Astral Apostle

  Chapter 12 Current Target and Ontology Properties

   In this day and age, houses are easy to find no matter which colony star it is on.

  Because of the incentive of maternity benefits, the population of each colonial star has been growing rapidly, and all countries are engaged in infrastructure construction.

  In the early stage of interstellar development, with the abundance of products, social development, and changes in ideas, the fertility rate continued to decline. In order to provide population resources for interstellar expansion, the Interstellar Commonwealth has adjusted many systems to adapt to the environment, such as urging countries to implement a maternity welfare system. It is no longer just playing with various concepts and reducing taxes, but giving real money to children. As long as a family has children, they can get money every month. This money is enough for a family to be a "rice bug" in this era. The core concept of the system is just one: having children is very profitable. Anyway, most of the jobs now have mechanic workers. If you want to enjoy life even if you don’t work, then you have to give birth and make some contributions.

  Each family unit has a quota of three children, and can receive up to three maternity benefits at the same time. When the children become adults, they can no longer receive them. However, the quota will be vacated, and new children can continue to receive this maternity benefit if they fill up this quota. The Interplanetary Commonwealth continues to stimulate the population, encouraging a family to have several more rounds. Therefore, many families are now multi-family families. When the three children in the previous round are approaching adulthood, three new ones will be born to maintain the maternity benefit for the next ten years and ensure that this income will continue. Like Zhou Jing's family It's the second round.

Many of the traditional concepts of the parent star era are gradually not adapting to the needs of interstellar expansion. In the end, the interstellar union community chose to use stable interests to vigorously promote population growth... utilitarian family formation, which is one of the reasons why the concept of family in the interstellar era has gradually weakened. It has become the norm in this era and meets the population resource needs of the interstellar development of various countries.

  The rich resources brought about by interstellar expansion have made the economies of various countries rapidly improve. Coupled with the improvement of productivity, there is no shortage of money at all, and a part of it is enough to support many similar high-welfare systems.

   In addition, in order to prevent the dominance of one family, each colonial star is jointly operated by multiple countries, and the interstellar territories of each country are interspersed with each other and distributed on various planets. You have me and I have you.

Like the "Silver Wind Star" where Zhou Jing lives, the Interstellar Union Community has been coordinated and divided into fourteen countries for development and management, including three members of the "Seven Summits", which are the Chidu Republic to which they belong, and The United States of West and the Federation of Silver Stars.

Yinfengxing has received 25 large-scale immigrants before and after. It has been developed for 216 years so far, and all kinds of facilities are perfect, so at one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jing found a fairly suitable rental Room.

  The house is not big, the furniture is fairly clean, the water and electricity are complete, and the rent is 700 Nasos per month.

  The Interstellar Commonwealth has launched a common currency as a benchmark a long time ago. The unit is "Nasso". The exchange rate is higher than the currencies of all member states. After years of promotion, it has now become the daily payment currency of more than 100 colonial stars.

   Zhou Jing's account has a total of 3720 Nasos in savings, plus daily living expenses, there is no problem with renting for two months, which is enough to support his plan.

   To go through the rental procedures, he did not see the landlord. The landlord had already entrusted the agency with full authority, and everything was transferred manually by a machine, which was very efficient.

  Pay on the same day and check in with your bags on the same day.

   "I've been living here for the past two months."

   Zhou Jing put down his things and looked around the room, with mixed feelings in his heart, sighing and looking forward to it.

   He cleaned up his complicated mood, went to the mall to buy daily necessities, and enough food, came back and tidy up the house briefly, then closed all the curtains and sat in front of the computer.

   Zhou Jing took some time to search the Internet for some relevant policies and clauses about the support and forced immigration system for power users, and made a preliminary plan.

   "Because of the existence of the astral shuttle panel, there is no longer a chance to become a power user, but the premise is to let the astral apostle clear..."

   Zhou Jing pointed at the virtual keyboard and pondered.

  The astral apostle who has cleared the level can transform the acquired extraordinary ability into the body.

   He has renamed the world he traveled last time in the file of the panel as "World of Alien Beasts", the number is 001, which is the only star world recorded in the current file.

How    discovered the new star world is still unclear, and he intends to solve the visible problem first.

"To become a power user in the alien beast world, you have to let an astral apostle take the alien blood potion as soon as possible to obtain the super power system of the alien blood warrior. And there are only about two months left before the departure of this batch of immigrant spaceships. "

   Zhou Jing was thinking about the time.

  Become a power user before the immigration ship departs, it makes sense to exempt from forced immigration, otherwise people will not turn around and send themselves back halfway when they get on the ship.

   He doesn’t plan to live with his family under the same roof anymore, and he will not owe both of the compulsory immigration quotas, and he will go his own way in the future.

   But interstellar immigration is a big thing after all, and it still needs to be considered... But whether to move or not, Zhou Jing feels that he must take the initiative. That way, he has the right to choose whether to leave or stay, and not be enforced.

   "So, before the immigrant spaceship sets sail, let at least one astral apostle complete the customs clearance, so that I can gain extraordinary power and have the right to choose whether to board the ship."

   Zhou Jing knocked on the table and determined the current target.

   Two months seems to be plenty, but he is not 100% sure... After all, he has only traveled once, and he has no experience in successfully clearing customs.

   In addition, he is still concerned about one thing - according to immigration procedures, those who are forced to emigrate need to undergo medical examinations, including hyperactivity tests.

  Super energy reaction detection can check whether an individual has super powers. This is the method used by the Interstellar Union to register and register super power users, so that it is difficult for self-awakened power users to hide in the public and facilitate management.

   The test before boarding the ship is to make a statistic to screen whether there are hidden power users among the immigrants.

  This detection technology is not high-level, in fact, it analyzes various physical indicators of the subject and compares it with the physical standards of ordinary people.

   Because most superpowers will change some of the owner's apparent characteristics, physical fitness, mental strength, energy response, etc., it is difficult to hide them all.

   As long as there are deviations in some indicators, the error value can be used to determine whether the person has super powers and whether he has "super power reactions".

  Once it is confirmed that the subject has an obvious super reaction... Then don't say anything, register with Ma Liu, follow the staff to the test site, at least show an extraordinary power, and open your eyes to everyone!

   Of course, there will be occasional false positives, so an in-depth medical examination will be carried out... very deep.

   However, there are limitations in the super reaction detection technology, that is, it can only detect whether a person is a super person, but cannot detect what abilities this person has, so it is required to show their abilities.

   Therefore, power users with compound abilities or multiple abilities often pass the test by showing one ability, and other abilities can be concealed logically.

   This kind of example is not rare. Many Super League players whose files are open are like this. It is a legal loophole. As long as they don’t get too arrogant later, everyone turns a blind eye. It has become a practice.

The    astral shuttle panel is too special. He estimates that this simple detection method is basically impossible to detect.

   In short, you still have to get the system of a different blood warrior and disguise yourself as an ordinary body enhancer.

   "Two months, sixty days..."

   Zhou Jing thoughtfully, glanced at the electronic calendar.

  Each colony star has a local calendar suitable for residents' life due to different environments, but the Interstellar Commonwealth has set up a "universal calendar for civilization" to coordinate the date of the entire civilization from an official perspective.

  According to this calendar, the current date of the main world is - July 18, 2351, the universal calendar.

   "The departure date of the immigrant spacecraft is set for September 19th, which is the deadline for my completion of the plan..."

   Zhou Jing's eyes flashed and he pondered to himself.

   Of course, if you have to say, there is a more direct way, that is to run with a bucket.

But he thought about it and thought it was okay... Most power users are still part of society, even those seventh-level power users who are shattered at every turn are also happy to accept the support of various countries, not to mention myself, who is just starting out. Small sprouts.

   "Still try to abide by the law."

   Zhou Jing muttered to himself.

  It is impossible to float, it is impossible to float in this life.

   He wanted to become a power user, not to be a wanted criminal. He was chased by law enforcement officers to run around, and he might cry from behind bars one day.

   Traveling through the star realms is already very exciting. We don’t want to be in chaos every day.

   "Become a power user first, exempt from forced immigration... As for what to do in the future, consider it later."

   finalized the current route, Zhou Jing's heart was clear, and he knew what to do next.

   After shutting down the computer, Zhou Jing called out the panel and glanced at it, a little interested:

   "Speaking of which, the attributes of my body turned out to be like this..."

   In the main world summoning panel, you can still use some functions, such as viewing the astral plane file, the "Astral Apostle Register", and the "Recording Book".

   The most important thing is that the ability attributes of the ontology can also be reflected in the template format of the astral apostle, from which he intuitively understands his own situation:

  [Attribute: Physical 4, Resistance 5, Perception 5, Spirit 7, Energy 0]

  [Qualification: Combat-[Blue], Spirit-[Green], Physical Fitness-[Green]…]

  [Talent: [Battle Intuition] (Sharp fighting instinct)]

  [Skill: None]

  [Extraordinary Power System: None]

   "So my own panel data is like this?"

   Zhou Jing is very interested.

  Everyone has areas they are good at and not good at. The hardest person to understand is often themselves, so they often waste time on the wrong path.

The attribute format of the    panel visually shows what a person has talents in, which is helpful to understand oneself... Zhou Jing estimated that anyone's condition can be displayed in this format, and the ontology is naturally included.

   "If the standard for ordinary people is around 5 o'clock, I am not physically active and a little weaker than ordinary people, but my spirit is higher than ordinary people."

   Zhou Jing was thoughtful, thinking of the improvement of his memory after his return, and vaguely felt that the period when consciousness descended on the astral apostle was a process of tempering his spiritual power.

   "No wonder I didn't feel confused when I came back. It seems that every time I put in awareness, I'm slowly raising my spirits."

   Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes and took this guess in his heart.

   Looking down, his aptitude seems to be pretty good, at least much better than the carrier "Will Wood".

   He has roughly analyzed the meaning of the color grades of each aptitude. Gray means no talent, white is normal, and green is slightly talented.

   And blue, should represent outstanding talent.

   The purple on the top may correspond to the level of talent and genius.

   "The various aptitudes of the main body are mainly green and white, only the [Battle] aptitude has reached blue..."

   Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.

  Blue is already so fierce, so purple can't take off yet?

   In terms of talent, he also has a talent related to combat, [Battle Intuition].

   "Looks like I guessed right, I do have a talent for fighting..."

   Zhou Jing was inexplicably excited.

   But then a new problem came to mind.

  —This is the talent of my body, but when I use the body of "Will Wood", it can still take effect... So the talent of the body, even if it is not displayed in the template of the astral apostle, will it still be used to a certain extent?

   "Well, although different carriers were used when the apostles came to the astral world, the controller is still my mind, and the fighting consciousness I have is my own experience and memory, which will not be affected...

   But on the other hand, the talent of Astral Apostle doesn't seem to be able to take effect on the body, just like the talent of [Agility] can't be felt now. Therefore, the main body is irreplaceable, and it is the core of the ability to play astral shuttle. "

   Zhou Jing pondered the analysis in his heart, feeling that this speculation was reliable.

Speaking of his memory, he couldn't help but think of the skills "Will Wood" possessed - although it was not displayed in the skill column of the body, he still remembered many skills in using daggers, hunting knives, and the vocabulary of the Terra Empire language, but only Remember what you have learned and used with your apostolic body.

For example, when speaking, it is no longer possible to automatically convert the meaning of the expression into the Terran Empire language like when it came. I just remember the words I said when I was in "Will Wood". .

   And the skills mastered by weapons can be remembered in the mind, but the body has no muscle memory, just like it has never been practiced.

   Zhou Jing's eyes lit up:

   "Even if the skills of the astral apostle are not transformed into the body, the relevant knowledge and memory will not disappear. If you remember it, you will remember it, and it will not be lost because of switching bodies.

   So even if you don't clear the level, you can let the main body learn from scratch. And with experience, you will get twice the result with half the effort..."

   But that is to say, due to the difference in the time flow rate of the two planes, the astral apostles have more time to practice, and the cost-effectiveness of clearing an apostle to obtain abilities is still the highest.

   Just the main body can also cultivate on its own.

  Alien-Blood Warrior, a system that needs to be strengthened by external objects, has no way of self-learning, but some knowledge-based extraordinary abilities, even if they are not transformed, I am afraid that the body can also self-learn to become a power user.

   "I found another way, and I can focus on the extraordinary ability of knowledge in the future..."

   Zhou Jing wrote down this discovery, and at the same time thought of a new trick:

"This can actually be a loophole. Some knowledge-based abilities can increase the level when using the carrier, and quickly learn it into memory. Then when I return to the main body or use the next apostle, even if this skill is not displayed, this knowledge is still in my mind. will not disappear.

   For example, if I really learned all the vocabulary of the Terra Empire language, then even if the main body does not have the language analysis skills, I can still master this language..."

   Zhou Jing was excited.

   Wonderful, I feel like I'm gradually figuring out the mechanism of the astral shuttle!

   Between these mechanisms, there seems to be a lot of tricks to be discovered!

   Zhou Jing was so excited that he couldn't stop.

   But he glanced at the time, it was past 5pm, and the 12-hour shuttle cooling was over.

   "Let's take a look first, I don't know how my astral apostle is doing now."

   suppressed his interest in research, Zhou Jing closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the starry space... Now it's time to call the shuttle preparation space.

  …

  …

   (Thanks to the leader of Sinan!)
