Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
In the past month, Lin Yun's development has undergone earth-shattering changes.
First, the number of orphans in the base has exceeded ten thousand, and five hundred of them have broken through to the early stage of Ming Jin. Although it is only the early stage of Ming Jin, and they have just entered the path of martial arts, it should be noted that many martial arts practitioners are blocked at this threshold. Among ordinary martial arts practitioners, not even one in a thousand may be able to break through to this level.
Once you break through this level, you'll have a clear path to further cultivation.
Only those martial arts practitioners in martial arts sects and families, who have better training methods, with proper instruction from their masters and diligent practice from their disciples, can guarantee that one in dozens of people will become a martial artist.
Of the 10,000 orphans, more than 500 have broken through to the early stage of Ming Jin. This is a ratio of 20 to 1, which is an astonishing ratio even among some martial arts sects and families.
Furthermore, it must be understood that the earliest of these people had only been practicing martial arts for two months, and the latest had only been practicing for a few days or ten days. Most of them had not been practicing for more than a month. Under such circumstances, it is an extremely terrifying proportion that more than 500 out of 10,000 orphans broke through to the early stage of Ming Jin.
Back then, Yan Dashan said that Lin Yun had good talent in martial arts. It took Lin Yun several years to break through to the early stage of Ming Jin. Lin Mengmeng's martial arts talent was no worse than Lin Yun's. She had better teaching from a young age and it took her three or four years to break through to the early stage of Ming Jin.
The speed at which these orphans broke through to the early stage of Ming Jin was more than ten times that of Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng, which shows how astonishing it was.
Lin Yun knew that this was the allure of various cultivation resources: the poor are good at literature, the rich are good at martial arts—this principle applies to both primitive and interstellar civilizations.
Currently, the equipment and resources these orphans use are relatively basic. He plans to purchase better equipment and resources for orphans with better martial arts talent after some time.
These orphans are extremely loyal, and Lin Yun intends to train them as his direct subordinates, so he doesn't plan to be stingy with them. However, resources are limited, especially in the early stages, and some resources need to be used wisely. Therefore, he needs to select some orphans with higher talents so that those resources can play a greater role.
Speaking of which, Lin Yun noticed that some orphans who were faster at refining various energies and converting them into spiritual energy had slightly lower comprehension, while some orphans who were slower at refining various energies and converting them into spiritual energy had slightly higher comprehension.
In short, Lin Yun once discovered that Indians and people of nearby ethnicities provided higher levels of spiritual energy, while Chinese and some other Eastern peoples provided less. Now, Lin Yun has discovered that Indians and people of nearby ethnicities have slightly lower comprehension, while Chinese and some other Eastern peoples have slightly higher comprehension.
Therefore, among those orphans who broke through to the early stage of Ming Jin, those who had the same amount of martial arts training time, a significant proportion were Chinese and some other Easterners.
Lin Yun guessed that it was probably due to the principle of "things reaching their extreme will reverse." It was very likely that the Indians, as well as the people of the surrounding area, were able to refine various energies to provide spiritual energy at a faster rate due to environmental reasons, but they were overdrawing their energy, which caused some physical or mental problems, resulting in their slightly lower comprehension.
Perhaps, as time goes on, this phenomenon will gradually change, and it is even possible that their future martial arts talent will be higher than that of Easterners, but this seems to be the case for now.
In the first ten days of this month, Lin Yun used most of the spiritual crystals he obtained to improve the security of the base.
Shielding equipment, air defense equipment, attack equipment, and some powerful robots.
In addition, with the spiritual crystals that Lin Yun continuously collected from various places, the security of this base was greatly enhanced by the hundreds of thousands of spiritual crystals he spent. Even if a martial artist at the Golden Core stage came, or even a martial artist at the mid-stage of the Golden Core stage, Lin Yun was confident that he could defend against them for a period of time.
Lin Yun is no longer afraid of superweapon attacks; what he fears are powerful martial artists. Compared to inflexible and rigid superweapons, powerful martial artists pose a greater threat.
During the ten days in between, Lin Yun used the spiritual crystals he obtained to purchase large quantities of equipment for absorbing and refining spiritual energy. With the global search in the first ten days, the second-level spiritual energy he obtained from those innate experts, the all-out collection efforts of Lang Jiuping and his group, and the strong support from behind, Lin Yun had accumulated many second-level spiritual energy.
In ten days, Lin Yun purchased a total of thirty professional devices for absorbing and refining spiritual energy.
Almost all of the world's most populous cities have been equipped with this device. Unfortunately, there aren't that many cities with a population of 20 million, and Lin Yun hasn't acquired that many Level 2 spiritual abilities either.
In the end, considering only these devices, Lin Yun only obtains about 29,000 spiritual crystals per day.
Although this is still a terrifying number, compared to the original daily output of about 10,500 spirit crystals, and the addition of 30 specialized devices for absorbing and refining spiritual energy, which only resulted in an increase of about 18,500 spirit crystals, it is not too much.
Lin Yun has already planned that after a period of development, he will begin to build cities with a large population. He has already begun to implement this plan. His partners have been sent to various places to investigate and make arrangements. They are all protected by powerful robots, so Lin Yun is not worried about their safety. When his partners heard that they were being sent to develop a super business district and that Lin Yun would be their strong backer, they were all very excited.
Lin Yun didn't spend the spiritual crystals he gained in the last ten days.
You can obtain about 29,000 spirit crystals every day, and the number of spirit crystals you can obtain in ten days is astonishing.
"I've finally accumulated 300,000 spirit crystals..."
On this day, Lin Yun opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
Three hundred thousand spirit crystals could buy a robot with the strength of a mid-stage Golden Core martial artist, which was what he planned to do. The battle in Xianyuan County last time had already shown him that a robot with the strength of a Golden Core martial artist was extremely powerful.
It's beyond what ordinary technological weapons can handle.
Even if he used those 300,000 spirit crystals to buy a mid-level warship of a second-level civilization, it wouldn't necessarily be a robot opponent with the strength of a martial artist at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
A robot possessing the strength of a Golden Core warrior is ultimately a combat machine produced by a Level 5 civilization.
Currently, he only has Lin Tian, a robot with the strength of a martial artist at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, by his side. The security of this base is based on Lin Tian's presence. If Lin Tian is not present, the security level will drop significantly.
He needs to purchase another robot with the strength of a Golden Core martial artist before he can leave with peace of mind.
The base's security is important, and so is his security.
Based on his experience purchasing robots of various levels, he knew that if he had enough spiritual crystals, it was more cost-effective to go for the best one in one go. A stronger robot, in terms of both power and function, far surpassed a group of weaker robots.
Therefore, he accumulated 300,000 spirit crystals with the intention of directly purchasing a robot with the strength of a mid-stage Golden Core martial artist.
As for robots with higher capabilities, Lin Yun wasn't unwilling, but he would have to wait seven more days. He had already waited a month and didn't want to wait any longer. At this rate, there was no end in sight.
Just like how he used to want to buy professional equipment to absorb and refine spiritual energy as soon as he had spiritual crystals, when he accumulated 500,000 spiritual crystals, he would definitely want to accumulate 700,000, and when he accumulated 700,000 spiritual crystals, he would definitely want to accumulate 1 million spiritual crystals.
He figured he'd have to buy a robot with the strength of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator sooner or later anyway, so he might as well buy it now and use it, which would allow him to leave this place sooner and go see other places.
Otherwise, I'll always feel uneasy if he leaves.
