Devouring the Starry Sky begins with the battle of geniuses

Chapter 104 Loan upgrade, war game

"Mr. Xingluo, the reaction was successful! This time the purification rate exceeded 80.00%, a new record!"

"Yes, Mr. Xingluo, now the other A-levels have nothing to say. You have proven your ability! I am extremely convinced that your research direction is the future direction!"

In a research room of the institute, several researchers in white coats surrounded Xing Luo, their faces filled with admiration.

More than three years have passed since Hunzhen "breakthrough" the Territory Lord.

A genius who was able to escape from the hands of seventh-level domain masters at the cosmic level has now broken through and become a domain lord.

If there is such a person who is willing to help a researcher, naturally no one dares to mess with him and there will be no obstruction.

Xing Luo's status is very high, but in fact, most people in the institute have no impression of this "high".

Because it involves a "scandal", this part of the information is naturally withheld.

When the lower-level employees in the original research institute saw that Xing Luo was being squeezed out, they naturally did not dare to get close to him.

But now that there is a Domain Lord-level strongman working as an assistant for Xing Luo, all these worries have naturally become lighter.

Gradually, some people took the initiative to show their kindness to Xing Luo and the two, which also made it easier for Xing Luo to proactively win the support of others.

And once Xing Luo is given a chance, this young researcher can quickly win over many fans with his extraordinary scientific research ability.

"Hey, Hun Zhen, this is freshly purified Mo Luo fruit, don't you want to try it?"

However, Xing Luo waved away the compliments and threw a red magic fruit at Hun Zhen, who was bored.

"Don't."

Hunzhen rolled her eyes and quickly threw the fruit back.

Xing Luo's main research object is the Mo Luo Fruit. As an assistant, he is naturally familiar with the properties of this thing.

The value of the magic fruit increases hundreds or thousands of times according to the color scale.

Above gray and white are silver and black. Silver and black belong to the same level and are of similar value, and above that is the bright red.

According to Xing Luo, on top of the bright red color, there is a pure and transparent crystal-like Moruo Fruit, but with the current level of technology, it is impossible to purify and produce it.

In terms of energy density alone, the rate of increase in color level transition is basically the same.The reason for the increase in value is due to differences in energy utilization and digestion efficiency, as well as the fact that some flesh and blood technologies require higher density of Mora Fruit.

So much so that demand exceeds supply, so there is a research project to purify the magic fruit even at the expense of energy.

The value of this kind of magic fruit purified through scientific and technological means is the lowest among the same color class, but it is still worth tens of thousands of years of salary of the assistant of the research institute.

One purification experiment cost enough money to hire hundreds or even thousands of new assistants, so Hunzhen had to lament the cost of research.

Due to the huge flow of interests, it is not uncommon for people to enrich themselves and compete for power.

Xingluo can use the magic fruit produced by the experiment for subsequent experiments, but giving it to his subordinates and friends openly and openly will obviously require punishment and compensation.

"Based on my current research progress, a Red Devil Fruit is not a big deal."

During the break, Xing Luo found Hun Zhen again to chat.

He obviously knew this, but he just responded with an indifferent smile.

"Oh? It's going well?"

Hunzhen asked curiously: "Then...where is the 'that' you care about most?"

Hearing this, Xing Luo shook his head with regret: "This bottleneck cannot be overcome in a day or two. Haha, but if that day comes, I will definitely take you to see it first!"

"it is good!"

Hunzhen responded with a bright smile.

The person referred to as "that" is naturally a spaceship that is not popular in the abyss.

Xing Luo had briefly revealed to him that after these two projects were conquered, he planned to use the funds from the research institute to indirectly develop mechanical technology in the name of "upgrading the feather ship" and "testing the feasibility of the feather ship's space shuttle capability."

And allowing his spaceship to travel through space in the abyss is Xingluo's next step in breaking through the sky.

Hunzhen has no position or ability to give advice, so she can only give blessings silently.

Xing Luo patted Hun Zhen on the shoulder and changed the topic: "Hun Zhen, you have fulfilled your promise. With your current ability, you probably don't need my extra help, right? But if there is any need, , just bring it up. There is no need to talk about it between you and me. "

Xing Luo has basically gained a foothold, and the hidden meaning of such words is that even if Hunzhen is not around, the remaining details can be solved with his own ability.

Hunzhen looked at Xingluo deeply, and then spoke.

"You said I fulfilled my promise, are you really sure you don't need my help anymore?"

"I have experienced the assassination of a Domain Lord-level powerhouse, so I know very well that the enemy you face can easily use Domain Lord-level power."

"Those guys are holding back now. It's not that they can't deal with you. It's possible that they just don't have their hands free for the time being."

Hunzhenyu talked about the disadvantages of leaving now like a barrage of bullets.

After so many years, as his only friend in the abyss, Hun Zhen naturally expressed concern.

Xing Luo spread his hands and smiled, saying: "If it is true as you said, you cannot handle such an enemy alone, Hun Zhen."

Hunzhen was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, don't worry about me blindly."

Xing Luo shrugged: "Although I haven't said it explicitly, you also know that my identity is not ordinary. They will only hinder my goals and disgust me on the way to my dreams. Even if someone really does something to me , and it will definitely not endanger my life. On the other hand, if you are really involved, even if you are now at the Domain Lord level, I am afraid you will not be able to escape death."

He sighed softly and patted Hun Zhen's shoulder: "Brother, it's enough for you to help me get here. How many times have you taken risks in order to help me gain a foothold faster? I know you will. You say this also has the purpose of wanting to climb up to strength and power as soon as possible... But for now, I am the real beneficiary. You are right, you just owe the true dragon that can take off with a ray of east wind. Dongfeng doesn’t have to be me. Even without my help, it’s just a matter of time before you get here. You’ve already paid off the small favor I brought you to the ninth floor. The remaining difficulties should not be yours. I have to deal with it myself."

Hunzhen looked at Xing Luo and was speechless for a long time.

Finally, he nodded.

The resignation procedures were completed quickly.

In Xingluo's high-end single-room dormitory, the two were saying their final goodbyes.

"Hunzhen, you haven't told me what your plan is? If you want to make friends with the abyss nobles... I do have one or two ways, although not many."

"Walking the way you did will cost a lot of favors, right? I don't think those abyss nobles want to see you."

"Haha, it's okay. When you say that, it seems like you don't plan to rely on this method anymore?" "Yeah."

Hunzhen nodded, clinked glasses with Xing Luo and took a sip, saying, "I want to participate in the Great Martial Arts Festival."

"Really?"

Xing Luo looked like he had seen everything and sighed: "This road is not easy to walk."

Participating in the Great Martial Arts Festival means competing head-on with many abyss nobles.

In that situation, personal strength is not the most important thing.Of course, if you really have overwhelming power, that's another story.His fists are so big that he can directly change the rules with force, so he can naturally solve all problems head-on.

But without this kind of power, one would have to consider the issues that must be considered after defeating those abyss nobles in the great martial arts festival.

According to folklore, the Great Fighting Festival is the only way for lower races to break down class barriers, but in fact, which of the contestants does not have the support and background of the abyss nobles?
Most of those who did not choose to be attached or submit disappeared silently during the game.

If a member of a lower-class race born in Baiding wants to get a winning spot, he must go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and face the sniping, targeting, and embarrassment of countless abyss nobles.

After spending time together, Xing Luo also became familiar with this friend's character. He was not a master who was willing to be a slave and a maidservant and a dog for the nobles.

"Aren't you the same?"

Hun Zhen couldn't help but rolled her eyes and asked.

Xing Luo suddenly laughed: "Well, it seems that we are really brothers and sisters."

After joking with each other, Xing Luo said: "There are two main ways to obtain the Great Martial Arts Festival. Let me guess which one you chose... Ha, well, there is no need to guess. You should be Are you thinking of joining the army first and then getting the winning spot in the Little Martial Arts Festival?"

His thoughts were directly shattered. He looked at Xing Luo with a slightly proud expression and smacked his mouth: "Tsk, I really can't hide it from you. Why, is there something specifically warning me about you with this expression on your face?"

Xing Luo nodded slightly: "I know you can't be persuaded, so I won't persuade you not to join the army. But before that, I have to tell you the cruelty of the abyss battlefield, otherwise I will wait for you hundreds of years later After the research results came out, I found out that you died in battle. I guess I couldn’t sleep well for several days.”

"So if I die, you will be sad for a few days. What do you mean? What do you mean?" Hun Zhen couldn't help but complain.

"I've said everything that needs to be said, but you still want to die, what can I do?"

Xing Luo helplessly spread his hands and finally started talking about the main topic.

"Hunzhen, do you know what the war on the tenth-level abyss battlefield is called by those nobles?"

"Hey, it seems there is an allusion here. What is it called?"

Xing Luo put down his wine glass, paused, and replied meaningfully: "'War Game'."

Hun Zhen raised her eyebrows.

Xing Luo continued: "There are no so-called rules in a real war between two royal families, and there will not be a special layer as a battlefield. It will last for millions, tens of millions, hundreds of billions of years like a custom... A real war When it breaks out, it is done silently, and every method is used to weaken the opponent's effective strength as much as possible. The so-called abyss battlefield on the tenth level is just a trial ground used by the abyss royal family to vent their desire to kill and to train the younger generation. .”

"But this trial ground is only for the abyss nobles. For us inferior races, the abyss battlefield is just a huge meat grinder. There are countless idiots who have been brainwashed by faith and think that nobles die in battle for glory, or like you, they are eager to climb The careerists at the peak of power have invested in it one after another, and they can't even stir up a wave. If you have a high EQ, you are noble warriors and soldiers who died for glory. If you have a low EQ, you are just cannon fodder that no one will care about."

"Even so, do you still want to go? To participate in this group of nobles' war game."

Hunzhen just nodded slightly, her expression not wavering at all.

"If you ask me, with your talent, work hard to increase your influence. There is no need to go to the abyss battlefield. You can wait for the next great martial arts festival in 1 years..."

Xing Luo looked at Hun Zhen's expression and scratched his scalp in distress: "Ah, forget it, my persuasion is in vain."

He sighed and pushed out a silver nameplate.

This silver nameplate depicts a majestic silver ghost. Its appearance can be called handsome even by pure human aesthetics. It exudes an intoxicating atmosphere. The silver ghost depicted is lifelike, as if it really has the characteristics of life. , it should be drilled out from the nameplate.

It's worth a glance.

Not only the value, Hunzhen also saw the rhythm of space laws on the nameplate. This may be a treasure that can accelerate the understanding of space laws.

"This is an identity plate with my unique life breath. Even if it is snatched away, it will be useless. Only if I actively release a ray of original energy can it be used as an effective proof of identity. On the abyss battlefield, an abyss nobleman has some connection with me. . Seeing a card is like seeing a person. You can rely on it to contact them for help when necessary. However, unless you are really in a desperate situation, it is best not to use it. Although the noble Lord will help you once because of the nameplate, It doesn’t mean he doesn’t hate me.”

"This……"

How could Hun Zhen not understand the value of this thing?
But seeing Xing Luo's sincere expression, he still nodded and chose to accept it, and listened carefully to some information about how to use this identity plate and some information about the noble.

"Xingluo, I also have a parting gift for you."

Under Xing Luo's doubtful gaze, Hunzhen gently snapped her fingers: "Aneng."

A ball of liquid metal material then appeared.

"This is!?"

Xing Luo looked at the metal life in front of him, his pupils were shaking, and he blurted out: "Abyssal beast?"

Hunzhen is no longer the unknown outsider she was at first.

Abyssal beasts were monsters that he had heard about on the first level of the abyss, wandering in the wild.

The truth is that it is an abyss creature born from the hatching of the Mara Fruit, with no intelligence and only the desire to kill.

"It's not an abyssal beast."

Hunzhen paused and explained: "Xing Luo, actually I lied to you. That day, I didn't get nothing from the position of the meteor falling from the sky. And that gain was exactly him, a person who signed a soul contract with me strange life."

With Xing Luo's wisdom, he could be sure that it was definitely not an abyssal beast as long as he spent some time with the Angel.

The reason for the suspicion and speculation now is simply because in this abyss, Yixing Luo has never seen such a life form before.

Basically, this type of creature will eventually be recognized as a new variant of the Abyssal Beast.

Seeing such a strange life, Xing Luo couldn't help but be curious, and tentatively stretched out his hand towards the metallic liquid.

Suddenly, the pool of liquid began to flow gurglingly, and a big green eye appeared. Xing Luo was startled and retracted his hand.

And asked: "And now, you want to lend it to me?"

Hunzhen nodded: "Aneng specializes in defense. Even if you are attacked by an ordinary ninth-level domain master, he can protect you perfectly."

Xing Luo shook his head: "Since you chose to join the army, you need it more than me."

Hun Zhen smiled and said: "You gave me such a big gift. How can we be friends without courtesy? Besides, I don't need its protection anymore."

The powerful aura of the fifth level Domain Lord level was quietly revealed.
