Chapter 74

If life is a great adventure, for most ordinary people, the difficulty of this adventure can only be regarded as medium at best. Although there may be all kinds of dangers and hardships on the way, most of them can always successfully reach their final destination.

Of course, if you are born in a powerful family, the difficulty of adventure may become very low, and you can even get money, power, status and enviable luxury life without much effort.

But if you were born in a slum where violent crime is rampant, or in an area where war is frequent, the difficulty will rise from ordinary to purgatory in an instant. If you don't live to adulthood, you will be killed by bullets flying out of nowhere, ending this great adventure ahead of schedule.

For Zhang Cheng, the original difficulty of his life should be that, like most people, he had a fairly happy childhood, a job that was enough to support himself although he couldn't earn much money. Maybe he would wait a few years to find a girlfriend to fall in love, then get married and have children, and spend the rest of his ordinary life in class.

But this insipidity didn't last. A drunken complaint changed everything

Now, I'm afraid the difficulty of his life adventure has far exceeded the scope that ordinary people can understand, and it seems to stimulate the madness suppressed in the subconscious.

Since sending off Polman, he began to study the note full of mysterious symbols without sleep, and tried to combine different symbols to see if it could trigger the corresponding magic resonance.

You know, this is equivalent to using the most primitive method to open a password lock composed of 2500 characters. It is almost impossible to completely crack it. Any rational person will choose to give up decisively.

But fortunately, there are many correct combinations of mysterious symbols than password locks with only the correct input order.

In just three or four days, relying on the book "principles and introduction of arcane runes" borrowed from Dalaran library, Zhang Cheng found a trace of law, or common ground, in the vast number of symbols with different shapes.

In order to prove that these laws were not his illusion, he quickly melted a gold Dinar and branded several runes on both sides of a table knife in order.

Then, with the help of the energy contained in the gold coin, forcibly activate each rune.

moment

A dazzling light burst out of the first rune, followed by the second, third and fourth

In less than a minute, all the runes were lit up, and light frost was emitted near the blade.

Feeling the biting chill from the palm of his hand, Zhang Cheng raised his mouth slightly and muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "Interesting! It's so interesting! The expression forms of energy in this world seem to be more obscure and difficult to control, but at the same time, they are also more diverse. The combination of only eight runes can produce such a strong frost effect. The 2500 runes in the note are definitely a complete set of systems..."

Before he finished, the knife in his hand suddenly began to shake violently for some reason. Cracks that could hardly be distinguished by the naked eye began to spread in all directions with the rune as the center.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Cheng swore in a low voice and hurriedly threw this seemingly dangerous gadget away.

I saw the silvery knife in mid air across a beautiful parabola, and it split into countless pieces before it hit anything.

Next second

Boom!

With the violent release of energy, all the fragments splashed like bullets!

There was no time to think about it. His first return to Beijing was to hide behind a wall to prevent being stabbed.

Less than half a second after hiding, there was a crackling noise on the outdoor floor of the basement.

After about three or five seconds, the sound gradually disappeared. He leaned out half his head and glanced at it. He was surprised to find that it had become a world of ice and snow.

The table, chair, floor, wall, ceiling, bookshelf, etc. are covered with solid ice with a thickness of two fingers, and the fragments of the dining knife are mixed in the ice.

There is no doubt that it was the energy carried by these fragments that caused the amazing scene in front of us.

However, the solid ice formed by energy came and went quickly. It began to gasify slowly in less than ten minutes, and finally disappeared completely without leaving a drop of water.

Zhang Cheng bent down, picked up a sharp fragment, smiled bitterly and sighed: "well, it seems that the role of those runes is not the additional frost energy I imagined, but a dangerous energy explosion. It doesn't matter. It's the so-called that everything is difficult at the beginning. Since there is an initial breakthrough, I believe it will be much easier next."

Just as he was about to summon the spirit life in the bracelet to clean up the mess in front of him, the door leading to the first floor was suddenly knocked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Who?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned and asked.

"It's me, Gracie. There's a beautiful lady outside to see you, sir." the girl's voice came through the wooden door.

"Send her away! Didn't I say that no one will be seen?" Zhang Cheng's tone revealed strong impatience.

After all, the research is at a critical stage, and he doesn't want to waste his time on "beautiful ladies".

Gracie sighed helplessly and explained, "I said, but she insisted that if you didn't come out to see her today, she wouldn't leave. Oh, by the way, she claimed to be your girlfriend."

"What?!" Zhang chengmeng was surprised. Then he remembered his identity as an impostor. It seemed that he really had a girlfriend.

According to Polman's description, the other party seems to be a rare beauty.

"Sir, I suggest you hurry up. The lady should have misunderstood our relationship, so the expression on her face is very scary." Gracie kindly reminded.

"OK, I see." Zhang Cheng rubbed his swollen head.

To tell the truth, he also has a headache in this situation and doesn't know how to deal with it.

After all, it's the girlfriend of another person with the same name and surname, not his. To be exact, they haven't even met.

But now, the woman came to the door with a posture of asking questions. It was embarrassing.

Zhang Cheng would rather face the sinister and murderous forgotten than open the door and face a jealous woman

However, it's a pity that at this point, he can't escape. What's more, he doesn't want to give up his legal identity and become a black family.

After repeated hesitation, he took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to open the door of the basement.
