Mythological origins

"My name is not Xiang... Zi... Lan either!!!" This time, even the cat's paws were electrified on the angry girl.

The strong current directly penetrated the air, generating plasma, and surrounded the cat-eared girl with a circle of blue arcs, which made her look dangerously handsome.

"Calm down... Calm down... Don't tear down our home." Lin Yuedong hurriedly advised.

He was not worried that he would be injured by these small arcs, but the furniture around him was not so tough.

Especially large and small electrical appliances, they were scrapped in an instant after an arc passed.

Although it doesn't cost much to replace a new one, it's something we're used to.

...

As for the word sun, in the empire, maybe only the old people like them can still use it.

Born in the lead ship and died in the lead ship, especially the "young people" who were born after the imperial fleet left the solar system, they don't care what the "sun" is.

In their eyes, the artificial sun on the artificial sky is no different from the electric light at home.

The only difference may be that the lights at home are only on at night, while the solar lamp above is on during the day.

A very big street lamp, nothing more.

It is completely different from Lin Yuedong, an old man who was born on Earth and to whom the sun has a special meaning.

"My...name...is...Lin...Zi...Lan!" The girl gritted her teeth almost word by word.

The name Lin Zilan was determined when she left the White Land and set out for the Empire.

When filling in the name at first, Lin Yuedong planned to let her have the same surname as him, so she would be called Lin Zilan.

But the cat demon, who was familiar with human customs, thought that this was taking advantage of him, so he changed the surname Lin to Lin, and dispelled the strange idea of ​​the other party to kiss his sister when there was something wrong and kiss his sister when there was nothing wrong.

"Okay, okay, it's Lin, okay, then Miss Lin, where should we retreat now?"

Lin Yuedong looked at the sky with some worry.

A few days ago, the two fifth-level nobles had the honor to sit in on the meeting hosted by Bai Mo in the Imperial Parliament, and roughly learned a little bit in advance.

But in the circle of imperial nobles, they were originally marginal people, without any real power. To be honest, what they knew was not much more than ordinary small cultivators.

If it weren't for the promise of the empire that as long as Professor Lin surrendered, he would be provided with a large amount of resources sufficient to achieve the fifth level, Lin Yuedong would never have left the White Land and come to this place billions of miles away.

His cultivation aptitude is not good.

When he was in the White Land, even if he spent all his energy and time other than scientific research on cultivation, relying on the spiritual materials exchanged for contribution points, he barely climbed to the third level and lived for 400 years.

Then he couldn't climb at all.

Lin Yuedong calculated that in the subsequent cultivation path, with his little aptitude, if he continued to earn contribution points and burn resources to push forward step by step, he would have to work for at least another 300 years before he could hope to accumulate the materials to go to the fourth level.

Three hundred years, I may not live that long.

Moreover, the shorter the remaining life span, the more the body's functions may degenerate.

When I save enough contribution points, it is unknown whether I can support the breakthrough.

...

This problem is not unique to Lin Yuedong. It also troubles countless practitioners who come from the White Land but have insufficient qualifications.

Although it is said that the exercises are basically free, and you can read and refer to them casually, and what everyone has can directly point to the true immortal road, the attitude of the White Land towards cultivation resources has always been pure distribution according to work.

Complete the task, get contribution points, and exchange resources.

Continue in this cycle.

It sounds normal.

But now the problem comes.     Resources are not like simple exercises, which can be copied infinitely and the price is infinitely cheap.

They are relatively limited.

Especially the mid-to-high-level resources that are difficult to mass-produce.

The price is not low.

When there is no bottleneck, the path of earning contribution points by completing tasks can still go on normally.

Once you encounter a bottleneck in cultivation, every step forward requires ten times or a hundred times the effort, and the income from the task alone is just a drop in the bucket.

However, in the White Land, without the second generation of Yu Yinxian, there is no way to exploit, let alone kill and set fire to the golden belt. Only by making great contributions can you have the opportunity to earn a lot of excess income.

The difficulty of completing such a thing is no less than breaking through your own bottleneck in cultivation.

Even for researchers like Lin Yuedong who have made great contributions to the transformation of the demon race, the extra reward of contribution points only allows him to barely push from the late stage of the first level to the early stage of the third level.

But his talent in this area is really not good.

Using spiritual roots as an analogy, Lin Yuedong is probably a poor little cultivator with four spiritual roots and no hope of even building a foundation.

Relying on the contribution points rewarded by the system, he relied on piling up resources and taking drugs to reach the Golden Core stage.

Of course, in a small world like Yuanyang Realm, if there is no cheating, it is already a miracle.

But who would complain about strength and lifespan?

After finally reaching the third level, he naturally had the ambition to move up.

But according to the rules of the White Land, Lin Yuedong was basically out of luck.

He felt that it was basically impossible for him to make a contribution far beyond the shapeshifting technique.

At this time, the lobbyist of the Empire, which was then called the Human Federation, came.

In order to buy horse bones for a huge sum of money, the Empire offered a price that made Lin Yuedong dumbfounded -

Guarantee him to reach the fifth level.

Lin Yuedong was tempted.

Having lived in the White Land for many years, he seriously underestimated the wealth of the Empire's high-level officials.

Originally, he just thought he could sell it for the price of a fourth level.

Unexpectedly, he could guarantee himself to the fifth level.

He did not hesitate to invest.

After paying the ransom, he and Lin Zilan, one person and one cat, took a special spacecraft to Terra.

However, the Empire was willing to pay such a high price for Lin Yuedong, naturally not just to buy some horse bones, which was the reason given to Lin Yuedong.

At that time, their lobbyists had already contacted the four sacred beasts of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, who were still struggling to earn ransom fees in the White Land and were always ready to run away.

They were comparable to the combat power of the four true immortals. After some negotiations, they were willing to join the Empire with a group of monsters who were still loyal to them after leaving the White Land.

With the help of Lin Yuedong, the leader of the shapeshifting technique research, the empire can have greater confidence to further assimilate this group of monsters and truly integrate them into human society.

Qinglong's subordinates alone are preparing to bring several sixth-level mysterious monsters and dozens of fifth-level heavenly monsters. If the shapeshifting technique can assimilate a few hearts, it will be a sure win.

What is a mere resource that can guarantee the fifth level?
