Luo Nan was stupefied for a moment. In this short amount of time, a bead of water the size of a pinky finger had appeared out of nothing. It was born out of thin air and quietly floated before his eyes. With a slight movement, it refracted the sunlight that seeped in through the window. It was a riot of colors; it was extremely beautiful.
A feeling of satisfaction rushed to the top of his mind. Luo Nan grinned, and his mind relaxed. Only then did he feel tired...
Tired?
Oh, that's right. He might still have a lot of soul power left, but the energy and attention that came with it were related to the physical foundation of the nervous system. It was impossible for him to expend it endlessly.
He fell back, arms outstretched, on the bed. A few drops of water fell on his cheeks, forehead, and some on his arms and collar. It was so refreshing that he moaned in comfort …
Eh? Luo Nan suddenly opened his eyes. He could only watch helplessly as a layer of mist floated down, instantly drenching his body and all the objects around him.
Holy shit!
Luo Nan jumped up, but it was already too late. The spray of mist had ended, and the quilt on the bed was damp. It was wet and damp, and it felt terrible. The covers of the two notebooks on the bed were also full of water droplets. Fortunately, they were made of leather, so they could be easily wiped.
As for the quilt, he really had to move it to the balcony to dry.
What was going on? The humidifier is also causing an economic crisis?
Luo Nan wiped away the water stains on his face. His first reaction was to turn off the humidifier, but it looked like the humidifier was operating normally. He could only release his mental senses to observe the air humidity and the changes on the mental plane.
In this way, he discovered some clues.
Currently, the aftermath of the interference between the mental and material planes was extraordinarily intense. The sources were different, and the number was extremely great. However, the amplitude of the fluctuations was relatively similar. It had a clear effect on the water vapor in the air. This gave Luo Nan a rough guess:
Perhaps it was due to the latter half of his practice that the sculpting of the Condensation Ring's structure had become more reliable. Its ability to sustain itself had greatly improved. After accumulating a certain amount of water, it would naturally take on the form of a water droplet.
Because Luo Nan was completely engrossed in pondering the structure of the Condensation Ring, he was engrossed in training with a single heart. His impression of the ring remained at the very beginning. Just like that, the water droplets lasted longer and longer, and the speed at which they disintegrated became slower and slower. In the end, there were at least a few hundred water droplets floating in the room. When he was distracted and lost control of his mind, the structure of the water droplets became chaotic and exploded, turning into a thick mist …
That was about it. Luo Nan shook his head and sighed. He roughly tidied himself up, lifted his blanket, and went to the balcony. Just as he took two steps forward, a glint of water flashed in the corner of his eyes. It was a water droplet that had just formed.
Oh, this of time of of of of of time.
Luo Nan hugged the blanket and stared at the beads of water. He was sure that all the water droplets had exploded, and it was definitely true.
Perhaps it was because Luo Nan's feeling was on point, but the final structure of the Condensation Ring that Luo Nan sculpted was the most perfect in terms of shape. Its precision reached a certain standard. After a period of turbulence, the water that had gathered completely dispersed, but the basic structure of the Condensation Ring did not explode like other rings of the same kind. Instead, it tenaciously preserved itself.
Of. of of. of time of time of of of of of. of. of.
Luo Nan's attention was temporarily focused on this bead of water.
. Not much of the consumption. Strands. Strands. Endless.
Perhaps for other mentally enhanced users, long periods of time would be a bit of pressure. But Luo Nan's soul strength was affected by the high output of the Format Pyramid production line. Every second of progress was several times that of this kind of consumption. It didn't hurt nor itch.
If this was called "consumption", then the whole world was in an economic crisis.
Luo Nan grinned. Since it involved the relevant situation, he instinctively used introspection to look at the state of his God Gear. Just as he cut into the past, his thoughts suddenly froze on the spot.
... Dropped?
It was completely different from what he imagined. The water level of the vast ocean of icebergs, which was already overflowing, had actually dropped by a chunk for some unknown reason. It was even lower than yesterday's normal state. With such an astonishing drop, it was no wonder that he felt a sense of exhaustion.
Luo Nan was a bit stupefied. This didn't make sense. The consumption of the Condensation Ring needed to be multiplied by a thousand to ten thousand times in order to achieve this sort of effect.
Luo Nan subconsciously hugged the quilt to his chest. The slight moisture on it reminded him of something. The room had just been sprinkled with water mist.
He thought about it. A single Condensation Ring obviously didn't consume much. But if several hundred Condensation Rings existed at the same time, then several thousand would be produced in succession, and the process would continue without end. This consumption could no longer be ignored.
It was common knowledge that multiple missions consumed a lot of resources. It was possible for this kind of consumption to exceed the output of the Format Pyramid production line for a period of time.
In other words, Luo Nan's large amount of practice had turned into actual milk pouring as several hundred water droplets exploded. He poured the excess soul strength into the river.
No, there was still a scene of milk pouring. But what was this? Atomization? Evaporation? Sublimation?
Luo Nan laughed bitterly at first, but then he laughed heartily. He even tossed the damp quilt up in celebration.
Even though the input and output were completely disproportionate, and the effect couldn't be said to be a permanent cure, it was still a pleasant surprise to be able to resolve a threat. Luo Nan never imagined that the matter would be resolved so easily when his symptoms relapsed. Moreover, he even obtained a rather effective emergency measure.
The pressure was immediately swept clean. This feeling of being able to advance and retreat freely was too refreshing!
Luo Nan's mood became very good. He cast his gaze toward the water droplet, and it was as if he was looking at a pearl.
There should be a certain upper limit to the water vapor that the Condensation Ring could gather. The growth of the water droplet's volume had already stagnated. In the end, it was only the size of half a pinky finger, with a diameter of approximately one centimeter. It wasn't exactly eye-catching, but it was quite eye-catching when refracting light.
Luo Nan thought for a moment. He wasn't going to disperse the water droplet for now. He wanted to see how long it could last and how its overall consumption was. He would certainly have to try out the five auxiliary structures in a bit. He just happened to use the core Condensation Ring as a base.
Luo Nan hastily hung the quilt on the balcony and went downstairs to eat.
The water droplet spun around his body. It was quite spiritual. The water droplet did not have the support of the Heart Ape Technique. Instead, it was tightly linked with his soul strength. It was like an extension of his limbs. As time passed, the power of habit displayed more and more astonishing effects.
When one was used to something, one would unconsciously ignore it.
Luo Nan temporarily forgot about the water droplet beside him. He fought with the AI butler's anti-human nutritious meal. There was nothing else on this table, but the function of filling one's stomach was complete. Luo Nan didn't stay idle as he ate in large mouthfuls. He originally wanted to flip through the handouts and notes that Papercut had sent over, but after some thought, he continued to flip through the mission posting page.
There was nothing else on Her Majesty Empress Wu's posting interface. However, the discussion area below, the traditional message page, had twenty messages that filled a page. Right now, there were a terrifying number of over eighteen thousand pages.
There were only a few Awakened in the entire world!
Luo Nan remembered Zhang Yingying saying that there were less than seventy thousand registered Awakened in the entire world. This meant that every Awakened had posted at least five times in the discussion area!
Even though this was the accumulation of three years, there were certainly quite a few quarreling and spiteful messages within. But from the perspective of the inner world, this was truly a national event.
The influence of the World Subjugation Event could be seen at a glance.
The messages in the reply area were arranged in reverse order by default. The newest message was at the very top. It was from ten minutes ago, and the content was "A Daily Kneel". Luo Nan traced back an hour. There were two more messages, indicating that the popularity of the discussion did not decrease. They were still in the godly posts.
Luo Nan wanted to understand the atmosphere at the time, so he switched the replies to the proper order. He started from the beginning and skimmed through three to five pages. Most of the messages were "Is this real or fake?", "What a beauty!", "She's my type."
"Beware of soul fingerprint collection traps."
"First time measurement data" and other hipster messages. Of course, there were also "The current Wu Zetian? She must be a hype! "and other idiotic messages that were brutally whipped into corpses.
It was very clear that Her Majesty Empress Wu of three years ago was not a particularly outstanding character in the world. She did not possess global fame. But it was precisely after this incident that she truly soared to the heavens. She added more and more legendary colors to the World Subjugation Event.
Luo Nan more or less admired her. Even though he felt that the Martial Empress Secret Technique was not as marvelous as it was described in practice, the influence was real. And Her Majesty Empress Wu was capable of shouldering this responsibility.
Luo Nan skimmed through a few pages, wanting to change his method. Just thinking about the 360,000 pages was enough to make him collapse. If he really were to read page by page, he would not be able to do anything for the next ten days to half a month.
He used the HexaEar's intelligent filtering function to eliminate the boring messages. He only looked at the essential replies. Just like this, there were still over two hundred pages left.
Many of them were tests of the Dripping Sword. Some were single columns of data. Some were experimental demonstrations. There were also extremely cruel combat scenes. These were the responses of several tens of thousands of ability users from all over the world toward this technique.
However, these dry goods weren't the most popular of the essential posts.
It was the era of national entertainment. There were always some funny and amusing messages that grabbed the most eyeballs. Luo Nan saw a string of hilarious scenes of practicing and using the Dripping Sword. There were all sorts of absurd incidents and all sorts of amusing suicides. The high difficulty of using the Dripping Sword fueled the vitality of these videos.
Luo Nan saw a certain eccentric person use his own mouth to quickly condense water droplets. The result was a tragic explosion. Luo Nan could not refrain from giggling foolishly on the dining table. He watched a string of videos and nearly missed his afternoon class.
When he returned to his bedroom to do his afternoon class, he shot a glance at the balcony. He saw the slightly swaying quilt over there. His mind suddenly stirred and he walked straight over.
Today's weather was cloudy. Sunlight came and went. The effect of drying the quilt was quite average. The color of the quilt was light and there weren't any decorative designs on it. There were faint halos left on it, just enough to form half a fuzzy human silhouette.
Luo Nan used the HexaEar's Visual Camera function to take a picture of the quilt. Of course, he also allowed the water droplets floating in midair to enter the frame. He created the title, "A morning of practice in exchange for rain." He then posted it to the comments section.
This was sharing, right?
Luo Nan himself was unclear about the subtle thoughts of a youth. But his mind was still clear. He used anonymous mode. He only showed the location of his registration, which was the Xia City branch. Of course, he also showed the time of his registration. One look and Luo Nan could tell that he was a noob.
This newest message soon appeared at the very top of the page. Luo Nan refreshed it twice, but there was no response for the time being. He was happy and went to do his afternoon class.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon by the time he combed through the vital energy of the liver, heart, and spleen. Luo Nan was used to single-mindedly concentrating on cultivation. His mind was filled with similar elements. He had nearly forgotten about small matters like uploading photos.
He shifted his attention to the water droplet that still existed. Through his mental senses, he knew that the Condensation Ring at its core was still stable. Perhaps as long as the supply of his soul strength didn't stop, this thing could continue to exist.
The Condensation Ring was undoubtedly a very good carrier. Luo Nan attempted to use it to further grasp the five auxiliary structures of sharpening, amplification, acceleration, and so on.
He was just about to replay the reality recording to learn the relevant knowledge when he suddenly recalled an essential reply he had seen during lunch.
The starting point of the respondent was that he was dissatisfied with his firing speed in combat. He suspected that Her Majesty Empress Wu was cheating. The respondent started from the beginning of the video, analyzing the authenticity of the reality recording frame by frame.
Though he had serious doubts about the authenticity of the recording, the angle was more practical. He used various analysis techniques. He even captured and analyzed the soul strength fluctuations produced by Her Majesty Empress Wu in combat twice. The data was extremely detailed.
This would be an excellent starting point if he wanted to replay it.
This reply was very long. It was enough to start a series of posts. In fact, this was a link to a hot forum post. The number of replies it drew in was quite large.
These replies of replies were distributed in various hot spots in the thread. If the reader was interested, they could see a long string of replies with a light touch of telepathy. Of course, they could also choose to use bullet screen mode, but that was too messy. Luo Nan didn't like it.
Anyone who read the thread would inevitably be affected by the hot spots. Luo Nan paid more attention to the ones with a large number of replies. He originally wanted to lock onto the latter half of the lecture, but he stopped midway.
He saw a hot spot with over ten thousand replies.
What attracted his attention was a scene that left a deep impression on him. It was the moment when Her Majesty Empress Wu suddenly turned her back to the viewer not long after the video started.
The poster complained, "I actually took a step back when I saw a beauty. This isn't logical. That's why I became suspicious..."
The replies instantly went off the mark. "Aha. I'm relieved to see the poster take a step back. I really regret it at the time."
"Step back + 1. Regret + 1."
"Step back + 1. Regret + 10086."
"Am I the only one to throw myself at her?"
"Raise your hand if you throw yourself at her."
"Does throwing yourself at her count?"
"You don't even give me a second glance, do you? The poster has already analyzed it below. Everyone is retreating here. The video has a fixed program buried in it. It's to keep you bunch of perverts at a distance. "
So it was like this! Luo Nan came to a sudden realization when he saw this. So he wasn't the only one who suffered and lost face. This was the common experience of all the participants.
The irresistible elements within made up for the young man's wounded heart.
But then Luo Nan was confused. The pressure that pierced the weak points of his heart and the fear he felt were also the effects of the program?
