Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 2 Diary of a Mary Sue Girl (Part 2)
Tang Zheng's whole body was stiff, and the smile on his face looked as unnatural as possible.
In this world, there are many people who pretend to be cool and become idiots, but it is really rare to find people who act funny and become idiots. Unfortunately, he is one of them.
Tang Xiaotang looked at him curiously: "Master, your smile is like a goldfish that was taken out of the water and placed on the ground for three days and three nights."
Tang Zheng coughed: "Well... my brain is a little short of oxygen."
After leaving Leng Xiangyuan's cemetery, he actually always felt that something was wrong with that place and many things could not be explained.
For example, Leng Xiangyuan, a seven-star warrior, could only deal with chieftain-level monsters at most, but he fought dozens of battles with a monster king-level warrior, and finally, he sealed her in the underground of Feishi City.
His own strength is definitely not enough!
Now it seems that he might have used some method to borrow the power buried deep underground...
If Tang Zheng guessed correctly, the underground palace of Feishi City had already existed before the first year of Xingyao Calendar, and what was sealed inside was the power of the first generation of Star Lord!
Tang Zheng felt that the diary in his hand had become a little hot.
Although this diary cannot be used as conclusive evidence, it is 70% to 80% likely that the Underworld Palace was designed and built by Huangfu Xuanluo...
Now that so many casting masters on the Xingyao Continent are trying their best to introduce the Sun Main Star, Tang Zheng finally understands it completely.
The ingenious conception, meticulous and effortless casting skills displayed by the first Sun Star Lord Huangfu Xuanluo in the Underworld Palace can absolutely be described as exquisite workmanship.
No matter whether it was the casters from Bailian Workshop or Yaoshan Tribe, they would not be able to find any faults in that Underworld Palace.
The only one who could find fault was Tang Zheng - because he could see that the Underworld Palace, or the amusement park, was not finished.
He almost got stuck in the game because of a bug because it was not finished.
"In other words, this diary was written by the first generation Lord of the Sun Star?" After Tang Zheng was 70% to 80% sure about this matter, he no longer considered why such soft pure purple gold thread was used to bind the diary without worrying about the problem of it breaking.
Huangfu Xuanluo is the Lord of the Sun Star, and when it comes to the use of materials...she is very casual.
Tang Zheng glanced at Tang Xiaotang. She did not continue to joke with Tang Zheng, and it was obvious that she no longer cared about the "third-rate novel" in Tang Zheng's hand.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Tang Xiaotang was holding a large map in her hand. Seeing Tang Zheng's face changing, she couldn't help but ask again.
"Hmm... nothing." Tang Zheng touched his chin and asked, "Xiaotang, show me the necklace you brought out of the Hades Palace."
"Why do you suddenly want to see this?" Tang Xiaotang did not hesitate. She took off the necklace from her neck and handed it to Tang Zheng carefully.
The engraved pendant, which was made with a lost craft, is now priceless in Xingyao Continent. If someone else wanted to see it, Tang Xiaotang would definitely not hand it over.
However, she had no doubts about Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng gathered a trace of solar star power and gently covered it...
"No... this is not An Ke." Tang Zheng confirmed his guess, said it silently in his heart, and then shook his head.
There are only three types of carving techniques known to the Star Pattern Formation: dark carving, clear carving, and relief carving.
Among them, relief is the most common and the worst type. The array pattern is carved directly on the surface of the substrate. With the passage of time and wear, the effect of the array pattern will become worse and worse.
However, items like Tang Zheng's purple jade true phoenix pendant and Tian Meng's jade pendant were both carved in the Qing Dynasty. This process is much more complicated as the array grooves must first be carved on the base material and then the array is formed with purple gold.
As for the hidden engraving, it is like the Yuhua Seal and the necklace in Tang Xiaotang's hand. It does not destroy the base material, does not dig grooves on the base material, but directly penetrates the array pattern into the base material...
When Tang Xiaotang got the necklace, everyone thought it was secretly engraved when they saw the workmanship.
However, when Tang Zheng took a closer look, he realized that it was not!
Although his casting skills were of similar level, he had at least gotten into the basics. He was very clear about the star power fluctuations left by the engraving of the formation. Until the effect of the formation dissipated, that special star power fluctuation would not dissipate.
But Tang Xiaotang's necklace can make the star tides in her body surge when she cultivates star power, but Tang Zheng did not detect any star power fluctuations on it.
In other words…
The pendant of the necklace is pure natural!
The array patterns were also formed naturally.
"The best casting is... no casting?" Tang Zheng returned the necklace to Tang Xiaotang, thinking silently.
If this is the case, he may have an additional way to learn the formation, because the original formation may not be designed by humans, but formed naturally.
The wonders of nature have an even more awe-inspiring power.
"Master, do you really not need to pay more attention to the Star-Seeking Tower?" Tang Xiaotang had already read the experience of entering the tower given by Leng Buchen and others three or four times, but Tang Zheng only glanced at it hurriedly and did not study it carefully at all.
Although Tang Xiaotang's eyes still contained the smile from when she was amused by the diary of the Mary Sue girl, there was more seriousness and... nervousness.
Tang Zheng rarely saw Tang Xiaotang this nervous. It seemed that he had only seen it three times since he arrived at Xingyao Continent.
The first time was when the five-star expert from Yinlan Villa came to Tangjiabao with the power to cause changes in heaven and earth. The second time was when she and all the other warriors waiting for the exam stood in the square of Yisu Academy. The third time is now.
"In terms of preparations for the Star-Seeking Tower, we are already lagging behind other academies." Tang Xiaotang said in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Tang Zheng's fingers flipped the diary unconsciously, and he looked up. "Isn't the Star-Seeking Tower an experience copy? Oh no, what I mean is, from the strategy given by Leng Buchen and the others, entering the Star-Seeking Tower is to figure out which main star is the most compatible with you, and...how to get benefits from it."
The reason why Tang Zheng didn't look too carefully at what Leng Buchen gave him was because he took a quick glance and felt that it was not as good as The Diary of a Mary Sue Girl.
Tang Xiaotang stroked his forehead and said, "Are you thinking too simply? It's all a free lunch?"
"Isn't it?"
"That's not true! Every year, about 20% of the warriors from the aristocratic academies who enter the Star-Seeking Tower just wander around inside, and come out still confused and have not figured out anything."
"Okay..." Tang Zheng smiled and nodded to Tang Xiaotang , "What you said makes sense, just continue watching. When we get in, you can explain it to me!"
"Master!" Tang Xiaotang completely gave up on treating him.
…
Tang Zheng's gaze once again fell on what Tang Xiaotang considered a "third-rate novel", but this time he flipped through it more carefully and read it more seriously.
He now truly understood that sometimes, treating something as a joke is not because it is really a joke, but simply because of his ignorance.
It has been more than half a year since I came to Xingyao Continent.
As he became more and more integrated into this world, his emotions became more and more relaxed, but in fact, if he grew up in Xingyao Continent, just like Tang Xiaotang, he might have known Huangfu Xuanluo's identity directly in the Hades Palace.
If that's the case, a game with bugs...he can get a lot more.
Tang Zheng sighed with regret, and turned the diary in his hand to the battle with a snake demon just now...
Most of Huangfu Xuanluo's diary was not actually recorded on that day, because the tone was very casual, as casual as shopping for clothes, so it was normal for Tang Zheng to misunderstand it as a novel.
After the battle with the snake demon, there were no new records for a long time.
Judging from the records of the battle process, Huangfu Xuanluo might have been injured, so only this short paragraph was written and nothing further was written.
And when she wrote again, it was already a different matter...
"Today, we encountered the strongest enemy. They are not alone. Each of them is very weak, but when they come together, they show a strength we have never seen before. They are the shame of our human race, but they have also become the biggest obstacle for us to defeat the Great Demon God Emperor."
"The Half-Demon Corps... they don't even have an official name, so we can only call them the Half-Demon Corps. Ah Lin said that they can form a very unified star power fluctuation. Because that kind of fluctuation is so unified, a square formation of half-demons can be equivalent to a four-star or even five-star warrior, and three square formations working together can face a seven-star warrior head-on..."
"The compatibility between us humans and the star power, plus the reproduction ability of the demon race... We are really in big trouble this time, but we will not stop! The good news is that Huahua broke through last night, and A-Lin has another star master by his side. In contrast, the demon race has lost another power that can be used."
"But I miss A Ce...it would be great if he could survive."
Tang Zheng's hand stopped again. He originally thought that he could finish reading such a thin diary in one day and take it with him to kill time on the road. However, he did not expect that the more carefully he read it, the more he felt that he could not finish it - the amount of information in it was really too much .
Half-demons cannot practice cultivation - this is almost a rule recorded in the Star Code.
There is a huge difference between humans and demons in the structure of star veins, so the offspring of the two cannot ignite demon fires or introduce star seeds. They have very obvious human characteristics, as well as indelible demon characteristics...
There are two half-demons around Tang Zheng, the little fox girl Daji, and Ning Mo's sister's son, Ling Jianing.
However, Huangfu Xuanluo's diary clearly recorded the powerful force of the half-demon army!
In other words, Daji and Ling Jianing, who were beside him, actually had hope of practicing?
