Above the Gray Fog

Chapter 1485 Life Sequence (Two in One) (1/2)

"Let me see, are there any new ashes here?" The girl twisted her steps and approached Lin Shan.

The oncoming pressure almost crushed the black bones that he thought were indestructible. Lin Shan immediately made a gesture of invitation, "The ashes are all on the shelf over there."

"Your bones are not bad either." Hearing this, the girl ignored Lin Shan's words and stretched out her delicate hands to touch Lin Shan's chest.

The huge pressure almost suffocated Lin Shan. He clenched the meat cleaver in his hand and chopped it backhandedly.

This knife directly cut off two of the girl's fingers.

The girl stopped moving and murmured, "You really don't know how to cherish women."

She squatted down and picked up the two broken fingers on the ground.

She gently put them into her mouth and chewed them. Not long after, new fingers grew out.

"You can't waste them. You must not have been in a place with scarce resources." The girl squatted on the ground and looked up at Lin Shan. She was still chewing in her mouth, making a creaking sound.

She stood up and walked towards the shelf with ashes. "Welcome to my hometown when you have time. You are very unique. I will treat you well."

"I want this." She pointed to one of the urns and said.

Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately tore off the seal on the urn and handed the ancient urn to her.

"How much?" the girl asked.

"Five hundred and thirty thousand." Lin Shan said that the price of all the ashes was in the message left by the big man. He could not sell more or less.

"I will come again." The girl stretched out her hand and grabbed it.

When she let go, some colorful ice crystals appeared in her palm.

She turned and left, and the ice crystals were still floating in the air.

Lin Shan didn't know what these ice crystals were, but since he told the girl that it was five hundred and thirty thousand, it was not his business whether the other party gave more or less. The big man didn't teach him to recognize the money here in the message he gave him.

Watching the girl go out and disappear from sight, the world outside the door was still as it was at the beginning, dark and nothing.

Lin Shan wanted to reach out and hold the ice crystals in front of him, but found that all of them were wrapped in a transparent energy ball, just like the crystal balls that children like to play with.

He put the transparent ball with colorful ice crystals into the drawer of the front counter. He knew these cash boxes.

The drawer was empty, and the "money" inside should have been taken away by the big man.

After putting the "money" in, Lin Shan sat on the chopping board again.

There were too many things incomprehensible to him in this place.

What is the use of the urn?

What are the ice crystals that are regarded as money?

And the girl just now, she looked like she had a layer of shell, and no one knew what was inside.

"Forget it, I only need to endure for a year, and now a month has passed."

"It's almost there, it's almost there."

Thinking about it, Lin Shan's thoughts drifted to the mountain monster before.

After killing the other party, he clearly felt that there was something more in his body. Although his strength was almost imperceptible because the improvement was too small, Lin Shan could be sure that he had really improved.

Is his next path to Sequence One... going to kill all the way?

Lin Shan's frown softened. It was better to have a way than no way. I hope this is really a way.

He closed his eyes again and immersed himself in the passage of time.

When he opened his eyes again, it was a day in the third month. On this day, the store welcomed the second customer.

This customer's arrival was not as calm and calm as the first one. On the contrary, he seemed quite flustered. With an air of urgency and anxiety, he stumbled into the store, as if he was escaping from a terrifying existence.

What happened in the outside world that made this customer lose his composure? Lin Shan's heart was filled with curiosity.

Sitting on the chopping board, Lin Shan quietly looked at this unique new customer.

His appearance made Lin Shan squint his eyes. It looked like a robot with a strange shape.

The head was a small square, like a precision box, and the body was a square much larger than the head, with a metallic luster on the surface.

Each of the robot's limbs was equipped with wheels, and it seemed that it would turn into a car and run away at any time.

Lin Shan greeted as usual, "What do you need?"

The voice of the creature was also a mechanical voice, "Nothing is needed, boss, please let me hide here for a while."

The robot looked at Lin Shan, and Lin Shan looked back at it. There was no emotion in the eyes flashing faint blue light.

"Is something chasing you?" Lin Shan became interested.

"A humanoid monster without a lower body, only crawling on the ground, with an upright height of 201 meters." The robot replied. Seeing that there was no danger here, it began to look at the surrounding environment.

"Do you know where this is?" Lin Shan asked.

"Isn't it scale 244? If you ask about this store, I haven't been to this store..."

"Did you come from another scale?" Lin Shan asked.

"Well, I came from scale 179, which is a very habitable scale with infinite space and is very suitable for mechanical creatures like us." The robot replied.

"Scale 179..." Lin Shan muttered, jumped off the chopping board and came to the side of the robot. The robot took a few steps back but soon stopped. The creature in front of it posed no threat.

"I have a few questions for you. Let me sort them out." Lin Shan said, rubbing his hair. There were too many questions, and he didn't know where to start. This robot that knew everything was a good breakthrough for him to understand this place.

"You just said that you haven't been to this store, so you must have been to other places. What kind of place is Scale 244?" Lin Shan looked at the robot and asked.

"Aren't you the boss here? Are you a servant?" The robot's eyes flashed blue several times. "Scale 244, only one street is a safe zone. There are hundreds of shops on this street, which can provide creatures in nearby scales with some necessities. Scale 244 can only be entered during the day when the rules are in place.

At night, the safe zone here will disappear and become another place. The store you are in now will only appear at night. I can't leave at the moment because I have some problems. At night, there are only seven stores in this store. I didn't dare to enter the store at first, but after the monster appeared, I had only this way to choose."

The robot roughly explained what happened, and also let Lin Shan have a little understanding of this place.

"So, now there are all those monsters outside the store?"

"Yes."

"I can't tell the day and night in the store. I want to go out and see during the day. What should I do?" Lin Shan asked.

"I advise you not to do this. No matter when you go out, it will be dark, because this shop can only appear at night. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well... are you a robot?" Lin Shan nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked.

Lin Shan's thoughts jumped, making the robot a little unable to keep up. The blue light in his eyes jumped several times before replying, "I am not a robot, I am a machine life, and the life sequence is 7."

"There is a sequence for life? How much is a life like me ranked?" Lin Shan was a little curious. He heard about the life sequence for the first time.

"Most of the creatures in the world are flesh and blood creatures. Flesh and blood creatures have great potential, but they also have many limitations. The current ranking is 97th."

"97th... is it considered high?"

"According to the database of my tribe, there are a total of 107 known types of life, and the last one is the slime."

Lin Shan was silent. The last ten, the flesh and blood creatures are really bad.

"Life ranking is just a comprehensive ranking of life types. In terms of combat ability and wisdom, flesh and blood creatures are also among the best." As if afraid that Lin Shan would be hit, the robot continued to add, "It is rumored that there is a world called Gray Fog Universe in the void, where there are the ultimate level of flesh and blood creatures - the Overlords. Those Overlords are the existences that some Void Kings are afraid of. In short, the potential of flesh and blood creatures is very great."

"Well..." Lin Shan temporarily put aside the matter of life ranking and continued the previous topic, "If this store can only appear at night, wouldn't you be unable to get out?"

Hearing this, the robot shook his head, "I just had a malfunction, but it's fixed now, I'll go out in a while."

It turned out to be a big boss, that's right, if it wasn't a big boss, you couldn't enter such a place.

For the next few minutes, Lin Shan and the robot didn't speak again.

About five minutes later, the robot walked towards the shelf where the urns were placed.

"What does this store sell?" it asked.

"Just these urns." Lin Shan said casually.

"This is..." The blue light in the robot's eyes suddenly brightened, "How much is this? I'll buy it."

"That one is 360,000." Lin Shan looked at the urn pointed by the robot and said, this urn is the cheapest here.

"Is this okay?" The robot took out something like a crystal.

"What is this?"

"Mechanical soul is the hard currency of my race. It can give birth to souls in all mechanical items. If the number is large enough, it can even give birth to human nature, just like me." The robot continued to add, "For this urn, I will give you ten soul crystals."

Lin Shan stared at the crystal in the robot's hand. This thing is interesting and he is very interested, but unfortunately, this store is not his, he can't make the decision. If the big man comes back and finds that the money he received is not right, it will be a troublesome matter.

"We only accept this here." Lin Shan walked to the table and took out a crystal ball from the drawer.

"Is this currency? Such a rich life energy. There is no information about this currency in the database." The robot came closer to watch, and the blue light in his eyes beat rhythmically, as if searching for information.

Lin Shan put the crystal ball back into the drawer, looked at the robot and said, "This is the only currency we accept. If you don't have it, I can't sell you anything. I'm just a shopkeeper."

"That's a pity. Maybe my level is not high enough. I'll come again if I have a chance. I feel this urn is very important to me." The robot stared at one of the urns and said slowly, "I'm glad to meet you here. I'm leaving. Let's exchange names and give this encounter a happy ending."

"Mumushan." Lin Shan said.

"Nexogrid." The robot said, and prepared to push the door and walk out.

Lin Shan watched him disappear into the darkness.

After talking with the robot, he had a general understanding of his current situation.

Although he still had many questions in his mind, there were so many questions that he didn't know which one to ask.

The room was silent again.

Lin Shan stared at the heavy door in front of him.

This door was simple and huge. The material of the door seemed to be made of an ancient wood. The surface exuded an unknown chill and looked eerie.

Behind the door was endless darkness, rich and deep, as if it could devour all light and life.

This darkness was like a sleeping beast, hidden deep at the other end of the door.

Lin Shan's intuition told him that as long as he dared to go out, the dark beast would open its terrifying bloody mouth.

After watching for a while, Lin Shan went back to sleep on the chopping board, waiting for the third guest.

A quarter of the agreed year had passed.

Thinking of this, Lin Shan's thoughts drifted away again.

It seemed that no matter where you are, there are always 365 days in a year and 24 hours in a day. Even the dark abyss follows this rule.

Who created this rule? Why is it applicable to all places?

When Lin Shan's thoughts were flying, he didn't know that the time around him was passing quickly.

It was not until five months later that the third customer came.

A half-man-high jelly-like thing came, bouncing around.

Lin Shan sat on the chopping board, and when he saw this creature for the first time, he thought of the slime creature that the robot had told him about before.

The pale yellow, transparent body was very round, without any internal organs, and there were two big eyes that seemed to be painted on, blinking.

"Where is the butcher?" The slime made a sound.

"The previous boss went out, and asked me to look after the store." Lin Shan replied. The customer who came this time did not seem to be buying things, but to find the big man.

"Out?" The slime bounced, and its body stretched like jelly, turning into a humanoid creature that looked like a man and a woman. "Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" It approached and looked Lin Shan up and down.

"From above, tricked down." Lin Shan pointed upward.

"Are you a resident of the shallow scale? I seem to have seen you somewhere, but I can't remember. It shouldn't be you. You look very young... When the butcher comes back, tell him that a slime came to see him, a yellow slime." After saying that, it transformed into a slime again and jumped out of the door.

The whole reception process took less than two minutes. Lin Shan returned to the chopping board again to receive the fourth guest.

In the fifth month, an uninvited guest came to the store, at least, for Lin Shan.

This would undoubtedly disrupt his peaceful daily life.

The visitor was Rubin.
