After Mark had regained his social capabilities, we made our way to the market. Since we couldn't consume too many pills anyway and needed to pass the time, we decided to do some shopping.
The market was alive with vibrant colors and bustling energy. Stalls were set up everywhere, with merchants showcasing their goods. The lively atmosphere overwhelmed us as we immersed ourselves in the diverse offerings, enchanting our senses.
[Discovery of a New Form of Storage Medium]
I stumbled upon a stall run by a young lad, who had spread his merchandise on the ground. His stall was filled with luminous stones that shimmered in shades of blue. These stones emitted a mysterious energy, immediately capturing my attention.
Curious, I asked him about the stones, and he explained that when filled with Qi, they would emit a gentle glow. However, besides their luminescence, they seemed to have no other apparent utility, and their brightness was not particularly strong.
As Nori diligently analyzed the properties of the glowing stones. She unveiled the true potential of these stones as storage devices
It appeared that nobody was aware of the infinite possibilities these stones held. It was crucial for me to acquire them all from the young vendor, for a mere gold piece, which was more than he could have imagined. Additionally, I obtained information from him regarding the stones' origin.
He lifted his head and pointed to a map. "They come from a cave north of here," he explained. "It is a remote location, but the stones are abundant there."
"Then I will return to the fantasy world to save my family and upload the information from my mind into the servers," I added.
"I would like to stay here a little longer," Mark said.
"No problem, we will meet again at this location in seven days," I replied, marking the spot as I set my alarm.
[Reminder set]
With that, I made my way towards the cave.
As I ventured deeper into the cave, I discovered an impressive collection of crystals and luminous stones.
Sitting in a cross-legged position, I prepared myself to depart this world.
Then a glorious idea struck me: I decided to create a clone that would watch over me and adapt as necessary. After all, I didn't know what would happen to my physical body when I left this world.
I formed a doppelgänger and instructed it to take care of me and adapt. "That should be enough," I thought.
