World version update

Chapter 73: Isn’t it just that I sell medicine?
"Psychic tax?"

Lu Yan then narrowed his eyes and looked at Quentin in front of him, with a hint of displeasure in his expression, and an invisible pressure suddenly spread.

"I remember when I rented this factory, I reserved half a year's worth of psychic tax in advance based on the monthly quota of 30,000 credit points, and I also put this matter in your charge.

It's already overdue in just one and a half months, are you trying to make fun of me?"

"Pfft!"

Quentin fell to his knees with a bang, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

After using the psychic code, Quentin had only just reached the first level of Qi training. How could he face the powerful pressure from someone close to the foundation-building stage?
He looked miserable and explained hurriedly:
"Sir, I'm really not deceiving you!"

"The underground pharmaceutical factory collects 30,000 spiritual energy taxes a month, and that is just to maintain the most basic operation. If the industrial-grade spiritual energy used is too large, the spiritual energy tax will naturally increase accordingly.

After receiving that valuable knowledge from you, I put all my energy into studying it and ignored the matters concerning the factory.

As a result, today, I received a message on my personal terminal that the underground pharmaceutical factory's psychic tax was seriously exceeded, and my personal account was not enough to pay the huge amount of psychic tax. The tax will be paid in half a month.

If the spiritual energy tax is overdue, I will be fined a huge amount and sent to the Heavenly Computing Center to pay off my debt!"

At this point, Quentin's eyes showed horror.

Seeing that Quentin didn't seem to be faking it, Lu Yan's brows relaxed slightly and the pressure dissipated.

Quentin, who had regained his freedom, quickly raised his personal terminal and pulled up the psychic tax bill. Clear data appeared in front of Lu Yan.

[Underground Pharmaceutical Factory's July Spiritual Energy Tax: 367710.63 Credit Points]

[The psychic tax of the underground pharmaceutical factory in August is currently: 523662.07 credit points]

At the same time, Quentin also put his account balance in front of Lu Yan.

Balance: 5600 credits.

Lu Yan's eyes suddenly widened and he could no longer remain calm.

"More than 900,000 credits? Are you sure this bill is correct?"

Quentin nodded with a bitter look on his face:

"I even went to the City Tax Bureau to check, and it was confirmed that there was no problem with the psychic tax.

In fact, according to the credit points you stored before, they should have been all used up as early as last month. It’s just that the trading account was bound to my personal terminal, and the psychic tax was deducted from my account balance last month, so I never noticed it.

It was not until today when my personal terminal reminded me that my account balance was insufficient to pay the psychic energy tax that I noticed that the psychic energy tax was seriously exceeded. "

At this point, Quentin couldn't help but sigh.

When renting the underground pharmaceutical factory, Lu Yan, for the sake of safety, directly asked Quentin to handle the formalities in his own name, and the payment was also linked to Quentin's account.

Quentin was naturally very happy to have inherited the compiler's knowledge, and he agreed immediately.

Who would have thought that in just a month or two, all the wealth he had accumulated over more than ten years would be wiped out, and he still owed more than half a million in spiritual energy tax debts that had to be paid off before the end of the month.

Quentin secretly regretted why he was blinded by the knowledge passed down by those compilers?

Now he could only hope that Lu Yan could pay to make up for the hole of more than 500,000 spiritual energy taxes. If the other party did not take action, he would probably have to go to the Heaven Computing Power Center.

Thinking of this, the anxious Quentin couldn't help but ask:
"What on earth did you do in the underground pharmaceutical factory? Even the industrial-level psychic energy consumption of the pharmaceutical factory at its peak might not be able to catch up with you."

Lu Yan looked slightly embarrassed.

I thought it was Quentin who was doing things secretly, but I didn't expect that Quentin was the unlucky guy.

During this one and a half month of training, the psychic energy transmission system in the factory was almost working at full capacity.

The first month was still fine. Lu Yan's cultivation level had broken through from the fifth level of Qi training. However, due to his relatively low level of cultivation, his efficiency in breathing in and out spiritual energy was not very high.

After being promoted to the eleventh level of Qi training, Lu Yan focused all his energy on breaking through the twelfth level of Qi training. His spiritual energy breathing efficiency increased sharply, and even the factory's spiritual energy transmission system was sometimes in short supply.

Thinking carefully about the consumption over the past few days, Lu Yan felt that the 900,000 spiritual energy tax bill seemed quite reasonable.

According to the calculation that one spirit stone can be transformed into a psychic battery in the version update, 900,000 psychic taxes are equivalent to nine spirit stones. This price is no longer a bargain.

However, only Lu Yan, who is an unchanging person, can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Looking at Quentin's sad face, Lu Yan said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, I will pay for the extra psychic tax."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Quentin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Lu, do you have any credit points now?" "No." Lu Yan spread his hands very straightforwardly.

"Sir, do you have any valuable items like the sixth generation psychic battery?"

"Neither this?"

The smile Quentin had just revealed suddenly froze.

"But I can sell a few more copies of the Psionics Code Fundamentals."

A copy of the basics of psychic code can be exchanged for 500,000 credit points. The city is so large that there must be many half-baked compilers like Quentin.

Selling "Psionics Code Basics" a few more times would not only fill this hole easily, but might even make a fortune to solve the future psychic tax problem.

After all, Lu Yan will stay in the cyber version for half a year, and the credit points he will need later will inevitably be more.

But what Lu Yan didn't expect was that after putting forward this idea, Quentin shook his head decisively.

"Mr. Lu, I advise you not to do this."

"why?"

“Compiler knowledge is not rare in the upper city, and it can even be purchased at a roadside bookstore.

The value of the knowledge of the compilers in the Lower Town lies in the fact that it is a knowledge blockade of the Lower Town by the Upper Town.

The upper city will not allow the complete knowledge of compilers to flow to the lower city, which makes the relevant knowledge expensive.

If you sell them in large quantities and someone reports you, you will be investigated by the Upper City Law Enforcement Officers, and the only outcome will be that you will end up in Heaven Computing Center."

Lu Yan frowned slightly when he heard this.

He has a lot of things on him that are of extremely high value in the cyber version, whether it is spirit stones, formation inheritance, or elixirs, any of them can fill the gap in spiritual energy tax.

But the problem is that this cyber version is too distorted, and the intelligent God is mysterious and unpredictable, so Lu Yan dare not take out these things recklessly.

As a result, earning credit points becomes a hassle.

"These things are too conspicuous in downtown. Should we sell some of them in Midtown?"

As soon as this thought arose, Lu Yan felt an inexplicable uneasiness, and a faint sense of warning arose in his soul, which was close to the foundation-building stage.

Lu Yan subconsciously pressed his eyebrows, and he became a little alert.

Ever since leaving the apocalyptic version, Lu Yan's soul would often have some perceptions, but Lu Yan did not notice anything at the time.

As Lu Yan's cultivation reached the twelfth level of Qi training, this perception became more and more obvious, and it seemed as if he could foresee good or bad fortune.

Lu Yan guessed that this might be related to the large amount of moonlight spiritual energy he absorbed in the apocalyptic version.

The apocalyptic version of the zombies have been absorbing and exhaling the moon's spiritual energy day after day for years, giving rise to all kinds of special supernatural powers. The faint perception of Lu Yan's soul may be the prototype of the supernatural power born under the nourishment of the moon's spiritual energy. Lu Yan calls it spiritual perception.

Perhaps it was because the moonlight lacked spiritual energy, and spiritual perception could not be fully nurtured. Lu Yan could only make a rough judgment based on his occasional perception.

Selling fairy-tale versions of items would cause feedback from spiritual perception, which made Lu Yan decisively give up the idea.

"So how can we get a lot of credits?"

Lu Yan frowned and thought, and even had the idea of ​​robbing the gang.

However, credit point transfers will inevitably leave traces, and robbery will make it easier to expose yourself.

Just as Lu Yan was thinking hard, he caught a glimpse of this underground pharmaceutical factory out of the corner of his eye, and Lu Yan suddenly understood.

The underground pharmaceutical factory has a complete production line, and the medicines they manufacture do not involve any complicated technology. They are just some common steroid drugs. The most critical technology is simply to mix spiritual energy into the medicine.

The original underground pharmaceutical factories only dared to use industrial-grade spiritual energy in order to save costs, which led to many side effects, and they could only attract people with price advantages.

But Lu Yan has a large number of spirit stones in his hands, and he can even use the spirit marrow ore to cultivate a spirit vein. Adding spiritual energy into the potion can not only reduce side effects, but also the effect is far better than these low-level spiritual potions.

After all, untamed spiritual energy is far less useful than mild spiritual energy in strengthening the body.

In an instant, countless thoughts burst into Lu Yan's mind.

With a meaningful smile on his face, Lu Yan reached out and patted Quentin's arm.

"It's very simple. I just sell medicine, right?"
