Chapter 84 Authority

The results of collecting rent after the high-intensity battle were outstanding.

As Yujing No. 1 continued to drink tube after tube, the fifth divine gene came naturally.

now.

A faint divine aura of the Wind God sequence emanated from Li Yi's body.

An invisible whirlwind was spinning freely outside his body.

As soon as he thought about it, an invisible whirlwind flew onto his palm and swirled quietly.

I stretched out my other hand and touched it with my fingers, and it indeed felt like a rapidly spinning movement.

"Not bad, I have both the wind and thunder divine genes. Even though I only have one, it seems like I can come up with an interesting new skill."

"Also... this divine gene doesn't seem that difficult to control? The last time the Thor sequence gene was generated, it was very difficult to control it tightly."

"Could it be that my physique is more suitable for the Wind God sequence?"

"However, it's only slightly better. If I want to get rid of that feeling of disharmony, it seems I still have to find Zhang Jingyu."

With a quick flash of thought, Li Yi retracted the divinity he had released.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw seven divine mechas standing silently beside me.

"Thanks to the Zhang and Qian brothers for their strong support."

Zhang Xuqiang was the first to say, "It's what we should do. It's all for the sake of fulfilling our contract."

Li Yi didn't say anything more.

As the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character. When they grow up, if the seven members of the Zhang and Qian families don't cause any trouble, he will indeed have to be grateful for this relationship.

Several people outside, observing Li Yi's appearance, all knew that Li Yi's fifth divine gene must have been successful.

With such a big commotion, everyone would pay more attention.

Cai Xiaodong was filled with envy, and suddenly said to Tan Haoran beside him:

"Tan Haoran, come and beat me up. Let me also be stimulated and accelerate the arousal of my divinity."

Tan Haoran was stunned, then smiled and said:

"Then you have to treat me to a good meal."

"No problem. I don't have much of anything now, but I have a lot of money and military merits."

"Forget it, neither Li Yi nor Pharmacist Wan dare to say that."

"Hehe, because I'm weak, the consumption is less."

Not only these two people, even Zheng Xueyuan took the initiative to say to the pharmacist Wan: "Sister Wan, how about you also come and practice with me? I'm very resistant to beatings."

…

The news that Li Yi had condensed the fifth divine gene again spread like wildfire throughout the three special classes.

Class 1.

Zhou Huize's team is discussing Li Yi's situation.

Recently they are often brought out together for discussion and criticism.

It's hard not to arouse discussion among them with news like this.

At this moment, Gu Luowen, who was ranked 4th in Class 1 of Zhou Huize's group, was browsing the messages in the group and sighed, "One divine gene per week. How can he be so fast? I'm jealous."

"He has good talent, and he is a composite person. His progress in the early stages will naturally be much faster than that of a pure person."

Ma Chengfeng, who ranked third in Class 1, smiled calmly.

"Compounds and purists?"

"Stupid, the question is whether the divine radiation is unique."

Gu Luowen asked curiously, "Then I am the only one, right? How come you divide it so fancy? It almost confuses me."

Ma Chengfeng smiled and said, "The only faction in my mind is very special. This thing is only suitable for the powerful families above the upper level, because they have enough divine mechas and upper-sequence mechas in their families, and they can share the divine radiation of the higher level with the children of the lower level."

"Therefore, if you follow the steps, you will eventually become a high-level evolver. You even have a good chance of reaching the heavenly level."

Gu Luowen touched his chin:

"Is it the Heavenly Position? What's above that?"

Ma Chengfeng spread his hands and said, "How would I know? These are all top secrets. I only heard that only people with extraordinary talents can obtain the secret of becoming a person above the heavenly rank."

Gu Luowen said, "Well, the Heavenly Rank does seem pretty good. My old man has only reached the top. If I can become a Heavenly Rank, I can beat him. Just thinking about it makes me excited."

"Oh my god, you're the only one who can say that. I don't even dare to think that I can become a Heavenly Evolver."

Ma Chengfeng said with emotion.

"So you have no confidence? You are the elite among the elites in the special selection class."

"Because there is no senior mecha master in my family, I can only go the composite school. The composite school makes rapid progress in the early stage, but after reaching the top, there is a ceiling for growth."

Ma Chengfeng shook his head and said:

"So, don't look at Li Yi's rapid rise now. Even I, who is also a compound school, can't catch up with his tail dust. But when he reaches the upper level of evolution, he will definitely encounter a bottleneck. At that time, it will be the time for you, Gu Luowen, to have a chance to defeat him."

"Bah, I'm too idle to compete with such a top genius. Besides, he is so powerful, it may not be impossible for him to get the secret of becoming a heavenly being that you mentioned."

Gu Luowen chuckled.

Ma Chengfeng's face changed slightly, and he came to his senses:

"Yes, if we talk about qualifications, who on the entire ship is more qualified than him?"

Gu Luowen picked up his fingers and counted them: "Yeah, think about it, first of all, he is the historic first in the whole ship rookie competition, with the highest points, unprecedented."

"Secondly, his fighting skills are also considered by many fighting masters to be truly perfect and impeccable."

"Then, he was the one who rose the fastest in the history of the special class. Two months into the class, he jumped from over 50 to the current 6th place. He was even considered to have been the number one in his class for a long time, but he just didn't challenge for it."

"Also, his team doesn't have many experts, and there are two people who are in the bottom 50. However, he always ranks first in the exploration of ruins, and is the best in providing intelligence clues!"

"I heard that they made 700 to 800 million star coins just from intelligence fees. This is basically equal to our family's net profit for three years. Don't you think it's terrifying?"

"It's only been a month. Of course, it's undeniable that this is due to the special nature of the ancient ruins, but I feel that I am far inferior to anyone who can achieve this level."

At this point, Ma Chengfeng suddenly interrupted and said, "Wait!"

"Aren't you a high-ranking family? How come your net profit is only 200 million per year?"

"Hey, brother, two hundred million is pretty good, don't take money lightly."

Gu Luowen shook his head and said:

"Our family is large and has a lot of fixed expenses. The cost of various resource expenditures is also very high every year."

Ma Chengfeng nodded and said, "That's right. With so many reserve mecha masters to train, the pressure is a bit high. So, how do you know so much about Li Yi's deeds?"

Gu Luowen said:

"It's not just me who cares. Look at Lin Susu and Zhou Huize. They both pretend to be dismissive, but actually they prick up their ears and listen quietly when others talk about it."

"What does it mean to prick up your ears and listen quietly?"

At this moment, Zhou Huo walked over and said with a smile.

Gu Luowen laughed awkwardly and said:

"I mean Lin Susu. Even though this girl usually looks very aloof, she actually wants to hear news about Li Yi from Class 3 next door every day!"

"Guluowen, what's wrong with me?"

Everyone turned around and saw a graceful figure standing there silently.

On her cold and beautiful face, her eyebrows were slightly raised.

I only heard her say lightly:

"Let me make it clear first. Our group's goal has never been others, but the ruins themselves. I hope you won't be distracted by other things and assume that you are inferior to others. If we really have to lose, I hope it will be after the real competition is over, not before."

Gu Luowen knew that Lin Susu was inexplicably serious, so he quickly raised his hands in surrender and said:

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have destroyed our own morale and encouraged others. I accept the punishment. Is that okay?"

"Punish? I don't have the right to do that."

After saying that, Lin Susu glanced at a few people, turned around and left.

The remaining few people looked at each other.

Zhou Huo spread his hands and said, "Well, judging from her expression, she must have been stimulated and went back to practice more. Let's go too."

"Irritation? With her personality, will she be irritated by Gu Luowen's words?"

"Compared to the weightless words, the facts that cannot be changed are definitely more important..."

Zhou Huze also shook his head and left, leaving behind a sentence that was difficult to express:

"Who would have thought that Li Yi, who has always been ahead of our group, has only condensed four divine genes? There are five people in our group who have condensed more than eight."

Gu Luowen and Ma Chengfeng were left looking at each other.

Is Zhou Huozhe's sense of crisis already so strong? ...

Lunch time.

Everyone discussed some of the scenes they saw in the last minute or two.

Pharmacist Wan said, "When I entered the fifth level, I used the long-range detection system to scan the surroundings and found the remains of a divine mecha. Because I caught a glimpse of it and the slime creatures arrived quickly, I couldn't be sure if it was it, but I think it's a clue worth paying attention to."

Li Yi asked: "Taking the exit of the fifth level as the origin, how many meters away and in what direction is it?"

The pharmacist said gently, "If I remember correctly, it should be 3.4 kilometers away, and the direction is 2 o'clock and 3 minutes."

Li Yi recalled the memory of the glance at that time and said: "Did you see a huge black body?"

Pharmacist Wan nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I checked. Except for the color, all other details do not match the divine mecha of the advance team."

"For example, the only black mecha in the advance team is the Ice God sequence, a D-class Black Viper mecha, whose outer armor is horny armor and the inner layer is scale armor."

"And the body at that time was a typical divine alloy armor."

Cai Xiaodong complimented her at the right time: "You are indeed worthy of me. You remembered so many details with just a quick glance."

Li Yi smiled and said:

"It's simply that everyone's mentality is not mature enough and they are not calm enough when facing a powerful opponent. With Yao Shiwan's mind, it is easy to remember these details under normal circumstances. After getting used to it a few more times, she will be able to do it soon."

“It’s easier said than done.”

Tan Haoran shrugged and said, "I also found a piece of debris five kilometers away, at the 10 o'clock position. It should be the right foot, but after listening to Li Yi's analysis, it is probably not from the advance team."

Sun Duxiu crossed his arms and fell into deep thought: "What's strange is, to which side does this mysterious divine mecha belong?"

Li Yi said:

"The guard mecha inside the ruins was probably taken down by the slime creatures."

Cai Xiaodong asked quickly:

"What do you mean? Li Yi, what did you see?"

Li Yi pondered and said, "I guess the slime creatures may have been transformed by the gourd civilization and may have escaped the control of the ruins. Therefore, they attacked the guarding mechas. Perhaps it was this super-strong accident that wiped out the advance team."

"Of course, I don't have any evidence yet, so this is just speculation. Next time, let's try to hold out for a little longer, look for evidence, and confirm the cause of death. It would be best if we could get the divine weapon before entering the ruins."

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Xuqiang said: "Indeed, if we get the divine weapons in advance, we may have more ways to save our lives when we go down there."

Cai Xiaodong pondered, "Come to think of it, the advance team also brought divine weapons with them. They have divine weapons, and they are all mid-level evolvers. With this configuration, do you think they can't do anything to the slime creatures?"

Yaoshi Wan's heart was also slightly moved, and she said:

"Li Yi, you have the best understanding of the battle situation. What do you think of the advance team's strength and their real chances of winning against these four slime creatures?"

Li Yi shook his head and said:

"Slime creatures are the type that become stronger when faced with stronger opponents. I believe you have experienced this. Their own attack patterns are not complicated, but they are very difficult to deal with, and their defense level is very high."

"If they don't encounter opponents who specialize in cutting divine skills or mecha skills, they are almost invincible."

"Perhaps, the Gourd Man also took a fancy to this characteristic of the slime creatures, so he made great efforts to transform the slime creatures and make them escape from the control of the ruins. Then, due to the failure of the operation, he was attacked by the slime creatures and had to flee urgently."

"Of course, the above sentence is all my guess. There is not enough evidence at the moment. Maybe after the chip and the experimental notes are cracked, we can get more information."

Although Li Yi said that the evidence was insufficient, in everyone's mind, this statement was reliable enough.

At least, this is consistent with what they have observed along the way and can explain some of the mysteries.

Therefore, Zheng Xueyuan couldn't help but say: "Brother Yi, your guess just now sounds perfect. I don't see any obvious loopholes."

Everyone nodded.

"No, in fact, there are still a few phenomena that cannot be explained for the time being."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "For example, where did the Gourd Civilization enter and leave? At least, I didn't find any traces of Gourd People at the entrance and exit of the fifth level."

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

Everyone suddenly realized that, yes, according to the built-in logic of the ruins, the lower the level, the slower the change of matter.

Therefore, any trace of the gourd man walking on the ground should be discovered by Li Yi.

Cai Xiaodong's eyes lit up, and he thought of a possibility: "Could it be that the gourd man was born to be able to fly?"

Pharmacist Wan retorted: "Then you need to rest on the ground, right? Didn't you see that there are a few things on the first floor of the laboratory that are obviously like seats?"

Li Yi said:

"It's probably some kind of vehicle, but I'm more inclined to believe it's the Calabash Man. He might still be somewhere else in the ruins, or he met with disaster somewhere and failed to leave."

Cai Xiaodong couldn't help scratching his head, finding it hard to understand Li Yi's train of thought, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Yi said:

"Because I didn't see any traces of vehicle-like objects left in the laboratory."

"From the various traces that we can see so far, the height of the gourd man is about 2.1 meters, and like us, he has two hands and two feet, with slender fingers and thick thighs. The size of his torso and face is currently uncertain. But like us, he should also have body hair."

"He is very heavy, at least equivalent to the weight of five Cai Xiaodongs. It is unlikely that he can fly by himself. Unless he has some divine items to rely on."

"Based on this, unless the gourd man's vehicle can be freely expanded or contracted, it is indeed a mystery why he disappeared or left out of thin air."

Everyone was a little confused after hearing what he said, and they were also a little amazed.

Sure enough, the details still depend on Li Yi.

Tan Haoran asked, "Li Yi, how did you determine the height and thickness of the gourd man's hands and feet? I can roughly understand the weight, but the height... I didn't seem to see any traces related to height at the time?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "It's very simple. There is a very subtle mark of head impact at the right entrance of the first floor. I won't talk about the footprints, you should have seen them too. The key is the handprints. There are a lot of them on the culture tubes, but they are very subtle. You can't see them if you don't pay attention."

Zheng Xueyuan suddenly realized, "I understand. Because it's so smooth, the mark is very shallow, but Brother Yi has amazing insight, so he must be able to find traces that we can't see."

Tan Haoran said with emotion: "I just didn't expect that Li Yi could find such subtle things even though he was out of the divine mecha's information collection system."

"This is the retinal effect. The more you pay attention, the more you can see things that others can't see."

Li Yi said:

"In fact, there were other suspicious points at the scene. I will sort them out and post them to the group later. If you remember anything, you can also tell me."

Cai Xiaodong was surprised and said, "There are still doubts. I give up. It seems that I am really an ape man."

Everyone laughed.

As they were talking, several people finished their meal.

The pharmacist said gently: "Li Yi, your combat merits are estimated to be able to upgrade to level three authority. Remember to find AI Xiaoshe and ask her to help process your upgrade request."

Li Yi nodded and said, "That reminds me. I'll do this when I get home tonight."

Yaoshi Wan took the opportunity to say, "Li Yi, after you level up, why don't we go to the War Merit Library tonight to see if we can exchange for any goodies."

Li Yi nodded: "Okay, if you have nothing else to do tonight, let's go to the War Merit Library together."

Cai Xiaodong said in a low voice: "Li Yi, the pharmacist is being tactful to you, not to all of us."

Pharmacist Wan blushed and shouted, "Cai Xiaodong, if you keep talking, I'll cut your tongue off with a knife next time."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Let's all come together. I also have an idea that I need to communicate with everyone."

…

After the evening training ended, Chen Qiongzhi called Li Yi.

"Don't leave yet, wait a few minutes and I'll ask you a few questions."

After everyone else left and there was no one else in the training hall, Chen Qiongzhi spoke:

"How is Mr. Zhao Guozi doing when answering your questions recently?"

Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's no different from usual. I took some time out at noon to send him a message saying that I had successfully dismantled the divine light bomb during the virtual ruins exploration. He just replied calmly, "Not bad," and that was it."

Chen Qiongzhi was surprised and said, "That's all? The fact that the divine light bullet was cracked is so big, and he has no other reaction?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, he has stopped responding to my technical questions within half an hour. If it's just a polite thank you, he won't respond at all."

Chen Qiongzhi sighed, then smiled:

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to accompany him to relieve his boredom during this period of time."

"It should be. After all, I have learned a lot of useful things from Teacher Zhao Guozi, which has been a great help."

There was silence for two or three seconds, and then Chen Qiongzhi took the initiative to speak:

"How about practicing a few moves today?"

Li Yi was originally thinking that he would meet up with a few friends later.

But at this moment, seeing the eager expression in Chen Qiongzhi's eyes, he smiled and said, "That's what I want!"

…

An hour later.

Li Yilong left the training hall in high spirits.

Although he was physically tired, his physical condition quickly recovered after the fierce battle.

Therefore, when the team members who had been waiting at the dormitory door for a long time saw Li Yi's energetic look, they suddenly became curious.

"The instructor gave you some special treatment again?"

Cai Xiaodong said enviously.

"Jealousy is tearing me apart."

Sun Duxiu looked at Li Yi's approaching steps, his eyes blazing with anger:

"I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to have become stronger."

Li Yi smiled and said, "I just got a lecture from the instructor and experienced the joy of high-intensity combat."

"If I believe you, there will be ghosts."

Pharmacist Wanze said thoughtfully: "Li Yi, you seem to be often kept back by the instructor."

Cai Xiaodong said with a smile: "Of course, Li Yi is handsome and has good kung fu. Which instructor wouldn't be confused when seeing him?"

As he spoke, Li Yi had already quickly entered the dormitory and called out to Ai Xiaoshe.

"AI Xiaoshe, I need to upgrade my authority now. Please check whether my current combat merits have reached the cumulative standard."

Ai Xiaoshe was called out and answered:

"Level 2 authority official mecha master Li Yi, according to your request, I have verified your combat merits. The total is currently 2,000, which meets the upgrade standard of 2,000 combat merits."

"Now let's examine your past and relevant resume."

"Passed the inspection, no bad record, excellent performance, the recommendation score of the Mecha Corps is full marks, we can process your upgrade immediately, please wait."

"Your authority level has been updated. Your military achievements, star coins, all resumes, combat records, and superior evaluations have been updated to a level 3 authority account."

"Thank you for your useful contribution to the Star Guard Federation and for your outstanding performance in the Deep Space Fleet."

"Would you like to check or report the corresponding permissions you have added?"

Li Yi said: "Report."

"Okay, I'll report it to you now."

"One, you have been granted access to areas 2, 3, and 4 of cabin 12."

"Second, you have been granted access to Areas 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Cabin 11."

"Third, you have added a free quota for the public divinity of cabin No. 9, and the total duration per week can be increased to 3 hours."

"Fourth, you have been granted emergency temporary command authority during wartime. When there is no one with the highest authority in the area, you can obtain the maximum system authority support."

"Fifth, you have been granted a discount for exchanging items in the War Merit Library. You can enjoy a 70% to 90% discount, depending on the item."

"Sixth, you have been given 3 free portions of high-energy alien meat, and 20 portions that can be purchased."

"The above are all the newly added permissions. I have finished reporting them to you."

The whole process took no more than 3 minutes.

At this moment, Li Yi has become the only person with level three authority in the special class.

When Ai Xiaoshe left, everyone also walked over from a distance.

"How about it? Is there a discount for increasing the war merit library?"

The pharmacist asked with a smile.

Li Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Indeed, it is quite powerful."

It also aroused the envy of everyone.

Fortunately, everyone had envied Li Yi's treatment many times, and this time the excitement quickly got over, and they even felt it was nothing special.

Oh, level three clearance.

Although it is amazing, it does not feel concrete yet.

Li Yi was also very satisfied with the people's increasingly numb performance. He would not be able to stand it if they were startled every day.

At that moment, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the War Merit Library to exchange items."

The eight people then went out in a mighty manner.

"Speaking of which, what should we exchange?"

Halfway through the journey, Tan Haoran said.

Cai Xiaodong said proudly:

"Hey, I've already made a strategy in advance. Tan Haoran, with your 200 combat merits, I suggest you exchange them for a Vulcan Sequence Divine Core, the incomplete version. This thing is very suitable for you."

Tan Haoran was shocked:

"What? The Merit Bank can be exchanged for divine cores? And it's only 200 Merits. Are you kidding me?"

Not to mention Tan Haoran, everyone else was also surprised.

Two hundred battles to get this thing? Are you serious? Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Cai Xiaodong couldn't help but take a step back and said:

"Incomplete version, didn't you hear the word? If it's a complete version, you may not be able to get it even if you earn 10,000 war merits."

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

"However, even if it's a defective version, it's still worth the money. But is this thing really still in stock?"

Tan Haoran asked quickly: "Cai Xiaodong, tell me quickly, what is the situation with the incomplete version of the divine nucleus?"
