#163 - Chapter 163 Duodong
“What a boring life!”
A new week began, and Qi Jing sat on a small stool watching the students running around on the playground, feeling incredibly bored.
Last month, he had finished reading all the completed novels that appealed to him, and then he specifically looked for ongoing novels with more than two million words.
Just this morning, he finished reading the latest chapter of the last ongoing novel with two million words, and casually pressed the poop-yellow button.
With this, he had no more long novels to read.
If you were to ask him how he managed to do this, he could only say that his body and eyesight, enhanced by a mutated spider, were enough for him to read a page per second, or even faster.
Now, he only had ongoing novels with less than two million words to read.
But those were too short, not enough to read.
Should he switch to another app?
Forget it, downloading a new app is too much trouble.
“Pika pi~ (Your eyes look like dead fish right now)” Xiao Pi in his arms looked up at Qi Jing.
“I can't find the meaning of life anymore.”
It's all because he's too strong. Whether it's his reading speed or his gaming skills, it makes his life rhythm completely different from ordinary people.
Perhaps, the reclusive life of those immortals in novels is because of this.
Books that ordinary people need a lifetime to finish reading, games they strive to become kings in, mountains they long to climb, they can complete in a very short time.
Although Qi Jing had not reached this point, he already had this feeling of being uninspired.
Looking at the novel app in his hand, Qi Jing was struggling whether to open those novels with only a little over a million words that were not yet finished.
Try reading one from the recommendation list.
He opened a book with a very plain cover, looking at the introduction and title.
《The World Forgets Me, But I Will Eventually Return from the Sea of Time》
The protagonist dives to the deepest part of the Sea of Time, discovers that he has returned to the present world, but everyone has forgotten him, and then he begins a journey to find the truth.
Seems pretty good, but it's not finished, not reading it.
《Pirate King: Starting by Capturing a Naga Queen》
(Note: Naga - generally refers to a kind of humanoid snake monster living in the water, some versions have six arms, some versions have snake hair, and the face has fins)
The introduction says that this book tells the story of a pirate robbing various alien races (queens) behind the C-dimensional gate.
Too short, not reading it.
Speaking of Nagas, Qi Jing remembered the Mermaid Pearl that Grandpa Hong went to find.
With Grandpa Hong's skills, he should be safe and sound, just don't know when he will be back.
He still remembers that Grandpa Hong promised to give him a Mermaid Pearl.
Qi Jing clicked into a few more novels, and found that they were all about how to become kings and conquer the other world, and rarely saw any cultivation novels.
“Boring, too boring.”
Most of the novels he had finished reading were similar, he was tired of them.
“Reading female-oriented novels might be a good idea!”
Qi Jing opened the girls' channel that he had never clicked on before.
《I am the Queen of Another World》
《Catching Cute Beasts in Another World》
《Exploring Another World with Handsome Men》
《Quick Transmigration: Miss Becomes a Dodon Elder》
What is a Dodon?
Qi Jing searched for Dodon on Otherworld Jie.
Activity area: On the iceberg behind the D-dimensional gate, there lives a strange creature called Dodon. Each iceberg has ten to thirty individuals forming a population.
Appearance: They are only the size of a pillow, with four short legs and no tail. Its cuteness lies in the white fur that covers its body, and its eyes are very small, like a college student who can't open their eyes in the morning to see the blackboard.
Food: Their main food source is a kind of pink snow that only appears on the tips of icebergs.
Personality: Most are relatively lazy, but some are very active.
Cry: Dodon.
Aggressiveness: Extremely weak.
Reproduction: Dodons are asexual creatures. Each Dodon will grow a Dodon egg in its body, which will fall when it dies, and will likely grow two or more Dodon eggs.
Population structure: Each population will have a pink Dodon as their leader, and the rest are ordinary members. We call the pink Dodon the Dodon Elder. Studies have shown that as long as it is within the iceberg, it can find all the Dodons belonging to its population.
Abilities: The friction of its four feet is extremely strong, allowing it to crawl on smooth ice; its fur is extremely insulating, allowing it to function normally in glaciers of minus ninety degrees Celsius; when encountering danger, it will "shed its skin," abandoning its body and transferring its consciousness to the egg in its abdomen, which is extremely hard; the Dodon Elder will hatch it when it finds this Dodon egg.
Note: Dodons can be captured, but they can only survive in low-temperature environments and cannot be brought to Earth.
After reading the detailed introduction of Dodon, Qi Jing became more interested in other alien creatures.
Killing hundreds of armored crabs yesterday was already boring, killing something else is not impossible.
Although there are many alien beasts in the C-dimensional gate, they are all in the sea, making them difficult to kill.
All of his skills can only be used on land to maximize efficiency.
Therefore, Qi Jing needs a monster-spawning cage on land, and it must have a large number of monsters.
Although armored crabs perfectly meet these two conditions, he is already a little tired of killing armored crabs.
If there were so many alien beasts in other places, he could kill them to his heart's content.
“Pi~ Pika! (No, you can't kill them)”
Xiao Pi looked at him showing an evil smile at these cute Dodons, and quickly poked Qi Jing's chin with his little paw.
“I'm not going to kill them, don't get me wrong.”
“Pika? Pika pi! (Really? I don't believe it!)”
Qi Jing tapped Xiao Pi's head: “Why don't you believe me? Am I such a bloodthirsty person? Don't you know how much I love peace?”
“Pi! (Don't believe it!)”
Xiao Pi's head shook like a rattle drum.
“Okay, okay, I promise, I won't kill them, okay? I swear!” Qi Jing stretched out four fingers to the sky.
“Pi~ (Okay, I believe you)”
“I'll see how to pass the first-level trial of the D-dimensional gate.” Qi Jing searched on Otherworld Jie.
Xiao Pi jumped onto Qi Jing's head, grabbed his ear, and questioned: “Pi? Pika pi! (What? You swore!)”
“No no no, I just want to know how to pass the trial of the D-dimensional dimension, not to kill them.”
“Pika! (I will supervise you!)”
“You don't even know them, why are you protecting them so much.”
“Pikachu! (Cute is justice)”
“I didn't expect you to be a simp, judging people by their appearance is not right.”
“Pika! (They are not people)”
“Okay, okay.”
Qi Jing found the first-level trial information of the D-dimensional gate.
Participants need to climb an iceberg, take the flag at the top of the mountain, and then cross the mountain to reach the other side.
So simple?
Just go up the mountain and down the mountain?
No difficulty at all.
Qi Jing saw the information of this mountain.
The whole mountain is only 500 meters high, but the whole mountain is made of ice, and the average temperature on the surface is only minus 50 degrees Celsius.
There are many steep cliffs on the mountain, which are very smooth.
It will also snow during the trial, reducing the friction of the ice surface, thereby increasing the difficulty of the trial.
