Chapter 134 Another Way Out
It was a very shocking thing that four Jindans broke through the tribulation at the same time. The heat of this time lasted even longer than the last time the vampires made a big fuss.
Even after all the students had left quarantine, the enthusiasm for discussion had not diminished.
Whenever Gu Jiayan and his friends walked in the academy, they would meet enthusiastic fans with blushing faces who would run up to them and ask for their autographs.
This is actually nothing, but what is excessive is that they not only ask for it for themselves, but also for their relatives, friends and other people. Every time when signing, there were only a few people, but in the end more and more people signed.
After experiencing this kind of life for a few days, several people in the elite class have been reluctant to go out recently and stay in their own area every day.
Anyway, they usually study in the special area, so there is not much difference. Only occasionally some classes require going to the public area.
However, since everyone has made some breakthroughs, my recent course schedule is not full and I am basically doing my own things.
What is needed to achieve a new realm and strength is a comprehensive understanding, rather than rushing to learn new things.
In addition, the banquet is about to be held, so these students can be said to have a short vacation.
"Hey? Jimeng, are you back after your work?" When passing by the public rest area of the dormitory building, Chu Yi glanced inadvertently and saw Liu Jimeng who was resting inside.
She stopped walking out, turned around and walked towards Liu Jimeng.
She remembered that Liu Jimeng received a message from the teacher in the logistics department early this morning and went to help, right? Is it done already?
"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just that the teachers couldn't handle it, so they called me." Liu Jimeng sat on the sofa and looked back, with a warm smile on his face.
These girls lived together day and night, and their feelings for each other had become very strong.
Although everyone has different personalities, they get along very well and there are basically no conflicts. After the initial adjustment, they can call each other besties.
Due to their experience, personality and age, she and Jia Lan are more mature. They usually play the role of the older sisters and are more doting on their three younger sisters.
"How are the preparations going now?" Chu Yi came to Liu Jimeng and sat down on the sofa opposite her. "I don't think there have been any major changes."
When they discussed the plan with Principal Ye a few days ago, they designed a lot of decorations. The logistics department has been busy for so long, why does it seem like there haven't been many changes?
Turning back, Liu Jimeng said with a bit of amusement: "Why are you in such a hurry? There's still some time before the banquet starts. Why are you putting it out so early?"
After that, she didn't wait for Chu Yi to react, and directly handed her a small red fruit with a mysterious smile, "Do you want to try it?"
Chu Yi took it and looked at the small red fruit curiously.
When did this new type of spiritual fruit come into being?
"Is this for the banquet?"
Liu Jimeng had never taken out this kind of fruit before, so he could only get it from the logistics department after going to help. The most common items in the logistics department are banquet ingredients, which are what they specially prepared for this celebratory dinner.
I just don’t know what good stuff it is.
She looked up at Liu Jimeng, but got no answer from him. He shrugged and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Whatever it is, just try it and you'll know.
The fruit was very small, and Chu Yi didn't even need to divide it into two bites. He just threw it into his mouth and ate it in one bite.
"Hmm, it's delicious." The first bite tasted very good, better than any fruit I had ever eaten before.
But other than that, nothing more.
Now that spiritual energy has revived, bathed in the rich spiritual energy, all kinds of plants have evolved into spiritual plants. Maybe it's not very effective, but it tastes absolutely great.
So if it's just the taste, there's actually nothing to praise.
Feeling that Liu Jimeng would not take out such an ordinary thing, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel it carefully.
However, she examined it for a long time before she felt a very weak increase in spiritual energy in her body.
"......"
It's so weak, maybe it's the result of failure?
As soon as Liu Jimeng saw Chu Yi's expression, she knew what he was thinking, and then she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"It's not a defective product. Xiaoyi, don't forget that there are not only us monks at the banquet, but also many ordinary people in the business and political circles. They can't afford real spiritual fruits."
After she said this, Chu Yi changed his mind. She suddenly realized: "So this is a 'surprise' that the logistics department prepared specifically for those big guys?"
She said that if such weak spiritual energy was given to ordinary students who were just starting out, they probably wouldn't even bother to take it.
It's really worse than chicken ribs.
But even if it is prepared for ordinary people, isn’t this amount of spiritual energy a bit too little?
Or is there any other explanation?
Blinking her eyes, Chu Yi hoped that Liu Jimeng could help her solve her doubts.
Seeing that she really hadn't figured out the key, Liu Jimeng had to patiently explain: "If I tell you its name, you'll probably understand it."
name?
"What's the name?"
Now Chu Yi became even more curious, and couldn't help but have a series of guesses in his mind. What kind of name would allow her to understand its purpose as soon as she heard it?
The red...fruit...has spiritual power...and has a great effect on ordinary people...
"Red Fruit??"
"Red fruit."
"Puchi~ It really is Zhu Guo." Seeing the two people say the name of Zhu Guo in unison, Chu Yi couldn't help but laughed.
It looks so small, possesses spiritual power, and is red in color. The only thing that can make people think of its function is this legendary fruit that was once popular among a generation.
Whether in this world or in Chu Yi's previous life, martial arts novels have been popular for a long time.
It is an unforgettable memory that cannot be erased from the hearts of an entire generation.
Those magical plants that authors wrote into the novels based on historical legends were once the most desired things for many teenagers.
When Chu Yi was a child in his previous life, he made a wish to meet an elder on his birthday. After that, he made many wishes such as wanting to obtain the red fruit and the ultimate martial arts.
When she was in elementary school, the kids in her class were crazy about martial arts for a while.
As a classic item, the Red Fruit is truly an indelible red in their memories.
As long as one eats a red fruit, one can increase his martial arts skills by 60 years and be promoted directly from a rookie to a great hero.
Then he married a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman and reached the peak of his life.
"How come the people in the logistics department thought of researching this?" After guessing the name, Chu Yi became more curious.
Hasn’t the Logistics Department been researching the spiritual plants used by monks? How can I change my career to study this Zhu Fruit?
"They have a department set aside to research things that can be used by ordinary people."
This was something Liu Jimeng only found out after she went to help out in the logistics department. She used to think that the logistics department of Xunzhen Academy was there to serve the monks.
I didn't expect that the Logistics Department just had a simple name, and its members are all from prominent backgrounds.
Just this morning, Liu Jimeng took a walk inside and found that everyone coming and going was a big shot.
There is a team from the Central Academy of Science and Technology that has developed a product that inhibits the spread of cancer cells, a team of experts who have conquered world-class genetic diseases, and experts from various professions who have published countless academic papers and have been invited by foreign scientific research organizations.
Any one of the achievements of these big guys would be enough to shock the academic world.
Now they have all gathered in the logistics department of their college, and he has become an unknown logistics teacher.
Although their work has not changed and they are still studying various species, their reputation is still not as loud as before.
Liu Jimeng patiently introduced all this to Chu Yi, causing her to exclaim in amazement.
This was not something Chu Yi was pretending, she really didn't expect it to turn out like this.
I still remember that when the college was first established, the Logistics Department was indeed staffed by some ordinary people who were only responsible for handling the daily affairs of the college.
Things like the distribution of learning materials to students, school hygiene, and even purchasing and cooking for the cafeteria are all ordinary tasks.
I have never been involved in such advanced business.
Later, as everyone's progress improved and they began to learn alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, etc., the Logistics Department slightly changed its composition and added some professional personnel.
Then Chu Yi always thought that they simply found some graduate students, doctoral students and so on. I never expected that the country would directly bring in all these experts and professors.
"With this configuration, can all the bigwigs in the country be caught in one fell swoop?" She was a little amazed.
Although the conditions at Xunzhen College are very good, the country does not really need it.
Liu Jimeng was also surprised when he first learned about it, but later he calmed down. "They are already the objects of national key protection, and now the Earth Blue Star has become extremely dangerous. Where else can be safer than our academy?"
"That's true."
Chu Yi did not look down on ordinary people. The role these experts and professors could play was no less than that of the monks. They are the key to the development of flower-growing technology and cannot suffer any loss.
It's really nice to be all in the academy.
The rich spiritual energy here can not only help them regulate their bodies and prolong their lifespans, but also slowly restore their energy and physical fitness, allowing these old gentlemen to regain the thoughts of their youth.
"So the effect of this Vermillion Fruit is the same as the legend?" If it simply increases the spiritual power in the body, this research would be meaningless.
In a spiritual society, the thing that is least lacking is spiritual energy. That little amount is no better than taking a few more breaths of the spiritual energy in the air.
"Yes." Liu Jimeng nodded and took out something from his storage ring again.
As she spoke, she handed it to Chu Yi, "The red fruit is useless to cultivators because the spiritual power in cultivators is more advanced. But if ordinary people eat it, it can directly increase their strength by a decade, just like in martial arts novels."
Chu Yi took the thing in his hand and observed it, and found that it was a small seedling. "Hey~ Are you going to follow the martial arts route from now on?"
She sent out her spiritual power to feel it, and soon she figured out the identity of the plant. "You also took a sample from the logistics department?"
What can those scientists who regard samples as life do?
You know, Brother Yan once lost a small experimental sample in his laboratory, and he was so angry that he called her in the middle of the night to complain.
From that moment on, Chu Yi understood the importance of experimental samples to these researchers.
Now Liu Jimeng not only took the fruit, but also directly plucked a sample plant. Is that okay?
"Of course no problem." Liu Jimeng shrugged, indicating that Chu Yi's worries were unnecessary.
"This was forced upon me by the logistics department, saying they were thanking me for my help. And they seemed to have asked Teacher Peng Zishi for help before, using magic to directly produce hundreds of acres of red fruit seedlings, so both the production of red fruit and the reserve of red fruit seedlings are sufficient."
“Hundreds of acres?” When did this happen?
Chu Yi suddenly felt that this world was very strange. Many things were happening when she was not paying attention.
But it actually feels pretty good.
The feeling of having everything under control is actually quite boring, because you know and understand everything, so it is difficult to feel surprised. Just like when she was eating melon with her friends, she pretended to be surprised and shocked on the surface, but in fact she knew everything behind the scenes.
It’s not that there’s a problem, it’s just that life is less interesting.
Now she suddenly realized that there were many surprises in the world today, but she had paid too little attention to them.
Realizing his own inadvertent arrogance, Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh and shake his head in his heart.
I thought I could stick to my original intention and not waver, but it turned out that I was still arrogant and complacent. The usual warnings were just superficial and I didn't really take them to heart.
After she figured it out, she suddenly felt as if everything in front of her eyes became clear, and the whole world became more wonderful.
Um?
The perception of the cultivators was very sharp, and Liu Jimeng, who was sitting opposite her, immediately noticed the change in Chu Yi. If Chu Yi had the ethereal aura of a genuine cultivator before, now she seemed to have returned to the identity of a mortal.
This doesn't feel like a step backward, but more like a return to basics, finding one's true self.
Her state of mind must have been greatly improved.
Without asking Chu Yi what she had figured out, Liu Jimeng just gave her a smile full of blessings and congratulated her on overcoming the obstacles.
The two beautiful girls smiled at each other and continued their previous topic tacitly.
"According to the people in the logistics department, the Red Fruit Project was a long time ago. Now, several batches of mature Red Fruit have been successfully harvested and can be supplied to the army."
"Supply to the military." This is indeed a decision that a country would make, but "Is the output so high? The number of our military is still considerable, right?"
"It's definitely not enough in total." It is still impossible to gather the entire country's army's share in such a short time. Unless the people in the logistics department ask Teacher Peng to help a few more times, but how is that possible?
"They asked Teacher Peng to set up a birth-inducing formation in the experimental field. With the addition of the spiritual spring water and spiritual soil from Mount Tai, the output was barely enough for the military forces in several key cities."
"Other local troops will have to wait at least a few rounds."
"Then this progress is pretty good. The effect of the Vermillion Fruit is average, and the requirements for growth are not very high. With the blessing of the formation and the excellent environment, it will surely be available on the market soon."
The red fruit is of little use to cultivators, but it is a blessing to ordinary people.
Nowadays, when there are more and more ways to acquire abilities, there are still many people who cannot keep up with the pace of the times in any way.
How could they be willing to watch others leave them behind and become the remnants of the era?
Since the revival of spiritual energy, the masterminds or victims of a large number of flower-growing cases are these people.
Because they are unwilling to give up and want to give it a try to create a future for themselves, they often do extremely irrational things.
A lot of people above are worried about them every day.
We can't just kill the person, so in the end we have no choice but to find a way to solve this problem.
I think Zhu Guo’s research should have started not long after the college was built.
Otherwise their progress wouldn't be so fast.
Holding the green onion seedlings, Chu Yi suddenly came up with a good idea.
After turning the idea over in her mind for a few times, she felt that it was a brilliant idea, so she simply said to Liu Jimeng: "Jimeng, can you give me this seedling?"
In fact, she could definitely get it by going to the logistics department, but she was too lazy to run and wanted to get something ready-made.
"Take it. It's originally meant for you. Qianwen, Xiaofan, and Sister Lan all have them. This one is yours." Liu Jimeng gestured for her to take it. For them, the cultivators, the only effect of growing this red fruit is that it looks good.
"I also took some from Ajiang and his family. I'll give them to them when I meet them later. It's good to grow this stuff and give it to family members."
This is also the real reason why Liu Jimeng asked the Logistics Department for it.
They themselves are gifted, but their families are not.
At first, I thought about getting some resources from the elite class and giving them to my family, but after in-depth study, I realized how difficult it is to improve the physical condition of an ordinary person with no talent.
The ordinary elixirs they can afford have no effect on their lifespan. However, the panacea that can improve physical fitness and talents and increase lifespan is something they cannot obtain in a short period of time.
Therefore, anyone who successfully enters the cultivation academy and begins to study will always have a sense of anxiety in his heart.
Everyone wants to improve faster and faster, hoping to get something that can change the fate of their loved ones during their lifetime.
Although this Zhu Fruit cannot directly change talents, it can turn ordinary people into martial arts masters and increase lifespan by at least several decades. It is already a rare treasure.
I believe that once this news gets out, there will be another shock both at home and abroad.
Since Liu Jimeng brought them for everyone, Chu Yi was no longer polite and directly put the seedlings back into the system, preparing to go back in the evening to produce a batch of fruits.
After talking about this, she and Liu Jimeng sat in the lounge and chatted about other topics.
Finally, seeing that the time was about the same, the two of them went their separate ways.
Chu Yi first went to Peng Zishi to ask for some spiritual liquid to be used as culture medium. Then he went outside the universe to learn about the latest situation from the two mechanical life forms that had been staying there.
After speculating that the speed of universe fusion was getting faster and faster last time, Chu Yi exchanged for a technology-related vest - Anasta.
Unlike the mechanical girl Julia that Chu Yi exchanged at the beginning, this is a genderless mechanical life form, a real mechanical life, not an artificial intelligence.
Anasta was once the supreme controller of a lost mechanical civilization. She was in charge of the development of that civilization and was the key to that mechanical civilization's dominance in the universe.
In the end, the entire civilization wanted to make further progress, but failed at the most critical moment, leading to the demise of the entire civilization.
Ah, of course these are just settings and have nothing to do with reality.
However, Chu Yi has an idea to turn falsehood into reality.
The vests on the technology side cannot be presented to the Blue Star people at will. Even if they want to help, they can only hide behind the scenes, which is really troublesome.
It is also a waste of resources.
That’s all a story for the future. Right now, the technological side of the business is still used to help Blue Star overcome its initial difficulties, so we don’t have the time to be distracted by developing new races.
Entering Astana's own space battleship, Chu Yi found two mechanical beauties carefully reviewing the data in front of the virtual screen.
She walked over to both of them and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Astana took back the data cable used for transmission and turned to face Chu Yi. Although she is a mechanical life form, she looks no different from a human. The smile on her face and the emotions in her eyes don't seem to be generated by 0 and 1 at all.
"Everything is within our predictions. The two universes will merge in 92 years. By the 50th year, our concealment will gradually become ineffective, and the chances of being exposed will increase."
"Hiss..." Chu Yi frowned in distress, feeling very annoyed at the moment.
50 years is really too short a time, not enough for Blue Planet to develop to any significant extent. In other words, her aliases can hold on for a while, but it is still not enough to face a brand new cosmic civilization.
If Blue Star wants to develop peacefully and occupy a place in the new universe, when the two universes actually collide, it must launch a thundering attack to directly shock all the opposing forces so that they cannot even think of becoming enemies with Blue Star within a short period of time.
Any civilization that develops to the intermediate level is extremely greedy.
Once they discover that a new civilization not only possesses incredible power but is also weak and vulnerable, these hyenas will definitely pounce on it like crazy to hunt it.
Then it will never let go until it has eaten everything away.
Although they on Blue Star are not without the power to resist, once a war is launched, their development will be ruined.
Chu Yi didn't want the results of his hard work to go to waste.
"Don't worry, we are always by your side." Astana gently stroked Chu Yi's long hair, her eyes full of encouragement and comfort, "The unknown enemy is very scary, but now we are in the dark and they are in the light. They have never come into contact with a cultivation civilization like Blue Star, so our chances of winning are very high."
Julia, who doesn't like to communicate with others, was also there to encourage Chu Yi.
She is never alone. Countless vests will always stand behind her and become her strength to overcome everything.
Encouraged and touched, Chu Yi rubbed Astana's cold mechanical hand affectionately, and endless courage arose in his heart. "Well, let's discuss their intelligence."
"I heard from you before that you have collected information about the civilization closest to us?"
"Yes, the barriers of the universe can no longer block my reach. After this period of decryption, Julia and I have acquired enough information."
"Then tell me about it!"
