Life Dungeon Game

Anne was indeed very excited, even a little incoherent, "Carrie, have you met some rich young lady or playboy outside, and they're spending lavishly on you?"

"Calm down, calm down," Ekaterie quickly reassured her. In fact, she herself was still reeling from the shock of the news and couldn't quite process it. She quickly asked, "Annie, what's that person's name?"

“Let me see,” Anne paused, seemingly scrolling through the screen, “Found it. The donor listed is FBI Agent: Ander, Ander Stickevich. Wait a minute, there’s a note below that I just saw.”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

"what happened?"

Ekali asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Carrie, this Ander…” Anne hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, “This Ander is a hero buried in Dummel National Cemetery. This donation was made in his name by his heirs and is part of his pension.”

······

The two fell into silence at the same time.

"This money can't be wasted. I'll be right back."

After thinking for a moment, Ekali quickly put the book into her bag. Amidst the clattering, He Ao waved goodbye, "Grandpa, I have to go now."

"Ah."

He Ao nodded, waved to her, and watched her rush out of the library.

Then he slowly got up, took a deep breath, and walked out of the library, standing at the library entrance looking outside.

Did Ander receive a million dollars in compensation? Probably not.

When an ordinary investigator dies, the federal government will pay a compensation of 200,000 to 300,000 dollars. Then, the federal government will pay about 400,000 dollars in accidental death compensation for the investigator. So, He Ao calculated that the final compensation he could receive would be about 600,000 to 700,000 dollars.

Of course, given 'Ander's' great contributions, it's possible that the Federation might give him a little more.

But even if there were a million, a portion should be allocated to the little boy for his college expenses, so Heo preferred that Selena add her own money to make up the million and donate it in Ander's name.

He watched quietly as Eka hurriedly opened the door of her silver sedan and drove away.

Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly noticed a black sedan slowly starting up and following him.

Behind Ejali's car.

As He Ao's gaze fell upon the car, the rear window slowly rolled down, revealing a dignified and aged man in a neat suit sitting in the back seat, looking at He Ao.

Their eyes met.

The man smiled and nodded slightly to He Ao, who returned the smile.

Decades have passed, and although their appearances have changed somewhat, they can still easily recognize each other.

He Ao was naturally very familiar with this person.

Naja, Regis's old classmate, recommended illegal drugs to him when he was a teenager and extorted protection money from him when he was a young man.

Naja slowly rolled up the car window, and Ho watched his vehicle drive away.

The car ultimately failed to catch up with Ekateri's car and turned away at the intersection in front of the library.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and returned to the library. Just then, he noticed a book lying in the corner under the self-service borrowing machine.

It was that book, "The Fearless Dawn".

Ekali left in such a hurry that she left this book behind.

He picked up the book and placed it on the front desk. The book had already been checked out; it was the one Yi Jiali had borrowed. If it got lost, she would have to pay for it, and paper books weren't cheap.

He Ao estimated that she would be back to pick up the book soon.

Back in his seat, He Ao took out his wristband and ordered a bento box, then opened the book he had been keeping under his hand, "Reconstruction of Partial Texts from Various Districts of the Former Federation".

He glanced through the preface and table of contents; the book was roughly about the writings of the original Federation's Districts 1, 3, 4, and 5.

The preface explains the origin of these texts.

Before the ocean was blocked by storms, the former federal districts were interconnected.

Therefore, there are still a large number of descendants of the people from Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 in District 2. Some of them have fully integrated into the current Federation through intermarriage, while others have maintained the cultural customs of hundreds of years ago. The author visited these people who still preserve their original culture and collected the texts of Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the original Federation from them.

Even so, because fewer and fewer people use it, a large number of texts belonging to the first, third, fourth and fifth districts have disappeared in the course of history, so the texts collected by the author are not complete, only a small part.

In the preface, the author also stated that he would continue to restore these texts.

He Ao glanced at the book's publication date; it was twenty years ago.

Then he wrote down the author's name: Rigoberto Luther.

After getting a general idea of ​​what was going on with the book, He Ao opened it and prepared to look for the corresponding text in the small book.

He didn't spend much effort, because the first chapter of the book was about that kind of language.

Part One: Section One Text

The beginning of this section provides a brief overview of the situation in the first district, information that He Ao couldn't find online before.

District One was the original center of the Federation. After the Great Cataclysm, the people of District One were the first to survive and rebuild their civilization. They then sent fleets and exploration teams to search for the remaining humans around the world, helping them build fortified cities and rebuild human civilization.

Dawn City got its name from the fact that after the fleet from District 1 landed on the sea, it ventured deep into the land and saw the first rays of dawn here.

After a century of hard work and struggle, the founders of the Union established a largely global federal government.

Then, ten years after the establishment of the original Federation, a storm sealed off the sea, leaving humanity stranded on land. District One, along with the other three districts, was completely lost.

After introducing the history, the author begins to introduce the text of the first district.

The script in the first area is ideographic, which evolved from pictographs.

Here, the author mentions a legend that suggests this ancient script possesses the power to communicate with the mystical, and that some characters are even simplifications of ancient people's sacrificial rituals.

However, the author believes this claim is nonsense.

The rest was just the author bragging, which He Ao quickly skipped over and turned to the next page.

The first character introduced in this book is exactly the same as the first character in the small book.

This character is

'sky'

"Heaven", "Qi", "Lungs"

He Ao matched the words in the first sentence of the book one by one.

What does this mean?

Is my lungs about to explode from anger every day?

······

That doesn't seem to be the meaning.

The text in the first section is ideographic and incomplete, making it very difficult to learn. The author explains only one or two words in detail on almost every page.

However, the script in Middle-earth is also a pictographic and ideographic script, which has similarities with the script in the first district of the dungeon world. Therefore, He Ao can use the ideas of the Middle-earth language to apply to the ideas of the script in the first district. He has probably already figured it out.

However, searching page by page like this is too troublesome.

He thought for a moment.

Hypermemory, activated.

Hyperthymesia has 30 seconds of cost-free time each day, which can be used as an auxiliary observation.

Although after absorbing the 'Talent Sequence 34: Waiter' elixir and gaining the effect of improved physical attributes, Heo almost completely regarded it as a combat skill.

However, there are some differences between the no-cost mode and the pay-to-win mode. The no-cost mode can only record the surrounding details and cannot predict the enemy's further actions, while the pay-to-win mode can.

The "Life-Saving Mode" is somewhat like overclocking the existing computing power even further, adding even more computing power.

Within those thirty seconds, He Ao quickly flipped through the first section of the book "Reconstruction of Texts from Various Districts of the Former Federation".

Then he flipped over and left the front desk. Before the effects of hyper memory wore off, he rushed out of the library and took in all the people and scenery outside the library.

As he finished looking at everything, his gaze returned to normal, and the effects of his hyper-memory disappeared.

Then he calmly walked back to the library.

In a corner of the street in front of the library, two young men dressed casually sat in a car, watching He Ao walk back to the library with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, what's wrong with this old man? Why is he suddenly running in and out like that?"

The young man in the passenger seat looked puzzled.

"I don't know," the young man in the driver's seat lit a cigarette. "It might be Alzheimer's. People of this age are very prone to this disease. We're just here to visit him, so let's not meddle in things that aren't our business."

“Our gang isn’t having an easy time either. Now we’ve even taken on jobs at nursing homes, and we have to keep an eye on people with dementia.”

The young man in the passenger seat sighed.

-

Back at his seat at the front desk, He Ao continued translating the contents of the small book.

Although this book on 'text restoration' spends dozens of pages introducing the text of Zone 1, it actually only covers a little over a hundred characters.

These characters are mostly things commonly used or frequently seen in daily life, such as body structures like "hand," "foot," and "mouth," or internal organs like "heart," "liver," and "lungs," as well as everyday items like "cup," "quilt," and "bed," and some conjunctions like "and," "with," and "and."

With just these words, He Ao still couldn't translate most of the text in the small book, but he managed to translate two sentences. The first sentence was the very first sentence of the book, the one that started with the word "sky." That sentence wasn't "The sky was so angry it exploded," but rather, "The sky was so angry it exploded."

"The qi of heaven communicates with the lungs, and the qi of earth communicates with the throat."

A is a comparison

It's an uncommon character, but coincidentally, it appears in this book; it means 'throat'.

He Ao's understanding of this sentence is roughly that 'weather' is connected to the lungs, and 'earth's energy' is connected to the throat.

He understood it this way because the sentence reminded him of energy absorption: the energy he breathed entered his chest cavity, which in a sense is the 'lungs', while the energy from eating gathered in his throat.

Therefore, the first sentence of the entire book should be about energy absorption.

He speculated that the energy absorbed from breathing in nature was called 'weather' in the book, while the energy ingested through food, existing within matter, was called 'earth energy'.
