Chapter 518: The need to re-evaluate human potential
Communication at the front is still ongoing.
The old Dengs may have been buried in the ground for too long, and they are getting more and more excited when they pretend to be cool! "Level 3 civilization, listen up!"
"All of the aliens here are at least members of the fourth-level civilization!"
When these words were said, each of these old fellows straightened their backs, as if they had returned to a long, long time ago.
Glory, although it only exists in the past.
But we have been brilliant before, and that is enough to be proud of.
"We are the Crystal Concrete Civilization, and we are even a genuine Level 5 civilization!" Even the most emotionally stable Crystal Man put on a proud attitude, "Although there are only three of us here... we were once members of the High-level Council, so what was that..."
"Ga~Ga~Ga~" A crystal man who forgot to speak was so excited that the crystal on his forehead cracked.
The other aliens were equally excited.
Live!
This is... the feeling of being alive!
Especially the old snake man, who was pretending to be powerful and started shaking his tail, making the sound of a rattlesnake.
"Junior, did you just want to torture me with the electric chair? And you also wanted to transplant some deformed organ into me."
"Hehe, this is just a joke..." Lu Yuan naturally turned his head away with a face as thick as a city wall.
The snake man was overjoyed.
I am an old veteran, and my ability to survive is many times better than yours.
Why don't you send some delicious food over here! Just some pointers will be enough to benefit you! "Quack, quack!" (tail wagging)
"Gah!" (strange cry)
The scene was very crazy.
Lu Yuan was speechless.
He is a man with a good temper, and being ridiculed a few times won't hurt him much anyway.
But you can't be too psychotic.
He took a deep breath and said in a rhythmic voice: "Seniors from the fifth-level civilization, please save us!"
"Level 3 civilization is going to die!"
He even dragged out the sound and almost startled the ghost.
A breeze blew, and it was chilly.
The aliens looked a little embarrassed after hearing his yell. We don’t have the ability... We finally managed to show off, but you ruined it.
The old men all quieted down.
Lu Yuan coughed and said, "So, what achievements do we need to achieve to become a Level 5 civilization?"
"Of course... to achieve preliminary space technology." The creature in the form of a crystal man sighed, "Level 5 civilizations like ours are rare, and there are only a few in an era."
"Starting from the fifth level of civilization, there is hope for escaping from Pangu Continent."
"Maybe... maybe I am civilized and still alive..."
His slightly cloudy eyes, like glass beads, looked towards the midday sun.
"What level of civilization is the Dalai Empire?"
"What empire... I can't remember clearly..."
"What about the gear civilization?"
"This... I seem to have heard of it..."
The most cunning old snake man even started to charge money. He stretched out a slender, shriveled hand and asked Lu Yuan for money: "Young man, you have a lot of questions. One question, one stroke of spiritual charm..."
"Forget it, Lingyun is useless. How about answering a question and you owe us a favor?"
"Okay, okay, it's good to owe you a favor!" Many old men applauded.
Seeing them asking for money, Lu Yuan secretly groaned.
How can a favor from the Greedy Demon God be so cheap? But greed is allowed, but fraud is not. Breaking a contract is not the style of the Greedy Demon God...
"Senior, you are the great remnants of the fifth-level civilization. How can you exploit us rookies?"
"As an old-fashioned ancient alien, we have experienced countless hardships, and the memories left behind are very precious. It is not excessive to collect intellectual property rights!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but think quickly in his mind.
"These guys are so nervous. I'm afraid there's something wrong with their brains. If you're polite to them, they'll just blow their noses and glare at you."
"Do we really need to torture them?"
He rejected this plan again: "Alas...if these guys have really made great contributions and have important tasks, it would be inappropriate for me to torture them."
On the other hand, the fifth-level civilization is indeed much more powerful than the third-level civilization.
However, the knowledge that a single individual possesses is limited.
If you can't come up with the corresponding technology, there is little point in torture.
Of course, it does make sense to dig out more intelligence, such as historical common sense, the mysteries of the era, hidden secrets, and so on.
"But it's hard to tell whether this information is true or false..."
Lu Yuan thought to himself that if he brought these guys into the Immortal Palace, they would not be able to tell lies.
He didn't want to expose the secret of "Asgard" carelessly. After all, the risk of revealing "Asgard" was much higher than the ability of [Steel].
As a result, this conversation came to a standstill for a while.
…
After a while, Comrade Old Cat, who had been picking up trash near the pond, came back.
As a robot, it can resist the temptation of the spring water very well, and the [Ghost] does not react too much to it.
I picked up a lot of all kinds of messy garbage.
Several mineral water bottles were salvaged from the Fountain of Eternal Life.
"How's the investigation going?" Lu Yuan asked quickly through the headset.
"The amount of Eternal Life Spring Water is huge, beyond imagination." Old Cat said, "I estimated that about a hundred tons emerge every day, but most of it evaporates and is worthless."
“How did the spring appear?”
The old cat replied: "It didn't come out from the ground, but from an unknown space. The spiritual charm contained in the spring water is very little... I don't know how it can achieve the function of immortality."
"Once out of the pool, the water loses its function within a day. This means that your idea of taking it away is impossible to achieve."
"Okay, let's take it back and study it." Lu Yuan said.
"What about further investigation?"
"There are many secrets here, and there is no need to investigate them thoroughly. After all, our strength is not worthy of our current knowledge. It is safer to ask these strangers."
The old cat nodded: "But these old men are seriously mentally ill. You have to kill them to reduce their prestige, but it's best not to offend them too much."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Don't worry, I promise to discipline them until they are obedient."
On the other side, Duke Magmite was looking through the things that Old Cat brought back. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he smelled a faint scent of history.
But he quickly calmed down. This place was not safe, so he had to wait until he returned to make any decisions.
…
The sun gradually moved westward. Lu Yuan greeted the old men and bowed respectfully.
"My dear seniors, it is getting late. I am afraid the [ghost] will soon come out."
"You guys gather slowly. The third-level civilization cannot withstand the attack of the [ghosts]. So I'll take my leave now!"
The group of pretentious strangers were suddenly a little confused.
Why...why did you leave? Lu Yuan waved his hand: "This is a box of canned fruit we presented to you."
Left without any hesitation.
Really gone? The strangers stared at the canned fruit in a daze.
Why don't you ask us for help? At the beginning, they were still a little bit embarrassed.
I kept seeing a small spaceship flying down, loading three power armors, and about to take off, and I started to get anxious.
Wait for us! "Wait!" The old snake man swam and caught up.
"Well, old man, what else is there?"
The old snake man shamelessly grabbed Lu Yuan's arm and said, "Youngsters, we are all together now, why don't you treat us to a meal? We eat mandrake fruit every day, and we want to have a good meal occasionally. You won't be so stingy, right?"
His tone was noticeably softer.
Lu Yuan sighed and said, "We are a third-level civilization, with a small family and a small business. If one of you is a [demon] and wants to take over our bodies, we can't afford it."
"Don't be so timid, third-level civilization." The large crystal man said, "I have marked those [Demons] with my divine skills. I even know where they are..."
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly looked confused.
"Hey, why is there one missing?"
"Has he died and not been reborn yet? Where did [Devil's Ruins of Control] go?"
The divine skill - [Soul Mark], can permanently mark strange phenomena or life forms and know their specific life status.
Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you can still find it.
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment.
"It possessed someone's body and tried to rob our city. We discovered it, killed it, and sealed it away."
Suddenly, the expressions of these strange people changed slightly, and they stared at Lu Yuan in surprise.
"Don't brag..."
"I'm not exaggerating. The whole process was thrilling."
The aliens breathed rapidly, as if trying to discern his expression through the power armor.
They are all aware of the capabilities of [Ruins of Control].
Time-related abilities are extremely powerful!
And they were beaten to death? How did a mere Level 3 civilization do that? To be frank, even if hydrogen bombs were used in the city, [Ruins of Control] would have enough power to escape.
The large crystal man sensed for a long time and sighed: "[Demon·Ruins of Control] is really dead... Its remains are in that direction..."
"What he said is true."
The other strangers all had tense faces and various thoughts in their minds.
"Level 3 technology, how do we do it?"
Being able to kill [Ruins of Control], the potential needs to be re-evaluated.
Wait, why is [Ruins of Control] taking over someone else's body?
This problem is a bit serious.
The old snake man said angrily: "It seems that it has fallen..."
"A [Demon] that is truly willing to fight should face the difficulties and take over the body of a [Ghost]. This is the value of their existence! What is the meaning of taking over the body of an ordinary person?"
Another stranger said: "You are wrong."
"The [Demons] of later generations are all failures. They are all too smart and start to do opportunistic and shady things."
"They think their goal is impossible to achieve, but they start to have free will. How shameless! The Ruins of Control should be sealed forever! Let it die in the cold ruins of time."
Lu Yuan said helplessly: "In the outside world, I'm afraid there are no such demons with determined goals as you mentioned."
