Chapter 212: Playing Badly in the Doomsday World 13
The little girl went to see her mother. Her mother was obviously a little nervous and excited: "An An, climb up and go to the second floor to take a look."
She was a person who had left her child in the store because there was no one to help take care of it. She trusted the cat store owner more than she feared him.
This might be an opportunity for her daughter, and the woman felt nervous and excited.
When the child heard the person she trusted most say this, she was no longer afraid. After all, she spent a lot of time in the store.
The stairs were not steep, and the five-year-old child climbed very quickly to the top, where there was a corner. The people waiting downstairs could not see what was behind it.
There seemed to be some soundproofing equipment on the second floor, so the little girl's movements could not be heard.
It was not until a long time later that the child's figure appeared in front of everyone with the sound of footsteps.
Her eyes sparkled, and her face was filled with wonder and joy: "So many books! In heaven!"
Everyone:? ? ?
So many books, in the sky?
What does it mean?
"An An." Her mother called her daughter over, gently touched her hair, and asked, "Tell me more about it. What book is it? What else is there on the second floor?"
An An looked confused: "It's just books, lots of books, flying in the sky."
There is nothing else.
Everyone looked at each other, finding it hard to imagine what the scene was like.
The young man was straightforward. He took out a crystal core and stuffed it into the child's pocket. He sighed, "It's all our fault that we adults are not up to the task. If there was someone who could go up, we wouldn't have to trouble this child to give us the answer."
At this time, An An suddenly blurted out: "A book flew into An An's arms!"
Hey!
Now everyone looked at her.
Her mother quickly hugged her daughter in her arms, being quite vigilant. But then she remembered that they were in the store and the owner was there, so no one would dare to mess around. She felt more confident.
"What about...the book?"
An An pointed to his little head: "In here."
As soon as the book was in her arms, it turned into a bunch of glowing little butterflies, fluttering around, flying towards her body, and then disappeared!
Her mother: “…”
"Then there was an extra book in An An's mind." She pointed to her head.
This sounds a bit like a child's fantasy.
But this is Barbara's shop, so it's not surprising that magical things happen.
It was still the most active young man from before, he looked excited: "Could it be a secret manual of martial arts or something like that? Only people with predestined relationships or spiritual roots can go in and see it."
Her mother heard this and asked in a low voice: "An An, what are written in those books? Can you read it?"
An An said naively: "But I can't read."
Everyone: "..."
Barbara: “…” I was careless.
I only remember translating the text into this universal language, but I didn't prevent the illiterate children who had never been to school.
"It's okay. Mom will teach An An how to read."
After seeing this excitement, the people in the store became even more curious about what the "merchandise" on the second floor was.
Could it be that, as everyone speculated, this was a "kung fu" that required a strong physique to learn?
A second floor appeared in "Barbara's Shop". Only those with predestined relationships could go up to the second floor. Rumors quickly spread that the merchandise on the second floor was suspected to be "immortal cultivation techniques".
This time, the speed of the Dongquan base was extremely fast. Soon, a large group of people came to the store, and all of them went to the second floor.
If one wave fails, quickly switch to another one.
Not to mention, with the use of human wave tactics, there are actually people who meet the requirements.
The "lucky" middle-aged man was so excited that his face turned red in front of everyone, and he rushed forward with firm steps.
Not long after, he came down.
His face was still excited, but there was a hint of weirdness mixed in with the excitement.
"What's up there?"
"Can you tell me?"
"Yes, tell us!"
The man hesitated for a moment, thinking that the owner had kept the second floor open, there would always be someone who met the requirements and could go up, and the things upstairs would no longer be a secret.
He then revealed: "It is indeed a secret book, but it is no more than a method of cultivating immortality, a manual and scroll for practicing magic."
"What! Magic?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man looked at the middle step and said, "This step is cast with magic. You need to have affinity with magic elements and mental strength that meets the standard before you can go up."
It's actually magic!
Everyone looked at each other, feeling both surprised and regretful.
Someone asked: "You are originally a superpower, right?"
There's nothing to hide: "Yes, I am an earth-type psychic, and the test results also say that I have the qualifications to become an earth-type magician."
Someone immediately said that they also had superpowers, but they still couldn't get up the stairs.
Someone politely asked the shop owner. As for why he was polite, he referred to the fate of the impolite Phoenix Base.
Barbara said: "Your superpowers are not the same as magic. Having superpowers does not necessarily mean you have magical qualifications."
It’s a very familiar style, it’s the same whether it’s said or not.
The middle-aged man was about to leave, but before he left, he remembered something and turned back to remind them, "Also, let me remind you that the owner is a businessman. If you have the ability to go up to the second floor, it's best to make plans in advance and save up more zombie crystal cores."
? ? ? What's the meaning?
After the middle-aged man finished sharing, he left under the heavy protection of many psychics at the Dongquan base.
When he returned to the base, Dr. Tang and others who had already received the news were already waiting for him.
"Zhong Haimin." Dr. Tang already knew his name. "Please go to the second floor of the store and tell us as much as possible about what you see and what you find."
"Okay." Zhong Haimin and his group originally went there with a mission and purpose.
He recalled the feeling when he stepped onto the stairs: "It was like stepping into a formation. I felt a gust of wind blowing through my body. Afterwards, I saw many khaki light spots in the air, and a few red light spots."
There was no written explanation, but at that moment, he naturally understood: those spots of light were magical elements.
His affinity for earth elements is very high, and the red light spot is the fire element. However, the affinity does not meet the requirements for practicing fire magic.
After that, he went up to the second floor.
"The second floor..." Zhong Haimin recalled that scene, his eyes still filled with amazement and shock, "I don't know how to describe it, it was like another space."
Barbara's shop was not very big originally. Even though it has expanded ten times now, it is no more than one thousand square meters.
But after he entered the second floor, what he saw was a black night sky that seemed to have no end.
The only source of light in the entire night sky was the books floating in the air, glowing faintly.
They are like stars dotted in the night sky.
No wonder the little girl said there were books flying in the sky.
"I tried to walk forward, but found that I couldn't go very far. The air was full of resistance and my legs seemed to be stuck in the mud."
He stared blankly at the book that was glowing in the darkness, not knowing what he should do.
At a certain moment, his thoughts extended infinitely and established a close connection with one of the books.
Everything in sight disappeared, leaving only the book.
It broke away from the night sky and rushed towards it without hesitation.
This should have been a very romantic scene, but because the two sides had established a spiritual connection, Zhong Haimin could slightly sense the emotion of the book, and it seemed very... cheerful?
After having this understanding, Zhong Haimin always felt that the whole scene was like a happy dog running towards its owner.
Some vague idea like "supporting...a family" came into my mind.
The book fell on him and scattered into stars in the sky.
There was an extra book and a scroll in his mind.
The cover of the book reads "Magic Training Manual".
He only remembered that his heart was beating like a drum and he couldn't wait to open it.
When he opened the book Success, the first line of words made him feel calm.
[Please pay 10,000 crystal cores as learning fee. ]
Everyone: "..."
No wonder Zhong Haimin always looks weird.
Dr. Tang couldn't help laughing: "They are doing business, selling things to us, so it's normal for them to charge us."
Someone muttered, "Ten thousand crystal cores, isn't that a bit expensive?"
Really expensive.
If a single survivor does not have the strength behind him, and wants to collect 10,000 zombie crystal cores by himself, he would have to kill 10,000 zombies, which is nothing short of a pipe dream.
With 10,000 crystal cores, you can get 1,000 by opening the capsule.
But for the Dongquan Base, it is nothing.
Dr. Tang pondered: "Then what is this "Magic Training Manual", can it be made public for everyone to study?"
Zhong Haimin moved his mouth but said nothing. It can be open to everyone to learn, but it is useless for people without magical talent to learn it.
Moreover, the truly precious one among these two items is the magic scroll which is also in a sealed state and needs to be unsealed together with the magic training manual by the crystal core.
As the first person on the base who met the requirements, he was not worried.
Sure enough, someone soon asked, "How do we pay for these 10,000 crystal cores? Do we take them to the store?"
Zhong Haimin said: "I don't know either. Prepare the crystal core and put it in front of me to try?"
Not long after, someone came over carrying two large bags and piled them in front of Zhong Haimin.
Zhong Haimin took a breath, focused his attention back on the book in his mind, turned to the first page, and clicked "Confirm Payment".
Everyone saw that a glowing magic circle appeared under his feet, and countless obscure glowing runes surrounded him like living things. A strong wind suddenly blew up, forcing everyone except Zhong Haimin to retreat.
"This is so cool!" Someone exclaimed softly.
Soon, the strong wind stopped.
Zhong Haimin looked excited, and the two large bags of crystal cores under his feet had disappeared.
"I got the 'Magic Training Manual' and the Earth Magic Scroll. It records sixteen elementary and intermediate earth magics. There is also a high-level earth magic 'Earth Warrior'."
