Chapter 730 -537 “Entropy Element” – A Whole New Direction! (6000 words)_2
In a burst of inspiration, the problem that had been troubling him for so long should have been resolved as easily as chopping vegetables.
But no matter how he thought about it, there were still some minor issues.
“Still not quite up to expectations…”
“Am I setting the bar too high for myself?” Lu Yuan frowned and looked out the window.
Ever since the six Strangers told him that the Greedy Demon God was not strong enough because its “Absolute Ability name wasn’t domineering enough,” a psychological burden had started to form.
Honestly, the Field itself, when it’s just a functional type, isn’t all that important… ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Because at the [Ghost] level of anomalies, the surrounding Idealist Interference was overwhelmingly intense. If the Greedy Demon God’s Field wasn’t strong enough, it would be suppressed—if it’s going to be suppressed anyway, then what’s the point of painstakingly creating it?
Yet avoiding interference seemed impossible, because destruction is always easier than building. A [Ghost]’s Field is effectively a chaotic, idealist distortion—a tangled mess of knotted threads.
So the moment a [Ghost] got close, you could feel its distortion and chaos.
The Greedy Demon God could, of course, mimic this and create a chaotic Field to suppress others, but such a function would barely bully the weak… against strong opponents, the effectiveness would be rather limited.
Thinking along these lines, even with an abundance of inspiration, Lu Yuan still found it hard to proceed.
“This really is quite tough…”
After hours of intense thinking, he grabbed a bite to eat and stepped out of the room again.
The government meeting happened to have just ended, and they had decided to extend the short holiday period to three days.
Of course, since the outside world was still unexplored, no one was planning any tourism; instead, having a snowball fight in Green Grass City to liven things up seemed like a good idea.
In Human 18th Civilization, the number of craftsmen had reached 74: 30 human craftsmen, 22 Rat Artisans, and now, with the newest additions, 22 Blue Peng Craftsmen. These folks were quite pampered, gathering together every day to chat and exchange thoughts.
“Great Commander, I’ve had a breakthrough!”
“Is this what it feels like to have a burst of inspiration?!”
“I think I’ve had one too!!”
“Awooo~”
Unexpectedly, one human and two Birdmen all experienced bursts of inspiration on the same day, throwing the camp into a scene of chaos.
In hindsight, it wasn’t all that surprising. Among them, the Lanpeng elites had been hit hardest by recent events.
The Lanpeng Civilization had gone extinct so abruptly, it felt like just yesterday they were still dreaming of building an interstellar civilization.
Yet today, they had officially said goodbye to 8 million of their compatriots and stepped into an entirely new phase of life. In such tumultuous circumstances, it was, indeed, the most likely time for inspiration to strike.
Of course, inspiration tied to personal fate was generally of the “low” or “middle” level, and achieving a high-level breakthrough was much harder.
“What’s the artistic theme?”
“‘Day of Departure.’ We’ve finally embarked on a new journey of life!” The Birdman held up his forging tools, his enthusiasm evident.
“That’s a pretty good theme. You need to connect personal fate with the fate of civilization! Only then can the inspiration truly transcend.” A Rat Artisan shared his tips. Although they were envious and jealous, they wouldn’t slack off at crucial moments.
“What are you planning to forge?”
“I don’t know yet.”
Actually, what they really wanted to make was a dream contact tool, so they could call their loved ones at any time.
However, such functionality was quite difficult to achieve—at least requiring a Superior Level skill set, which was beyond what the Lanpeng people were capable of.
Lu Yuan glanced at them from afar but didn’t rush over to offer advice.
He had his own worries to deal with, and letting them think independently might not be a bad thing.
“Lu Yuan, when are you going to let the Brother Rats borrow a bit of your civilization’s Qi Fortune?”
“Escaping from the [Ghost]s was a big deal—how come we didn’t have a burst of inspiration?!” Shu Gongye ran over eagerly, his whiskers trembling. “We were the first to join your side, so where’s the Qi Fortune?”
“Nonsense! When escaping from Ghost City, did you contribute anything?” Lu Yuan retorted, not holding back.
The Ratmen immediately looked sheepish. It seemed they were too busy trembling… indeed, they hadn’t contributed anything at all.
“If you want to borrow some Qi Fortune, participate more in the labor.” Lu Yuan pointed into the distance. “Look at that turtle—so patient. Are you patient enough to play with a crowd of children?”
The hearty laughter of the Undying Giant Turtle echoed from afar.
The reason Mr. Turtle had grown so enormous was partially attributed to its consistently good mood.
The Ratmen’s expressions instantly turned sour. What kind of comparison was this? Who could compete with a turtle in patience?
Lu Yuan added, “Now look at that Little Mirage Dragon—so diligent!”
“If you had one-tenth its work ethic, your inspiration would be overflowing.”
The Little Mirage Dragon supervised the humans with more dedication than Lu Yuan himself. It wanted to lend a hand in any matter, big or small.
If an elderly person slipped and fell, it would rush over to exhale a breath of air and help them up.
If a large truck was fully loaded, it would think of a way to unload it.
On top of that, it could breathe both fire and ice, making it quite versatile. Many laboratories found it useful, occasionally drawing its blood or asking for a scale or two.
Recently, with the Little Mirage Dragon’s growing strength, a certain component in its blood—Z element—had skyrocketed in concentration. It had even become the subject of a new research project and was proving to have significant value.
“Apparently, this Z element is pretty incredible! It might even allow someone to break through limits and become a Level 8 warrior. Does this count as forging a path forward?” Lu Yuan commented, visibly interested.
The Rat Artisans were immediately speechless. What Level 8 warrior, what Level 9 warrior—under their current conditions, those only meant slightly longer lifespans.
