Above Destiny

Chapter 384: Happy but not satisfied (Thanks to the leader of Happy but not satisfied
An Ning was very angry, very angry!

I didn’t talk to Ji Jue for a full ten minutes!

Then I realized that if I endured it for a while, I would get angrier and angrier, and if I took a step back, I would be furious... For the sake of the overall situation, I could only put myself in a difficult position. When had I, the great Bai Lu, ever suffered such humiliation?

Then, when Ji Jue inadvertently raised his head and looked at the rearview mirror, he saw a little turtle on his face.

?

He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized there was one more!
Moreover, the number of little turtles continued to increase with the frequency of his trance, and finally they crawled onto his neck. When he raised his hand to wipe them off, he found that his fingers had been glued to the steering wheel without him knowing when...

Well, the shoelaces are tied, too.

???

Ji Jue turned around and glared, but An Ning was still restrained by mercury, pretending to be calm and looking away, as if nothing had happened.

"…Is it childish?"

"What's childish?"

An Ning glared at him, "Anyway, I am illiterate, I am a bad guy, I came from a thousand miles away to help you, but I am still despised... I don't want to be with you anymore! Stop the car! Stop the car! I want to go home and never talk to you again!"

Although he spoke fiercely, he still looked pitiful, as if he was tied to a chair and unable to move.

Just turned his head away, angry.

Until Ji Jue sighed silently, the nature of things interfered, evaporated the glue on his fingers, and reached out to rub her hair.

Then it was shaken off.

Not happy!
But after Ji Jue took his hand back, he found that she was even more unhappy!
"..."

Ji Jue sighed and reached out his hand again. Her expression became ferocious again, and she bared her teeth and howled as if she wanted to bite him, until Ji Jue ignored her resistance and forcefully pressed his hand on her head.

Physical submission, after a fierce rub, the five fingers are spread out.

A crystal clear crystal product was in his palm.

It looks like a pink gem tadpole, with a round head, a slender body, and a small tail. At first glance...

"..."

An Ning was stunned for a moment, dazed, shocked, and for a moment she even forgot that she was still angry. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks: "Brother Ji Jue, are you, are you so proactive? I'm actually... not that casual... really..."

Snapped!
Ji Jue was furious and hit her on the head.

“What are you thinking about!” Ji Jue was completely defeated: “Rupert’s Tears, you must know about Rupert’s Tears, right?! Why don’t you check it yourself…”

As soon as An Ning opened her mouth, the state of mind that he had managed to get back in order was ruined again.

What is the work I worked so hard on being regarded as?!
After searching hurriedly for a long time with her head down, An Ning looked up blankly, dodging Ji Jue's gaze as he glared at her. Then she snatched Ji Jue's work and started playing with it.

Pretend nothing happened.

"That's just a small apology. Don't expect me to forgive you so quickly!"

"..."

Ji Jue shook his head and didn't want to talk anymore.

Tired.

According to the processing definition, when a glass solution dissolved at high temperature is dropped into ice water, the tadpole-shaped glass crystal formed is called Rupert's Tears or Rupert's Drops.

Although it is not clear who this Rupert is, since everyone calls him that, we just call him that. It doesn't matter.

Its characteristics are that the head is extremely hard, and the internal compressive stress and surface tensile stress are sufficient to withstand a considerable degree of impact. Once the tail is broken, the whole will instantly shatter and collapse.

They are usually used as art pieces and can be seen everywhere, so they are not uncommon.

However, if it is combined with An Jia's projection skills, the effect will have a qualitative leap - the teardrop-shaped head contour that has been readjusted according to fluid mechanics is enough to stabilize itself in the state of high-speed projection, while maintaining the stability of the structure when encountering metal or repulsive defense, causing sufficient impact force.

At the same time, once the tail breaks, the fragments can cause a secondary explosion.

Whether it is used to deal with heavily armored targets with full defense like the Ruins, or to deal with opponents with full control ability like the Tianyuan, it has a certain effect.

Besides, with Anjia's skills in shooting, it would only be more complicated to play.

There was no need for Ji Jue to instruct An Ning on the specific usage. After playing with it for a while, she had almost figured it out. She held it in her hand with great excitement and started to fly it like a small airplane.

The main material used is the superior material of the ruins series collected by Ji Jue after Yue Chen's death - dust crystal. However, this kind of consumable can be reconstructed with scraps. Needless to say, its weight and hardness are also mixed with a part of the evil wolf poison extracted from the blood of the wolf.

He made one or two, so he simply melted down a considerable portion of the unusable fragments and made a box.

When An Ning found out that the boxes were all hers, her eyes lit up immediately. She hummed a song and forgot that she was angry just now. She even pretended to exclaim:
"Hey, Brother Ji Jue, what's that on your face? Let me help you wipe it off."

"..."

Ji Jue rolled his eyes but did not resist, letting her touch him while wiping him. He just said, "It's just a consumable. Don't waste it if you use it. If there are any shortcomings or drawbacks, don't be embarrassed and tell me as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

An Ning narrowed her eyes: "Thank you, Brother Ji Jue!"

Ji Jue also laughed.

You’re welcome. After I finish testing the prototype here, I will give the upgraded product to Xiao An.

This makes all three of them happy!

It was a long journey, but after a day's march, I encountered no opponents.

After entering Longyuan, all the contestants wisely distanced themselves from each other, and in the desert and Gobi wasteland, no one dared to cause any trouble during the live broadcast of the entire event.

Anyone who dared to do this would have died in Huangzhou and Kunwu long ago.

The day was calm and uneventful.

After taking a look at the satellite map, Ji Jue calculated his race time and found that he was already leading by more than nine hours, so he decided not to rush.

After nightfall, we stopped the car and chose to camp.

"Brother Ji Jue, look quickly, look quickly!!!"

An Ning rolled over from the other end of the sand dune, holding a black tail in her hand. As she moved, a giant gray wolf that was twice as tall as her was dragged over, lying there pretending to be dead with a look of despair.

The wolves, as predators in the wilderness, didn't even dare to get close. They just looked from a distance. After noticing An Ning's gaze, they immediately tucked their tails between their legs and kept their distance.

"Look, look, Fluffy!"

An Ning was dancing like a lion, with her hands on the giant wolf's armpits, lifting its entire upper body and shaking it back and forth.

"..."

Ji Jue sighed silently, "Stop abusing animals."

"Where!"

An Ning retorted loudly, grabbed the huge wolf head and rubbed it twice: "Look, how much it likes me!"

No, the wolf's expression clearly showed that it was about to cry out of fear, right?

Shivering.

But soon, An Ning found a new way to play. She took out a rope and tied it to the wolf. Then, she waved a small whip and forced it to pull the sled that she had just rubbed by hand and started racing.

"Woohoo, take off~"

"Yeah!"

"Oh--"

Under the threat of death, the giant wolf ran wildly in fear, white foam almost coming out of its mouth. It did not dare to stop, and its speed became faster and faster, pulling her back and forth on the yellow sand, drifting and galloping.

The little calf-horse was like a fool, chasing after her and shining a light for her.

"..."

Ji Jue shook his head and chose to stay away.

Don't let this naughty kid tie you up...

The phone vibrated slightly, and a message came from afar:
Isis: [The first phase of equipment procurement has been completed, and the installation work will be completed within five days. Considering the recent price fluctuations of mountain copper and structural silver, it is recommended to wait and see. The following adjustments are made to the initial configuration——]

After reading it, Ji Jue replied: [Okay, thank you for your hard work. ]

Isis: [Please rest assured, I will cherish the wealth you have gained by selling your body :-)]

【? ? ? 】

Ji Jue felt that the question marks popping up in his mind had never stopped today.

No, what the hell is selling your body? It's called going through life and death. And what's with this emoji? It's full of sarcasm!

[You're welcome. This is what I should do. ]

Isis replied calmly: [Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey. ]

“…” Ji Jue raised his head and looked at the night sky.

The stars shine brightly, so clear and so close that you can almost touch them.

It also seemed as if he was silent, looking down with his eyes cast down.

Among the countless stars, it is really difficult to tell which one is from Isis' eyes.

Why do I feel like an overseer?

Ji Jue sighed silently.

Look, look, just look! After it's over, when the satellite permission expires, I wonder what you can use to look at it!

No, she seemed to be checking her phone...

Oh, that's okay.

Ji Jue withdrew his gaze and continued to process the materials at hand, racing against time.

Even under the blockade of solid alchemy, many materials are still slowly dissipating and decaying. If left alone, most of them may be scrapped by the time they return to Yacheng.

For example, after Yue Chen died, dust crystals appeared on his body.

The ruins are a collection of all matter in the world. The closer you are to the ruins, the clearer the characteristics of your soul and spirit will be. Even if you die, after your body collapses, the essence in material form will be left behind, not to mention that before you die, you have already entered into transcendence.

In Ji Jue's hand, the amber dust gradually stabilized.

It was a small particle, but as heavy as a boulder. Before being activated by spiritual essence, its properties were extremely stable, like gravel, but if used properly, even just one particle would be enough to make a qualitative leap in the carrying capacity and physical properties of an entire blessed work, while at the same time, the rigidity, toughness, hardness, strength, and other physical indicators would be fully maximized.

Ji Jue's mercury jar is already more than half full of this precious material, and this is after repeated purifications, when many unstable and imperfect impurities were screened out.

Or maybe it can be said that the chosen one is full of treasures.

In addition to the dust crystals, thanks to Ji Jue's immediate collection, he also took advantage of the opportunity to grab two higher-level blessings of the ruins - [Rock Solidity] and [Human and Heaven Are One].

Once the blessing of Rock Solid is activated, the defenses of the target and the user will cover the entire body and be considered as one, from the most vulnerable eyelids to the most unnoticed toes.

Any impact suffered by any part of the body will be dispersed throughout the body and borne by the whole body.

No more blind spots or weak points.

All in one.

The disadvantage is... if one person suffers, all suffer.

A good blacksmith must be strong himself. Blessing can ensure that you have no weaknesses, but if your own defensive capabilities are weak, then what’s the difference between that and having weaknesses all over your body?
And [The Isomorphism between Man and Nature] perfectly complements this problem.

Its effect is even simpler. It connects the user or creation with the surrounding matter through the flow of spiritual essence, making it inseparable and unshakable.

Usually, when the chosen ones of the ruins use this blessing, they connect to the land beneath their feet, or even to the vast veins of the earth formed by the gathering of countless materials under the earth. Unless the land and veins within the connection range are dug out and completely shoveled away, even if a large truck or a train is coming towards you, it is impossible for you to retreat even a single step.

If these two blessings are combined together, the defense of the Chosen One will skyrocket to the sum of all substances within the range of its spiritual flow.

If it weren't for the use of worms to pollute and interfere with the earth veins during the rain of blood disaster, Yue Chen might have been able to rush to Ji Jue and bombard him to death!

Just with these two blessings, it can be said that Ji Jue's trip was not in vain.

Solidity of Rock and Isomorphism of Man and Heaven are also the most important cores in many blessing chains. With them in hand, many blessing chains such as [Iron Siege] and [Hellfire Plowshare] are just the missing pieces.

In Ji Jue's plan, the sequence chain he wanted to complete was the top sequence composed of the blessings of the pure ruins series - [As Still as a Mountain].

Improve your own defense to the greatest extent, and at the same time, take root and stand on the ground, like a towering mountain, unshakable.

This is the most suitable design for calves and horses.

After being equipped with the essence of dragon blood, the Little Maverick can be said to be a ruins chosen one that can be transformed into a car, and the defense of the Longshan armor will be further enhanced to a level that is not inferior to Yue Chen.

In addition to the blessing, under the dissociation technique, Yue Chen's matrix also brought Ji Jue an understanding of the wasteland that almost made his brain boil. Combined with the foundation he learned from Sister Wen before, if Ji Jue works harder, he can realize a copycat version of the wasteland stasis belt within the interference range of his own spiritual essence, just like Master Kong.

Unfortunately, compared to Yue Chenzhi's generosity, Wolf Evil had nothing left except a little poisonous blood.

Blessings, souls, and even lives, all went to Bai Lumao!

The converted performance was directly sent to An Ning, and Ji Jue didn't get any of it.

How should I put it? Seeing the second-best guy in the live broadcast room sending rockets to others, Ji Jue felt a little sour in his heart... It was so funny, did anyone say that you are really pretentious? Anyway, I don’t really want it...

Compared to the stingy Bai Lu, Da Nie is still nicer to himself!
Give it when you say give it, give it when you say send it, and you are so angry when you don’t want it! There was the corruption in the front and the Baiguan in the back, which one didn’t use all the pension to subsidize Ji Jue?
Just like the broken scale from the evil of the White House.

Even though it was broken into pieces, the terrifying vitality inside had not dissipated. Ji Jue had no idea how big the fish was, but just by looking at the fact that the python had wasted so much and had consumed less than a third of it, he knew how terrifying it was.

Even though this cursed vitality has been completely distorted and is like a deadly poison to the Chosen One, and is completely unable to replenish itself, but... my opponent certainly won't mind.

With the suppression and guidance of the evil alchemy and the purification process of the fluid alchemy, there is no need to worry about the gap in Pan Ying's blood sacrifice.

With such pure quality and such terrifying quantity, maybe after using up one, you can make another half. The leftovers are enough for Ji Jue to make countless more bullets.

At this moment, in Ji Jue's hand, the broken sword of Pan Ying made a low sound.

After being dipped in blood, the sword blade grew another inch, and was one step closer to completion, already halfway there!

According to the Han Xiang Pian, the next step is the hard work of grinding without shortcuts. While tempering and recasting again and again, the sword must be cleansed and the soul must be trained, using the craftsman's own consciousness as a whetstone to straighten the crooked branches and sharpen the impurities. In the process of gradually adding blessings and completing the sequence, through repeated sharpening and correction, the distortion and fierceness are gradually suppressed, and after the impurities are peeled off, the essence is further purified.

Until the viciousness is completely gone, evil is transformed into good, and from crippled to whole, then, it will be the true God's work that triumphs over evil!
But... after calculating the cost of modifying the calf horse, and then calculating the materials and equipment needed for [Unmovable as a Mountain], and then calculating the subsequent investment in Panying, Ji Jue suddenly felt that the little money he earned in the past few days didn't seem to be enough?
Is this the efficiency of craftsmen burning money?
Loved it.

Amidst his emotion and regret, Ji Jue lowered his eyes with a calm expression. He raised his hand and slowly pushed his palm across the Panying sword that was placed diagonally in front of his knees.

A ray of spiritual essence with a faint silver glow lingered on the fingertips. With the cooperation and resonance of many blessings and the push of non-attack, it swept across the sharp blade like a whetstone.

Time and again, the subtle lingering sound of metal friction burst out as the sword vibrated.

Along with the seemingly tireless sharpening and reshaping, a wisp of mist with faint scarlet and black colors emanated from the blade. Before it dissipated in the air, it was captured and blocked by the flowing mercury.

After all, it is Pan Ying, with deep roots of evil.

There are no shortcuts or easy methods in the Nine Forms of Elephant and Sword - all the lessons you skip must be made up in the end.

Although it is easy to cast Pan Ying, if you really want to succeed, the effort spent on sharpening it will be several times greater than that of other similar products.

With their own spirit and matrix as the whetstone, any craftsman who wavers will be attacked by the evil spirit. Even if Ji Juefei is not afraid of erosion in his hand, and there is a trace of the essence of the edge of change in his spirit, the speed is many times faster than others, and the effect can be said to be immediate, but it still requires a long time to invest.

The further you go, the harder it becomes.

But don’t worry…

Just take your time.

Under the bright moonlight, Ji Jue raised the sword, stared at his own reflection in the scarlet light, and laughed silently.

"Brother Ji Jue, look here! Look here!"

Excited shouts were heard not far away.

When Ji Jue looked back, An Ning, who was holding a camera, pressed the shutter on the sand dune. In the instant of crisp sound, the scene under the brilliant night sky seemed to be preserved forever.

Unfortunately, the parameters were not adjusted correctly, there were some issues with the focus, and the picture was blurry.

Ji Jue's expression was also dull and silly.

It's hardly a masterpiece.

Long before the picture appeared on the camera, Ji Jue had already got the result. He could delete the photo with just a thought, but in the moment of hesitation, he saw An Ning's smiling face.

He stared down at the picture on the screen, smiling unconsciously, his eyes sparkling.

For some reason, that flash of light hurt his eyes.

...Forget it, let her be.

Ji Jue lowered his head, put away Pan Ying, told her to go to bed early, then yawned and walked towards his sleeping bag.

It’s been a long time since I felt so relaxed.

Now that it's night time, I feel sleepy.

Go to sleep when you are tired.

No more rolling.

He crawled into the sleeping bag, leaned comfortably on the pillow, and gazed at the starry sky. When he looked back, he met another pair of eyes in the sleeping bag.

"squeak?"

The ignorant little mouse tilted its head and looked at the owner of the cave.

I don't understand the situation.

In the silence, only Ji Jue's smile was frozen on his face. After a long, long time, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

Roaring up to the sky:

"An Ning!!!!"
