Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 460 A Rare Moment of Peace
"Do you think everyone would agree? You wouldn't be this drunk if you'd had a peanut to eat."
Wan Jiangui wailed, "Big Brother, I've performed meritorious service for you! I've been injured, I've bled, and I've never asked for anything. This is the only thing I'm asking for!"
Chen Luo's face darkened. "There's an old fortune teller under the overpass. You passed by, and he asked you what you thought you were."
Wan Jiangui was about to say, "I was asking about marriage," but then he realized that Big Brother was scolding him.
Wan Jiangui said aggrievedly, "Although Shu Yun is strong, she's bald now. I, Wan, am handsome; how am I not good enough for her? Big Brother, just say the word, and it'll definitely work."
Chen Luo's face turned black. This kid was really something. Shu Yun went bald to protect everyone in the war.
Wasn't it to protect useless people like you?
Where were you during the battle?
This kid really isn't worth much anymore. He wouldn't even be that moved if he found a demigod crystal.
Besides, could this kid even find one?
Chen Luo secretly clenched his fist, then thought, it came at the right time.
He was originally planning to experiment on a chick, but how could a chick be as useful as Wan Jiangui?
Chen Luo sneered, "Do Big Brother a favor."
Wan Jiangui felt uneasy but could only bite the bullet and agree.
A black hole appeared, and Chen Luo directly stuffed Wan Jiangui into it.
He could actually put a living thing in. In the past, the ability space would emit a huge repulsive force.
Wan Jiangui's eyes went black, and he felt like he had arrived in a gray space.
The space here was a bit like a pixel world.
Wan Jiangui shouted in shock, "Big Brother, let me out!"
Only two cubic spaces in the ability space had been modified by Chen Luo. Wan Jiangui panicked and wanted to jump around.
But it was like jumping against a hard wall; he couldn't get to other areas no matter what.
Wan Jiangui cried, "Big Brother, let me out!"
Chen Luo observed with his consciousness. He really could release him; there should be oxygen inside, right?
He'd observe for a few more days. If this kid died, he died; if he didn't, he'd be lucky.
A lab rat delivered right to his door.
This experiment was quite important. If he encountered an insurmountable danger, Chen Luo would use void walk to bring people with him, but he could only carry a few at most at a time.
However, for each person he carried, the ability consumption doubled.
If the ability space could hold people, he could just put everyone inside.
Chen Luo tried void walk and directly went to the other side of Blue Star. The ability consumption didn't increase because of Wan Jiangui.
Chen Luo was very satisfied.
Three days later.
Wan Jiangui was lying weakly on the ground in the space, no longer jumping or hopping.
It wasn't because of the ability space, but because he had nothing to eat or drink, and he was suffering physically and mentally in a small, dark space.
Chen Luo released him; if he didn't, the whole space would stink.
Three burly men were waiting for Wan Jiangui outside the door.
Wan Jiangui limped toward his small house. If Big Brother didn't agree, so be it; he'd just try.
People always had to have dreams; what if he succeeded? Anyway, he had thick skin.
Kuang Lei grabbed Wan Jiangui and said fiercely, "You dare make that kind of request to Big Brother? You don't take us seriously at all!"
"Brothers, beat him up!"
Xu Qing, Kuang Lei, and Zhao Zichen caught Wan Jiangui and beat him up.
Wan Jiangui begged for mercy, "I won't dare again, I won't dare again!"
These were all Shu Yun's suitors; would they spare Wan Jiangui?
Seeing that the ability space was effective, Chen Luo immediately began to improve it.
He would improve it to 10,000 square meters first.
It was better to be prepared, even if he didn't need it.
A huge rumbling sound rang out.
A towering tree began to move toward the base, causing the earth to shake with every step.
It was the Giant Tree.
Chen Luo took all the fruits that it had produced before the monsters descended. Chen Luo promised it that he would return the fruits it produced after the war.
But he hadn't seen Chen Luo for a long time.
The Giant Tree, which was a little impatient, came to his door himself.
"Chen Luo, you promised me."
The Giant Tree was no longer of value to Chen Luo. It couldn't produce Emperor-level fruits, and even if it did, they would be useless to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo had a large pile of corpses here, and producing thousands of fruits was definitely not a problem.
He would just kill the Giant Tree and wouldn't give it any.
It was useless to Chen Luo, but it was useful to others. If Sister Hai Ji kept eating the fruits, there shouldn't be any side effects, and her promotion wouldn't hurt anymore.
Letting the Giant Tree live for tens of thousands of years would also be good for future generations of humans.
Chen Luo nodded, "Sorry, I was delayed by something. Let's start now."
Giving it half was impossible.
Chen Luo already had an idea.
He called Jiang Chuxue and Hong Deng. Hong Deng was only at the mid-stage of the King level now, and mental interference wouldn't have much of an effect on the Giant Tree, right?
He would only interfere with the Giant Tree's sense of taste.
Ten King-level monster corpses were fed to the Giant Tree, and the Giant Tree excitedly opened its mouth and began to devour them.
Its mouths were those huge devouring buds.
Soon, the first fruit was produced, and the Giant Tree was about to stuff it into its mouth.
According to the agreement, the first few hundred fruits were all its.
Just as the fruit was about to be stuffed into the Giant Tree's mouth, Chen Luo replaced it with a large apple.
Time stood still.
He switched the Giant Tree's fruit right under its nose.
Hong Deng then interfered with the Giant Tree's illusion.
Who would have thought that the Giant Tree would still feel a little abnormal? "Why does the fruit taste wrong?"
Chen Luo lied through his teeth, "Maybe the taste is different because these monsters are used as fertilizer. I always keep my word. You've already eaten one."
The Giant Tree thought it made sense: "That makes sense."
Chen Luo couldn't help but smile.
If it was effective on the Giant Tree, Chen Luo would have let it eat it, but it wasn't effective and it still ate it. Could you blame Old Sixth Chen for fooling you?
It was a waste.
Ma Yu, Silver Wolf, Samoyed, Little Red, these guys all had low aptitude, especially Little Red. Chen Luo had put in a lot of effort, but it was only at level five now.
Otherwise, as an old-timer, would Chen Luo be willing to keep it from reaching the King level?
Hmm, there should be a way to improve talent, right?
If Little Red reached the King level, would it be too flamboyant?
"I am a little duck, quack quack quack."
Meng Yin turned into a little duck and ran happily in the field.
A field of green wheat was growing.
The base was full of laughter and joy, without worries or crises.
Life was stable and happy, and hope was at their feet.
A month later, with a time zone and a demigod crystal, Chen Luo finally reached the Emperor level.
If it were any other Emperor-level cultivator, even with a demigod crystal, it would take at least a year to reach the Emperor level.
It was too difficult. Even with talent, without resources, it was just a white tower.
And reaching the Emperor level, Chen Luo's maximum distance for using void walk reached 8 million kilometers in one fell swoop.
Landing on the moon again would be easy.
The pain during the promotion to the Emperor level was not great, only about the same as when he was promoted to the King level.
The crystals on Blue Star were all polluted by Obun, so the promotion would naturally hurt. However, Chen Luo used unpolluted demigod crystals for his promotion to the Emperor level, so it naturally didn't hurt anymore.
Chen Luo directly created a five-fold time acceleration zone, which was currently Chen Luo's limit. It wasn't that the crystal would shatter, but that he had only mastered this step.
