Chapter 3

The information obtained is very extensive.

He not only understands the extraordinary power of Pathstriders and even Emanators.

He also knows how many lunatics there are in the universe, as well as their astonishing destructive power.

What is destroying a planet?

They are always destroying nebulae, or even star systems!

And regarding "dimensional reduction," Lin Qi had encountered something similar while at the space station.

The Two-way Foil is not bad.

But placed in the Star Rail universe, it's not that strong.

As long as one exceeds the speed of light, it can be avoided.

And superluminal travel technology is even used for cargo ships in the company, and it's not just simple superluminal speed, but thousands of times the speed of light!

In other words, a Two-way Foil unfolding at sub-light speed can't even deal with a cargo ship.

"Another toy."

"It can only be used as a cleaning tool; using it to clean up bugs or something, it should be considered efficient, right?"

Lin Qi was not disappointed.

After all, it's the standard pool; it's good enough that it didn't give him a "rice cooker."

By comparison, the Two-way Foil still has some substance.

And the Two-way Foil manufacturing technology he obtained not only includes the "two-dimensional plane" manufacturing method, but also the manufacturing method for the encapsulation field.

These are also very valuable; who knows, they might create synergies with other technologies.

However, Lin Qi doesn't have the time to ponder this right now.

After all...

He hasn't fully grasped the technologies he drew from the limited pool yet.

At this moment.

His focus returned to the workbench before Qingque arrived.

On it is a square cloth wrapped in a special force field.

The front and back of the cloth are different colors, and each side is printed with a clock pattern, except one is clockwise and the other is counter-clockwise.

【Time Cloth: Can make the wrapped item become the appearance of the future or the past.】

3. Is returning to youth difficult? Just cover it with the Time Cloth

"Time is indeed harder to study than space."

"But with the Time Cloth, returning to youth really isn't anything; just cover it and it's done!"

Soon.

An afternoon passed.

Lin Qi studied for another afternoon before finally fully grasping this new technology, the "Time Cloth."

"This time it should be stable."

Previously.

Through the technology provided by the system, Lin Qi hadn't failed to build it, but it wasn't very stable, and it was hard to estimate the accelerated or reversed time.

The Time Cloth is hard to place; whether placed face up or face down, it will have an effect on the object it touches.

Lin Qi's workbench was aged significantly because of this.

Fortunately, the Time Cloth can not only accelerate an item's time but also reverse it, which is why no loss was caused.

And the reason he wanted to study it was because Lin Qi wanted to use it on himself.

As a short-lived species, Lin Qi's current body is already over twenty years old; even with various technological optimizations that can extend his lifespan to over two hundred years, it is still difficult to offset the aging of bodily functions brought about by age.

Speaking of which, the reason Lin Qi came to the Xianzhou is actually the same as most outworlders; he also came to seek immortality.

But unlike other outworlders, he is prepared to study it himself.

Fortunately, he hadn't really started studying it yet.

He drew the manufacturing technology for the Time Cloth from the limited pool.

"Just need to let the Time Cloth wrap it in reverse for a period of time, and it can make it present the state of the past; it can even act on living things; returning to youth and staying young forever are not a problem at all."

Although he is relatively confident in his technology, for the sake of insurance, the first user should ideally not be himself.

As it happens, there is a little guy who is suitable.

"Big White?"

Lin Qi called out, then with a "pop," opened a can, and then saw a white cat walk out from the inner room.

"Following me for over ten years, you are also an old cat."

Time has left quite a lot of marks on this cat.

Its fur is no longer lustrous, its eyes are no longer bright, its claws are no longer sharp, and its movements are no longer agile.

If he doesn't intervene, at most in another year or two, it will die of old age.

In the effort between thoughts, while the cat was eating the canned food, Lin Qi gently covered it with the Time Cloth.

The old cat didn't struggle and meowed a few times.

Lin Qi didn't even estimate the time; he just waited for a while and saw the "bulge" wrapped by the Time Cloth gradually become lower. When it was only one-third of its original height, the kitten's meow came from inside.

"That's about it."

Lin Qi lifted the Time Cloth, and the old cat from just now was gone.

Replacing it was a kitten a few months old, even smaller than when Lin Qi first picked up this cat.

But unlike a normal kitten, it still has the memories of these ten-plus years.

"You should be the first cat to return to youth, right?"

"Not necessarily..."

"Maybe Herta has done similar experiments?"

Regarding immortality, Lin Qi has thought a lot.

He even thought that if he didn't study it out, he would go find Herta, or go to Ruan Mei's place to try his luck.

Now it seems there is no need for that.

If not necessary, Lin Qi doesn't really want to owe a "genius" a favor; who knows what Herta would trouble him with again?

Ruan Mei isn't much better; her snacks are delicious, but she isn't very serious.

Next, Lin Qi experimented with the Time Cloth again, and the effect was surprisingly good; after a round of experiments, the entire shop was renovated.

"Truly worthy of being a time prop; even without other props, just relying on the Time Cloth to resell old goods, I could make a fortune!"

"It's just a pity that the manufacturing difficulty of the Time Cloth is too high; a piece only the size of a handkerchief takes over half a year, and the required materials are also very hard to obtain."

"Otherwise, just the influence brought by mass-producing it would be enough for me to blow up the card pool!"

Obviously.

If props like the Time Cloth were spread on a large scale, they could bring Lin Qi massive influence points.

"I wonder if there's any potential for a castrated version?"

"For example, only being able to make the surface age or be renovated..."

Lin Qi possesses the manufacturing technology, and it is the kind he fully understands, not just having the prop alone.

So he can improve the technology, and he can also lower the standards.

Just as he was thinking.

A beautiful figure appeared at the shop entrance, with a fluffy big tail gently swaying behind her.

"Oh my, Mr. Lin is so diligent; this little woman remembers that when I rented this shop to you, it was incredibly dirty and messy, but now it's brand new, making this little woman embarrassed to collect rent again."

Lin Qi looked up; he has a deep impression of this Foxian young lady.

Not only because of her beautiful face.

More importantly, it's her slick and sophisticated style of doing things.

She is beautiful and speaks well.

When he first came to the Xianzhou, Lin Qi also used her channels to rent a shop in the Aurum Alley.

"Then, Miss Tingyun, would you like to refund the rent to me?" Lin Qi joked.

"Mr. Lin, please don't tease this little woman; if the rent for this shop were really to be refunded, this little woman would have to go hungry." Tingyun said with a smile.

"Haha, then Miss Tingyun, why are you here? Or is it that you want to... buy something back from my grocery store?" Lin Qi laughed, but didn't believe her words at all.
