Chapter 94: Painting to Heaven

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bang!

With a loud bang, Feng Qi kicked open the metal door numbered 004.

After his physical strength was enhanced, the metal door that originally needed a few kicks to break open could now be broken with just one kick.

After passing through the smoke and dust, he walked into the room and pressed the light switch on the right wall.

A flash passed and his vision suddenly widened.

There were several assembly line machines in this room. All the machines were connected, and there were transport tracks installed high above. However, the surface of all the machines was already covered in rust.

Reaching the end of the assembly line machine, he climbed the ladder to the three-meter-tall metal box and yanked open the metal lid.

An unpleasant smell assaulted his face. Looking down, he could see that the bottom of the box had already condensed into a thick layer of brown transparent solid.

“What the hell is this?”

[This is obviously a room for processing food. The tracks above are connected to the residents’ rooms and a daily quota is delivered every day. Compared to the era you’re in, it was already good enough for the residents living in the apocalyptic world to have enough to eat. It’s impossible for them to eat well. Unless it’s a special festival, they can only eat this kind of nutritional paste.]

Hearing the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi felt upset.

He suddenly thought of the letters his classmates had left in the time capsule when they graduated. While they were looking forward to the arrival of the glorious era, they were also envious of the people living in the future and thought that they must be very blissful.

Perhaps they would never see that day in their lives, but they still chose to work hard for it.

However, if they knew that the future they fought for would be like this, how despaired would they be?

[Only when you see the truth will you realize how imperfect this world is. You will discover that there are many regrets that need to be made up for, but you can rewrite all of this to make up for the regrets and perfect it.]

“You’re so mushy. I’m getting goosebumps.”

[Bleh.]

Jumping down the metal ladder, he walked out of the room.

Although Feng Qi said that, he actually agreed with the narrator’s words from the bottom of his heart. He would always look forward to the future and believe that surprise would come one day.

Arriving in front of Room 005, he took two steps back, then took a big step forward and kicked forward forcefully.

With a loud bang, the metal door fell.

He walked into the room and turned on the light switch. The scene in front of him stunned him.

This place was filled with all kinds of cold weapons, sabers, swords, spears, rods, halberds… All kinds of weapons were neatly placed against the wall.

Moreover, the weapons here had not rusted with the passing of time. They were still flickering with a cold glint under the light.

This did not surprise Feng Qi.

The weapons of many domain warriors in the modern world would not oxidize.

This was because their weapons were all forged from special ores produced in the domain field. They were extremely tough and resistant to corrosion.

He came before a battle axe and stood still. He reached out and grabbed the handle of the battle axe, lifting it up. Immediately, a faint red light appeared on the surface of the weapon.

Seeing this faint red light, Feng Qi knew that the quality of the spiritual ores used to forge this weapon was extremely high.

Only a small minority of extremely precious spiritual ores could automatically absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

Cultivators consumed the Spiritual Qi stored in their bodies in battle. With such a weapon, it was equivalent to having an additional bar of mana. Moreover, this bar of mana would automatically absorb Spiritual Qi to replenish itself.

After swinging the battle axe twice, a sharp wind-breaking sound sounded, but Feng Qi still felt that the battle axe was not very comfortable to use.

[The leg bone club is your natural weapon. In the future, if you want to forge weapons in reality, just forge them according to the club. It will definitely not feel comfortable for you to use other weapons.]

Feng Qi wanted to retort, but he felt that the narrator was right.

He was used to using the leg bone club, so it really felt awkward using other weapons.

As for Suction Cup, she was an exception. She was a fully automatic combat weapon that only needed to be thrown out. There was no need for him to personally manipulate her during the battle.

After walking around the room, he tried to use other weapons, but he felt that they were lacking after swinging them. They did not feel as comfortable as the bone club.

Just as Feng Qi was about to leave, he discovered a scroll placed in the corner of the room.

He went to the corner and picked it up.

It was unknown what material the scroll was made of, but time had not corroded it. It’s texture was soft to the touch, as if it was made of the skin of some animal. There was also white fine fur on the outer surface.

Feng Qi moved to center of the room and squatted on the ground to slowly open the scroll.

It was about two and a half meters long and half a meter wide. On it was a landscape painting of mountains and rivers. In the center of the painting, there were three golden words “Painting to Heaven” printed in seal script.

Upon closer inspection, one could see many strange figures hidden in the painting.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled above a mountain peak on the left side of the painting. However, if one looked carefully, they would discover that a ferocious-looking face was faintly discernible among the lightning.

There was a huge lake in the bottom left corner of the painting. A huge black shadow was swimming under the lake, raising waves on the surface of the lake.

There were many other hidden figures. This appeared to be a landscape painting, but there were actually many strange things hidden within.

The three words in the center of the painting reminded him of the “Path to Heaven” that Lu Yue had mentioned.

“Narrator, get out here and explain this.”

[I think… the big fish in this lake should be enough to feed Mu Qing for a few days.]

As the veins on his forehead throbbed, he couldn’t help but ask again,

“What I’m asking is, do you know the origin of this painting? Or can you see any information from it?”

[Then you’re asking the wrong person. I’m as dumbfounded as you are.]

After hearing the narrator’s answer, he cast his gaze at the painting again. As he carefully sized it up, he realized that the upper right corner of the painting was labeled with an inconspicuous pattern that had fused with the color of the background of the painting.

This pattern looked like a snake with its head and tail connected.

As for the meaning contained in it, he could not tell.

[Have you seen martial arts movie before? Usually, if you can’t see through it, burn it. Perhaps there’s a peerless cultivation technique hidden inside, the kind that makes you invincible after you cultivate it.]

Feng Qi did not know if the narrator was giving him a hint or fooling him.

Therefore, he immediately walked out of the room with the scroll and went to the food processing assembly line next door.

As he scanned the area, he went to the main control panel and pressed the red button on it.

The machine shook for a while, then, the entire processing assembly line began to operate. The robot arm in the center of the assembly line began to grab empty air and entered the food processing segment.

Raging flames ignited in one of the machines used for waste incineration.

Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately went to it and threw the scroll in.

A moment later, he looked at the scroll that remained completely undamaged in the flames expressionlessly.

[Why don’t you change your train of thought and try watering it? Shoot some water at it and some important information might appear.]

[I’m sorry, I forgot that you didn’t bring a watergun. It’s my fault. I definitely didn’t mean to deliberately cause trouble.]

“I’d be a fool to believe you.”

After turning off the machine, Feng Qi took out the scroll.

This scroll made of an unknown material not only withstood the flames, but there was also no heat on it.

He tried to tear it with all his might, but he realized that he could not tear open the scroll with his strength either.

After exerting strength again, he reached out and threw the scroll away before walking out of the room.

Since he could not figure it out, he could only choose to give up.

Continuing to persevere was not only meaningless, but also a waste of precious time.

Every time he entered a future dream, his plan was to explore three rooms and find useful information.

After leaving this room, he went to the third room, Room 006.

After violently kicking open the door, he walked in and turned on the lights in the room.

The scene in front of him shocked him.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the specimens displayed in the room were domain creatures. They were arranged in a lifelike positions. In front of each specimen was a metal plate. The words on it had been corroded and could no longer be read clearly.

After glancing around, he left the room.

When he opened the room mystery boxes this time, other than the Painting to Heaven that might contain hidden information, he did not find any meaningful content in the other two rooms.

After exiting the room with domain creature specimens, he walked straight to the database control panel.

At this moment, muffled sounds of fighting came from above. Clearly, Suction Cup and Blackie had arrived above the shelter during their battle.

However, when he walked to the database control panel, the sounds of fighting above disappeared again.

Regarding this, he could only cheer for Suction Cup in his heart.

As for giving help, it was impossible. With his current strength, he could not even last a round against Blackie. If he rushed forward, it would not be called helping. It would be called “courting death.”

[Correction, it’s “deserving death”.]

“You talk too much.”

He opened the cultivation technique library in the database and began to choose the cultivation technique that he needed to memorize this time.

After reading the introduction of more than ten cultivation techniques, he chose a two-star cultivation technique for body cultivation, <Ultimate Strength and Ferocity>.

After clicking confirm, a dignified man in a teacher’s uniform appeared in the video.

He also entered a learning state.

At this moment, he was not paying attention to the outside world and was only focused on studying.

For him, who had always been motivated to learn, he began to swim in the sea of knowledge. Freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke…

[And doggy paddle!]

“Shut up!”

After an unknown period of time, Feng Qi came back to his senses after watching the video twice and memorizing the teaching content.

At this moment, the battle between Suction Cup and Little Black was clearly still ongoing. Therefore, he opened the video of the cultivation technique research method teaching and continued learning.

However, after watching it twice, Blackie still did not come.

This was clearly related to the increase in Suction Cup’s strength.

He felt that perhaps the Suction Cup could defeat Blackie this time and let him escape Blackie’s pursuit.

Even though the probability was very low, he still looked forward to it.

What should I do next? After pondering for a moment, he decided to search for biological science content to learn.

The next time he entered the future dream, if he chose the undercover Scarlet Research Institute as the future line, then biological science knowledge would be very important.

This concerned whether he could be promoted in the Scarlet Research Institute and be allowed to come into contact with the core secrets of the institute.

Therefore, he began to search the database for breakthrough research results in the biological sciences.

In the search, a headline caught his eye.

[Is the growth line of Rune Transformers good or bad, let us analyze it in depth.]

Seeing this title, he immediately thought of Mu Qing and the Rune Transformers Project that she restarted when she established Dawn.

Feng Qi, who knew very little about Rune Transformers, clicked on the title and began to read the details..
