World version update

Chapter 69: Taking medicine to cultivate immortality?

Something is wrong!
Lu Yan's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression began to become serious.

After he completed the version update, he went through a series of events including capturing black people, traveling around the ground streets, and entering the underground caves, which took at least five hours.

Normally, the version update progress is based on a three-month period, which means that 0.1% of the version update progress is approximately equal to more than two hours.

But now more than five hours have passed, and the version update progress is still 0.1%, which made Lu Yan immediately realize that something was wrong.

"The recharge speed of the world version update has changed, which means that I will stay in the Cyber ​​version for more than three months!"

By extending his stay in the apocalyptic version, Lu Yan can harvest zombie souls and sacrifice soul flags to earn merit.

If it were the Xianxia version, Lu Yan could also seize the time to speed up his practice and improve his cultivation.

But now it happens to be the cyber version, a version that made Lu Yan lose control, and it actually extended the version's stay time.

It seems that since the version update, something has been targeting me.

This suddenly reminded Lu Yan of the photo that caused a 1% version change in the Xianxia version.

"Could it be that because of the commotion caused by the Xianxia version, I was targeted by the Xianxia Heavenly Dao?"

A bold idea came to Lu Yan's mind.

This is just Lu Yan's guess, and there is no way to confirm the reason.

However, the sense of crisis in his heart still made Lu Yan extremely vigilant.

"The most urgent task is to settle down as soon as possible and improve our strength, so that we can be confident to deal with any possible crisis at any time."

After shutting down the terminal, Lu Yan spoke to Quentin who was still fiddling with the psychic battery:

"I need a place to stay."

Quentin looked a little hesitant, then whispered:

“You can build residences in the cave at will, and no approval procedures are required.

Once the building is completed, you will pay a building fee to the City Tax Bureau based on the materials and floor area of ​​the residence, and then pay a fixed amount of land tax every month. "

Quentin's words reminded Lu Yan of the houses built with garbage that he saw on the road when he came here.

“Those houses made of garbage are.”

“That’s a rubbish house that uses the worst materials to reduce construction costs and property taxes.

Some garbage builders can even build houses according to requirements with a minimum property tax of 10 credit points per month. "

Lu Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He thought the cave dwellers lived in difficult conditions, but it turned out they were trying to legally avoid taxes.

The more Lu Yan came into contact with this cyber version, the more he realized that it was really impossible to get anywhere here without money.

"No need to build, find me a ready-made place to live in, with a better environment."

As he spoke, Lu Yan pointed at the psychic battery.

"The personal terminal, room fees, and Green Rose's guide fee will all be deducted from that psychic battery."

As soon as Lu Yan said this, Quentin immediately became interested.

He originally thought that Lu Yan was a famous person from another city, and his previous personal terminal was just a way to avoid disaster.

But he didn't expect Lu Yan to be so abiding by the rules and take out the precious sixth-generation psychic battery for trading, which made Quentin very excited.

After starting up his personal terminal, Quentin projected an electronic map on the terminal, and a three-dimensional cave appeared in front of Lu Yan.

"This is the map of Cave No. 71. The locations marked in orange are all the houses that meet your requirements. You can choose any one you like, sir."

Lu Yan looked at the map and suddenly a huge building that looked like a castle caught his eye.

This castle-like building covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters and seems to be out of place with the surrounding shabby and short houses, but this huge building is also marked in orange, and it is also a house that can be selected.

Pointing at the building, Lu Yan asked:
"what is that?"

Quentin took a look and said, "This is the site of the underground pharmaceutical factory that was once built by the Jiulong Group. After the Jiulong Group was acquired by the Universal Corporation, the underground pharmaceutical factory was exposed to the eyes of the City Taxation Bureau and was fined tens of billions.

The underground pharmaceutical factory could not afford it and declared bankruptcy, and the factory was auctioned off by the court.

“The underground factory, which was exposed to the city tax bureau, has lost its value, and the land in the cave is worthless. Even if it is bought and renovated, it has no value, so the factory has been unsold several times.

It wasn't until a few years ago that the court ruled that downtown residents could rent underground pharmaceutical factories as long as they paid property taxes on time.

But the factory occupies such a large area that some people calculated that the land tax alone is more than 50,000 credit points per month. No one is willing to spend this money, so it has been vacant for a long time. "

After listening to Quentin's explanation, Lu Yan became somewhat interested.

Now that he had decided to study the formation patterns and psychic codes, Lu Yan needed a suitable venue.

The psychic code is okay and does not have high requirements for the environment, but the formation patterns from the fairy-tale version have much higher requirements for the environment.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in the cyber version is thin, and Lu Yan needs external spiritual energy supply whether he is practicing or researching formations.

A larger place can be used to place spiritual marrow ore to form a low-level spiritual vein, which can then be combined with a spirit gathering array to create a spiritual practice environment.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan suddenly realized a problem.

The spiritual energy in the cyber version is almost as thin as that in the urban version, but in such a thin spiritual environment, a psychic system and psychic codes comparable to fairy-tale formations were born. This is an extremely unreasonable thing.

You have to know that even if a psychic tattoo borrows psychic energy, the premise of all this is that there is external psychic energy supply.

Without psychic energy supply, no matter how powerful the psychic code or psychic tattoo is, it is just an ordinary picture.

In the Xianxia version, it is still possible to control it with external spiritual energy, but in the cyber version where the spiritual energy is thin, even absorbing spiritual energy from the outside has become a luxury.

Lu Yan frowned, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something very important.

His eyes fell on Quentin again, and Lu Yan said:

"Let's put the housing issue aside for now. I have a question I want to ask you."

Seeing this, Quentin immediately turned serious and waited for Lu Yan to ask questions.

"Where does spiritual energy come from?"

Quentin was stunned, as if he had heard some stupid joke.

He kept looking at Lu Yan, and after confirming that Lu Yan was not joking with him, he scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face and said:
“All the spiritual energy in the world comes from the Universal Corporation.

The Universal Corporation controls all psychic energy. If people want to borrow psychic energy, they can only engrave the psychic energy code belonging to the Universal Corporation and borrow psychic energy from the Universal Corporation."

As he spoke, Quentin reached out and moved a machine on the counter, turning on a switch with a psychic code printed on it.

Lu Yan noticed that the psychic code on the switch looked like a hand holding up a planet, which looked quite strange.

The next moment, abundant spiritual energy suddenly burst out from the symbol like a fountain.

Lu Yan looked at the gushing spiritual energy and subconsciously practiced his martial arts. Then the violent spiritual energy was directly absorbed by the martial arts and transformed into magic power that merged into his dantian.

"There is no need to move the Zhou Tian, ​​but to directly integrate it into the mana?"

Lu Yan was a little dazed.

Even the high-quality elixirs in the fairy-tale version accelerate the absorption and circulation of spiritual energy to increase magic power.

However, this spiritual energy and magic power have the same origin and only require a slight transformation, completely eliminating the most complicated process of circulation.

How could this effect be caused by taking drugs? This was simply the infusion of magical powers by a senior master!

A bunch of bold ideas subconsciously came to Lu Yan's mind, and then he heard Quentin continue to speak:

“These are all industrial psychic energies. They are too violent to be mobilized with the help of psychic tattoos and can only be used for industrial production.

It is said that in the middle and upper city areas, there are various drugs mixed with pure psychic energy to make psychic energy extraction injections. Just one injection can not only strengthen the body, but also replenish the psychic energy consumed by high-level psychics. "

Lu Yan was stunned and blurted out a word subconsciously.

"Take medicine to cultivate immortality?"
