Chapter 213 Yuan Fen’s Wonderful Journey
Yuan Fen is an excellent locksmith, no doubt.
In Yuan Fen's heart, the commander is his idol. The commander is also very clear about Yuan Fen's potential.
There are countless stories in this world, and there are actually many cases of a thousand-mile horse meeting a good horseman.
Yuan Fen's talent for lock picking is in his bones.
When he was a child, he was so poor that he couldn't survive. In order to survive, he could only rely on stealing.
Some things are not allowed by the law, so it is difficult for people to see those people who can do certain things to the pinnacle in the gray area.
Yuan Fen's lock picking skills have reached the pinnacle before he became a locksmith.
He once accidentally saw a locksmith in the process of unlocking, so he understood...
The door of this world is something that blocks his food and clothing. To get warmth and satiety, he has to find a way... to open the door.
And the essence of opening the door is to unlock.
Here, we skip the process of Yuan Fen learning to unlock, and just need to understand that-
The day before this child became an old calendar person, the lock picking skills reached the pinnacle.
He only needs to knock on the door, and when he hears the sound, he can make a key on the spot.
Of course, he doesn't need a key, iron wire, playing cards, and all kinds of props will do.
But making a key makes Yuan Fen feel cool. It's like opening the door openly.
All of the above are things before Yuan Fen became a locksmith.
After becoming a real old calendar locksmith, these things are not worth mentioning to Yuan Fen.
In Yuan Fen's eyes, the door is equivalent to a virtual thing. It's just a visual obstacle, and its existence can be ignored in essence.
After coming to this special maze, Yuan Fen has been tired of opening doors.
He has become a witness to countless journeys.
The 31st door.
Yuan Fen saw a couple quarreling.
"Do you like Qin Ze? He doesn't work there anymore, and you are still looking for clients for him!"
"What about you? Don't you like Qiao Wei? Last time I went to your house... you even hung her photo!"
"That's the past!"
"I don't care. I'm going to help Qin Ze. If you want to be jealous, go ahead!"
"Oh, as expected, you're not as good as Qiao Wei."
The conflict between the man and the woman has reached an irreconcilable point, and they began to hurt each other.
The woman was obviously more skilled:
"Why do you care about someone else's wife? Has Qiao Wei ever looked at you straight? Besides, that's someone else's deceased wife!"
The man with a handsome appearance and the temperament of a musician had a cold face. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Yuan Fen was not interested in this kind of thing, but when he heard the word Qin Ze, he stopped.
He was basically sure that this was the Qin Ze he knew.
At this moment, Yuan Fen even thought...he had returned to the original world and finally got rid of the maze.
But unfortunately, Yuan Fen did not escape the maze.
Because Yuan Fen found that... when they noticed his existence...
The man and woman began to distort, like the mirror image in a concave mirror.
Then, they showed strong aggressiveness.
Yuan Fen was not unfamiliar.
When he was discovered, this situation would soon occur.
The creatures in the door became extremely distorted, and then they would attack him.
The longer the time, the more violent the attack, and the stronger the monster.
The way to avoid it is to kill the monster, or - enter the next door.
But killing monsters is not easy, the locksmith has no fighting ability.
So Yuan Fen can only escape, escape into the next world.
The 44th door.
It is a scene of a woman in a black windbreaker and a bald man.
This is a desert.
But there are many "woman trees" in the desert.
"Li Xiaohua, take it easy, this thing is addictive, the juice of the human body tree may make you... and the resentment has just disappeared, you should be careful not to lose control again."
The bald man can no longer care, he is too thirsty, this desert is difficult to cross.
The description of the Lord of the Old Calendar on the Golden Calendar manuscript made it seem as if this place was easy to cross.
But when Li Xiaohua actually came to this desert... he realized how difficult it was to cross this place.
He didn't know where this woman was going to take him.
But presumably, after crossing such a desert, he must be very close to the end, right?
But the most important thing right now is... to cross this desert.
Li Xiaohua was really thirsty.
And those human-body trees, each one of them was like a mother preparing to feed her child, or the kind of coquettish mother who only existed in Japanese movies.
He couldn't help it, he had to drink a sip. Experience the happiness that the Lord of the Old Calendar had experienced.
It was impossible for humans to cross this desert by their own ability.
So Li Xiaohua felt that if he didn't get a mouthful of blood, he would really die.
He ignored the woman's dissuasion and began to suck the juice of those human-body trees.
Sure enough...
He couldn't control it.
A strange power began to make Li Xiaohua's lips grow something like roots, connecting it with the human-body trees.
These trees have evolved, and the grievances of the recent past have caused them to be more exaggerated than before.
Li Xiaohua was shocked, like a person whose tongue is caught by a crab, trying to break free but unable to.
And there was a voice in his head, constantly telling him: Give up struggling and enjoy the sweet milk.
The woman shook her head.
In the end, she cut off the human tree and saved the bald man.
This place was too weird, and Yuan Fen decided to leave quickly.
Especially that woman, he felt that her strength was unfathomable. If she found him and turned into a twisted, aggressive monster... he couldn't resist it.
Yuan Fen fled into the next world.
The world behind the fifty-ninth door was a huge arena, but there were no competing teams in the arena.
In the center of the arena was a booth.
In the center of the booth was a spirited old man who was promoting his new book.
This old man was undoubtedly a pyramid scheme master, and his speech was very brainwashing.
People like Yuan Fen knew that this was brainwashing as soon as they heard it, but it didn't matter...
Brainwashing doesn't need to be advanced, and it doesn't matter if people see the clues of brainwashing...
Anyway, scammers always screen fools.
"Grassroots can fight back! The great God of Competition can help us realize any wish!"
"Look at this prosperous city! Where else in the old calendar world can you see so many tribes and so many creatures?"
"Here is the largest trading market, slave market, and gambling market in the old calendar world! There are even hospitals and schools here!"
"Why? In the old calendar world, where the rules are chaotic, there is such a paradise?"
"All this is because of the God of Competition!"
This old man obviously knows one thing - to do business in a place, you must first appease the local officials.
He praised the biggest local official. After the praise, the next business will begin:
"The God of Competition can change our destiny! How to change it? Of course, compete and fight!"
"But fighting and competition are not all about the strength on the stage! The strength off the stage is equally important!"
"I, Ling Aozhe! The champion of the last Hell Ball Competition, as the chief of staff of the whole team, I helped Fuxi and others win the championship and made an indelible and huge contribution!"
"If you also want to win the championship! If you also want the other side of the scale that weighs your wishes... can emit a dazzling gem light!"
"Then come and buy my work! Go and explore! I have written all the secrets of winning in my biography!"
The speech continued for a while, but as Yuan Fen was discovered, Yuan Fen could no longer observe.
However, looking at the fanatical expressions of countless people in the stands, Yuan Fen can be sure...
This old man's book will definitely be a best-seller.
Wait, his name is Ling Aozhe?
Yuan Fen didn't come to his senses until he entered the next door.
Ling Aozhe, isn't he the protagonist of Stormy Night?
This is incredible.
He remembered that the commander said that he would go to the Kingdom of Competition to investigate, but now... he has already obtained the result in advance.
However, this is not the real world.
Yuan Fen still can't figure out what the difference is between the world here and the real world?
Or what is the connection.
Yuan Fen's journey is still going on.
At the 420th door...
He saw a world that shocked him.
The mechanical world.
In fact, this is a milestone in the maze.
It is not an easy thing to open the door.
That is, Yuan Fen happens to be a locksmith, so there is actually no cost to open the door.
But in fact, in the maze...
There is a price to pay for opening the door.
When opening the third door, Yuan Fen noticed that there was a hint for each door.
When you are trapped in a world and want to leave, you must first find the location of the door.
Secondly, you must make a decision and choose which door to open.
This can determine how far you can go.
Yuan Fen remembered that he was afraid at the beginning and didn't dare to open some doors at all.
The content of the door is as follows - leave a random organ from your body to obtain the permission to open the door. May your organ be of no use to you.
Yuan Fen did not open this door, but chose another door. The slogan of the other door is as follows -
You will be implanted with an obsession to eat in order to obtain the permission to open the door. This obsession will last for seven rounds and will disappear after you have opened the door seven times. Every round, the hunger will intensify. May you have a full meal.
Yuan Fen thought that he could definitely tolerate this debuff since he opened the door so quickly.
As a result, after opening the door, Yuan Fen found that...
He did not feel hungry.
He understood that he had the ability to unlock the door, and did not need the permission to open the door, but could force the door to open.
So correspondingly, there would be no penalty for opening the door.
Yuan Fen observed that each door required a corresponding penalty to obtain the permission.
Some penalties will make you madly jealous of someone in your memory.
Some will reduce your sanity.
Others will slow down your movement speed...
In short, there are all kinds of attributes.
It is hard to imagine that if a person is not a locksmith and relies on obtaining permissions to open the door... what will be left of this person in the end?
It is impossible to get out of such a maze.
Yuan Fen knew very well that if he was not a locksmith, let alone opening three-digit doors, he would probably die in the world behind a door after passing through seven or eight doors in a row.
The 420th door——
The painting style is different from all the previous paintings of the world behind the door.
There is a huge flying object in the sky. The flying object is spherical and looks like a metal sphere with a full sense of machinery.
It's just that it is too huge, as if a city is suspended in the air.
This magnificent scene makes Yuan Fen very excited.
And below the huge sphere is an abyss, which emits blue light, like some kind of energy, maintaining the operation of the sphere.
At the top of the huge abyss, on the edge of the pit, a young man with a human flesh and blood body and a mechanical body is together with several blue phantoms.
The blue phantom made an electronic synthesized voice:
"Welcome to our country, we are the largest neutral country in the world."
"Fellow, before we accept you into zero... we need to take away some of your memories about humans. Is that okay?"
"What's your name? What I need to tell you is that we will retain the concept of 'I'. You will not completely lose your memory, but your position must be on our side."
The blue phantom turned out to be the one who greeted the boy.
It's so shocking. There are mechanical lives in this world?
Yuan Fen was really worried that these guys could sense him.
But soon, he discovered that this world was very different from the worlds behind other doors.
"My name is No. 4. I have no problem. If the price of entering zero is to erase the memory of the human era, I am willing. Even if it is completely erased."
No. 4?
What a strange name. Sure enough, these mechanical lives are not normal.
Yuan Fen felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer.
Because he saw some details on the huge sphere... cannon.
Some conceptual weapons that only appear in science fiction novels - star destroyer cannons.
If this thing is fired at me... I am afraid that the journey will be over.
Now the thing that supports Yuan Fen and can continue to open the door is that each world is different.
He just thinks of it as traveling continuously.
But Yuan Fen soon discovered...
The location of the door is very awkward, behind No. 4.
No. 4 looks very difficult to mess with.
Yuan Fen's impression of mechanical life is still at the Astro Boy stage, with 100,000 firepower and seven divine powers, and can fly into the sky, hide in the ground, and catch airplanes with bare hands.
Anyway, it is not an existence that he can afford to mess with.
But now, he had to rush over, which would lead to his exposure.
Those blue shadows seemed nothing to be afraid of. But No. 4 looked indifferent to mechanical life.
It felt like Schwarzenegger's T800 came to the world to perform a mission.
Damn it, I'll die!
Yuan Fen was still very brave and rushed over directly.
What surprised Yuan Fen was that what greeted him was not the seven great powers of 100,000 firepower, nor the high-standard treatment of the star destroyer.
But - ignored.
No. 4, the blue shadow, seemed not to see Yuan Fen.
Not as if, but really did not see Yuan Fen.
Yuan Fen rushed to the door in a daze.
Because he had experienced hundreds of scenes of being chased by monsters, he was used to opening the door as soon as he arrived at the door...
And once the door was opened, he had to enter instantly.
Yuan Fen left this world with a huge mechanical sphere.
But the moment he left, he realized that something was wrong.
"This world... may be a rare world where I can rest for a while!"
Yuan Fen reacted and he would not be discovered at all.
That world... is different from other worlds!
"But why? Why is that world the only one that is special?"
The mysterious mechanical kingdom, the strange semi-mechanical life No. 4...
Yuan Fen is really curious, why is this mechanical kingdom unknown in the old calendar world?
It is obviously that sphere, so spectacular.
But these questions cannot be answered, all Yuan Fen can do is to keep opening the door.
He also doesn't know when he will reach the end.
When can he see his companions who will not attack him in these doors...
