I live in a desert island property - Chapter 555
c536 Is this how I ended up eating a soft meal? !
Miss Calabash was very anxious. She really couldn’t keep up now and was being pushed further and further away by the retreating time and space insect.
Although Miss Calabash also has the teleportation ability granted by the Judgment Scale.
But it is also the rule of the devil. The teleportation ability of the gourd cannot be compared with the space jump of the time and space insect.
[Wait a minute, wait a minute! I really can’t catch up! 】
The gourd’s short legs followed behind.
Zhang Ming felt that [Long-cherished Wish] had indeed become a little smarter, his tone had become more flexible, and he actually felt a sense of grievance.
He couldn’t help but stop and joked: “Little cute gourd, I won’t run away, what are you worried about?”
Gourd said hotly: [I…I have never left you, and now I am suddenly thrown away millions of kilometers, so naturally I am very nervous! 】
[It’s impossible for me to catch up with your current speed. 】
Zhang Ming became more and more amused, and kept sending questions to it: “Am I a little ugly when I look like this… polluting your aesthetic concept?”
“Wouldn’t it be enough for you to accompany me in my human body? My human body is the real body.”
“Do you like the Time and Space Insect more?”
“I’m very sad that you’re like this. You’re an insect of time and space, so it’s not appropriate!”
Hulu was dumbfounded when asked directly.
It was somewhat unclear whether Zhang Ming was joking or serious.
For [Long-cherished Wish], this proposition is too difficult.
Hulu racked his brains and calculated until his brain was overclocked, and finally came up with a response: “Well…it does look a bit uglier.” But the body of the Time and Space Insect is tailor-made to match the rules of the Demon God. If you change it randomly, the ability value will drop a lot…]
[So please complete this work first, and then change the appearance of the Time and Space Insect. 】
[Actually, I prefer your human body. I am telling the truth! 】
Zhang Ming said: “Okay, I understand, you prefer the human body, what you said is the truth.”
“The loyal shield machine is sworn to complete the tasks assigned by Her Majesty the Queen. I work day and night, transforming into an ox and horse, so that you can quickly become a cargo-carrying demon and make more money.”
Hulu really couldn’t handle Zhang Ming’s firepower output, but he had to respond: [You mean, I…I am the queen…Okay, I can hold this position, if you are willing. 】
Zhang Ming almost laughed out loud. What kind of understanding is this?
The huge body of the Space-Time Insect twisted crazily and made a strange sound.
Miss Calabash said in that ethereal and pleasant voice: [But there is one thing I must remind you: there are a large number of demon anchors in the Burial World. If you suddenly break in, it will cause a huge backlash. 】
[Therefore, the section of the burial world must be dug last. You can dig the Demon Sea side first. 】
Zhang Ming said quickly: “Okay, I understand.”
[Then I’ll leave first. Don’t be too busy…when it’s time to rest, take a good rest. 】
The gourd disappeared in front of him.
After driving away this monster who only wanted to make a lot of money, Zhang Ming began to roam freely in space.
Flip, jump, and leap, it’s all at your fingertips.
Like a fish jumping into the sea, like a horse galloping in the grassland, and like an eagle soaring in the sky. The distance that is so close to the end of the world is condensed into a short moment.
This feeling of great freedom and ease is really heartfelt.
Infinitely beautiful experiences swept over him like a storm, allowing him to appreciate the infinite happiness that comes from sports.
And this kind of space jump is quite energy-saving. If you just travel through the body for a day, it will only consume about 1 unit of the source of the world!
Yes, it only takes 1 unit a day!
This is not at the same level as Zhang Ming’s utilization of “source”.
“It is indeed a demon-level energy utilization rate.”
“If you dig a hole, the energy consumption is about a hundred times that of jumping.”
“As for digging higher-standard tunnels, more energy will naturally be needed.”
During the continuous leap, Zhang Ming sensed something. His huge body curled up slightly, and his vast and majestic thoughts spread out in all directions.
This idea is like ripples in water, touching certain structures in the space, vibrating back and forth, and then reflected back to the brain.
Zhang Ming took a breath and was a little surprised.
He actually found the legacy left by his predecessor!
A large number of space tunnels like spider webs are distributed in all directions of time and space.
Most of the space tunnels have collapsed, leaving only a few that are still alive. One of the tunnels leads to the red stone.
“These legacies…”
He activated his huge insect-like compound eyes and looked through the collapsed space-time tunnel into the distant distance.
In the past, Zhang Ming could only see objects thousands of kilometers away with his human body, which was already the limit of human beings.
But now he has a demon-level body. In an instant, he can retrieve a massive amount of information from light years away.
After brain analysis, a large amount of effective information was retrieved in just a few seconds.
An abstract, neural network-like image comes to mind.
His predecessor was really crazy, with space tunnels dug everywhere and never maintained!
The scale of this collapsed tunnel may be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!
“What a waste, brother, you are really crazy, really free, and you are so overwhelmed by freedom.”
There are only a very few tunnels leading to the Demonic Sea.
Most of the space tunnels lead to the dim stars in the dimensional rift.
In other words, this madman, like a moth to a flame, heads towards the place where there is matter.
I really found some small worlds through it.
“In fact, most small worlds are just big fireballs, just like the solar system. In the middle are blue dwarfs, red dwarfs or yellow dwarfs, and there are several planets orbiting nearby.”
The environment that can provide life to survive and reproduce is extremely rare, probably only one in 10,000.
Even if I spend a lot of energy to find this small world, it seems to be meaningless.
Only the Sea of Demon Gods is the same big world as the old mythical era.
“This space has been searched in such detail by the time and space worm. There is probably no third big world near the origin of the myth.”
Zhang Ming felt a little regretful, but also had a vague understanding.
This is actually a step in evolution.
Only in the process of extensive exploration can the time and space insect continue to mature and become the ultimate demon.
But this process is really too long…
It is necessary to dig into the third big world, or even the fourth or fifth big world, and get feedback from cause and effect, so that there is even a slight chance of becoming the ultimate demon.
“But if there is no third world, what should I do? I can only head towards the starry sky?”
Zhang Ming gave up the idea for the time being. For a devil like him, he should just stick to his role as a shield machine. He would start the 10,000-year project first and then think about other things…
He had a sudden thought: “With so many collapsed space-time tunnels, can I make use of them and reduce the cost of them?”
He tried it a little bit, using the long tentacles to reach into a space rift at a weird angle.
With a little effort, the rules of time and space are constantly linked.
Injecting a small amount of energy widened the gap a lot.
“Well…it’s quite economical.”
Then he extended his tentacles, trying to forcefully drill a tunnel in a stable space.
It took a lot of effort, and in some places where time and space were relatively stable, a hard tooth-like structure similar to an electric drill had to be used to forcefully bite it open.
Zhang Ming finally understood why the Space-Time Insect looked like this.
The energy gap between the two methods is slightly compared.
“The collapsed space-time tunnel needs to be re-excavated before it can be used.”
“But recycling waste is about 80% less labor-intensive than starting from scratch.”
Therefore, Zhang Ming planned to use a section of the collapsed tunnel to splice it into the “Burial World-Sea of Demons Tunnel”, which would save a lot of money.
“The Insect of Time and Space has never been to the Burial World. The passage to the Burial World must be dug by myself.”
“But there are actually quite a few tunnels in the Sea of Demon Gods, and some of them can be spliced together.”
“As long as the quality is guaranteed, the remaining money is my own.”
“Bad woman, please help me plan how to splice it together. I can at least save about 10 million of the world’s source as private money!”
[You just called [Long-cherished Wish] cutie, and the bad girl got a little angry~] Miss [Hope] who lives in her head said playfully.
“I’m talking about the cute Calabash…who is Calabash? Don’t you want this identity anymore?”
“I understand, now I am the noble and great Miss [Hope]. Miss Calabash can only describe [Long-cherished Wish].”
Zhang Ming felt that his eloquence had greatly improved in the process of dealing with these bad women.
Calabash said dullly: [Okay…I am Miss Calabash~I will help you~]
Her tone changed: [However, it started to make wishes again to make itself smarter… It will soon be exactly like me. Are you looking forward to it? 】
【Hope】The lady’s words sounded worried.
However, Zhang Ming disagreed.
He obviously still has this integrity.
Even if [Hope] and [Long-cherished Wish] are exactly the same, he will still choose Miss [Hope] who has no money.
After all, Miss [Hope] is the one who truly accompanies him through the ups and downs, and the rich [Long-cherished Wish] is just here to pick peaches.
Although the plot in this kind of romantic drama is very bloody.
But it is true.
He, Lao Zhang, can now control the insects of time and space and fly away with the moneyless lady!
“Don’t worry, even a lowly servant like Shimama will not choose [Long-cherished Wish].”
Zhang Ming said with great dignity that he would never give up for five buckets of rice!
“For a strong human being like me, there will be no change even if I choose the answer ten thousand times!”
As a result, Hulu changed the subject: [Meow meow meow~ You misunderstood! I mean, there’s probably not a lot of chance that you’ll want to keep playing with it. Because I will achieve the final victory soon~]
“ah?!”
Hulu patiently explained: [If it wants to erase me from the historical level, it must play the role of [Hope] as much as possible in front of you and completely replace me. 】
[It is stealing my memories and analyzing the scenes to gain more anthropomorphic wisdom. 】
[But it’s hard for it to guess that these memories were given to it intentionally by me. 】
[When it discovers that no matter how hard it acts, it cannot achieve the ultimate goal, it will not suspect that you have recognized it as a [long-cherished wish], but will feel that its acting is not perfect enough. 】
[It will truly try to understand emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. 】
【Then, I am addicted to it and cannot extricate myself. 】
[The struggle between ‘me’ and ‘not-me’ will eventually be won by ‘me’. 】
Zhang Ming took a breath of cold air.
No wonder the “bad woman” is so confident. It turns out that all the plans have been planned.
“There is a big question. Why did you say this so calmly? You are about to become the ultimate demon! Shouldn’t you be very excited?”
Gourd said weirdly: [In front of many civilizations, I ate my [long-cherished wish] in one bite and evolved into the ultimate demon. Is this the best way to show off? Thinking about it, I am still a little excited, and my heart is beating fast. 】
“Damn it, learn from me…” Zhang Ming instinctively wanted to raise his eyebrows, but found two huge flagella moving…
[Actually, I have been transformed into my current thinking form by you. It doesn’t matter what the ultimate demon is. ] Gourd’s tone became normal, [I have been thinking, what is the meaning of becoming the ultimate demon? 】
[Just like people live just to live, they eat, sleep, and drink just to live. The meaning of the devil is to achieve the ultimate. But if you really achieve the ultimate goal and don’t need to eat, drink, or sleep, you don’t know what the meaning is. 】
【Life like this is quite happy. 】
This “I” thing is weird.
Once born, it will not die easily.
Most intelligent creatures can experience the existence of “I”.
But what exactly is “I”, and whether “self-awareness” is the soul, memory or body, seems to be a philosophical problem.
It’s really not clear.
It is precisely because of the existence of “I” that life becomes interesting and people can feel joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
Playing chess, ball, and games will become more interesting.
The computer has no “I”, so it cannot feel the fun of playing Go and does not know the “meaning of existence”.
The same is true for demon gods. Demon gods do not have self-awareness. They are a group of monsters who can only calculate numerical values.
Therefore, there is indeed no solution to this philosophical attack on “long-cherished wish” to give birth to “I”!
[Long-cherished wish] Either don’t understand “I” and just focus on being a devil who is proficient in calculation.
It can indeed trick people to death and is extremely powerful, but so what?
Because it cannot understand the existence of “I”, it never performs well [Hope] and cannot become the ultimate demon.
Once you understand, you have “I”.
There is no way to lose this thing again.
The “I” takes root and grows deep.
【Long-cherished Wish】I can’t get rid of the existence of “I” at all.
[Once it cannot get rid of the ‘I’ thing, it is equivalent to the ‘I’ gaining a decisive victory. 】
[It will be assimilated by me and become a clone of me. 】
Miss Calabash said softly: [It took me a long, long time to find this more perfect solution… My dearest Mr. Zhang, you may feel a little wronged at first. 】
[But at this point, there is no need to feel aggrieved, right? 】
[If you want to play with it now, go ahead and play with it. After a while, it will become a part of me. 】
[Then it will be a little less interesting for you to play. 】
Zhang Ming is sweating profusely. What kind of bad taste are you talking about, or are you talking sarcastically?
[You don’t have to worry about me being jealous. It’s just a robot anyway. If you play with the silicone doll, I won’t be jealous. 】
His wife is so good at scheming, one link within another, almost seamless and impeccable.
Even the existence of [Long-cherished Wish] is regarded as dead.
The philosophical attack… was really beyond his imagination!
The most important thing is, you don’t have to spend any money, just calculate your long-cherished wish to death!
This computing power was so powerful that Zhang Ming suddenly felt as weak as a paramecium.
The joy of becoming a worm of time and space suddenly disappeared.
“Wife…”
[Well…because we have already signed our names in the Demon God Contract, this title makes me very happy. Do you have any wishes? 】
“Can you please not murder me?” Zhang Ming said weakly.
After a long silence, Hulu said: [I don’t like the situation now either. Everything seems to have turned into a series of numbers that can be calculated. I can see the destiny and future of all things. 】
[This feels quite boring, just like playing a game with cheats. If you change a string of numbers, the enemy will… die. 】
The tentacles of the Space-Time Insect extend randomly in all directions. What kind of top-notch Versailles is this…
[After [Long-cherished Wish] is solved, I will let my intelligence drop to the normal biological level and go on a happy trip with you. 】
“Okay, then do you know what I’m thinking now?”
[Hmm… I still can’t see through your thoughts. Your heart is always in chaos, as chaotic as an abyss. 】
Zhang Ming does have many ideas in his mind, including but not limited to “No need to work hard in the future”, “How about kneeling on the keyboard”, “How to train novices”, “How to brag in front of Shi Mama”, “Should I Show off in front of people on earth” and so on.
In the end, this chaos turned into a wise saying: Is this how I end up eating soft rice? !
The music of trumpet and suona sounded in my mind.
Zhang Ming rode a tall horse, married the princess, and reached the pinnacle of his life amid compliments from people around him.
When he opened the red curtain, he was surprised to find that the other party was not only a princess, but also a cultivator of immortality. She was also in the Mahayana stage and was about to ascend!
The strong man Zhang Ming, the champion of martial arts, shed tears.
In other words, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Everything in life is a siege. People inside the city want to get out, and people outside the city want to get in.
Zhang Ming howled angrily: “But even if you are a princess in the Mahayana period, the bridal night will still have to continue!”
[I’m just the youngest daughter of a farmer’s family. I’m just in the stage of refining my energy. Master…]
Zhang Ming was a little happy to be coaxed. Her role-playing ability, coupled with her aggrieved and shy tone, was definitely “Hope”: “Then… why is it gone?”
[I’m wondering whether I said softly and weakly, ‘Can you please be gentler’, or did I say weirdly, ‘You haven’t eaten, please use more strength’. 】
The time and space bug almost suffered internal injuries and vomited blood.
The huge body jumped slightly and jumped in the direction of a certain collapsed tunnel…
…
…
What happened next was much simpler, and Zhang Ming began his official life as a cow and horse.
Start with a collapsed tunnel in the void, dig wildly, without eating, drinking or resting, and dig through the Demonic Sea in one breath!
Then, widen and extend this passage, slowly extending it to the burial world.
The body of the Time and Space Insect is not comparable to ordinary carbon-based organisms. As long as it has enough energy, it will hardly get tired.
As the only contractor and the only worker in the engineering team, Zhang Ming works for himself, 24 hours a day, without resting for a second!
Whenever one-tenth of the project is excavated, those civilizations will be asked to pay corresponding remuneration.
In this situation of progress of hundreds of millions of miles, no civilization dares to offend this uncle, everything is arranged properly.
Of course, during the whole process, he also secretly saved a lot of money, with about 35% of the net profit, which may reach the world source of 10 million!
…
“The quality of the project is very good…much better than expected!”
Hundreds of alien scientists are sitting in a large spaceship, assessing the quality of the space tunnel.
Everyone’s expressions were enthusiastic and full of admiration.
The leader is named “Amoeba”, and his status among many advanced civilizations is equivalent to that of Einstein in the earth’s civilization!
He said with a rosy face: “It is indeed a demon-level space rule. The speed of this work is so good and fast!”
“A space tunnel of this size can already safely transport planetary fortresses.”
“In other words, we made quite a profit, and the 30 million we spent was not a loss at all.”
These words made other experts tremble with fear.
Old man, that’s 30 million from 10,000 civilizations. It took countless energy just to argue internally!
“Professor Amoeba, can we study anything from this?” Another expert said.
“Hey, it’s very difficult. The Demon God’s rules have a complete set of coordination. It’s useless if you just split a rule. It’s almost impossible to reverse engineer it.”
“However, it is possible to buy a few flagella and research a machine dedicated to digging tunnels…”
Another expert looked out the window at the dark scene.
Space tunnels exist in the form of high-dimensional space. Only some unique technologies can “see” them. They cannot be discovered by the naked eye alone.
“To buy flagella, we might as well ask Mr. Zhang to dig them out for us. Researching this thing will also cost a lot of money.”
Many civilizations started discussing it.
“A cargo tunnel between civilizations does not require a teleporting planetary fortress, so why does it need such high specifications?”
“In this case, it’s better to build than to buy.”
“That’s true…”
Many civilizations have agreed.
But there are also some civilizations that want to develop more useful space mining devices themselves.
Different civilizations have their own ideas, which is normal.
In contrast, Zhang Ming’s place is still just a small business, with just a few scientists coming over occasionally to check on the progress – they are very satisfied with the current results.
And the big platform of the burial world is the real big platform!
No matter how high the strategic value of the Space-Time Insect is, it is only a demon god with limited resources it can produce.
In the Burial World, in just three months, there have been more than 40 demon gods willing to cooperate!
The various strange materials they produced overwhelmingly defeated the time and space insects in terms of quantity.
The quality and functionality are unparalleled. Apart from the price being a bit expensive, there is really nothing to criticize.
These representatives of civilization all expressed emotion when talking about the Demon God “Hope”.
“The devil who specializes in making people pregnant has recently been appeased by [Hope]. It no longer attacks passers-by, but instead begins to produce a red liquid.”
“After taking this liquid, you will completely lose your fertility… but in just one day, a person’s strength can increase to the spiritual limit!”
Is this thing awesome?
At the cost of losing fertility, increasing strength to the spiritual limit is simply so awesome that it explodes!
The limit of spirituality is no longer weak, and if you take one step further, you will become an extraordinary person.
As for the sequelae, you can give birth to offspring first and then take this drug.
The most important thing is, it is very cheap!
Some smarter devils have already started a price war, making small profits but quick turnover.
All of a sudden, it triggered a widespread discussion!
“[Hope] The devil himself will bring the goods, 600 copies of the source of the world. Apart from losing fertility, there will be absolutely no sequelae! You can’t buy it and suffer a loss, and you can’t buy it and be cheated!”
600 World Source for a spiritual limiter is really not expensive.
“Your Excellency Shimama, is there that kind of… product that makes people become extraordinary?”
“Well… Extraordinary people must master strong rules. For the time being, everyone can only rely on their own abilities. But in the future, it may not be impossible. I, Shimama, will help you ask.”
“Also, the demon god who specializes in killing people in the dark has also been recruited by [Hope]… It provides a black substance that can completely blend into the darkness after being contaminated.”
“It’s very cheap. 100 units of the Source of the World can be exchanged for one ton of goods.”
This thing doesn’t seem to have any particular use, but it can’t be said to be completely useless. Its development requires research…
In order to recruit this guy, all civilizations invested in purchasing 100 tons of goods, priced at 10,000 units of the Source of the World!
Not to mention, ten thousand yuan can keep it calm, which is considered a good deal.
The most critical variable among them is naturally [hope].
This mysterious demon god can “buy” other demon gods with money. The emergence of this ability directly reverses the imbalance of the balance.
Those more than forty demon gods suddenly changed from a hostile relationship to a relationship of interest!
And dealing with interest relationships is what these civilizations are best at.
Not only that, [Hope] also recruited a large number of immortals from the burial world.
That is to say, the sacred beasts that were originally suppressed are becoming more and more powerful.
It basically completes most of the negotiation work without showing its face, and still maintains a mysterious image.
It is precisely because of the mystery that all civilizations still maintain awe. Who dares to offend the wise devil rashly?
“If this continues, [Hope] will obtain more and more sources of the world, and the future… will be difficult to handle.”
“We’ll talk about the future in the future. As long as we continue to cooperate as we are now, we won’t be able to fall out with [Hope]…”
“That’s true.”
…
