Chapter 1835 The Layout of the Broken Land (5000 Words) (1/2)

In a peculiar restaurant, the semi-enclosed architectural style, the walls are made of translucent crystals, and the walls are inlaid with luminous mechanical devices.

The tables and chairs in the restaurant are all carved from a tree called "Qiaomu", which is hard and has a little spiritual charm.

The guests here are of different shapes and strange looks, including translucent shadow creatures, beasts and a few deformed species.

Humanoid creatures account for at least half of the number here, so Lin Shan can easily blend in here. He only needs to adjust the color of his eyes and hair, and no one can tell that he is an outsider.

The voices of conversation around are very noisy, some people are in groups, and some are immersed in their own world.

No matter what kind of person, they can harmoniously integrate into this peculiar restaurant.

Lin Shan is one of the groups.

A group of people are laughing and talking, it's so lively.

But Lin Shan is obviously superficial, and he doesn't even remember the appearance of these people.

After the toasts, the table of ten or so people gradually left, and only Lin Shan remained.

This meal, he treated everyone.

"Boss."

The little devil sitting on Lin Shan's shoulder shouted, "Servant!"

"Servant!"

"Slave!"

"Come here." The waiters of the restaurant ran over one after another, "What do you need, guests?"

The messenger was a petite crocodile that could walk upright.

"Switch to another table, I haven't eaten yet!"

The servant looked at Lin Shan, and when he saw Lin Shan nodded slightly, he immediately nodded in response, "This demon, please wait a moment."

Ten minutes later, another table of sumptuous dishes was served.

The tastes of humanoid creatures would not differ too much. In Lin Shan's opinion, these dishes were all edible. Although the taste was a little unpalatable, it was just a meal, just to cope with it.

Lin Shan sat at a wooden table with delicate carvings, holding a chopstick-like utensil in his hand - 'sticky'.

Although there is only one 'sticky stick', as long as it touches the food on the plate lightly, the food will automatically stick to it and be easily delivered to the mouth.

Lin Shan kept sticking to a plate of colorful ingredients. It was a mysterious ingredient called "Fantasy Fruit". The appearance was as transparent as crystal, but after cutting it open, the inside was as bright as stars. This ingredient can simulate any taste you have eaten before.

The little devil began to feast on it. She waved the 'sticky stick' in her hand and chewed happily.

Her movements were crazy, her pointed tail swung excitedly from time to time, and her eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Lin Shan put down the 'sticky stick' and stared at the pedestrians coming and going outside the restaurant.

He began to organize his layout.

In order to successfully enter this giant plate, Lin Shan spent a lot of thought.

He spent three thousand years to create nearly three hundred skills with hidden characteristics, and combined with the two hundred hidden elements he originally mastered, he barely created a new heaven-level skill-"Hidden Breath".

When fully operational, this technique can not only avoid the prying of peers, but also hide one's fate and causal relationship to a certain extent.

Most importantly, it can prevent him from being struck by lightning for no reason.

However, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Dao-level technique is, it is essentially only at the King-level level.

It can only barely avoid the prying of peers.

Once you encounter a disordered person, you will be immediately exposed.

However, for Lin Shan, this is enough.

In this broken land, the probability of encountering a disordered person is as rare as ordinary humans seeing gods in the gray fog universe.

After simply eating some "Illusion Fruit" in the restaurant, Lin Shan returned to the mansion he bought in this town.

After preparing outside for three thousand years, he was not focused on creating "Hidden Breath". Lin Shan also continuously sent many parasitic units into this giant plate.

Over the years, although 99.999% of the parasitic units have been eliminated, there are still a few who survived.

Lin Shan discovered the pattern from the surviving parasitic units.

The surviving parasitic units all have specific life trajectories, which are almost indistinguishable from ordinary residents on the plate.

This proves that there must be some kind of super-large device on the plate that can detect some hidden dangers.

As long as the means are gentle, the detection will not be triggered.

Lin Shan's body replaced the stand-in unit prepared in advance, and has been acting according to the previous life trajectory of that unit.

Compared with the previous stand-in unit, Lin Shan added some behaviors after the replacement. He suddenly became fond of making friends and seemed eager to get to know people in the whole town.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to cover up his own cause and effect. The deeper he is entangled with the local creatures here, the less likely he is to be discovered.

Before taking action, he needs to shape this additional identity. Before the identity of the local creature is shaped into a three-dimensional form, he will not act easily.

Once there is a mistake, it is likely to end with self-explosion.

As soon as he returned home, Lin Shan sat cross-legged on the soft bed.

His current identity is a businessman. He built this mansion with his own money. In this town, he is considered to be relatively wealthy.

In the Broken Land, even transactions between ordinary people are made with lifespan, that is to say, the richer you are, the longer you can live. So even though he is an ordinary person now, his identity as a businessman can completely conceal the fact that he can live a very long time.

But the souls of ordinary people have limits, and they only have a few thousand years at most, so they still have to prepare for what they should.

Looking down from the windows of the mansion, you can see the houses on both sides of the street scattered in an orderly manner. This is the edge of a giant continental plate. The buildings are generally only two or three stories high. The level of civilization is similar to that of a small town on the earth, but It has its own technology system and many gadgets that Lin Shan thinks are magical.

Lin Shan withdrew his gaze and silently contacted the eyeliner units all over the place.

He whispered to himself, "2070."

This means that, so far, 2070 parasitic units have been perfectly integrated into this town.

After receiving the information, Lin Shan immediately cut off contact with these units.

In order to prevent one Dandelion unit from implicating other units when it was discovered, Lin Shan created the use of hidden lines.

This ability is only developed based on the method of ascending to the sky, without changing its essential use method, so it will not cause the wrath of nature.

He is not a real swarm life. The swarm life is just his puppet. How to operate is completely under his control. It is not too difficult to make changes. However, these hidden threads that can act independently can only be handled by ordinary Dandelion units and cannot be used. Any supernatural power.

Lin Shan has only two instructions for these hidden line units. One is to help other hidden line units integrate into the town, and the other is to make every effort to make friends with local creatures and entangle his own cause and effect with more people.

The summary is, just keep making things happen and then involve people.

There are countless strong people on this giant plate.

After experiencing the situation three thousand years ago, Lin Shan did not dare to act rashly again.

Although this town is remote, it has a way of quickly transmitting news on this continent, just like the 'Internet'.

As long as he obtains this base area, Lin Shan will know all the common sense events that need to be known.

This giant continent is called "Qingping State" and is one of the thirteen core states in the Broken Land.

No one knows exactly how big it is, and accurate information cannot be collected even on the 'Internet' here.

The local creatures only know that Qingping Prefecture is very huge and boundless.

For most local residents, Qingping Prefecture is their entire world.

Lin Shan peeled off some subtle information and began to analyze the extraordinary information in this world. One night passed quickly.

...

The next day, Lin Shan lived as usual, eating, shopping, and making friends with ordinary people.

The little devil has been following him, and she has had a lot of fun over the years.

This is not an ordinary world. Even in such an ordinary town, residents can accept the existence of demons and elves.

They will be curious about it, but never scared or surprised.

Because money can really buy these things.

Although the Broken Land is civilized, it is not democratic, and the strong are respected.

The slave industry, although often suppressed, never disappeared.

Lin Shan was like a robot, walking a perfect trajectory day after day.

This life lasted for ten years.

One day, the small town that had been peaceful and quiet for a long time suddenly became lively.

A huge steam airship floated over the town.

The steam and smoke released by the airship filled the air, and a heat wave hit the ground from above and bounced back into the air.

The sky was filled with steam, as if covering the town with a layer of mist.

Tens of thousands of people had gathered in the town's largest square. They rushed to the bottom of the steamship, shouting and yelling.

Lin Shan stood on the top floor of his single-family villa and looked down. Over the years, he has worked hard and bought a lot of real estate. Now he is a well-known young man.

Coupled with the constant infiltration of parasitic units, nothing in the town could escape his eyes. Lin Shan already knew the origin of this steam airship.

He has been waiting for this day to come.

This steam airship represents a huge force - the Deep Ones.

Sounds like the exact opposite of the name "Lookout."

Lin Shan has not yet figured out the specific relationship between the Deep Divers and the Watchers. He only knows that the Deep Divers are very powerful and play a decisive role in the entire Broken Land.

They will select suitable seeds throughout the Broken Land, and the selected ones will undergo the next test. After passing the tests, they can become the new blood of the Deep Ones.

Lin Shan is preparing to join this organization and completely improve his local identity. Once he interacts with a big force like the 'Deep Divers', even if the Discord takes action, they may not be able to find out his details.

At that point, he can start his real plan.

The hatch of the steam airship opened, and several creatures got off the airship, throwing a few black boxes on the ground.

Those black boxes quickly unfolded and turned into a field. The surroundings of the venue were arranged in an orderly manner, obviously in preparation for the next selection.

A tall man wearing a dark red military uniform came forward. His face was angular and his eyes were sharp and cold.

He stood in the center of the field, looked around, and said in a low and powerful voice, "You should all know the reason for our coming. I won't go into details. We will stay here for seven days. Who can make the crystal shine within seven days? It will pass the preliminary test.”

These words echoed in the square like thunder, making the noisy crowd instantly quiet.

The man's aura was extremely oppressive. Most of the people in the town were ordinary people. The originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.

But the excitement on everyone's faces could not be concealed at all.

The selection of 'deep divers' takes place once a hundred years. Although their average lifespan is about five hundred years, one hundred years is still a very long time for them.

Everyone knows that once you pass the selection, you will get the opportunity to soar into the sky, leave this small town, see the bigger world, and become a more powerful person.

For ordinary people, perhaps the biggest wish is to make more money, live longer, and live better.

Six people got off the steam airship.

Two humanoids, one with wings, one with scales, and two different looking creatures.

They sat in a row, looking down at the equipment in their hands, and occasionally chatting with each other.

The test was carried out in an orderly manner. When the square seemed a little crowded, a tall female warrior wearing thick military armor stood up. Her eyes flashed coldly and her voice was clear but majestic, "Everyone has a chance. If you withdraw part of it first, you will be disqualified if you squeeze in again!”

Lin Shan carefully observed the soldiers coming off the steam airship from the rooftop.

Although he did not directly see their memories, Lin Shan could now clearly see the details of these people with just his naked eyes.

In front of him, these people had no secrets.

Lin Shan was not in a hurry to proceed. There were still seven days left, and he needed to think again whether this move should be made this way.

There is a small water basin on the rooftop, and the little devil is swimming in it, spitting bubbles, looking leisurely and contented.

Seeing Lin Shan thinking, the little devil said maturely, "What you are looking for is a way to be promoted. This thing is not easy to find. Your fists can't help you speak here, so you can only lurk and use some strategies. But this method not only carries the risk of exposure, but is also very time-consuming. Although it seems to be the only method at present, it does not mean that this method will definitely achieve results. "

"Do you have any ideas?" Lin Shan looked at her, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

The little devil grinned, showing his pointed teeth, "You must be thinking about joining the Periscope first, then slowly exposing your strength, climbing to the core position step by step, and finally getting promoted, right? But how do you do that? Are you sure that Peripatetic has the promotion method you need? Wouldn’t it be a big loss if it ends up being a waste of water and getting no benefits?”

"Then what do you think we should do?" Lin Shan asked with interest, although he had never thought about climbing up in the Periscope. All he wanted was a causal relationship to cover up.

"Don't you have a lot of clones? Can't you just send one to lurk?" The little devil said with a proud smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he choked on a mouthful of water and started coughing.

"My clones are not real clones, they are just puppets. If I send real clones to lurk among the deep divers, I am afraid they will be exposed the moment they are separated."

Lin Shan looked disappointed, thinking that the little devil could finally be of some use and help him come up with ideas.

"Now that you've decided, let's go." The little devil waved his hand, as if he would do whatever he wanted to do.

Lin Shan ignored her and waited for seven days.

In these seven days, only one creature in the entire town made the detection crystal light up.

In fact, the method to make the crystal light up is very simple. You only need to have the special energy of this world in your body, that is, the purple-red energy.

The crystal below is the detector of purple-red energy.

While waiting, Lin Shan has issued new instructions to all hidden line parasitic units.

Let them go to a larger place to continue their latent development. Lin Shan will contact them again when needed.

It wasn't until the last half hour was left that Lin Shan staggered down the stairs to the rooftop.

The little devil quickly flew out of the basin, shook the water on his body, and sat on Lin Shan's shoulder.

As soon as Lin Shan walked to the street, the crystal lamp suddenly lit up again, and it was still a very strong light.

"S-level!" someone among the inspectors exclaimed.

"I never expected that someone with such talent would appear in this small place."

"S-level?" Lin Shan whispered to himself, using letters to evaluate the level. Except for a few technological civilizations in the gray fog universe, Lin Shan had only seen them on the other side.

After the inspectors exclaimed, they began to prepare to close the stall.

There were two inspectors chatting next to the S-level talent, and even the S-level talent himself seemed in disbelief.

At this time, Lin Shan quietly stepped forward, gently touched the crystal, and pushed the purple-red energy stored in his body into his palm.

The next second, the crystal shimmered.

"Ripple level." The inspector saw the lit crystal, looked at Lin Shan, and said casually, "Passed."

Sometimes it was S-level, and sometimes it was Ripple-level, which made Lin Shan a little confused.

Why is the hierarchy still different?

"You have three days to say goodbye to your family. I don't know when you can come back next time." A tester came to Lin Shan and said to Lin Shan. Then everyone gathered around the S-level talent and kept chatting. Get a good impression and answer all questions.

"Tsk, tsk." Seeing this scene, the little devil smacked his lips.

At night.

Lin Shan, who was lying on the bed, quietly opened his eyes.

Someone took action against the parasitic unit.

Exposed?

Is it because a large number of parasitic units were discovered when they evacuated the town at the same time?

It shouldn't be... The local cause and effect of these parasitic units that stayed behind are very strong, and they should not be discovered by the so-called monitoring system...

In addition to the Deep Divers, there is another Heavenly Dao-level force in the Broken Land - Utopia.

Utopia is the real leader of the Broken Land.

His previous unit was cleared out by this force, and the one who took action this time must be someone from Utopia.

Lin Shan frowned. He didn't care about the life and death of the parasitic units, but the other party could accurately find the parasitic units, and there was a very small probability that he could discover his existence.

If he was discovered at this time, all his previous lurking would be in vain.

Lin Shan's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.

He put on a coat and walked towards the street.
