Chapter 167 Gold Luo Particle Crystal Stone

【Gold Luo Particle Crystal Stone】

【Attribute: Functional Material】

【Function: Can be used in planetary engine energy collectors...】

【Description: A material with the same capabilities as K Luo Particle Crystal Blocks. Although it has been used on the Tower of Babel for nearly ten thousand years and its functional energy has declined, it can still meet the needs of planetary engines.】

Li Tianran used his Data Eye ability to observe these crystals, but found nothing unusual.

These crystals hadn't been tampered with in any way, and didn't even have defects!

"This is strange… What is the Gale Apostle's intention in sending them?" Li Tianran frowned. He had a vague guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

"Continue searching in the 550 sea area. Also… if similar incidents occur again, be sure to report to me immediately."

Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then issued an order to the personnel in charge of the search.

He felt that this matter was a bit too outrageous, and if he guessed correctly… it wouldn't be long before the Gale Apostle would make another move.

Facts proved that Li Tianran's guess was correct.

Less than three hours after the first batch of core crystals was transported to Gale Wind Island, a similar beast tide attack occurred again in the 550 base sea area. However, the experienced commanders did not panic like the first time. Instead, they calmly directed the mecha warriors to eliminate the beast tide, and found several storage boxes in the corpses of four beasts.

If the first situation could have been an accident, a coincidence, then the second time, it was definitely a deliberate manipulation!

After receiving the news, Li Tianran rushed to the 550 base and found eight more core crystals in the four storage boxes.

Different from the first time, in the fourth storage box, in addition to the two core crystals, there was also a letter written in human characters.

"A letter?" Li Tianran opened the letter and quickly scanned the paper.

Soon, he fully understood the contents of the letter. He frowned, pondered for a moment, then lit it and watched the paper turn to ashes. At the same time, he muttered to himself in a puzzled tone, "What exactly does the Gale Apostle want to do?"

The content written on this letter was absolutely shocking. Once it was leaked, it would probably shake the entire ancient civilization and the human world.

After a long time, Li Tianran raised his head and whispered a few words to Qin Yiming, who had followed him.

After hearing this, Qin Yiming's face changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, isn't this too risky? What if the other party has malicious intentions…"

"A Gale Apostle who has lost his miracle building can't cause much trouble!" Li Tianran said in a deep voice, "Just do as I say, and be careful to keep it a secret!"

…

South City.

Nilason led the little boy along the repaired streets of the town.

They had been wandering here for a whole afternoon, but still didn't feel tired.

"There used to be an apple tree here. Every year when the apples ripened, we would run here after school to climb the tree and pick the fruits to eat… Li Han wasn't tall, but she was very brave. She could always climb to the highest point," the little boy said softly, pointing to a bare roadside, "But later, the tree got worms and was cut down."

The little boy's voice was full of reluctance.

"Those apples… must have been very sweet, right?" Nilason asked softly.

"No." The little boy shook his head, trying to squeeze his nose and eyebrows together, and stuck out his tongue, "The fruit was sour, very, very sour!"

Nilason was stunned for a moment and asked, "Since it was sour, why did you always climb the tree to pick them?"

"…" The little boy's eyes were obviously a little strange when he heard this. He scratched his head, glanced at Nilason, and answered very simply, "For fun!"

Nilason was speechless and smiled.

That's right…

For fun!

The purpose of a child doing something is different from that of an adult.

Children climb trees to pick fruit, perhaps not to eat, but to enjoy the joy and carefree time with their friends.

The reason why Nilason couldn't understand the little boy's behavior just now was because its living environment was completely different from the little boy's.

During the time it led its people to escape, it had to take "profit" as the primary standard in everything it did!

For example, when leaving a habitat, it was definitely to find food and resources.

For example, chiseling rocks was definitely for the minerals inside the rocks!

For example, digging pits was definitely for storing water!

Under the influence of Nilason's ideas, Berrona and other young children never did anything unrelated to survival that wasted time and energy.

It can be said that in Berrona's life, everything she did was highly purposeful!

Doing so did greatly improve the survival rate.

But compared to Hanhan's childhood, was Berrona's childhood like a cold machine, operating according to pre-programmed settings?

"For fun…" Nilason's eyes flickered with complicated light. It closed its eyes and thought of its own childhood.

At that time, the first Earth Apostle had not yet died, and the Homo sapiens race was at its peak.

Its own childhood was as carefree as the little boy's now.

But Berrona, the second Earth Apostle…

She didn't have the right to enjoy this kind of happiness.

Even after becoming the strongest being above all the apostles, she couldn't reverse time and change the past.

Berrona's life was like a saying often said in the human world… a poor family's child matures early.

Hardship does allow a child to grow.

But if parents had a choice, perhaps no one would choose to let their children grow up in hardship. They would rather let their children become mediocre in the future than let them passively choose to bear the burden of survival when they still need to be cared for, held in the palm of their hands, and be carefree!

"That's right, a child's mission is to have fun…" The little boy rubbed his nose and said confidently.

Nilason laughed loudly. It patted the little boy's head and said repeatedly, "You're right, you're right!"

"Li Tianran, you can be considered to have… made up for Berrona's life."

Nilason narrowed its eyes and looked in the direction of Gale Wind Island.

Although the true dominant consciousness of the Earth Apostle was Berrona, Hanhan's consciousness was also independently derived by Berrona. When the Earth Apostle first revived, it already knew everything within Hanhan's consciousness.

That experience of Hanhan was also imprinted in Berrona's consciousness.

In a sense, Hanhan, Berrona, and the third consciousness are the same person, just experiencing different lives.

It's like raising a son. Before the age of ten, he is his parents' child; after the age of ten, he had a car accident and suffered amnesia, but he is still his parents' son; and after the car accident, he wandered to other areas, was adopted by others, and completely forgot his parents…

Although he has forgotten his biological parents and even changed his name and household registration!

But in the eyes of his biological parents, he is still their son. When he stands in front of them again, they will still cry and hug him tightly!

That's why Nilason was so calm after the birth of the third consciousness!

Because it knew that there were indeed some problems with Berrona, but it was willing to accompany her and slowly find a solution.

It didn't hate Hanhan or the third consciousness.

Because in its view, whether it was Berrona, Hanhan, or the third consciousness, they were all Earth Apostles, all originating from the soul of this body.

They were all… its children.
