I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 683 Qualifications
“The level of anchoring increased rapidly… Why did that happen?”

"I don't know." The staff shook their heads. "We have never seen such a situation. The anchoring level is usually stable and there will not be a sudden increase."

The staff member looked at the electronic screen in his hand with a confused expression.

Li Luo recalled what he had seen in the simulated abyss and wanted to describe it in detail, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to describe the bizarre scene.

"Does everyone see different things in the simulated abyss?" she asked the staff.

"Yes." The staff nodded.

"What will you see?"

"There are many... Some people can see themselves having dinner with their family, some can see what is happening in other layers of the abyss, and some can see a group of small animals dancing... Generally, they are some rather ridiculous pictures, just like a dream, very psychedelic."

"Are those things we saw real?" Li Luo asked.

The staff shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe it's an illusion, maybe it's something happening in another world... Maybe, in another world, there is no abyss at all, and you are having dinner with your family. Or maybe in another world, you are actually a little rabbit, dancing with other little animals?"

At this point, the staff member suddenly looked at Li Luo thoughtfully, and then said something strange: "When you get to the bottom of the abyss, don't worry about what is real and what is an illusion..."

Li Luo wanted to ask why, but seeing the serious look on the staff's face, he could only nod and agree.

After talking with Li Luo for a while, the staff member finally got back to business: "Your test has been completed. I will upload your test data and help you apply for the qualification to go to the real Yuan Kong."

"Thank you."

After expressing his gratitude, Li Luo turned around and looked at the simulated Yuan Kong behind him.

The inky black hole evoked her sad memories again. The deep pool of water was not as calm as it seemed. Instead, undercurrents were surging.

After just looking for a while, Li Luo felt the creepy chill again.

The sunlight poured down from the huge vertical pipes, trying its best to release this last bit of warmth, but Li Luo's body seemed to be isolated from all heat at this moment, completely ignoring the sunlight enveloping him, and his body reached some kind of wonderful low-temperature balance.

She looked at the slightly cool air coming out from under her feet, took out the electronic screen in confusion, and measured her body temperature.

"5℃."

Li Luo looked at the numbers on the electronic screen in disbelief and almost thought that the temperature measuring element of the electronic screen was broken.

She quickly measured other parts of her body and found that they were all within the 5°C range. Li Luo quickly measured the temperature around her and found that the electronic screen on the pipe exposed to sunlight measured a temperature of 27°C.

"Yes...it is true that my body temperature has changed."

After seeing her strange reaction, the staff came closer.

"what happened?"

"My body temperature..."

Before Li Luo finished speaking, the staff member changed his expression to one of understanding.

"Your temperature has dropped, hasn't it?"

"Yes, why is that?"

"This is normal. After coming into contact with the Abyss, your body will be isolated from the things above the Abyss and become 'screened'. Unimportant molecular thermal motion will also be stripped away, which manifests itself on a macro level as a lowering of body temperature." The staff member explained seriously.

"But you don't have to worry, this is a good thing." "Good thing?" Li Luo was a little confused as to why a lower body temperature was a good thing.

"Because you can better adapt to the environment under the abyss."

"Is it in such a low temperature state?" Li Luo asked.

"Yes, you know, there is no sun down there... A world without sunlight is very cold, and this temperature is more suitable."

Listening to the staff's explanation, Li Luo nodded: "With such a temperature, can you still be considered a normal person?"

"Humans who can be accepted by the abyss are no longer considered normal people..." The staff said helplessly, "If your definition of humans is warm-blooded mammals with a body temperature of 37.5℃, then you are no longer considered a human... However, our definition of humans is not so narrow. In the abyss, worrying too much will only add to your troubles."

"There's nothing we can do..." The staff member sighed, "When you gain the qualification, you have to lose something."

"When the fish climbed onto the shore, it lost its tail."

"If birds want to fly, they have to make their bones light and brittle."

"Humans jumped off trees, lost their long arms, degenerated their tails, and lost their thick hair."

"Change is the way for living things to survive. This is also true in the abyss... Don't take it to heart. Just think of it as a form of evolution."

After communicating with the staff, Li Luo no longer worried about her body temperature. She just stared at the numbers on the electronic screen, a little dazed.

"5℃."

These are changes that can be seen intuitively, but what about those changes that cannot be seen?
What other parameters have changed?

This is only physical, what about the mind?
Are there any "unimportant" thoughts that have been isolated by Yuan Kong? Or have they been quietly changed?
Li Luo did not dare to think further, for she was afraid that if she thought about it any further, she might even deny her very essence as a human being.

"Then, are the 'people' who have been thoroughly screened, the 'people' who are extremely pure, still real 'people'?"

Sure enough, just as the staff said, we can't worry about it.

Li Luo sighed and turned off his electronic screen.

The staff looked at her performance and knew that she had finally figured it out.

"Be happy, you are one of the people who can enter the fifth level of the abyss. There are only a handful of such people in the entire human society. You can be considered a superhuman. If there is a ranking list, you will be among the top."

The staff member smiled at Li Luo and held up the electronic screen.

"Smile and I'll take a picture of you."

Listening to the staff's encouragement, Li Luo forced a smile.

"Okay, it's done. This will be your qualification certificate photo."

The staff member fiddled with the electronic screen for a while and said to Li Luo: "Your qualification certificate has been uploaded to the database. You can get ready to go and see the world under the abyss..."

"Is it okay now?" Li Luo still didn't react.

"Yes, once the test is completed, the qualification will be announced soon. Look at your electronic screen, you should have received the notification..."

As he was speaking, Li Luo's electronic screen lit up.
