It is just like trying to get the skin of a tiger.
The word Luhua used was "Typhon's Dream", not the secret realm defined by the association, which means that Luhua wanted Noita to dive into the depths of the dream and fall into an upside-down and confusing dream, which would be a dangerous place to face Typhon's eternal wrath.
The secret realm that can survive in the depths must be cruel and in line with Typhon's principles.
Noita remembered that huge dream, the last remnant of a pantheon.
"You're judging others by your own standards, Noita." Luhua floated in the air, half a head taller than Noita, her cold little mouth chattering non-stop. "Although I may sometimes resort to unscrupulous means, I never do such wicked things as to abandon my own people after their rabbit has died. I value you as much as Wuhua, so how could I let you die? I just want you to experience what's happening on the front lines, that's all."
Noita understood what she said. Luhua just wanted to send her to the secret realm to help with some work.
"What about that project? While the Lighthouse Project is showing initial success, the tunnel project is still a ways off. Do you want me to just give up?"
The experience Noita brought from the future can greatly speed up the project research, but she has not yet fully understood it.
We really can't do it without her. It's not that we can't do it, but the speed won't be fast enough and we may be overtaken by similar projects.
"That's a problem." Lu Hua thought for a moment and came up with a good idea. "I'll give you some hard time. When the project hits a bottleneck, you can help find a solution. When you have nothing to do, you can help with the construction in the secret realm. If there are other needs, we'll also need your help to find a solution."
What an idea.
Noita looked at Luhua expressionlessly.
The green-haired kid looked innocent and calm, and he really didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.
Of course there is nothing wrong with her, but Noita has a problem!
"I'm not a brick."
"You can be."
Noita was so angry that she laughed. She really admired Luhua's ability to control her expression. She could not help laughing at such a joke.
"What's the benefit?"
"How about I share my glory with you? From now on, every bite I eat will be yours."
"What if there isn't?"
"Let's just drink the northwest wind together."
A contract emerged, which made Noita raise his eyebrows. He turned the contract over and looked at it carefully.
[With the holy mountains, waves, gods, sun, moon, and stars as witnesses, I swear in the name of all noble things that from now on, I will share my glory with Noita, let her be under my protection, and share my strength and blood.]
[Faded reality, lucid dreams, in the unknown of fate, an extraordinary being invites you, she hopes you will share her glory.]
[Agree to the invitation and you will receive additional power. If you are allowed to do so, you can use the power of the contractor to overcome difficulties.]
The power of oath surges within the contract, and the majestic power of the Tao jumps between the lines, proving that this is a contract with correct effect, not a joke.
Noita was stunned. Luhua was serious.
She thought Luhua was just telling sweet words to deceive little girls.
Amidst the roar of the waves, Luhua told the girl who had not known her decision just a moment ago: "This is my decision, do you accept it?"
Although Noita is not affected by the prophecy, in many contracts signed in the past, Luhua confirmed that Noita would be affected by the contract and would be affected by the contract.
"What do you want from Typhon's dream? If you don't tell me the answer, I will find it difficult to accept it."
"I can't tell you the specifics, but Typhon's dream contains resources that will allow me to become a paragon. I need your help," Luhua said. "No matter what the outcome, as long as you are willing to help me, you will be able to obtain my power immediately."
"Are you strong enough to be promoted to Paragon?"
According to the information Noita learned, the strength of the Holy Mountain Shamans has declined to some extent, and the most unlucky guys have directly fallen out of the extraordinary level. How come Luhua's strength has increased instead of decreased?
"It's enough, but I just lack the opportunity." Lu Hua said, "Fate tells me that this opportunity lies in the deep dream."
Noita hesitated and said, "I need to think about it for a while."
"Yes, you can keep the contract, but you cannot refuse to go to the secret realm."
After saying this, in a moment of trance, Noita was sent back to her residence. Luhua returned to her doe form and looked at Noita gently: "I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible."
[Your words are restricted. Before making a decision, you cannot reveal the secrets about Luhua.]
A force of secrecy bound Noita's words.
Her eyes moved slightly and she said, "I will."
The contract faded under Noita's gaze and blended into her eyes, but as long as Noita needed it, the contract would reappear.
The doe left silently, leaving Noita sitting alone in the room.
She has no intention of signing the contract yet.
Because sharing is never a one-sided effort. Once the recipient accepts the glory, he or she must assume obligations.
Her contract partner had long been reserved for Luo Xiweiya, and she had finally managed to raise Luo Xiweiya's favorability to the level of acquaintance~friend. If she signed a contract with the doe at this time, wouldn't the favorability gained in the past two months be in vain?
Noita was thinking about the pros and cons when suddenly her ears moved and she heard footsteps.
He immediately pretended to be in a bad mood, sat up and looked at the greenery outside the window.
The one coming is Malachite.
She told Noita, "The shaman has instructed that after you recover from your injuries, you will be assigned to join a team to conduct scientific research in the secret realm."
"I see."
Noita nodded, and suddenly moved her nose and smelled a fragrance.
The source of the flavor is malachite.
"Did you just come back from the restaurant?"
"Yes, the pastor has written you a prescription that he says will be very effective in restoring your health. I'll buy the ingredients and ask the restaurant chef to prepare it."
"Uh-huh."
Noita nodded slightly, with some anticipation.
As for the doe, never mind it, let’s eat first.
Chapter 127 Compensatory Mixture
At the exhibition of the Campaign Association, Noita walked slowly among the crowd. The bustling crowd passed by her like water rushing through a river.
This is the monthly weapons sale held by the Conquest Association, which aims to promote weapons. The weapons at the exhibition will have discounts to varying degrees. Many professionals in Mencheng look forward to this day every month.
The Conquest Society has no control over where the weapons end up; it's none of their business.
Even if they eventually cause strife in distant lands, the Conquest Society won't blink an eye. Even if they are accused and protests break out within the Empire, the Society remains indifferent and continues to apply alchemy to increasingly horrific weaponization, refining batch after batch of highly effective killing weapons.
Because developing new weapons is both the association's own idea and a resolution unanimously passed by the ruling class.
Next to the expensive weapons display cases, visitors stopped to examine the weapons, crowding around the various display cases.
There were dozens of people overlapping at each stop. To onlookers, they looked like phantoms superimposed on each other, clearly overlapping but not interfering with each other.
Noita stopped in front of the display case of the alchemical armor and looked at the armor data on the introduction board.
After comparing it with her own data, she found that although the basic data of this set of armor exceeded ordinary ones, it was still inferior to hers. Wearing it would only add a burden. Only the power of the loaded weapons was worthy of praise. At least she could not withstand many hits from these weapons.
If we compare pure destructive power, professionals before the extraordinary level are basically no match for heavy alchemical weapons.
After examining the armor for a moment, Noita walked to another display case, but before she took a few more steps forward, a familiar object caught her attention. It was a crystal bottle that seemed to be filled with molten iron, with a lion's fang symbol etched on the surface of the crystal bottle.
Noita stared intently at the potion bottle, her beautiful eyes motionless. She called customer service and asked, "What potion is this?"
The customer service projection descended, glancing at the alchemical mixture before introducing it: "This compensatory mixture, produced by the Fire Lion Workshop, temporarily weakens certain traits while strengthening those you need. The effect typically lasts for half an hour. If the trait is particularly strong, the duration will be shortened."
Noita's breathing became slightly heavier.
The Expedition Association actually sells compensatory potions.
The so-called compensatory mixture is actually a temporary talent converter that can weaken unnecessary senses or talents and strengthen the required talents when needed.
Weakening physical strength in exchange for increased intelligence, or being deprived of language in exchange for comprehensive strengthening of the senses... Any conversion you can think of can be switched using compensatory potions.
More importantly, compensatory potions can enhance the same attribute multiple times without being covered, making them noble stackable attributes.
There is a group of dirty guys in the game who use various means to temporarily increase attributes that are easy to stack, and then use compensatory potions to convert them all into attributes that are beneficial to their profession, using all means to achieve the highest output within a limited time.
Later in the game, someone even used it to hold a fireworks display.
Noita did the same thing.
Now that I think about it, I really miss it.
Reminiscing about the past, Noita asked about the price of the potion: "How many gold coins will it cost?"
"Six hundred throne coins."
The Throne Coin is a gold coin cast from a mold made in Sky City. Although it is not much different in size from ordinary gold coins, its gold content is much higher than that of ordinary gold coins. Since it is cast at the place closest to the sun, it also has a certain degree of curse resistance.
One throne coin can be exchanged for 3 to 5 secular gold coins depending on the region. Noita once looted several throne coins for collection from fleas.
“Are other currencies acceptable?”
"Sorry, this is the payment condition required by the consignor. Someone previously wanted to settle the payment with the remaining gold coins, but the consignor refused."
The gold coins published by the Utopia are all the latest versions of the Holy Empire's gold coins. Their gold content is the standard 50%. They are alloys made of gold mixed with many metals. The smelting and casting of this composite structure allows the new gold coins to be used directly as magical materials to assist spellcasters in casting spells.
Rumor has it that the minting technique for the new gold coins originally came from Chongtianling, but was later stolen by spies from the Holy Empire.
Neither Chongtianling nor the Empire came out to refute the rumors.
There is no currency exchange, which is terrible.
Noita looked at the potion with regret and turned to the display cabinets of other weapons.
On the way, she sent a message to Luo Xiweiya's trumpet: "Are you there? Lend me some money."
Luo Xiweiya quickly replied: "How much?"
"Six hundred throne coins."
"Yes, 2100 gold coins in exchange."
Noita quickly transferred money to Luo Xiweiya. The other party sent a spell. As soon as he clicked to enter the hut, Luo Xiweiya threw a bag of money to Noita.
"Here, count it." Noita weighed the weight and put the purse on her waist when she felt it was about right.
"Thank you. I'll treat Meimei to dinner later."
Luo Xiweiya picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "That's not necessary. Why don't you tell me what the throne coins are used for? Are you going to buy that bottle of potion?"
Noita was a little surprised: "You know?"
"Don't forget who my mother is. I often buy interesting alchemical explosives for her to test. Over time, the Conquest Association would send me a list of products before each exhibition. I looked at it and took note. Oh, and by the way, the Fire Lion Workshop received an anonymous commission to create a variety of curse-repelling items. We're searching for curse-resistant materials and working on multiple fronts."
"Okay, Meimei, you're the smartest person in the world," Noita said flatteringly. "I want to buy the Compensatory Mixture. My intuition tells me that this is definitely a very useful alchemical mixture."
Luo Xiweiya held her chin and asked absentmindedly: "Well, what else did you buy?"
"I also bought some weapons, like alchemical bombs, cursed pages, and sniper instructions."
Luo Xiweiya asked in surprise, "Which force are you going to attack? If it's not a big one, maybe I can help."
With the purchase of these weapons, it is hard not to think that Noita is planning something big.
"I'm planning to explore the depths of the secret realm. I'm worried about encountering enemies I can't defeat, so I'm purchasing some weapons just in case."
"Oh, huh?"
Luo Xiweiya sat up straight and asked Noita in confusion, "Why would you want to die when you're still alive? Shallow dreams are comfortable and simple enough, and the rewards are not necessarily small. But the dangers of deep dreams increase exponentially."
"Perhaps, I don't know where I will be assigned."
"Is this the arrangement of the Adventurer's Guild? Tell me your identity and I can get you out."
Noita asked back, "And become your doll?"
"Being my doll is better than dying. I'm not a demon. I won't play with you and will take good care of you. You only need to pay a price and be grounded for a period of time... five years at the shortest, ten at the longest. Then you will be free. When the sea is wide and fish can leap, the sky is high and birds can fly, and you will be free no longer."
The conditions were good, but Noita chose to refuse: "No."
Five years is enough time to start the next big event. I don’t know how much experience I will miss along the way. Besides, being kept in captivity by Roshivia is not a good thing. Noita doesn’t want to be a pillow princess.
Chapter 128: It won’t be red and warm (ppzi expression
After being rejected, Luo Xiweiya acted a little sad, but both of them knew that it was just a pretense.
