Three days later, Huai Shi realized that he had made a huge mistake.
He didn't expect that the off-road vehicle would consume so much fuel!
Once he started the car, the US dollars in his pocket began to flow out like water. He couldn't even stop it!
Just driving from Jakarta to the area near Madura had already cost him more than a thousand US dollars. On the one hand, the road conditions were terrible. On the other hand, Huai Shi had driven in the wrong direction several times.
The road conditions and navigation in this place were a mess. Even though Huai Shi had the Astronomical Association's satellite navigation page, he almost couldn't handle it. In the end, he could only use the off-road vehicle's performance to drive through the wilderness …
Then the car repair cost another six hundred US dollars.
Huai Shi was miserable.
Fortunately, he also practiced his driving skills in the Book of Destiny at night. He specifically found two racers with racing experience and drove wildly. As a result, he managed to improve his skills to an average level and didn't become a road killer. In the end, he realized that he was too pretentious. Not only did he not need money, he even had to pay for the fuel …
If he had known earlier, he would have chosen the bicycle in the office.
At least that didn't consume fuel!
After passing through two villages and asking about the direction to Madura, Huai Shi stopped the car outside the village. After closing the door, he walked into the forest ahead.
It was time to work.
Casually, he picked up a thick branch from a big tree and peeled off the leaves that were in the way. After straightening it, it became a good exploration stick.
The planting of trees and grass in the past two days had at least some effect.
Now, Huai Shi had a better understanding of the various types of vitality networks formed by the existing plants. It was like visiting various communities to conduct a census and understand the community composition.
It was an eye-opener.
Each different type had its own unique advantages and disadvantages. For example, the vitality network formed by the plantation forest was simple in structure, but it had strong stability and was not easily destroyed by external interference. The structure of the naturally formed forest was more complex. Although it was not stable, it could form a stable state not inferior to artificial through the combination of various species.
Other than that, there were pine forests, coniferous forests, mixed forests, and so on. There were even all kinds of grasslands, nurseries, and countless types of shrubs in the wilderness.
There were also more complicated hybrids, as well as a variety of Matryoshka dolls. Among them, some had bright points that Huai Shi had never thought of, while some had major natural defects that made it difficult for them to withstand natural disasters, frost, foreign species, or even human logging …
During this process, Huai Shi didn't use the Mountain Ghost's ability to catalyze or extract vitality to strengthen himself. Instead, he constantly adjusted the balance of life force in his body according to the cases in the real world, further optimizing and leveling the micro-ecological structure in his body.
He felt that his body was like a huge ecological garden, and the more species there were, the better. The premise was … could he establish a stable cycle that could accommodate more species?
In just two days, the Mountain Ghost Sacred Mark had shrunk by half. The network of vitality that radiated from his chest to his whole body had returned to his chest. Thousands of strands extended and converged on his back. The precision and complexity of the network had increased by three times.
He readjusted his priorities and optimized them, striving to achieve a better balance between the three aspects of circularity, inclusiveness, and stability.
It was like playing a management game. While Huai Shi was readjusting himself, he was also tirelessly exploring the adaptability of his various organs to different types of plant life force.
He gave his heart a stronger self-healing ability, gave his lungs and respiratory system a better toughness, tried to make his bones harder, and further improved the flexibility of his tendons.
He connected part of his nervous system to the Sacred Mark, improved the transmission efficiency of electrical signals, and further reduced his reaction time.
Even if the results weren't much, it still opened a new door for him, and he found more possibilities …
Throughout this entire process, Crow remained silent as a bystander.
He didn't comment, quietly appreciating him wasting time on this kind of thing, constantly being frustrated, testing, giving up, and trying new things again.
He even almost caused himself to suffer from osteochondrosis and muscle dissolution.
He didn't stop it, nor did he encourage it.
He just watched silently, hiding the slight astonishment and emotion in his heart.
Should it be said that he was overestimating himself, or was he ambitious? The fool had already begun to explore the aetherization of his organs. This was within the scope of the third level … …
The first level, Mercury, used the mercury, salt, and sulfur in alchemy to transform the body of a sublimator into fertile soil, forming a vessel that could bear the Sacred Mark.
The second level, Gold, gradually transformed the Origin Substance, and the body and soul of a sublimator would gradually transform into the miracles and disasters of the abyss, preparing for the next level of refinement.
The third level, Aether, would truly usher in earth-shaking changes after reaching this level. A person's organs would gradually change in a process called 'aetherization', transforming into a completely new form and even giving them all kinds of new functions, allowing the sublimator to be reborn, completely parting with the inherent limitations of the human body, and truly surpassing the human race.
Huai Shi's current actions could be said to be overestimating himself.
But what was the problem with that?
He could just treat it as a preview of the new semester's classes.
Crow was delighted that after leaving his instructions, Huai Shi was able to spontaneously optimize the structure of the Mountain Ghost and begin the next level of exploration.
This talent could not be said to be not precious.
And this initiative … … on Huai Shi, who was originally muddling along like a salted fish, it was as rare as getting eight SSRs in a row.
This was an excellent sign.
He was no longer passively facing this world, and he had already begun to actively welcome and find changes … …
This trip was really worth it!
She was secretly delighted.
.
After a short period of observation, Huai Shi had already circled the periphery of the dense forest, and the probing stick in his hand, which was cut from a tree branch, constantly poked down.
He probed the nodes and the center of gravity of the vitality network here.
He did not need to use the Mountain Ghost's Sacred Mark to sense. After two days of testing, Huai Shi had already formed a faint blind sense based on his experience.
It was like minesweeping.
He skillfully marked out the key points.
Then he reached out, grabbed a few grass seeds from his pocket, and casually threw them into the dozens of small holes poked by the probing stick. He stepped on them and was done with it.
He had sent a new neighbor to the community and ensured that everyone could get along harmoniously. He had also lent a helping hand at the crucial stage of Bai He's Germination.
He could imagine how Bai He of Germination's Germination had set off a faint ripple in the dense forest network here, and then left a secret mark there for the successors to carry out the next step.
Anyway, regardless of whether he found any traces of Dragon Mistletoe along the way, Huai Shi would casually plant a few pieces and treat it as pure practice.
Furthermore, he had seen many Ascenders like him, shuttling through various parts of Indonesia. Just like in the early stages of real-time strategy games, those farmers who were used to explore and explore the map.
He did not quite believe that the Indonesia Forestry Association was doing this purely to control the Dragon Mistletoe.
Most likely, it was incidental, right?
There must be a more important reason mixed in, but what did this have to do with Huai Shi, an outsider?
If he continued to investigate this matter, there would definitely be trouble waiting for him, and it would also be a waste of time. He was too lazy to think about it carefully.
If he had the time to go to Rome, he might as well go eat a few more bowls of rice.
It was time to eat …
Huai Shi rubbed his empty stomach, thinking about where to find something to eat next. He was not used to the local food, so he could only rely on the fried chicken and cola from fast food restaurants to survive. To be honest, he was a little sick of it.
Should I find a set of tools and start a meal?
Huai Shi thought to himself as he opened the door and got in the car. He was stunned for a moment.
After a moment of silence, he turned on the key and started the car.
Soon, the off-road vehicle was back on the road. It sped forward, running over the puddles and mud on the road as it sped toward Madura.
While driving, Huai Shi raised his hand and yawned. Then, he casually pushed his hand to the side.
A muffled sound exploded in the enclosed car.
Drummer!
The low sound of the wind spread out, followed by the crisp sound of a skull hitting the car window.
In the front passenger seat, a little ghost appeared out of thin air. There was still a stunned expression on its face as it slammed into the car window. Its eyes rolled back, and it fainted.
As early as the moment Huai Shi got in the car, he smelled another smell in the car that did not belong here.
Someone was hiding in the car.
It was just that he could not see it …
Even if he could not feel the premonition of death, Huai Shi's nerves were still tense. After a short disguise, he seized the opportunity when the other party's breathing gradually stabilized and made a move!
Then, he directly knocked out the little ghost who was hiding in the front passenger seat!
Fortunately, the moment Huai Shi made contact, he sensed something was wrong in advance based on the feeling of the hand and the estimation of its weight. Thus, he withdrew most of his strength. Otherwise, this move would have been enough to send the little ghost to the ICU.
Whether or not there was an ICU in this damn place was another matter.
Stepping on the brakes, Huai Shi came to a stop and looked back at the little boy in the front passenger seat. He was about twelve or thirteen years old. His hair was slightly curly. God knew how long it had been since he cut it. It looked messy, but his clothes and body were quite clean. It was obvious that he often bathed.
Huai Shi reached out and skillfully searched the pockets and places where weapons might be hidden.
No weapons.
No stigmata.
And he did not feel any malice toward him.
Huai Shi twisted his neck and revealed a cold smile amidst the cracking sounds.
He sneaked into his car secretly and did not even have a single cent on him … Did he really think that it was a free ride on the Stellaris!
