Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 104: Unpredictable Things in the World
By the time Lu Bai had solidified his two abilities, there were already people waiting there outside.
The four horses and the scaly man were now as close as a family. They pulled Lu Bai to discuss the forging of the space deflection blade and the space storage belt.
"Also, your former companions have come to visit us."
Lu Bai was slightly stunned. He had just wanted to ask the four horses and the scaly man to go look for Yuhui, but he didn't expect that others would come looking for him first?
"No rush. This time I will most likely rest for a while on the zero floor of the Star Cave to sort out what I have gained during this period."
"During this period of time, I can refine a lot of weapons, and even teach one or two apprentices."
Lu Bai's words immediately brightened the eyes of the four horses and the scaly man, and then they became more enthusiastic towards Lu Bai.
The reason for making this promise is because Lu Bai also needs these people to do some things. At the same time, he also found that there are some problems with the zero-level spiritual machine, and he wants to get a large number of spiritual machines for research.
After getting Lu Bai's promise, the two groups immediately started preparing.
Lu Bai met that "companion" in a reception room in the suburbs.
It wasn’t Yuhui and the Bailin man who were navigating, but that wool.
The old cemetery expert who rediscovered his dream of exploring the Star Cave.
But at this moment, he did not look like he had before when he was trying to regain his dream.
He looked extremely embarrassed, his strength was extremely unstable, his aura was mixed, and he had solidified many abilities that were not so suitable.
He can almost be declared scrapped and no longer has the possibility of passing through the Star Cave.
Obviously, his awareness was only temporary. In the Star Cave, he was gradually overwhelmed by the powers that seemed to be suitable for him.
Most people don’t actually have the insight that Lu Bai has, and don’t see their own abilities clearly.
The influence of the origin on them is too great. When they come into contact with the right power, they will only feel powerful and in tune with it.
They don't even have the awareness of the harmony between the original and the driving force, or the stable cycle of the acquired and the innate.
When your energy becomes strong enough and you want to keep moving forward, but you find that you have no other options at all, you will be shocked to realize that you have unknowingly walked into a dead end.
But it's too late to regret now.
The same goes for wool.
Although he is an old hand at exploration and has rich experience, he is not so "experienced" when it comes to strength.
It was because of Lu Bai that he suddenly became rich overnight and had the opportunity to enter the Star Cave.
Before this, his understanding of the nature of power was really poor.
Many times, and this is the ending for most people, they don’t even understand why or how they were wrong.
"What do you want from me?" After Lu Bai looked at the wool, he stopped paying much attention and asked casually.
He is not surprised by the changes in wool, as they have existed in the past, exist today, and will exist in the future.
Lu Bai just happened to pass by this scenery with him, and he got the opportunity to enter the Star Cave because of this luck.
It's impossible that he can still blame Lu Bai for his current failure.
In fact, Mao Xian really felt a little resentful towards Lu Bai at the beginning.
If it weren't for Lu Bai, who suddenly made him a fortune, he might still be mining in the graveyard of the outer space station.
Then he gradually lost this so-called dream of the star cave, and after earning some money, he retired and returned to his hometown to live a peaceful life.
Instead of arriving at the Star Cave and gradually reaching a dead end.
But wool still has its merits.
He still broke free from this anger and then sought his own future.
Now, he could either go to the living area and wait for death after completely wasting his potential.
He had already inquired about it. Although the living area was relatively rich in resources and there was no need to worry about resource shortages there, there were also disasters that would befall people and cause them to slowly die.
Or they could join various exploration organizations outside the camp and become like gangsters, desperately trying to get inspiration and prolong their lives through it.
Or, maybe he could encounter an evacuation point inside the star cave and retain all his strength to complete the evacuation, but this is almost impossible.
After much thought, he decided to come find Lu Bai.
He had already found out that Lu Bai was capable of refining weapons and had good relations with some local organizations.
"I want to join this organization and gain some status." Mao Xian said, and quickly gave his chips: "I discovered a secret during my several adventures in the Star Cave."
"I……"
"You have the aura of a critical point. This secret might be related to the critical point, right?" Lu Bai's voice interrupted the other party's words.
In Lu Bai's eyes, the wool at this moment has completely lost all its value.
When he first entered the Star Cave, Yu Hui gradually lost his unique personality and was being forced by the enormous pressure from the outside world to become a law-abiding person.
After getting a windfall, wool activated his old dream and dug it out of the grave.
At that time, although everything about Yarn and his companions seemed "empty", their passion and enthusiasm were all based on that extra windfall.
However, Lu Bai was willing to reunite with them after their first adventure.
However, it was during that gathering that Lu Bai abandoned them.
On the one hand, the main reason was that Lu Bai had roughly explored some of the situations in the Star Cave. There would be no benefit in taking these people with him, and there was nowhere to take them.
On the other hand, these people have lost their enthusiasm and gradually become like everyone else.
In this situation, Lu Bai didn't want to continue taking risks with them.
Maybe some of them will come to their senses, but that will have nothing to do with Lu Bai anymore.
Mao Xian, who is in front of us, has not even fully come to his senses. He just realized that he was wrong, and then came to Lu Bai, ready to sell some information to help himself survive the rest of his life.
You are awake, but you probably haven't realized it.
Lu Bai looked at Mao Xian. The other party used to be mature and steady, and had rich experience in adventurous combat, but now he has become extremely nervous and does not seem to be the same person at all.
Especially after Lu Bai exposed his last "wealth", he became even more depressed.
"Then let me think about it."
"The critical alien demon is eroding the second layer?"
"That's true. On the second level of the Star Cave, the guardians correspond to the alliance from the outside world."
"Compared to the Empire, the mindsets within the Alliance are more changeable and more likely to attract critical demons."
"It seems that there is a big problem within the alliance. There are many alien demons lurking within it. Some of them have even become Star Cave adventurers in some way."
Lu Bai suddenly looked at the shocked Mao Xian and said, "You are surprised. It seems that you are just guessing about the invasion of the boundary. You don't know as much as I do."
"It's not so easy to get asylum from me with such news."
"I..." Mao Xian wanted to say something, but his voice gradually faded.
"But if you are looking for my protection, then you can do me a favor." However, things took a turn for the better and Lu Bai finally gave him a chance.
" Did ?"
"Can you still find Yuhui?"
Mao Xian was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Most of us are still in touch. After the adventure is completed, if we are all on the zero floor, we will get together."
“Sunset also attends occasionally, but he seems to be in the Star Cave recently.”
"Then find him and bring me his information, and you will get what you want." Lu Bai nodded, and then said, "Of course, I can tell you very clearly that this matter is very risky."
"You might need to take another chance!"
Lu Bai's words seemed to remind Mao Xian of something. In his memory, he had seen the afterglow two or three times after Lu Bai left.
And during those two or three meetings, Yu Hui's condition did seem very strange.
"I understand. I will go and find out his information." Mao Xian nodded, and he looked a little more like he used to be.
There are too many problems with his current abilities. If he enters the living area, he will just be waiting for death. If he joins the exploration organization, he will just be cannon fodder.
In the Star Cave, a skill is more important than anything else.
Yarn does have a skill, but his strength lies in taking risks.
But in the Star Cave, everyone is an adventurer, so his specialty is also the most useless one.
His only chance to spend his old age in peace now is precisely because of Lu Bai, who gave him that windfall.
After Mao Xian left, the white-scaled navigator came again.
But this time, he gradually changed and revealed a look that Lu Bai was familiar with.
"I guessed it was you." Lu Bai pulled the other person into his arms.
Yunhe did not resist at all and obediently threw herself into his arms, while smiling sweetly and wrapping her white tail around Lu Bai.
"I'm not hiding this on purpose, but I do have a mission when I came here this time." Yun He is also a traveler.
Although she became an exception, it does not mean that she no longer needs to travel.
On the contrary, Yunhe’s travel mission was most likely arranged by higher-ups.
This time, she disguised herself as a White Scale Man's navigator, seemingly accompanying Lu Bai into the Star Cave, but in fact she sneaked into the Star Cave in an inconspicuous way to complete the mission.
"About criticality?" Lu Bai asked briefly.
Yun He nodded and said no more.
It seems that this time the Star Cave is going to be exceptionally lively.
On the surface, there is a powerful force that is at the critical point of eroding the affiliated dimension of the Star Cave, and then further eroding a certain layer of the Star Cave.
In the inner layer, there are beings such as the Netherworld and the God of a Thousand Dimensions, who are planning carefully and preparing to make a big move.
Lu Bai expressed that he was looking forward to it very much.
