I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 893 - 588: Year 500 of the Epoch, but Still No Treasure Digging to Become a God_2
Chapter 893: Chapter 588: Year 500 of the Epoch, but Still No Treasure Digging to Become a God_2
Looking at it this way, the development of an advanced civilization is really too difficult.
Everything requires civilization points, it’s too much for a family business to bear!
But no matter what, this technology still needs investment and development...
"First... first research cheap technology..." Old Cat felt he was about to gain a soul, said shakily, "We still have to rely on picking up scraps... the current demand for advanced materials is not large."
...
...
In the year 444 of the Epoch, after thirty years of fermentation, the Temple of Greed finally gained continuous recognition from various races in the Northern Territory.
The Divine Skill is indeed a hard currency, sparking a wave of popular demand.
Although the price is a bit high, the appearance of a Divine Skill might change the course of a civilization’s development and effectively compensate for a race’s deficiencies. It is indeed quite valuable.
"It may not be strong, but it cannot be absent!"
Guided by this thought, civilizations come for trade every so often.
In recent decades, Lu Yuan has successively launched several popular Divine Skills such as "Rune Reader," "Whisperer," and "Treasure Eye."
Surprisingly, the largest buyer turned out to be the Human 18th Civilization?!
Well, humans indeed have the deepest pockets and the most demand... especially since they really made some money recently.
Knowing the truth, Old Cat could only complain to the old strangers: "When I think of humans buying in bulk, all the money earned through hard work going to Lu Yuan, it’s like swallowing a lump of dung."
"Haven’t humans improved? And don’t I spend money to replicate Divine Skills?!" Lu Yuan shamelessly said, "And if I sell it cheap to humans, wouldn’t it soon be speculated that this is the temple of the Greedy Demon God?"
That statement is indeed reasonable.
Like pairing "Engraving Reading" with "Craftsmanship," it can further enhance the forging skills of craftsmen.
The pairing of "Super-thinker" and "Whisperer" can also enhance a scientist’s research capabilities.
The natural dual Divine Skill Users are extremely rare, even among ten civilizations there might not be one.
Therefore, reasonably pairing top talents with Divine Skills is indeed a way to enhance their level.
It’s just... too expensive!
Humans have bought over five hundred Divine Skills, spending nearly eighteen hundred civilization points!
This spending is truly like running water, all the money earned is invested in talent cultivation.
The key point is, internally, humans say "it’s not a loss," "it’s not a loss," "anyway, we’ve been making money all these years."
Old Cat mumbled a few words in his heart and ultimately had to let go of this pain: "When can your [Temple] transport life?"
"Won’t humans leave the Northern Territory while you’re still procrastinating there?"
Lu Yuan looked bitter: "I’ve researched for so many years and still haven’t overcome some technical barriers."
"I plan to use only small-scale inspiration to achieve this purpose. Using large-scale inspiration seems a bit wasteful."
"Do you have this ability? You’re just thinking as you please." Old Cat was speechless.
Human technological development has actually provided Lu Yuan with a certain degree of inspiration.
Especially regarding communication with the Pangu World Will, the construction of various formations filled in some knowledge gaps.
So he plans to change the technological approach.
Lu Yuan explained: "The transmission function of [Immortal Palace] is limited to items, it cannot transport life. This is a rule-based flaw, and it’s difficult to remedy."
"But in the short term, probably only humans are willing to buy the expensive [Temple], and the required transport volume won’t be too large."
"Hmm... that’s the case."
"So I plan to transform the Ancient Insect Horn into a flying shuttle that’s good at Earth Escape."
"I will link the ’shuttle’ with the World Will, borrowing its power to complete long-distance Earth Escape."
This approach essentially divides the business into two parts.
Non-life transmission is completed by the [Temple].
While life transmission is actually done by the flying shuttle.
The advantage of this approach is that the connection between the [Immortal Palace] and the World Will is greatly weakened, almost to zero; the difficulty of crafting is also greatly reduced.
If there’s really a need to escape, just sacrifice the "flying shuttle" to the World Will.
"And the creation of the shuttle is not too difficult, as the Ancient Insect Horn itself is an Immortal Level Earth Attribute material, with a shape and size suitable for Earth Escape. Its ability is ’Penetration.’
"Therefore, not much modification is needed... not even inspiration, just create some carriages to follow behind."
"This modification won’t damage the horn’s shape and characteristics, and if it’s needed in the future, I can still remove it for secondary modification."
"What’s the downside?"
"The downside is that the shuttling ability of Earth Escape is slower than conventional space jumps. A space jump can truly make the world a village, but Earth Escape travel might take a while."
"If more civilizations use the [Temple] in the future, one shuttle might not keep up."
"If worse comes to worst, just let the Ancient Insect grow another horn, and I’ll buy it! Then modify another shuttle?" Lu Yuan patted his chest with wealth and confidence.
To compensate that old horned insect, he gifted 50 Divine Skills over the years, amusing the big shellbug so much they became sworn brothers with Lu Yuan.
As for how the Ancient Insect allocates things, Lu Yuan doesn’t bother with those details.
With Prince Jin Bote providing strategies behind the scenes, there shouldn’t be too many problems.
...
Time passed once again.
In the year 483 of the Epoch,
the Earth Escape Shuttle was finally completed!
It looks like a giant drilling machine, with an 800-meter-long Ancient Insect Horn at the front, connected to a series of carriages behind—to fuss over these carriages required a lot of effort from Lu Yuan.
