Chapter 9

Wu the Skinflint washed his hands carefully, and then piously prayed to all the gods he knew, including but not limited to the Jade Emperor, various constellations, Marshal Tianpeng, the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses... Odin, Valkyrie... Zeus, Athena... God, Jesus... and so on.

He even prayed to his parents from hundreds of years ago.

Praying that he could draw a useful good thing, preferably a supernatural technique like the Tiger Demon Art. A supernatural technique in a Baseline Reality 0.7 Dream World is not comparable to the Tiger Demon Art!

After doing all this, in Chirp's puzzled gaze, Wu Pifu activated the Dream World full random lottery, locking the world range to the Northern Song Dynasty period where he established the sanctuary.

There were no sound or light effects, and no big light balls. An object appeared directly in front of Wu Pifu very ordinarily.

It was a broken conch with seaweed attached?

What the hell!

Wu Pifu was about to angrily smash the conch.

However, this was normal. A full random lottery, even if you draw a piece of mud, is normal. On the contrary, that he drew the Tiger Demon Art was a miracle. However, some seniors mentioned that the Mainframe seems to take special care of the lottery for a newcomer's first sanctuary?

Wu Pifu held the conch, not knowing whether to throw it or keep it. However, he still subconsciously used the Mainframe to identify the conch.

"Magic Conch."

"From... place, possessing strange power. By asking it, you can get an answer. It may be correct, it may be wrong, it may be useful, it may be useless..."

"Can be asked once every 24 hours."

Wu Pifu was stunned for a long time, looking at the conch shell back and forth, the "MMP" in his heart almost bursting out.

There's even a Magic Conch, so is SpongeBob far behind!?

Could it be that from the information in the Mainframe's garbled code, this thing came from the underwater world of the unspeakable SpongeBob!?

Wu Pifu looked at the conch shell with an uncertain expression. He thought for a long time, but still said to the conch: "Conch, what should I do next to safely pass this 'week'?"

After waiting for a long time, the conch shell had no movement. Wu Pifu looked at the conch shell in surprise.

The Mainframe displayed its characteristics, which proved that it was definitely not an ordinary item. So it must be that his way of asking was wrong... Must he say the full name?

"Ahem, Magic Conch, what should I do next to safely pass this 'week'?" Wu Pifu asked with a little shame.

This conch shell actually trembled slightly, and then a low female voice mixed with waves came from the conch shell.

"Live."

Wu Pifu immediately said happily: "That's right, live through this 'week'! No problem... No problem my ass! I know I have to live!!"

It seems he drew a useless item with value...

Wu Pifu helplessly put down the Magic Conch. Although it was useless, it was at least a magical item. He would see if he could sell it in the Dream World later.

After using the lottery, the next step was to strengthen attributes.

This was the reward given by the Rank Two Sanctuary.

So far, Wu Pifu knew the rewards for Rank One to Rank Four sanctuaries. His seniors once told him that it is said that someone has established a Rank Three Sanctuary, but not in their district, but in another district of Gaia. Unfortunately, they can no longer be contacted, and he didn't know if that strong person who established the Rank Three Sanctuary had also died.

Establishing a Rank One Sanctuary allows you to know what the reward for a Rank Two Sanctuary is. The Mainframe will give hints.

As far as Wu Pifu knows, a Rank One Sanctuary will give a full random lottery of the Dream World where the sanctuary is located. You might get a stone, a piece of mud, or you might get a precious treasure of the Dream World, or even the supreme treasure of that Dream World. Anyway, it's all random, and basically, you get useless garbage.

A Rank Two Sanctuary will give an attribute enhancement. This attribute enhancement is to choose any attribute of the body and promote it by one rank. But this "any attribute" must be one that has been judged by the Mainframe, that is, an attribute that can be displayed in the Mainframe.

This is also the datafication of human information, but it is only a prototype. You must establish a Rank Three Sanctuary for the character information to be fully datafied. One is in the world where the Rank Three Sanctuary is established, and the other is that you can choose another world for information datafication. Wu Pifu had long planned that if he established a Rank Three Sanctuary, the first world he would choose would definitely be the real world.

Before that, in Gaia, Wu Pifu only had some attributes half-datafied.

"Wu Pifu."

"Rank One maintenance personnel."

"Physical Body Rank One, Soul Rank One, Inspiration Rank One."

"National Art: Ming Jin, Tiger Demon Art: Entering the Hall."

This is the information Wu Pifu can display now, and among them, Physical Body, Soul, and Inspiration all have a small "+" sign, indicating that you can click to open, but you can't open it now. This is a manifestation of insufficient information.

As for attribute enhancement, you can enhance everything currently displayed except his name, including Rank One maintenance personnel. After promoting one rank, it becomes Rank Two maintenance personnel, possessing more permission, equivalent to the total permission of ten Rank One maintenance personnel. Once he enhances this, he can open some blocked passages.

According to his seniors, if a Rank Three maintenance personnel promotes another rank, it is a Rank One citizen, and the permission immediately undergoes a qualitative change. Not only can they open most passages, but some Gaia projects that maintenance personnel cannot use can be used directly by citizens, such as cyborg customization services. Of course, you must first go to the cyborg factory.

As for the other options, they are as displayed. Physical Body represents physical strength. Rank One is the level of an ordinary person. Rank Two is an immediate surge in all strength, almost equivalent to an Olympic champion of the 21st century, that is, running as fast as Bolt, boxing strength at the level of Tyson, and jumping, weightlifting, nerve reaction speed, etc., are all at the peak of the human body.

It is said that all citizens are automatically adjusted to the optimal genes at birth, that is, all citizens have Rank Two Physical Body at birth.

As for the soul, Wu Pifu doesn't know much about it. And inspiration... can this thing also be enhanced? But no one should go to enhance it, right?

In addition to basic life attributes, the skills learned can also be enhanced.

They are National Art and Tiger Demon Art, which are actually different divisions.

The rank of National Art is the three external art ranks of Ming, An, and Hua, and the three internal art ranks of Golden Core, Gang Qi, and Seeing God Indestructible. This is a division of overall strength.

And although the Tiger Demon Art is a National Art, the level here indicates the proficiency and depth of the Tiger Demon Art, which are the five ranks of entry-level, entering the hall, out of the ordinary, reaching the peak, and supreme manifestation. This is not the strength of your strength, but the depth of your practice.

These are all the options Wu Pifu can enhance now.

He had plans in his heart, but what really made him care was the description of the Mainframe's enhancement reward.

"You have obtained one personal attribute promotion (non-breaking limit) reward."

Since there is "non-breaking limit," is there a "breaking limit" promotion?

Breaking the limit?

This is quite profound to think about.

This is the reward given by the Rank Two Sanctuary. The Rank Three Sanctuary is an information interface. The Rank Four Sanctuary is awesome.

Obtain a designated item from the Dream World where the sanctuary is located!

You are directly given any item from this world. As long as you designate it, you can get it directly!

Even the supreme item of that world. If there is a prehistoric world in a novel, you can even get the Creation Jade Plate of the Primordial Ancestor!!

As for what the Rank Five Sanctuary rewards, Wu Pifu doesn't know. But with a non-breaking limit attribute promotion, perhaps the Rank Five Sanctuary is a breaking limit attribute promotion. Of course, it could also be something else.

So far, Wu Pifu only knows that the highest sanctuary is Rank Five. Whether there are Rank Six, Rank Seven, etc., he is completely unaware now.

At this moment, Wu Pifu said directly: "Mainframe, use attribute promotion, designate Tiger Demon Art."

"Use one personal attribute promotion (non-breaking limit) reward, designate the promotion option as Tiger Demon Art, confirm?"

"Confirm."

In the next instant, Wu Pifu seemed to fall into that dream-like void again, boundless void, shouting and roaring in it, his whole person already falling into madness.

But just at this moment, a red tiger roared out and came to the mad Wu Pifu. This red tiger was incomparably huge. Wu Pifu only reached the finger position of its claw. A crazy blood color spread out. He was trembling all over, and then the red tiger lowered its head, and the blood-red tiger eyes met Wu Pifu's eyes.

The next moment, Wu Pifu's body trembled and kept retreating. In his perception, the crazy blood color seemed to remain, almost making his thinking go crazy. But the point of spiritual light in his consciousness suddenly expanded, its magnitude increased by at least ten times. No matter how crazy thoughts arose in his mind, this point of spiritual light remained motionless, suppressing everything. Gradually, Wu Pifu's mind calmed down.

This is not that he has no distracting thoughts or demonic thoughts in his heart. On the contrary, the distracting thoughts and demonic thoughts have increased several times. But the "not-asleep spiritual light" has increased by more than ten times, completely suppressing these distracting thoughts and demonic thoughts, making his mind calm, and the effect of self-observation on his body and consciousness has improved by more than ten times!

Wu Pifu silently perceived the changes in his body and mind, and then he subconsciously began to punch.

Tiger steps, mad tiger pouncing on the ravine, tiger demon claw, turning tail...

Various training and fighting methods of the Tiger Demon Art were all demonstrated from his hands. He practiced martial arts in this dream-like state for at least ten minutes, and then he hit a broken wooden table in the debris of the maintenance base station with one palm.

Silent, not even breaking the not-so-sturdy wooden table, but when his palm was lifted, a palm print was left on the wooden table, sinking into the wood, three points deep, but not hurting the surrounding wood.

"An Jin! Success!"

Wu Pifu spat out a white breath. This white breath shot out like an arrow for a distance of one zhang before slowly dissipating.

Sure enough, the information displayed at the Mainframe changed.

"National Art: An Jin, Tiger Demon Art: Out of the Ordinary."

The random lottery was used, the attribute enhancement was used, and Wu Pifu looked at the Buddha Mud in front of him. He thought about it and didn't use it immediately. He planned to wake up five maintenance personnel first. After all, more people mean more care. If he had any rejection reaction after using the Buddha Mud, these newcomers could also send him to the medical chamber. Otherwise, if he were alone and had any rejection reaction, he wouldn't even be able to enter the medical chamber. That would be a real injustice.

Then Wu Pifu returned to the hibernation chamber and said, "Mainframe, use five awakening qualifications."

"Five maintenance personnel awakening, confirm?"

"Confirm."

As the words fell, the metal foundation of the hibernation chamber moved, and hibernation chambers rose from the metal ground. A total of five rose, and then they began to open one by one.

After the hibernation chambers opened, first a middle-aged man walked out, then a young woman with a plump figure, then a man who looked slightly gentle, then a boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen, and the fifth hibernation chamber...

Dozens of dark tentacles stretched outward. The boy closest to it was still in a dazed state and was immediately entangled by dozens of tentacles and pulled toward the fifth hibernation chamber.

A creaking sound that made one's hair stand on end...

The boy's head, with wide-open eyes, rolled out of the fifth hibernation chamber.
