The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 700 What to pay for
In this regard, Gao Yang was still very calm.

He has also long accepted another truth: any good thing in this world can happen to anyone, and no one is truly special.

He didn't dare to add more, firstly because he was afraid of waste, and secondly because according to previous experience, this threshold should almost trigger something.

The bottom line in his mind was to increase it to 2100, but he didn't expect that 2020 would be enough.

Without waiting for Gao Yang to speak, the system continued to explain: "You can now go to the wishing well to make a wish. When you are eager enough for a talent and are willing to pay a certain amount of luck points, you can effectively increase the hit rate and success rate of realizing the talent."

"How much does it cost to make a wish?" Gao Yang asked.

"There is a discount for making a wish for the first time, and it only costs 1000 lucky points." the system said.

——You still need 1000 points with a discount? !

——You could obviously steal the money directly, but you still gave me a wish. You really made me cry to death.

Complaints are complaints, Gao Yang did not hesitate at all: "I want to make a wish."

"I'll take you to the wishing fountain now."

As Mi Shi spoke, her body became transparent, and the entire dormitory gradually became transparent until it completely melted into the darkness.

Gao Yang was suspended in the darkness, feeling weightless.

After a while, he heard some ancient, silent, and at the same time deeply awe-inspiring sound, as if accompanied by water, climbing up from the soles of his feet.

They are like the undercurrent surging under the abyss, like the murmuring and crying of countless innocent souls, and like... the strange sound of burning souls as firewood.

Gao Yang thought he wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore, but this voice still made him couldn't help but close his eyes and tremble all over, almost instinctively.

Half a minute later, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and his feet stepped on the "ground".

Gao Yang plucked up the courage and opened his eyes.

For a while, he was stunned.

The world in front of us has no boundaries between heaven and earth, nor between light and shadow. It is chaos.

Under Gao Yang's feet was an indescribably huge black abyss.

The surroundings of the abyss - the endless surroundings are dark gray chaos that looks like sea water and dense fog. They roll into this bottomless abyss and form a "circular waterfall".

This reminded Gao Yang of a place in mythology - Guixu, a bottomless abyss that swallowed everything.

In the very center of the abyss, there stood a white "stone pile" that looked very much like a giant's finger bone.

It is not accurate to say that it is standing, because the abyss is bottomless, and naturally the bottom of the "stone pillar" cannot be seen, so from a visual point of view, it is more like floating in the center of the abyss.

As for Gao Yang, he was standing on this stone pillar. The top of the stone pillar was only as big as a telephone pole. Gao Yang could not even move his feet, let alone turn around.

He didn't dare to look down at his feet anymore, fearing that he would fall into the abyss due to instability. That was a fear deeper than death, a fear of nothingness and the unknown.

He was just thrown into the middle of the abyss, and the system was long gone.

Suddenly, an extreme loneliness that penetrated the world penetrated into his body. His chest felt desolate, and he even briefly forgot about his body's instinctive fear.

At this time, the previous sounds came from the abyss underfoot: undercurrents surging, murmuring and crying, souls burning...

Some kind of indescribable dark gray things began to "boil". They got deeper and deeper, and quickly filled the entire abyss.

Then, countless pure white light spots emerged under this dark gray thing, getting brighter and brighter.

They were like thousands of white mayflies, finding their way little by little while swimming in chaos, converging towards two points, and quickly formed two huge white vortices.

Soon, these two white vortices turned into a pair of "eyes".

With the eyes, a vague and vague face is formed.

This giant's face slowly rose above the abyss. It looked very laborious, because the dark gray thing was still like a film-like black gauze, covering his face, causing him to suffocate. Twisting.

This face is higher than the mountain, looking down at Gao Yang, just like a human looking at an ant.

"What are you asking for?"

That face has no "mouth", but it emits an ancient, powerful and majestic voice.That voice was not a human language. It came from all directions without entering Gao Yang's eardrums. It directly vibrated and washed every energy molecule in his body, allowing Gao Yang to immediately understand its will, just as naturally as a fish understands water.

Gao Yang felt like he was out of body, and for a moment he forgot to answer.

"What are you asking for?"

Once again, the giant face struggling and twisting under the "black veil" raised questions.

"Absolute defense!" Gao Yang came to his senses and shouted to the other party, fearing that it wouldn't hear: "I want to understand absolute defense!"

The world was silent for a second, and Gao Yang felt that his voice was quickly sucked away and returned to nothingness.

"What's the cost?"

The sound that directly penetrated the body and will and resonated with energy appeared again.

Gao Yang was a little confused: Isn't it 1000 lucky points? It has been agreed with the system.

Gao Yang ignored it and shouted again: "1000 lucky points!"

……

"not enough."

After a few seconds, the giant face replied.

Gao Yang continued to shout: "What do you want? What else can I give you?"

The world stopped again for three seconds.

"What do you want? What else can I give you?" His face was like an echo in the abyss, repeating Gao Yang's words.

Gao Yang suddenly felt an uncontrollable irritability and fatigue. He was fed up with playing riddles, fed up with mysteries, fed up with the arrogance, indifference and indifference of the powerful looking at the weak.

The awe, fear and scruples in my heart disappeared.

Gao Yang yelled angrily: "I don't have anything anymore! Did you hear that! I don't have anything anymore! Don't even think about taking anything away!"

Loneliness, long loneliness.

The sound appeared again between heaven and earth.

"nothingness."

"You choose to pay for nothing."

--What's the meaning?
——Can "nothingness" be given as something?
——Did he misunderstand my wish?What on earth was he thinking?
Gao Yang was even more confused, but it seemed that the wish had been successful.

The two eyes of the face turned into white whirlpools again, and then turned into thousands of mayflies that slowly dispersed and finally disappeared.

There is no face, and the dark gray gauze covering the face no longer exists. They are like disappearing beer foam, sinking little by little, returning to the bottomless abyss.

Gao Yang still stands alone in the middle of the abyss, not belonging to heaven or earth.

……

Gao Yang suddenly opened his eyes, he had returned to the "university dormitory".

He completely forgot how he came back, as if his memory was suddenly fragmented.

Mishi was still standing in front of Gao Yang. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, your wish came true."

Gao Yang lowered his head and looked at his hands.

He took some time to calm down, raised his head and asked coldly: "System, do I have to go to that ghost place every time I make a wish in the future?"

"No need, you have already seen Him, you can operate directly on the system interface in the future." Mi Shi said.

——I can't ask for it.

Gao Yang nodded: "Exit the system."
