Chapter 3 Preliminary Exploration of Gold Finger
"That was definitely not a dream."
Li Ke felt the energy in his body and was very sure of this.
Although the energy in his body was very weak, only one tenth of the energy in his 'dream', he was sure that the reason he was able to slash the candle flame out of the attack range just now was because of Arad's energy.
It was not magic or something like that, but the "qi" that was created by the fusion of the warrior's spiritual will and his own vitality. It sounded like magic, but it was different.
Magic is a power possessed by qualified people, while Qi is a power that anyone can cultivate. As long as your heart is still beating, as long as you can still breathe, as long as your life still exists, then after hard practice, you can learn Qi.
As for magic, if there is no magic, there is no magic.
"But why is it the continent of Arad? Is it because they are all Penguin games? And if it is not a simulator system, why can I have such a 'dream'? Is it some kind of power of my own?"
Li Ke sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about what his "golden finger" was.
If it was a system, although there was a risk , it was simple and easy to use. But his was obviously not a system, but an ability of his.
So, what is the mechanism of action, how to activate it, and what are the drawbacks?
"... Elder Suma said that the doctor diagnosed me as long-term overwork, and I clearly felt mental exhaustion when I woke up. So the consumption of activating this ability is likely to be my life force and mental strength."
"But what's interesting is that when my life in there ended, I gained more vitality, which increased my strength, but the mental exhaustion was not compensated. On the contrary, the sudden increase in memory made me even more drowsy. My head still hurts now, as if I hadn't slept for a whole day and night."
Li Ke clenched his fists, and the strength in his hands made him realize that the dream and the warm current were not his illusions. He had indeed become stronger because of a "dream".
"Traveling through the world seems to be like the simulator in the novel. It doesn't feel real in a dream, and it feels more like watching a movie or reading a diary... But at the end, the memories and various abilities that are transmitted are real."
Recalling the various techniques of controlling Qi in his memory, Li Ke felt very regretful.
The teacher in his dream was not very strong. He only taught him some techniques of sword fighting and some techniques of using Qi to strengthen the body. As for those moves that sounded so cool?
sorry, we do not have that.
His teacher's motto was 'A swordsman's life is to chop and chop again! Can't chop to death? Then change to a bigger sword, use your ki to strengthen your body, and chop again!'
So when Li Ke thought of the swordsmanship "school" in his dream, he couldn't help but cover his face.
The philosophy of the sword-fighting style that I learned in my dream was simple: faster speed, stronger power, and more endurance.
The idea is that as long as I am faster than you, as long as I am stronger than you, as long as I can last longer than you, then I can win. It is quite simple and crude.
It seemed like a return to basics, but Li Ke knew very well why the swordsmanship style he practiced was like this:
The poverty of money means that there is no time to practice special skills, and the limited talents make it impossible to come up with genius ideas.
Commonly known as a second-rate swordsman!
"So, how do we control it? And how will it affect the lives inside? If I want to live my life in peace, will I just be a civilian inside?"
Tapping his knees with his fingers, Li Ke recalled all the changes in his previous "dream". If there was anything special about that time, it was that his mentality was in a state of unwillingness and desire.
Longing for a stronger body, stronger qualifications, and more time for practice.
eager……
Become stronger.
"Well, let's try again."
Sitting cross-legged, Li Ke placed the sword on his knees and entered a state of meditation.
He kept recalling his own fears, which filled his heart with thoughts of living a peaceful life and made him increasingly long for a peaceful modern life.
Just when his emotions reached a critical point, he finally felt a different impulse.
The vitality was being drained, and the spiritual power was also being absorbed by that "point". An illusory hole opened in Li Ke's mind, and an inexplicable attraction came from it.
His mind became drowsy due to the drain of his mental power, and he almost fainted. He also felt a little weak after his vitality was drained, but compared to the drain of his mental power, it was not serious.
"Do you need my spiritual strength more than my life force?"
With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Ke suppressed the urge to enter the hole and just put his mental strength into it to see what would happen.
Then something interesting happened.
After absorbing a certain amount of mental power and vitality, the void became saturated, and Li Ke's consciousness suddenly flew out of his body and came to an inexplicable and mysterious world.
This world was like a river, and he himself was in a small tributary, rising and falling with the waves. Suddenly, he felt something and saw a ball of light rushing towards a branch in the distance.
An inexplicable feeling made him realize that it was the breath and vitality that had differentiated from himself.
And when the light rushed into the river, a huge feeling of rejection suddenly hit Li Ke's spirit and knocked him out of this world.
The next moment, another warm current appeared out of nowhere, and a memory also attacked Li Ke's brain, making him feel the pain all over his body again.
The memory that suddenly appeared was very different from the previous one.
In this life, he is a resident born in a small country in the modern world, and has listened to stories about the battles between lurkers and defenders since childhood.
He also personally experienced several battles between lurkers and defenders.
But he did not join them, instead he became a surgeon to enable himself to live a good life in the modern world.
Life was peaceful until one day, when he received a strange patient. While he was treating this patient, he suddenly died. When he was at a loss, he was bitten by the patient who suddenly jumped up, and then...
Then he died.
Covering his head, Li Ke was exhausted from mental exhaustion and the extracted memories. Although some vitality came back this time to make up for the vitality he had consumed and even had some extra, the mental exhaustion was not made up. Instead, some of it was consumed again because of the acquired memories.
This made him want to fall asleep and use sleep to restore his energy.
But the stories in his memory really made him want to complain.
"Defenders, lurkers, and patients who died and suddenly resurrected... So I went to the world of Crossfire this time?"
Li Ke felt a headache, his impression of CrossFire was only the dream of 300 million primary school students. And this way, he had to explore more areas in this "simulator".
But there is good news.
Because his guess was correct!
His thoughts before he starts the simulation can affect his choices in the simulation! And the world he simulates!
