Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System-Chapter 193: The Second Avatar, Ambtions For Technological Advancement.
Hoo~
Luo Xiaoxiao lowered her head and took a deep breath.
She knew Senior Thunder Dragon was right, but facing her Ancestral Master’s dwindling Lifespan, it was impossible for her not to be anxious.
"Let’s go."
Qin Mu gestured for Luo Xiaoxiao to go out first.
He had already used Space Law to probe the situation outside the vortex, and there were no problems.
The two stepped through the trial gate one after another.
It was also a plaza, only this one was even more severely dilapidated.
Time can erase all traces.
Aside from the trial gate and the plaza, nothing else could remain.
"Change your equipment and wear a helmet. Unless absolutely necessary, there’s no need to reveal your Star Luo Sect identity."
Qin Mu had many space rings from various Geniuses, most of which contained spaceships.
He chose a common model of a shuttle-shaped spaceship, then had Ao Mengmeng erase the smart system and all identification numbers and traces from the ship.
This way, the spaceship officially became unregistered, and no one could trace its origin.
However, being unregistered itself was suspicious.
"It’s fine for temporary use. Once we reach Night Star, we’ll naturally have a legitimate spaceship to use," Qin Mu glanced at the star map.
This planet was currently named Bi-3801-4.
Bi was the Star Domain, 3801 was the star number, and 4 was the planet’s position.
This place had fallen into disrepair even earlier; even the planet’s original name had no records.
"Hmm, the Laya Alliance’s transportation environment is quite good."
Inside the spaceship, Ao Mengmeng projected an image.
"The nearest Star Gate hub is only a three-day journey, then about two days for transfer, and we can reach Night Star."
Ten days.
This was not a short amount of time.
But then, considering it was an interstellar route, crossing tens of thousands of light years in a few days made the journey feel incredibly fast.
"Of course, there’s an even faster way."
Ao Mengmeng continued, "Using the Universe’s Most Adorable Mengmeng vessel, consuming energy stones, we can directly open a hyperspace channel. With existing coordinates, we can arrive in an hour."
"No need."
Qin Mu currently had nothing urgent to do, and the appearance of the thunder dragon ship itself was too risky.
What’s more, there had been too many recent upgrades; the flame heart spirit needed time to master, the Realm had upgraded, and the Cultivation directions for Law and Domain all needed to be organized.
"The normal route will suffice."
Ao Mengmeng took over from the smart system, directing the spaceship.
She usually had no patience for this kind of work.
"Oh, Qin Mu, you should get a cyber clone in the future; it’s much more convenient. Just split off a bit of your consciousness, and it can perfectly handle the smart system’s work."
Hmm?
Qin Mu was slightly stunned: "Isn’t the Cyber Clan a technological civilization? Can a smart system also be a Clone?"
Ao Mengmeng rolled her eyes at this.
"You... you should use these next few days to really catch up on basic Universe knowledge."
Immediately.
Ao Mengmeng brought up a ’Universe Travel Guide’ on the projection... The Cyber Clan’s origin time is no longer traceable; the most recent record is from thirty million jie yuan ago, when some organic Life forms attempted to modify their bodies with technology to achieve the Realm of eternal Life through technological means.
However, due to Universe rules, only Divine Rank beings can achieve eternal Life.
The method of technological eternal Life was destined to fail. Later, through the evolution of time, a clan in the cyber galaxy mastered Life modification technology and used it to create the first generation of Cyber Race people.
The Cyber Race are special individuals, existing between organic Life and energy Life.
The organic Life body is still restricted by Universe rules, but the Cyber Race can integrate technological products into their bodies, thereby achieving Star Domain, Star Rank, and even Divine Rank Realms and combat power without the need for Cultivation.
Advantage: The Cyber Race doesn’t need to Cultivate or have talent. As long as they possess Divine Rank implants, they can go from a nascent body directly to any Realm, including Realms above Divine Rank.
Disadvantage One: Implants have a strong impact on the Cyber Race Soul. They need to temper their Soul and gradually adapt to the implants. If forced to cross, it can lead to hallucinations and mental breakdown at best, and directly cause the Life form to explode at worst.
Disadvantage Two: Implants are extremely expensive, and implants below Divine Rank have usage time limits, requiring regular replacement... Damn it!
Qin Mu sighed inwardly, "This is practically a heaven for ’pay-to-win’ players."
With money, you can do anything you want.
No need to Cultivate; money equals combat power.
Awesome!
The Universe is vast and full of wonders.
"Then the Cyber Race must be incredibly strong, practically invincible. If they can get stronger by just spending money, wouldn’t they dominate the Universe?"
Thump thump thump!
Ao Mengmeng reached out her small hand and tapped the blackboard: "Pay attention to the key point here, there are four big words: EX-TREME-LY-EX-PEN-SIVE!!!"
"Hmm... ’Expensive,’ you might not understand..."
"How expensive are cyber implants? It’s probably so expensive that I hesitated for a long time back then and still didn’t choose a cyber clone. I simply couldn’t afford to play..."
What the heck!
Couldn’t afford to play?
Qin Mu was speechless: "Are you sure it’s not because you’re too stingy and don’t want to spend money?"
"No, no, no! Mengmeng really wanted to play, but, truly~ couldn’t afford to play..." Ao Mengmeng poked her fingers, looking extremely hurt: "Anything below Divine Rank is fine, but once those implants reach Divine Rank, oh my, they’re so expensive Mengmeng doesn’t even dare to look..."
Hiss~~~
Qin Mu secretly took a sharp breath.
If she said that, then it must be really expensive.
"It’s okay, your master is still very generous. This time, I must let you play."
With a shimmer.
Ao Mengmeng zipped up, her eyes sparkling with golden light, and extended her pinky finger: "Pinky promise!"
"Damn!? Could I even fool you?"
Qin Mu laughed and cursed, reaching out to make a pact with Stingy Dragon.
"If we have money, we should spend it. We’re not poor people now. Once we get there, cyber clones, one for each of us!"
"As for implants? Buy them directly!"
"My spending philosophy is: don’t buy what’s right, only buy what’s expensive~!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Ao Mengmeng’s lips curved into a meaningful smile as she happily floated in the air, directing the spaceship... Speaking of Clones.
Qin Mu opened his panel.
[Qin Mu]
[Main body: Martial Artist, Star Rank Peak. Mental Power, Star Rank Peak.]
[Thunder Dragon: Martial Artist, Star System Peak. Mental Power, Star System Peak.]
[Mental Power Quantity: 145]
[Martial Artist Cultivation Technique: Eighteen Styles of Bloody Battle (Level 1), Mad Blade (Level 1)]
[Mental Power Cultivation Technique: Three Thousand Dragon Swords (Star Rank Legend) (Level 1)]
[Domain: Thunder Light Sword Domain (Level 6)]
[Law: Nine Thousand Thunder Method (10th Layer), Condensing Light Refining Method (1st Layer), Daylight Phantom Body (1st Layer), Sword Shatters Star River (1st Layer), Thousand Dragons Locking Space (1st Layer), Flying Dragon Piercing Star (1st Layer)]
[Innate Secret Technique: True Dragon Clone (1st Layer), Dragon Soul Enslavement (1st Layer)]
The two cultivation technique of a Martial Artist no longer need to be cultivated; their significance is already minimal.
If I go to the Martial Artist route, I should at least consider it after gaining Green Peak’s combat experience.
"Yes, I’ll ask him later if I have an idea."
Thunder Light Sword Domain, this must be maxed out.
The Domain is the foundation of combat, and also the basis for later opening a private Domain and opening a Star Realm.
This will take three days.
As for Laws... Thunder Law is not urgent for now.
After mastering the flame heart spirit, I will immediately have thirty layers of basic Fire Law.
Using these thirty layers of Fire Law as the foundation for attack, then adding Void breaking and Flying Dragon Piercing Star, with the Phantom Body as defense, and Space Lock as the ultimate move.
This should be the fastest way to achieve the highest combat power in the shortest time.
Hmm.
And Clones.
However, Clones can wait until there is definite news before Cultivating.
The second Clone has been confirmed to be of the Cyber Race, but currently, there isn’t even a plan to acquire it, so upgrading Cultivation Techniques now would be a pure waste.
"Five days, just right."
"A Level 3 Domain, plus a Level 1 Fire Domain, and a Level 1 Fire Law."
There was enough time. Qin Mu was about to ask Stingy Dragon for Cultivation Techniques when he suddenly thought:
"By the way, does the Heavenly Sword Sect have a four-element Fusion Domain?"
The reason for asking this.
Is because the System can merge similar items.
If I upgrade them separately, one Cultivation Technique per element, I don’t know how much time and upgrade points would be wasted.
If one Cultivation Technique could cover all Domains and one could cover all Laws, that would be great.
"Four-element Fusion?"
Ao Mengmeng’s mouth twitched. She really wanted to say: "host, please stop being so ambitious!"
"Learning a single Domain, you’re very fast, Mengmeng knows."
"But four-element Fusion is really a bit much."
Not only is it excessive, but it’s also unnecessary.
