Chapter 283 Have you ever been hit by the speed of light?
"Boss, you are a genius."

Rose complimented sincerely, from the bottom of her heart, because her boss not only mastered the Runes completely in three days, but more importantly, he did what neither she nor Saruman's adopted sons had done before, which was to completely master the Runes.

What does that mean?

No one knows who invented the runic script, and it is impossible to verify it.

But what is certain is that there are only twenty-six runes in total, but they can be used to express all the extraordinary knowledge in the world and pass it down.

In the simplest terms, runes are like building blocks that you can use to create anything you can think of.

However, this is only in theory.

In fact, for most extraordinary people, every time they see a book written in runes, it is equivalent to learning and memorizing them from scratch. This is because, although there are only twenty-six runes, once they are spelled together, their inherent extraordinary properties will make them completely unfamiliar and difficult to interpret.

Only those who can fully understand the Runes from its most fundamental level can read this knowledge at will.

She can't do it.

But her boss can.

"hehe."

Li Zhongren touched his nose.

He did not use precious skill points to learn Runes, but he discovered some techniques to learn Runes.

How do I put it? It's like a programming language.

With the twenty-six runic letters, there are infinite permutations and combinations possible.

However, if you study in this way, every time you read a new book, it is equivalent to reading the source code of a new program. It is not easy to study it thoroughly.

Don’t you see, the new programmers who have inherited the shitty code of the previous generation of programmers are most afraid that the previous generation’s program does not even have a comment. That is really disgusting.
Li Zhongren is not a programmer, and he doesn't even understand programming.

However, he thought of something, the visualization diagram.

Yes, in Li Xiaoao's world, there are visualization diagrams, where masters leave their spiritual will on a diagram, which can be used to pass on martial arts.

Therefore, Li Zhongren did not need to care about how these so-called books with densely packed runes were written. He just needed to visualize them as a whole, and in an instant, the whole world would be different.

What kind of feeling is it?

He recalled the feeling of watching a naked-eye 3D picture for the first time in his life. It was a kind of thing that looked like a mess at first glance, but as long as you aligned your eyes and then separated them, you could see the image inside.

When he read these books in this way, every time he read one, an incomplete skill would be left on the panel.

"Okay, go and have a rest. I'll study and improve my skills on my own."

"Okay, boss."

Rose stood up, intentionally or unintentionally exposing her cleavage, but unfortunately, her boss didn't even look at it. She felt a little frustrated, but also a little relieved. If it always stayed like this, it would be pretty good.

"So, which ability should we learn?"

Li Zhongren looked at the bunch of skills on the panel and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The cost of silence.

After a long time, he thought of these four words.

He has invested three skill points to gain the invincible ability of Blood Rage.

It turns him into a humanoid tank with super high mobility, super high defense, super high combat effectiveness, and super high self-healing ability.

But his upper limit is tank.

This is also the result he got after studying these days.

He can think of himself as a tank with one-meter-thick armor all around, but even the frontal armor still has a chance of being penetrated by anti-tank shells. And if the shell that penetrates him is a forbidden magic bullet, only one shot is needed to send him to meet the god of death in this world.

This is also what Li Zhongren said before, the reason why such a world can still have a relatively stable political power. The existence of the magic-forbidden stone curbs the misconduct of the extraordinary people.

Therefore, his best option is to find a skill that can complement Blood Rage.

Or increase the defense against point attacks.

Or increase your own reconnaissance capabilities so you can avoid attacks that you cannot defend against in advance.

Or maybe find a way to counter the magic-forbidden stone.

With this idea in mind, Li Zhongren once again turned his attention to the pile of skills that were waiting to be tapped. In the end, he selected three skills.

Invisibility.

Beyond visual range perception.

Red Flame Cannon.

The reason is also very simple.

He has positioned himself as a tank.

Then just be a tank.

Invisibility allows him to have the ability to hide himself.

Beyond visual range perception, similar to the divine consciousness in the world of immortal cultivation, allows him to survey targets as far as several kilometers away.

Red Flame Cannon.

A fire spell with an extremely long range, and its energy source is through absorbing and transforming light.

With these skills combined, he can become a profession that can provide support and attack from a distance, and can also engage in cautious melee combat at close range. If he finds that the opponent has a large number of forbidden magic stones, he can fire from a distance. Otherwise, he can engage in close combat at close range, and he can even stealthily approach and assassinate a wave of enemies first.
After thinking it over again and making sure that he had not missed anything, Li Zhongren decisively clicked on all the skill points.

Each skill still gets three skill points.

All three skills have also been mega evolved.

Invisibility - The confusing light changes from a single entity to an area. Everything in the area, including sounds, waves, energy, and the like, will be hidden.

Beyond visual range perception - three-dimensional world projection, also known as the mini-map, is a permanent passive skill that can display all targets within the range on the mini-map. It seems to overlap with the system's map, but that map has a fog of war, and this three-dimensional world projection can light up the fog. Only when the two are combined can it be considered a truly complete form.

Red Flame Cannon-A Certain Scientific Railgun!

This is the most interesting. The original Red Flame Cannon absorbed sunlight, and the so-called sunlight is just a part of the visible light in the electromagnetic wave. After it becomes a super-electromagnetic cannon, it can absorb and store all the fluctuations in this world, and the whole process is silent. It will not generate a lot of light and heat like the Red Flame Cannon.

With a sharp weapon in mind, the desire to kill arises naturally. When I have the ability, I just want to fuck him.
I don’t know how much time had passed, Li Zhongren opened his eyes and thought so in his heart.

"As for the goal."

"What the hell??"

Looking at the collapsed Forbidden Magic Castle, Li Zhongren felt like he had punched cotton.

He was hiding in the box, so naturally he had no idea what was happening outside.

However, after sneaking out, he found that the Forbidden Magic Castle had been burned down.

It is obvious that Saruman's adopted sons and daughters are still very capable.

"Then forget it."

After a moment's hesitation, Li Zhongren quietly left the castle, which had become a ruin, and headed towards Pereira, the closest city to the castle. He first went to eat something good, and then see if he could trigger some tasks or something. After all, to him, this world was like a game. Besides, if he went to Pereira so openly, it would probably attract the attention of those adopted sons and daughters, and then the tasks would come to him.
The city of Pereira.

A neighboring city of Pallas.

In fact, in this world, a city and its coverage area are roughly equivalent to a province or a city, and the main city is the center of the province or city.

However, although the two cities are geographically closest to each other, Pereira is a purely industrial city compared to the agricultural city of Paras.

Looking around, it looks like old London. From afar, you can see thick fog. Therefore, the city of Pereira actually has a nickname, called the Fog City.

It sounds romantic, but it's all smog. Most ordinary people living here suffer from pneumoconiosis.

As for the nobles, they are naturally no exception, but they are rich and this world is an extraordinary world. Even a mere pneumoconiosis can be cured as long as they are willing to spend money, but ordinary people cannot afford that money.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough."

Walking in the city of Pereira, Li Zhongren experienced firsthand what the hell this foggy city is.

Everywhere you look, there is smog. The whole city seems like a world shrouded in dust.

It feels a bit like the end of the world.

Pedestrians on the street who don't have money to wear gas masks will cough from time to time.

Even Li Zhongren himself could feel the haze in the air flowing through his respiratory tract and attacking his lungs every time he took a breath. Fortunately, his body was able to heal it instantly.
"This place is really weird. So, the mayor of this city doesn't care at all?"

As he spoke, Li Zhongren looked at Ross standing beside him and asked.

"Yeah, whatever."

Rose, who was following Li Zhongren, looked around from time to time. She was very familiar with this city because she grew up here. Her parents were workers here and both died of pneumoconiosis when she was very young.

She became a street child.

Later, he survived by selling his body.

Later, he awakened unexpectedly and became a superhuman, gradually becoming a mercenary and was finally hired by Saruman.

For her, there was nothing worth recalling in this city. On the contrary, every glance at it was filled with unbearable memories.

Of course, she is not that fragile and does not have any psychological trauma. Today, she has already let it go.

"There are mines behind this city. It is a very important machinery production center of the empire. Therefore, the only meaning of the existence of this city is to continuously produce various steam machines and then transport them to the entire empire."

“But does this conflict with pollution control?”

Li Zhongren waved curiously.

"It's just the pollutants emitted from the chimney. It shouldn't be difficult for the extraordinary power to control it."

"Well, I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want to waste money on these things."

"Bullshit."

Li Zhongren curled his lips.

In the previous life, which was a purely industrial world without any extraordinary powers, it was not a difficult task to control pollution. In this extraordinary world, it would be even simpler. In particular, not only the lower class people, but also the nobles in this city were suffering from the pollution of smog.

In other words, there is definitely a secret here.

"Ding~"

Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission.

A crisp voice attracted Li Zhongren's attention.

He looked over and saw that there was a new golden task on the panel, which was the highest level legendary task.

"What the hell??"

"What's the matter, boss?"

"It's okay. Take me to find a place where I can eat, take a shower and sleep. I plan to rest first."

"Okay, boss."

Mission: Your curiosity and logical reasoning ability have led you to the conclusion that this city hides a huge secret, and you decide to explore this secret.

Quest level: Legend.

In the hotel, Li Zhongren took a shower, changed into comfortable pajamas, and leaned back on the soft sofa.

Look at the legendary quest on the quest panel.

There is only one golden mission and nothing else.

However, it seemed that due to the special nature of the legendary mission, the fog of the entire Pereira City was completely illuminated. Now, he could sit at home and clearly see the bird's-eye view map of the entire Pereira City, especially with his newly learned skills.

Now he is like having a living map.

Even if he wanted, he could enlarge the map with his own three-dimensional world projection. For example, at this moment, he could keep zooming in, and even use certain frequency bands of electromagnetic waves to penetrate matter to see Ross taking a bath.

Of course, he wouldn't do that. As I said, to him, dignity is more important than life.

The entire map was glowing with golden light. In other words, if he wanted to find clues to this legendary mission, he had to keep searching in this city.
"It's a legendary mission indeed."

Suddenly, Li Zhongren closed the task interface because several red dots appeared on the map and were moving quickly towards his room. There was no doubt that his whereabouts were most likely discovered by Saruman's adopted sons and daughters.

"That's great. Let me use them to test my abilities."

As he spoke, Li Zhongren raised one of his hands and it turned into a pistol.

"Whoosh~"

Silently, a ball of light slowly gathered at his fingertips, and then six rays of light suddenly shot out from the ball of light, up, down, left, and right, aiming at the six red dots.

Then, the six red dots all turned gray.
“Ha, interesting.”

The first time he used this ability, Li Zhongren couldn't help but widen his eyes.

How can I describe this feeling?

His attack was actually at the speed of light.

Of course, this is not some black technology. In essence, his ability is just a laser gun.

In other words, the moment he pulls the trigger, the attack will hit the target.

To resist this move of his, either you have to maintain your defense at all times, or you have a premonition of crisis faster than he can issue orders.

When he pulled the trigger, it was over.
Have you ever been hit by the speed of light?
He probably understood Kizaru's pretentiousness.
"Boss, what are you doing?"

Rose came out of the bathroom, drying her hair, wearing a simple translucent dress, very conservative, because she found that when she stopped seducing her boss and became more and more conservative, her boss's eyes towards her became softer.

"Saruman's adopted sons came here after smelling the scent. Go check the body to see which group it belongs to."

"Yes, boss!"
