Chapter 84 - Lack of Spirit Crystals
Under the eight times gravity, Lu Yuan stood still and closed his eyes.
After inscribing the rejuvenation gene, Lu Yuan’s spiritual strength was much stronger than before, and naturally, he was much more sensitive.
He could clearly feel the minute changes in his body parts under the powerful gravity.
The blood in his blood vessels flowed, his organs squirmed, and his muscles pulled.
This allowed him to have a more direct and clear understanding of his body.
What Black Steel Force required was the knowledge of the body’s strength.
Lu Yuan had already cultivated the Black Steel Force to the second level. In such an environment, he believed that he could cultivate the Black Steel Force to the third level, or even the fourth level, in the shortest time possible.
As time passed, Lu Yuan tried to walk up slowly.
As he walked, Lu Yuan consumed his energy even faster. Even his spiritual power was being consumed rapidly.
In just half an hour, Lu Yuan felt very tired.
He had no choice but to sit down cross-legged, take out a spiritual crystal, and start to absorb spiritual power.
The spiritual energy merged into Lu Yuan’s body. Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, his body gradually got rid of fatigue.
Another portion of his spirit force was integrated into his genetic chain, refining his first gene.
His genetic chain, which had not been completely tempered after the evolution, gradually became dazzling again from the bottom.
Time passed. When Lu Yuan had absorbed more than 3000 spiritual crystals, his body and genetic chain were finally full.
Lu Yuan was shocked.
In the past, when Lu Yuan absorbed spiritual power, he consumed less than 1000 pills at most.
Now, it had increased by about four times.
One of the reasons was that his physical strength had greatly improved after his breakthrough. Another reason was that under the gravity, Lu Yuan’s body had become more hungry and thirsty, so it was easier for him to absorb spiritual qi.
In other words, if one were to cultivate in the gravity room, one would be able to absorb more spirit energy.
It was no wonder that the post he had read previously said that the gravity room and simulation room were very beneficial to genetic warriors.
The benefits were too great.
The only drawback was that it required too many spirit crystals.
However, such a luxurious cultivation method was not prepared for ordinary genetic warriors. Only those descendants of powerful families could be so extravagant, right?
After his body was full, Lu Yuan got up and started cultivating again.
…
Five hours later, the gravity in the gravity room slowly stopped.
Lu Yuan, who was slowly practicing military boxing, stopped.
After staying in the high-gravity environment for a long time, Lu Yuan felt as if his body was about to float when the original gravity was restored.
However, he also knew that this was just an illusion.
The only real improvement was that he had some ideas about the third level of the Black Steel Force.
In addition, he had consumed a large number of spirit crystals to temper the Red Copper Light gene to 20%.
He had improved in all aspects.
The price was more than 5000 spiritual crystals.
Lu Yuan panicked a little when he saw the number of spirit crystals he had consumed.
He had consumed more than 5000 crystals in five hours. How many crystals would he consume in a day?
Although Lu Yuan did not use the spirit crystals he obtained on the way back to Sandstone city to charge the evolution cube, he only had around 20000 spirit crystals.
It was used up in about 20 hours?
On average, one elite equipment would be used every ten hours …
Lu Yuan felt his scalp go numb.
He had thought that he had enough crystals.
Looking at it this way, Lu Yuan realized that he was still in need of spiritual crystals.
“I’ve used up all my spirit crystals. Let’s go and hunt beasts.”
Lu Yuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a little vexed.
After that, Lu Yuan did not continue cultivating. Instead, he left the martial arts center.
It was already night time outside.
He planned to go back and rest first before continuing his cultivation the next day.
The streetlights along the streets were emitting white light. The signboards on the shops were also flickering with light. The number of genetic warriors walking to and fro had increased by quite a bit.
Not all genetic warriors would choose to camp in the wilderness.
If they were closer, most of the genetic warriors would still return to Sandstone city. After all, it was safer there.
Lu Yuan strolled around slowly. Just then, a voice came from behind him.
“Eh? Brother Yuan? You’re actually here?”
Lu Yuan turned his head and saw Grimm and the others standing behind him. The one who spoke was Zhuo Ming.
Seeing Lu Yuan, Grimm and the rest revealed a smile and walked over quickly.
“Lu Yuan, I haven’t seen you for a few days. You haven’t been in the Sandy cliff underground Palace recently?”
“Yes,” Lu Yuan nodded. “I went to other places.”
“Brother Yuan, where did you go?” Zhuo Ming was curious.
“The Ancient Sea Oasis.”
“Sheesh …”
Grimm and the others widened their eyes.
“The ancient sea oasis? That’s one of the most dangerous areas in the entire Sandstone city, right? Brother Yuan, you’ve already gone there?”
Zhuo Ming exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Grimm smiled bitterly. “I’ve been to the Ancient Sea Oasis once. The beasts there have a minimum refinement level of 50%. Many of them are in groups. It’s very dangerous. That time, the team that we formed went in and was completely annihilated in less than half a day. After that, I stayed in the Sandcliff underground Palace and didn’t dare to go there anymore … I didn’t expect you to be able to survive there. Your progress is really amazing. ”
Lu Yuan smiled, “The Ancient Sea Oasis does have many ferocious beasts in groups. If it wasn’t for my strong defense, I would be in danger too. Even so, I’ve almost died a few times before. ”
What Lu Yuan said was not a lie. Previously, when Lu Yuan was chased by a large group of elite fierce beasts, he only managed to escape because his spiritual energy would not be exhausted.
“Brother Yuan, did your refinement progress increase a lot again?”
“I’ve made some gains at the Ancient Sea Oasis,” Lu Yuan said with a smile. “I’ve indeed improved a lot.”
Hearing this, whether it was green or Zhuo Ming, they all looked envious.
Lu Yuan’s improvement was too fast.
“Then why did you come back today?”
“I’m planning to come back and rest. ”
Lu Yuan did not intend to say that he came back because of a breakthrough.
This speed was a little too exaggerated.
“Why are you guys back?”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Grimm and the others were beaming with joy.
“We were lucky this time. We killed an elite-grade sand python and got an elite-grade equipment. We couldn’t use it, so after some discussion, we decided to auction it off. After all, the auction is about to start. ”
Lu Yuan saw that they were a little excited and laughed. “That’s really lucky. Congratulations. ”
For Lu Yuan, an elite geno weapon was nothing.
However, for ordinary people, elite-grade equipment was too rare.
Each set cost more than 10000 crystals.
“Hahaha! This time, I’ll get more than 1000 crystals! Maybe I can improve before the college entrance exam and get into a better warrior academy. ”
Zhuo Ming was all smiles as he spoke.
Grimm looked at Lu Yuan. “By the way, Lu Yuan, we’re going to the Entertainment City to celebrate. Do you want to come with us?”
“Entertainment City? That’s not good, is it?”
Lu Yuan was a little hesitant.
He, Lu Yuan, was not the kind of person to go to that kind of place!
Everyone called him a pure young man.
“Go, brother Yuan! There are many beautiful women there. ”
Zhuo Ming was excited, and the others were also smiling.
“Since you’ve already said so, then let’s go.”
Lu Yuan smiled.
Since Grimm and the others had already requested this of him, it was naturally difficult for him to refuse.
He definitely didn’t want to see if the girls there were beautiful.
When he arrived at the Entertainment City, Lu Yuan realized that it was not just a bar for genetic warriors to drink.
It was a huge entertainment area.
The streets were bustling with activity, and a large number of genetic warriors were strolling around.
There were a few eateries on both sides of the street.
These eateries sold all kinds of midnight snacks, and the materials were naturally materials from the dire beasts in sandstone city.
For example, things like roasted spider legs, roasted sand ant meat, and so on.
Further in were some entertainment buildings.
There were shops for all kinds of virtual games, and various entertainment activities for cat-people, humans, elves, and dog-headed people.
After that, there were bars.
Lu Yuan and the others walked into the most prosperous Sandcliff bar, which was different from the kind of bar Lu Yuan had expected.
The bar here was a small one, and everyone could come and drink with their friends.
A good-looking elf was singing on the stage.
Her voice was melodious and moving. Lu Yuan saw the geno battle tattoo on her wrist.
Zhuo Ming saw Lu Yuan looking at the elf singer and revealed a smirk.”
“Brother Yuan, do you think she’s very pretty?”
Lu Yuan turned around and saw the wretched smile on Zhuo Ming’s face. His mouth twitched.
“I’m just curious. She’s a genetic warrior, so why is she singing here?”
Grimm laughed and said,”
“It’s nothing. Many genetic warriors will do part-time jobs to earn some crystals when they return to the city to rest. The singers here can earn hundreds of crystals every hour, much more than us. ”
Lu Yuan came to a realization.
So he was a part-time worker.
“Brother Yuan, how is it? Are there a lot of beautiful women? Look at the table at your eight o’clock, the four feline girls. That’s awesome, isn’t it?”
As soon as Zhuo Ming entered the bar, he seemed to have let himself go. His eyes became extremely sharp and he sized up the surroundings without leaving a trace.
The corner of Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched. He could vaguely see the green light in Zhuo Ming’s eyes.
This must be an illusion, right?
Lu Yuan silently turned his head and looked over. It was indeed quite good-looking.
Perhaps it was because the genes of genetic warriors were of a higher grade.
The vast majority of genetic warriors were rather good-looking.
But even so, Lu Yuan still felt that the best-looking one was still Ye Ye, whom he had met last time.
With Zhuo Ming’s help, Lu Yuan did see many good-looking catmen, elves, and human women.
However, the popular segment that Lu Yuan thought did not appear. At most, a few female genetic Warriors glanced at him, but no one came over to chat him up.
The few of them had some drinks and chatted for a while. After relaxing, they left the bar.
In the next three days, Lu Yuan went to the gravity room to cultivate in the day and returned to his room to rest at night.
At night three days later, the door of light was completely restored, and Lu Yuan left the land of origin.
