Li Qingyu reached out and caught the dazzling gold coin, holding it in front of his eyes.

At this moment, all that could be seen on the front of the gold coin was the head of a black fish with an extremely fearful expression.

Judging by its appearance, it's clearly the fish head that was burned off by that big gold chain earlier... the Victoria's Secret head...

Li Qingyu flipped the gold coin over and looked at the back.

All right....

Still fish head...

Li Qingyu tried to squeeze it with his hands, and it actually deformed... A magic coin? It feels like real gold to me...

Li Qingyu tentatively put the gold coin into his mouth.

In an instant, the gold coins vanished.

At the same time, the evolution points in Li Qingyu's mind increased by one.

In other words...

Li Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly. One fish-headed man was equivalent to one gold coin and one evolution point!

As for the strength of that fish-headed man... while he wasn't particularly strong, he was definitely stronger than an ordinary person on Earth....

However, he was still just a foot soldier.

A mere soldier, with just one evolution point?

This makes up for the fact that the minions don't have magic cores...

but....

Li Qingyu sighed.

At this moment, the cooldown time displayed after the gold chain's Midas touch skill is two hours.

Two hours for just one evolution point?

This efficiency is just too low...

When Li Qingyu first entered the Civilization Conquest Tournament, the Midas Touch might have been a god-tier skill, but now, it's really just so-so...

It's more efficient to just scavenge corpses...

With this in mind, Li Qingyu no longer hesitated.

Consuming five evolution points, I used Crimson Enhancement on the big gold chain again.

S-rank, one evolution point every two hours...

So... what about SS-class?

As he watched the blazing flames of evolution, Li Qingyu's chest began to burn.

That was...the most genuine expectation and longing...

[Large gold chain]

[Rank: SS]

[Passive Skill: Grace. You will gain one gold coin every hour.]

Passive Skill: Wallet. The gold coins you earn will be stored in your wallet for you to access at any time.

[Active Skill: Gold Conversion. Once activated, it directly converts targets with a strength level no higher than SS into gold. The cooldown time will reset based on the target's strength; the higher the strength, the longer the cooldown.]

Inequal exchange...

Hey....

Li Qingyu was amused.

Whether the effect of the Golden Touch was improved or not, Li Qingyu couldn't tell for the time being, but the effect of this blessing truly moved him deeply.

Making money while lying down?

It's the dream of countless people...

Li Qingyu did some quick calculations.

One per hour, twenty-four per day, more than eight thousand per year!

The one million points needed to upgrade to Crimson will be enough if I live for more than a hundred years!

Li Qingyu was instantly filled with happiness.

If only there weren't any Civilization Conquest tournaments... I could just lie around for ten thousand years and accumulate a hundred million evolution points...

I... am God!

After the happiness, Li Qingyu returned to reality.

His gaze towards the big gold chain softened even more.

Just as Li Qingyu was about to upgrade the big gold chain to SSS level, he was stunned.

Damn it...

Our initial goal for this evolution was to resolve the negative effects of the Sword of Pain and Madness, so how did things go so wrong...?

They've gotten so busy they can make money while lying down...

Looking at the only two remaining SSS-level equipment slots, Li Qingyu was heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe.

Why... did it take me so long to understand you...?

Why... did I only realize how good you are so late...?

Why... did it take me so long to want to be with you forever...?

Li Qingyu closed his eyes and shook his head.

What a difficult choice...

A tank top and a thick gold chain.

If we evolve everything, then we'll completely run out of SSS-level item slots, and from now on we can only evolve our own organs to SSS-level.

Unless... he uses Miss Qiu's spot himself, freeing up one of the available places...

However, if he had to choose only one to evolve, Li Qingyu would not be able to accept giving up either one.

Give up tank tops...

Li Qingyu was afraid that something might happen during the competition, and he would go crazy...

Giving up the big gold chain...

Li Qingyu was afraid that he... might go crazy at any moment...

Keep in mind, SS-rank characters get one evolution point per hour, so SSS-rank... one second of evolution every second... Li Qingyu felt like he was being disrespectful to money...

Li Qingyu was extremely conflicted.

So... I chose to follow the will of my heart...

...............

[United Heavenly Path: Friendly reminder, you will enter the preparation space in ten seconds. As you are a contestant from the Pet Civilization, please bring your pet.]

【ten】

【Nine】

【eight】...

Suddenly, a countdown began.

Li Qingyu, who was lying on the dining table in the living room with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

really....

This time, United Heaven Path did not distribute the seeded player designation cards until the start of the competition.

In other words...

Is Blue Star fielding the same remnants of their previous lineup in this joint qualifying round?

Li Qingyu suddenly felt a lot of pressure. After all, it was agreed that if there was a designated player card, Youzi would be chosen. Now, he could only rely on himself.
