Ushering In The Internet Era In The Magical World

[The third-generation T-03 new differential engine has arrived at Kosol Shipyard, officially assembled and put into use. Director Langdon said: The arrival of T-03 will represent a new level of Kosol manufacturing precision... ...]

Yu Shengan bent down to pick up the muddy newspaper, looked at the weird text on it, and with the support of the contract authority, he instinctively translated the text.

"Would you like a newspaper, sir? Avery Auctions will be auctioning off a six-foot-wide sea monster head tonight..."

A newsboy who just arrived at Yu Shengan's waist, with horse freckles all over his face, was carrying an exaggerated cross-body bag, trying hard to sell the newspaper.

"No, thank you!"

Yu Shengan raised his hand, his voice was hoarse, and his accent was exactly the same as that of a newsboy.

"All right."

The newsboy couldn't hide his disappointment, so he could only continue to look for the next target.

Yu Shengan threw away the stained newspaper in his hand, and looked towards the city along the wide pier.

The city has no walls, and at a glance, buildings are rising from the ground. The closer to the city center, the denser the buildings, like a steel forest.

The buildings here are Riviera-style, except for the tin-clad pipes running between the buildings, which spoil the seaside elegance.

In the sky, a white oval airship with a length of at least 300 meters was floating high beside a building.

Below the airship, the pod is huge, like a building on the deck of a ferry.

Although it was still morning at this time, the weather was as gloomy as evening.

Tiny black particles floated in the sky.

Yu Sheng'an reached out to take a black granule, and deep doubts flashed in the depths of his eyes.

There is almost no magic power in the air of this main plane, which means that there is probably no magic in this world, or the power of magic is quite limited.

But the strange thing is that when he landed in this world, he clearly felt that the magic power density in the ocean was not low, even much higher than that of the Aizea continent.

There is nothing in the air, but there is plenty in the sea.

Is the magic power integrated into the water?

What a weird world!

Yu Shengan lowered his brows and eyes, and he had a hunch that most of this was artificially made.

If it is a purely non-magic environment, seawater should not be a special case. The difference between sea water and air looks like some kind of authority restriction.

Yu Shengan turned his head to look at the steam ships docked at the pier, thinking, maybe this is the root cause of these creations.

Thinking, Yu Shengan raised his feet and walked towards the city.

This unknown city looks very prosperous.

On the street, pedestrians are in a hurry.

Just judging from the clothes and disheveled faces stained with large pieces of engine oil, the living standards of the bottom people here may not be high.

Not far away, Yu Sheng'an saw something familiar - a bicycle!

The bicycles here are very practical, with a rough body and a simple structure, very much like Yu Shengan's three-eight-year-old bar when he was a child.

In addition to bicycles, there are also uncovered buses that emit black smoke and steam. Of course, it looks more like a coal truck in a mine.

I don't know if the poor air quality is caused by these creations.

All in all, this city gave Yu Shengan the feeling that it was like a steel factory enlarged dozens of times.

The detailed observations along the way also enabled him to quickly grasp the basic social rules of this world.

He turned into a pawn shop, took out soybeans and flakes of gold, and handed it to a thin middle-aged man with sunken eyes and a monocle sitting behind a barbed wire.

The man pinched the gold flake with tweezers, and took out a metal box that looked like a lighter. With a snap, a flame was fired and it started to burn.

Yu Shengan's pupils shrank slightly.

He smelled a wave of divine power from the flame-making machine. Could this be the truth of the steam in this world?

After fire test,

The man put the gold on a strange-looking physical scale again, and then whispered: "0.71 ounces, the current market price of 1 ounce is 7.1 pounds. According to the market price, your piece of gold is 5 pounds in total. Do you want to mortgage it?"

"want."

"Pounds, or shillings?"

"Everything."

The tall and thin man nodded, opened the drawer, and took out three 1 pound notes, six 5 shillings, and a stack of pennies ranging in value from 1 to 5.

Yu Shengan took the currency, turned around and left without looking at it.

It's not that he doesn't know how to count, but the currency system here is very complicated. Between pennies and shillings, there is a decimal system, and between shillings and pounds, it is also a binary system.

The chaotic exchange rules are really awkward for him.

After leaving the pawn shop, Yu Shengan let out a sigh of relief.

This world is obviously ruled by gods, so in order to avoid abusing others, he can only pretend to be an ordinary person and collect basic information.

After leaving the pawn shop, Yu Shengan went to a clothes store to change out the stolen clothes, and then wandered around the steel city.

When dusk approached, he turned into a hotel again, pretending to be a frustrated young man, poured himself a dejected drink, and refused the harassment of two groups of stray warblers.

Through sorting out a lot of words and phrases, Yu Sheng'an quickly sorted out the ruling gods of this world.

Of course, it may also be limited to the city's ruling deity.

They are called "Siyuan God".

They are:

God of Mechanical Steam, Goddess of Night, God of Space, and Lord of Storms.

Faith here does not exclude opposition.

This can be seen from the four churches in one city.

But most people will only choose to believe in one original god.

Except for the gods, most people talk about work and sea monsters.

Especially the latter, the frequency of occurrence is extremely high.

Probably because of the magical power of sea water, these sea monsters are suspected to be the main threat to humans in this world.

These sea monsters always attack coastal fishing villages, piers, and ships.

However, people's attitude towards sea monsters seems to be a mixture of hate and love.

For example, in the tavern, there will always be someone who is ridiculed for their inability to do so, and then someone will suggest or promote the Sea Monster Whip.

Yu Shengan guessed that the sea monster with magical powers should have a nourishing effect on the folks, and it might be very useful to some practitioners.

It was midnight when Yu Shengan sat down.

Although the time is long, the intelligence collection is still very limited.

After the passenger flow thinned out, Yu Shengan stood up unsteadily and walked out of the tavern.

In the middle of the night in the city, there are far fewer black flocs floating in the air, and there is a strange sweetness in the air.

——It was the smell of burning whale oil street lamps.

The long street is dim, and there are few pedestrians.

When I first left the tavern, I could still see Liu Ying and drunks at the door, and as I walked, the street gradually became empty.

Occasionally, a dazzling spot of light swept across the sky.

—That's the searchlight on the airship.

"Walking north and south on East-West Street, I saw someone biting a dog when I went out. I picked up the dog to break the bricks, but I was afraid that the bricks would bite my hand..."

Yu Sheng'an hummed an out-of-key upside-down song, and stopped suddenly while walking.

At the end of the dark street, a man wearing a cowboy hat, smoking a pipe, and wearing a leather jacket with rivets was leaning on the lamp post, blocking Yu Shengan's way.

"Sir, this song is a bit interesting." The cowboy held a firecracker and put on the brim of his hat, showing his unshaven face.

The swirling smoke obscured his face, making him look very mysterious.

"If you like, I can teach you." Yu Sheng said.

"boom!"

The cowboy suddenly raised his gun and aimed at Yu Sheng'an with a single shot.

In the fluctuation of the divine pattern, a lead ball passed by Yu Shengan's ear, and hit the middle-aged man who rushed behind Yu Shengan.

The cowboy walked towards Yu Sheng'an quickly, and said with a cold face: "Hide away, I will kill this dog, and then I will listen to your singing! Of course, the premise is that I have time."

Before the sound fell, he raised the revolver again, bang bang bang, it was a continuous burst of shots, shooting the middle-aged man who was rushing towards Yu Shengan backwards and downs.

"Roar!"

The middle-aged man who was shot continuously, not only did not die, but roared angrily.

In an instant, his body swelled like a balloon, his clothes were torn, and large black hairs protruded from his skin.

His mouth protruded and stretched forward, his canine teeth protruded, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a monster with a wolf head and a human body!
