Chapter 110 Contribution Points for Forcing Someone to Death
"Mahayana stage? Never heard of it." Ye Du scratched his head. Logically speaking, such a relaxed attitude should not be adopted in an abandoned city full of zombies. Maybe some zombies would target people who let their guard down.
People are eager to kill zombies to obtain their brain cores, and zombies also want to kill the enhanced ones and eat their flesh and blood.
However, when he was with Jiang Li, Ye Du would always relax unconsciously.
After talking with Jiang Li for such a long time, how could Ye Wu not see that this big man knew nothing about zombies? Considering what he said and the clothing of the ancients, Ye Wu made a bold and absurd guess.
"You, you are from another world?" she asked stutteringly, and then she realized that this question involved the boss's privacy and that her question was presumptuous.
"Yes." Jiang Li did not hide it, "I came to your place to find a little thing that runs very fast."
"Did you become stronger by using your brain core?" Jiang Li asked again, "I see you are about to break through."
Ye Wu understood what Jiang Li meant, and before he could finish his words, she took out the brain core of a third-level zombie.
The brain core should be absorbed in a safe place, and there is no place in the world safer than being with Jiang Li.
Ye Wu placed the brain core on his forehead, closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing the power in the brain core.
A trace of power floated out from the brain core, slowly nourishing Yewu's body. Yewu felt an unprecedented powerful force pouring into his body, causing his blood to speed up, cells to differentiate, and metabolism to increase.
Jiang Li saw the whole process clearly. The spiritual power content in the brain core was equivalent to that of a Jindan cultivator. However, during the process of Ye Wu absorbing it, most of it diffused into the air, and only a small part entered Ye Wu's body.
The result of this absorption method is that Yewu can only enter the middle stage of the second stage from the late stage of the first stage.
"How do you all absorb energy this way?" Jiang Li asked Ye Du, "Is there no more efficient way to absorb energy?"
Ye Du said as a matter of course: "This is already the fastest absorption method after several improvements."
Seeing that Ye Wu wanted to absorb the second-level brain core, Jiang Li stopped her.
"Your body is like a balloon that is about to burst. If you absorb any more power, you will die, not to mention a second-level brain core. Even if you absorb the power of a first-level brain core, you will die. What you need to do now is not to absorb power, but to get familiar with your body."
Ye Wu had never absorbed so much power before. She and her brother had always relied on taking potions to become stronger. They had never absorbed a second-level brain core, let alone a third-level brain core.
She had never heard of the idea of absorbing brain cores to make herself explode, but she believed Jiang Li's words. There was no need for the big guy to lie to her.
"Haven't you ever practiced on your own?" Jiang Li heard Ye Wu say that they all relied on potions prepared by imitating brain cores, or directly explained that they became stronger by absorbing brain cores.
"Practice?"
“It’s about absorbing the power in the air.”
"This is absolutely not possible." Ye Wu was shocked. She thought that this big guy wanted her to absorb the power in the air, so she hurriedly explained.
"Everyone knows that there is energy in the air, but no one dares to absorb it. The power in the air is mixed with the zombie virus. If you absorb too much energy, you will become a zombie."
"Those who have survived until now have more or less antibodies. They won't turn into zombies if they breathe normally, but if they absorb the power in the air, they will be courting death."
"Can't the zombie virus be separated from the power in the air?" Jiang Li also found that the spiritual power here was extremely polluted, but this was not a problem.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered in his palm and formed a liquid. The spiritual liquid, which should have been blue, was shiny black.
As the thought flashed through his mind, the black liquid separated from the spiritual liquid, and the spiritual liquid returned to its original vibrant blue color.
“Like this.”
Ye Du widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Jiang Li signaled Ye Du to absorb the spiritual liquid. Ye Du did not expect that such a good thing would happen to him. After absorbing the spiritual liquid, he became a first-level peak enhancer.
On the way to District 3, Jiang Li talked a lot with the siblings, mostly about how to practice.
Jiang Li came to the conclusion that this is a cultivation system that is very different from Jiuzhou.
Jiuzhou cultivation emphasizes adapting to nature, understanding the way of heaven, achieving the unity of man and nature, and then absorbing spiritual energy to slowly improve the body.

The people in this zombie world have a simple and crude way of cultivation. They don't need to comprehend anything, they just absorb spiritual energy. This method causes them not to know many Taoist magic powers. The second-level enhancers cannot achieve the self-awareness in the foundation-building period, and the third-level enhancers cannot achieve the unity of qi and blood in the golden elixir period and control it freely.
Moreover, this method of practice damages the root of the disease, and life span decreases instead of increases, making it difficult to live beyond fifty years old.
Jiang Li saw the problem of life span himself. This world had only been practicing for ten years, but no one had died of natural causes yet.
However, Jiang Li also understood that it was difficult for people here to even survive. They might be eaten by zombies any day, so they would not care about whether their foundation was damaged or not.
"arrive."
Ye Wu brought Jiang Li to the outskirts of District 3. Outside the city, there were many pale and thin people, most of whom were elderly. They sat in tents, their eyes revealing despair and death.
"This is..." Jiang Li frowned, looking at these people. The area around District 3 was safe, and there were no zombies on weekdays, but he heard from Ye Wu that there were zombies rushing into the city from time to time. How could these people living outside the wall survive? Ye Wu sighed and explained: "Even if you don't eat or drink and just live in the city, you still have to pay contribution points. If you can't pay, you will be driven out of the city. If you are lucky, you can still live for a while, but if you are unlucky and encounter zombies..."
Ye Du said bitterly: "Contribution points are the universal currency of the five major districts. Those chaebols are crazy about contribution points and force people to hand them in. Otherwise, we wouldn't run out and fight desperately so often!"
"Little brother!" Ye Wu hurriedly grabbed Ye Du, saying that he didn't want to live after saying bad things about the chaebol outside the third district.
"Why don't these people have contribution points? How can they get contribution points?"
"You can earn contribution points by killing zombies and selling their brain cores, working for the consortium, doing scientific research, finding useful things in the abandoned city and selling them, doing odd jobs, etc. Most of those who were driven out of the city are elderly people, or people who have become disabled while exploring outside. They can only work odd jobs desperately in the city. They work for eighteen hours straight to earn a few contribution points, which is barely enough to eat and live in the city."
"If something unexpected happens and I'm missing a few days of odd jobs, my contribution points won't be enough and I'll be kicked out."
"Damn consortium, they set the food price too high. This is not the case in other districts. I heard that the food in District 1 is only one twentieth of that here!" Ye Du couldn't help but curse, "This consortium is simply a ghost that sucks people's marrow! Many people didn't die at the mouths of zombies, but were forced to death by them!"
