Light projection, widescreen information broadcasts, automated robotic arms, and a plethora of technologies, both well-known and ill-known, appeared before her eyes. Rows of black dwarfs, seemingly no taller than Bai Lin's thighs, with round heads, wrapped in cloth robes and wearing large, wide-brimmed hats, hurried about in this dazzling world.

The dazzling light and various flickering colors have surpassed the neon lights in the modern night. They ignite a ladder of progress, a technological fantasy that belongs only to the future.

The three-story bridge before Bai Lin was almost entirely of similar technological standard. This made Bai Lin gasp. She glanced at the native human of this world, Yamashita Kanon beside her, and saw that she was completely stunned, as if she had completely lost the space for thought.

A moment later, Yamashita Kanon suddenly gasped, her legs softened, and she fell backwards. Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Lin immediately went up to support her, and then shouted to Yamashita Kanon, whose eyes were slightly dazed and her expression was somewhat painful,

"Hey, are you okay?"

At Bai Lin's call, Yamashita Kanon slightly focused her eyes. She slowly raised her head, glanced at Bai Lin, then raised one hand to touch her face, and forced herself to stand up, trembling slightly, and then slowly said in a weak tone,

"It's nothing. Ever since I was little, I've hated these things. For example, I don't even know how to use the lamps in Cameltran. I'm simply not used to it."

This might not be a true illness, but for Yamashita Kanon, it's a real torture. After all, since ancient times, there have been many things that have caused fear and confusion in humans, such as specific human civilizations, specific genders, and even cute animals. The possibilities are endless. In Yamashita Kanon's case, it's probably just "techno-dizziness."

After all, she's a Yin-Yang master, and it's obvious she's been educated in theology since she was young, so it's normal for her to have some resistance...

Bai Lin thought so, but seeing that Yamashita Kanon's face was not very good, he paused, first loosened his hand, and then continued to ask,

"So, are you okay? If not, go stay with the villagers for a while, and I'll go in and take a look."

"How could I leave you here alone? If I let you go in alone, what if you get captured? Don't worry, I still have the strength to slay demons."

Although Yamashita Kanon said this in a rather intimidating manner, it was hard to be convincing by looking at her drunken pace. However, Bai Lin knew how stubborn Yamashita Kanon was once she made up her mind to do something. She sighed and said,

"Okay, let's go."

In this way, Bai Lin watched Yamashita Kanon to prevent her from falling, while at the same time, he walked towards the bridge in front of him.

On the lowest level of the bridge, several black dwarfs, all dressed in similar clothing, were staring at Bai Lin with their large yellow eyes that looked like incandescent lamps. They said,

"Greetings, respected human Saint. You were absolutely right not to arrive immediately before the main aura rose. According to our calculations, while you have the energy to dodge every grain of sand that falls from the sky, that would consume a considerable amount of energy. Waiting a few seconds before arriving, as you are doing now, is one of the best options."

Bai Lin was completely confused by these words. She immediately raised her eyebrows and her first thought was, "What kind of people are these?" But Bai Lin did not say this first. After listening to what the other party said, she asked,

"What's the other best option?"

"It's simple. Just burn the surrounding dust and sand. Based on our observations, your ability to control your own flames is so precise."

The other party looked at Bai Lin and said very seriously. This instantly made Bai Lin nervous. She hadn't even demonstrated her ability, but the other party had already inferred her control accuracy? What a powerful calculation and judgment ability. But soon, the little black ball man standing in the middle followed up and said,

"I'm just joking. Don't take it too seriously. Although we Periya people don't like others questioning our purpose of seeking knowledge, in our daily lives, we often use very formal and precise data to joke with each other. We believe that this can help improve moods and speed up work processes. If anything bothers you, please let us know and we will reduce such content as appropriate."

They joked about their own ethnic customs on their first meeting? That was quite unique. Although Bai Lin was not interested in their jokes, these dwarfs were quite cute, and their willingness to joke with him showed that they were quite friendly. These two points were enough for Bai Lin to not refuse their kindness. So, Bai Lin replied,

"Nothing, just keep talking about yourselves."

"That's fantastic! This will improve our communication by a full 17.3 percent. So, please allow me to once again solemnly welcome you to this infinite galaxy."

"Between the infinite galaxies? Are you talking about these layers of semi-hidden above-ground buildings in front of me?"

"Yes, this is the most basic part of our current activity space. You can see many Periya people busy with their work or their own projects."

The black man on the opposite side arrived quickly. Bai Lin looked inside, thought for a moment, and finally said,

"I can see you guys are quite busy, but this looks really grand beyond my imagination."

"After all, if we want to work, we need to have complete and advanced equipment, so we put a lot of effort into the construction."

Chapter 664 Wake Up

Listening to the other party's understated description, Bai Lin was speechless again. This wasn't a question of whether it was complete or not; this was clearly beyond the scope of this world.

However, Bai Lin was more alert than shocked. After all, with such advanced technology, it was hard to guarantee that these guys would not use some dimensionality reduction attack weapons to kill her. She looked at the dazed Yamashita Kanon next to her, reached out and grabbed her sleeve, pulling her to her side. This caused the other party to be confused and asked Bai Lin,

"what are you doing?"

"I'm afraid you'll get lost."

Bai Lin didn't explain much, just nodded to the Periya people in front of him, and then asked,

"Nice to meet you. What should we call you?"

The little black dwarf tilted his head, and the yellow light on his face gathered into a question mark like the dots on an electronic screen. Then, he answered,

"A title? Well, for you humans, this should be something more important and convenient. You can call me Perpoget."

As he spoke, Perpoget raised one of his hands, pointed it towards the bridge behind him, and said to Bai Lin and the others,

"Since you two seem ready, let's get going. I believe you must be looking forward to what's next, right?"

I'm okay, but the one next to me, whose face is as pale as a sheet, doesn't look very promising at all. What kind of emotional intelligence is that? But she seems to have always been this pale. Bai Lin glanced at Yamashita Kanon beside him and thought so. Then, he followed the group of Periya people and walked inside.

Although they weren't particularly tall, the dome was built quite high, much like how humans, while averaging just over a meter tall, typically have floors around three meters high. With Bai Lin and Yamashita Kanon's height, strolling through the infinite galaxy of the Periya tribe was relatively painless and smooth. However, if a stronger man came, the situation might be different.

On both sides of the corridor, there were many people from the Periya tribe, similar to what was seen on the outside. They seemed to be busy with something, such as transportation plans, geological surveys, etc. Bai Lin could understand some of them. There were almost no Periya tribe members chatting.

With so many black people piled together, could anyone really tell who was who? Bai Lin couldn't help but think so. Fortunately, Bai Lin's eyesight was still good, and he kept his eyes on Perpgate and didn't lose him for a short time.

"Well, our working environment is pretty good, isn't it? Although it's a bit noisy, everyone is very organized when working, and there's no chaos."

While leading the way, Perpoget said this to Bai Lin. Bai Lin nodded and replied perfunctorily,

"Well... that's right."

Bai Lin couldn't quite discern this so-called orderliness; after all, she couldn't tell who was who. Perhaps only those within their tribe would react positively to this situation.

Soon after, Bai Lin was led to a seemingly circular platform. Popegot extended its equally round hand and arched it toward Bai Lin, inviting him in. Bai Lin dragged Yamashita Kanon along with him and walked directly inside. Popegot and the others followed suit.

It raised the crutch in its hand and tapped the ground lightly. Then, a feeling of falling suddenly hit Bai Lin's body. The strong push on her back made her body and mind tremble. She saw that the scenery on both sides had turned into an infinitely extended glare against the dark background.

It was as if Bai Lin was falling rapidly, causing the light in her vision to be distorted. But Bai Lin knew very well that with her dynamic vision, it was not right for her to be unable to see clearly.

However, Bai Lin didn't pay much attention to this situation. After all, Perpgot and its people were still on this platform, and they wouldn't self-destruct like this to harm people. Sure enough, within a few seconds, the sense of relief of landing on the ground was transmitted to Bai Lin's mind again. She breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered the person she was holding the corner of the clothes, and quickly turned her head to look.

Yamashita Kanon's already uncomfortable expression became even worse. Her face was slightly red, she was breathing heavily, and a lot of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. This made Bai Lin anxiously ask,

"Are you OK?"

Hearing the sudden call, Yamashita Kanon suddenly raised her head, looked around a few times, and then locked her eyes with Bai Lin again. Seeing Bai Lin's anxious expression, her first reaction was to reach for her waist. Fortunately, Bai Lin noticed it in advance and put his hand on the hilt of the other party's knife, which stopped Yamashita Kanon from doing anything outrageous.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Lin was very confused and asked this question. Yamashita Kanon, whose knife was held down, seemed to have entered sage mode and her breathing gradually calmed down. She looked at Bai Lin and said,

"Nothing, just a little dizzy."

If you feel dizzy, then can you please not touch the knife? Otherwise, I'll confiscate your knife...

Looking at Yamashita Kanon's appearance, Bai Lin couldn't believe that she was fine. She took out a towel from her bag, poured some water on it, and stuffed it into Yamashita Kanon's hand, then said,

"Wash your face and wake yourself up. If you're still dizzy, it'll be fine."

"Why do you have something like this? I never thought you were the type to always carry a towel with you..."

Yamashita Kanon took the towel and wiped the sweat off her face, but her words made Bai Lin speechless again. After reacting, Bai Lin quickly replied,

"Come on, you take other people's things and still talk about them like this, what kind of quality do you have?"

Although Bai Lin was definitely not someone who was attentive enough to bring these daily necessities, she did have a virtuous and smart girlfriend. Initially, Katie Pello even wanted Bai Lin to bring some handkerchiefs with her, but Bai Lin was too lazy to bring any, so she asked Bai Lin to add a few towels.

But, it actually comes in handy at a time like this.

Yamashita Kanon seemed to realize her gaffe and stopped bickering. Instead, she obediently placed a towel soaked in cold water on her forehead. With one hand holding the towel, Bai Lin grabbed the sleeve of her other hand. For the time being, she no longer had to worry about Yamashita Kanon suddenly going crazy and drawing her sword.

After settling the talented prime minister, Bai Lin began to pay attention to the surrounding scenery.

Chapter 665 What kind of spirit

Someone who has lived inland for years might marvel at the roaring waves of a river caused by a violent storm. Bathed in a thunderstorm, they marvel at the vigor and power of nature. Yet, they cannot imagine the vast ocean beyond; it is something they have never seen, but if they had heard of it, they would likely long for it.

Regardless of whether they expected it or not, when they saw the sea, they would surely feel a shock that was enough to make them stand still and difficult to describe in words. And right now, Bai Lin was in the midst of such a shock.

Countless compartments, countless bizarre research projects, unfolded before Bai Lin. With the inky underground space as the base, each space shimmered with a faint light. They were like stars, scattered across the sky and earth. While not dazzling, the brilliance of the galaxy was enough to captivate anyone's mind.

The living space required by the Periya tribe was not large. After all, their bodies were no bigger than Bai Lin's thighs. But the great achievements they made made Bai Lin feel so insignificant.

It was like turning the pages of a centuries-old library, revealing its contents before Bai Lin. The vast ocean waves, rising with the wind, surged endlessly, yet remained still before Bai Lin, allowing her to observe every detail of their rise. And when the surprise and shock slowly faded, all she felt was a natural desire to touch the waves before her eyes.

Adrenaline began to surge, and Bai Lin clenched her fists excitedly. Although she was still holding back and didn't take any direct action, her eyes couldn't hide her excitement. Perpgate beside her glanced at Bai Lin and said,

"We've detected an increase in your heart rate. It seems our vast ocean is very tempting to you. If you'd like, we can arrange a tour anytime. Of course, you'll still need us to lead the way, as it would be a shame to accidentally disrupt someone else's experimental plan."

Hearing the other party's considerate words, Bai Lin was not polite to her. She licked her lips and replied,

"You're welcome then!"

Although Bai Lin wasn't particularly interested in knowledge, these things, placed before anyone, were an absolute, immense treasure trove. For Bai Lin, the value of these civilizations and knowledge would be of absolute use to all of humanity, and might even provide her with new insights.

Furthermore, humans are inherently curious and driven by a thirst for knowledge. This is an innate instinct, the key to human evolution. New game releases of similar quality and price point excite most gamers, making them eager to explore. Reasoning, seeking knowledge, and finding answers—this is a wonderful process of evolving knowledge and exploring new horizons.

Even someone like Bai Lin, who really has no interest or motivation to learn existing knowledge, would appear so excited under such waves.

Soon, Popgate led Bai Lin and Yamashita Kanon to walk around. As Popgate led Bai Lin to walk in the slightly narrow streets, he said to Bai Lin,

"This is a temporary base, primarily focused on reviving and exploring human civilization. Currently, the majority of projects conducted in the experimental chambers are simulations of human civilization. Presumably, you're more interested in the revival of human civilization than in other species, right?"

A temporary base? If the temporary base is so powerful, what about the headquarters? With this thought in mind, Bai Lin smiled, waved her hand, and then said,

"Honestly, after seeing all of your stuff, I really hate my brain for not being able to hold so much. I really want to absorb all this new knowledge I just discovered into my head. This feeling is really too strong. Not only humans, but any other race would also be very interested in me."

"Numerous data comparisons show that some individuals in the human race have a thirst for knowledge that is closest to our Periya people across the entire continent. Although we haven't been able to come into contact with such individuals, we can clearly sense that passion from your body."

Perpoget also replied very happily.

"Yes... there are indeed some people like that among humans. But after seeing a scene like this, I believe no human would be unable to cheer up."

Bai Lin said so.

From a personal perspective, access to this treasure trove of knowledge is a boon. This is groundbreaking technology, not just so-called contemporary academic discourse. Mastering it, while not guaranteeing eternal youth and immortality, at least one can earn a small fortune and live a comfortable life.

And for the collective interest, this is even greater.

However, isn't there a dizzy, somewhat unconscious human being being dragged away by Bai Lin right now? She only weakly gave Bai Lin a very murderous look and said,

"Are you cursing me in a roundabout way?"

"No, no, definitely not. You're just worrying too much!"

Bai Lin laughed it off, comforted Yamashita Kanon, and continued to follow the people in front of her on the tour. She knew almost nothing about the human civilization in this world, so everything was a new discovery for her.

The changes of times, the shifts in power, everything, were even more dramatic than Bai Lin's original history, but the evolution was essentially the same. Bai Lin was more concerned with the additional products that emerged during the gaps in this era's evolution.

Such as some lost magic spells, science and technology, etc. These are what Bai Lin is most concerned about at the moment. Unfortunately, after looking at them for a while, Bai Lin felt a little disappointed.

On the one hand, it was difficult for her to absorb this knowledge personally. She had neither the basic foundation nor the natural talent for it. Even if she memorized it by rote, her small brain couldn't hold much. Even if she wanted to steal this information, it was difficult. At best, she could only remember a few conceptual things.

Magic was even more of a problem. Bai Lin really wanted to conjure up some writing materials so that he could write them down. However, these were only partially restored, and some of them had not even been tested. Perhaps even if he copied them down, they would not be very useful.

Bai Lin suddenly fell from the vast ocean into a frying pan that made her feel a little anxious. There were mountains of gold and silver right in front of her, but she couldn't move them. She could only stare blankly at Jiji and try to get a little bit of oil.

Chapter 666 Is this a stage play?

Why is it so difficult? When I was in school, I knew these things couldn't fit into my head, so I just played around with them. I never thought I'd actually run into a situation where I couldn't figure it out.

Although Bai Lin's expression was not too shaken, the flicker in his eyes, the rapidity of his heartbeat, and the slight rise in his blood pressure were difficult to suppress. Perpogate beside him seemed to have noticed this and said,

"Exciting, right? Faced with this ocean of knowledge, this endless treasure trove of wisdom waiting to be discovered, it's natural to want to quickly catch up with the latest progress and restore it immediately."

"However, we must not be impatient. Although everyone in this field is eager to welcome new developments and embrace every new day, we must always remain rational and explore. Only in this way can we achieve our goals."

Having said that, Perpoget tapped the cane in his hand, stopped it, turned around and looked at Bai Lin, staring into Bai Lin's eyes with his glowing yellow eyes and said,

"Holy Son of Mankind, your life trajectory will not be the same as ours, so I don't think you'll need to suppress your emotions and spend countless hours seeking the truth like we do. You don't need to be so anxious."

"Our exploration of human civilization is still in its infancy, and at best, we only have a limited understanding. However, you humans probably haven't grasped our progress yet. Furthermore, we believe that the exploration of civilization is best conducted by humans themselves, so..."

"We will entrust the existing information to you, and you will pass it on to the wise men of humanity."

Because Bai Lin's head was buzzing, she couldn't hear anything being said, not to mention the strange voices of these little guys buzzing in her ears. As a result, Bai Lin couldn't hear clearly what Perpgate was saying. However, she instinctively repeated the last few sentences in her mind. Suddenly, she was shocked, as if she had heard it wrong. With a strange and surprised look, she looked at Perpgate in front of her and said,

"What did you just say? You wanted to give me the existing information?!"

"Yes, that was our original plan. Unfortunately, most of the people we're dealing with don't understand our past culture... It's a bit sad. We need to negotiate with them to pass the information on to other places, which is why we're in such an awkward situation."

Popegot paused, looked at Bai Lin who seemed to be full of doubts, raised the crutch in his hand, and said,

"This is rightfully yours, so there's nothing wrong with giving it to you. Besides, if we let humans research this on their own, working alongside us on the same starting line... who will learn everything faster? Appropriate competition is also a way to improve research efficiency."

Although the Perpgott clearly lacked a mouth, its face, resembling a black screen, glowed with a yellow smile. Bai Lin now fully understood the situation. These Periya people were truly pure, their architecture mirroring that of the Rain Spirits. While the Rain Spirits pursued a simple, independent, and free daily life, the Periya people pursued "truth."

They violated the alien rules and came to the human side. In pursuit of the knowledge they desired, they joined humans in this farce. As long as they had gained the results, they didn't care whether they gave them back or gave them away. Because they had already achieved their goal, everything else mattered.

No matter what they think, for humans, the Periya people are definitely good people. Bai Lin retracted her anxious eyes, gave Periya a firm look, then nodded and replied,

"Thank you very much for your help."

"These are trivial matters. If possible, it would be great if you humans could stop fighting us because of the current situation. Although this is just a small task, it will help us establish a deeper relationship faster and more conveniently. Then, we can actually explore current civilization and gain a deeper understanding of various information, which will also be helpful to our research..."
