I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 390 - 292: A Full 100 Spirit Crystals! _2

Once they thought of Pangu Continent, where treasures were scattered everywhere, humans became somewhat impatient.

However, the thought of that vigilant demon made their teeth itch with hatred.

Now, they needed to reassess the value of this compatriot.

"Professor Zhang, you all knew already, didn’t you? Does the Pathfinding plan need to be restarted?"

Zhang Hui of Yunhai City quickly denied any connection, "How could that be possible? We don’t even have a means of contact."

"Friends, at this moment, witnessing the true Sky City fills my heart with immense shock and a sense of tension rises within me."

"We must hasten our pace, figure out a way to leave the Safe Zone, defeat the anomalies, and build our own floating city."

His tone was so righteously indignant that he almost fooled himself.

Other cities could only sulk in silence, no longer speaking.

Zhang Hui let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it had been only ten days since they last contacted Lu Yuan—okay, it had been almost a thousand days outside the Safe Zone, and indeed, many stories had happened.

"Lord Leon, what’s the deal with those Ratmen? Why does it seem like they are fighting? Is it a martial exchange or a war?"

"Unfortunately, I don’t know."

"Oh? It looks like the fight is over."

The image was too blurry, whether it was the Rize people or humans, nobody could figure out what was happening amid the Yellow Sand.

But that group of onlooking Ratmen was quickly dispersing at an extremely fast speed.

...

Privately, the human cities were also bustling with activity.

…

In Yunhai City, in the Supernatural Laboratory, young people were excitedly discussing something.

"They’ve reached the territory of the Rize Civilization. Professor Zhang, we can send the design drawings of technological items through the Communicator!"

"Um… when the time comes we’ll send it directly to him, no need to bother in the Wutong Dream," Zhang Hui stroked his chin, "The Communicator can even send some supernatural powers."

"Everyone, think, what can we do?"

The laboratory suddenly became bustling.

Telepathy?

Sending "Shape Skill" and "Qi Skill"?

Yunhai City had ten million people and naturally, many were Superpower users; thus, the practitioners of "Shape Skill" and "Qi Skill" were particularly numerous.

They had… quite comprehensive data on this aspect!

Although "Shape Skill" and "Qi Skill" couldn’t compare to Divine Skill, they were nonetheless skills to have by one’s side, with some value.

Especially, some rarer "Observation Ability" and "Spiritual Power" were even more valuable.

…

As Yunhai City was eagerly discussing, it was a mix of joy and sorrow for others.

Human 11th Branch, East Gold City’s conference room, fell silent.

The appearance of Sky City, Lu Yuan’s emergence, in fact, caused no harm to the interests of all humanity.

But it was apparent… it would strengthen Yunhai City.

Some confidential data, they couldn’t get their hands on!

With Yunhai City growing stronger, they felt threatened.

They watched the flying city on the screen, observing it repeatedly.

"They’ll soon be annihilated by the Ratmen," many thought darkly, yet dared not verbalize it.

What was even more heart-wrenching, Yunhai City already had Level Three champions, while other cities also had Level Two champions.

They… had nothing.

"Gentlemen, not to worry! As long as we all cancel the Safe Zone, we can reclaim the lost fifty years."

...

"Why was the Pathfinding plan terminated?" the highest leader of Ninth Branch Zero Wave City, Digdit, asked a scientist.

The expert hurriedly explained, "As time passes, the rate at which the external monsters grow stronger is much faster than us humans."

"There was once a Dream Ability User who encountered trouble in a dream."

"Furthermore, the likelihood of finding it was so low that the pathfinding plan was terminated midway."

Digdit sighed. Now, trying to contact Lu Yuan seemed meaningless, for building friendships wasn’t a matter of one day.

Fortunately, Human 18th Civilization, situated at the end of the world, shouldn’t interfere with his plans.

He had already controlled the leaders of several cities using his "Control" ability.

Controlling everyone was unrealistic, but by controlling a few, the plan to eliminate the "Demons" could steadily progress.

However, some cities were more cautious. The communicators’ supernatural transmission functions were not activated, Yunhai City included.

Digdit furrowed his brows, pondering the variables.

...

...

...

After a victorious battle, Lu Yuan received an invitation from the Shu Mi Dam Civilization to discuss major trade issues.

And he received rewards from the "Fake Match."

The so-called one hundred Spirit Essences were actually one hundred low-quality Spirit Crystals!

Shiny stones about the size of glass beads were bagged in a small sack, jingling merrily.

It seemed that these were the standard currency of the Eighth Epoch.

"Human is an excellent race, which has earned the sincere friendship of our Shu Mi Dam Civilization. We welcome you to visit!" the Mouse King said in yellow robes, with a pained expression as he handed over the bag of Spirit Crystals to Lu Yuan.

Having won a resounding victory, the attitude of the other side improved immediately.

Lu Yuan was quite enthusiastic about this, as the civilization of the Eighth Epoch’s Alien was rare.

"We will surely gather a lot of information."

Lu Yuan made polite conversation at first, then changed the topic, "We’ll first go back to treat our wounded and tidy up the city, and then come back after a while."

He needed to understand the true value of one Spirit Essence!

If he didn’t even understand the exchange rate, he might end up inadvertently counting money for others!

"Ha ha... please come this way. Mr. Jin Dongliang, you are very brave, and we have excellent medicine for wounds."

"But, could we have our captured brother returned to us?"

Now that the other party was so cooperative, the humans had no choice but to return the captured "Blue Silk Rat" without making any unreasonable demands.

Next, Lu Yuan rode the "Flying Dragon" creature and took his people back to Sky City for a visit.

He settled Jin Dongliang, who was injured, and then praised the grand feats of the Undying Giant Turtle.

"Ah, it’s tough being out and about, always facing all sorts of unforeseen circumstances."

Jin Dongliang laughed, "Serving the country in battle is a matter of glory; what’s there to be tired about?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback.

Yes, this wasn’t just his civilization alone; it was normal for everyone to contribute.

"Mr. Jin, take good care of your recovery."

He then gathered a small group of elite scientists.

As the saying goes, "No acquaintance without a fight," Lu Yuan felt that the likelihood of conflict with the "Shu Mi Dam Civilization" wasn’t very high, so there was no need to deploy many soldiers. Calling a group of scientists for an exchange might yield better results.

"These low-quality Spirit Crystals were all won by us."

"Can you research how much energy they contain and whether we can manufacture them?"

"So many!" the scientists were stunned, a bag full of a whole hundred pieces!

Even though they were all "low-quality level," they were still more numerous than the entire Mandala Empire combined.

"Hmm, these must have been artificially created; otherwise, this Ideal Energy wouldn’t be split so evenly."

The Green Grass Civilization also had methods to create Spirit Crystals, but the specific method was a bit expensive, requiring the essence of the heart of an Opium poppy tree—now there was only a stump left, making it difficult to massively produce these things.

Over the past thirty years, humans had been searching for a replacement solution, but unfortunately, due to limited manpower and resources, the outcome of this work was quite limited.

"Spirit Crystals" could significantly accelerate cultivation speed; even "low-quality" ones could increase speed by more than 50%, making them undeniably valuable.

Watching the lively discussion of the crowd, Lu Yuan said, "Calculate the value of one Spirit Essence to avoid floundering like a headless fly."

"Arrange the diplomatic envoys. We will depart after a while."
