Chapter 174 Imitation and Joining
"What's the meaning?"
Jason came over and asked, how do you imitate other creatures?
"Is it also imitating a face? Or can it directly transform into an animal?" Lucilia on Alka's shoulder asked curiously.
Alka shook his head. He didn't know either, he hadn't tried it yet.
"Let me try. One of you can help me catch a bird or a mouse or an insect or something."
"Wait for me." Jason said and rushed out.
In a few minutes he had a little bird in his hand, but no one knew where he got it from.
He handed it to Alka in front of him.
Alka took the bird in front of him, still with the mirror mask on his face, looking at the bird in his hand.
The bird is completely reflected on the mirror mask.
Magic power poured into the mask, and Alka was still observing the bird, observing it very carefully.
The reflection on the mirror mask also shows how carefully Alka observes.
A change occurred on the mirror mask, this time an image of a bird emerged.
The mask then transformed into a bird's head, changing Alka's entire head into a bird's head, exactly like the bird in his hand.
An enlarged version of a bird's head!
“Chichi!”
Looking at the head of the person in front of him, it suddenly turned into a huge bird's head, which scared the bird in Alka's hand so much that it struggled and screamed frantically.
Everyone looked at Alka in a daze.
Changing into another person's face is not as shocking as changing into a bird's head.
At this time, Alka is a monster with a bird's head, but you have to admit that his bird's head is quite cute.
Lucilia, who was sitting on his shoulder, couldn't help but stand up and touch the feathers on the bird's head with her cotton hands.
Jason took out a handful of nuts from somewhere and shook them in front of Alka.
"Eat, eat."
Alka slapped him away and glared at him fiercely with his bird head.
"Hahaha." Jason couldn't help but laugh out loud at Alka's angry reaction.
Because of the bird head on the human body, it is very comical no matter how you look at it.
Then the bird's head twisted and changed like a mirror, turning into Alka wearing a mirror mask.
"I haven't observed it carefully enough, and I don't know enough about this bird."
Alka said.
When he actually imitated other animals, he knew the general application of their abilities.
If he just observes superficially, the most he can do is imitate the animal's head.
The more he knows about the animal he is imitating, the more he can imitate and the more detailed his imitations will be.
Thinking of this, a precision hand appeared in his hand, and then a small knife like a scalpel appeared.
After putting a layer of meat on the table, he directly killed the bird in his hand and then began to dissect it in front of everyone.
Facing such a scene, no one showed any discomfort on their faces. Instead, they watched it carefully from the side.
Watch as Alka carefully dissects the bird and observes every step carefully.
Until Alka had eaten the entire bird's body.
"You need to observe the object you are imitating, right? The more you observe and understand, the better the imitation will be." Xia Daiti couldn't help but ask as he watched Arka's behavior.
Alka nodded, "That's right."
He now had a deeper understanding of the bird. If he could observe the bird's habits, he might gain other insights.
After cleaning up the blood and debris.
The mirror reappeared on Alka’s face.
This time he wanted to perform a deeper imitation and discover the more real capabilities of this treasure.
The figure of a bird appeared on the mirror mask, and more mirrors appeared around him.
The mirror that appeared beside Alka began to melt and became like water, flowing along his body.
The whole process is like the change that occurred when Alka first wore the mask.
Until this mirror-like liquid flowed to both hands, covering the entire hands and forearms.
The bird's silhouette reappeared on the mask, but this time Alka's head and the mirror mask did not change.
But there was always a bird on the mask, jumping around in the mirror, sometimes flying and sometimes landing.
No longer reflecting the surrounding scenery.
This time, what changed was that Alka was attached to his hands. At this time, Alka's hands were no longer human hands, but bird-like claws, with four sharp claws.
"It has turned into a bird's claw! But shouldn't a bird's claw be a leg? Why has yours turned into a hand?"
Lucilia on her shoulder couldn't help but ask.
As soon as she finished speaking, the hand that had turned into a bird claw shattered and scattered like a broken mirror, and then Alka's arm reappeared.
"Ahem, it seems that this won't work."
Alka said this without further explanation, and two more mirrors emerged and turned into fluid-like mirror metal that wrapped around his legs.
Extends from the calf to the sole of the foot.
Then it turned into a bird's claw and even grew feathers.
Alka looked at his bird claws and raised his legs to shake them. This time there was no problem and they did not break.
Just as Lucelia said.
Imitation also has to follow certain rules and cannot be imitated randomly.
For example, it is not possible to imitate the bird's head to other positions or to swap the hands and feet.
Human hands correspond to bird wings, and human legs correspond to bird claws.
Imitation needs to follow this equivalence formula.
If the part of the human body that is imitated has no corresponding limb, what kind of changes will occur is unknown. We have to look for it to find out.
If you don't follow it, changes like the one just now will occur, and after imitation, it will be broken and will not have any effect.
Alka looked at his pair of bird legs and felt very curious.
The people in the room watched as Alka's legs turned into a pair of bird legs and walked around the living room.
How should I put it? It looks very funny.
Although funny, such changes have made everyone aware of the potential of this treasure. Just by casual imagination, they can come up with countless interesting combinations.
Then I saw Alka's bird claws accidentally scratch a hole in Bobby's carpet.
After all, it is the body of the person touching it, which is much stronger than a real bird, and it is not that the original human legs cannot control the force.
"Uh... it's a bit hard to control."
After all, it is different from human legs. Alka feels very novel, but also very uncomfortable.
If this situation were to be used in combat, there would definitely be various flaws, and even embarrassment.
It seems that one needs to be familiar with each change before using it in combat.
Rather than changing them randomly.
Alka thought silently.
When they arrived at the yard outside, the others immediately followed.
Alka looked at a big tree in the yard and jumped up with a light jump. However, he failed to control his strength well and flew over the top of the tree and fell to the back.
He had no choice but to control his strength and jump once more. It took him several jumps before he landed in a place that satisfied Alka. The transformed limbs were indeed very difficult to control.
The bird's claws immediately grabbed a thick tree trunk, and the three-in-front-and-one-in-back structure of the bird's claws allowed Alka to stand steadily on it.
You can even swing back and forth on it without worrying about falling off, which is its advantage over human legs.
By imitating bird legs, it has some of the functions of bird legs, its jumping ability is improved, it also has sharp claws, and it also has the ability to grasp.
Human legs don't have the same grasping ability as bird claws.
"Can you imitate wings? Does that mean you can fly?"
Lucelia, who had been holding onto Alka's shoulders to prevent herself from falling, asked.
Flying is something that humans have longed for since they were old enough to understand, yearning for something they cannot have.
Hearing this question, Alka steadied Lucilia's body and jumped down from the branch, landing next to the crowd. The bird's legs were broken like a mirror.
The haze shattered and turned into Alka's original legs.
Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Alka shook his head and said, "No, although I can imitate the wings of a bird, I can't fly. I can only imitate its appearance."
Birds flying is not as simple as relying on a pair of wings; it also requires the help of the entire body structure.
Even if Alka transformed his hands into wings, his internal organs and bones were not up to the requirements, so he naturally could not use his wings to flap himself.
But if you find a bird with a very wide wingspan and imitate its wings, you may not be able to fly.
But if you glide from a high place, maybe it's possible.
Moreover, this is not Earth. Maybe there are creatures that fly in the sky purely by flapping their bodies with physical strength.
There are also many powerful creatures that can even rival humans in terms of touchers.
I don’t know if this type of creature can imitate.
Alka didn't dare to guarantee it. He just made the necessary guesses. As to whether it was really feasible, he would have to try it out to know.
After listening to Alka's explanation, everyone nodded with some regret.
It's a bit of a shame that I can't see Alka flying with his wings.
"But this treasure is really amazing. Once you study more animals, won't you have a lot of choices?"
After all, the quality of the human body is limited. In battle or when necessary, some limbs can be switched with animals.
It will definitely achieve a very powerful effect.
Alka nodded, "It's been a busy few months."
After the simple test, everyone returned to the living room.
Alka took out and handed it to Julia, asking her to try to control it.
After all, the treasure has been delivered and Julia no longer has it in her possession.
Looking at the flag in front of her, Julia stretched out her hand, and the magic power in her body flowed.
However, as soon as the magic power was infused, it was strongly rejected, causing Julia to retreat again and again.
Seeing this, Alka frowned.
What's going on? There's no treasure left, why can't I get it?
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Julia looked at her hands, raised her head and said: "Although the treasure has been stripped away, there is still a residual aura. We should wait until all the aura dissipates before we can control it."
She didn't understand either, she just made a judgment based on the feedback just now .
Hearing this, Alka shook Lucilia on his shoulder.
"I don't know either. I've never heard of it." Lucelia shrugged.
She is not a real encyclopedia who knows everything. All her knowledge comes from books, and she has no practice at all.
Since Julia can't do it, there is a high possibility that Jason can't do it either.
But anyway, with the attitude of giving it a try, Alka pushed the flag in front of Jason.
Jason didn't wait and reached out to infuse his magic power into it. This time he flew out directly.
"It seems that this still won't work. I can only wait until your aura dissipates."
Alka said, placing the flag on himself.
I had originally thought that before they left their home sea, I would let them increase their strength and become more familiar with the treasures.
Looks like we'll have to wait for a while.
Then Alka said: “There are still four months until the day of the intersection, so everyone should be prepared in these four months.
Those who need to say goodbye can do so properly, and those friends and relatives who need to be touched can also come to me, don’t be polite with me.”
After all, Alka now has two treasures, which can help enlighten some of his teammates’ relatives and friends without bothering others.
Alka said as he looked at everyone and they all nodded silently.
This departure may be a farewell forever, so some affairs after death must be handled properly to leave no regrets.
"Okay, let's disband then."
After that, everyone left and started doing their own things to prepare for the next trip.
Alka also returned to the room and took rest.
…
The next morning.
When Alca came to the living room, everyone was awake, even Juanlu.
Jason was talking to him about something.
Looking at Alca coming down from upstairs, Juanlu stood up and looked at him.
Seeing this, Alka couldn't help but smile.
It seems that Juanlu has made up his mind. Alca thought that he would need some time to think about it, but he didn't expect that he would make up his mind so quickly in just one night.
I hope one night is enough time for him to think seriously.
As Alka came over, Juanlu nodded to him seriously and said, "I thought about it all night yesterday. As expected, I still want to continue to climb up. In order to continue to dream of moving forward, I will join you."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Alka's face, and he also laughed from the bottom of his heart.
I can finally taste Juanlu’s cooking every meal. There is no happier thing than this at sea.
Alca reached out and shook Juanlu's hand, then hugged him.
"Welcome, welcome to join us. You heard it yesterday, right? There are still four months left, so you must be prepared."
Juanlu nodded vigorously.
Then Alka looked at Xiadaiti and asked, "How is it, Xiadaiti, have you dealt with the treasures from before?"
Xia Daiti nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it was completely dealt with two months ago. This time, a total of 4,821 gold sails were harvested, which is a real huge sum of money."
Hearing about the harvest, Alka also showed a smile on his face. A large amount of money is the most primitive and direct source of happiness.
What a pity, all 4,000 of them will be used to deliver the ship's reconstruction work.
After Xia Daiti finished speaking, a bag of gold coins appeared in his hand.
The bag of gold coins is milky white, embroidered with intricate but beautiful patterns in gold thread, which looks extremely luxurious.
“The money is all here.”
Taking the bag of gold coins from Xiadaiti, Alka nodded.
This gold coin bag is also a space equipment, but it can only be used to hold currency.
The currencies here only include gold sails, silver snakes and bronze swallows. The currencies made by other forces themselves are not included in this category.
After all, these three currencies were jointly distributed by the Four Gods. It was said that they had existed since ancient times, but the Four Gods used them directly.
Therefore, it is real hard currency, which is said to represent the attribute of currency, and is very different from the currency made by various forces.
We can learn from the Archbishop and "Dreamland" that these three currencies are still used even in the Expanse.
These three currencies have even been used from ancient times to the present.
Alka picked up the bag of gold coins and shook it, and handfuls of gold coins appeared in his hand.
Since there were still more than 800 gold coins left, he needed to share the profits with Porro, Xiadaiti and Lucilia. Of course, he took the biggest share.
After all, when it comes to treasure hunting, Alka has the advantage and is the one who contributes the most.
After everyone had divided the money, Alka looked at everyone and said, holding up a bag of gold coins filled with 4,000 gold sails.
"The ship should be rebuilt. How about you guys? Are you interested in going to take a look together?"
Hearing this, everyone stood up. They had been looking forward to this ship for a long time, so of course they had to go along to see it.
A ship that truly belongs to them, and even their future home.
Not to mention that Alka had come back earlier and assured them that the ship basically met all the requirements they had previously raised.
This was something they themselves had not expected.
Because they themselves knew that their previous demands were somewhat outrageous.
"Then let's go everyone, let's go meet our new members."
At this, Alka smiled.
Everyone left the villa together and followed Alka all the way to the port where their spell ship was docked.
"What are you doing here?" Jason asked puzzled.
Aren't they
Hearing this question, Alka turned around and looked at him and explained, "Since the ship over there has been built, this one we picked up is naturally useless and must be sold. I also plan to put the Feiyan on that ship."
As he spoke, he boarded the ship with everyone else, controlled the sailboat to leave the berth, and went around the island to the shipyard at the rear.
As they arrived, Alka docked the ship at the berth next to the shipyard.
Following the shipyard staff, I went directly to the office where I had discussed the plan with Haiblog before.
The staff member who led them up knocked on the door.
"Come in." A somewhat old voice of Hai Blog came from inside.
Xia Daiti pushed the door open without any hesitation and walked in.
