The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

"Eat it, don't waste it. It's shameful to waste food." Miku said when he saw Christen holding the last bite of hot dog without moving.

“……” I don’t understand why Miku asked me to eat the last bite of the hot dog, and isn’t this behavior strange?

Although it was strange, Christen still ate the last bite of the hot dog after hesitating for a moment.

Hearing that Kristen agreed to let Miku go on vacation to those two famous coastal cities, the earth spirit who was sucking vegetable leaves nearby showed a slightly surprised look.

However, Di Ling immediately thought of the fact that Miku had a deep and simple communication relationship with the general governor, so there seemed to be nothing wrong in going to a coastal city for vacation together.

Arturo, who was sitting next to Miku and eating sweets crazily, didn't take it too seriously at first.

It was not until she noticed the Earth Spirit's undisguised thoughts and saw Christen eating the hot dog left by Miku without any hesitation that she was immediately shocked.

Wait, isn’t Commander Kristen’s current body a robot?

This kind of body can also be explained in simple terms?

Arturo, who was in shock, had the same doubts as the earth spirit did at the beginning.

Aren’t you afraid of friction?

65: Entertainment is very important

Because of his doubts about friction, Arturo was tied up like a dumpling by Miku for the whole night and hung on the signal tower of the Rhine Life Mobile Communication Base Station.

Fortunately, the halo and wings on Arturo's body were dull black, and they did not become the brightest and most beautiful scenery in the inn at night.

The only impact was that Arturo, who had been hanging all night, was frozen to death. If she was not a spellcaster at the level of a tower wizard, she would probably have only gotten an angel popsicle after that night.

The nights in Colombia are quite cold even without a cold wave.

Miku was a little puzzled as to why he first thought of hanging Arturo on the signal tower.

After thinking about it, I realized that it was probably influenced by my own habits in this world.

In other words, the "Miku" who once lived on the world of Terra liked to hang others on signal towers or other high places.

Seriously...it's a good habit.

As for why it was the signal tower of a mobile communication base station, even the general manager had arrived, so this communication base station was naturally requisitioned.

Fortunately, since Benjamin was the only one stationed at this base station for a long time, there were many vacant rooms, enough for Miku and his party to use as a hotel.

Although the only one who was actually sleeping was the Earth Spirit who had just joined Rhine Life.

Arturo hung on the signal tower, and Kristen's body didn't need sleep right now.

Miku played games with Benjamin all night.

Not only did he complete Devil’s Soul 3, he also completed the first two games of this series… using Miku’s favorite parkour gameplay.

Because the two previous games have been on the market for a long time and many players have developed parkour gameplay, Benjamin was not too shocked.

However, he still said that Miku's parkour speed has surpassed the record held for several years by the Eastern game master "izumikun~".

After obtaining Miku's permission, Benjamin packaged Miku's speed pass records into a video and uploaded it to the Soul Travel Forum on the Tikarendo City Network.

Then, according to the normal speed of information dissemination, in about a month at most, players far away in the East will know that someone has broken the speed run record of the master "izumikun~".

Benjamin felt excited just thinking about what kind of bloody storm would happen in the Soul World at that time.

In addition to these soul-related games, the two people who stayed up all night also tried many other games.

Miku's final game against the Terrans

The evaluation is that the stand-alone games are pretty good, but there are almost no online games.

There are community-type online games that are limited to a mobile city and a small area around it.

After all, there is no network that can connect the entire world, so it is normal for this situation to occur.

However, even if there are only community-based online games, there is no shortage of card-drawing, money-sucking, and krypton gold-winning projects.

Benjamin, who played games with Miku all night, has at least fifty "wives".

Miku estimated that a large part of the reason why the other party's planned down payment for a one-bedroom apartment in Tremont was because of these wives.

After staying up all night, Benjamin went to work in high spirits, perhaps because of his racial characteristics or habit.

Whether you like it or not, you have to go to work "in high spirits", and you have to sit at the front desk which Benjamin never goes to normally... because the boss is there.

After the groundhog staggered downstairs to punch in for work, Christine came over with a plate of Colombian breakfast sent by John's Mama's employees and sat down next to Miku.

Miku picked up a sausage and put it in his mouth and said to Christen:

"It's very interesting to read about the entertainment in a civilization."

"Very interesting?" Christen, who was holding a cup of coffee but didn't drink it, was a little curious about what Miku meant by "very interesting".

"Well, various forms of entertainment are in some ways more indicative of a civilization's potential for development than other forms of entertainment can reveal."

Miku said to Kristen in a very serious manner.

As he spoke, Miku picked up a game poster at hand. The poster was a promotional poster for the next-generation new work "Ring of Leitania" by the game company that produced the "Demon Soul" trilogy.

According to Benjamin, given the productivity of that game company, this new game will not be released until at least five or six years later.

Because it is a brand new series, telling the story of an ancient Lethanian Witch King, and no longer like "Demon Soul" where you fight the Sarkaz in various ways, it is still worth looking forward to by players.

"The potential for the development of civilization?" Christen couldn't understand why video games could be used as a criterion for judging the potential for the development of civilization.

"Yes, I have always used this method to judge, and it is accurate most of the time."

Miku put down the poster in his hand, turned his chair, and spoke to Kristen next to him face to face.

After saying that, Miku reached out and took the coffee from Kristen's hand and drank it in one gulp.

Christen did not get angry because Miku snatched her coffee. Instead, she picked up another cup from the tray next to her and continued to look at Miku in confusion.

I hope to learn from Miku why we can judge the potential for civilization development from entertainment.

"Because if you can't even play, how can you live?"

Seeing that Christen was full of curiosity, Miku gave an answer that he didn't know whether it could be considered an answer or not.

"Is it because of the ability to entertain that it can develop?" Christen kept thinking about Miku's words.

"Of course, I'm talking about the vast majority. I've also seen civilizations that have fallen into a state of complete entertainment for a variety of reasons."

Miku raised his index finger and shook it gently in front of Kristen and said, "Of course, that kind of situation is rare. Most civilizations that have that kind of situation don't need to use entertainment to judge their development potential."

"?" Kristen showed a puzzled expression again.

"For example, for some reason, a civilization is completely unable to get out of its cradle and can only wait on its home planet until everything is exhausted."

Miku said.

After hearing Miku's additional explanation, Christen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised her head and looked at the ceiling...or rather, looked at the sky behind the ceiling.

From some perspectives, the Terrans are always in a state of being completely trapped on their home planet.

Could it be that the Terran civilization will become like that one day?

While she was worried, the second cup of coffee in Christen's hand was taken away by Miku.

Miku, who took the second cup of coffee, seemed to remember something and said with emotion.

"In fact, that civilization still has thousands or tens of thousands of years before everything runs out. If they use it sparingly, it can last for hundreds of thousands of years."

"In the end, they didn't even last ten years."

"...Is that so?" Kristen was a little worried whether Terra would go into such a future.

"Don't worry, the Terrans won't be like that." Miku said Christen didn't have to worry about whether Terra would have such a future.

“…” Kristen didn’t know where Miku got the confidence to be sure that the Terrans would not reach such a desperate situation.

"Because there are more than just you Terrans in this world." Miku said.

"..." Kristen's expression suddenly became tense.

66: A punch or a kick?

Christen, who was frightened by Miku, was unable to react until she got in the car and set off again.

This made Arturo, who had been hanging on the signal tower in the cold wind all night and had to continue driving without even having breakfast after coming down, look puzzled.

Even the robot's body can be tossed like this, what is the fun of it?

How many flowers?

"Do you want to try it?" Miku, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said to Arturo with a gloomy expression on his face.

"No, no." Arturo, who felt he would die if he tried, quickly shrank his body and started the truck engine as if he realized his mistake.

As the super-heavy truck slowly drove away from the post station, Miku turned around and asked Christen, who was still a little dazed:

"By the way, what happened in Columbia recently?"

"...Oh, sorry." After a second of being stunned, Kristen realized that Miku was asking her a question and said:

"Not much news, but it should be about the Locke Water Tank Laboratory."

"Should?" Miku looked at Christen in surprise. If she remembered correctly, she used the exclusive identification code of the Rhine Life Administration, so she couldn't find any exact information?

"I usually keep this information in another database, which is isolated from the outside world." Kristen, who knew what Miku was wondering about, explained.

"Oh, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Miku asked, understanding what Kristen meant.

Such top-secret stuff certainly cannot be placed on a device that can be connected via network communications.

For experts in this field, no matter how good the confidentiality measures are, as long as it is connected to the Internet, it is public data.

"It didn't happen before, but it will happen after this incident," Kristen said.

“???” Miku was stunned for a moment before he understood what Christen meant.

Before the Locke water tank incident broke out, Christen and Rhine Life might not have been involved.

But after the outbreak, Kristen took what she needed from it.

It is even possible that the experiment was restarted privately.

Seeing Miku's expression, Kristen knew that Miku had understood something, and explained:

"The hibernation chamber in Wanxing Garden is the technology of Locke Williams."

"I see." Miku nodded and asked curiously:

“No matter how advanced this technology is, it’s not considered dangerous, right?”

"This is not the purpose of the experiment in the Locke Water Tank Laboratory. The main topic of that laboratory is to study and control the adverse effects of Originium infection on patients with Ore Disease."

Kristen retrieved the contents of the Locke tank laboratory from her memory.

Fortunately, Locke Williams, the director of the Locke Water Tank Laboratory, can be regarded as a partner in the Wanxing Garden project by relying on the technology of the hibernation chamber.

Christen didn't spend much time recalling the other person's story.

"So, this is a research that can make people sick but not sick, right?" Miku nodded again after understanding what Kristen was saying.

From some perspectives, this is also a way to "cure diseases."

"That's right, but in addition to this goal, Locke also hopes to create a magician who is not infected with Ore Disease, but can still cast Originium skills like an Ore Disease infected person without a spell unit."

Kristen continued to explain to Miku.

"Just want the advantages and not the disadvantages, right? This person has quite a lot of ideas."

Miku knew what Kristen meant.

The Terrans need spellcasting units to cast Originium arts... These units can also be translated into staffs, magic wands, and so on.

For example, the wave hack system controller in Christen's hand, the tuning fork staff in the hands of the earth spirit, and the cello in Arturo's hand are all considered spell-casting units.

Without these spell-casting units, ordinary Terrans would not be able to release the Kendagua.

However, once the Terrans become infected, the large amount of Originium crystals in their bodies allow them to use their bodies as a medium to perform wandless spellcasting.

And the power is much greater than that of non-infected people.

But the price is that every time this wandless spell is cast, the symptoms of the infection will be aggravated.

If you use it too much, it will basically explode on the spot.

This is a krypton life-saving style of play... Knowing this well, the earth spirits who want to live a few more years, even if they are infected, would rather hold up a staff rather than cast spells without a staff.

Kristen mentioned that Locke Williams, the man who made the Colombian border post nervous, hoped to find some way to avoid the fatal consequences of this wandless spellcasting for the infected.
