Luo Nan was certain that the connection between his soul body and fleshly body was still there even though he had moved through the void. It was just that the distortion was severe, weaker than it had ever been. He couldn't estimate the distance at all, and his perception of the details was also a problem.
Luo Nan was a bit flustered when he sensed what was happening over there. He didn't care about anything else, but he was worried that his aunts would come home and see him lying on the bed like a corpse. They would send him directly to the hospital.
Even though Luo Nan had ten thousand hopes of doing an in-depth exploration of the cloud world and ascertaining Snake Tongue's whereabouts early on, reality was right there. He still had to kneel.
With a thought, in the empty center of the Condensation Ring's structure, the new structure formed by the external neuron released a corresponding signal. The Soul Cloak's interference method changed, and in an instant, the world changed.
In the depths of the clouds, the Messy Tail Ape, who had been teased for a long time, was still in a rage. The threat that had troubled it for a long time had suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
The Mushed Tail Ape had a stupefied expression, and it circled around on the spot a few more times before leaving resentfully.
Luo Nan had already returned to the normal world. It was a familiar place. Just like last time, it was still in the tree hole of the Withered Tree Sandbar, a kilometer away from Gear's main building.
Sure enough, there was a clear pattern for entering and exiting the Cloud World. It was set up intentionally. Luo Nan was both shocked and impressed by his mother's design back in the day. Unfortunately, he was unfilial as a son. He had casually thrown out a piece of trash and caused trouble.
At this moment, the connection between the soul and the physical body was much clearer. Luo Nan also knew that it was a false alarm. It wasn't that his aunt and uncle had returned. Instead, it was his wristband vibrating to alert him that someone was contacting him.
However, if Uncle and Aunt called, it would also be a headache.
The wristband was not like the HexaEar. It did not have the ability to listen to calls from a distance of eighty kilometers. Luo Nan knew that he had to go back. He reluctantly circled around the tree hole, flew into the air, and sensed Gear from afar. Only then did he flee into the air.
On the way back, Luo Nan once again set a new record for the speed of his soul body, traveling eighty kilometers in just four minutes. This was equivalent to a speed of 1200 kilometers per hour. It was already infinitely close to the speed of sound.
Actually, it wasn't impossible to reach the speed of sound. It was just that Luo Nan didn't know what sort of state the external neuron would be in when it broke through the sound barrier. It was better to be cautious and experiment when he had free time in the future.
Luo Nan anxiously looked at his wristband when he got home. He conveniently returned his soul to his body. When his body and soul became one, he finally realized what was going on.
External neuron!
Just as he thought about it, he realized that the external neuron had returned to the depths of his brain and transformed into its original form of a long electric line. It circled around and formed the carrier of the Divine Wheel's structure, supporting the iceberg-like soul energy.
Quite the initiative! If the structure of the Condensation Ring came in …
Luo Nan shook his head in a hurry. He gave up on this standard idea that water had gotten into his brain. He got up and stretched his neck to look at the caller ID on his wristband.
He definitely wouldn't be able to pick up the first call. Later on, the person called twice more before stopping. But luckily, it wasn't the uncle and aunt that Luo Nan was most worried about. It was an unexpected acquaintance.
Luo Nan blinked. It was actually Mo Han, Sister Pomegranate, who was ranked 16th in the younger generation of his uncle's family. Filled with doubts, he dialed the number back. The call was quickly picked up. The person on the other side said hello twice, and the surroundings seemed to be very noisy.
"Shi … … Sister Han, I was taking a shower just now, so I took off my bracelet. Is something the matter?" Luo Nan forcefully pushed the dangerous words back into his mouth. He blurted out a lie and assumed an obedient posture.
Mo Han switched the ambient mode, and her voice soon became clear. She was in a good mood. She didn't care whether Luo Nan's reason was true or false. She laughed and said, "I just confirmed it with Peng Seventeen. I'll be there at 7 o 'clock sharp tomorrow night. Little Nanster, prepare to receive me."
"Tomorrow?"
"Isn't it tomorrow?"
F * ck, he forgot that there was still a torment!
Luo Nan opened his mouth, but the words of refusal didn't leave his mouth in the end. Mo Han was a lively and straightforward girl. There were only a few people of the same age in the Mo Family who truly treated Luo Nan as a younger brother. After the incident at Frost River Reality, Mo Han even made a special trip to the hospital to visit him … …
Speaking of which, didn't this sister feel any lingering fear last time at Frost River Reality?
Uh, that's right. Their group of people had been brought back to the police station early on. The impression they left behind was just a group fight. As for the situation in the news report, it was mostly separated by a layer.
In this way, Luo Nan was the one with a shadow in his heart?
Luo Nan ended the call with Mo Han with absurd emotions. He turned his hand and called Mo Peng. The moment the call connected, Luo Nan bluntly asked, "What the hell is with this constantly expanding team?"
Mo Peng was yelling, "Do you think I'm happy? It's clearly a get-together. Isn't Shiliu helping her family by going there? So hurry up and find someone. Find a fierce and handsome guy to bewitch her. Don't ruin our brother's plan! "
"Plan your sister!"
"I don't have a sister. Go find my sister."
Luo Nan thought of Mo Ya, who was about to embark on her return trip. He immediately shivered and said unhappily, "Just how many people are you bringing? Which idiot leaked the information? "
"Uh, I admit it."
"......" Luo Nan was so stupid that he cried. He simply hung up. Luo Nan looked at the time again. His aunt and uncle could come back at any time. It was no longer suitable for his out-of-body state. He could only wait until nightfall to discuss it.
His soul body withdrew, but Luo Nan's mind was still spinning in circles above the clouds. He diligently pondered on how to detect the shape of the sky over there as soon as possible. He wanted to find Snake Tongue's whereabouts, but he didn't have a clue for a time.
After thinking for a long time, he changed his angle. He remembered that there was still a very crucial question.
Where in the world was the region above the clouds?
Boundless, thick clouds that defied common sense. Burning bloody light flowed between the gaps in the clouds. The powerful Mushed Mouth Ape flew here and there …. Each element was extremely distinctive, but when gathered together, it was like a casually drawn demonic face. It was hard to distinguish.
The reason for this was that the elements that formed the demonic face were somewhat contrary to the logic of reality. Luo Nan was even thinking that this wasn't some place on Earth, but a fantasy land ….
Luo Nan put aside his fantasy thoughts for now. He needed to consider the problem from a practical and measurable perspective. He didn't consider the thick clouds for now. He didn't care about the source of the bloody light. He just started with the Mushed Mouth Ape that he had observed for the longest time.
The Mushed Mouth Ape should be a type of Mutant without a doubt. It had gregarious tendencies and powerful strength. According to the knowledge he had learned, high-level Mutants had quite a strong sense of territory. Only a small portion of the Mutants resided in large groups, and the area was relatively fixed.
If Luo Nan was able to investigate its species, there was a high chance that he could determine where on Earth this world was.
Luo Nan gave it a try. He transformed the image of this monster into a mental signal and searched on the Psychic Wave Network, but he didn't find anything. Clearly, relevant information didn't exist in the public information.
He once again had the idea of obtaining classified information. This was a bit more troublesome. Right now, the Xia City branch's secrecy system was being implemented step by step. Anyone who wished to access classified information and utilize related resources needed to apply for access privileges.
The threshold wasn't high aside from a very small portion of special information. However, access records would be left behind for future tracing.
It was said that the secret level of the database was sealed off in passing after the branch exchanged large amounts of information with the military. He Yueyin's work was certainly involved in this. No matter what other people said, she was modifying the behavior of the ability users of Xia City bit by bit.
Luo Nan first subconsciously applied for an intelligent search service, but he suddenly reacted and chose to cancel it.
This was a bit of selfishness. He didn't want to expose too much information regarding the cloud world … … He hadn't even figured out his mother's inheritance, yet he wanted everyone to know about it. What was the point of this?
The more he wanted to protect his food, the more Snake Tongue's existence was a thorn in Luo Nan's heart. He needed to find that female ghost as soon as possible no matter what!
Luo Nan nearly wanted to kill his way to Gear, but he was still rational. He knew that he couldn't cause any new problems before dinner, so he forcefully suppressed the urge.
He needed to adjust his state of mind. He thought for a bit and took advantage of the time he was applying for access privileges to the database to borrow the Mutant Species Encyclopedia (Inner World Edition) and some other video and text materials related to Mutants. He also pulled up the video materials from last year's intermediate training class, supplementing the handouts and notes Papercut had sent him.
He needed to act like an obedient child at home before dinner. Using the precise and nimble Dripping Sword to pass the time was just right.
Luo Nan didn't deny that he had a very special feeling toward the Dripping Sword. Not to mention the Dripping Sword's own effects, the structure of the Condensation Ring had truly made a great contribution.
It drew in the external neuron to form a central structure that transformed interference power, thus forming a soul cloak. It could freely choose the direction of interference on the mental or material plane, freeing Luo Nan from his weak and frail body. Needless to say, Luo Nan would owe this favor when he entered the cloud world.
Once a person developed a sense of intimacy toward a certain skill, they would possess an abundant driving force. At first, Luo Nan just wanted to pass the time, but when he truly began to research, his standards unconsciously rose higher.
Not only did he need to improve upon the core structure of the Condensation Ring, but he also needed to carefully ponder over several auxiliary structures. Speaking of which, he was quite curious. The Condensation Ring had undergone a body rebirth with the external neuron. Could auxiliary structures be added to it? If so, what state would it be and what effects would it have?
With a single thought, Luo Nan simply went into an out-of-body state. With just a slight thought, the Condensation Ring's structure appeared from the nothingness of his consciousness. It was engraved in the void, and the external neuron seemed to possess intelligence. It sprang out at the same time, following the relevant structure to take shape.
Since the process was extremely short, Luo Nan couldn't tell whether or not his consciousness had directly controlled the external neuron to form the Condensation Ring.
Also, he could faintly feel a tiny point in the hollow structure of the Condensation Ring. This was the key structure that opened the door to the cloud world in the atrium of Gear, affected by the cyclotron acceleration.
Whoa! It even has a memory function!
Luo Nan was truly convinced.
The structure at the center of the Condensation Ring was already below the nanometer scale. It was impossible for Luo Nan to study it with his current abilities. His mind rippled a few times, and he returned to practicing with the Dripping Sword.
He first experimented. He assembled the three auxiliary structures, the guidance, the amplification, and the acceleration, in a probing manner. In the structural design of the Dripping Sword:
The amplification structure was a stabilizer. It ensured the continuity and stability of the long-distance effects of soul strength.
The acceleration structure was like the nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system of a modified car. It was responsible for explosive acceleration in a short period of time.
On the other hand, the Guidance Structure was used in micro-operations to increase the sensitivity of operations.
These three structures complemented each other with the basic Condensation Ring. Every time a structure was superimposed, its controllability and explosive power would increase. As for the sharpening and rupturing structures, they belonged to the attack modules. They were mainly used on the condensed water beads. Luo Nan had yet to try them out.
Luo Nan was actually quite worried that the Condensation Ring, after undergoing a body rebirth, would reject the other auxiliary structures. Therefore, he placed them very carefully.
The early stages were pretty good. The new version of the Condensation Ring accepted several auxiliary structures very generously. Though there were differences between the real and the virtual, the control was quite smooth.
Luo Nan was just about to be happy when he saw the Condensation Ring split into lightning. The lightning leaped into the three auxiliary structures. The auxiliary structures didn't even circulate for half a circle before they collapsed one after another. It was hard to support them.
"Huh?" Luo Nan didn't feel defeated when facing this scene. He just felt that it was a bit familiar.
Wasn't this the situation when the external neuron and the Condensation Ring were connected? Luo Nan thought about the tiny structure at the center of the Condensation Ring. Could it be that the new version of the Condensation Ring had the spare power to perform a body rebirth on the other auxiliary structures?
Luo Nan carefully sensed the entire process of the auxiliary structures collapsing. He knew that he couldn't let the external neuron take the blame. In fact, he had learned the auxiliary structures quickly. They weren't polished like the Condensation Ring. The structures were too rough, and they weren't stable enough. The lightning was uniform, and there was air leaking in all directions. There was no value in using them as a reference for reconstruction.
In other words, he needed to meticulously sculpt the auxiliary structures and dress them up beautifully in order to gain the favor of the external neuron.
What the hell!
Ridicule was ridicule, but Luo Nan was still looking forward to it. This precise and exquisite painting style was very much in line with his aesthetic standards. And if he could really do it, wouldn't it be a Dripping Sword structure completely forged from the external neuron?
Metal... Actually, Luo Nan didn't know if the external neuron's peculiar material could be considered metal. But the flexible and tough combination of material molding was perhaps the Sword Pill of novels?
When the time came for him to use it against an enemy, the enemy would think it was a bead of water, but it was actually a solid particle. Its penetrative power and lethality would increase by tenfold or a hundredfold. That would be fun.
Uh, he needed to think about it a bit more. The external neuron was such a precious thing. If he were to toss it out like a hidden weapon and it was taken away by some powerhouse, he would be better off dead.
Luo Nan began a new practice amidst this tangled mood. The five auxiliary structures were far inferior to the Condensation Ring in terms of complexity. But he still needed a lot of painstaking practice in order to reach the level of refinement and precision.
Luo Nan was smarter or luckier than the others. He was the first to create a blue or purple level Condensation Ring. He had a reference template and a standard. Luo Nan attracted the external neuron to undergo a rebirth. It was tantamount to having an indestructible carrier and testing instrument.
Any of the auxiliary structures that lacked precision would not be able to pass the threshold of Luo Nan's subconscious. Even if he managed to fool it, the external neuron would feel that the quality of the harem wasn't good. Electricity would burst forth, and any defective product would immediately disintegrate.
This was another torturous process. Luo Nan had just wanted to kill time before dinner, but he never expected that he would spend the next four or five hours on these auxiliary structures. He had no choice.
When a person's brain became excited and their concentration increased, it was not easy to reverse their direction.
