Chapter 707 - 707 New Route
Last week when Ma Lu left, he had already dealt with the matters concerning Hou De, but the Bug Egg had not yet completed its next upgrade. So, over the following two weeks, he went back to the several previous Planes, collecting some ingredients that had not been gathered before.
Only in the third week, did the Bug Egg finally develop a New Route.
By then, the pathways in the Egg's diagram had reached a total of five.
Ma Lu looked at the four pathways on the left of his hand, each representing a route.
The newly developed route was located on his right side, somewhat distant from the previous four, appearing lonely.
Ma Lu didn't think too much. As he mentally selected the new route, his body lightened and he was pulled by a mysterious force, flying towards that path.
Accelerating continuously, he eventually crashed into a profound, water-wrapped Blue Egg.
Could it be that this Plane has something to do with water? Perhaps it's to test his fishing skills.
Ma Lu thought to himself, pitying that Radish Patch couldn't be used on High-Dimensional Artifacts, otherwise, if he had brought the Sea King Stool, wouldn't he go on a killing spree without [Destiny's Protection]?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and when he opened his eyes, indeed he saw a mass of water.
However, the cluster of water wasn't in a river or sea, nor in a cup, but was rather floating in the air.
Floating along with it was a pot of some unknown plant, and a mechanical arm that looked broken, seemingly pulled apart by a great force—the wires dangling in the air.
There were also a broken screwdriver, a boot twice the size of an adult male's footbed—Ma Lu couldn't imagine who could wear such big shoes—a crowbar which seemed still usable, and some other small items like screws, nuts, and metal fragments.
Of course, Ma Lu's body was also floating.
Having recently been to The Moon, Ma Lu was not unfamiliar with this state.
This is—zero gravity.
Ma Lu continued looking around; right now, he was in a sealed room.
The room was about ten square meters, the main door and the walls were made of metal. Ma Lu tried knocking, and judging from the echos, the thickness wasn't low—at least four to five centimeters—which clearly wasn't something a crowbar could break through.
And since they weren't ingredients, the Chef's Knife was of no use either.
The facilities in the room were very simple, or rather rudimentary.
Aside from the miscellaneous items floating in the air, there was only a strip of light over the head providing illumination, a single bed for resting, and a terminal on the opposite wall.
First, Ma Lu pushed the bed, but it didn't budge, it seemed to have been welded to the floor.
Then, he approached the terminal. The title 'Scholar' which Ma Lu possessed, helped him in understanding the text below.
—Xinghuan Communications Technology.
It must be the manufacturing company behind the terminal.
Ma Lu wasn't in a hurry to operate the terminal, instead, he first took out [Destiny's Protection].
As a veteran procurement specialist who had traversed four Planes, Ma Lu's sense of danger was very sharp.
Just by observing the surroundings of this new Plane gave him an ominous hunch.
This was definitely not a good place, so Ma Lu chose to activate his Golden Finger immediately.
He tossed [Destiny's Protection] upwards with the fastest speed, but unlike usual, the chip did not fall down this time, but instead kept tumbling and flew towards the ceiling.
He had almost forgotten, he was still in a zero-gravity environment.
However, no big deal, because in the next moment, the chip had already hit the ceiling and stopped.
Ma Lu looked up and saw a number.
—44.
Well, that number didn't seem very auspicious.
However, no matter what, he had at least gotten a hold of his trump card, although he temporarily didn't know what this trump was.
Then, Ma Lu started fiddling with the terminal on the wall; he had already explored the room quite well, to leave he needed to first open the door, and perhaps this terminal could control the door.
However, very quickly, Ma Lu was met with a new challenge; operating the terminal required entering a password.
Ma Lu entered random fields twice, both failed, and he didn't dare to try a third time, as there was a mechanical voice warning of a half-hour freeze.
He could only search the room, people who have played escape room games knew that the answer generally lies near the problem.
Regrettably, this wasn't an escape room game, the room had only a few things, besides a few numbers printed on nuts, no letters were found elsewhere.
And the sequence of numbers on the nuts wasn't right either.
Under pressure, Ma Lu had no choice but to bang on the door, making noise to call for external help, hoping someone could hear, and this time his efforts finally paid off.
A sound came from outside; to hear it more clearly, Ma Lu posted his ear against the metal door.
Then he heard a series of clinking and clanking sounds, dense like raindrops hitting glass.
Ma Lu was still curious about what was outside the door, when suddenly a sharp pain struck his temple, and then he lost consciousness.
Did I just...die?
Ma Lu vaguely felt something penetrating his head, followed by his demise.
According to the rules, he would drop all his gathered possessions this trip and be forcibly teleported back to Earth.
But the next moment when he opened his eyes, he saw a globe of water still floating in the air.
At the same time, the [Traveler's Bracelet] on his wrist suddenly popped up an alert.
[Attention Attention Attention...A special high-dimensional energy has been detected; new rules are being inserted into the current Universe]
[New rules inserted completely… Upon meeting the activation criteria, additional functions will now be activated]
[Function Number 44]
[Congratulations on experiencing a death, the Rewind function has been enabled for you, this function operates automatically without the need for management]
Death rewind, unlimited resurrection?
Ma Lu's eyes lit up, feeling revived, he hadn't expected this time's Golden Finger to actually be unlimited resurrection.
Ma Lu then checked the Traveler's Bracelet and noticed that the countdown had also reverted back to 17 hours.
Wow, this ability seems quite strong.
Yet, Ma Lu quickly calmed down because the price of activating thi
What do you think?
