Chapter 241: So This Game Really Only Lets You Get Strong By Paying
“Extraordinary lifeform? What is that?”
“Could it be that a player has completed a Star Energy Construct?”
Lin Qi looked at the system prompt at the bottom of his vision, filled with doubt.
The information in the silver-black metal plate contained a fairly detailed introduction to the Star Energy Construct. Even in the Star Energy Civilization, among millions of people, not even one could complete a Star Energy Construct.
That is right. This Star Energy Construct secret method is that hard to cultivate.
But correspondingly, once it is completed, one’s Life Level will undergo an essential change, a change similar to evolving from a 2D creature into a 3D creature.
In the Star Energy Civilization, such a qualitative change in Life Level transforms an ordinary lifeform into a High-dimensional Lifeform.
Although players are selected by the system as people with some Talent and terrifying infinite Resurrection ability, in Lin Qi’s view, learning it still requires quite a long time; it is not something that can be done in a short period.
This is also why he set the condition of completing the new secret method before being allowed to enter the Mountain of the Dead.
By the time players truly complete the Star Energy Construct, they will have reached the Bone Forging Realm. Entering the extremely dangerous Mountain of the Dead then, they will at least have some ability to protect themselves. After all, the Mountain of the Dead is a place even experts at the City Lord’s level do not dare to step into casually.
If players have not even reached the Bone Forging Realm, entering the Mountain of the Dead would only be a waste of time and life.
While Lin Qi was dazed for a moment, a terrifying aura spread from outside the Intermediate Training Room, and even the door of the Intermediate Training Room could not block this vast life force.
“No way! Completed it this fast!”
“Could the system’s extraordinary lifeform be the High-dimensional Lifeform spoken of in the Star Energy Civilization?”
Lin Qi felt the vast aura coming from outside the door and could clearly sense that this was something on a completely different level from Qi and Blood oppression. It was a kind of oppression that came from Life Level itself.
At the same time as Lin Qi sensed this life aura, people in more than half of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall also felt this indescribable life force.
Inside a Primary Gravity Room, Dona, who had been sitting cross-legged cultivating, suddenly awoke in shock.
“How can there be such a vast life aura? Is it a monster attack?”
The moment Dona sensed it, her whole person became like a Beast, her furry ears and tail bristling at once as she stared warily at the alloy gate.
In her life, she had only felt such a vast life aura once.
That was when the Genius Training Camp was about to end, and the Top Ten Graduate could luckily receive a Reward from the Genius Training Camp: the right to choose an Item from the Wanxing City treasure vault.
In that treasure vault were the City Lord’s collections. One of those collections was a gigantic eye, or rather the eye of some Monster, and it was the collection the City Lord was most proud of.
Because that Monster had surpassed Lord Monsters. Back when the City Lord was in a Domain City, he was lucky enough to obtain one eye, and that eye possessed a similar vast life aura, something a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist could not possibly resist.
It was like a strong warrior facing a tyrannosaurus; the two simply were not on the same level.
While Dona was tense, the players’ lounge on the Second Floor of the Martial Arts Hall exploded into an uproar.
“What is with this terrifying life aura? What is going on with this lounge?”
“Could someone have been promoted to the Bone Forging Realm?”
“No way. I heard the highest mastery of the cultivation method right now is only a bit over 80% proficient. The further you go, the harder it gets. Without ten days to half a month, it is impossible.”
“Then how do you explain this life aura? This life aura is simply on a different level from us.”
“I remember this lounge seems to be Fang Zhen’s lounge. Could he really have broken through? Not long ago their Teams made a huge profit. They should have quite a few Type 2 Energy Potions.”
“They only came in today, and someone is already a Bone Forging Realm bigshot? Newbies with money, please carry me!”
……
A large number of players gathered in front of the door to Fang Zhen’s lounge. One by one, they looked at Fang Zhen’s lounge, full of curiosity and doubt. Especially Luo Wu Shang, Ye Qinglu, Lu Fanchen, and the others who had just run out from the lounge, all stared at Fang Zhen’s lounge in disbelief.
“Old Zhen has already reached the Bone Forging Realm this fast?” Twilight of the Gods felt the vast life aura inside the lounge and had mixed feelings.
They had clearly agreed to work hard together to catch up to those geniuses, yet Fang Zhen had secretly sprinted ahead, breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm so quickly, completely leaving his peers far behind.
“No, even a Bone Forging Realm should not have such an exaggerated life aura.” Luo Wu Shang carefully sensed the life aura inside the lounge and said with certainty, “We have seen quite a few Bone Forging Realm NPCs before, but those Bone Forging Realm NPCs only had strong Qi and Blood. Their life aura would be good if it reached one tenth of this. And so far, we have not felt any Qi and Blood oppression of the Bone Forging Realm, so it should not be a promotion to the Bone Forging Realm.”
“I think so too. This should not be a breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm.” Lu Fanchen looked at Fang Zhen’s lounge and agreed. “If he had just broken through, with his Qi and Blood not yet under control, with such strong Qi and Blood, there is no way we would not feel it from outside.”
“This is really strange. If it is not a breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm, how can his life aura be this strong?” Yi Ye Fu Yun felt the vast life aura inside the lounge and was also full of doubt.
Given that they were all Advanced Martial Artists, Yi Ye Fu Yun could clearly sense that his own life aura was inferior to the one inside by at least a hundredfold.
If this were not Fang Zhen’s lounge, he would suspect the Hall Master had done something.
Just as everyone was stunned and curious, the door of Fang Zhen’s lounge slowly opened, and Fang Zhen walked out.
“Why are you all here?” Fang Zhen looked at the familiar faces outside the door and could not help but smile.
“Old Zhen, hurry up and tell us what you did in your Room?” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked urgently at Fang Zhen, who had just stepped out. “Why such a big commotion? Did you really break through?”
At the same time, everyone present turned to look at Fang Zhen, curious about what exactly he had done to cause such a terrifying life aura.
Although life aura does not represent Level directly, such a terrifying life aura means the Energy contained is extremely powerful, and it would definitely not be a small Improvement to Combat Power.
“Me? I did not break through, and I did not do anything.” Fang Zhen felt indescribably pleased under everyone’s gaze. He pointed inside the Room and said with a smile, “All this commotion was caused by Captain Chen.”
“Captain Chen? Sister Chen Ya? Damn! When did you two!” Yi Ye Fu Yun stared hard at Fang Zhen, his jaw dropping. “If you two do this, does the Game Developer know?”
“What are you thinking? It is not just my Room. Captain Li is there too.” Fang Zhen looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun and suddenly had the urge to beat him to death. If this rumor spread, he might not live to see tomorrow’s sun. “All right, do not block the way. Captain Chen still has to go register with the Hall Master!”
“Register with the Hall Master? Could it be that she has mastered the new secret method?” Zhao Hu at the side asked in disbelief.
He considered himself somewhat talented in cultivation, though not as gifted as Luo Wu Shang. He had reached Entry-level in the Energy Secret Technique, but the Star Energy Construct Secret Method that fuses three secret techniques into one was on a completely different Difficulty level.
It could even be said to be an entirely new Secret Technique; everything had to be overturned and rebuilt.
The Body Strengthening Secret Technique’s constructed Cell structure was only the most basic Guidance, letting learners know how to reconstruct Cell structures. The Mental Secret Technique was to enhance control over Energy Guidance. The Energy Secret Technique taught how to channel, store, and then unleash massive Energy.
In other words, the Star Energy Construct Secret Method required them to reconstruct a Body, a Body that could integrate terrifying Energy and also endure the Energy Burst.
Of course, the general method for Cell construction was also mentioned in the Energy Secret Technique, but only in rough terms. After all, everyone’s situation is different, and the many complex details are the truly headache-inducing part.
He had specially studied a great deal of biology for this, yet still had no good idea how to create a suitable Body.
It was hard to imagine that such a complex Secret Method could be completed by Chen Ya in such a short time.
“Yeah.” Fang Zhen nodded and laughed. “Our Team is now one step ahead.”
As soon as Fang Zhen finished speaking, a figure walked out from the lounge, and for a moment, all the players present were stunned.
The one who came out of the lounge was none other than Chen Ya, the Blood Flame Spear Princess known to everyone on the Mecha Continent.
At this moment, although Chen Ya’s figure had not changed at all, her long hair and Clothes fluttered despite the lack of wind, and her whole Body seemed wrapped in something transparent. The closer one got to this enveloping force, the stronger the resistance became, as if a repulsive force emanated from Chen Ya’s Body. Yet Chen Ya herself was completely unaffected; she could approach others at will, easily creating a powerful impact.
“This…”
“Damn! This new secret method actually allows Transformation!”
“Could this be the legendary super… Patrick Star?”
Whether Veteran Player or Newbie, everyone stared at Chen Ya with their mouths wide open. None of them had expected that a Secret Method in this Game could actually cause Transformation.
And this Transformation was terrifying to such an extent.
“So this is the effect of the new secret method? This is insanely cool.” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Chen Ya with shining eyes and could not help asking, “Sister Chen! How much does this Secret Method increase your Combat Power?”
With Yi Ye Fu Yun’s question, all the players present turned their eyes to Chen Ya, equally curious about how much Improvement this new secret method provided.
At this moment, Chen Ya did not give them the suffocating feeling of the Bone Forging Realm, but she did give off a very dangerous feeling. That showed this new secret method should bring quite a bit of Improvement; they just did not know how far it could go.
“How should I put it, I am not sure exactly how much the Improvement is.” Chen Ya thought for a moment, then directly pulled up her Attribute Panel. “You can see for yourselves.”
Player: Chen Ya
Martial Arts Level: Advanced Martial Artist （ currently in Transcendent State ）.
Strength: 13,4 kilograms. （ Bone Forging Realm Beginner Level Martial Artist standard: 15,000 kilograms ）
Speed: 7 meters per second. （ Bone Forging Realm Beginner Level Martial Artist standard: 125 meters per second ）
“These stats have to be hacked, right?”
“Damn! This is a BOSS Panel!”
“I remember that even the Extreme Advanced Level Bone Forging Realm only has about fifteen tons of Strength. She is almost fourteen tons as an Advanced Martial Artist?”
After seeing Chen Ya’s Panel data, all the players could not help but gasp.
This Attribute Panel was simply off the charts.
And this was only the basic stats. With all kinds of Martial Skills at Perfection providing buffs, calling Chen Ya a humanoid Godzilla would not be an exaggeration.
“This cannot be data written with their feet by the devs, right?” Twilight of the Gods looked at Chen Ya’s Panel and was almost crying with envy. “Relying on this Strength alone, she could probably take down an Intermediate Lord by herself.”
“Sister Chen! No, sis! Can you tell me how to cultivate this Secret Method?” Yi Ye Fu Yun stared at Chen Ya, practically drooling.
Directly letting an Advanced Martial Artist possess Physical Fitness comparable to an Extreme Advanced Level Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist’s Body is like walking sideways across the Wilderness Map.
Yi Ye Fu Yun’s question also made many players present perk up their ears.
Such an awesome Secret Method, if they could master it, would be like unlocking an easy mode for High Martial Arts Descend.
“I cannot tell you the specific cultivation steps, but I can give you a way to practice this Secret Method.” Chen Ya glanced at their eager faces and said with a wry smile, “This Secret Method has extremely high requirements for Cell reconstruction. It is too difficult to rely on ourselves alone, so I rented a Quantum Supercomputer to run simulations and Deductions. If you want to quickly learn this Secret Method, that should be the fastest method.”
After speaking, Chen Ya tapped her toes, and almost in the next instant, appeared in the First Floor Lobby, as if she had teleported.
“So fast. This Speed is almost the same as when that Bone Forging Realm BOSS from the White Feather Gang’s Stronghold escaped using a Martial Skill.” Zhang Qing Wei watched Chen Ya, who had appeared in the First Floor Lobby in a flash, and was deeply shocked.
“It seems this Secret Method’s Improvement is much greater than what the Panel shows.” Luo Wu Shang said excitedly. “If we can master this Secret Method, we can freely Hunt Intermediate and below Lord Monsters in the Wilderness Area in the future. Maybe we could even have a shot at a Strategy Guide for that Two-Horned Leopard.”
“Indeed, we have to quickly complete this Secret Method. Otherwise, those Lord BOSSes in the Wilderness Area will probably all be taken by them.” Ye Qinglu looked at Chen Ya, who had disappeared from sight, a little envious. “Looks like I need to rent a Quantum Supercomputer too.”
“A Quantum Supercomputer, huh? That is actually a good idea. I completely forgot this Game has a Virtual Degree of 100%. We can fully use other computers to run simulations and Deductions.” Luo Wu Shang thought of this and quickly chose to Log Off, planning to get a Quantum Supercomputer.
As the Senior Officials of several major Teams all chose to Log Off to acquire Quantum Supercomputers, the Newbies present were all stunned.
“Damn! Do we need a Quantum Supercomputer just to play a Game these days?”
“I knew this Game was actually pay-to-win. The more you spend, the stronger you get. Enough talk, I am Logging Off to buy a Quantum Supercomputer. Anyone want to group-buy?”
“The Game Developer has finally acted like a human for once. It is finally our turn to show off the power of money!”
“This Secret Method is too cool! Just for this Transformation form alone, I am buying a Quantum Supercomputer!”
The players watched as the major Teams planned to use Quantum Supercomputers to play, feeling that they had all gone crazy, while some Super Rich Players were excited, discussing how to get a Quantum Supercomputer.
On the other side, after registering Chen Ya, Lin Qi pulled up her detailed data, his shock no less than that of the Newbies.
“As expected, it is not a complete Star Energy Construct Secret Method.” Looking at Chen Ya’s system data, Lin Qi did not know whether to cry or laugh.
