a pit when it is pitted, and it is really strong when it is strong.

  Gu He carefully looked at some of the prompt information, and tasted a little self-taught. Unlike the neurotherapy function, he already knew how to use most of the activated strange objects, but he still needed to sort out some questions.

   "Mom, strange things are very valuable. If I can make strange things and sell them, won't I be rich again?"

   He thought this at first, but immediately knew that there was no drama, he couldn't make it, he really couldn't make it...

   Strange things, this kind of thing can never be mass-produced.

   So the function name is not to manufacture, to create, but to activate.

   This is because the need for an item already has a "strange asset", like an existence that has been nurtured for a long time.

  Gu He once asked Elizabeth as an angel how Jianbao came from in the first place. Now that he thinks about it again, Jianbao is the meaning and vitality given by the goose, and it is activated when he encounters the fist stone.

   "Uh..." He looked around intently to activate the function of the strange object, and seemed to have an inexplicable sense.

  There are countless things around, cars, motorcycles, signs, lanterns, vending machines, trash cans…

   But his eyes finally turned to the old bicycle under him. Looking at it so intently, in his visual system, it actually emitted a bright light, which was a bit dazzling.

  This bike has the property of a rare item and can be activated into a strange item!

   "This is Jane's bike. It's the difference between my lost bike. It has meaning and life."

  Gu He can understand the reason. She lost the bicycle just because she was heartbroken and no money. Like Mr. Itada said, there is no need to look for a new car, but Jane's car is a part of her life.

   He suddenly found something, the thermos cup in the front basket, his thermos cup.

   "Huh?" Gu He picked up the rectangular stainless steel thermos cup, which was also glowing, fading a bit.

  This thermos cup follows him from day to day, and follows him from birth to death. It already carries the meaning and vitality given by him.

  Although not as strong as Jane's bike, it also has the resources of oddities.

The intensity of the    light indicated the level of this aptitude, and he hadn't yet figured out if there was a specific gear.

  Gu He looked around again, and didn't see any other strange things shining brightly, but there was no reason for such a big street. There was nothing meaningful to others, right? Is it really all commodities and garbage?

   No, he thought about it and gradually understood.

   First of all, a thing must have the resources of a strange thing, and you can understand the story and meaning before you can sense and activate it.

"Maybe that store's cash register and brooms also have resources for strange things, but I don't know it, so I can't do it; besides, my Dongtu sportswear is also very meaningful, but there are no resources for strange things, this thing exists. Chances are..."

   The more Gu He thought about it, the more he knew that wholesale was no longer a thought. He could only activate familiar and specific things that had established a relationship.

   And besides the item itself, it also needs holy water energy.

   This time, there is a prompt box to display, you can use 1% or 100% to activate, but how much holy water you put in determines the effect at the moment of activation. The more holy water, the higher the quality and the greater the success rate.

   Having a "success rate" means that it will fail at any time, the holy water will be wasted, and the items may be damaged.

   "Quality" means that even if the activation is successful, it is not necessarily a powerful wonder. It may only be suitable as a foundation or material, and it needs an alchemist to rebuild it, like the wings of Chiba.

   Strange things are also divided into conscious and unconscious.

   Jianbao is a sword, but it has to be said that it is obviously a very high-quality, really rare kind of strange thing.

"To activate a strange thing, first, there must be something with the resources of the strange thing, and I understand and can sense it; the second is to consume holy water, which does not guarantee success and quality, it depends on the energy of holy water and the quality of the thing itself. potential."

  Gu He wanted to understand this. Looking at the stainless steel thermos cup in his hand, he was eager to try.

   If you fill it with 100% holy water and then activate it, the success rate is very high, right? What kind of strange thing is this, can you get a cup treasure?

   And this "Jane's Bicycle", can it become a car treasure?

   By the way, doesn't Lorna want a strange thing, she should have something that has the property of a strange thing.

   That SUV? Or which black leather pants?

   There are also Miss Sakai, and many others... As the strength of the fish pond increases, his safety is guaranteed, in theory; it is also possible that they are stronger and more ruthless, and he is even more insecure...

  Cup treasure, car treasure, off-road vehicle treasure, pants treasure, wine treasure…

   "If it's me who activates it, I'm not a biological mother or a wet nurse, right?

   "If you have so many treasures, how can you fight with me, Jianbao?"

   Gu He's heart beat even stronger, and he couldn't wait.

  However...the holy water was 100% when the program was just installed, but it has not been full since then. Now it has risen to 50% due to a wave of upgrades. Is this enough to activate a cup treasure or pants treasure?

   After the activation is successful, you will decide what kind of strange object it is. There is only one chance, so don’t waste your money on the strange object.

  Gu He swung his bicycle and turned to pedal back towards the fish pond. Let's see what treasures everyone has.

  Holy water, holy water, I need more holy water!
