Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 19: Poria and Cirsium

According to the man in the suit, the success rate of mechanical modification surgery in the space station is now over 40%.

This probability is indeed not low.

After all, even if the transformation fails, the person undergoing the operation can be resurrected again by resurrection surgery.

All he had to endure was the pain caused during the operation.

Human life itself is worthless.

"In fact, the sequelae are not a big problem."

Seeing Xie Shen remained silent, the man in the suit continued, "After being transformed into a cyborg, if you want to regret it, you only need to commit suicide. After all, we can still be resurrected by the resurrection spell."

The two technologies of 'mechanical transformation' and 'mechanical power armor' can indeed greatly enhance a person's strength.

Compared to cultivation
Judging from the description of the man in the suit alone: ​​the combat effectiveness of the cyborgs and mechas is, at best, equivalent to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

If he were to add various high-tech weapons, he might be able to compete with the cultivators in the early Jindan stage.

But that’s the upper limit.

Not to mention, the cyborgs will continue to be tortured by phantom pain.

After all, the mecha is just an external object, and the driver himself is still weak.

In view of this, Xie Shen did not show much interest in these high technologies.

After briefly dealing with the man in the suit, he turned to ask, "By the way, do you know where I can get poria, thistle, and saltpeter? The older the poria and thistle are, the better."

The path of spiritual practice is full of difficulties.

The first major hurdle is the bottleneck of breaking through from the late stage of Qi training to the foundation-building stage.

Unless you are a person of extraordinary talent and have great opportunity and luck, you may be able to make a breakthrough through your own enlightenment.

Otherwise, you will have to rely on external objects.

For example, the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Nearly 90% of cultivators in the world of cultivation achieve breakthroughs by taking foundation-building pills.

This pill is extremely precious and difficult to refine.

In order to help the sect develop better, Xie Shen, after becoming a Nascent Soul Patriarch, spent some time studying this pill recipe and successfully refined countless foundation-building pills.

So even though he has been reincarnated now, he still remembers the contents of the pill recipe in his mind.

Xie Shen had already found several kinds of spiritual herbs and plants needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in the green plant area of ​​the space station.

If there is really no such thing, use a spiritual plant with the same medicinal properties as a substitute.

Only Poria and Thistle.
Because of the high requirements for age and the fact that it must grow in a place with abundant spiritual energy, there are simply no alternative spiritual herbs or plants.

In desperation, he thought of asking the man in the suit for help.

"Poria and thistle?"

in the hall.

Hearing what Xie Shen said, the man in the suit was stunned.

He thought for a moment and replied, "The saltpeter you want is easy to get. As long as you are willing to spend points, you should be able to buy it on the black market."

"Black market?" Xie Shen asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The man in the suit explained, "It's normal to make some extra money. It's like you are in charge of the green area, and someone wants the plants grown in the green area, and you just want to earn more points. This is something you both want, so the deal is done."

"understood."

After hearing this, Xie Shen's eyes revealed understanding: the so-called "black market", to put it bluntly, is to fleece the space station to fatten itself up.

After understanding this, he asked, "Where can we find the 'black market' you mentioned?"

"There is no fixed place." The man in the suit replied: "Strictly speaking, as long as there are people trading, it can be considered a black market. After all, private transactions are strictly prohibited by the space station, so it can't be too blatant." "Understood." Xie Shen turned and asked: "What about Fu Shen and Da Ji?"

"The Poria cocos and Cirsium chinense you mentioned should be traditional Chinese medicine, right?" The man in the suit glanced at the green plant area.

He said, "In the space station, except for a few rare plants that are planted on the first floor, most of the other plants are in the green plant area on the third floor."

"And you are in charge of the green area."

"So if you don't have it, you probably won't be able to buy it anywhere else."

难啊
Xie Shen felt a headache when he heard this.

He tried to ask the man in the suit, "Then can you guys from the detachment go to the first floor and take a look? If you can get some old-year Poria and Thistle, I can use my points to buy them, or give you other benefits."

"I will definitely help you if I can." The man in the suit said with a wry smile, "But it's too difficult to get to the first floor."

"The person with the highest status in our club only works on the second level."

"We can't even get in touch with the people on the first floor. It's really hard to get in."

"Nothing"

At this point, the man in the suit suddenly changed the subject.

He smiled slyly and said, "I do have another way that might be able to help you. The key is whether you are willing to do it or not."

"Tell me what method you want to use first." Xie Shen said cautiously.

The man in the suit said, "Although the oxygen, food and water in the space station can all be self-circulated using solar energy."

"But although it is called self-circulation, it does not mean that all materials can be utilized 100%."

"Plus, the various equipment in the space station will be damaged every year."

"So if we want to keep the space station running, we have to keep replenishing supplies from the outside world."

"For example, metals and minerals, as well as oil and water, all of these need to be transported back to the surface by tugboats."

Hearing this, Xie Shen had already guessed what the man in the suit meant.

He followed the other person's words and said, "So you want me to drive a tugboat to the earth? The problem is that I can't do it."

"Don't worry about that." The man in the suit said confidently, "Technology will always develop towards simplicity and convenience."

"So driving a tugboat is definitely easier than driving a car."

"Once you're on the tugboat, you'll basically be able to do it all if someone teaches you."

The man in the suit continued, "After arriving on Earth, you will first collect all the materials you need to collect. Then you can use the rest of the time to look for something?"

"Poria and Cirsium." Xie Shen reminded.

"Yes, look for Fu Shen and Da Ji." The man in the suit said to Xie Shen, "How about it? Shall we do it?"

this.
Considering the two main ingredients, Poria and Cirsium, there is really no substitute for them in the space station.

With nothing else to do, Xie Shen decided to trust the man in the suit for the time being and take the risk of going to the surface to give it a try.

but
Before agreeing to this, he did not forget to ask carefully: "Then what do I need to pay for your help? It shouldn't be easy to get a quota to drive a tugboat to Earth, right?"

"The quota for the tugboat is not that valuable."

The man in the suit explained, "After all, this job doesn't make much money, unless you are extremely lucky and happen to pick up something valuable on the surface, but the probability of this happening is relatively small, so don't consider it."

"As for why I want to help you," the man in the suit said without hiding anything, "It's because I value your potential."

"Anyway, we'll help you get a tugboat spot, and then you'll join our separation club."

"How about it?"

　Thanks to book friend ssoo for the 1500-point reward.
