C71 Klein Ii
Xiang Jing didn't share his guess. After all, he was just an outsider so he didn't need to understand these things too well.
However, from the looks of it, something had happened behind the clan that led to this incident. Otherwise, no matter how much a super modern civilization declined, they would not be reduced to such a state right now.
Yunmu Lu arranged the best living quarters for Xiang Jing and the others.
However, what they said was the best. In Xiang Jing's eyes, it was just a slightly bigger empty house without even the most basic furniture.
Xiang Jing spent ten Hunting Points s to exchange for a complete set of furniture, a bed, light source, kitchen appliances and more.
As a Chinese, Xiang Jing could not bear the life of a primitive tribe, so he had to have some living equipment.
Fortunately, the living quarters were big enough, so there was more than enough space to put down these things. Coupled with Xiang Jing's modifications, a standard suite of a chef and a guard appeared in the clouds not long later.
This caused Yun Mulu to send someone over to deliver lunch. When he saw the originally empty house, he was stunned as if it had suddenly been completely transformed.
Then, all of the clansmen in the cloud curtain ran over to Xiang Jing's side to watch, then they kowtowed as if this was a miracle.
Xiang Jing let Beast King of One Hundred Mountains send them off, then called over Yun Mulu.
He was not here on vacation, and he was not even sure how he got here. Before he went back the way he came, he had to find out if there was anything worth taking with him.
If his guess was not wrong, the Klein Clan's predecessors should have left some good things for their descendants.
However, from the looks of their development, it didn't seem like they were there.
After Yun Mu Lu was called over, he followed suit and entered the room. Then, with Xiang Jing's permission, he carefully sat on the sofa.
The softness of the touch, the flexibility it was suitable for, made Yun Mulu feel as if he was rising into the sky.
Xiang Jing smiled, and when he came back to his senses, he said, "Yunmu Lu, did your ancestors leave anything for you?"
Yun Mulu realized that he had lost his composure, sat up straight, thought for a while and said, "Yes, besides these techniques, the ancestors also left behind some books and tools."
Xiang Jing's eyes lit up as he said, "This God of Heaven's Envoy wants to see those books and tools."
Yun Mu Lu revealed a troubled expression and said, "Because it's been too long, many of those books have already rotted away, so I can't even see the handwriting clearly. Except for a few items, the rest of the tools are useless."
Xiang Jing said it didn't matter, so just bring it over.
Since the God of Heaven's messenger had already said so, there was no reason for Yunmu Lu to not give it. He got someone to bring a wooden chest over and put it in Xiang Jing's residence.
Xiang Jing looked at the box. He didn't know what kind of wood it was, but it looked quite old and there was no sign of decay. It even had a little fragrance.
The box did not have a lock, it was only tied with rattan plants.
Xiang Jing easily undid the vines and opened the box.
Inside were a dozen books and some tools.
Xiang Jing took out the tools. Some of them were already broken, while others were already broken into pieces.
After taking all of the items from the upper level, Xiang Jing suddenly glared at the items at the bottom of the box.
He extended his hand and took out one of them. It was ivory white, and although its shape was a bit peculiar, like a shuttle, it had an obvious trigger. It was a Laser Gun.
It was just that there were no more ammunition, so it couldn't be used. However, its performance was still maintained at three levels.
Laser Gun's ammunition was a special type of energy. Normally, when filled with energy, it could be shot a hundred times.
This Laser Gun did not have any energy, so it could only be a decoration.
Yun Mulu said that their Klein had been residing here for a thousand years. Adding on the speculation of the civilisation fault, it was already a very good weapon for the Laser Gun to be able to keep its abilities up to three levels.
There were a total of two such Laser Gun chests, both of them having three levels of performance preservation.
Subsequently, Xiang Jing also discovered an energy chip. There were a total of three pieces, which were yellow in color, and were not used to fill up the Laser Gun.
Other than that, Xiang Jing actually found a fragment of the Hetero-Space key.
This was definitely a pleasant surprise.
He had obtained two key fragments from the De City and had not been able to find one for a long time. He never thought that he would actually find one here.
The metal shards were a dark silver, with faint blue lines and irregular, potholed shapes.
Adding this piece, Xiang Jing got a total of three pieces, and two of them could be put together.
He only had two more pieces left and he would be able to piece out a complete metal fragment. At that time, he would be able to activate the D-level Hetero-Space of the De City.
After putting away the key fragments, Xiang Jing took two Laser Gun and bought an energy block from the system store to load.
An earthen yellow stream of light circulated around the spear, and the entire spear seemed to have come alive.
Xiang Jing didn't rush to test its power and put it to the side first.
He then looked through the books, hoping to find something useful.
He flipped through some basic books on knowledge, culture, and education. However, judging from the state of the cloud, he had probably lost most of it.
There were basic technical books on house construction and so on, which, depending on the cloud, had only learned to build houses and simple weapons.
After reading the last few books, Xiang Jing was obviously stunned.
This was because even though the language recorded in the book was similar to the language written in the cloud screen, it was clearly more complicated. The Oracle Bone Text that was similar to the Chinese characters were the same as the simple characters.
If Xiang Jing didn't have the chip, he would be confused too.
The more Xiang Jing read, the more shocked he became. In the end, he felt a chill run down his spine.
What was written on it was the history of the Klein Clan.
From what was recorded in this book, their race had existed for 50,000 years. Civilization and technology had advanced to an unprecedented level, and their genes had been greatly improved. Everyone could live up to 500 years old.
It could be said that in the eyes of the Klein Clan, the most pinnacle of civilized technology on Earth was nothing more than what they still had left over to play with.
However, such a powerful race had somehow suffered a disaster.
After fifty thousand years of development, the Klein Clan was already able to completely use renewable energy and environmentally friendly energy sources to maintain social development, and did not need to absorb energy from the planet they lived on.
However, the planet they lived on would one day emit the aura of death!
