Chapter 3880 Companion Star Lake
Amidst the neon lights and projections, under the rain and floating lights, the ring train speeds past, passing between the buildings.
Ingres sat in the empty carriage, looking out the window silently.
Although he seemed to be looking at the scenery, his attention was actually entirely on the text column.
Furthermore, his eyes were fixed on the column of energy points in the text column.
Gleipnir was checking the accounts, and he was also checking the accounts, and the accounts they were checking were the consumption of energy points.
He felt that something was not right.
According to the records in the magic book, using the Potential Eye once will consume 20 energy points. He has used it twice so far, consuming 40 energy points.
He had used the signal capture ability of the space-time radio station once before and captured one person and two objects. The resonance of the objects and the person with a story cost 15 energy points each time they were used, which made 45 energy points in total.
That is, a total of 85 energy points were consumed, but when he reconciled the accounts, he found that only 75 energy points were deducted in the end.
This made Ingres a little confused, so he started to compare the accounts.
After a while.
Ingres clicked on the book pages of Style Eye and Time Radio, and finally found the reason from the sub-pages.
Every magic puzzle and every fashion monster has its own way to restore energy points and increase the energy limit.
The way for Style Eye to restore energy points is to appreciate various works of art. When encountering extremely excellent works of art, there is a chance that the upper limit of Style Points will be increased.
This method of restoring energy points through appreciating art is actually a general method of improving "style eye".
And because of the hidden ability of "Potential Eye" in Angel's Style Eye puzzle, a more detailed method of increasing energy points has been derived, that is - every successful use of Potential Eye can increase the upper limit of energy points by 1; if the comprehensive potential level of the identified object exceeds five stars, then an additional 5 points of consumption will be restored.
With this calculation, Angel used the Potential Eye on Com and the doorman once each, and the upper limit of their energy points increased by 2. Although it only increased the upper limit, it actually restored the consumed energy points.
In addition, Com's potential exceeded five stars, and five points of consumption were restored, so the total consumption of his Potential Eye was 40 energy points, but due to the mechanism, it actually only consumed 33 energy points.
The Time Radio also has similar means of increasing and restoring energy points. For example, every time an item with strong emotions resonates with it, the energy point limit will be increased by 1.
Each time you use a person with a story, the energy point limit will be increased by 1 point.
Before, Angel used it three times, so it consumed 3 energy points. And because the upper limit was increased by 45 points, the corresponding points would be restored when the upper limit was increased, which was equivalent to consuming 3 energy points.
Adding this together with the consumption of Potential Eye, the total is 75 energy points.
After Anger found the reason, he was relieved. The more the account was wrong, the more anxious he became. He had thought that something was wrong, but now that he knew the truth, he was naturally relieved.
However, after reading about how Style Eye and Time Radio increase the upper limit of energy points, he felt that this method of increasing the upper limit seemed quite simple.
As long as he keeps using it, he can continuously increase the upper limit. This is much easier than taking the trouble to film variety shows for others to watch.
But after Ingres learned more about it, he realized that he had misunderstood.
Successfully using Potential Eyes or Story Resonance can increase the energy point limit by 1, but at the low-level magician stage, the upper limit for each is only 100 points.
In other words, even if he continued to use these two abilities to increase the energy point limit, he could only increase it by 200 energy points at most.
If you want to continue to rely on these two abilities to increase the upper limit of your energy points, you can only continue to improve after breaking through to the intermediate magician level.
If you want to increase the energy point limit infinitely, you can only use the most basic method.
For example, the puzzle pieces of the heat series: the heat of public opinion and the audience’s feedback can restore and enhance the heat points.
Another example is the puzzle of the style series: creating a stronger and more distinct style, or appreciating the corresponding style, can restore and increase style points.
Only this basic method can improve without restrictions. However, the speed of this improvement is often slow, and it is not as fast as using the ability to directly increase the upper limit.
……
After learning that using abilities could directly increase the energy point limit, Angel has been paying attention to the energy points.
Be prepared to use Potential Eye every time you recover to 20 points.
Until the upper limit of 100 points is reached, then story resonance will be used instead.
Because variety shows were being broadcast all the time in Rabbit Town, Angel's energy points recovered very quickly. After all, "recovering blue" was definitely much easier than raising the "blue limit".
By the time the train arrived at East District 19, the energy points had been restored to 50.
When getting off the train, Angel casually threw a potential eye to each of the two train attendants. The highest potential of both was one star, and there was not even any comment.
Sure enough, doormen like the one just now who had the potential to be three stars might be a minority.
Angel shook his head and left the platform.
The East Nineteenth District is almost close to the edge of the Modern City dungeon. There are almost no tall buildings here, only low houses.
The only building with more than 20 floors was built as a platform for the city's circular train.
When he thought of the large number of low, scattered bungalows, Angle was reminded of the slums in the North Ninth District.
But the East 19th District is not a slum, but rather an upper-middle class residential area, or even a wealthy area.
Because although the houses here are low, they are almost all villas.
Many people with a little bit of money are willing to come to East District 19 to buy land and build villas. The reason is very simple. East District 19 is a rare pure natural green area in the entire Modern City.
Although the roadsides in other areas are lined with flowers, plants and trees, 80% of them are fake scenes projected by holographic projections.
In the East 19th District, although the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside are sparse, all the plants are real plants. In addition, there is a vast lake in the East 19th District. The lake water reflects the lush forests, which can be called an oxygen bar in the city. Naturally, it attracts the rich people in the city.
Even if they don't live here on a regular basis, they are willing to buy a villa here for vacation.
But for Ingres, the "natural style" of the East 19th District is a bit unattractive. Compared with this place, he personally appreciates the urban scenery with tall buildings, neon lights and projections.
After entering the East 19th District, Angel naturally cast a layer of illusion on himself, and then stepped into the long street moistened by the drizzle.
Although the East 19th District is basically a wealthy area, there are still class divisions.
The best area is near the lakeshore, where there is an artificial barrier that covers the entire lake. There are also custom-made purifiers in the lake to prevent the water from being polluted by acid rain.
Angel could even see from a distance that there was a holographic projection speaking words on the lakeshore, introducing that the lake water here could even be drunk directly.
This is to attract buyers.
Other areas do not receive this treatment. Only in areas with dense trees are there some barriers and some acid-proof cloth is laid on the ground.
But even so, these areas can attract buyers.
The real estate treatment here can be said to be second only to the central area in the modern city.
Angel had only walked half a street when he saw several real estate agencies.
Along the long street, Ingres walked all the way to the barrier area.
The pavement of the street is mostly original, with no projections of holographic trees and no ground lights, making it pitch black all the way.
It was not until we entered the barrier area that we saw more street lights around us.
A moment later, Angel arrived at Companion Lake.
Companion Star Lake is the largest lake in East District 19. The reason why it is named "Companion Star" is because after nightfall, a projection of the starry sky will appear on the sky barrier, and the reflection on the water surface is like a moon and a companion star.
But the real reason is that the consortium behind the land developer of the Banxing Lake Villa District is the Banxing Group.
Under the name of Ruyuebanxing, he flattered the Banxing Group.
However, it must be said that Modern City has achieved the ultimate in visual art marketing. The starry sky dome above the companion lake, projected onto the water, does give a dreamy feeling of swaying shadows and stars.
Standing on the shore of the lake, Ingres also felt the beauty of light and shadow created by man.
However, the starry sky dome will not be open all the time. It will close at six in the morning every day, and it is not far from six o'clock now.
Angel randomly chose a bench by the lake and sat down, silently waiting for the moment when the starry sky dome would close, because six o'clock was exactly the time when the underwater church would approach the modern city.
……
Angel then planned to go to the underwater church to meet the half-human, half-puppet, and open the dark corner copy at the same time.
The area where the underwater church is located is exactly below the Companion Lake.
Thinking of this, Ingres opened the text column and looked through a previous message from Wonderland.
"Congratulations, you have completed the side quest 'The Lost Knight'."
After Angel met Ms. Zoe and learned the whole truth from her, the "Disappearing Knight" mission was finally completed.
The rewards are pretty good, one puzzle piece of any series (medium), and three puzzle pieces of any series (small).
But the most important thing is that after completing this task, it does not show as finished, but a new side quest is automatically accepted.
"Side quest "Step into the dream and see the truth"."
"Mission Overview: As the bishop of the Dark Corner Cult, Zoe knows more secrets than you can imagine. It was from her that you learned that within the seemingly peaceful Modern City, there is a dark, floating body of water, and within that unknown body of water lurks a special entity from the Dark Corner."
"Mission objective: reach the hidden waters and find the entity from the dark corner. And find a way to get into the dark corner from it."
"Known clues: 1. The hidden waters will periodically approach and move away from the Modern City, and this cycle is 2 hours. 3. At six o'clock in the morning, someone heard a faint singing voice by the Companion Lake, and the singing seemed to come from underwater. 4. The special entity in the hidden waters can communicate, but the premise is that you have to understand what it says. 5. The hidden waters will periodically refresh some supplies and special materials, and perhaps there will be materials related to the special entity. . The method to enter the dark corner is hidden on the special entity."
This is the new mission that Angel has accepted.
Although no clear answer is given, it can be inferred from known clues that the location of the secret waters is likely to open at six in the morning, and the opening location is the Companion Star Lake.
That's why Angel came to the Companion Lake specifically to wait for the secret waters to open.
From the known clues, we can also know that the half-human, half-dummy is a special entity, and it seems to have intelligence and can communicate. But the clues also clearly mention that the prerequisite for communication is to understand its language.
What if you don’t understand its language?
That might be the special materials mentioned in clue 4.
What are the special supplies? Is it a translator? Or a code book for translation? The former is fine, but the latter means that I have to learn a new language from scratch?
Learning a language takes more than a day or two.
Personally, Angle thinks that he might lean towards the former.
Because Alfred had entered the Dark Corner through this special entity before. It's impossible for Alfred to stay in the underwater church and learn a new language before entering the Dark Corner, right?
There must be a convenient method, but we will have to wait until we reach the secret waters to know what the specific method is.
In addition to the information hidden in the clues, Angel was also very concerned about the name of this mission...
"Step into the dream and see the truth."
The entire mission overview, mission objectives, and clues given did not mention any elements of "fantasy" or "reality".
But the name of the mission was this, which made Angel very curious.
Where do illusions and reality meet?
According to the information previously obtained from Abigail, the "Moon Eye" behind the Dark Corner Cult is most likely a huge entity called the "Phantom Moon Eye" of the Dark Corner.
The Fantasy Moon Eye is located in a level called "Fantasy Moonlight Sea".
"The Moonlight Sea of Fantasy..." Angel murmured in a low voice, with a gleam in his eyes: "Could it be that the fantasy in the mission actually refers to the Moonlight Sea of Fantasy?"
If this is true, doesn't it mean that once he steps into the dark corner, he will arrive at this "dreamlike moonlight sea"?
In other words, is it possible for him to face a giant entity called the "Phantom Moon Eye"?
Angel frowned and put this possibility aside for the time being: There is currently a guess about the issue of "illusion", so what does "reality" refer to?
Ingres pondered for a moment, and finally chose to give up thinking.
Maybe you will know everything once you enter the dark corner.
It’s still a bit far-fetched to consider these now.
Angel glanced at the time displayed on the text bar. It was now half past five, and there was still half an hour until six o'clock.
It’s just right, I can take advantage of this time to continue to increase the energy point limit.
As Angel was thinking this, he saw a woman in pajamas coming out of a villa not far away, yawning and walking towards the lake.
Angel didn't hesitate and threw a potential eye directly at her.
