Chapter 8: . The first period of residence (1)

"Congratulations on the return of parasite No. A-671! You have obtained the first temporary residence permission, please check!"
what?
The tingling brain twitched, the stiff nerves mixed with the stagnation of blood, and the original content tried to open the extremely tired eyes. The eyes were dark.
Where is this...
I……
He painfully supported his brain, and the fragmented memories were pieced together reluctantly from the bottom of the box.
I am original, I am A(ZS)-671, I am...parasite of the earth.
On January 1, 2018, a voice appeared in all human minds: "Hello, parasite."
This is an indescribable feeling. Abrupt, weird, but it seems reasonable.
But one thing can be reached: something is wrong.
People are terrified, and the government is unable to draw conclusions. Various expert research institutes are urgently studying...
Three days later, it was gray.
As desperate as the moment before the dawn that never came again, and as sad as before the dusk that never stopped, the ruined desolate crow gray blinded the whole sky. The next second, a black circle appeared on the man's neck out of thin air, like dark rotted blood floating outside the blood vessel, and also like the most fierce and most filthy thing. Touching the black circle, the human consciousness disappeared.
Yuan Rong woke up in his bed.
He seemed to have slept for a long time. He supported his stiff upper body against the already dusty head of the bed and looked hard at the watch on the bedside table: January 13th.
He slept for eight days.
eight days?
The original appearance was shocked, he couldn't care about his stiffness, he stumbled out of bed and pulled open the curtains, and the dilapidated sky outside was like a sleep, and the street was still like a dead city. The nerves that had been evacuated for a long time squeezed sharply, and he fell back to the bed, struggling to think.
Isn't he dead? Didn’t he go to the
Master Plane
after his death, and then... what kind of divine personality did he get, do various missions to save the small world, get the gift of world gifts to upgrade the divine personality, then become a god, and then override the law? He clearly remembered the last world where he met the "reason" whose "Master Plane" was similar to his "Luo Shen". Although the two initially had some contradictions, they later found that they got along very well. They resolved the SE-3 incident and ended the world.
Yes, he successfully stepped into the pillar of law and then...
Wake up.
Hear the crisp mechanical sound he once heard: Congratulations on the return of parasite number A (ZS)-671, you have obtained the first temporary residence permission, please check.
He fell suddenly and crawled to the bathroom, looking at the bathroom mirror: the terrified teenager was looking at him.
In the past, the dark and calm eyes under the black eyelashes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and the small white face like jade was pale and lifeless, and the neck was like a black circle with a rotten atmosphere like a prisoner.
Is this... reality.
The man in the mirror looked at him sadly and weeping as if to say save me.
Yuan Rong touched his neck, a strange consciousness swept through—
"Hello A(ZS)-671, I am a parasite surveillance program, can I help you?"
The sound is like a tarsal maggot lurking in my head. Yuanrong took a deep breath: "My previous... what is the main plane?"
"That was your first residency qualification test, congratulations on your passing."
"Residence permission test?" Yuan Rong was incredible, "Where do you live?"
"It's the world you are in," the voice lightened up. "There is still a period of time before the second residence qualification test starts. At the beginning, the program will notify you; before then, you can enjoy your time in peace and happiness. "
Yuanrong couldn't keep up with this sudden set of settings: "I'm going through a test? Do you mean you need qualifications to live?"
"Yes," the program answered him sensibly and as if talking about vegetable prices. "The world consciousness is awake. Your parasites are the products of the world consciousness before it allowed to live. It has greatly interfered with the world's living environment, but the world still pity the parasites. Safety and security, therefore opened the residence permission test."
Hara turned on the faucet and poured himself water to calm himself. He flipped out the towel dullly and wiped every drop of water on his hand, feeling the water running across his skin, which relieved his tight nerves a lot.
water?
By the way, can I still manipulate the water?
Thinking this way, Yuan Rong closed his eyes and tried to feel the water in the air that was once controlled by his belongings, and he saw a small drop of water appear in his hand the next second.
is acceptable? Yuan Rong quickly looked at his wrist, where there was an icy blue water pattern faintly appearing with consciousness.
The program spoke out in time: "In the first phase of the residence permission qualification test, in order to screen for more suitable residence, world awareness has inspired the potential of each parasite. This potential can be strengthened and retained through each test."
"A more suitable resident?" Yuan Rong grabbed the words, "Aren't some people failing to test?"
"Did you confirm this answer just now?"
Yuan Rong stayed in place. Yes, he confirmed...
Outside the window, the streets, and even the bustling Fancheng, are now dead. Everything has gotten rid of the gray sky and ushered in the white dawn of the fish belly, but these can no longer give people the feeling of hope.
"You don't have to worry about the living environment getting worse, the failed qualification test, the world consciousness has swallowed it up."
Devour...
"Yes, there is no trace!"
Light and lively, like the latest intelligent AI set by humans, it can easily talk out cruel words and lash out the original cold heart.
He has thought on the "Master Plane" more than once. After becoming a god, he has no father and mother, but he has a lot of friends and relatives, and he also prefers entertainment in a restaurant. Now he wants to come. He prefers people's anger. .
Knowing that he is still alive, lively, and energetic from the bustling crowd.
Yuan Rong unscrewed the faucet again, looking quietly at the flowing water. The clear water bead jumped and hit the white porcelain sink. The light sound of running water seemed to tell him: "Live."
I will, Yuan Rong closed his eyes, life is the most important thing, he knows better than anyone.
He took a hot bath, and his body soaked in the bathtub was so soft that he lay down on the bed to stretch his body. For a long time, he touched his neck: "Are you there?"
"Always."
Yuan Rong chuckled: "If I don't touch the black circle, are you there?"
"Yes, do you want to open anytime communication?"
"Yes," Yuan Rong weighed his words. "Is everyone's first test the same? I mean, will someone have the same ability as me?"
"Not necessarily. The test small world is randomly generated, and the parasites participating in the test will be randomly dropped. And each parasite's potential is independent and unique. But some parasites are personally conscious, even if they are conscious of the world It’s impossible to awaken the potential of development. Those who failed the first phase of the test have been wiped out."
"Is the following small world mandatory random?"
"Before the mandatory time, you can choose the time and start the test freely, but it is also a random small world."
"I didn't have a memory during the first test, will it be erased temporarily afterwards?"
"The first test is to test the survival ability of parasites and stimulate potential, so it will block the memory, and the subsequent test will open the memory."
"Then, you are called a program, do you have other functions?"
At the sound of "ding", Yuan Rong flashed in front of him, and a translucent interface appeared in the air. He took a closer look and wrote in the upper left corner:
【Code: A(ZS)-671】
【Main Godhead: God of Water Elements】
[Secondary Personality: None]
[Living period: qualified for the first period]
On the right, there is a blank column that reads:
【Props column; remaining prop columns 6/6】
The bottom line: [1 level reserve room; remaining storage space: 10m3/10m3]
Yuan Rong was startled: "Remaining space?"
A lot of memories flashed in a flash, and his eyes widened: "Excuse me, can I choose to go back to the world where I experienced the first test?"
"Yes, you can choose the dimension of your residence during your residence time. Open the previous world, are you sure?"
"No, I'm just asking," Yuan Rong took a deep breath, no wonder he didn't see Odrent when he returned to the main plane. Odrent had already cleared the first test.
Why did he go back? Is it a vacation? Yuan Rong remembered that when he envied the Odrent's integration rule to take out the Scythe of Death, Odlent lowered his eyes and told him that he could do it after the integration rule.
"How difficult will the next few phases be compared to the first phase?"
"The difficulty increases with each period of residence eligibility. The first period of residence eligibility test will stop at the end of the global clearance of 100 million parasites. The first period of residence will be announced at the same time. After that, the second period of residence eligibility test will start. Each The period of residence qualification test is divided into A, B, C, D, E, F levels, and the residence time obtained by each level of qualification test clearance varies."
"One hundred million," Yuan Rong pondered. This is not a big number. At least nine billion people in the world are almost the proportion of one in a hundred miles. "...How much are you clearing now?"
"Please wait while we are inquiring," the program stalled for a second. "Now 39.1 million have been cleared, rounded to 10,000. According to the average speed of customs clearance, it is expected that 100 million customs clearance will be reached in a week."
Yuanrong took a breath, which was much smaller than he thought. People like him who have awakened their powerful potential have spent at least eight days (of course it took many years at the speed of the world's time lapse) to clear the customs: "So, there are no people who pass the time limit?"
"Eliminate."
"...How to use the prop column?"
According to the program introduction, the prop column can hold "special props". As for the specific props, the program does not give it. The original conjecture is a special weapon or equipment similar to the sickle of death. The reserve room is for "Earth items". The word originally understood it as the original ordinary items of the earth, such as ordinary weapons, a basin of water, etc., and the procedures were added, and the time in the reserve room was stagnant.
At least a week.
Yuan Rong recalled the nine-death life he had experienced growing up step by step in the main plane. He couldn't sit still.
Somehow, he thought of Odrent.
Audrent is different from the original law of gentleness and calmness. Like his deity, he is full of gloom and fierceness of ruin and destruction. That is a force that can even be mixed in the material that destroys the void, and even... the hunger that devours this world, the only remaining breath of death and destruction, the power of destruction and destruction.
Grim Reaper, Odrent. No one even dared to mention this name directly in the main plane. They respectfully called him: the reaper.
If he is a teammate, maybe it will be easier...
What do you think? The original smile is bitter. Although he is the master of the water element, he is far less than Odrent in experience and control. How can Odrent be willing to be with him?
Strength is the power of speaking now.
Yuanrong replaced his pajamas, not looking for any fashionable and beautiful collocation, and put on a sportswear that is the easiest to move. It is strange to say that after becoming a god, his physical fitness is better. He only wears pajamas in a room without heating. Not cold. But in order to avoid attention, it is better to keep a low profile without knowing the outside world. He put on the cool-purchased military boots that were convenient for movement, just in case, don't put the saber on the waist and went out.
The street was quiet, and I did not know that there were few people passing through the customs. They were all sleeping, or no one dared to go out, and the sound of military boots stepping on the slab of the crosswalk echoed in the air. The sky is dark gray, and I can't see the time. The original looks at the watch: 11:31, fast lunch in the past. The snack street in front of his house has long been fragrant, crowded, and the sound of the car horn, The schoolboys were clamoring one after another, and now there are no people.
The shops are closed, and when he is in bed when he wakes up, it is speculated that the time for global unity to fall asleep should be evening.
His first destination was a supermarket. There was a medium-sized 24-hour shop around the corner. The neon lights were still on, and there was a lonely light. He went in, there should have been a little fat man yawning every day at the cash register, and now there is only one mobile phone on the counter and half a barrel of instant noodles.
He meditated on the deceased's rest and began to look for useful materials.
Food needs are the least, but maybe. Yuanrong picked a few packs of compressed biscuits and felt enough. He focused on coming to the tool area. This supermarket is not big. Only a small fire axe for home use is better than nothing. Looking around, I didn't find anything useful.
It seems to be going to the mall. Passing the counter, Yuanrong put down a few hundred-dollar bills and left with a sigh.
The nearest mall is after two streets. Before putting it, Yuan Rong, the lazy man, directly condensed the water dragon and flew away, but to the real world, he shrank his hands: the world you don’t understand is more terrible than the world you understand. He walked as quickly as possible without exposing his body. The strengthening of his physical qualities made him feel tired. He could feel the water element in the air continuously supplying him with energy, which was not noticed before he became a god.
However, approaching the mall, he became alert.
A big hole was opened in the mall door. After the tempered glass shattered, he observed from a distance, and strengthened his vision for more than a hundred times, so that he could see the finest glass across a dozen meters, no traces of ammunition remained, and no suspected damage tools were found. It was presumed to be a power. Do.
The man was not weak, and the original thought was that he stepped back and looked up. The shopping mall has five floors, but he didn't know if this person was there. However, if you choose this mall instead of the largest mall in the city center, this house should not be far from him. If you don’t look down, you shouldn’t be afraid. So he condensed a water dragon and went straight in.
The first floor is a counter for jewelry, cosmetics and footwear. Because humans are sleeping at midnight, there is no light in the big shopping mall, and even the wind is silenced. The original content can only hear his own subtle breathing and try to relax as much as possible. Footsteps.
"Ka", "Ka", along the way, only the original sound of the army boots ground. He skipped the first floor directly, the first and second floors are supermarkets, but he was going to release it first and go to the top floor first. If you remember correctly, there is a sports area. He accompanied his friends a few years ago to buy mountaineering equipment.
From the first floor to the fifth floor, he looked around when he went upstairs, and there was no obvious sign of someone coming. This person knew at least not to disturb other "passers". Also, he sighed, the pass rate of choosing one hundred miles, not only to have strong power to pass the customs, but also to have a brain for you to pass quickly, can there be weak people.
Until he reached the fifth floor, he groped along the mall map to find the sports zone, and there was no trace of anyone coming. This made him sigh of relief. The less unnecessary battles, the better before the enemy's strength is cleared. It can be learned from the "program" that each parasite will retain the potential of the first test after it is cleared, but not limited to the form. Yuanrong conjectured that in his test world, each person's ability is determined by a different "divine personality", but other worlds are different, like the blood of a different animal, super power, magic, etc. What disturbed him was that when he asked about each "parasite" relationship, the program kept silent.
He once asked if "parasites" could cooperate, and the program did not respond. He asked again, if the "parasites" harm each other, what punishment and reward will there be, and the program has not responded. I wonder if there is no set answer, or it cannot be disclosed.
In short, be careful.
Originally looking for the right direction, he couldn't care about the style. He felt two new outdoor tents, sleeping bags, and a full set of mountaineering tools, all of which filled the space. In terms of shoes, he has already thrown all his collection of military boots into the storage space: who knows when to start the second phase of the test, and put away the useful things first.
Passing the fire axe on this floor, Yuan Rong broke the glass into his hands. Instead of stopping, he went directly to the underground supermarket along the escape stairs.
However, when exiting the escape staircase, he paused—the fire axe at the exit of the escape staircase on the basement floor was gone.
The original content hides himself in the shadow of the exit of the stairs, and quickly looks at the environment: there is no trace of damage except for the wall where the glass was smashed. He can conclude that the person who looks at the fire axe is the same person as him who cannot be attacked by force. He is transparent about his ability limitations: long-range, outbreak, and control, but his melee advantage is extremely low, so he needs a fire axe, a light and capable weapon to defend himself. If you are good at melee, you will choose a lighter and sharper knife.
The dragon was half hidden in the air like water ripples. The original appearance took a step. He only heard a loud bang in the next second. The original appearance never reacted. Take it out!
