Night’s Nomenclature

There is an electronic screen at the door where you can select smart mode.

Li Shutong said: "One, switch to sleep mode."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room became dark, with only a few dim yellow light strips on the ground lighting up, and the light was exceptionally soft.

Li Shutong said: "One, switch to white noise sleep mode."

The next moment, the entire floor-to-ceiling glass changed. Qingchen saw raindrops hitting the glass, and a low but clear sound of rain came from inside the house.

With the constant temperature in the room, Qingchen felt like he was on an autumn rainy day, just the right time to sleep under a summer quilt.

"Change to another white noise mode," Li Shutong said.

The floor-to-ceiling glass is no longer transparent, but looks like a huge holographic screen, and the picture changes from a rainy day to a fireplace.

Firewood was burning in the retro fireplace, and a gentle crackling sound came from the room.

Li Shutong looked at Qingchen with a smile: "The Qing family has used neuron connection technology to increase the waking time of humans, but ironically, people in this era need sleep more and more. Wanting to fall asleep has become a luxury for many people. .”

"Master, these are not cheap, are they?" Qingchen asked: "When I came here, I saw that the buildings in District 6 were relatively old and the environmental sanitation was not very good. The decoration in this house is a bit incompatible with the buildings outside."

"Well," Li Shutong nodded: "Although I want to buy you a house, the problem is that I can't buy it for you so much that it attracts attention. District 6 is just the right location. It doesn't belong to the lower three districts, and you can enter it at any time. Upper District Three. It’s quite embarrassing to say that the first house that Master gave you turned out to be so ordinary, so I asked Li Dongze to find someone to decorate it to make it look less shabby."

Qingchen fell silent.

The father in the outer world had just sold his house, and the master in the other world gave him a house as a gift.

Li Shutong said: "Don't worry about being traced about your relationship with Hengshe. Li Dongze knows the importance. The cost of buying a house and decorating it will not be traced to Hengshe or the knight."

"Master," Qingchen asked, "Why do you want to buy me a house suddenly?"

"Oh, you're asking this," Li Shutong thought for a moment and replied, "Hengshe actually controls a group of time walkers. Although I haven't figured out what to do with them yet, we can't let them go around acting like monsters. I asked Li Dongze to help I asked those time walkers to see what the father should do when his son reaches adulthood in the outside world. 89 time walkers said that the father should prepare a house for his son so that he can find a wife... In the other world Most of the young people are renting houses. Although I don’t know why you can only find a wife if you have a house, but it’s not wrong to prepare one for you.”

Qingchen stared blankly at the middle-aged man in front of him.

He originally thought that Master secretly took him back to City 18 to do something earth-shattering, but he didn't expect that the master just wanted to show him around the newly purchased house.

A person like Li Shutong should not be able to do earth-shaking things with just one move.

How can you waste time on such trivial matters?

Qingchen recalled what the master said to him beside the campfire that night before he entered Forbidden Land No. 002: "What others have, my students must also have."

After the other party knew that he had broken with his father, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of being a father.

Once a teacher, always a father.

But when others took control of the time walker, they came up with a plan to eliminate it. After taking control of the time walker, my master asked such a useless question.

I'm afraid those time walkers will be shocked.

Qingchen looked at Li Shutong, who seemed to feel a little guilty because the house he was given was not good enough.

Li Shutong said: "You will live in this house first. You will need to keep a low profile for a long time in the future, so this is more suitable. However, I have also prepared a safe house for you at No. 2013, Qingyang Building, District 1. If you are in danger, you can You can take refuge there, the room password is 010101, your prison sentence number..."

After finishing speaking, Li Shutong put another ID card on the shoe cabinet: "Don't take your new ID card with you yet. Just put it in this room. Both houses are in the name of this ID card." Down."

"Thank you, Master," Qingchen's nose was sore and he didn't know what to say.

Li Shutong smiled and said: "Okay, it's time to become an adult soon, don't be pretentious."

"Yeah, no pretense."

…

…

The master and apprentice were sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window. Li Shutong took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and looked out the window.

Qingchen pointed to a red building and asked: "Master, there is a red cross logo on that building. Is it a hospital? Why is the hospital building so tall?"

"That's not a hospital," Li Shutong shook his head: "It's a birth center."

"Birth center?" Qingchen felt strange: "Is it a maternal and child hospital that specializes in giving birth to children?"

Li Shutong said expressionlessly: "There is an artificial uterus for women. The couple can extract eggs and sperm for artificial insemination. Then the fertility center will select the healthiest follicle from more than ten follicles and put it there." By entering a bionic artificial womb, women can avoid the pain of pregnancy for ten months.”

Qingchen was shocked: "Such technology already exists? Then women don't have to suffer."

"Well," Li Shutong nodded: "A baby can be born after ten months of gestation in an artificial womb, but you may not think that this was invented by the consortium to allow women to have the same labor force and working hours as men."

Li Shutong continued: "This technology has been around for hundreds of years. At first, female compatriots were happy, but more than ten years later, under the control of Chen, the Federal Senate passed a bill to 'modify the length of maternity leave'. Since then, women's maternity leave has been It's only seven days, and all families have to face a new expense from now on. It's a choice, either you quit your job and have your own offspring, or you pay for an artificial womb."

Qingchen was silent. It turned out that this was not a good thing.

This is too magical for a time traveler like him who represents the world.

"By the way, Master," Qingchen asked, "Why didn't you tell me before that there will be new changes in killing people after meeting the conditions for containing puppets?"

Li Shutong raised Qingchen's arm and looked at the student's wrist under the light: "You killed 13 people in the surface world this time, but didn't sacrifice their bodies? After meeting the first stage of containment conditions, you only need to kill an enemy with your own hands. , the second stage form of the string puppet will unlock 1 centimeter, and if the enemy's corpse is sacrificed, 10 centimeters will be unlocked."

Qingchen nodded: "It seems that Master, you knew it a long time ago and didn't tell me on purpose."

"The previous owners of the forbidden ACE-019 string puppet all ended badly in the end. They were either crazy or deranged." Li Shutong looked at Qingchen: "So when the old guys gave this thing to you, I returned it. I was a little angry. But then I thought about it, in case your xinxing will not be affected by it, as a teacher, I should trust you."

"What is the upper limit of the number of people that a puppet can control?" Qingchen asked.

"No one knows its upper limit," Li Shutong replied.

Qingchen was stunned. It turned out that this puppet could really control many people: "But Master, I have been curious about one thing. Although this kind of temptation can make people have the urge to continue to unlock it, it will not make people Go crazy.”

"When you were using it, didn't you feel the thoughts of the person being controlled?" Li Shutong asked: "Especially the madness, fear, remorse, and cowardice when the other person is being controlled, the most intense and gloomy emotions in the world. , will corrode a person’s soul.”

"I didn't feel it," Qingchen was surprised.

Li Shutong was also surprised: "How come there isn't?"

"Master, it really doesn't happen," Qingchen replied seriously.

Li Shutong looked at his student strangely. He always felt that there were too many weird things about him.

First, he escaped Lin Xiaoxiao’s nightmare as a mortal.

And before the gene lock was opened, there were signs of promotion.

Immediately after turning on the gene lock, the initial level was higher than that of all previous knights.

The last weird thing is that now, the description of the string puppet is the experience of a certain senior knight who used it after taking it in.

The senior only used it once and then stored the forbidden object in Forbidden Place No. 002, not wanting it to see the light of day again.

But now, in Qingchen's hands, the string puppet has become a real puppet, without emotions or feedback.

Qingchen asked: "Aren't puppets just puppets? How can puppets have mood swings? Master, are you mistaken?"

Li Shutong sighed: "Don't talk to me in this tone first, let me think about it..."

He knew that when the giant Dingdong walked out of the hinterland, he actually had forbidden objects in his hands. The old guys asked him to take a look at Qingchen and let Dingdong choose which forbidden object to give to Qingchen.

As a result, Dingdong chose to give the puppet in his right hand.

At that time, Li Shutong still felt a little strange. Why were puppets given?

Thinking about it now, Dingdong probably felt that Qingchen would be fine even if he took the puppet after using the double pupils.

But what Li Shutong was thinking about right now was how nice it would be to give Qingchen two taboo objects together...

It's because the old guys have become too small!

We should give more to such talented successors!

"Will all forbidden objects unlock the second stage?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"Not everyone can do it," Li Shutong shook his head: "I have been thinking that this may be determined by the level of the extraordinary person during his lifetime. Only level B and above extraordinary persons can separate forbidden objects, while A-level forbidden objects have a second-level unlocked status. S level may have a third level.”

Forbidden objects are different from extraordinary beings in that they only have three levels.

Qingchen was curious: "Master, have you ever seen an S-level forbidden object?"

"Maybe we'll see you soon," Li Shutong said with a smile.

Qingchen looked at the master and realized that the master might already have an S-class forbidden object in his hand!

"Wait a minute," Qingchen suddenly asked, "Master, I remembered a very, very important thing. After being promoted to a knight, can I still have children?"

"Of course!" Uncle Li agreed, "...but with your character of staying away from strangers, do you still need to consider such a thing?"

"Master, please don't attack me personally," Qingchen raised his eyebrows: "I heard that people who have been injected with genetic medicine are sterilized. Are knights any different from them? Why don't problems occur after knights change their genes?"

"It's not the same path at all," Li Shutong said, dumbfounded: "The way for knights to advance is to make their genes more perfect and closer to gods based on human beings."

"What about the genetic medicine?" Qingchen asked.

"Gene medicine is the research laboratory of those consortiums. I don't know where to extract non-human genes and add them to humans," Li Shutong said: "In a sense, it is not wrong to call them half-orcs. Humans and half-orcs Of course the orcs will have no descendants."

Qingchen suddenly felt that the status of those genetic warriors in the eyes of the master had suddenly dropped a lot...

Li Shutong explained: "Transcendents have always looked down on genetic warriors. Even though their combat effectiveness may not be as good as genetic warriors, this is a natural chain of contempt. Of course, you should not deliberately underestimate some genetic warriors. Many people are just for They have no choice when it comes to finding a way out.”

"Then why did a certain genetic medicine from the Forbidden Inquisition have no effect?" Qingchen asked doubtfully.

"You know a lot, and it seems that you have communicated with time walkers a lot," Li Shutong glanced at him: "The Forbidden Inquisition is special because the genes they extracted are extracted from gods."

This sentence shocked Qingchen: "Are there really gods in this world? Why did the gods allow them to collect genetic samples?"

"Maybe they have a better relationship with the gods," Li Shutong sighed: "I don't know the details. The Forbidden Inquisition has always been very mysterious, and there is very little information recorded about them."

"By the way, Master, I have a question," Qingchen looked at Li Shutong: "Is it possible for a knight to become an awakened person?"

"Of course it's impossible," Li Shutong said: "It's impossible for all practitioners to become awakened."

"Why?"

"Because awakened people release their potential through emotions in extreme environments, and practice is to use inheritance methods to release a person's potential," Li Shutong explained: "Since the potential has been released, it will naturally not Will wake up again."

"Then I still have a question," Qingchen pondered: "For a normal knight, the first promotion corresponds to F level, and the seventh promotion corresponds to S level. So I was initially promoted to E level, is the seventh promotion equivalent? Has it surpassed S-class?"

"No," Li Shutong shook his head: "Promoting from Class B to Class A is a threshold, and promoting Class A to Class S is another threshold. It may seem like the difference is just letters, but for the practitioners themselves, it is the road to heaven. , the meaning is also extraordinary. If you are above S level, you are a real god, and maybe a thought can turn the world upside down. Maybe after you have experienced the complete eight life and death tests, you can hope to transcend that threshold, but before that, you hope Not big, maybe there will be a quantitative change, but there won’t be a qualitative change.”

Speaking of this, Li Shutong suddenly frowned.

According to this theory, Qingchen can reach S level by completing six life and death tests. What will happen when he completes the seventh test?

No one in the Cavaliers organization has ever experienced this kind of thing!

But does this mean that even if Qingchen embarks on the road of knighthood, his potential has not been fully unleashed?
