Chapter 547: The Greedy Demon God's Writings

The weather in the north changes very quickly. It was snowing just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was cloudless. The sun shone on my face through the window, and dust particles floated in the beam.

However, everyone in the conference room was immersed in the discussion - about the future trading market and the direction of human development.

The Rat Man Craftsman added: "The underlying idealistic rules appear in two ways. The first is the invisible resonance of all living beings."

"The civilizations of each era are different, so there will be slight differences."

"As the eras change, the accumulated differences are actually quite significant. For example, the idealistic rules in the technological era and the feudal era are very different."

"In the technological age, it will become easier to create idealistic industrial products, and various carving techniques will be more comprehensive and easier to reproduce. In the feudal era, various cultivation methods, divination, precognition and other abilities may appear more frequently."

"The second way to create idealistic rules is naturally the creation of the strong, especially the creation of craftsmen."

The process of creating new rules is pleasing to the world will of Pangu Continent.

Good or bad, it accepts it all!

As long as a civilization creates new idealistic rules, it will leave a permanent mark and add a new color to the future.

However, this act of creation is rejected by certain beings.

Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.

Shu Gongye shook his head and said, "Some legendary abilities... you know, may be too strong. Once they violate taboos, they may be dangerous."

"Are you planning to merge stronger abilities?"

"For now, this is just research. We won't integrate stronger abilities..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not good to be too weak.

Being too strong is not good either.

Because humans are not strong enough, even if the Greedy Demon really merged with [Gangfeng] and defeated a [Ghost], it would be meaningless without sufficient ability to seal it.

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment: "In short, I have a new understanding of the field."

"For example, the derivative field of the ability of Steel, Iron Block... you can experience it."

"I made a few minor changes to the rules of Steel's ability and extended it to the nearby space. This way, it won't trigger the taboo, but it will be less powerful."

[Field Iron Block]! [Steel] ability, originally existed in the bones of the Greedy Demon.

Now, Lu Yuan has replaced a rib in his human body with a small piece of "bone", and his human body can also use this field.

Everyone sensed it and found that under this silver light, the use of all abilities became stiff and rigid.

"Interesting." The master human craftsman, Jin Daduan, showed an interested expression, "It's completely different from real [Steel]."

Jin Daduan is the second human craftsman besides Lu Yuan who can forge a forging field. Of course, he has to be in an inspired state to forge for others.

Shu Gongye also nodded: "But your [Iron Block] field will affect the use of your own abilities, right? Can you still use your spatial abilities?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It will indeed have a small impact. So I am thinking about connecting multiple abilities in series to generate a more complex field, reducing interference and applying it to productivity."

"Do you remember the 'Farmer No. 1' I created?"

"Farmer No. 1" is a legendary puppet created by Lu Yuan during a gambling fight with the Underground Alliance. It can emit a mushroom growing field, making the surrounding land suitable for growing mushrooms.

This thing...is essentially a product of showmanship.

Its functionality is still too limited.

The diameter of the field is only about ten meters. With such a small area, the annual additional output is... 1 Lingyun. According to the base price of legendary items, which is 1,000 Lingyun, the output of this thing is really low.

Lu Yuan once wanted to modify "Farmer No. 1" and expand the scope of the field, but the final result was failure.

But now, his understanding of idealistic rules has reached a higher level, so perhaps there is a certain possibility.

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "Even more, there are some extraordinary laws that can be stably reproduced! I plan to slowly sort them out and teach everyone the knowledge related to the field."

"Well...it's time to write a book."

Now, not only the ratman craftsmen, but even the human craftsmen were rubbing their hands and their eyes were shining.

The inheritance of the Grand Master!

Although there is only one letter difference between Grandmaster and Master, the gap between them is as huge as a chasm!

"Write a book?"

“But many of Commander Lu’s insights are too difficult. It’s hard for us to grasp them mentally,” the human craftsmen said in distress.

"I'll try to find some patterns."

"You can pass it on to us first and help you test it." Shu Gongye rubbed his hands.

Lu Yuan felt that there was great potential in this matter.

As he grew up, he had to forge his own path.

Just like the "Great Gear Encyclopedia" and "Small Gear Encyclopedia" he once obtained, only by writing books can he pass on his ideas.

Now Lu Yuan’s realm is no longer limited to improving himself.

He was actually a little pessimistic. Could humans really surpass the gear civilization and become the pinnacle civilization of the Ninth Era?

Can humans really solve the epochal disaster?

No matter how optimistic a person is, he or she does not have this kind of confidence.

Therefore, he wanted to pass on his knowledge and leave behind some wealth, regardless of race or who learned it.

Lu Yuan had already thought of the title of the book, "The Greedy Demon God Forging Manual"! He took out a few pages of draft paper.

The opening line reads: [I am the first myth of the Ninth Epoch, the Greedy Demon God Lu Yuan, from the 18th Human Civilization. I am now writing down my life’s creative ideas in this book. If you can learn a little bit, it will be a benefit to future generations.]

He's not pretending to be cool, reputation is very important!

On the one hand, it attracts the reader's attention so that he or she won't just glance at it and throw it away.

On the other hand, a name is something that is hard to explain, but maybe there are some hidden benefits? People don’t seek profit, but they always seek to be mentioned.

The first part is about the borrowing of the "fortune" of civilization.

In fact, this is already advanced knowledge, and junior craftsmen cannot understand it at all.

[But in fact, junior craftsmen can also borrow luck, but they don't have this subjective awareness, or they borrow it unintentionally without knowing it. ]

[Now I will explain some simple concepts...]

Lu Yuan gave a total of three examples, each of which was about using inferior materials to forge ordinary-level extraordinary equipment.

"A long sword forged from black iron, used for killing..."

The second is to use inferior materials to forge rare-level extraordinary equipment.

Finally, use inferior quality equipment to forge excellent quality equipment.

The difficulty increases gradually, and more examples are given.

Lu Yuan couldn't impart any more profound knowledge. Theoretically, inferior materials could be used to forge a legendary "Farmer No. 1", but conventional language was too pale and difficult to describe.

Lu Yuan knew that too powerful knowledge could easily bring trouble, and that humans must avoid it if they want to develop.

"I have published these papers among humans. My current intention is to sell them to other civilizations at a low price."

Some knowledge is hard to explain, and being able to be organized into a language that intelligent life can understand is only a small part of knowledge.

"You mean... the academic center?!"

"Yes, there are hundreds of civilizations in the North. Even if there are only two or three craftsmen in each city, the total number is more than a thousand. Just think about it, how powerful is this force? If you add those with the ability of glyphs, I suspect that three to five thousand craftsmen will be more than enough!"

Everyone gasped.

If there are 3,000 disciples, how much power is that? Even if they are of different races, so what? For a craftsman, the original intention is the most important. If a craftsman forgets the grace of teaching and solving problems, then he will never achieve great success in his life.

Lu Yuan added: "The second article is about the research on extraordinary materials and anti-entropy elements. I am still writing this content and it has not been completed yet."

"But I already have an idea and will be able to publish an article soon."

"The third part is high-level materials, and the sorting out of extraordinary veins also needs to be studied."

“You can also write your own academic summary in the book, and I will add your name.”

Everyone was tempted. This was a chance to go down in history! Of course, one had to be academically strong enough to be included in the books.

Otherwise, you will just make up stories and be laughed at.

"The last and most important part is the research on the field!"

“I think this thing has great potential.”

In the past, field was not given much attention because it was difficult and useless.

The gap between a level six warrior and a level seven warrior lies in the field, but it requires too much manpower and material resources.

Conventional civilizations require craftsmen with bursts of inspiration to tailor a venue, which is really too luxurious.

A craftsman only has a few moments of inspiration in his lifetime.

It would be better to use inspiration to forge one more piece of equipment to add more heritage to the civilization.

However, Lu Yuan is different.

He has provided enough fields for forging people and accumulated a great deal of experience.

At this moment, after cultivating the "core of ability" and having the "field of greed", I gradually thought about this point more clearly.

"The field is actually another manifestation of the 'idealistic imprint' and a variant of supernatural abilities."

It would be a pity to discard it just because you think it is useless.

"So I think that everything can be a field! All abilities, all materials, from black iron to eternal gold, can be extended into a field!"

Everyone's eyes widened.

Of course, this statement is still very difficult. The example of "Farmer No. 1" is far from enough. If a "field industrial chain" can be formed in the future, it will be considered to have confirmed the true maturity of this idea.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Let me give you another example: the extraordinary fire can actually be extended to a field, so let's just call it the [Fire Field]. What is the most lacking thing in a place like the North? Warmth! Except for the geothermal zone, other areas are too cold, and even a level 6 expert could freeze to death."

"If we can create a piece of equipment that can help stimulate the [Fire Field], can it cause a big change in the environment here?"

"Let me give you another example, the Iron Block Field. All you need is a piece of Greedy Demon's bone and some anti-entropy elements to create this field. Think about it, what is the use of this thing?"

"Can... it be purified?" A craftsman raised his hand and said, "Many idealistic elements will undergo subtle changes in this environment, making it easier to purify them."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Or maybe... a seal? Although it's a bit difficult to seal a [ghost], it's more than enough to seal ordinary anomalies."

"That's right!" Lu Yuan clapped his hands, "This is still an [Iron Block Field]. If everything can be a field, can we develop a completely new technological path?"

Hiss—the people in the conference room took a deep breath. This idea was too grand! It could be described as the founding of a new school of thought!

Shu Gongye looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief. If this really succeeded, then the name of "Greedy Demon" might really become like the former "Gear Civilization".

Even if the eras change, it can be passed down for a long time.

"But this job is difficult!" Shu Gongye judged, "Your 'Farmer No. 1' is a legendary item... no matter how rubbish it is, it is still a legend."

"Think about it, a traditional craftsman who creates one or two legendary items in his lifetime is already a master. Why do you expect them to follow your path?"

He was very puzzled: "There are the "Great Gear Codex" and the "Small Gear Codex" in the world, but the Small Gear Codex is the most widely circulated. The "Great Gear Codex" can only be read by those with great spiritual charm. It is too high-brow and few people can understand it."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "So I'm still exploring. If I can lower the difficulty, maybe I can find a new path."

“How to lower the difficulty?”

"The idea now is to add some anti-entropy elements. I'm still looking for the law in it."

He planned to use the [Greed Field] to study the underlying imprints of some extraordinary abilities, starting step by step.

The ratman craftsman stroked his beard and said, "Anti-entropy elements are very rare... How many civilizations can afford them?"

But on second thought, if anti-entropy elements are mixed in, legendary items can be created - it seems quite attractive?

At least he is willing to spend some money to do it.

"Moreover, once an object that can generate a field is created, it can be used for a long time."

"From this perspective, it seems to be a good deal..."

…

…

…

While Lu Yuan and others were discussing enthusiastically, hundreds of people from the Ulan clan also fell into a state of frenzy in the room.

A bunch of people gathered together, staring at the tablet and studying!

Even the curtains were closed and several soldiers were posted to guard the gate.

"What is this... an S-class space suit? What is a space suit?"

"Railway train? It's not cheap... I've seen this thing among the dwarves."

The dazzling array of resources and goods impacted their fragile hearts. They really wanted to buy everything. They wanted everything! Their eyes were red with desire.

Even ordinary soldiers realized that this was a major opportunity - a great opportunity that would allow the city and race to rise faster!

"Grand Secretary, who is stronger, Green City or the Dwarf Clan?" A soldier licked his dry lips.

"That's... hard to say." Grand Secretary Constantine pondered for a while and shook his head. "What Green City has shown so far cannot be all of its strengths. There must be many more secrets hidden."

"The same is true for the dwarves. They hide a lot of things."

"But as of now, Green City seems to be more advanced than the dwarves. Their electronic products are so powerful." He nodded at the large group of robots outside the window.

In just half a day, all the snow in a city will be cleared. This work efficiency... machines are much more reliable than people.

"If Green City upholds its reputation for fair trade and is willing to deliver goods to your door, soon most cities in the entire northern border will be attracted to trade here. By then..."

"Okay, stop talking about these useless things! The most urgent thing is to discuss what we have that can be sold to the other party!" The mayor of Ulan City, Tagang, slammed the table hard, and turned his head to look at his brothers who were in the same distress as him in another city.

I am afraid that my brother will suffer, and I am also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover. This is a true psychological portrayal - especially when this brother is richer than me, the nerves in my heart are really tense.

But, we are so poor! Another city lord, Daogu, cleared his throat: "Ahem, can we jointly invest and buy some items? For example, a floating fortress, half of the shares of a city. This way we can save half of the funds."

"I can definitely do business together."

This is actually a bad idea. After all, the two cities are one thousand kilometers apart, and it is easy for conflicts to arise between them.

But there is no way, I am poor! It is a great temptation to buy a joint venture with half the money. As for the future disputes, I will think about it later.

“But even if the floating fortress can be jointly invested, won’t we buy the others?”

"Rail trains cannot be shared, solar panels cannot be shared... and down jackets, computers, mobile phones..."

Everyone racked their brains to think about it.

The confusion on his face was like a dark cloud that could not be dispelled.

Suddenly, Grand Secretary Constantine's eyes lit up: "Did you receive the carved compass distributed by the dwarves in the past?"

"You mean... that thing that's as big as a small house?"

"Yes!"

Fifty years ago, the powerful dwarf tribe spent a lot of money to distribute a kind of "glyph compass".

This thing is about the size of a millstone, and its surface is engraved with extremely complex carvings.

The dwarves claimed that as long as most of the citizens of the city gathered around the "Glyph Compass", they could convert a high-level idealistic energy! This idealistic energy was more noble than "spiritual charm", and they were willing to pay a high price to buy it!

This grand move did bring some benefits to the dwarves.

Some weak cities used the "Glyph Compass" to convert this high-level energy, sold it at a good price, and lived a good life.

But among the civilizations that survive in such a bitter and cold place as the North, which one is a good person?

In addition, there are many relics here, and there are always some lucky civilizations that can find relevant knowledge in ancient documents.

Not all of them, there was news that this higher-level energy was a product called "civilization points" or "luck"! ! It was 100 million times more valuable than any combustible crystal or coal, and many times more valuable than spiritual energy! When many civilizations heard about selling their "luck", they immediately became unwilling.

Are you kidding? That’s “luck”! There are also some cities that sell “luck” cheaply, and they are so angry that they feel as if their future is gone.

Although the dwarves are strong, it is impossible for them to go to war with all races, so they can only suspend this action for the time being.

"During the dwarven movement, we didn't acquire much, but we lost a lot of reputation... It wasn't until recent years that we slowly recovered." Constantine raised his eyebrows, "There are no secrets in the North! Unless we make a living by robbing like those predator civilizations, reputation is still very important."

"You mean, let us sell 'Yun'? Sell it at a high price?" The two leaders showed worry on their faces.

Last time, they didn't sell any.

Why sell it this time?

"That's because we didn't figure out what 'luck' is last time." The university scholar stroked his beard, "After a long period of academic exchanges, we found that 'luck' is just a noun and does not involve real luck."

"Spiritual charm is the idealistic energy of individuals. After squeezing the soul, you can get spiritual charm. The energy of the extraordinary fire can also be transformed into spiritual charm. Everyone knows this, right?"

People nodded.

"And luck, or 'civilization points', is the idealistic energy based on civilization. If civilization is a fruit tree, the so-called 'civilization points' are equivalent to the fruits that have already grown."

"Picking these fruits will not cause any harm to the city. So we actually misunderstood the dwarves in the past."

"Misunderstanding? They just want to buy civilization points cheaply! Don't think too highly of them!"

"What about Green City? Should we sell it to them? The speed at which civilization points are generated is very slow, right?"

"Indeed... not high. According to ancient documents, if a city stagnates in development, it will basically not be able to generate anything. Even if it develops rapidly to the level of ruins, it will only increase by a few tenths of a civilization point a year..." The Grand Secretary does know a little bit about everything. "Do you remember the civilization milestones? If you complete a certain milestone, you may get a lot of income. But if you accumulate it yourself, it will be difficult to slow down."

Everyone showed surprise.

The cities in the north were also in the safe zone at the beginning.

It was not until the past hundred years that the activities of the dwarves caused other cities to leave the safe zone one after another.

The human race of the Snow Continent, because they are born with supernatural abilities, have completed one or two milestones, such as "taming supernatural creatures".

"We definitely have a few civilization points!"

"We can ask Green City if they want to buy this thing. If they lower the price too much, we can... sell it to the dwarves!"

"Right! That's how it should be!!"

Suddenly, everyone had a smile on their face when they had a large sum of money. When they looked at the supplies on the tablet computer, their bright expressions were like the sunshine in spring.
