Chapter 2293: Chapter 2293: Under the Gathering of Ti Force
"A low-level random instance," Xu Huo said.
Shi Sanjiu gave him a thumbs-up. "You’re pretty damn tough, kid, still risking your neck in the ga while holding an instance."
"Like you said, my strength is too low, I don’t dare stay in an instance too long," Xu Huo explained. "Random instances are a bit better than fixed ones, but not by much."
Once an instance is opened long-term, the opening range of the instance will be restricted by the ga.
So under normal circumstances, he used Tickets to hedge it: opening the instance counted as pausing his Player identity, using a Ticket ant returning to the ga. The yearly opening requirent for "The Seventeenth Hospital" was very low, and the dungeon venue could be closed after each run ended. He didn’t waste ti in the instance and still used Tickets as usual every month, so holding the instance only added an extra safehouse for him.
"Far-sighted," Shi Sanjiu praised. "There’s nothing fun about being an instance holder—you can’t even do whatever you want on your own turf."
"Coming out does carry risks... but at least the haul’s been decent."
Seeing that his tone didn’t match his words, Xu Huo couldn’t help saying, "You’re probably regretting it to the core by now."
Shi Sanjiu shrugged. "Even if I regret it, I can’t admit it. That’s a matter of face."
"Anyway, enough chatter. Are you still going forward? If you are, I’ll go wait for you in Room One Thousand," he said. "There’s no one behind you anymore."
"Seeing is Believing," Xu Huo stated his stance.
"Bit of a waste of ti, though," Shi Sanjiu said. "Don’t you have any handy mobility tools? Even a little aircraft would do."
"Would you carry an aircraft around with you?" Xu Huo stood up and stretched, then flicked his hand; the doors of the rooms ahead swung open one after another, and he himself shot out a hundred ters in an instant.
Shi Sanjiu scratched his thigh. "This is pretty convenient too."
Xu Huo kept running until noon the next day. By that ti he had passed more than fifteen thousand rooms, and things were roughly as Shi Sanjiu had described: the farther he went, the more obvious the differences beca between the corpses in Feng Qian’s rooms and the ones before and after. After passing enough rooms, he could clearly see the incrental increase in Ti Force flow rate between Feng Qian’s rooms. Simply put, they followed a pattern; they weren’t completely unchanging.
Counting the Ti Force inherent within each room, there were three sets of ti rules running here. But Ti Force cannot turn from nothing into sothing, nor from sothing into nothing. Existing objects always exist; even if ti can change their state, the objects themselves do not perish because of Ti Force.
This kind of stable state where different Ti Forces are mixed together was very similar to Dr. Wu’s Pumpkin City, but as for how such a state ford and how to crack it, he hadn’t found an answer back when he was in Pumpkin City either.
Crack it?
When his thoughts turned here, Xu Huo suddenly smiled. He had only just begun Temporal Evolution; figuring out the constructive chanism of this place was definitely out of the question. At best he could shatter the stable state here and let the space spit him out, just like it did with those abandoned items and Player corpses.
Without any leads, doing as Shi Sanjiu suggested—joining forces with others to interfere with the Ti Force here—was the only way they might have a chance of leaving.
Even so, he still didn’t turn back, but planned to keep going forward: to Room Twenty Thousand, Thirty Thousand, Forty, Fifty, all the way to One Hundred Thousand.
When he reached this point, he suddenly had a slightly different idea.
The flow rate of ti on the corpses in Feng Qian’s rooms differed; it looked like they were far apart from each other. But if you gathered this enormous number of rooms together and scaled them down, they’d look like parallel lines arranged on an interface, and Ti Force itself could be strong or weak. With this quantity, the stable state here already exceeded the amount of force required for Pumpkin City.
It was sowhat similar to a Ti Box.
Only, a Ti Box existed in limited numbers.
Take the Cubic Space as an example: Xu Huo also believed the ga could indeed create such devices or venues. And he carried "Three Seconds of a Lifeti" on him, a ti-related Super Item. Even though it could no longer be activated, the material itself still contained Ti Force, yet it still couldn’t interfere with the stability of the rooms. That ant the temporal intensity of this space utterly crushed it, and the Super Props itself had beco the "incompatible" party being interfered with.
The Ti Force inside the rooms and on the corpses could be nudged slightly; only the Ti Force in the four walls and the hanging rope could not be touched. To him, Ti Force was a uniformly distributed power—there was no such thing as a "concentrated" or "compressed" state. Every inch of Ti Force in a given space should be equivalent, or to put it another way, Ti Force only differed in flow rate, not in strength. What Evolvers could control was rely the range over which they introduced Ti Force.
For Ti Force that could already be perceived and was right in front of him, there should be no such thing as a completely immovable situation. Even the rays from "Angel’s Eye" would produce faint vibrations when pulled on by a Super Evolver. It was just that Prival Stone was a fundantally anomalous existence. In terms of "state," it seed closer to the Water Rubik’s Cube. The Water Rubik’s Cube mixed together multiple Ti Forces of different flow rates; why it could produce the form of flowing water, and why the Prival Stone could contain such ultra-strong Ti Force—these were both questions he still couldn’t understand. But they had one thing in common: they both had a "form," and seed to have amplified the stability of Ti Force precisely because of that form.
Could it be that once multiple different Ti Forces are bundled together, the Ti Force itself becos harder to stir?
Then might that hanging rope be the sa kind of situation? That perhaps it actually contained multiple Ti Forces with similar flow rates, only they were too subtle, and because the range within which the power was introduced was small, Players could hardly distinguish them, so it appeared to be a single Ti Force. And with his strength—or that of any other Super Evolver who had co in here—they could neither tell them apart nor draw upon the Ti Force of multiple spaces in one go, which was why they ended up in a situation where the Ti Force within simply could not be interfered with?
Looked at this way, every single room should be a Space Portal connected to multiple spaces—it was just that this portal wasn’t open to them.
The hanging rope could also be a portal, one distinct from the others.
No telling whether bringing in a few more Super Evolvers would yield so results.
With that thought, Xu Huo simply stopped and carefully tried to distinguish the Ti Force within the hanging rope.
Ti Force itself had no form, but the Water Rubik’s Cube had a form, and the hanging rope had a form. According to the District Governnt’s data, the Water Rubik’s Cube was purely composed of Ti Force, forming a water-flow shape. The hanging rope was a fixed object—was there originally a physical hanging rope there, or was the rope itself entirely made of Ti Force?
Could Space-Ti Power directly manifest as a form?
