I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 548 - 38: Drastic Changes Among the Sea Race, the Age of Chaos Looms
At noon, Ning Zheng returned to the manor, visited Ning Jiaojiao and Sun Moon Su Yuniang, and chatted and ate with them.
Although the Dharma Aspect cannot eat.
In Ning Zheng’s view, while work is busy, one should also relax appropriately.
He napped until two in the afternoon before resuming work.
Fish Wine City.
The office of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The original decoration here had a primitive tribe style, and Ning Zheng called a small blacksmith to help refurbish it a bit.
Now the style is very classical and possesses the mysterious charm of the Sea Race.
It must be said, their aesthetic ability is still online.
By wisely using [Post Tasks], a laid-back life can become very beautiful.
Ning Zheng’s... Dharma Aspect sat at the desk, looked at the changes across the city, and thought of the new pseudo-humans in the pseudo-human laboratory.
He checked through the [Player Perspective].
That guy had already become one with the little blacksmiths, laughing and eating dirt together.
Ning Zheng’s eye twitched, "It somehow feels like this thing is a bit strange... Line... Line Sacrificial Era, not sure if there’s a connection."
"These pseudo-human creatures feel older than humans, possibly the dominators of the Line Sacrificial Era." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Ning Zheng was lost in thought.
The Melting Dragon Era was the era dominated by the Dragon Race’s innate divine beasts!
The Rongtian Era was the era of the Ancient Apes.
Not until the subsequent "Ancestral Human Biography" era did the Human Race officially emerge....
The Human Race rose during the middle period.
In the Ancestral Human Biography, those "pseudo-humans" claimed their history was older than humans... then they might be the dominators of the Line Sacrificial Era?
"In any case, this thing must not be let loose."
"Maybe even... see if we can annihilate its consciousness and make it an unconscious spiritual root!"
Honestly, Ning Zheng was quite tempted by this spiritual root.
Previously, he thought that for his second Yang Spirit Root, the best would be the Celestial Grade Human God Flower, helping him step into the Immortal Spirit Root.
But now...
He wasn’t so tempted by the Human God Flower anymore.
He thought that this pseudo-spiritual root + Human God Flower would be quite good!
The Yin Yang Creation Furnace is simply a God among gods, he loves it!
This thing even involves such a strange line... Although the creature in the laboratory is hiding deeply, looking timid and weak, it’s evidently extremely defiant.
It feels one notch above Human God, pseudo-spiritual root + Human God = Human God’s dad, clearly with higher lineage.
Ning Zheng pressed his temples, "Find a way to study and eliminate its consciousness! Then I’ll plant this second spiritual root and step into the threshold of an Immortal Spirit Root."
The pseudo-human synthesis laboratory is Ning Zheng’s next key investment project!
This era is one of competing heritages.
Behind a powerhouse is a sect or a Holy Land team!
His own team also needs to make an effort.
Everyone desires a stronger Immortal Spirit Root; if he succeeds... it should be the strongest Yin Yang Cycle Immortal Spirit Root in history.
...
The next morning.
In the pseudo-human laboratory, the little blacksmiths who ate and lived with the line-type pseudo-human woke up, but nothing happened, no night raids.
That pseudo-human behaved very tame.
But outside, another batch of pseudo-humans got killed.
Pseudo-human Shao Chaikun, pseudo-human Qing... after breeding, these were mercilessly killed by the little blacksmiths!
They are very cautious now, not wasteful at all, even expressing that passing earthworms need to be split in two... This attitude aligns with Ning Zheng’s intention.
They are still repenting over the bad ending they achieved before by causing the Manor Master’s sudden death, feeling like they can’t be wasteful anymore!
Thus, realizing this tactic to be very effective, Ning Zheng starts his work every day at Fish Wine City by giving a speech in the square.
"You need to remember how the Manor Master died!!"
Saying this every day.
Constantly reminding them, motivating their diligent brick-moving attitude.
Meanwhile, the timid pseudo-spiritual root plan also begins breeding the second generation, rapidly proliferating.
Pseudo-spiritual roots are incredibly fierce, like ants, if resources are abundant, they quickly form a natural disaster.
Of course, resources don’t come from nowhere; for instance, cultivating a pseudo-spiritual root of Upper Grade level indeed requires Upper Grade spiritual root resources.
Hence, after the pseudo-human calamity broke out, to reproduce, they turned every potential spiritual root resource into spiritual roots.
The days spent moving to Fish Wine City have been quite leisurely for Ning Zheng.
"Over on the Human Race side, every day +2 +2, seems they haven’t invaded the land yet... I wonder how the Sea Race’s other cities are doing, but I’m only a Two-Phase Realm cultivator, unable to help our Sea Race."
Ning Zheng sat in a chair, leisurely eating sea delicacies exclusively provided by the little blacksmiths’ canteen.
He felt it was right to mix with the Sea Race here.
The pseudo-human calamity broke out here, and he’s tagging along the front lines, observing the situation as a war reporter to get first-hand information.
Then, once it was passed back to the Human Race, instantly, the name of the Xirong Divine Craftsman for being well-informed was once again confirmed!
And my own Xirong statue, the fan followers will surge, the ratio of +2 will increase, and my daily Qi Fortune Value earnings will also soar.
"The days in the Sea Race are indeed pretty good." Ning Zheng sighed.
But just at this moment, my Fish Wine City Lord’s token suddenly received a message from the neighboring Kissing City Lord.
"Hello, is this Fish Wine City? This is Kissing City."
The voice of the Kissing City Lord came through from the other side.
Although the Sea Race here is relatively backward and relatively corrupt, the official standard communication City Lord tokens are still equipped.
As for Kissing City?
The name is indeed very strange.
But considering that the entire city of the other side is a population of Kissing Fish, those with big red lips, he immediately understood.
"Have the pseudo-humans erupted over there?" Ning Zheng showed a heavy expression, "Sorry, we’ve been overwhelmed by the pseudo-human invasion and completely forgot to contact you."
Ning Zheng glanced at the little blacksmith torturing the pseudo-humans, feigned a pained look and said, "Pseudo-humans, they’re too terrifying."
"Yes, they’re too terrifying!"
The voice of the Kissing City Lord also carried pain, just from the sound, it was a mature and charming royal sister:
"It’s already erupted here, 60% of our city are Sub-humans, 30% are mixed-blood Dragon Race... only 10% are properly cultivated transformed Demon Beasts."
"The pseudo-humans have quickly undergone a round of evolution, just by appearance alone they are no longer recognizable."
"I think we should help each other, form a defensive alliance, and jointly resist the pseudo-human calamity!"
Ning Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood.
In which era was the Human Ancestor?
Primitive Tribe.
At that time, the pseudo-human possessions obtained knowledge like how to farm, how to cultivate the land, and hunt.
The current era is too advanced.
Pseudo-human possessions now gain all kinds of advanced knowledge and techniques from modern cultivators, allowing them to evolve rapidly.
Rigid facial expressions and such are solved in an instant!
"We also have a pseudo-human invasion over here."
Ning Zheng feigned a tone of sorrow and said:
"However, we discovered a method to distinguish them; we can use the Spiritual Root Detection Stele, if their Spiritual Roots have become exceptional, they are basically pseudo-humans."
Kissing Fish City Lord said:
"We tried that method too."
"But what worked yesterday no longer works today, all of them have low-level sea-kind Spiritual Roots, indistinguishable."
"They’re too clever." Ning Zheng said, "They’ve already learned to reproduce pseudo-humans with low-level Spiritual Roots, matching the identities of those people’s races."
Ning Zheng tapped his fingers on the table, feeling this was indeed a troublesome matter.
Can’t recognize by face.
Can’t recognize by Spiritual Roots or bloodline.
The Sea Race suffering first can be overlooked, but when it reaches the Human Race, it will be quite troublesome.
"So what do you plan to do?" Ning Zheng asked.
"We plan to abandon the city and flee!"
The Kissing Fish City Lord sounded a bit pained, "I don’t want to kill them either, as we can no longer distinguish them, killing everyone is too cruel... so, we’re planning to flee, I wanted to ask about your situation."
Ning Zheng praised, "You are truly kind and loving towards your people."
Kind, my foot.
The city’s population is larger, tens of thousands of low-tier entry-level cultivators, without a large-scale attack, how could you kill them?
Killing them is futile and a waste of effort.
Running away right away is understandable.
"In the current situation, it’s probably only low-level cultivators being infected when they open the Three Flowers, right?" Ning Zheng said, "High-tier cultivators should not be parasitized."
Pseudo-humans are limited.
1. Infect low-tier cultivators who haven’t activated their Spiritual Roots.
2. Human Race bloodline.
But in the Sea Race, 80% of high-tier cultivators mostly belong to various Sea Demon Race noble families.
Pseudo-humans... cannot infect them.
Their high-tier strength hasn’t collapsed, theoretically, nothing major should happen.
"That’s theoretically correct."
Kissing Fish City Lord said, "But, but... I heard a rumor... Have you heard about Icefield City?"
"Icefield City?" Ning Zheng ambiguously replied, "I’ve heard a bit."
"It’s said to be one of the earliest cities where the outbreak occurred." The Kissing Fish City Lord said, "It’s said, there are already pseudo-humans infecting the pure-blooded Dragon Race..."
"How is that possible?" Ning Zheng was stunned, "The Beast Race is born with Divine Techniques, impossible to be parasitized..."
The Kissing Fish City Lord said the words Ning Zheng least wanted to hear:
"Yes, have you heard, the current Beast Race can cultivate Dual Spirit Roots..."
