Chapter 3946 Eight Stars
Separated by a wall.
Separates East District 6 and East District 19.
It also separates two completely different urban construction styles.
East Sixth District is a place of high-rise buildings, dominated by neon lights and holographic projections.
The East 19th District is full of low houses, and the only tall building was specially built to accommodate shuttle trains.
However, although the houses in East 19th District are not high, the prices are not cheap, even higher than other areas, and countless rich people flock to it because it is a rare natural area.
The flowers and plants in other areas are basically holographic projections, but here, the green trees and street flowers you see every few dozen meters are real.
If East District 6 is urban style, East District 19 is natural style.
Angel led the way and introduced the situation of the East 19th District to Laplace and Sigimund through the mind link.
However, Sigismund was just like usual, even when he was walking, he kept his eyes half-closed and remained silent.
According to Laplace, Sigismund had entered into a "battle of minds".
For an ascetic, the walking, sitting or lying of his body will not affect his battle in the arena of the mind.
Therefore, Sigismund didn't care about the situation in the East 19th District at all.
Laplace, on the other hand, looked at the natural scenery around him with great interest, but after just a few glances, he couldn't help but shook his head.
Is this what you call natural wind?
There are only a few trees and the flowers and plants are very sparse.
It would be better to have a desolate mirror.
Compared to the sloppy environment here, Laplace still prefers the steel forest outside. It is a city style that she rarely sees in the projection of the Sea of Mirrors.
Angell naturally noticed Laplace's disappointment: "This is probably the painful period that a new city must go through in order to prosper."
The towering skyscrapers and the fluttering neon lights have brought unprecedented pollution.
The acid rain that fell from time to time did not extinguish the splendor of the steel forest, but it killed all the fragile vegetation.
This is also why the plants in other areas are basically faked by holographic projections.
Is it because plants are expensive? No, it’s because the soil is seriously acidified. If you want to grow plants, even just a blade of grass, you have to spend a lot of energy to care for it.
Of course, there are plants that are resistant to acidification, but they all grow in the central area.
So, even though the plants in East District 19 are a bit sloppy, it is indeed a rare natural area in the modern city.
As for why plants can be grown in the East 19th District?
Answer: Because of the dome.
A quarter of the East 19th District is covered by a glass dome, blocking the acid rain from the sky and providing the basic conditions for the growth of plants in this area.
"Although this dome was specially built by the Companion Star Group for the wealthy area here, it also accidentally brought a bit of natural scenery that is rare in the city."
“Also, the dome can sometimes serve as part of the scenery.”
When Angel said this, they happened to arrive at the Companion Star Lake.
Below is a quiet blue lake.
Above is a transparent dome, but at this moment the dome is slowly being dyed into a pitch-black ink color.
After a while, it turned into a black curtain.
Stars light up one by one on the curtain.
In a blink of an eye, the black curtain turned into a starry sky surrounded by the Milky Way. At the same time, the dark and quiet lake surface also reflected the eternal and brilliant galaxy on the dome.
The sea of stars is shining and the lake is interesting.
When Laplace saw this scene, he was also stunned.
Even though she knew that this was man-made scenery, she had to admit that it was very dreamy and beautiful. The starry sky and the lake were like two mirrors, reflecting each other and embellishing each other.
"It's very beautiful." Laplace whispered softly, "If Gleipnir saw this scene, he would probably like it very much."
Angel: "Even if she knows this is a fake starry sky?"
Laplace nodded. "Gleipnir looks serious, but she is not old-fashioned. She can distinguish between true and false, and she is not a fundamentalist. For her, even if she knows that this is a fake starry sky, she will like it."
"But she would like it more if it was a real starry sky."
However, it is difficult for the real starry sky to appear in the dungeon. Even in the modern city in reality, it is probably difficult to see the starry sky due to the severe light pollution.
"I've seen the natural wind and the starry sky projection, so it's time to go to the hidden waters."
After Angel finished speaking, he raised his right hand and instantly created a glowing ball of light.
The ball of light floated in the air and swayed before Laplace.
"Follow it, and it will lead you into the water, to the correct secret passage, and to the hidden waters."
Laplace looked at Angel: "What about you?"
Angel: "I'll wait here for Huayuan for a while. Don't worry, I will definitely come in before the passage is closed."
If Hua Yuan hasn't arrived by then, she will have to wait until next time.
Laplace nodded, "Okay."
Ingres smiled and waved his hand gently, and the glowing ball of light fell into the lake in a parabola.
The ball of light fell into the water like a falling star, and Laplace and Sigismund were like star-chasers, disappearing into the dark water along with the ripples created.
……
A few minutes later, a fragrant breeze suddenly swept across the grass and landed on the edge of the Companion Star Lake.
The person who came was Hua Yuan, a beautiful middle-aged woman in professional attire.
She frowned and stared at the calm, dark lake.
"Are you sure the smell disappears here?" Hua Yuan muttered in a low voice, glancing at Cherry who was hugging her thigh out of the corner of her eye.
Cherry seemed to be very insecure, with a timid look in her eyes, and she held onto Huayuan's legs tightly, "Yes, I smelled it."
"Disappeared here? Did he fall into the lake?" A look of doubt flashed in Hua Yuan's eyes.
She came here following the token.
That candy was made of cherries and had a special flavor. As long as it was within the scope of Modern City, cherries could vaguely sense the location.
Especially when the candy is swallowed and digested by heat, the taste becomes more intense. At this time, Cherry can lock the coordinates of the token user more accurately.
But now, Cherry said, the taste seemed to have disappeared.
The place where it disappeared was under the Companion Star Lake.
Could it be that it entered the dark hole under the companion star lake? But even if it entered the dark hole, the smell would not completely disappear, right?
With doubts, Huayuan came to the Companion Lake, which was the place where the candy user jumped into the lake, hoping to find some clues here.
But... there are no clues.
However, Hua Yuan saw a young man on a bench nearby, who was staring at her in surprise.
Hua Yuan was not surprised by this. After all, she had just flown over and was probably seen by him.
That surprised face was exactly what she expected.
She was beautiful, a powerful beauty, and she wore the young man's favorite uniform. He probably had already developed a curiosity and a liking for her.
If she went over and flirted with him a few more times, it would be easy for her to eat her young grass.
Although Hua Yuan is not young anymore, she is still very confident in handling little boys.
However, thinking of her husband who was traveling around, she resisted the tempting choice of picking young grass.
I definitely won’t pull it out.
But since this young man was sitting here, maybe he saw the user of the token and he could go over and ask him if he really jumped into the lake?
Thinking of this, Hua Yuan signaled Yingtao not to hug her legs. Then she straightened her slightly wrinkled hip-hugging skirt, and then confidently puffed out her chest and walked towards the young man.
On the other side, there was a young man sitting on a chair—Ingres.
He was staring at Hua Yuan with sharp eyes.
To be precise, what he was looking at was not Hua Yuan, but the information flowing through Hua Yuan.
"Overall potential level: eight stars"
"Potential review: This is a ridiculously expensive Faro perfume!"
"Most recommended development direction: Fragrance (eight stars)"
"The recommended development direction: dye (five stars), idol (five stars), fashion (four stars), driving (three stars)... housekeeping (one star)."
Angel had been using the God's perspective, so when this low-flying mature woman appeared in the Companion Lake, he noticed her immediately.
Moreover, as she kept getting closer to the place where Sigimund entered the water, Ingres had already guessed her identity in his heart. If nothing unexpected happened, she must be the famous King of Flowers.
Angel was still very curious about this "quasi-king" level magician.
So, I gave her a potential eye.
Her potential information instantly appeared in front of Angel.
The fact that potential can emerge shows that Huayuan's strength has not yet reached the level of true knowledge. Once it reaches true knowledge, the potential eye will only see a question mark.
Speaking of which... the last time Angel used his potential eye to see a field of question marks was also at the Companion Star Lake.
When I cast my potential eye at a walking woman of unknown identity, all I got in return were question marks.
It was then that Angel realized that once one reaches the level of True Knowledge, the Potential Eye can no longer see through potential. However, people who can reach the level of True Knowledge do not need to talk about potential anymore, as they have already fully utilized their potential...
Normally, the highest potential level is ten stars.
At present, Angel has not met anyone with full star potential.
The highest potential star level he has encountered is Hua Yuan's eight stars.
This is also why he looked surprised when he saw Huayuan.
You know, Com, who was designated by him as his personal card-drawing machine and suspected to have a destiny bonus, only has seven stars.
It can be seen how exaggerated Huayuan’s eight-star potential is.
What surprised Angel the most was Huayuan's eight-star potential, which was... fragrance.
Fragrance is a noun, but it does not refer to a single fragrance here, but a whole set of processes, including finding fragrance, making fragrance, smelling fragrance...
Whether it is making ordinary fragrance or extraordinary fragrance, Huayuan's potential is eight stars.
In other words, if Huayuan were a wizard, she would definitely become an excellent aroma alchemist, and with her potential, she would have a great chance of entering the research and development institute.
Angel himself is an alchemist, so he was naturally surprised to see an alchemy seedling with such high potential.
Unfortunately, Huayuan is just an NPC.
If he could meet Huayuan in real life, Angel would be happy to introduce her to Lianna.
While Ingres was distracted, Hua Yuan had already swayed and walked in front of Ingres.
"Handsome boy, it's not polite to keep staring at your sister." Hua Yuan bent down, deliberately revealing the cleavage under her collar, slightly adjusted the corners of her eyes, and said in a slightly teasing tone.
Ingres said nothing, but a faint light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Huayuan also noticed the glimmer. She raised her eyebrows and said, "So you are also a fashion magician. I thought you were just an ordinary person."
Although she didn't know what kind of magic Angel was using, Huayuan didn't sense any malice in it, so she didn't take it too seriously. However, her expression changed from deliberately charming to more restrained.
"It is very rude to use magic on a witch without thinking."
Angel chuckled and said nothing. He had indeed used fashion magic again, but this time he did not use the power of the style eye, but instead used the magic of the time radio: People with Stories.
Hua Yuan sat down on the other side of the bench: "Before, I thought you were surprised to see me flying. Now it seems that you recognized me, right?"
"Come on, give me the pen."
Angel: “……?”
Huayuan: "Sign. Sign on paper, or sign on clothes, or...if you have my cheering uniform, I might sign your name on the chest of the uniform because you are pretty handsome~"
After saying that, Hua Yuan even winked at Angel.
Angel was silent. As expected of an "idol" with five-star potential, he even had a cheering club and even released cheering uniforms.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Hua Yuan retracted her hand and lifted the hair that fell from her temples: "I can't let you take advantage of me so easily. If you want me to sign in at a special position, you have to tell me something first."
"Did you see anyone else nearby? Like, someone jumping into the lake?"
Hua Yuan stared at Angel, as if trying to capture his expression to confirm whether he was lying.
However, Angle had no intention of playing the "lie detection" game with her, but directly said: "Ms. Huayuan, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Hua Yuan was stunned and frowned: "What do you mean?"
Angel: "It means exactly what it says. I don't have time to explain it to you. If you don't leave now, the entrance to the dark corner will be closed."
"follow me."
After Angel finished speaking, without waiting for Hua Yuan to react, he took two steps at a time and jumped into the Companion Star Lake with a somersault.
The place where the token entered the water was exactly the place where Hua Yuan had sensed that the user of the token had fallen into the water.
Seeing this scene, Hua Yuan was unable to react for a moment.
After two or three seconds, she whispered, "Did he mention the dark corner just now?"
Cherry, who was holding her arm, nodded: "Yeah."
Huayuan: "...Hold me tight."
The next second, Hua Yuan quickly followed Angel and jumped into the lake.
After entering the water, Hua Yuan subconsciously wanted to cover her chest, after all, she was wearing very thin clothes today. Once it got wet, it would not look good.
However, when Hua Yuan reached out and touched the collar on her chest, she found that... it was dry.
Hua Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had entered a strange light shield. The surrounding water could not penetrate at all.
She was not wet at all and even her breathing was normal.
"Don't be dazed, the area ahead is about to disappear, hurry up and catch up." At this time, a clear male voice came to my ears.
The person who spoke was Angel, who had jumped into the water before her, and he was also covered with a light shield.
If nothing unexpected happens, the light shield on my body should be his magic?
Angel, who was not far away, hooked his finger at her and then dived quickly.
Huayuan hesitated for a moment, then followed...
