Chapter 384 The Only Milestone: First Entry into Mythology
In the end, the energy consumption of this "Vision·Greedy Demon" was extremely terrifying!
After moving around like this for a while, a strong feeling of hunger surged into his heart, as if he had been hungry for a hundred years, and it almost made his eyes turn green.
"I'm so hungry... but I have no interest in ordinary food... this bug seems to be quite nutritious." The red eyes were fixed on the sky fortress under his feet.
"Biba?" Sky Fortress was trembling with fear. "Don't eat me!"
Lu Yuan suppressed his hunger and finally understood why those large anomalies wanted to destroy civilization...
For a natural disaster-level phenomenon, ordinary rice and wheat actually have little nutrition and eating them is equivalent to drinking water.
"Luck" is the highest level of idealistic energy. Destroying a civilization is equivalent to cutting off the fate line, and you can get a lot of "luck" at one time! Currently, this body has accumulated 60,500 luck, which is actually not a small amount.
These "luck" are stored in a special organ called "crystal core", which can enable this body to burst out with the highest level of combat power.
Normally, Lu Yuan was reluctant to take it out and use it.
…
The next level of idealistic energy is spiritual charm.
Spiritual energy can also fill the stomach, but when spiritual energy is consumed, the burst of combat power will not be as exaggerated as "luck".
There is a big gap between "spiritual charm" and "luck". The description of "1 spiritual charm equals 1 civilization point" by that alien is absolutely inaccurate! If I have to describe it, it is equivalent to the difference between nuclear energy and ordinary coal. No matter how much coal burns, the temperature is not as high as nuclear energy.
"Damn, that guy is such a jerk. I almost got misled..."
As for the inferior ones, it is naturally materialistic energy, such as photosynthesis, magma energy, etc., which are low-cost and have many ways to obtain, but they are only used to support the body's activities and cannot make the body grow further.
Lu Yuan felt surprised, bitter, and hungry.
"The Greedy Demon", he really lives up to his name, a gold-devouring beast!
But he had no money. He had invested everything he had into this thing, and his pockets were empty! He had never been so poor before! Unless he embezzled the spiritual energy from the human treasury, he could solve his urgent problem...
"No, no."
On the one hand, it is his principle not to ask for help without permission.
He only took things that had no owner, or items offered by Zerg warriors; he never took human resources that had been turned over to the national treasury.
On the other hand, human civilization 18 can provide him with more "luck"! The current "civilization milestone" is almost completed. Although 60,500 "luck" seems to be a lot, in fact, there is no source of income. It has to rely on the development of human civilization and accumulate slowly.
Therefore, the gradual strengthening of human civilization is also a benefit to him personally.
"We are so poor. I wonder how much ore the Zerg Legion has left..."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw the broken Chaos Essence Stones.
That is, the eggshell-like mineral shattered piece by piece on the beetle's back.
Originally thinking that he could pick up something good, Lu Yuan was surprised to find that the highest grade of these stones was only "rare grade", but their composition was extremely rare, with the fire attribute and the life attribute organically integrated.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Yuan understood that this was because the "Greedy Demon" had used most of the ingredients, so he did not leave behind a lot of good things like the little mirage dragon.
"Why not just eat some..."
Strange vision: Lu Yuan opened his mouth and ate a small half of his eggshell with a "crunch, crunch" sound, converting it into more than 1,300 spiritual energy. The crazy hunger finally disappeared.
He was reluctant to eat the remaining 200 kilograms of ore.
"Let the Zerg Legion go to the human treasury to exchange some."
Humans have plenty of fire-attributed minerals, so they don’t feel bad about eating them.
Then he jumped into the water again.
"Biba?"
Sky Fortress called out, "King, why are you so startled? You act like an idiot?" "Don't worry about me."
With a weight of 12 tons, it was impossible for it to float, and the "strange body" sank straight to the bottom of the sea.
It is really pitch black here, without any light, and the water pressure is as high as 1,000 atmospheres. Even a human master of level nine or even ten cannot survive in the deep sea.
However, despite this terrifying pressure, he felt nothing at all.
He didn't even need to breathe, which saved him the trouble of using complicated oxygen tanks, and he could move briskly at the bottom of the deep sea.
Lu Yuan was delighted: "I told you, humans are too weak, it's better not to be human."
He activated the "Explorer's Eye" and began to search for deep-sea treasures.
Because the real function of the "Greedy Demon" is to "amplify other abilities", the "Explorer's Eye" is much stronger than before. The red gaze penetrates the thick layer of water and reaches the distant distance.
Not long after, he saw a black object on the bumpy seabed. He quickly bent down to pick it up, opened his mouth, and started chewing it.
[Low-quality ore, 1.3 kg, can convert 0.12 spiritual charm]
After several dozen kilometers, I picked up another large piece.
[Also inferior quality, slightly larger, 2.7 kg, worth 0.18 Lingyun]
Then we couldn't find it anymore. At least within a radius of 50 kilometers, there seemed to be no more ore.
What a pit...
In fact, Lu Yuan also knew that the density of extraordinary minerals in the ocean was actually much higher than that on land, but it was still unable to meet his current huge needs.
If you keep activating the "Explorer's Eye" and explore the ocean frantically, you might consume more energy than you earn!
After all, the power consumption of vision is completely different from that of humans.
Humans have their own difficulties, and visions have their own difficulties. Perhaps every "large vision" is like this. They live a frugal life in the midst of hard work and either sleep or attack other civilizations.
Only trees like the Poppy Tree and the Tree of Life, which can produce and sell their own products, have a relatively comfortable life...
Or they could be the immortal giant turtle or the small mirage dragon, small biological phenomena that can replenish their bodies with physical energy, but the price is that their strength will be strictly limited.
In this situation, Lu Yuan was sweating profusely and had to consider increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
"This is... Every time I use an ability, I have to consume my spiritual energy. What should I do?"
When the Tree of Life was transformed into meridians, it was like a tiger swallowing thousands of miles! Lu Yuan wanted to invest everything in it, expecting it to kill a [ghost] in the next second.
But now... we still have to live our daily life.
Without the tree of life, where would the fruit come from?
I can’t even afford to support a conch sister!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What's more, the Tree of Life can get one or two hundred spiritual rhymes every year!
Now that the Tree of Life is gone, won’t we lose a lot of income?
As a result, Commander Lu, who owed Conch a huge debt, deeply felt the malice of this world...
He didn't really want to be the "Greedy Devil" anymore.
At least in daily life, the "Greedy Demon" is not worthy of it, and the human body is better.
After figuring this out, he realized there was no need to mine here anymore. He first activated a few "Pandora Crystals" to offset some of the gravity, then slowly swam back to the Sky Fortress.
Then I gathered all my strength and kept changing my mindset.
"Transfiguration! Tree of Life, come!"
His visionary body continued to grow larger, and the Tree of Life that existed in the form of "veins" began to "fade", and those forked branches overflowed from the surface of his body.
The Tree of Life can really be peeled off again! Of course, after peeling off, all the meridians in the body of the Greedy Demon will be gone, and many functions will be closed, making it only slightly stronger than an ordinary puppet.
However, due to Lu Yuan's chaos, the sky fortress under his feet was almost crushed. After all, the Tree of Life was too heavy.
"Ya Ba?" The Sky Fortress screamed, it was going to sink! Lu Yuan quickly stopped the transformation process and put the Tree of Life away again.
But he was delighted in his heart: "Great, great, the Tree of Life can still be used. I, the Greedy Demon, still have to live my life."
This strange body combines all the abilities and can even be split... This function is extremely powerful!
Lu Yuan was very proud and even a little doubtful. Was this really his creation?
If it happens again, there is no way to copy it.
Unfortunately, he is still too poor, and this body still has many functions that need to be filled... We can only say that the future is promising.
Then, in the next second, the sky changed color and was covered with dark clouds.
“Boom!”
Thunder, lightning, wind, and rain appeared in an instant.
The falling raindrops brought thousands of ripples, the ocean, the waves, and the sky fortress carrying the stones. It had already been ravaged by Lu Yuan, and now it was rising and falling like a small boat, squeaking.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan heard another very soft voice.
[You have completed the only milestone: entering the myth]
[Completion conditions: Be the first to create a mythical-level artificial wonder.]
[Mythology means the ultimate of a certain idealistic field. When history disappears and civilization is extinct, mythology still circulates.]
【Only by expanding your influence can you make the myth more powerful. 】
[You get the only milestone points reward: 5000 points. ]
The sound was very soft, as soft as a mosquito's buzz and almost inaudible.
Moreover, it actually starts with "You have completed the only milestone" instead of using "civilization" as the unit, which is very subtle.
This means that in the human city, no one except Lu Yuan can hear it.
Lu Yuan blinked, thinking about something.
"To expand the myth, we need to expand our influence... Does this have anything to do with luck?"
"Moreover, the emergence of myths seems to be somewhat taboo, and the 'gods' are not promoted in a big way..."
The next second, arc-shaped lightning streaked across the sky.
A tiny white light appeared around Lu Yuan.
Having seen this scene too many times, Lu Yuan was no longer surprised.
However, he was still looking forward to it. This "mythical milestone" that only appears once in a century should be the top milestone. What will the reward be? (End of this chapter)
