Chapter 8 Gradually Growing up and Returning to Taixu
More than a month later, the night has turned into day, but Xilin has yet to see Honkai Will.
Only a true Herrscher can talk to "Honkai" and pray for God's help. This is the power only possessed by Herrschers who carry out the mission entrusted by Honkai's will.
There is a difference between actively seeing and being able to see "Hengkai" and passively seeing "Hengkai".
Siren has not met Honkai until now, which may mean that she has been deemed a "traitor", which may also mean that she is not qualified enough.
Although Xilin did not see "Hengkai" and did not complete the final test of heaven, Lin Chaoyu still led Xilin and Bella back to Taixu Mountain, always letting the two little guys live an isolated life in the Arctic. Life is not like that, and it may not be good for the growth of children.
Bella has been feeling quite uncomfortable for more than a month. It's not that anyone is bullying her. After knowing that she has wisdom, people are quite friendly towards her.
At least treat her as a human being, and people treat her less differently than they treat other people, or even better, because Bella can bring benefits to some people.
Many girls stationed in the Tiangong came after hearing the news. After obtaining the consent of Bella and Siren, they took photos, videos, etc. with them, and then posted them on social platforms or video platforms to earn some traffic and "fans" ” and pocket money.
In general, Bella gets along relatively well with humans. The reason why she feels uncomfortable is entirely because she is very distressed by her large and inconvenient body.
Even after a month, Bella was still not used to the body of a "dragon". Perhaps it was because she had experienced the beauty of a human body before, so it was difficult for her to tolerate the body of a Honkaimon anymore.
Bella is almost crazy about turning into a human form now. She even has the idea of encouraging Siren to go to the dark side of the moon with "Pufferfish" to complete "Side Mission 4".
Fortunately, she still had some sense and was not blinded by desire.
The human body structure has many flaws and is not perfect, but it is precisely because of these flaws that the human body becomes "perfect".
On the road of evolution, human beings have given up perfection either intentionally or unintentionally. Although this will lead to many defects, it has gained more "benefits". Because of this, humans can become the overlord of this planet. Become a "terrible biped" that other creatures fear.
It can be said that there is no known biological body structure that can compare with the human body.
Compared with other creatures, the human body has three major advantages: first, it has "advanced intelligence", second, it is flexible and can make and use tools, and third, it has excellent Honkai energy resistance.
Individual creatures also have these advantages, but they only account for one or two of them at most.
This is why the more advanced artificial armed machines are, the more human-like they are. Some weapons and armor can only be used by humanoid robots, and only humanoid robots can shuttle and explore certain complex terrains.
This is also one of the reasons why many legendary Honkai Beasts are unwilling to change back to their original forms as long as they take the form of humans. Human bodies are indeed superior to their original forms.
Bella's residence was specially built by humans for Honkaimon. The environment and facilities there are very suitable for the huge Honkaimon and allow them to live more comfortably. However, Bella, who is intelligent, still feels that living there is very uncomfortable. .
Ultimately, Bella doesn't like being a Honkaimon.
Looking at things from a human perspective, Bella felt that being a Honkaimon was too miserable.
The first is the problem of food. The food of Honkaimon is simply too scarce. Their food is energy or Honkai energy. To be more specific, it is Honkai fragments or Honkai crystal fragments. Eating this kind of thing is completely useless. fun of.
What's even more sad is that the vast majority of Honkai beasts have no sense of taste, including Bella. Although they eat Honkai energy every day, they don't know what Honkai energy tastes like.
It is said to be eating, but it is more like replenishing energy to ensure that one does not die.
Secondly, because Siren is tired of being around Bella every day, Bella can't let go of her hands and feet most of the time. She needs to be cautious and restrained no matter what she does.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may whip Xilin away, or trample her under your feet or pin her down.
Every time after Xilin was whipped away, she would puff up her little face, fly back angrily, kick Bella a few times, or slap her a few times with her little hands. This kind of punishment was neither painful nor itchy for Bella, and she didn't even feel it. , because Honkaimon's body sensitivity and pain perception are extremely low, so the pain Xilin endured when fighting the "dragon" was far greater than Bella.
Although the punishment is not severe, it will definitely not work if it continues like this. What if she hurts Xilin one day?
Another problem is the language barrier and difficulty in communication with humans.
Bella doesn't like to communicate with her kind, because they are all "retarded" and only know how to obey the orders of the superior Honkaimon, which is particularly boring.
However, Bella's body structure means that she cannot speak human language, and it is difficult for humans to understand what she wants to express, which often causes misunderstandings between the two parties.
In addition, being a Honkaimon has many inconveniences. For example, she cannot play games and can only watch Siren play helplessly;
For another example, it is very difficult for Bella, who doesn't like to study, to take the initiative to learn knowledge or obtain information from the outside world. Because her claws are too big, she cannot use the computer to check relevant information. It is also very troublesome to flip through books, and there is no one to do so. Give her the books she wants because of the language barrier...
Anyway, Bella has had enough of being...
Honkaimon's "life" has come to an end. She is extremely eager to transform, but she doesn't know how to transform.
Over the past month or so, Bella has gained a lot. At the very least, she has some general understanding of this world. She knows that there are many "immortals" in this world who should have died but did not, and she also knows how to let her Tianting, who was in a mixed mood, organized.
Bella guessed that perhaps it was precisely because of the existence of the Heavenly Organization that the collapse plot in her memory was completely different.
Bella's imagination was very big, and she even made a baseless guess that the Taiyi Immortal who established the Heavenly Organization and was admired by Sirin might be a senior time traveler, and it was he who changed the world.
While living in the Heavenly Palace, Bella accepted two very special tasks. One of them was a long-term main task, which asked Bella to learn cultural knowledge.
As Bella learns more knowledge, this task will add more "knowledge points" to her. She doesn't know when she will be able to complete this task, and it may never be completed.
Bella was not very satisfied with the rewards of the main mission because she felt that the system was perfunctory to her.
That is to say, is there a possibility... that she does not accept this task, but as long as she learns cultural knowledge, the system will also give her a "knowledge value" that is exactly the same as the reward for this task?
Bella now feels that the main task is particularly annoying, because its existence is always urging Bella, who doesn't like to study, to study, but she has no solution to this. The main task cannot be given up, nor can it be blocked, and , this task cannot be completed even if it wants to be completed, or even failed.
Unless you commit suicide.
The other task is a side task, which asks her to compete with Cheng Lixue. The reason why this task is special is that it is also a long-term task and requires several competitions before it can be completed. The rewards and punishments are also at the end of each battle. It will be distributed in installments later.
Moreover, there is another very special thing about this side mission, that is, every time Bella and Cheng Lixue fight, Wutong will not only give out the "rewards" that Bella should receive as usual, but also tell her what Cheng Lixue may have gained.
This will make Bella unconsciously compare with Cheng Lixue who has gained more "rewards". Sometimes, she does not gain as much combat experience as her opponent, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
If "Xuanyuan Sword: Ruoshui" is not used, the fighting abilities of Cheng Lixue and Bella are not much different. At first, Lixue won more times, but gradually, Bella was able to win a few games.
Cheng Lixue's talent is not very good, and her qualifications are not as good as Lin Chaoyu's, but she works hard enough. Seeing her "sweat", Bella, Xilin and others will be deeply ashamed.
Therefore, Li Xue's combat ability is not weak, and his growth rate may not be slower than those of so-called geniuses.
In fact, most people can't do this. If they could do it, there wouldn't be so few talented people with scores above 650 in the college entrance examination. People are lazy.
Only a very small number of people can persevere day after day, which requires great perseverance. Looking at it this way, Li Xue is still very talented. Her talent is probably tenacious will and perseverance.
After spending many days with Wutong, Bella felt more and more that her system was useless. She felt that her "gold finger" was not like a "plug-in", but more like an "alarm clock" urging her to work hard. Tasks are used all the time to remind her not to be lazy.
Bella felt even more tired after reviving her life!
She learned one thing from the system, that is, stop daydreaming all the time. There is no shortcut to gaining power. You can only be down-to-earth, step by step, or pay an unbearable price.
This price may be more precious than what you get.
Instead of using the portal to return to Taixu Mountain, Xilin chose a more troublesome mode of transportation, which was to "ride" Bella and fly back on her.
Little pufferfish love to show off.
Fortunately, Lin Chaoyu didn't worry about their safety and chose to go with them, otherwise these two idiots would most likely get lost.
Just when Bella followed Lin Chaoyu's directions and flew over Taixu Mountain, a crisp "ding~" sounded again.
"Ding~ The side mission is released, do you accept it?"
"……accept."
This time, Bella hesitated only for a moment.
Now that she has arrived at the "new map", the famous Taixu Mountain, she naturally has to take on a mission. Maybe she can learn about the place in advance through the content of the mission and make some preparations.
Of course, this is just Bella's excuse and her psychological comfort to herself.
"The side mission has been accepted and can be abandoned.
"Side mission 7: Experience the Taixu illusion in person, either alone or in a team.
"Completion reward 1: combat experience plus 10, strength plus 1, agility plus 1, intelligence plus 1.5, knowledge plus 2.
"Completion reward 2: Can transform into human form, charisma increased by 9.
"Punishment for failure: Give up this task, your charm will be reduced by 1.
"Warm reminder 1: Only after some setbacks can you gain insights. This task will not threaten your life safety, but after experiencing the illusion, it may cause you psychological depression.
"Warm reminder 2: It is recommended to see a psychologist after completing this task and actively receive psychological treatment.
"Special Tip 1: Taixu Fantasy Realm is extremely real. Please be mentally prepared and think carefully before entering.
"Special Tip 2: After entering the Taixu Illusion Realm, your cognition will change. You will subconsciously think that you are still in reality, and it will be difficult to realize that you are in an illusion."
Bella glanced through it briefly, and then fixed her eyes on the four words "transformable human form", her eyes seemed to turn green.
