Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 432 If It Were Shifu
Before coming, Chen Luo had said this was a test, and Chen Luo was watching from the side.
Could he get away with his lies?
That sentence, "The rice grain is mine," he should have only said it in his heart. Chen Luo didn't hear it, right?
Gu Changfeng looked at the red light again. What the hell was that thing? He clearly knew it was an illusion, but he still fell for it?
Chen Luo chuckled and patted Gu Changfeng's trembling shoulder.
"You're really something, kid, always saying such heartfelt things. I'm very satisfied. Here, this wind-element crystal is for you."
This kid must not be allowed to stay. He actually had designs on Mi Li.
Gu Changfeng's left and right arms had betrayed him and actively sought refuge with Chen Luo. Chen Luo, seeing that a future King-level was rare, took him in.
Gu Changfeng had always been quite honest, and back then, Mi Fan hadn't detected anything unusual.
He'd use Gu Changfeng to exploit a bug.
"Alright, start absorbing it."
Gu Changfeng snapped out of his fear, stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He had gotten away with it! Otherwise, this crystal wouldn't be given to him.
Gu Changfeng nodded repeatedly.
Soon, Gu Changfeng had absorbed his fill.
Time acceleration: a day passed in an instant, and Gu Changfeng could absorb again.
The time for absorbing crystals couldn't be accelerated with such crude and simple time manipulation. Chen Luo could only wait.
Everyone else had finished the test and returned.
Gu Changfeng realized something was wrong. Why was he the only one left behind?
At that moment, Yin Ling happily ran over, skipping and jumping.
"Master, I feel like I'm about to break through!"
Chen Luo's face changed, and he smiled kindly. "Is that so?"
Chen Luo gave Yin Ling a fruit. This was his precious disciple, doted on by both the chief and deputy leaders.
Yin Ling asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Chen Luo explained it, and Yin Ling said, "Let me try?"
It sounded quite mysterious, and Yin Ling was very curious.
Chen Luo thought for a moment. It was good to test Yin Ling's willpower.
Besides, what would Yin Ling's performance be in the red light's illusion?
You better not disappoint your master.
Five minutes later.
The seated Yin Ling's face began to turn pale.
"My face, my face is ruined! Damn it, how can I face Master now?"
After a while, not knowing what she was dreaming, Yin Ling's face flushed.
"We're master and disciple... is this okay?"
"If it's Master, then it's not..."
Chen Luo's face darkened. He forcibly stopped the red light and lightly kicked Yin Ling, telling her to leave quickly.
Yin Ling ran away like a little rabbit, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chen Luo sighed. What was that talk? What kind of scandalous words were those?
Two hours later, after absorbing crystals more than twenty times, Gu Changfeng's face suddenly changed drastically, and he clutched his head in pain.
Gu Changfeng had some perseverance, but he was still in so much pain that he rolled on the ground.
Chen Luo watched coldly. Gu Changfeng's performance was more painful than other King-levels.
Was this the side effect?
Fortunately, Gu Changfeng wasn't killed by the pain. Just as he was breathing heavily, he was suddenly ambushed by Chen Luo.
Chen Luo beat him while cursing, "You want to be a Cao Cao? That's too outrageous!"
He beat him for half a minute before finally killing Gu Changfeng.
Chen Luo didn't use his full strength. If he had used the Dimensional Blade, it would only have taken a few seconds, but the consumption would have been significant.
At this time, if there were twenty or so King-levels nearby, they wouldn't just stand by and watch Chen Luo beat Gu Changfeng. He would be attacked from all sides.
A King-level one-on-one was no match for an Emperor-level; they would be completely crushed. But a group of King-levels might not be so easy to deal with.
While opening Gu Changfeng's brain, Chen Luo also took back the King-level wind-element crystal he had given Gu Changfeng earlier.
This crystal still had about one-third of its energy left.
Because it was a wind-element crystal suitable for Gu Changfeng, he could advance without a complete King-level crystal.
Chen Luo had previously obtained 96 crystals. If he distributed them according to category, he could create at least 130 King-levels.
In his previous life, survivors who obtained King-level crystals knew that these were extremely rare treasures. They would definitely absorb them and then trade with others for crystals of the same element.
Under Chen Luo's unified arrangement, this could be achieved.
The first batch of level 10 members had all been tested. Chen Luo took Gu Changfeng's body to the giant tree.
The giant tree was devouring the corpses of seafood. Chen Luo observed it. From the outside, the giant tree hadn't changed much since the first time he saw it.
The tree trunk hadn't grown taller, and the color hadn't changed.
The giant tree was very happy to see Chen Luo. "Cooperating with you is truly the right choice. Such high-level food keeps coming!"
Chen Luo asked directly, "Has your strength changed at all?"
Chen Luo had really kept his promise and split the fruits equally. Chen Luo had distributed 45 fruits, meaning the giant tree had also received 45 fruits.
The giant tree also had dual abilities: darkness and lightning.
The first time they met, even though the giant tree had just advanced to the King-level, so many fruits should have been enough for the giant tree to advance to the Emperor-level.
Mi Li had only eaten 24 fruits to reach the Emperor-level!
If the giant tree advanced to the Emperor-level, Chen Luo hoped it could improve efficiency, such as being able to produce a fruit from two King-level corpses, produce Emperor-level fruits, or possess fruits with other magical abilities.
The giant tree said, "I clearly feel that my strength has greatly improved, but it seems to be stuck at a certain point and cannot continue to improve."
Chen Luo's face sank. Could it be that the giant tree's talent was limited and it couldn't grow to the Emperor-level?
If that were the case, it would be terrible news.
The giant tree said, "You prepaid ten fruits last time. Prepay me ten fruits this time as well, and I'll see if there's any change."
Chen Luo nodded. "Alright."
Anyway, there was no shortage of fruits, and Chen Luo sincerely hoped that the giant tree could reach the Emperor-level.
At first, Chen Luo had considered killing the giant tree, but now he didn't. A living giant tree was far stronger than a dead one.
Chen Luo thought to himself that the fruits produced by the seafood wouldn't be given to the members but distributed to Fa Wang.
After Fa Wang advanced, there would definitely be some left over.
Mi Li and Hai Ji had also advanced to the Emperor-level. Mi Fan said she didn't need crystals.
Who would be the next Emperor-level candidate?
Jiang Chuxue, with her time element. If she reached the Emperor-level, the effect of time stop would likely be greatly enhanced.
Compared to Mi Ling and Su Dazhu, Jiang Chuxue was undoubtedly more suitable, even though she wasn't the closest to him.
Chen Luo sighed. Su Dazhu was his brother, after all.
And Mi Ling was... his sister-in-law.
It didn't matter. They could wait a little longer. He would let them advance after killing some monsters.
Chen Luo left the lightning-element crystals separately for Fa Wang: 15 crystals.
The members provided intelligence to Dog Killer, and Dog Killer completing the tasks couldn't be simpler. It was effortless.
Chen Luo was responsible for being the transportation, carrying Fa Wang.
When there were no missions, Fa Wang would absorb and digest the crystals in the time zone.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
