Tang Shidao suspected that the various' restrictions' in the void were copied from the Ancient Lands. Or perhaps a fragment from the Ancient Lands would fly to a corner of the void and become a strange place. Thinking back to how Åling had 'created' a full demon land and a demon free land, this possibility was not small.
Seeing a group of almighty beings who were much stronger than him but were very careful in their actions, Tang Shidao felt that the Ancient Lands had more secrets than he imagined.
Entering the underground city.
Seeing that everyone had turned into metallic dragon people, Tang Shidao discovered another strange thing: The weaker the person, the more unrestrained the person, the more stable the person.
In the underground city, there were many people at Luo Lin's level. They were all unrestrained, eating, drinking, and playing without rest. On the contrary, people at Sector Lord level and above were very careful even when they were reading, drinking, and walking, not giving themselves a chance to make a mistake. It felt like they were in a battlefield where bullets were flying everywhere. They were as stable as dogs at any time.
Even more so.
Some Sector Lord's teleportation tools were in a half activated state, ready to move at any time.
At this time.
Entering an ancient palace-like food court, Luo Lin immediately shouted to the female attendants.
"Ladies, we need a bottle of Lake Dragon Jade Essence Wine, a pot of Snow Whale Fat Cake, a pot of Ice Pond Fish Soup, a pot of Bouncing Vermilion Fruit, and a barrel of Spirit Foam Flower Alcohol … Mm, give them all to me. Get him to pay for them, and then give him a bunch of miscellaneous books. Let me calculate, these things should cost about 2 Devil Spring Fruits … En, you can ask him for 3. "
"Thank you for your reward. Brother Luo, you haven't been here in a long time. "The female attendants laughed … Alright, they were all Draconians.
As they spoke, they turned to look at Tang Shidao.
They knew Luo Lin.
However, they did not know this newcomer. Who knew if he would pay.
"Pay first, they will give you the books." Luo Lin indicated. Tang Shidao did not mind. These things were nothing. With a wave of his hand, 3 Devil Spring Fruits were sent out. The group of female attendants immediately thanked him. After a few flashes, he came back in less than five seconds. All the things he had ordered were ready, including the books that Tang Shidao needed.
Luo Lin sat down and did not let the waitress come over to play with him.
I'm currently in my dragonoid form … well, the important part is that I'm in my metallic dragonoid form. What can I do now? Forge metal?
Tang Shidao ignored Luo Lin, who was eating and drinking, and continued to flip through his book.
In fact, Rolin's actions indicated three things: First, the Doomsday Zombies' area was not poor at all. Not to mention ordinary food, even some precious magic ingredients could be taken out. Secondly, it was easy to do anything here with money, and magic materials were very valuable. Third, there was no trust between people here. Even if you wanted to eat, you had to pay first.
Luo Lin wasn't taking advantage of the situation. What he meant was, 'I'll give you pointers in secret and get paid for it'.
This was teaching through action, and the food was tuition.
Tang Shidao flipped through the book.
"Luo Lin, this Wilderness Guide says that you shouldn't go out hunting when the spell's power is only at its basic level, because it's too dangerous. Why did you go out? "
"I'm poor." Luo Lin said seriously.
"That's a very reasonable answer."
He flipped through a few pages.
Tang Shidao asked again: "You can only pay half of the reward when you put up a bounty, and the other half when you find the target, is that normal?"
"If you give them all, they'll run away as soon as they get it. Who would help you?"
"Won't you keep your word?"
"What's a word? Is it delicious?" Luo Lin picked up a piece of Iced Fish White and swallowed it.
Tang Shidao was speechless.
He thought that there was no guarantee in the Ancient Lands. Even the environment was constantly changing, so of course people would only believe what they got, not what they promised. Continuing to flip through the book, he found that a lot of the content was what Luo Lin had said before. Previously, a Magic Spring Fruit in exchange for a sentence, Luo Lin had really made money from reciting books. This time, Luo Lin purposely asked for a book to show his attitude: I'm not talking nonsense, you can verify it yourself.
Seeing Tang Shidao come in, he flipped through the book.
At this time, everyone was keeping a certain distance. It wasn't referring to the distance between them. It was referring to the psychological precaution.
In the Ancient Lands, there were two kinds of people who were the most dangerous.
First, the oldest.
Second, the newest.
If the oldest was still alive, then he was a smart person. As for the newest … hehe, if they weren't monsters from the void, who would dare to come to the Ancient Lands? Luckily, Luo Lin, this kind of 'native', was still alive, which meant that the newcomers weren't that fierce. Moreover, Tang Shidao purposely let Luo Lin scam a sum of money to make people let down their guard. Here, Sector Lord level people were all 'lonely' and didn't fit in.
They didn't trust the people here, and the people here didn't trust them either.
At this time.
When everyone saw Tang Shidao quietly reading, they felt much more at ease.
Under normal circumstances, newcomers were more domineering. Other than wanting this and that, they also had an arrogant attitude, as if they were 'giving you face even when talking to you'. Only after a period of time, where they were taught how to be a person in the Ancient Lands, would they become more mature.
This kind of person who calmly read the book the moment they came in, usually wouldn't cause trouble.
Everyone liked this kind of person.
Next.
For more than two days, Tang Shidao had been reading, collecting information about the Ancient Lands. It had to be said that with money, everything was easy. Some personal adventure logs could be bought or copied. At this time, the effects of 'Dragon or Death' and 'Metal or Death' disappeared, and was replaced by a 'Fire or Death' state.
Unexpectedly.
The effect of the spell's basic power had also changed. It became a restriction of '1 ring and below', and the strongest power couldn't exceed 1 ring.
At this time.
Tang Shidao also understood why the Sector Lords were taught how to be a person.
With a restriction of 1 ring, one's strength and level would be wasted. Everyone would be fighting with 100 million magic power. Under such a restriction, those with talent and skill would definitely have the upper hand. Those without talent, even if they were on the same level as the Eight Emperors, could only be oppressed under such circumstances. What was even more terrifying was that this was only one change. In the Ancient Lands, there were countless of such unimaginable restrictions.
Today, the power restriction changed.
Most of the people in the underground city quickly moved, including Luo Lin and the others.
It had to be said.
Spells with only a basic effect were very dangerous. Those without the Million Spirit Curse could at most throw out a meteor shower. Against a giant zombie with a magic body, it was courting death. Today, the restrictions changed, and the strong had many more tricks up their sleeves. Of course, the poor fire elementalists or fire elementalists were still in a salted fish state. They were still dregs under the effects of 'Fire or Death'.
Not long after.
The first ones to return were the sector lords, followed by the saints.
Luo Lin and the other weak dregs also returned safely.
"1 ring power is still dangerous?" Tang Shidao saw some injured people and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Some zombies have also become stronger. Their magic power wasn't weak to begin with, and when the restriction ended, they recovered their full strength. The good things nearby won't reach us, so we can only run a little farther. It's not strange to be attacked by accident. It's okay, brother Tang. As long as there's magic power, we can heal. Injuries are nothing. The most terrifying thing is the effect of magic exhaustion. We can only run. "Luo Lin brought back a young girl.
According to him, it was love at first sight.
After a round of nauseating, Luo Lin brought her into a compartment and gave her a full body check.
After a deep conversation with the adults, Luo Lin realized that love at first sight was' wrong '. Thus, he corrected his mistake and gave the young girl some benefits. Then, he hurriedly ended the relationship and looked for another girl who he fell in love with at first sight.
"Aren't you afraid that her parents will come looking for you?" Tang Shidao was still flipping through the book.
"Parents? What are parents? Are they delicious? "Luo Lin picked up a piece of golden lard skin and swallowed it.
"You don't have parents?"
"That's funny. Which child here has parents? We're nothing. We're just a pile of living meat thrown on the side of the road, in the forest, or in the trash. If someone adopts us, we'll live. If not, we'll be fed to the dogs. Of course, it depends on who adopts us. If we fall into the hands of some people, we might as well be fed to the dogs. Brother Tang, the Ancient Lands are not only unfriendly to the strong, it's even more unfriendly to the weak. "
"Complaining about fate won't help you in life. The strong conquer nature, not beg for it." Tang Shidao flipped through the book and suddenly thought … Was the snake mage born in the Ancient Lands?
If so, what did it want to change?
The snake mage's mission was hidden in Lifeweave, as well as the efforts of 72 other people. Their ultimate goal … was to change the Ancient Lands?
"Change fate? Easier said than done. "
"Luo Lin, we've met once. I have to remind you of something: Those who admit defeat in their hearts can't wait for victory. If you want to enjoy the fruits of your labor without relying on your own efforts, you're no different from the girl you just pulled into the cubicle. Think about it, if you have an extra piece of bread, would you give it to a poor person who doesn't work, or to a worker who works hard but can't earn enough money to eat? "
"We live in a place like this. What's the point of working hard?" Luo Lin didn't have much education, but he wasn't a fool.
At this time, the conversation between the two attracted the attention of others.
In their minds.
In the Ancient Lands, the strong couldn't even take care of themselves. What was the point of working hard for the weak? A strange natural law could cause hundreds of years of hard work to go up in smoke. In this place, it wasn't easy to live a stable life.
"Have you tried working hard?" Tang Shidao didn't look up, still flipping through the book.
"No one can succeed in working hard here."
"Maybe it's just that you don't know." Tang Shidao closed the book, then flipped to the next one: "Luo Lin, you've studied magic before, so you know the realm of power. I don't dare say that you can become a saint or a Sector Lord, but you can definitely improve if you work hard. Looking at it from another angle, there are 267 people in this ancient hall who are Sector Lords. Do you know what Sector Lords mean? "
"Yes." Luo Lin glanced over, not daring to say anything.
"You all know that Sector Lords are actually Gods. Whether it's because of their bloodline advantage or their cultivation, they stand at a height that you can't imagine. When they look at you, it's like you looking at an ant. If … I say if, one day a Sector Lord wants to help an ant, will he choose one that's working? Or one that's sleeping? "
"This …"
"267 people, that means you have 267 chances. As long as you grab a chance, you can escape from this sea of bitterness and soar into the sky. But … why should they help you? Why should they give a group of ants a chance? These ants don't even work hard. "
"Brother Tang, this …"
"I'm a Sector Lord of ten realms, my rank here is lower. I can't compare to them, but I'm hundreds of billions of times stronger than you. But, I'm reading while you're drinking. "
Luo Lin was completely stunned, even his hand holding the cup stiffened.
The others had the same reaction.
"I don't want to persuade you to change yourself, I just want to say … there's a reason why you're in this position. Maybe it's because you're born weak, or maybe you don't work hard. I believe that fate is unfair to you, but, after fate is unfair to you, you're unfair to yourself. "Tang Shidao finished and didn't say anything else.
At this time, the entire ancient hall was silent.
After a while.
