章 1: The Commonly Used Spells Trading Center
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a small shop in the outer city of Star 2, city No. 3, some old signboards were hanging on the door frame. Although they were a little faded, they had been wiped clean. The words "Commonly Used Spells Trading Center" were written on the signboards. A red seal was printed on the lower right corner of the signboard. The light on the red seal said, "Star 2's seal".
Sunlight shone through the glass into the small shop. The owner of the small shop, Zhou Ji, held a pen in his hand and sat behind the hearse, writing and drawing on a notebook. There was a small bed beside him. A petite figure was lying on the bed, taking a nap.
"So, in this way, I can guarantee the second release of the soaring spell in the air?" He muttered and carefully thought over every word in the notebook in front of him.
"Boss, my colleague said that you have an improved 'shifting spell' here..." A middle-aged man pushed the door open and walked in. His face was dark, and his skin was very rough after working in the open air all year round.
"One crystal. The book is here. Record your breath first. The cultivation room is at the back. Take the book and go in." Zhou Ji didn't even raise his head. He took out a small booklet from under the counter. The edge of the booklet was already curled up, it seemed that it had been through a lot of hands. "It's only limited to one hour. After one hour, you will be charged five points for every half hour you stay. If it's less than half an hour, you will be charged for half an hour. If it's more than half an hour, you will be charged one hour."
As he spoke, Zhou Ji had already pushed a small machine to the other side. The machine was flat, and there was a protrusion the size of a palm on it.
The middle-aged man skillfully pressed his palm on it and channeled his aura into it.
A screen appeared above the machine, showing the middle-aged man's detailed information and lifelike portrait.
Zhou Ji waved the booklet in his hand on the machine, and the screen refreshed, a line of words was added to the details of the man's experience:
New Year's Day, 182nd year, 582,8th day of the 8th month, 1523 hours, 23 seconds.
He purchased the learning spell 'Power Shift Spell' from the common spell exchange office at 22 Huangding 8th Street in the city No. 3.
Spell Creator: Zhou Ji. S
hop registration: Zhou Ji.
Cost: 1 + * * crystals.
Then, he saw the "Balance" column in the front of the man's information, where the number of 22.3 jumped down to 21.3.
"Hurry up, the timer has started." Zhou Ji saw that the man hadn't moved yet, so he reminded him again.
"Oh, okay. Boss, is your spell really useful? Do you want to use the same amount of energy to move more things?" The man hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke.
"Nonsense! This is a proper shop, and it sells proper spells. Even the city spell supervisor has checked it!" Zhou Ji glared at the man and directly slammed the book on the table. "Learn it or not!"
Seeing Zhou Ji's anger, the man did not dare to say anything more. He quickly took the booklet and walked to the back.
Due to the restrictions on the circulation of spells, the spells sold in all the spell shops could only be provided for the customers to learn and practice on the spot and could not be brought out. Moreover, the spells commonly used in the market could only be used. For example, cultivation techniques, as well as cultivation and killing techniques, belonged to the category of restrictions.
"Daddy, you're swearing again."
Zhou Ji had just come back to his senses and was about to continue changing the spell on his hand when he heard a soft and soft voice, which was obviously just waking up, coming from the side.
He revealed a smile as if his face had changed, and he said to the little girl who had just climbed up from the bed behind the bier, whose hair was still messy, and said, "No, Xiao Rui, didn't I say that I'm not swearing? For example, I'm your father, right?"
"You're the daddy, not me."
The little girl looked like she was only three or four years old, which was a very adorable age. But if one paid attention, one would notice that her eyes were gray and without any spirit.
"Haha, that's just a catchphrase." Zhou Ji smiled and changed the topic. "Xiao Rui, are you awake? Do you want to drink some water?"
Zhou Ji waved his hand casually. On the small dining table behind the bier, which was covered by a curtain, a glass cup with a colorful sky painted on it flew over and landed accurately in his hand.
This was the elementary level Object Control Spell. It was a common spell in daily life. It could only control the movement of some small objects. Of course, the corresponding spell was the offensive object control spell. That kind of spell was a control spell.
After receiving the cup, Zhou Ji's finger swiped again, and a ball of clear water the size of a cup appeared in the air. With a splash, it fell into the cup, reaching just one-third of the cup's mouth.
This was the clear water technique.
In this world where cultivation was widespread, the standard of spells was very high. There were those that were specially used for cultivation. From low to high, they were divided into four levels according to the Cultivation Technique Scripture. Generally, the names were all so-and-so techniques, so-and-so records, and so on. For example, the cultivation technique "Essence Absorption Technique" that was commonly used by the residents of planet Baiyi was classified as the lowest level cultivation technique.
There were also techniques and spells mentioned earlier. Techniques were offensive techniques, while spells were commonly used techniques. Their levels were also included in the names: Basic, elementary, advanced, and top level. If there were no levels in the general name, then it would be assumed to be the initial level.
Other than that, there was also a type of technique known as "secret technique". It was actually divided into secret techniques, secret scrolls, and secret treasures, which corresponded to low, middle, and high level techniques. They were all used to break through. To break through from the refinement realm to the foundation establishment realm, one needed a "Foundation Establishment Secret Scroll".
These secret techniques were also restricted in circulation. If there were people in the refinement realm who wanted to break through to the foundation establishment realm, they would have to pay a high fee and go through layer after layer of scrutiny before they could cultivate. The high fee alone excluded most of the ordinary people.
Zhou Ji was also one of those people.
Xiao Rui was obedient and sensible. She did not cry when she just woke up. She took the cup of water from Zhou Ji's hand, sat on the small bed, and gulped it down. Then, she wiped her mouth and fumbled to get out of bed and put on her shoes, she turned around and made her bed.
At the side, Zhou Ji silently watched his daughter do these things. After she turned around and fumbled to leave, he reached out to tidy up a few neglected areas on the bed.
"Daddy, did I not tidy it up again?"
Although there was something wrong with her eyes, Xiao Rui's other senses were very sensitive.
Hearing this, Zhou Ji smiled lightly. "You are still young. You will get better after you get used to it."
"Daddy, you should tell me next time where it's not neat, and then I'll do it again. That's more like it. I have to rely on myself too."
Zhou Ji couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. were all the children in this world so well-developed in language? A three or four-year-old girl's logic was really clear.
This world, yes, to Zhou Ji, he felt that he was a soul from another world called Earth. In his previous life, he worked late one day and fainted in front of the computer. When he opened his eyes again, he was already a little baby in front of an orphanage.
This world was very different from the world that Zhou Ji lived in. The core of this world was cultivation. The basic energy was spiritual essence, not technology and electricity.
There were also great similarities. For example, the language used. When Zhou Ji was learning as a child, he discovered that the universal language of this world was actually a kind of ideogram, and the language logic was very similar to what he used in his previous life.
Of course, there was also life. Looking at the rotating fan blades in the air, then looking at the bright glass that shone with the afternoon sun, as well as the cement buildings outside... and the television on the small table opposite the spiritual platform... Oh, no, it should be called the spiritual curtain. These were called "Spirit Technology Products" in this world, and the full name was "Spirit Essence Application Technology Invention Product." .
"Daddy, you're in a daze again."
Zhou Ji's lamentation had not ended when a small hand that was waving back and forth in front of him pulled him back.
He smiled. "I'm just thinking. After all, to improve a spell, I still need to think more."
"You're just in a daze..." Xiao Rui pouted and muttered. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Daddy, is it almost 3:30? Little Fairy is going to start soon."
Zhou Ji turned his head and looked at the time on the clock. It was 3:25.
"Yes, it's almost 3:30. I'll open the spiritual screen for you." As he spoke, Zhou Ji raised his hand again, and a stream of spiritual essence flew out. It channeled the box-like spiritual screen, and with a whoosh, the screen lit up, the voice also came from within.
"This station news, the Southern Federation will open a new batch of clan academies today, providing free training to the citizens who are qualified after primary education..."
"... the latest news says that the Southern Federation's Star Field Planning Department is currently being surrounded by demonstrators. They believe that the southern federation is only using the reason of the lack of spiritual energy and resources to carry out destructive mining of the newly discovered planet, as well as the destruction of the intelligent civilization on the surface of the planet, is Inhuman, and is a massacre."
"... This newspaper reports that the Southern Federation's interstellar development team has arrived at the center of the unexplored galaxy. Currently, we can observe that a new star habitable zone is still 100 light years away. It is estimated that it will take 132 years to arrive."
Zhou Ji looked at the familiar image on the spiritual screen and his eyelids twitched.
Was that the Solar System?!
