I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 639 - 463: A Special Education Model
Chapter 639 -463: A Special Education Model
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh: “Then say something you can talk about.”
“You mean, the Extraordinary Level of these technological items, which combines idealism and materialism, is actually being underestimated?”
“For now, that’s how it is… A single ‘Ordinary Level’ high-powered missile has the potential to defeat an Epoch Anomaly; their actual utility is definitely being underestimated.”
“Many possible reasons could account for this outcome.”
“First, this approach may be deliberately underestimated to feign weakness to the enemy.”
Hai Zhiyun couldn’t help but lower his voice, “I have reason to suspect, when ‘Myths’ appear in large numbers, it could mean the end of an Epoch is near. But this technological route is quite difficult to reach the Mythical Level.”
“Cough cough…” Lu Yuan choked and couldn’t stop coughing.
Damn, could it be that I’m the chief culprit?
“The second reason could be that this route is a reluctant compromise.”
“Mythical Level, after all, is stronger than this semi-idealist approach. Because your Epic Level Puppet, the Greedy Demon God, has already reached a level of strength that is somehow incomprehensible, capable of transferring Life Essence and can change size at will; it indeed transcends the realm of materialism.”
“Now it’s Immortal Level…” Lu Yuan corrected him.
“It has reached Immortal Level already, huh… But it’s still quite exaggerated, like a living creature. If you hadn’t disagreed, I would have wanted to research it long ago.”
“But if this really is the reason, it is quite tragic that all civilizations, due to unknown factors, can only struggle within a designated boundary.”
“But I have some doubts about this possibility too because, after all, Mr. Ancient Insect as a Myth seems a bit weak.”
“If we could know the specific power of Myths, we could analyze even more accurate outcomes.”
Lu Yuan shook his head: “How could the Ancient Insect be weak? Anyone who has survived until now has some tricks up their sleeve. You don’t know its abilities. As for analyzing more outcomes? Better not mess around with that, we should focus more on semiconductor research and develop ourselves.”
He sighed deeply. The more you know, the more fearful you become.
Humans are considered a Third-level Civilization, but how should I put it… Civilizations from the last Epoch that were at the Third Level all went through a long period of development, spanning possibly a thousand years.
Humans have developed for only two hundred years at most. Although we’ve salvaged many relics, we still lag far behind the old civilizations.
After eating dinner, Lu Yuan said goodbye to the young people; everyone was busy with their tasks, never able to rest for a moment.
“Oh, by the way, I have one small suggestion!” Hai Zhiyun suddenly turned his head and added a few more words.
“What suggestion?”
“While observing online information, I feel that a part of the new generation has a subtle sense of superiority… especially a small group whose sense of superiority is particularly strong.”
“It could be because we are indeed somewhat stronger than the Underground Alliance, and this sense of superiority is hard to describe over the long term of coexistence. I don’t quite understand it myself, but it certainly exists.”
“Haha, you’re only 23 years old yourself and you’re already criticizing your peers,” Lu Yuan laughed. “And you’re hacking into network information illegally? That’s a criminal act!”
“I joined over a hundred student groups, from elementary to university level, I’ve got them all! Who needs to steal illegally?” Hai Zhiyun jumped up in defense.
As a Mind Uploader, reading thousands of messages in a second and chatting in groups when bored is normal, isn’t it? Criminal behavior is beneath me!
He quickly calmed down: “Ahem, the older ones seem to be alright after joining some work, slowly realizing their own capabilities.”
“Especially geniuses like me who know a bit of the secrets – the pressure is absolutely through the roof.”
Get out of here, what do you know!
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
Hai Zhiyun continued earnestly, “The younger they are, the more they are accustomed to the ivory tower, the worse their arrogance becomes. As you know, pride is the original sin, and in the case of potential major changes in the future, we must do our utmost.”
Lu Yuan shook his head, then nodded.
When development falls behind, naturally there will be numerous internal conflicts.
Develop too well, and all sorts of problems like arrogance and pride start to surface…
The path of civilization’s progress is indeed obstructed and long.
After pondering for a while, Lu Yuan responded, “We will strengthen the psychological education for these students. There’s a brand new thought class starting soon, and you’re welcome to experience it.”
When night came, the city lights were bright, and thanks to the clouds’ protection outside, there was no need to worry about the light refracting out.
Nightlife these days is quite rich, in addition to TV and video games, there are also some sports matches, concerts, etc., not very professional but also self-entertaining.
“World forever exists, civilization never dies—truly a grand vision.”
…
…
Time passed day by day, and Sky City officially crossed that great underground rift, bidding farewell to the high mountains of 100,000 meters and headed towards an even more distant direction.
Ahead lay an unimaginably immense tropical savannah!
Even from a height of 50,000 meters gazing into the distance, the end couldn’t be seen—just the area of one prairie alone might exceed the whole of Earth!
Countless wild animals dwell here.
Screaming snakes, lions with wings, to rosy-cheeked wild wolves, adorable bears… There are so many new types of creatures that they are simply too numerous to count!
One by one, resplendent lakes are sprinkled amongst the grasslands, and because these lakes are so incredibly vast, each spanning millions of square kilometers, it’s hard to distinguish whether they are seas or lakes.

Countless rivers fill the gaps between the lakes, creating an intricate network of waterways.
As for the flying speed of the cities, well, it’s not fast, roughly 5 kilometers per hour.
Technology has indeed advanced, but the mass of Sky City has inflated more than fiftyfold, and such gigantic entities really can’t fly at supersonic speeds like airplanes; they can only drift along sluggishly… But now there’s not too much of a rush, low-power mode, leisurely treasure hunting is rather pleasant.
And the Treasure Hunting Teams, at last, started to get busy.
As time evolves, the hunt for treasures never halts!
This is an outdoor survival class for a new era.
Unlike the past experience classes, such as living near the underground rifts where every forest was explored and deemed safe, nothing was dangerous.
But now it’s different, no one knows what lies hidden in the grass beneath.
It is the unknown and the challenge!
“Students, we have now arrived at an unfamiliar location, it’s finally time for the Treasure Hunting Team to show its mettle! You see, the treasures are buried deep underground, waiting for us to unearth.”
“Don’t think picking up trash is easy, there are a lot of tricks to it…”
Colonel Lu Ying was at the edge of the City, teaching the new generation of kids.
How to find treasures, how to avoid risks, how to capture Extraordinary Creatures, and so on…
Colonel Lu Ying detailed all of his experiences without sparing any particulars.
In this serious classroom, a boy named Hai Peng actually started “giggling,” whispering sotto voce.
The other girls were also giggling, fantasizing about uncovering treasures and being admired by thousands.
They were very excited.
The mystery of treasure hunting was stimulating their nerves.
These children are 13 years old, with the boys averaging a height of 1.75 meters and the girls 1.65 meters.
Physically, they’ve reached adult standards, but their intelligence is still at a middle schooler’s level.
The noise level grew louder and even Colonel Lu Ying’s lecture was drowned out by the students’ zoning out.
All the soldiers saw this, but they weren’t annoyed, just watching them bicker because they had been informed that these children would receive special education.
“Next, I will talk about the things to note before we depart…”
(*No one pays attention.)
Survival backpacks were distributed to each of them.
Sky City passed overhead, blocking the sunlight and casting a huge shadow on the ground.
But the wild animals were unaware, taking it as just an ordinary cloud.
Lu Ying felt a bit of schadenfreude in his heart but just went through the motions of teaching, holding something like a metal detector and also picked up a dull-looking stone.
Suddenly, the detector sensed something and started beeping “beep beep beep.”
“See, students, the most common Black Iron Ore emits a Mind wave that creates a sinusoidal pattern, very regular!”
“But don’t rely entirely on the computer because Black Iron Ore often comes with associated minerals, which can create interference.”
“You’d better remember the wave patterns of common ore deposits.”
(The conversation buzzes with joy and excitement.)
“Colonel, what does the wave pattern of Refined Gold Ore look like?” a student suddenly asked with a raised hand.
“Refined gold, huh… also a sinusoidal function, similar to Black Iron, but with gentler peaks and troughs. This distinction is not easy and can be easily overlooked.”
I’m talking for nothing here. You guys can’t really think you would find Eternal Essence Gold—Colonel Lu Ying complained in his mind.
“What’s the most valuable ore we can dig up?”
“It’s roughly Refined Gold, and rarer minerals are usually buried deep or guarded by Guardians.”
“Ahem,” Colonel Lu Ying patiently continued: “There’s also another method of searching, using one’s Superpower. I won’t talk much about it, everyone will rely on their own skills.”
Because the Pangu Continent is sparse with Extraordinary Minerals, settling in one location for long usually leads to poverty.
Although the underground rift is rather unique and still somewhat prosperous, what it mostly produces are consumables.
The underground minerals have already been devoured by the Rift Worm Clan, which is why the mineral reserves in the Human warehouses have long been in a critical state, even falling below the emergency line of 20%, no wonder the government is worried and wants to find a way out.
“Alright, no more nonsense, now everyone take your partner and take good care of it.”
“It’s going to be with you for at least a day!”
